peril. >> that's not the only advice he has for the republican presidential candidates. by the way, he's already endorsed one in particular. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> it's "fox & friends." >> well, i was stunned to wake up this morning and find out that those occupiers are being kicked out in new york city. some people have been saying, you know, a little too late for some of the businesses down there. >> eric, normally you'd be sleeping at zuccotti park. >> another day. i decided to pack up my tent and put some clothes on and come in today. that was a great point you made earlier. >> which was? >> i don't remember but don't i get 5 bucks for saying that? >> yes. that was the first person to say that good point. >> how about it's about time get these people out of there. clean up the park. we've had business owners in the area saying get them away.

my business is tanking. finally these guys leave and clean up. question is, are they coming back? >> let's go right now. police in riot gear letting thousands of occupiers in zuccotti park know it's time to go. it happened around 1:00 a.m. this morning, cops started handing out eviction notices. some are taking down the tarps and the tents. is this a live picture right there? no, this is video of cops taking down the tents making way for sanitation crews to clean up the unsanitary and dangerous mess. police reportedly arresting at least 70 people who refused to leave. occupiers are making their way to two other locations where they plan to hold rallies now. they will be allowed to return to zuccotti park after the cleanup is done but here's the kicker. without their tents. thursday marks two months since the protesters set up camp there. another developing story to tell you about this morning. right now, the university of north carolina wilmington on lockdown. police are using helicopters and a canine team to find an armed man who robbed four men near the

campus. we're told he had a red cloth covering his face and the school is alerting all students to stay inside their domes. we'll keep you updated as soon as more information is available. more explosive revelations in the jerry sandusky sex scandal. 10 more victims have come forward since he was arrested. this happened as the former coach speaks out for the first time. >> reasonable person says where there's this much smoke, there must be plenty of fire. what do you say? >> i say that i am innocent of those charges. >> in an amazing interview with bob costas, sandusky says he's not a pedophile but does admit to showering with some of the alleged victims saying it was just "horseplay." the 67-year-old is charged with abusing at least eight boys during a 15 year period. and the assistant coach now speaking out as well.

he claims he did stop sandusky from attacking a boy in the shower. telling friends, i did the right thing. i didn't just turn and run. i made sure it stopped. meantime, congress pushing back on a proposal supported by the white house to make school lunches healthier. the agriculture department wants to eliminate pizza and french fries from cafeteria menus. the house republicans say that it's a financial burden and overreach of government. they are proposing a new spending bill to reverse those rules. those are the headlines this morning. >> one of the big headlines this morning as you follow the g.o.p. soap opera is there's a new person playing the lead role or the surging role or the up and coming star, someone we've known for quite a while. newt gingrich in these polls has to really feel like there's a bounce in his step and wind in his back because now he is clearly in the upper tier and breathing down the neck of mitt romney in the cnn poll, 24-22. cain drops big time to 14. rick perry, a bit of a surge up to 12.

that's the first sign of a bounceback. >> that's a first. >> for him. absolutely. >> in some polls, he was down to 4%. >> newt gingrich has done very well in these debates. most recently, the foreign policy debate on saturday night. take a look at this other poll. he's also surging in this poll, newt 28%. >> he's ahead. >> ahead of cain and romney. >> come on, this is like a huge headline this morning. he was at 8%. he's now at 28% ahead of mitt romney. you would have to argue that newt gingrich has taken away all of the votes or the percentage of people who were for herman cain because if you look at all these polls, herman cain has dropped now after all the discussion about the sexual allegations against him and it looks like newt gingrich is the recipient of those people who have moved away from herman cain. >> herman cain had a rough time yesterday with the milwaukee newspaper when he sat down with

the editorial board. in iowa, herman cain has to feel decent about this. they did a poll, the bloomberg people it and they said what do you think, iowa, if it was today, cain would win by one percentage point. ron paul 19 points. mitt romney 18 and newt gingrich 17. can you say too close to call? >> yeah. >> can i make a point? mitt romney has avoided all the scrutiny and all the attacks. yet, he only gets, depending on the poll, 24%, i think the highest is maybe 26%. i got to tell you, there are conservatives out there, romney represents the established republicans. there are conservatives out there who are searching for a candidate. so it went from michelle bachmann to herman cain and now it looks like they're at least testing the waters with newt gingrich. i wouldn't necessarily call him the most conservative of the candidates but the point is 26% for your established republican that can't seem to get above that. >> now here come the attacks because apparently there was a flier put under the doors of a hotel in iowa for all the people

to find out, to re-introduce them to the problems that newt has had in his marriages and his divorces. and brian, you predicted this would happen. that once he would rise again in the polls, that the attacks would start coming. let's face it, folks, everyone has baggage. whether it's romney's mass care or newt gingrich's -- >> tell us something you don't know. >> everybody does. this is why great people don't run for politics because your life is overturned and everything you did since you were in diapers comes up and you're eviscerated for it. how does newt respond to being on top right now in the polls? listen to this. >> the last debate saturday night really affected a lot of people and they sort of clicked and said yep, i'm for him and i think there's a really deep sense that they want somebody who can debate obama but they also want somebody who if they get elected can actually change washington and i think the level of experience i've had in the past, balancing the budget,

passing entitlement reform, getting things done and the fact that people seem to think i'm a pretty good debater combines to give people the sense that maybe i'm the right person to get america back on the right track and to make sure that obama is a one term president. >> you know, and can i just make a point? that's been his message throughout. it's not taking shots at one of the other candidates. it's always been hey, we, whoever it is, has to come in and beat obama in 2012 and really, maybe it's starting to resonate. i will tell you, the machine. the left leaning political machine that's going to go after him once he starts making that -- >> you know how to beat that? you have to have -- pick one anchor, one host, sit down, do a tell all. go through the divorces. go through the mistakes you made. get it all out there on the record. and everything else will just be a rerun because this way, you'll have a chance to define it yourself. >> no surprises. >> no surprises. >> the other thing that people like about newt gingrich is he tells it like it is even though he's been a career politician. i mean, how many times do we

talk on this show about how politicians don't tell it like it is when they've served for so many years because they want to continually be re-elected. i think one of the reasons that herman cain surged is because he wasn't a politician but now you have somebody, a newt gingrich who does tell it like it is even though he was a career politician and i think some of the voters like what they see. he's going to be coming up on our show, stay tuned. 8:45 a.m. eastern time. >> and that's what newt looks like in a picture. meanwhile, governor chris christie is truly the rock star on the g.o.p. side and kind of popular with democrats as well. when he came out about a month ago and said mitt romney will be my man, he went out of his way yesterday to underline how tough a task it will be for any g.o.p. nominee. listen to the governor from new jersey. >> i think anybody who underestimates the president over the next year underestimates him at their own peril. these guys have shown that they don't know a hell of a lot about

governing but they know how to campaign. i think the republicans can win in november. but they're going to face a very formidable incumbent president who will have a ton of money and who will be willing to do whatever he needs to do to get himself out there in front of the people of this country and make his case. i think it's, you know, i think it's always tough to run against an incumbent president and the democrats learned that in 2004. a lot of democrats are saying this guy is a one termer. it's over. he's going to be like his father, he's going to be a one termer. they learned it's tough. republicans have a chance to win -- remember this, if unemployment is still around where it is right now, no president has ever gotten re-elected with unemployment at that number so the president has to do that, too. >> good point. >> very interesting. >> to turn completely to a different story now, congresswoman gabby giffords who was shot last january in tucson, arizona, gave her first interview now with her husband and talks about her progress and her frustration with not getting better quickly.

and whether or not she'll actually continue to try and be a member of congress. here is giffords talking about whether she ever gets angry about what happened to her on that january day. >> do you ever get angry at what happened to you? >> no, no. no. >> no? >> life, life. it's better. >> it's better? >> i -- oh. >> she wants to get better. >> better. >> you want to get better? >> better. >> that's more important than getting back on the job, obviously. you can tell she understands the question but she's really having a hard time expressing what she's trying to express, what she's trying to answer. >> it's tough. >> the words do not come to her and let's keep in mind that, you know, she had the bullet to the

head. this was also video shown last night that we have not seen before. part of her therapy is singing songs to try and get back some of those words. i mean, in the interview, diane sawyer was saying she can't form the word the or what or can you imagine trying to start all over again? >> talk about the sadness of finding out later how many people lost their lives that day and the carnage that ensued over that one shooter and for her not to have bitterness against him. i just wish he would have gotten help earlier. wow. that -- to remove that bitterness while you're still rehabbing is incredible. now, let's change gears at 11 minutes after the hour. straight ahead, a high school football coach handed out this to his players. it's a hurt feelings report asking kids like did you require a tissue for the tears? you have to hear the rest of this! >> then we've been raising this question about politico for sometime. is it a left leaning web site with questionable ties to msnbc?

>> we've been telling you about politico run by fred lyon, leans left but they keep denying it. this while reporters and editors make frequent appearances on msnbc. our next guest did a research. he joins me from d.c. what did you find out? politico started as on on-line newspaper that wanted to shoot down the middle but certainly has moved far left, has it not? >> yeah, i would think since obama has taken the white house, i think do it maybe push it that way especially in regards to getting access to the white house. you kind of have to have that kind of relationship. >> you pointed out that politico broke the story, jonathan martin broke the story about herman

cain's alleged sexual assaults back in, you know, 12, 13 years ago. since then, talk to me about the number of stories that politico has published on herman cain vs. some other high profile stories going on at the exact same time. >> well, i know in the first five days, 90, 94 stories according to byron york of "the washington examiner." 138 and counting on herman cain. you have to ask the question, how much is too much? you look at some of these other high profile stories right now like fast and furious and the solyndra scandal, i think it's just, you know, a very, very small percentage compared to that, you know, looking at stories that are probably on the same level. >> now, i got to be honest with you, i look at politico every morning and i watch some of the news programs from across the river as well. i always see -- i see any time there's a controversy whether it's michelle bachmann's headaches, whether it's rick perry's gaffes or he was tired

during the debates or herman cain's alleged sexual assaults, those things seem to pop up on politico and sure enough, you'll see it time after time, show after show on msnbc. any coincidence? >> yeah, you know, it's almost an institutional bias. their sensitivities, you know, their news judgment lends to those kinds of stories and i think that's very indicative of a liberal bias, maybe not outright but very institutional. >> now, it spreads beyond msnbc, if i'm not mistaken, jonathan martin, they call him mr. betsy fisher, do you know why? >> right, very incestuous relationship between msnbc and politico. that's evidence there. you could draw your own conclusions from that. >> would you have run with a story given what we know about politico's sources and what they've decided to talk about, who their sources are and the extent to which the story was sourced on herman cain. would you have run with that story? >> no, i thought it was very thinly sourced. now, ultimately, a lot of stuff

came out and they could have ran with it but you got to ask yourself about the timing of the story, it's set to give a big policy speech that next day and he was giving a speech to the national press club. why did they wait until that sunday night, the monday before herman cain is making a big splash in washington, d.c.? they could have waited. they could have held off and had some of these -- some of these accusers step forward and maybe had a little more to run with. >> all right. we'll leave it there. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> coming up, they put him out with the trash. the never before heard details about where the united states military dumped bin laden's body and already bailed out fannie and freddie. now another government housing agency may need taxpayer support. oh, boy. more money. coming up.

>> tonight, i can report to the

american people and to the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed usama bin laden, the leader of al-qaida. >> 23 minutes after the hour. we may never know exactly what happened when seal team 6 took out the world's most wanted terrorist but our next guest's novel may be the closest thing to the truth about the hunt for usama bin laden unless we can get a hold of those seals themselves. author of the new novel based on true events, john weissman, welcome. the respect that you have in the special forces community is beyond reproach. you get a call from harper collins and they say we got to do this book. you're the guy to do it. in 71 days, you turn this around. how did you get the information to put together this fiction account? >> well, i've been writing about seals and special operations and the c.i.a. for about 20 years. and, you know, you develop friends in low places. and they certainly helped and they certainly gave me guidance. nobody was talking about the specifics of the mission.

they can't. it's classified. but you can get guidance and that, i think, is what really helped. >> but is that why you wrote it as a novel? >> yes. i wrote it as a novel because everyone has their own spin. the white house has its own spin, the agency has its own spin, the seals have their own spin at this point. how do you step back and take a look and try to make a whole graphic picture of an event that isn't going to be declassified for 15 or 20 years? >> all right, so you point to a few people that really should get some credit. when it comes to the administration, leon panetta, he's the one that says we have to get guys on the ground there, this is it. we have to make this operation happen and the c.i.a. believes in him. >> yes, the c.i.a. believes in him because he stands up for them. there was loyalty down the chain of command as well as up the chain of command and panetta, i was told and i think reliably was involved on a daily basis with this hunt for bin laden, especially in the last 10 months of the hunt.

>> the actual operation itself, what did you discover that we were not told that night and subsequent days? >> well, i think one of the things that i ultimately was able to find out somewhat after the fact was how the burial was put together at sea. >> on the uss vincent. >> on the uss carl vincent. the ship was basically shut down for a number of hours. all electronics were shut down. there was no internet. there was no wi-fi. there was no cell phones and at about 12:25 local time on may 2nd in the north arabian sea, two marine ospreys landed on the deck and out of one of them came a group of operators and out of another one of them came more operators carrying a body bag and one civilian in a blue button down shirt and blue jeans. and that was taken by the people i talked to to be the imam.

>> usama bin laden. >> the imam who was going to bury him, who was going to bury usama bin laden. >> so he's in the body bag that's zipped up. they zip it down and give final rights. >> no. what they did is they took the body bag off the rear ramp of the osprey and moved it to the number four elevator. the number four elevator is on the port side, the left side in the rear. that had elevator with the seals, imam and body bag dropped out of sight. what went on below decks nobody knows except the people who were there. but there are a couple of things that the people i talked to kind of surmised out of it. one is that in the old days, you would dump your garbage off the stern of the ship. and the number four elevator is the stern most elevator on the ship so they were moving toward

the stern certainly. and secondly -- >> so he went out with the garbage? >> well, you might say so. i can't confirm it. but doesn't it make sense? >> yep. that's where he belongs and now he's in that watery grave. kill bin laden is the name of the novel. but in john weisman, you have a guy that got the facts. thanks so much for joining us and doing this. this would be a pretty good movie. >> brian, thanks. >> if you sell the rights, cut me in. absolutely. >> 27 minutes after the hour. straight ahead, we're following breaking news. a live look at the displaced protesters who police have stormed new york's zuccotti park at 1:00 in the morning telling occupiers to finally get out or go to jail. a live update with john huddy after the break. plus a high school football coach handed his players this hurt feelings report asking kids questions like, did you require a tissue for the tears? wait until you hear more about that. and happy birthday to sam

>> fox news alert for you now. here in new york city, you're looking at new video as sanitation workers get rid of the tents and the tarps and the junk in zuccotti park.

dumping them in garbage trucks. earlier this morning, police ordered occupiers out, arresting at least 70 people. protesters are now reportedly planning a march along new york city threatening to block traffic during the morning rush hour. they'll be able to return to the park after the cleanup is complete but the caveat is they can't come back with all that paraphernalia. >> if you want to walk in new york city streets in rush hour, be prepared to wear a lot of padding because they don't slow down for pedestrians who are trying to avoid traffic let alone slow down for people trying to block traffic. wear a helmet! >> so does this mean the occupy wall street movement is coming to an end? stuart varney is here. stuart, you say this might be the end of it. >> i don't know about the end of it but i sort of think it weakens it. if you remove the encampment from the place where the whole occupy movement started, i think you're weakening the entire movement. now, yesterday, the occupy wall street people in downtown manhattan, they said, look, we're going to disrupt the

subway system on thursday of this week. we're going to maybe try to disrupt the new york stock exchange. i think that was a bit too much. bloomberg comes down and says you're out of here. i think, though, that they will regroup. that they will not have an encampment that weakens them. all across the country, they are being removed. >> shame on any executive, elected official that allows this to happen because it clearly, mayor bloomberg has lost control of this whole operation. he tried to move them out three weeks ago. here, we'll talk about that. he couldn't do it and if he let any other group, any other city, allows them to get momentum, they're going to totally lose control again. i think we're too smart for that. >> look what happened in oakland, california, the mayor of that city gave its city workers a day off to join that demonstration. then had to retreat from that. now they've moved them out again. you know it costs oakland $2.4 million to police that. oakland is bankrupt. all across the country, they're

moving these encampments out. i think it severely weakens this movement but doesn't end it just yet. >> i believe that one of the reasons they could not move them from wall street, i believe it probably had to do with legal reasons. maybe the city felt like they were going to be sued. >> no, i think it was politics. >> you do? >> that's a privately administered park and the private administrators got enormous amount of political pressure from local political leaders who did not want them thrown out of that park. >> very important point. >> what's the change now? three weeks later, the political pressure has gone away? >> curious to hear the explanation. >> there was a counter demonstration. i think it was yesterday where local business owners and people who did not like the noise and the sanitation problems, they marched on city hall and said look, enough is enough. get them out of here. >> there's another little thing here. brookfield properties owns zuccotti park and brookfield, one of the other wings of

brookfield has some prize to the department of energy loans that have been going on in some other areas. put it all together, i'm not making claims. i'm simply saying, mayor bloomberg is very close with one of the directors of brookfield properties, i think it's his live-in girlfriend who is on the board of brookfield properties who has some sort of tie to the obama administration. keep it tidied up. i'm not making accusations, stuart. it is politics. >> they will be allowed back into this park. they'll be allowed back minus tents and sleeping bags. that's why i said the encampment element, that's gone. whether it survives as just a daily meeting point, that's another story. >> all right. we'll watch you on the fox business network this morning 9:20 a.m. eastern time. i know you'll be all over this story. than thanks, stu, look at this car wreck, hard to believe anyone survived. a 9-year-old girl made it out alive after surviving for two days on just pop tarts and gatorade. sadly, her dad who was behind

the wheel did not make it. jordan landon with her dad on highway 55 in north carolina when their car went over the side. there were reports he was going 100 miles per hour. >> get ready for another bailout? the federal agency that helps millions of homeowners may need you, the taxpayer to bail it out. according to this morning's "wall street journal", there's a 50% chance u.s. taxpayers will have to rescue the federal housing administration. which provides mortgage insurance for millions of low income homeowners. the agency is reportedly running out of money. they blame the rising number of defaults. eric? >> talk about sensitivity training gone bad. wyoming high school football coach pat lynch is resigning after a controversial questionnaire he handed out to his players. it's called the hurt feelings report. in it, lynch asks if players have permanent feelings damage or need tissues when they cry and it's asked if they're a cry baby, lynch says he's sorry. hey, brian?

>> man up. >> monday night football was not a good night if you're a minnesota vikings fan. >> can you take the monitor away from gretchen? take the monitor away. >> bring over those tissues. >> this is the monitor that gretchen normally uses. >> i feel much better. >> monday night football now, featured the nfl's best, green bay packers against the worst. that's what it says, the minnesota vikings. no surprise that the green bay packers destroyed the vikings. gretchen got some rest in the first quarter. it all fell apart. when you run that fast, it's not fair to the vikings because they're not. the packers go up 7-0, go up 17-0. aaron rodgers to nelson. the stiff arm, very impressive. 24-0 packers. rodgers had four touchdowns. they are 9-0. they won the final game -- the final score was 45-7. >> all right, nba now, the only thing nba players and owners do agree on is that the season is

indeed in jeopardy. the players union just rejected another offer from the league. the players then voted unanimously to disband the union and will now take their arguments to federal court. they'll file an antitrust lawsuit against the league. this could take months to get resolved. commissioner david stern called this the nba's nuclear winter. wow, what about all these people that work in the arenas who are now out of a job. new york jets coach rex ryan is well known for cursing at fans. now he'll be better known for cursing at fans, he did it again against the patriots on sunday night. watch. >> evidently, he didn't agree with the fan that said belichek is a better coach than him. that happened as they were walking to the locker room and he gave the middle finger to a fan at a ufc event a couple of years ago and got fined $50,000

for that. so that was caught on you tube. he apologized yesterday. >> ok. beware of what you do, there are cameras everywhere. >> especially after a football game. he's a high strung guy. >> let's talk about herman cain because one of the concerns that some people have had about the fact that he's never been a politician before, how would he do on foreign policy questions? he seemed to do pretty well on that during the debate on saturday night but yesterday during a moment of answering questions about libya in milwaukee with the editorial board of the newspaper there, he seemed to be stumped by the question of whether or not he agreed with president obama and the way in which he handled the libyan situation. watch this. >> president obama supported the uprising, correct? president obama called for the removal of qaddafi. i want to make sure we're

talking about the same thing before i say yes, i agree. or no, i didn't agree. i do not agree with the way he handles it. that's a different one. i got to go back, got all this stuff twirling around in my head. specifically, what did you ask me whether you agree or disagree with president obama. >> his spokesperson says we were all going on four hours' sleep so he was very tired. so that's what he's attributing it to. that's bad. >> it was painful to watch. i saw it. really -- you know, like i said, the conservatives are looking for someone to step up and be that one, the one that's not the established republican. be the one that can take the votes and bad timing for herman cain, this whole controversy surrounding sexual assault

issues and then harassment, i'm sorry and then sorting to get back on track and get back on message and then this. >> he gave an interview to "g.q." magazine and you know how he has called himself an ice cream flavor of black walnut. then he was asked to give the other candidates an ice cream flavor. this is when you just say, you know, no, i don't think i'm going to go there because he said mitt romney was just plain vanilla. and then he said governor rick perry was rocky road. but here's the one that's going to get him in trouble with the female vote and this is when he said that michelle bachmann, the congresswoman was -- he said right before he said it, i'm going to get in trouble. tooty fruity. you can't say that stuff. >> could he mean that she's sweet? >> he could but if there's -- just stay away from naming people after ice cream. >> why even bother? you know, i get the foreign policy. i get those questions. but do you need to characterize the other candidates? >> not obama. that's where i would go.

>> the thing is, it wasn't his idea. it was a question. he's got to respond. i don't know enough flavors to name enough candidates. >> that would be a heads-up to me to stay away from giving anybody names of flavors at all. >> all right. >> ok, coming up on the show, when a supreme court takes up president obama's health care law, expect something that's not happened since the civil war? judge napolitano is going to explain for us. >> he retired from being a war correspondent. he was too old from being scared stiff. instead, he embarked on something even more dangerous. a family vacation? p.j. o'rourke here next.

"holidays in heck" and he's my guest this morning. p.j., good morning to you. >> hi. hi. you know that movie was written by my old friend john hughes with whom i worked at the national lampoon a million years ago when we were kids. >> so you're riffing off that a little bit in your book. >> yeah. >> i love -- every parent is going to love this book, by the way, we've all been on those heckish, hellish vacations with our kids. i love how you open it up. i was told to be scared stiff and too stiff to sleep on the ground. in other words, it was easier being a war correspondent than going on these family trips. and now you're the father of two. tell me about the trip to disneyland. >> oh, the trip to disneyland. i mean, well, actually, my daughter, my middle daughter, what do i call her? poppet, they hate their nicknames in the book. anyway, she was then about 5 and she said daddy, i just don't like it and she says because all the animals have people sewn up inside them. >> i know, you bring -- >> i thought yes, good point!

>> and that was a great chapter. one of the other ones i loved is that you decided to go on a ski trip. a lot of people would think vale. you went on a cost saving trip to ohio. you liked what instead of skiing? >> tubing, you know. i don't know how many of the viewers ski but you know, when you ski like the instinct is to sit down or if not the instinct, the actuality is to sit down. i spend a lot of time sitting down while i'm skiing. when you're tubing, you're sitting down already. it's also, you know, it's ohio. it was a joke. i called my editor at "ski" magazine and i said you're always doing pieces about vale and aspen and all these places nobody can afford to go. we should ski some place like ohio. it gets lots of snow and he said ok. i said wait a minute, does that mean -- so off we went to mount barntop, you know, and chicken loaf mountain. highest altitude in ohio is 500 feet. >> exactly and your wife thought the highest altitude was

the ski instructor who was six feet high. a very funny line in the book. >> better looking than i am. >> one of the favorite titles is sweet and sour children and twice fried parents to go. that was your business trip to hong kong and you took the kids? >> i took the kids on a 20 some hour flight to hong kong. and that was -- well, what i found out was that i have given birth to a young bill clinton. my wife and i finally passed out and our son who i guess he was about 4, he got loose on the airplane. and i woke up later in a cold sweat realizing he was gone from the middle seat between my wife and me. i thought oh, my gosh. what has he done? where is he? he had gone up and down the aisles of the plane making friends with everyone. never bothering somebody when they were asleep but he would say, i'm quiff, i'm free. he was three.

you want to play? and he had his little toy cars and then he would play with someone briefly if they were willing to and then when they got bored he would move along. >> he was good entertainment for the 16 hour flight. >> so we get off the plane in hong kong, everybody is blurry and bleary, and as we're getting off the plane, everybody on the plane goes bye, cliff. have a great time, cliff. how are you doing, cliff? i realize this kid is going to be president of the united states some day. >> very cute.

review. they get over that hurdle, then they're going to go through all the challenges to it. not just the challenge to the individual mandate. not just the challenge to whether if part of the law is unconstitutional, can the rest stand? not just the challenge to can the congress make the states do what they don't want to do but the entire array of challenges, in federal apellate court has reviewed all the challenges. supreme court said they're going to do it. >> they spun it in a way that will be preferable to them. here's the response. we know the affordable care act is constitutional and we're confident the supreme court will agree. but doesn't it all come down to the swing vote of anthony kennedy? >> it probably does, gretchen.

evict occupiers in oakland for a second time, they returned back last night and they arrested at least 32 people and dismantled 100 tents. this afternoon, occupiers will plan to march to the university of california berkeley campus. more explosive revelations in the jerry sandusky sex abuse scandal. according to "the new york times," 10 more suspected victims have come forward since he was arrested. this happening as the former penn state assistant coach decided to speak out for the first time. >> a reasonable person says where there's this much smoke, there must be plenty of fire. what do you say? >> i say that i am innocent of those charges. >> in that interview with bob costas, sandusky says he's not a pedophile but does admit to showering with some of the alleged boys saying it was just "horseplay." the 67-year-old is charged with abusing at least eight boys over a 15 year period. and assistant coach mike mcquery

prosecutors say he added the extra digits. >> if were starbucks, it would be $167. that's where the big problem is. >> might have been more truthful, right? >> yeah. >> 4 minutes after the top of the hour. the g.o.p. race got a lot more interesting. newt gingrich has done so well on so many debates. we have double digits left, surging in the polls. look at the first poll, he's in second place. >> this is an amazing result. the g.o.p. presidential race, romney 24%. he's down from 26%. gingrich up from 8% to 22%. cain has slipped now from in the 20's to 14% and then rick perry on a bit of a surge. >> take a look at this poll. to back up newt's rise. newt in the public policy poll, 28% for newt. herman cain, 25% hanging in there. mitt romney down to 18%. again, romney not really breaking that 30% threshold. >> the first caucus, january 3rdrd.

iowa, how are they doing? herman cain has to feel pretty good about this despite all the controversy surrounding his campaign and his lack of an answer on libya. that was done after that. herman cain on top with 19. just one percentage point ahe had had -- ahead of ron paul. i love what newt said about himself. in all honesty, i don't think anybody else with the range of experiences, with the range of backgrounds and the willingness to take a beating that i have exhibited in 53 years exists elsewhere in the g.o.p. field. i don't know any other way for this country to get back on track inside to be willing to do that. and essentially to put him back in there. but out come the target. and the target is right on his back. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. a lot of things that have happened in his life are now going to come front and center. we're going to be interviewing newt gingrich coming up. 8:45 a.m. eastern standard time. and in the meantime, he's been raising more money, too, he's raised $3 million since october 1st. and i think what this signifies is a lot of different things. the conservative part of the republican party looking for that conservative candidate as

you mentioned before. they've gone from michelle bachmann to rick perry to herman cain and newt has gained while herman cain has slipped in the polls but it's interesting because newt's campaign was almost dead back in june. and it signifies how up in the air this entire race is. >> but newt's message has been the same. if we watched the debates, we've watched every single debate, he hasn't varied from this same -- we have to on the right side, the g.o.p. has to beat obama in 2012, whether it's me, newt or you, herman cain or rick perry, whoever it might be. whoever it is, it's got to be beat obama. it's been on message, he hasn't varied. unfortunately, now he's going to be the one as brian points out with the target. we'll see what happens with this left machine that has systemically taken the legs out of the leader whether it's bachmann, perry, any of them. herman cain, now newt. >> what about the governor

perry's staffers that jumped ship from newt? he's struggling and newt is soaring. most of all of his donors are first time donors. >> what about people that have endorsed other candidates? specifically, chris christie has endorsed mitt romney and he has gone on record now as saying that president obama is going to be really tough to beat in a year. >> i think anybody who underestimates the president over the next year underestimates him at their own peril. these guys have shown that they don't know a hell of a lot about governing but they know how to campaign. i think that the republicans can win in november. but they're going to face a very formidable incumbent president who will have a ton of money. and who will be willing to do whatever he needs to do to get himself out there in front of the people of this country and make his case. i think it's, you know, i think it's always tough to run against an incumbent president and the democrats learned that in 2004. a lot of democrats are saying this guy is a one termer.

it's over. he's going to be like his father, he's going to be a one termer. they've learned it's tough but i think republicans certainly have a chance to win. remember this, if unemployment is still around where it is right now, no president has ever gotten re-elected with unemployment at that number. so the president has to feel it, too. >> but president obama also -- and his staff seem somewhat concerned. fox has confirmed there was a high level meeting on november 9th with bill clinton, former president of the united states and they have not had the best relations. he wrote a book skewering a lot of his policies and getting the message out on what they accomplished. bill clinton listened a lot and then he started offering his insights and where he'd go. they also wanted to know how to win the bread basket of the country. the midwest. >> before we move on, very quickly, chris christie backs mitt romney for the presidency. here's something very important. with the health care debate and with the supreme court hearing, health care, obamacare, constitutionality of that, that is going to be very important to mitt romney. it's going to be very tough for him to say, look, you know, this

all going on, it's going to be in the news. i think that's what christie may be talking about. you got to be careful. don't underestimate mr. obama when you go at him in 2012. >> so at the top of this hour, brian was talking about bon jovi and what that video meant. why were we showing you bon jovi? it turns out that bon jovi and several other well named sorts of celebrities who are millionaires like scottie pippen who used to play for the chicago bulls basketball, bruce springsteen, famous singer. turns out they have been receiving a lot of benefits, tax loopholes in the system that we currently have in place even though they have enough money to pay for things like tax on land and things like bon jovi is getting a break. he only paid $100 on a plot of land. >> some of the big names that get the farm subsidies and allow themselves to pay very little taxes is jon bon jovi. he only paid $100 on his piece of lamb because he agreed to raise beans on it.

bruce springsteen got farm subsidies because he leased it out to an organic farmer. >> guess what? what do these guys have in common, springsteen, bon jovi. they're big obama supporters. i mean, if you're getting these tax loopholes. gretchen, work with me here. >> i thought you were going to say they're both from new jersey. >> that, too. they're obama supporters. why wouldn't you support a guy who you can raise it on your multimillion dollar policy. >> that was just a policy that came into place when president obama took office. >> it certainly didn't change. >> i think president obama would be in favor of closing these loopholes and maybe this is something that republicans would also be in favor of. it's $30 billion a year. come on! that's more than chump change. >> here's the one stat. they say 70% of the people who are getting these loans and grants for farm subsidies, list as their home address, city addresses. so can we at least crack down and make the people live there or the people that are getting the breaks actually own the place? so that was put together by tom

coburn. >> you raise beans and you get tax breaks? >> yes, evidently we're short of it. >> ok, honey. attorney general alberto gonzalez was forced out of office but our next guest says eric holder's fast & furious scandal is much worse. so why isn't he stepping down? >> and a treatment center was told cancel your bible class or lose your federal grant money. well, a shelter kept the bible class and then glenn beck stepped in with the cash. glenn beck is here live. he's coming up. >> is that him? could someone touch him? he is real. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal?

>> glad you're up. attorney general eric holder resisting increasing calls to resign over the botched fast & furious operation. got 36 congressmen now who want him to go including our next guest. in fact, he says holder's predecessor alberto gonzalez resigned under far less circumstances. congressman pretty severe, you want him out. what was the tipping point for you? >> you know, for me, the tipping point -- good morning, is that the attorney general came to congress. he was supposed to be prepared to give a presentation about what had happened during his administration, he told two members of congress that he had just barely come out about fast & furious and then we learned that he had actually known about it for months. i think he either lied to congress or he was grossly incompetent in his job. >> so it's his lack of knowledge and preparation for the fast & furious hearing that took place last week was the tipping point for you but if you look at his swath of work from when he took

over as attorney general, does that disturb you? >> you know, a lot of things that he's done disturb me. even before he was attorney general, if you recall, he testified before congress about the part of mark rich and he said he didn't know anything about it. it was very similar to his testimony about fast and furious. he said that he didn't know anything about it and then we find out after his testimony that he actually knew a lot about it and in fact, when he was attorney -- u.s. attorney, he led an investigation. we know about his problems with khali shaikh mohammed, we know a lot of things that he's done that are plain just not good -- not being a good attorney. >> you remember the attorney general gonzalez, good friends with president bush, named in there. a lot of people were against his nomination. they took the opportunity to ask him to resign. they said he's politically motivated and he's got to do. why so much pressure on that attorney general and not this attorney general? >> it seems the democrats

always want to kick out people in the republican administration and i think you can look at what both these attorney generals did and there's two different things. there was no evidence that attorney general gonzalez actually did anything for political reasons. all he did is as attorney general, it is his duty and responsibility to dismiss u.s. attorneys throughout the land. that was part of his responsibility. so he could do that. you know, brian, i remember my first day in law school. i'm an attorney. my first day in law school, my college professor got up and he said that the number one key to being a successful lawyer is preparation, preparation, preparation. it's amazing to me that the highest law enforcement officer in the land, the highest attorney in the land is ill prepared every time he comes to congress. he might be a nice guy and he might have a lot of responsibilities and a lot of people think he should keep his job but he doesn't have a right to keep this job especially when he cannot come to congress prepared to do his job. >> certainly been in the eye of storm in controversy. the big question is is he doing the president's dirty work or

doing his own thing and hurting the president in the process? representative raul labrador, very curious to see where we go from here. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> all right. 18 minutes after the hour. starbucks busted with its hands in the cookie jar. overcharging customers. are you one of them? what do you mean? pumpkin spice latte isn't $5.75? and a treatment center lost its federal grant money because it refused to cancel bible study. that's when glenn beck jumped in. he's talking to eric. wonder what they're talking about. i'd race down that hill without a helmet.

>> let's do some news by the numbers. first, $1.50. starbucks is no longer charging customers for bags of coffee beans that weigh less than 1/2 pound. they stopped after they got fined for not disclosing the hidden charge to customers. next, 200 miles per hour. that's how fast the 2013 ford mustang g.t. will go. guys, stop salivating. according to the automaker, ford also says it will have the most powerful v-8 engine in the world. 650 horsepowers. >> finally, one hour, toys r us will open its doors an hour early on black friday welcoming customers on 9:00 p.m. on thanksgiving night. does that mean they opened at 10:00 p.m. before? wow. ok, a lot of shopping will be going on there over the night hours. >> outspoken and known for telling it like it is. but there's a part of glenn beck's life that hasn't been so vocal. his childhood. >> in his newest book, glenn is sharing the story of a woman who

sets out on the journey to discover the truth about her painful past, a story that he says is very similar to his own. >> and here now is glenn beck. so glenn, you are taking the christmas sweater and saying let's continue that type theme. >> i wrote this as i was on tour for the christmas sweater about six years ago and i wasn't ready to tell the story the way i could and quite honestly i wasn't brave enough six years ago to tell the story. "christmas sweater" was more my story. very fictionalized and not the ending that i wanted it to have because i wasn't brave enough to put the ending and didn't have the clout at the time as a writer to be able to do it. this story is more the story of my sister's. and what happened in our family. and ending with a father that has alzheimer's and is trying to piece things together and a daughter who doesn't know what's real and what's not anymore. and it's quite an amazing trip.

>> what happened? >> i'm not going to tell you what happened. i will tell you that it is some neighbors that have known her for a long time and have known, a pastor's wife and her daughter that actually redeem her. and help her and in the end, it's a surprise ending but it's -- i think -- >> what is it about this time in your life that you felt comfortable enough -- >> i think you know it wasn't even that i was comfortable enough doing it because there's just some things happening still in my family that are difficult. it's that i really truly believe that we are at a crossroads as a people, as a country, that if we don't clear out our own stuff, if we don't get past the stuff that's holding us back, that's making you doubt, making you say, well, i'm not worthy or it's not me or i can't do it or

i'm not good enough. whatever it is, we don't get past that, you're going to be out of the game and on the wrong team. >> you see a lot of stuff going on. you saw this coming. >> unfortunately, i did. and mocked all the way for it. and what's coming next is -- is our choice. it doesn't have to go this way. >> let's put some context to it. we're talking about these protests that we're seeing around the country and what eric is alluding to is while you were on the air here at fox, you said this might happen. >> yeah, i've been talking about this for over two years and you coupled this with what's happening in the middle east which i also was mocked for saying, you look at these things now and they're beginning to happen, unfortunately, almost exactly the way i tracked them two years ago.

i know the players and i know what's going on, again, because of what we had happen in brooklyn over the weekend with real anti-semitism. i mean, scary anti-semitism with burning of cars and everything else, we are headed for dangerous territory and every single person has got to make their choice now. they've got to know who they are, they have to know that they are part of the solution, and not part of the problem. >> it's kind of interesting. technically from different perspectives you agree with the president, we're lazy, unmotivated because that's what president has been saying. is that what you're saying? >> no, i don't believe that. >> you just said that we lost our way. >> we did. >> get rid of our stuff and isn't the president saying the same thing? >> what's happening with us is we bought into the lies that you could have it all and character didn't matter. character absolutely matters. also, we buy into this lie that, well, you know, you know, you need somebody else to fix things. no, you don't. you need god and you and that's it.

and with god and you getting rid of the garbage in your life, i mean, spiritual garbage in your life. >> we teased this story earlier in the show, tell us the story. there was a shelter that wanted to use the bible but they were told if they use the bible, if they read from the bible, they were going to lose their funding. you stepped in, what happened? >> actually, i read this story yesterday on the blaze which is my web site and i saw it and this -- they were -- it was a women's shelter. and they were taking care of women and there wasn't a problem. the state came in and said wait a minute, you're making women read the bible. that's an important part of healing. if you don't like it, that's fine. whatever. but the state and feds said, well you're going to lose your funding and so they lost 55,000 dollars in funding and they were letting -- they just let two people go and they were trying to close some things down. and i called the woman and i said so what is your plan? she said the lord will provide.

i said he just did. and the reason why i didn't do that in, you know, my closet or in secret places that you're supposed to do is because if you believe in small government, they're going to try to shut us down every step of the way. they're going to stop, they're going to try to get us enslaved to the government and compromise yourself every step of the way. if you believe in small government. i believe, as you probably do, somewhat, we're all going to be broke because this is going off the edge. and so everything is fundamentally transforming. what we have is each other. put your money where your heart is, do the right thing. let there be a beacon of light because there's enough beacons of darkness, let there be a beacon of light and take care of each other. >> and you did just that for that shelter in giving your personal donation. if people want to pick up the book, it's called "the snow angel." it will be a bestseller again. >> can you make the next one about the summer? i get cold looking at your

summers. i need to see a beach with glenn beck. >> george washington. >> on the beach? >> not on the beach. >> forget it. have him on the beach. >> he might be in a boat, though. >> valley forge. >> about snow. >> great to see you. >> and speaking of the sun, listen to this tease.

>> welcome back, everyone. president obama heading to australia today. lucky him. continuing a nine day trip around the pacific. >> chief white house correspondent ed henry is traveling with the president. he joins us now live from honolulu. ed, good morning. good night, what is it? >> it's kind of the middle of the night. you're all very popular, i can

tell you. we'll get to that in a minute. i spoke to people on the beach about you guys. the president trying to wrap up a little bit of work here. he had the summit over the weekend. yesterday, he did a fundraiser here for the 2012 re-election bid and then also played a little bit of golf. but what he was trying to do while he was here with asian leaders is talk about what a growing, thriving region the pacific really is right now. not just china but you have these emerging economies like vietnam and singapore and others. the president had a framework put together for a new trade deal, transpacific partnership, they're calling it, to deal with some of those smaller countries that add up to about 200 million consumers and the president saying expand u.s. exports to those countries that will mean some jobs right here at home. and then as you mentioned going on to australia and wrap up this trip at the end of the week in indonesia. what's significant about that, he's not going to be stopping in china. instead, when you talk to u.s.

officials, they're sending a not so subtle signal they have other partners in this region and while they want to trade with china, they'll have to work with china, there are others in this region they'll work with as well, guys. >> i've never challenged you on your facts before. earlier before the report, you said that the people of hawaii know who we are. and are familiar with the show. young man, i just don't think that's possible. >> no, look, right now, it's 7:30 by you. 2:30 here in honolulu. got up early for you guys. and believe it or not, there's some people who don't go to bed. they stay up. they love "fox & friends." there are others, of course, who did get to bed. i went down here to waikiki beach behind me and i got a mixed bag of who knows you and who doesn't. >> she's a news anchor for fox. >> look at that. you didn't know the first one

but you knew gretchen. >> wait. >> now i know. >> kilmeade, what do you think about him? >> he looks kind of sketchy. >> sketchy, why? >> i don't know. that smile, you know. >> the smile? really good smile. >> good smile, i don't know. morning show. >> yeah. the morning show. "fox & friends." >> yeah. yeah. absolutely. >> you like them? >> steve? >> i wouldn't let my daughters date them. >> why not? >> no, i do like them. >> you like them. there's another guy. we'll have to ask you tough questions about. what do you think of him? >> yeah, i know him. i know him. >> what do you think about him? >> i don't know. >> she's sleeping. you're in hawaii. >> does he pass the daughters test? >> no, he can date my cousin. >> i think he's married. >> date her. >> i don't want to ask in front of your wife, but what do you think of gretchen? >> beautiful. >> know her and like her? >> you know what time we watch

the fox morning news here, around midnight. >> you just don't go to bed. >> i stay up all night so i can watch. >> number one with insomniacs. >> you can see that gentleman with the tattoos is a big, big fan. he then lifted up his wife in the air, pretty strong guy it turns out. and she didn't really know who you guys are. >> wow! >> lifted her up in the air and it was pretty funny. there was somebody else we talked to. >> i heard about picking up women on the beach. i've never something like that. >> well, there was somebody else i talked to what had no idea who doocy was by the way, i'm sorry he's not here to defend who he was, one person thought doocy was a realtor. this is a canadian couple. they say he looked trustworthy and they'd buy a house from him. somebody else thought doocy looked like john edwards. i'm not sure he wants that connection. a little bit of a stretch. and kilmeade, somebody thought you looked like the guy from big love. so i don't know what that means. >> the guy from what? >> you mean the mormon? >> the show "big love"? >> i know what that -- i don't really watch it. he said you look like the guy in

big love. >> brian would like that role. >> gretchen is beautiful. doocy is a real estate agent and you're a sketchy mormon. >> that's what i thought. >> i like how i fared in this poll oochlt i've watched you do recaps of press conferences with less detail than you just went over. you're on the beach report of "fox & friends." >> i love the detail. when you pass on those kinds of details, some good. some bad. especially good for gretchen. i don't know. >> you know what? i want you to be a regular on "fox & friends." i don't know how much you're going to love that. because it's the middle of the night but we loved having you. thank you so much. that was a lot of fun. >> thank you, guys. >> he'd be great to have on as a reporter. he's a great reporter and he likes to have fun. >> he invoices us right after the show. >> let's do the headlines with a fox news alert. you're looking at video of the wall street occupiers waiting right now in foley square around 1:00 a.m., police came into zuccotti park evicting them.

they arrested at least 70 people who refused to leave. they tore down tents, tarps, sleeping bags so the sanitation crews could clean up what's become a serious health and safety hazard. the city says the occupiers will be allowed to return after the cleanup is done. get this, they cannot come back with any of that paraphernalia. >> they were looking for hidden drugs but found people instead. mexican soldiers discovering at least 140 migrants from central america packed behind a wall in a tractor-trailer. it happened at a routine checkpoint. two men were detained in connection with the discovery. eric? >> and you're looking at this car wreck. it's hard to believe anyone survived but a 9-year-old girl made it out alive after surviving for two days on just pop tarts and gatorade. sadly, her dad who was behind the wheel did not make it. jordan landon was with her dad on highway 55 in north carolina when their car went over the side. there were reports he was going 100 miles an hour. gretch. >> a mom from england making her baby boy an internet

>> medicare contractors are being paid tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to detect fraud in the system. but they are hardly getting the job done. a newly released report shows that contractors are using inaccurate and inconsistent data making it difficult for them to actually identify those bogus claims. the result is that undetected fraud and abuse has told now an estimated $60 billion a year. joining me now is a former head of health care fraud and criminal prosecution at the department of justice. good to see you. >> good morning. >> when this story first came to us yesterday, i think me myself included and all the viewers are like what? i mean, on top of having medicare fraud, we're now wasting billions in the effort to try to crack down on it? how could that be? >> well, medicare pays first and asks questions later and the problem primarily originated in 1996 when they divided the companies into two parts. the companies that pay the

claims and the companies that police the claims. so what's going on right now is unlike other americans that read their bills first, medicare pays and then a separate company comes in and polices later. >> so you say that the company that's in charge of actually paying out this money, then, does not have the incentive to stop the fraud. >> well, that's primarily right. as part of hippa in 1996, congress created a law that allowed medicare to separate these functions. so what you have is one company policing to look for fraud and a separate company serving to pay the claims. it doesn't make a lot of sense. >> so why in general is medicare such a target for criminal and fraud? >> well, if you think about it, the companies that pay the claims if they're not reviewing them for fraud in the first instance, they're rewarded on processing, the speed with which they process. how quickly they can get claims

in the door and out the door. so unlike other situations in government where you have one company that has an incentive to stop fraud, you have one -- a company that's essentially incentivized to pay it. >> so how can we change this, kirk? because people are watching this this morning and especially now where we're talking so much about the debt that this nation faces and the wasted money out the door, what can we do to change this? >> well, there's a couple of things congress could do. they could go back and look at the law that allowed the medicare program to separate these functions and they could look at how to make sure that the people paying taxpayer money out are responsible for policing the program, are responsible and incentivized to make sure that the claims are right. >> yeah, but you say politics plays into this, too, in what way? >> well, there are a number of things going on here. if you increase funding for medicare, you're obviously

increasing the size of the bureaucracy. but if you don't, you are letting criminals walk away with tons of money. so it's a catch 22 and it's always a hard situation to be in. if you increase the size of government to police fraud, you are increasing the size. but if you do not do that, you have to live with a substantial amount of fraud. >> to the tune of $60 billion and counting. kirk, thank you so much for explaining a complicated topic for us. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show, if you're looking for a job or you need some extra cash, you want to stick around. top five companies hiring for the holidays. that's next. but first, on this day in history in 1987, "mony mony" by billy idol. you always correct me. you're so culturally oriented. thank you so much.

>> it's that time of year again, stores are stocking up on seasonal employees and that means there are jobs on the market. cheryl casone from the fox business network is here with who's hiring right now. go ahead, take it away. >> last year, we had 627,000 seasonal jobs created in this country. it's going to be a little bit more this year. before i get to some of the seasonal jobs, though, i want to bring in a company we featured before and that's hertz. largest car company rental in the world. i had the ceo on, i asked him what he is looking for and who he's targeting for jobs in this country. he had an interesting answer. i want you to listen to this. >> we target a lot of ex-military personnel because

they typically have good leadership skills, they have been trained well and they step up. that's what we're looking for. we're typically looking for people who have great communication skills, that have been under stress because it's a fairly fast paced environment. >> i thought that was really interesting, on the heels of veterans day, they have a program right now where they're actually bringing in more veterans. like he said, specifically targeting veterans but also donating to veterans themed charities. i had to bring that to all of you. i thought that was great. >> not seasonal rental car company. >> actually, hertz believe it or not, this surprised me as well, they actually do have a pickup in the holidays. they have about 1,000 jobs left for the year. the rest of these guys, though, i want to get to all of them. they're all seasonal jobs. toys r us. toys r us is going to need people at the counters, people at the distribution centers working the web site. and they usually hire every year between 35,000 and 45,000. they're targeting about 40,000 this year. all of these businesses, if they get busy, busier, they're going to get more people. so don't think that seasonal

jobs aren't available right now. a lot of them have been filled but there's still more that could be opening up. >> jcpenney, 37,000. >> you know this company, on the business side, they came out with earnings yesterday. it's been kind of rough for jcpenney. interesting, though, ron johnson, he came from apple computer, he's going to take over the company. one of the most successful retail names in the country, right? he hired two more guys from apple to come over so instant story there but yes, they are hiring and they're look for people, same thing, it's distribution. it's customer service. it's for the web site. it's on the phones. go to jcpenneycareers.com and that will give you some of the job listings. >> kohls, up and coming retailer. >> another interesting story because they have been expanding. they plan to expand more next year but for now, they're actually looking for seasonal workers. this is one of the things that confirmed the discount, that's very important if you work in a seasonal job. you have to get the discount to do some shopping. i'm all about the discount. >> 40%. >> i'm a very cheap individual. you do get a discount there.

but they're also going to be looking for customer service representatives, distribution. that's kind of the theme with all these companies. >> this one is important. the next one. talk to me about best buy. best buy seems to be, you know, when you want to know what's going on with the economy, you look to best buy and see what they're doing. >> do you want to be a blue shirt? i remember, remember circuit city? no, you don't. they're out of business. best buy put them out of business. they've been very successful when it comes to electronics and those blue shirts. i've had the ceo before on fox business, he prides himself on customer service, the blue shirts. 15,000 jobs, also the geek squad. you know, the guy -- i use the geek squad and you probably know what you're doing with computers. i do not. >> i question, 15,000. i'm looking at hertz, 40,000, toys r us, 30,000. it seems like best buy, 15,000. does that mean the economy is not doing as well as we thought? >> i think that this holiday season is going to be -- it's a little bit of a question mark right now because we've had a rough year. unemployment is still at 9% in this country. that's why we do this segment to help people find jobs that are out there. at the same time, though, businesses have not been

expanding and growing. got a lot of global issues, as you know, so we're very concerned about the economy. having said that, these next three weeks are going to be fascinating as we look at the retailers. if they do add more jobs, eric, that means things are improving. this is the time for us to assess how the consumer is doing. it's the holiday season so it's crucial for the economy. >> you'll have to leave it there. you can check out cheryl at noon on the fox business network and if this segment has helped you find a job, let us know. e-mail us. >> thanks, eric. good to see you. >> yesterday, we told you about this professor who said stop supporting our troops. the way he sees it, they're cold hearted killers. an iraqi veteran who is also a student at that college responds. then solyndra was just the start. turns out 80% of energy department loans went to obama's supporters. should there be an investigation? laura ingraham top of the hour coming up. sweetie i think you need a little extra fiber in your diet.

>> gretchen: oh, yes. he tends to wear the sleeveless. he's got good guns there. you do, too. i'm sure you do, too. anyway, let's get to headlines before i get myself in trouble. we have breaking news here in new york city. you're looking live in zuccotti park where police have been kicking out thousands of occupiers at 1:00 a.m. this morning. they arrested at least 70 people who refuse to leave. new york city mayor michael bloomberg told protesters they can return to the park, but they'll have to follow all of the rules so that includes no tent, tarps, or sleeping bags. earlier this morning, sanitation crews dumped all the debris in garbage trucks. in oakland, california, occupiers returned for a second time despite police efforts to evict them. they arrested at least 32 people and dismonthled 100 tents. this afternoon, occupiers there plan to march to the university of california berkeley campus. explosive new revelations in the jerry sandusky sex abuse scandal. according to the "new york

times," ten more suspected victims have come forward since he was arrested. this happening as the former penn state assistant coach speaks for the first time. >> a reasonable person says where there is this much smoke, there must be plenty of fire. what do you say? >> i say that i am innocent of those charges. >> gretchen: so in that interview with bob costas, sandusky says he's not a pedophile, but does admit amazingly, to showering with some of the alleged victims, saying it was just, quote, horseplay. the 67-year-old is charged with abusing at least eight boys over a 15-year period. assistant coach mcqueary speaking out. he's claiming he did stop sandusky from attacking a boy in a locker room shower, saying, quote, i did the right thing. you know me. the truth is not out there fully. i didn't just turn and run. i made sure it stopped. a lock down lifted at the university of north carolina at

wilmington even though an armed robber is still on the loose. officials telling students there will be class this morning. last night's holdup happened at a fast food restaurant near the university. it's believed the suspect ran from the scene right onto that campus. we're told he had a red cloth covering his face. a truly inspiring story. congresswoman gabrielle giffords talking, even singing for the first time since getting shot in the head ten months ago, at least on television doing so. her road to recovery is far from over. giffords, who stick struggled to form words, says she doesn't plan on returning back to congress just yet. >> no. better. >> it's better? >> she wants to get better. >> better. >> gretchen: wow. giffords' husband, mark kelly, went on to say his wife is,

quote, too tough to let this beat her. and those are your headlines. miraculous that she even survived and how far she's come in ten months. >> brian: hard work. joining us right now, we love when she visits each and every week, laura ingraham, welcome back. >> hey, guys. i can't believe you're break dancing, brian. didn't that end in like 1989? i can't believe they're even doing break dancing still. but it's amazing. >> eric: when i read the run down, it said boling break dancing. >> that would be something i would watch on "the five." all five of you break dancing. >> come on. >> brian: the thing that changed this week, laura, is not your hair, but it's never looked better, i might add. it's the new leader in one poll in particular, or at least amongst the leaders, newt gingrich. has this rise surprised you, because it seems to have surprised him? >> well, i and a few others for

the last few weeks have been wondering when newt would start rising because as we watch these debates, and they've been pretty interesting, debate after debate, they never seem to end, but there are a lot of them to come. after a while, we watch the field and romney quits himself very well. and cain is fun and makes great points and santorum is forthright about social issues. but gingrich has been a stalwart advocate for conservative and no doubt in my mind that he in the end will probably be the last conservative challenging to challenge mitt romney. >> gretchen: that's so interesting because when you look back in june, laura, his campaign was almost dead. all those staffers left. he had a lot of questions that he had to answer about personal finances, et cetera. and now he actually last week said he believed that the nomination would come down to himself or mitt romney and that's exactly what you're

saying today. >> i think he's very smart. i'm one of the people pretty much counted him out in june. i mean, i never doubted that he was one of the smartest people out there, but newt gingrich seemed to be his own worst enemy back then. now looking back on it, it does make sense, now that we see that the field never got any bigger. mitch daniels said no. jeb bush said no. barbara said no. rob portman decided not to run. who was going to be there in the end? bachman had her moment, but for whatever reason, nationally is not rising as she hoped. in the end, it was going to be someone like a newt gingrich and i think we look back on the cruise, everyone was complain being it? maybe the cruise did him good. who knows? in the end, again, you're not going to worry he's going to have an oops moment like herman cain had yesterday. you don't have to worry what's going on with libya or collective bargaining. >> gretchen: he'll be coming up live on our show.

>> eric: topic two, peter schweitzer comes out and talking about new ways congress people are treated differently in insider trading. here is the one, one of the things that we found or that he exposes, up to 80% of the department of energy loans went to -- let me read this properly -- members of obama's finance committee or large donors to the democratic party. when $16 billion of the $20 billion available goes to friends of obama, what does that tell you? >> well, what happened to we're going to drain the swamp? remember pelosi comes out when she takes the gavel. it's the end of corruption as we know it. the cronyism of dc is over. we're going to drain the swamp. i think she needs to go to the white house and finally vanquish the swamp monster because we have people in charge of these loan programs that aren't as shah rightser points out, brilliantly i might add, they're not scientists or engineers. these are partisans running

these programs. if this were george bush doing anything similar to this, there would be a national media stampede to cover this story. but peter shah rightser and a few histories have been on this from -- few others have been on this from day one about solyndra and other offshoots that may not be as bad as solyndra, but questionable from the outset. either the technology wasn't fully developed or operating statements were not completely clear and transparent. i think this is a huge issue and i hope that whether it's gingrich or romney or whoever, i hope this is an issue that is at the forefront for the american taxpayers. it's a lot of money we're talking about. >> brian: the department of energy, eight out of ten dollars goes to green companies. how is that and four out of five are linked somehow to president obama's supporters. >> they're not even solar ready. forget shovel ready. they're not ready, period. >> brian: you know what it's like to have your home heated by solar panels in the winter?

cold. it's freezing. >> i'm sure it's fun to have solar technology if it works, but the bottom line is the taxpayer shouldn't be on the hook for it. shouldn't be on the hook for cronies who give to the obama campaign. it's obscene. not when we're bleeding so much money as it is. >> gretchen: you have a busy day ahead with your radio show. don't miss the break dancing with brian. >> we have the monitors upstairs. we'll be watching. >> brian: i'm getting ready for larry the cable guy. >> gretchen: have a great day. >> take care. >> gretchen: coming up, a professor says stop supporting our troops because they're cold hearted killers. an iraq veteran and student at his college will respond. >> brian: this week, the president playing down reports he was caught on an open mike. the mayor of jerusalem here with his thoughts when we come back ♪

>> gretchen: dangerous regime in iran ramping up efforts to build a nuke blear weapon according to a new report from the united nations. >> brian: in response, some say the israeli government is inching closer to a military attack on iran's nuclear facilities without warning the u.s. first. >> gretchen: the mayor of jerusalem is our guest this morning. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so let's talk about that fact. well, the reality that israel faces with a possible nuclear war head coming from iran would, in fact, israel strike without notifying the united states? >> well, ahmadinejab says he wants to wipe us out. he's building the capabilities to wipe us out. i think that israel and the jewish people and the whole world must not allow another

holocaust. so we got to delay the process. we got to do everything we can not to enable this crazy man have a nuclear weapon. i trust the israeli government that they will know and act accordingly. of course, in conjunction with the world, but eventually somebody has got to do the job and stop him and i trust the israeli government to do the right thing. >> brian: inist jerusalem where you're the mayor would be the target. in the big picture, the thing that's changed over the last few years is israel feels they have to take care of themselves, do they feel like they're alone right now? >> well, no. i think the bond between israel and the united states, the shared values, the strategic alliance is unshakeable. although i do think that this administration is putting a lot of pressure on israel as if though we don't want peace ourselves. we're the most peace-seeking country on earth. we want to have peace. we don't need the pressure. we need the help. so there is a bit of a

difference in the way this administration is putting pressure on israel. i would advise we have to more align our interests rather than put pressure on us, but with respect to iran, there is no doubt in my mind that we share the same values and probably, i'm only guessing, that the relationship and the understanding is very, very high. >> gretchen: one thing that had people scratching their heads here at home, sir, was this hot mic moment that captured president obama and the president of france, sarkozy, basically dissing your prime minister, netanyahu. here was the quote. sarkozy to obama, i cannot bear netanyahu. he's a liar. obama responds, you're fed up with him? i have to deal with him every day. he went on to clarify after this was released, sir, that what he was talking about was the fact that he was actually supporting israel for palestine to not get statehood at the united nations. none the less, your reaction? >> again, i think that the bond between the israeli people and

the americans and the free world, all the democracy, the bonds are extremely important d all the people expect the world leaders to be accordingly, let's put it this way, play ball. and we expect them to work together on the common interests and the common goals. i think that's the most important -- >> brian: it's got to be disturbing when the prime minister of your nation is called a liar by france and agreed to by the president. how does that feel as mayor of jerusalem? >> i expect more from people. and again, let's move on and work the relationship. there is too much to lose by not working together and let's not get to the small details. i expect more from the leaders of the world. >> gretchen: what are you hearing from american jews here about the upcoming election, because some people are now -- and the polls are showing it, saying that president obama is going to lose more of the jewish vote than he did back in 2008.

the latest poll shows that in june 2009 he had 80%. and in september, 54%. what do you hear back in israel? >> i see the relationship. when the administration is putting a lot of pressure on israel, condemning for building in the city of jerusalem t doesn't make any sense to israelis and to the jews. and jerusalem is the heart and soul of the jewish people. you put pressure on the heart and soul of the jewish people, then the whole body reacts. there's a direct relationship, israel needs help. we don't need the pressure. israel needs a friend. we don't need the condemnation. i think that the reflection of the pressure put by this administration on israel. >> brian: we just know this, iran suffered a major blow over the weekend in a huge explosion, the general in charge of their long-range missile program was blown up along with 17 others

and there is a lot of people who think that's related to their illegal program. we'll find out where those tie. so maybe there was a mini setback there. mr. mayor, thanks so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much. >> brian: 19 minutes after the hour. >> gretchen: this professor says stop supporting our troops. they're only out to kill? an iraq veteran and student at his college responds next. >> brian: then he's a comedian, actor, my ohm real friend. larry the cable guy is cooking tailgating. is there anyone more fun to tailgate with [ male announcer ] have you heard?

two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands ojobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for oucountry's energy security and our economy.

>> brian: the company behind the keystone xl oil pipeline from canada to texas will reroute it to get it on track. president obama under pressure from environmentalists wants to delay the decision on the pipeline until after next year's election, putting more than 20,000 new american jobs on hold. and they're rich, they're famous. and you are bailing them out. yes, new report by senator tom coburn reports that millionaires like jon bon jovi and bruce springstein are either collecting human subsidies or getting big tax breaks. last year bon jovi paid 100 bucks for a property he owns in new jersey. >> eric: just days before veteran's day, suffolk university professor sent this e-mail to students. it said, quote, i think it's shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an

academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings. end quote. joining us now, an army veteran who served two tours in iraq and a senior at suffolk university. brooks foley. thank you for joining us. when you heard about that e-mail, what did it make you feel like? what was your response? >> obviously i was upset. it was veteran's day and to wake up and read something like that from somebody from the university, it obviously stirred a lot of emotions with me. >> eric: brooks, you served two tours in iraq. you have a brother in afghanistan right now. explain what the professor was referring to. there was a collection that was being brought to put together care packages to send overseas. is that right? >> yeah, that was actually within the law school and then the undergrad program. and yeah. basically teachers were trying to get packages together to send overseas and he obviously

objected to that. >> eric: so you wrote a letter. i'm going to read an excerpt from it. it says, it was nice to wake up on veteran's day and see your ignorant comments calling all vets killers. next time you feel like shuffling everyone under title killers, think about the words coming out of your mouth. it's heart warming for me to know that you and your family are safe while my friends and brother are protecting your freedom. so on veteran's day, why don't you thank a soldier instead of hiding behind your desk? have you heard from the professor since you wrote that letter? >> no, i have not. i didn't really expect to. i just wanted to voice my opinion. >> eric: i wear the flag on my chest every single day and i thank you and every other vet for your service. what's the feeling? give us a sentiment from suffolk university. have the students banded around you? have they expressed their discontent with the professor? >> you know, there is a lot of

respect for the soldiers at our school. most of the faculty are 100% behind us. i can't thank them enough for that. we do have a veterans group that has banded together this year. they were obviously upset. but i think for the most part, everybody is behind us and our feelings towards his comments. >> eric: brooks, you're a senior at suffolk university. is that right? >> that's correct. >> eric: what do you plan to do when you're done? >> we'll see. i graduate this year. i work with my buddy right now in a third party logistics company. and i'm a business major, so we'll kind of see what happens at the end of the year. >> eric: brooks foley, thank you for joining us this morning. if you would like to donate a care package to our troops issues please go to our web site. momentum is growing, brand-new polls putting newt gingrich at the top of the gop presidential pile. but with the high marks come the low blows.

[ laughter ] >> gretchen: oh, my goodness. i love larry the cable guy and brian together. much more of that coming up. let's do some headlines for you now. we have to start with a fox news alert. new york city mayor michael bloomberg hold ago press conference right now. here is a live look. he's outlining the new rules in place for people who want to

protest in zuccotti park. around 1:00 a.m. this morning, police came into the park evicting them. they arrested at least 70 people who refused to leave. they tore down tent, tarps and sleeping bags so sanitation crew cost clean up what's become a serious health and safety hazard. the city says the occupiers will be allowed to return after clean-up is done, but here is the kicker to that. without any of their tents or other paraphernalia. looking at this car wreck, it's hard to believe anyone survived. but a nine-year-old girl made it out alive after surviving for two days on just pop tarts and gatorade. sadly, her father, who was behind the wheel, did not make it. jordan landon was with her dad on highway 55 in north carolina when their car went over the side. there are reports he was going 100 miles per hour at the time. get ready for another bailout. the federal agency that helps millions of homeowners may need you, the taxpayer, to bail it out now. according to this morning's "wall street journal," there is a 50% chance u.s. taxpayers will have to rescue the federal

>> gretchen: welcome back. the republican presidential race taking another turn. and this time it's newt gingrich coming around the bend. a new poll shows him with 22% of the vote to governor mitt romney's 24%. a staticcal tie. joining me now, presidential candidate newt gingrich. good morning to you, mr. speaker. >> gretchen, good to be with you. >> gretchen: what do you make of these polls? >> i think the voters are very

concerned. the american people are very concerned about the economy, about a $2 trillion deficit, about washington that doesn't seem to work. it's all bickering and partisanship. so i think they're looking for somebody who makes sense and who offers them an optimistic sense that we can get america to work again. and i think week after week in the debates, because i focus so much on substance and on positive solutions, i think we've been steadily gaining ground. in the last week or so, it seems to have increased dramatically the number of people interested in having the kind of positive solution oriented campaign and the future with -- if you go to newt.org, you see 21st century with america that outlines how we could get america back on track and how we could get back to creating jobs, could shrink government in washington and could control the deficit and move toward a balanced budget. >> gretchen: it's interesting because you were so much of the talk on the sunday talk shows as well and i think that the media

has something to do with that, too. i want to take a look at two other polls. national primary poll of likely gop voters, you're on top. 28%. herman cain, 25%. mitt romney has dropped to 18%. then let's go to iowa because that's where the first caucus is going to be held. it is a staticcal tie between how they view the top four, cain, paul, romney and yourself. undoubtedly, you have gone up in the polls, do you believe, because of herman cain and some of the troubles that he has faced as being the other conservative or one of the other conservatives in this race? >> i think you've had a series of people, starting with tim pawlenty and michelle bachman and rick perry, then herman cain, there have been a series of people who sort of auditioned for being the conservative alternative to mitt romney and mitt romney has been very stable and very steady and now we're in a situation where to some extent, people are done looking at newt gingrich and having to

decide do they like the solutions i'm offering? do they like my own track record as speaker with welfare reform, balanced budget, first tax cuts in 16 years, bringing unemployment down to 4.2%, is that a record they'd like to see repeated in washington? i think to some extent, that's given me a real advantage over my friends who are also running. >> gretchen: i think one of the things the american people like about you, too, if i can go out on a limb, is that they don't necessarily like a career politician, but maybe what they like about you as a career politician is that you tell it like it is and that seems to be what they like about people who aren't politicians. your comments. >> i may have the best of both worlds 'cause while i served in congress and was speaker of the house, i did take the last 12 years off to run four small businesses, write books and make speeches. so they can look at that and say, you know, he understands the private sector. i specialized in health care and national security. those are both huge issue force

the country. and i think that allows me to combine experience with an outsider's viewpoint that allows me to approach things like washington probably very, very different from most traditional politicians, but at the same time, with a lot more knowledge than somebody who has never served in washington. >> gretchen: one of the things that happens to people when they rise in the polls, you become, almost like a target comes on your back. it's already starting for you. so apparently there have been these flyers that are going under hotel room doors in iowa talking about your failed marriages. how are you going to tackle now these attacks? are you just going to do one big interview and say, here is all what i'm going to say about it? what are you going to do? >> i've done this very consistently now for six or seven months. i'm very open. it's a matter of public record. i'm very open about the fact that i've had moments in my life that i regret. i've indicated that i've had to go to god and ask forgiveness and seek reconciliation. as you know, because we both been on your show, i have a very close marriage with calista.

we do many, many things together. i'm very close to my two daughters, kathy and jackie. jackie is having a birthday today, so happy birthday, jackie. we're very close and very close to my two grandchildren, to my two son-in-laws. and anybody who looks at me as a 68-year-old grandfather and says to themselves, all right, has he grown wiser? has he learned if his experiences? is he somebody i would trust to lead the american people? they've got to run to their own judgment about that. all this stuff will come up and that's part of the process. i think people will look at the totality of my life and then they've got to make a decision themselves. i'm very comfortable relying on the american people to have a sense of decency and to have a sense of understanding of human beings. >> gretchen: all right. they ask a lot of politicians, but maybe they have never asked to you break dance. brian is going to have to break dance coming up. you may want to stay tuned for that. >> there may be limits to my commitment here. >> gretchen: all right. thank you for joining us early
