the wings worth 41 grand. the ugly. this man gives cops a huge smile after being arrested for 70 mushroom plants in his taxpayer funded apartment. have a great day. see you later. bye. hello friends. good morning. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. the hunt for a terrorist. syed farook was planning another terror attack three years ago but backed up. who was he planning it with and what role did his mother really play? we're live with the latest. >> the story changes and changes. plus, donald trump refuses to back down from his plan to temporarily ban muslims from entering the united states. >> it's short term. let our country get its act together. we have to do the right thing. somebody in this country has to say what's right.

>> well the white house is attacking the donald's plan. and they're attacking his fake hair. the heroic moments caught on camera. an officer rushing people out of a building during the attack in san bernardino. remember -- >> try to relax. try to relax. i'll take the bullet before you do. be cool, okay? >> this morning for the first time hear from that officer and why he said he's no hero. by the way, mornings are better with friends. hi everybody. welcome to studio e. festive for the season. >> yes, it is. thank you. >> anna is here. elisabeth is off today. >> what's going on? big hour, a lot of things developing. >> we start with a fox news alert. we're learning now that the san bernardino gunman may have been

planning another attack for a number of years. >> wow. prior to his marriage. this as the feds get inside the information on the killer couple from the man who provided two of their guns. >> fox newschannel's will carr is live in san bernardino, california, with the latest. good morning, will, what do you know? >> reporter: good morning guys. this is the first time we're getting an up close look at the inland regional center where 14 people were killed, 21 injured. take a bird's eye view. this is a massive crime scene still. we learned that farook and malik may have been planning a second attack prior to the massacre last week. they're reporting that farook and an unidentified individual may have been been planning an attack in 2012 but got spooked because of the terror plans -- they had been planning this attack at least a year. then there's the money trail. fox news confirmed that farook got a loan for more than $28,000

two weeks after the shooting. that came from a peer to peer loan site called prosper. investigators trying to figure out if it was a stranger or someone tied to radicalism. >> they're looking at syed farook's mother. the daily mail reporting that she had go pro case, shooting targets and tools inside of her lexus. another key person, enrique marquez, he bought the ar-15s used in the shooting. evidently, he bought them back in 2011 or 2012 and then sold or gave the guns to farook. in the process, we've learned that he was converting to islam and may have been, we've kwon firmed that he was related to farook by marriage. while the investigation continues, attorney general lynch has come out and said there's no evidence that these two were part of a wider cell at this point. we've confirmed that their bodies are still at the coroner's office in san bernardino. no word as to they will follow

with islamic custom with their burial. >> will carr, live in redlands, with the latest. thank you very much. joining us on the curvy couch, dr. sebastian goreka. >> good morning. glad to be here. >> as we talk about this terror case on the west coast, what grabs your attention today? >> i think, many, many things. the details are getting that this is a well-prepared operation. we'd like to know where the go pro cameras are, but it's indicative of good jihadi trade kaft. they want to use it for propaganda purposes afterwards. more details about the wife that shouldn't surprise anybody. people are saying how could she do this, a 6 montd old child? this is established practice. in chechnya, we have the black widow. the best land siege, half of the operators were females who took the 800 children hostage.

you look at the moscow theater siege, those were female suicide bombers that went into that theater. this is classic jihad. >> i think we already knew that with their home being the arsenal, the way it was, with the ammo and the pipe bombs, there was premeditation. no doubt. what we're learning today is there could be other involved. who knew what when and what do we need to be worried about this morning? >> you're absolutely right. if we look at the bilking, the loan taken under false pretenses. we've seen this with isis before. kind of internet fraud. used to fund operations. they've made $100 million in isis from doing this before. the fact that we have the reports. they used masks. you don't use masks from you're a suicide attacker. that means you're going somewhere else afterwards and luckily, the local peace officers took him down. >> there's a couple of things. farook, since 2012, this is true, prior to his marriage, this guy is isis, al qaeda

inspired or pushed. she, an operative comes here ready to go. the marriage still passes muster to get into our country, along with 500 other 19 pakistanis. >> let's be honest here. i'm not interested really in whether or not there's an operational connection to isis in terms of abu -- al baghdadi sitting somewhere with a joystick. i don't care. what did they do? they swore allegiance to him. they shared his ideology. whatever the real connection is, this is an isis attack. >> doctor, i have to bring you to this question. what's next? what's in store for us. >> what about the man who sold the guns to farook was known to say after a few beers, there's a lot of muslims in our own backyard just ready to go haywire and attack. >> let's take politics and emotion out of it. everybody is afraid. relax for a second and look at

the facts. our company threat knowledge group is that threat knowledge.org, the report, all of your views, we looked at the facts. in the last 20 months here in america, we have killed or arrested 82 isis suspects. 82. al qaeda, isis, here. half of them wanted to go to abroad and be jihadis. 29% had no intention of going anywhere. they had decided best way to serve the new emperor would be to kill americans here. we published that report before san bernardino with one conclusion. if you just look at the facts, a paris-type attack is not a question of if. it is a question of when. >> sure. >> do not expect this to be the last attack in america by jihadi. >> that's one of the reasons donald trump suggested a temporary pause in allowing muslims into the country. he sat down on the top of his

skyscraper with barbara walters and he's defending his idea. here it is. >> do you regret your ban on muslims, which some people think is un-american? >> not at all. we have to do the right thing. somebody in this country has to say what's right. i have great respect and love, i have people that i have tremendous relationships with. they're muslim. and barbara, they agree with me 100%. >> are you a bigot? >> not at all. probably the least of anybody you've ever met. >> because? >> because i'm not. i'm a person that has common sense. i'm a smart person. >> doctor, i know a lot of what he is doing is politico, but let us ask about things on the political left. they say this stuff inflames isis. >> do we think they're going to cut our heads off more slowly or quicker? that's absurd. >> they're still out to destroy

us. >> what do you think about his comments? is he overreacting being that you see the intelligence? >> i understand what he's doing and understand the politics of it. there's two issues with it. it's bad for national security on one side. and we have to be smart. let's not have lots of syrians or iraqis coming here unless we can check who they are. if we can't, that's a problem. you shouldn't be coming in here if we can't -- >> put that issue aside. >> how are you going to test somebody's religion. will we test them on bible verses? how many americans would pass a christian test? there's a practicality. how do you do that? even if he was correct. secondly, one of the most important things in protecting america is insurgents we do get from the muslim community or from our allies in the region. this is going to make them just close down. >> dr. gorka, what about his larger idea, a temporary pause

on letting them in? >> reasonable. we have priests who can verify. we have christians, ancient communities who say this guy has been coming to my church for 15 years. he's a christian. if we don't have those databases, you can only vet somebody against a database. >> whose database? the syrians? are they going to give us data? no way. a pause makes a lot of sense. to say a blanket ban forever is not good. >> we did pause under the president's behest. >> we did this under counter. >> with the iranians. >> absolutely. >> think about fdr. >> right. this is a war as far as i'm concerned. this isn't just counterterrorism. this is a war. >> particularly when you're hearing the fbi director and the homeland security chairman and the house saying that isis is planning on infiltrating. >> dr. gorka, thank you very

much. 11 minutes after the top of the hour. heather has new information about the paris attacks. >> a third bomber who attacked the bataclan nightclub in paris has now been identified. 23-year-old fouad mohammed a gad was a french citizen known by terror officials. he was identified by a fingertip that was found inside that theater in paris. investigators are revealing that the man who planned the attacks. ab ud. he was killed during a police raid in a paris suburb five days after those attacks. well, two trainees are missing at this hour from an air force base south of georgia. the two students didn't show up for duty at moody air force base. they're being sought by federal authorities. officials say both men have been

distributing heroin and another caught sleeping in a patient's room. they all keep their jobs. how does that happen? we have the ceo of concerned veterans here. >> good morning sir. >> what do you have to do to get fired at the v.a.? >> apparently being a drug dealer, high on drugs at work, having relations with other people at work and sleeping in hospital beds that were meant for veterans doesn't qualify. here's the stunning thing about the revelation. this is just three facilities. washington, d.c., west virgini , maryland and only found out because of a foia request by a local tv station. i'm not saying all v.a. employees or most do this. these are random samplings of a couple of facilities over a certain period of time. that means things like this happen across the country regularly and there's almost never retribution at all. no one is fired.

they're shuffled around. >> we heard from the v.a. administrator, secretary that is to say, a while back about how he's going to crackdown. so many people died waiting for treatment at the v.a. he was going to fix all that. talking about second bob mcdonald. nobody really got fired for that. should have been hundreds of people involved in that. then you look at this, it's so simple, dealing heroin, drunk at work, stuff like that. who is protecting them? is it their union, the federal government or just the culture of washington, d.c.? >> yeah. it's all of the above. at this point, bob mcdonald blows nothing but hot air. he's not followed through on any of the things he was going to do on culture and accountability. they're being defended in every step and it's a bureaucracy and the process protects them. you have high-level employees that can be fired but secretary mcdonald chooses not to. even though he has a new power to do it, he wants to dee froud the government for $400,000.

at lower ranks, so many things protecting them. it's nearly impossible. we talked about the v.a. accountability act. it passed the house, pending in the senate. the white house wants to veto it. bob mcdonald doesn't want it. if you have to start firing people, that means you take on the culture. he's going along to get along right now. as a result, you have abject scandals still going on, no one fired, nothing changes. >> the reason we know about this is wrc in washington did this iteam thing. they they talked to a doctor from virginia who was retaliated against. he said people who blow whistles are a bigger threat to administrators than people who do really horrible things. >> they're the only ones who can get fired are whistle blowers. they get pushed out immediately. this is a mafia culture, it really is. this is, again, not just one facility. across the spectrum. as a result, you have v.a.

employees more concerned about protecting themselves than orienting out towards veterans and if i go across the country at town halls speaking to veterans, the frustration is just as high. things have not changed, steve. if washington doesn't wake up to fix it, there's going to be even more problems. >> let's hope somebody is listening and somebody does something. thanks for joining us from d.c. pete, thank you. >> thanks a lot. >> you bet. coming up, we showed you the heroic moments as an officer rushed to the scene in san bernardino. >> try to relax. everyone try to relax. i'll take the bullet before you, that's for damn sure. >> who is that? for the first time you hear from that officer and why he says he's not a hero. plus, you have go overboard every year on christmas gifts? financial expert rachel cruz joins us with what you should spend on your kids, spouse or co-workers because you know, you can't buy your love. ♪

probably going to appreciate that. >> next, co-workers, you say we don't need to feel obligated. it can go on and on and on, can't it? >> absolutely. if you're running out of money, don't feel obligated to buy something for everybody you work with. i received a gift of cookies and a note. that was my christmas gift for a co-worker. i loved it. get crafty, bake something, do those kinds of things. don't feel you have to spend a ton of money. >> i want to make sure brian and steve aren't listening. i want my present. >> too healthy for cookies he said. >> finally, do you have a great holiday gift idea to teach kids about money? >> absolutely. yes. we have new books out called juniors adventures. these kids cover everything for your kids from contentment to spending wisely to giving this holiday season. maybe a great gift for story time at night. great life lessons in those

loved. what the inspiration was for one of her favorite songs she ever wrote called "coat of many colors." this movie was set when she was 10 years old. in the parton family there was 12 kids. when it was time to have a baby, every older kid got a baby to raise. this time in dolly's life it was her turn to raise the baby. the pregnancy doesn't go well. that puts a crisis into the family. this is a movie you'll laugh as well as cry. i play dolly's dad. >> you were selected. >> she hand picked you because she said that you reminded her of her father. he had a great sense of humor, he was witty. you're going to have 12 kids too? >> he didn't go to school, she told me. >> dolly, do i see that -- he was a tobacco farmer and never spent a day in the classroom. she hand picked everybody. this little girl who plays her, she's amazing. >> done such a good job selling it. let's watch a clip. >> sure.

person. >> that's right. fighting -- that's our second season we're going to be making. this is a story told from the soldiers opinion, points of view from their own helmet cam footage from soldiers and marines. they're telling the stories for the guys that can't tell they will anymore. they're gone. so it's a powerful series. it will come out next spring. >> it's not a drama. this is pretty much a documentary. >> that's right. real soldiers, real marines, real footage, real stories. it's an important piece because we're going to tell the stories for the guys that can't tell them for themselves anymore. >> you really won over their respect. it shows in your movies. >> thanks. >> that will premiere on directv next year. we'll look for you on thursday on coat of many colors, the 10th of december. >> tomorrow night on nbc. >> that's right. >> ricky, thank you very much. >> good to see you. >> good to see you, ricky. >> tell dolly i said hi. >> if she's not on the roller coaster. at the top of the hour, straight ahead, president obama trying his best to stay out of middle east conflicts in the fight against isis.

how would some of history's greatest american generals deal with the war on terror? we're going to go back in history with an author who knows. a train conductor who becomes a chorus conductor all in an instant. ♪ silver bells >> i'm a conductor, let me conduct. this incredible christmas moment going viral this morning. ♪ words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air ♪

from the campaign trail to capitol hill lawmakers want drastic changes to the u.s. mission against isis. democrats and republicans, to crush their safe haven in iraq, in syria, in libya, and for good and forever. meanwhile the white house insisting it has the right strategy to beat isis. but is it working? after a year of airstrikes,

where are we actually right now? white house, on one side, pentagon on the other. what can president obama learn from the great generals of the past? let's ask winston groom the author of "the generals, patton mcarthur, marshall and the winning of world war ii." what a masterpiece. can you transport their minds, and put it into today's challenges, could they have handled the challenge of isis today? >> well, no, i can't transport their minds. but i can make a guess. and my guess is that, if they were in -- you know, still in the army, still running things, they would assemble a reinforced mechanized infantry division, or two if they had to. we have several out there, drawing pay, doing maintenance, doing training and so forth, and

that is about 15,000 to 20,000 of the toughest, most well-trained, well-armed soldiers on the planet. >> right. >> and they would go through this isis bunch. i hesitate to use the phraseology of general patton, because it's not for family consumption, but they would go through these people in about a week. however, you know, generals don't make policies. they don't make -- the administration has to make that decision. and, i can say that these people, though, we can make short work of the isis people. and i think that my personal opinion is that the isis is a very dangerous group of people.

what we had out in california last week will be with us for a long time. but it's a short, relatively unimportant hazard that we hope, but isis is a big deal. >> winston, i've got to ask you, back then did they have more respect for the pentagon and the war fighters than they do today? >> i'm sorry, does who have the respect? >> did the white house back then have more respect for the generals then than they do now? >> well, i would think so, back in world war ii, yes. they cooperated much closer and listened to them. today, it's -- politics gets in the way of all this. >> yep. and that's why -- >> and there we are. >> right.

hi, friends, good morning, today is wednesday the 9th of december, 2015. i'm ann ma kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck and it's a fox news alert. the hunt for a third terrorist. we now know syed farook may have been planning another terror attack three years ago but backed out. who was he planning it with? and what role did his mother really play? we are live with the latest. >> plus donald trump fires back at critics and refuses to back down from his plan to ban muslims from entering the u.s. for now. >> it's short-term. let our country get its act together. we have to do the right thing. somebody in this country has to say what's right. >> but, would trump's plan actually hurt our ability to

combat future attacks? we're going to report, you're going to decide. and, this as well, he's the train conductor, so let him conduct. ♪ silver bells >> what led to that amazing christmas moment, going viral this morning. i don't know about you but i want to be on that train. live from new york city, it's "fox & friends." hi, everybody, well come to studio-e. not only is outside new york city all decorated but we've got inside decorated. >> we can recreate what was going on on that train. ♪ >> yeah, we have a lot going on, yesterday out of everything that's within going on with this election cycle i've never seen a type of pushback and a pushback again from donald trump and everybody else so let's get right to the fox news alert. we're now learning that san bernardino the gunmen may have

been planning another attack and was supposed to happen, perhaps years ago. >> this as the feds get inside information on the killer couple from the man who provided two of their guns. >> will carr is live once again in san bernardino, california, with the very latest. will, good morning. >> good morning, guys. we're getting our closest view of the inland regional center today. this where 14 people were killed. 21 others injured. take a bird's-eye view. you can see this is still a massive crime scene. authorities have been work hg 24/7, and it comes as we've learned from the fbi that syed farook may have been planning another terror attack. that revealed through interviews with enrique marquez, who was farook's former neighbor and the man who bought the ar-15s that were used in this shooting. he bought those back in 2011 or 2012 and either gave or sold those guns to farook. now, we've learned that he was in the process of converting to islam and also found out that he was related to farook through marriage. so far he has not been charged.

but he could be critical to the fbi figuring how long farook and his wife tashfeen malik had been plotting. cnn reporting that farook and an unidentified person were thinking about a terror attack back in 2012, but evidently got spooked by arrests that were going on during that time period. also, this morning, attorney general lynch coming out and saying that there's no evidence that they were part of a wider cell. now they are looking at close family members, though, and at the money trail. we've learned raffia farook has been interviewed for hours by the fbi. the daily mail learning inside of her lexus authorities found gopro packages, shooting targets and tools. and we learned about that deposit that went into farook's bank account two weeks before the shooting for $28,000. we now know that came from a peer-to-peer loan site called prosper, authorities now trying to figure out if the person who gave him that loan was a stranger, or potentially somebody with radical ties. and as the sun gets set to come

up here in san bernardino we've learned the fbi getting set to meet with family members of the victims for the first time. that's set to happen just a little bit later this morning. guys? >> all right, will, thanks very much. will just reminded us that remember the morning after, there was a story out that the guys -- the killers wore gopro cameras. we heard that from everybody, and then the next day it's like, oh, no, they weren't wearing gopro cameras. there were no gopros. then why did they find gopro wrappers in the mother's lexus? and if they were wearing gopros, if, who's got them? >> yeah. and when they -- >> where's that footage? >> and when they pledged their allegiance to isis after the killing perhaps, wouldn't that be a time to upload the video? >> don't know. >> if that video was uploaded you know it's going to turn up somewhere. so we've got to find out. we find out that she might have been an operative and he might have been ready to go two years before he even met her. >> and the mother of farook, a lot of the focus of the investigation is starting to be

on here. >> that's who we should have been talking about over the last few days. unwinding this plot to stop the next one, but instead it's this. >> actually it all started with what happened out in san bernardino, california. donald trump two nights ago went on television at a political rally and said he is for a temporary ban of all muslims entering this country. well, i'll tell you what, if you were watching this channel or any of the champs, politicians hate the idea. absolutely. he, however, thinks it's a good idea, and he told barbara walters just that last night. >> do you regret your ban on muslims, which some people think is un-american? >> not at all. we have to do the right thing. somebody in this country has to say what's right. i have great respect and love, i have people that i have tremendous relationships with, they're muslim. and, barbara, they agree with me 100%. it's short-term. let our country get its act together.

there are people that have tremendously bad intentions. we have to be tough. we have to be smart. and we have to vigilant. >> are you a bigot? >> not at all. probably the least of anybody you've ever met. >> because? >> because i'm not. i'm a person that has common sense. i'm a smart person. i know how to run things. i know how to make america great again. this is about making america great again. >> not saying forever. saying push pause on this. and i think his concerns are, when you have these refugees coming from parts of the world where sharia law is in place, how do you make sure that you get only the good and the bad don't come in with the good, especially when you're hearing from the -- >> how -- >> chairman saying that isis wants to come in and infiltrate with the refugees and the head of the fbi is saying the same thing. so to your point that maybe we shouldn't be talk ugg about this. maybe we should. because it could potentially stop the next terror attack.

and that's what the doctor said on the program earlier, he said this isn't counterterrorism. this is a war we're fighting. >> one of the most important things in protecting america is the intelligence we do get from the muslim community, or from our muslim allies in the region. >> sure. >> this is going to make them just close down. >> but dr. gorka what about his larger idea? a temporary pause on allowing people from that area -- >> totally reasonable. unless they can be verified. we have priests who can verify them. we have christian, ancient communities can say yeah, this guy's been coming to my church for 15 years. okay well he's a christian. if we don't have those databases, director comey said you can only vet somebody against a database. whose database? the syrians? are the syrians going to give us data? no way. so yes a pause makes a lot of sense. but to say a blanket ban forever, not good for our security. this is a war as far as i'm concerned. this isn't just counterterrorism. this is a war. >> i'm not sure i've ever seen any blowback on everything

donald trump has said, his numbers go up. but yesterday david cameron came out in the uk, high officials came out in france, dave jol li, congressman on the house called for him to drop out of the race, and of all people josh earnest. not many people look for him to take the lead when it comes to this election cycle but out of everything going on, he weighs in on donald trump. >> let me just step back and say that the trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin of history like equality to it from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair, the whole carnival barker routine that we've seen for some time now. what donald trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president. >> so there he is, getting political. the nation's spokesperson not to be political there he's getting political. and taking a crack at donald trump's hair. >> getting in the sandbox and starting to sling. >> can you imagine if somebody on the republican side said something about hillary clinton's hair? the internet would blow up. >> yeah, you're right.

we do have new polls out we want to share with you. this is likely voter -- republican voters from the gop, new hampshire primary. donald trump with a commanding lead of 32%. senator marco rubio 14%. christie 9%. bush 8%. kasich 7%. cruz 6%. fiorina 5% along with carson paul at 2% and graham and huckabee at 1%. >> and it was not taken after the remarks. it's not possible. >> it was before. >> so we'll -- >> will it have an impact? stand by for that. there was one thing that donald trump did refer to yesterday, and he said that there is a poll out there that says that if he were to launch an independent bid, leave the republican party, do it independently, two-thirds of that big number would follow him. >> and by the way, that's where he could be heading. because the rnc chair yesterday, everyone was so outraged it looked like the republican party was pushing him away and he's not one to go away. >> and some are saying that these comments are a gift to president obama, and to hillary clinton.

jeb bush was one of the folks who came out on twitter and said that very thing. but just like democrats like to say that or at least obama likes to say that guantanamo bay is something that that inspires isis to act violently, and, and go out and take action, saying the same thing about trump's rhetoric. >> i'll give you an example. >> the president's speech fell short even for democrats. adam shift, senator feinstein both said my goodness why did he even give that speech? that's on page eight of "the new york times." that probably would have been on page one had donald trump's story not been swamping everything. >> he is the lead story on all the channels once again today. all right in the mean time, heather joins us. we've got some news about the terror attack in paris. about coming up on pay month ago. >> that's right. we've got some new information coming in about that. a fox news alert right now. the third bomber who attacked the bataclan night club in paris killing 89 people has now been identified.

22-year-old fouad mohamed aggad was a french citizen known by french terror officials. he traveled to syria two yearsation. he was eventually identified by a fingertip found inside that theater in paris. investigators also revealing the man who planned the attack was nearly captured ten months earlier by greek police. it's not clear yet how he got away. he was killed during a police raid in a paris suburb five days after the attacks. well, heavy fighting continues at this hour at kandahar's airport in afghanistan after armed taliban fighters stormed the city overnight. at least 19 people are now dead, including afghan military officers. nine taliban fighters were also killed. the insurgents also taking several people hostage at homes, and at a school in a residential area of that part of the city. the officials say the death toll may rise since the syria has still not been secured. well the clothing billionaire who cofounded north face and

(vo) get rid of cable. and upgrade to directv. call 1-800-directv. hi, friends. good morning, as investigators dig deeper into the san bernardino terror plot new focus is on the killer couple's finances. two weeks before the shooting, syed farook took out a loan for

more than $28,000. he then went through $10,000 of it, in cash, and made multiple transfers to his mother. so what does all of this mean to the investigation into these two terrorists? joining me now to break it all down for us to luciferouis ferr. a retired special agent at irs criminal investigation. louis, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> following this money trial, why it matters, we want to figure out who was involved in recruiting, radicalizing and helping this killer couple execute, and also potentially stopping another attack. so start from the beginning. this loan coming in, how did that happen and how does it work? >> well, the loan is actually a good way to keep the finances under the radar, under the suspect's financial profile. that kind of a loan would not necessarily have raised any red flags. what's important here now is to then follow on the issue pointed out, there was transfers to the

mother for $5,000 each, and in addition to that a cash withdrawal of $10,000. so it's important to then follow those leads, because it's been determined that for example the money coming into the account, the loan, is a legal source of business or money, or funds, so it's important to follow that trail to see where it leads, to potentially other sales or other people that may have been involved. >> right. and from your experience in directing up to 160 employees, i was reading these investigators, what is it that they're looking for in trying to connect the dots and see if there could even potentially be a larger american terror cell? >> well, that's precisely it. connecting the dots we're looking to see who else may have been involved. you're looking to see whether there's an international connection, whether it's strictly confined to a domestic operation. but nevertheless, following the money really gives you a very good profile of these people to be able to then also get leads, and to be able to develop

profiles to know that, for example, in the future what kind of law enforcement tools we may need, in addition to what we already have, to be able to thwart these attacks, and/or to be able to detect them and have the red flags being raised earlier than maybe in this particular case. >> and quickly, let's go to the withdrawals and taking them out in $5,000 increments so as not to raise any red flags. is that something that makes you think maybe regulations on this need to change? >> well, i would focus on the $10,000. it is not uncommon for people to want to withdraw less than $10,000, because anything over $10,000 in cash triggers reporting requirements which are in place, and it's a great law enforcement tool. but $5,000 -- >> i apologize we're coming up against a hard break but it certainly shows premeditation and potentially even more. luis rivera, thank you so much for your time today. >> you're very welcome. thank you for having me. >> have a nice day. coming up on "fox & friends,"

different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. that's why i switched from u-verse to xfinity. now i can download my dvr recordings and take them anywhere. ready or not, here i come!

relationship with a higher power. >> here with us now is the author of sand castle kings pastor rich and his wife pastor dawn. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. thanks for having us on today. >> thank you very much. i watched a clip from i think it's tonight's episode the premiere. >> premiering tonight. >> you're in the kitchen with your mom and your dad down in miami. and you're talking about, hey, i got this idea. because you're trying to build a church in scratch. >> you got it. >> and your approach to getting the young people is to convene where? >> well, our first gathering was actually held in a bar. not because there was a -- >> what? >> -- strategy, because it was the only empty place you could meet in. >> what was your parents' reaction? >> they were a little bit shocked at first. they're a bit more traditional. but they've always supported us and they're the greatest. they're a whole lot of fun on the show and a whole lot of fun in life, as well. >> it looks like it. here's a clip from tonight's program where you're talking to your dad about the difficulties of building the church from the ground up. watch this. >> this is really a huge undertaking.

he's never built a church before. he's never placed the first brick. hey, rich. just some thoughts from god about this launch. i don't think i'm making it clear to you how difficult it is. >> i don't think i have any other options. you know what i mean? i kind of feel there's one path here. one way. maybe i misunderstood where dad was actually coming from. that was not what i was expecting. if >> if you lose you're going to take a legacy down that has great meaning. >> and it's the family business. so you better not screw it up. >> it's very dramatic. my dad is the best. you know, my dad has been our greatest supporter, and i think the whole series is a lot of fun. really our reason in doing this was because we really want to try to reach people that would never go to church. i think faith is one of those things you don't just have to preach with your words but it's something that you preach with your life. whether or not you like reality tv, it's the language of our culture and we want to invade that space with hope, encouragement, so this is a positive show. it's a fun show. i think people are going to walk away happy. encouraged. >> the show isn't just about sundays it's really about how

your faith impacts every part of your life, seven days a week and we're praying that it encourages people. >> you've got a daunting task because you see those polls and they say fewer and fewer people are going to church and at the same time, a lot of people who do go to church are older rather than younger. >> sure. >> how do you get people in the pews? >> well, yeah, i think a lot of these polls, i really think that nominal christianity, that would be kind of a religious term in terms of i go to church because i have to go to church or i go because my parents make me go to church, i think that's staving off. but in our church we see an increase in people going i want a relationship with jesus. meaning i'm not looking for religion, i'm looking for a relationship with god. and in miami we just planted a brand-new church in the last 13 weeks and we've seen hundreds and hundreds of 20 somethings and 30 somethings coming through the church. >> it sounds like the bar thing is working. >> it might be working. we'll gather wherever we can gather. it's hard to find a place these days. >> absolutely. could you explain, in the intro

i mentioned you were the guy who officiated at the wedding of kim and kanye. how did that happen? >> yeah, you know, they're good friends of ours. kanye came to church a few years ago. >> in miami? >> in miami, yeah. i think they're on the journey of faith. they became friends and we were at their engagement and we got the chance, they asked us to do the wedding. we got to do a christian wedding. they've been good friends of ours. i came out with a book called sand castle kings and kanye did the artwork for the book. i just think that hey, in life, you're not going to agree with everyone in every area but we can accept people and partner together. >> it looks like a terrific show. it premieres tonight at 10:00 eastern, 9:00 central on oxygen. can also catch pastor rich's book debut called "sandcastle kings" out right now. >> absolutely. thank you. >> thank you. >> rich, dawnchere thank you very much for joining us. merry christmas. >> you, too. >> great. coming up on this wednesday, fighting addiction takes treatment just like any other disease. but a study shows faith-based rehab works better than any other program.

"b," 50%, "c" 75%, or "d," 98%? how much of the earth's snow do you think is in the northern hemisphere? >> they were -- we don't have -- >> 25, 50, 75 or 98%? >> i'm going 25.

>> i'm going to go 50. >> i'm going to say "a," too. >> anna? >> 50. >> it's 98%. >> oh, because of the north pole, of course. >> well -- >> it's mostly just ice. it's very dry there. you would think of it as being really snowy, right? >> i thought all the ice was gone. didn't it melt? that's what i heard. >> yeah. >> i'll be darned. >> pretty cool, right? want to switch gears now to the weather and go ahead and take a look at areas that are getting hit with a lot of snow early today and that's forecast to continue here over the next couple of days. and that is out west. anywhere from washington state down to california, and even across parts of the rockies. take a look at this forecast out here. we could see as much as one to even two feet of snow along the higher elevations. the other problem is going to be the rain. i think that might be a bigger issue in terms of some of the impacts because we could be looking at flash flooding along coastal areas of oregon, northern california as much as 4 to 6 inches of additional rain. keep in mind, out here it's been raining, it's been pretty unsettled over the last couple of days and this should continue

through at least friday of this week. otherwise, the one good news with this moisture moving in to parts of the western u.s. is that we have drought conditions, so we really do need that rain. we want that snow pack to really continue to build here in the next couple of months across the mountains. now, temperaturewise across the plains and also the eastern u.s., not bad at all today it's another mild one. temperatures could reach the upper 70s across parts of texas, and in the northeast, 52 degrees for the high temperature in new york city. not complaining at all. back inside. >> we will take it. all right, maria, thank you very much. with over 23.5 million americans addicted to drugs and alcohol, finding the right road to recovery is a challenge. with an 83% success rate, which is astounding, a program guided by faith has helped women with addiction for 47 years. >> the director of the faith-based facility the walter hogan home for rehabilitation joins us now for our series on addiction in america.

beth, thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> so what is it about your organization that helps people recover at a higher rate? >> it's faith. it's a faith in jesus christ. it's a relationship with jesus that transforms a life. >> well, tell us about where that comes from. >> that comes from what we do, when our women come in to our program, they're broken, they're hopeless, a lot of them, and we give them hope. we show them how much god loves them, first of all. and then help them to find their journey of faith, their walk with god, and begin to live that out. begin to live out biblical principles. >> so how much of what you talk to them about is regarding faith, and how much is standard rehab treatment? >> we do not -- we don't rehabilitate. we see lives transformed. and very little is talked about actual addiction. >> so it's all about faith.

>> it's all about faith. >> and it gives them something to hold onto and to cling to when they get back to their daily lives and all of a sudden things aren't going right, and in their previous experience they would turn to drugs and alcohol. >> absolutely. at the walter hogan home we believe it's a transformation of their whole life. a different way of thinking. a different way of living. everything changes. >> do you take into account how long they've been, their family's history, the type of drug or alcohol they're hooked on? do you take into any of that? >> we do a standard intake, and we are aware. but, i think that the reality is, is that these women, there's one common problem. and their lives have become unmanageable. and whether that's alcohol, or drugs, no matter what that is, it's unmanageable. and we teach them how to -- a discipleship program. >> what's the maintenance like for them when they do get home. i remember you have that mountaintop experience, you're on fire or christ, and you get

home and you kind of get back to your daily routine, and -- >> watching the housewives. >> we're a one-year program. so we're long-term. >> wow. >> so they live with us for a year so they really learn how to live life differently. and then when they leave, we hope they get involved in a local church, in their community. service is such a huge part of walking out of addiction. learning how to live a life of service, and helping others, and making a difference in your community. we have women all over this country. we have three facilities. one in new york, california, and las vegas. >> and the success rate is? >> about 83% to 85%. >> unbelievable. >> for those that graduate the program. >> if people would like more information. >> walterhoganhome.com. they can find everything they want. i just want to say that the president of fox news, roger and his beautiful wife elizabeth built us a dorm two years ago to increase our capacity for women. and they're great partners in our ministry. we believe that -- i believe that people can change. i'm a graduate of the program of

24 years ago. i believe people can change if they have a relationship with jesus, and they find hope again. >> they've got to want it. they have to -- >> they do. >> they have to have hit rock bottom and say to themselves, i need something else, and in this case you're standing by with open arms. >> that's right. that's right. >> fantastic. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> beth greco, good job. >> thank you. >> coming up on this wednesday, a popular restaurant chain under fire after 80 college students get sick at chipotle. we're live with the very latest, next. but down the burrito. >> plus the hardest kids to please on christmas day might be teens and 'tweens. but we have the hottest gifts that will not disappoint. that's so over my house. but first your trivia question of the day brought to you by aflac. born on this day in 1995 this gymnast helped the u.s. win gold at the 2012 olympic games in london. be first at friends@foxnews.com.

concern for chipotle restaurants, but this is an unrelated health concern. you can see the sign on the door, across the street at this chipotle in boston. not far from boston college. and it says it is closed. around it will remain closed for the time being. but instead of the e. coli outbreak that we've seen in other states, this particular issue is about norovirus. that's the confirmation that we've received from public health officials here in boston. but it sure has affected a lot of people. boston college saying in a statement that 80 people, including members of the men's basketball team, have fallen ill. now the public health commission has about 65 documented cases. so the numbers are going back and forth. but the bottom line is, people have fallen sick. they're trying to clean this restaurant up, and the health commission has cited this restaurant for multiple violations, including having an employee work a shift while sick. so they're zeroing in on that as they continue to work to figure

out exactly what caused this outbreak. chipotle for its part says it is limited to this one restaurant and it's working with those public health inspectors to figure it all out. live in boston, michael henrik, fox news. >> thank you very much. >> i ate at that chipotle when my daughter was at boston college. >> you're okay? >> i'm fine. >> i love chipotle. >> trouble getting in there today. >> not that one. >> coming up the hoverboard isn't the only hot chris mat gift this year. the perfect presents for kids in their teenage years and the between-age years. >> first in 1992 britain's prince charles and princess diana announced their separation. and in 1907, unrelated, christmas seals went on sale for the very first time in wilmington delaware at the post office and in 1965, turn, turn, turn, by the birds, was number one on the charts. i think the seasons turn, turn, turn. ♪

the donald's plan, and inexplicably, his hair. >> "time" magazine's a little bit of wide variety for nominees for 2015 person of the year. will it be bernie sanders? isis terrorists? and don't forget about caitlyn jenner? moments ago it became official, and the answer is -- none of the above. >> ooh. >> can you guess? >> you have a very short second because we're about to show you our animation and reaffirm our slogan, mornings are better with friends. well, the answer of who wins person of the year, is shocking. we will tell you in a moment. >> really? >> it's not -- it's nobody -- >> i didn't think this person was on the radar. >> really? >> stay tuned for the big reveal on that. we do need to get right to this fox news alert. we're learning that the san bernardino gunmen may have been

planning another attack three years ago. >> before he met his lovely wife. will carr is live in san bernardino with the latest. will? >> good morning, guys. this is the closest we've gotten to the inland regional center. take a bird's-eye view and you can see it's still a massive crime scene. investigators have been working 24/7 after last wednesday's massacre that left 14 people dead. and 21 others injured. and it comes as we've learned from the fbi that syed farook may have been planning another terror attack revealed through interviews with enrique marquez, farook's former neighbor and the man who bought the ar-15s used in this shooting. now we've learned that he was in the process of converting to islam, and we've also found out that he's related to farook through marriage. so far he's not been charged but he could be critical to finding out how long they had been plotting. reporting an unidentified person planned the terror attack in

2012 but got spooked due to some arrests taking place back then. also this morning attorney general lynch saying there's no evidence that this is part of a wider terror cell but they are looking close at family members, and at the money trail. raffia farook was questioned at length, syed farook's mother, according to daily mail inside of her lexus authorities found gopro packages, shooting targets and tools. also we've told you about that deposit that went in to farook's bank account two weeks before the shooting for more than $28,000. we've learned that came from a peer-to-peer loan website called prosper. unclear at this point if the money, though, came from a stranger or somebody who had radical ties. and as the sun gets set to come up this morning in san bernardino we've learned the fbi is getting set to meet with victims of the family of victims later today that's happening in a couple of hours. >> will carr live in redlands. thank you very much.

it sounds like the wife had been radicalized for at least two years. which mean, a year before she came into this country, she had been radicalized. good job vetting her. also a couple of days ago we heard from director comey of the fbi said that the administration felt they were not part of an organized cell or part of a network okay they may not have been part of a cell except their own cell but they were part of a network because what was revealed yesterday, that she was an operative most likely. >> steve, listen to this. there were 519 other pakistanis who married into this country, to a u.s. citizen, and got into the country, red flags are up all over the place, because that's exactly what she did. and she passed. how many others would not pass now that we know what we know about the red mosque she evidently went to, the people she was evidently around, and the fact that you could probably get her internet footprint pretty easily? >> we're also learning this

morning that enrique marquez, the gentleman who apparently bought two of those long-range rifles married into the family and so authorities are starting to look at him, too. remember he checked himself into a mental institution so they delayed interrogating him because of that. but they are questioning him now. >> why would he buy shotguns for these people, maybe because he's relatives. but he said this at a party that he was having, there's a lot of muslims in our own backyard just ready to go hay wire and attack. he didn't say, my brother-in-law. he said a lot of muslims in the area, who by the way, he bought guns for two of them. >> so americans are scared. that's why on black friday 185,000 guns were -- were -- were -- or background checks synonymous with gun sales. and that was before all of this happened. so we had dr. sebastian gorka on the program earlier, a terrorism analyst and he says that we aren't just doing all this as

counterterrorism, we're actually at war. take a listen to what he said earlier on the program. >> in the last 20 months here in america, we have killed or arrested 82 isis suspects. 82. not al qaeda, isis. here. half of those wanted to go abroad to be jihadis. they wanted to go to iraq or syria. 29% had no intention of going anywhere. they had decided the best way to serve the new caliph, the new emperor, would be to kill americans here. we published that report before san bernardino with one conclusion, if you just look at the facts, a paris-type attack is not a question of if. it is a question of when. >> sure. >> do not expect this to be the last attack in america by jihadis. >> haunting words. nobody in this country knows more about strategy and what they've got planned than that guy does. of course it was what happened out in san bernardino, california, last week that prompted donald trump a couple

of nights ago to come out and read a statement where he said he would like to put a temporary pause on all muslims coming into this country. since then, you know, the political theme has absolutely exploded. politicians hate the idea. although i was talking to some trump supporters yesterday, i asked them what did they think? they said it's extreme but at the same time, he's got a point. something has got to be done. they like the idea. >> well, he's not apologizing for his comments at all despite backlash from both sides of the aisle. he sat down with barbara walters and defends his ban on bringing new muslims into the united states. >> do you regret your ban on muslims which some people think is un-american? >> not at all. we have to do the right thing. somebody in this country has to say what's right. i have great respect and love. i have people that i have tremendous relationships with. they're muslim. and, barbara, they agree with me

100%. it's short-term. let our country get its act together. there are people that have tremendously bad intentions. we have to be tough. we have to be smart. and we have to be vigilant. >> are you a bigot? >> not at all. probably the least of anybody you've ever met. >> because? >> because i'm not. i'm a person that has common sense. i'm a smart person. i know how to run things. i know how to make america great again. this is about making america great again. >> so donald trump makes that statement and everyone runs around, most are condemning him. everybody wants an interview with him and they replay the interview over and over again. i thought mark teasen put it best, whether you agree with donald trump or not the white house has to be saying thank goodness for donald trump because they're not talking about that terrible speech that said nothing on sunday. the president's lack of progress and plan taking out isis on monday. instead they're talking about and on page eight talks about how dissatisfied democrats are with their president.

instead you're talking about what donald trump should or shouldn't have said. who by the way is by far the front-runner on the right. >> we've heard how this would be policed? i mean, a lot of pundits have said this was just an impulsive thing that trump said, he's obviously not apologizing for it. but so how would it be policed? i mean are you just going to tell a tsa agent when you go through customs or i mean i promise i'm -- >> because the visa would say iraqi or syrian. >> a religious test is that even -- is that constitutional? a lot of pundits are saying this puts aside the fundamentals of the united states. >> jimmy carter, i was reading online, did something similar though however during the iranian hostage crisis. with a few exceptions, for the most part he banned all iranians from coming into the united states during the hostage crisis. there were a couple of exceptions. and then i'm noticing on the internet machine, that a number of people have said well what about what fdr did back in the day? >> that's what donald trump said yesterday. >> absolutely.

>> and he's saying this is just pressing pause. this isn't a forever thing. >> that's right. temporary. >> so anyway i've got a feeling we're going to be talking about that throughout the day. in the mean time, we turn to heather who has got a fox news break. >> it's an update on the paris terror attacks. it's a new development we have just learned about. a text message helped police in france identify the third bomber in the bataclan night club attack in paris. 23-year-old fouad mohamed aggad was a french citizen who was known to terror officials. we are now learning that he traveled to syria two years ago. his mother then got a text message that referred to her son ten days ago as a martyr. well, she then gave a dna sample to police, and that's how they helped identify him. they found a finger of his in that night club. his father telling a french newspaper had he known what his son was planning to do he would have killed him himself. investigators also revealing this debate, the attack plotter

abdul hamed abaaoud was nearly captured ten months earlier by greek police. it's not clear how he got away. he was killed during a police raid in a paris suburb five days after the attacks. well the billionaire who cofounded the clothing companies north face and esprit has died after a kayak accident in southern chile. douglas tompkins was kayaking in patagonia when they capsized in strong waves. the 72-year-old was taken to the hospital by helicopter but he later died of hypothermia. he was known as an avid outdoorsman and conservationist. he is survived by his wife. >> >> and the nominees for "time" magazine's person of the year including caitlyn jenner, donald trump and the isis leader, also black lives matter just to name a few of them but just moments ago it became official "time" magazine's 2015 person of the year is angela merkel. apparently the 61-year-old german chancellor was chosen for her moral world leadership. she opened her nation's worlders to hundreds of thousands of

refugees and she's also managed europe's debt crisis. and those are your headlines. >> there you go. i don't know if the german people voted on that. i don't know if they would have voted for her. >> exactly. >> 500,000? >> their political leanings. >> there she is. the person of the year angela merkel the woman who is the leader of germany, and heather touched on it on the end, one of the things that "time" magazine writes is the reason they were saluting her was the way she managed, helped manage, europe's debt crisis, which is not over yet. but -- >> that, fine. but the refugee crisis, i'm not too sure that's going to -- i think she even backed out of that. >> we showed you the heroic moments as an officer rushes a scene in san bernardino. >> try to relax, everyone. try to relax. i'll take a bullet before you do, that's for damn sure. just be cool, okay. >> how do heroes like that get into that mind-set, putting their own lives on the line? we'll ask someone who's been in those shoes before, next. and hillary clinton might

not be smiling for long. more than three years after the attack on our consulate in benghazi, that left four americans dead, a new e-mail surfaces, and they're calling it the smoking gun. help could have gotten there. see rheumatoid arthritis like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,

think we need more cops just like him, actually. so, very proud of what he said. from the academy the first day they learn life priorities and their life priorities are hostages, citizens, law enforcement, and then lastly the bad guys. so he certainly knew where his life priority was. he was going to do everything he could to help those people inside that building. so i was very proud of what he did and said. >> so an officer, so sergeant an officer is told or any law enforcement officer your life is third most important in any one of these incidents? >> oh, absolutely. if you look back, what happened in columbine, that mind-set wasn't there. the first officers would surround the building, wait for s.w.a.t. to arrive. in that case it took us over an hour. so after that the model that we had was and started to teach law enforcement all across the united states, was, the first officers on scene through the door, contact the suspect, take him down, arrest him, bring it to a conclusion right there. >> and you say on average every 15 seconds someone gets shot.

so every second that goes by, someone could die. so you've got to be in there, but yet be somewhat measured on how you do it. >> oh, absolutely. and now the training is one and two-man response to the active shooter. what i mean by that is we teach the first officer the moment he gets there to get through that door, into that building or that school, engage the suspect, attempt to take him down if possible. at least divert his attention until more law enforcement officers can get there and take him out. >> so we see in four minutes the cops get there in san bernardino. we know what's happening with these school shootings. but yet we're in an era over the last three, four years especially where cops are not getting the respect they deserve. how do you handle that? >> well, every law enforcement officer goes through every day of his career that somebody says something negative to him. you just understand it's part of the job, and you don't think twice about it when you hear it. you know what your job is and what your mission is. and certainly what we've seen in

san bernardino, and colorado springs the week prior law enforcement is doing very well, doing their best to take care of this, putting their lives on the line and doing a great and fantastic job. >> sergeant graham, thank you so much for what you do and explaining what we just witnessed last week. >> thank you. >> all right coming up straight ahead, it's on track to become the hottest toy this christmas. hoiths the hoverboard so what made another one blow up? and duck dynasty superstar sadie robertson is here to talk fashion for a very good cause. she doesn't just dance. and she's helping military teams make sure they're the belle of the ball. that story next. that's definitely you. ho ho ho! shop like a pro at bass pro shops and basspro.com for great deals.

after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both...

turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

next year. as for the state board of education in kansas they did not make any decision yesterday on this. they've tabled it. they're going to discuss it. they'll probably vote on it, and we'll find out later if it becomes part of the curriculum for middle schoolers here in the state of kansas. reporting live from kansas city, kansas. back to you. >> interesting stuff. >> couldn't hurt anybody to go through that. it would take you two minutes to look at it, refresh it, and then you'll have the competency. >> coming up, sandra lee is here with her favorite christmas gifts of the year, including the one perfect gift for the person you forgot. it's an emergency gift. >> yes. if you can remember who they are. >> but first let's check in with bill hemmer to see what's coming up. >> we're playing that quiz when you guys were going through that. >> how'd you do? >> we did all right. >> did you miss joe biden? >> nice, morning guys. what we're learning about the neighbor in san bernardino, ash carter about to tell us how we will beat isis over there and at
