high security risk of obtaining security information. the apps in question have been notified. >> i didn't know there were 41 dating apps. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> have a great day much good morning to you. it is wednesday, february 11. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brian williams takes the fall. the face of "nbc nightly news" pulled off the air for six months. is this the end or just a move to save his job? >> the white house doubles down on the president's claim that the terror attack on that kosher super market in paris was just random. >> the individuals who were killed in that terrible tragic incident were killed not because of who they were. >> but wait until you hear how they backtrack when they realize the whole world knows they're spinning. >> on a different note, it was personal information i didn't want out there. >> brian i heard you were
3:01 am
super sick? how are you feeling? i heard your wife was mad you missed a big dinner with a friend. >> how to keep your secrets secret from your co-workers. mornings are better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> welcome aboard, folks. brian, welcome back after a couple of days off. >> good to be bad. i cannot believe what is going on in the news. i thought there were errors last week with the president using the word crusade and last night two things in television. >> that's right. if you're a fake newsman, real good chance you're out of work. two fake news men. >> we are glad you are here. we're going to start with this fox news alert for you. nbc defending brian williams for embell lirk -- he will bell lishing his
3:02 am
stories from the field. williams yanked off the air and without pay. >> nbc's top news man surrounded in controversy for the past week now and now the hammer has dropped. the nightly news anchor suspended for six months without pay after falsely claiming for years that he was on a helicopter shot down by enemy fire during the iraq invasion. williams has been embellishing this story since 2003 making it seem more and more perilous with every telling. and he wasn't caught in a lie until a few weeks ago. >> the story actually started with a terrible moment, a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq. when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an r.p.g. >> iraq war vets calling foul on that story and forcing him to apologize. >> i want to apologize. i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by r.p.g. fire. i was instead in a following aircraft. we all landed after the
3:03 am
ground fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sandstorm in the iraq desert. this was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension our brave military men and women. >> nbc's top brass announcing williams' suspension. news division head debra turner saying this, brian misrepresented events which occurred while covering the iraq war. this was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in brian's position. while some see the suspension as a way to push williams off the air for good fox's howard kurtz says nbc hopes to have him back one day. >> as strange as it sounds for nbc to be suspending its star without pay and to use words like inexcusable and breach of trust, this is an attempt to save brian williams' job. >> nbc news says that lester holt will continue to fill in for brian
3:04 am
williams least for now. >> so what happens in six months? he comes back after lester holt who is solid, does a great job? after six months in exile. don't know how that's going to work. >> do you think everyone deserves a second chance? but i think trust is hard to get back. >> i think they'll investigate a bunch of things. if they find more i think that will determine if he comes back in six months. and if the ratings don't move with lester holt, it is hard to imagine brian williams coming back. >> there is a story that when nbc wanted to move jay leno that man wanted to get the job. good news for him jon stewart is leaving the daily show in about six months, so maybe he can slide right in there. >> later we'll get to that.
3:05 am
he shocked everybody, i think, yesterday. that did not even leak out prior to him telling everyone that's it. >> meanwhile, five minutes after the top of the hour. another fox news alert. breaking overnight, security concerns in yemen forcing the state department to close the u.s. embassy there. officials say yemen is not safe for americans. >> reporter: closing the u.s. embassy in yemen is a major blow to president obama's foreign policy world view. this was him in september of last year. >> 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. >> now the state department says yemen's capital is simply too dangerous to operate in. the french and british agree, pulling out their personnel now that an iranian backed militia toppled the government. it comes during a week of awful news for the administration in the fight
3:06 am
against isis. remember isis still hasn't presented evidence to back their claims kayla mueller died on their mission but the u.s. makes clear they are holding isis responsible regardless. we learn more about kayla's life in captivity. one report says intelligence officials often spotted her in the same location as a high-level isis command leading one person to suggest she was in some type of terrible forced marriage. this comes as the president finally decides to seek congressional authorization for the use of force against isis for the splitting of hairs continues on language. the latest iteration includes a three-year sunset clause and the prohibition of enduring ground forces. back to you guys. >> thank you. >> talk about language, yesterday we told you the story about president obama's interview with vox. he down played the attacks in paris saying it is a bunch of folks who randomly shot at some deli. >> randomly.
3:07 am
>> it was all random. they weren't going after anybody specific. how about this? his administration spokesperson actually got out there and doubled down on the double down of the double down. we're just going to diminish the effect of what happened here. and this is their defense. watch. >> the adverb that the president chose was used to indicate that the individuals who were killed in that terrible, tragic insurance accident were killed not because of who they were but because of who they randomly happened to be. >> they weren't killed because they were in a jewish deli? >> these individuals were not targeted by name. >> not by name but by religion, were they not? >> there were people other than just jews who were in that deli. >> that de li was a kosher deli. >> i believe firm the victims specifically -- i believe if i remember the victims specifically they were not all of one background or one
3:08 am
nationality. >> the administration believes this is an anti-jewish attack? >> i don't think we're going to speak on behalf of french authorities. >> she was wrong. she said there were people of other background. all people killed at the super market were jewish. we all know the gunmen, the terrorists islamic terrorists called a french television station and said he was attacking that store because it was a kosher deli. >> the world knows it wasn't random. those people were targeted. and the white house looked embarrassed for coming up with that. >> when you're embarrassed what do you do? the age-old thing. go to twitter and apologize for saying the wrong thing over and over again and making the people who question you seem outrageous in their assumptions. welcome to the land of unforced errors. for example, josh earnest came out after the briefing of ed henry and said our view has not changed. terror attacks in paris' kosher market was motivated
3:09 am
by antisemitism. the president didn't intend to suggest otherwise. that would have been fine to say and you wouldn't have had the 20 minutes of sparring. >> the state department decided to get on twitter and say we have always been clear the attack on the kosher grocery store was an attack that took the lives of innocent people. >> yesterday on this show we were talking about how outrageous it was that the president said it was random because it clearly wasn't random. then the white house put together their talking points distributed them throughout the administration. everybody stuck to them until there was such push-back from the mainstream media, it was like we can hear you, you're making that stuff up. they should just call them spokes tweeters because you wind up getting the real truth from the tweets after they talk. >> it shows there is no system. there is nobody getting to the president saying you've got to walk back that statement where you said random. instead they try to explain it all tuesday and then they have to backtrack
3:10 am
later on tuesday. there is nobody in the white house to tell the president go with my instincts, not yours. >> it's how the president feels. >> yeah. >> it was a random thing. >> doesn't seem like anyone -- >> he's being so careful not to say islamic terrorists. >> it doesn't exist. if you don't name it, there is no failure. >> andy card or leon panetta with clinton would have stopped this and would not have let things go wild all day. >> it was a mess but they tried to fix it. will it continue? in the meantime, what happened overnight? >> a lot of things happened overnight. in san diego, new overnight, a man that police believed gunned down a popular sports anchor is in custody. san diego's kyle kraska was shot at least twice while he was backing out of his own driveway. police say that this man mike montana opened fire and then escaped. there was a standoff with a swat team and then he surrendered at his home.
3:11 am
you can see it right there. no word on his motive. that sportscaster kraska is recovering. >> we are hours away from the opening statement in the murder trial of american sniper chris kyle. we know the first to testify against his accused killer eddie ray routh will be kyle's widow. routh faces life in prison without parole. routh's lawyers claiming he suffered from ptsd when he pulled that trigger but some vets disputing that saying he never saw combat or anything disturbing. another media shakeup to tell you about this morning. jon stewart stepping down as the face of the daily show on comedy central. >> 17 years is the longest i have ever in my life held a job. in my heart i know it is
3:12 am
time for someone else to have that opportunity. >> stewart says he'll stay on until later this year. the timing is causing some to speculate that he could replace brian williams at nbc news. nbc reportedly considered stewart as a potential host for "meet the press" awhile back. what do you think of that? >> all you need is $2 and a dream. tonight's powerball jackpot is $485 million, the fifth-largest prize in u.s. history. the pot was supposed to be $450 million but so many people ended up buying the tickets so it upped the ante. the chances of winning about 1 in 175 million. >> i'm still going to play it. >> why not? >> i'm antilottery antipowerball. i don't care about the totals. >> it's $1. >> i don't care. >> i'm so tired of the powerball stories and billionaires going around the world in their balloons. those are the two things i'm against. >> sing it, brian.

now this coming up. bibles banned at schools because of a statement handed out by satanic groups. where it's happening. >> they're here illegally but now undocumented aliens get a government hot line to call and complain about it. a former border patrol chief calls this a slap in the face. here to react live next. ♪ the girls and i need... a new activity.

3:17 am
glad you're up. here's what we're talking about. they're here illegally. now undocumented immigrants will have a taxpayer-funded hot line to call and complain about it. in a memo d.h.s. says, quote, if you believe you or a family member were apprehended and processed by a customs and border protection officer or border patrol agent contrary to the new d.h.s. enforcement priorities please tell us about your experience. some consider the hot line a slap in the face to border agents. here to weigh in is a former national deputy chief of the u.s. border patrol. is this a slap in the face ron? >> yes, it is, brian. it's a slap in the face. a couple of phrases that come to my mind immediately when i read "the washington times" article. one is the demonizing of america's law enforcement. and the other is cheap parlor trick. if you'll allow me to
3:18 am
explain i'll start with the cheap parlor trick. this is really a weak attempt by this administration and the white house to redirect the american public's attention away from his tacit amnesty program and then villainize law enforcement, which has been going on since the beginning of this administration, sadly. it's a slap in the face to the border patrol agents as well as i.c.e. agents and c.i.s. employees that will be dealing with the amnesty program because there are already 800 numbers out there to make allegations. this one is for people that feel like they may not have been considered fairly for amnesty. in other words, criminals being allowed to call in and talk about their feelings. >> so what kind of message is that? it's almost like putting a bumper sticker on your car
3:19 am
that a driver might have that says how am i driving and there is a phone number underneath. you men and women are already risking your lives doing a very dangerous job. so this is pretty much an implied slap in the face. i can understand how you feel that. when you talk to other border patrol personnel, do they feel the same way as you? >> absolutely. everyone that i spoke to before coming on has said that they see this as just salt in a wound with the underresourcing they have experienced over the last several years and knowing they are already under third-party review by numerous different agencies such as the f.b.i., office of professional responsibility, office of internal audit the government accountability office and the inspector general. to have one more toll-free number inviting criminals to complain. >> your job is hard already but between the dream act which put a gray area on

the u.s. you and others hold a strict nonrecognition policy and a soldier here you see locked up for leaking national security secrets to wikileaks and now goes by the name chelsea manning has a new job. he will write for the guardian american website. manning began transitioning to a woman while in custody last year. i'm going to transition over to steve. >> thank you very much. that man right there, nbc anchor brian williams, has been suspended for six months without pay for recounting stories that just were not true. he made them up. at the same time hillary rodham clinton manages to get away with embellishing the truth. >> i remember landing under sniper fire. there was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead we ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. >> you know what? that actually never happened. and instead of sniper fire look right here.
3:26 am
hillary was greeted with a palm from an eight-year-old girl and later named secretary of state in the obama administration. she backtracked but does she get a free pass? here to weigh in is radio talk show host adrianna cohen. good morning. >> good to be with you. >> we look at how brian williams is having his feet held to the fire, and yet when you look back in 2008 when hillary clinton said the plane had to do a corkscrew landing and we were under sniper fire and all that other stuff that was made up, there's a dinner standard here, isn't there? -- there's a different starred here? >> there is and there shouldn't be. hillary clinton should be held accountable for that major lie. when she became straighter straighter -- when she became secretary of state that is an enormously important position. if she can lie about that sniper fire certainly she can lie about benghazi. we know hillary clinton
3:27 am
lied about what happened in benghazi. there was a massive coverup up. americans need to keep politicians and journalists accountable. >> after she was called on it initially she doubled down and she said i did stop to get the flowers from the girl. you saw me greeting her because how could i walk past her and break her little har but then i ran to the car. then the video came out and it showed she did not run to the car. she and chelsea sauntered over and continued with their day. should there be a different standard for the people who give us the news and people who make our policy? >> absolutely. think about it. hillary clinton, when you're a politician or secretary of state or the president you're making life and death decisions. take someone like brian williams, he has an important position but he's not implementing policy. he doesn't get the 3 a.m. phone call to dispatch military to benghazi when our ambassador is about to be killed. these are super important
3:28 am
positions and all the more reason why i believe hillary clinton disqualified herself from public office when she lied about that imaginary sniper fire. the american people need to ask themselves is this who you want to be your commander in chief? if she can lie about that, she can lie about what happened in benghazi what other lies is she going to tell us if she has the top job? >> why was she given a pass? she clearly lied and she was not held accountable back in 2008. >> i agree. i think it's a form of corruption to be honest. the left-wing media should have held her accountable. she should have been fired. she should be banished from public office because trust is broken. when there is a breach in trust she loses credibility and we can no longer trust her to lead us. there's life and death decisions that these politicians make. any way, she should not have been given a pass and i can say i'm glad brian williams is gone because what he did was unacceptable as well. >> i've got a feeling this story is going to resurrect itself once she does
3:29 am

got news to bring you. "newsweek"'s twitter account has been hacked by a cyber caliphate. the group taking control for 14 minutes claiming an association with isis and sending out at least three tweets, one against the first family. it was addressed to first lady michelle obama. another tweet claimed to show confidential pentagon documents, some of which contain what may be private defense department ntion. officials believe this is the same group that hacked cent com's account a few weeks ago. despite that president obama says climate change is a bigger threat to the world than terrorism and his press secretary forced to defend that statement yesterday. listen. >> the president is saying, he seems to be implying here that the threat of climate change is greater than the threat of terrorism. >> i think the point the president is making is that there are many more people on an annual basis who have to confront the impact, the direct impact on their
3:35 am
lives of climate change or on the spread of the disease than on terrorism. >> the answer is yes the president thinks climate change is a greater threat than terrorism? >> that more people are directly affected by those things than by terrorism. >> climate change is more of a clear and present danger to the united states? >> i think even the department of defense has spoken of the significant threat climate change posed to our national security interests. >> monday the president said the media overhypes the threat of terrorism. bible banned at schools because they are the same as handouts from satanic groups? that is a decision, the bizarre decision from schools in orange county florida. the school board making this controversial decision after a satanic group wanted to hand out coloring books to students help johnny draw a penta gram. the board reconsidered its

3:38 am
get a lot colder. look at highs for tomorrow. single digits across parts of the great lakes. that cold air moves eastward into parts of the northeast as we head into friday. even colder air moves in this weekend just in time for valentine's day. look at some of these numbers. actual temperatures forecast. in new york city monday morning it could be just 1 degree. it could be 11 degrees below zero in the city of syracuse. >> maria, thank you very much. >> two teens suspended when players and parents brawl on the court. one of the managers says the biggest problem facing kids right now on the teams are the parent. >> former major league baseball catcher mike mcafeeney was asked to coach the little league team he wrote ground rules. >> he wrote the biggest role of the parents is to be a silent source of
3:39 am
encouragement. if you asked most boys what they would want their parents to do during the game, they would say nothing. now he is sharing his little league story in a book called the matheny manifesto. you say go to the games but just shut up? >> that's pretty blunt, but what we're trying to do is ask these kids what do you want your parents to do? we interview kids from the highest level all the way down, they need for it to be about them. if you're going to develop a passion for it it better be their agenda, not some adult, whether it be a cope or parent. >> the parent screams out loud because they want to be supportive. hey go, billy! hit that ball! >> that is where it comes down to what's the right thing. they believe that's the way they're showing affection for the kids but you ask the kids what they want and it's the opposite. there's so much pressure already. all these sports are so difficult and then you add this person that you care more about than anybody in the world and they're screaming at the top of

3:41 am
the opposite. we saw parents running up to the screen and screaming for a kid to get his elbow up and the other guy a dad telling him to get his elbow down. in the meantime these kids are saying i think i've got a better option out there. i can go home and play video games. i think we're missing the opportunity to develop character. >> do you think we're doing it wrong by televising the little league world series and making these kids mini stars? >> i think it is a great goal and i don't want to get in the way and tell a kid -- get in the way of them reaching those goals. but i think when it becomes about the parents when it comes about the team and trophies, i think we're missing the mark or not taking advantage of developing character in these kids. >> how do you do that? how do you help a little kid develop character? >> that's a great question. i think everybody says they would as a coach but are you doing anything proactively to do it. you've got to put together
3:42 am
a character list. why not ask the parents what kind of character traits do you want developed in your kids and list those out. >> at that first day of practice? >> absolutely. take time out of your practice to go through that. bring parents in, have them teach about honesty, hard work and failure because that is going to happen in life and things we know will translate into whatever life they go into. >> a great story. check it out in the matheny manifesto. >> mike, thanks. >> meanwhile we've got a fox news alert 18 minutes before the top of the hour. in a couple of hours the trial for the man accused of killing the american sniper gets underway. what can we expect on the witness stand? we are live there with the latest. >> she's an award-winning star but this morning can you recognize this hollywood a-lister? ♪

across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss
3:44 am
but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal.
3:45 am
stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

important as well. you always want to make sure you kind of keep your personal life at home, watch this. >> brian i heard you were super sick this weekend, i heard your wife was totally mad you missed this dinner with her friends. >> how'd you know that? >> elisabeth told me, we've gotten really close you didn't know that? >> how great was i in that? >> you were fabulous. fabulous, brian. >> oscar-winning. >> again you're in a clique and gossiping, elisabeth. >> breaking the rules. don't let your personal life creep into the office. now you probably know too much about each other. here's another thing it's okay to have friends at work but don't take advantage. >> don't off show to do? >> i do, but they're my friends they won't mind handling it, i'm sure. >> oh. >> they won't mind.

visit a branch, call or go online today. good morning, today is wednesday, february 11th, i'm elisabeth hasselbeck, fox news alert. nbc drops the hammer on brian williams. why is he paying the price when hillary clinton got a pass for this whopper? >> i remember landing under sniper fire. there was supposed to be some dined of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instd we just ran with our heads down. >> is there a double standard? and the white house triples down on calling the terrorist attack in paris, random. >> the individuals who were killed in that terrible tragic incident were killed not because of who they were -- >> they were not all victims of one background or one nationality. >> right? this morning, the backtracking
4:01 am
has begun via twitter i'll read them out loud. no gun-zone. now one town wants criminals to be warned, this is not a gun-free zone. we're going to tell you where that is and so much more, we have two more hours starting right now, you're watching "fox & friends" live from new york city. you're watching flexion"fox & friends," the number one morning cable news show in america. thank you, we are reporting for duty on this wednesday morning. >> so is he. >> going to talked about browned letter that went out calling the rotc a training camp for criminals. essentially. >> i think he might have a problem with that. >> a little one. fox news alert nbc is suspending brian williams for embellishing his stories from the field. >> williams yanked from the air effective immediately and without pay. >> ainsly joins us with the latest details.
4:02 am
>> nbc top news man surrounded in controversy for the past week, and now the hammer has dropped. the nightly news anchor suspended for six months without pay after falsely claiming for years he was on a helicopter shot down during the iraq invasion invasion. he's been embellishing it since 2003. he wasn't caught in a lie until a few weeks ago. >> the story actually started with a terrible moment, a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq. when the helicopter was forced down after being hit by an rpg. >> then iraq war veterans calling foul on his story and forcing him to come clean on air. >> i want to apologize, i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire i was instead in a following aircraft. we all landed after the ground fire incident and spend two heroing nights in a sand storm in the iraq desert.
4:03 am
this was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension, our brave military men and women. >> nbc's top brass announcing williams's suspension debora turness saying this brian's misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the iraq war. this was wrong and inappropriate. while some say this is a way to push williams off the air for good howard kurtz thinks that nbc hopes to have him back one day. >> and strange as it sounds for nbc to be suspending it's star the core of its franchise for six months without pay and using words like inexcusable and breach of trust. this is an attempt to save brian williams's job. >> nbc news says that lester holt will continue to fill in for brian williams, at least for now. back to you guys. >> all right. thank you very much. >> thanks. there could be more trouble for brian williams, in addition to that, they're apparently looking into a dossier of
4:04 am
distortions over the last week or so, we've heard about, you know in one report he said he was staring down the barrel of an rpg. supposedly he saw dead bodies floating by in the french quarter there in new orleans during katrina. read a story yesterday that he told people that in the bin laden raid, you know that helicopter that we had to explode because it went down and was no longer usable, couldn't be flown back. he told people he had a piece of it. nbc is looking into all of those stories to see if they are accurate as well. >> i think if there was just that story i think he'd still be at his job. if he wrote it down, he'd still be at his job. i think he was self- -- giving himself a couple days off and coming up with his own apology led to the suspension. >> he was surprised by it seemed to be a fine journalist and man. seems as though he'd have a hard
4:05 am
time coming back. >> well brian williams is a person who sits on television for 22 minutes, and reads the news. he just -- he's a journalist. >> managing editor too. >> suspended, currently. but then you look -- and so he told a whopper maybe a bunch of whopper. there seems to be a double standard though. hillary clinton who is running for president told a story a couple of times about a heroing trip to bosnia that was also just a complete fabrication. here's that flashback to that. >> i remember landing under sniper fire. there was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. >> that was a complete lie. she later said she misremembered, you know, didn't quite remember how it was. and then even though she doubled down, she said yeah, i stopped to talk to that girl because
4:06 am
there was video there. i couldn't just run by her, but then we ran to the car. that was a lie as well. we had a columnist for the boston harold on a while ago, she said the problem is she needed to be held responsible and she wasn't. >> i think it's a form of corruption to be honest. the left wing media should have held her accountable, she should have been fired. she should be banished from public office because trust is broken. and when there's a breach in trust, she loses credibility and we can no longer trust her to lead us. like i said there's life and death decisions that the politicians make. >> two leg sis of this, number one, i don't think people really forgot that i think people are going to be have their antenna up for authenticity when it comes to brian williams and hillary clinton. i think if she started expanding her role in the clinton years when she was first lady, if she says this is what i did when i was secretary of state or what i accomplished when i was new york
4:07 am
senator. people will be especially focussed on authenticity. >> especially benghazi. >> that's right. all you have to do if she is the nominee, you just start playing the, the fables back to back. where she talks about the landing under fire the snipers and then what difference does it make? not good. >> what do you think about that let us know, e-mail, twitter facebook, we'll read them. >> let's throw it over to heather as if we're glad she's here. >> thank you. glad you're here. >> authentically am glad you're here. >> i'll double down on that. good morning guys, great to see you. another fox news alert. breaking overnight, security concerns in yemen forcing the state department to close the uts embassy there. the embassy has been operating with a reduced staff since january. the workers there are now being evacuated. officials say that yemen simply isn't safe for americans since last month's takeover by iranian-backed rebels. the british and frempbl

4:10 am
january. and then published yesterday where he talked about what happened in paris. and rather than talking about how they were islamic terrorists, he called them zealots who shoot folks in a deli in paris. and the randomly part, you know that had everybody going. it wasn't random. the guy that did the shooting explained when he called in in flans that he targeted them because they were jewish. >> all four victims were in fact jewish. >> so monday the president says this, you have plenty of time, the people that brought you, mr. president stay home and watch football and don't go to paris brought you this defense of the president's message the next day. they try to make sense of the president's mistake, listen. >> the adverb that the president chose was used to indicate that the individuals who were killed in that terrible tragic incident were killed not because of who they were, but because of where they randomly happened to be.
4:11 am
>> they weren't killed because they were in a jewish deli, kosher deli? >> these individuals were not targeted by name. >> not by name but by religion were they not? >> there were people other than just jews who were in that deli. >> that deli was a kosher deli. >> no, john -- >> no. >> i believe if i remember this victim specifically they were not all victims of one background or one nationality. >> how does the administration believe this was an anti-jewish, or an attack on jewish community in paris. >> i don't think we're going to speak on behalf of french authorities. >> that's just embarrassing. >> not targeted specifically because of religion, twice denied there. >> adverb views. >> and dangling preposition. then they went to twitter josh ernest terror attack at paris kosher market was driven by anti-semitism. >>sapsaki said this they
4:12 am
took the lives of innocent people. it's unbelievable the unforced error this administration wasted a whole day on yesterday. >> mark summed it up this way. >> they are so uncomfortable with the language of war that they think if they don't talk about it in terms of war, the war will go away. you know, this is not what barack obama was elected to do. he wanted to change health care, he wanted to be the secretary of hhs, and so he doesn't, this is all a distraction to him. they think if we just turn the page, then the war will go away. if we don't call it an antisemitic attack it'll go away. they want to destroy us. >> we wanted to be the anti-war president, we're back in iraq, and the world is blowing up and the russia resets flat out disaster. president bush wanted to be an education president to reestablish education with mexico. that didn't happen. he called an audible.
4:13 am
>> he established his own verbal mindfield. it's not going to be easy. the words you can't said. >> now he knows where why he's married to his teleprompter. >> now they look back. meanwhile, coming up he fell from grace over sex scandals, but now dominic strausz kan said he only did it to save the world. we'll have his crazy spin coming up. >> that's right. and scott walker chris christie are pretty similar on the political spectrum. why is one surging over the other in early presidential polls? they offer their picks next. can this decadent, fruit topped pastry... ...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. fiber one streusel.

the future would be the present. every someday needs a plan. talk with us about your retirement today. wisconsin governor scott walker becoming the first white house hopeful in the republican side to open an office in iowa where he is emerged as the leading republican candidate in the latest des moines register newspaper poll. walker has 15% and at 4%, chris christie didn't even make the top five. and if so does his success spell doom for new jersey governor chris christie? let's talk to our political panel of siblings, dallas woodhouse is the founder. carolina rising and his brother brad is the executive director of american's united for change. brothers, welcome. >> good morning. >> good morning.
4:18 am
>> all right. dallas, do some explaining. i know this is on your side of the political spectrum, why is scott walker doing so well and chris christie is sputtering? >> well i think there's two things. this is far more about mr. walker than it is christie. walker is obviously taken on the unions and their allies like my brother, he has beaten him back in three elections over four years, and he has proven something that is always true that good policy makes good politics. and he has made that work in wisconsin. and he's exciting people. when mr. christie won in 2009, he was sort of the first signal of republicans coming back after the drubbing they took in 2008 he showed he could win in a blue state, he showed he could talk tough, but you know, since that time, a lot of republicans have done that. he's just one of several i think this is a lot more about scott walker than anybody else. >> all right. now brad, this is your chance to tell your brother how brilliant
4:19 am
his analysis is. >> i totally disagree with him. look, i don't think that most voters in iowa know about everything that scott walker has done to undermine the middle class and undermine workers in wisconsin. i do think his boom lit recently has a lot to do with the fact that chris christie is fallen. take a look a year ago chris christie was leading the polls of respective republican candidates both nationally and in iowa. he has crashed, walker has gone up. i'll tell you this the thing walker needs to know, people are going to look at his record now, like my momma said, the sun don't shine on the same dock's butt all the time. his record -- >> that ain't exactly what she said but we can't say it on tv. >> i love your mom. real quickly, the producers asked for your three top picks. dallas, you said scott walker marco rubio and rick perry. meanwhile brad you said rand
4:20 am
paul, scott walker, and jeb bush. brad, what's your headline? >> look i think rand paul has got a set of libertarian folks he's inherited those from ron paul, and, that's helping him maintain a strong base in these states. >> sure, and dallas of course we are a long time before anybody actually does any voting. this is, this is just a game. >> scott walker is leading right now, and he will, he will win the iowa caucus. >> all right. >> whoa. wow. >> your brother -- >> he's a lot of people's number two. he's either number one or number two. that will work in iowa. >> there's a long way between now and then. >> bold prediction by dallas woodhouse. brad, thank you for joining us as well. >> thank you. all right. coming up on this wednesday one college student complains the rotc is training kids to be criminals. colonel david hunt wants an rotc instructor himself here with his response. and kanye may have ruined

award. elisabeth. >> you got it, brian. well, a student at brown university taking aim at the rotc after officials tasked resolutions allowing the armed forces training program to return to the university. he called them criminals saying rotc's attempt to recruit elite students is a calculated attempt to rope the best and brightest into the industry of state-sanctioned violence, end quote. it goes on to tout the anti-military bias. we're going to talk about it now. fox news contributor colonel david shunt a former rotc instructor and joins us now, thanks for being here this morning. >> hi. >> you were an instructor for the rotc, this writer says it's an organization of criminals. certainly indicting you as training them. how many criminals did you train, colonel? >> hundreds, hundreds of people. it's very interesting i spent
4:26 am
30 years doing what i did, and i'm target about being an rotc instructor. it's a lot of reward, but it's not exactly exciting. i think the insipid remarks by one student down in providence, rhode island is obviously, low hanging fruit. i think the bigger story is brown university is one of the great universities of the world. and in government, certainly the army needs as mentioned from the ivy league as you can get from florida state or boston college. that's the issue. and the problem with brown is they're not letting him on campus, they have to go up to the college of holy cross up in wooster. >> right. >> vietnam war. we need, not this, this kid is just an idiot but the school is one of the great schools in the world. and the government certainly army needs as many bright young, men and women to come in. >> this writer says that the attempt that recruit the elite students is a calculated attempt
4:27 am
to rope the best and the brightest into the industry of state-sanctioned violence. he's admitting there that the country is trying to rope in these bright kids to try to help a poor cause. what do you say to that? >> note to idiot students who wrote, we've been at war for 14 years. it's not going well. and we need as much, as many the best and brightest then as we do right now. from brown and from harvard yale and all the state schools. i think it's a great thing that's coming. by the way, people like me and everyone else in the service the reason this clown can write the words he wrote. he's a side show. i think the bigger one is brown university, great college. and we need those young men and women serving the nation certainly now in this time of war. >> seems as though this writer is trying to shame them here and indict many for insighting criminality. >> we thank you for doing what you do.

4:39 am
guys be quiet. here's what he said earlier on our show, listen to this. >> i think when it becomes about the parents the team, the trophy especially at the younger levels. we're missing the mark and not taking advantage of developing character in kids. >> there's so much pressure already. >> all sports are difficult, then you add this person that you care more about than anybody in the world, and they're screaming at the top of their lungs where you feel if i don't succeed, you fail 70% any time you've let them down as well as anybody else. >> can you relate to the that? >> you know, i was brought up in a little different era. so, you know, i firmly believe that if you have to yell, you have to yell. you know, you've got to have a little tough skin. and you know, it's going to teach you. when you get yelled at life is tough, and they're going to learn. >> and you think the point is let's have the managers, not your parents. tell me about the coachup.com.

4:46 am
allowed. now a tune is the first in the nation to turn those upside down. their version says this municipality is not a gun-free zone. so criminals, better watch out. here now is the parenting supervisor. steven, what prompted this? >> well, basically it was the news reports of all the atrocities that were being incurring and guns were involved. and most of all, those occur in gun-free zones. and this was disturbing to us and being a small township we take pride in what we have and we don't want anyone taking them from us. >> so you put it up to the board, the council said anonymously, let's do it. you put them up everywhere what's the reaction been? >> so far it's been 99% positive. you do get some negative people but most of the time, those

4:48 am
would think that should be mandatory curriculum in every school in the united states. that somewhere those children whose young people learn what a gun and firearm's all about and how to use it safely. >> so you said the people 99% has been positive. people from other communities, other towns, other states reached out to you at all? >> yesterday, i had phone calls and e-mails from 15 some requesting to know how we did it. some just to say congratulations. one town in idaho said that it will be on their agenda for their march meeting to in fact do the same thing as we did. >> steven moore, thanks so much for telling your story. having the boldness to put it out there, we'll see how copy cats are out there. this is one situation where you wouldn't mind, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up straight ahead, it seems funny in the movies

is wednesday, february 11th, i'm elisabeth hasslebeck. the face of nightly news kicked off the air until later this year. but why is he paying the price when hillary clinton got a pass for this whopper. >> remember landing under sniper fire. there was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead, we just ran with our heads down. >> is there a double standard? >> yes there is. we're going to talk about that. another fox news alert, america and several other countries pulling citizens out of a terror hot spot overnight. a live report from the white house straight ahead brian. >> all right. one family feud you have to think, if you're on family feud you have to think on your feet.
5:01 am
>> we've got top seven answers on the board. name something a doctor might pull out of a person. >> what do they say? her answer makes everyone just lose it and you'll hear it then you'll make your own decision organically. we do a bunch of surveys mornings are better with friends. >> i'm julian edelman with the new england patriots and you're watching "fox & friends." >> sports day. >> you never know who's going to drop by. you miss a little you miss a lot. >> super statement by a super bowl champ there. >> julian edelman doing the circuit and just joined us on the couch. probably available on foxnews.com, foxandfriends.com later. nbc suspends brian williams for embellishing his stories from the battlefield. >> overnight, williams was yanked from the air effective immediately and without pay. >> ainsley earhart joining us
5:02 am
live with more. >> nbc's top news man surrounded by controversy, and now the hammer has dropped. the nightly news anchor suspended for six months without pay after falsely claiming for years he was on a helicopter shot down by enemy fire during the iraq invasion. williams has been embellishing the story since 2003 making it seem more and more perilless with every telling. he wasn't caught in the lie until a few weeks ago. >> the story actually started with a terrible moment, a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq. when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. >> iraq war vets calling foul on that story. and forcing him to come clean. >> i want to apologize, i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire. i was instead in a following aircraft. we all landed after the ground fire incident, and spent two harrowing nights in a sand storm
5:03 am
in the iraq desert. this was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension, our brave military men and women. >> nbc's top brass announcing william's suspension. debora turness says brian misrepresented events. this was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in brian's position. while some see the suspension as a way to push williams off the air for good, fox's howard kurt's thinks they hope to have him back one day. >> as strange as it sounds as nbc to suspend it's star for six months without pay and use words like inexcusable and breach of trust, this is an attempt to save brian williams's job. >> nbc news says that lester holt will continue to fill in, at least for now. back to you elisabeth brian, and steve. >> thank you very much ainsley. didn't cite anything about hurricane katrina, let's see if something else is there.
5:04 am
that's what's going to be happening over the next six months. looking into every story. >> i'm sure they are. and rebuilding the trust. so this morning, we've been kind of scratching our heads, brian williams is being held to this standard because he told these lies about iraq. but what about hillary clinton? remember back in 2008 when she was running for president of the united states, she was recounting a story about what she was in bosnia and she was flying in as first lady, and they were under sniper fire, a corkscrew landing at the airport. she told this, which as it turns out was just one great big lie listen. >> i remember landing under sniper fire. there was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead, we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles. to get to our base. >> well, that turned out not to be true. >> not at pull.
5:05 am
we spoke with colonel david hunt, the tactical leader there when hillary landed, this is worse than what she's say about the military. watch. >> it's inexplicable she would lie about something that was very good for soldiers. the problem is it's stolen valor, she's on the backs of soldiers there to protect her. and she's saying that we allowed sniper fire at the president of the united states's wife. so there was no everything was made up about this event. >> so just goes to show you it's not about her, it's everybody affected by her statements. you could say the same thing about brian williams to a degree that these pilots and army guys who were supposed to bring them safe. they didn't do they job. they did because he was safe as opposed to the story that he misportrayed. >> a lot of people in the lie. >> the crazy thing about both are that that wherever brian williams and the first lady
5:06 am
were, there were cameras everywhere. a video record existed. for them to tell these whoppers, it's crazy. but of course hillary held to a different standard. she's got an pass. we asked you what you thought. kathy said i think lying is lying, it's deceitableful no matter how you look at it. both are wrong. the only difference sheer only one is -- here is only one is planning for president, that we know of. >> brook writing this people have accustomed to turning their heads when politicians lie it's what they do. >> carl says thisly save hillary clinton the trouble, now say what difference that the point does it make? i get it. that'll be comback possibly to bother her. >> yeah. also a story today about hillary clinton having trouble fundraising. i guess when you keep asking the same people for millions of dollars, they get sick of it. meanwhile another fox news alert, breaking overnight, security concerns in yemen, forcing the state department to close our embassy there.
5:07 am
officials say it isn't safe for americans anymore. even though that the president said that was a success story. kevin cork up early at the white house, kevin. >> i've covered the white house for years and usually when this happened it is a result of actionable intelligence, as you mention the american embassy closed in yemen. britain and france both closing them as well. and you probably already knew this, the american embassy there had already scaled back operations. but this is where things get complicated because when you tout successes in some place on occasion you have to walk it back. listen to the president describe the white house strategy in yemen back in 2010. >> the strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> successfully, that is the buzz word there. not so much right now. we'll continue to watch how things e involve. meanwhile the nation continues to mourn the death of kayla
5:08 am
mueller, of course killed by the thugs and isis. just 26 years old. the aid worker from arizona. here once again is the president. >> it's as tough as anything that i do having a conversation with parents who understandably want, by any means necessary for their children to be safe. >> never gets easier to listen to. again, our thoughts, our prayers, condolences to her family, not just in arizona, but all over the world. meanwhile al busy day near washington. you've talked about it just a bit, the authorized use of military force. we expect more details today and we'll continue to watch it and bring you the latest right here on fox news from the white house, back to you. >> kevin thanks. josh ernest and the white house saying they were aware of other hostages being held in the region. and kayla mueller's words to her parents in the last letter i think haunting and heartfelt. do not fear, continue to pray we will be together soon with god.
5:09 am
prayers to her families. >> it sounds that we know of one other, but the government officially not releasing the name or any other details as was the case with kayla until isis announced that the jordanians had bombed her. which, was not true. according to the u.s. government. >> and no one thought it was. heather, now it has other news that's important for us to understand. >> good morning. good morning to you guys. let's start out here in the united states. new overnight the man that police believe shot a popular san diego sports anchor is now in custody if this morning. kfmb's kyle was shot at least twice as he was backing out of his driveway at his home in el cajon, california. police they man, 54, mike montana opened fire and then he escaped. there was a tense standoff with the s.w.a.t. team at his home and finally surrenders. you can see him there. no word yet on a motive. he is now recovering from surgery. well another major media shakeup to tell you this morning, jon stewart stepping
5:10 am
down at the face of the daily show on comedy central. >> 17 years is the longest i have ever, in my life, held a job. in my heart i know it is time for someone else to have that opportunity. >> well, stewart says he'll stay on until the end of the year or some time later this year. it's causing some to speculate that he may replace brian williams at nbc news? nbc reportedly considered stewart as a potential host for meet the press some time ago. and all you need is $2 and a dream. that's the saying for the powerball jackpot. it's at $485 million. fifth largest prize in u.s. history. it was supposed to be $450 million, so many people bought the tickets that it upped the ante. the downside of course it puts your chances of winning at about one in is 1 $75 million now. well one contestants answer on family feud is really going viral today. for all the wrong reasons.

lot of heat for remarks he made that a gunman in paris randomly picked a kosher deli as a target during the terror attacks there in paris. the white house was asked to clarify, the president's remarks yesterday, but they doubled down wrongly. >> there were not all victims of one background or one nationality. >> the individuals who were killed in that terrible tragic incident were killed not because of who they were but because of where they randomly happened to be. >> oh brother. later josh ernest dialled back tweeting quote, our view has not
5:17 am
changed, terror attack at terror kosher market was from anti-semitism. peter johnson junior took a look at it yesterday with his -- >> i like to be articulate and use big words have you ever seen anything so stupid and embarrassing for the american people to hear these spokesman spout this nonsense? nonsense which is false. and a lie. this was an anti-semitic attack on four jews in a kosher deli in paris. and the president said, well this is a random, some folks in a deli. well, it wasn't random it was intentional. the folks were french-jewish people, and it was not just a deli, or a bodaga, it was a kosher deli selling food, almost
5:18 am
exclusively to people that pursue the jewish faith as a matter of their religion. >> i tell you what though, yesterday, jen psaki said well, i don't believe everybody there in that supermarket was killed was of the same background, which was wrong because all four of the people were jewish. >> we're talking about credibility. we're talking about brian williams and his credibility, and truth-telling. when a spokesman for the united states of america, whether it's the state department or the president of the united states has the nerve to get up and say, no, this is really random. this guy kind of wandered in there. the guy that wandered in there called the premier french news network and told the reporter there that he had targeted french-jewish people. >> sure. >> that it was payback for what israel had done in palestine to the muslim people. so, for the united states of america, in a tweet now to say oh, we take it all back, after all day telling the associated press at the state department
5:19 am
telling people at the white house that some how they've got all wrong they don't understand culture, that they don't understand isis, that they don't understand terrorism in the world. there's something wrong. if you can't call them out, you can't stump them out. are we going call them out and stomp them out or say anti-semitism is okay when it results in the death of four. they got it right now, got it the wrong all day. and now they're trying to undo what they did. let's say it right, then let's do it right. it shouldn't happen again. >> you're right. >> this is an embarrassment to the united states of america. these spokesman should apologize today. for what they said and what they did. because they were wrong. a tweet is not enough. >> you are right about that. >> absolutely. >> peter johnson junior. >> well said. thank you. coming up on this wednesday, one town warning criminals this is not a gun-free zone. and will shoot. how would you like those signs

shouldn't be telling the students what words they can and can't use even if the message is to educate. >> i agree. you also told me that you're in the minority who think this is out of step. most think this is fine. >> yeah. i'd say most students on campus, they're more concerned with their own personal emotional security rather than their personal freedoms. that's a big problem on campuses nationwide, not just u of m. >> have you noticed for get worse since your stay there? >> it's gotten progressively worse. more programs like this. this isn't the only program on our campus. there's other programs similar to it. there's about three of them. that's meant to educate on words and the link and how it can offend people. >> we saw a cartoon that says, stop, think words matter like you're three years old or watching sesame street. isn't college supposed to
5:26 am
prepare you for the real world. in the real world, people use those words do they understand that? >> i don't think so. you know, anarbor is 28 square miles surrounded by reality. if students are thinking about the real world, they're thinking about their feelings, they're thinking about social justice and how they can change the world and safe everybody on campus from their feelings being hurt. >> are you comfortable speaking out about the absurdity you feel these words illustrate? >> yeah. i don't have a problem with it but i don't really -- nobody has a right to not be offended and everybody has a choice to be offended or not. you know, if somebody confronts me about it and calls me names, doesn't like that i'm speaking out about against this i'm choosing to not be offended by that. >> suck it up and thicken the skin, the real world is uglier than words listed. i hear you and good luck after you graduate from the university of michigan where you're a senior. hire that guy if you don't have

no huge crime cities but this town wanted to make everything clear should you come in with bad intentions this is not a gun-free zone. >> sure how many times have you seen the sign that said this is a gun-free zone. you thought, you know what how do those people protect themselves? >> that's right. >> they can, but that's not the case in pennsylvania. >> we talked to steven moore he explains why and how they're doing it. >> it was the news reports of all the atrocities that were being, occurring and guns were involved. and most of all, those occur in gun-free zones. and this was disturbing to us. and we being the small township, we take pride in what we have. and we don't want anyone taking it from us. >> at least one other town in considering putting up the signs where it says this is not -- >> 15 calls. 15 calls yesterday. >> $500 total on all the signs. >> that's all that it's cost the
5:32 am

5:33 am
same group that hacked an account less than a month ago. we will follow that story as it develops. despite that, president obama says that climate change is a bigger threat than international terrorism. and the press secretary was forced to defend that statement yesterday, here it is. >> the president saying he seems to be implying here that the threat of climate change is greater than the threat of terrorism. >> i think john, the point that the president is making is that there are many more people on an annual basis who have to confront the impact the direct impact on their lives of climate change or on the spread of a disease than on terrorism. >> the answer is yes, the president thinks it's a greater threat than terrorism. >> more people are directly affected than by terrorism. >> so, climate change is more of a clear and present danger to the united states than terrorism? >> i think the department of defense has spoken to the significant threat that climate
5:34 am
change poses to our national security interests. >> that's painful. on monday the president said that the media overhyped the threat of terrorism. well bibles are banned at schools because they're the same as handouts from satanic groups. what? the school board at in orange county, florida making the decision after a satanic group wanted to hand out coloring books to students. well the board reconsidered it's policy because bibles could also be handed out. some members think the decision could force groups including the ymca and the boys and girls to stop handing out fliers. one religious group already planning to file a lawsuit about this. and your sleep positions in bed may say something about your relationship say experts. if you and your part sleep back to back without touching, you're connected and secure but independent. sleeping with your backs against one another but touching, you're relaxed and comfortable, and of course there's spooning one
5:35 am
partner being protective over the other. confessing all about your sleeping habits? >> talking to each other. >> i think, i think everybody does a variety of them. it just depends on you know -- >> depends on your mood, yes. >> we have an issue where there's no spooning between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00. that's unexplainable because we're here on our way to work. i don't want stranger spooning. >> don't the kids go into the bedroom with your wife. >> caitlin hears the opening. >> that's a whole set of spoons. >> all right. >> silver spoons. all right. meanwhile 25 minutes before the top of the hour. look at this time lapse video. captures the moment a ferry breaks through the ice. it's an ice breaker. >> this is up in maine where there's already seen 53 inches of snow. >> and they don't even blink up there when that happens. now another storm is gearing up to slam the east coast again. unless we decide we wish it away
5:36 am
and it doesn't come here. >> is it possible to wish it away? >> you know what, i think we have wished it away the system looks like it's going to be a lot weaker now across portions of new england. great news for them. more than 50 inches of snow already recorded across parts of maine. that's the case as well across many areas of new england including portions of massachusetts, and that was one area we were concerned that the snow would bring heavy snow to. now it's across the great lakes, snowfall accumulations, generally light, maybe a couple inches in areas and there's a forecast monitor. eastward, and by thursday afternoon, we're going to see that snow comes down in areas of new england and down through parts of new jersey and it quickly exits out of east coast as we head to friday. behind these storms, we're going to be looking at very cold air. by the way, another system could bring more snow, and this one looks to be a little bit stronger as we head into sunday. so several days here of unsettled weather. temperatures will get colder. here's a look at thursday and friday, cold air moves eastward,
5:37 am
it's about to get a lot worse. some of the coldest air of the season moving on in as we head into sunday and monday in the northeast. that's a look at your forecast temperatures. monday morning, it could be ten degrees below zero in syracuse, and that's not the windchill. back inside. >> it'll be cold, and 20 feet of snow up there. i know -- >> winter will be happy. 22 minutes before the top of the hour. even with the latest uptick, gas prices are still at a six-year low with the national average at $2.21 per gallon. >> this as the stock market is seeing a near all-time highs. why aren't americans spending more? >> i'm going to ask somebody smart, maria she knows for sure. why aren't we spending? >> i think it takes a little while. several months to flow through the economy. first of all when people see gas prices coming down and they know they have more money, they want to believe that will it is sustainable. so that's why it takes there is a little bit of a lag. now in december, we saw retail sales come down that was a
5:38 am
surprise because this is the christmas holiday, the big shopping time of the year. and people really were not spending. to be fair, in the fourth quarter in that gdp report which was weaker than expected a couple weeks ago, the one bright spot within that gdp report was consumer spending. we're seeing sort of little bits of spending in different areas like for example i think people are eating out. restaurant earnings have been doing well. maybe people are spending money there. but again, it really does take a lag. we've got the retail sales report coming out tomorrow we should see a good number tomorrow. if we don't, then it's adjust mystery why people are not spending more money. >> when you look at the price of gas over the last number of years, i think when george bush left office, it was about $1.85 a gallon then for years it was so much more. the fact that suddenly we're putting more of that money back in our pocket, until then it had been like a tax on all of pus. >> it has been. and you know the truth is that people are saving more as well. when we saw the latest numbers in terms of spending and saving.
5:39 am
we saw that people saved money. again, i think it takes a little while for people to believe that okay, gas is lower, this is sustainable, i do have more money for the next several months, then maybe i can allow myself to buy that extra treat. >> amazing too, everyone talking about giving people $200 back in the pockets people can relate to the less money with gas, all of us have more to spend. >> you're right. if off gas guzzler and it's been costing you $100 just to fill up your tank it's now costing you 50. >> why are you looking at me? yes, afl gas guzzler. >> we all do. >> have a great interview, right? >> yeah, we're going to talk about with the president of the dow federal reserve, richard fisher is coming on in a few minutes. and he's a really interesting story right now, not only is he going to give us a set of when they're going to raise interest rates at the fed, what we're going to see in terms of jobs but also, he's coming from
5:40 am
dallas. so he's got to give us the good idea of how many jobs and economic growth has been cut as a result of the decline in oil. because you know, we've been seeing negative implications there, and since 2007, most of the jobs the new jobs created have been in texas. they've been around the energy story. so, i'm anxious to hear what he has to say about the reverse now that oil prices are down. >> i can't wait. >> thank you. >> your show is coming up shortly, don't miss maria on the fox business network. to find it, log on to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder, and it'll find your channel. thank you. >> thank you. have a great day. look at this we have a fox news alert this year's little league world series champions just stripped of their title. this is big. baseball officials say jackie robinson west little league used players who lived outside their area in chicago. that's breaking the rules. now the 2014 championship title will go to mountain ridge little
