>> all right. where's the best place for a government to make sure $800 billion isn't going to waste? we're not kidding. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> howdy, folks. welcome to "fox & friends" on this friday. good morning to you. we have brought so many great guests in today. look at the big board over there. you have the star of the hit show "human target." he'll be here. geraldo rivera who has been a human targeted his entire life will be here live. they had all the talk hshow hoss and chris wallace from the

1970's. what's going on with that? is that a picture or oil pai painting? >> it's the same as the picture in your wallet. look at that. this is a house on wheels and look at how gorgeous it is. >> that's a camper? >> this is all the rage. >> people are paying $500,000 for campers. >> can't even go camping. >> glamorous camping. >> all right. >> ok. >> that's really -- >> so anyway, busy three hours. starting right now with some headlines. >> tell you what happened while you were sleeping. police may have found human remains of missing north carolina girl zahra baker. that's according to sources close to the investigation. officials will only say they found significant evidence at this point. they're not telling us more after that. last month, they found the 10-year-old's prosthetic leg as well as a bone.

no one has been charged in this case but her stepmother and father are both behind bars now on other charges. a routine training flight in florida ends with three people dead. the florida institute of technology's aviation program is now confirming one of its planes crashed and burned just after takeoff at palm beach intern airport. -- international airport. one passenger is alive but in critical condition. no word of what caused that crash. in alaska, incumbent lisa murkowski remains ahead for u.s. senate despite mistakes on hundreds of ballots. >> election observers have been checking the ballots with a magnifying glass at this point. joe miller wanted ballots with minor mistakes thrown out officials are allowing misspellings as long as the voters' intent is clear. murkowski has received about 90% of the write-in votes. about 60,000 still have to be

counted. and they're back on dry land. i know they're glad. and now the passengers aboard that carnival splendor are speaking out. >> conditions were really horrible actually. food was really gross. >> really gross. gross food, no air conditioning. and for a time, no flushing toilets. but some passengers are praising the crew for maintaining order. u.s. coast guard and the national transportation safety board are investigating what caused that fire that knocked out all the power and coming up next hour, one of those passengers will join us live. we'll find out what happened on board. those are your headlines, guys. >> all right. they weren't able to take a shower. >> meanwhile, fox news alert for you on this friday morning. president obama has just arrived moments ago, he landed tokyo's main airport. he wrapped up his visit to south korea for the g20 summit. >> wendell goler has the details.

hey, wendell. >> how are you, brian? here in seoul, leaders of the 20 leading economies agreed to monitor the trade imbalances the u.s. believes are slowing recovery from the global recession but they couldn't find a way to actually even things out, in countries that have trade sur mrauss in particular china to import more and export less so other countries have a larger share of the global market and create more jobs. the leaders rejected the idea of setting limits on trade surpluses and the u.s. and south korea failed to reach agreement on a free trade agreement that officials had hoped would serve as a model for other countries on how to share the wealth, president obama blames the restrictions on u.s. autos and beef. leaders failed to find a way to keep countries from spending the value of their currencies. artificially low to make it sell cheaper. mr. obama says china racked up a huge trade surplus by depressing the value.

>> it is undervalued. and china spends enormous amounts of money intervening in the market to keep it undervalued. and so what we've said is it's important for china in a gradual fashion to transition to a market-based system. > >> president spent almost more than an hour long one-on-one session with the china's president on that. meanwhile, the president has told trade ambassador ron kirk to resolve the outstanding issues blocking a free trade agreement with south korea in a matter of weeks, not mossnths. >> thank you, sir. he's been on a really tough schedule. >> wendell or the president? >> actually, the president was

handling a press conference, hop a plane and go to japan. disturbing news coming out of capitol hill garnered a prayer group. they've been meeting for 10 years officially since 2006. it's not the meeting that's of concern. it's some of the people. >> this is a story you will find on foxnews.com and it's an exclusive investigation. a look at over the last 10 years or so, who are some of the attendees and the guest preachers were? they've invited special muslim preachers in who were talking about the congressional muslim staff association and every friday during friday prayers, they would invite in different preeshz or attendees and you look at some of them and you realize does anybody does a background check? some of these guys have ties to terror. for instance, anwar al-awalah. the only american on the capture

kill list and he's had all sorts of connections through terror. >> you might ask how is it possible? how do they have official status? there are two congress members that are serving in congress now, they granted official status in 2006, the congressmen are representative key elements and a democrat from minneapolis and i don't know if he's from minneapolis. the second is muslim congressman representative andre carson, democrat from indiana. so they granted them official status back in 2007. >> what is happening down there, we know he was interviewed after 9/11 and pretended to be upset by and we did not know he was one of the most wanted men in the world. one of the guys confessed to training over in pakistan. i went through jihadist training. that's reassuring. this guy, he's forced to resign after calling for everyone to follow the jihad way.

>> yeah. >> oh, great. >> some of this -- yeah, on capitol hill. and this is an official organization. and it's interesting because you would think that organizations up on capitol hill and there are a lot of organizations, official organizations but there are very few religious organizations. this is one of them. not very transparent. talk to something like 25 different people and only one would go on the record and talk about it so there seems to be a little transparency problem because they were trying to figure out who exactly has spoken before this group and how many people have pattended and they were not forthcoming about it. >> is there any way to determine, what should they do about this? i'm sure the congressmen did not know they had ties to al-qaida or know that information. but if they do, now that they do, what will happen to this group? >> right. should there be background checks? what was their message on the pulpit, the same as if they were outside the building?

or different in front of the masses? meanwhile at 8 minutes after the top of the hour, they are calling it a burst of anxiety. that as david axelrod's comments to the "huffington post" about where they're heading when this comes to keeping the bush tax breaks in place when the lame duck session of congress comes back. that statement really disturbs a lot of people on the left. they can't believe the administration is giving in already, just two weeks after the election. >> yeah, so the white house kind of walked it back. we did this story yesterday talking about how axelrod had talked to "the huffington post" about how he would extend even the higher end bush era tax cuts temporarily. now, there are a number of -- according to "the wall street journal", a number of liberals who are going what? are you kidding me? you're caving on this? in particular, liberals are saying and some of the folks are saying if they're going to go ahead and do this, the administration has got to get something from the republicans like how about if you're going to -- if you're going to go

ahead and continue the tax cuts, how about an extension in unemployment insurance and compensation and stuff like that. >> yeah. >> so david axelrod said i'd like to walk some of that back. they say he cannot give permanent tax cuts. it's not fair. the republicans say we will not say middle class and lower class. you can have your tax cuts and the upper class, no. so he's going to hold his ground. when they're watching the president live in south korea, negotiations will start but i think david axelrod and i think as i said yesterday, we have to deal with the world as we find it. not the world as we want it. here's the thing. they could have dealt with the tax cut thing while they still had the majority. >> and before that midterm elections, they did not. something else they didn't work on, the budget where they had all the people on all the sides

on their side. great big super majority, they could have dealt with it. karl rove was talking about that last night. >> we are roughly five weeks into the fiscal year, going to be six weeks of the fiscal year and we do not yet have a budget. we have none of the 13 appropriation bills have been passed by congress. and sent to the president for the october 1st start of the fiscal year. this is the first time since 1974 that the house of representatives has failed to meet its statutory responsibility under law since 1974 in the budget resolution and the house despite these big democrat majorities and a democrat whose white house has been unable or unwilling to take up a budget resolution and pass it required by law. you were right. >> got to get a budget together like the doocy family does.

and let's talk about what's happening at the ritz carlton. there's very few things that you can back me up, more controversial than president obama's stimulus package. am i correct? >> that's correct. >> when it comes to where this money is going, a lot of people have some questions including the subcommittee looking over to make sure there's no fraud and abuse of that stimulus package. important thing to do, make sure there's no fraud and abuse. >> right, where are they looking to make sure there's no fraud, abuse or waste? they are going, ladies and gentlemen, to phoenix, arizona going to the ritz carlton. remember, the administration did -- >> working out well for the tourist industry at the height of the bailout and las vegas and stuff like that. that was very bad for business. some of the shots of the hotels where this anti-waste stimulus meeting is going to be taking place. here's the thing. maybe the government got a really good deal. maybe they got a really good rate on it.

why are they taking everybody out of washington on thanksgiving week, flying them out to phoenix to talk about government waste? it looks bad. >> do the families get to go as well? >> i don't know. whether they do or not, the golf course is steps away. 13 minutes after the top of the hour. let the girl do it. >> a mother wore a t-shirt to work to honor veterans day and she was sent home. we'll have the story. plus public debt has thousands of students writing. can a similar theme happen here? our next guest has a warning for us. >> we've got a flood. hits the road, the nose the angels start second guessing where they tread. ♪ cl 1-800-steemer

the streets in london this week protesting the plan to raise university tuition rates and cut funding as part of their plan to reduce a massive budget deficit and slash government spending. could this be a preview of america's future? here to talk about the uproar in the u.k. is british columnist james delapole. good morning to you, jam. he's author of a book called "welcome to obamaland." . we saw these pictures live on fox is before tony blair came through, it was all free. you want to go to college, it's free. we're going to go ahead and put you through it. >> yeah, margaret thatcher not personally but she paid for my university education. i went to oxford university effectively for free. but then, a disasterous thing happened. tony blair, you love him over here, we don't love him in england. he decided he wanted to not small people to go to college. when i was in college, it was 15% of the population. then it was 50% of the

population. all paid for by the government. can you imagine what that did to the national debt? >> obviously it skyrocketed and the reason there are those huge masses outside the conservative party offices is because they want to triple the rate. it's still pennies on the dollar compared to the united states stimulus. >> they are marching for their inalienable right to have their three years of drinking, drugging and whoring paid for by taxpayers often much poorer than these middle class kids. is that fair? i don't think so. >> here's the other thing, you say that while some around the world have this image of british education as being fantastic, it's not. >> no. >> and that was a consequence of this drive to send more kids to university. what happened was you ended up getting what you called mickey mouse courses being set up by these universities, wind surfing studies, golf course management, media studies. a survey showed that actually kids who had studied media studies at the university were

less valuable in the jobs market than people who had not been to the university at all. >> doesn't media study mean watch television? >> that's one of the things it very much means. >> can what is happening over there happen here? >> you have a much better understanding of people who ought to pay for what they get. it shouldn't be provided by the government. i hope that the tea party is through it, the anti-big government spurt, the anti-handout spurt will keep you safe from this disaster in england. we have a $7 trillion national debt. now -- >> our debt can beat your debt. >> i know it can. but you're a much, much, much bigger economy. that's rubbish. >> interesting stuff. the author of "welcome to obamaland." thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks a lot. >> meanwhile, straight ahead, they witnessed the assassination of john f. kennedy. two secret service agents here to tell their side of the story. they're here next. who blew the whistle on russian

>> welcome back, we have some quick headlines for you. a republican assemblyman from wisconsin is following arizona's lead. he's planning to introduce an immigration bill that allows police to check the immigration status of people suspected of breaking the law. and the child star curse has apparently struck again. the actor who played young eddie munster on tv has been admitted to a new jersey rehab center for drug and alcohol problems. butch patrick is now 57 years old. brian? >> thank you very much, ainsley. an entire generation of people will never forget where they were when they learned president john f. kennedy was assassinated. for nearly 50 years, the group of men who helped protect the president did not talk about the events of that tragic day until

this moment. joining us right now is the author of "the kennedy detail" and former secret service agent jerry blaine and quint hill who is also a former secret service agent. welcome to both of you. it was -- jerry, it was the trust that they had in you that made you go forward with this project. your job was to keep the first lady safe, right? >> that's correct. >> yeah, clint, that was your job. when we see that famous film after the shots go off, is it you that hops in the car? >> that's correct. >> what did you do? >> saw the president grab his throat, lurch left. i knew something was wrong. i ran to the car. the driver accelerated, i slipped. when i gained my footing, got up on the air. about that time, mrs. kennedy started up on the rear of the trunk. she was trying to retrieve something that came off the president's head. she didn't know i was there. i helped her get back in the

back seat and the president fell to his left into her lap. >> did you know when you looked at the president he was not going to survive? >> yes, i was quite sure it was a fatal wound. >> what was the first lady like? >> she was in shock. she was, you know, doing the best she could. she was covered in blood. >> where were you that day? >> i was in austin that day. i worked midnight shifts out of fort worth and we flew to austin and i was in bed probably about five minutes when we received word that the president had been shot. >> and your relationship with the president unlike the ones with eisenhowers that you really respected was not close, but with the president, j.f.k., he made you part of the family. >> yes, he did. general eisenhower as we called him was -- you could set your clock by him. very easy to protect and not have a narssist bone in his body and when president kennedy came in, he was wide open. so -- >> he knew your names.

you knew the kids. it was something very different. one of the things that bothers you, as i understand, if i'm not putting words in your mouth, people have made a cottage industry of the conspiracy theories. >> that's exactly true. >> what's the reality as you know it? >> well, what happened was a single shooter fired three shots from an elevated position to the rear of the motorcade, all three shots hit what they were aimed at, first one hit president kennedy. second one hit governor connolly and third one hit president kennedy in the head and that's the fact. rest of that is just theory. just -- unlike fact. >> and that day, was that your conclusion? >> at that time, i had no idea what exactly had happened. it took a while to determine what was the situation. >> jerry, you guys never got grief counseling and never went through anything. was it back to work, right? >> that's right. we -- there was no trauma counseling or anything else. we all had to go ahead and protect the new president and work twice as hard. >> and you almost shot the

future president, l.b.j., correct? >> well, president kennedy would notify the command post when he left the house. and he moved around the house in a certain way. this was the morning after the assassination about 2:15. i heard a noise coming around the house and there was a thompson submachine gun on post so i picked it up and injected a shell and had my finger on the trigger. and then when he came around, i recognized his profile. but it was close. >> it's unrealistic but i'm just wondering, do you guys when you sit around, do you think to yourself what could i have done? >> absolutely. it still bothers me to this day although i went back there in 1990. >> first time? >> first time since the assassination. walked daly plaza and went up into the school book depository and came to the conclusion based on everything, the street configuration, the building situation, the weather,

everything. that there was nothing more we could have done. >> and all the truth is here. not the fiction. and not the cottage industry of conspiracy that you talked about. clint hill, jerry blaine, thanks for your service to the country and thanks for your sharing your story. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right, coming up straight ahead, despite losing the election, the left is digging in and demanding that president obama stay with his tax and spend policies. where will that leave the american people? stuart varney is here and i believe he's going to talk about it. and a mother wore a marine t-shirt to work to honor her son for veterans day and then she was sent home. sounds wrong but we report and you decide if, in fact, it was. plus, forget the tent and sleeping bag. how's this for camping? talking about roughing it. you're looking at the master suite from glamping r.v. bringing glamour to the outdoors. happy birthday to my high school teammate, neil young.

hurt and she even chastised the police chief because he wasn't wearing a north face jacket. >> or he was wearing one. she works for columbia. he was wearing the north face. >> ok. now this is my time. all right. a mother from wisconsin wanted to make a veterans day tribute to her son who was a marine. she says her employer would not let her. listen. >> the assistant manager terry came up to me and said you are not in work apparel. you need to go home. >> cheryl epley says she was sent home five hours into her shift because she was wearing a marine t-shirt under her uniform. wal-mart said it was a misunderstanding and her boss tried to talk her -- talk to her about violating the dress code. but even if it was just a mix-up, cheryl says she should have been allowed to honor her son. >> to be able to honor him is what i should be able to do. he stood up for me. i should be able to stand up for him. >> cheryl's worked at wal-mart for 12 years. >> and a military woman gets the surprise of a lifetime when she

analyst andrew napolitano. >> has to do with 8:00 at night. good morning, guys. look, there's a misconception that freedom of speech applies everywhere and to everyone. the true understanding of the first amendment is it only restrains the government. if you work for the government and you make a wisecrack, you can't be fired. if you work for some nongovernment entity, a private corporation, a single individual, even a publicly traded corporation like we work for and your bosses are offended, unless you have a contract that lets you offend your bosses, you can be fired. >> well, you know, when i read this story, judge, i was thing ok. she can write whatever she wants. there could be consequences but it's just stupid. where's the personal responsibility? go bad mouth your boss with your friend. >> what she wrote was dumb but we have rules under which we operate. look at the juan williams incident. that was terrible what they did to him. but they have the legal right to do so. if you invite me hypothetically

to a party and now it's time at that party, i decide i'm going to disparage fox news. >> this would be very hypothetical. >> it couldn't be more hypothetical. >> inviting me to a party? >> word gets back to fox news that i said something to you about that. i can walk in on monday even though i said it on sunday and they could say brian, i'm going to let you go. >> i can throw you out of the house and throw you out of the party if i'm offended by what you say unless i'm the government or fox is owned by the government because the first amendment protects the government from punishing speech. it does not protect -- prevent private employer from punishing speech. >> here's what the employer actually said. they said the employee in question was discharged based on multiple serious complaints about their behavior. >> they always do that. they always come up with some other reason to justify the firing. they did the same nonsense with juan williams. they'd be better off if they were honest. she insulted her boss and for that reason, we fired her. that's a legal basis to fire

somebody. >> it's p.r., cyi. >> i have no idea. i don't know if you're allowed to say that. judge, tell us about what's happening on monday. >> "freedom watch" goes daily on my show on the fox business network that has been a weekend show since june is now monday through -- actually seven nights a week at 8:00 p.m. >> you're going to be exhausted. >> well, the weekends are going to be slice and dice and the best of>> great. >> and monday night, i have a 20 minute sitdown, one on one with governor sarah palin. >> that's going to be terrific. >> that's how we're starting. >> we're watching on the fox business network. thank you so much. i'll work on him inviting you to a party some day. >> and now, we got to say, i guess the guy you're going up against, judge napolitano, bill o'reilly. >> going up against? i'm playing basketball against somebody three feet taller. >> taking president bush to task on the no spin zone. >> i'm not a hater and so sometimes it's hard for me to understand why somebody hates somebody. >> more from that feisty

>> camping and road trips are no longer only for the rough and tough. there's a new trend that lets you hit the road in style and in luxury. we're joined by the president of the r.v. industry association. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having us. >> you're welcome. we're calling this glamorous camping and we've nicknamed that glamping. what's that exactly? >> glamping, it's glamorous camping. >> this is a prime example of that. >> this is a prime example. this is fleetwood discovery, 42

foot r.v. one of the nicest units by the way, we have in the industry. it's for folks who want to be luxury when they go camping. >> it's great. you can set up shop out here because you've got the cover. what's under here? >> check this out. >> that's so cool! au >> you want to be outside a lot of times and this is a great place to be. the tv is out here if you want the tv or stereo system. >> great for the football games. when i go to the game, you see all the r.v.'s parked out there. >> tailgateing is a great way to use an r.v. >> let's check it out. can we see inside? follow us. we'll go inside and show you. tell us what we're seeing in here. >> this is the cockpit of the coach. they're easy to drive. a lot of women drive these. >> drive these in new york city, by the way. >> it's pretty easy. >> really? streets of new york. >> come early. >> right, right.

>> come early. this has a diesel engine in it and gets pretty decent fuel mileage. >> how much does it cost to fill up one of these? >> it carries up 100 gallons much fuel or more. it will cost you $200, $250 to fill it up. >> the walls come in, you say. >> this has three slideouts in this unit. these walls come in so when you go down the street, it's narrow. when you get to your destination, you open it up and it makes it more spacious inside. there are several couches here and all of these couches make into a bed. >> they unfold? >> ok. little hide a bed. >> look at this. this is great. this is huge. >> yeah. >> remember when we were little, r.v.'s were a small little refrigerator. this is the size in your kitchen. >> this is the same size you have in your kitchen so a lot of cupboard space in a unit like this. you got a lot of places to put all your food. >> ok. >> this is a microwave convection oven. you can do baking and cooking in the microwave and you have an

oven right here. >> how cute is that oven? >> there's your stove. >> that's great. what about -- should we go back to the bedroom? how many will this sleep? >> this will sleep seven people. six to seven people. >> ok. i'm being told we're almost out of time. we have to keep moving, please, richard. ok, this is really nice! >> nice bedroom. king sized bed. nice, big closets. ok? and this will get you. there's your washer dryer. >> no way! >> ok, i don't even have that in my apartment. that's really great. how much -- how much does this cost, this r.v. cost? >> it depends on how you outfit it. somewhere around $250,000. it's a really nice one. >> most people who buy the r.v.'s, do they live in them permanently or own houses as well? >> there's both. permanent people that travel full timers, what we call full timers. there's more of those about nowadays. but most of the time people buy these and use them for recreation or use them with kids or tailgating. so it's a good way of doing it. >> reservations go up on the

campsite? >> absolutely. camps are up 10% over last year. all through the recession that we've experienced, camping has continued to increase. even though our sales in the industry have slowed down, people use their r.v.'s and go camping and it's one of the less expensive ways. >> if you can't afford to buy one, you can rent it, right? >> you contact the rental outfit. go to -- go to gorving.com and you can find out a lot about that. >> can you hire a driver? i would be nervous driving something so big. >> you could but you don't need to. >> that's right? all right. thanks so much, richard. we'll chat with richard a little later in the show and tour another r.v. something that's probably a little bit more affordable, right? >> travel trailer. that will be great. >> good deal. looking forward to that. thanks, richard. back to you guys. >> on the card it says rifrp around at the end of the segment offers her the r.v. for free. >> brian said to me during the commercial he'd love to use one of those. where would his butler sleep?

but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now, i can join the fun and games wi my grandchildren. great news! for people with copd, cluding chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, advair helps significantly improve lung function. while nothing can reverse copd, advair is different from most other copd medications because it contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help you breathe better. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems.

tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. i had fun today, grandpa. you and me both. if copd is still making it hard to breathe, ask your doctor if including advair will help improve your lung function for better breathing. get your first full prescription free and save on refills. >> well, good morning to you. it's friday, november 12, 2010. i'm ainsley earhardt filling in for gretchen this morning. what's funny about that? >> you were just outdoors. >> my hair is all messed up. >> you were glamping. >> i was glamping. guess what? they're back on dry land. we've been talking about that cruise ship. now the passenger stranded for days on the carnival splendor are speaking out. one of those joining us live in a few minutes. >> president bush entering the no spin zone. >> i can only explain to you -- no, you're wrong. i can only explain to you the decisions that i made. am i allowed to say that a

former president is wrong? >> more from the feisty interview bill o'reilly had last night with president bush. >> one step forward, two steps back. the president signalling he will extend the bush tax cuts for everybody. but now his fellow liberals are up in arms. what will they do to stop the president? "fox & friends" hour two for a friday starts right now! >> welcome, everybody, to the friday edition of "fox & friends." as you mentioned, ainsley just fresh off the s.u.v. not the s.u.v., the r.v. extremely nice. let's take a look at the big board, ainsley. i don't know if this is a surprise to you. >> i love this board. look at this. great guests here and my mother is actually in the green room so she's so excited. she woke up this morning and said who is famous going to be there that i'm going to meet? here's the list right here. >> that's right. mark valley, the star of "the

human target" made some big changes this season. he'll tell us about that. also -- >> he's that point guy, right? >> geraldo rivera knows a lot of guys at west point and will be joining us and cloris leachman keeps ticking. >> 84. >> she's a legend. >> fresh off a dancing with the stars. seems like yesterday and chris wallace who i'm sure will end up on that show. >> a matter of time. >> that i would pay money to see. i would love that. >> coming your way. we'll make it happen. >> we have lots of news for you on this friday. >> here are your headlines. police might have found the human remains of that missing north carolina girl, zahra baker, according to a source very close to this investigation but officials will only say they have found significant evidence. they found the 10-year-old's prosthetic leg as well as a bone. her father and stepmother are behind bars on other charges. there's reports that her biological mother has flown in from australia. routine training flight in

florida ends with three people dead. the florida institute of technology's aviation program is confirming one of its planes crashed and burned after takeoff at palm beach international airport. one passenger is alive but in critical condition. no word yet on what caused that crash. also, in alaska, the incumbent lisa murkowski remains ahead in the race for u.s. senate despite those mistakes on hundreds of write-in ballots. >> on this one. >> not counted? >> lisa musky. >> well, election observers are checking the ballots with magnifying glasses and tea party-backed republican joe miller wanted ballots with even minor mistakes thrown out but officials are allowing the misspellings as long as the voters intent is clear. murkowski has received about 90% of those write-in votes. about 60,000 still have to be counted. tough job. this year's rockefeller center christmas tree comes from a

ground zero hero. it was donated by peter acton. his property is in -- how do you say that, guys? i'm not sure where. it's about -- you guys have lived here a lot longer than i have. it's about 40 miles north of new york city. he was assigned to engine company 79 in the bronx and he's been a firefighter for 12 years. that's nice of him to donate that. look how big that tree is. >> i know. that's beautiful. and i think that is this morning right here in midtown manhattan. >> soon will be kindling. >> well, after christmas. >> right. >> you have to wait. the nightmare is over for thousands of passengers on board a carnival cruise ship. passengers are back on dry land after spending four days stranded in the pacific ocean without electricity. without toilets, and -- to flush and limited food. >> and one of those passengers, fellow by the name of monte robeson joins us from l.a. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you all? >> doing ok.

i understand you felt that this cruise might be doomed from the start. tell me what happened to the luggage cart. >> well, actually, we were delayed about three hours, the u.s. customs -- i mean, u.s. coast guard did an inspection and then all of a sudden that delayed us two hours. we're standing out doing the bon voyage wave and one of the luggage carts fell into the water and there's about 20 pieces of baggage that started floating around. so it was -- yeah, it seemed like it kind of was off to a rough start. >> when did you -- what did you experience in terms of the smoke that we heard so many passengers talk about? it was really bad. >> i got up about 5:30 that morning on monday and i was walking up the stairs and i kind of started smelling like -- i don't know. like an electrical fire actually and some burning rubber, etc. and the next thing i know, i see a whole bunch of people running

around with these oxygen masks on and tanks and i guess that's their fire crew and i said, you know, i'm kind of smelling some smoke and they said, yes, sir, we're checking in on that. and i decided to go back to my stateroom and i -- luckily, i hopped in the shower so at least i got one hot shower out of the trip. >> how did carnival handle all this? >> actually, if i could say something real quick, i want to thank the coast guard. they did a fantastic job. the u.s. navy, the little tugboat named chihuahua that was the first one that came out to tie on to us and start towing us away, i think the crew did a fantastic job their job was extremely difficult with no power. they had no -- no elevators to bring the food and water up, you know, for the higher levels of the boat. they -- carnival, the cruise line themselves gave us a full refund and then also a free cruise if we decide to take it. >> let me ask you -- why turn

down the spam? >> you know, we were never offered the spam but i was talking to the producer yesterday and i asked her if she could get some sliced canned beets, kraft cheese and put them between two pieces of bread and give you a sampling of what we had. >> beets and cheese and bread. >> when you're stranded in the high seas, you eat that stuff. >> oscar mayer people say that sounds great. >> yeah. yeah. >> we know that think did offer to fly people home. they're going to give you free cruises and your money back. but you got to figure if there are that many thousands of people on board, somebody's gonna want to sue. how about you? >> you know, i'm -- what can you sue for? they had an engine fire. and, you know, things happen. i don't think you can sue an airplane if they can mechanical damage. >> people try! >> all right. >> well, i don't think i'm one

of those people. i think the law is -- >> sure. you know, monte, people are going to say emotional distress. it was really awful being there when that all happened. >> oh, it wasn't a pleasure cruise. i mean, this no doubt wasn't the love boat. >> let me ask you something real quickly. three days, why didn't they send another ship out there to get you all off and send you on your way? >> well, good question. i just think probably just the logistics of it. you have to realize there's 4,000 people on that boat. so then you have to -- you got to get those two ships up and besides that, with no power, you can't maneuver that boat and my -- >> i'm sorry this happened to you. and good luck. hopefully your next vacation -- >> good luck on the next cruise. >> thank you so much. it's been a pleasure. thank you. >> thank you. mr. monte robeson joining us live. >> they're giving them cruise vouchers. i wonder if anybody else wants to take a cruise after that experience. >> one thing i have to say talking about cruising, when i went on a cruise, you could get fox news. if you were able to get power on

that boat as it was towed in by the little chihuahua, you had a chance to see president bush sit down with bill o'reilly. bill o'reilly was determined to talk about today's events and not talk so much about the past as it relates for today. here's an example as they go at it about the current government. >> most of the tarp money that we spent under my watch has been repaid. >> then why is the federal government now continuing developing -- >> you need to ask him, not me. i'm the retired guy. i'm the guy who has done my job and i'm now home in texas. i don't think it's good for a former president to be criticizing his successor and not only that, i don't want to be. in the arena. >> here's the problem for the folks. folks live in the country and your policies in eiraq, afghanistan, bleed over to 2010. what you started and what you were involved with didn't end when you left. it continues. so that people when they get an opportunity to hear you and read your book, they want to know

about the current stated of affairs. they don't want to say look, it ended when he left and now i don't know what he thinks. >> that's your job as somebody who is capable of getting people from the administration to explain the current state of affairs. i've written a book so people get a sense of what it was like to make the decisions that i made during my presidency. and beyond, that i'm happy to get off the stage. i'm very comfortable with this fact, bill. >> and so the former president was adamant in talking about what happened on his watch. but something that did happen was the financial collapse started then. and one of the contributing factors, fannie and freddie and here, mr. o'reilly needles him on that. >> your question is how come we didn't anticipate it? to a certain extent, we did and that's trying to deal with one aspect of the housing market and that would be fannie and freddie and i was unsuccessful at getting them regulated. >> but there's more to it than that, mr. president. with all due respect, did you see my interview with barney

frank when i called him a coward? >> yeah. >> ok. but -- because he had direct oversight of fannie and freddie. >> but see it's like saying how come you didn't see the sheisterss like madoff ahead of time. >> that's different. he's a private guy. wall street is dealing with the public sector. >> krauthammer it the best follow-up, even those people who resolved what was happening at wall street, who work at the firms, at almost the highest levels didn't know. he had kitchen table economic issues. unemployment, gdp, and economic growth. and he says he wasn't involved in that area of it. >> well, i know you've seen a lot of the former president throughout the broadcast world over the last week. coming up monday and tuesday at least on "fox & friends", we're going to have the sitdown that brian and i did the day before yesterday and he's got some stuff that we haven't heard him tell anybody else. it's a 500 page book and

there's plenty of really good stuff. that is a very funny former president. >> i was going to say. i've seen a lot of humor out of him in the last week. >> stand by. tuesday will be the dedication of the bush center at smu and we'll have that live as well. >> it will be down in dallas. >> yep. >> meanwhile, straight ahead -- >> he's the star of the hit fox series "human target." mr. mark valley. west point grad joins us on the show and how has -- hey! and how his time in the military -- put down that newspaper and listen to us, mister! >> he knows already. he's going to tell bus the military. how it helped him. >> we'll apologize for ainsley yelling at him. >> first, the white house says we wouldn't compromise on tax cuts and now some democrats very angry. our political panel weighs in. they're not angry. just opinionated.

so you think your kids are getting enough vegetables? yeah, maybe not. v8 v-fusion juice gives them a full serving of vegetables plus a full serving of fruit. but it just tastes like fruit. v8. what's your number? not sure what to take? now click on the robitussin relief finder. click on your symptoms. get the right relief. makes the cold aisle easy. the robitussin relief finder. it's that simple. i'm hugh jidette. i'm running for president. if elected promise our 13 trillion dollar debt will double, maybe even triple. i'll continue to ignore our spiraling

i'm hugh jidette and i say borrow like there's no tomorrow.

>> president obama just arriving in japan one hour ago. he's heading to the age of pacific corporation summit. wendell goler is live in seoul with the details. one leg behind. wendell? >> that is the final summit of this formation trip and the president will be looking for more corporation he got here in seoul, they couldn't find a way to ease them. the u.s. believes those trade imbalances are slowing the recovery from the global recession. making it more difficult for the u.s. economy to create jobs but on the other hand, the president suggested that just monitoring the imbalances is probably the most he could hope for given that the global economy has now pulled back from the brink of a depression. here's a bit of what he had to say. >> in the absence of crisis,

people probably are willing to hunker down a little bit more on some of the negotiations, speed seems less of the essence. people think if it doesn't get solved now, maybe we can put this off for another day. >> the president wanted the group here to criticize china for keeping the value of its currency artificially low to boost exports. wouldn't go along, some criticized the u.s. federal reserve for the purchase of treasuries which they say amount to the same thing since it lowers the value of the dollar. brian? >> you're doing a great job, wendell. thanks so much. meanwhile, back at home, liberal democrats are turning on the president and his administration. after signalling that they may temporarily extend all of the bush tax cuts. so did the president make the right move? with us right now to knock this

one around, former howard dean presidential campaign manager, fox news contributor joe trippe. freedom founder also served in iraq and project 21 fellow and fox news contributor, danine barelli. welcome to all three. david axelrod came out and played his hand to "the washington post" and said essentially the president is going to come off the higher tax bracket and leave the rates in place. why did he say it and walk it back a little bit later? >> i think it was either to signal the progressives that they were going to go for temporary tax extension, tax breaks, extensions or he played the hand too early and the president -- the president and the administration doesn't -- did not want to reveal that. you don't sit down with boehner and negotiate after you've said outloud that you're going to do it. that's probably a mistake. >> you saw him say it was a mistake. we haven't started negotiating yet or the lame duck get under way. do you think the president overseas is being served well by his domestic political advisors?

>> i don't think so. they're dealing with reality, the fundamental realities and trying to raise taxes at a time when the economy is suffering. it's not a good idea so they're putting out and saying we're not going to raise taxes. we're going to extend the bush tax cuts and move on to other issues that are more advantageous to us, more fertile ground that we can compete on but trying to argue for no tax cuts for the wealthy or anyone or de facto tax increase is not a good place to be so far. >> are you surprise ed? >> no, listen, it's outrageous that the tax cuts have not been extended already. they don't have a budget. they missed the budget deadline for a year. i agree with pete. they're looking to -- sorry, i lost my train of thought. >> no, they were looking to cash in on the consequences which is the elections they had and real quick, joe, is anyone in trouble for this? >> no, i don't think so. i think they had to telegraph to progressives they were going to do this. i can't figure out if it's calculated or a mistake yet but i agree that the -- the results

of the elections have sort of made it inevitable that this is going to happen. >> and obama is in a political vice right now. he's getting squeezed from all sides. >> i'm going to find out what you say in the break room and we're going to change topics. does nancy pelosi face more fallout of refusing to acknowledge the results of last week's election? controversial video game letting kids play soldier and looks like they're in the battlefield. >> is alive! ♪ express yourself ♪ [ female announcer ] the newest seasonal flavors are here. ♪ express yourself ♪ [ female announcer ] because coffee is like the holidays. it's better when you add your flavor. coffee-mate. from nestle.

obama, reid and pelosi coming back in leadership role, her coming back is going to keep the same face on the party. a lot of people, a lot of members would like a fresh face. in the end, she was one of the most successful speakers in history. you can't -- for better or worse, whether you like what she did or not. got a lot of stuff done. you know, so i think -- so far, no one stepped up to challenge her. you can't beat her if there's -- >> as a guy that fights the war and success for the vets. remember, pull out of iraq immediately the minute she gets in there. the c.i.a. they lied. is that the face of the party? things get past, yeah, but she has about an 8% approval rating. >> i don't think it's the face she wants. she's been denying reality and reality on the ground for quite a long time. the war in afghanistan can't be won. iran's seeking a nuclear weapon, we shouldn't confront them and in a dangerous world, we should

be growing what we spend in other departments but shrink the defense department. >> i was on this "time" magazine people of the year panel i nominated her as person of the year. because on both sides, the whole tea party thing, all of it doesn't happen in a lot of ways if she doesn't fuel it. she is -- >> she's only coming down -- >> it gets down, you can't beat her. unless these guys put someone up. those democrats put someone up. >> let's see what she says through the huffington post. they don't accept the version of what this means. it's not about rejecting what president obama has done. it didn't go fast enough to create jobs. that's what it's about. >> how can you have a party after all this? >> how can you be the most successful person in history when the american people don't like. >> it's simple. what they did was she did what

she thought was right for the country and there were going to be consequences. people put their careers on the line. i'm not saying -- >> we all know people didn't agree with that. the people didn't agree with that. what's important is that made people feel like she's not listening. like the democrats aren't listening, you know, because we kept going through, going through, so now i'm still running, makes people feel like she's not listening. that's part of the problem of her running again but to say, you know, for democrats to say she doesn't deserve it when they voted, when, you know, they voted along her leadership, got her -- did what she -- >> say it. >> it's like everything you're saying is true but if the consequences, if the consequences have you lose 60 plus seats in the house. >> yeah, the biggest loss in 60 years. you have to wonder how -- >> a lot of people would have voted against her are gone. all the people who are going to vote for her are still there. >> because she destroyed their careers! thank you very much. you could be a panel all yourself. thanks so much to peter and danine and joe, of course. have a great weekend, guys.

>> i know. >> her mother is actually operating camera one right now and -- >> it's you that -- >> if my mom was here, i'd ask her, too. >> how do you pronounce this? is the currency in china passed the juan. >> she's the human spell checker. >> this is my mom on the left. and then to the right is one of her best friends. wave, mom! come on. say hey. >> there you go. >> nice to have you ladies here with us. for pronounceation and as our fan base. we have some headlines. >> i'm going to start. we now know who blew the whistle on anna chapman and her fellow -- and our fellow russian spy. a double agent working for both the russian and the u.s. government. this according to a russian newspaper. they identify it as colonel sherbekof. >> ask my mom. >> i know, she won't talk to me now as a colonel for russia's foreign intelligence service. if it wasn't for that man, we'd

still have anna. he denounced the russian citizenship after handing over the information and now lives in the u.s. with his son and with his daughter. >> a republican man from wisconsin is following arizona's lead. don pridemore is planning to introduce an immigration bill that allows police to check the immigration at status of people suspected of the breaking the law. they hope it will discourage illeg illegal immigrants from moving to wisconsin. >> the actor who played eddie munster on tv is heading to rehab in new jersey. that's him right there all growed up. the 57-year-old has had drug and alcohol problems as long as he can remember. the munsters with the satire on munsters and "family life" there he is right there. ran three seasons back in the mid 1960's. i loved that show! >> let me tell you, hasn't had a job since the 1960's. losing your job is bad enough. imagine if being fired through a text message.

she says she was working at a daycare center in philadelphia until she got this message from her boss. it said -- hi, this is diane. due to your excessive absences your employment is terminated effective today. please don't return to work. good luck with your future. the owner of the daycare center said the text was meant to avoid face-to-face confrontation. you decide and tell me if that's ok. tell me about the weather. >> let's take a look at what's going on across the u.s. of a on this friday and as you can see, widely scattered showers all the way from the great lakes down through the central missouri and mississippi valley down through portions of north texas and we have some heavy thunderstorms moving through. there is a little bit of snow showing up on the backside of this particular storm system. it's currently dry in the east and out west as well. stand by, though. it's heading your way. meanwhile, the current temperatures, look at that. it's only 16 degrees in rapid city, south dakota. that's right. brrr. 45 in new york city. there's a little breeze and it feels much cooler than that.

59 in tampa and 60's across portions of texas before that cold front moves through. meanwhile, later on today, 70's along the gulf coast. some 80's in portions of florida, the ohio valley going to be beautiful with temperatures for the most part in the 60's on this friday. >> that's a look at the fox travelcast for today. of course, yesterday, was veterans day and we saluted all our veterans yesterday on this program and we know of one mother who did that at wal-mart. >> that's right. she decided to wear a t-shirt honoring her son. here she is and here's the t-shirt. united states marine corps. she wore that underneath that blue bib or the vest, whatever the wal-mart employees wear. and she was wearing that at work and was told to go home and change. she says it was veterans day. this is in honor of my son. take a listen. this is what she talked about in an interview with her. >> they really took me by surprise. and i just -- i'm in shock. >> to be able to honor him is what i should be able to do. i'm an american. he stood up for me. i should be able to stand up for

him. >> her son is just -- he's over in germany right now after serving over in afghanistan. and that is sarah who stood up for her son by wearing that and the wal-mart says it's kind of a misunderstanding. >> here's what they -- she said she was sent home. here's what wal-mart says. our management never asked our associate to leave their shift. they were merely attempting to engage in a conversation that apparently led to some miscommunications. we asked you to e-mail us about that. we got this kind of stuff. here's renee in georgia. she writes i'm a marine mom like the one on your show that wore the t-shirt to work. i disagreed she should be allowed to violate her employer's dress code. if she wants to honor her son, she should follow the example set by marines and follow the rules. >> wow. that's -- >> we were discussing that. right. all the different sides. you can see both sides. if you work for someone and they require you to wear a uniform, you have to stick to that uniform. however, in the military, we have all of our soldiers that are fighting for our freedom.

it's a tough one. >> right. let's go with the guy who once upon a time was in the military. you know him right there, mark valley has been on the program before. he's the show of fox's "human target." good to have you. >> where do you weigh in on this? >> with the t-shirt issue, i'm a little confused with it. she's wearing a marine t-shirt to work at wal-mart so she's actually violating the wal-mart dress code. right? >> you think she should have been sent home? >> oh, no, i don't think so. what if she went to work wrapped in an american flag and that's all she was wearing. you can say yes, she was representing our country, being a patriot but it might be inappropriate at the time. >> so dress code is dress code you're saying. >> i say for the marines, it's dress code but for her, she's working at wal-mart, i'd cut her some slack. she's proud of her son. why not? >> tell us what you think at home, we're curious to hear what you think. >> i'd choose a different color. the gray doesn't suit her.

>> great point. >> i would have gone -- >> that's the hollywood angle. mark, of course, is the big star of "human target" on fox. have you seen this guy do this? watch. >> well, i'm a big fan and i kind of like to wing it. remember one simple rule, everything is going to be ok. >> what is that? >> exactly what you tell you. >> oh, great. mark, your program has gone through kind of a little bit of a make-over. yeah. >> figure that one out. >> i don't know. i don't know what -- we're all sitting around the three of us thinking this can be a lot more interesting. >> what could it be? i don't know. you know? pretzels, food. i don't know. >> women, yes. we brought women on the show. >> why such attractive women? >> yeah, why such attractive women? >> it just worked out that way. the luck of the draw. >> good casting.

>> so you -- >> they're very talented as well. >> absolutely. >> and you're talented because you've got not only do you play like that guy on tv, you're military guy. you went to west point. you learned how to do that in real. >> yeah, actually, that was the -- our stunt people did that for real. >> i was going to ask that. >> it was their wedding anniversary and they jumped out holding hands on that wedding anniversary. >> glad we could bring them together. >> we did that in the army, but we didn't jump quite that high. >> you didn't hold hands probably. >> just got a true behind-the-scenes story. >> fantastic. >> how do we do that? >> yeah, you dug it out of me. >> fantastic. >> finally, i busted it out. >> how did you make that transition from west point, from military to you served in the first gulf war, right? >> yeah. >> how did you make that transition into acting? look at that, what a cutie! that's great. >> that's excellent. >> oh, my god. look at that. >> love his reaction.

>> i've never seen you -- >> you know, i've never seen him watch like i love this show. looking at this clip. i love that show. i feel like i can't wait to watch this series. who is that? >> yeah, who is that guest? i love that guest. >> i'm in the monitor! >> ask more questions. >> how did you make the transition, though? >> i was -- i was going to leave the army and going to leave the military at some point and somebody asked me to be an extra on a movie. i worked as an extra and i thought wow, i sort of want to join the circus and i took a look around and i thought who is having the most fun, still getting some respect and seems to be doing the least amount of work and i said probably the actors. >> but you did a one man show for a while. that's a lot of work. >> yeah. >> didn't the title of it involve whiskey? >> it was called "walls, words and whiskey." >> it's like why i went into the army. my uncle was drafted in vietnam.

and then walls is i was stationed in berlin when the wall came down. that was an interesting time. during the cold war and then afterwards and whiskey, wow, that just refers to that. an unfortunate incident that might have hastened me leaving the military. >> i remember you on "days of our lives" right? i watched "days of our lives" weren't you on "days"? >> who did you play? >> were you carrie's love interest. >> i was jack devereaux. >> that's right. >> part of the devereaux family, of course! >> long line of devereauxes. >> dan devereaux. >> yeah. >> man the dan devereaux. jack devereaux. >> have you read your resume? you're shocked about -- >> you're like i went to west point. that's right! >> you guys first announced an actor who used to play eddie munster and i thought i never played eddie munster. >> all right. check out the season premiere of "human target" on fox. it's coming up wednesday. >> wednesday, 8:00 p.m.

nice to see you guys. >> thanks very much. >> where are you going? are you leaving me? >> you're not done. >> wow. >> for a guy in the military, you don't follow orders well. >> why don't you read the tease? >> got to do the tease. >> no. all right. >> you want me to read something? >> yeah. >> go ahead. >> coming up, president obama accused much catering to the terrorist group hamas instead of allies in israel. what's going on? what's in students' textbooks. one parent found not one but many errors about the civil war. he's next. >> born on this date in 1982, this brooklynite wanted to be a nun as a child and despite an academy award nomination, was on the stage. who is she? >> you can't answer!

>> with peace efforts stalled between the israelis and the palestinians, hamas has spearheaded a movement to declare its love for president obama but some say too much love may strain u.s.-israeli ties. joining us is abraham foxman, author of a brand new book called "jews and money" the story of a stereotype. we'll talk about that in a moment. good morning to you. >> fine, thank you very much. you read that eric post item talking about how hamas loves the president. what did you make of it? >> it's not serious. it's mischievious. the only thing i want to hear from the hamas that they're ready to make peace and they're not ready to make peace. do we really care what chavez says about the president? it's part of their propaganda. what about a couple of days ago where they seemed to be lecturing them about the settlement. jerusalem is not a settlement, that's the capital of israel. >> this is something i don't understand. why this administration hasn't

learned from the mistake of its past. by raising this issue, it's keeping peace talks from happening. the issue is whether or not the palestinians are ready to end the conflict. they'll deal with settlements and deal with jerusalem. they're difficult issues but they're possible to be resolved. america can't resolve them by lecturing, by setting up key conditions, it only keeps the peace process from moving forward. >> let's talk about your book. called "jews and money." and that's what it comes down to, it's a stereotype that jews are wealthy and control a lot of stuff in america. where does it come from? >> originally it comes from tied to that jews killed the son of god. it's judas that sold him out for money. so the basic part of

anti-semitism is accompanied by jews and money. jews are greedy. jews want money. they want control so the conspiracy theories either says jews lust for money in order to get power. >> in your book, you talk about the history of it and where some of these thoughts came from what's interesting as well is anti-semitism is on the rise in this country. you would like to nip that in the bud. i was very much concerned of the economic crisis. all of a sudden, the economic crisis spurred on this kanard. jews were being blamed of what was happening in europe. one out of three europeans blamed them for what happened. in this country, one out of five. learn what it's all about. stand up. the joke isn't funny and they can be deadly. >> read all about it. brand new book "jews and money"

the story of a stereotype. thank you very much for joining us live. straight ahead, what's in our kids textbooks? one parent found not one but many errors in a textbook about the civil war. he is next. first on this date back in 1993. number one hit in america "i'll do anything for love." meatloaf. funny how nature just knows how to make things that are good for you. new v8 v-fusion + tea. one combined serving of vegetables and fruit with the goodness of green tea and powerful antioxidants. refreshingly good.

>> answer to the trivia question sounds like anne hathaway. it is. the winner is not anne. melissa gibbons won from cape cod. go say hello. knock on her door. >> all right. historians are taking aim at a virginia textbook they say was riddled with factual errors and the problems were found by a

parent. >> that's right. they're in the book "our virginia, past and present" which is issued to some fourth graders in the commonwealth of virginia. in it, a claim that black soldiers fought for the south confederacy, a statement many say has been debunked time and time again. >> historian and parent melvin patrick eely is a professor of black studies and joins us right now from richmond, virginia. so you found these mistakes. what would you like to get on the record to correct right now? >> actually, my colleague's daughter in the fourth grade brought home the book and it has many misstatements. one is that thousands of black soldiers fought for the confederacy when, in fact, 180,000 fought for the union. it states that the union went into the civil war to eliminate slavery which is not true. it states that many northerners were outspokeningly against slavery as early as 1800 which is not true.

i can go on and on. those are three big ones right there. >> why do you think the textbook got it so wrong? >> i think that this textbook was put together with the best intentions in the world. the state of virginia wants all racial groups included in the history text and they hired an author who is not a historian or was not advised by any historians who said she did research, much of it on the internet andic she probably googled african-american confederate and you can get anything on the internet. you can get good information. or you can get -- you can get the stuff that's made up to put across a political point and there are sites on the internet that will say thousands of blacks fought for the confederacy. >> i want you to -- by the way, i want you to -- so you're actually making progress here and they're going to redo it. here's a quote from the textbook. which you refer to. thousands of southern blacks fought in the confederate ranks including two black battalions

under the command of stonewall jackson. you say that's blatantly not true. >> yeah, i say that many thousands of blacks were involved in the confederate war effort as workers. skilled workers, free and enslaved blacks filled those roles. that thousands of blacks fought for the confederacy is both wrong and it gives a mistaken idea of what the confederacy was fighting for. >> here's a quote from the virginia department of education. >> it says after the error in textbook was brought to the attention of the virginia department of education, the department advised school divisions that the assertion that thousands of southern blacks fought as armed and organized confederate soldiers is outside accepted civil war scholarship and contrary to the commonwealth's content standards for grade 4 virginia studies. >> it's great that you brought it to everybody's attention and thanks for you joining us today from richmond. thank you very much. good job. >> great pleasure. thank you. >> all right, melvin. meanwhile, this straight ahead,

self-confessed jihadist and an iraqi leader both participating in weekly prayer sessions on capitol hill! those aren't the only ones with terror ties. the shocking details from a fox news exclusive coming your way and then -- >> could these be the new teen stars? the holograms? yep. they're selling out shows, guys. >> guess what? i saw geraldo rivera, can i get a -- >> it could be a hologram. that's a hologram. >> good. i thought it was real. hi. well, this is where it all starts at regions.

>> ainsley: good morning. today is friday, november 12, 2010. i'm ainsley earhart. a self confessed jihaddist and al-qaeda leader participating in weekly prayer sessions on capitol hill. those aren't the only ones with terror ties. geraldo is weigh not guilty on this shocking subject coming up from a fox news exclusive. >> steve: president bush entering the no spin zone. >> could only explain to you the decisions i made.

>> steve: the answer was no. george bush got him in a head lock. more from that interview straight ahead. >> brian: she's 84 years old and on top of the world, from tv comedy to "dancing with the stars," cloris leachman is here and doesn't mind i said her age. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: welcome live from studio e in the heart of manhattan. it's our friday show. look who we got in the center scare. >> ainsley: so great to be with you guys. >> brian: you know i wouldn't you are so happy? because you were just clapping. >> ainsley: this is what i rode in on this morning. this is my entourage outside. >> brian: they don't want to use puff tents, so they go in an

ainsley mobile, an rv, it's nicer than most mansions geraldo has bought and sold. >> steve: we saw it costs something like a couple hundred thousand dollars. >> ainsley: we can still call that gramming. >> steve: you can use that. >> i got my parents an rv when my dad retired. they hit the road. >> steve: hit the road. don't bother me now that you got time on your hands. >> brian: how do you know that? >> steve: i know that. it's in the run down. >> ainsley: let me tell you what's been happening while you were sleeping. police might have found the human remains of that missing north carolina girl, zahra baker, that's according to a source close to the investigation. officials will only say they have found valuable evidence. previously found her prosthetic leg, as well as a bone. no one has been charged, but her father was being held at the police department and her stepmother is behind bars on other charges.

they're also reporting her biological mother has flown in from australia. in alaska, lisa murkowski remains ahead in the race for u.s. senate despite mots of mistakes on the write in ballots. >> not counted. >> ainsley: election observers are checking those ballots with magnifying glasses. joe miller, he wanted those thrown out. officials are allowing them, as long as they say the voter's intent is clear. murkowski received 90% of those write in votes and 60,000 still have to be counted. big news about the world's largest passenger plane, the air bus a 380. rolls royse, the company that makes the engines for many of those planes is promising to fix the problem that caused an engine to explode in midair last week forcing that emergency landing in singapore. rolls royse is saying a faulty engine part is causing oil leaks

in its trent 900 engine. they're used on planes flown by qantas, live tan is a and sing president obama -- luftansa and singapore. they're back on dry land. now the passengers on that splendor are speaking out about their ordeal. >> this is really horrible. the food was really gross. >> ainsley: gross food, no air conditioning and for a time, no flushing toilets. one passenger who joined us earlier on the show, he said he was able to find the silver lining. >> i think the crew did a fantastic job. their job was extremely difficult. >> ainsley: the u.s. coast guard and the national transportation safety board are investigating what led to the fire that caused that ship to lose power for three days. those are your headlines. >> brian: right now, president obama is in japan, he's arrived about two hours ago.

earlier he wrapped up his trip to seoul for the g-20. mike emmanuel live at the white house. hey, mike. >> brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. >> brian: one goal of the trip was the free trade deal with south korea. it was supposed to be a lay-up. how did that play out? >> brian, clearly a huge disappointment for this president and for this white house going to south korea, not being able to nail down a free trade deal. today the president tried to sell it as, well, i just didn't want to sign a bad deal. let's take a listen. >> i'm the one who is going to have to go to congress and sell it. and for my perspective, again, i'm not interested in an announcement, but then an agreement that doesn't produce for us. we've had a lot of those in the past, a lot of announcements, but at the same time, we see american manufacturing

deteriorate and as a consequence, a lot of concern back home. >> the president says he's confident a deal will be struck that will be good for the u.s. and south korea, but one would have thought that would have been hammered out when he and president lee were sitting across the table from each other trying to get it done. but it's back to the drawing board at this point. >> steve: meanwhile, the president's trip continues this weekend, still a lot of focus on what happens on tax cuts when he gets home with the lame duck session of congress. >> that's right. another economic summit this weekend in japan. the apec summit. but the president still taking questions about what happens to those bush tax cuts which expire at the end of the year. he continues to maintain he wants an extension for the middle class and he says a permanent extension for hiring americans is not a good idea, but he said he was not ready to negotiate from seoul or from japan. he'll negotiate when he gets back to the white house. he's due to meet with republican and democratic leaders here at the white house next thursday. but all indications are he's

heading toward a temporary extension for upper income americans in order to get the middle class cuts done in a deal with the lame duck congress. >> brian: thanks. geraldo, for that question, the same to you. welcome to the couch. you have a solution. >> i wore the tie, so i would match ainsley. >> ainsley: thank you. >> steve: good choice. >> brian: you're avoiding the question, sir. >> i'm ready to grapple with this question. on the radio show you solved this problem. on kilmeade and friends, i have broken the story, it's huge. first of all, you have an obama sound bite in which the president as he has repeatedly, claims that the people earning more than $250,000 a year are wealthy, but he characterizes his tax plan in which the taxes are allowed to raise only for the wealthy people, the rich people, as a tax to tax millionaires and billionaires who don't need the money. here is the president.

>> the truth is that the way this thing works out, folks who are millionaires and billionaires who get the biggest breaks. and it turns out that actually the people who are most likely to use that money and spend that money are actually people of more modest means. >> now, here is the problem with the president's position. people who make between 250,000 and a million dollars aren't rich in many areas of the country. you live out in new jersey, $750,000 house with a $600,000 mortgage, two kids in private school, you're not rich. my plan is to hold the president to his word that this tax cut should only affect this tax increase, should only affect millionaires and billionaires. in other words, the people who make between 250,000 and 1 million, they stay at 35%, the current tax rate. it's people who make a million dollars or more who go back to the 39.6% that they made under president clinton. >> steve: those are the people who are running businesses.

>> let me finish. if you're earning a million dollars a year, steve, that's not a small business. >> steve: there are people who file their tax -- >> i think if you make a million dollars a year, you can't complain about being impoverished and you can't complain about your business being scraped. you got 321,000, 294 americans who earn more than $1 million in 2008. i say let their taxes go from the current 35% back to the 39, revert back to the tax rate it was there. that will net the treasury $21 billion a year. that's obviously over $200 billion over ten years, assuming their income stays the same. that's not the 700 billion that the president was looking for, allowing the taxes to raise above 250,000, but it's not church change either. this is a compromise. nobody can say you earn a million dollars, you're in any way being -- >> steve: small business.

>> you're making a million a year, you're not a small business. >> ainsley: you're making a billion a year, you can probably afford to pay a little more than that. >> i don't know. as i often say, as a man who has been serial divorce and has a lot of expenses over the years, to spend a million dollars, you really have to work at it and i think that those people can afford to allow their taxes to revert. we all made money in the 1990s under clinton when it was 39.6%. i would let it go back to the millionaires and billionaires and let everybody else go. >> brian: you can debate that at home. i was concerned by this, but not that surprised. it turns out on capitol hill, there's a weekly prayer meeting, official since 2006, it's like the who's who of bad islamic extremists. >> i am not as alarmed as you are. i share everyone's concern about home grown terrorism. that's really what the story is. >> brian: al-awlaki went there. >> i'll get to him.

but him and major hasan and knuckle head in times square, you have a lot of situations where our real fear, as we suppress the bad guys, the enemy abroad with the drone campaign and with the surge in afghanistan and with the activities of our intelligence forces in yemen and elsewhere and with the help of nato, the real fear is that u.s. born or citizen, naturalized citizens here will perpetrate violence. so the congressional staff association, the congressional muslim staff association holding these weekly prayer meetings, they don't screen the people who come in and it is a fact that anwar al-awlaki, shortly after 9-11, led the prayer session. ish mal royer, a spokesman for the council on islamic american relations was doing 20 years now because he admitted to taking terrorist training in pakistan, he attended and so did others with questionable backgrounds. the problem is, how do you weed them out?

how do you say if you have -- >> ainsley: his face has been all over the news for years. when they walk in the door, that's how they weed them out. >> the note ryity came later. >> brian: how about an f.b.i. agent in there? >> you don't think there are f.b.i. agents in there? >> brian: i color myself naive. >> i would say so. i would say every other person in there is an f.b.i. agent. >> steve: it's good. of the big number of americans who earn more than a million dollars, geraldo is hanging out with a bunch of them. they are talk show hosts, they are on the oprah show to celebrate great moments in television talk show history like this one. >> i was sailing with my family around the world, i was in the panama canal. someone said, hey, we've got this vault in chicago if you want to come open it on live tv. i said, how much? they said, 25,000. i said, give me 50 and that will

cover it. >> you got $50,000 for opening that vault? >> yeah. >> it was the highest rated -- still is, i think, highest rated special ever. it was empty and i was humiliated with my former colleague, but i did have those job offers. >> steve: that ran a couple of days ago. who were some of the iconic hosts? >> sally jesse, riki lake, donahue and all because it's oprah's final season. she brought all her former rivals in and we were drinking on the set, indeed. i don't drink very much. i did take a sip of the champagne. she played with my baby and she really treated my wife so well. >> ainsley: you said such nice things about your wife. >> she's a doll. >> steve: we'll be watching this weekend. great geraldo rivera. >> my tax compromise can work. >> brian: you endorse this. >> and i will make copies available. >> steve: bill o'reilly sits down with president bush. look at this. >> i'm not a hater and so

sometimes it's hard for me to understand why somebody hates somebody. >> steve: more on the president's visit to the no spin zone straight ahead. >> ainsley: you never know what she's going to say. we love her. cloris leachman is in our green room now and join us in ten minutes. >> steve: get the six second delay right.

>> steve: get this, the white house is apparently changing its tune again. president obama denying reports, the white house is, that he will compromise on extending the bush era tax cuts. >> brian: david axelrod said it. the white house tell ago different story yesterday. is the obama administration been completely derailed? what's with the mixed message as soon as one message coming your way now from eric bolling, host of "follow the money." >> this is big. >> brian: why? >> because this is the white house blinking. they blinked when david axelrod gave an interview to the huffington post. if you know them, it reads like

these liberal playbooks. we have to deal with the world as we find it. the world of what it takes to get this done. that's not the part. the part is when the headline on the huffington post says, white house gives in on bush tax cuts and then they further explain not just some of the bush tax cuts. all of the bush tax cuts. >> steve: temporarily. >> here, you have to do this. you have to pull up the card. forget geraldo, he's a great journalist, but he can't make a card worth you know what. $70 billion, that's the difference, that's what it would cost to extend the bush tax cuts per year for the upper level, less than 2% of the budget. less than 2% of the 2011 budget. you have to do this because these are the people that create jobs. >> steve: geraldo says, if you're making more than a million, they're rich. they can afford it. >> one half of the people making

over 250,000 bucks a year are small business owners. 70% of the new jobs in the country come from small businesses. you can not raise these people's taxes right now. they'll stop hiring and unemployment will stay elevated. but very important point is that this guy, howard fineman, he's been around a long time. he said, axelrod told us all bush tax cuts will be extended. something doesn't smell right here. >> steve: what will happen on your show coming up shortly? >> we're going to look at some of the interview with mr. bill o'reilly and former president bush tonight and a whole lot more. we follow everything. by the way, starting monday, we'll be on at 9 p.m. >> excellent. >> brian: cool. thank you very much. it was great to see you. have a great weekend. coming up, two very important

stories about christmas shipping. yes, shipping. a deadline today for getting gifts in the mail and one retailer doing all shipping for free. you have to hear who that is. >> steve: then you never know what she's going to say. the lovely, unpredictable cloris leachman dancing into our studio. come on in. you're next on "fox & friends."

quick headlines for you. today is the deadline for using the cheapest option to mail packages to military members serving overseas. if you want them to arrive by christmas, that's the cheapest way, you got to do it today. if you're willing to spend more, you can wait. the deadline for priority mail and cards is december 10. the deadline for express mail is december 18. get those in the mail.

and wal-mart dropping delivery charges for on-line purchases this holiday season. it follows similar moves by target and j.c. penney, but unlike them, wal-mart orders do not have a minimum. >> steve: with a career spanning over 60 years, which includes an oscar and nine emmys, cloris leachman is still stealing scenes, as mama on fox's -- >> momo. >> steve: on "raising hope". >> i talked to the judge and explained your mama is a teeny bit bonkado. she'll get rid of the 12 as soon as she does 12 hours of community service. [ laughter ] >> 12 hours? she's only awake for three hours at a time.

>> brian: joining us the talented cloris leachman, a veteran of the acting business. welcome. >> thank you. >> brian: did you mind me giving your age? >> why not. >> ainsley: when you look as good as you do -- >> i'm clean and i'm proud. i think if you start with being clean, that goes a long way and in my case, a long way. >> brian: so no drug, no alcohol. do you stay up late? >> why are you assuming all that? >> brian: you're right. >> steve: no red meat. >> or pigs, poor little things. i'm clean. i didn't mean i'm clean of drugs. i would like not to be clean. >> steve: oh, stop it. >> i'm very clean person. >> brian: you shower a lot. >> or take big baths and all that sort of thing. >> steve: tell us about "raising hope" that show where you were

licking that jewelry. >> i love "raising hope." i hope you get it as much as we feel it. i think everybody -- what are you making me up there? >> steve: yep. you do a lot of licking on the show. >> i keep licking greg garcia, who is the creator. >> steve: you lick the creator? >> i haven't finished the sentence yet. i just love him and i'll lick the back of his neck. >> steve: do you want to demonstrate on brian so we can see that. >> lean forward. >> ainsley: no! i love it. >> brian: i'm ready for another season. right there. it's been an hour since i've been liked. this is refreshing. >> steve: so weird. >> brian: tell me if you dispute

it. your co-star who you probably liked at one point says, quote, just out of her mind enough to be willing to try anything. >> correct. >> ainsley: and i understand you're the reason betty white became famous. right? >> i like to think so because when i was trying to negotiate a little bit of freedom from every single episode, we decided it would be good if i just did the ones that i'm written heavily in the script. that would be about seven out of 13. >> ainsley: this is the mary tyler moore show. >> yeah. so they let me go entirely completely so i didn't have to be there and that meant i could do other things. what's that? >> brian: that's you and ed asner. this is in the age of spinoffs. you had phyllis out of mary tyler moore and rhoda. why was that so much funnier? >> it wasn't. >> brian: oh, it was.

>> everybody got killed, either murdered or died. we had no more cast. >> brian: same thing happened to the rocky series burks it took six series. >> when i die, i hope you remember, i'm still here anyway. >> steve: you are still here. you're always a pleasure to have on the set because we never know what you're going to do. >> i never know either, believe me. when my foot was up on that table in "dancing with the stars," i thought, what the hell? what's my leg doing up on the table? my mind had nothing to do with that leg. it has its own -- >> brian: look at twow. >> ainsley: you look great. >> steve: that was fun, wasn't it? >> i gained half a pound a day. i think i really want to have a baby. >> brian: i'm not sure that's possible. we got to get our a team. >> i looked pregnant last fall and then i forgot about it. >> brian: we have some of that footage, can we roll it?

great seeing you, thanks for licking me. i haven't said that in a while. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: the show is "raising hope" on fox. >> we're right after "glee" on tuesday nights. i keep forgetting myself. write it down. i made sure to watch it last night and i wasn't on it. you show me how fat i am. >> brian: president obama enters the no spin zone to answer the questions about the state of our economy. make that president bush. but there was a lot he would say. chris wallace weighs in next. >> my name is wallace. i'm a wallace. >> steve: are you a fan of camping but love the outdoors? you should see glanping, how you can combine gram and camping.

>> steve: now it's time for us to join once again our old buddy, chris wallace who shares a name with cloris leachman who we just had on a moment ago. wallace is in her name somewhere. >> you know, i was watching her and she couldn't be more delightful. i was thinking that really the two most appealing people in

show business these days are cloris leachman and betty white and it's like they're in their 80s, they're not pushing for anything anymore. they are who they are and you love them for it. they're great. >> brian: the sense of humor from mary tyler moore both played out with those two characters and they're still funny today. it just shows as a human race, we have not evolved. >> steve: what? >> absolutely, mr. darwin. >> steve: are you, by the way, still damp? >> ainsley: did you see that, chris? she was licking the back of his neck? >> what happened? >> brian: not important. >> steve: show is over. keep walking. did you see bill o'reilly with former president bush last night? >> i did not. >> steve: we're going to show you a little of the action last night. here is where bush says bill o'reilly needs to ask obama about what's going on currently in government. listen to this. >> most of the tarp money that we spent under my watch has been repaid.

>> then why is the government, the federal government now continuing to bail people out? >> you need to ask him. not me. i'm the retired guy. i'm the guy who has done my job and i'm now home in texas. i don't think it's good for a former president to be criticizing his successor. not only that, i don't want to be in the arena. >> the folks live in the country and your policies in iraq, afghanistan, economically, bleed over into 2010. what you started and what you were involved with didn't end when you left. it continues. so that people when they get an opportunity to hear you and read your book, they want to know about the current state of affairs. they don't want to say look, it ended when he left and now i don't know what he thinks. >> that's your job as somebody who is capable of getting people from the administration to explain the current state of affairs. i've written a book so that people get a sense of what it was like to make the decisions that i made during my presidency

and beyond that, i'm happy to get off the stage. i'm very comfortable with this fact, bill. >> steve: so there you go, chris. the former president did not want to talk about what's going on right now. he wants to be like his father was and not castigate the guy in the chair right now. >> i can understand both points of view. bill o'reilly on one hand is saying -- i must say, i'm a little on o'reilley's side on this one. i certainly agree with the president that you don't want to be there second guessing, there are plenty of people to second guess the current president. the former president doesn't need to do it. on the other hand, one assumes he does care about a lot of these issues, whether it's the war on terror, whether it's policies, taxing policies, you would think, and i understand he feels if he gets into that arena at all, if he turns on the water, he's not going to be able to turn off the faucet. you would think sort of like dick cheney, that if you felt, for instance, that this administration was really wrong

in its interrogation policy of terror detainees, that you would find a way to weigh in on that subject. >> steve: i think part of it is he doesn't want to become a jimmy carter, who is bad -- >> brian: he called president bush 43 the worst president after, the worst friend, israel. >> steve: doesn't seem very presidential. >> brian: assume he's for the bush tax cut. >> as i tried to explain to brian every day when he calls me for fatherly advice, there is a difference between this and that. i mean, you can be somewhere in the happy middle. like getting your face licked on national television. >> steve: it was his neck. >> there is only one person i allow to lick me and that's my dog, winston. i don't know. >> steve: your dog is not a person. he's a dog. >> excuse me? excuse me! are? >> brian: by the way, i've seen other places that winston licks. i'm just telling you. >> it's all right. if it's winston, it doesn't

matter. >> steve: the former president will be on "fox & friends" monday and tuesday. we'll interview him, stuff you have not heard anywhere else. plus live from there's dallas, , the smu campus. >> ainsley: we know the democrats are upset about compromising on the bush tax cuts. they don't want obama to compromise. i know you're going to be talk being this this weekend. what are your thoughts on this subject? >> well, it's interesting, the cliche is that a gaffe in washington is when you accidentally tell the truth. david axelrod, who will be a major guest on our show, the senior advisor, committed one by that definition. you can see also senator tea party, jim demint will be on as well. axelrod told the truth, which is that they'll have to compromise. they don't have the votes to sustain their position either for republican ors democrats. and i think they're going to have to agree to a temporary extension of all the tax cuts probably somewhere between two and five years. our player of the week, jeff bridges, and yes, he licks my neck on the show.

>> steve: all right. the great chris wallace joins us from washington. you've got to go. apparently winston needs to be let out. it's time for headlines on this friday. former israeli prime minister sharon is back at his house this morning, though he remains in a coma. he has been in a tel aviv hospital since suffering a major stroke back in 2006. starting this weekend, medical teams are taking him on short trips home. they are preparing for the important of a permanent move and are trying to help the family adjust. >> brian: boeing insists there will nobody more delays in delivering the 787, the so-called dream liner aviation magazine says customers are being told deliveries are being set back another ten months. the company stopped test flights until it figures out why an electrical fire broke out on one of the planes over texas this week. it says ground testing will continue. take your time, get it right. >> ainsley: this is so interesting. might be the new way to have a

concert. concerts of the future, look at this. >> brian: finally. fake people. >> steve: what do you mean fake people? >> ainsley: in japan, thousands of fans are flocking to see these 3 d hollow grams. this one, she sings with a live back up band in these selling out concert venues. her voice is created by taking the vocals from a japanese actress and running them through a software program. >> brian: have we told the japanese this? do they know? >> ainsley: they don't know. they think she's real. >> brian: wow. >> ainsley: they're buying it. >> steve: would you pay to see something like that? let us know. we'll let you know we've got heavy thunderstorms all wait from the great lakes down through my beloved kansas. it's got thunderstorms moving through the celina area. through the panhandle of texas and oklahoma. look at that, there is a little snow and sleet showing up on the backside of that front as it moves through portions of oklahoma and texas.

it is cold out west. 17 right now in rapid city. 28 in missoula. memphis, 49. it will warm up nicely if you're lucky enough to live in texas. 70s the rule. some 80s through portions of florida, along the gulf coast, upper 70s. mid atlantaics, mid 60s. 62 in cleveland today, ohio. 61 here in the big town of new york city. >> brian: all right. passengers stranded at sea with no power, no ac, and now they're back on dry land. can they sue the cruise liner? >> ainsley: forget the tent and the sleeping bag. this is a new way to go camping, guys. it's called glamour to the road creating glanping. first let's check in with clayton and dave to find out what's going on this weekend. >> hey. that's the only way dave goes camping. >> no, i'm hard core, man. i don't like the trailer. give me a tent.

>> we have a great show coming up this weekend. >> yes, we do. president bush's debt commission has big plans to slash the deficit. it could mean big changes for your retirement, even what you pay at the gas pump. we will break down the proposals for you. >> plus, some say the commercial for the new call of duty black ops video game is twisted and troubling and belittles our soldiers. why they want the campaign cut off. >> students being turned away from the lunch line if their parents owe the school money. is punishing kids fair in that case? that much and more, to my knowledge, no licking this weekend on "fox & friends." 6:00 a.m. now. >> we can change the licking if you want. >> i hope not.

>> ainsley: passengers stranded on carnival splendor cruise ship back on dry land after four days at sea without electricity, bathrooms and limited food. we spoke with one of those passengers earlier this morning. >> you got to figure if there are that many thousands of people on board, somebody is going to want to sue. how about you? >> they had an engine fire and things happen. i don't think you can sue an airplane if they have mechanical damage. >> steve: people try. >> ainsley: yes, they do. do passengers who want to sue have a leg to stand on? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. is here with us. hey, peter. do they have a lawsuit here? >> they might think they have a lawsuit and carnival, from what i've heard, i've never been on a cruise, i know a lot of people that loved it, but once you go on a cruise in the united states, whether it's carnival or any others, there is a contract. there is a contract that says

for carnival, you need to sue if you want to sue in the state of florida, in dade county, that says that your damages to any property in your room is limited to $100. if you want to sue them for nonpersonal injury, you have to tell them in 30 days ask sue in six months. if it's personal injury, you better tell them within six months and sue them in a year and if you don't do those things, you're not going to be able to do it and you may have to do an arbitration and if you want a doctor on board, it's not going to be on a cruise ship because they don't guarantee it. and if they want to cancel the contract at any point, at the point of embarkation or do you remember the cruise, they can and the only damages you have are to give you your money back. >> ainsley: when do you sign this contract? when you buy your ticket? >> this is what you bargained for. there was a case that went to the supreme court that said the choice for carnival was in the state of florida in terms of place of being sued or having an arbitration and you have to abide by that.

you also agree when you go on most cruces that you won't participate in a class action. so a lot of people say, i'm in a class action. i think carnival did the best job they possibly could and i think they're smart saying, listen, we're going to refund the money and on top of that, we're going to give you a free cruise. >> ainsley: if they want to go on another cruise. >> the issue was was there an awareness on carnival's part that there was some defect in the crank case in one of the engines on this ship. but this is a new ship. this is a 2008 ship. the other thing you have to understand is that this is not going to be investigated by the national transportation safety board. the american board. this will be investigated by the pan mainian maritime board because this ship is registered in panama. americans who are looking for an american-based investigation with the best minds in the world are going to be part of a investigation in panama.

>> ainsley: we've seen with the airlines, we've seen the airlines bill of rights that was passed in march. congress passed that, protecting if you you're flying and stranded on a runway for hours on end. i wonder if we'll see that for passengers on cruise ships. >> i think that's a hard thing to do. it's been talked about in the past. we saw a couple years ago there are a lot of incidents on certain cruise ships that. seems to have subsided, at least in the news. i think that there is probably an interest in the industry in not allowing a cruise bill of rights. if you like a cruise, then i would suggest keep on going on cruises. don't think you'll be a litigant when there is a problem. >> ainsley: good to have you on the show. >> thank you. >> ainsley: not a fan of camping but you love great outdoors? this is my mom. mom, this is made for you if you're watching. then you should go glamping. first, let's check in with martha mccallum for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> i think i'm a candidate for

that. good morning. good to see you. thank you very much. coming up on "america's news room,," senator orrin hatch joins me, he wants to see health care repealed. the big question for the senate is can they pull over the new senators to his side? also amazon.com in hot water again. this time it's about pictures that could be child pornography. we'll talk about that with our legal team coming up at the top of the hour. we'll see you then.

>> steve: just like the griswolds. are you ready to hit the road? it may be this weekend. now there is a way you can bring a little bit of home and take your trip to the next level. >> ainsley: back again to show us a different type of rv, the

travel trailer, it's a present of the rv industry. >> it's beautiful. and a good time to go camping. >> steve: absolutely! or glamping. >> ainsley: this is the last one you showed us. it was $250,000? >> steve: that was an rv. this is something you drag behind -- >> this is towable. >> steve: let's look inside. let's climb in here. this thing -- first of all, if you got a big family, this is perfect, it sleeps ten people, doesn't it? >> this sleeps ten people. look at the front over here. you can see the queen size bed behind there. the bed is back there. fit for a queen. here is what's cool. this rotates. you can watch tv in bed.

>> brian: do you have cable? >> absolutely. this has everything you have in your house, trust me. >> steve: he's in the bed. that's just not right. brian, if you don't get out of there, i'm calling cloris leachman. >> this has a central vac. here is a neat feature. you see this big sink? one of the problems with camping, you want to wash a lot of pots and pans. this is a keystone premiere, called a bullet. one of the features, notice the ceiling. this is called an arc, this ceiling, for tall people, which is really good. it makes it feel roomy. >> steve: ainsley checking for the beer. >> ainsley: he's root beer. >> brian: are you losing the majesty of camping by having this luxury? >> absolutely not.

if you're sitting in a rainstorm in a tent, you'll be glad you're in this trailer. >> steve: you know who needed this this past week? those guys on that cruise. >> absolutely. >> ainsley: what's here? >> this room slides out. >> steve: sounds like we're inside an ambulance, doesn't it? >> look at this. >> steve: loom above it, we've got a bunk bed. and come to this side and you've got sleeping for one or two. >> that pulls out. if you got a nice size family, or you can bring the neighborhood. >> brian: if you want to hit a sibling, this is the best way. >> steve: richard, we thank you very much. >> thanks very much. >> steve: for more information, go to our web site. we'll look on the outside.

we got glamping, glamour parking.th >> ainsley: have a wonderful weekend. enjoy your day.
