donate to the department of treasury? >> individually? >> yes. >> no. >> i thought that was important to the press conference to pay more millionaires. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> good morning, everybody. thanks so much for getting up early to join us. you must not recognize where you are right now. >> i saw you on the business channel and i just saw you over the weekend so what are we doing together? >> i'm filling in for gretchen. >> i'll be in for steve today. there's a lot it talk about. >> so much to talk about. we'll begin with headlines. yesterday, you live in the city. >> i do. >> what happened to traffic and what happened to people and what happened to a lot of police officers is so outrageous, i hope this whole occupy thing comes to a screeching halt. >> we'll bring you the latest in a second. let's bring you the headlines.

the man charged with attempting to assassinate president obama. he's made a startling claim to oprah in this startling video. >> you see, oprah, there's still so much more that god needs to express to the world. it's not just a coincidence that i look like jesus. i am the modern day jesus christ that you all have been waiting for. >> the 21-year-old claims he was the anti-christ. he is accused of firing several shots at the white house. another college sports program rocked by sex abuse allegations. an assistant coach for the syracuse university basketball team now accused of molesting two former ball boys. the alleged victims' stepbrothers who say he abused them in the 1980's and 1990's. >> i remember feeling disgusted

laying in bed, what am i doing? why is it happening? he always keeps coming back. >> i didn't feel right about it and i told him, bernie, please don't do that to me and then he'd do it again and again. >> he is now on administrative leave while police look into these accusations. head coach says the university investigated the claims in 2005 and determined they were unfounded. steven chu visiting general electric solar panel factory in colorado today trying to put a positive spin on the obama administration's solar push just a day after getting grilled about the solyndra scandal. chu refused to apologize for the government's $535 million loan to the failed company. how much money will the federal government get to recover? >> that remains to be seen. i'm assuming not very much. >> republicans were calling for chu to be fired. a move the white house apparently considered before the

scandal broke. and it's official, demi moore and ashton kutcher are getting divorced. the actress announced she's ending her six year marriage. kutcher tweeted he will forever cherish his time spent with demi. the couple's relationship sparked a tabloid frenzy with rumors about kutcher's alleged infidelity. those are your headlines. >> as they try to get their lives together, i have to wonder what kind of lives these people who are occupying wall street actually were under before they decided this was their mission. the two month anniversary was marked by, i don't know, massive arrests to the tune of 400 with a total on this whole occupy movement being 3,621. what was their point, eric? >> not sure what their point is but i did hear, brian, yesterday i was watching the coverage all over the place, van jones came out and he was all of a sudden stepping forward saying, hey, look, i'll be the spokesman here. here's what we're looking for. we're looking for the income equality gap to kind of shrink a

little bit. this is a man who is a self-admitted marxist. but that struck me. i did a little investigating. if you look at what occupy wall street wants and the principles of marxism, they're almost identical. they want the working class to rise up against the establishment. and they want income redistribution so if that's their message, boy, it's not going to be long before that thing goes away. that can't last. >> yesterday, one of the things they wanted which they failed to do is they wanted to delay the opening bell on wall street so they wanted to create some havoc and so much disruption that, i guess, people couldn't make it into ring the opening bell. that didn't happen. but what they did end up doing, they also tried to shut down the subway system which makes no sense. that's where the 99% travel. the 1% are not on the subway. i can tell you that. but they wanted to disrupt things and they ended up disrupting a lot of things. here's a moment from yesterday.

>> every protest needs a little resistance. we work on wall street. we cannot get to work because people are here in our way. you see what's going on here? we have jobs. we work every day. we're trying to stimulate the economy and we cannot get to work because there's thousands of -- we can't get through. we can't get through. >> get outta here! >> that's so great. occupy a desk. go get a job and that really should be the theory. these people are using this as a big excuse to get together and have a huge party. and i don't know, does it make any sense to block people's way to work and children to school to get your point across? is that how you're going to win people over? by harassing an 8-year-old as he or she tries to get to grammar school? parents and teachers were guarding the doors of schools especially downtown and in tribeca to make sure these occupiers didn't storm inside. >> kids were reportedly terrified because they didn't know if this was a parade.

if this was a battle, they didn't know what was going on. so the kids were trying to make their way through here. wcbs caught them, we don't have the video right now, the kids were clutching their parents. >> scared. scared. there were 4-year-olds who said to their parents, mommy, i'm scared. i don't know what's going on. you can't expect a 4-year-old to understand what's going on. >> i don't understand what's going on. >> they were weighing in. take a listen to this. >> these own wall street protesters who now want to infringe upon people's right and liberty to go to work that is trying to destroy the greatest nation in the world. >> there is no justification for violence. there's no justification for tearing up private property. there's no justification for blocking the streets and harassing innocent citizens. i think it's one thing to have the right of free speech.

no one has the right to be a mob. >> you know, peter vallone said it best, city councilman, that group proved they are able to piss off 99% of us from stopping them from getting home and this is their last gasp of this movement. they've angered just about everybody in new york city. >> are you allowed to say on that on the air? >> i'm not sure. >> you decide if it's a good point but here's a point. the obama administration, the left had originally signed on to the occupy movement. in fact, obama used the 1% term a couple of times. now the g.o.p., as it's heating up, the rhetoric, the g.o.p. sees this as a detriment to the left. that's very smart of them to say, by the way, we're against that. you want to sign on to that left? obama, etc., knock yourself out. it's all yours. >> i think there's a difference in what's happened over the last two months. some people believe in the message and some people think it's ok to have raised awareness about the vast income disparity. but the tactics now are what is

very hard to support tactics -- >> should we support throwing broken bottles at cops, should we support splashing them with vinegar and tossing lit cigarettes in their direction and we have how many now? 10 policemen who had to be brought to a hospital. because of being assaulted and over 400 arrested and this has cost us $12 million overall. >> that's a great point. >> this thing started in a brookfield properties park, they're supposed to run this park. send that bill to brookfield properties and see how long it takes to clean that up and keep it straight from there. >> let's talk some politics. rick perry has asked nancy pelosi to debate him. and one of the -- the topic he wants to talk about is having basically a part-time citizen congress whereby they get paid much less and they have real jobs. they have day jobs. they do this for public service. and so they are on capitol hill much less time than they are. it's basically modelled on the

texas legislature. nancy pelosi had some fun at rick perry's debate expense on this yesterday. >> he did ask if i could debate here in washington on monday. it is my understanding. that such a letter has come in. monday, i'm going to be in portland in the morning. i'm going to be visiting some of our labs in california in the afternoon. that's two. i can't remember what the third thing is. >> maybe the third thing is, miss pelosi, maybe the third thing is your ability to insider trade and make hundreds of thousands of dollars on illegal -- not illegal, let's call it the right way. information that the rest of the public doesn't have. >> are you copying that line from rick perry? >> no, i'm trying to make a point here. >> that's exactly what he said. >> yes. >> you and he are having a mind meld. that was rick perry's response. let's listen to this. > >> i know why nancy pelosi

doesn't want to debate me in public, then she's going to have to explain why she profited from these insider trading information when in the stock market. but if she won't explain her activities in a public setting such as a debate, then i challenge her to turn over all that information to the securities exchange commission, or an independent prosecutor to determine if she used insider information through her position in congress to make money off of her investments. >> can i just point out, i don't think she did anything illegal but if i had done that or brian and alisyn had done exactly what she did, we'd be probably hauled off to jail. >> you're referring to the "60 minutes" expose of how members of congress get all sorts of sweetheart deals. she took advantage of this ipo for visa that she bought lots of bargain basement stock shares. >> in the book the "60 minutes" piece was based off, there's

millions of examples of that. denny hastert leads the book and john boehner but was able to adequately answer the question. attorney general must not have been in the meeting when president obama called on america and his cabinet to start living in -- living a life in which you tighten your belt and subscribe to austerity because he's now in the caribbean on a taxpayer driven trip! >> he says he's on to the caribbean because he wants to improve law enforcement. >> right. >> in the region and in fact, sign some law enforcement agreements there so he's in the d.r., trinidad and barbados. it's five days and critics have said, you know, to sign an agreement, it doesn't take five days. you can do that in two days. >> look at that map, the first stop was in the dominican republic. maybe he could go visit charlie rangel's little villas. >> that's the old charlie rangel. >> right. >> he says he's going to have a few law enforcement meetings, get together and have some

conferences. >> that's nice. >> well, he just had a tough hearing on capitol hill. >> that's right. >> coming up straight ahead, they're supposed to be checking for bombs so why are these customs agents sleeping on the job? and -- >> they occupied the sidewalks but the markets opened on time. so was their big day of action a complete failure? stu varney puts it all in perspective. he's coming up.

>> occupy protesters clashed with police in new york city and elsewhere yesterday as the movement moved into its second -- well, actually, its third

month. >> moved into the third month. hundreds of arrests were made but other than causing a nuisance, did the protest accomplish anything? stuart varney is here to let us know. >> no. >> ok, segment over. >> if you told me what impact has this movement had on national policy? economic policy? >> i can answer that. i can answer that a little bit. >> i think that what they have done successfully is make the 99% part of the vernacular. people now say the 1% and the 99% didn't exist before them. that's it. in terms of the conversation. >> what this movement has done is associate a movement that's now completely disruptive. that's what it does, it disrupts people trying to get to work, it's associated that movement with president obama. tax the rich, spread the wealth. that's not an association, i think, that the president really wants. >> we've talked about it a couple of minutes ago. early on, they were signing on to it. >> they did, yes. >> i heard president obama on several occasions reference the 1%. that's signing in. all of a sudden, i think the g.o.p. is very smart now with all the violence going on, the rapes, the drug use, you know,

various things going on to say, hey, by the way, you want that, that's what you're for, fine, but we'rence go that kind of thing. >> but look at the fawning coverage. yesterday, it was a march. turnout was disappointing. it was purely disruptive. had no effect on stock trading. contrast the coverage in the establishment media of that march and those actions yesterday around the country with the tea party rallies. there's a complete divorce between the kind of coverage offered. >> yesterday what they said their goal was is they wanted to delay the opening bell of the stock market because that would surely send a big message. but did it come close to that? >> not even close, i think. there were, i believe, about 1,000 people close to the new york stock exchange that did not succeed in interrupting the functioning of the market or the people getting into the stock exchange floor. no disruption there whatsoever and the turnout was much lower than expected. >> stuart, we need to point this out. you spent a lot of time in the

stock exchange and various buildings around it. there are a handful of traders that may be the 1% but for the most part, the majority of the people working in that area are the 99%, not the handful of traders. there's literally thousands of support staff that aren't millionaires and billionaires. >> precisely right. that's why i say occupy wall street is dead and dying. it just -- it downgraded itself into a purely disruptive movement. who is it disrupting? it's disrupting ordinary people trying to get to work. and school kids. i saw that piece you ran there, those kids are terrified. it's disrupting small business owners who have the misfortune to be close by these demonstrators. that's who it's -- it's a disruptive movement. it's not doing anything for our society. >> stu varney, we'll watch you on the business network. >> that's how i really feel, ok? take that. >> we will. >> to the bank. >> meanwhile, police shoot and kill a suspect who came at them screaming and waving a knife. see the tape that will decide whether they actually made the right call.

>> and we've tacked more than $4 billion to the debt since president obama took office. our next guest says overspending has become the new norm and today, today he's going to change that maybe. almost tastes like one of jack's als. fiber one. h, forgot jack cereal. [ jack ] what's for breakfast? um... try the number one! [ jack ] yeah, ts is pretty good. [ male announcer ]alf a day's worth of fiber. fiber one.

>> 22 minutes past the hour. james arthur ray faces nine years in prison at his sentencing today. he was found guilty of negligent homicide after three people died from heat stroke following a sweat lodge ceremony in sedona

and secret service is protecting herman cain after the republican presidential candidate received death threats. it's unusual for candidates to get secret service protection this early in the race. he asked for it and congressional leaders approved it. >> for the first time in history, the u.s. national debt soaring past $15 trillion as you see over my shoulder, this comes as the house of representatives will vote on a balanced budget amendment, today they'll do it. that means the government will not be allewd to spend more than it takes in if the house has its way. does that sound good? does the bill stand a chance? joining us, house chief deputy whip, congressman peter rascum. why go for this now when most of the focus should be on the super committee? >> well, we should go for it now because can you imagine how differently this would be, brian, if this had passed back in 1995, the last time it was seriously considered? i mean, to your point, we have a $15 trillion debt problem that is just having a crushing

impact. yeah, the super committee is incredibly important but moving this forward at the same time in order to get the balance budget concept in place, i think, is something that is an opportunity we can't pass up on. >> of course, it's got to pass the house and stop dead in the senate. not the case in 1995 where that passed the house and it was one vote shy of passing in the senate. what's changed? >> here's what's changed. now, as you know, this is a super majority requirement in the house. what does that mean? that seems simple majority of republicans alone in the house can't pass it because we need democrats' help because it's -- it's an amendment to the constitution. so it's going to take 50 democrats today. now, unfortunately, the democratic leadership, two of whom have voted for this in the past have now flipped their positions, taken a partisan position and are urging their colleagues to vote against it. i hope that democrat rank and file members will shrug that off and say we're going to do the right thing for the country and join with republicans and pass it. >> one of those people is steny

hoyer who voted for it and now is voting against it. he's blaming president bush. we did not have a spending problem or a revenue problem, we have a pay for problem but in reality, you can say the bush tax cuts, you can talk about the prescription drug plan. you could talk about anything you want with the wars. but in the end, in 2007, our deficit was $161 billion. that is totally livable. you can live on that. you can't live and sustain -- you can't sustain a country the way we're living now. >> no, these numbers don't add up and all we have to do is look across the atlantic and look at the few choices that europe has. they've got one bad choice after another bad choice. and we've got a decision to make as a country. we can decide that we're going to take this problem on now, be forthright about it and recognize that our revenues and expenses don't meet and deal with this or we can say, wow,

let's shrug it off. unfortunately, the democratic leadership is choosing to shrug it off. i think that's really, really unfortunate. >> unfortunate, too, is the congressional approval rating. we know how low it is, even in single digits. they did a little study and said how low is it compared to other people who seem to be unpopular? for example, communists. ranked below communists in the country at 11%, the b.p. people who were responsible for the oil spill had 16% approval. nixon's popularity in the middle of watergate was 23%. why is congress looked at so unfavorably by this country? >> well, i think for examples just like this. so, for example, there was an earlier version of the balanced budget amendment that did not enjoy democrat support, so we brought today this historic version and the one that almost came within a whisker of passing in 1995 and now you've got democrat leadership that is shunning that for a partisan

reason and i think the public eyes glaze over and they say look, enough of this nonsense. i think it would be an incredible boost to the economy. it would be an incredible boost to the confidence of the country if we were able to move this out today on a bipartisan basis and put the debate over the united states senate and ultimately send this out to the states and let the states decide. >> if every republican votes for it, how many democrats will you need? >> you need about 50 democrats to shrug off the bad advice of their leadership. >> if you don't say so yourself. thanks very much for joining us today. good luck with the vote. >> thank you. >> straight ahead, remember the patriotic millionaires who we said they supported higher taxes. >> would you be willing to donate to the department of treasury? >> individually? >> no. >> when offered the opportunity to pay more taxes, they have a sudden change of heart. and their job, to keep our borders secure so why are these custom agents asleep on the job in i guess nobody is sneaking

secretary clinton herself. he joins us now from indonesia. another good assignment. tell us about this historic trip. >> good morning. she's going to be sent there by president obama in early december. he sees flickers of progress in the fact that the new government in myanmar is starting to release some political prisoners, starting to clean up its human rights record. in fact, last night, aboard air force one, the president placed a phone call to the pro democracy leader who has been under house arrest. she now is essentially saying she's going to run for a seat in parliament because of these changes in the government. when i sat down with secretary of state clinton, she said look, she wants to basically go on a fact finding mission and see if this is for real. keep her eyes wide open and make sure this new government is really going to do what it says. take a listen. >> we sensed some changes. >> well, a little bit of problem with the tape.

basically, she said that they sense that there's some signs of progress but basically, they want to verify the old reagan line, perhaps, trust but verify -- you know, verify that, in fact, this new government is going to follow through on all of that. they've got some tough u.s. sanctions that have hit the economy in myanmar and i think the u.s. clearly wants to make sure and the obama administration that the government there is not just doing this to get the sanctions released, that they're actually going to have some reform. guys? >> yeah. this is eric bolling. just noticed that a lot of activity is going on behind hillary clinton. at one point, there was a streaker and another point some people were throwing some -- what are the people there, what do they think when they see the first secretary of state from the united states in 50 years visiting them? are they welcoming? are they happy she's there? >> so happy they took their clothes off! >> well, she'll be going there in december. incident you're referring to is a near naked man, i guess, in

hawaii a few days ago, first lady was there meeting another leader. and the guy was trying to get to a laui ceremony, he was late and he had a torch in his hand and ran past her. it's become a you tube sensation because she was laughing outloud. i asked her, by the way, whether or not she misses 2012, whether she misses, you know, being in the thick of yet another campaign after the bruising battle of 2008. she basically told me, been there, done that. let's see if we have that clip. >> ed, that was a wonderful experience. i cannot tell you run for president but that was then. this is now. and i'm very focused on what i think needs to be done for our country and that's where my time and attention is devoted. >> she also said she's very excited that her daughter is launching a journalism career now, just hired by nbc news. guys? >> that's great. thanks so much for the update from bali. wonderful. by the way, streaking with a torch, you know, dangerous. brian learned that. >> yeah.

>> energy secretary steven chu visiting general electric's solar panel factory in colorado today trying to put a positive

spin on the administration's solar push that's gone so well. a day after getting grilled about solyndra. >> who is to apologize to the half a billion dollars that has been out the door? >> well, it is extremely unfortunate of what has happened with solyndra but if you go back and look at the time decisions being made, was there incompetence? was there undue -- was there any influence of a political nature? and i would have to say no. >> and he also admitted that the taxpayers do not stand a chance of getting back the lost money so is all of that legal? let's ask judge napolitano, the host of "freedom watch" on fox business network. judge, here's the deal. you invest in a company. it goes bankrupt. you don't get your money back. you made a bad bet, that's how it works in this country. >> if it was your money and you really looked at this investment vehicle and decided it was worth

the risk, the answer to your question is yes but when you're the government and you have the people's money and you're investing in an industry where you want the people to go but where they're not ready to go because the chinese make better solar panels at far less cost than we do, when you decide that the money should go to a particular company because the principle investor in that company is also a principle contributor to your boss, the president of the united states, i would take issue with secretary chu and i would argue this was a political decision and it was grossly negligent. and it gets worse. because when the government puts money into a corporation, the corporation signs a document, i'm simplifying this, basically saying if we go bankrupt, the government it at the head of the line. they don't do that in this case. so there is zero chance, zero, that the public will get back the half billion that the administration wasted on solyndra. >> alisyn, he simplified it for me. auto i -- i got that.

>> where's the picture of you on the sidewalk? >> i think we've had it burned. but judge, steven chu yesterday, i mean, this is ridiculous some of the things he said don't even hold up. he had no idea that they were asking him to postpone layoffs until november 3rdrd. he had no idea about the order in which people are going to be paid back. how could that possibly be? >> he's probably telling truth because he couldn't care less. that's demonstrative of the way this decision was made because it's the government bewasting t people's money. you would never waste your own money as ignorant of what's going on as the secretary of energy was investing your money. >> the investors got to leapfrog them and go to the front of the line on a payback for the investment that is highly unusual, unorthodox, most loans are not structured that way. is that illegal? >> no, it's not illegal but it's the failure of the department of energy to protect the people's money. the government, i don't want to criticize the government, you

know that, but the government always gets to the head of the line when it comes to paying back investors. in this case, it didn't happen. >> we're going to watch "freedom watch" tonight. i know you have a big show. >> the young woman that just interrogated those, michelle fields she's on the show tonight and she'll be here in a few hours. >> pleasure. where's that picture of kilmeade? >> i'll get you a copy! >> autograph. >> listen to this story -- >> there it is! >> wow! >> i hadn't seen that, i just did. wow, brian! >> has mrs. kilmeade seen that? >> she does not get cable. has no idea what i do. she thinks i'm in tv repair. she doesn't know i'm actually on tv. >> somehow, brian, i'm not surprised. >> meanwhile, appropriately, a town named turkey, yes, turkey, it's been asked to change its name by, guess who, peta, wait until you hear why. go ahead, bri. >> and you pay extra for

>> airlines already charge dozens of extra fees and the latest outrage, passengers overseas being told to pay for their fuel? what happened to the good old days of aviation like in the show "pan am" joining us is former pan am flight attendant

who worked for the airline for nearly 25 years. thank you so much and by the way, thank you for wearing your flight attendant uniform from back in the day. tell us, how is air travel changed? especially for us, the traveler? >> oh, that is very difficult to say. it was a totally different era and 45 years ago when i started, everything in the world was different. it was slower, we didn't have instant communication. most of the people weren't traveling international on vacation. so travel was way more expensive than it is today. >> so we're not -- i don't mean to cut you off. can i ask you, were you nice to the passengers when you were a flight attendant? >> without question. and i hope we are still nice today.

>> that's my point. i mean, i travel quite a bit and i don't think they're very nice to us travelers lately, the flight attendants. >> i'm sorry to hear that. i don't know what to say to that. the whole industry has changed and maybe -- oh, this is a sensitive question. the passengers are not always nice to us either. >> that's true. that's true. tell us back when you flew for pan am, you had -- you had to do things like know how to cook, prepare meals, is that right? >> oh, yes. and i brought you all the tools. right here. i was flying and the purse i had, all the tools that were needed on the airplane to provide the service carving knife, fork, meat thermometer,

and here, i don't know if you can see, hold that up, all the other tools, can opener. >> now, i'm lucky to get a little bag of peanuts and pretzel. maybe i'm lucky to get a bag of pretzels. things have really changed, haven't they? >> they have changed but i think what the public forgets that when i started to fly airplane fuel was basically nothing. >> i apologize, we have to go. we're running long on the segment. we're going to lose that satellite. thank you so much for joining us again. >> thank you. >> all right. it was a staple of his 2008 campaign. >> i want transparency. i want accountability. >> so the american people can be involved in their own government. >> why are the white house transparency meetings now behind closed doors?

>> good morning, everyone. it's friday, november 18th. i'm alisyn camerota. occupy protesters getting carried away and now pulling children into the protests. are they taking out their anger on the wrong people? >> can i answer that or is that -- >> no, that's a tease. first, he went after obama and now the suspected white house shooter, after oprah? >> you see, oprah? there is still so much more that god needs to express to the world. >> new details on his odd obsessions with the president. >> yeah,>> he'll be expressing them from cell block d i'm guessing. we showed you this picture

earlier in the week. a reception hall goes up in flames during this couple's wedding. couple will be here live. by the way, "fox & friends" starts right now. >> good morning! >> good morning. >> good morning. >> who was that? >> what do you mean? >> who was that, that voice? >> that's mike. >> that was mike who is -- >> prompter nod if you agree. maybe that isn't. there he is. he rolled it up. >> very good. all right. so eric, you're in for steve. alisyn, you're in for gretchen and together we're bringing you friday and friday begins with a look back at thursday. and when you talk about that occupy movement, to me, they jump the shark and that's what i pretty much tweeted about now that i have a responsibility. they jumped the shark yesterday because the anger and the inconvenience that they caused and the outright rudeness has to turn any supporters against them.

>> what happened was, as you may know, earlier this week, they were evicted from zuccotti park which was sort of the, you know, nerve center of where they've been for the past two months so now, yesterday, they were just out on the streets and one of their stated goals was to delay the opening bell of wall street. that didn't happen. then another goal, this one i'm very confused about. they wanted to disrupt subway service. what is the point in -- the subway is what the 99% use to get to their jobs. to keep, you know, the city functioning. why -- why disrupt subway service? >> so brian said they jumped the shark yesterday because defecating on police cars, exposing themselves to children, that wasn't jumping it but blocking the subways is shark jumping? >> everything. >> they're anarchists. they're awful. >> what their agenda is and what it started to be and what it is now, can you imagine a politician saying yeah, that's my movement. but that's what some of them were saying earlier but can't be saying now. here's something you should keep in mind. if you agree with some of the

things they're saying, that's fine. but do you agree with costing new york's overall $12 million? do you agree with 3,621 arrests. just in overtime, you saw the beating some of these cops were taking yesterday, having cigarettes flipped at them. they were being splashed with vinegar. splashed with other things. broken bottles. 10 had to go into jail right away. they also tried to block the brooklyn bridge. what they did is succeed, according to peter vallone, a city councilman and a democrat is ticking off 99% of us by stopping them from getting home to their jobs and to school. >> and two of those people who were blocked from getting to their jobs were, i guess, wall street guys. and so some cameras interviewed them because they had a counterprotest with their own signs. let's watch. >> we're trying to peacefully stop -- every protest needs a little resistance. we work on wall street. we cannot get to work because these people are here in our

way. you see what's going on here? we have jobs, we work every day and we're trying to stimulate the economy and we can't get to work. we can't get through! we can't get through! >> get out of here! get out of here! >> they have nowhere to go. that's the problem. >> point something out, for every 1% of wall street trader, there's probably 2,000 people who are support staff. people who work in the area and work in restaurants and what not. whatever the occupy is trying to do, they're really hurting the 99% as well as the 1% they're trying to hurt. >> the question today obviously, if they had a message that resonated which many argue they do for the past two months, their tactics are what are being looked at today. even grade kids who were trying to get to their nursery schools and their grade schools yesterday were blocked by these protesters and there are all sorts of reports of parents having to fight through this gauntlet of protesters, kids saying why is this happening? i'm terrified. why is this happening?

>> there's a change going on. the left came out and kind of locked arms with occupy wall street, the g.o.p. now sees it changing and they're doing something very smart. they're moving away from the protests saying you want that, that's all yours. take a listen to herman cain and newt gingrich last night on wall street. >> these own wall street protesters who now want to infringe upon people's rights and liberty to go to work. that is trying to destroy the greatest nation in the world. >> there is no justification for violence. there's no justification for tearing up private property. there's no justification for blocking the streets and harassing innocent citizens. i think it's one thing to have the right of free speech. no one has the right to be a mob. >> and you guys want to see

plummeting poll numbers? no, we're not going to flash up michelle bachmann. we're going to tell you about the wall street occupy movement. look at this. supporters, 33% are calling to the poll. 33% support it. opposing, now 45%. not sure, 22%. >> just to tell you -- >> you meant barack obama poll numbers. >> no, michelle bachmann. >> here's the point. a month ago, it was at 35% so that's not a huge difference but their disapproval rating has jumped. a month ago it was 36% opposed them. now it's up to 45%. >> they got about 18,000 dollars after zuccotti park was shut down in the two month mark on monday on their -- they've been existing for two months so they got that money. if you're a union member and you know your union is giving money to this movement, that you could use in your house, in your wallet, how disappointed and angry are you today? >> very quick point, brookfield properties manages that park. they're responsible for the park. they should pay for all this, whatever, $12 million.

>> $12 million overall in every city. $7 million in new york alone. >> there you go. $7 million, that bill should be sent to brookfield properties, very wealthy company, by the way. >> way to work your way into that. >> we have some more news to tell you about that. the man charged with attempting to assassinate president obama is making a startling claim to oprah in this just released video. >> you see, oprah? there is still so much more that god needs me to express to the world. it's not just a coincidence that i look like jesus. i am the modern day jesus christ that you all have been waiting for. >> well, the 21-year-old claims the president was the anti-christ. he wanted to send the video to oprah to get his message out. ortega-hernandez is accused of firing several shots at the white house. another college coach rocked by sex abuse allegations.

bernie fine, an assistant coach for the syracuse university basketball team is now accused of molesting two former ball boys. the alleged victims, stepbrothers who say that fine abused them in the 80's and 90's. >> i just remember feeling disgusted like i did anything bad. what am i doing? why is this happening? all that -- i just -- he just always keep coming back. >> i didn't feel right about it. and i told him that, bernie, please don't do that to me and then, you know, he'd do it again and again. >> well, fine is on administrative leave while police look into these accusations. the head coach says the university investigated the claims in 2005. and they determined they were unfounded. energy secretary steven chu is visiting general electric's solar panel factory in colorado today. he's trying to put a positive spin on the obama administration's solar push. this is a day after getting grilled about the solyndra scandal. chu refusing to apologize for the government's $535 million loan to the failed company.

>> how much money do you think that the federal government will be able to recover? >> well, that remains to be seen. >> well, what's your -- >> i'm going to say not very much. >> republicans are calling for chu to be fired. a move the white house apparently considered before the scandal broke. they were just inches away from being crushed to death. listen to this story. three middle school students making a frantic 911 call after getting trapped in an elevator shaft. >> hello? >> at the high school. >> it's not moving! >> please! lift it up! >> so scary. the dramatic scene unfolding at a middle school in oklahoma city. the girls were 12 and 13 years old. they waunndered into the shaft during the lunch break because they were curious. the door locked behind them. they reportedly used their feet, their boots to hold the elevator

up until paramedics could rescue them 40 minutes later. otherwise. they would have been crushed. thank goodness they were wearing some thick steel toe enforced boots or they would have been squashed. >> uggs wouldn't have worked. >> they really wouldn't. those are too soft. that's a lesson to all of us. >> i don't know about you but when peta talks, i listen and certainly i think the country of turkey has to listen to this. >> the town of turkey. >> the country, too. i think they're going to be dragged into this. we're talking about turkey, texas but also talking about turkey the nation. wait until they get word of this. something has to change if peta gets their way. >> go ahead, eric. >> peta wants them to change the name because, what, it's -- >> it's unethical, is that what -- >> turkeys have a very hard life and they would like turkey, texas to change the name of their town to tofurkey.

>> do they have a problem with tur ducken. do you know what that? >> a turkey stuffed in a duck and a chicken. >> they would have many problems with that. here's the thing, they would want them to change it to tofurkey, the name of the town. if the town does that, they will give them a free tofurkey celebration for thanksgiving. i don't know if that's a powerful enough inducement for the town that would have to give up their delicious turkey dinner for a tofurkey dinner. >> how thin is the peta's to do list? now let's focus on the town in texas, everybody, let's gather around. >> as thin as the news cycle this morning. >> i beg your pardon. are you casting dispersions on my news? let us know what you think about that. talk to us on twitter. >> ali fox. >> none of your business. >> step away from the soccer ball. a school calls for an all out

>> each and every month, vice president joe biden meets with select government officials to hold transparency meetings. but listen to this, the meetings are behind closed doors. the press are not allowed. is this what the president meant when he promised the most transparent administration in history? >> i have a track record of

transparency, i'll make our government open and transparent. >> we'll do it in a transparent way. >> i want transparency, i want accountability. >> so the american people can be involved in their own government. >> let's talk about it with our transparent panel this morning. a political strategist, lauren ashburn is the former editor of ganett broadcasting and alexis ma gill johnson is executive director of american values. i want to start with you, these transparency meetings, they have a laudable goal, basically, they want to make federal spending data more reliable and more accessible to the american public so why not have open door meetings? >> well, listen, barack obama received a transparency award back in march behind closed doors without even telling any members of the media. therefore, drawing ire from the same open government groups that gave them award. it's not like they have this great track record. you know the problem, they're the victims of their own rhetoric. you just played a great reel. barack obama has never missed an opportunity to say how transparent he was going to be. he can't operate that way.

sometimes as president you can't always -- >> i think what happens is that vision collides with reality. if you're running for president, you have a lot of things to say. and then you get into the white house and you think oh, i can't accomplish all of this. >> don't make promises you can't keep. this is an easy one to keep. why not fling open the doors and let the sunshine in? >> a lot of that, there is another side to this. take a look at what happened wikileaks. if you show every single thing with every document and every single thing that happened, america isn't going to look so good. >> don't create the expectation that you're going to. that's the problem. >> again, this is just making spending data more accessible to the public. this isn't top secrets of the c.i.a. this seems like an easy one they could let the press in to see. >> i think the challenge is and i agree with the rest of the panel is that we're living in a 24-hour news cycle so the sense that we're able to actually offer -- the government is able to offer all information at once, i think, is really difficult when, you know, things just will spin around before

they've had time to really get the business done. >> i agree with you, expectations, you always learn to promise less than you can deliver. otherwise, you look bad. >> right, but he did promise to have the most transparent presidency in history, basically, and that doesn't seem to have an achieved. >> not at all. three weeks ago, the department of justice proposed actually being able to have government agencies deny the existence of documents that do exist if they don't fall under the freedom of information act. that drew the ire of aclu, open the government.org and other groups like that. this administration has been very systemically opposed to transparency despite their rhetoric. >> hold on -- >> i want to argue that the previous administration actually put a lot of these transparency issues in place, right? our whole clamor -- >> you say that george w. bush doesn't get enough credit. >> at least we know where joe biden is. >> you can also argue, though, that president obama is overexposed. he's given more interviews to the media than virtually any

other president. >> hold your thoughts. you have to stick around. next with our panel, we told you about eric holder's trip to the caribbean, the one that you're paying for. is this a five day trip a good idea? one of our three panelists say yes. we'll reveal who. and bye-bye, behar. why joy behar just got the axe from her own tv show. we'll explain.

that's how many pages were in general electric's 2010 tax return. the company made $14 billion in profits but paid no taxes. thanks to federal loopholes. and finally, 26 months. that's how long joy behar has lasted on hln, yes, headline news. but the show is being canned due to dismal ratings. she will continue to appear on "the view", i guess. >> attorney general eric holder is taking a break from washington and all of those calls for him to resign over the botched fast & furious scandal with a trip to the caribbean and you the taxpayer are paying for it. before the break, we revealed that one of you doesn't have a problem with this trip. which one is it? >> it would have to be me. >> to the caribbean, being paid for by the taxpayers. why don't you have an issue with this? >> look, i mean, i don't think that we should be scrutinizing the fact that we might have real legitimate business in the caribbean and i think that the challenges around if we had that

same line of inquiry, we'd be looking at congress. we'd be looking at all the kind of private boondoggles that are going on as well and the administration p.r. officials have a tin ear when it comes to timing on these things. take a look at the time when president obama went to martha's vineyard and his wife went to spain and it's just -- it is the perception, it's the politics of perception and that matters. >> and in fact, president obama just this week had called for some belt tightening and no unnecessary travel. so critics say is five days in barbados and the dominican republic really -- and trinidad, really necessary snoo au -- >> especially if you're talking about medicare fraud and attending a conference that's an annual thing, not the special meeting that needs the attorney general's attention. back to transparency, doj only released the actual schedule to one news organization, the daily beast, which is a liberal organization because they didn't want people -- >> they certainly are. >> i think those are really good

points but we do have serious issues down there. we have drug trafficking issues and counterterrorism issues and the caribbean is right -- he needs to talk about it. >> we have 44 congressmen who are talking about the immediate resignation from his job. he has an ongoing investigation for fast & furious in both the house and in the doj itself. he needs to stay state side. >> what i loved was the spin that came after it. well, he had to sit in a restaurant that had a fan and didn't have air conditioning. and then they had to put down the tarp because there was a lot of rain. >> in other words, he's roughing it. >> couldn't you argue maybe they sent him to the caribbean to get away from some of the fast & furious? >> that's a very logical argument to make. if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. with a 24-hour news cycle and media attention on eric holder, they follow him down there so everybody knows this kind of tactic won't work this time. >> thanks so much for your panel this morning.

great to see you. >> thanks. >> meanwhile, these customs agents aren't checking for bombs. the only thing they're watching are the insides of their eyelids. they're caught napping on the job. we'll explain where. then son, please step away from that soccer ball. one school instituting an all out ban on any ball that might cause a bruise. and thanksgiving comes early. we're headed into the kitchen. good morning, sandra!

>> time for your shot of the morning. it looks something like this. is this little girl destined for the dark side? >> her evil laugh has a lot of people laughing. the video is appropriately titled my daughter has alcoholic beveragesen the dark side posted on you tube by one of her parents with the screen name, star destroyer 65. >> oh, i wouldn't call that an evil laugh. sinister, yes. it was a sinister laugh. >> i'll tell you about one guy who has got to be smiling today. despite trying to explain the fannie and freddie and his contribution, it has to be newt gingrich. when the polls have come in to

show where he stands right now in iowa, which will have their caucus on january 3rd, look at these numbers. >> eric, hasn't this race been crazy so far? i mean, the roller coaster of who is up in any given week has really kept it interesting. now, newt gingrich is having this, you know, resurgence, i mean. >> he's running up the polls. >> here's the issue. >> from 10 years ago. >> almost -- on like a clock ring in the morning, when you hit the top of the g.o.p. number, they start attacking you -- >> yeah, you go i'm not sure if i want to be up here right now because the attacks start. yesterday morning, newt was at the top, off the top, the left -- msnbc, all the left leaning stuff started attacking his relationships with fannie and freddie. really, it's almost -- >> you got to be ready for it. and this is a good time to find out if his consulting contract can withstand the scrutiny.

still run, donald trump, remember that name, of course, for his flirtation with the possible presidential race. now his wife says don't count him out. he still may run for president. >> i don't think he's counted himself out. every monday he indicates he might be still in the mix. the other g.o.p. candidates look at him as a visible player. they visit him and look for him for advice. and president obama has taken his china policy. do you see how muscular the president has been in asia? >> good point. i'm not falling for it. until i hear exploratory committee, i am not falling for it. >> ok. we'll ask chris wallace that shortly. first your headlines. >> secretary of state hillary clinton announcing a landmark trip to burma next month, the first visit of its kind in more than 50 years and fox's ed henry sat down with secretary clinton and she said the time is now to spread democracy to the country. she also commented on the possibility of running for president. >> ed, that was a wonderful experience.

going to do? and one of my bridesmaids gave me a great big hug and she said it's going to be fine and we decided it was. >> and mike, what was your response? were you like let's do this anyway, honey? let's go? we've waited all this time. it's time to tie the knot? >> pretty much. i mean, we -- there was limited contact so we hadn't even been in contact with each other through the whole blaze on fire, the hour leaving between when it initially happened and when we planned on getting married, there was no contact. limited contact between the two of us. >> right. nancy, tell us what happened. so the blaze starts. you vanity been -- haven't been married yet, is that right? >> no, they came down to our cottage to let us know there was a fire in the basement. they weren't sure exactly the extent of what was going on but they hadn't entirely ruled out that we were going to be able to be married there. >> where did you guys get married? >> we got married at lakeside

hall. we were actually -- i was in a cottage to the left of the building and we were evacuated by police and when they picked us up, they said we're moving you to your secondary location. >> all right. so you get married. now, you have guests coming? do you actually get to sit down and break bread with guests? >> they moved the guests into the alternative locations, some of them did, you know, they wanted to stay out of the fire trucks so there were a few of them that ended up going home. the majority of them were still there for us. >> and mike, no question in your mind you were going through this no matter what. you weren't going to postpone this thing, right? >> not a chance. i mean, we haven't even been together a year since we met. we knew from our first date that we are right for each other, i proposed three months after i knew her. at white point, actually, so it has a lot in our hearts. so -- >> nancy, i got married and it was raining and my wife said don't worry, honey, that's good luck.

what's the common wisdom on fire on your wedding day? >> i don't know. i did the rain the first time so fire, we were going with, has to be really, really extra special good luck. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. fantastic. all right, guys, thank you so much, mike and nancy. >> thank you. >> all right. commit a crime in the united states, you go to jail. but if you're here illegally, you might get a second chance. judge alex ferrer is here with a fascinating perspective. he came to the united states from cuba, after all. on this date in 1626, st. peter's basilica was consecrated. in 1963, the first push button telephone goes into service and in 1962, lots of ones, nines and twos and sixes in this little read here, the four seasons had the number one song with "big girls don't cry."

>> 8 minutes before the top of the hour. the obama administration now reviewing the deportation cases of some 300,000 illegal immigrants. they say the goal is to lighten the load on immigration judges by speeding up the cases for convicted criminals and stopping the deportation of illegals without serious criminal records. >> that's right. they want to stop the deportation of those in the country illegally who have not committed a serious crime. joining us to talk about this is judge alex ferrer. he hosts judge alex and he came here from cuba legally as a small child. so you have an interesting perspective, judge. and you say you like this change in policy. why? >> i do. let me say contrary to a lot of stereotypes that you hear all the time in the media, being

hispanic does not mean you're in favor of illegal immigration. i'm completely against illegal immigration. in fact, being a police officer, a lawyer and a judge upheld the rule of law my whole life and i think that's the way you have to go. however, if you have limited resources and you've got to only deport the people you can pump through our court system which, as you know, are smashed with cases, then focusing on the serious criminals is the absolute way to go. the criminals and they shouldn't be here to begin with. in fact, you know, i do recognize that serious criminals could just be a code word for hey, these people aren't going to be able to vote for us anyway. let's get rid of them first. still, frankly, if we can get rid of our serious criminals who are home grown, i'd get rid of them, too. but you can't. >> it doesn't mean that you walk past people who are, you know, driving on sidewalks and breaking the street rules. do you think that -- or doing drugs, for example, that it's not as serious as bank robbery or murder. we don't walk past them. why is it ok to walk past illegals? >> i don't think it's ok to walk past illegals.

i'll tell you, this is a much tougher question when you personalize it. i was speaking at a middle school not too long ago. this 14-year-old girl came up to me and said i want to be a lawyer some day. i really admire you. do you think that they'll let me be a lawyer even though i'm not a u.s. citizen? i said you're going to be a u.s. citizen some day, right? she got really sad and she said i don't think so. and when you see this little girl and you go like, ok, she was brought here as a baby. it wasn't her choice. she didn't intentionally break the law. and she grew up with all these kids around her, they were running off to play together and someone is going to come and go come here, you're getting out of here. frankly, she's going to grow up to be a tax paying citizen. she wants to be a lawyer. there's a lot of criminals i'd rather get rid of than her. that's not the test here. if you're here illegally i don't think you get a pass. let's start with where we need to go and let's see if we can work something reasonable out for the others. first, you have to close the borders. you really have to seal them not just for safety because,

obviously, we have to have safety but we're never going to stop the tide. ever. >> what do you say to people that say this policy is basically giving illegal immigrants a pass because if you say we're not going to focus on the millions of people who are not dangerous criminals, well, then, i guess they get to stay. >> well, the answer to that is you wouldn't be able to do all of them anyway. if you're able to deport 100,000 people a year, i'd rather you deport the 100,000 career criminals and not, we'll leave some career criminals here and let's take that 14-year-old girl. in that step, i think it's a step in the right direction. >> love having you here. thanks so much. >> great to see you. >> you, too. >> meanwhile, a teacher caught on camera teasing a special needs student. but the teacher isn't the one getting the punish. judge jeanine is on the case next. >> another judge. >> good booking. >> three if you count napolitano. >> we don't count napolitano. >> that's true. are occupy protesters getting

yesterday. they wanted to shut down the stock market before the opening bell. they wanted to shut down the subway system. they stopped a group of grade school kids. they tried to, who were just trying to get to school. what do you make of the tactics being used now? >> i don't know how organized the violence is. i think it's very unfortunate. i think mayor bloomberg has it exactly right. a few of these protesters decided to act out and they are casting their movement in the worst possible light. i think it's an awful mistake. violence is never tolerated. i also think that you have to recall that just yesterday as this was all happening, was announced general electric's last tax return was 57,000 pages long and they ended up paying no taxes. general electric makes $14 billion in profit. eric, you appreciate profit, but they paid no taxes. so people who are complaining the system is rigged have a beef.

>> eric: i don't hear them calling out general electric or some of the other people. what is the point? let's be honest, what is the message? do you know what it is? >> yes, i do. >> eric: help me, i don't know. >> i wish i could articulate an agenda for these people because they are squandering an opportunity to make a point and the point is that the system as currently laid out is crony capitalism. you're talking about solyndra, you're talking about general electric. you're talking about people who aren't making money the old-fashioned way. but they're making money by rigging the system and that's what people are so upset about. they've got a beef. the generation has a beef. what has to happen is our system, the best system ever conceived has to be cleansed of the dishonesty that is now institutionalized in the system. >> eric: where is the dishonesty? >> how can a corporation who makes $14 billion in profits justify with a 57,000 page tax

return paying zero taxes? did you pay zero taxes? >> eric: absolutely not. >> did anyone. if they made $200,000 a month, did they? everybody pays taxes except those who don't. >> brian: i'm too busy. i don't really file. i want you to hear the businessmen who try to participate in this corrupt system who have a job and can't get to their job. here is what they did. >> peacefully stop every protest needs a little resistance. we work on wall street, we can not get to work because these people are here in our way. do you see what is going on. we have jobs. we're trying to stimulate the economy and we can not get to work because there is thousands -- we can't get through. >> you're on the other side! get out of here! >> brian: these people. >> very clever. they have exactly the same right as the occupy wall street people to protest. >> brian: do you think -- >> they are making a point. >> brian: do you think they

chased the occupiers' kids into their school? these people, the tactics they are using have turned america against them if they agreed with everything you're saying. >> i am not disagreeing with you. 244 were arrested. as long as they know that they have to now be punished. that's the essence of civil disobedience. since they crossed into violence, they lose the protection of the first amendment and be punished and hopefully they will be. and this movement has spread across the planet. you can not deny that there is something going on here, brian. and i think the moore we concentrate on the freaks that are acting out, there is a full generation here, disgruntled, disillusioned and frightened about their future. >> eric: you're acting like it's an isolated incident. it's two months now, 300 incidents of defacating on police cars, rapes,

molestations, meth being transferred and sold. it's not just an example here and there, a bad example here and there. >> i so totally disagree with you. that is absolutely hypers with bole. how many times did it happen? how many times did it happen with bowery bums, in the universe of crimes committed against the people of the united states, what these kids are doing is relatively minor. still i condemn the violence, particularly against officers. >> brian: stop. another topic. over 3,000 arrested, cost $12 million. let's talk about steven chiou. yesterday, the department of energy, he had to explain solyndra. let me see if you're buying it. >> who is to apologize for the half a billion dollars that has been out the door? >> well, it is extremely

unfortunate of what has happened to solyndra. but if you go back and look at the time decisions being made, was there incompetence? was there any undue influence of a political nature and i would have to say no. >> brian: the correspondent, they were saying they were concerned it was going to go belly up and delaying it until after election day, the massive layoffs, he says he didn't know anything. >> first of all, steven chiou, you have to -- a little background. he's a nobel prize winning physicist. he is an absolute knuckle head when it comes to being a politician. why didn't he say i'm sorry? of course he's sorry. i'm sorry. you're sorry. everyone is sorry. that's right, we lost a half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, we should all be sorry and he should have said so. he should have been -- but i think it's just tone deaf of all the guys they're trying to push around, you're pushing a guy who says e equals mc squared. also you had a solyndra was an

idea that had its moment and the chinese came. they flooded the market with these solar panels. >> eric: you can't defend it. >> i'm not defending it. who is defending it? you're picking on me! i came here, i didn't even have breakfast yet! >> eric: you know what that is, solyndra and all the loans going south? crony socialism. handing over taxpayer money, experimenting, rolling the dice. >> what is it when an investment bank makes their record profits and give these people 30, $40 million to walk away from their jobs, what is that? is that crony socialism or capitalism? >> eric: it matters. >> if you want a level playing field for people to have equal opportunity, then be on my side! everybody pays taxes. >> brian: i think both sides agree there has got to be tax reform. that's what i was hoping to get done with the super committee. but it's not going to happen.

at the very least, it will be delayed. >> there should be a minimum tax. everybody should pay. every corporation should pay. >> brian: i cannot wait to see your show. eric will not be on it. >> alisyn: we'll be watching it and give you some breakfast as well. i know where to find food. thanks so much. >> i saw the baked ziti. >> alisyn: how in the world was the accused shooter able to get so close to the white house? is the president being properly protected? peter johnson, jr. has an interesting angle on that story next. >> brian: and those cars aren't empty. customs agents are searching for bombs at the border, sleeping instead [ male annouer ] juice drink too watery?

>> eric: the man arrested for allegedly shooting at the white house now being charged with attempting to assassinate the president. he's just 21-years-old and if convicted, faces up to life in prison. fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins us. peter, off the top of my head, i'm trying to figure out why in the world this man had the opportunity to speak the way he did. he calls himself jesus and he wants to talk to oprah. >> i'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist, but based upon the reports we're seeing, he's demonstrating some strange behavior and obviously based on what we've heard, he seemed to be obsessed with the president. there is also one report that there are computer chips that he thought were being implanted in his head. he hated washington. he hated the president. he hated society as we know it. allegedly he took a shot with a

assault rifle about a half mile from the white house proper and apparently two bullets struck the white house. one striking an outside window, breaking it, and then being stopped by the bullet proof glass. so we've seen this type of activity before. obviously there is a tragic history of assassination and attempted assassination in this country. john hinckley who almost killed president reagan and still being held as a result of the fact he was acquitted by reason of insanity. so he's still being held in a mental hospital today. >> eric: i'm guessing these defense lawyers for this gentleman are going to say, well, the president wasn't in the white house and i think he was either in australia or indonesia. will that play a factor whether it's attempted murder or just an assault on the white house? >> no, i don't think so. i think -- they'll try that, but i think just the notion that an

attempt to assassinate the president carries a life sentence, that is something that we look upon with the greatest, greatest contempt in this country. the president of the united states is perhaps our greatest asset in this country. we protect him or her in the future with great, great, great efforts and he is held so dearly in that office, we need to do everything we can to protect him. why didn't they know sooner? why was he able to escape seven blocks and be found in another state? why wasn't there an apprehension right away? i'm sure the secret service is looking at that issue. this case will be prosecuted. whether or not he's acquitted by reason of insanity is another issue. but it will be prosecuted all the way through. >> eric: paying the price. peter johnson, jr., thank you for joining us. >> good to see you. >> eric: a teacher caught on camera tease ago special needs student.

why isn't the teacher the one getting punished? judge jeanine is on the case next. then herman cain asks for secret service protection. why he's beefing up his security so early in the campaign

three years from now, a 2011 ford fusion is projected to be worth more than a 2011 toyota camry. any thoughts on this news? are you sure? i'm absolutely positive. fusion is projected to hold its resale value better than camry.

>> eric: quick headlines. police in lafayette, indiana, cleared in the shooting death of a crazed suspect who attacked them with a knife. he stabbed one officer in the face before the man was gunned down. that officer doing okay now. the secret service now protecting herman cain after the

republican candidate for president received death threats. it's unusual for candidates to get secret service protection this early in the race, but mr. cain asked for it and congressional leaders approved it. ali? >> alisyn: you have to listen to this next horribly disturbing segment. new jersey special education teacher was caught on camera berating and belittling one of his students. let's listen. >> what were you trying to be cool? >> don't call me special. >> what's the definition of normal? >> i don't know. >> you want to be called normal but don't even know what it is. >> brian: actually the question made a lot of six. that teacher is currently on paid administrative leave until the school decides on his punishment. but what should that punishment be? joining us right now, someone who knows a lot about punishment and serving it up, justice with

judge jeanine. your take on this? this is relatively unique, correct? >> it is unique. what we're accustomed to is peer on peer bullying in schools. one kid bullying another, and when we think of emotional abuse, we think of it in a dysfunctional family home setting. now what we have is bullying by a teacher of students and cure russly, the united states, unlike most other countries, has not done any real in-depth studies on this issue. the power differential, the fear of retaliation is enormous. by the way, what we just saw in that tape is nothing compared to the rest of the tape. he literally goes up to him and almost wants to start fighting with him. but it's clear that school districts are going to be paying huge awards if, as the united states supreme court said in 1999 in a similar case of harassment, schools don't do something about it. we had this missouri case. >> alisyn: first let's talk about the back story here. that child taped that on his

cell phone. this special needs kid taped it after telling his parents, my teach service bullying me and saying unkind and not nice things to me. they said, why don't you tape it? so he did so and it did progress to where the teacher said, i'm going to kick your butt from here to kingdom come. why isn't he fired? >> first of all, i thought it was very interesting that they said, he's under disciplinary action and it's really a paid administrative leave. that's hogwash. if you're paid and not working, you're giving the guy a vacation. so they say, we're not going to tell you exactly what we did. this is what i know. this guy was a teacher for eight years. you mean to tell me that this is the first time this happened? when the principal was confronted with the video, the principal tried to explain it and then this guy says, i had a bad morning with my wife this morning. by the way, i would check on the wife. if this is how he treats the kid, how is the wife at home? >> brian: isn't that criminal behavior? >> it can be menacing and intimidation, it can be harassment, a violation. but then the question is whether

or not this is a guy who is going to follow through on it. schools, there is a little more leeway that's given to teachers. remember, it wasn't that long ago we had corporal punishment in school. >> alisyn: again, shouldn't he be fired? >> absolutely! >> alisyn: are teachers that protected that you can verbally harass a student and then not be fired? >> yes. i think the proof of the pudding is in the ohio case, which, are we going to talk about that? >> alisyn: go ahead. >> ohio case, you had a girl who ends up, her parents put a wire on her. the teacher says you're fat, you're ugly, you're lazy, you're on welfare. you're not going anywhere. so the parents end up suing. i mean, it was outrageous the degradation of these kids. the destruction of their emotional self-esteem and you know what they do with the one teacher? they say you have to take a course on bullying and recognizing child abuse. that's hogwash! if i need to educate a teacher on what child abuse is, that teacher doesn't deserve the title teacher. she should be fired! they should both be fired. there are too many people out of

jobs. >> brian: if it wasn't for the advent of cell phone video, we would never know. what the kid said was 15 or 16 and what the teacher believes. of course, everyone would believe a teacher. >> even the parent said i figured the kid was exaggerated but armed him with a cell phone camera. taxpayers, you're going to pay this money because what you need to do is you need to go into the schools if you have a special ed kid, drop in unannounced and you have to make sure that you're school has a policy and that there is some regress for people according to the supreme court, that the school boards have to have. >> alisyn: great stuff. we will be watching your show this weekend. "justice," 9:00 p.m. saturday. we'll see you tomorrow as well, i hope, in the morning. >> brian: you two obviously have something going on. >> alisyn: we do. >> brian: i feel like a third wheel. see these custom agents? check them out. they are sleeping. great. i'm sure no one is sneaking in while they're sleeping. the inside story of what happens to them when they fall asleep at

the border. >> alisyn: then there is word that the super committee is on the brink of collapse. will president obama step up and save the day or let the group fail? chris wallace is live from dc with all this next.

>> new study for that overweight men are more likely to have children with weight problems. or in other words, if you get your dad's jean, you're also going to get his sweat pants. >> alisyn: hi, chris. on that note, let's bring in chris wallace, it makes a perfect segway, doesn't it? >> really? >> alisyn: chris, great to see you. let's talk your wheel house politics. newt gingrich now has a double digit lead in iowa. could anybody have projected this trajectory of his? >> no. i think if you say you could, you're lying. but here is what i would say, the dynamic of this race, the

narrative of this race has been that mitt romney is pretty steady at about 20%. you see there 19. up to 25% in the national polls. and then there is somebody who rises and then falls as the alternative, where it was donald trump. it was michelle bachman. it was rick perry. it was herman cain. now it's newt gingrich. we'll see whether he's able to last where the others didn't. i will say with the increased standing in the polls, there also comes increased scrutiny. we have the story this week about the fact that he was paid over a million and a half dollars by freddie mac. not quite clear what he was paid all that money for. and there is a new story in the "washington post" today that over the last eight years, his various companies got $37 million from health care providers and from health insurance companies at a time when he was supporting the individual mandate which he now opposes. he's going to have some explaining to do. there is nobody better at explaining than newt gingrich. eye he'll have explaining to do.

>> eric: the super committee, all eyes on the super committee. if they come out and say we need to raise taxes and the gop says we have to do something, whatever it may be, is there a chance for a michelle bachman or rick santorum who are vehemently against any sort of raising taxes, can they make a move back up? >> anybody can. we've still got -- it's less than two months. it's 50 or 45 days or something 'til iowa. but they've kind of had their turn and it seems that -- remember, newt gingrich has been totally against the super committee and so has mitt romney. so i'm not sure there is a difference there where they would be on one side of the issue and the others would be on the other. but we'll be talking about the super committee because as you well know, on sunday it will be three days and counting 'til this november 23 deadline. they've had three months. at this point, i think if you were going to go to las vegas, you would bet against their making a deal, which is pretty extraordinary. same differences, republicans

want overwhelmingly spending cuts. a few are agreeing to some revenue increases. democrats say it's not enough in terms of revenue increases, especially on the wealthy. so it's the same dividing lines. real possibility that they're going to break down and set up the automatic triggers in which case i think you'd see a very negative reaction for the markets and possibly a further downgrading of our credit. so it's a big deal. we'll have two key members, the republican chairman, hensarling and basara talking about the super committee and what will happen with it. >> brian: we have a $15 trillion deficit and we can't agree to cut $1.2 million in ten years. john kerry came out looking exhausted, according to our reporter, and saying he was going to keep talking until the last dog dies. that's really -- they got to work through the weekend and by wednesday, the dog will be dead. >> listen, my yellow lab may be listening, please don't say that. >> brian: i'm just saying, i'm

building on that. >> apologize to winston. >> brian: can i have my camera? >> look straight into it, 'cause winston likes to watch you. >> brian: winston, a little while ago i was expanding on what john kerry was saying and at that time i called for a dog to die. it was just something to just grill home my point. i want you to live. >> alisyn: wow. poignant. does anyone have a tissue? >> no, i think winston was satisfied with that. >> brian: thank you very much. >> i'm not sure about the millions of people watching, but winston was quite pleased. >> alisyn: okay, chris. thank you. we'll be watching this weekend. let's get to your headlines. that was touching. more than two years after an arizona sweat lodge ceremony turned deadly, the self-help author convicted in the tragically will learn his fate. he faces up to nine years in prison when he's sentenced today. he was found guilty of negligent homicide after three people died from heat stroke. a tragic story out of florida.

a teacher and devoted family man died after a nurse accidentally gave him a drug used for lethal injections. this happened last year at north shore medical center in miami. months later, 79-year-old richard smith's family is now suing. they say the hospital admits that the nurse gave smith the lethal drug after mistaking it for antacid. the hospital has apologized for the deadly mix-up, but the nurse is still on the job. first it was air traffic control workers and now customs agents reportedly sleeping on the job. the local fox affiliate in philadelphia investigating reports that customs agents were parking their officially marked cars for nearly an hour at a time and dozing off in a back lot. other airport employees say they've seen this with their own eyes and it's been going on for months. the department of homeland security reportedly refusing to comment. this is a crazy story. these girls were just inches away from being crushed to death. three middle school students

making a frantic 911 call after getting trapped in an elevator shaft. >> we're trapped in an elevator! >> alisyn: that dramatic scene unfolding in middle school in oklahoma city. the girls were 12 and 13 years old. they had wandered into the shaft during their lunch break because they were curious. that's when the doors locked behind them and the elevator started falling on them. they reportedly used their feet to hold the elevator up until paramedicos rescued them 40 minutes later. they had really strong boots on and the boots kept the elevator from squashing them. what an incredible story. >> brian: any of it true? >> alisyn: i believe it all is. >> brian: all right. >> alisyn: that scream sounded authentic. >> brian: all right. listen, we have a lot more show. you'll find out what the marines

are doing again to keep kids happy this christmas. first this. >> eric: the new high resolution video from the days president kennedy was killed. first, here is clayton with what's coming up this weekend. >> hey, guys. we'll have alisyn and somebody else this weekend, i think. you guys played the video earlier on the show, the so-called patriotic millionaires who said they supported higher taxes. but when offered the opportunity to pay up, they certainly have a change of heart. >> citizenship. meanwhile, the president had been rushed to a nearby hospital where life lingered as a waiting world waits. >> eric: we'll try to explain that. maybe the voice is in my head. >> alisyn: we'll be together this weekend. >> thank goodness. bank of america had a change of heart. decided not to charge customers that five bucks for using debit cards. don't worry, big banks are finding other ways to nickel and dime you.

lost bullet." historian mac holland led the team that applied digital technology to a number of home movies taken on november 22, 1963, including the famous zapruder film. he told fox news this marks the first time that's amateur films, some of which have not been seen in years, have been brought together, digitally enhanced and presented in a coherent way. >> the main thrust is break the strangle hold that the zapruder film has on the sense of what happened. since we've all been gray pruder, it's so graphic and mesmerizing, it became more of our perspective on the assassination than even the perspective of the assassin, which should never have happened. >> another startling claim of the team is that the new digital upgrades allow us to see in the amateur footage taken that day by robert hughes, a custom agent who was stationed at the southeast corner of dealy plaza, a shadowy figure moving about

inside the sixth floor of the texas school book depository department. a figure believed to be oswald. >> our conclusion is he fired three shots in 11 seconds, which is almost double, you know, the six seconds in dallas thing that most people know had they think about the assassination. six seconds, three shots in six seconds. we say three shots in 11 seconds, which is a much easier for someone of oswald's skill effortless task. >> when asked if there are any holy grails of jfk assassination research still out there, pieces of evidence known by researchers to exist but which have not yet seen the light of day, holland cited lee harvey oswald's tax returns, which have never been released. it is easier to pry documents out of c.i.a. than from the irs, he says. jfk, the lost bullet airs on the net geo channel november 20 at 9 eastern. check your local listings.
