>> there was this great increase in money as a result of the huge trade deficits the united stated. countries like china, for example, built up trillions of dollars worth of excess funds which had to be invested and they went to invest them in the united states and the economy wasn't growing fast enough to absorb that money. banks certainly were a problem because they accelerated the problems that were occurring with these investments that were being made. but you couldn't have caused the crisis if you didn't have excess money in the first place. >> you put forward the notion that the administration and government aimed a missile at the big banks in order to solve that but ended up hitting the american people. and there are three areas we're going to go through today which you note had been affected with overregulating big banks since they are not the enemy, as you say. the first is households. how are households affected here when big banks are regulated? >> they are going to be affected -- or they have been affected in a number of ways. first of all, if we get rid of things like fannie mae and freddie mac, big banks willing not make 20 year and 30 year fixed rate mortgages. they will disappear from the scene. if 20 year, 30 year fixed rate mortgages disappear what these banks are willing to do is make 10 or 15 year mortgages which are adjustable in nature. that means prices of homes go down. less home equity in order to spend on college education, trips to florida or what have you. the bottom line is what you're seeing is there will be fewer people who will be able to afford housing. >> do you think they should act more responsible than they did? you don't think they should go away. you say it will affect the number of people who have credit cards and debit cards. small business, how do big banks affect small business? >> essentially they are penalized if they make loans to small businesses relative to making loans to the u.s. government. for example, there is a bank in detroit called co-merica. they have something called 107% risk weighted to normal assets. what that means is they're paying -- they're raising capital on 107% of their assets which is more, of course, than they have, than 100%. credit suisse, which is another bank which operates in the united states, has only 20% risk-weighted assets to assets. the difference is comerica has to raise capital because it lends to businesses. credit suisse doesn't lend to businesses so it doesn't need to raise all this capital. the net result overall is if you look at loans to small businesses from 2008 to the present, they're down. they're down and everything else in banking is up. large businesses, how are they affected? .essentially we're dealing with a huge global financial system. there's $26 trillion in convertible currencies. if you believe believe it, 1.6 quadrillion in the notional value of swaps. if you want to be an international company building large projects around the world, you have to be able to borrow large amounts of money. if the united states banks shrink while banks in canada to china grow, then these companies are going to borrow money in canada and china, and the jobs associated with these projects are going to go to canada and china, not to the united states. >> you say if. is this indeed what's happening right now? are we a shrinking global economy by comparison? >> the global financial system is growing. we are shrinking as part of it. in 1952 #, 88% of all currencies in the world were the dollar. today 18% is. there are more yen, yuan, the chinese currency, and euros outstanding than there are dollars. >> in your book you talk about you're not a big fan of dodd-frank and paulson did a great job helping to save the economy. it is all in your book, guardians of america: why americans need more banks. >>> coming up straight ahead, we are an opponent of teachers union, an opponent of the teachers union never saw coming. the students. they have combined to fight back against teachers that aren't good enough for them to achieve. >> that's right. she got the flu shot. now she can't stop sleeping. how in the world does that happen?

nine california schoolkids are suing the state because they say that the state laws about teacher tenure, dismissal and layoffs violate the state constitution. and because of the union rules, they can't get a good education. you know what? they got a really good case this time. >> right. the press release was set out by students matter which is sponsoring a case. the students basically say new teachers are getting permanent employment, after 18 months and so it is hard to assess whether that teacher is beneficial when it comes to the student. they are standing up and demanding better education. >> they think they don't have a good teacher, they think they don't have a quality education but there is no grading system like they try to put in in new york. so it is going to be the students' opinion that the teachers aren't up to par because their scores aren't reflective of other communities. >> they say -- this is part of the press release. ineffective teachers are entrenched in california's public school system. the super ten dense of many school systems affirm their schools are belee -- beleagured by ineffective teachers. the california teachers system hopes they lose in this case. when you look at the facts, you've got young, new, a lot of excited teachers and then you've got some teachers who have been in the job protected by tenure after 18 months. the way it is if they're going to have layoffs, the first ones laid off are the newest ones. michelle rhee has been on this program talking about it for a couple of years where if there are going to be layoffs, let's look at who is going to be laid off. >> the guts of this are interesting. to hear students being so active in the desire for their education is awesome. i think it's great they're standing up that they are placing value on it. i think they speak for millions of students out there. for that alone i give this an a-plus. >> in new york, you come out with an education degree, you want to get a teaching job, you can't get a job in a private or public school now. you can't get it. florida there is a big need but you can't get one around here because no one is retiring. >> there are incredible teachers out there. great educators that are out there. and i think it's great to be met with students with the vibe and heat for continued greatness. >> one of the thing that the teachers union has sued against, for instance, down in washington, d.c. when michelle rhee was the school chancellor, she wanted to get really good teachers who belong to the union a big pay raise. you're doing a really good job, we're going to give you a pay raise. the unions said no, everyone has to get the same amount of money. that is the way it is with teachers unions across the country. why don't we pay our teachers more? our kids get one education if their lifetime. make it count. it is heartbreaking that so many kids wind up with a bad education because they are in what some deem to be a bad school district. >> heather nauert. >> eup know it can be a tough job being a teacher. >> hardest job in the world. >> a vocation not like any other. >> but you get the vacation in the summer. >> thanks for the coffee this morning, brian. appreciate it. >> it hasn't come in yet. >> no, it just did. >> he brought you coffee and didn't buy anybody else coffee?

thanks. what? a a but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. >>> this administration has been very clever with words when it comes to answering questions about n.s.a. spying saying that it doesn't intend to spy and that it doesn't have the authority to spy. take a listen. >> there's been no intention to do anything of that nature, that is to spy on members of congress, to spy on members of the supreme court. >> does the n.s.a. have the ability to listen to americans' phone calls or read their e-mails under these two programs? >> no, we do not have that authority. >> now one u.s. senator is asking point-blank if the n.s.a. is spying on members of congress and not shockingly the n.s.a. won't confirm or deny anything. joining us is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. what do you make of all of that crossing talk? >> this seems to be getting worse and worse. the spying seems to be far more massive than we thought it was when edward snowden revealed it in june. here's the back story. last week senator bernie sanders, independent/socialist from vermont, sent a letter to general alexander who we just saw, the head of the n.s.a., saying just answer this simple question for me, general. does the n.s.a. or does the n.s.a. not spy on congress? has the n.s.a. spied or is the n.s.a. currently spying on members of congress or other american elected officials? spying would include -- and then he, gathering meta data made on calls, website or collecting any data from a party? answer was members of congress have the same constitutional protections as members of the public. >> are we supposed to feel better about that? >> no. members of congress don't feel better it because that sort of nonanswer was basically saying you're in the same category as everybody else and if we want to spy on you, we will. the reason that the n.s.a. won't say yes or noes because there are calls to prosecute general alexander for the answer we just saw him give. >> why? >> the question was, do you have the ability to read e-mails and listen to phone calls? answer: no, we don't have the authority. he didn't answer the question. >> they have the capacity to do it? >> yes. when you do that under oath before congress, that's called misleading congress and that's the equivalent of perjury. that's five years in jail. we also have the instance of general clapper, who is general alexander's boss, being asked by senator wyden: does the government gather massive amounts of information about americans? remember where he rubs his forehead and he says no, no, not wittingly. >> does the n.s.a. collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. >> see now, general clapper was told in advance that that question was coming. >> awkward -- >> the truthful answer would have been, senator, i'm not able to answer that question in public. but to answer lying as he did has caused members of congress from both parties to suggest that he should be indicted for perjury. lying under oath before congress is a crime whether you're the head of the n.s.a. or whether you're roger clemens, who was acquitted, by the way. so the n.s.a., concerned that they might be prosecuted for lying, answered senator sanders' letter by saying, you have the same protections as everybody else. before we started you said to me who do they spy on, the n.s.a.? they spy on the supreme court. they spy on the pentagon. they spy on the c.i.a. they spy on other spies. surely they're spying on the congress. >> why would we think they wouldn't be? and why did -- >> there is no reason to think they wouldn't. they don't want to admit it. the than congress could tell the president how to manage the military in war time. their responsibilities are distinct. >> we have some blurry lines in other areas. so why not here? >> we have pretty upset members of the house and the senate. >> rightfully so. judge, thank you. >> happy new year. >> happy new year. great to see new 2014. >> thank you. >>> he exposed the shrimp on a treadmill, the zombie video game and countless others examples of ridiculous government spending, but senator dr. coburn says this year government waste should get worse. he's here to explain why it could get worse. >>> a man loses weight eating nothing but mcdonald. today you'll meet that man here on "fox & friends." ♪ jim, i adore the pool at your hotel. anna, your hotels have wondrous waffle bars. ♪ natural energy from tea packed with real juice from delicious fruits and veggies. it's what you need for that extra boost! a >>> most people would think that eating fast food like mcdonald's for 90 straight days would in the be good for you. >> one iowa teacher and three of his students set out to prove that wrong. >> joining us is john, who lost 37 pounds and is making international headlines in doing it. john, what was the assignment that you gave your class?

>> it ends up at 243. i'm now 236. >> look at your cholesterol. 170 from 250. >> that's a dramatic drop. >> it is. i think that's what's caused such an uproar in this is how in the world can somebody have good blood work eating at what has been predominantly perceived as being just junk food? >> the answer is? >> the answer is, the purpose of this was to show people this isn't about mcdonald's or john. this is about an experiment that kids did to show it's choice. i think in the documentary that i made of this, one of the kids said it best when he said, this experiment shows us that it's not mcdonald's that makes us fat. it's our choices. >> what were the boundaryies. >> the kids had to keep it a 2,000-calorie diet and we were tracking 15 different nutrients and they had to keach them in the rda's as established. >> people are reaching out for the story as far away as japan and around the country, all for this iowa teacher who gave his students this assignment. >> this has been incredible. i'm getting one e-mail a minute, from japan, china, australia, from belgium. >> from mcdonald's?

watch this guy. this guy right here. okay. so he set up a camera. he opened his apartment window there in chicago just to show how icy cold it was yesterday. >> it gave me goose bumps just looking at that. >> how cold is it going to go today? right now outside our world headquarters, maria, i'm seeing over your shoulders, it's 4 degrees. >> yeah. it's very cold outside. it's so cold that we did a little science experiment and we posted it on instagram so you have to check it out on our instagram page. it's a video of taking boiling water, running outside with it, we threw it up in the air and it turned to snow. the national weather service is calling this a life-threatening cold for those not in shelters. so please stay safe. and wanted to show you an image of minnesota. a within was running to work. his eyebrows and eye lashes actually froze. the temperature out there was 20 degrees below zero. so again, very dangerous stuff. hypothermia and frost bite can occur within a couple of minutes if you weren't prepared outdoors. a wind chill temperature, that isn't something felt by your car or by a building. it's actually what your skin feels like when you combine cold temperatures and very windy conditions and those cold temperatures are in place all the way down to parts florida where we have wind chill advisories. otherwise let's look at the maps. current temperatures are actually below zero across portions of the great lakes and also into parts of the upper midwest. you factor in the wind and those wind chills are dangerously cold. colder than 30 degrees below zero in some areas. actual tee been warmer in parts of alaska than parts of texas early yesterday morning. it's going to get warmer. we expect temperatures to warm up as we head into this weekend. today, not so much. single digits across chicago, minnesota. here is a look at the forecast coming up for saturday. you can see a little better across most of the country. a lot more seasonable across the northeast and the midwest. back inside. >> all right. thank you very much. i know a lot of people don't have instagram, so i'll show you just the moment of impact. maria has just a moment ago gone in, heated up a bunch of water here at work, she's about to go outside. >> watch this. >> instant snow. thank you. follow us on "fox & friends" on stain gram if you want to see the whole thing. >> today is a big day. the president set to speak later today from the east room in the white house and he's actual will he going to take on the extension to unemployment benefits right now with a tone really of separating the classes, talking about inequality when it comes to the masses. people are wondering, is this something that is coming up because he's trying to divide and conquer the american people? if he's saying that inequality exists, all you have to do is look back on the calendar. look what it's been like under the obama administration. we're looking facts here. 2009 to 2012, income of the top 1% rose by 31.4%. the income for everyone else under that administration rows by just 0.4%. >> so are what you saying, if the president is saying we've got a terrible income inequality problem, your evidence shows it got worse on his watch. >> yeah. what he's saying might be true, but it may be indeed to your point just happening on his time zone here. so i don't know how you can say it with blame when, in fact, it's on your clock. >> here is what he's talking about. people lower, middle class a problem and it's rich people. people behind him at his press conference today, he'll say people hyped me don't have unemployment benefits and it's because republicans tonight want to increase it. he'll paint a sad picture where he's the only one with a heart in america. number two is, he's going to be talking about an improving economy. you can not talk about the economy improving, that recovery is here, at the same time say emergency, we need 99 weeks of unemployment insurance, middle and lower class wages are not going up. it's an emergency the rich are getting richer. what is he talking about? what is his plan? he's going to talk about promise zones. who is going to finance that? how is that going to make the deficit better? >> here is what's going on politically? the democrats realize that if the republicans control the conversation right up to the election in november, republicans will win because americans don't like the way the democrats have installed oner u.s. is health care on the nation. they're trying to change the subject. the subject is unemployment right now. emergency to brian's point. so how can republicans win the moral argument? steven hayes made a good point last night on "special report". >> you can't have unemployment insurance that goes on forever. there's got to be a cutoff date. while the white house saying it will be three months, we've been hearing that for five years. there used to be widespread bipartisan agreement that it was the last place to go, the last place that somebody who was down on their luck could turn. now it's increasingly becoming a way of life and what's surprising to me is that republicans aren't making a moral case about how often unemployment insurance that goes on forever leads to more unemployment. >> governors who are doing such a great job of taking businesses out of high tax places like new york and california start going to different states saying come to texas, come to florida. come to north dakota. we have a ton of jobs. why don't they start using that magnet? >> one of the problems is if you are in a state with high unemployment and you're getting paid unemployment to stay in that state, why take the chance and move to north dakota where there are a whole bunch of jobs? because it might make sense financially, but it's a big leap and it's handier to go down and get the money where you're at. >> you're allowing to those who might be taking advantage of the system and there is a mix there. there is a mix of those and a mix that actually need it. this is not the current administration's idea invention of this emergency plan. it's been around since 1918 under roosevelt. it became national. i do think that this is what's great about our country. there is an emergency plan. but to have it extended and extended without limits is something that concerns everyone. >> instead of giving corporations incentives to move, give corporations incentives to move. >> and are people gaming the system? i got a friend who runs a grocery store and he says he has certain employees who come back once a year or so, work for a little while and as soon as they can be, they're laid off and go, this is great. we get unemployment insurance now for two years. >> from layoffs to tossovers. there is heather nauert. i saw your tweet of your dad fishing. i cannot believe how cold it was. >> my father-in-law, for those who don't know, lives in minnesota, along with my mother-in-law. and he went ice fishing despite how cold it is in minnesota. >> i saw the little house in the background. >> that little house you saw is not the ice house. rather, that's the outhouse. imagine that. >> good morning to you all. right now police in pennsylvania are still searching for the gunman who killed 28-year-old timothy davisson. in a few hours from now, police will hold a press conference to update us on that case of road rage. davidson was driving along interstate 81 when another driver chased him and shot him. cops believe the shooter's vehicle is a small pick up truck. we'll keep you posted. >>> a stunning decision banning the sale of guns is unconstitutional. according to a federal judge in chicago, so is the ban on gun shops. the judge just overturned the sale and transfer of firearms. he ruled that the law went too far by banning legal buyers from engaging in lawful gun sales. gun rights advocates say they hope other cities also think about fighting illegal gun sales will take note of this decision. >>> take a look at these incredible pictures. a bus driver loses control and drives right through a parking garage, leaving the bus teetering on the edge. this happening in boise, idaho. ten people were on the bus at the time, but no one hurt. the driver says his brakes failed. the damage to the building, in the thousands of dollars. those are your headlines. brian, you've got a look at college football. >> the bcs championships. next year there is a playoff. this year the two best teams in the country were locking horns. florida state against auburn. here is how it looked. first here is how it ended. >> florida state rules the bcs! >> it was dramatic, a ton of scoring and never give up on both sides. first auburn takes a high lead early, 21-10. looking so strong. i thought it would be a blowout. 7-3. here is the key point in the game. a fake punt reversible. they suddenly started to believe they could play with these guys. then jameis winston, with benjamin, puts florida state on top of the first time they've won a national title since 1999. our former guest was there then, 34-31 was the final. what a comeback. what a day. winston played great when he needed to. >> that's the game where you had to watch 'til the bitter end. >> i think the networks like that. >>> 11 minutes after the hour. coming up, does your wife drive you nuts?

dr. tom coburn joins us now from capitol hill. good morning, doctor. >> good morning. how are you? >> so here we are about to face -- you're going to see a vote go down at 10:30 today. what will come of it? is extending these benefits beneficial long-term? >> no. probably not. look, this is the sixth year of this, of extended unemployment benefits. the question people ought to be asking is what are we doing to create jobs rather than to pay people who tonight have a job, who are look for a job? we're wasting $30 billion a year on job programs that tonight work. we have millionaires collecting unemployment because if you just eliminated that, you could save $100 million. if you eliminated those people who are on disability who are also collecting unemployment, you could save 6 billion over the next ten years. this bill costs $6 billion. it's not paid for. so it's about borrowing money from children in the future to pay for a benefit today. the real why aren't we creating jobs and why aren't we moving the economy and why aren't we picking the fiscal mess that's here? why aren't we creating the confidence that needs to be developed for that to happen? >> if i'm hearing you correctly, you're saying the real cure for unemployment is job creation. in terms of paying for this emergency system here, which for some, they need a rescue for a little while, temperaturely. but to pay for it, you outline in the waste book, there are tons of ways, we saw the shrimp running on the treadmill which i'm sure cost a ton of money. the money is there. why isn't being put in the proper place to help those get back to work? >> my attitude is there is not much reality coming out of washington. there is a whole lot of political spin. to speak the truth, the fact is that our economy isn't growing the way we'd like it to. we're not doing the things we need to to make it grow by eliminating some tremendously large amount of overregulation today. we're not creating confidence so that people will invest in the future. so the problem is washington, as much as anything. so now we're going to have a political issue. you don't care if you won't extend this. but if you look at the states that cut it back, they've actually lowered their unemployment rate and increased their job formation. so there is a debate economically about whether this is an incentive that is a disincentive to work versus an incentive to help people. i want to help everybody who needs help. but i also want to incentivize them to help themselves. we're not doing that with this program. >> you also shared a perspective. your op ed, washington fled reality, you talk about the fact this is the worst year yet and probably the worst is to come. we're suffering from the rule of rulers. can you expand on that a bit? >> well, i think we've abandoned truth in washington. the president has abandoned truth. they're deceitful at what they speak, oftentimes about whether it's the rollout of obamacare or in any other subject, they're not truthful. people who don't necessarily -- take this vote that's coming up, for example. if, in fact, you don't agree with the president that this is the best way to help these people, then you don't care about people. in other words, there is something wrong with you. and when we move to the area of where people can't trust our words because our words are always based on spin and not on facts, and when we've undermined the institution where we've torn away the ability for people to have a voice as senator reid did this last year, what you're seeing is the unwinding of our institutions that is not healthy for us and certainly not healthy for any republic in terms of its surviveability. i think we're in a precarious time now given the fact that the public, less than 6%, has any confidence in congress. >> sure. confidence and trust. senator tom coburn, we thank you for being with us today from washington. we'll keep our eye on that vote. >> god bless you. >>> coming up, caught on camera, the terrifying moment when a driver slams into a gas pump and it explodes into flames. and then what does the american dream mean to you?
