hi everyone and good morning. today is saturday, the 24th of january 2015. i'm anna kooiman. we begin with a fox news alert. yemen on fire as its government falls. and now the white house suspending counter terrorism operations there. so was the administration caught off guard? here is a flashback. >> this strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that we are have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> what message is this sending to our enemies. >> the race for the white house heating up this morning. washington insiders placing their bets on 2016. >> if i gave you $100, sent to you las vegas to bet on a

candidate most likely to it be the republican nominee, how would you allocate your funds? >> that is the question that hangs in the air? charles krauthammer's answer his revealing topic coming up. >> and how do you teach about climate change? insert disney. the obama's administration's big plan for frozen. mornings are better with friends. >> good morning, this is kenny rogers. you are watching my show, "fox & friends." >> that was your show now? >> thank you keny. we have a major dose of peter doocy in the studio this morning. >> yes. >> wow. he came in and tried to steal your seat. >> i am absolutely honored. peter, it's great to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> i will be honest you are my favorite foreign throw to. great to see you here. >> now i'm right here. four hours. we will see. >> when you came in for the rob o'neil interview that you did initially when you had that exclusive.

i couldn't believe how tall you were. we had talked a million times over satellite but never seen new person. >> i hope it's for the full show. >> great to have you today. >> we have breaking news this morning. what's going on? >> this happening moments ago, breaking news now. president obama canceling the tail end of his trip to india. and we'll head to saudi arabia. >> molly henneberg is live in washington to tell us why this morning. molly? >> good morning tucker, anna, and peter. president obama is still scheduled to leave for india later this hour. instead of flying home to washington on tuesday he will instead leave india and travel to saudi arabia to pay his respects to the late saudi king abdullah. king abdullah died friday and succeeded by his half-brother. initially the white house had said that the vice president joe biden would attend the king's funeral but now word this morning from the white house that the president himself will be going over there. president obama still will

spend sunday and monday in india before leaving on tuesday. he will meet with india's prime minister and will also be the guest of honor at india's republic day parade on monday which commemorates that day in 1950 that india's constitution went into effect. but president obama will not travel to the taj mahal as scheduled on tuesday as he will be headed to saudi arabia to pay his respects to saudi's late king. back to you all in new york. >> thanks a lot molly. appreciate. the president cutting his foreign trip short because he has no choice going to pay respects to but also shore up one of america's last remaining firm allies in the arab world saudi arabia. this after one of our former allies yemen, falls into complete chaos. this will come as a shock to any of you at home watching the president's statements carefully. it was just the other day, figuratively, it was in september of 2014 this fall that the president described

yemen as a stout ally. watch this. >> this strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> they are a place where the american counter terrorism strategy that has been put in place by president obama has succeeded in degrading the threat that those organizations pay to the united states. and we intend to implement an analogous strategy against isil. >> my how things have changed. the rebels have control of the large portion of the capitol it and affecting our counter terrorism efforts there. what does this mean for intelligence gathering if things aren't looking googd. >> we suspended our counter terrorism operations now there now. which is a big deal because when we made the case, when president obama in september made the case we need to go against isis and it's going to work because it's been working in yemen. not working in yemen anymore.

>> had is important for two reasons. first of all chaos is bad when it breaks out. important for two main reasons we have real counter terror operations based in yes, ma'am machine. we have a base there. our predator drone flights have been shut down. second problem is yemen was our ally. you protect them. government of yemen took our side in terror. what do we do in exchange nothing? we sat by while the mob toppled the government? what does it say to the rest of the allies around the government. >> what are we supposed to do because these rebels are enemies of al qaeda i'm sure they would be happy to have us come in there and help them get rid of al qaeda. dismiss al qaeda. is that something that we want to do? >> they are explicitly anti-american iranian backed militia. we had an arrangement with the government of ally. we want more allies rather than few. that's what the president ran on we are going to

increase the allies around the globe it makes us safer. here we had an ally we did nothing to protect the government of yemen. why is a future ally want over say china when we don't have a record of protecting our allies? >> is this the first time that the president has acted in naive fashion and acted credit columbus no says florida congressman ron desan tis. he says the president has done this time and time again. take a listen. >> whether it's libya or his involvement in syria and of course now having cited yemen we are now looking at a situation where you will have iranian backed militants seize control of the government. the moderate sunni establishment who we had been allied with, they are being pushed out. that's going to actually give al qaeda in the arabian peninsula more berth to be able to operate. they are a very lethal group. this is going south very quickly i think the president was just naive back in september when he cited it as a success story. >> yeah and apparently we

had no idea this was happening. our intelligence services didn't know this was happening. this problem unresolved, there are many americans many hundreds of americans in yemen in the embassy u.s. military personnel. marine guards, a lot of u.s. citizens in yemen. they are there. should they stay? >> should we bring them home? >> can this become a hostage situation where they're trapped there. >> interesting when the white house answers that v.a. and the irs. they said we learned about this in news reports. >> of course. >> this is in the the first foreign government to fall where the white house apparently had no idea at all right up until the last moment. >> switch gears now to go to our janice dean covering extreme weather. right now a fast moving storm dumping rain, snow and sleet on the northeast and new england. it's the first major storm of 2015 hitting 16 states from tennessee to maine. some areas could see up to 8 inches of snow today. janice dean is tracking it all for us. janice?

>> peter, you have got to come out with me you intrepid reporter you. >> it was slick walking over here from the hotel. >> did you get into a nice hotel last night my friend? >> yes, with no snow boots my mother would be horrified. >> you did not speak to me you are a personal weather reporter. across the northeast sleet mixed in with snow it is nasty out here. i'm glad it's the weekend and people should not be traveling into work. it is saturday. you can see north of us that's where we are getting the general jackpot of snow that's where it continue from the morning into the afternoon. a changeover to all rain. it's going to be a mess. potential for freezing rain as well. people are advised to stay off othe roads. i think 50 million people are expected by storm system. we will continue to monitor it live from the streets of new york. back inside? peter, tucker anna, we will see you later. >> you are so intrepid janice, we are impressed. >> thank you. we need to get right to your news headlines now. start with this fox news alert while you were

sleeping a helicopter crash has left two marines dead. this happened during a training exercise at a base in southern california at this hour. the marine corps is not releasing their names. no word on what brought that chopper down. a suspected terrorist charged with murdering five u.s. soldiers will face a federal judge in new york today. faruq mohammed is accused of organizing the 2009 attack at a u.s. base in iraq. five servicemen died when a truck full of explosives blew up at the base's gait. he is a canadian citizen. he was arrested there four years ago but was recently extradited to the united states. sarah palin for president? the former alaskan governor telling reporters at a las vegas charity event, of course she is interested in running. she will be joining other possible candidates later today at the iowa freedom summit. and those are your headlines. yeah a couple dozen republicans.

>> who isn't running for president? >> not many women on the republican side. >> who would you bet on if you had to bet. that's the question that steve hayes posed to charles krauthammer last night. if money was on the line. >> if i gave you $100 sent to you las vegas to bet on a candidate most likely to be the republican nominee, how would you allocate your funds? >> your chips? >> your chips, yes. >> 40 on rubio. 30 on bush. 15 on scott walker and i would blot rest on booze. >> leave it right there. put charles back up there. 40 on rubio he? >> is he my under estimated dark horse candidate who threads his way, young energetic. he has got a program and he, i think if he runs against hillary, the contrast, say

vigor, the energy that kennedyesque idea will be a major one. >> but a significant bet on jeb bush? >> right. it's the booze that i'm looking forward to. [ laughter ] >> i don't think i have ever disagreed with chamberlain & mccreery in my -- disagreed with charles krauthammer in my life. i'm not now. there are a ton of the conservatives in the republican party and. >> you don't think rubio are conservative enough. >> there are people more conservative certainly on immigration and other issues. the grass roots of the party want to be heard. i don't know if their nominee will make it or not. it's a long slog between here and there. >> others are saying a freshman senator in the white house is what we have right now. how is that going over? could that effect his chances. >> big chances too for rubio since he was running against charlie crist, cuba as that evolves into what it is, whatever is happening right now, he is going to be very

vocal. >> there is no question of that. >> winning florida is of course the whole ticket. >> his newspaper was vandalized for calling illegal immigrants illegal. is he not backing down. meet the editor who will not be silenced. >> how do you teach about climate change? insert disney. wait until you hear the obama's administration big plan for frozen. ♪ let it go ♪ turn away and slam the door ♪ i don't care ♪ what they're going to say ♪ let the storm rage on ♪ es

story on february 16th. scott wrote the article city editor at the santa barbara news press and joins us now from california. thanks for coming on this morning. i appreciate it, scott. >> you bet, tucker good morning. >> tell us what you did to incite the fury that these protests vandalism. what exactly was your crime? we actually used an appropriate term for people here in this country illegally by calling them illegals. >> here is the exal illegals line up for driver's licenses opens door to illegal past. this is in response to the state of california's decision to give driver's license to illegals. your view is you were just using the correct term to describe the people involved in this story. >> i don't know if it was all the people involved in the story. the state of california is granting the driving privilege to people who are in the united states in the

united states illegally. using a correct attorney for people here illegally. a term we have used for 10 years at least. >> it's a literally accurate term. and, yet paper after paper across the country has stopped using it in the face of protests. why you have decided to keep using it? >> >> well, we don't believe in capitulating to people who are going to tell us how to run our newspaper. we don't ask people to -- what we should write beforehand and we are not going to ask people what we should write beforehand before going forward. >> that's a succinct freedom of the press, is it not? >> i hope it's the only summation of freedom of the press. >> why aren't other editors taking a stand? why have they been cowed? >> well, i think cow is the word. when you have people at your front door demanding you do something, banging drums having loud protests. turning the american flag upside down as if they are in distress over something

you have done, that can be pretty intimidating to people. i think that a lot of people have simply cow cow towed to a part of the public. >> what you are say something this is more than a public relations matter. more than getting people to calm down and go away. there is an important principle at the heart of this. >> there is a lot of principles. there is state privilege versus federal law. there is the freedom of the press. we are a private business. people coming and telling us how to do our business would be like people going to coca cola and saying hey, you should make pepsi or 7 up. we are a private business in the united states of americaed in the state of california and we are choosing to run ourselves the way that we see fit. >> how long before that changes in the federal government tells people who to hire, who not fire it makes all kinds of limits on people's behavior. how long before somebody

someone in the state of california makes the term illegal hate speech and tries to ban it. >> i don't think anybody will be able to ban us from using anything. we have shown over the years that we will fight for what the santa barbara news press believes is right. i think the fact that people across the country have subscribed to our newspaper online through our web site at news-press.com after this thing has erupted shows that we are touching a nerve across the country that people are sick and tired of a lawlessness everywhere in the united states. >> i hope our readers understand just what a brave and tough and i think important thing it is that you are doing. i really do. so few people are doing it. and so god bless you for standing up. we appreciate it? >> thank you. >> scott steepleton. thanks. kids can't pass the class? don't worry one school district lowering the

proposal by governor scott walker? >> i don't understand the consistent fascination that politicians like scott walker have to do with the urine of poor people. drug testing people for public assistance has been proposeness other states. consistently at best it will prove to be unconstitutional as it has been in other states. at worst it will be unconstitutional and a waste of taxpayers' dollars. other states that have tried this very few people ever turn up with positive drug test. not true that poor people use drugs at higher rate. they have less rate. >> that's apples to oranges. that's a completely different issue because the people who may be on drugs who aren't taking government handouts aren't subsidizing their habits by the taxpayer you and me, right dr. murray? >> unfortunately i think the guest is inaccurate in what the studies have shown. there is the issue of the higher prevalence rate amongst the poor, the unemployed, and the people who are assistance. studies at health and human

services and the national survey have shown drug rates at least twice that of the regular population and some instances young women 18 to 24 if they are receiving aid for families with dependent children as many as 37% of them have dependency problems with drugs and alcohol. >> about yeah but the department of health and human services looked at this program in different states around the country and did not find that it yielded any positive results. when tennessee put this policy into practice they got one positive drug did test after. florida the cost of the program itself it's not free and fighting it in the courts spent over half a million dollars. it wastes taxpayers' dollars. there are very few. the other states it will be handful out of maybe 1,000 or more people who get tested. it's really not effective. all it is a way of politically posturing with something that's meaningless. >> the way governor walker explains it the state will offer free treatment and free job training for anybody who does tests

positive for drugs. he said that is a way it is going to help improve the economy and help improve the budget. his new budget proposal will be released on the 3rd of february. thank you for debating that with us this morning. >> thank you. >> 28 minutes after the hour. and come up on "fox & friends" weekend did tom brady really have no clue about deflate gate? former nfl player randal hill has an idea about what was going on behind the scenes. plus, after her husband has been slammed by the left over the movie american sniper, chris kyle's wife just got an awesome surprise. what left her speechless next.

marley shell game. someone knew and i'm guessing it would probably be the quarterback, tom brady. >> just like a doctor would know that his scalpel wasn't as sharp or a photographer would know his flash wasn't going off as bright. you would think the quarterback who hams the ball every day in practice and games would notice that something was a little bit different. is this something that has been going on in the nfl for a long time? is this something where folks are just kind of looking the other way going this is normal? >> well, i don't know how long it's been going on and i played with dan moreno the best of the best of the best and i'm sure he didn't take any of the air out of the balls. i'm definitely sure that mr. brady, is he like the captain kirk on that field and he was aware of some of the air not actually being in the ball. give me a break. >> why was it something said then? i don't know and where it occurred. officials didn't find out until halftime.

>> were they able to use the same balls after halftime? if the investigation is still ensuing and -- this is crazy. >> randal, the latest report out this morning on espn says that 40 people have been interviewed by the nfl trying to figure out what happened to these balls. based on your experience in the league, would 40 people have had access before the game and said yeah they're okay? >> yeah that is a possibility. i wouldn't each start at 40 people. i would just starlight at the ball boy and the quarterback. that's the only two you need to talk to, so when asked about this first appearance tom brady said look, this isn't isis nobody is dying. remind us why this is important. >> well, this is important because, i integrity check for the nfl and for the patriots. this is not wwe and you

don't want things set up and this is important because also, you got people out in vegas betting on spreads and those are the people who are doing it legally. what about the people doing till legally? they may have some questions to ask certain people because, you know, you now you are digging into individuals' pockets. >> randal, i have one final question for you. you played with some big boys at the u. you ever play with anybody strong enough to spike the ball and deflate it like that? because that's somebody that tom brady said and they everywhere joking about ron spiking it so hard that oh all 1 balls got spiked and that's what happened? do you know anybody that could have done that? >> not really unless you are going to look at duane the rock johnson or someone like loren sap but not really. i just don't believe that. >> all about the integrity of the game. randal, thank you so much for your time. >> thanks for having me. >> have a great weekend.

good morning and a fox news alert. it's been called a quote worse case scenario, the resignation of yemen president and the death of the saudi king, u.s. allies in our war on terror. >> so what does it mean for the united states and for the president's foreign policy? >> joining us now fox news terror analyst and author of the lost spring walid

phares. good morning wall leads. >> good morning to you. >> walid, first question, how bad is this right now in yemen? running most of our counter terror ops out of yemen in the region. doesn't look like we have a place to do that anymore. >> not only it's that but it's going to be worse. you have now in yemen two areas large areas controlled by two terror forces for iranians have seized the capitol are now heading towards the coast to reach the red sea. and that would give iran a passage through the red sea strategic advantage. also you have al qaeda in the arabian peninsula that is now going to take advantage and recruit nor sunnies against the she a extremists. in each case the united states has less influence and more threats are heading our way from yemen. >> walid, you have been warning the president, the congress as well about something like this happening for months now. do you believe that this

actually still somehow caught them off guard? >> what i don't know how to answer that question, yes. in my book i spoke about, projected actually that the pro-iranian militias are going going to take part of the country. i hope brief the administration about it learning from experts on the ground in yemen in a region that this is going to happen. now at what point in time the administration decided to act or not to act. can i see a pattern here. wherever there is influence of iran unfortunately the obama administration is not counting at this point in time. >> to your point walid, we have a map where you see how much ground really iran has control over right now. you have got yemen baghdad in iraq. damascus n. syria and beirut in lebanon. places you don't necessarily think of being under the thumb of the iranians. >> absolutely. that map is excellent. you can see how many capitols in the region are under iranian control and

influence. which i think isis in syria and iraq. but iran isn't -- iraq is in syria with assad. is in lebanon with hezbollah and in yemen. project that the iranians are eastern part of saudi arabia and baja rain. they are acting really fast. how are the gulf states going to act to this. if you are the saudi kingdom, royal family you must be really worried about this. how are they responding and is that a stable government in saudi arabia? >> first of all, it is a stable government in the sense that this is a monarchy. they pass on to the next king. that's not the issue at this point in time. the issue for them is they see they are surrounded by iranian influence. to the south you have yemen. to the north you have iranian influence and iraq. to the east, have you iranian influence coming through bahrain and eastern saudi arabia. saudi arabian is completely threatened by the iranian

movements. >> with this heightened chaos, what will that mean for u.s. policy? >> first of all the administration said that we have been successful in yemen. now we are going to have a al qaeda five times the size as it was in the beginning. one thing across the waters into africa. al qaeda in yemen will be training, has been training but will increase its training in support to it shah bob in somalia across the waters in africa. we are going to be dealing with a much larger network of jihadists coming from yemen. >> walid phares, a man the white house ought to be paying close attention to. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> coming up, call the wussification of america. one school district wants to lower the failing grade so that more students pass. is that really a good idea? >> plus a teacher turned war hero comes home and surprises a room full of his students. ♪ [cheers]

god some headlines for you. the governor's decision to legalize pot not a good idea. opposed the decision by voters the referendum. they still don't fully understand the unintend ited consequences of the move. he is urging other states to quote wait and see before doing the same thing. >> pink is the new orange, inmates in the georgia county jail are getting new hot pink jump suits.

public safety chief of the jail says he hopes inmates will hate the color and never want to come back. some inmates say they find the color quote fabulous. peter? >> i don't think that last part was in there, was it, tucker? >> calling the with us if i case wussification of america. lower the failing grade to 60%. making it easier for students to pass. is this move only hurting student in the long run? here now to debate it is a parent and former teacher whitney meal and father of four and parenting expert dr. michael. thank you both for joining us. >> good morning. >> i guess the first question would be for you whitney. is this -- how does this really help students? >> well, you know, i don't think it does. i understand that we want to give students who are struggling the opportunity to kind of change their path but when you tell kids we are going to make it a little easier on you

midpoint opportunity to prove that you work harder and raise your grade. change your grade from zero to 60 so that your average is higher you are getting kids know they have to do the bear minimum to achieve a passing great grade. it doesn't teach them there are consequences to failure and consequences to not real work. >> in the real world they are going to have a boss. their boss is not going to make it easier for them to fail. if you don't get the job done, you don't get the job done. what say you. >> my opinion is totally opposite. we are talking about the lower set of the 10% here. the top 10% is always going to be top 10%. kids having a hard time they will drop out. we have shown that retention, you know, making them repeat doesn't necessarily work. so, if you look at the kids that drop out, they make on average $200,000 average less than someone who has a high school diploma over their lifetime. a million dollars less than a college grad. and 75% of all the crimes in this country are by high school dropouts.

so i, in my opinion, we have to try and graduate these kids. not give them a free pass and say hey, you just passed but it's an opportunity to give them a second is chance. >> but no matter what the failing grade is no matter what the lower level is, kids are always going to struggle. there is always going to be people hovering right around that failing mark. is making it easier to fail a better solution than helping troubled students? >> this school is looking outside the box. they are not just graduating earn. they are saying if you failed first semester and we identify some issues and help you and work with you and do do well the second semester, we will bring up your first semester grades. i think that's a second chance. our follow as a country is let's graduate everybody. we are falling way back as far as worldwide. you know education. so my opinion is, let's help the lower 7% a little bit. not just pass them. not give everybody a trophy. i'm not suggesting that. but i'm all for compassion and second chance. >> and we have heard now

some push back from the monroe county director of schools. he says. this the new grading policy does not result in 60 being the new zero. instead it offers hope to students who struggle academically. more importantly, the new grading policy still places the onus on the student to put forth effort to make academic gains. whitney, dr. mike, thank you very much for joining us. and coming up next, "american sniper" getting torn apart by the hollywood left. some even calling chris kyle a coward. but the man who killed usama bin laden rob o'neil says without snipers he wouldn't be here today and he joins us next hour. and, call it the erosion of privacy. one state now wants to force you to hand over your social media password to them. what?

hi everyone and good morning. today is saturday, the 24th of january 2015. we begin with a fox news alert. yemen on fire as the government falls. now the white house is counter terrorism operations there. what message is this sending to our enemy? >> the obama administration still refusing to call it what it is. >> obviously the big estherer that we could make would be be to blame muslims collectively for crimes not committed by muslims alone. >> theologian in chief john kerry. why won't they use the phrase islamic extremism. >> completely changing gears. do you remember your first kiss? this kid does. >> it effects my brain so much it goes kablooie. i had a funny feeling.

it's so great. >> is he going viral this morning. he will be here live with more on that kiss because better with friends. ♪ hi, it's gary sinise you are watching "fox & friends." >> starting to learn more about known little girl since they were 3. it's been a long time. >> not a flash in the pan. >> some schools really hard to fail and other schools you send off your kid and coming back after kissing all day what happened to this country it was totally consensual. i'm convinced. we're glad to sigh. by the way good morning, peter. >> thank you for having me. >> clayton is out on a ski weekend with his family. >> we have a fox news alert this morning. >> moments ago president obama board air force one he is headed to i observed i can't. overnight we learned that he is cutting that trip short to make a stop in saudi arabia. >> our friend molly

henneberg live in washington with all the details. what is happening? >> tucker anna, peter, good morning. president obama leaves today for a trip to india but will add a stop on the way back. going to saudi arabia to pay his respects to the family of the late king abdullah. still, the president will meet with india's prime minister and also will be the guest of honor at india's republic day parade on monday which commemorates the day in 1950 that india's constitution went into effect. but then on tuesday, he will head to saudi arabia. initially the white house had said that vice president joe biden would travel to saudi arabia but now the white house said in a statement that the president himself will be going the statement said quote we ajusted of the schedule in coordination with the indian government so the president would be able to depart india following his speech on tuesday too stop in riyadh during the return trip to meet with king salman the new king inside saudi arabia and offer his

condolences on behalf of the american people. the president had been scheduled to visit the taj mahal in india on tuesday. the white house says he regrets that he will not be able to do that on this trip. back to you in new york. >> thanks, molly. that's a measure of just how important this development is. yemen falls, a key ally of the united states in the war on terror. not only rhetorically but physically there is a base in yemen big deal right now suspended some these counter terror operations. what now? what do we do? where do we go? it was such an important part of going and getting these guys two weeks ago. one of the charlie hebdo gunmen said he was receiving money and training from guys in yemen. this is an important place

what now. >> look back seems they were surprised by. this walid phares said i have been warning congress about this and hoping they would brief the president in september. listen. >> not only it's bad my friends but it's going to be worse. you have now in yemen two areas large areas controlled by two terror forces. pro-iranians have seized the capitol are now heading towards the coast to reach the red sea. and that would give iran a passage strategic advantage. also you have al qaeda in the arabian peninsula that is now going to take advantage and recruit more sunnis against the she a extremists. in either case the united states has less influence and more threats are heading our way from yemen. >> certainly much less influence. i mean look, if you are a u.s. ally and the president described yemen as a key u.s. ally since september,

there is expectation that the united states will be helping you when you need help. we didn't offer any help apparently. this government just fell when a crowd of men with guns surrounded the palace. now the message to other would be u.s. allies is clear. we're not going to help you when you need it. >> the scary thing what walid just said it now describes a vacuum al qaeda in the arabians peninsula is going to be stronger. they're not just people that talk about doing stuff. they're behind the underwear plot in 2009. the printer plot in 2010. that's where they print inspire magazine from to try to drum up support around the world. >> this is a problem shiites mostly backed by iran and sunnies by the gulf states. it's in fact a religious conflict. john kerry, the secretary of state, knows much more about islam it turns out though he went to saint paul's in yale he is deeply rooted in this religion we call islam. he rescued the rest of the

world what it really means. listen to this. >> obviously the big estherer that we would make would be to blame muslims collectively for crimes not committed by muslims alone. crimes that the overwhelming majority of muslims oppose. crimes that their faith utterly rejects. and that muslim leaders themselves have the greatest ability to address. religions don't require adherence to raise villages and blow up people. individuals with distorted and even ignorant i interpretation who do that. >> don't you think as we speak the leadership of al qaeda huddling in their caves in waziristan saying we thought we were doing this in the name of alla. turns out we are wrong. did you hear what john kerry what he said this is not islamic what we are doing. >> when people say islamic extremism, islamic terrorism. they are not talking about

peaceful muslims. they are talking about the boston becoming the attack on the coffee shop in australia. talking about fort hood. talking about benghazi. come on, why won't you call it what it is. ask any war hero how you win a war you name your enemy defeat your enemy. calvary rove is explaining now why he thinks the administration just went say it. >> the only plausible explanation which is the president is arrogantly stubborn in refusing to do this because he understands on some level maybe not consciously but on some level this would undermine his whole world view that america is to blame, that the things that have happened in the middle east are largely the responsibility of us or the israelis. we're at fault. it's not them. it's in the the bad guys. >> all right there is a problem it's got to be the right wing christians. that's their default view. >> let us know what you think about this twitter at "fox & friends" or friends@foxnews.com. >> look at extreme weather. a live view now of

worcester, massachusetts. storm moving up the east coast and across the northeast. >> the system is dumping a messy and icky mix of freezing rain and snow including this in alabama late last night. yuck. >> janice dean back outside tracking it all for us. good morning again, janice. oh you don't have somebody holding the umbrella at this time. >> i don't pay enough money obviously. you know what? it has calmed down a little bit. we are getting a dry slot in this nor'easter coastal storm here in new york city. a little bit of light precipitation but not enough to warrant my own umbrella holder. take a look at the maps and i will show you what we are dealing with icky and yucky yes meteorologist call terms using all day today. snow and freezing rain and just plain old cold rain. new york city see the dry spot moving in. north of the city. west of the city getting ♪ look at boston a few inches out of this system. winter weather advisories in the pinks. those are are winter weather warnings. in some ways we could see

easily 5 to 8 inches of snow. there is a look at the first alert forecast radar. this storm will be out of here by dinner time for most and then we are going to watch next clipper system move into the ohio valley and eventually the northeast on monday so that could cause some problems on the commute in. we will certainly track it for you. we are live outside 48th and sixth. back inside where it is warm. >> icky and yucky. >> icky and yucky all day long. >> when i woke up and the snow is falling i thought is going to be a nice beautiful day and quiet. >> i want the snow and so do my kids. >> thank you so much. all right. some other stories making headlines. a fox news alert now while you were sleeping a helicopter crash has left two marines dead. this happened during a training exercise at a base in southern california. at this hour the marine corps is not releasing their names. no word on what brought that chopper down. a suspected terrorist charged with murdering five u.s. soldiers will face a federal judge in new york

in once we started hitting targets, limed up high. look through doors and windows before we got there. not uncommon to be silent and hear spots go off. they spotted insurgents they saved our lives. one place in particular i was going down alley i was the number one man in position or point man i had people behind me. i was getting to go inside outdoor rooms. walls but no rooftops. i heard shots go off. insurgent fell dead in the middle of the room. up ambush. i looked up and sniper looking down for me hey, you are clear. >> if a sniper doesn't come and save you that day, somebody like you doesn't have the chance years later. >> this sniper -- this insurgent was so close he could have shot me if he wanted. >> having your life saved by one, how do you respond to the criticism you are hearing not just of the movie but of snipers in general in this from matt

taibbi. he describes the movie as almost too dumb to criticize. >> i read his what he thought of the movie and just based on some of the stuff he has written, he seems like he hates america. he hates hollywood, the left the right. >> and himself. >> he probably hates himself. is he a clever writer and entertaining. he doesn't know anything about us. he hasn't been to war he can't judge us. he can't judge movies. >> far left buy into this and read "rolling stone" let's remember what "rolling stone" glorifying terrorism. putting boston bomber tsarnaev on the cover. they bust the story about the alleged rape at uva and falsely'h

what is actually happening. kind of in a bubble out there. >> this "american sniper," great movie, one of the first movies in years that does not center around something that you were involved in. but, chris kyle sent you something just before he died. >> it was pretty cool. he sent me a signed copy of his book through a friend. my initial reaction was i'm not sure i want a book signed by another seal. i opened it and it said great shot chris kyle. that's cool. i will take that. >> it must be that snipers are desperately needed. it must be hard for some of them like how what effect does it have on the man?

>> well, i don't think it has much of an effect because they have so much going on. like i said, they get us there, they know the security there. they are talking to everybody from the bosses back home to the coordinating air support. they are doing all kinds of stuff. when it comes to take a shot they are so well trained the shot is the shot. they are confident. in the like they are taking blind shots at people. >> just opposite. >> limbating the threat. saving lives. they are great people. >> what does that mean to you as a seal going in on a mission and he knowing that a sniper has your back? what kind of confidence does it give you to do that. >> we would try to do it as quietly as we could. we want want to blow stuff up. walking in and get that adrenaline rush. you hear a shot and i remember thinking god those guys are cool. >> so much of "american sniper" movie centers around the stress that was on chris kyle. how is the stress of a sniper who is watching his brothers in danger through a scope from above different than the stress of the guys

who are breaking down the doors and searching the houses? >> the stress hat goes to be be there for them. especially in iraq when it was hot in 2007. i don't mean hot like the enemy physically hot. up in hides gets to 135 degrees and they are up there. and they have got to keep their eyes on the people moving. they have to take the presis shot and they have to hit and be justified. the stress is definitely there when they come home it takes a while to get back to normal. >> how long are they stuck up there. >> it depends. i know guys rotate in and out four hours at a time. all up there days at a time. four hours on four hours off. four hours on, four hours off. >> thanks for your service. >> coming up on the run for more than 30 years. and fugitive just found hiding right under everyone's noses. how did he get away? >> one state fighting cyber bullying with this. forcing kids to hand over social media pass words. is that fair? we're debating it live next.

everywhere the bottom line is we have to do something about this epidemic. certainly the four walls of the schools don't stop the authority of the school. that's the key here. the authority must go to social media these kids are connected because of the school and the school has authority and the state of illinois. >> i get it. so let's -- there is a devastating epidemic super scary. we don't have any numbers on that. give up your privacy as a relevant are. how does that sound? do you like that bargain? >> doesn't sound good it me. i don't think it should happen at all. need to step back and take a first look at the what's really happening with cyber bullying of course it's happening. start early on educating our children. parents need to take a role in this, too. in teaching our children about cyber bullying. about technology. we can't leave it until they get to high school or college and then say okay now all of a sudden now we're going to take away their pass words or collect their pass words and get their information. start much earlier on the education of cyber bullying so when it gets to that point i believe not handing

over your passion words is not the way to do it. not going to correct things. >> make a really good point. this is parenting will problem. there are a lot of really bad parents out there. does it strike that you the fact that the american family has totally collapsed might have something to do with this. >> that's part of the problem. a lot of the points has brought up is part of the problem. we don't have time to sit around and analyze this problem as another teen is bull idea. what a form of bullying for a teenager to go through this massive thousands of people, you know all over the internet knowing about certain things things about a teenager. it is horrible, it's an epidemic. and it's got to stop. >> if it's epidemic just quickly among kids. adults bully each other why don't i have a right to your password. >> you don't and it's not happening. we are not giving up our pass words to everybody. what's going to be next the government is going to want our pass words? unless it's your child's.

i'm not giving my password to the authorities of government, of schools. >> you are comparing apples and oranges. >> i didn't believe we are out of time. >> that's not fair. >> this will continue in the commercial break. >> criminal penalties. >> thanks so so much for joining us. we know you have got thoughts about that send them to us and we will put them on the air. food police at it again. second grader sent home because her lunch wasn't healthier enough. her dad says he knows better than the state. evidence refused to sign it should he spend life in prison. we'll debate that do you remember your first kiss? this kid does. >> it goes to the my brain so much. it just goes kablooie, i had a funny feeling, so great. >> it's going scrirl is morning. he will be live. first eric bolling on cashing in.

to use the term illegal. >> not even calling them racist. a lot other vial names. protesting and even vandalizing the business there police actually had to barricade the door so that the employees could even get inside. scott steepleton editor of the into he has been using this term since 2006. this has hit a fevered pitch. he said this term is what i want to use and i will. take a listen. >> we actually usen appropriate term for people who are here in this country illegally by calling them illegals. we don't believe in capitulating to people who are going to tell us how to run our newspaper. we don't ask people to -- what we should write beforehand and we're not going it ask people what we should write beforehand going forward. >> i think my heart just skipped a beat. that's exactly what you want in an editor. journalists need to be tough. you get attacked all the time. say what you think is true.

not so good though in the middle now. >> no. >> big vacuum in yemen. let's start there how dangerous is it now that their president who came to power during the arab spring popular uprising. how dangerous is it that he is now gone? >> it's dangerous for two reasons, peter. first, our guy actually enabling us to work with the local yemen military to go arch al qaeda, especially their training camp. this is hugely bad. secondly, those who are replacing him actually iranian backed. now with this loss of support, we have lost our ability to conduct counter terrorism operations in yemen. the "the washington post" is trying to down play how bad this is. this is hugely bad. we can't operate there now despite the investments we have made. plus, the iranians now have four major country trips they have influence in to include yemen. when you put that on top of

the fact that you have this chaos in saudi arabia as you were mentioning. we have very few options now who move forward after we go after the pad guys here. >> you mentioned that now we really can't run counter terror operations out of yemen. where do we go? >> that's a great question. we were actually doing things out of gentleman beauty a while back. it's a far cry from yemen. the thing you have to remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend sometimes. in this time we talking about huthi to go after the saudi royal family. there is indication that isis because we are they growing and not stopping them despite what the president says they are talking about requesting the family as well. the saudi family with the loves the kings and the chaos there may further incident skate there will be things to do things shouldth saudis become under heavy

good morning, we will make you smile with next segment. don't your first kiss? maybe it went something like this? >> i got my first kiss today. and it's just so mind blowing. goes to my brain, it goes to my heart.

and it goes to my brain so much. it just goes kablooie. i had a funny feeling. it was so great. >> that's griffin carpenter. his brain went kablooie and he quickly became internet sensation when he recorded his reaction to first kiss. so far his reaction has received over 1.3 million views. joining us now 7-year-old griffin carpenter and his mom melanie. thank you very much griffin and melanie. >> thanks for having us. >> so, griffin first, tell us about the lucky lady. >> what? i didn't hear. >> you who did you kiss. >> i was on the hunts center van and we were talking about something and she leaned over and kissed me and i was like why did she do that? >> so she was trying to pick you up. you didn't even need to say anything. >> and then i got off.

my mom picked me up and i was still like why did she do that? >> you didn't look very mad in the video. you looked like you were kind of happy about it. >> well, i was happy and kind of mad, too. >> mad, why? >> and confused. >> so many emotions. mom, what do you think about this? >> oh it's kind of -- i don't know. >> how long, melanie, how long had griffin been going before you got out the camera? >> oh, he was -- i told me the story first and at first i didn't know how to react to it. i was like okay, what's going on here? do i need to get in touch with somebody at the school? but then it turned into this just, you know, profession of wow, it was just amazing how he was expressing himself. >> if it wasn't for my -- my

second grandma, i don't know. >> his nanna. this is all happening because of his grandmother. >> so has the girl in question, the young lady who kissed griffin, has she seen the video and what does she think of it? >> oh, she is mad. >> why? >> because her parents saw it. >> they were informed it was all happening. so we kind of -- we talked about it. >> if her mom and dad saw it, if they were watching the moving and interrupting happens, and they were eating popcorn i think one of the tooths might have fell out because it was so crazy. >> so mad that their teeth fall out? griffin, what do you want to

we begin with a fox news alert. the president once called yemen a quote model of success. but this morning our ability to fight terror there totally crippled. counter terrorism operations suspended. should the white house have seen this coming? >> then, robbed at gunpoint and stuffed in her car trunk, but this one escaped. and the kidnapper is still on the run. she joins us live this hour. >> out of the trunk. and they just can't let it go. the state department official who wants to use frozen to teach kids climate change. welcome. it's 8:00 in new york and mornings are better with friends. >> this is danica patrick and you are watching "fox & friends," the best show to get your motor running. >> that is for sure. no debate there. we are so glad to have peter does with with us this morning. >> we're both up from washington. >> yes we are. nice to have an ally from the nation's capitol. >> here to get our motor

running and heading down the highway too. >> normally if in washington they say if you want a friend get a dog. >> we do have a fox news alert this morning. president obama has cut his trip to india short. he will not be going to the taj mahal among other sites because is he is flying to saudi arabia to pay his last respects to king abdullah of saudi arabia. the back fall here yemen the american ally war on terror. site of a predator drone base. in the last two days that country has fallen apparently to shiite militia that is aggressively anti-american. >> it's a big deal that president obama is changing travel plans because it takes a loot to get the itinerary on one of these trips that they start planning months and months in advance changed for any reason. >> security concerns are absolutely enormous. he feels he has no choice

because this really is one of those stories people may not recognize as big but it is. you may not know where yemen is on a map. it has played a key role in our fight. we are not operating drones or any sort of counter terror activities out of yemen. >> what does that mean for our intelligence-gathering? it means that it's not happening to a very large agree. it means terror in that region can be growing as we speak. >> yemen is what president obama said hey, we need to go and get isis, this is how we are going to do it. different combination of things, some air strikes, some friends are going to help us. it's going to work because yemen is working. that was in september. >> this strategy of taking out terrorists threaten us while supports partnerren on the front lines they are a

place where the american succeeded in we intend to implement an analogous strategy against isil. >> did you hear what the president just said? he said while supporting partners on the front lines. we have allies throughout the rest of the world helping us fight terror. yet, in this very specific case, we didn't d. no such thing. sat by while the pro-american government of yemen was overthrown by a militia, apparently extremists shiites, anti-american and we did nothing to prop up our so-called ally yemen. >> how did we get this wrong and should we have seen it coming? should the white house have seen it coming? charles krauthammer explains how the administration got it all wrong. >> look obama's idea is that the country went wrong by reacting overstrongly to 9/11 by being a bully, by opening up these prisons, by guantanamo and he would come in and he would allow the

world to see a different america. and he put us openly and essentially deliberately into retreats thinking that's the way to rectify our relations. >> and so it all happened, the president is gone. he came to power during the arab spring. now what? what do we do? intelligence experts are saying this is not good. >> hey with this loss of support, we have lost our ability to conduct counter terrorism operations in yemen. try to down play how bad this is this is hugely bad. we can't operate there now despite the investments we have made. plus the iranians now have four major countries they have influence in to include yemen. so and then when you put that on top of the fact that you have got this chaos in saudi arabia as you were mentioning. we have really very few options on how we move forward to go after the bad guys here.

>> this is just the beginning by the way. when you look at that map is the beginning of a major regional conflict where shiite backed governments in those four capitals, baghdad, damascus and beirut are scaring the heck out of the sunni gufl states right there at the bottom flight world's oil. >> are we protecting their regime by protecting or by what's going on in washington with the sanctions? i mean, come on. >> also, you look at that map, it seems like it's really far away and it is. but the bad guys in yemen are the ones behind the printer cartridge plot. behind the underwear bomb plot. they publish inspire magazine out of there. these are guys where if they have the opportunity to get stronger, which maybe now they will if we are not operating there, we could feel the effects of this vacuum whoever comes. >> you don't need to take

down an airplane to make us hurt. so they threaten saudi arabia which has even now the world's major excess is oil production capacity and for that reason they basically control world petroleum prices and all of a sudden energy is twice what it is now. and that crushes our economy. and the world economy. this is not a small thing at all. >> just charlie hebdo, one of the guys said he got his training and money from yemen. that's while we were there. we were friendly. he got in and out. now what when we are not even there? >> exactly. >> we are going to switch gears now. winter weather alert. heavy snow bearing down on the northeast right now. check thought video from earlier this morning in massachusetts. >> it's the first major storm of the year. packing a messy mix of freezing rain and snow with some areas getting 8 to 10 inches. >> is there anyone better to track this storm than janice dean? i honestly can't think of one thank heavens she is here. >> thank you so much. this hour the hans some mr. harris is hold go ahead

my umbrella. >> are you going to kiss him, too such a demanding job. thank you, mr. harris. >> take a look at the maps right now. we will do some flirting later. maps, please. the northeast here we go. our husband and our wife love each other. taking a look at the snow. north of new york city. that's where bulls eye is we have a mixture of freezing rain here in new york city right now. issue with the weather advisory is posted for about 40 to 50 million people. good thing is it's a weekend and people are not outside hopefully unlike me but i'm not driving. that's the good news. first alert forecast temperature radar this is going to be pretty much out of here by this evening. and then we are requesting to watch the next clipper system across the ohio valley and the great lakes that one could prevent some problems on monday. thank you so much handsome mr. harris. >> man,it looks cold but janice is making it sound steamy out there.

[ laughter ] >> a little steamy outside o. if anybody can raise the temperature it's janice dean. >> production assistant said this is my first on screen kiss. >> said you should have asked her to practice. >> have other assistants been getting a lot of action on camera. [kiss] >> other stories to get to. start with headlines and fox news alert while you were sleeping a helicopter crash has left two marines dead. this happened during a training exercise at a base in southern california. at this hour, the marine corps is not releasing their names. no word on what brought that chopper down. in just three hours, the suspected terrorist charged with murdering five u.s. soldiers will face a federal judge in new york. faruq is accused of orchestrating the 2009 attack at a u.s. base in iraq. five service men's died when a truckful of explosives blew up at the gate.

arrested four years ago but just recently extradited to the united states. moments ago, a major setback in the recovery of crashed airasia flight 8501 fuselage almost to the water's surface when the ropes around it snapped and its lifting balloons deflated sending it 100 feet back under water. this is the crew's first attempt it. crews think most of the missing bodies could be trapped inside this wreckage. this morning, baseball fans mourning a legend. ernie banks has died. the two-time mvp was the first african-american to play for the chicago cubs, nicknamed mr. cub. he hit a 12 home runs during his 19 year career. he was also the recipient of a 2013 presidential medal of freedom. banks was 833 years old. what a good guy. this next story whether you

have seen "american sniper" or not is excellent. teya kyle was in a big expo and selling gun that she signed. replica of chris kyle's gun. raised about $65,000 for a charity and then something happened. watch this. >> now i don't have words thank you. i don't even know what to say. i mean, it's a bittersweet journey, obviously. i do feel chris with me i am also very aware i know debbie is too physically we all want to be here. the generosity is, to me is less about the money and more about the support. the idea that people still care and love what chris stood for and loved him. >> all that money that they raised for that replica gun they gave the check right back to her.

>> it's kind of funny though here is the hero of the most decorated sniper. this movie has come out and grossed more and more quickly than any r rated movie in the history of hollywood. for some reason it's become this flash point where people on the left in hollywood and other places michael moore and others have lashed out against chris kyle like is he some sort of monster for doing the job he was assigned by the u.s.a. navy to do. we earlier in the show talked to rob o'neill who you famously profiled here on fox. former navy seal as well talked about how his own life was once saved by a sniper put in perspective watch this. >> every mission that we have went on. i have been on 400 missions in different theaters of war. every mission snipers did more than protect us. they found the route. they found ieds on the way in. found targets look through doors and windows before we got there.

not uncommon to be silent and hear shots went off. they shot insurgents and saved our lives. >> a sniper like chris kyle not chris kyle saved his life. usama bin laden might be might not be dead if it weren't for snipers like chris kyle. chris kyle is not someone who is blood thirsty. protecting other men on the battlefield. when he had to make those tough decisions about whether or not to kill a woman or child, you watch the anguish that he goes through as a man, as a real person. but he is protecting the greater good. >> in fact, anybody who sees the movie, chris kyle the way that he is portrayed by bradley cooper brilliantly took no joy in killing. this isn't giving anything away. there is one point in the movie where he makes a very difficult shot and somebody pats him on the back and says way to go. chris kyle says get off me. it's something that he took very seriously. >> he will with of course. >> it's impossible to imagine that anybody who

actually saw "american sniper" would criticize the people who give everything to protect. >> of course. anybody who take as human life. whether in war or not is going to feel the burden be of it. you would be a social yes path. that's why you feel so much even sorry for him. this woman escaped kidnapper on the run at this hour. she will will join us coming up. >> coming to your child's next football game, a doctor. details on the proposed new concussion rules. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the average kid texts 20 words per minute. ♪ ♪ and zero words per manwich. hold on. it's manwich.

it was here in new york they closed up an investigation a local corruption investigation. the feds came in and said we are charging. they have a right to do that. there are different laws. there are federal laws violated and the feds can prosecute if the state doesn't. it's okay for them to do that in fact, i am happy there is another agency overlooking. but the problem was in this case really the state came in and insinuated that there was wrongdoing and that kind of fed the fire that was already being fed by the you know racial profilers. now they have gone through it all. i could have told you from the beginning, in fact i did say in the beginning there is no federal violation. now they are saying there is no federal violation. we have had rioting and looting and buildings burned down. the officer's shooting in my opinion as a former police officer was justified he would have shot him whether he was white brown, hispanic.

i would have shot him myself under those circumstances. >> video knew this -- new this week too over 100 looters. what kind of challenges do you have with doing so many? any? >> the challenge is not so much doing many. if you have people committing serious crimes like that, your job to prosecute them whether it's one or 100 people. >> will it be the same charges against all of them. >> depends on what they're doing. problem is most likely yes. you will try it in a community that has been riled up against the police and so you a lot of times you get jury sentiment that ends up acquitting people who shouldn't have been convicted. >> what kind of ripples might there be from this news that the governor, jay nixon told the national guard while ferguson was completely out of control to stand down? >> that was a very dumb move why bring them into down --

town and not use them when you should be using them. >> politically it will hurt the governor that's for sure. as far as civilly. the problem is sovereign immunity. concept come can over from england common law stemmed from the idea that the king can do no wrong. when it came here the u.s. over time has passed laws to minimize it. basically what it says is you need the permission of the government of the sovereign to sue the sovereign. people have to ask for permission of the government to suit government. federal laws have been passed to allow under circumstances like torts car accidents, things like that to sue the government. state laws have done the same. in missouri the state law is limited. you can see for like car accidents and for property the government owns that it doesn't maintain. they can't sue for this. this is an act the government basically decides i'm going to -- it's a law enforcement act. i'm going to use these resources or whatever. if the governor decides not to deploy. >> there is no recourse.

>> you have got businesses burned down and people who have been injured. some people killed. >> tough for them. >> it's horrible. >> tell us about the podcast. >> i have a podcast connect.com/alex. i have discussed here on any television show i have two or three minutes to talk about a legal issue on my podcast i go for half hour explaining things that people on my twitter and my facebook are always asking me about like can you explain reasonable doubt because we just don't get it or the presumption of innocence which everybody -- >> i think that's correct connect pal.com/judge alex. they claim to be the irs and collect your money. it's a scam this woman didn't stand for it. >> make the payment today? >> yeah, because i actually work for the irs. do you realize that you guys are taking money from innocent people? >> turning the tables on

rachel, how did you realize that you were being punked? >> when i called back right away, the line was busy and that's not like the irs. usually it rings for like two hours. but the phone was breaking up. the guy had broken english so it just kind of clicked and i was like okay, this is not right. >> so broken english is the first thing that made you think maybe not getting a call from the actual irs but you were very concerned when you if first got the message right? >> yes, i was really scared just because i mean if the irs is saying they're going to file a lawsuit that's not an easy thing to hear, and i know i've done everything correctly, so to get a message like that, it was definitely a little scary. >> so you realized that it's a scam. you know that you're not going to pay these guys these crooks. so why'd you record the call back? >> you know, they're actually harassing me a little bit, so it was kind of like if you guys want to play hard ball, i'm game so i was in front of my computer, i hit record and i was

like i'm taking you guys down and hopefully i can help some people on the way. >> have you ever heard from anybody that actually works at the irs about this video? >> i have not. yes, i know they have their own video but they haven't contacted me directly at all. >> do you want them to? do you want to hear from them or share anything with them or with the people watching about what to look out for? >> you know, just telling everybody to i mean probably not a good thing what i did for everyone to do but just hang up and don't waste your time, but i kind of did it for the sake of everyone, just to take them down for all of us. >> thank goodness you knew better rachel. almost tax time that is pretty scary. richle fitzsimmons in our denver bureau, thank you very much. >> thank you so much. still ahead, his newspaper was vandalized for calling imlegal immigrants illegal but is he not backing down. hear from the editor who will not be silenced. then, do you spend money but don't tell your spouse?

the number of couples committing financial infidelity is staggering. we will break it down, next hour.

can good morning everyone. today is saturday the 24th of january, 2015. we begin with a fox news alert. the president once called yellen a "model of success." this morning our ability to fight terror cripple nypd. counterterrorism operations suspended. should the white house have seen this coming? >> the obama administration still refusing to call terrorism what it actually is. watch. >> obviously the biggest error we concede would be to blame muslims collectively for crimes not committed by muslims alone. >> that was noted islamic

theology expert john kerry. but is he completely in left field? we'll tell you. the hollywood left calling american sniper chris kyle a coward but superman dean cain, a friend of kyle, supports him and he supports our military and he's here, coming to his defense, because mornings are better with "friends." >> this morning our friend peter nucy filling doocy filling in. >> this is better with "friends." as we often say. we begin with a fox news alert. >> breaking this morning, president obama leaves for india, but he's going to cut that trip short so he can also visit saudi arabia. >> that's right no visits of taj mahal, coming after the passing of 90-year-old saudi

king abdullah. >> good morning, molly. >> good morning, ana, tucker and peter. initially it was the vice president who was scheduled to travel to saudi arabia to honor the late saudi king abdullah. this morning the white house said the president himself would make that trip. president owebama left for his scheduled trip to india, he will meet with president narendra modi and the public parade monday which commemorates the day in 1950 that india's constitution went into effect. on tuesday he'll leave india earlier than planned to head to saudi arabia. king abdullah died on friday and was succeeded by his half brother, salmon abdul aziz al saoud. "we adjusted the schedule in coordination with the end nan government so the president would be aible to depart tuesday to stap in riyad to meet king salmon and other saudi officials

and offer his condolences on behalf of the american people." the president had been scheduled to visit the taj mahal tuesday. the white house "regrets" that he now will not be able to do that part of this trip. back to you all in new york. >> thanks, molly, we appreciate it. so yemen has descended into chaos. why does this matter to the united states? there are a couple of reasons but the main one is a lot of counterterrorism operations in the region are based or were based until two days ago in yemen, that's the base from which so many predator drones take off. president obama just several months ago touted yemen as a key ally, u.s. ally in the war on terror but that is no more a small band of islamic of shiite militiamen seized control of the country and apparently of their intelligence service. >> not being able to do the counterterrorism operations is dangerous, not being able to send the drones up and lieutenant kernel tony schaffer was on the program earlier and says not being able to gather intelligence is really bad.

>> with this loss of support, we have lost our ability to conduct counterterrorism operations in yemen. "the washington post" is trying to downplay how bad this is. this is hugely bad. we can't operate there now, despite the investments we've made, and plus the eye rainians have four major countries they have influence in to include yemen. and then when you put that on top of the fact you've got this chaos in saudi arabia as you're mentioning, we have really very few options on how we move forward to go after the bad guys here. >> and he mentioned saudi arabia right next door to yemen. they had a regime change because the king died. now in yemen the president, who was our friend who rose to power during the arab spring, he's gone, and it's bad because where do we go now? what does the u.s. military do if we just lost our areas that we operate in and our friends that we could work with in yemen, when that's where all

these really nasty al qaeda in the arabian peninsula guys go. >> what is the message to other countries in the region? ally yourself with the united states and you get overthrown and the u.s. government does not come to the rescue. the obama government didn't lift a finger to help our allies in yemen and they're in deep trouble and the country has been taken over by anti-american ek extremists. >> and prime minister benjamin netanyahu isn't going to meet with the president because it's too close to their elections supposedly. >> you may look at all of this boy there's a religious war going on sunni, shiites fighting each other in the region, people attacking the united states in the name of god. there is a sliver of islam that has gone bad that's infected by the violence, by the virus of extremism. that's how john kerry looks at it. he was at davos friday and we this to say. >> obviously the biggest error we could make would to be blame

muslims collectively for crimes not committed by muslims alone. crimes that the overwhelming majority of muslims oppose, crimes that their faith utterly rejects, and that muslim leaders themselves have the greatest ability to address. religions don't require adherence to reyesvilleages s to raze villages and blow up people. it's individuals with a distorted and even ignorant interpretation of religion who do that >> what is this guy a theologian all of a snud what does he know? you think two al qaeda members in peshawar planning a terror attack saying we were wrong. john kerry says this is not islamic. what's the point of this? >> i think the minds of human beings are big enough to understand the difference with between peaceful muslims and islamic extremists. when you say islamic extremeist

you're talking about pretty much every terrorist event we've had from ft. hood to the boston bombing to 9/11 to what happened in paris to what happened in australia at the coffee shop. come on. if you ask any war general how do you win a war? you name your enemy so you can defeat your enemy. karl rove explains why the administration won't say these words. >> the only plausible explanation would be the president is arrogantly stubborn and refusing to do this because he understands on some level, maybe not consciously but on some level that would undermine his whole world view that america is to blame that the things that have happened are largely the responsible of us or israeli, that we're at fault, it's not them, it's not the bad guys. >> that was nicely put. >> one quick note about davos that john kerry clip we played talking to the richest people in the world somebody took a picture of the men threw where those events are. hotdog $43. my favorite is one american flew

over on his private plane and proceeded to talk to the group, we really need to consume less. we need to do more with less. our lives are just too ostentatious, says mr. private jet. talk about lack of self-awareness. we switch gears to the winter weather, with the snow in your neighborhood and snow in the northeast now. check out this video from massachusetts. >> it is the first major storm of the year and packing a messy mix of freezing rain and snow with some areas getting eight to ten inches. the incomparable janice dean tracking it all. >> we're in midtown manhattan, getting a wintry mix. little bit of snow and sleet mixed in. it's going to be messy across the northeast for the next several hours. let's look at the maps. the worst of it along the eastern seaboard. the central u.s. looks really good. if you're headed to the airports you want to call ahead, the famous expression "pack your patience" because things are going to be a lull bit trying due to this system this coastal

event. north of new york is where we're getting the snow. the pink on the screen is where you're getting the freezing rain and/ and/or sleet. take a look at your forecast temperatures and radar, mainly rain as we go throughout the day for new york, that's 4:00 p.m. and this system will be out of the way overnight tonight, a nice looking day for sunday although it will be blustery with gusty winds. then we watch this clipper system, a fast-moving storm across the ohio river valley that could bring measurable snow to the northeast on monday. believe it or not we're into adeficit. we have not seen the snow like we typically see this time of year from philadelphia, new york city and boston. but we could get some on monday. we'll see, and of course the winter ain't over just yet. look at the central u.s. my friends. 60 in dallas. look at we head into sunday woo! 67 in dallas, 63 in little rock. that is the place to be and look at miami. 72 in miami. oh miami! back inside, peter, tucker -- >> so warm.

thanks janice. other stories making headlines, breaking right at this hour, four suspected jihadists under arrest in spain. the group accused of forming a terrorist cell and posting a video online urging others to wage jihad. police are now investigating whether they were planning an attack in the country. and another fox news alert 15 people are dead and more than 50 injured. after a series of rocket attacks in ukraine's port city of mariopol. this shows burned out cars and flaming buildings and smoke in the air as people run for cover. ukrainian officials right now linking the attack to pro-russian rebels. the rebels denying any involvement as they reject peace talks. 262 people have been killed in ukraineian fighting in the last nine days. in two hours a suspected terrorist charged with murdering five u.s. soldiers will face a federal judge in new york. farooq khalil muhammad issa is

"american sniper" has taken the united states by storm but some aren't impresseded. when actor and friend of chris kyle dean cain defended the film alec baldwin took to twitter to say this "help me out dean cain, what branch of the service were you in and where did you serve?" >> "be quiet, alec baldwin" would have been the response. did dean cain say that? we'll find out, thank heaven he's here joining us live this morning. dean cain. >> hi, good morning. >> hi, good morning, guys.

>> you take the high road out of all this. how do you respond to alec baldwin? >> well my response to alec baldwin was no response at all. that's ridiculous what he said in that instance really requires no response. so i didn't say anything. i spoke, i said some things to seth rogen and said some things to michael moore but that's it, one tweet for each and alec baldwin, it doesn't require a response. >> dean, why do you think it is that this movie -- there have been other movies made about the war in iraq the war in afghanistan, why do you think this story specifically has people in hollywood on the left so worked up? >> you know i don't know if it people are all on the left in hollywood worked up. i really don't know the answer. i can only speak to what i know and i think people are having a problem with it because chris is considered such an american hero and his job was to kill bad guys and they don't think that's okay. when you talk to guys who have

been covered by sniper fire and understand the dangers that go with that job you know the guy is nothing but a hero. so you know, when people see the ugly grit of war, they just want to try to be above the pail and go we don't condone war of any type. i hate war and i think alec baldwin was alluding to the fact i didn't serve and asked seth rogen to go to war and then talk about it. i've been to war. i've seen what it was like. i was there for a few weeks in may of 2005 in iraq. i wasn't fighting on the front lines. i was in the front lines, i was on operating bases all over the places but war is as ugly as can be. no, i wasn't serving. that was his sort of snipe at me but it was kind of ridiculous. >> so this has been all over the left attacks on the movie. "rolling stone" discredited fan magazine has a guy who works there, a sad little character called matt taibbi. he made this a political

argument, somehow chris kyle's life was political, the movie is political. is this inherently political? >> it makes no sense to me at all. chris kyle was doing his job as a volunteer american army, and then he volunteered to go into the s.e.a.l.s and volunteered to be a sniper the most dangerous job out there, so there's nothing political about this at all. the guy's a hero. i don't know why they would plitt politicize it at all. these men and women who have been over there fighting for our country and freedom for a long time it shows how difficult it is to transition back into civilian lifestyle and so many of them doing that it's an important story. i think that's one of the reasons it's resonating this people. >> you wonder how the left can see chris kyle as bloodthirsty, faced with killing a woman or

child with a bomb or grenade, a suicide attack and kill all sorts of marines serving there and he has to step in and make the tough call. people who were in similar situations like rob o'neill who shot and killed barack obama he said his life was saved by a sniper. listen this. >> i've been on over 400 missions in different theaters of war. snipers did more than just sit there and protect us. they led us in, found the routes, found ieds on the way in. once we started hitting our targets they'd climb up high looked on movement before we got there. it was not uncomment for us to be silent and shots go off. they spotted insurgents trying to ambush us and saved our lives. >> without snipe hers like chris kyle, connect the dots osama bin laden might not be dead right now. >> there you have the man himself explaining how important

the job of a sniper is. certainly not a coward as michael moore tried to characterize him. unbelievably brave. it's ju a ridiculous thing to say. it's why i spoke up. >> dean, we saw some pictures earlier of you standing with chris kyle looked like you guys were out on the range. what do you think chris kyle, the chris kyle that you knew once he got back would think about the overwhelming success of the "american sniper" film? >> well chris was really modest so you know you hear these things about him, oh he's got a little brag-oadoscia. he says i just happened to be in the right place at the right time. i think he'd be embarrassed about the accolades about all the discussions. i think he would just rather go out and go deer hunting or something like that than be in the middle of all this media hype, because he was a really

modest guy. but i think it really speaks to the way the rest of america feels that the film is doing so well, and i'm really i'm really happy for teya and clint and the film and bradley did a great job. so i'm really happy to see that americans have turned out to support this film. >> we're happy to have you this morning. dean cain, our old friend, thanks for joining us. >> thank you sir. coming up do you spend money and not tell your spouse? the number of couples committing financial infidelity, staggering. are you one of them? we'll break it down next. ♪ it's not about the money, money ♪ ♪ we don't need your money, money ♪ ♪ we just want to make the world shake ♪ ♪ forget about the days ♪

secret account or credit card that your spouse doesn't know about? >> well, we hit the streets to find out. >> no i don't think you should have secret accounts. we have a joint account but i have my own account. >> i think it's wrong to have a secret account. >> absolutely not. >> absolutely not. totally agree. >> i don't think it's right. we'd have no secret accounts. the ohm thing is linda controls the money in our house so there was no reason for us to of a secret account. >> apparently in the minority. >> a survey revealing over 7 million americans are guilty of being less than honest about money in their marriage. here to discuss is fox news contributor and financial editor heatha herzog. >> isn't this crazy? thanks for having me back. i love the socks they're so funny. >> start with the financial, hiding money. how do you know somebody doesn't want to have a stash to keep surprising their partner? that would be nice right? >> exactly. of course the guys are saying this. so really this thing is called

financial infidelity, right? there's a term for this. as you point out, 7.7 million people are doing this but mostly, not to throw the guys unthe bus but mostly the guys committing this, 4.4 million guys surveyed are committing financial indifelt versus women, around 2.2. >> why is that? the men are making the money and say i don't want to you blow this on handbags and nice shoes? >> exactly. it doesn't matter. some women buy shoes and some men buy stereos. stereos is better because it's my money but i think that's the thick thing. they don't want to hear someone telling them how their money, what to do with the money and where to put that money. >> sometimes it's a protective thing. what if we get a divorce? so many get divorced these days. >> i put this up on facebook and reading some of the responses. someone was weighing in saying some of his friends were putting their bonuses in two separate accounts so if it ever came down

to divorce they would see on the books they'd have less income. so there's a lot of it goes to varying degrees of financial infidelity, not advocating for any of that but you could see the examples there. >> we heard some sound before, we also went out and asked people if they were comfortable spending without telling their spouse. listen to this. >> before we spend we always talk to each other. >> agree. >> on the amount to spend. >> in march she went and spent quite a bit of money on the purse that i didn't know anything about until after the fact. >> no more than $400. >> $400, 500 bucks. >> she's aware of what i'm spending. >> up to 400, 500 bucks something i really wanted and i'd go home and tell linda. >> and i'd say good. >> so the money doesn't become a point of contention is, your advice? >> people sort of nailed it. you have to talk. couples that talk together share

together. to have the financial conversation discuss what your goals are and what you want to do with that money. also, you need to be on the same financial page it comes with talking. if you're not going to be listen the same financial page that's when you start having this mistrust and you know, financial infidelity that goes on here. >> is there a best way to do it, like having a certain amount that each spouse gets to splurge on or should you have separate accounts and one account that goes toward the bills? >> right. >> what's your advice on that? >> i tell people have one account that you have the overhead costs where you take both overhead costs out the mortgage payments, the electric bills, and then you have your two separate accounts. but again, you need to talk about the splurge account. you always have to have a splurge account, have that as another secondary together account, where you take money out of that and make purchases. but again always make sure you're on the same page in terms of what you want to spend.

and any relationship, trust is the basis of that, and it has to do with money and spending as well. >> everything's online. everybody that we asked said they shared their passwords bank passwords with their spouse. >> i wouldn't go that far. i'm not sure i'd share my password with my husband. we trust each other but it's up to you. >> hitha, thank you. coming up on the program the food police are at it again. second grader sent home with this letter because her lunch wasn't healthy enough but her doctor dad you heard it right says he knows best and refused to sign. the father and daughter join us live. do you remember your first kiss, because this kid sure does. >> just goes kablooey. i had a funny feeling. it was so great. >> this morning he's gone viral and he's sharing his story next. ♪ i ain't the worst that you've seen, oh can't you see what i mean ♪ ♪ i might as well jump ♪

editor scott steepleton, who is not backing down. >> we actually used an appropriate term for people who are here in this country illegally by calling them illegals. we don't believe in ka pill latecapitulating to people telling us how to run our newspaper. we don't ask people what we should write beforehand and we're not going to ask people what we should write beforehand going forward. >> some community groups are calling for an advertising boycott. did your first kiss go a little something like this? >> this is amazing. i got my first kiss today, and it's just so mind-blowing that i can't just feel it, ugh! >> 7-year-old griffin carpenter becoming a viral sensation with that reaction. we spoke to him earlier about the big moment. >> so i was on the hunt center van, and we were talking about something, and she leaned over

and kissed me and i was like, why did she do that? >> she was the one who leaned in. the little girl didn't have the same reaction. she was embarrassed when her parents found out? you think, because it's gone viral, everybody found out. >> but she put the moves on him, all right. there's no safe place in your own house. that's the assumption most of us have, is it true? >> no, your house could make you sick increased risk of asthma, heart disease and lung cancer. >> here to explain how with a room-by-room guide is dr. raj attending physician and assistant professor of medicine at ny school of medicine. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> let's start with the bathroom. >> we assume our home is safe but there are hidden dangers. mold is the big culprit in the bathroom. mold loves a warm, damp environment. the bathroom is the perfect place for that, and you want to

look for not only the obvious mold which you might see in your shower or in some of the cracks in the bathroom fixtures but you also want to look for that smell and the best way to combat it to first of all prevent it, adequate ventilation using the exhaust fan in the bathroom. if you don't have one you should install one. certainly in the shower, don't leave things like shampoo bottles in your shower, that's a great place for mold to stick onto. it can cause allergies asthma and respiratory symptoms. >> what do we have to worry about with carpet and furniture? >> in the living room, carpets and furniture, carpets are a great place for dust mites and an animal danner can and volatile organic compounds linked to cancer actually. so the living room is one place where there's many chemicals in the area you need to be careful of. one of the great ways to ghatcombat that is a using a hire-efficiency air filter.

go for the healthy living filter and make sure you check it. check it once a month, replace it actually every three months. >> so the laundry room sounds kind of benign. >> it's probably one of the worst. they tend to be small, not a lot of ventilation there and those scented detergents and the drying sheets, those also can emit these vocs, the compounds we don't like. >> they're delicious though. >> they smell good. anything that smells like that is probably not good. go for unscented or organic. >> in the kitchen the gas stove? >> it can release formaldehyde and the cleaning products in your kitchen can release dangerous chemicals. overall in your home ventilation is the dee combating a lot of this. if you think you have a mold or ventilation problem call in an expert. >> so fresh air really is the an die dote to a lot of these problems. >> it really is. we face a lot more indoor pollution than the outdoor pollution so think about what's going on in your home. you're spending sometimes 90% of your time there. >> i am going to immediately

vacuum and bleach. >> open a window in terms of your grandmother was right. glad to hear that. >> refreshing. get rid of the karptszcarpets as much as you can. >> dr. raj, thank you very much. >> thank you. new development ngs the race for 2016. it looks like mark yoo rubio will be running and mitt romney and jeb bush getting together for a private meeting. plus a second grader sent home with this letter because her lunch wasn't healthy enough but her dad, who is a doctor says he knows best, not the dool skool and refused to sign. father and daughter join us live.

well we're just about three and a half weeks 2015 and already some republicans are looking ahead to 2016 and some

of them are making big moves or appearing to. congressional reporter for "realclear.com, to help make sense of what's going to happen. great to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> a lot of the socially conservative republican candidates or potential candidates are gathering in iowa. the candidates who i think have the most intense following on the right tea party type candidates. do you think this is the year when one of those people, the real conservatives in the republican party might have a shot to get a nomination? >> i think there's certainly an opening when you have jeb bush and mitt romney even chris christie, kind of fighting for the same establishment lane. i think that opens the window to a conservative candidate or libertarian or for some of those candidates like scott walker and marco rubio to kind of find that way in between, kind of gathering support from all those different groups so i think there's definitely an opening for a different kind of candidate. >> so marco rubio the presumption for years is he's going to run in '16 and hearing people say i don't think so, jeb

bush, they're personally close, they're friends, their politics are too close. then we see this. anybody but charles krauthammer i'd ignore it but i never ignore him. here's his view. watch this. >> if i gave you $100, sent you to las vegas to bet on the candidate most likely to be the republican nominee, how would you allocate your funds? >> your chips? >> your chips, yes. >> 40 on rubio. 30 on bush 15 on scott walker, and i'd blow the rest on booze. i think if he ones against hillary, the contrast, say the vigor, the energy that ken de-esque idea will be a major one. >> huh, that's interesting. you think it's a, plausible, that he is in fact running, and b, that he's got a shot? >> i think it's possible he's running. he's making all the right moves. he has a book out aptly titled "american dreams" he's going to

swing states early to plug the book. he's had a pack for a long time, he has a political team in place, hiring people traveling around the country raising money and making the right moves and positioning himself in interviews as a kind of the 21st century candidate, the fresh face among a big group of people that includes some old names bush, clinton, romney even. so i think he has a shot. i do think, though, his achilles heel, if i can add is that he's a first-term senator and republicans', one of republicans' biggest complaints about this current president -- >> sure. >> -- is that he was inspooernsed wheninspooerns ed inexperienced when he came into office. >> so really quickly jeb bush, mitt romney meeting this week. what in the world could that be about? >> to be a fly on that wall in that meeting. it's usual for someone running to meet with the former nominee but when romney announced that

he's thinking about running that kind of changes the whole game. bush has said yesterday apparently that they talked about sports. they talked about the patriots, of all things and some other things. they avoided the, you know, awkward topic of running for president but this is two people who are competing for the same donors, the same topics the same people and talent, meeting in a room face-to-face, that's a big deal in this race. >> according to staffers i talked to, there's not a lot of affection between them. >> interesting. >> get us a reporting of the meeting. caitlin, great to see you. >> good to see you, thanks. next up the food police coming for your children's lunch. one second grader sent home with a letter because hers wasn't "healthy enough." her father is a doctor an expert in nutrition and says he does know best. both joins us live, next. there's a new way to buy a car. just find the one you're looking for

police. has a couple of chocolate bars and all of a sudden, mom and dad are getting notes from the school telling them to pack a proper lunch. >> it just happened to our next guest and his response has gone viral. dr. justin puckett is a board certified physician and he joins us with his daughter from st. louis. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. thank you. >> tell us what you packed in the lunch and what kind of note you got at home. we've got an example. what are we going to find inside? >> want to tell them? >> i packed four pieces of yams -- a cheese stick and four marshmallows in a zip lock bag and one chocolate bar. >> it sounds good and the pickle is the overwhelming smell. is that about what you would normally eat for lunch? >> probably, yeah.

>> you seem to be a very healthy young girl. so doctor, what were you thinking when the school sent you this note? it said dr. and a mrs. puckett, the cafeteria reported to me that ali's lunch bag included -- please see you pack a proper lunch tomorrow and then you wrote request declined. >> well, yeah, when ever i got the letter, she packs her own lunch and we look into that and oversee that but her mom did that on the day in question and so, the first thing i did was said, hey, what was in your lunch? did you trade anything? and she said, no, i asked her if she had crackers and she said no. and so, from there, the letter was written a little strongly and i have a great relationship with the school and the real issue to me isn't the letter. it's just a more of the

overarching theme that sometimes, we as parents feel like we don't, that other people are trying to intrude into the way we parent our children and so the school district has made the appropriate apology. this was an isolated letter that a substitute teacher made a poor judgment call on. we don't have any grudge towards the school but certainly, it does point to a much overarching issue in my mind. >> and you say some issues too, with misconceptions about michelle obama's plans to revamp school efforts to make them healthier. you think teachers and some educators are taking it upon themselves to be too overbearing? >> well, yeah, and the guidelines, the healthy hunger free children's act that michelle obama championed paints with one big brush. as someone who spends a lot of

time talking about nutrition to parents, the high school athlete who's spending four hours training a day requires a different caloric need than someone who's very sed tear. to point those food guidelines with a big brush isn't my recommendation. >> thank you so much for your time today. >> thank you. >> and we're going to enjoy your lunch. >> let's eat. more fox and friends, next.

we are one week from the big game. >> you're not going to watch the super bowl without watching us first. our thanks to peter because he did such a great job. >> thanks for having me. >> come back anytime. >> thanks, see you tomorrow. >> bye.
