7:02 am
>> we'll feature the rules of quidditch. meanwhile. >> lots of activity on capitol hill and our plaza apparently this morning. freshman orientation begins, the battle brewing between the g.o.p. establishment and the tea party. you've heard that before. both trying to indoctrinate the new movies. julie kirtz joining us from washington. julie, can they all get along? >> yeah, maybe they could play quidditch or something, warmed up. some of these folks have never been to washington, nearly 100 house freshmen, most of them republicans are descending on d.c. today for a six-day crash course how things really work here in congress. the new members orientation is where lawmakers learn to be lawmakers or at least learn where their new offices are located and how to hire staff and get things done. new republicans and democrats are actually staying at the same hotel here in washington for their orientation meetings. they'll get checked into their rooms and get their official congressional blackberries, and newly elected members are
7:03 am
part of the big republican sweep in the mid terms and the real lesson of navigating complicated political channels already playing out even before they're sworn in and competing receptions planned in d.c. with tea party activists pushing freshmen members to attend theirs to show where they stand on taxing and spending. and a memo, d.c. insiders and lobbyists are already trying to co-op incoming members of congress. all this and seven weeks to go before the congress gets done to work. >> thank you, julie. quidditch might be a good answer. >> that's one of our suggestions. meanwhile, the news this morning is that congressman heath shuler mounting a challenge to nancy pelosi is likely announce today and trust far, he will challenge her and today he may announce that he is in fact doing that. >> he spent two years in the nfl and dave likes to point out how many interceptions
7:04 am
he's had. >> 33. >> and using this as a bit of a rallying cry. look in football if you're a terrible player they benched me and that's the illusion he's drawing, they lost and got killed in the mid trm elections, maybe they need to bench her. >> the analogy he's going to get used to, is losing once again and a battle he probably cannot win. heath shuler from north carolina has not announced one of the blue dog conservative candidates, but it's believed he will run against her between 14 and 18 democrats have come out and publicly spoken out against nancy pelosi. i think you said, clayton, 14 plan to vote against her. >> yeah. >> when it's brought up. >> and then other, in news max reporting 18 so there's a number of different people and people keeping their mouths shut this morning as well. i think it's interesting that he actually, let's not forget, he won reelection last month and almost a landslide. he won by 9 points in conservative north carolina as
7:05 am
a blue dog moderate, blue dog moderate democrat which is interesting in this election climate with so many other moderate democrats were edged out and this is of course a rallying person for liberal democrats and he representing the moderate voice. >> will nancy pelosi likely becoming the minority leader it moves at colleagues who had learn positions down and move some out unless you do something creative and that's what nancy pelosi has come up with, in order to not bump congressman james clyburn out of the leadership position he previously held. they've decided to create a new position for him. he will no longer be house majority whip, obviously, so he is being called something like a-- >> number three. >> a number three, he'll be called and also called assistant leader. >> assistant leader. >> and this was to placate the black caucus, but i thought it was interesting because they
7:06 am
had these jobs before, right, so they're taking demotions. you have steny hoyer taking a demotion and going back to a job he held a number of years ago and james cliburn basically would be pushed out of the leadership and he already had the jobs and a lot of people, like getting demoted. i don't want to take that job again. >> he didn't have the votes to unseat steny hoyer and the congressional black caucus balking, haven't come out in support of that. >> this is reminiscent of school, we've heard the stories in school, give trophies to everyone, no one is a loser, everyone gets a trophy. races and contests have consequences. sometimes you lose your leadership position. >> and reminded of that. >> unless of course you do something tricky and create a new one. and what else is topping the news less than an hour until president obama returns from asia, landing in anchorage alaska and make his way home to washington and he was in japan for the apec summit and a visit to the great buddha
7:07 am
statue and the ten day trip took him to indonesia and south korea and failed to reach an agreement on a free trade deal. and fox news alert for you, you're about to look at new video of the british company set free overnight by the somali pirates, held hostage more than a yearment paul and rachel chandler landed in mogadishu this morning and moments expected to fly to kenya before returning home to the u.k. they were captured white yachting in the indian ocean. more new video into the fox news room. pro democracy leader suu dlts kyi, and the noble peace lawyer yet was released after something like 15 years under house arrest. former president george w. bush, spoke for about 20 minutes saying he didn't miss much except the pampering of being president and refused to
7:08 am
discuss president obama. >> haven't been in the news lately, i don't think it's good for our country to have a former president criticizing his successor. >> one thousand lucky people who bought "decision point" earlier in the week got to meet the president and get his autograph. >> and they went to catch an early bird dinner. >> the early bird central. it's nice of him to acknowledge that's what you miss, being pampered, having a personal chef, a personal pastry chef, no traffic. let's be honest. >> i would miss those things if they were to go away. >> and the salute of the military, as well. let's get over to maria, who is in for rick right reichmuth chasing beignets. >> i don't know if he's quite doing that, but in parts of the caribbean sea, showers and storms, very disorganized for now, but we're going to keep an eye out. there's a medium chance of this storm becoming a tropical
7:09 am
depression in the next day or so, not a huge deal, it's moving very slowly and will basically we're expecting it to produce showers and storms over parts of nicaragua and the next day or so and zooming in, you can see the showers and storms withed system. in the u.s. we have the same low that brought on the snow for minnesota yesterday. today, a little further north and we're expecting an additional one to three inches of snow out there and this is across northern parts of minnesota and also wisconsin. ahead of it we have a frontal boundary that will be bringing in some rain, and your rain already across eastern ohio and moving into pennsylvania today. and as we head further south. like kentucky, tennessee, and even parts of the southeast that's what it's looking like too. current temperatures chilly behind it and a little warmer ahead of it, guys. >> thanks so much. all eyes right now, a trial is taking place in new york and his name is galaii. an accused al-qaeda terrorists held in guantanamo bay at a
7:10 am
federal courthouse and looking at this. the new york jury has been deliberating for about two days, if they come back with a not guilty verdict, this could be had a mainly thorn in the side of the obama administration if at the move forward with khalid shaikh mohammed's trial. whether or not they get the guilty verdict is not locked up yet either. >> moving forward is the big question because as you know, khalid shaikh mohammed, the master mind on 9/11, has been at guantanamo bay since 2006 and apparently he's going to be there for a while and he should get comfortable. now it's been reported by "the washington post," he could be at gitmo until at least 2012, until after the next presidential election. >> and this is very interesting, because eric holder, the attorney general had said something this week that led many people to believe that a decision on where to try him and when to try him was eminent. let's listen. >> the process is an ongoing one. we are working to make a determination about the placement of that trial and i
7:11 am
would hope that whatever the decision is will be one judged on merits and the case for justice that that case will be the thing that will guide his decision. we have been working on it and i think we're close to a decision. >> this morning, the new york post and say no decision because there's been no concession where to have the trial. "the washington post" says holder says soon schumer, chuck schumer of new york, says never, it's somewhere between the two. >> the problem is no one here in new york wants this thing. whether you talk about peter king, who is the ranking member, ranking republican on the house homeland security committee. the next governor andrew cuomo doesn't want it here and again you mentioned chuck schumer doesn't want it here. no one in the new york delegation in the house or senate wants it here. in all likelihood you've got to find another location, it can't be gitmo because the liberals will go nuts. >> what about a military tribunal because this thing, i
7:12 am
brought up at the top, comes back as a not guilty verdict. that could throw this whole thing off and the administration is not going to want to put khalid shaikh mohammed up there and not get a not guilty verdict and peter king will join us to talk about all of this and more. >> yeah, he's very interesting, because he'll obviously have opinions where this should happen and also set to become the head of the house homeland security council so he is, maybe i should say a so he is pretty invested in all of this. >> you've got it. coming up, president obama promised he'd start getting the u.s. troops out of afghanistan in 2011. but now he's saying, we'll be there through 2014. why he's changing the deadline. is this putting our troops in harm's way. >> and charlie rangel is facing an ethics hearing tomorrow and now he's being accused of using his political action money to pay for his defense. could this be the last straw? . /nñ÷ççv@wl;wo@@xú6-:hóxçññ
7:16 am
. >> welcome back to "fox & friends." afghan's president a mid karzai says the u.s. must cut done the special operations in afghanistan immediately and believes that the long-term presence of the u.s. soldiers could strengthen the taliban eninsurgentsy. joining us now is former ceo operative to talk about this, michael, when you heard about karzai's comments overnight. what was your response? >> well, i think, you know, he's a man who lives in a dilutionry world. he survives only as long as american bayonets are there. more importantly, what he's demanding is that american generals expose their soldiers to more dangers than necessary. as americans, our military owns the night. we are most effective in the night. the enemy can't defend itself when we attack in the evening. so if we withdraw that, what we're doing is trying to please this puppet president at the risk of causing more deaths to american marines and soldiers. >> isn't this though, been part of the strategy all along, which is to have a
7:17 am
reduced presence, win the hearts and minds of individuals there and not show up with their guns in people's faces. doesn't that enable us to win the tribal elders in a lot of these different regions and win over afghanistan at large? >> no, so that's a-- that's something petraeus and mcchrystal and the special forces want us to believe. the fact is american soldiers have been successful and marines in afghanistan. we have four million more children in school, there's more potable water. more roadways and electricity and yet, the insurgency continues to grow around the country. we're fot going to win any hearts and minds and the afghans will take material improvements from anyone and hate us as occupiers and we've lost track of why we're there. we're there to destroy the enemy that tried to destroy us, not to please mr. karzai and rebuild the government. >> you bring up a great point.
7:18 am
2011 exit of getting our troops out there may not happen at all. that was a presidential promise and may get pushed back to 2014 and facing enormous difficulties. we're there to fight and beat al-qaeda and facedown the taliban and experts say they're not in afghanistan, they're in pakistan. >> that's the problem. we went under mr. rumsfeld light approach to warfare and they ran away to fight another day and now we have a huge problem being exactly right, sir, but the decision that needs to be made, is the game worth the candle? we don't have nearly enough troops in afghanistan to win the war because we're not going to win hearts and minds, we're going to have to kill the enemy. if we have to go into pakistan, that,s doubles or tripples the number. so, this is really a hard decision, but it's a decision that we have to make and i would add one more thing, when the president talks about 2011 or 2014, and he's no different than mr. bush or mr. clinton in this regard, there's an an
7:19 am
enormous arrogance there, it says that the enemy doesn't have a voice. the enemy is winning at the moment and ultimately, he'll have a vote in how long we stay there. . >> right. now, we saw the soviet union try to fight in afghanistan and the enemy waiting out the timetable until they were to leave. anwar al-awlaki, as you know very well, as you fought and served in the bin laden unit with the cia, anwar al-awlaki, the radicalized cleric who's been driving a lot of the radical tension here in the united states. all eyes on him. is he the new bin laden? >> no, bin laden is still the bin laden. al-awlaki is a talented man, eloquent, charismatic, but few credentials in terms of ever suffering or fighting in terms of beating the soviets or attacking the americans. what he is important for and what he represents is al-qaeda's growing presence in the united states. he's been tied to almost every terrorist operation we've
7:20 am
stopped or failed to stop in the united states in the last two years, and he's also one of now, a number that's five or six of senior u.s. born, u.s. citizen muslim males who are in the hierarchy of al-qaeda. what al-awlaki represents over the last decade to establish an al-qaeda network and they've done so successfully in the united states. it shows us how more al-qaeda has become in the arabian peninsula. the former cia operative, thank you for joining us on this sunday morning. >> thank you, sir. >> coming up on the show a group of young conservative voters gathered at the reagan ranch this weekend to share their ideas for the future of the republican party. what do they think about the new congress and the tea party? two of them will join us next. and if you're worried about losing your job, there are definite warning signs you're about to be fired. we'll tell you what they are, plus, tips how to protect yourself from getting that pink slip yourself. straight ahead.

7:25 am
together in the reagan ranch in california to share ideas steps they think need to be taken for the conservative movement in america. and joining me are the two students who attended the conference. from truman state university and john ike from the university of north carolina. good morning, guys. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> okay. john, let me start with you, you're meeting at the reagan ranch of course, to talk about the next steps for the conservative movement. what are those? >> well, i think the next step is to reach out to the younger generation and those that are currently in college as we speak. and let me tell you, the national debt is approaching 14 trillion dollars and the congress is going to decide weather in the coming weeks to increase to 14.3 trillion dollars and you know, the-- that figure is roughly equivalent to the entire economy in the united states, which is gdp. and so, you know, that is an
7:26 am
unsustainable amount of spending and i think we need not look any further than the current situation in greece to realize the sddisastrous affect such spending can have on an economy. >> i want to bring you in, because you two are obviously very engaged in the political process. >> yes. >> as are all the young people we've viewed this weekend, but only 21% of your age group. 18 to 29 year olds voted in the mid terms, why? >> you know, that's-- everyone asks me that question all the time and it's very puzzling. i think there was-- they lost the momentum and that's unfortunate. you know, everyone had such a momentum in 2008 and a lot of people, a lot of young people saw how much the federal government wasn't doing a good job so i don't think they saw that as encouraged to go out and vote as they may have felt two years ago in 2008. >> john, what do the folks
7:27 am
there at your weekend think about the tea party? >> i honestly think that the feelings about the tea party is mixed and i think some people certainly appreciate the amount of enthusiasm they've brought to the conservative movement. and marco rubio wins the senate race there, ran paul in kentucky yet at the same time, a lot of conservative activists believe less on the table, in delaware, christine o'donnell and mike castle was a more prepare candidate or even in nevada, sharron angle lost to harry reid. the reaction is mixed. >> it's interesting stuff you're doing out there. keep us posted on your findings after the weekend there. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you so much for having us. >> thanks for having us, thank you. >> all right, the department of justice pumping millions of dollars into sanctuary cities. shouldn't the doj use the money to jail illegal immigrants if that's their job? former ear air congressman and

>> well, folks, we found it, we found the sport for clayton. >> it's called quidditch, it's magical and he's going to ride a broomstick, oh, boy. >> he's among his people. it's just about ten minutes. >> harry potter folks, they're outside playing quidditch on the plaza today. do you know it's a sport. i didn't know it was officially a sport here, but taken hold on college campuses across the country. >> dave. >> let's talk about the sport of politics, enough quidditch. president obama after the tuesday mid terms, he doesn't get it. how about charlie rangel. >> he gets it. >> this guy really doesn't get it. what is ethically right and wrong? he's at it again. his trial begins on 13 ethics charges, trial begins tomorrow morning, but now, more is being uncovered. >> according to the new york post, it sounds as though in
7:33 am
order to defends himself against these ethics charges, charlie rangel has committed more ethics violations by rating his pac money of hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay lawyers to defend himself. to the tune of $393,000, they say that that is in direct violation of the house ethics rule. so, you know, he can add this to the laundry list of ethics violations looked at on monday perhaps. i don't know if they got it in on time to add this to the list on monday. if you need a clarification, solicitation and gift ban all of this on and on. >> didn't pay taxes on his rental property. had a rent controlled property of the using the letterhead unofficially, using it to do personal things on and on and onning interest to see if this is added on, does it make the cut-off. >> you have to reiterate what aly said, in defending himself
7:34 am
against ethics charges he has alleged allegedly-- >> and only funds may be used are funds of the principal campaign committee not the funds of a leadership pac or multi-candidate committee. seems like that's kind of an obvious clause. the yet, according to the new york post they did an investigation and they say he used hundreds of thousands of dollars from the leadership pac to go to other candidates and he used it to half to pay for a legal team and half to pay for another lawyer, lane davis i'm sure you've seen on our air and we'll see what it's about. >> didn't hurt charlie in the reelection bid, not at all. >> other headlines for you, if you're just waking up. the latest, overnight insurgents set fire to a convoy of n.a.t.o. fuel
7:35 am
tankers and a bomb blast killed an n.a.t.o. service member and two civilians this as hamid ckarzai said that the u.s. should end raids on insurgency. >> a package of security incentives from the u.s. designed to encourage the country to limit construction of the controversial settlements. the latest offering comes as the obama administration tries to revive peace talks with the palestinians and 90 day moratorium on the new construction would apply only to the west bank, not eastern jerusalem. palestinian leaders say that east jerusalem needs to be included to help talks move forward. it looks like the d.c. opportunity fellowship program could get a second chance at life and g.o.p. lawmakers say they'd like to reauthorize the program when they assume control of the house in january. the program pays low income children, was eliminated last year. emotional homecoming for troops reunited with their

supervisor. you got great reviews and now a new supervisor is writing you up poorly. and you know, told by management let's create a paper trail to get rid of this person if you're a female and over 40 and protected class and pregnant and poor performance reviews, that enables the company to make it easier to fire you and do it legally. >> and let's dive back into those things you can do, if in fact the personing slip is headed your way. review your contract not everyone has one, but that's a way of saying you might not be able to fire me. >> or you may have job security and held to notice before you're terminated. >> or perhaps-- >> very much so the key to this whole thing. >> should you start removing personal items from your-- >> a great idea if you've got a roledex, pull that out. a lot of times companies will bring you in and fire you suddenly and you're not going to go back to the office and ship your personal possessions to you later and you don't want that. you want all the information that you can get before so you
7:49 am
don't have the problem later. >> and maintain the diary. why does that help? >> because you may forget, let's say you're being sexually harassed or treated, creating a hostile intimidating environment. if you recall what happens here, weeks before. that will refresh your recollection later and make it easier for you. >> very much so. >> makes sense. >> last, should you resign before-- >> never, never resign from a job. i want all our viewers to know that's a trap. many times companies will bring you into the office and say, here, we're laying you off, sign this letter of resignation and you think well if i do that it will look good. no, if you file for-- if you resign, you're not going to-- and file for unemployment you're not going to get it. you're going to forfeit bonuses, commissions, severance pay and walk away from benefits. never resign from a job make the company fire you. >> here is the book, steven, thank you for being here. >> it's important to negotiate a fire. >> thanks, good to know. all right.

7:53 am
>> welcome back. a new report from the center for immigration studies finds that the department of justice awarded millions of dollars in grants to sanctuary communities. the money is supposed to help offset the cost of illegals being kept behind bars. is this this massive spending a bit counterproductive. >> former congressman and u.s. senate candidate, j.d. hayworth joins us now. what was your response when you heard about this? >> well, this is just more evidence of schizophrenia when
7:54 am
it comes to our immigration policy. you have a situation where the obama administration is suing my home state of arizona claiming that enforcement of existing immigration law creates a patch work of uncertainty. well, let's take a look at sanctuary cities like chicago and san francisco who not only are sanctuary cities, they're refusing to even be involved in any type of enforcement under the superior communities act and getting away with millions of dollars about 62 million of the overall 400 million dollars in the state criminal alien assistance program. so, again, you just have public policy schizophrenia. >> yeah, it's a lot of money, isn't it? here is what the department of justice is telling us, quote, funding under this program is provided to any eligible jurisdiction that incurs costs associated with containing criminal aliens you don't do in sanctuary cities. it goes on.
7:55 am
supports the process and on. jd. you mentioned the lawsuit from the department of justice against your state. you also add in this, what is the agenda, did you think, when it comes to immigration and the department of justice. >> well, the about the tomorrow line is this, the obama administration has no interest in enforcing existing immigration law. quite frankly, they want to see amnesty, especially in the wake of the mid term election because they believe amnesty will give them a whole bunch of new voters and a whole bunch of cheap votes. some folks, heretofore my allies look to the cheap labor and that's why you have the dynamic with the ruling class or the elites to have nonenforcement. immigration law or the absurdity of the sanctuary communities and states serving as a magnate, drawing in illegals and failing to use the 400 million dollars for what it's intended.
7:56 am
that's why it's so great one of my old colleagues in the congress gary miller introduced legislation, the law enforcement enforcement act. the acronym is lead, if you're not going to enforce the law you're not going to get the federal grants and i would hope that congressman gosser and quayle will get on board. >> and arizona whether or not they sued some of the sanctuary cities. j.d. hayworth, always great to see you here on "fox & friends," thanks so much. >> great to be with you, thanks. >> coming up tonight on fox, a special exploring the rise and the future of conservativism. our very own brit hume joins us live from the preview. >> the growing outrage over the full body scanners at airports and not just passengers. pilots, including captain sully sullenberger, you know him. you love him. he thinks they're a bad idea.
8:00 am
>> good morning everyone, it's sunday, november 14th. newly elected members of congress arrive on capitol hill this morning to learn the ropes of d.c. politics. what they can expect in their crash course, plus, who is fighting for their attention? >> and the president just landed in the u.s., back from his tour of asia. but he has a tough battle waiting for him over push tax cuts. republicans won't budge on extending them for everyone, will there be that buzz word, compromise. >> growing outrage over full body scans at airports. it's not just passengers complaining, pilots including captain sully sullenberger, they think they're dangerous, too, we will hear from the u.s. earl pilots association next. "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪
8:01 am
good morning everybody, thanks for tuning in and joining us, and in washington d.c., the beltway is going to have some more residents and new members on capitol hill and it's a very interesting freshman class because obviously, this was a historic election. so, they're getting ready today. >> yeah, they're getting two sides of the story, too, coming in with two different orientation sessions and tea party orientation and scheduled the same time as the claremont institute orientation session. and then, they were both conflicting back and forth about this and sarah palin is sending an open letter to all of these folks coming into washington and wanting them to remember what if fact they're doing there. when you take their oath to faithfully discharge the duties to office. never forget the trust they placed in you to do the right thing. so, it's as if the expression tugged in so many different
8:02 am
directions, it's as if we've talked about the it. like college, these are not young, impressionable students. they are elected to the united states congress, as if they have, you know, personalities and traits still need to be molded and i think they know why they're elected and i think they know what they're there to do, but yet we're pulling on different directions in day number one and that group made a lot of folks mad scheduling that event at the same time as the claremont institute and they included all the freshmen congressman's e-mails and cell phone numbers on the e-mail and they really walked back their criticism of the claremont institute on saturday. >> i agree it's like college, the credit card tables, sororities and fraternities, and they forget why therp at the there. impressionable. lobbyists, asking you this and pay this back in your home
8:03 am
district. don't forget. >> and you're saying they're not as malable, however, sarah palin says her motivation for sending that open letter to that so many of them have reached out to her and asked her how they should proceed if she could give them some advice. she did a one shot to everybody and sent an open letter. >> one thing in her letter, number one priority in her letter don't forget to defund obama care. well, that's going to be a bit of a problem. you know why? right now they're taking up the bush tax cuts and right now, republicans are dealing with democrats as we move forward and whether or not to extend the bush tax cuts. listen to the speaker designate, john boehner, on the importance of extending these tax cuts, it doesn't sound like obama care is the top priority. listen. >> i think extending all of the current tax rates and making them permanent will reduce the uncertainty in america and help small businesses begin to create jobs again. you can't, you can't invest when you don't know what the rules are. when you don't know what the tax rates are going to be next
8:04 am
year. and that's why making these permanent will be the most important thing we can do to help create jobs in the country. >> if there's a buzz word on what john boehner just said, it's certainty and a lot of the businesses are saying we need certainty, need to know what the rules are going to be, that's his argument and many others about keeping these tax cuts permanent. which i think has very little, if any, chance of passing right now, look for a two to three year deal, but that is something it's not just raising taxes in a recession, but it's these guys, these companies that need to know what we're going to be paying for the next decades. >> forget about the companies if lawmakers can't compromise before the spring, everyone's cap goes up. >> january 1st. >> january 1st, even if politicians intend to make tax breaks temporary or permanent. if they don't get it done in the next month. everybody's goes up. >> do you think there's a chance. >> no, i don't think there's a chance. here is why. john boehner sounds as if he's
8:05 am
dug in his heels making it permanent and nancy pelosi comes out and says she doesn't believe in extending them at all for those making above 250,000. the point was we've had the tax breaks since 2001 and 2003 under president bush and they didn't prevent the financial meltdown. >> don't you believe that john boehner is so far over here and nancy pelosi is so far over here and both of them having those positions so they can come back and compromise a little bit. >> who then rides into town as the good cop and tries to deal with compromise although not making the liberal base happy about it is president obama and who denied any sort of a compromise yet. take a listen what president obama had to say. >> that's the wrong interpretation, because i haven't had a conversation with republican democratic leaders. and 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
8:06 am
economy. >> i think there's already a deal, but we'll see. that's-- >> and looked as though he was speaking directly to you saying that's the wrong interpretation. >> i don't know if nancy pelosi is making a deal. >> something smells. >> how about his predecessor, president bush has not necessarily said anything about president obama, but what he does make clear he does support small businesses and you would imagine that president bush would support the bush tax cuts. he talks a little about that and their importance for small businesses, with bill o'reilly this week. >> i think it's important for policy makers to understand most new jobs are created by small businesses. 70% of new jobs in america are created by small businesses. and many small businesses pay income tax at the individual rate and therefore, raising any income taxes will cause there to be less capital available for small businesses which will make it harder to create jobs. >> one of the big things, big sticking point on the campaign trail of course headed into
8:07 am
the november elections was ear marks and the wasteful pork barrel spending and a lot of congressmen think they need to bring back new roads, new bridges all of these things, but tea party folks not having it and trying to remind people in washington we don't want ear marks, a bit of a battle between republicans and tea party members as to the value of these ear marks and is it enough to really get all excited about when it's such a small amount of our budget? >> senator jim demint doesn't think it's small. he's leading the charge and is the focal tea party supporters and leading the charge dependence banning all earmarks and they say politics makes strange bed fellows and a place we might see compromise is senator jim demint and president bush agrees, and been against earmarks and he would also support a permanent ban and yet, some republicans do not want this. >> i mean, jim demint has all of eight current senators on
8:08 am
board with the ban and he's going to bring it up for a vote this week and symbolic, nonbinding so they could get around it and g.o.p. senators could get around it and has some of the newcomers like pat tomby, like rand paul, marco rubio on board and mitch mcconnell's point, senator minority leader it wouldn't make that much difference in the budget. it's about 16 billion dollars which compared to our yearly budget in this country, dropped in the proverbial bucket. >> you mentioned rand paul and we flashed up a picture of mitch mcconnell and rand paul came out dependence ear marks and seemed to be in the camp with demint and said, well, he'd be willing to support a compromise. the reason i bring up mitch mcconnell some people are republicans and they've had a back and forth and he said to the polar opposite. senator jim demint. mitch mcconnell seems to think it's not that important for conservatives if we have that, take a listen. >> the problem is it doesn't save any money, it's an
8:09 am
argument about discretion, what we need to do is concentrate on reducing spending and reducing debt and this debate doesn't save any money exasperating for some of us who want to get it under control. >> he says it doesn't save any money and perhaps we can hear the president, how much we actually could save. >> we have a chance to go further. we have a chance not only to shine the light on a bad washington habit that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, but take a step toward restoring public trust. we have a chance to advance the interests not of republicans or democrats, but of the american people. >> house republicans have a one-year ban on ear marks and they will bring it up for a vote in january, whether that's going to go permanent. will they compromise on this? we'll keep our eye on the lame duck session. >> we have something to tell you about. new video, president obama landing in anchorage alaska

peek, take a look. >> he says there's a silent majority out there that's going to show up on election day, he was right. >> conservatives for voting in enormous numbers, but what we got was the great society two. >> so, brit, tell us what we'll be seeing tonight. >> well, in this hour you see the beginning of the emergence of ronald reagan as a leader of the conservative movement in america, and as of course, obviously, a very successful politician, first as governor of california and later as we all know president for two terms. you see tonight this famous speech that he made in support of barry goldwater, back in 1964, and this is the story, really, of the failure of richard nixon to really be a conservative and his downfall and the dark days that followed and then the emer dependence of ronald reagan. i must-- >> go ahead. >> i was going to jump in, it sounds like history repeating
8:18 am
itself, isn't it? a discussion of about maybe some of the failures of the last wave of the republican party and marco rubio, we didn't give up to what we tried to do last time and history repeating itself again? >> it's a good question because you wonder why a nation, which identifies itself as 40% or more conservative, only 20% liberal with everybody else being you know, somewhere in the middle as a moderate, as moderates, why republicans, why there are not as many republicans as they are conservatives because i think the republican party has in many respects strayed from the conservative way of thinking and the way of looking at things. and alienated a lot of people who would be, it's inherent. and that's clearly part of what happened that led to the debacle in 2006. loss of congress and then of course, to 2008 as well. and where it was very difficult for john mccain to
8:19 am
match the coalition and the-- and the electorate, that turned out for george w. bush in 2004. >> clearly you could do an entire hour what we saw in the mid term elections with the republicans taking back the house and with what you just said. is there now room in your opinion for what we talked about, is there room for compromise, as we move forward with the democrats? >> well, sure, there's always-- there's always room for compromise. you never get everything you want. i think, however, that the-- so far, the democrats in congress at least seemed to be dug in on their positions. the ones that they carried into this election and which did not fare well thanks in part that people felt pretty negative about the economy and the country in general. republicans feel that they're going to need to stick to their principles and it's possible to reach compromises, there may be quite a compromise on tax rates coming
8:20 am
out of the old congress as it meets for the lame duck session, so there's room for compromise. how extensive it will be i think as much up to the democrats as it is to the republicans. >> sure, tax cuts may be it. >> and brit, the special is called a too many for choosing, it's on the 9 p.m. eastern time and we'll all be watching. thanks so much for coming on. >> my pleasure, nice to see you guys. >> goes to show you, you've got to pay attention to history. >> otherwise-- >> thanks. >> professor. >> coming up on this show, yeah, pilots, including captain sully sullenberger are outraged over full body scanners at the airport. not only invasive, but dangerous, and the president of the pilots association joins us with that next. >> the newly released windows phone 7. how does it stack up to the iphone. clayton will give us a preview and a demo. >> go to the store and look at them. >> yes.
8:24 am
>> welcome bag back to "fox & friends". using the scanners to prevent terrorism and all are subject to these. sully sullenberg said, i think it's unnecessary for flight crew to go through first and second, i think it poses some radiation risk. and the president of the pilots association. >> thank you for having us. >> it sounds like sully was being nice in his statement because he talks about the possible radiation risk. that's a huge issue. >> we believe it is. airline pilots are among the most exposed work groups to radiation in the country and any additional exposure, however, small, is inappropriate. >> where is it coming from, the scanners are 0 other places? >> here is the problem.
8:25 am
airline pilots work place, or office, exists five or six miles above the surface of the earth. it's the atmosphere that filters the ultraviolet and the radiation that most people who exist on the surface are shielded. >> so you're basically sitting in a microwave for your job on a regular basis. >> and further, physicians have recommended that pilots wear sunscreen while they work. >> unbelievable. lets he an address the other part. does it do anything? necessary first of all, to be going through the full body scans? does it work? >> here is our position on the-- it's really quite that we're going through the scanners, it's important to know that airline pilots are among the most scrutinized and we have constant something checks run and we're certified every day to sunday and here we are going through the security check points and some pilots have reported being molested and yet, a hundred yards away we have unfettered control
8:26 am
over one of the most significant potential weapons on the airport, the plane itself. >> this irony is interesting. you're going through a scanner to see whether or not you're packing heat and then a hundred yards and getting behind a massive jumbo jet would i could, which we saw on 9/11 was the weapon used to kill. >> exactly correct. and what we are looking for is a more effective use of the security dollars. there are multitude of solutions out there, from biometric identification procedures, many of them have been studied and vetted and are ready it be em mrimented just need some funding to make it happening. troubling, too, some countries, italy, said that these are ineffective and the tsa says the enemy is creative and willing to go to great lengths, and tsa utilize $the latest technology. >> i want the public to know this. the number one priority of our pilots union is the safety and
8:27 am
security of our passengers, so, what we're advocating is a more effective use of our security dollars. we need to be treating our pilots as the assets to security enhancement, rather than as victims of these procedures and so, what we want to do is use these biometrics and use these alternate procedures to get the assets in the right direction and use them producttively. this is an absurd procedure and largely a waste of money. >> see, if congress is paying attention whether or not we can get rid of the program or not with all signs pointing to yes. mike cleary from the pilots association, we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thanks very much. >> easy for me to say. coming up on the show, under a new law, kids as young as 12 are allowed to go to the therapist without telling their parents. should parent be in the know or would this help kids get the treatment they need. you decide. >> and creating a stylish bedroom for our furry friends? they're getting their own

now there's a new movie out in theaters that takes on-- called cool it. here is a look. >> the ice is coming out. >> the trees will die. >> countries will be underwater. scared that it's going to happen quite soon. >> well, the subject of the film is also the author of a book by the same name "cool it" the skeptical environmentalist's guide to global warming. >> he joins us, nice to see you. critics are saying this may be an answer to al gore's film "an inconvenient truth" do you see it that way. >> it's move moving on. global warming is real, but the way al gore presented it is scary and the little kids worried about their future. that's a very bad place to be if we want to make good, smart
8:45 am
decisions. >> if the icebergs are melted and coastal cities are going to be demolished by flooding soon. shouldn't we be scared? >> first we point out that the coastal cities are not going to be flooded. we're likely to see a rise of one foot over the next century not the 20 feet in al gore's film not the problem and catastrophe it was sold to be and we need to find a smarter way forward. listen, we have for 20 years saying promise carbon cuts and not doing them. what we're seeing there's a smarter way forward. some of the top climate economists and what is the smart way forward, getting the technology to be cheaper. right now. solar panels ten times as much as fossil fuel and a few rich well meaning westerners will put them up. we'll get everyone to do so if they're cheaper than fossil fuel. >> critics have long lampooned al gore and stance ton global
8:46 am
warming whether or not it's man made and whether the science is in on it. what's this film's stance on man made global warming rnts even if you asked a skeptical scientists. they say more in the atmosphere means higher temperatures and global warming in a basic sense is real. but the scary predictions that you very often hear and the ones you also talked about the idea that we've seen the melting icebergs and get the sense we're all doomed is simply wrong. it's not just wrong because it scares our kids wittless, we went to talk to the british kids that seriously believe their future may become, you know, may end before they get to adulthood. that's just terrible, but also makes us make bad decisions. if we're scared we don't make senator decisions. there's an upcoming climate change summit in cancun. will they be talking about some of your solutions or be talking about al gore's solutions? >> unfortunately, they're going to be talking about al gore's solutions again.

we've been trying for 18 years to do this and now they're meeting the 19th time, let's try to make this work again. at some point the clinical definition of insanity is trying to do the same things over and over again and expecting a different outcome. at some point we say we've got to try to different approach and this film shows amazing things we can do that are more effective and do something about global warming and fundamentally spend our money much smarter. >> you mentioned solar panels, beyond those what. >> how to grow your own oil field with algae and geoengineering and set the thermostat and adopttation. we both know if you're going to do stuff to help new orleans when they were hit by katrina. should you have cut carbon emissions or put up better levees, it's all the very smart, down to earth things and we've talked to some of the bet researchers. >> it's amazing the american people are behind you. polls at that rasmussen did. 58% of americans think that

the u.s. vote,think that finding opportunities and ways of cutting u.s. energy consumption is better by finding new energy resources. 60% say investing in renewable resources is a long-term investment and 27% think that fossil fuels are better long-term investments. it seems like public opinion is on your side. >> there's a whole big middle america and the whole world in general it's not happening at all or the scareiest thing we've ever seen. they want smart action, but also want it to be cost effective so this is really about being smart about global warming. i hope this film can start saying it's not an anti-al gore, but moving on and saying, all right, what is the solution and how are we going to do it the smart way with our money. >> and they can go out and see. >> just out yesterday. >> and the book is the same title. and bjorn thanks for coming in. >> certain states banning a drink that combines alcohol with caffeine and some are

he'll do that, and, the career in the nfl, he says benched because he didn't -- >> dave: a 54 rating. >> clayton: not good and he was benched and admits, look, when you are a head coach and losing, you have to bench your star quarterback, sometimes. if you are throwing that many interceptions and that is the allusion he's drawing with nancy pelosi. >> dave: and remember, nancy pelosi said to npr it wasn't about me and the midterms. wasn't it? because they ran 161,000 ads against nancy pelosi, leading up to the midterms. she was not on the ballot and those ads cost $65 million, ads against nancy pelosi. and you can see what he is saying. >> clayton: the moderates lost. >> dave: he's a blue dog, a moderate and will stand up and represent the middle and they have been cleared out of congress but shuler has only been there since '07 and can he
9:03 am
rally the support? probably not. >> alisyn: sort of. the last count there were 18 house members who said publicly they would not support her bid and, if he announces today, they have until i think november 18th, to make the decision, maybe there will be a groundswell, we will not know until after it happens. >> clayton: he won re-election, and won by a sizable margin north carolina. which was interesting, last month. those are the democrats that have come out against nancy pelosi. that we put up there on the screen. and, also, this morning, nancy pelosi, looking for a new position, she just created, because of her battle now, inside washington, and whether or not he could retain or -- her leadership position, she had to create a position for james clyburn so as not to enact -- >> alisyn: an internicene war, is that -- >> clayton: exactly the term i was looking for. >> alisyn: now that nancy pelosi is going to be the minority

9:05 am
her heels or find compromise on the temporary extension? keep your eyes on that. >> alisyn: let's get to your headlines. tell you what is going on in the news. the u.s. military in afghanistan is releasing clips from a taliban training video and so far they've released this, a taliban leader is asking for aid from gulf and southwestern asian countries. and one clip, not available to the public yet, includes an 8th grade boy being used as a homicide bomber. training and recruiting videos from the taliban are common. now, the president is on board air force one while it refuelses in anchorage, after returning from the ten day tour in asia and in 40 minutes will leave for the white house, he was in japan for the summit and made a visit to the great buddha statue and he went to indonesia and south korea where he failed to reach an agreement on free trade.

walk in bernie madoff's shoes, he padded around his home in the, and i wonder if they have any eau de madoff scent! >> the piano, $42,000 and the man who bought it had several already and said it is a good conversation starter. >> clayton: ruth's diamond engagement ring, go near your tv set, if you are home, it is that large. >> alisyn: wear it on your head! >> dave: is it brown. >> alisyn: yellow, i guess. golden color. >> dave: how does a guy give that to his wife. >> alisyn: easily, happily? >> dave: once belonged to ruth madoff? >> clayton: i know what you are saying. a new guy. >> alisyn: if you have a mere half a million dollars, you could be the owner of it. >> dave: $50,000 for that thing.

9:13 am
9:14 am
topic when he sat down with sean hannity. >> i have little desire to try to shape legacy. i read a lot of history, prior to the presidency and during the presidency and realized, it just takes time another true history of any administration to show up and there is no need to try to shape it. i have tried to explain my view of history. at least the 8 years in which i was in the white house but, eventually objective historians will come and analyze. >> alisyn: we are joined by ryan darling the director of senate relations at the heritage foundation and democratic strategist doug schoen to talk about this. gentlemen, good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> alisyn: i want your take on what you think the biggest headline is from president bush's book. what surprised you most, ryan. >> i think, first of all, i think the president should be lauded and applauded for not attacking the obama administration. i think he has been magnanimous and maybe the headline is that
9:15 am
he is staying out of politics and is really looking back and trying to talk about, from a first-person perspective, what actually happened during his administration. and, that is a great thing that he is staying out of, he's not giving opinions on who should be the nominee, for president, in 2012, and he stayed out of the most recent congressional elections and maybe the headline is how magnanimous he has been as an ex-president. >> alisyn: doug, what surprised you most. >> i had a slightly different take as a democrat who disagreed with the president on a lot of things. i think what he tried to do and it does indeed impact on his legacy was to explain his personal feelings, how he made decisions, his frustrations when things didn't go the way he wanted, particularly, in iraq, and i got a sense of the man and, to me, it is the caring, compassion and the frustrations of being president, that to me was the headline. >> alisyn: speaking of things not going the way he wanted or expected at least in iraq, let's listen to what he talks to sean hannity about in terms of not
9:16 am
finding weapons of mass destruction. >> you talk a little bit about wmd, when saddam didn't use wmd our troops i was relieved and then you talked about, the absence of wmd stockpiles. >> yeah. >> frustrating for you. >> unbelievably, of course it was frustrating. everybody thought he had wmd, everybody meaning every intelligence service and -- >> a lot of democrats. >> a lot of members of congress. you might remember, and i think so, for the sake of history it is important to put into the book, fryprior to my arrival, congress overwhelmingly passed the resolution, for the removal of saddam hussein from power and it was embraced by my predecessor. >> alisyn: that shapes his legacy. >> it does but he said it is important to note the people of iraq are much better off without saddam hussein as being their dictator. they have a constitutional democracy that had elections, so the country is better off,
9:17 am
without saddam hussein running that country. and, that is one take away. and i mean, obviously it will be a huge issue that is looked upon by historians and people need to remember, president bush is sticking by his decision in the book after the fact. >> alisyn: what do you think the lasting legacy is? >> i think, someone who has a vision of democratization in the middle east, of building peace and protecting us after 9/11 in history will tell whether he succeeds and whether this vision was appropriate for the times. >> doug i want to move on to current day. and that is, today, in the "washington post," there is an op-ed and you say president obama should not seek a second term. are you just trying to tick off your fellow democrats? >> no, really, quite the opposite. we are suggesting and we spend the bulk of the piece talking about how the government should be run. from the point of view of centrism, the president is right to bring the disparate elements of the democratic and republican parties together, to solve our
9:18 am
transient international and domestic problems and we say if he governs from the center, bringing red and blue america together, he can really be a transformative president, in the last two years of his term. >> alisyn: brian, i suspect you also think the president should not seek a second term. but for different reasons. >> oh, no. i think he should run and conservatives would love to see him jump back in and run for re-election and he has unified conservatives and we have the tea party movement as a result of his big government policies and the massive explosion of spending. so i would disagree with doug and say president obama, most conservatives would want to see him jump back into it. >> alisyn: brian darling and doug schoen, thanks for coming in, a great discussion this morning. >> thank you. >> alisyn: the new members of congress are minutes away from arriving at their new capitol hill home this morning, getting ready for a crash course on being lawmakers. a live report from washington for you and, find it hard to get to church after a night out? how about going to mass straight from the bar?

9:24 am
this. i really think that is very important and my church in soho, no one is awake sunday morning and we have 7:00 p.m. sunday mass and they are coming in droves and we have to look for new ways. >> alisyn: 7:00 p.m. makes sense, 2:30 m a.m., isn't it hard to minister to inebriated people. >> good point. the church used to have a 2:30 a.m. printers mass, people came out of the factories and, i think they really are going after people who are up late at night, early in the morning and say, hey, maybe it is a chance to come and get close to god. i think we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. i think it is wonderful that he is reaching out and trying to attract new people. if we -- we say in my church, if we want things to stay the same, in other words, traditional faith, people coming to god, coming to church we have to change things. we have to know the difference
9:25 am
between changing the nonessential and changing the essential and the mass time, nonessential. >> dave: is there anything wrong about having a few drinks and going to church? is there anything sacrilegious about that. >> absolutely. we should not be going to church inebriated, okay? it's a sacred time and we have to protect the sacred nature. you are right on, dave. that was good intuition. >> alisyn: that was... and also, information i think you may use, and carry forward. >> especially if it is 7:30, 9:00 a.m. mass you shouldn't be drinking before that. >> alisyn: roger that. >> dave: for those of us up since 3:00 a.m. on a sunday, i'll keep that in mind. >> alisyn: thanks, father john. >> all righty. >> alisyn: great to see you. >> dave: coming up the trial for 9/11 manufactustermind might bef indefinitely. peter king joins us next.

friends, a "fox news alert" now for you, lots of activity on capitol hill, freshman orientation getting underway, with new members, beginning to arrive. at -- >> in the lamont hotel -- >> french named hotel i wasn't sure of and there is' battle under way between the establishment and the tea party, both trying to indoctrinate the new members, julie kirtz joins us live from the -- not the lafont hotel, i guesses. >> dave: no, she doesn't stay there. >> studio 3! and, chad our capitol hill producer calls it the congressional equivalent of a greek rush week, and that is because, not only are the in coming members of congress in washington, starting to figure out where their new offices are, and, more, outside groups are busy competing to bring freshmen lawmakers into the fold and as nearly 100 house freshmen, most of them republicans, after the midterms, descend on washington today, for that 6-day crash course on how things work here, they are getting an instant
9:31 am
lesson on the power of outside groups, in washington. there are competing receptions planned, to greet the freshmen with tea party patriots, pushing members to attend their event today. to show where they stand on taxes and spending, the tea party patriots sending out a memo, saying, the insider, lobbyists are trying to co-opt in coming members of congress, and, at least one freshman sees it differently. texas republican bill flores, a tea party favorite there, sending an e-mail to all of the fellow freshmen, blasting one tea party group, for releasing new members' cell phone numbers. accusing the group of being disruptive to our individual efforts to have effective transitions, into our elected offices, in other words, back off, and let new fiscally conservative members try to change washington from within. so this is going to be fascinating to watch. >> alisyn: it sure is. everybody wants a piece of them. and, putting out their cell phone numbers, does seem -- >> dave: tea party patriots
9:32 am
messed it up a little bit and are walking it back. >> alisyn: your headlines, overnight insurgents set fire to a convoy of nato fuel tankers in afghanistan. and, the bomb blasts killed a nato service member and two civilians as afghanistan's president, hamid karzai says the u.s. should end increased raids by special operations forces and he says they aggravate afghans and could strengthen the taliban's insurgency efforts. and winter's fury is hitting early with a vengeance in parts of the midwest, blinding snowstorms are blamed for more than 400 car crashes in minnesota in one day. similarly in wisconsin, two people died when their cars collided on an icy road. sarah palin's new reality show debuts tonight, sarah palin's alaska shows the former vice presidential candidate as an adventure loving wife and mom exploring the outdoors. she spoke about alaska being the only place she and her family would want to live. >> i think, my kids will always call alaska home.
9:33 am
i'd rather be out here, being free. this is what life is all about. >> on a really clear day you can see russia from here! almost! >> alisyn: the show debuts at 9:00 p.m., 8:00 central. after a soldier lost both his legs serving in iraq, he found life back in the u.s., extremely difficult and an organization, homes for troops stepped in and gave keith calhoun and his family a fresh start. >> the home i live in now has stairs and it is difficult to drag myself up the stairs, with these prosthetic legs and i'm thrilled to be able to be able to walk into their room and tuck 'em into bed and know when they yell for me to come to their room, that i can. >> alisyn: homes for our troops built more than 80 homes for injured soldiers, in 33 different states. those are your headlines. >> dave: we're joined by the in coming chairman of the house
9:34 am
homeland security committee, congressman peter king. nice enough to join us on the sunday morning. good to see you, sir. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> dave: let's talk a little bit about this ksm situation. khalid sheikh mohammed, now we hear that he might be at guantanamo bay, until 2012, until after the next presidential election. that is despite the fact that attorney general eric holder led us to believe that a decision is imminent, on his trial and his future. what do you say? >> i say the president has totally messed up the situation. here's something that he thought was a great human rights issue, his first executive order was to shut down guantanamo bay and last november holder announced the trial of khalid sheikh mohammed and the other 9/11 defendants is going to be held in new york city. now they've said virtually nothing for the last year and looks as if they are afraid to makeny decision at all, because the trial should be at guantanamo bay, by a military
9:35 am
tribunal and will not be held in new york city and the president feels, i assume, to having it at guantanamo bay would be too much of a reversal and, doesn't want to go to a military tribunal, apparently and will hold him indefinitely which makes it like the third term of the bush administration, and even president bush after a while said that he was not going to hold him indefinitely and would have a military trial for khalid sheikh mohammed. now, i have no problem with khalid sheikh mohammed being held indefinitely. this is a totally 180-degree turn from what the president and attorney general said, the president during the campaign and eric holder throughout the administration. >> clayton: another thing is happening in ongoing, watching the outcome of the trial of ahmed ghailani, the guantanamo bay detainee, transferred to the u.s., under the obama administration and the jury has been deliberating two days now. heaven forbid that it turns out
9:36 am
to be a not guilty verdict. does that throw everything off for the administration's plans? >> i assume the administration can claim they can hold him because he's an enemy combatant and the war has not ended but it shows the issues that arise and some people make the comparison between the ghailani case and khalid sheikh mohammed and there is no comparison, the african embassy is tragic, those bombings were and human life is human life, but the fact is, the emotional attachment to the african embassy case is nowhere near what it would be with khalid sheikh mohammed. as far as the civilian jury comes back in, i think the administration will hold them and that raises issues in the eyes of the world and the main reason that president obama wanted to have these trials was to somehow satisfy world opinion and i think he's really boxed himself in, it shows that either he was much too extreme in his criticism of president bush, and holder was much too hasty in
9:37 am
having the trial scheduled, the ksm trial in new york without ever speaking to the police commissioner or any of the federal protection services, they were so driven by ideology and now boxed themselves in. >> alisyn: congressman, let's talk about anwar al-awlaki. this week, n.y.p.d.'s counterterrorism division called him the most dangerous man in the world. what happened to usama bin laden? >> i am inclined to agree with the n.y.p.d. on this, because, usama bin laden has been weakened. obviously he is still a large psychological force but anwar al-awlaki, if you notice, most of the recent operations have been carried out, by anwar al-awlaki, who is head of the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and is inspiring many people in this country, not only is anwar al-awlaki leading operations such as the recent yemen congo crisis but a number of terrorist, we have arrested in this country, have been in line with anwar al-awlaki and, major
9:38 am
hasan in fort hood, claims he was dealing with him and anwar al-awlaki is in many ways the spiritual leader of the radical extremist muslims in the way that usama bin laden no longer is, and i think the n.y.p.d., as usual is onto something. dark strengthens the argument that home-grown terrorism is our biggest threat. more with the congressman, in just a couple of minutes, with the new congress taking over, there will be lots of changes. how will the g.o.p. controlled house impact the war on terror. >> alisyn: and a mother's letter about her young son being bullied, got one singer/songwriter inspired. matthew west is here with that mother and son, and the song, that he wrote about their touching story. straight ahead. ♪ ♪
9:42 am
>> alisyn: the republican party won majority control of the house in the midterm elections, as you know, so, what will the dramatic turnover in congress mean for the war on terror? >> clayton: we're back with congressman peter king, of the house homeland security committee. nice to see you, sir. there was concern when the president was running for office, the democrats would be weak on terror and in fact a number of drone attacks increased under president obama's watch and republicans largely have been supportive of the president's campaign against the war on terror. any concerns in the turnover, will things change, get better? >> as you pointed out, i think republicans have given president obama more support in iraq and afghanistan than the rank-and-file democrats have, and, they are more comfortable in supporting his policies there. we do have concern that he has put a deadline of july of next summer which has caused concern among our allies and mated it somewhat more difficult to bring, you know, local tribal chiefs over to our side, having said that, i think that is also being resolved. my concern with the president, as far as dealing with
9:43 am
terrorism, domestically, was that for the first 6 or 7 months of his administration, they refused to use the word "terrorism" and talked about man made disasters and that type of thing and they sent the wrong signal out and i think, also, sometimes the administration speaks with a mixed message, the whole thing of the 9/11 trial, bringing in detainees to the u.s., and i think when the republicans come in you'll see them standing with the president on most foreign policy issues and i think drastically as far as the patriot act and as far as surveillance, republicans will make sure the president maintains a firm policy, but, for instance, we are definitely opposed to closing guantanamo bay and owe evidence posed to bringing prisoners to the u.s. and if he insists on that you'll see a real line of demarcation and a real struggle coming on. >> dave: with you set to become the head of the homeland security committee, regarding what happened a week or so ago with the package situation out of yemen you supported the president's handling of that.
9:44 am
what would you change in charge of the war on terror in terms of the cargo screening policies we have in place? how can you make it a more secure system? >> this is a bipartisan concern, i discussed it with john brennan, the president's homeland security advisor and janet napolitano and had a brief conversation with the president after election day, and i have told janet napolitano, i intend to hold hearings on this, right after the first of the year, because, it is much more difficult to secure cargo planes than passenger planes and have the same level of security, but obviously we have to do more, and we have to have new steps in place, and i don't want to go into details but we need more steps in place and i think it will be a bipartisan issue, being addressed. i wouldn't expect to see any partisan resistance here and talking about billions of tons of cargo being shipped and it is impossible to check it all and we have to do as good a job weiss can to check all we can, especially those that could be potentially dangerous and we
9:45 am
have to have more cooperation from allies and countries overseas and now the british are doing an outstanding job, french, italians and other not so good and this is one area of great importance and not a partisan issue. >> alisyn: we want to get into details with you. cbs news did a chilling in investigation and here's their findings, a significant percentage of inbound cargo on passenger planes is not required to be required and number 2, no technology, approved for screening the large pallets, and containers in any way that meets federal standards and the tsa, this is interesting, 65% of inbound cargo is screened but the report find those estimates are not based on actual data. you will have your work cut out for you. where do you start? >> as far as the passenger flights, in the u.s., 98% of domestic flights get 100% screening, as far as cargo on passenger flights. as far as coming in from
9:46 am
overseas, some countries are better than others and, some, there are real problems with and we are trying to address that. as far that's type of technology, i don't fully agree with cbs there, there are other ways that can be done but, again, the reason i cannot go into detail, there are things we are looking at and we are aware of the problems, believe me, we're aware of the concern and better than cbs, having said that, we still have a ways to go and that is what we'll be focusing on. we'll never get to 100% on cargo, but we'll get as close to it as we possibly can. >> clayton: what discouraged me, both stragadministrations, geor bush and president obama, they didn't do enough to address the passenger rail situation and the transportation and bus situations, and what we saw in spain and london and you go on to a plane, and you have pat downs and screening and, you get onto a train with no one even
9:47 am
looking at your i.d. will you be addressing that. >> you will never get the level of security on mass trans it as you do on planes, people fly and have to go through specific areas to get on and off the plane. in the new york subway system we have over 500 stations, over a thousand entrances, there is no way you can monitor everyone going through it. we need a -- layers of defense and intelligence. and, what happened in madrid, and london, we were concerned about in new york, why we tried to have as many layers as possible and nuclear detectors and that type of thing. intelligence is the main component there, cameras, and mass transit is something which is obviously going to be a real concern and we saw what happened in london, i have been over there and seen the video of what happened in those -- underground there, and, again, is a real threat. but, again, in new york, the n.y.p.d., has done a great job and that is another reason why i was critical of the administration last year, when they reduced mass transit aid for new york city. which has the largest subway
9:48 am
system in the country and is the number one target. >> dave: quickly, before we go, from the war on terror to the war on tax cuts, do you think there will be compromise in the lame duck session to work out a deal on extending the bush tax cuts, so people's taxes don't rise january 1st? >> i think, there has to be and we have to -- can't be decoupling this. the fact is all tax cuts should stay en place. you can't be having a class warfare where we keep low rates for one group and higher for another and the fact is i believe the current rateses should be extended and is the only compromise, how long they are extended but they have to be treated as one. >> clayton: congressman peter king, always great to see you on "fox and friends." thank you so much. >> thank you. >> alisyn: we expect a big ano. from keith shuler this morning but it looks like he may punt on his challenge to pelosi, the breaking details, next. >> dave: and the quarterback will throw it away, if you will. >> clayton: intentional
9:49 am
grounding. >> dave: new album inspired by the lives of his fans, matthew west here with one of those fans whose experience with bullies was turned into a song, he'll play it for us, next. ♪ ♪... the finest invention by far ♪ ♪ even brighter than the brightest star ♪ ♪ who you are to me ♪ oh, your so-called friend... if you have gout, high uric acid can lead to more attacks. ♪ to help reduce attacks, lower your uric acid. uloric lowers uric acid levels in adus with gout.

moments ago congressman keith shuler shying away from an actual announcement, but, reiterating what he has been saying so far, he'd run against nancy pelosi for leader of the democratic party, in the house, if no one else stepped up to the plate. >> it comes down to this coming week, and, she doesn't step aside i will challenge her. >> dave: when asked if democrats could regain the majority in 2012, he said, i don't see that happening if she, nancy pelosi, is at the top of the leadership, shuler is considered to be a conservative democrat, pelosi considered more liberal, needless to say, served as speaker of the house since 2007. ali? >> alisyn: everyone has a story to tell, and with that in mind, grammy nominated singer/songwriter matthew west turned to his fans for inspiration, and the result is his latest cd, "the story of your life." the songs were sparked from the thousands of letters he received and joining us is matthew west. and, also, here are connor and
