>> wait, when i was away wearing all those medals on my chest as well. before the big game, the big freeze. frigid weather knocking out power across the southwest. we may need to power, get this, from mexico to light the super bowl. "fox & friends" from dallas and new york starts right now. >> normally, we would be really jealous that brian had gone down to texas because we would be sitting here in the frigid northeast and yet, brian, what's the temperature at dallas today? >> about 18. >> there you go. >> outside. >> it's winter. >> really, we've gone -- we've had a snow storm every week, steve, as you know, because you do this. for the last six weeks and we fly in here, the weather is in the tes. and there's snow everywhere. we get up in the morning, another four inches on the

ground. still snowing now and in texas, they use sand, not salt. so you kind of -- everyone just agrees to hydroplane together, i guess. >> you got a little grit rather than actual melting. luckily for the big super bowl, it's going to be warm on sunday and today, on our friday telecast, you've got a whole bunch of special guests, don't you? >> tony dungy won a super bowl with the colts, he was fantastic also as head coach with the tampa bay bucs and played on a steeler championship team. tony dungy live here. frank caliando, maybe the most talented man in show business, also fox news personality as george bush, john madden and so many other alter egos. drew brees and mark sanchez together. we've played these teams and competed in these games. mark sanchez lost a game or else he'd be here playing. he'll be joining us, jets quarterback and the reigning super bowl mvp will be here live, you're going to meet some extraordinary kids and some marines who drove in over an hour to watch the show here live at the nfl experience which is

the largest ever. 850,000 square feet of football mania, we'll be showing you the field. showing you all the memorabilia here. but i know, i've been watching like you guys have been watching all morning long. what's happening over in the middle east. >> and let's get to that right now, brian. check back in with you in a second. fox news alert now. right now, the largest protest yet taking place in cairo. it's being called the day of departure protests. hundreds of thousands are in tahrir square demanding president hosni mubarak step down today. the military is on the scene in a sign they are actually supporting the demonstrations. the obama administration says it's in talks with top egyptian officials about the possible of mubarak's immediate resignation. you and the formation of an interim government and a number of journalists in tahrir square has dropped has they become targets for pro mubarak groups. so far, 21 journalists have been attacked including two fox news journalists. just a few minutes ago, iran's

supreme leader weighing in on this saying it's similar to iran's 1979 revolution. let's go live to cairo where leland is standing by in the heart of all the protests. good morning to you. >> we're in a safe location. we're on the phone and can't transmit any pictures to you right now. you can see thousands of people out, all praying. this is the day of prayers and the largest gathering you would typically have in the middle east. however, keep in mind what we're not seeing. we're not seeing the violence that has so marked these protests and those images of molotov cocktails. this has been a relatively peaceful protest. some of our crews were pulled out this morning by some security teams reported that the army was actually doing a lot to try to keep the peace and try to keep those pro mubarak supporters off as they've been called none more than government hired thugs out of the square and allow this demonstration to

happen peacefully. of course, the big question is -- what happened now? will president mubarak actually leave office. a number of people within the opposition camp said you don't have to put in a new leader many we don't have somebody who we want to become president. but president mubarak's vice president omar suleiman would be an acceptable choice to move in and to build a transition government and it looks like that is, perhaps, what the obama administration is trying to put forth in a way to both pacify these protesters and end these massive demonstrations that have brought cairo and the entire country to its knees while at the very same time, ensuring sort of a peace and a peaceful transition of power here in egypt. gretchen? >> leland, thank you for your continuing coverage. we'll check back with you as the day progresses. one of the things they've been saying is after the afternoon prayers is when we actually might see more of the protests happening. >> and it is seven hours ahead so it's four minutes after 1:00 in the afternoon. as we look at those live pictures and we heard at the beginning that there are

thousands of people right now in tahrir square. what's interesting is the military and these are the peaceful people. these are the people who want mubarak out today. and then apparently, at the access points into the square, they've got the military and they're trying to keep the anti-mubarak -- rather, the pro mubarak people from coming in and causing trouble because there has been a lot of trouble and not just beating up the peaceful protesters but so far, 21 journalists have been attacked. and brian, it has gotten personal for us here at fox because two of our own were involved yesterday. >> yeah, you had greg palkot and another, they were both attacked yesterday. they were in their hotel, we understand, molotov cocktails started coming in, they were beaten up maybe in the hall where they had to go to the hospital and you may have more up-to-date information but the last i hear, they were at the hospital detained and they were allowed to leave but i look forward to getting an update on their condition and for the last two days, wednesday and thursday, something has been consistent.

journalists for everywhere from al jazeera to turkey to greece to the u.s., different netted wor wor wo -- networks and "the washington post" have been beat up and detained. hillary clinton blames the egyptian military despite all the chaos. listen. >> there is a clear responsibility by the egyptian government including the army to protect those threatened and to hold accountable those responsible for these attacks. the egyptian government must demonstrate its willingness to ensure journalists' ability to report on these events to the people of egypt and to the world. >> i think what the scary thing here is that if they're actually pro democracy in these demonstrations, i mean, taking on the media and the journalists obviously isn't democratic and obviously some of these things may have been warranted from the government there. the pro mubarak government but

here's the thing, they're denying that. they're denying that they had anything to do, of course, with those pro mubarak supporters coming in a few days ago and causing all of the violence that happened. and they're denying, of course, that they had anything to do with roughing up these journalist who's are just there to try to tell the rest of the world what's happening. >> and i think that you just hit the nugget right on the head there, gretchen, that is that they don't want the pictures that were coming out yesterday and the day before continuing. you know, and so they cut off the access. it's extraordinary that we do have live pictures of tahrir square right now. also very telling is the fact that yesterday, hosni mubarak sat down for an interview with abc news but they didn't televise it. but they said what mubarak said is i'm fed up with being president. and i would quit today, brian, except there would be chaos. i'm troubled by the violence and my government is not responsible for any of the problems. >> right. you know, he also -- the vice

president actually invited the muslim brotherhood to talk but he says he's unhappy when egyptians fighted egyptians according to abc reports and it's also quick to point out, what do you want if he leaves? he thinks there will be a huge power vacuum and there was a lot to be his doing, he never even named a vice president to replace him when he took the job. but he also -- a lot of people are saying wait a second, u.s., europe, nato allies, before you rush him out, think about what is next. and ed lutak, a "wall street journal" -- columnist in "the wall street journal" today, senior advisor of strategic international studies. this thing could go really bad if we force him out and don't exercise patience. for example, those peasants in the field, he has supporters out there and the government provides a lot of food and basic supplies for the entire nation so if he leaves, who is going to step in there and i don't know, feed the people, so to speak. are we going to be responsible

for keeping the levers of government open? is this going to be iraq revisited? >> excellent point, brian, but the fact of the matter is the u.s. is walking on a tightrope right now because apparently there's a deal of some sort in the works where the u.s. is working to have the newly named vice president omar suleiman take over in this interim period and have mubarak step out but at the same time, you have mubarak saying that egypt is his country, he lived there and he will die there. it's interesting because the united states can't seem as if they're actually dictating who should be the next leader. >> although the key is -- we're given a choice between mohamed elbaradei or the military, you know, we the united states have to hope it's the military of egypt that really does run the levers of power, as you put it a moment ago, brian, because they are the stable ones. plus we've got some influence over them. and we don't really over the guy

who used to be at the united nations. >> all right. brian -- >> i'd like to add this. our vice president, gretchen, talked to their vice president suleiman, vice president biden and said basically that what you just mentioned, the problem is the egyptian constitution says the speaker takes over, not the vice president so if we are speaking to the vice president and telling him to take over, how is it that we're not going to look like we are dictating how things are going over there. very difficult situation but it looks as though we are pulling all the strings. >> all right, brian. stick around, if you will, because i have to do a couple other top stories for everyone right now. you're looking at a live aerial picture coming in from dallas, texas, right near where brian is where the city is blanketed in several inches of snow. thousands of people from texas all the way to california in the cold thanks to power outages, frozen pipelines and unusually high demand for heat. and this is oklahoma, not much better. the scene in tulsa where people are digging out of almost two feet of snow this morning. let's go to miami, oklahoma. d

didn't know there was a miami, oklahoma. recovering from a crash that killed three others. a chevy truck careened off the icy road and plunged 80 feet into the spring river. terrifying moments for passengers on a greyhound bus when the bus was hijacked. it was headed for raleigh, north carolina, when a man became irate, pulled a gun and threatened the driver and the passengers. most of the passengers were able to escape when the bus stopped at an exit. the driver then headed for the next stop in the town of henderson. the cops were ready, armed with stun guns and take down the hijacker. no one was hurt. no word yet on a motive. moments ago, we learned shuttle commander mark kelly will head to space for endeavor's final flight. sources say kelly, the husband of congresswoman gabrielle giffords will make the official announcement at a press conference later today. the launch date is september for april 19th. at the national prayer breakfast in washington, kelly said his wife is making progress at a rehab center in houston. former governor sarah palin will deliver the keynote address tonight to commemorate president

ronald reagan's 100th birthday. reagan 100 opening banquet is being hosted by the young americas foundation at reagan's former ranch in california. palin expected to reflect on the president's time for choosing speech. and draw comparisons between america then and now. and those are your headlines. >> all right. meanwhile, let's tell you a little bit about something that happened a couple of nights ago in washington, d.c. they've got this great, big black tie event called the alfalfa dinner and there were a bunch of big shots at the table. valerie jarrett was there, william daley, the guy that's the chief of staff at the white house, couple of supreme court justices. valerie jarrett got a little thirsty at one point and saw this guy, you know, obviously a waiter walking by and said excuse me, can you get me a glass of wine? the guy turned around and she realized hey, wait a second, that guy is general -- four star general peter shirella. she had asked the vice chief of staff for the army to get her a drink. she thought, brian, he was a

waiter. >> now, they told gretchen this before, a lot of times when i go to ace hardware on the weekends people think i work there to find the nails or the screws or some type of latch, i get that. but when a guy is walking around in his mid 50's with a chess full of medals and i don't understand how you can mistake him for a waiter. >> all right. let me just say that in valerie jarrett's slight defense, he apparently was behind her. she was sitting at the table. apparently, they've made up because she is now going to have a dinner date with him in march and she said she's going to bring the wine or buy the wine. >> and he actually did as a joke bring her a glass of wine. so all is well that ends well. >> right. let's talk about this brian. >> waiter in the history of america. >> brian, can you get me some toast during the commercial? >> no. i can just go out for passes for you. why do you ask that? >> ok, fine. never mind. >> let's talk about this and check back with you in a bit.

ronald reagan said america is on the brink of a recession. what can we learn from his experience? >> remember the union auto workers caught boozing on the job in they got fired. their friends missed the memo. wait until you hear how their buddies have been enjoying the break.

>> when former president ronald reagan first took office, he faced the greatest economic recession since the depression. he knew that getting the country moving again meant reining in government. >> it's time to recognize that we've come to a turning point. we're threatened with an economic calamity of tremendous proportions. and the old business as usual treatment can't save us. that means above all, bringing government spending back within government revenues which is the

only way together with increased productivity that we can reduce and yes, eliminate inflation. >> i miss that guy. so what can we learn from reagan's words as we get ready to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birthday on sunday. stuart varney joins us live. those were the days, weren't they? >> yes and i remember them well. well, look, today in about two hours time, three hours time, the government is going to tell us that unemployment is still well above 9%. we're going to get a snapshot of the economy today 19 months after the recession supposedly ended. this is the result of president obama's attempt to get us out of that nasty recession with massive government spending and stimulus. it is a direct contrast to what you just saw from president reagan 30 years ago. >> sure. >> he inherited a terrible recession. 15% mortgage rates, 12% inflation. that's what he inherited. he attacked it in a different way. he went after private enterprise. he encouraged private enterprise

with massive tax cuts. and the result was he set off a major boom for the economy that lasted 10, 15 years. >> right. wouldn't you think that president obama and his team of advisors would be looking to the way in which reagan did it if they face a similar crisis which they do? >> you could say that it was a different crisis but what you got to say is they had different ideologies. president obama believes firmly in government. ronald reagan did not. >> all right. maybe that's why barack obama's been reading up on reagan throughout the last couple of months we've been told. also, i did love, stuart, the fact that reagan at the end of his administration said the people, not the government created 19 million jobs. >> i have to tell you that it was ronald reagan who putt me into the american middle class. 30 years ago, struggling along and he got me a tax cut. >> all right. we'll put you straight into your show at 9:20. you'll have steve forbes, i

understand. >> all the way through the show. >> have a good weekend. coming up in our show, the unrest in egypt could face a domino effect. yemen and jordan teeterring on the edge with protests of their own. ollie north knows the lay of the land and he's here next with the big picture outlook. >> brand new video just released that shows what happened really before charlie sheen was rushed to the hospital. oh, my goodness. you got to see this.

>> all right. quick headlines for you from the control room right now. explosive new allegations against bernie madoff's bank j.p. morgan chase. madoff victims suing saying they were warned he may have been running a scam and did nothing to stop him. we know how that happened. carelessness with fireworks

during a chinese new year's celebration is blamed for two deaths and hundreds of injuries in beijing. they reportedly started a fire that gutted an entire five-star hotel. thankfully, no injuries. all right, gretch. back to you. >> uprising in egypt is having a ripple effect across the middle east. just this week, jordan dumped its newly appointed prime minister while yemen's leader announced he won't seek re-election. why were they so quick to fold? joining me now, fox news military analyst lieutenant colonel oliver north, the host of war stories and author of americans in operations. >> this was not reading the tea leaves to predict the future. this was looking at the smoke blowing from west to east from both tunis and egypt that caused both jordan and yemen to start making adjustments. >> is it enough, though? is it enough to say the prime minister is gone and i'm not going to seek re-election in yemen? >> very good question and the sad answer is we don't know. and we don't know because our

human intelligence on the ground, gretchen, is abysmal. we do not have the c.i.a. to go. i just saw stuart varney talking about the economy under ronald reagan. he and i are both old enough to remember, you kids aren't. it's remarkable what little is being remembered in washington particularly about what transpired leading up to the iranian revolution and how ronald reagan came in and began to change things. >> so we've been talking a lot on this show about the history of these other nations and what typically happens when there's an uprising. and if you look at precedent, it doesn't bode well. >> no. >> for the future of egypt, jordan or yemen because you have ruling factions like hamas and hezbollah and ahmadinejad now in power. >> and you can take it a step further and go to saudi arabia and the gulf emirates where we get most of our oil nowadays because we don't take our own. the long-term portent for what's transpiring right now in egypt

looks inevidentably worse and the strong likelihood that as a consequence of things that have been said by this administration, mubarak will go. >> let's take a listen since you brought that up. i want you to listen to obama's spokesperson robert gibbs. >> the time for a transition has come and that time is now. the egyptian people need to see change. >> and now is the operative word there. the president had said it the night before and there was some ambiguity with the word now. did he mean that day that mubarak should go or now in september elections? >> he reiterated that now means yesterday. >> is that right or wrong? >> it's wrong because what it does is entices those who might say he said he was going to go. that was our objective. we can wait for them to come up with a formula for free and proper elections. we can wait for the interim

government to get established. we don't need to stay out here in the streets burning things and destroying things unless, of course, you're part of the muslim brotherhood and the muslim brotherhood is not anxious to see this become anything except an islamist state and a model of what they -- what's now been accomplished in hezbollah's lebanon or in iran with the shiites. >> that's the concern. >> it is. >> for the rest of the world. >> colonel oliver north, always great to see you. >> great to be with you, gretchen. >> all right, steve? >> thanks, ollie. thanks, gretch. meanwhile, barney frank spent more than $4 million to battle a tea party backed republican. he nearly lost. so is the 70-year-old ready to do it all over again? answer on the other side of the break. we go back to dallas where brian is being put through the paces literally plus wait until you see what happened at the super bowl parties last night. but first, happy birthday to alice cooper, the rocker who named himself after a witch doctor is it 63 years old today.

we have our party man who has been on the streets and has a party at night from a reporter perspective, doing the journalism that we weren't willing to do last night because we had to get up so early. >> tough job, somebody has to do it. >> look forward to that. let's do a couple of quick headlines. fort hood accused gunman was a ticking time bomb who was ignored according to a scathing report just released by the senate. it says the f.b.i. and defense department missed warning signs that hasan had become a militant islamist. hasan, of course, accused of murdering 13 people including a pregnant woman. an army general expected to decide next month whether hasan is mentally fit to stand trial. >> meanwhile, barney frank not going away without a fight. the massachusetts congressman officially seeking his 17th term in congress next year. there was speculation that the 70-year-old might retire but frank wants to stick around to fight tea party favorite michelle bachmann who is trying to kill the financial overhaul bill with his name on it. >> remember when those chrysler

factory workers got busted on camera drinking beer and smoking dope on their union lunch breaks? >> hate to be a buzz kill but shouldn't you guys be building cars? don't you guys work out at the chrysler factory? you know, the government spent a lot of money bailing you guys out. >> yep. three other workers at the same plant apparently didn't see this video or get the memo. they were arrested, police busted them going back to work after visiting a drug den. one guy reportedly got caught stocking his locker with cocaine, pills and pot. they've all been suspended without pay. only suspended? interesting. >> yeah. meanwhile, you've got to see this to believe it. look. newly released video shows charlie sheen, i believe that's

the guy in the white shirt dancing and drinking the night away just before he was admitted to the hospital with severe stomach pains last week. the star of "two and a half men" allegedly under the influence of cocaine at the time. sheen now undergoing rehab from his house which i believe is the scene of that party. >> maybe he got a stomach ache from all that dancing. they said he pulled a hernia. >> from laughing too much, brian. >> yeah. really feel for him on that. and that's the problem when you party with all these people. the laughing gets so out of control, sometimes you hurt yourself and we've been over that. that's why we stay in. let's talk about what's happening in the world of sports. andy petitte expected to officially announce he's retiring. the three time all star has been a staple in the yankees bull pen. actually in the starting rotation for 13 seasons. has helped the team win five world series. the yankees were pleading with him to stick around. he said he wants to spend more time with his wife and four

children who are in the prime of their athletic careers. he'll stay home in texas. he'll make it official. let's talk about the game here in dallas. pittsburgh steeler quarterback ben roethlisberger letting off some presuper bowl steam. it shows big ben relaxing like big ben can singing karaoke to his teammates in a bar in fort worth, texas, this earlier this week. patrons of the bar say roethlisberger was buying drinks for everyone including himself. the tab was over $1,000. he tipped $200. reportedly ordered himself a rum and diet coke, concerned about his abs. that is certainly something else. i do enjoy his choice of music which is, i think, to me billy joel he was singing. so that's certainly good. and the big game is only two days away. football's biggest stars already celebrating the season. they're here in studio and around this city. big daddy, rich delgado has been the guy on the scene straight from the pro bowl right to the super bowl week.

he told me what's happening with the hottest parties. let's take a look. >> it's a little cold here in dallas but we're here at the moves magazine party which is the hottest party here in town this week. so we're going to go inside and we're going to check out what everybody is hopping and screaming and yelling about. let's go see >> this is a treat. i never thought that the big daddy would be interviewing me. i mean, this is -- we got to get a little bit more make-up and probably some better threads and we can get your job. >> big daddy is the man. i remember going to pro bowls hanging out with this guy, he's amazing. he's pretty in the face and always slim in the waist. >> this is my new agent.

>> quick headlines for you on this friday morning. a big marijuana bust near the mexican border. patrol agents in tucson found an abandoned pickup full of about $1.5 million worth of pot. meanwhile, a terrifying moment as a child falls on to the train tracks and it's all caught on surveillance video. the 10-year-old was so distracted by his video game he walked right off the subway platform. kaboom, look at that. an off-duty police officer jumped on to the tracks and rescued him. this happened in milan, italy. and both are just fine. he better not do it again! >> a federal judge blasting president obama for ignoring his order to lift a ban on off-shore drilling in the gulf and now some people are worried the president won't listen to the courts again as they rule the health care law unconstitutional. joining us now to weigh in is fox news judicial analyst and host of freedom watch on the fox business network, judge andrew napolitano. do you say any parallels there? >> i see a parallel there.

in the case of the gulf moratorium, the administration had issued 31 permits and because the b.p. disaster pulled all 31 permits, even though the b.p. problem didn't exist for 30 of the 31. the drillers sued, judge feldman and u.s. district court in new orleans said there's no basis for this moratorium. the government -- there he is, the government appealed judge feldman and the government lost the appeal and he signed a second order saying to the interior department, issue those permits, the drillers went to get the permits and the interior department refused. wednesday, he held the interior department in contempt for refusing to follow his order. now, will judge vincent in florida who invalidated the entire health care reform act do the same thing because he found it unconstitutional and the government is still enforcing it. implementing it. >> sure, you know when i read this story about how, ok, the moratorium was installed and the judge said you can't -- you got to get rid of that and for them -- for the federal government just to say, forget you.

we're going to do what we want to do and essentially reinvent a new moratorium, why even bother having judges? >> second moratorium, the second gulf moratorium was imposed for the exact same reasons that judge feldman found were invalid to impose the first one. now, he specifically ordered them to reissue the permits. if judge vincent in florida specifically orders the secretary of health and human services not to implement the statute and she does, then he can hold her in contempt. >> does the interior department care that they're being held in contempt? >> very good question. the federal government usually doesn't care. >> it happens all the time. >> if it's a fine, it doesn't come from their pocket. it comes from the pocket of the taxpayers. and as far as the interior department is concerned, they're the executive branch. they consider themselves an equal with the judge. guess what? nobody is an equal with the judge in the judge's courtroom and if he signs an order to do something, you have to either comply or appeal. in this case, they appealed and they lost. and they still didn't comply. >> you got a lot of energy for a friday, judge.

>> friday morning. >> thank you for -- >> we're talking to dan gillerman, former israeli ambassador to the u.n. how bad is this problem in egypt for israel? >> bad. >> very. >> it's going to be a big -- >> thank you, guys. where's kilmeade, by the way? did i see him tackle some guy three times his size? >> he tried. >> deep in the heart of texas. >> there he is having fun. >> at the nfl experience. >> have a great weekend. >> pleasure. >> here's what's coming up on the show. we report on them all the time, near collisions in the sky. a plan to open a new skyway in the air? we'll explain. look at how close that is. >> cars are burning and people are dying. yet some members of the mainstream media claim they share the same role as the tea party. what? >> president hosni mubarak has said i'd resign but egypt will descend into chaos. yeah, then he said now, if you excuse me, i have to go look out a window for the first time in

two weeks. >> we've got a flood. hits the road, the nose the angels start second guessing where they tread. ♪ cl 1-800-steemer ♪ [ male announcer ] take an italian masterpiece home. excuse me. buitoni?

>> all right. you are looking live at tahrir square in downtown cairo where, as you can see, thousands of protesters are getting louder after 10 days of demonstrating and the media, of course, has been covering it all. has the reporting been fair? joining us right now is the founder and president of the media research center, brent bosell. good morning to you. >> good morning, how are you? >> i'm doing fine. overall, what have you thought of the coverage? >> we're in the hard news phase of a story. the hard news phase tends to be more fair and honest than the soft is which is the analytical phase. there are the blips and we'll

cover a couple of them now but overall in the hard news phase, it's been pretty good. >> that's good to hear. all right. let's talk about some of the blips, as you put them. it's interesting, over on another newschannel, fella by the name of chris matthews compared what is happening on the streets of cairo and the muslim brotherhood which has extremist ties to the tea party. here's a clip. >> so the muslim brotherhood has a parallel role here with the tea party. they're the ones that keep you honest and decide whether you've stayed too long, whether you've got a sell by date looming. >> there's craziness out there on the right and the fact that these war looping nut bags, some of them are deciding who the senators should be should make the democrats feel like your self-centrist democrats pretty happy because you're trying to move the democratic party to the center while the republican party is flaming off to the right. >> he's shameless. isn't he? >> yeah. chris matthews is not a journalist. he's a parody of himself.

he's a walking parody. this is the kevin bacon four degrees of separation. how can i tie the tea party or george bush to any bad news? it's so pathetic, i was thinking about this last night. if a meteor came out of the heavens and hit new york city, he'd blame the tea party or george bush. if that meteor hit fox news, he'd credit barack obama. >> of course. >> well played. all right, meanwhile, here's another little something that you picked up on your radar, how the mainstream media have been playing down the muslim brotherhood which, as i mentioned a moment ago, does have ties to terror. watch. >> the muslim brotherhood is telling the army that it can be a reasonable, rational organization. they were once nice people. i mean, if you fell down in the street, they'd help you out. if you didn't have enough money for the bus, they would give you money. >> it isn't a bunch of sort of, you know, raving lunatic islamic

fundamentalists or, you know, of osama bin laden. the muslim brotherhood is made up of a lot of professional men who are -- and women who are, you know, they're certainly fundamentalists in their beliefs about islam. but the group itself a long time ago rejected violence. >> ok. quickly, mr. bosell? >> boy, this is serious. this is -- these are useful idiots. rational, reasonable, this is a group that supports osama bin laden. this is a group that is agitating for egypt to go to war next month with israel and these people are calling them rational. these are useful idiots, steve. >> all right. before you go, i've got to ask you. >> one more quick thing. >> 21 journalists have been attacked including two fox news journalists. >> yeah, let's be very serious about something here for a second. winston churchill once said about democracy when he was

asked about it. he said it's the worst form of government except for all the rest. let's remember something about american journalism. it's the worst form of journalism except for all the rest. you have some people trying to do a good job. we should say a prayer for them. this is dangerous. this is serious and people are getting hurt and we should worry about them. >> all right. brent joining us from florida today. thank you, sir. >> thanks, steve. >> gretch? >> thank you, steve. buy an electric car and get a hefty tax credit but buy a gas guzzling hummer and get a hefty tax credit? how is the government letting that happen? and brian is getting into the game. he can throw but can kilmeade catch? i know he can.

>> tgif, everyone. it's friday, february 4th. i'm gretchen carlson. thank you for sharing your time. let's start with the fox news alert. let's go to egypt and the largest protests we've seen yet. this is a live look now at tahrir square where nearly 1 million people are going to gather demanding that president mubarak step down today. but will he go or will he stay? >> all right. passenger planes flying so close together, it looks like they might even touch. so why is the federal government spending millions to let the planes fly even closer? >> and it's become a super bowl tradition that you just can't turn off. the puppy bowl. the dogs are live in our studio for their final practice before the big game. "fox & friends" and fido for a friday starts right now.

>> all right. we might be going to the dogs here in our studio but brian kilmeade has gone nuts with the dogs but to dallas and the nfl experience. the big super bowl sunday. good morning to you, sir. >> yeah, i don't know what you guys are doing but in 48 hours, we'll have super bowl xlv. the first ever one in north texas and we thankfully are indoors today because outside it's actually -- it's horrible. i mean, it's 6 inches of snow. there's ice. locusts and everything is out those doors but it's really calm here. you know, you have 850,000 square feet. i've been to every nfl experience, i believe, all have been outdoors except this one. we're going to be showing you what everyone is experiencing. it's one of these things where you go to from city to city and in new york, they'll have it in 2014 and you totally interact. i mean, you run patterns. you get involved. you can see every super bowl ring. 44 super bowl rings. all the memorabilia.

have a real life locker rooms so you'll see it here and give you an idea of what's happening. coming to our wonderful field here which is natural field turf, tony dungy will be here live. he won a super bowl with peyton manning. frank caliando didn't one a super bowl, doesn't have a ring but have voices of people in his head that have won rings before. drew brees, the reigning for a few more days super bowl mvp with the new orleans saints will be joining us and mark sanchez for the second consecutive year. two years out of college. he was one win shy of coming to the super bowl. they'll be side by side here. it's going to be fun and you'll meet some marines, some air force and some army who came down to be part of the fun but it's really, really bad out there. some of them drove three or four hours to be a part of the extravaganza. >> thank you very much. we look forward to all of those guests and, of course, our puppy bowl in the studio but first back to the news. >> yep. all right. we have a fox news alert for you as we follow the breaking details in egypt. cairo's tahrir square right now is packed with thousands of

anti-government protesters. they're peaceful right now. it's being called the day of departure. activists are demanding president mubarak step down today. that's the departure day. today. the military is on the scene in a sign they are supporting the peaceful demonstration. meanwhile, the obama administration said it's in talks with top egyptian officials about the possibility of mubarak's immediate resignation and the formation of an interim government. and the number of journalists in cairo has dropped as they have become targets for violence by the pro mubarak groups. so far, 21 journalists have been attacked including two from fox news. and overnight, iran's supreme leader weighing in saying the uprising is an islamic liberation similar to iran's revolution back in 1979. >> talk a little bit about what's happening in the live pictures now because, unfortunately, we're awaiting for afternoon prayers to end in cairo and other cities in egypt because that's when this day of

departure supposedly is going to really heat up and we hope obviously violence does not return. see from the live pictures here there are plenty of people that have come back out to the square today. >> yeah. and in fact, so the idea today on the day of departure is the egyptians are going to be marching on mubarak's palace and also the people's assembly and the television building this afternoon. and we should -- we mentioned television. television images over the last 24 hours have been rare because the government has effectively cracked down on journalists, luckily, we do have leland live with us right now from cairo. leland, what's going on? >> good morning, guys. the government has done a lot more than crack down on the media. they've actually banned us from filming on any balcony. they've said they are going to kick us out of the hotel and possibly confiscate equipment if they find people doing that. you can tell from the pictures that this protest today has a

very different tone than yesterday or the day before when we saw those huge clashes and those terrible pictures. today, it is largely peaceful. the anti-government protesters have been able to come to this square in peace. they had their friday prayers about an hour ago. those wrapped up and now the protest has begun. we're told by some people who have been from the scene, there were groups of anti-government protesters had formed their own barricade in order to be able to check everyone coming in and make sure none of them were these pro mubarak protesters. so the tone has changed. it's certainly gotten a lot more peaceful than we've seen. that's the good news. the big question is what happens to president mubarak? it seems like the army is at least in some ways protecting the demonstrators or certainly using a lot more show of force in order to prove that they are there. the question is does mubarak step out? then the question becomes who comes in? what's interesting is the protesters have not put forth their own candidate. they say that so long as the

president steps down, if the vice president omar suleiman steps in, that will be ok as they form a transitional government. guys? >> leland live for us. that's very interesting. you would think the protesters wouldn't be that in favor of suleiman since he is technically part of this current administration but what's the great news coming out of there today is it's peaceful, brian, as we know, journalists have become the victims of some of this violence and almost being targeted on purpose. so could it be because they don't want those images coming out of egypt anymore showing exactly what's going on and, unfortunately, it hit home close for us because two or three of our very own here at fox were part of the violence. >> yeah, ashley webster, greg palkot all this week were beaten up and knocked aroun yesterday. joining them getting knocked around and detained at different times, almost two dozen journalists and it really is something that wasn't taking place sunday, monday and tuesday at which time we were seeing peaceful demonstrations in the streets. it wasn't until wednesday when

we saw the so-called supporters of hosni mubarak come off -- be dropped off in buses, exchange their posters for some weapons and have a different agenda and you would think after the violence that took place on wednesday and the interior minister coming out and saying i condemn that, don't worry, it won't happen again. you wouldn't think it would happen again. that's exactly what happened and secretary of state hillary clinton think the army is responsible for keeping them safe. >> there is a clear responsibility by the egyptian government including the army to protect those threatened and to hold accountable those responsible for these attacks. the egyptian government must demonstrate its willingness to ensure journalists' ability to report on these events to the people of egypt and to the world. >> and yesterday, that simply was not the case. lara logan from cbs, she was

detained. i understand that, apparently, one of the correspondents from abc news and his crew were threatened with beheading. so it will be interesting to see what happens today on the biggest day of all the protests. >> yet, you have mubarak in an interview that he did saying and denying that his government has anything to do with those pro mubarak protesters coming in and creating this violence and remember in the early days when greg palkot was reporting for us a few days ago, he said that the army was doing nothing. that they were standing there allowing that violence to happen so it's interesting to see now that apparently, the army has been told to not let the violence happen. so was it all staged? was it all orchestrated for pro mubarak supporters and by mubarak himself? he says no. >> brian? >> yeah, well, the few things to add there. one thing is certainly certain. if you try to find out what happened and how this entire situation went south, after hosni mubarak and president obama had a 30 minute conversation, it turns out after

president obama made that speech where in turn, he said time to leave, time to leave now, that's when hosni mubarak really dug in, got angry and told our special ambassador, i'm not going to meet with you again. i have nothing to say so he just picked up and went home. so he lost a little bit of leverage. when it comes to money, the appropriations committee ranking member senator leahy yesterday, excuse me, the committee chairman said yesterday he's threatening now to cut off all aid to egypt until some type of order is restored and mubarak is told to step aside. actually does step aside. >> and brian, speaking of that aid, dick morris brought that up on the o'reilly program where he said, look, we give them $1.3 billion in the past year. they should be listening to us. here's dick. >> we're a dominant influence with the egyptian military. we give them $1.3 billion of military aid a year. total budget of egypt is $46 billion. so a huge portion of the army

money comes from us. and when we tell the army, cool it. don't go after them. don't be aggressive, back off. let this happen. we're exercising a dominant influence over what's happening there which we are going to live to regret. >> interesting analysis. all right, brian. stand by for a minute. we'll do some other headlines, stories making headlines this morning. terrifying moments for passengers on a greyhound bus when the bus was hijacked. it was headed for raleigh, north carolina, when a man became irate, pulled a gun and threatened the driver and the passengers. most of the passengers were able to escape when the bus stopped at an exit. the driver headed for the next stop in the town of henderson. cops are ready, armed with stun guns to take down the hijacker. no one was hurt. no word yet on a motive. this morning, we learned shuttle commander mark kelly will, in fact, head to space for endeavor's final flight. sources say kelly, the husband of congresswoman gabrielle giffords will make the official announcement at a press conference later today. the launch date set for

april 19th. at the national prayer breakfast in washington, kelly said his wife is making progress at that rehab center in houston. explosive new allegations against bernie madoff's bank, j.p. morgan chase. madoff's victims suing the bank for $6.4 billion claiming the bank was warned that madoff may have been running a scam and did nothing to stop him. j.p. morgan chase calls the charges meritless and based on distortions. they used to be friends. janet harris who was a frequent guest on dr. phil's show and a close friend of his wife now suing them. harris claims dr. phil's dog maggie bit her while at their house back in 2009. she claims the bite caused a severe infection in her arm and caused hearing loss. phil and his wife said they paid for her to take a lavish vacation to hawaii a few weeks later and gave her the home owner's insurance but she never filed a claim. >> speaking of dogs, you a puppy bowl coming up.

i heard them yelping over there. >> the goal of the puppy bowl to get people to take home a puppy. >> i think it's alternative programming, brian, we'll tell you more about it in a moment. right now, we told you yesterday about this one. wikileaks is nominated for the nobel peace prize. does a guy accused of putting american lives in danger deserve the honor? our political panel debates that next. >> and we just mentioned, have you ever actually seen the puppy bowl? we have the practice round here in our studio this morning and you can adopt all of these beautiful puppies. >> and then we're getting a kick out of these kids. they're getting into the game down in dallas, just before the super bowl on the friday. we'll be right back. i'm robert shapiro.

cables and now wikileaks founder julian assange has been nominated for a nobel peace prize. i'm not making that up. by a norweigian politician who claims that wikileaks is an important contribution to freedom of speech. so he right? our political panel is here to weigh in. rich lowry is the editor of the national review, ward zuckerman is the publisher of "the new york daily noews" and "u.s. nes & world report." maybe the nobel people are just tired of actually honoring people who were involved in human rights and it's time to do -- pull another arafat. >> well, i have to be clear about something here, steve, it's much harder to get a best picture nomination from the academy awards than it is to get nominated for the nobel prize. pretty much anyone can do it. there are 200 a year and assange is kind of slimy anti-americanism has made him the hero for a slice of the so-called international community. so it doesn't surprise me that

he got this nomination. it would surprise me if he actually gets the prize but as you say, if yasser arafat can get it, anything can happen. >> mort, this guy put people's lives in danger. in fact, he even admitted some people were probably massacred in kenya because of the diplomatic dump. >> yes. i think there's another part of it in addition to that, you know, if diplomacy is going to have any effect in trying to diffuse conflicts in the world, there has to be confidentiality and he violated that opportunity in many different places for diplomacy to be effective. if that's their version of somebody who deserves a nobel peace prize, you have a totally different understanding of what that's about. >> no kidding. wearing red today because it's wear red today to raise awareness about heart disease. >> am i the only one who didn't know this? >> apparently so. >> can we not like put to the side the fact that he's actually accused of raping two women and since when --

>> why has that been played down by the mainstream media. >> how does that get you a nobel peace prize nomination. we have to see how that all plays out when the trials happen but really to, i think, just say to women, rape, doesn't matter like our congress is trying to do right now but that's a big issue why he shouldn't win the nobel peace prize. >> that's such a good point. you're a publisher. i'm sure you saw him on ""60 minutes" talking about as a publisher i do this and too that. as a publisher for the "u.s. news & world report" and ""the daily news"" would you have published that stuff. >> it depends on what stuff you're referring to. the role of the news world is different from the role of somebody who goes ahead and steals all of these documents. there's some stuff that we would publish and frankly, some stuff that we wouldn't. i'm not in the business to help other people. i'm in the business of producing

real crisis in the world or putting lives at risk, that's not what i'd like to do. >> it is an irony that he thought he was going to undo the american empire and reveal all this american wrongdoing in these documents. they tended to show, if anything, we're really naive about the world but he has dealt a blow against arab dictatorship. because he's helped start the ball rolling in tunisia and now it's rolling on into egypt. >> absolutely true. all right, stand by, panel. we continue on. the egyptian president says he can't step down because the country would sink into chaos. well, one of our panelists says this is a slap in the face but to whom? we'll talk about that. and buy an energy saving car and get a tax credit. buy a hummer? get the same tax credit. how is that allowed to happen? and then the final practice round before sunday's other big game. the puppy bowl! and how you can adopt each and every one of them hound dogs. ♪ just one bite opens a world of delight... ♪

>> now your news by the numbers. first 13,000, that's how many americans falsely claimed tax credits on electric cars last year. one person tried to claim the 7500 credit for their hummer! another person for a golf cart. next, one day. that's how long it took the iphone 4 to sell out in its first round of presales. the highly anticipated iphone available to verizon customers for the very first time. hey, you can hear the puppies over there. finally, $4.2 million. that's how much money the federal government is giving jet blue for new gps system. the technology will allow planes to fly closer together on more direct routes. kind of like an h.o.v. lane for the skies.

pretty cool. >> it is cool. meanwhile, we got a fox news alert and right there, you're looking at the largest gathering of anti-government protesters so far calling once again for president mubarak to leave today. today is the day of departure. so far, things are peaceful. last night, mubarak told abc news he wants to leave but he can't. >> when i asked him about whether he would step down now, he said to me, you know, i've been in public service for 62 years. and now i'm fed up and i want to retire. but if i resign now, he said, there will be chaos and i'm afraid the muslim brotherhood will take over. >> ok. so would his departure really make things worse? we continue the conversation with our political panel and let's start with you. >> well, there's chaos now. i absolutely think that the transition has to be managed in a really responsible way. but to hear someone say that it's all about me and if i leave right now, everything is going

to go crazy is somewhat of a god/allah complex. >> slap in the face. >> yep, it's a slap in the face. they aren't chanting suleiman must go. i live up by the u.n. the protests that have been happening, it's all about he must go. we need to find a way. first, the negotiations with the opposition have to happen. they have to release the journalists that are being detained and they have to hold the thugs accountable but we need to start that transition. >> and go that everybody on the couch agrees with today, muslim brotherhood. not a good outfit. not a good outfit at all. we forget that hosni mubarak was sitting next to anwar sadat which anwar sadat was killed by the muslim brotherhood. they're a very, very dangerous group and were they to take over in egypt, it would be a game changer for the united states and for all the western countries for decades, it would be a disaster for us so we have to help manage that process from one democracy -- from one government to another. it may be a democracy but it shouldn't be the muslim

brotherhood. >> look at who might lead during this transitional government and according to "the new york times", the obama administration is behind the scenes saying get out now, mubarak and have your number two guy take over. when given the choice between elbaradei and the military, you have to pick the military. >> absolutely. look, this whole situation i'm cautiously pessimistic. i think so far, it's gone fine. i think mubarak has to go. he's a destablizing element now. it's his thugs that are creating the violence. if there's more violence, then you worry because it will radicalize the situation on the streets and potentially discredit or split the military and it's the military we need to be the bull work of the transition. >> there's one other thing, if you want this man to go, the worst way to try and accomplish that is to do it publicly, i mean, these people have been around for a long time, they have their own sense of dignity, like it or not, if you want to get them to be quiet, speak off the record, talk to him privately, find a way to reach an agreement, to do it publicly, that's the last thing he'll do in that case. never yield to that kind of

public pressure. >> interesting to see what does happen today. excellent panel, rich. >> that means a lot to us. >> i know. >> meanwhile, newt gingrich is going to weigh in on everything we've been talking about in about 20 minutes so stand by for that. meanwhile, gretch, what's coming up? >> coming up, one of the worst that we have ever seen, the man on the right living the life of the other guy on the left. and actually landing him in prison for nearly 20 years. then before you place any bets on this weekend's puppy bowl, make sure you see the practice round. you can adopt one of these adorable puppies. it's not every morning that i have somebody licking my thigh. and my ankles. it's a puppy! ok? and to the other big game, super bowl xlv, brian is warming up in a nice cold dallas. more from the pregame show. i'm trying to wake everyone up, ok? you're awake now, aren't you? more with brian when we come back. ♪ proud to stand on our own

>> i can barely make out who you are with the camouflage on. you blend into the field turf. >> blends in. >> back to you. next time you come in, i'll show you this entire area. basically canton, ohio has come to dallas, texas. >> that's on so cool. brian kilmeade at the nfl experience down there. headlines on this friday. accused fort hood gunman nidal hasan was a "ticking time bomb" who was ignored. that according to a scathing report by the senate that they have just released. it says the f.b.i. and defense department missed warning signs that hasan had become a militant islamist. hasan, of course, is accused of murdering 13 people including a pregnant woman and an army general expected to decide next month whether hasan is mentally fit to stand trial. >> a family tragedy for jailed enron c.e.o. jeff skilling. his youngest son has been found dead of a suspected accidental overdose. skilling was reportedly given the news in prison where he's

serving a 24-year sentence for fraud. his 20-year-old son was reportedly upset about a recent breakup. police went to his apartment after friends called saying they were worried because he didn't meet up with them for dinner. >> too bad. meanwhile, more testimony against an iraqi immigrant accused of running over his daughter. allegedly because he believed she was too westernized. yesterday, the jury heard from a woman who accuses him of hitting her with a car in an arizona parking lot. along with his daughter through an interpreter, he said she screamed "no" and held up her hands as he plowed through them. >> i stand in front of him but he did not stop. he's not going to hit me. just i was protecting so he can get away from the car. >> suffered a broken hip and the daughter died two weeks after the incident.

>> a homeless ex-con is behind bars right now accused of stealing the identity of another man for 17 years. joseph kidd has been allegedly living as florida man larry smith. because of kidd, the real larry smith has been jailed over liens against his taxes, has been denied medical care and his driver's license was even suspended. well, kidd was finally caught this week and california police realized he applied for welfare benefits under a false name. >> all right. let's go ahead and take a look at what's going on down in dallas, texas, and there you've got -- we can see by the streetlight, under the streetlight, you've got a pickup truck and then behind it, you have a car stopped. it's a slow go this morning throughout the dallas/fort worth metroplex because they've had a wintery mix indeed and they're simply not used to it and instead of salt, a lot of them just have the sand which adds some grit but it doesn't actually melt things. >> all right.

>> meanwhile, let's real quickly take a look. and as you can see, the storm has moved for the most part out of the dallas area. they might have a few flurries right now. for the most part, the worst stuff is in northern portions of louisiana up through mississippi. and then the heaviest stuff at this hour is moving from georgia on into south carolina. the balance of the country right now is nice and dry for the most part. but as you can see right here, it is bitterly cold around chicagoland. it is 4 below zero right now. also, in cleveland, they've got 4. that's a quick look at the fox travelcast. >> well, it's every sports fan's favorite time of the year and we're not talking super bowl. we're talking about the seventh annual puppy bowl. >> and here we go! right out of the gate --

>> these puppies are getting ready to tear it up on the field on sunday afternoon and we have a sneak peek right here on "fox & friends." >> joining us right now for the final puppy bowl practice is referee andrew schnecker and his puppy friends from collie rescue. >> thanks for having me. >> i don't mind the licks but that was a claw. >> i'll call a penalty next time. >> thanks for doing that. >> you've been doing this for the last four years? >> yeah, i have the best job in the world. i get to hang out with adoptable puppies all day long in a miniature football stadium. >> when some people are going to be watching the super bowl on animal planet they'll have the puppy bowl. >> exactly, cutest two hours on television. >> look at, these two behind you were just kissing. >> we found a little kissing bandit. >> is that a foul? >> i think we encourage that. we encourage that. that's something i won't call a penalty on right now. >> we have promoted this as the final practice before the puppy bowl. you better put them dogs through the paces. >> i know, let's see.

i'm keeping a close eye. i don't want any unnecessary rough, rough, roughness. no illegal use of the paws. it's looking good and, of course, there's sometimes an illegal retriever down field. >> i hate that. >> not right now. >> very cute! all right, so if they were to practice, what would they be doing? >> i think sprints is a good thing to always do but it's pretty much just trying -- >> andrew, you can't get them to do anything. >> i know. i'm sorry. >> pork chops would be nice! >> this is like herding cats. >> the good news is rules aren't that strict for puppy bowl. they're trying to get any toy over the goal line. that's how they score. every puppy is a winner in puppy bowl because they're adoptable and we're putting the shelter message out there. it's a lot of fun and for a good cause. >> four inch heels in the puppy bowl. he was going to start, ok, i hope you're a he. you were going to take this over the goal line. go for it, buddy. go, go! go, about yud! >> puppy touchdown! >> come on. >> there it is. that was not a touchdown.

where's the goal line. >> close enough, we give the puppies a little leeway. >> that thing is -- >> yeah. starting to do it. >> every puppy is a winner. >> you actually keep score? i plan to watch it this year. do you keep score? >> we don't keep score. there's a most valuable puppy named. the puppy that steals the camera's attention a little bit. is in all the plays and kind of is a highlight puppy. >> ok. now, you did mention that these dogs are rescue dogs. they are all adoptable. if people would like more information because they are adorable, how do we get them? >> check out petfinder.com. a great resource to find a local pet near you, not just puppies. big dogs, small dogs, any animal you're looking for, perfect pet for you. >> fantastic. >> we also want to thank petsmart and american foilage here in new york for helping us out with this practice field right here. >> hard to get them excited about anything, andrew. let me see. run to freedom. no, no, no, no! >> that got them going.

>> they saw the opening. >> they saw it. >> take advantage of it. >> check it out on animal planet 3:00 to 5:00 this sunday. good job. >> thanks, nice meeting you. >> your hand is covered with drool. >> meanwhile, they're tracking your trash using satellites from space. the latest plan to save money being called garbage by some, gretch. >> then, is our government on the verge of a complete shutdown? democrats are waving the red flag blaming the g.o.p., former republican speaker of the house newt gingrich on defense. did you get all those football analogies? he's coming up next. >> but first, try to score with this. the trivia question of the day.

>> fox news alert for you right now. these are live pictures coming out of cairo, egypt, where protesters are demanding that president hosni mubarak step down today. today is the day of departure in their mind. they are getting bigger and louder. waving egyptian flags, singing the national anthem and cheering. appearing determined after their camp withstood 2 days of street battles with regime supporters trying to get rid of them. joining me now is former speaker of the house newt gingrich, a fox news contributor and author of the new book "rendezvous with destiny." good morning to you, mr. speaker. >> good morning. >> when you see those images there, what comes to mind to you on this very important day? >> well, i've been reminded of the same scenes in tehran in

1979. and the confusion that led to the collapse of the shaw of iran and his replacement by a religious dictatorship which is still in power 32 years later. and i'm very concerned that we're going to slide into confusion and end up with a muslim brotherhood dominated government that may be over two or three years to go from being a weak coalition government to end being totally defined by the muslim government as hezbollah has taken over lebanon much that's a dangerous outcome for the united states. >> when you look at history and precedence, it doesn't bode well when you think of hamas, hezbollah, ahmadinejad in iran and it begs the question about the war on terror because if egypt falls to these types of groups, what does that say about the war on terror? >> well, i think the very fact that we're worried about it and the obama administration is confused about the nature of the brotherhood tells you -- the muslim brotherhood has as its symbol two crossed swords and

the phrase under it the koran is our constitution. jihad is our way. death is our method. you should be able to look at that as a symbol and say maybe there's a hint here they're determined to impose a different kind of dictatorship if they get the opportunity to do so. they represent a movement across the entire world of people who are willing to use force to impose the way of life and i think we have to confront the reality and we recently had a pakistani governor who was killed by his own security guard because the governor was a moderate. when you see the number of christians in iraq has dropped from 1,200,000 in 20003 to under 500,000 today. you see sign after sign we're not winning this war. we can win the war as ronald reagan did, in fact, defeat the soviet empire but we, i think, have to have some approach that enables us to at least have an open, honest national debate about what's at stake, who is our opponent here? what do we need to do to defeat

them? >> this proves that being president of the united states, you never know what's going to happen the next day because the president spoke nothing about foreign policy in the state of the union and look where we are. let's bring it home domestically right now, the democrats yesterday in congress held a press conference talking about the apparent government shutdown that could happen. listen to this. >> one thing we can't do is take extreme steps like shutting down the government and forcing the united states government to default on its obligations. >> a default on our nation's obligations would be the single most irresponsible political action in the history of congress. >> too many republicans seem to want to force a government shutdown. that would be the same mistake they made in 1995. newt gingrich himself, presidential candidate supposedly was going around urging if republicans take back the house, they should fail to pass appropriations bills. >> first of all, i guess chuck

schumer made the announcement for you. you're running for president. but besides that, what do you think about that? and -- >> he was -- he was factually wrong on both counts right now and i'm not running for anything. we're going to make that decision at the end of the month. but i never said they shouldn't pass appropriations bills. that's factually false. what i have said and what i'm happy to defend is that the house republicans should be very tough on spending and pass a continuing resolution that cuts spending substantially and the house republicans should pass a debt ceiling that has very significant budget reforms and very significant cuts in spending. and then i would say that the democrats ought to listen to their own rhetoric. if the house passes those, are the senate democrats going to go along to keep things going? will the president sign it? or in fact is it the senate democrats and the president who are then stopping it. >> newt gingrich, former speaker of the house, great to get your perspective. thank you so much. have a great weekend. live from dallas, one of the best coaches in nfl history, tony dungy. today in history, back in 1999,

he made history becoming the first african-american to win the super bowl and joins us right now to break down sunday's game and talk about his brand new book and let's begin, coach tony dungy. welcome back to our show. >> thank you, brian. always fun being with you. >> i appreciate that. i know you're excited about your book "you can be a friend." first thing's first. let's talk about mike mccarthy and talk about the matchup that he has against mike tomlin. >> i think it's going to be a great matchup. you have two teams that really got hot in the playoffs. two teams that have outstanding mobile quarterbacks but they're kind of known for their defense. i feel like this is going to be an offensive super bowl. >> you won a super bowl with the colts and could have won a few with the bucs. in tomlin you have a guy still in his 30's who has been there before. how much of an advantage even though mccarthy is from pittsburgh? >> i think it's a big advantage for the steelers. they have a lot of players who have been through this a couple of years ago in tampa. it's a different thing. you talk to your team about the super bowl and being different but it's a unique deal.

and i know the packers are handling it well but i think the steelers have a little edge. >> a little bit of controversy if you ask me, arriving in town a little bit early, ben roethlisberger monday night, $1,000 bar tab, $200 tip. singing karaoke, having a few drinks. this is a guy that got suspended because of his behavior. not for drinking, not saying he has an alcohol problem. do you have a problem with what we're seeing now on tmz or just a guy having fun? >> i know when i took our team, we went on monday and that's your night. tuesday morning, we start. edwin james took our guys to south beach. they handled themselves well. but they're young men. so it's probably not a good idea for ben but i wouldn't have a problem with it. >> tony, tell me about your book. "you can be a friend" you have a book signing today in dallas at costco. why did you write it? >> my wife lauren and i co-wrote it. we're excited about doing some things, trying to promote literacy but putting books out there that are not only fun but have a little message.

this is a message about family and friendships and we're pleased at the response. >> wow. so far, so "you can be a friend" bought it home, my daughter read it, she's in third grade, we read it together. you love influencing kids more than anything? >> i think that's important. my last year in indianapolis, we had very, very poor graduation rates. that stems back to reading he remember. as a kid, i couldn't wait to ste on that i

>> gretchen: good morning, everyone. friday, february 4. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing your time. a fox news alert, being called the day of departure for hosni mubarak. nearly 1 million protesters hit the streets and word that another news room has been invaded. a live report from the ground in egypt. >> steve: can you get me a drink, general? a total mistake. mistaking a general for a waiter. the tip was all at the end.

>> brian: if charlie sheen doesn't remember what sent him to the hospital, maybe this video will remind him. he said he was laughing so hard, he hurt himself. i think differently. you make the call. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: i love the smell of astro turf in the morning. it's turf. field turf behind him. he's at the super bowl experience in dallas-fort worth. brian, a little while ago you said that because of the icy conditions, they were spreading salt. i got something from somebody, texas department of transportation spreading magnesium chloride. an anti-icing solution. >> gretchen: 'cause they don't really have ice down there.

>> brian: i hope they kept their receipt. it's not working. it's so bad and it's almost impossible to grip. it's almost like a cartoon, if it wasn't so real. underneath the six inches of snow they just got and not prepared for, and i think underforecasts, is a layer of ice. we actually had our production manager fall and shatter her elbow and i find out that everybody is falling everywhere. it's winter, but they weren't expecting it like this here. the good news is, unlike new york in a few years, they can close the roof on the game. the game will be sanitized. >> gretchen: the airport could be closed today because that was just live pictures of the dallas-fort worth airport, looked like they were trying to keep a runway open. >> steve: who do you have going to your location there in dallas-fort worth today? >> brian: steve, still coming up in the final hour, along with you guys, and the latest what's

happening in the middle east, frank caliendo just walked in. working with fox sports, the finest team ever. he'll be here. drew brees, the reigning super bowl mvp from the new orleans saints, they were upset in the first round. but he's ready to go. and mark sanchez, the man for the second straight year fell one win shy of playing in the super bowl. he'll be one of the coaches of the direct tv football game. i'll make an effort to show you the canton, ohio, fax which is of the hall of fame, locker room, all 44 super bowl rings, as well as the largest nfl store in the world. all that coming up straight ahead in the time hour. >> steve: it's a date. >> gretchen: thank you. let's do some more news. we have a fox news alert as we follow breaking developments in egypt. al-jazeera television says their offices have been raided with their equipment destroyed. a correspondent reports he was

chased and cornered by pro-mubarak forces armed with swords. this is the largest crowd yet is pouring into tahrir square for the day of departure. thousands of protesters demanding hosni mubarak step down today. the military on the scene, keeping pro-mubarak crowds out, at least for today. the obama administration says it's in talks with top egyptian officials about the possibility of hosni mubarak's resignation. the number of journalists in cairo dropped as they become targets for violence by pro-mubarak groups. so far at least 21 journalists have been attacked, including two from fox news and one from fox business. >> steve: let's go to leeland vitter live from cairo. i'm look at the bbc and they have twittered the sense of imminent attack has eased. the people are relaxing. would you say that's accurate? >> i think it would be very accurate, steve, that the protesters are relaxing. the pro-mubarak forces that seem

to be out beating people up seem not to be out today. however, the media is far from relaxed. we're holed up in a basement here because there have been so many media members attacked and also because we're hearing reports from our fellow journalists that a bunch of equipment has been seized and they're trying to take people off the air. in tahrir square, a largely peaceful protest. this is the day of departure, the day the protesters said president mubarak must step down. it appears the army or some other force held these pro-mubarak supporters that launched violent attacks over the past two days off the streets. there is a thought that the mubarak regime was paying those protesters to come out. so who knows why they're not out, but they're not out. in alex andrea, huge crowds demanding president mubarak step down. almost like a street party as we monitor state tv. though we can't be sure what the the feeling is like on the ground because in many cases

it's not safe for us to be out there. what happens next? it appears as though the military is holding everybody back. the big question is, who comes in next? will it be suleman? will the opposition kick everybody out? we'll be monitoring it throughout the day. steve? >> steve: all right. leeland live at a location in cairo. and folks, if you notice our images from tahrir square, they're a little different. we had a point of view much higher from our vantage point several floors up on a big -- in a big building, but because most western journalists have been driven out, now these are the pictures we're getting via the pool. >> gretchen: they've been driving them out and beating them up while they're at it. this is a way of clamping down. doesn't seem too democratic, does it? that's why today is the unofficial deadline for hue bark to get out of there. he gave an interview yesterday

where he said actually if i leave right now, there will be more chaos on the streets. many people are saying, well, there already is chaos, so what's the difference? >> steve: brian? >> brian: there is a few things going on. you might believe we didn't see it on camera, but hosni mubarak, 82 years old, might be thinking, yeah, i'd like to retire and turn it over to my son. it's not going to work out. who could argue with the fact that there would be chaos if he did leave? there is a huge power vacuum. the vice president was on television yesterday and kind of blaming the other press for fomenting the turmoil in which the country is going through did not help things. you got to hand it to the forces that seem to be pro-mubarak who are beating up every news source, whether it be middle eastern or european. the other story is we should kind of hold off, perhaps, in saying mubarak, you have to go until we know for sure what will be in there. because do you want the muslim

brotherhood in there? do you want the vice president who might not be accepted by the masses in there? there is some very esteemed middle east experts who say you don't want a situation where there is nobody at the top and no government apparatus to feed the feed who are depending on the government to get food, water, and basic things to live most of this country is farming peasant community who count on mubarak and dare i say, do not want to see him go. >> steve: brian, behind the scenes, according to the "new york times," apparently the obama administration is working on a plan to put the number two guy, the vice president in charge and then they will have a transitional government and before the elections and maybe they will be in september, it sounds as if they were try to get all sorts of voices and a lot of those voices they admit will come from the muslim brotherhood 'cause right now, 30% of the country is loyal to them. >> gretchen: they're talking about getting all factions involved because for the last 30 years, they have not been involved in the government.

>> steve: they've been banned. >> gretchen: they've been banned officially. this is not something that happens overnight. that's the problem. if you don't make a change in the leadership now, you're going to have these protests every single day. so it's a tight rope to walk here. there really is no real answer. >> brian: i tell you, the question is, will there be protests every single day? this is momentum. this is adrenaline. these people need food, water, job, banks. you need electricity. so far, this has been something that's been lasting a week. the question is, with hamas, who is a muslim brotherhood affiliate located in the palestinian area right in the gaza strip and next to israel, do you want the muslim brotherhood with a say in that government, hamas in control of the west bank and hezbollah in control? what's the rush, the transition to a government that would include the muslim brotherhood? shouldn't we take a step back and maybe listen to mubarak who

says if he leaves, there will be chaos? >> gretchen: i don't know. 'cause you got to keep in mind that he's probably the one who was ordering those people to come out and create the violence to begin with. so i don't know if that's the guy you can trust. >> steve: let's hope that today, as we look at the live images, the day of departure, is a peaceful one. in the meantime, brian, stand by down there in dallas. gretchen has headlines. >> gretchen: terrifying moments for passengers on a bus when the bus was hijacked. it was headed for raleigh, north carolina, when a man became eye reit, pulled a gun and threatened the driver and the passengers. most of the passengers were let go when the bus stopped at an exit. while the driver headed for the next stop in henderson, a freed passenger called police so cops were ready in that town, armed with stun guns to take down the hijacker. no one was hurt. explosive allegations against bernie madoff's bank, jpmorgan chase. victims now suing the bank for $6.4 billion, claiming the bank was warned madoff may have been

running a scam and did nothing to stop him. jpmorgan chase calls the charges meritless and based on disportion. sarah palin will deliver the keynote address to commemorate ronald reagan's 100th birthday. she is expected to draw from his "time to choose" speech. >> this idea that government is beholden to the people that, it has no other source of people except the sovereign people is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the law in history of man's relation to man. >> gretchen: the reagan 100 opening banquet being held at reagan's former ranch in california. charlie sheen may not remember the hours leading up to his hospitalization recently, but now there is video from tmz to remind him. you can see sheen dancing in the white shirt and drinking the night away just before he was admitted to the hospital. the star accused of being high

on cocaine during that time. those are your headlines. >> steve: it looked like a fun party, although we know what was regular going on. looks can be deceiving. remember these guys, the union auto workers caught boozing on the job? well, they got fired, but their friends might have missed that message. details coming up. >> gretchen: then girl scouts on strike? why some are refusing to sell cookies this year. >> steve: then president bush in dallas with brian kilmeade. hello, president bush. >> it's kind of like that or something. >> steve: wait a minute. >> steve: he's coming up live with brian shortly. >> half of the protest signs are in english. they made those signs so americans can english. to make sure all americans can

read them, the other half of the signs are in spanish. after an alpaca? i have. it was awesome. ♪ call 1-800-steemer ring ring. progresso. oh yes hi. can you please put my grandma on the phone please? thanks. excuse me a sec. anotr person calling for her grandmother. she thinks it's her soup huh? i'm told she's in the garden picking herbs. she is so cute. okay i'll hold. she's holding. wha? (announcer) progresso. you gotta taste this soup.

>> gretchen: fox news alert. a look at the protests in cairo, egypt, where some say 2 million people now have gathered for what's being called departure day, the unofficial deadline for hosni mubarak to step down. if the numbers are correct, this would be the biggest gathering by far so far. now word that president obama was warned this could happen last year. so some are asking why was nothing done? i'm joined by former c.i.a. agent mike baker. mike, what was the warning? >> well, the agency, not just the c.i.a., but other members of the intel community, they gain these problems out constantly. so you always have analysts looking at what happens if a particular country goes into chaos? what happens if a particular ruler is kicked out or for some reason, goes off the scene? once tunisia started to unravel,

the analysts started providing more information about what that could mean, not just for tunisia, but egypt. they were highlighted. but the issue is, i think, what the current concern is and the intel chair is starting to do what they always do up on the hill. if you have a crisis, then almost as soon as that crisis is over, sometimes before, you'll have politicians saying, that must have been an intelligence failure. >> gretchen: so what this warning was, it was relatively vague. i mean, it was saying we should be watching egypt, but i believe that the c.i.a. official yesterday testified that nobody knew when exactly the trigger would happen or what the trigger would be. >> right. you've got a rapidly unfolding spontaneous situation that doesn't fit itself nicely into what people would like to believe intelligence is. people would like to believe, including the congress, they'd

that like to think it's all black and white. and you're always going to have perfect information. unfortunately, it's an imperfect world and you never have everything you want to make a decision. >> gretchen: are you saying it would be impossible to have intelligence for something like this? >> it's not plausible to say you're going to have, on a situation where you've got spontaneous protests erupting and you've got facebook activity and twittering going on, it's not the traditional, it's not something that you've got a military coup and they've been plotting and deciding for two months to overthrow a government. and you can say in that case, well, wait a minute. what was the intelligent sources and the people who should have been recruiting sources who could have tipped them off? this does not fit that. we talk about the technologies impacting the world. this is the way new technologies can impact the collection of intelligence. i think it's disingenuous of the

chair and others, but they do this all the time, to start talking about intelligence failures in an environment like this. they were highlighting egypt. >> gretchen: they said they isn't know what the trigger would be. mike baker, always good to get your thoughts. >> thank you. >> gretchen: they're tracking your trash using satellites from space. being called garbage by some. from president bush to john madden? >> you think about this stuff. there you go. >> gretchen: break out a turkey leg. comedian and impersonator frank caliendo. i love that guy. ooo whatcha got there?

>> steve: here are some friday headlines. we've learned that mark kelly will head to space for endeavor's final flight. he is congresswoman gabrielle giffords' husband. the official announcement comes at a press conference later today. garbage trucks hooked up with gps to track drivers are coming to glenndale, arizona. that city claims it will help find better routes and save gas money, too. but some say it's so the bosses can tell how long the drivers are taking their breaks. now let's take a break and go down to arlington, texas. hello, mr. kilmeade. >> brian: steve, thank you very much. super bowl xlv, packers are going to be playing against the steelers. now it's time for the official humor portion of the show. let's get expert picks, from the true expert, frank caliendo.

welcome. >> how are you? >> brian: welcome. the weather is wonderful, isn't it? >> it's not very good at all. in the world of charles barkley, that is terrible out there. it's really, really bad. you try to drive in the snow, you can't get anywhere knuckle head. took me 45 minutes to get from right there to right here and i wasn't even driving. >> brian: right. that's an aggravating thing. last night you're hanging out with the guys. >> yeah, it was great. terry. bradshaw, he's one of those guys, like hey, frank! how are you doing! frank is getting over the rash! >> brian: what are you talking about? 'cause he likes to embarrass people. >> then howie is trying to pick people up on the side of the road. do you need a ride? i was terrible. let's talk about football, brian. that's why we're here and fake grass. i mean, you think of all the things that all the places you want to play, dallas is the

place. when did ben roethlisberger, when did he decide he should look like the wrapper of a paper towel roll? i mean the guy looks like he has a big objection next to him! i don't know what that is. i wouldn't -- what were we talking about? that's terrible right there. >> brian: the president of the united states is going to be at the game. we still hope to maybe catch up with him. his book is still number two in the country. >> it used to be one. it could get back to one after this. i've never met president bush. i did that congressional correspondent dinner. >> brian: you were fantastic. >> you're right. but i've always wanted to meet him just to say, how are you doing? hear him say, how you doing? it's great to meet ya, mr. caddyadondo. whatever. >> brian: the thing is, you're someone unlike most people in

hollywood, who go to the top of the business, you are the top of the heap that likes the president. >> i was always a fan of president bush. i just thought he was doing the best he could. at any time, i think it's tough to be the president now adays. there is always something going on. but i always took a light hearted view of going at president bush. it wasn't about trying to go after policy or any political kind of stuff. it was just this kind of having fun. >> brian: 'cause he's truly one of the guys. this city in particular, you had the world series here and then didn't come out that well. now you have the super bowl here. they say everything is bigger in texas. >> including the snow storms! it's north texas, it's coming out of the north down to texas! it's like we're in the north pole! boom! >> brian: right. frank, finally, i know you were on jay leno the other night. >> yeah, had a lot of fun there,

brian. it was good, good. head was bobbling in full fashion. jay leno is the only guy who could have a bobble head made that could bobble less than his own head. >> brian: i don't know, what is your drew brees impression like? >> like this, coming right up. >> gretchen: i have a question for the president, brian. >> yeah, go ahead. >> gretchen: i'd love to know who you're picking for the super bowl. >> well, i'm going with the steelers, or possibly the packers. [ laughter ] that's pretty good. that gets everybody right there. i think one of those two teams is probably going to win. [ laughter ] 100% chance, one team or the other wins. if one of them doesn't...

[ laughter ] >> brian: when you break it down, it seems so simple. >> simple, if you don't have a joke, you just switch voices. hey, what's going on? >> brian: did you catch a pass from drew brees? who do you like better, mark sanchez or drew brees? >> mark sanchez 'cause he's here. guys, walk over. incredible. >> brian: mark sanchez is here. good to see you. welcome back. drew brees, mark sanchez coming up shortly. frank will apologize on the breaks. >> my favorite two quarterbacks. >> brian: toss it back, frank.

>> gretchen: literally. >> i've never been on tv before. >> gretchen: thanks, guys. >> steve: fantastic final half hour we'll have with the two qb's coming up. >> gretchen: moments from now, brand-new unemployment numbers for the month of january, what it means for the economy and president obama. when chris wallace joins us next. >> steve: do you need proof that video games can be too addictive? the ten-year-old who nearly lost his life because his eyes were glued to the screen when he should have been watching where he was going. hey, did you ever finish last month's invoices?

sadly, no. oh. but i did pick up your dry cleaning and had your shoes shined. well, i made you a reservation at the sushi plce around the corner. well, in that case, i better get bk to these invoices... whh i'll do right after making your favorite pancakes. you know what? i'm going to tidy up your side of the office. i can't hear you because i'm also making you a smoothie. [ male announcer ] marriott hotels & resorts knows it's better for xerox to automate their global invoice process so they can focus on serving their customers. with xerox, you're ready for real business.

>> steve: we have got a fox business alert for you right now. the labor department releasing the latest jobs report for january. look at this. look at that. the unemployment rate is now 9%. that is the lowest since april 2009. down from the previous 9.4% last month. economists had predicted it would grow to 9.5. but look at it. a flat 9. they're also reporting that 36,000 jobs were added. >> gretchen: brian, joins us from dallas and chris wallace

joins us live from dallas as well. but i understand that they put you in separate locations because we know how the two of you get along. >> the restraining order is still in effect, gretchen, and i'm personally very gratified by that, that the judge would recognize the extent of this restraining order even here in texas. >> gretchen: go ahead. >> can i say something about the number as soon as yeah. obviously 9% is a whole lot better than 9.4%, which is what it was. but it sounds to be just on first glance that an awful lot of this is people have stopped looking because creation of 36,000 jobs is very disappointing. they were forecasting over 100,000. you're going to need, in terms of getting those 14 1/2 million people back to work, you need about 200,000 jobs a month created. 36,000 is not even close to that. and continues to show how weak this recovery is. >> steve: chris, i read a report this past week that said that a majority of the jobs that are being created are low wage or

minimum wage. the high paying jobs simply aren't out there right now. >> right. and obviously the president is trying to get that with his talk about green energy. but this economy still is in pretty bad shape. >> steve: brian? >> brian: chris, how can you possibly compare what we're seeing now in the middle east, specifically egypt, to anything else? there is no easy answer out of this by a long shot. >> no. and there are a lot of bad answers that are possible. obviously we don't want to see mubarak continue, you know. the people of egypt, like the people all across the world, want freedom, want liberty. it's a universal value. but on the other hand, we certainly don't want to see an islamic fundamentalist regime which would completely alter the power equation, the balance of power in the middle east, would threaten israel, our great ally. we're desperately hoping that

they will end up with a free democratic government, stable, pro-western government there. but boy, there are a lot of potholes from here to there to get to that goal. >> gretchen: one of the things we saw was the administration's support of the protesters and speaking up for their freedoms. yet sean hannity saw that as hypocritical when it came to the tea party and the administration's response to that. watch this. >> if you believe demonstrations are good and healthy, then why did they attack the tea party people as ignorant, racist, bigoted and hateful? the people in egypt are great. the american tea partiers are evil. >> gretchen: your reaction, chris? >> well, gee, isn't that nice of you to put me on the spot? i'm not sure that i would quite compare the tea party -- first of all, i don't know who it is in the white house that called them ignorant and racist. there have been some democrats that have. and look, there are two different things going on.

one is the debate about -- a rough and tumble debate inside a free democracy, comparing that to the people of egypt who just want basic rights and democracy and freedom and self representation seems to be a little apples and oranges. let me just say, all of the thousands of e-mail that the people are going to send, please send it to brian.kilmeade. >> gretchen: on a good note, i want to say i tried one of your wife's soup recipes over the weekend and it was delicious. now you won't be mad at me. >> steve: we're making the buffalo chile for super bowl and, in fact, you've got a super bowl show coming up. >> we do indeed. we're really excited about it. we're going to have the pre, pregame show on fox news sunday. first of all, exclusive interview with roger goodell. what's going on off the field in the nfl is as important as what's going on on the field, even on super sunday because there is a real possibility of a lockout and no season in 2011,

which would cause a national nervous breakdown. we're also going to have two great legends, lynn swann of the steelers, jerry kramer of the packers, and our panel, brit hume and juan williams, we're going to have terry bradshaw, howie long and michael strayhan as our panel. >> brian: chris, i'm a journalist at heart and the big story here at the nfl experience is that you're not. kids come on over. these kids are children, impressionable. they had one goal. drew brees is okay, mark sanchez is nice. but kids, look into that camera. tell us about your disappointment, who is the one person you wanted to meet, miley cyrus? >> chris wallace. >> brian: who else? >> chris wallace. >> brian: anybody else? mark sanchez is there. are you happy, these children didn't get a chance to meet you.

sorry. what can i tell you. >> tell them chris will be sending them $5 each. >> steve: five bucks from chris wallace to all the kids. >> brian: kids, i'm only kidding. they really like chris wallace, but these are the finest kids in a great program. what's your name? >> ethan. >> brian: how did you win this thing and have an opportunity to come down to super bowl week? >> we did yard work for our school to raise money and we put the money and made safe structure for our playground. >> brian: what did you do? >> i did the same thing. >> brian: copy cat. what did you do? >> me and my girl scout troop here, we gave snacks and candy to the army people when they were coming through, to and from to their work. >> brian: you had fun today. congratulations, young boys and girls for everything you do with

this program. president bush and his wife are the honorary chair people there. thanks so much, kids. you want to play football? >> yes. >> brian: shirts and skins, go ahead. let's see what else is happening. >> gretchen: we need to technically say good-bye to chris for being a good sport. >> bye, thank you. >> steve: brian is at the nfl experience. >> gretchen: now your headlines. a fox news alert. moments ago, julian assange released a recorded message calling on australia's prime minister to bring him home before his extradition hearing in london on monday. he's trying to avoid being sent to sweden to face sex crime charges. prime minister has not responded yet. but has called assange's document leaks illegal in the past. probably not going to happen. >> steve: good luck. accused fort hood gunman nidal malik hasan was a ticking time bomb who was ignored, according to a report released by the senate. it says they missed warning

signs that hasan had become radicalized. he's accused of murdering 13 people, including a pregnant woman, an army general expected to decide next month whether or not he is mentally fit to stand trial. >> gretchen: remember when those chrysler factory workers got busted on camera drinking beer and smoking dope on their union lunch break? >> buzz kill, but shouldn't you guys be building cars? don't you guys work out at the chrysler factory? you know, the government spent a lot of money bailing you guys out. >> gretchen: three other workers at the same plant apparently didn't see this video and didn't get the memo. they have now been arrested. police busted them going back to work after visiting a drug den. one guy reportedly got caught stuck in his locker with cocaine, pills and pot. they've all been suspended, but not fired without pay. >> steve: that's embarrassing. straight ahead, some of the nation's girl scouts going on strike. why they're now refusing to sell their famous cookies.

first, a preview of what's happening tomorrow on "fox & friends." good morning to you. >> hey, guys. >> don't take away my carmel delights. >> listen, here is what's coming up tomorrow, could a special diet help cure autism? we'll meet a mother who says certain foods helped reverse the effects of autism on her child. >> then from toddlehood to the teen years, your child's temper tantrums and wild attitude can be tamed. we'll hear from a psychologist who says you can have a new kid in five days. >> good, that will be helpful. then call it scent offense. a 13-year-old is facing a court date over her perfume. she's trying to clear the air. we'll hear from her. that's all this weekend on "fox & friends" starting at 6:00 a.m. eastern. we'll see you tomorrow.

it's like to play in the biggest game of the year and only one knows what it's like to do it two in a row. now two of the best, the superbowl xliv mvp, drew brees, as he beat payton manning and company, and mark sanchez. welcome. thanks for coming down and braving the snow and being here. first things first, the last time they played, it was a one point game in 2009 in which the steelers came back and won. last time the packers played the steelers. does that matter, mark? >> i think -- >> brian: do you watch that film? >> absolutely. they got to watch it to see had you they played against them, what it was like, some of the things they got. this is a whole new game, new environment. they need to prepare for what the steelers have done these last few games in the playoffs and expect to see some of that. >> brian: drew, in particular,

ben roethlisberger had a big game the last time they played. threw for 500 yards. does that matter? >> they both threw for a ton of yards. i think they'll look at the game to see how the game played at the time. but these are two different teams, despite the fact there are a lot of the same players. the way they're playing defensively, i'm sure they're looking at that saying that's not going to happen again. >> brian: mark, 9-0, you lose to the packers. people talking about the packers. >> thanks for bringing that up. >> brian: one of the few low points of your season because a lot of people didn't know how good the packers were. >> our defense played them tough. offense not as good as we wanted them to. we had them on the ropes at times. we just couldn't convert on offense. that's going to be tough for the steelers to do. i know they have the defense capable of slowing down a packer offense. but i think if aaron rogers plays the way he's playing, as hot as he is, it will be tough to slow him down. >> brian: you beat the steelers and rallied to do so. how did you do it?

his jets almost came all the way back and beat pittsburgh, in the second half. does that tell you something? >> our defense played great against them when they played them. we beat them 20-10 on sunday night around halloween. it was one of those games that started off kind of slow. it was really a defensive battle back and forth. i think patience is the key against that defense because if you get impatient, if you feel like you got to force a play, then that's when you make mistakes. they thrive on getting the turnovers. >> brian: one of the things, i see a lot of big names, they do products to sponsor. you've been in the league two. what is the program, what's the message? >> we're going into this off season not knowing what will happen. if you follow the jets, we've had overtime wins, we're going to keep it going and we're challenging the fans to be part of it. you go on-line and vote for

offseason activity i'll be in. diving with sharks, nascar pit crew, training with firefighters. you go on-line you vote. every vote has offered to give money to the national volunteer firefighter. what would you do? >> brian: don't give it away. you were asking drew about his. you were almost jealous of drew's. you're with pepsi. you taped it last weekend with? >> with ray lewis. the last week at the pro bowl. we taped a video. it's like a 2 1/2 minute video based on like a thrill horror movie where the 16-ounce pepsi bottle is attacking everybody at the party with 0-caloriescalorid maximum taste. it's hilarious. ray lewis did a great job. >> brian: last moments, reining super bowl mvp and future mvp, it's been a thrill. now back over to bill hemmer who

actually feels as though he could have been a better quarterback than both these guys in his prime. >> take that challenge. i'll see think weekend this dallas, brian. breaking news on the jobs front, in cairo, john bolton on that to tell us what's important to watch today. a new proposal that would take arizona's immigration law national. remembering ronald reagan. see you in ten minutes.

this is a fox news ace let. now multiple reports that a million protesters are in tahrir square for egyptian president mubarak's deadline day. meanwhile, his newly appointed vice president, suleman, speaking out. >> i want the opposition to understand that in this limited time, we can do what president

mubarak has said. and we can not do more. and when new president will come, you will have more time to make any changes. >> steve: there is concern that once mubarak does step down, if he does, the muslim brotherhood will be in control, which could have an enormous impact on egypt's peace treaty with israel. peter johnson, jr. joins us. >> it's an ominous prospect in some ways if the muslim brotherhood takes control, there is concern that the famous 30-year-old peace accord between egypt and israel may fall apart. we have to understand that even under mubarak's ruling dictatorship, according to one poll in 2006, 92% of the people in egypt consider the people of israel to be an enemy. anti-semitism is rampant. there are still weapons flowing into gaza that are smuggled in. so the concern for the united states and for israel is that under a new leadership under a

new program, especially headed by the muslim brotherhood, that the peace treaty goes out the window in some form. and if that happens, the united states is compelled under our treaty with israel to step in and help them. >> steve: we're well watching these pictures from tahrir square, but so are the people of israel. >> it's a frightening prospect in many ways because it presents change there and the status quo has meant peace for the past 30 years. we do not know what the people in the street mean at this point. is it a turn toward democracy or is it a turn toward islam farrism in the end? we do not know. we hope the people of egypt have the best interest of their country and the world at heart. >> steve: if we could vote, we'd vote for democracy. peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> steve: more "fox & friends" in two minutes.
