soldier in all of us but critics call that insulting to our troops. hasmless fun or treating warlike it is a game? >> jimmy kimmel is in there, we report you decide. "fox and friends," begins right now. your favorite days going up was a snow day and a snow day here on "fox and friends," the daughters of our producer here, and we are talking snow gear all morning from skis and poles to boots and pants. you bury the headline, a big pile of snow on the plaza. it is 60 degrees out here. it will be 60.

we have snow-making machines we created. >> and i will be getting a snow board lesson at the end of this show if you stick around for the next two hours you will be rewarded by seeing me attempt to stand. and slide. on flat snow. i think it will be a challenge for me. >> and it is tax increase season coming december 31st your taxes will go up regardly how much money you make with the bush tax cuts set to expire. >> president and the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, commenting on what this will noon and whether they are together on extending the bush tax cuts. >> here is the right interpretation: i want to make

sure taxes don't go up for middle-class families starting january 1st. that's my number one priority. for the families and for our economy. i will believe it would be fiscally irresponsible for us to permanently extend the high income tax cuts. >> our position in the house of representatives is we support the tax cuts for everyone but not an additional tax cut at the high end. it is too costly. they have been in effects for a long time and to not create jobs. >> so part of the reason they are talking about this is there are so many different plans out there. president obama's plan is to extend tax cuts, the bush tax cuts for families making $250,000 and less. >> and boehner wants to extend tax cuts to all. do not do anything in the

recession. but they are open to on extending it for two years under a plan and senator baucus from montana. >> mcconnell wants them temporary, and boehner wants them permanent and last option is through small business tax provisions. enough to make your head spin but the bottom line unless they have an agreement in the lame duck session your taxes will go up january 1st. senator hatch of utah weighed in on the president's ever changing position. >> the spot playing games trying to act like he is call that cares about the middle-class. there is not everyone who doesn't want the middle-class to have the relief and we need 750,000 small businesses thrown into that extra tax the president wants to charge and that is where we create 75 percent of all new jobs. it is stupid to not kick it over. the president knows. >> some democrats agree with

mr. hatch because they think the president has opened this door for a compromise, on "60 minutes," opening the door and democrats feel their hands are tied because he has spoken. a majority of americans are in favor of extending the tax cuts for everyone. look at this new poll? 12 percent want it to expire for everyone but 53 percent want to extend the tax cuts for everyone. >>alisyn: and in the previous poll taken before that, the number was only 44 percent of those would believe it should be extended for everybody so now that number has gone up in just the last month. i like to hear how they ask the questions if you, because people can believe the wealthiest should pay more taxes but if you and, do you want your taxes to go up, they say "no," so it is interesting to see how they pose it. >> and this is a theory of taking out between $250,000 and

$500,000, and up to a million so there it could be very confusing but we need to continue these for two years. >>alisyn: more news to report. the most prominent political prisoners is free this morning. pro-democracy leader suu kyi was released by the military in myammar. she was under house arrest for seven years and she is called the nelson mandela of that country. a group of would be bombers are stopped after trying to storm a major nato base in afghanistan. the attack sparked a battle that involved nato helicopters firing from overhead and state were reportedly killed and the taliban claimed responsibility. this is the second attack there in six months. a search for ten-year-old star a baker ending. police confirm they have found

her remains. >> with great regret i stand here today, i have been dreading this moment, early on in this investigation. >> police say the remains found this week are consistent with zahra. show lost her least leg to bone cancer and her father is being questioned in the case and her step mother is in jail on obstruction of justice but neither has been charged yet in her death or disappearance. >> two-thirds of the write-in ballots in alaska have been coupled and senator murkowski won 90 percent. so she is on track to defeat joe miller but that is not the end. miller sued arguing that under state law murkowski's name must be spelled correctly on the write in ballot and a court will mack a final cut next week. the most trusted pilot is criticizing new safety rules from the f.a.a., saying that the rules aimed at reducing pilot fatigue could have the opposite

foot of snow possible but it will be less than that. the highs are nice across the eastern part of the united states. new orleans will reach 78. so a nice day. but behind the front, temperatures are cooler, and 33 in minneapolis and a high expected to be at 50 in kansas city and west, 39 in denver. >>alisyn: the american center for law and justice is calling upon the justice department to investigate something going on on capitol hill since 1998, the weekly muslim prayer groups, sponsored by a congressman who is one of only two muslim members of congress. and they had the meetings and what has come to light there have been some questionable people attending the group. >> look at this rogue's gallery,

the extremist cleric who is now holed up in yemen, and who a lot of homegrown terrorisms have been reading and watching his youtube messages and people have been radicalized as a result of him. >> and not just him but all of the people with extremist views have been tied to this group including the head of a designated terrorist groups, people praying on capitol hill and sanctioned by congress, and the group, a conservative group, is calling the department of justice to investigate this. there is no oversight of who is praying on capitol hill. >>alisyn: they say the group council on american islamic relations have organized some of the speakers to the group. so, of course they suggest they have not checked them out.

aliwaki is the most shocking. it is not known when he is reported to attend, we assume it was around 2001 before he was public enemy number one or two. >> and the idea that the f.b.i. agents are in there watching these files and you are aware of where they are, right? you are watching these questionable people and you have them under a roof, is that helpful? we can track them and we know where they are? they are having weekly meeting. >> a student told to take the american flag off of his bicycle by his school to avoid racial attention but now it may fly after all and we will tell you why ahead. stay tuned. !

>>alisyn: president obama is at an official dinner in japan and now our reporter from japan. what is the latest? >>reporter: the president making clear here he is not giving up his push to balance the global trade despite the set back he received at the summit in seoul the president pushing something called the traps pacific partnership aiming to win back the share of the export market the u.s. lost in this area mostly to china. in a speech to business leaders the president repeated the warning that the american consumer will not finance the global economic recovery. >> we see the need for rebalancing is an opportunity to

rebuild the economy on a new stronger foundation for growth. we save more. we spend less. we are not known just for what we consume but for what we produce. we want to get back to doing what america is known for: scoffing, creating and building the products that are sold all over the world. chinese president says his country will seek more balanced trade and gradually adjust the value of the currency which the u.s. believes is kept low to make chinese goods cheaper but the president and the other leaders watched japanese dance drama dating from the early 16 hundred's, and this summit, the economic cooperation, is known for showcasing the culture of the host and it is, however, back to work on sunday, the last difficult of the president's trip that began with the announcement of $10 billion in

new u.s. exports to india but is ening without the korean american free tray agreement that the president wanted or a mcfilm for holding back china exports. the president denies he struck out on this trip and he says work on those things continue. you cannot always hit home runs sometimes just singles. >> thank you and nor for the dance theater. >> how appropriate. stuck on a cruise ship with no electricity or bathrooms the passengers got laughs. donna created a special version of a song of gilligan's island. they join us this morning. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. what an adventure you endured. tell us why did you come up with the new theme for gilligan's i'll. >> i woke up on tuesday among with a song tune in my head and

some thoughts on the cruise. >> so, joe, we will have you it is back and watch your wife, or are you both going to sing? here is the song you wrote to the theme of gilligan's island based on your trip on the carnival splendor. >> the cruise started late because of a check and on board we had fun this laughed until the power blew on one day return. a one day return. the power blew because of a smoke fire, the toilets did not work, our food was vegetables and fruit on a two day return. a two day return. fantastic. i loved that.

now it sounds like you had a right spin but you found some humor through this. >> we did. we also had fun with our friends. we had other couples that were with us, we were able to spend some good quality time together because there was nothing else to do. >> you were singing songs. what was the response, so wrote this for your friends? >> for the friends on the cruise. i wrote it for temperature to make them laugh. we had a lot of time and we had a lot of laughing so it was fun. >> was everyone laughing? was there a mood among the folks? most of the people laughing as a result of this? >>guest: there was more to the song and they created more as the day drew on and we were up on the deck singing it and some groups in the, behind us that

were having a horrible time and they did not laugh at all but there were sell other people that had a good time with us and we lightened the atmosphere. >> you sure did, good for you. last question they coughed your costs offered a free cruise in the future. will you take that? >>guest: probably later, right now we are trying to adjust to getting back home and being on dry land. maybe we will. >>guest: not any time soon. i will consider it in a year. as a door prize we will send you a case of spam.

>>alisyn: students in new jersey could go hungry at lunch because if parents owe the school $50 or more their kids are turned away from the lunch line. is it fair to punish kids for parents' debt. and we have a producer of a policemen and we reached out to

the school district but they did not return our calls. allowing kids to go hungry because their parents owe money? that does not strike many as the right response. >>guest: after the gilligan's theme song i was hoping for welcome back kotter. this has been a policy of no consequences crowd winning out. if you don't have, this is not free and reduced lunch kids but whose parents who have enough to pay and if they do not have the money, and they borrow $10 from the school, that is okay, $20 okay, $30 okay but the new rule says if you borrowed $50 of free lunches and you have enough money to pay, your parents do, we will cut off. for more. we have to say, borrow some from your friends. >>alisyn: i don't remember being able to borrow money from my school district but we should

say this is a school district that 86 percent of the students come from homes where they qualify for the lunch subsidy program so you can asue the other houses are not rolling in money, either. so, ties are tough. and everyone is pinching pennies. is it okay to punish the children if the parents are not make good on their debt? >> if this, say this policy was in effect and you can borrow endlessly when you did not have lunch money, just borrow. what kind of lesson does that team kids about consequences? second, why would they then not blow your money on candy bars in the morning because you know you can daughter lunch money from the school any day of the year. >> are you suggests kids come to school with money, blow it on candy bars and are not buying their lunch? >> i have not done a scientific survey on the candy bar blowing out money but my guess is in the money is free for everyone, even

those who pay, the odds you will be careful before lunch is low. >> you like this idea and you think it teaches the kids responsible but we have heard studies of kids are not supposed to be hungry, it does not help their grade or mood. >> what adult watching this has this plan when we were kids you could borrow and get free lunches. on the other hand you should teach consequences to kids. if they do not have the money for lunch because they forgot it or they have blown it on soda or candy, they have to borrow from friends and maybe pay back the next day. that is a good lesson. >> the producer of "cartel," coming out december 1st on dvd. al qaeda has a neuterror -- a terror mission to attack the

always has to prosper at the expense of another. if we work together and act together, strengthening our economic ties can be a win-win for all of our nations. >> the president is back in washington tomorrow and he is set to sit down with republican and democratic leaders to hammer out a deal on taxes. the pressure is on to avoid a jam. the huge question: how far is obama willing to move. >>alisyn: thank you. >> a tough start to the new year if your taxes go up january 1. and nancy pelosi is not giving up the leadership in the house. and she is staying aboard as the minority leader. will she dig in her heels and not compromise with republicans on this issue. here is what she said this past week on the future of the bush tax cuts expiring december 31. >> our position is we support

the tax cuts for the -- for everyone. it is too costly for tax cuts at the high end. they did not create jobs. >> there are different plans floated around and there is a theory, a lot of democrats who think they may have cut a dole. they may have a deal if place and there is posturing going on. president obama on the last, said he wants to extend tax cuts for those making $250,000 and under. and representative boehner who will be, the speaker designate, extend tax cuts to all and don't touch any of them possibly with a two year provision for letting them expire. >> and senator baucus has a plan to, something about strip small business tax provision because everyone is concerned the feeling is $250,000 could sounds like a lot for a family or for individual but lots of small

businesses fall under that and the reason this is reached this fever pitch because a top advisor gave an interview where he sounded as the president and white house could be open to extending the tax cuts for everyone if on a temporary basis so he had to walk that back. >> left went nuts when they heard that. they were not happy. >> president obama opened the door before axelrod said that. >> and year the president in seoul said he was trying to clarify his position but it to not clarify it, perhaps we have that clip. >> it did not please senator hatch of utah. here is what he said how the president is evolving on the tax cut issue. >> the president is playing gaming acting like he is the only one that cares for the middle class. there is not anyone who doesn't want the middle class to have

the tax relief but we need 800,000 small businesses thrown into the extra tax that the president wants to charge where we create 75 percent of all new jobs. it is stupid to not kick it over. the president knows that. >> so going back and forth does not matter. the majority of americans favor what? extending the tax cuts? the poll shows 53 percent of you now say you would like to extend the tax cuts for all. >> what is interesting is a month willer there were only 44 percent that would extend the tax cuts for all even those earning more than $250,000 so the public appetite for tax cuts is going up. >> look for nancy pelosi to have a bill up for a vote that says we want to extend the tax breaks for the mill class and make the republicans vote against it. >> here are the other headlines.

>> a new report from the center for immigration studies found the department of justice gave $62 million in 2010 to counties and states that consider themselves sanctuary communities for illegal immigrants supposed to help offset costs of illegals in jail. is this helping their cause? and now we have the director of policy studies at the center for immigration studies. she wrote this report. nice to see you. >>guest: thank you. it seems something stinks about this. the communities have adopted some of the policies it seems they are, they receive money and they are trying to obstruct

immigration enforcement altogether so they are taking this money but doing nothing to stop illegal immigration. >>guest: that is right. probably the most egregious example is the state of illinois and cook county when it which has lots of illegal aliens who committed crimes, some violent. they have, you have the state public safety agency prevent, some of the state and local law enforcement agencies from turning over criminal aliens to ice. >> sorry to interrupt but what is the department of justice thinking? why are they wasting millions and millions on the 27 locations that are considered sanctuary cities? >>guest: the department of justice is actually just carrying out the pavement program that was created by congress as an acknowledge

president that the federal fedel government's failure to get a handle on illegal immigration was imposing costs on state and local governments but what they are done is essentially rewarding those jurisdictions that have deliberate policies in place that are making the whole problem worse that have the effect of attracting illegal immigrants. so what has been proposed as a solution, two members of congress that would like to correct this and set it up so that only those jurisdictions that are actively working with ice through some specific programs, one of which is called secure communes that allows ice to get automatic notifications when there are illegal alien whose have been jailed that only those places would be able to collect the payments, which run in the millions of dollars each year. >> we should read the statement that the doj provided to us and i quote, "funding under this program is provided to any

eligible jurisdiction that incurs costs associated with detaining aliens and scaap reports the process by reimbursing local agency costs for detaining illegal airlines who commit crimes." what is your reaction to this? again, the department of justice is doing what it is supposed to do under the program that was created by congress. but congress can fix this program so that it serves as an incentive for local agencies to help ice do their job and does not reward the places leak san francisco, washington, dc, that refuse to participate with ice. there is no reason to subsidize the jurisdictions. >> that sounds logical. glad you presented the solution. perhaps congress is listening. thank you very much for joining

related to any type of disease and the most striking things they found was it was found to be related to alzheimer's disease. we get mercury in so many parts of our environment not just our food like fish especially on the hudson river but in the dental fillings and vaccination and from the air when coal is burning we can get mercury from that but we do not know how much is teach for each of us. and are there different doses for each of us? so the study although we are far off from being able to use this information and being able to treat alzheimer's disease, we are providing more information as to why, one potential cause for alzheimer's disease and mercury, once again, is implicated in a problem. >>alisyn: and a study from oxford showing a video game playing can reduce trauma and

tried something experimental. what is it? >>guest: they in gentlemanned her -- they injected her brain with embryonic stem cell that they hope will go to the tumor and the tumor will directly supply chemotherapy to the tumor and not to the healthy tissues. this is the first time we have given embryonic stem cells to cancer paints. we have done it with spinal cord parents and we have excellent results. we have seen excellent results in mice so this is the first time we do it in humans. we hope for a good result. the problem at this stage of the disease if she does not have a good outcome it will be hard to say, there you go, it doesn't work, because it could be this is something to do better early in the process. we will have to wait to see. >>alisyn: thank you very much for coming in and good luck.

million they lost in 2006 and $5 billion in 2020 and $3.8 in 2009 and $8.5 billion in losses, in five years, guys. >>alisyn: they have tried to stem the loss to no avail. they have tried to cut 105,000 full time positions to save money and they thought they would lose $67 billion but it is $8.5 billion. they want to change legislation, regulation, and labor contracts in order to stop losing money. your suggestion was great, coffee. >> coffee, i am telling you, starbucks, do what you have to do inside the post office, and one suggestion is privatizing. i have turned my thinking on this. that used to be a great idea, but now you think who would want in on this business? who would want to run a business you have to charge the same

rates all over the country and the post office wants to raise the price of stamps by i don't 20's, that was denied. or cut a day in mail. no brainer, it seems. >> with the people not sending what they used to send, people are not sending things through first-class. i may my bill online. i am reminded that without junk mail there is no mail and a lot of it is junk mail. so, let us know what you think at "fox and friends," would you mind the post office going down to five day as week. >> and what they should do to save the billions they are losing. >> maybe run the businesslike a private business. >> and now in the news, al qaeda is intensifying efforts to attack the west. they appointed egyptian born man as the new head of international

6" to 10" of snow and that is dangerous if you are driving along i-35 or i-94. it is not just the snow but the gusty winds between 20 and 30 miles per hour. ahead of that, it is in the form of rain and chicago is just a couple of showers, no big deal but headed south we are looking at a band heavy rain pushing through southern portions of illinois and otherwise, the low will continue to spin out there and produce the snow and later in the day you will see icy conditions on the roads. as we head into our next graphic we will take a look at warnings in effect across portions of minnesota extending north into northern wisconsin and down through western iowa so a lot of snow out there and we have snow out here. dave? our first ever "fox and friends"

that. >> so, we will see what the girls are wearing. tell us about the jacket and what they have under it. >> we have a company that does great job in general but especially with cute kids' colleagues that are functional as we find in adult clothes. here is sophie and olivia, six and nine. the jackets are waterproof and can breathe, the fabric, and she has a shell. and inside it is lightly insulated. not too much. she is younger, so more insulation is good for her. and a cute fleece layer which is breathable and good insulation and she can take it off if she is too hot in the day and under that, a third layer like the

base layer that is insulated next to her skin and comfortable to keep her warm. >> are you comfortable? >> yes. >> and this is a jacket by marmot and it is a shell that is not insulated and inside you can see this is actually able to zip out with a fleece liner so you can have either like a water roof shell or insulation and her parents are happy because it is less to lose and another light top to keep her warm. >> and you just wear the fleece and lose the shell. >> and how are you buddy? how comfortable? >> comfortable. and you have layering.

>> layering idea, a jacket that obviously is more styled for boys and not pink so you appreciate that. and layering idea so you can unzip the jacket a little bit and you will see he is good to go. we will do a snow dance when this is over. so you have a thin fleece layer and a base layer which is a nice next to skin type of layer made for kids but it is the same fabrics we find in adult colleagues. >> similar situation with all three, the pants, not thick but real warm, just lightly in lated with a base layer. it depends on where you live. usually, this is a great set up for the kids because they can wear pants if they are too cloald but layers are important so it is not just one big single

layer. >> we will talk about more gear at 9:30 and skiing and snow boarding and i am told at the end of the snow we will have a snow boarding lesson. but, now, a snowball fight with the kids. >> thank you for your vote of confidence. i will need some protective gear. all thank you is how he was in junior high school. stay tuned.

>> president obama's deficit commission offering ideas on how to slash the deficit. the plan is drawing fire from both sides of the aisle. >> former arc governor mike huckabee will weigh in. okay, the fact the deficit commission proposals are universally loathed, by both sides, you think is a good sign. >> a good sign. it could actually be good policy. but the reason the reactions have been so staunch is because it is not good politics. you touch things like social security and say you will raise the retirement age to 68 and then 69, although the 69 is not happening until the year 2065! face it, we are not going to be worried about it. maybe you will be. we won't. but reality is, social security was developed at a time when the average life expectancy was 67 so you retired at 65 and died when 18 months and there wasn't

a big payout. now with life expectancy to 81 the tables do not work out. one or two things the government has to start looking at this or we will kill off people. kidding. >> this makes no sense. both sides immediately upped, -- immediately jumped out on this but i am surprised the right was not talking about the defense budget. it is unpatriotic to talk about that but the pentagon is taking airplanes they don't need or want. and what happens we are still designing a lot of military hardware for a war that we don't plan to fight. robert gates the defense department secretary who has done an excellent job has been one of those well to grinds a sacred cow into hamburger and serve it rare and he has really

helped to identify ways in which we can keep ourselves strong, not cutting the military trent and not hurting veterans. there are two things americans don't want: get weak; or hurt the veterans who kept us free. but those priorities don't have to be bloated with a lot of stuff that is not about keeping us safe. and protecting and caring for veterans. there are areas of the defense budget that need to be looked at honestly. >> what will happen to the promises by the deficit commission? will congress vote on these? >> probably not. the harsh reality, good policy is buildly horrible politics and a reason america is in the trouble we are in is because we don't have enough people who are willing to go to washington and say, i'll be a one temperaturer, a two year congressman, six year senator or four year president. we have people would go and if they say that when they are running, they, three months and they all go native. and they decide, i like having

people open the elevator door for me and i am serious when i tell you, a lot of the proposals in this are bold. having three tax rates that says everyone has to have skin in the game, democrats hate that but if you have a whole segment who has no invest in in the country do they care how the money is spent? no. if they had some investment, some, it makes a difference. >> thank you for joining us, turn into "huckabee" tonight. >> better business bureau accused of taking money forgiving organization as good rating. rating. are they charging a ransom? the world's most advanced driving simulator, where a real driver in a real car can react to real situations without real conseences.

i quote, "in the case of accrediting phony business including one with the same name as the terrorist organization hamas, mistakes were made and it should not have happened." is that enough to explain if folks don't know, hamas, a fake company, there wasn't actually a company at all, but just a name got accredited by the better business bureau. is it enough to say mistakes were made or is this more of a culture. >>guest: it's a culture and as far as the hamas application goes, it must have been taken by an ostrich. you would have to have your head in the sand for ten careers to not know what hamas is, and you can find instances where businesses received bat -- bad ratings or good ratings becaused on what they say. so it is easy to say it is isolated but for consumers and entrepreneurs it is not isolated. there are a lot of places you can find this information on the

internet about businesses, can you search a contractor or someone you want do do business with and there is a rip-off report and my favorite "i'm tired of being screwed," on the intent and you can rate your doctors and all kinds of things to do much the better business model right now is flawed at best. >> are you calling for it to go away? >>guest: i don't have a problem with it going away. people are so smart now about finding out information on their own, consumes are very, very savvy, in 1912 when it started to save us from snake oil it serve add good purpose. but, i don't know that many people use it and now after all this controversy i'm not sure anyone is going to feel they can rely on it again. >> thank you for joining us, we would like the better business bureau to come on the program and explain. we appreciate you being here. >> president obama speaking out about the moment that president

entirely on american consumers to drive economic growth, but as you mentioned he heads home with american taxpayers, as the focus of an upcoming showdown with congress, remember, on wednesday, david axlerod one of his top advisors made headlines essentially telling the huffington post, obama was ready to give in. not so says the president. >> the wrong interpretation because i haven't had a conversation with republican democratic leaders. here is the right interpretation. i want to make sure that taxes don't go up for middle class families starting on january 1st. that's my number one priority. for those families and for our economy. >> republicans want the tax cuts extended for everyone. so, it's a pushback from the president as he gets ready to fly back to washington and face the newly empowered g.o.p. and the stakes are big outside washington of course, millions of taxpayers could see their paychecks take a hit in january, unless they figure this out.

and no one here in washington wants to answer to that, back to you guys. >> julie kirtz live in washington for us. >> what is happening is this there's a lot of democrats who may say, they think maybe a deal has already been worked out, but all of this political posturing is interesting, but if you listen to nancy pelosi, it doesn't sound as if any deal has been worked out. listen to the anger in her voice. >> opposition in the house has been that we support the tax cuts to the middle-- for everyone, but not an additional tax cut at the high end it's too costly. those tax cuts have been in effect for a very long time, they did not create jobs. >> do you in the middle of a recession, raise taxes on all income. small businesses owners talk to former governor mike huckabee, they believe they will find a deal for two to three year extension and all signs point to. some say republicans won't give there. and they want permanent even though they could be looking

at a republican controlled senate in 2012. >> if they have they haven't told a lot of people about it. if nobody is speaking from the same script. everybody is talking about something different, in the lame duck session. here are the different plans that exist at the moment. president obama as you know, has wanted to stop the bush tax cuts to anyone making $250,000 or above, exend them for anybody under, including families and as you said, dave, congressman john mainer says to extend them permanently. >> mch mcconnell from the senate says maybe you'll find a temporary deal, just go two, three years and even differences within the republican-- >> senator max baucus, stripping that tax provision out of it, maybe there's a compromise there. the president opened the door last week on 60 minutes and david axlerod walked back and angered a lot of other democrats and wait a second you're opening the door on this thing, a lot of democrats

are upset with the white house over this, because they felt as if they sort of gave them too much. almost enough rope to hang themselves with. let them back it off a little bit and that's what they're upset about. >> senator orrin hatch talked about this very thing. listen. >> and trying to act like he's the only one that cares for the middle class. there is not anybody who doesn't want the middle class to have this tax relief, but we also need to have 800,000, 750 to 800,000 small businesses that would be thrown into the extra tax that the president wants to charge and we create 75% of all new jobs, so it's just stupid to not kick it completely over and i think the president knows it. >> and senator max baucus is talking about it and i was suggesting the small businesses that orrin hatch was talking about. >> and what do you think. should congress do what the tax cuts and the big numbers, 53% say extend cuts for all, it's 12%, i think he's

surprised they found out want to expire the tax cuts for all income earners, regardless what you could see democrats do. some fear, introduce a bill extend those for the middle class, those making less than 250 and force the republicans to vote, no in the lame duck session, an interesting and nasty trick as we go into the lame duck session. >> we start with a fox news alert, new video out of myanmar where one of the prominent political prisoners freed after seven years. pro democracy leader addressed her supporters just moments after her release. >> and must do everything i can to make sh your that democracy comes to burma quickly. >> president obama responding to. su. kyi's release and calling for

myanmar to free the remaining prisoners. a group of would-be bombers tried to storm a major base. and eight assailants were reportedly killed and the second attack there this six months. a month long search for zahar baker. and remains have been found. >> i regret this moment early on. >> police say the remains found earlier this week are consistent with zahar. she'd lost her left leg to bone cancer and her father is being questioned and stepmother, neither charged in her death or disappearance. newsome vottoed the plan on toys--

i should say, ban on taste in fast food meals for kids. this might is not over. >> you have to have a certain milligram, percentage of this and that and then you can have the toy. i think it goes too far. >> and creates healthier food choices if toys are attached to them. >> the happy meal legislation sets standards for foods sold with choice and newsome says he's not against healthier meals for kids. >> that you should be behind. >> happy meals-- >> see how happy it makes him. >> starting to get the flu. >> and check out maria with the forecast. >> hey, yeah, we have one big storm system bringing in snow to minnesota and ahead of it, a cold front that's bringing in some light showery weather, rain showers, that is extending from parts of illinois and indiana even as far south as eastern texas and once again, this is very light, not a huge deal, the heavier rain in concentrated across western kentucky and

also, tennessee, and zooming into our snow, basically, we're driving along interstate 35 or 94 in minneapolis we're looking at heavier snow, general accumulation between six to ten inches of snow out there and that does also include nearby cities, as we look into the next couple of hours, the snow or the low pressure will drift on northward and that's where we are going to see the later accumulations and iowa, you guys are starting to look a little better as that snow continues to drift northward. guys. >> thanks. >> let's talk a little bit of history. and it's interesting, excuse me, try take two. >> you're right-- >> historians begin to lay the groundwork and lay back at the clinton years and george h.w. bush, was there hatred in the family as to president clinton beating his father. >> and he sat down and talked about what it was like for his

own father to lose the clinton in 1992. >> he had a sense of relief in his voice to-- so that i didn't have to go what he went through, which was to welcome somebody to the white house who had just defeated you in the election. he handled it with such grace and dignity and his relationship with bill clinton speaks volumes about both. >> it's easy to be the-- it's easy to be the won to be the bigger person as a practical matter and i like president clinton, i mean, when you've actually been on the losing end, i think that's harder, that's the bigger person. >> it would be much harder, but i do think that bill clinton has been very gracious to my dad and all our family appreciates how he has treated dad and i admire how dad has handled his relationship with bill clinton and bill clinton and i have got a good relationship, we've worked together on the haiti fund. we occasional give speeches together and i would, i would

classify him as a friend. >> it's great to see that comaraderie, isn't it. here is what president clinton said about the book. >> well written, people from all political stripes should read it. >> quite an endorsement. >> that should be on the jacket cover. >> and he learned a lesson not how to write a book that's 2000 pages. "my life" bill clinton's book, only get through a quarter of it. >> he can be verbose. >> and steve and brian also sat down with president george w. bush and they say that they got great stuff. things you won't see on any other channel. >> and see that next week. next, while president obama was at the g-20 summit he failed to security a trade deal with south korea. karl rove next with why that failure is disastrous. >> and complaints over the full body scanners at airports.

homeland security secretary janet napolitano is speaking out about that. >> we're snowed in on the plaza. it's a snow day here. stick around, you can catch aly on a snow board the first time ever. and they built a bean hill for her. i've been on one before. it didn't go well. >> oh, boy, a repeat. ♪ /nñ÷ççv@wl;wo@@xú6-:hóxçññ

. >> i6789 welcome back to "fox & friends." president obama failed to secure a trade deal. does it make the u.s. appear week to other countries? is he afraid of a bigger battle in congress. >> and karl rove former advisor to president george w. bush and "current consequences", the paper book. the this looks thin.

it's deceiving. >> we had a chapter on obama. the paper book looks even slimmer. the major of tv. >> usually you look bigger on television. >> took off 15 pounds. >> let's talk about the president's asian trip. at one point wasn't the trade agreement with south korea considered a foregone conclusion, success, it was going to happen. how did it get derailed? >> yes, president bush negotiated the trade deal with south korea. the congress did not take it up. president obama held it over. and then he redid the deal. now shall the press has talked about how he wanted new provisions going further on on, but in reality the key sticking point, he wanted addition al conditions for labor unions and had to find a face saving gesture to say let's pay attention to the beef and new car provisions rather than pay attention to the big on unions. and so the trade deal has come undone.

we've spent years and years and years patiently negotiating a deal, removing obstacles to the export of american goods and services to that country and president obama went one step too far and this is a problem. because if we don't have trade deals. guess what? the rest of the world is cutting trade deals where they lower their trade barriers with countries like south korea and panama or colombia and get the trade that we would otherwise get and why president obama has not moved more forcefully on free trade agreements, colombia, panama and south korea, all of which they say are net job creators for the united states of america is curious to me. >> are' on air force one flying with the president on one of these ten-day trips. what do you say to the president, what are you telling him differently than his advisors. was it a failure of leadership ahead of time? >> oh, absolutely. because, look, he had a trail deal that was acceptable to the united states and to korea and he decided because the laeb unions wanted what are called labor protections, that is to say some, some

provisions that will benefit u.s. labor unions. he wanted to renegotiate the entire deal. now, the koreans literally had. one of their governments fell over this trade deal with the united states and it's not an easy deal for the koreans to come to agreement with. the president should have taken what he had, gotten it through the congress and then gone back to patiently work away at additional obstacles at beef and cars if he believed that. no, the key was he wanted addition al protections for labor unions. and he didn't want a contentious battle in the united states congress because most of the republicans would vote for it and most the democrats would vote against it and he did nt want to have to put the pressure on his party to vote for this trade deal. >> and far lighter reading than carl's piece in the wall street journal. in it he quotes pop lyrics, i didn't know you were so hip, but a poll of 30% of independents voted for

democrats in the last election, down 26% in two years and 36% since 2006. what is the president failing to interpret from the numbers you cite? >> well, look, the rock singer who sang at an event in nevada in october with president obama, her hit is "king of anything" and lyrics include the phrase you've got the talking down just not the listening and the president obama has vestiges of complain. if unemployment was closer to 5% rather than 10% people would accept my policy choices better well, yeah, duh. if your policies were working they would be applauding, they didn't work pt unemployment is closer to 10% rather than 5% because the stimulus bill fail and secondly he said this is a communications problem. if they heard me more. wait, he's got the biggest bully pulpit and we spent the last year to listen to him talking. he's got the talking down not the listening and that's

second of all, they want obama care repealed, which came out in in election, big message. >> karl rove, thank you for joining us. >> wish there were more pictures. >> you bet. >> the president's deficit commission proposing enormous tax hikes, cuts to the deficit. but are they cutting the wrong things. >> there are ways to avoid getting sick ever again and a doctor who has secrets. ♪ proud to stand on our own ♪ proud to be homegrown ♪ can you hear it? ♪ fuelin' the american spirit ♪ no matter when, no matter where ♪ ♪ marathon will take you there ♪ had a tree that borthe most rare and magical fruit, which provided for their every financial need.
