6:00 am
the spin stops right here. >> good morning, everyone, on saturday, january 28. the focus on florida with three days and the candidates are stepping up the attacks. >> why was mitt romney calling newt gingrich goldie looks? >> mitt is not the only one throwing punches, newt using governor huckabee to attack romney in an ad. but a problem, "hung" did not approve the message. >> and they liberated iraq but in most cities are troops do not get a welcome home parade. should citizens step up why the government has stepped back?
6:01 am
"fox & friends" hour one starts right now. >> welcome to "fox & friends" at 6:00 a.m., east were here in manhattan. nice to see you. >>alisyn: don't adjust your television set, we look a little bit different just today we are in a slightly different studio. it feels different. >> fresh. >> roomy. >> a lot of elbow room. >> like the wide lanes on "seinfeld." >> spread out and walk around. >>dave: could do some steps. >>clayton: hope you don't mine. >>dave: let us know what you thing of our new home. but we will be back to our old one tomorrow. >>clayton: three days until the florida primary and the
6:02 am
candidates are stepping up the ads. 74,000 ads were run during the 2008 campaign eclipsed by a land side this i'm around. >>alisyn: getting so nasty, the candidates are calling each other characters out of chosen fairytales. listen to mitt romney. >> now speaker gingrich said the debate before night that the crowd wasn't allowed to cheer so he couldn't do so well because the crowd was too quiet and last night the crowd was too loud. it is like goldie looks, too hot, too cold. look, i'm looking forward to debating president obama, i'm not going to worry about crowd i will make sure we tell the truth to president obama. >> newt was not thrilled with the crowd of that debate on thursday united, and he felt they stocked it with romney people and this was close to his home base. but jacksonville, florida, clayton knows, that is newt
6:03 am
gingrich territory in jacksonville. look, it wasn't his best performance. we know that. but the polls are tough to read, newt gingrich leading in a national poll by a wide margin. tough to know what to make of the situation. >>alisyn: mitt romney has ticked up in florida. after south carolina. at first it was newt gingrich but, now, today, it is mitt romney. so, now, newt gingrich is on the attack and saying that republican establishment is embracing romney and not him. listen. >> look, i think the washington establishment is hyper. this is a new "wall street journal" poll that says i would beat romney 52 to 39 nationally. but i think the prospect of gingrich becoming president for the old guard is authority filing, they are comfortable and set in their way and part of an establishment and i come along
6:04 am
and i know enough about washington to change it and i'm distant enough to change it and i think they find it a nightmare. >> a guy who was the ultimate insider, and was the speaker of the house of representatives, and he has managed to turn the people that disliked him into a badge of honor, these folks who don't like me it is because they don't like me because i am an outsider, and romney says he is the ultimate insider. is this back-and-forth inside baseball talk that most don't pay attention to. >> bob dole and tom delay a long list of very familiar faces in washington, dc coming out and speaking out strongly against newt gingrich and it seems to work to his advantage. for him every time one of the familiar establishment figures comes aboard the romney but can newt gingrich spin the outside label? i don't understand that one. there is a lot of stuff that is
6:05 am
slung around but newt gingrich outsider. >>alisyn: i don't think coulter with call herself a washington, dc insider and she has written out about newt gingrich. we will ask mike huckabee because he knows about the republican establishment. and rick santorum this he just wanted to get back to the issues. >> there is no doubt that this has been a very nasty campaign. between governor romney and congressman newt gingrich and there is no doubt that governor romney threw the first blow and it now is a back-and-forth but unfortunately for both those candidates they both have gotten down and gotten dirty and why either of them are better for it. i believe that what we need is to get back to talking about the substance. >> san torn is headed back to pennsylvania because he does not have a distraction and his taxes
6:06 am
are a distraction is he is going back to pennsylvania to get it off his home computer and complete them and get them out there. and he will come right back to florida and others are wondering is rick santorum cashing in? is he done? and he says, no, no. >>dave: it is clear he is not getting out. she going nowhere. the debate performances have been spectacular and the best was thursday united. people felt he may have had the strongest performance but how does he get anywhere in the polls? >>clayton: he is not running ads. he said he may have mailers but no ads and when you see the 17,000 ads run in tampa and sarasota and she not competing that is troubling but newt gingrich has two new ads. >>alisyn: one is his pac, so, not his campaign, the pac that
6:07 am
supports him and some call it the nastiest ad yet of the campaign talking about mitt romney's money, again, calling it blood money, which, obviously is loaded. and very controversial but the one we can show you today involves governor huckabee. >> if a man is dishonest to obtain a job he will be dishonest on the job. >> what kind of man would mislead? >> that was from the 2008 campaign and now from huckabee's campaign but it did not ever mention mitt romney, and it didn't mention any specific campaign but newt is trying to use that to his advantage and governor huckabee spoke about this ad, and never gave approval for the message. here is what the governor said on friday. >> didn't ask, they would not have received it, and i have asked several candidates to pull ads that did something leak this and we made it very clear that was not authorized, newt
6:08 am
gingrich at the end says i approved this message," well, i didn't. >> what is interesting, you ask for forgiveness, and now it is out there and it is effective. >> well, we will pull it down but now it is viral. and the ads do not hit the airwaves but they get online and that is more effective than hitting the airways. >>alisyn: and cheaper. let us know what you thing about that ad and governor huckabee will have more at 8:30 on this. investigators may have pinpointed what triggered the casino collapse that injured 20 construction workers in ohio, a beam buckled when workers remain pouring concreted. heavy rains forced the firefighters to build a bridge to get victims over a ditch and all are expected to recover. >> details from the gulf oil
6:09 am
spill and it looks like b.p. realized how badly it screwed up moments after the spill began, and released e-mail show b.p. officials were worried about the potential. it turned out they were right. the rig spewed 2.2 million a day. >> and police are releasing the 9-1-1 call made before actress demi moore was rushed to the hospital. listen. >> what happened there? >> she smoked something. it is not marijuana. but it is similar, similar to innocence, and she seems to be having convulsions. >> how old is she? >> 49. >> is she awake? >> barely conscious. >> she breathing? >> breathing? yes. >> she overdosed on ...
6:10 am
>> she is convulsing. >> police did ded it the call but her friends are not as tightlipped saying she was popped it on energy drinks that night and tmz, they are reporting she was doing something you inhale a chemical. >> and a meeting at white house was not at the president's official and was not announced until after the fact, and we are told the visit was "personal," just days before the republican primary in florida and former governor bush has yet to endorse a candidate but urged all the candidate to tone down the attacks on the obama administration. >> those are the headlines. >> and now risk. >> buddies? >> far more professional not
6:11 am
studios. rick: there is something missing. can you find the laugh track? there we go. there we go. and now the weather. a couple of things going on, two claimer systems that will bring snow, a couple of temperatures for -- a couple of inches. and in california, the winds back all day long today whipping around so a threat for fire danger and the east coast, and across the southeast, very, very clear and nice. moving forward, it is cool across parts of the rockies and toward the northern plains but that is cool, not cold, by any means, and things are quiet and the radar shows across the east nothing going on, and, in fact, the southeast will be a spectacular day, a day to get out and place tennis. the snow across the ohio valley
6:12 am
will continue to pull off toward the interior northeast, cities will be looking fine and the pacific northwest, a dry before the next system will bring more rain and snow across the area by tomorrow. temperature-wise, today, 40 in rapid city and 30 in minneapolis and everyone looking good, so it looks like no real sign of winter, guys. ed end of january. >>alisyn: i cannot get used to rick being so close to us. security. security. security. >>dave: we like a minimum of 15 seats. >>clayton: the president calls them heroes but some seals are calling for them to stop. is the public praise endingerring future missions? >>dave: a guy going to great extremes to learn football before the super bowl.
6:15 am
6:16 am
>>alisyn: they took down osama bin laden and now seal team six have done it again, rescuing two people from somali pirates. >> and the proudest possession is the flag that the seal team took to take down osama bin laden. >> the seal team are the most incredible warriors and they said it was the time, the opportunity, and jessica's health was failing, and they concluded they should go at this time and the president gave the go. >> despite the unbelievable heroism some don't want recognition and they want their missions kept secret. >> and now from atlanta, is a former navy seal and author of "the heart and fist." >> what do you think of this? whether it is osama bin laden or the past week mission, is there too much that is being made public when it comes to the navy
6:17 am
seal mission, the things they do? >>guest: well, what is essential is the actual tactics, and techniques and procedures that the seals and other special operations forces use, remain secret. the kind of body armour they wear, the explosives they use, the way they navigate to a target that has to remain secret so operations like this can condition. the fact that the actual mission went down, whether against osama bin laden or an international hostage mission that is public, of course, and the american people can learn of the tremendous investment they are making in our special operations forces is a if investment and the world can know that if an american is taken hostage, if this is a threat to the united states, the spell presses forces are ready to react. >>alisyn: i don't know if you know a movie coming out february 24, about the heroickism the
6:18 am
navy soles have engaged in i had the privilege of seeing it this week, it is, here is a trailer from it, it is so special, it, really, details, just how brave you guys are. isn't it important for the american public to see the details so they are more grateful? >>guest: i do think it is important for the american people to necessity they have a tremendous chapped oh force and the investment they make is a worthy invest in and the people who they are creating, the navy seals, it is not just the physical courage, but it is also the mental toughness and the moral sense they have dedicate their life to service and it is really important to know. >>dave: and your take on the cuts that the president and panetta made official, we are talking about half a trillion in cuts, 28,000 masheses, 68,000 army troops on the way for our
6:19 am
military, but we are benefiting up special ops from what we understand navy seal-type operations. do you thing to axes our ability to defend the country? >>guest: well, the extra investment in special operations forces is an important one. special operations forces are just going to become more and more important offer the course of the next decade not just in iraq or afghanistan but you think of somalia or yemen. we will need more special operations forces. it is a case when you cut the mains and you cut the united states army down, and you eliminate it, sounds like they are eliminating aid combat brigade and you will complete america's ability to hold territory. the investment they are making in the navy, not air force, in unmanned drones, that helps our power projection ability and ability to do surveillance but it will decrease the ability of the united states to hold

of the job performance compared to 12 percent of republicans so could it get worse ahead of the 2012 election? and now a fair and balanced debate is the founder of the tea parent 365 and radio talk show host and fox news contributor from new new orleans. most polarizing president in history? >>guest: well, very polarizing times, no doubt about that, right? people see the country very different and most divisions have never been this big. whether obama himself is so polarizing, i wouldn't say so, she more of the conciliator type personals and people on the left thing he gives in too much, so, frankly, why think it is the so much an individual question, but, more, the times we live in. >>clayton: dave, a sign of the
6:25 am
times? >>guest: obama lied when he said he would bring the country today. it was never in his business model. this go said he wanted to fundamentally transform america, to change it from the country that it is. and that is not what americans believe we are a country where people work together, different ethnic groups and different ethnic classes and this guy used every bit of crony capitalism and solyndra-like behavior, and every green energy he could come up that failed and everything that was not, really, what americans are used to. the divisiveness is there because of this. >>clayton: and what about the obstructionism charge, and the president talked about this during the state of the union, and mcconnell said the goal is to make this a one term white
6:26 am
house. what do you say? >>guest: i don't feel polarized, i like dave, but, on the other hand, two minutes into our story, obama is a liar and this is so terrible, honest to god i think a lot of us in the media contribute to this, because it there has never been a time where our media has not been more polarized. you can consume media all day and never hear anything you disagree with and that is not healthy. it is good to have these conversations. and it turns out he is not so bad. >>guest: but here is the problem. you cannot do something that is opposite of what america is, where we work together. in the end, promise to change it, you are going to have polarization, and we have seen the far left, a budget who knowledge ad occupy wall street and praised it, while he ignored the millions of people in the tea parent movement on his front line. so we are playing an agenda.
6:27 am
he works with far left union organization in their behavior but gives unions more wear than anything for obamacare. >>guest: listen, we take every thing we disagree with and turn it into an evils horrible, immoral anti-american belief, then no one is ever going to get along. we are much better off if we try to find some stuff in the middle we can agree on and try to keep the conversation lighthearted and civil. but i have to say we have a long way to go on all of that. >>clayton: i agree with that. coming up on the show could sarah palin be the secret weapon for newt gingrich, wait until you hear how she is coming to his defense and not sugar coating it at all. [ mujahid ] there was a little bit of trepidation,
6:29 am
not quite knowing what the next phase was going to be, you know, because you been, you know, this is what you had been doing. you know, working, working, working, working, working, working. and now you're talking about, well you know, i won't be, and i get the chance to spend more time with my wife and my kids. it's my world. that's my world. ♪
6:31 am
6:32 am
he says that a lot. john mccain on the trail is really, really funny but he has ten jokes that he recycles. >>clayton: and the camera guy was eating a sand win. >>dave: and sarah palin has not endorsed anyone in this republican campaign but she is exerting influence and she is doing everything she can to help put newt gingrich over-the-top. >>clayton: in south carolina she said she would not endorse anyone, like a non-endorsement but i would vote for newt gingrich if i voted in south carolina to keep the contest going and now on facebook she is an official campaign surrogate in defense of newt gingrich and it says this, there are no, there are two greater keepers of the reagan legacy than michael and nancy reagan and we saw this
6:33 am
ridiculous opposition dump on newt was nothing short of stalin-esque defending his time with ronald reagan and working closely with him and she is attacking coulter's piece, going to great lengths and did research open finding that in the reagan diaries there is only one mention of newt gingrich, and it was, some sort of relationship where reagan disagreed with the policy proposal he had. >>alisyn: they are referring to what happened where there were three articles that remain ed critical of newt gingrich and it sounds if sarah palin has a special kinship because she thinks the mainstream media is going after him as she feels it happen toddler and she was attacked when running for vice president and she can relate to him getting a raw deal. >>dave: but her husband was
6:34 am
the first to come out and endorse newt gingrich saying that is the guy he wants to get the nomination but why not come out and full on endorse him? why stop short? look, all the endorsements have not done a thing for either campaign. it is clear no matter who has come out and endorsed a candidate it has not moved the needle. >>alisyn: maybe she wants to hold until someone is the nominee like huckabee is going to do. >>dave: like rush limbaugh and a lot of folks. >>clayton: maybe like the way i bet on a football team, like in the third quarter. this person is up by 30 point so my money is on the patriots. >>alisyn: bold. bold. bold. and now our returning heroes from iraq. you may recall because we talked about this new york new york city will not hold a parade for our iraq vets because the mayor
6:35 am
said the department of defense told him to hold off on doing so because there are so many troops in harm's way overseas. >> chairman of the joint chiefs actually issued an opinion saying we are not ready as the defense department to have a parade but, there is a parade today in st. louis, celebrating those returning heroes from iraq, and there is a big question: should we celebrate the troops? should we autopsy the war, maybe not the war and the effort because it is not done but sunday we honor the troops and say we are proud of what you have done regardless of the political implication? >> i don't know we have done a discussion of this that has been more polarizing because we talked about it and we heard from tons of veterans and members of the military saying we did not want parade because of the other servicemen actively serving and it would be unseemly and others say we need a par reside to embolden and talk about the sacrifices, not a
6:36 am
celebration around the track, but it is honoring what they have done, their service to this country, so, a split open either side. >>alisyn: what is interesting this st. louis they are not we waiting for permission from the department of defense or from the federal government they are saying, here in our city, we are going to welcome home our heroes, the parade starts at 9:50 a.m., eve eastern, a very different tact. >>dave: we have the organizers of the st. louis parade, which is later in the afternoon, in st. louis, if you are in the area and we will hear from them, and why are they holding this parade today and tell us on twitter what you think of this. should we honor the troops or the war effort or either? >>alisyn: and now the headlines a navy ship decommissioned in december will be transformed into a mother ship for u.s. military forces in the middle east, it will be used
6:37 am
as a floating command center for high speedboats and helicopters for special firsts. the mill step says it is necessary because of rising tensions with iraq, and al qaeda and pirates in somalia running in four or five months. >> the f.d.a. gives an "no," to o.j., orange juice, which have tested for for an illegal chemical, and the agency has taken samples from all countries after discovering the unapproved fungicide in orange juice from brazil. more test results from samples will be released soon. a brand new theory about what might have caused a dozen teenage girls to come down with tourette like symptoms at the
6:38 am
same time. >> i started making noises through my nose or throat. i make these weird noise things. >> that was the 16-year-old who is one of the 15 students at the high school who started to display the symptoms a few months ago, and now there is speculation that a decades old chemical spill from a train derailment in their town could be to blame. several experts including environmentallal activists are behind this theory and say to ends buried deep this the south may have been churned up by the recent understooding in the contrary. >> boots are made for walking but that is not all, a philadelphia school is banning certain foods saying kids are hiding their cell phones inside of them, and a ban on fur lined boats like the popular planneds was announced and students are
6:39 am
required to leave their cell phones in the lockers and the not wear is now in the same boat. those are the news. >> tom brady is an ad man for ugg boats. >> men in uggs? i cannot thing of a worse combo. >> they look like they are so dirty. >> do you agree? >> they are hike ... they do not seem to be for snow. or outside. >> or for for men. >> so, the good thing about the new studio, we have a different view outside. now we are on 47th, and people talk about new york being a city that never sleeps, and it never stops e, working either. a company is hanging up signs. still active at 6:30 not morning in new york city, and the
6:40 am
weather shows looking pretty good, and the clipper is moving through and across the west, very clear, especially california, and we had a pretty active weather pattern a week ago toward northern california and it looks like that is gone and we will not be seeing rain or snow across california again any time soon and, today, very dry and the offshore wind means we wind advisories in effect with a threat for fire a big story there. and now at look at what will happen, the clipper is rotating through the plains an the great lakes and it will keep things active for a couple days and look how much snow it will accumulate. the not a lot. anything would be along the lates and temperatures today looking go, almost everywhere, cooling down a couple of days around the great lakes tomorrow, behind the clipper systems and stay cooler, and you have been

6:55 am
threw a baseball we would not have the argument but because it is a snowball it sounds fun. he is only charged with a second-degree charge, which is not much more than a traffic ticket, so, the punishment is fitting the crime. >>alisyn: wait, wait, lis? >> it is a misdemeanor to have a 17-year-old's record for life, a 17-year-old throwing a soft, fluffy snowball at a 14 year old, like saying you like him, maybe not the most appropriate, but come,en to have two charges, one on the record nor life? that is a bridge of -- a bunch of overkill. >>alisyn: you are saying it is not a big deal but doesn't it carry a possible 15 day jail sentence? >>guest: it does, and the reality is, they will not get 15

7:05 am
do so well because the crowd was too quiet. and last night he said the crowd was too loud, he couldn't ... like goldy looks, too hot, too cold, i am looking forward to debating president obama, i will not worry about the crowd, i will tell the truth to president obama and get him out of the white house. >> and all eyes over newt gingrich saying he is the most elect able against rebound and going after mitt romney on this idea of being pro establishment, and newt gingrich says "i'm the outsider." listen. >> i think the washington establishment is hyper. i think the prospect of gingrich becoming president for the old board is horrifying, they are all comfortable and set in their ways part of an establishment, and i come along and a genuine populist and i know enough about

7:09 am
before u.s. navy seals were sent in and pakistani now is charging the doctor with treason. panetta is convinced someone in pakistan's government knew a "person of interest" was inside that person but said there is no proof the country knew it was bin laden and a casino collapse injured 20 workers sending many workers plummeting to the floor, and firefighters were forced to build a bridge to get victims over a ditch and all workers are expected to recover. >> and look who dropped by the white house: former president george h.w. bush and his son, jeb bush, sitting down with president obama in the oval office, the meeting was kept under wraps and it was "personal," nature, days before the republican primary in florida, and former governor bush has yet to endorse a

old was playing tag at school and accidentally reached and raised the legged near the private part area. of the kid. and they are playing tag, i reach out to grab someone, and the six-year-old is suspended for sexual assault. >>alisyn: occasionally there is a story that so defies logic it leaves us speechless we wonder if there is something more. the hole fuzz says it was just that. a game of tag between six-year-olds. that is it. he was suspended for sexual harassment. >>dave: sexual battery charge before the lawyers got involved. here is the boy's father. >> she a good kid and this is a serious crime, we have a serious situation, flood no such thing

7:16 am
7:17 am
supporters sparking controversy. >> if a man is dishonest to obtain a job he will be dishonest on the job. >> what kind of man would dislead and distort to win an election? this man would. mitt romney. he said he has always voted republican when he had the opportunity. but in the 1992 massachusetts primary romney had the chance to vote for george h.w. bush or buchanan but he voted for a liberal democrat instead. >> this ad is the sharpest most personal attack against mitt romney. is it fair? and now, former florida attorney general, bill mccollum, and the chair of newt gingrich's campaign. governor huckabee has spoken out and said he never gave the gingrich campaign permission to use that clip, and he never was talking about mitt romney or any specific candidate, will that ad be taken down and do you defend
7:18 am
it? >>guest: i don't think the ad will, taken down the purpose is not to say that huckabee has endorsed newt gingrich but the pip is pointing out like with ronald reagan or anyone else this is a quote about deceit and a question that is raised by this, is who is the most electable. this is what it boils down so. is it mitt romney? or is it newt gingrich? which can best beat president obama? when you see mitt romney come on and do the kind of thing he did the other night in the debate where he is shake, trying to escape thing, telling things that are not true or half truths, that will come back to haunt him, and one of the most important ones is right upfront, and that, where he said in the debate he only voted for a democrat when he didn't have a choice to vote republican and he voted for a democratic senator from massachusetts, senator stongas but he could have voted
7:19 am
in the republican primary in 1992 and the seem thing is true on the blind trust issue, he is saying, i didn't make any money, that i could control on fannie mae and freddie mac but it turns out that money wasn't made in a blind trust and you have a right to direct a blind trust, say, don't invest in that kind of thing, you have the power to do that, which he did challenging senator kennedy. he says what he thinks is convenient. newt gingrich may get attacked for stuff before. >>clayton: on the florida space coast talking about what is convenient, the charge is when he goes to the states she pandering to the particular interests at the time, at cape canavaral he made the mention of the moon colony which was lampooned widely across the parties, and you are on the stage and he makes minutes of through are clapping and standing occasion.
7:20 am
>> i thought that was the best moment in his speech the other night, i thought, look, we are looking for a candidate, in the country, a leader, who will come out with the vision and the for sight that newt gingrich has, he has the knowledge and leadership skills and vision. he goes back to ron's days, reagan gave a speech in 1984 about doing what newt was talking about, we need to have a space program, we need to reform it. it does not we require a huge expense, we cannot it is back and let the chinese get ahead of us on space. the idea is the vision, three other candidate whose all they are talking about is we have to be more conservative in the sense we cannot spend the money because we have to balance the budget, of course, but we have to set priorities and provide the company and the young people of this country and the next generation an opportunity for so

7:46 am
there and look at the demand versus the supply, and you think about the fact this country is not producing enough of its own domestic energy we saw prices sky roberting the last four years and we are not doing anything to take care of our own domestic supply requirements and i blame the washington, i blame the republicans and i blame the domes, for not having taken energy needs seriously over a long period of time. it is inevitable we will see prices rise until we cannot stand it then we use less and prices drop and we are in a vicious cycle with no way of getting out of it. >> so, come election time, what do you think is more important? jobs or gas prices? >>guest: interesting that if we would produce more oil we would create more jobs so the
7:47 am
notion that we are subsidizing oil companies to make a lot of profit is nonsense and the president knows better than that. jobs are critically important but why don't we put investment into one of our nation's biggest industries rather than bigger because we still importing almost half of our oil and why don't we produce more domestic oil four our needs and we can also take natural gas and turn natural gas interest ethanol if we have flex fuel cars and have more domestic energy creating jobs rather than in venezuela or nigeria, create them here in this country. >>dave: the president said there are a lot of jobs coming out of the green industry let alone the energy that is out there, but what should the president do to help the situation to prevent us from $5
7:48 am
a gas, he doing what? >>guest: doing a business as usual approach. the new drilling permits are a mandatory every five years there has to be a mandatory opening up of new areas of the gulf of mexico but not new areas, new basin off the east coast, or the west coast or on federal lands. what he is doing is a business as usual but he has to, or we would go into serious decline in oil production. and that is part of the problem. the decline of oil production is ongoing and it never stops and 6 percent to 8 percent a year decline so you have to have new oil but i am suggesting we need even more than that if we are going to decrease the imports and create american jobs to use american natural resources. >>alisyn: john, you were the former president of shell oil and now you are the fonder of democrats for affordable

7:52 am
7:53 am
>> the thing is, the first step to eating healthy is shopping healthy so these "eat this not that," is designed to help think smartser in the aisles. >> you say to fill the cart with dark. what does that mean? >> well, filling your cart with dark applies that dark foods are healthy, nature colors foods with pigments we remove from a potato to sweet, we get more vitamin a and more calcium. >> darker sweet to payment -- to regular potato. and the same going from lettuce to spinach. >> and that is easy to remember. invest in nutrients not calories. >> this is about getting more
7:54 am
nutrition for the buck. there is a misconception healthy food is more expensive but you look at the nutrients, to illustrate this point, we have a dollar's worth of oats and you go with this you get a lot more nutrients and syma with strawberries, the strawberry jam, a dollar of each, more vitamin c. >> so when you strip out the nutrients inside of a bar or bread, this is packed with omegas but you go back to the base elements it is healthier. >> that is the idea. you have to put water in this but ultimate it will not cost you more but will save you. >> and it occurs in nature, i do not see the granola bars on trees. >> ignore the packaging.
7:55 am
>> this peanut butter looks like it came from a shell but it says it is natural but on the other side it says there is sugar and palm oil, if nature wanted peanuts to be sweeter it would have made them that way so you have to flip it over and the nutrition panel is the only part of any food package that the f.d.a. stepped had and said food processes but you have to make this information syma fell for -- simple for consumers. >> and fee nut butter is only crushed peanuts so why add all these other ingredients? >> you can make it at home. >> natural peanut better tastes the best. all challenge the cashier? how? >> this is -- don't start a fight with the cashier, but, when we go to the aisle of the supermarket the junk foods have bar codes and when you walk the perimeter, you find things like
7:56 am
the fruits, vegetables, and a lot of grocery stores have the bulk bin where you shovel the grain and seed and they do not have a bar code, and that is more challenging for the cashier, the harder your cashier works the more skinny you will be. simple rule. challenge the cashier if half the cart is filled with bags rather than bar codes you will be fitter. >> so she will fill out the card and your bag of quinoa. >> the all new supermarket survival guy. >> president obama making headlines after a tarmackive -- the tarmac tiff with the

citizenship nation. and party. >> he says his father is from mexico. and his mother from wales and says we want legal immigration. and to the panels that newt gingrich continuing to hit mitt romney on this idea that we will self deport, like a grandmother who has been in a community for 30 or 40 years will decide she will go back to mexico? >>alisyn: obviously the challenge, and we have talked about this, no one wants illegal immigration, that is obviously a problem in this country, but what to do about the 11 million who are here is the divide. >> and a huge issue in the general election time, but, meanwhile, newt gingrich doubling down on this moon colony he talked about earlier saying bit end of the first term he would have an established colony on the moon and romney hit him hard for that saying if

8:16 am
felt a little unnerved by the way that he spoke to me about it. >> after the president's tense visit our next guest says maybe the president should not visit arizona in the first place, joining us from phoenix, a republican candidate for congress. good morning, sheriff. what really happened there, do you know? and why do you say the president should not visited one of his united states? >>guest: well, the fact that he was clearly on a campaign tour he failed in doing his job and he should be fired for that. the fact that the problem we have had, that the governor articulated that every sheriff in arizona has to fight an unsecured border with mexico, and it is not just hundreds of thousands of illegals but the cartels that we are fighting, and there is now 49,000 people in mexico who is been killed and
8:17 am
our government have armed the people we are fighting with 2,000 high powered weapons and they have done everything not to support us but to fight us, suing us in the supreme court to stop us from enforcing the law and make us the presenters, the enforcers as the villains, so, america has been tipped on its head and this president has not done his job and the governor stood up for arizona and we are proud her to give it to the president. he disrespected her and walked away from her. and, that is not common protocol and courtesy. >>dave: many are saying she disrespected him, it is hard to know what to make of this with one photo but it is surprising that we heard more about that, and he thanked and talked about
8:18 am
illegal mission. >> i believe as strongly as ever we should take on illegal immigration so my administration has put more boots on the border than ever before. that is why this are fewer illegal crossings than when i took office. >>dave: sheriff, more boots on the ground than ever before, fewer illegal crossings than when he took office do you dispute either of those? if they are true he is doing his job be right? >>guest: absolutely not. the fact, i am a retired commander in the united states army. i served our country in iraq, and i commanded 700 active duty soldiers to help protect our border. and, this president has not given us the resources. the numbers have again down but this is what we call -- they do not mention we have 21 percent unemployment in my state because of the draw for jobs, the magnet and they point to this as this
8:19 am
is obviously the roof for them to show that they are doing a good job. we still have hundreds of thousands of people coming across illegally. what does it say about the national security threat from people from countries of interest, true enemies of america that are using this border, unsecured, to come this here to potentially harm america. and, this president, the core responsibility for our federal government, is to protect our country. and he has failed in that obligation. and all this is rhetoric. if he wanted immigration reform he should have do it the first two years. >>dave: sheriff, those statements were true or false? >>guest: they are true in -- the numbers have come down but it is a false premise. false premise. >>dave: sheriff, thank you from arizona, always a pleasure to have you. still ahead they were american royalty, john f. kennedy and his wife, but their marriage not

8:26 am
were played out in public. they were fun to hang out with and generous, and they were just a regular, great couple. >>alisyn: there were rumors of marital discord. were they separated when this happened? >> no, not at all. they were together, and they had marital problems like everyone else, ups and downs but there was nothing out of the ordinary about their arguments. >>alisyn: you say their ups and downs were based on john's insensitivity. >> he grew up in the public eye and was used to be followed around by the press and it was sort of, sometimes he would and sometimes he would not be followed and there was a sense he had no privacy but that wasn't the case. it was not a burden to him. so, when she came into fray, it was like, you know what you were getting into and you don't until you are in it.

8:36 am
job heel be dishonest on the job. what kind of man would mislead and distort just to win an election? this man. romney said he always voted republican when he had the opportunity. >> that is the new newt gingrich ad. what do you say. >>guest: what kind of man would deseen or lie or whatever, everybody whoever runs for office is the answer! but, back to that ad. that is taken from a clip of an ad that never, ever aired. it did not air on the intent or on television, and it was an ad my campaign produced four years ago when i was getting harmered largely by mitt romney by also fred thompson, and others and in response to the flurry of negative tough stuff in december of 2007, i believe in december maybe november, we produced an ad and at the last point i said if that is what it takes to win
8:37 am
forget it, and we pulled it. if you see how poor the quality is, i can think we showed it to reporters to say we produced it and we are not making this up and someone my have filmed it if that room but it was never aired. ever. >>dave: is it irresponsible to use something of your words without calling you or getting your permission. is that irresponsible? >>guest: when candidates want did win a race you use what you can. i understand what he was doing. i want people to know, i don't really care as much that he did it but i don't want people to think that is an endorsement or that it is somehow a slant against romney in this campaign. i am not making an endorsement. it is an on authorized disapproved use of something that was copyrighted we material not authorized for the newt gingrich campaign.
8:38 am
allegation have you -- >>alisyn: have you her back? >>guest: no, the reality is, campaigns use what they can and they are getting more mileage out of controversy than of the ad, so, in a way that is why they are letting this go. >>clayton: and romney is getting tough on the trail and on thursday night he took the gloves off and halfway through the books he nearly clocked newt gingrich and did not stop, is that what he needed to do? >>governor huckabee: it was, previously, particularly in south carolina, romney did not have a good week and he was tentative and unsure, whether it was the tax runs or the financial information, and this this case, he stood and delivered and he never flinched, he went after newt gingrich and he had a couple of extraordinary moments particularly talking
8:39 am
about his trust investments in freddie mac and fannie mae and he said, you too have those and you could see gingrich giving that "never mind," moment. >>dave: he did not see that coming because moment people do not know what is in their 401(k)'s but one of gingrich's line against romney he is the antiestablishment candidate. that is newt gingrich, that is what he told greta on the bus he is antiestablishment. do you buy that? >>guest: well, it is true in the sense that he is not part of the inner circle of the current frame of washington power but, he lives in washington, works in washington, has been there a long tie, is he a fair riff of the georgetown cocktail circuit? probably not. none of the four candidates are what would be considered inner circle elite establishment however, whoever gets the nomination will be the darling of the establishment through
8:40 am
november. >>alisyn: rick santorum wants to get back to the issues. >> the bigger issue here is, these two gentleman who are out distracting from the most important issues we have by playing petty personal licks can we set aside that newt was the member of congress and used his kills to advise companies, and that is not the worst thing not world and that mitt romney is wealthy because he worked hard and you leave that alone and focus on the answers. >>alisyn: does that score points? >>governor huckabee: he was terrific at top of his game and people thought he had the strongest performance. >>clayton: why isn't he getting more traction? does he lack the speakership model, newt gingrich has the
8:41 am
speakership? mitt romney was a governor. >>governor huckabee: he is not as well-known but in states like florida, it is air game not ground. you can win iowa and new hampshire and do well in south carolina with organization and personal skills but you get to florida, ten huge media markets, very expensive, diverse state and no way not world you can pull that off in florida. >>dave: with the debates until february 22 how does someone like santorum reach that audience without the money, without the infrastructure? >>governor huckabee: the key is stay on his feet. the way to lose an election is to quit. so just hold on and not spend more money than he has and not worry about what is happening and hope that one or more of the candidates implode because two things have to happen. he has to stay open his feet and someone in front of him has to implode. those are the strategies he has to see happen to go failure.

8:46 am
more experience. >> i try to make them every half hour is that what the american people want to hear from the leader? >>alisyn: and now, governor huckabee, that interview was fascinating because the president is trying to appear self effacing and humble and that is a marked departure from his first year in office where he never wanted to say he had made a mistake. what do you see? >>guest: it is refreshing to hear him admit he is human. the most dangerous person in the world is the if eastern who doesn't know what he doesn't know when a person says i don't know egg, you say i can identify. if they say i know everything about everything, ask me anything, you worry because nobody knows everything about everything. >>clayton: maybe among friends you can say he can admit mistakes but do you want that from the president, cuban missile crisis, or bay of pigs john f. kennedy came out and took responsibility for it, and
8:47 am
everyone said that was a moment when the approval ratings went up and he said i made the mistake and the american people rewarded him for that mistake. do we want that for the president every man aspect? >>governor huckabee: it is not the every man but the fact of honesty. integrity issue. we do not expect our presidents to be careful, the only one who walked this it who was perfect was crucified. we expect presidents to make mistake but we expect them to be honest. nixon would not have resigned if he came forward and he came out and said i found out some terrible things about my campaign and i am deeply regretful, it is in the crime and the coverup. >>dave: for the run up to the white house you have to appear to be every man and part of that is eating all types of food. did you learn anything in that
8:48 am
respect? we wreck down what the favorite foods were. what did you learn about food? >>guest: you see the candidates taking a bite at a hotdog, you did not eat but a bite of that stuff and you move on so you never really heat out there with the cheeseburger, you eat, always, out of a paper sack, in the car, not airplane, always on the go i was always sitting down with plastic forks out of a paper bag. to sit down and have a meal that takes more 1915 minutes to consume is a luxury. >>alisyn: and you don't mean in the front seat of a car. >>dave: big show don't, "red tail," and senator rubio,
8:49 am
everyone wants him for vice president and we will hear what he tells the governor at 8:00. great to see you, governor. >>alisyn: next, attack ad on cheese. how dare they. they say it will make you chubby. but what do you think? is this ad going too far?

>>clayton: e-mails, get ready, say cheese just don't eat it the message from the billboard ads posted around the country, ads blaming my favorite dairy product for the obesity epidemic but is the, this is just one of the ads and a google search will show more graphic ads than this. so, do they go too far? and now for a fair and balanced we discussion, and the head of the dairy nutrition science at the national dairy council. welcome, both. >> why did you let them use your stomach, clayton? >>clayton: that was before i cut out the cheese. are they help of? will i stop eating cheese? >>guest: we know that cheese can be part of a healthy and balanced diet. they are misleading and do more harm it adds to the consumer confusion that is out there. people need to understand how to eat a healthy and balanced diet, and eating a block of he may not be the answer, right?
8:54 am
how do you know is cheese-related? it could be beer or everything else. >>guest: the men diet is located with crap including a bunch of saturated fat. we used to eat an average of seven pound as year and now it is 30 pound as year mostly saturated fat, and i am jealous, cheese is addicting, and it has amazing lobbyists but it has a group in the department of agriculture that gives millions to people, or companies like pizza hut, dominoes, and burger king, so cheese has a lot going for it but it is very unhealthy. >>clayton: the government angle, why should the government be involved in promoting cheese? >>guest: they set the dietary guidelines and bring in leading scientists in the united states to help them debate the science. so i am a nutrition scientist and i go back to the science. studies have shown that cheese can be part of a healthy diet. >>guest: yes, the unhealthy
8:55 am
part. >>guest: shown to reduce we blood pressure, those who consume yogurt and cheese and milk. we need the calcium. right now scientists say we are not getting enough calcium in our diet. >> bones important if you want strong bones, dark greens, and weight bearing exercise and plenty of vitamin d for the sun, and they do spray vitamin d into milk products, there are oh ways to get it. >>clayton: what about the amount of cheese we are now consuming this is above where we were a few years ago. in europe you see the cigarette smoking packages and they are really amazing ads, inside of a long disgusting thing, can it serve and purpose to get people to stop eating the calories? >>guest: it adsds to the
8:56 am
consumer confusion. this just adds to the confusion. >> they are confused if they are eating 30 pounds of cheese. >>guest: in germany and france they eat twice the amount of cheese we eat and they don't have the obesity problem. >>clayton: i love cheese and i eat too much and my wife puts it away. >>guest: we need we three servings of milk and yogurt each day >>guest: exercise an hour a day, drink water, use cheese sparingly as a treat not 30 pounds a year and confusion is ople think they can eat as much a greg is telling them. we need to be honest with ourselves and that is the confusion. >>clayton: so you give that ad a thumb's up? let us know how you feel about this, on twitter or dial up the e-mail account at fox&friends.com and coming up, mitt romney called former senator martinez one of the best

mitt romney has never worked in washington. never been a congressman and you have to grab that as being outside washington, but i don't know if the shoe fits newt gingrich. >> and rick santorum says we should get back to the issues. >> well, there's no doubt that this has been a very nasty campaign. with between governor romney and congressman gingrich and there's no doubt, also, that governor romney, you know, threw the first blow and it's now been a back and forth, but i think, unfortunately for both those candidates, they both have gotten down and muddy and gotten dirty and i don't think either of them are the better for it. i really believe that, what we need is to get back to talking about the substance. >> and he wants to get back to talking about the substantial, although first he's headed back home to pennsylvania to get on the home computer because he doesn't have an accountant to handle his taxes. and he calls a distraction getting taxes out and headed

9:11 am
six-year-old in california. >> clayton: they got a lawyer and still, this is on the kid's record now. >> dave: they had to removed from the permanent record because the family got a lawyer and they know there isn't such a thing as sexual assault when you're talking about a six-year-old. i mean, this is absurd. really, the kid can leave the school system and go to a different school because he accidentally brushed against the groin of another child. what has happened? >> and we understand the initial paranoid reaction, gather the facts before you suspend the kid and ruin part of his childhood. we ask for your thoughts on this. kirk in georgia says, i guess that attempted murder is now the charge for hitting somebody with a spitball. >> alisyn: i like kirk's logic and we need to look at the person he who brought the charges and those people need to be counseled on their logic or lack of it. >> there's a tweet and this

9:17 am
hard to paint with a broad brush. what do you think is most important to floridians? >> at this point in time, it's the economy, the jobs, and the housing issue and those are things that are on floridians minds and i think that's where the governor is, beginning to pull ahead and i think they're standing in with someone who has the the best answer to the problems. >> certainly, immigration is a major issue for the people there in florida and newt gingrich said the concept of self-deportation as mitt romney mentioned is fantasy and had an ad that labels mitt romney anti-immigrant. how do you react to those? >> well, first of all, let me say that i joined with senator rube owe, suggesting that anti-immigrant is not the right label to be throwing around to people like governor romney and senator rubio asked him to pull the ad down, i think it's inappropriate. to tell you the truth. i think we hurt ourselves when we start throwing around labels like that. there's a lot of difference in the issues of immigration and mitt romney and i have
9:18 am
differences. there's a lot of nuance to the policy, but at the end of the day, governor romney has been speaking to hispanics in florida that's compelling to them and talking to them about jobs and about education and about the opportunity to keep the home and to buy a home and these are the things that floridians are concerned about more than anything else and immigration is it an important issue, don't get me wrong. i think on that, you know, and speaker grin went way, way off the mark. >> senator, if you take out the loaded language of anti-immigrant. couldn't you argue that newt gingrich has a foreign policy in terms of setting up local panels to decide who would be deported first? >> here is the practical side of that. so, so ill advised. can you imagine 11 million people going before panels. can you mantel the time it would take. we have a system now, that
9:19 am
needs to be informed and improved, but i think what governor romney is saying in terms of self-deportation is a private sector solution saying you can't get a job if you're not going to hang around. >> and i want to get to something that newt gingrich said to gretta van susteren, he said it's anti-establishment. what do you make of that characterization? >> now what? i've in and out of washington for a ten year period and when i got here, newt was already a veteran. he's been in washington tore 30 years, speaker of the house and the house of representatives and after that, a successful and lucrative career as a washington person that hangs around a does important things with people and gets paid well for it. i mean, to suggest he's an outsider, that's a little silly, you know, compare that to governor romney never lived in washington and who has been a governor one of our states and actually spent most of his life in the private sector, i would say that on that equation, that romney comes out a little more of the outsider.

lead to heart disease. and joining us dr. keith ablow. nice to see you. >> clayton, how are you? >> i'm doing well and i look fantastic. let's talk about narcissism. can it really cause us to have problems with our heart? >> well, according to the study from the university of michigan, it can. and particularly those folks who feel entitled, and who are aggressive, are at risk, rather than those people who feel like they're born leaders and really want to, you know, go after big goals. that doesn't seem to be as much of a risk. when they looked at people, though, who are highly narcissistic, they found that those folks seemed to have increased level of a stress hormone called cortisol, the same level of stress hormone, cortisol that you see in people with anxiety disorders. so that hormone can cause your heart to raise and blood pressure to rise and it can can be dangerous. >> really, you're basically saying it's a facade. the narcissism is a facade covering up a deeper issue?

veterans? >> mostly, friends, from friends who had been over and come back and kind of being able to touch off from them and their families and a personal touch to the war, but more important than the parade was the event we decided after it, which was more about an active transition to our gets soldiers back home, the bigger part of the parade even. >> and tom, what's impressed upon you, the importance of honoring the troops, more than 4,000 americans lost their lives in iraq, why is it so important for you to do this today? >> it's really important from my perspective that we're closing the book on the iraq war, you know, need to really celebrate that. like craig said. we'll be beginning a phase where we have to take care of the troops and help them transition back into society and i think that's really important, but, also, to let them know we appreciate what they're doing and it's a small proportion of the population,

carrying the burden for the wars. >> it's a bit of a divisive issue surprisingly because many people feel that the iraq war was not something we should have been in in the first place and craig, when we honor the troops, are we honoring the war itself effort, or simply caking that out of the equation and honoring the sacrifice of the great men? >> it's about people, not about politics. >> period. >> and-- >> go on, elaborate on that. >> yeah, i mean, we, you know, we get that, a lot of-- regardless of, you know, how you feel about the war, you have to respect the, the jobs these guys did over there, these guys and girls. you know, and that's certainly part of it. you know, but you know, you've got to really celebrate out the two. >> dave: sure, i think you're right and i think i've talked to many troops and regardless
9:54 am
how you feel about the wars, it's about the men sacrificing and going away from their families and volunteering for their country. and let me ask you, craig, what else do our vets need? i know the unemployment rate for those returning from iraq and afghanistan, north of 12%, what else can we do for the troops? what do they need now that they're home? >> well, we kind of have a division, i'm the guy with the crazy ideas that keeps us from getting sued. but, to me, we have the simple theory that we've got all of these problems in america now, we seem to kind of be stuck in this helpless sense of what do we do, what do we do. we've got hundreds of these of people coming back, what to do under the extreme and intense conditions possible. no-brainer. we've got a problem and the fix is coming home and we want to get in touch with organizations that channel that energy and drive and start doing for american

infrastructure what we did. >> and it's not just about one day, it's about a process that begins once the troops some home. tom, what is the most difficult part from returning home. as craig said, in a stressful, tense situation on the planet and what's the most difficult process, thing to get over for the troops? >> well, the thing we keep seeing over and other, is just trying to reintegrate. i mean, the group we're working with, part of the whole mission is to keep these guys and girls, having a sense of purpose that they have when they're over there and come back and they're thrown back in the mix and there's lots of groups out there working with these vets and that's what we wanted to do was raise awareness of the groups and let them and the public know that these guys need the services. >> and craig, parade starts at noon and give folks an opportunity how to help out. i know you still need a lot of help in honoring our iraq vets. if you would, go ahead and
