benghazi. >> where i came from, they call that a lie. we're live in milwaukee, wisconsin, with a complete recap of the fox business debate. another breaking story. a plane slams into a building sparking a raging fire. the moment of impact caught on snap chat. >> oh, my god. >> the devastating new images have just come in. we'll share "fox and friends" starts now. ♪

♪ well, today is an easy day to remember when you write a check. it's 11/11. that's right. it's veterans' day. armistice day marking the end of world war i. the 11th hour r the 11th day of the 11th month. outside in front of our world headquarters, the u.s. navy fleet forces band performing columbia, the gemini ocean. >> what a way to start the day. >> no kidding. luckily they're from the navy because it's a little rainy out there. >> i thought the same thing as i walked in there. i thought they'll be able to handle it better than anybody. >> i remember a time -- everyone is saying, i think there's a true appreciation for what today is and what yesterday was. the marine corps birthday. we have a huge show in the next three hours, talking about that. >> we do. >> welcome back. good to have you.

>> you celebrated a birthday or two. >> we had parents visiting day at school. thanks to anna for sitting on the couch for me. >> steve, what do we have? >> too fewer candidates on the stage. but the debate was not short on one liners. >> you're right about that. joining us from milwaukee with the highlights and low lights, john roberts. good morning, john. >> reporter: elisabeth, steve, brian, good morning to you. last night's debate was notable for policy and lack personal attacks. there was plenty of spirited back and forth between the candidates as they went over their plans for what ails the nation. there were plenty of big applause lines like when marco rubio talked about more vocational training. >> for the life of me, i don't know why we've stigmatized vocational education. we need more welders, less

philosophers. >> thank you for not watching me while i sit in the tebth grade. >> one of the reasons i said that, i would not be talking to vladimir putin, although i have met him as well. not in the green room for a show but in a private meeting. >> there were also a number of moments last night where the audience clearly disagreed with what was being said. both from the candidates on the stage and from one of the moderators. listen to this. >> he walked away, he quit talking. >> not finished. >> time to quit talking. >> why does she keep interrupting everybody? >> yeah. >> terrible. >> i'd like to finish my response, basically. >> hillary clinton is the clear front-runner for the democratic nomination. if she is the nominee, you will be facing a candidate with an impressive resume. she was the first lady of the united states.

>> clearly, no one in the audience last night wanted to hear anything positive about hillary clinton. though the moderators did get universal praise for their part in last night's debate. going back to what rubio said, he may have lost a philosopher's vote. i i was tweeted by someone who said those were insulting. a lot of working class americans would hold a different opinion. >> you're right. >> john roberts live in old milwaukee this morning. thank you, sir. >> as a matter of fact, in relation to rubio's mentioning of welders, that welders jobs and training actually went up over 1,000% on twitter. people were searching that after he said it. >> vocational training is hot. i will say one thing, neil cavuto said my goal is to not get known. he wanted the candidates to be the story. i think all the moderators had the same focus. that's pretty much what came out. they made, i people -- we

interviewed all these people multiple times. i feel like i know more about them now than at any other debate at any other time. >> because it wasn't about the moderators and gotcha questions. it was about issues. from donald trump on down the list. >> you know what, this morning people are waking up. they're probably saying i don't know if it changed my opinion about who the winner is or the loser. but i think ths a clear winner. it is fox business. in fact, of course, i work for fox. naturally, i'm going to be biased. at cnn money, the headline over there on their website is no debate over fox business moderators, they're better than cnbc. goes on to say the conversation was about the candidates not the moderators. >> when you go home, you're watching this debate as a voter. as a voter, you're watching this and you felt like wow, whoever put this together understands that i'm smart enough and deserved enough to get real

information out of the people asking to lead this nation. we got that credit to the moderators for doing so. it was substantive. you felt you walked away chewing on something for the next day and going into 2016. they did a wonderful job. >> the fireworks started on the right in my estimation when donald trump talked about i am ga immigration. >> the next thing you know he starts about building a wall and cracking down, enforcing the walls. then next thing you know 25 million people are watching the debates. yesterday was an opportunity for the republicans. let donald trump know they agree or don't agree on one of the most controversial issues in america today. listen. >> the people think that we are going to ship 11 million people who are law-abiding in this country and somehow pick them up at their house and ship them out to mexico, think about the families. think about the children. >> to send them back, 500,000 a month, is just not possible.

it's not embracing american values. it would tear communities apart. >> we're a country of laws. we either have a country or we don't have a country. we are a country of laws. >> we can embrace legal immigration while believing in the rule of law. i would note, try going illegally to another country. try going to china or japan. try to go into mexico. see what they do. every sovereign nation secures its borders and it is not compassionate to say we're not going to enforce the laws and i will say the politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the rio grande. >> that's right. then there would be a lot -- he also went on to say, reporters and there would be a lot of stories about that. one other important thing that ted cruz said when he came back after kasich and bush trying to dress down trump is mr. cruz

said, if republicans joined democrats in granting amnesty, we will lose. it said republicans can embrace legal immigration and the rule of law. >> also what came up, i can't get over how much information came out of the candidates last night. credit to the moderators. where do they stand on minimum wage. they can divide about everybody. neil cavuto got in there off the jump. this is what the candidates had to say. >> i would not raise the minimum. how do we lou people to extend the ladder of opportunity rather than how do we give them everything and keep them dependent. i would not raise it specifically because i'm interested in making sure that people are able to enter the job market and take advantage of opportunities. >> if you raise the minimum wage, you're going to make people more expensive than a machine. we need more welders and less philosophers. >> hillary clinton has said that barack obama's policies get an "a." really? one in ten people aren't working or have given up altogether as

you said. that's not an a. one in seven people living in poverty. one in five children are on food stamps. that is not an a. it may be the best that hillary clinton can do. but it's not the best america could can do. >> of the eight people on stage, it helped not to have 11 or ten. fo everybody. it made the pre-show more important. i got a lot out of that. >> did very well. >> they were smart enough to realize whoever wins is facing hillary clinton. it's not even up for debate anymore. they really seem to tie everything from okay, i disagree with you governor kasich, but the real problem is right here. they actually pointed the finger there at hillary clinton and i thought it was ben carson that was pretty strong. >> probably taking a note from chris christie. focusing every question back toward hillary and the attack that will be coming soon in 2016. ben carson talked about hillary and her lies. >> we should vet all candidates.

i have no problem with being vetted. what i do have a problem with is being lied about. when i look at somebody like hillary clinton, who sits there and tells her daughter and a government official that no, this is a terrorist attack and then tells everybody else it was a video, where i came from, they call that a lie. >> right. instead they're focusing on him and what happened at 14 years old, what happened with his mom in his house. >> he got a big laugh when he said thank you for not asking me what i said when i was 11 years old or in 11th grade or something like that. i'm sure there will be polls out shortly. there's one where you can go online and vote as many times as you want. the winner, once again, according to drudge, trump with 37. cruz came in second with 21. this is interesting. rand paul is now third according to this at 17.

rubio at 12 and dr. carson is in fifth place with five points. >> i think all eight did well. i would say this. governor kasich came out with you been stands but people didn't like his style. came off angry. rand paul, i thought was tremendous. people agree or disagree. he was honest, got a chance to talk and counter argument in a polite way. i thought ted cruz was great. he's become more personable now. >> going in, everybody said jeb bush and in fact x jeb bush's people were saying look tonight for a more feisty jeb bush. he was better. but was it the kind of pefrps that turns things around ultimate ultimately? you will decide. >> especially when you hear it again today. you hear jeb bush this morning. that sounds presidential. >> that was a good sound bite. that could have been his best moment of the night. what do you think was the highlight? who are the winners and losers. e-mail us and facebook us or tweet us.

>> at least the candidates have to feel as though they presented their best case rather than feeling they didn't get enough time. that's what i sense. we're going to talk to them today, including marco rubio and governor huckabee. another gem from last night's debate. maria's bart romo broach. some are comparing it to a ring pop. >> i liked it. what do you think about it? let us know. we're going to talk more about that. >> delicious. we showed you the video. a journalism professor pushing a student and trying to shut down free speech at the university of missouri. this morning, a huge update on that story and that woman. >> she's calling for muscle. first, more from the u.s. navy. here to celebrate veterans' day. >> talk about muscle. >> 11/11. your body was made for

better things than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz is a small pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can reduce joint pain and swelling in as little as two weeks, and help stop further joint damage. ility to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma, and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts, and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb,

>> the most engaged states during the fox business debate. where were the most people watching? this is interesting. number one, the commonwealth of virginia followed by new hampshire. which has the first primary. followed by maryland, then wisconsin, which was the host state. and then bernie sanders home state of vermont was number five. >> look at the candidates who have added the most twitter followers. here dr. ben carson added 6.8 thousand people. marco rubio adding 3.4 thousand. donald trump atting 2.5 thousands. cruz and carly fiorina, just shy of 2,000 followersment. >> i think intrigued people more and said can this guy get the nomination. i thought he looked strong. >> i'm shocked that iowa isn't one of the highlighted places. every candidate has been in iowa for about a year. maybe they don't have to watch

it because they've met them. >> one of the things you notice a lot when looking at the moderators and particularly maria bart romo. there was so much talk online about her brooch, where it's from and stuff like that. somebody compared it to a ring pop as you can see there. >> much more expensive than that. >> from one of the disney films, people thought -- >> then somebody else, i believe this is from a buzz feed list, the brooch was compared to donald trump's hair. >> that's fantastic. >> i wonder if anything about neil cavuto that stood out. it's all about her brooch. >> we'll talk later about what frank luntz did on his post game show with his focus group. i was fascinated to see how well marco rubio did in that and others. >> actually, what they -- they

switched. those that supported him going into the debate, after the debate they switched to rubio. >> the interesting thing will be to see whether or not that translates into a bump in the polls because marco rubio at the last debate, he clearly dominated and did a really good job incorporating many portions of his stump speech in his answers but he didn't really budge in the polls. will there be a pop in the polls? a ring pop in the polls? stand by. >> will there be a surge in brooch sales today? >> 20 minutes after the hour. >> fox news alert for you now. a plane slams right into a building sparking a raging fire. the moment of impact caught on snap chat. >> oh, my god. >> that's right. the dramatic new images just coming in. and the surprise on their faces say it all. our next guest has made it his

mission to make sure our wounded heroes have homes. how you can help him do that, next. jeb bush: leadership means you've got to be all in.

good morning. it's 24 minutes after the hour. back with a look at some of your headlines and a fox news alert to bring you. no survivors after a small plane plunges into an apartment building in ohio. that moment of impact caught on snap chat. >> oh, my god! >> that woman taking some sort of a selfie. the exact moment that the private plane that was carrying nine people was on its final approach to the akron airport and crashed. investigators say the cause was

likely mechanical. three people now charged for stealing records of millions of jpmorgan customers from 2012 to 2015. joshua samuel aaron is one of the men charged, along with jerry shah loan and owe another. secret service code name. two of the republican candidates have been released. carson's code name is eli and donald trump is mogul. those are your headlines. i'll see you here soon. let's head over to steve. thank you very much, heather. operation finally home is helping our heroes rebuild creating incredible moments like this one. >> those two homes that you just saw are our gift to you. they belong to you. they are your homes and the gift from all of us to you. your free home. we couldn't be prouder. >> neither could we to introduce you to the man behind the mission. president and founder of operation finally home.

dan wal wirth joins us live. >> good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> wonderful what you have done. so far, you've built 93 homes. got 60 more in some stage of development. how did this quest start for you? >> oh, ten years ago, i had a friend of mine ask me to talk to his friend who his son had run over an ied. he was in the marines. 21-year-old, his life had completely changed. their lives had completely changed. mother was a school teacher and father was a salesperson. now they had a son that was going to come home and they were going to have to take care of him the rest of their life. >> he had special needs. >> yes. >> you were asked to help them out with a house and you did. >> right. >> at the end of that, you felt you had to do something. >> right. >> well, it's just -- we feel like it's a god calling. after we remodeled that first home, just felt like that we just hadn't done enough.

>> sure. >> so we decided to build a home and built another one and another one. ten years later, we've done 156 projects. >> it's fantastic. the homes are beautiful. here's the thing. because this is your business, you can build about a quarter of a million dollar house for how much? >> right. for about $75,000. >> that's fantastic. >> it really is. our organization, we partner with great sponsors and builder associations across the nation. what we do is ask these builders to step up and build the home and ask their subcontractors and suppliers and things like that to join with us and they do. so that makes the house very affordable. >> when you present the keys to the families as we just saw, two families get their homes right there, they wind up with a house absolutely free and clear to them. >> yes. >> you wind up paying their faxfa

taxes for a year. >> we do. that's what we do here at operation finally home. we're in new york promoting the weight off their shoulders campaign. >> this is right here. started yesterday. tell us how the folks out there watching right now can help you build another 150 homes. >> right. we partnered with a great veterans group, jordan plow. i think they've been on the show before. we've partnered with them and we have our weight off their shoulders campaign. this represents the weight, the burden that these families are carrying right now. >> absolutely. >> so we're asking our folks to get on our website, operation finally home.org. join with us and purchase one of our bags, and we get 100% of the net proceeds. the money will go towards building another new home. >> these people, they do so much. they come home and you help them out in many cases.

thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. a wonderful story. once again, operation finally home.org is the website if you'd like to help out. >> thank you. god bless. god bless you. coming up on this veterans' day, gene simmons did not rock'n'roll all night because cops just shut him down. why did they give him the kiss off? find out straight ahead. the military taking center stage at the debate last sniet. >> the united states is the strong he's military power in the world. >> how is it conservative to add a trillion dollar in military expenditures? >> which candidates best fit the role of commander in chief? we're going to talk to our military panel coming in next. good morning, fellas. first happy birthday to general george s. patton born on this veterans' day.

i know that rand is a committed isolationist. i'm not. i believe the world is a stronger and a better place when the united states is the strongest military power in the world. >> more coe marco, how is it conservative to add a trillion dollar expenditure for the federal government that you're not paying for. >> are you talking about -- >> how is it conservative to add a trillion dollars in military expenditures? you cannot be a conservative if you keep promoting new programs that you're not going to pay for. >> we can't have an economy if we're not safe. there are radical jihadists in the middle east crews fieg

christians and radical shi ee cleric trying to get weapons. i believe the world is a safer and -- i don't believe, i know that the world is a safer and better place when america is the strongest military power in the world. >> marco rubio, rand paul going head to head in a fight in a dplib rat way. the u.s. military went front and center when we talk about spending. what makes the military feel better about their future. we have a former navy seoul here and blatant trump supporter. the middle row here for the marine corps and the veteran iraqi freedom and new york co-chair for carly for america. a former army intel sergeant. brian, where do you stand? >> i think rubio, you know, had it right. that we need to maintain a strong military presence. but the question is, how are we going to spend the extra money, where are we going to focus it? >> to where, but all we're

seeing is cutting here. >> and we're reducing troop strength. not just weapons. the number of marines and soldiers and ships. that's dangerous. get rid of the waste, get the bureaucrats out of the way. get the ones who want to build the unnecessary weapons. but be robust. >> as the navy s.e.a.l.s you've been called out doing a lot of the missions we don't even see and you're still being called upon. what's the difference over the last seven years as opposed to the previous eight years and who best mirrors how you feel we should be spending? >> rand paul called for a a trillion dollars. no. you put someone like donald trump in there who has done the most with the least amount of money. that's the commander in chief. >> he wants russia to go bomb them. >> let him. jeb said it's like playing monopoly. it is how the real world works. you let them use their resources, conserve ours. >> is russia bombing the right people? >> i think so now.

>> you think they should bomb isis? >> here's the issuer, we've create thd power vacuum there. they need to show force. that's all the people speak is a show of force. no matter the enemy, we arm the wrong people and we lose. >> here's the big question. your health and welfare when you come back and fight. hillary clinton brought up the va and republicans overblowing the problems. listen. >> we cannot and i will not put our vets at the mercy of private insurance companies without any care coordination or leave them to fend for themselves. privatization is a betrayal. >> really? >> i'm not going to let it happen. >> sorry for interrupting, hillary. it's a betrayal to go privatization when the government is running the va. >> privatization is not completely wrong. the va does more than just take care of wounded veterans. they also do a lot of research. in order to get care in a timely manner to veterans, i think the

private sector could be leveraged in order to give veterans another option, maybe even a better option for more of the mundane day-to-day. >> it's overblown the problem one says. >> there are some procedures that the private sector does better because they do it in more volume. bypass surgery is an example. what hillary is saying, you get better outcomes, somehow it would be a betrayal to go and get a better outcome. >> this is the difference between liberals and conservatives. conservatives believe private sector can do a better job. how many people die on waiting lists in private sector? >> zero. >> the va made a complete mess of everything. get rid of it. >> can we give you the option? can you have freedom to go where you want? is that possible. >> choose to serve, choose our doctor. >> he's the only one to compliment me so far. >> good job, brian. >> thank you very much.

women, when you come back, will you be able to get a job? that's the national unemployment figure. 5.0. let's look at veterans. 7.2% after 9/11. kieran, your reaction to that number? >> a lot of things veterans do twh they come home, they start businesses. they're leaders and self-starters. very difficult to start a business, a small business, the regulatory burden is incredible. the tax burden to stave up a little money is incredible. if we got the hurdles out the way for the entire country, veterans will benefit in a great way. >> you come back, in the military minds, you got to get back into the business mind. the transition is not happening. >> it's also education as well. we need better options for veterans for education. the gi bill is there, but a lot of the veterans are taking it to private for profit colleges when they should be taking it to more reputable colleges where the degrees will be worth something. >> you ran for office to change this. >> when you come out of the

military, you have no transferable skills twhachlt did you do for nine years? i shot bad guys. we don't do that here at bridgewater. you can't transfer those skills on pape every. the sticktuitiveness and ingenuity is prevalent in veterans. there's a number of companies, like ex bell um creating that liaison bridge from the military to the private sector and being successful at it. >> it would be great in the country knew and business knew the type of skills that do transfer, the mission oriented, the completion oriented. we get it done. give me an opportunity to do it. there are no excuses. >> when you get out of the military, the transition class is taught by somebody who has been in the government all their life. >> i think we just solved the world's problems. thanks for your service, for fighting and talking about it now. >> appreciate it. heather nauert, you have something important to say. >> let's see if we can solve the weather problems. extreme weather alert. tens of millions of people in

the crosshairs of a powerful storm this veterans' day. >> boy, look at that thing right there. that storm bringing in heavy rain and hail in california. that lightning bolt striking near santa cruz. that same system now dumping snow in colorado as the storm moves east. these are pictures coming in from denver. tornadoes and damaging winds, also possible in the midwest this afternoon. we'll check in with more later. the university of missouri campus, trying to police free speech. this e-mail sent to students asking them to report any "hurtful or hateful speech." these tensions after administrators were ousted over accusations that they didn't adequately deal with racism on campus. football players threatening to boycott the entire season as the protesters list of demands were not met. this journalism professor we cold you about, melissa click, she resigned after threatening a

journalism student ironically over protests over free speech. listen to this. >> get out of here. i need some muscle over here. >> late last night she resigned. she said, i need some muscle over here. she later apologized after that was caught on camera. the university now trying to down play her role as a journalism professor there. tis tushing new details emerging about the student who stabbed people on a campus. he had an isis flag during that attack. the report also says he had a radical manifesto with instructions to behead a student. police say he was upset about getting kicked out of a study group. they insist that radical islam was not a motive. turns out that gene simmons can't rock'n'roll all night long. >> i want to rock'n'roll all night ♪ ♪ and party every day

>> what a bummer. police shutting down simmons performance at a private concert in los angeles that was benefiting a children's charity. they say the concert was simply too loud. come on, guys. let's get with it. those are your headlines. >> a concert was loud? no way. i had no idea. heather, keep it down. >> it's called amps. with what a shocker. by the way, a while ago we featured how you can help the people who are building all those homes. their website crashed because so many people responded. go back later on in the day. try them a little later on. also you can, go to "fox and friends".com later in the day and we'll link to their website. >> so many people want to help. you've heard from the experts. what did the candidates think about last night's debate? we're going to take you inside the spin room live from milwaukee next. the battle for black friday has already begun.

trump's claim to have met vladimir putin. ben carson addressed the controversy over his life story. and marco rubio said we need to target education to available jobs. >> for the life of me i don't know why we have stigmatized vocational education. welders make more money than philosophers. we need more fielders and less philosophers. >> thank you for not asking me what i said in the tenth grade. i appreciate that. >> one of the reasons i've said that i would not be talking to vladimir putin right now, although i have met him, as well, not in areen room for a show, but in a private meeting. >> those were some of the highs last night. there were also a number of lows. moments where the audience clearly didn't like what was being said, whether it came from the candidates on the stage, or from the moderators. >> he walked away, he quit talking -- >> not finished -- >> it is time to quit talking. >> why doesn't she keep interrupting everybody?

>> i'd like to finish -- i'd lick to finish my response, basically. >> hillary clinton is the clear front-runner for the democratic nomination. if she is, indeed, the nominee, you will be facing a candidate with an impressive resume. she was the first lady of the united states -- >> the audience clearly did not like maria bartiromo saying anything positive about hillary clinton, though she and neil cavuto did get universally high praise for their role. one other interesting moment, at one point last night ted cruz committed, i guess what you could call a half-perry talking about the five government agencies that he would close. he named four of them. doubling up on the department of commerce. kind of like the five "ds" of dodge ball, dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. brian, elisabeth, steve? >> that's two dodges. all right. >> he did correct himself with the post game show and said education he had forgot.

after it was john kasich who got up and he said that donald trump's plan was wrong, couldn't send 11 million people home, and then he was followed by jeb bush who said yep, we can't really do that. >> not possible. >> and then look at this. ted cruz actually stuck up for donald trump, in a way. >> i understand that when the mainstream media covers immigration, it doesn't often see it as an economic issue. but i can tell you from millions of americans at home watching this, it is a very personal economic issue. and i will say the politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the rio grande. or if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press. then we would see stories about the economic calamity that is befalling our nation. and i will say for those of us

who believe people ought to come to this country legally and we should enforce the laws, we're tired of being told, it's anti-immigrant. it's offensive. >> cruz also said if republicans joined democrats in granting amnesty, we will lose. >> meanwhile we did get an idea where everybody stood when it comes to the tax plan and they have to get challenges from each other on how much they would tax, where the revenue is going to come from and how the economy would grow. listen. >> i want a government really, really small. so small you can barely see it. my tax plan, however, is the only tax plan among any of the candidates on the stage that is part of a balanced budget plan. >> there are more words in the irs code than there are in the bible. and not a one of them is as good. this plan eliminates the payroll tax, eliminates the death tax, eliminates the corporate income tax, and it abolishes the irs. and it costs less than virtually every other plan people have put up here, five major agencies

that i would eliminate, the irs, the department of commerce, the department of energy, the department of commerce, and hud. >> the most important job i'm ever going to have, the most important job anyone in this room will have ever is a job of be so when we set out to do tax reform we endeavored to have a pro-family tax code. it is expensive to raise children in the 21st century and 35 out of 50 states, child care costs more than college. >> you all have a different tax plan. some i don't totally agree with. one thing we understand, each one of those tax plans is better than the mess that we have right now. >> and in 90 seconds, they talk about it and defend it. i found it very interesting. >> it sure was. >> what did you think of the debate? who was the winner and who was the loser. deborah on facebook saying this -- ted cruz and rand paul agree jeb and kasich need to drop out. christie was awesome in first debate. >> sharon says marco rubio he connects with the future, he

remains extremely focused on the important issues and understands the financial needs of the middle class. he is also a very skilled communicator. >> marcus on facebook this morning says the moderators won. they controlled the debate in a cohesive, focused manner without making themselves the main object of the debate. there is one little bit of mischief. you know the debate officially was run by the rnc. and you know, all the press who were in attendance, for the most part, very liberal. right? studies have found in the 90s of them lean toward the democratic party. so to use the wi-fi last night in milwaukee, the password was, stophillary. >> right. >> all right ten minutes out -- >> a little mischief. >> mischief. >> all right. the military, one of the hot topics at last night's debate. >> the world is a stronger, and a better place when the united states is the strongest military power in the world. >> how is it conservative to add

a trillion dollars in military expenditures? >> well, senator marco rubio here to respond to that. and more next. >> that's right. and, this veterans day the search is on for these punks, stealing american flags. but what they didn't know, oh, someone is watching. ♪

on the stage last night in a very respectful way it was the fourth gop debate as rand paul went after marco rubio when it comes to military spending. listen. >> how is it conservative to add a trillion dollars in military expenditures? >> we can't even have an economy if we're not safe. there are radical jihadists in the middle east beheading people and crucifying christians, a radical shia cleric in iran trying to get a nuclear weapon. the chinese taking over the south china sea. yes, i believe the world is a safer -- no, i don't believe, i know that the world is a safer and better place when america is

the strongest military power in the world. >> and joining us live, that very man, senator marco rubio of florida joining us from milwaukee. senator, you've had three strong debates. do you think this was your best? >> well, i don't know. i mean i never view them that way. it's not an athletic competition or a cage match. it's an opportunity to talk to the american people. in that instance it's about national security. it's the most important thing the federal government does. it's the reason why we have a federal government. we don't have a federal government to do education and common core. we have a federal government whose primary obligation is to keep us safe. and that means secure our borders, and build up our military so we can confront and defeat any adversary. >> so where are you going to get the trillion dollars from that rand paul says we shouldn't be spending? >> first of all, before we fund anything, the federal government should be fully funding national security. it is the most important obligation of the federal government. without it, none of these other things matter. you can't grow your economy if you're under duress. you can't grow your economy if you're sucked into wars because of weakness.

you can't grow your economy if your people aren't safe because they're coming under terrorist attacks. so before we fund anything we should fully fund defense, and then with the money that's left over, we can decide what the proper role of the federal government is. but the one thing only the federal government can do, and the reason why we have a federal government, is to provide for the national security and the common defense. >> where are we lacking? we lacking in the navy, with foot soldiers in the army, do we need more marines? where do you see it? >> in everything. >> let me tell you what's happening under president barack obama. we are on pace to have the oldest and the smallest air force and navy in a generation. we are reducing 40,000 positions in our army. the chinese are practicing how to shoot down our satellites. we have no answer for it. they hack into our computers through cyberwar fare. we have no answer for it. we are lacking in every component and we're not doing research and development to confront the challenges that are around the corner that lie ahead in the years to come. >> all right, let's talk about immigration. i watched governor kasich and donald trump as well as jeb bush weigh in. they differ when it comes to immigration, what we're going to do with the 14 millions that are

here already since we cannot deport them all. donald trump says we can. what does marco rubio say? >> i say we're starting that argument the wrong way. the first step has to be bringing illegal immigration under control. you know the lesson of 2013 when i was involved in a bill in the senate, the lesson i learned from that is the people in the united states do not trust the federal government on immigration. and you're going to have to prove to them that illegal immigration is under control, that the numbers have been brought down substantially. that means not just passing a border security law but actually doing it. and proving it to them. and once you do that, the second step is to modernize our legal immigration system so that it's merit based. after you've done those two things, then we will realistically but responsibly deal with the people that are here illegally. if you're a criminal you'll be deported. if you're not a criminal and have been here longer than ten years you have to learn english, you have to start paying taxes, you're going to have to pay a fine and you get a work permit. and that's all you're going to have for at least ten years. i believe that's the only way forward. but it begins by enforcing our immigration laws. >> it was refreshing to hear

everybody tell their different tax plans and you talk about a family tax plan, and a deduction. can you expand on that? >> yeah, a child tax credit. it is expensive to raise children in the 21st century for working families. and under my plan i'm going to allow every family to keep $2500 per child of their own money to help with the cost of raising children. child care, saving for college, buying clothes. i mean i'm raising four kids now. every month that goes by they outgrow this and new shoes, whatever, a new back pack, the cost of raising children is expensive. and if we don't strengthen the family, we can't have a strong country. the family is the most important institution in all of society. >> and in another world you have a family of four it's called hand me downs. you don't have to get new stuff for everybody. we'll go over that -- >> well, listen. the problem is i have two girls and two boys. the girls are older. it's hard to pass those clothes down. >> now i want to talk about something else, welding. you said we need welders, that welders get paid more than philosophers, we have too many

people with philosophy degrees. here's your tweet the google trend, searches for welding classes are spiking 1300%. are you happy to be behind the welders today? >> well, look, it's not just welders, machinists, airplane mechanics, car technicians, these are good-paying jobs. for the life of me i don't know why we stopped teaching americans to do that kind of work, to work with their hands. these are good paying jobs. we can be teaching kids to do that when they're 16 or 17 years of age and there's a shortage of people. you go around the country as i do, to these manufacturing facilities, they can't find qualified workers. we should be training more young americans to take on vocational careers, good paying jobs. >> plato would have been so much more successful if he had just welded and stopped yapping about his philosophy. >> well, if you can find a welder -- if you can find a philosopher that can weld, that's pretty good. >> senator, i'm off to do some research. senator marco rubio, thanks so much. the day after. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up straight ahead, another big topic last night was veterans affairs.

>> restore respect to our veterans by revamping and fixing a broken veterans administration. >> the steps, robert mcdonald live next.

here they are. >> government didn't keep its promises to its veterans. we need to fire some of these v.a. bureaucrats. somebody should go to jail over these scandals. >> it has not happened. >> what would happen if the congress and the president had to get their health care from the v.a.? >> restore respect to our vet advance by revamping and fixing a broken vet advance administration. >> secretary mcdonald, the frustration is felt across the nation. do you believe that the v.a. is broken? >> well, i think we're making progress, elisabeth. we have more progress to make. since the crisis in the last year we've had 7 million more completed health care appointments than previously. 4.5 million of those have been in the communities, 2.5 million have been within the v.a. our average wait times are down to five days for specialty care, four days for primary care, three days for mental health care. but we still have opportunities. we still have a growing waitlist

in some locations around the world where more veterans are moving. we need to improve. we've also reduced our disability claim backlog by 88%. that's claims longer than 125 days. that's good. and homelessness of veterans is down over 30% since 2010. but again, if there's even one veteran that's homeless we have work to do. that's why we're in the midst of the largest transformation in our we call my v.a. >> all right. mr. secretary, you were citing the number of statistics but one you left out, the percentage of appointments where people have to wait over 30 days. in november of 2014, it was 6.28%. one year later, it's actually up 2% higher. you're going the wrong way. >> yeah, that's what i said, steve. i said that there are places around the country where there's been a huge influx of veterans. 250,000 service members are leaving the service in the next year. in those places we've got to

hire even more doctors, create more space. we've hired over 1400 doctors in the last year, over 2300 nurses. we've added over 1.8 million square feet of new space. but we need to do more in those areas where more veterans are moving. we have work to do. >> so why -- you're a systems expert. you were brought in to revamp a broken system. why aren't you able to hire these people? why aren't things moving in a better direction? you have politicians talking about it constantly. what is the problem? >> well, i've been here just over a year now, and you know, obviously it takes time to create a broken system or to create a system that isn't operating properly and it takes time to fix it. but, we've got a great team in place, over 50% of my direct reports come on board since i came on board, most of them, like me, have private sector experience. and we're applying the best principles of the private sector, things like design --

and others -- >> mr. secretary, rob o'neil famously the navy s.e.a.l. who killed osama bin laden, i was talking to him last night because i told him we were going to have you on and i asked him, because he's in the v.a. system, and i saw one of his instagrams where he was on the phone waiting for two hours a couple of weeks ago and didn't get anything. i asked him what he felt about how the v.a. is working right now and this is exactly what he texted me. doctors and nurses are incredible. everyone else needs to be fired. the administrative staff sucks. government employees can't be fired, no accountability, no work effort. blatant thievery from patients, the feeling of walking into a homeless shelter. that's one of your most famous clients, and he feels like, you know, this benefit for him, that he earned, is like walking into a homeless shelter. >> well, i hope you gave him by cell phone number, my e-mail address, because i'd like to get in touch with him -- >> i don't have it. >> well, he can contact me. it's available on the internet.

i was last night in new york city, at a jobs fair, and also with a wood row foundation and i talked to a lot of veterans. what i'm hearing is that the system is improving, that we have more work to do, and recently vfw did a study that said that over 80% of veterans are happy with their care in the v.a., and over 80% will recommend the v.a. to others. >> secretary -- >> but as i said there are pockets of problems and we need to work on those. and i'm committed to that, as is our team. >> secretary, what's your word today? to our nation's greatest, the very best, who serve all the rest, the 1% who are serving now, who are going to come back, what's your message to the veterans today? is it one of hope? i know there's work to be done. but directly to them what do you say today? >> it's hope. it's hope. and it's service. and it's sacrifice. and when i think of today, i think of people like my father-in-law who is a tail gunner on a b-24, shot down over europe, prisoner of war, harsh treatment, and when he got

connected to the v.a. and during the prisoner of war support group he was a changed man. if i had known what i know today then i could have helped him much sooner, and i feel bad about that. that's what drives me every single day. >> well you know, we're all rooting for the v.a. we want it to work. you've got a big job. robert mcdonald the secretary of the v.a. thank you very much for joining us on this veterans day from the white house. >> thank you, steve. >> thanks for your team. >> all right. coming up, on this wednesday, governor christie keeps the heat on hillary clinton. >> the woman who asked to run and represent all of the united states says that her greatest enemies are people like you in this audience and us here. >> well, he was at the first debate. i'm sure he watched the second debate. what did he think? he's going to join us next. >> and could another republican still get into the race? the big announcement, mike bloomberg just made. >> he's a republican? >> at one point.

was that a good strategy? and joining us now is new jersey governor himself, republican presidential candidate governor chris christie. governor, you probably had one of the most unique performances yesterday. definitely unique to your personality. bobby jindal went directly at you and you essentially said oh, you don't mean it, i'm going to go after hillary clinton, that's my enemy. tactically, why did you do that? >> listen, brian, i'm going to keep my eye on the ball here. and that is that our real adversary, the person that we need to defeat is hillary clinton. and so, i was going to make sure i spent my time last night letting the american people who were watching know that i have a plan to beat her and that i'm the best person to be on that stage next september to prosecute the case against hillary clinton and to win back the white house for our party. >> i tell you, i was looking online, and i was reading all sorts of things and a lot of people feel that you were the clear winner from the first debate that started at 7:00 eastern time. how did you feel you did? and how did you like the way

that fox business network ran the debates? >> well, i thought that the moderators were great. i thought trish and sandra and jerry did a great job. i thought they asked really good, substantive questions. i thought they did a good job of controlling the banter back and forth and i thought they did a wonderful job. so i thought it was a good format. it was a great audience. and i felt really good about how it went last night. >> did you feel good, governor, about the fact you really set the table in terms of directing the focus on hillary clinton moving into 2016. did you feel oz though the candidates on that prime-time stage did well enough at that, keeping the focus and their eye on the ball, the ball being hillary clinton? >> no, i really didn't, elisabeth. i think that on the main stage, what you saw again was a lot of interruptions, a lot of back and forth against each other. and the fact is, that the differences between us on that stage, while real, are much, much less significant than the differences that we have with hillary clinton.

and i think we've got to get a lot smarter about how we focus our conversation going forward. you can count on this, that's the way i'm going to focus my conversation and that's why hillary clinton does not want any part of me being on that stage next september because we knows i will not take my focus off of her for one minute. >> well in addition to people watching the debate on fox business there were a lot of people online, and according to facebook, the top facebook candidates in the early debate, you were number one. bobby jindal was number two, mike huckabee three, and rick santorum number four. why do you think, and brian touched on this why do you think bobby jindal was coming at you so strongly? >> listen, i have no idea. you'll have to get governor jindal on and ask him why he made the decisions he made. i can tell you this, i'm running for president of the united states. i want to be president of the united states. and i think the people saw on that stage last night just how badly i want to be president and how much i'm willing to fight for them. and the issues that they care about. that's what i care about. i have no idea. you'd have to ask governor

jindal what he was thinking. >> i'll tell you the one thing that kind of stwruk me as i was coming in today, is that i remember a few years ago, they wanted you to run really bad, you said i'm not ready. i just became governor. what did you learn in the interim that makes you feel ready now? >> if 4 1/2 more years of running the state of new jersey, one of the most chaotic, difficult, energetic, diverse states in america, also, hurricane sandy came in between that time. and one of the biggest crises that any governor has faced in our country, to bring my state through that crisis, taught me how to make difficult decisions even more than i knew before. and so, now i really understand what it's going to be like to have to sit behind that desk and make those difficult decisions. and what the people of the country need to know about me, is that i want to do this job. i believe i'm ready to do this job. and i'm ready to take on any crisis, whether it's around the world, or right here at home to restore middle class wages and do what needs to be done. >> doesn't matter the stage, you

make your mark for sure. governor christie, thanks for your time today and reaction to the debate. >> elisabeth, steve, brian, thank you all very much for having me on. >> thank you, governor. always a pleasure. >> all right. 21 minutes before the top of the hour. >> coming up we just heard of the head of the v.a. say the problems at the v.a. are getting better. so is the v.a. really making progress? like he says? pete hegseth here to respond. he's fixing his tie. he's live next.

good morning to you. 43 minutes after the hour. some other stories that are making headlines this morning. bloomberg for baptism? during the annual al smith dinner in new york city, the former mayor, mike bloomberg, had this to say. >> as you may know, i've always said that this country is not ready for a divorced, jewish billionaire from new york city. after deep deliberation and personal reflection, and after consulting with my family to get their approval, i've decided to become a candidate for baptism. >> there you go. well, budweiser spending $107 billion to remain the king of beer. that company just finalized its deal to buy sabmiller. that will begin the world's two largest brewers, anheuser-busch now makes nearly one-third of the world's beer. i'll see you back here in just a

bit. steve, brian and elisabeth, over to you. >> who knows. >> baptism? >> you can get baptized any time. >> for what reason? >> any reason. >> convert -- >> he wants to become a christian? >> that's big news. >> awesome news. amen, hallelujah. >> all right. >> meanwhile v.a. secretary rob aerd mcdonald says about 300 employees face disciplinary action for manipulating wait times for vets seeking care. "the washington post" gives him drs gave him four pinocchios for this claim saying it's far from the truth. just moments ago said that things are getting better. >> i talk to a lot of veterans and what i'm hearing is that the system is improving, that we have more work to do, and recently, vfw did a study that said that over 80% of veterans are happy with their care in the v.a., and over 80% will recommend the v.a. to others.

>> sounds pretty good. pete hegseth, do you believe that? >> well, it -- you look at those studies you're looking at people already inside the v.a. already getting care. a lot of people referenced, there is a lot of great care that comes at the v.a. once you get in. if you can pass the impenetrable bureaucracy. listening to bob mcdonald you think everything's better, everything's fine. which is the absolute opposite reality that most vets are facing. wait times are up. very few people have been held accountable. he got four pinocchios because he lied about it. they said 300 people have been fired for the waitlist scandal it's less than 30. >> he just said 900 on meept. in february they gave him more pinocchios. a couple of days ago he said we proposed action against 300 employees involved in the wait time scandal but then the arizona republic looked it up, 24 cases where they're examining. >> exactly. and bob mcdonald is fighting against something like the v.a. accountability act that would give him the power to actually fire employees. >> so he does not want the power to fire? >> doesn't want the power to

fire. imagine executive who doesn't want the ability to hold people accountable in realtime. because he's listening. >> let me ask you this because he did allude to the fact that more veterans are coming. they're relocating and that's why we're facing this backlog and in some areas that's why we have these wait times. what was your reaction to that? >> well, what it means is he sees it only through the lens of a single payer top-down government-run health care system. it's got to be a facility and if we've got lots of vets moving somewhere they're going to have to wait a little bit longer. the reality is a veteran waiting 60 days for a primary care appointment is fundamentally unacceptable. we've got to give them a choice. if the v.a. can see them promptly, great. if not, give them a choice to go to a private provider. >> bob mcdonald fought back lock, stock and barrel. he will look in the camera and tell you he's for choice but in reality, behind the scenes they're trying to keep everyone inside the v.a. system. >> why? >> it's bureaucracy, it's politics. if you can keep the vets inside you keep your customers, your funding, you keep your

structure. if it's about the veteran as opposed to the v.a. some of the vets might choose private care. but it's not about the veterans. >> speaking of politics here's hillary clinton on the v.a., listen to this. >> and i will not put our vets at the mercy of private insurance companies without any care coordination or leave them to fend for themselves. privatization is a betrayal. plain and simple. and i'm not going to let it happen. >> okay. politics, as well? >> if you like the v.a. under barack obama you're going to love it under hillary clinton. because she's going to double down on the system as is. she gave an entire speech, an entire plan that uses lots of buzz words about reform, and accountability. but does none of those things. and what it does do, though, is scapegoat anyone including my organization, other candidates that are proposing reform, as privatization. you're going to throw them out on the private market. look what -- >> the republicans are overstating it. >> they're overstating -- >> it's not as widespread.

>> she's going as far as saying you are leading them down a path of betrayal by saying they should seek private care if the v.a. is not giving them the care in 60 days which they deserve, they have earned. they're saying you, people like you, are leading them down a path of betrayal. >> that's what the left does. they demonize their opponents instead of looking at the content of what they're talking about. we're releasing substance about an option, a choice. you want to talk about 80%? 90% of veterans want a choice given the option to seek private care if they can't be seen at the v.a. she's demonizing us for even talking about that. >> sure. >> and not even proposing any real solutions other than doubling down on more funding and talking about accountability but not doing anything about it. >> there certainly are some things the v.a. is well equipped to handle, that your local guy can't. ptsd, things like that. then they should have regional centers. but otherwise just go to your local doc. >> and every plan, including hours, makes sure that those capabilities are preserved, that if a veteran wants to use v.a. facilities they can but why not give them an option, the v.a. competes for them as customers.

it can't take them for granted anymore. it's basic organizational management. hillary's plan totally ignores that and unfortunately it's pretty thin on what she'd actually do. >> 350e9 hegseth, stick around. i think you're going to be on that side of the couch tomorrow. >> i can't replace brian. but -- >> please don't -- >> as i was. as i was. >> appreciate you guys. >> thank you, sir. >> you got it. >> we do have some good news for veterans right now. where you can get free stuff today, like an incredible meal because you deserve it. but first, on this day in 1981, hall and oates topped the charts with their hit private eyes. remember when christmas was magical? let's get back there. celebrate the arrival of santa at bass pro shops this saturday, and the unveiling santa's wonderland.

well, today is veterans day and we have outback steak house serving steaks to those who served. it smells delicious. >> it sure does. and it looks pretty good if i do say so myself. outback veterans day and delicious steak tips we have outback chef himself john cook. i love that your last name is cook. >> yeah. >> great deals for those who have done so much for our nation and our great country. what are they? >> this year outback is honoring our veterans by offering a free beverage and bloomin' onion on veterans day and from november 12th through the end of the year 15% off meals for veterans and their families. >> if people can't get in today i understand there's also a rain check. >> we have a rain check program for our deployed personnel. they can go online to get a voucher to enjoy a bloomin' onion and a free beverage on us when they get back. >> why does it matter? why are you guys taking action on this?

>> outback has been a supporter of the military and they're families for years. they do so much, just our way of saying thank you. >> what have you carved up here? >> we've got one of our beautiful natural bone-in rib eyes that we've carved up this morning. we're going to taste some of our new steak toppings and a few grass fed burgers. >> have they been given permission to sample your work? >> they have, indeed. but they're holding out. >> straight ahead. >> you guys do it for america. good? >> fantastic. >> there you go. >> all right. you come bearing steak tips because we all do grilling over the weekend. what's the number one mistake people make when they're grilling a steak? >> you know i think the number one mistake is not letting the steak rest before you cut into it. if you let it rest for a few minutes before you cut into it the juices will all redistribute. >> it's so hard to wait when it comes right off. >> five minutes? >> five minutes should be great. >> how hot should the grill be when a steak goes on it? >> depends on what you're doing.

i like the grill to be around 500 to 600 degrees. >> you've got to have marble. >> absolutely. got to be a well marbled steak. that intramuscular fat is where all the flavor comes from. >> speaking of flavor, what kind of topping is that right there? >> we have a roasted garlic butter here. mushroom marsala sauce and smokey bacon bourbon. >> i want that right now. >> so folks check it out. the nice thing the outback steak house is doing for our vets. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. brian, thank you. >> all right. >> we love having you here. that smells good. >> yeah. >> all right. coming up, the reviews are in. the big winners of last night's debate. the fox business network moderators, neil, maria, sandra, and trish all join us live from milwaukee coming up next. what if one piece of kale

could protect you from diabetes? what if one sit-up could prevent heart disease? one. wishful thinking, right? but there is one step you can take to help prevent another serious disease. pneumococcal pneumonia. if you are 50 or older, one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia, an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. even if you have already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, prevnar 13® may help provide additional protection. prevnar 13® is used in adults 50 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. common side effects were pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, less appetite, chills, or rash. get this one done. ask your doctor or pharmacist

about prevnar 13® today. i really like this organic soup. yeah. at least we know what he's eating. campbell's organic soups.

good morning to you. it is wednesday, november 11th, 2015, i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the stakes were high and the candidates delivered. >> think about the families. think about the children. >> to send them back, 500,000 a month, it's just not possible. we need to have a country, or we don't have a country. we are a country of laws. >> oh, do we have one incredible panel to analyze the debate. neil cavuto, maria bartiromo, sandra smith and trish regan all here live with us. we are just moments away. >> so who is the real winner last night? well, apparently the fox business network. but don't listen to us. that's according to cnn. which must kill them, brian. >> yep. coming up, veterans day is here and we know that. the head of the v.a. says the

problems at the v.a. are getting much better. >> i think we're making progress, elisabeth. we have more progress to make. >> elisabeth, your e-mails are pouring in on this. and by the way, mornings are better with friends. well, it might have been the most informative debate to date. and we had just over two hours in the main show, and in the preshow also very strong with four. here's a look at some of the times and some of the moments when the sparks flew. >> we can't even have an economy if we're not safe. there are radical jihadists in the middle east beheading people and crucifying christians. >> what would you do if the bank was failing? >> because if -- >> if the bank was failing? >> i would not let the people who put their money in there all go down. >> i would not be talking to vladimir putin, although i have met him, as well, not in a green room for a show but in a private meeting. >> why does she keep

interrupting everybody? >> so, who came out on top? here to react are the men and women who ran the show, the moderators from fox business network, we're talking about neil cavuto, maria bartiromo, trish regan and sandra smith from milwaukee. >> good to see you. steve, elisabeth and brian on the "fox & friends" set. >> look, good morning to you. >> good morning. i love it. >> maria. >> hey, guys. >> fantastic job yesterday. how did it feel from your perspective? what was your approach going in? >> well, our approach going in was that we wanted to stick to the issues. neil said it very eloquently we did not want it to be about us. we wanted to make sure that we helped the voter, helped the viewer best distinguish each candidate's proposals to fix the economy, and their proposals about foreign policy. am i right, neil? >> absolutely. bottom line is, you know, obviously these candidates go back and forth and they will go at each other. they did in the first debate. did in the second debate. but you want to encourage that and address the questions that

are out there. and some of them, trying to find a way to get around it, that's their call. >> neil, this morning, rather than talking about the media bias that was in full bloom with the moderators, everybody is just talking about hey, it was refreshing, because it wasn't everybody taking a shot at each other. >> right. >> we actually heard a policy discussion about things that people care about. >> not only that the chief of the strategy group said the debate, quote, should be a model going forward for others. and i really believe american voters sitting back today watched this debate, getting the information, seeing differences between candidates, because you all did such a great job letting them give their answers. what's the secret -- >> thank you. >> -- to not overtaking the debate as a moderator? >> i will say this. we had a lot more questions, actually. and, in fact, we actually had to cut things. i don't think you noticed it on number of things, because, you know, we wanted to let it breathe. we wanted to have the candidates

talk to one another and have an open conversation. and i think that was one of the secret sauces if you will. open it up, make sure that we get a good differentiation of why, you know, rand paul, 14.5% flat tax is different than ted cruz who wants 10% income tax and 15% business tax. you know, sort of -- >> i'm sure you experienced it, as well, is each candidate feels that they're slighted. i mean during the breaks they would come up and they would subtly remind you -- >> i wasn't in that segment. >> but ironically the ones who would complain about it who actually time lines were doing very well. being treated very well. but they would always say what about me? >> yeah. >> neil, there was one moment, and maria, there was one moment when donald trump looked down and said carly fiorina was interrupting somebody else. why does she keep interrupting everybody? were you thinking, uh-oh this could get out of control quick? and did you feel as though carly fiorina was interrupting everyone? >> well, i felt at that point my

career was flashing through my eyes. but i will say this -- >> i don't think she was interrupting anybody. >> no. but it was very similar to i forget the debate where it started immediately and donald trump had looked at rand paul and said, what's he doing here? and i thought it was going to be -- it was going to be one of those out-of-control, you know, he said, she said kind of things. it really didn't get to that. later on in the spin room when i was talking to him about it, he said i like her just fine. it's almost like prize fighters they get in the ring, they're knocking the heck out of each other and outside of the ring, oh, hey can we go for a beer? >> can we talk about chris christie because we've got trish regan and sandra smith here. he was tough. >> and i think people liked it. >> he came out swinging. he was really there to get a message across, right from the beginning there. we heard a lot of talk about the need for entitlement reform from him. we heard about how we're going to get tough on china. and we heard a lot about hillary clinton. and what needs to be done to beat her. a lot of negativity towards the

other side. we did hear some of the other candidates, jindal for example, kind of chime in and try and go after christie. >> kind of? >> but he -- >> he immediately was so funny about that debate. and so riveting to watch and how they were handling it. jindal obviously wanted to engage him. >> yeah. >> and christie had none of it. >> yeah. >> the last thing you want to do is validate any of their statures. so he just kept it off. and i know there were a couple of times, a little jab from jindal and he looked -- >> bobby jindal went after mike huckabee and governor christie went back and defended mike huckabee. so as a moderator what are you thinking at that moment? >> i was reading body language. a lot goes into it. it was quite an experience, quite the night. and trish and i were just chatting about it. i mean we felt like every player first debate and second debate really came to play. and i mean we haven't even mentioned senator sand rum.

he really came out swinging, too. he was vivacious. but they all brought it, yeah. >> the democrat fight and that's what he admired the most and there were a lot of interesting economic policies that he talks about in the way of the family and what he could be done to encourage families to stay together. >> same with marco rubio because he's got the tax credits for children. >> maria, how -- >> maria, how great is it, the fact that while we -- we're biased we work for fox, but according to cnn money, their head line is, cnn, which must kill them, no debate over fox business moderators, better than cnbc, conversation about the candidates, hats off to all of you. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> you know what? well, look, we work there. i work there, neil worked there, trish worked there. so it's pretty good. >> you know, before these guys were born.

but, a lot -- >> you did a fantastic job. >> it's nice to see. >> and everybody, by the way, they loved the job you did, as well as your brooch, maria. >> what is the deal with the brooch. >> that was my grandmother's brooch. and i'll tell you, people had asked me going into it, are you nervous, at all? i wasn't. i had nervous energy. i was excited about it. but i also felt like my grandmother is with me, i've got her brooch on. >> neil, do you have -- >> i had no brooch. no brooch. but i did have -- >> thank you for noticing my grandmother's brooch. >> neil, how important is this for the fox business network, who has been working so hard to have great qualities for everyone to not only find the network, find the channel, and then tune in? how big a moment was this for the network? you've been there, you're an executive with them from day one. >> well, you know, maria and i were chatting about this, in round robin interviews, i'm sure these guys were, as well. you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. for a lot of people who aren't

fortunate enough to get a fox business network no matter how many times i urged them to demand it, from their cable operators, they really couldn't. this would be their first experience. we wanted it to be a favorable one and about issues. we're all very comfortable, even though none of them looked like it, we're all very comfortable being nerds. and i embrace being a nerd. i built a career being a nerd. i'm not like you, brian. i mean, i have to go on more than just the looks. so, what i felt was incumbent upon us to just remind people that we're in the business, we're comfortable discussing money issues. it's what we're about and that's what we're going to push. and nothing more, nothing less. >> let me ask you that. the truth is, the truth is that we are speaking to a much broader audience. >> sure. >> people who care about the pocketbook issues like jobs, and that's different than what cnbc is doing which is really speaking to the trading desk. >> maria, what was your favorite moment, looking back on the debate? >> my favorite moment. well, i think it was when i got

booed, okay? because, i asked the obvious question, who on the stage can beat hillary clinton? i think the gop voters want to know that and the audience, when i said she has an impressive resume really did not want to hear that about hillary clinton. it was my favorite moment. >> all right, neil, what about you? >> i think it was the point of the debate when they said good night. because you know, it's funny, i was talking to my wife and she was saying something about thanksgiving plans and i thought oh, that's right. there's something -- because you get so worked up in this, that's the flip side of it. yeah, we're going to be with my family. and i thought oh, the in-law thing. but outside of that, it was life after the debate. we're all kind of caught up in that and we can breathe easier now. >> you all did a great job. neil and maria and trish and sandra thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> from milwaukee.

>> i love it. >> thanks, guys. two days in a row on "fox & friends," so he might want to do this every day. >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. >> all right. coming up on this wednesday, we showed you the video, a communications teacher pushing a student and trying to shut down free speech. this morning, a huge update on this story with -- involving that woman who is pointing and calling. >> we just heard him say the problems at the vat rans affairs are getting better. >> we just heard him say that. >> progress, elisabeth, but we have more progress to make. >> mike huckabee will be saying something when we come back. about that. >> first on this day, veterans day, the united states air force honor guard drill team is here to impress you. and they are. bring us your aching

something that didn't keep its promises to its veterans. we need to fire some of these bureaucrats. somebody should go to jail over these scandals. >> what would happen if the congress and the president had to get their health care from the v.a.? >> restore respect to our veterans by revamping and fixes a broengen veterans administration. >> well, another big topic last night at the debates, the failures of the v.a. an important thing to talk about on veterans day. here with more reaction from the debate stage, the former governor of arkansas and presidential candidate mike huckabee. mike, good morning to you. >> thank you, steve. great to be on. >> you made a great point. you know, don't you think that congress, the administration, they feel differently about things if they had to go to the v.a. for health care? >> they certainly would steve. if we really want to get it fixed it will take about a month. make the president and congress get their health care and that of heir families at the same place they think is good enough for the veterans. if there's anybody in this

country who deserves the first fruits of the u.s. treasury, it's the people who have served in uniform. they're the ones who keep us free. and on this veterans day i can't think of anything more important to talk about than what we owe them, and it is not just a monetary obligation. steve, i think it is a moral obligation. they kept their promise to america, we need to keep our promises to our veterans. and we haven't done it. >> we haven't done it. and there was that wait time scandal, after it started in phoenix and then we discovered they were cooking the books. things like that. we don't know how many people actually died waiting for help. nonetheless we had the v.a. secretary bob mcdonald on this program just about an hour ago. he says things are getting better. governor, listen to this. >> since the crisis in the last year, we've had 7 million more completed health care appointments. our average wait times are down to five days for specialty care, four days for primary care, three days for mental health care. we've also reduced our

disability claim backlog by 88%. that's claims longer than 125 days. that's good. and homelessness of veterans is down over 30%. >> he's making things sound great. but he's just cherry picking the statistics he wants to use. the fact is, wait times are getting longer, not better. >> well, we already know how the figures have been manipulated because if they just don't report things then they can say that the figures look better. just ask the veterans themselves. when you talk to them, most of them are not saying boy things sure are better down at the v.a. the real answer is, let's give veterans health care that is most convenient and best for them. so if it means give them a card that they can use at any doctor's office or clinic, and by the way, that means that they have to have a reimbursement rate that actually meets the cost of the doctors, which one of the challenges with a lot of veterans they say we give them insurance with tricare. tricare doesn't reimburse effectively so it's not worth

the paper it's printed on in many cases. that's not right. >> and just money out of their pocket. governor you were on the 7:00 p.m. eastern time debate last night. and there were only four of you on the stage, which was great because everybody got to talk a lot. but what was -- i'm going to play a sound bite. seems like bobby jindal was just going after you like a dog after a bone. watch this. >> we've got a bunch of governors running, got seven current former governors running, i'm the only one that has cut government spending. just not accurate to say that nobody else up here has ever cut. i believe every governor has probably had to make tough decisions. i'm guessing my colleague governor christie has, as i'm tossing him the ball on this whole mess the other day. >> if you think that mike huckabee won't be the kind of president who will cut back spending or chris christie or john kasich, wait until you see what hillary clinton will do to this country. >> bobby jindal was going after you and governor christie relentlessly. is that his strategy?

>> you know, it may be. i don't think he helped himself with that. i think republicans are at our best when we talk about the issues, and we talk about what we truly believe in, and how we can fix things. i don't think people want to hear the republicans go after each other like that. chris christie and i had a great time. good camaraderie. again, i'm not sure why the strategy went that way. but look, as a guy that cut taxes 90 times in arkansas against a 90% democratic legislature, i've got nothing to be ashamed of, and a lot to be proud of in the record. and i'll be happy to deal with that any time, any place. >> sure. all right. governor huckabee, who had a funny line about janet yellen. wife's name is janet, and she's never yelling so i don't get the joke. >> ha! there were a lot of people thought it was, you know, some sexist comment. i think liberals need to get a sense of humor. >> exactly. >> maybe just get a life. >> there you go. >> maybe they do. >> governor thank you very much

for joining us live. >> you bet, steve, thanks. >> coming up, not many celebrities helping support america's heroes like country superstar trace adkins, he just got back from performing for our troops overseas. and guess what? he's next.

i get to help other families. and that's what it's all about. when i came back from iraq, couldn't find work. then i found pg&e's power pathway program. here at pg&e i'm successful living in eureka with our two beautiful kids with a brand new career all because of the power pathway program. if you are a veteran, go to pge.com/powerpathway and hopefully your life will change like mine did. good morning. 24 minutes after the hour. a fox news alert to start you off with. no survivors after a small plane plunges into an apartment building in ohio. the moment of impact caught on snapchat. watch. >> oh, my god! >> that woman taking a video of herself at the exact moment the private plane that was carrying nine people on board was on its final approach to an airport in akron, ohio, and then crashed. investigators say the cause is

likely mechanical. a south carolina teenager shoots and kills a burglar with his mother's gun. he was home alone when the suspect lamar brown tried to break into the home. the teenager shot him through the back door. brown was driven to a hospital where he later died from his wounds. that driver also arrested. and the u.s. secret service revealing the code names of the two leading republican presidential candidates now released. donald trump's code name is mogul. self-evident there. ben carson's eli. perhaps a reference to the bible or a reference to a common name for students at yale where he was an undergraduate. great to have our next guest here. talk to you soon. >> there he is. from country music to giving back to our troops our next guest is a true star and he cares. always sure to show his appreciation for our heroes who fight our battles, recently he completed his tenth uso tour.

he is here to say thank you. here with us right now is music legend trace adkins. hey, trace. >> legend is a little strong. good morning. >> now, the reason you said "x," roman numeral -- >> because -- >> what happened? >> i had an album a couple of albums ago and it was ten. >> i said trace congratulations on new album "x." what did you call me? >> i don't know, moron or something. i'm sorry about that. i still haven't forgiven myself. >> no, no. i think you were angry and i think it's good to get it out. >> but it's all good now. >> yes. >> that's why i don't remember. >> you were at a book signing and said trace adkins at the paramount. how did the show go? >> it was great. had a good time. good crowd. so, yeah, we were down the street. >> embraces country music. how did you make that happen? >> i didn't make that happen. >> they love you no matter where you are. 100 performances, 45 military

bases in nine countries scheduled for you this year with the uso. what does it mean to you to partner with the uso time and time again and do so much today on veterans day, why do you do what you do? >> you know, i get a lot of pats on the back, you know, but it's really, i try to tell people, you know, it's really a self-ish endeavor. i mean, if you have an opportunity to associate with and hang out with heroes, you should take advantage of that and do that. because, maybe some of it will rub off on you. you know. and it's been a privilege for me. i mean all the work that i've done with the uso, wounded warrior project, it's been humbling, and it's been a very rewarding experience for me. and i just hope i get to keep doing -- >> they appreciate it, right? >> they do. and i tell people sometimes when folks ask me what to expect if they're going to go do a uso tour i said, you know, this will be the most appreciative audience you'll ever play for. and you'll walk away from there

thinking they gave you more than you gave them. >> and it makes you feel as an entertainer, you know, i got to sing in front of an appreciative crowd but i get to go home. >> and you feel guilty, too. very first time i went and do the uso tour i was able to talk to wayne newton before i went. he used to be big uso guy and i asked him what could i expect and he said expect to feel guilty when you come home. i thought, what's he talking about? you find out pretty quickly. >> sure do. >> the tickets, proceeds from it are going to benefit a charity called benefit till duty is done. >> that's tonight. i'm doing a show tonight at the mohegan sun and it's been a fitting till duty is done. it's an all-day event there at the mohegan sun. it starts at 10:30 this morning, lasts until 5:00. they're going to have a career fair for veterans and do all kinds of things with them. hiring our heroes is going to be there to set up a workshop to help them with interviews, and how to do resumes and stuff.

so it's an all-day thing through the vets. and we'll headline the show tonight. so, drop murphy will be there. and the west point cadet glee club is going to sing with us. >> great show on veterans day. i know you're traveling around the country. i know you've got a new album out next year. i know you also watch a lot of television. what do you make of what's going on in politics? >> i haven't been able to watch it. i didn't even see the -- >> what? you missed the fox business network -- >> you were singing. >> i was onstage last night. right down the street. >> at 10:30, he is still singing. but, 90th anniversary of grand ole opry, right? >> yeah, yeah, that was a big deal i was just at a couple weeks ago. that was a great night to be at the opry. >> and they're partnering with -- >> i told the manager that night, go ahead and write it down i want to host the 100th. >> that's right. >> all right. >> if you need a backup band i'll practice. >> all right. >> what is the roman numeral for

100? >> we'll have to see. >> talk to you. >> we'll have to "c." >> we'll have to "c" is right. >> it's a joke. you did that on accident. >> it's brian. we should be on a first name basis by now. >> all right, trace. >> great to see you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you trace, always a pleasure. >> all right coming up straight ahead. we showed you a journalism professor trying to shut down free speech. this morning a huge update on this one. >> and rochelle malkin has the award for the most grabby candidate. who is it going to be? find out next. ♪

yeah. that's the one right? we forgot dave! thank you. so, can the test drive be over now? maybe head back to the dealership? it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. the sign then drive event. zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment on a new tiguan and other select volkswagen models.

can we comment on that? >> senator rubio -- >> can we comment on that? >> yeah, one quick chent. >> i'd like to make a comment. >> you've already made two comments. >> we have more questions coming up. >> those people are the hard-working folks who put their money in those institutions -- no, no, let me say. it's a silly argument. it's not an adult argument. >> i'm going to have my back. >> governor -- >> let me say a couple things here, first of all -- >> governor -- >> you should let -- >> wow, that was ohio governor john kasich, who made sure he was heard in the fourth gop debate. but some are saying the move isolated him, instead. >> that's right. so the author of a new book sold

out think was the big loser of the debate? michelle malkin joins us now and maybe you have a big loser, big winner of the day? >> well, you know, kasich showed himself to have an acute case of irritable mouth syndrome. >> ims? >> that's right. >> do you remember that occult movie from the '80s, better off dead? there was this recurring character the paper boy. i want my two dollars. just this annoying guy who just wouldn't let go. and -- >> didn't matter what he said -- >> that's right. that's right. an attitude is everything. >> sure. because clearly, the tragedy going in for all of them is, where appropriate try to inject yourself into it. jeb bush early on made a comment about last time i only got four minutes and you thought he was going to be that guy. but it turns out it was kasich. >> well the two of them together were just sort of the crabby and the crabbier. i mean, you know, the eighth and ninth dwarf. and people don't want to see that. and it is absolutely true that

you want to have an alpha candidate that you know is going to put 200% every single minute of his campaign. >> another moment you had kasich and bush also weigh in where they stand very similar when it comes to illegal immigration. what do we do with the millions that are here already, listen. >> people think that we are going to ship 11 million people who are law-abiding, who are in this country, and somehow pick them up at their house and ship them out of mexico -- to mexico? think about the families. think about the children. >> to send them back, 500,000 a month, it's just not possible. and it's not embracing american values. and it would tear communities apart. >> is their plan, what they're talking about, amnesty? >> of course it is. but more to the point, we need platitude eradication in these debates, okay? is this a gop primary debate or a progressive roots summit?

that is the biggest cunard out there, the hugest straw man that these two prominent gop politicians are putting out there that somehow, 11 million, and by the way, it's closer to 30 million. that's a figure from about 20 years ago -- i wrote in 2002 and these people still don't get it. about the massive impact that illegal immigration, and all of these foreign guest worker programs, are having on american workers. why is it, and kudos to fox business news for putting on an adult debate, folks. both of them. however -- >> ted cruz's moment right there when he actually drew the line between illegal immigration, and the american worker. >> yes. i think that was absolutely a huge moment. to push back against this card that anyone who believes in sensible restriction and limits on who we let in to this country, and how discriminating we should be about is not xenophobic, is not nativist. >> what do you think about donald trump's idea we're going to build a wall, it's going to

be a great, big, beautiful door and mexico's going to pail for it? >> yeah, sure, well look that's a start. but the other platitude that really chaps my hide is somehow if we secure the border first, then we can have another mass amnesty. secure the border is an ongoing vigilant duty of the government and it never ends. one thing i want to say about this fifth circuit court ruling which i am glad that donald trump brought up. >> and by the way, donald trump is speaking right now live in new hampshire at a politicians breakfast. >> and maybe he's bringing up the fifth circuit court ruling. one of the failings of so much of the mainstream media when they talk about the significance of 26 states challenging these executive amnesties, it wasn't simply about protecting people and making sure that they're not deported. and by the way how annoying sit that john kasich calls them law-abiding. but, it was about issuing millions of work authorization documents to people who are taking american jobs. why don't we hear more about

that? >> -- sold out about the american worker is that why you wrote this book? >> absolutely. i'm trying to bring to the forefront things that have been happening. workers are being replaced by cheap foreign substitutes -- >> people at disney who were called in and said, okay -- >> that's right. and it happens all the time. it is not aberrant. it's a feature not a bug of the 25-year-old racket and every gop candidate should be talking about it. >> sold out is the brand new book. hit book stores yesterday. michelle malkin all fired up on this. >> always. of course. >> always good to see you michelle. >> you, too. >> heather nauert, you're ready to tell us something. >> we'll start with weather. michelle this affects your state, colorado as well as others out west. extreme weather alert right now. you're looking at live pictures near denver, colorado. a powerful snowstorm creating dangerous near whiteout conditions on some of the roads there. look at that.

dozens of flights have now been canceled. it's a fast-moving storm. it has tens of millions of people in its path. tornadoes and damaging winds could pummel the midwest later this afternoon. we will follow this developing story throughout the day. well free speech under attack again, at the university of missouri. this is just e-mailed to students police askingto reportr hateful speech. really? well protests on campus led to two top administrators resigning. but they are not the only ones who stepped down. >> who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? i need some muscle over here! >> did you hear that? that journalism professor saying let's get this reporter out of here. i need some muscle. well her name is melissa click and she has now resigned after she pushed a student during protests. she later apologized after that incident was caught on camera. well new overnight the search is on for a group of punks caught on camera stealing old glory from a park in long island, new york.

you can see a woman halfway up the flag pole there as she rips down the american flag. two men are also wanted. police say the group also swiped a p.o.w. flag. well, also caught on camera, a man snaps a selfie. take a close look at this. what is his wife doing? she's giving birth. behind him. she apparently wanted a picture of their expressions when their baby was born. the dad says the picture made his wife laugh in between her pushes. well that's a good thing. and then after a whole lot of pushing she finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl. congratulations, we are in unprecedented times here with that taking place. >> he's all right. >> i would not have been a fan of that one. >> no. >> the selfie or selfish? >> yeah. get that out of here. >> we all know as men, we're not actually doing much in the delivery room. >> but don't do that. >> i'm in charge of breathing. >> we got a doctor there in scrubs who went to college for this.

you don't want me winging it. i took three classes. everybody out of the way! >> i stand firm on no selfies in there. >> coming up on this wednesday, a topic that got a huge reaction last night. help big banks or let them fail. too big to fail. did they sound like bernie sanders some of them? peter johnson jr. weighs in on that next. >> and we continue honoring veterans with members of the united states air force band. ♪ jeb bush: leadership means you've got to be all in.

it's not about yappin'. it's not about talking. it's about doing. i know how to do this because i was privileged to serve in florida for eight years. and we turned the systems upside down that weren't working. 1.3 million new jobs were created. we cut taxes every year. income rose in people's pockets. people were lifted out of poverty. children started to learn. as president of the united states, i pledge to you that i will solve problems. announcer: right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message.

great job last night by fox business network running the debate. great job, as well, by "the wall street journal." where gerald baker the editor in chief was one of the moderators last night. the candidates did clash, if you were watching, over too big to fail and the banks. listen to this. >> if you created higher capital requirements, that's the solution to this. not having concentration of assets. the bigger baupgs now have more and more control over the financial assets of this country. and that is the wrong approach to take. >> i'll tell you about wall street. there's too much greed. they need a good ethics lesson on wall street on a regular basis to keep them in check so we the people do not lose. >> the opening question jerry asked would you bail ought the big banks again, nobody gave you an answer to that. i'll give you an answer, absolutely not. >> that's a no. but did some of those answers sound like bernie sanders who is

on the other side? way on the other side? let's talk to fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr. good morning. >> good morning, steve. it may sound like bernie sanders and that may not necessarily be a bad thing. let's see what bernie sanders tweeted out as the debate was ending last night. there he goes. if teddy roosevelt were alive today he would say break up these too big to fail banks, and he would be right. #gopdebate. and so that is what the republican party is grappling with now. the recent the outsiders are doing so well, i think, is because of the rage, the anger about what the banks did to america to cause a near depression. that we are still suffering the ill effects of. so, there's almost this schizophrenia. we say, well, we don't want too much regulation in america. but at the same time, we know that the banks had too much power. that they made too many risky

investments. we know that as a result of bill clinton back in the 1990s something called the glass spiegel act was repealed. and that splits a risky investment of banks from your deposits. and helped indirectly cause what went on. we also know that the democrats didn't go after the people that caused this. no one went to jail. no one was stepped down. the banks are still there. so i believe that the republicans were on to something last night, because they were channeling what americans are thinking, these banks are too big, they have too much power, they've taken too much away from too many americans. how do we get control back? and so the issue about too big to fail, do we bail them out, let's not get to that point. republicans were on the right target. even if they were channeling bernie sanders last night. >> so you're saying there was that close to saying you know, it's bernie sanders would say, absolutely, but what he mentioned was teddy roosevelt.

teddy roosevelt was a trust buster, was a bank buster, who says let's help the little americans. let's help the average american. and the average american is in great, great pain and distress, because he and she can't get back to where they were pre-2008. in terms of income, and in terms of opportunity. so, the republican party has a great opportunity, they haven't come together on it yet. but they can to say what do we do about the banks, and how do we make sure they don't fail, and how do we make sure that americans are, in fact, protected? this could become a great republican issue, because hillary clinton has already said i'm not rolling back what my husband did back to the '90s. >> yeah, i can hardly wait for that sound bite. >> absolutely. >> peter johnson jr., thank you very much. coming up a veterans day tradition, the u.s. air force honor guard drill team shows us their incredible skills next. first martha maccallum talks

about the skills she'll be using at the top of the hour. >> we always look forward to that. good morning, everybody. hey, steve, obviously it was a big night. so we can't wait to drill down on how it really went for these candidates last night. we'll talk to rand paul, who got back to his roots and scored points. and jeb bush, strong moments, as well. so how are these two gentlemen feeling this morning? they will join us to talk about that. we've got tucker carlson, jonah goldberg and more here to weigh in on how it all went and bill and i look forward to seeing you on this very special veterans day at the top of the hour. it's here, the first gummy multivitamin... ...from centrum. a complete, and tasty way to support... ...your energy... ...immunity... and metabolism like never before. centrum multigummies. see gummies in a whole new light.
