looking out for you. hello, everybody, it is saturday, december 10th. ready for a face off? romney on the attack against newt gingrich ahead of tonight's big debate, will gingrich come back swinging or keep his cool? >>dave: president obama says we need to be in it for the long haul to fix the economy. >> more than one term, probably tailings more than one president. >> yikes. but he overpromise americans when elected? >> is the skyscraper mocking 9/11 attacks? that is an artist rendering of a new building being designed.

"fox & friends" begins right now. >> it's "fox & friends" and hello, everyone. >> hola. i have a little cold, i apologize. it is the fox flu. >>dave: so, i am toast. thanks i just got over mine. and we have a special guest in the studio. who is yet unnamed. we have our own little elf on a shelf who just joined us on this saturday a couple of weeks now from christmas. what the second highest selling book right now, and elf on a shelf is hugely popular and it watches the kids and reports to santa. elf on the shelf is hidden. he will monitor us the next month to make sure we are good.

>> they move when you leap and they go to houses allest world including television studios to watch out to see who is naughty and who is nice. >> we have to name this elf on the shelf because it is up to the children to name the elf so we want your submission on twitter and e-mail us. and o'reilly, i will low on the name duncan. >> as in dunkin' donuts. >> we will check back with the elf later. >> and now headlines, new details of the gunman who killed a police officer and killed himself at virginia tech this week. we know the 22-year-old was a part time business student in virginia at another university who stole a car the night before the shooting.

his motive is unclear. police say he did not know the officer he gunned down. the 39-year-old officer was an army veteran and a married father of five. last night, students honored him with a candlelight vigil at the same memorial dedicated to the victims of the 2007 massacre at virginia tech. that left 33 people dead. >> you are taking a like look, now, at what is believed the biggest protests in russian's history. 30,000 people are expected to rally against what they believe was a rigged election. we have been hearing about this in the election. they are a direct challenge to putin, and protests have sparked up all across russia after she barely held on a parliamentary majority in the public voting last week. we will keep an eye on that. the f.b.i. is trying to find out would tried to mail ten suspicious envelopes to the

white house. a man dropped off the envelope to this fedex store in new jersey and the clerks thought they looked suspicious and they had x-rays and found hand written letters with no explosives and the suspect's face was seen on surveillance video and police now are trying to identify them. >> republican hopeful rick perry with a few more oops moments, if an interview the g.o.p. candidate could not remember how to announce the same of justice sotomayor. >> what you see, when you see the appointment from my perspective inarguably, activist judges, whether it was ... whether it was ... sotomayor, i trust that the people of the

state to make those decisions, i trust those independent school districts to make the decisions better than eight unelected and frankly unaccountable judges. >> eight? oops. of course there are a -- imagine if there was an even number of the supreme court justices nothing would get there that is why there is an odd number. >>dave: it was not his finest day. >> it will be a fine day for us in the studio and new york city and across the country. rick: a good weekend for everyone in the country. that does not happen often but this is looking good with dry conditions, and cooler in spots and lake effect snows kick in today. tomorrow it improves but we have a few scattered shower along the southeast florida coast and into texas. as you wake up it is cold toward the north at seven degrees in minneapolis so there is cold air out there. and cold front moving across the east but most of the showers

offshore and across rhode island and cape cod and the lakes, bringing the winds over that and the colder air bringing the snow. but across the coastal areas we will see showers for the morning and the front will drift toward the east so we will see more showers around florida and the tail end of this around they next but anything to the north of that is looking absolutely beautiful today. no real problems. the high temperatures, 20's around the great lakes and 50's in texas and 70's around florida and tomorrow looking like the same. a repeat of this but cool. and dry in general. >>clayton: and now politics because tonight, this could be, perhaps, the biggest debate so for in the g.o.p. primary. because it is taking place in des moines. it is cohosted by abc and the des moines register but all eyes on what happens. hintsman is not part of it, because he is not polling enough to be invited but all eyes are on romney and gingrich.

>> he is second not polls now, and gingrich is first, obviously, and he is the top of the bull's eye or the center of the bull's eye. the center. so, romney -- okay, i corrected myself. >>dave: all eyes will be on newt. will they gang up on gingrich? that is the big question because you look back a couple of months and it was not necessarily a gangup on romney. we always waited for it and we waited for the candidates to attack him but it never really played out with the exception of the health care criticism on romney. it look like the attacks will come out and we are less than a month down from iowa and romney has no choice but to start showing a difference between he and newt. >> we will show you the ads in a moment. romney was asked about this and he hints a battle brewing in his own calm way. >> they will say whatever they

will, and heaven knows i cannot write a script for all the people that support me and i expect we will have differences and we can discuss those, as well. >> but there is quite a bit of criticism from the romney camp on friday, releasing a series of criticism cruzing one from a representative from new york saying gingrich has had visions of grandiose and from senator burr saying he has the attention span of a one-year-old, and, then, this advertisement that was rolled out. take a look. >> he dismissed the medicare reform plan put forward by congressman ryan and called it "radical," as harsh a citizen you could level at a fellow republican. >> a character problem. >> he does not have the discipline you want. >> he is out, basically, he is out in the left wing of the republican party.

>> ouch. >> ouch. >> would needs the left? the risk is for romney in highlighting gingrich's opposition to the paul ryan plan, it could hurt romney if he gets the nomination in the general because a lot of the independents probably don't like paul ryan's plan when it comes to medicare. >> and there is an evangelical committee calling gingrich the kim kardashian of the g.o.p. and the walking definition of "untrustworthy." >>clayton: and frank frank lundz said the negative ads could come back to hurt romney but they always seem to work. >>dave: if you have something that sticks but people do not want to see it turn negative but

it looks like it will. the president gives an interview for "60 minutes," tomorrow and he says things you may disagree with on the economy. >> reversing structural problems in our economy that have been building up for two decades will take time. it will take more than a year or two years it will take more than one term. probably takes more than one president. >> a poll that just came out 94 percent say the economy is if bad shape and interesting number because back in 2008 when the wall street collapse was happening, the poll number was 65 percent saying the economy was in poor shape so more people now saying the economy is in terrible shape than during the height of the collapse. >>clayton: and he was asked about the drop in the unemployment number and president obama thinks he gets a pass because he was handed a poor deck of cards and you may have heard this before. take a listen. >> the reason they support me is

they understand what an incredible mess was made as i was coming into office, and we have been spending three years cleaning it up. the good news is that the economy is starting to strengthen. we have seen some positive signs. and the unemployment rate has ticked down. >>dave: but the reason the unemployment ticked down is 300,000 people left the workforce. if that continues to happen, and the unemployment rate ticks down and we are just looking at fewer jobs that is not something he sells but this is a different rhetoric than we heard in 2008. the man who did certainly make a lot of promises when it came to the economy, when it comes to what the stimulus would do and now a dramatic change in tone. >> when you kind of compare what the pundits are saying now opposed to early on in the obama term, the understanding is we are getting a sense that the

first couple of years of the administration, blame the previous administration. but, now, listen to charles krauthammer on this. >> he was saying as we saw right there, that the reason the squeeze is on the middle class and the reason we have a bad economy and the reason america is in the malaise and has a sense of decline is because of the malic empty -- malice of the very rich. he does not have to speak about the policies which have not succeeded. >>clayton: we will have much more of this and talk to peter about other issues in the economy and get a take on what the president said as it hairs tomorrow night on "60 minutes."

>> welcome back we are waiting for things on our elf on the shelf. >>dave: it will not be newt. >> republican presidential hopeful gingrich has been surging in the polls as you know and he seems to have a strong tea party support. a poll as you can see shows 82 percent of tea party voters choose gingrich over romney, and michele bachmann as the nominee. >> a new op-ed says a gingrich candidacy would doom the tea party. joining us now is the national coordinator and co-founder of tea party patriots.

>> good morning, thanks for having me. >>dave: let me read this: tea party pledge if they had their way the g.o.p. would never again have as champion a federal government enlarging entitleme expanding and at the urging bush style republican to do just four years on would be a significant failure. i could go on and on because rand paul wrote that gingrich would essentially represent a failure of the tea party. would gingrich or romney represent a move backward or a fair for the tea party? >>guest: well, the one thing that tea party has been in favor of the entire tomorrow is, three things, fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free market. as we evolve we realized how much of the ruling elite caused problems, so, right now, there is --. >>dave: is gingrich part of that problem or was he in line

with your principles? >>guest: well, in the past he has been part of the problem and he was in line with what president obama, a lot of the polls we have trouble with that president obama was in favor of. on the other side he is saying that he will return fiscal responsibility to our government and he is the only one who is running who actually has a track record of balancing the federal budget. >> we had dick morris on the set the other day and he said with regard to gingrich that he has over the years, he has left and then he came back a different man, a changed man. matured or seasoned. but that gingrich that he is today is a guy that could be representative of the tea party. do you agree that or not? >>guest: well, i think if he gets elected we will see whether he actually follows through on what he says. but no vote has been catch so i think it is too early to say who

the tea party nominee is. >>dave: it is interesting you have front runners that supported the bailout, that have supported the universal mandate in health care. and now, your take on something hank johnson, a democrat from georgia, a congress ma, is saying about "past and furious," i think this is a manufactured controversy by the nra tea party movement. >>guest: that is ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous to think that ordinary citizens have any influence on shipping guns through the atm to drug cartels. it is crazy. and, it is not something we ever would have thought of or concerned about fiscal responsibility. >> there has been criticism of the tea party, a waiting movement, you probably disagree

with that. do you? >>guest: i disagree. i have been all over the country the last six weeks i have been to 15 different states, and the movement is growing, it is growing tremendously in the past year we have been focusing on education and preparing for next year, and learning more about the political system. >> what do you think the biggest accomplishment of the tea party has been over three years? >>guest: the biggest accomplishment we have woken up so many americans and we are changing the dialogue in washington, dc. the next biggest accomplishment will be to actually get cuts in spending. we have not done that yet but we are working on it. >>dave: you have changed the conversation in washington. and now thank you for being here, jenny beth martin. >> hear from the man who wrote about the 1944 army-navy football team and became an important part of history. were you around for that? >>dave: an amazing historic game and pumped up for pensions

is

>>clayton: cash-strapped states extending special retirement benefits that were only for policemen and firefighters, costing states like florida and maryland which are on the hook for $70 billion in additional money, up to $15 million to $30 million a year a tick, time bomb. and now an economist and business professor at the university of maryland. nice to see you, peter. what do you make of the numbers? some states adding road construction and dispatchers and

highway laborers and museum and lifeguards. >>guest: it illustrates what happens when the unions are permitted to be so involved in state politics. they see that they are represented on both sides of the table. the union on one side and a union picked governor or legislator on the other. >>clayton: a forrester in california and retire at 50 with an annual pension of $64,000 and by 80 of $1.9 million. what do you make of that? >>guest: that is why we have a family. you go to the state capital and the most significant lobbyists are the unions that represent municipal and state employees, and they are totally dedicated to mining your pockets and putting in people's hands money to retire at the age of 50 or 55, it is ridiculous when private sector employees do not

have benefit defined pensions. >>clayton: a wildlife officer can retire at 52 after 25 years on the job and pension is $49,000. retired at age of 50 with a total pension by 80 of $1.4 million! >>guest: this is terrible. at the age of 50 your life expectancy is probably another 35 years how can you put aside enough money for someone who works 25 years to be retired for another 30 or 35 years. it is ridiculous. >>clayton: what states are to blame for this? it is not blue states. or liberal states. louisiana is a big offender. florida. maryland. what is going on? >>guest: maryland is a blue state. essentially, what you have to have is a well organized labor movement and solid representation for municipal workers and these are states where they can be very

politically active. the state where i live, virginia, does not have quite the kind the problems because public sector unions are limited in scope. so, that is the difference. you have to put limits on public sector unions because you basically have a monopoly employer. >> this looks like the old sally struthers commercials, get a degree for gun repair with the crazy pensions. unbelievable. >>guest: absolutely. the thing is, if general motors charges you too much for a car or gives you a shabby car you can go to toyota. if the state governments gives you lousy service which it often does you have nowhere to go so the governor can give the employees whatever it takes to buy their allegiance in the next election and give folks poor service. >>clayton: unbelievable. peter, thank you, great to see

you. we will try to work sally struthers into the show later. the architects behind thissing say they do not see the resemblance to the terrorist attacks on the world trade center. reallyst a lot of people say it is offensive. we report. you decide.

ground. the beautiful sounds of the children playing, you start to get used to it, don't you? >>clayton: to be fair you know what you are getting into when you move next to a playground you may not know that this gentleman is that guy. he is defending the light display. >> i love kids. i love doing things for people. i used to design large systems, so it is what i do best. >> the grinches out there you say? >> get a life. >> we will talk to the city tone later from boca raton and they have a war on christmas, taking all the holiday lights and the holiday displays out of the public buildings. >>dave: i think they can work something out toning down the music at 8:00 or 9:00. >> and the angry neighbors yell and put up a barrier so you cannot move the car and people are getting too angry so find a

are not being built that way this is a design they submitted to the project, so, you can only hope it does not go through. what do you think about it? you can weigh in on that. >>dave: and the retired firefighter says it is a total lie and they have no respect for those that died. he lost his son on 9/11. let us know how you feel about the design. >> a country divided by war was united by football, hear from a man who wrote about the most important game in college football history army-navy, 1944. spirit airlines taking a shot at former illinois governor blagojevich.

in 1940 army was a dreadful football team. they only won one game. and that year they got a new superintendent, a guy by the name of robert, and he said, you know, there is a war coming, and the united states army cannot be represented on a football field by a dreadful team. therefore, what we need to do is to prove -- improved it so he hired a professional coach, red blake, and it was his job to town the dreadful team into a national champion and by 1944, december 2nd, 1944, army, west point, is poised to win that national championship. >>dave: it is the amazing, today the 1112th army-navy game, but back then it was not about the s.e.c. or the heisman trophy or money, why was this game so important for the

country? >>guest: well, you have to remember, this story takes place between d-day and the battle of the bulge. never were the 12 million americans in uniform more front and center in american's mines and the football team, the team from army and navy, represent the their branches, their services. and when they met in 1944, army will go into the game ranked number one in the nation. navy will go in ranked number two in the nation. so, we're talking about two really good football teams. >>dave: in your words, describe the situation, football is the last chance for the boys to be boys before they were called on to be men. and a tell greater after this game might tell you the importance of how crucial this game was. tell us about telegraph sent from the military after the game. >>guest: the day after the

game red blake receive add telegram and it said in essence, congratulations on your marvelous victory. we have stopped the war to celebrate this magnificent victory and it was signed mcarthur sent from the philippines where mcarthur was commanding men forces. >>dave: stopped world war ii to celebrate a football game. how does that resonate on the day they meet not midst of the bcs, all about millions if not billions of dollars. >>guest: remember, today as well as 1944, the members of army and navy's team are playing for their friends, they are playing for their teammates, they are laying for their school, they are playing for army or navy. they are playing for their country. they are not playing for millions of dollars. those guys are not going to sign the big pro contract.

creation act of 2011 that would extend the payroll tax cut and extend unemployment benefits and support the keystone xl pipeline construction sooner rather than later something the president would refer not to deal with this year. >> we have her president obama say the american people cannot wait to take action on jobs. well, the keystone energy project has been the very definition of an idea the american people cannot wait for washington to take action. and the prime minister of canada has warned that if the united states doesn't approve this project, canada will be forced to move forward with other customers potentially china. >> senate majority leader, democrat harry reid, says the pipeline provision is unrelated to all of this and the house's bill supporting it will not pass the senate. we will find out if that is the case this week. down pennsylvania avenue at the white house the president says if republicans don't come up with a way for this payroll tax

>>clayton: and our elf on the shelf choking on us through the rest of the season here until christmas with santa putting the elves out there around the country. so we have to make sure we are not naughty. so, we want you to make the elf on fox&friends.com at e-mail. >> roger. romeo. peewee. clayton. >> does look like clayton. all the elf looks like me? >> side-by-side comparison. but you cannot touch the elf or it ruins the magic. >> looks like angry birds. >>clayton: like woody from "toy story." >> we will start with protests in boston after a police raid against occupy protests at the square. police entered the downtown area

at 5:00 a.m., today and ordered protests to leave, and 40 people were reportedly taken away if handcuffs, and it took police an hour to get rid of the occupier whose have been camped out for ten weeks and there are no reports of injuries or scuffles with police. >> in russia, the biggest protests in russia's history. 15,000 people packed their way into a local square to rally against what they believe was a rigged election. russian police are so far allowing protests to happen and the demonstrations are a direct challenge to prime minister putin. protests have sparked across russia after putin's united russia party barely held on to a parliamentary majority in last week's public vote. >> country music star mccready speaking out for the first time since being accused of abducting her son and fleeing with him to arkansas. >> i do not to this moment and will not ever thing that me taking my own child that i carried for nine months, that i

gave birth to in the hospital by myself, would ever be breaking the law. and what i did was to protect my child. and there is not a person not world that ever will tell me that is wrong. >> her child, named zander, she said she was trying to protect from her mother who is the legal goodian. but mindy says the mother abused him and forced him to perform strange religious rituals. she could regain custody and will be back in court next week. soldiers' girlfriend in for a surprise at the miami international airport. her boyfriend arrived back home from afghanistan with a question. >> will you marry me?

>> she said "yes," thank goodness, and michael smith says the couple will spend time in florida sharing the good news with the family. congratulations. we love those happy stories. you need that slight delay, though, don't you? >> pregnant pause. >> it is a big moment. half beat, you want to make sure it is "yes." rick: he has to know if it goes the other way, he can pull it off. cool across the northern plains with temperatures but mostly everyone is having a calm day. across parts of texas the temperatures are around 10 or 15 degrees below where you would be this time of year and not north, around 10 or 15 degrees above where you should be, so you average out and everyone is hanging out in the 40's and the 50's next couple of days, so it is looking good, and the eastern part of the country, a cold front is moving through with showers and cloud cover across the coast and that is almost gone with lake effect snow

across cleveland and buffalo and maybe around the flat hills and watertown but that will be today and tomorrow, it dies down quite a bit with rain showers down across the southern edge of the country, and south texas and florida and everyone else we will see a lot of sunshine, so good looking for almost everyone but the temperatures are remaining cooler, also, into the 40's and 50's, and in the 40's in texas, and the northern plains. so, even conditions, tomorrow, no big change in that, either, with changes by monday, and a new storm pulls into the south with rain back to california and rain moving into arizona and snow in the higher elevations. >> thank you, rick. a cold one out there tonight in iowa as the candidates gear up for, perhaps, one of the biggest debates out there, this des moines. six of the candidates will be there, huntsman will not, and herman cain dropped out last weekend.

>> and gingrich is going in not the underdog, he is kind the guy. >>dave: we have asked if everyone will gang up on the front runner? we asked that when it was romney, when it was rick perry, and when it was michele bachmann. do the candidates have any other choice but to go after and attack the former speaker? >> that has been the credit civil leveled at romney. he has been too quiet and only focused on president obama. but as he slips, people are saying you have to go after gingrich. asked that question yesterday about this he had this response. >> a lot of people that worked with speaker gingrich will say what they will, and i cannot write a script for all the people that support me. i expect that gingrich and i will have differences and we can discuss those, as anything. >>dave: it is interesting because congressman after congressman and senators have lined up and said all sorts of

horrible things about the former speaker, people would worked with him in the 1990's but it seems to be helping, and it seems to be the mentality that when the voters hear that the establishment doesn't like newt it seems to help. >> and he has done well in the debates and that surged him to the top. >> and running as an outsider, does it wash? the former speaker of the house of representatives in a way, running as an outsider, so, maybe, that dislike or that time there, or that left a sour tape in some representatives' mouth. >> i will quote dick morris who says he has come back a different person. >>clayton: that is the question has he? let us know what you thing. this is the yes, and people are still waiting not wings, whether it is dick armey, when he gives his endorsement, he has been quiet, guy whose have served with him when they comment about him, it will be interesting, romney rolling out an ad about

his stance, gingrich, on the paul ryan fiscal policy that was rolled out early this year which a number of member of the house of representatives supported. take a listen. >> gingrich dismissed the reform land put forth by paul ryan, calling it radical. >> not only to repudiate it. >> he does not have the discipline you want in a president. >> basically he is out in the left wing of the republican party. >> with enemies like that ... >> what we did not see is the original words from gingrich when he called the plan right wing social engineering and that is the point, does that help romney showing that difference? some of the, if, in, general, that could hurt, it could hurt romney because some independents don't like the land. >> there is a political action

committee releasedded a satire calling gingrich the walking, talking definition of untrustworthy, so if the candidates are anything, ecoing these sentiments it will be ugly. ugly. >>clayton: gingrich is shining right now. president obama in yet another interview with "60 minutes," talks about the economy when he is asked if he underestimated the fixing of the economy and how long it would take. he said it could take more than one president to fix this thing. >> reversing structural robs in our economy that have been building up for two decades, that will take time. it will take more than a year. it will take more than two years, it will take more than one term. probably take more than one president. >> we remember the quote from a financial advisor who probably regrets saying it but if we pass

this stimulus, that we will keep unemployment below 8 percent, and it will not go above 8 percent and we know where it is now. >>dave: and it is difficult when he says he did not overpromise, that was the administration's stance pass the stimulus and unemployment will not go that high. the last line, though, could take more than one president, do you think that will be a campaign ad for someone saying, yes, that second president is going to come now. so that is my prediction, but our guest weighed in on the sentiment that the president says he did not overpromise on the economy. >> the president absolutely overpromised and he is engaging in revisionist history and he wants to runaway from his record and i don't blame him f i had his record i would want to blame the past. he bows to political pressure from the left and does not do what he promised. >>clayton: and a couple new polls, 51 percent overall now

disapprove of president obama's job performance, and that is the highest disapproval we have seen for president obama right now. >> and the number of independents, really, way up since 2009 as you can see, and cbs poll, does obama deserve to be re-elected? 41 percent say yes and the majority, 54 percent say no, also from the poll, obama does get good marks for handling trim at 57 percent of those approving. >>dave: but the independents leaving the president, and you wonder, if newt gets the nomination, can he get those folks so people rink romney is more electable because he has a better chance of getting the independent vote. >> more ahead.

>>clayton: as gingrich surges, romney taking off the gloves. look at this new ad. >> the speaker dismissed the medicare reform plan of paul ryan. called it radical. >> as harsh a criticism as one could level at a fellow republican. >> but to repudiate it. >> a character problem. >> he does not have the discipline you want in a president. >> he is out in the left wing of the republican party. >> with enemies like that, would need as win? >> and our political consultant and senior counsel for donald trump, and a liberal political humorist, also, here, and

heather. tonight, big debate out there in iowa, and we are seeing the attack ads for romney, the state is being blanketed with romney ads. mike, you do not thing it will be as easy for mitt to go after newt. why? >>guest: because mitt is a very nice guy. he is very middle of the road. newt is a tough guy as former speaker, he knows how to get in on a battle but it is not romney. he is just a nice guy. what will happen is he will go with it, he will be mitt and he should be mitt. that is the whole thing. that got him to where he is right now. >>clayton: can gingrich fire back on what is mitt? we saw attacks of gingrich pointing out inconsistencies on a number of issues and they both have baggage. >>guest: they both are not the me not candidate for the party. that is the problem. i don't know, necessity both

either you are freaked out about minimum being a mormon, and that has gotten the worse press in the last five years between the tv shows and the hottest play, so, if people are not familiar with that, it freaks them out, and that is not really fair. and, with newt, he has a very inappropriate past that not everyone is aware of. people my age and younger but they will know. >>clayton: will they get help from the ads? they blanketing the state showing him being married for 42 years and going after gingrich on his past, his inconsistency and time as speaker. what do you make of that? >>guest: i am of two minds. gingrich may not respond because gingrich, that would take time away from his talking about himself can he loves to do. on the other hand, gingrich, many people say, started this harsh partisan tone in washington in 1994 so he knows how to slash and bun but he will do it in a haughty way that

makes it seem like she above the fray although he is getting down and dirty. >>clayton: michael, is mitt trying to, is he making the same mistake that pawlenty made? being something he is not? >>guest: mr. frump would not accept the things that mitt accepts, he could take a playbook out of trump's playbook you have to be attack and be hard-lined. politics is rough game. and just to comment on whether it is mormon or his previous problems, gingrich, it doesn't matter. religion. right now we have a bigger problem, the economy, our unsustainable debt, i don't think people care about religion and newt has come out, and talked about how in his past it was a different person.

he is i think very calm and i agree he will be very calm tonight and i don't thing he will go wrong. >>guest: so far i found him to be classy to each others so, maybe to get out ahead they will have to do some jabs. >>guest: romney's biggest opponent is not going rich it is mitt romney. the question is, who is romney? he has flipped from who he was when he was governor. >>clayton: which candidate will show us? we have seen different shades of all the candidates. >> next we will talk donald trump and the impact on the going field.

>> 23 minutes after the hour. $700 million is how much congress is slashing from the defense spending bill after the earmark were identified, unrelated to defense. >> next, $40 million is how much damage was caused by an intense wind storm that slammed the west coast last week. and just in southern california. no word on total damage. >> finally, 50 percent is how much more money is spent on holiday gifts for women than on men! outrageous! >> the only true republican

candidate would agree to show up to trump's debate, even santorum is backing out. >>clayton: there will only be two republican candidates at the trump debate so should he hold the debate. and will he run as an independent? and michael cohen, a political counsel for trump. what do you make of the candidates not showing up? >> first, it is not a donald trump debate but a news max debate and trump is acting as the moderator, a big misconception. >>clayton: in fairness he said because he is tied to this, he would get the largest rating because he is tied to and many believe it is a donald trump

debate. >>guest: it is not, it is a debate moderated by donald trump no different from a fox news debate moderated by neil cavuto. he is not coming up with the questions. he is not going to be hitting anybody harder than anyone else. the whole thing is nonsense. they have used adjectives like disloyal and coward as to those who decided not to come to the debate, those who are looking for his endorsement. >>clayton: would people take him seriously or run as an independent? >>guest: i don't think anyone will take him seriously. he is great businessman and i enjoy the show and would love to be on it, one day, but, you know, what would he, he can take housewife from all different parts of america and bring them together and have them do an amazing product? that is "celebrity apprentice," and he is associated with that

so it is sad, like a sad christmas party that no one wants to go to. and you don't want to stop by with the sad pretzels in a bowl. >> i don't think he minds only two showing up because he can talk more and i agree, he is a great showman but i don't thing we should take him seriously politically, because this would be a political version of "celebrity apprentice." >> but that is not the way the debate is going to be moderated. first of all, it is absolutely inaccurate that he is not a potential candidate. i started a site and we have over three million people we coming in, over whether he should run. let me tell you, the reason everyone comes up to trump tower to talk to donald trump is because, yes, he is a media magnet and he can get the press but more than that, he has millions and millions of people

that want to see him run. that's the thing. >>clayton: but the problem is all people lining up behind him he has not turned down the idea of running as an independent so if he is going to run as an independent, how can he, then, it is there and moderate a debate with candidates he is opposing? >> he would split some of the vote. >>clayton: that is the question from candidate whose dropped out. >> and moderator is not a hat that he wears or that comes to mind. the truth is if trump runs as independent, that would pave the way for president obama to be re-elected or donald trump would win. so it is either donald trump wins or the president wins the election but i agree the republican cannot we win if donald trump enters the race. >> he will politically perot -- he will split it just like

perot. >>clayton: coming up, was the ft. hood terrorist attack another case of violence in the work place? more on that ahead. ♪ [ male announcer ] when a moment suddenly turns romantic, men with erectile dysfunction can be more confident in their ability to be ready with cialis for daily use.

>>juliet: put away the christmas tree and menorah if you live in boca. >>clayton: the difficult is caving to pressure over the threat of lawsuits. >> extremists on either side are so extreme they cannot just allow government to do what the supreme court suggests that government should do. >>dave: she lives in boca, our guest, and what is happening? why the ban? >>guest: from what i understand the mayor determined that she wasn't, she is more interested, i guess, in running the day-to-day business of the city and the threat of lawsuits which have been going on for a couple of years now, and the discontent and the telephone calls were disruptive to the

business of running the city. >>juliet: i am reading that disruption has been getting worse and worse from different groups who say they are going to sue if their lights are there and others say they will sue if the lights are not there and she finally just said question not do anything about this, it is taking too much of our type. do you understand that? or do you blame the government? the local government? >>guest: well, i understand the mayor. i admire and i respect the mayor. but in this case, she did cave. i don't think this is any justification for the city of boca to take a different view of topic that the supreme court has already ruled on. in 1989 the supreme court determines blackmun wrote for the plurality unless it was a specific religious expression that it didn't constitute government endorsement of a

particular religion violating the establishment clause of the we united states constitution. the first amendment. >>juliet: there is an area in the city at the square park, which is the free speech area, and folks can go in this and do what they want to do, is that enough? >>guest: i took a ride by last night because i have live flood boca for 15 years, and i came here for the public school system for my daughter, and it is a fine city. and each year driving past city hall, the lights, the tree, it was beautiful. and anyway i went down to the square and it, really, it's tumultuous area there is so much in such a small area and the idea to me of confining space in which free expression can rule is regular poignant to the constitution, as well, so, it doesn't do anything for me. >>dave: all right, thank you

that young folk dozen and we need to concentrate on the positive. >>dave: you could not be right, we hear about all the bad stories, about teens, college age kids and high school kids but you represent the good things that are going on as teens. what do you, garrett, as the example that you said, i don't want to be just a good at we least but be well rounded. >>guest: my dad is a role model for he, a firefighters so he instilled pride in helping people in the community and he said athletics can only take you so far. you have to have a strong foundation in academics and that is my motivation. >>dave: and you are headed to yale? a perfect s.a.t. and act? on the math. >>dave: impressive. and you managed to be a terrific track and field athlete. what does it mean to you to win this while heisman trophy award?

>>guest: this past weekend we have met, both of issue met amazing people and to win this, standout from an amazing group, it feels awesome and to be able to be recognized for all these of those areas academics and community and athletics it shows a well rounded individual and hopefully what we have done has inspired other young teens to do the same. >>dave: i hope so. and gare let is a quaterback so i know it was cool, archie is a two time winner of the h trophy and you should get two votes but you only get one. i know you are not going to tell me who you voted for, but a lot people expect runningback or andrew luck to stand for quaterback. just tell me this do you think it will be a runningback that takes home the hardware or a quaterback? >>guest: i think it will be a quaterback. i do. and i think it will be an drew luck, andrew has been the frontrunner from the beginning

and he had a trick season and judging by the did awards he won the other night, those are some sort of indicators and that is why i am thinking it will be andrew. >>dave: i bet you a cheese bugger it is out of baylor. and now the two favorites, andrew and robert, they are both academic all americans, does that provide a great exam for people, like our example, they are excellent students. >>guest: that is absolutely trick. both of those young men do a wonderful job in the classroom and on the football field, and they are great citizens, too. and that is very important. that is, really, something for the young folks to look up to and a special thing about wendy's high school heisman trophy, there were 48,000 nominations this year, and these are the two winners out of that. that is pretty special. >>dave: you should be awfully proud you are setting a great example for the other kids.

the press put it out or the white house press secretary put out a statement that only if you asked for it and only if you are from little rock and goes on to say to major garrett that he didn't thing the press was interested, anyway. and it continues on, this guy was in, went to yemen on 9/11, 2007, and he is deported back to the united states, on the 29th of john, 2009, and it is reported in the "los angeles times" that this guy was known to be dangerously radicalized by the feds and when he goes and kills someone, in uniform, in front of a recruiting station, the only judicial action is from the state. this guy was involved in trying to shoot up rabbis from little rock to nashville, through a fire bomb there, and they are silent. normally they are just ... they

are all over it but in this case, and in ft. hood, they are not. >>juliet: we are looking at pictures of nadal hassan and senator lieberman has expressed frustration on this particularly the white house's reluctance to "identify violent islamic extremist as our enemy." do you feel the white house is down playing extremism by islamist? >>guest: they are not awarding the purple hard to little rock and ft. hood victims is a disease for not recognizing what it is for what it is. >>juliet: is this the obama administration situation or pentagon through? >>guest: it is a societial problem. we in the united states look at things law when eyes, as i wrote say and we are not taking

seriously how people who have chosen to be our enemy perceive things and we are defining things by our values instead of recognizing that they do not have the same values as we do. >>juliet: we will leave it on that note, thank you, parents of william long, who was killed by homegrown terror. we are sorry for your loss. coming up, president obama says we need to be in it or the long haul to fix the economy. >> it will take more than one term. probably takes more than one president. >>juliet: pointing fingers for the problems at a familiar name. stay tuned. this is $100,000.

if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. >>juliet: hello, even, on saturday, december 10. tonight is newt's turn a showdown in a big g.o.p. debate, but one opponent is on the attack and gearing up for more. >>dave: eric holder on the hot seat over "fast and furious," but lawmakers want the attorney general impeached. can it happen? ken starr the man that triggered

president clinton's impeachment here like. >>clayton: do these twin towers look familiar? no, it is not the world trade center but many say it strikes a sickening resemblance. "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >> you are watching "fox & friends" and i am danny devito. >>dave: good saturday morning. so much more tomorrow morning because there is a big g.o.p. debate tonight and it is all eyes on newt. >>clayton: he is now the frontrunner in iowa this hour as you look at the different polls he is 25 percent, maybe romney at 21 percent, so, it is neck and neck and if you look at the ads that are blanketing state of

iowa romney is spending a boat load of money hitting up different ads. asked whether he thought there was a battle between the two of them he may have hinted. >> a lot people that worked for speaker gingrich in the past will say whatever they will, and i cannot write a script for all the people that support me and i expect gingrich and i will have differences and we can discuss those. >>dave: differences, yes. is it a battle? there was an ad that romney play add couple of days ago that highlighted his marriage, the unwritten attack was, well, look at gingrich who is three times married and twice admitted aconstitutional -- all dull -- adulterer. people are saying they want this to be positive. >>juliet: romney said this was not meant to be a slight to

gingrich. but ... you tell us what you think. this was a group, evangelical political action committee that released we a video calling gingrich the kim kardashian of the g.o.p. and went on to say that he is the walking, talking, definition of untrustworthy so if that is any indication of what will happen tonight with the people going against him, the battle for president will get ugly. >> we had a political panel talking about this debate tonight and what they saw. take a listen to their responses. >>guest: right now we have a bigger problem than that, the economy, unsustainable debt, and i don't think anyone cares about religion and mitt has talked about if his past he was a different person. he will be very calm. i agree he will be very calm tonight and i don't think he will go wrong. >> i found them to be classy to each other so, maybe they will

have to do some jabs. >> his biggest opponent, for romney, is not gingrich, it is mitt romney. he has flipped great who he was when he was governor of massachusetts. >>dave: most of the attacks from newt have come from current and former g.o.p. congressman but it has not, the problem for mitt it has not helped. the more we hear negatives from congressman, the public, the voters seem to say, well, okay, he is the outsider and it almost helps newt that the establishment attacks him. >> the rating for congress is so low that a vote from congress means you will not vote for that person. >>clayton: the former speaker of the house, it is amazing, can republican as an outsider. >> especially around washington. the third if line for the presidency at one point and this is new trouble in the polls for romney. and, actually, well, new polls

actually for the budget, not good news for his approval rating, and romney has been focused on president obama and has not focused on gingrich and maybe here is why. look at this new poll, 51 percent overall right now, disaproven of the job that the president is doing. that is remarkable. >> this is really telling, folks. look at the independent numbers has moved from, now at 38 percent, the approval rating from 64 percent. and that, really; what holds this election. will the independents go back to the president? he won them over in 2008 that is why so many feel that romney is the right candidate because he has a chance of getting the moderates, the independents, are gingrich will have a tougher time. >>juliet: the economy will be a topic of conversation but 94 percent who were polled say the economy is in bad shape. 94 percent. now, you go back to the height

of the wall street crash in 2008 that number was only 65 percent saying the economy was in poor shape. so, does he deserve to be re-elected? cbs asked that, 41 percent say "yes," he deserves to be elected and 54 percent say no. but with head to head matchups the president is doing fairly well but you look back if the spring of this year when he matched up against unnamed republican candidate, rebound was well out in front. now, that number has dwindled significantly. >>juliet: he gets good ratings for handling of terrorism, at 57 percent approving of that. >>dave: he struggled domestically. >>juliet: now, 40 people reportedly arrested as dawn breaks over boston, massachusetts, this is what is let of the a police raid, police entered the downtown area at

5:00 a.m., and ordered the protests to leave and when they did not, police moved in and it took an hour to get rid of the occupiers camped out for ten weeks. there is no report of any injury or scuffles with the bliss so far. >> new video, turn your phone off, new video from russia as protests across the country get nasty. police taking folks away from handcuffs as 25,000 people packed their way into a local square in now to rally against what they believe was a rigged election. russian police are so far allowing the protests to happen. the demonstrations are a correct challenge to prime minister putin. the protests sparked all across russia as putin's united russia party held on for a parliamentary majority in lat week's public voting. the f.b.i. is trying to find out who tried to mail ten suspicious envelopes to the white house, pentagon, and other federal buildings. the bomb squad was called after a man dropped off the envelopes to this fid ex-store -- to this

fedex store in new jersey. hand written letters were found with no explosives. the suspect's face was seen on surveillance video and police are trying to find him. >> what does the future hold for herman cain? last night on "the tonight show," bill o'reilly said what he thinks. >> was herman cain ever a serious candidate? >> no. >> someone came up to him in the summer and said, herman, want to run for president and he says okay and did not set up any organizations in iowa and until numb, they had no one and what did he have to lose? herman cain, "dancing with the stars" next year. >> think so? >> absolutely. absolutely. >>juliet: he is so right. and o'reilly thought the republican race was down to two people. who do you think? gingrich and romney. >>dave: "dancing with the stars" do you thing?

all great prediction. and now rick and the forecast. do you buy that? >> spot on. brilliant. i will want it. will you? july judicial absolutely. rick: what i always do. and now, dry weekend for most of the country. in the west coast they have had so many bad weekends and lake effect snow across the great lakes but not tomorrow, on the west coast a lunar eclipse is dug right now so take a look at moon as it goes through the last eclipse until 2014 and in florida a cold front moved through and that will stall out so showers today and tomorrow across florida and scattered showers nothing causing major proverbs, and more heavy rain across south texas, and those areas could see maybe 1" to 2". and here is the front with lake effect snow showers and we have not had much across the great lakes so this will be a bigger

event with 3" to 6". >>juliet: before we say anything, show this pictures and let us know what you think. what first comes to mind on the picture? >>clayton: i thought it was an artist rendering of the world trade center. >>dave: what it looks like, this is a mock up of two towers being currently built in korea, scheduled to be finished in 2015: you can see the name of the architect,'s company from the netherlands and they say they did not intend to do anything that resembles lend: -- resembles 9/11. >>clayton: that is unbelieve average with the big smoke cloud. here is the apology, it was not our intention to create an image resembling the attacks.

we apologize to anyone whose feelings we have hurt. >>juliet: there are iconic photos taken in the united states on that day and one looks like an exact copy. there will be a lot of angry people. >> david says what difference does it make? so, because the twin towers were destroyed you are saying no one should ever design two towers? but do not add an explosion, what looks like an explosion between the two buildings. feel free to build similar buildings, but it is the we smoke cloud in the center of the building which is the biggest issue. despite what we read it looks like an apology, they are proceeding and have no plans to back down and it should be done in 2015.

and the korean cloud towers design was a mockery of 9/11. >> and kathy tweets us "korean towers architect said it was not intentional and i have a bridge in arizona to sell you." and there is also one in brooklyn. >> there is in a plaza designed by the man who redesigned the world trade center. so, you zell me, look into the different layer of that, and the plaza the buildings it is in designed by the same architect that redesigned the world trade center. so, keep them coming to us on twitter. >>clayton: you are not usually a conspiracy theorist. >>dave: this stinks. >>clayton: dozens trapped in an elevator, 20 people in an elevator. imagine that. it caught on tape.

>>dave: members of congress grilling attorney general holder on the botched "fast and furious," after he gave vague

answers. a congressman threatened impeachment. >> the answers you have given so far are basically saying, well, gee, somebody else did it. and, you know, there is really in responsibility in the justice department. you know the thing is, if we don't get to the bottom of this and that requires your assistance on that, there is only one alternative that congress has. and it is called impeachment. >>dave: our next guest knows all about the impeachment of a top government official in the mid-1990 ken starr investigated president clinton and his relationship with monica lewinsky and now the president of baylor university. and former solicitor general judge ken starr. did earthquake hold are lie to congress. that is one question. and should he be impeached, another. >>guest: well the jury is out.

we need to know more facts but obviously there are members of congress who are very upset and we need to know exactly what he knew and when he knew it and has he been forthcoming. it is extremely important to tell truth before congress. he survived so far, this has been going on for quite some time. the inspector general and the justice department is looking into this. >>dave: in your investigating of president clinton and monica lewinsky you are connected with the front runner for the g.o.p. race, newt gingrich, he wanted to investigate the same thing. much criticism from current and former congressman about newt do you thing he has the discipline and leadership to get the nomination and to win in a general election? >>guest: well i am out of politics. i am a university president. but the former speaker is very talented and so is the former governor of massachusetts. >>dave: politically correct

answer. >>guest: thank you. >>dave: you are the president of university and taking on college athletics because it is not going according to plan. you wrote a "usa today" piece back in august and i pulled this, allowing networks and lucrative television deals to drive a process rendering college athletics an embarrassment. what is the problem? >>guest: a lot of money. and the problem is, i think, university president and chancellors need to step up, and they need to step up, and cooperate fully, and there is a lot of cooperation with what the president of ncaa, and he is bringing about important reforms so a great conversation is underway to try to bring some order to this and it has been a madhouse with conference realign ments and baylor has been cut up in that and we are happy with the strength of the big 12 but indicative of a rob that the presidents and chance lores --

chancellors need to sit down and hash this out. people are making decisions to change conference based on fear and irrationality. we need a better system, and, also, above all to worry about the student athlete. i worry about the student athlete. so we are proud about we robert griffin ii, the heisman trophy finalist. he exemplifies the student athlete. >>dave: why think people know about robert griffin off the shield, a 3.67 political science major, and heisman trophy possibility. what does that say? >>guest: we hope he wins there are obviously five very strong candidates and archie griffin mentioned an drew luck, another great student, and we have a strong field this year but robert griffin iii is a great student athlete. first and more most a student so

the right work comes first with a 3.67 grade point average out of 4.0 and a strong student and strong student. >>dave: and 36 touchdowns. i think he wins. i don't have a vote but i think he wins. thank you, judge, for being here. >>dave: spirit airlines taking a shot at former illinois governor rod blagojevich with details on the new "slammer sale." i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends.

economic time. and yet in four years, actually, three years, there was a totally different mood and spirit in america, and the economy had dramatically changed. it is not as simple at we the republicans want to make it, cut taxes and cut spending. there are structural issues. the president is right. structural issues that need to be determined and dealt with. but it can be done. it requires the president who wants to work with congress not fly all over the country in air force one and criticizing. >>dave: and roemer says pass the stimulus we will keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent and then he says i cannot overpromise. >>governor huckabee: he did, he promised if we did this pork bill which was a disaster, in unwe did not have, we spent it, we borrowed it from the chinese, and we cannot afford to pay it back and now we have $872

affordability by making the other forms of negative more expensive. the reality is, we have several hundred years worth of coal, natural gas, and oil in the domestic united states. what we ought to be doing is using that to have cheap energy. in the meantime let innovation bring forth the green energy we want and, frankly, we can use. >>juliet: and now commercial break. can you stay with us?

event and won't have another one until 2014. your temps today. and one of your favorites towns, rapid city, 52. >> sorry, the eclipse was interfering with your communication. >> thank you, rick. >> clayton: let's talk about this, talk about fixing the economy and that's the question that's asked of president obama in the 60 minutes interview we are going to see tomorrow night and cbs releasing clips and previews, highlights of that interview. among them president obama talking about this, it's going to take more than perhaps one president handle fixing the economy. listen. reversing structural problems in our economy building up for two decades. that's going to take time. it's going to take more than a year, more than two years, it's going to take more than one term. probably takes more than one president. >> dave: that right there, may open up the door for one great

campaign ad, when is that next president? is it now in 2012 or is it down the road in 2016. may have opened the door, but again, it's the fact that he appears to say he did not overestimate the economy is a tough one. i don't know that his opponents are going to get him get away with that. >> juliet: the president has frequently blamed the previous administration for economic troubles we're currently experiencing here in the united states and you know, he's got a lot of criticism for that. doesn't seem to bother him. listen to another clip. >> the reason they still support me, they understand what an incredible mess had been made as i was coming into office and we've been spending the last three years cleaning it up. the good news is that the economy is starting to strengthen and see some positive signs that unemployment rate has ticked down. >> dave: the question is. >> clayton: will americans give him a pass. three years maybe not enough

time to clean up the mess or now it's your economy, mr. president. and charles krauthammer believes he's making excuses. take a listen. >> he was basically saying as we saw right there that the reason that the squeeze is on for the middle class, the reason we have a bad economy, the reason america is in malaise, has a sense of decline because of the unbalance of the very rich. the diagnosis is quite absurd. the reason he does it, sean, because it gets him off the hook and that way he doesn't have to speak about the policies that have haven't succeeded and his stewardship. >> juliet: could i be wrong, but it might have been charles krauthammer, saying in the first years, but after that it

starts to sound like whining. >> clayton: at the same time i don't know that whole line of dialog washes with the american people. what washes with the american public is the donald trump debate. whether or not this is going to go forward and whether or not it may be canceled as a result of not too many participants taking place in it. right now we have two candidates. >> dave: three. >> clayton: rick santorum and newt gingrich. there you go. >> dave: that's the whopping field for the december 27th debate moderated by donald trump. his lawyer tell us it's not the trump debate, it's the news max debate. newt gingrich says about opponents concerning their turning the donald down. >> i think if you're afraid of debating with donald trump that you're afraid of debating barack obama. >> dave: you're not debating donald trump, you're debating our candidates. it's a massive conflict of

interest. he won't give up on an independent run, and he's going to endorse someone immediately after this debate. so there are a lot of problems for fellow g.o.p. candidates. >> clayton: why not. if you need the press, and newt isn't see a debate, and willing to do three hour lynn done douglas, he doesn't mind, he's friends with donald, why not. rick santorum perhaps sees an opportunity to make the news headlines before iowa, but the iowa caucuses there are people who haven't committed and have he no idea. and you have to go door-to-door. >> juliet: the reason the candidates said no, john huntsman sis it would be a circus. because it's a trump thing. but at the same time trump would attract an audience, many, many demographics and might not be a bad idea to get

yourself out there. >> dave: trump's lawyer says, donald says we're seeing a lot of courage from the republican candidates. >> juliet: he's not happy with michele bachmann. >> clayton: he's fired up a little. first, a family's plea to kidnappers, let dad come home. you see the former fbi agents who vanished years ago in iran, he's alive. the videotape is a few years old. his wife joins us to talk about it. >> juliet: and this skyscraper, could eventually be in korea. it's offensive, itlooks a lot like 9/11 and the buildings blowing up. ♪ ♪ when your chain of supply goes from here to shanghai, that's logistics. ♪

it into my computer and then i was able to see it. and the first thing i thought was, i saw him and i heard his voice and i knew it was bob and i was happy that he was alive, but at the same time, sad to see how he looked. his appearance. >> clayton: are you hearing anything and do you have any -- you hope this is proof that he's alive, correct? he's been missing since 2007. so are you encouraged in hearing anything from the united states government that would suggest that he is alive and doing okay? >> the fbi has an ongoing investigation and i have not heard anything further than this video. i don't know where he is or who has him and so, that's the goal was getting this video out. i have no other information than what you see. >> clayton: now of course, the fbi had asked you to perhaps keep this under wraps and hinder negotiations trying to

get him released. would someone read this perhaps as an act of desperation and putting the video out and having negotiations start to fail. is that why you released the video? >> i have no idea. it's been a fbi investigation. what i do know is that it's been more than four and a half years and it's time to push harder to get whoever-- group who is holding bob to get in touch with us and let us know what they need us to do in order to get bob home. >> i understand you recently wrote a letter, you wrote a letter to iranian president ahmadnejad. what are you saying in the letter and what are you hoping he'll be able to do. >> i'm asking for his help. in september, when the u.n. general assembly was in session, in one of the interviews, he said that he was willing to help find bob and that there was cooperation between iran and the u.s. in the search. and i'm hoping he will

continue to do that. >> clayton: and one of the things he says in video. i'm running quickly out of his diabetes medicine and we certainly hope and pray that the folks who are holding him captive are at least giving him the attention that he needs. christine, he we know how difficult this must be and appreciate you joining us. please keep us up-to-date with the progress. >> thank you. >> clayton: coming up here on the show, a lesson in occupying. one top university now bringing the occupy wall street movement to the classroom. plus, just in time for the christmas party, a pill and patch that could be the cure for your hangover. ♪
