They will turn on you. More of the shocking revelations from the man who water boarded Khalid Sheikh mohammed. Last night a brandnew chapter in Country Music. Now im stronger an award show with a twist. Who is the big winner . We have the highlights. We watched this so you didnt have to. Hey, mornings are better with friends. And Carrie Underwood. Its vanessa williams. Enjoy your holidays with fox friends. Thank you, vanessa. Christmas is just around the corner. We should probably think about putting together a christmas show. We probably should. Thats a good idea. A holiday tradition. Hohoho find out about elf on the shelf and how its polluting your kid. First we want to bring you this fox news alert. A horrific attack on a Pakistani School leaves more than 80 children dead. Now the army says they may be hostages there. The army now working to get taliban hostages out of the building. Peter doocy is live in washington with the latest. Gruesome details coming in. I know there are updates you have for us. Elisabeth, were hearing from officials in pakistan that 84 students have been killed and about that many have been wounded as well. Those numbers are included in the latest Associated Press bulletin along with details about what happened at this school which is run by the Pakistani Military for students in first grade through tenth grade. The assault apparently began in the morning when gunmen associated with the taliban entered the facility and began shooting at random. The Pakistani Military responded with gunfire of their own and there may have been as many as half a dozen gunmen because as the taliban was taking credit for this deadly attack today, their spokesman claimed six suicide bombers participated, and a quote the government is targeting our families and females. We want them to feel the pain. The first account were hearing from inside the school are gruesome. One student says quote then i saw children falling down who were crying and screaming. I also fell down. I later learned that i had got a bullet. All the children had bullet wound. All the children were bleeding. The most recent information we have is that the fire fight between terrorist gunmen and the Pakistani Military is still ongoing as we speak. More trouble ahead. Here we are fighting a situation with isis, still trying to get ahold of what we left in libya where isis is training. Look at the taliban in that picture right there. We have the taliban. Believe it or not the pakistani government called us about six months ago said why dont you help us kill off the taliban in our country. It might go better and they have had a lot of success but this is the response. They wait and kill children. All the children are hurt, all the children are bleeding. When you hear that, you think would this be the time to maybe decrease, lean out our military . Our president s new years resolution now. To brians point, theres trouble all over the world. Is this the time to be drawing down . Yesterday the president was in new jersey at joint base mcgwire dicks lakehurst. He was talking about how were at a turning point. There were 150,000 deployed. At the end of this month there are going to be about 15,000 at such a time of peril. Is it appropriate . The president says yes. Here he is. The time of deploying large Ground Forces with big footprints engaged with nation overseas is coming to an end. Going forward our military will be leaner. As your commander in chief, im going to make sure we keep you ready for the range of missions we ask of you. The president is talking a little bit like Donald Rumsfeld did when he first took over. He wanted a leaner quicker reaction force. When he responded to the challenges in the middle east said ive got to get a little bit bigger and stronger. The times report showed the morale of the military is down to 53 of those who say im happy to be in as opposed to 84 where they were about three years ago. You look at one thing people needed to hear in lakehurst, new jersey, and that was were going to roll on the cutbacks. We never thought the challenge of isis would be this pervasive. We never thought these challenges would be cropping up. We never thought wed have to send a message to iran and to russia. Were here and were not going to be intimidated. When you see three individual beheaded in the course of this year, you look at what just happened in a Pakistani School. You look over your shoulder into australia and see the hostage situation and see isis is ramping up. Is this the time our military should be cut back, leaned back and slimmed down . Let us know what you think on facebook today. Megyn kelly had a great exclusive last night. She talked to James Mitchell. He is a former air force psychologist. He is the guy who interrogated Khalid Sheikh mohammed and abu abu zubaydah. He is the guy who water boarded Khalid Sheikh mohammed. It was great to hear from him. Weve heard its so bad. He was talking about how it actually takes a toll on the interrogators. But he made it very clear that at one point Khalid Sheikh mohammed himself turned to the american and essentially said that we dont know ourselves as well as we should because the media will turn on the good guys. Lirch listen to this. Shows al qaeda and the al qaeda 2. 0 folks isil that were divided and were easy targets, that we dont have the will to defeat them. In fact, Khalid Sheikh mohammed told me personally your country will turn on you. The liberal media will turn on you. The people will grow tired of this. They will turn on you. And when they do, you are going to be abandoned. Mitchell also has a c. I. A. Background. He was asked to do this. At first he said no. Then he said yeah, ill do it. Meanwhile he was discussing whats legal and whats not. When it came to the actual water boarding, he says we practiced. Then i realized they told me i could put a certain amount of water in, he goes i decided to cut that back. When people say we water boarded khalid shake muhammad so many times, he goes. It was five seconds at a time and in order to do it in a more humane way, much like our training with special operations. It is a difficult job for anyone to do. If you want to get into the mind of the motivation and whats necessary to extract this information, take a watch. The 9 11 victims are the reason that im here. When they first asked me if i would be willing to do this, my initial thought was i dont want to do interrogations. Thats not who i am. And i knew for a fact that my life as i had previously designed it would be over, but i know the exact instant that i decided to pony up to this. The exact instant was a person there had asked me if i would do these, and i was hemming and hawing a little bit. Either him or another person said after youve seen all the intel i saw suggesting the second wave was coming and there was going to be a catastrophic attack and all that sort of stuff, if youre not willing to do this, how can we ask somebody else . And that picture of that falling man flashed into my mind. Keep in mind all these guys were doing what they did at that time because they were positive there was another attack about to happen. They heard that theres a possibility of a nuke device, that there was anthrax. They didnt know what it was. They were just trying to stop it from happening. Theres a brandnew Pew Research Poll out shows that a majority of americans feel that what the c. I. A. Did was appropriate. He also said, mitchell said he received threats against his life because the democrats in the senate didnt have the courtesy to let him explain his actions to them. When hes talking about Khalid Sheikh mohammed, remember Khalid Sheikh mohammed went to college here, North Carolina at t. He was a clown. They called him bluto because he was drinking and going crazy like many college kids and he turned on the country. The one guy who did the water boarding, you think they talked to him . No. Never made a phone call. You know who were going to talk to . Ainsley earhardt. Good morning. Another fox news alert. Disturbing details about the muslim extremists who unleashed australias worst lone wolf terror attack. He and two other hostages died in the barrage of gunfire you hear there when police stormed that cafe after the 16hour standoff. We learned the gunman Man Haron Monis had a long rap sheet including 40 Sexual Assault charges and was accused of assisting a woman to kill his exwife. The selfprofessed radical cleric who said he was inspired by isis wrote hateful letters to families of soldiers killed in afghanistan. Monis was free on bail when he took 17 people hostage at gunpoint. An intense manhunt underway for the former marine accused of murdering his exwife and five of her relatives in a shooting rampage in pennsylvania. Schools in doyle center are closed today and people are urged to stay inside after Sergeant Bradley stone tried to carjack someone last night. He wound up running into the woods when that driver pulled out a gun and fired at him. This is the first reported sighting of stone since he left his children with a neighbor yesterday morning. America has a new top doctor. The Senate Confirming dr. Vivek murthy. His nomination has been held up for more than a year after tweets were publicized like this. Tired of politicians playing with guns putting lives at risk because theyre scared of n. R. A. Republicans also opposed his support for obamacare. Country music ended the year on a high note with the first ever country countdown award. Carrie underwood expecting her first baby kicking off the night with a medley of her greatest hits. Florida georgia line taking the stage stripping off their stuffy suits to give out awards. Among the nights biggest winners Miranda Lambert taking home female vocalist of the year.

Im sure there is a country song we can make up. I think thats how you should enter right here in the morning. All right. Coming up, investigators say the sydney hostage taker operated as a lone wolf. Are we next here in the United States . A terror expert weighs in. The battle over private versus public. A nordstrom employee fired over a Facebook Post about killing cops. Did the company make the right choice . We report, you decide. First another look at last nights American Country countdown awards. Heres lady ante bellum. Heres lady ante bellum. You cant breathe through your nose, suddenly, youre a mouth breather. A mouth breather well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. Cold medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38 more. So you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do, sleep. Add breathe right to your Cold Medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. Breathe right. And look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender, in the sleep aisle. You dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. Gunfire ending a hostage standoff in sydney. There you hear the gunshots and explosion. The alleged gunman among the three killed in the siege. Monis operated as a lone wolf attacker, virtual jihad of one. Now its hard more than 20 people inside the United States tried to join or provide support to terror groups in iraq and syria since the month of march. Lets have the executive director of investigative projects on terrorism. Steve, you look at that. Very sim patco with australia on many issues. Should we be learning from that . We should learning from lone wolf attacks since major knee tall hassan in major nidal hassan in 2007. This is not something new unfortunately. It is a symbol of how terrorism has now become so instantly attainable to anybody. You dont have to be a member of any group. You dont have to be vetted. You dont have to be selected. You can become instantly famous and become a National Symbol around the world and weve had this all over. Its not the 20 people who volunteered to go to syria and iraq. Its the potential hundreds of radicalized muslims in the United States. Were not talking about the majority of muslims. Were talking about a select small percentage. Those that rise above the threshold of willing to carry out a violent attack. And there are scores and scores of them. Were you frustrated at all listening to Prime Minister abbotts description. To anyone else it looks like a terrorist attack with someone tied to isil. He seemed to think this guy is inconsistent and weird. To tell you the truth, i was watching him last night at 12 30. I knew i had to get up at 5 00 a. M. After watching him, i couldnt go to sleep because he refused to utter the term terrorism. He refused to utter the term radicalism. Refused to call this guy islamic terrorist and refused to call isis a terrorist group. He called it a death cult basically exonerated it of any culpability. That is really the problem not just of him but of all western leader, David Cameron and president obama who calls it devoid of any type of religious motivation. Just not true . Absolutely not true. Calling it, you know, radical Islamic Terrorist Group is calling it what it is. When we call Nidal Hassans act an act of Workplace Violence and we dont call what happened over the summer in new jersey an act of jihad which is what happened after they caught a man who killed four people and said im carrying out jihad. These are lone wolf terrorists and they can carry it out with a knife, ax or gun. Steve, always a pleasure. We told you about a new study that shows real men like spice.

Choochoo is what i say. Michael, thank you. 115 years going strong. Let me tell you whats happening in headlines this morning. New york citys mayor has a dirty secret thats not a secret any longer. It turns out that mayor bill de blasio ordered city lawyers to stay silent about a lawsuit to keep untaxed cigarettes out of the big apple because it differed from his Public Comments on the eric garner case. Garner died after police who stopped him from selling bootleg cigarettes put him in a chokehold. All this according to the new the new york post. After the grand jury decision de blasio said garners criminal activity was a minor offense so revealing he was behind a ground baking groundbreaking lawsuit would be hypocritical. A nordstrom employee fired after a Facebook Post about killing cops. He wrote in part every time an unarmed black man is killed you kill a decorated white officer on his doorstep in front of his family. It was linked to nordstrom media account. They showed hodges the door and told him they do not tolerate violence of any kind. Are your gifts on that truck . A crash in new jersey send fedex packages flying, not something you want to see days before christmas. Hundreds of packages scattered across the highway. A second truck was called in to pick up those packages and hopefully prevent delivery delays. A trio of burglars knew they picked the wrong family to steal from when they found themselves held at gunpoint. The three caught on Surveillance Video stealing two tvs and other Christmas Gifts from this alabama home. A few days later the owners recognized the thieves driving past them and wanted to make sure they didnt get away. When you stopped them, what did you say at that point . Oh [bleep]. They tried to say they were lost and we corrected them where they were. Police believe the trio had just come from another Home Invasion since their car was full of stolen items. And those are your headlines. Back to you guys on the sofa. The story of the most lethal sniper in the United States militarys history hitting the big screen in a big way. See a woman and a kid. Got eyes on this. Can you confirm . Negative. Your call. That promo should get an oscar. Bradley coorm brad cooper starring as legendary sniper chris kyle, coming out christmas day. Michael tammero was at the premiere last night. How was it . Amazing. Its one of the best thing ive seen in a very long time. It is so unbelievable. The whole time i thought to myself, it should have had a better ending. When they started the movie, he was alive and we know what happened in real life. You know how these things go. Theres brian and Bradley Cooper right there. That was a bad time for your flash not to work. How do you tell Bradley Cooper the flash didnt go off . You just go with that selfie. He looked exactly like chris kyle. He put on 40 pounds of muscle. This is one of those movies hollywood could have gotten it so wrong in so many ways but they got it right partly due to Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper and the screenplay working very closely with the family. Clint eastwood was asked specifically to direct this. Who better to capture this kind of story than probably one of the greatest american directors. In the beginning it looked like Steven Spielberg was going to get the task but instead at the end clint got it. We caught up with them on the red carpet last night and asked them what they hoped people would take away from this very important movie . I hope it can keep carrying the message he tried to give. If you see somebody like his brother, you know youll not just walk right past. Maybe help him out in some way. All the people in active service sacrificed an enormous amount. The people left behind are also making sacrifice. That is something i think about more than i ever did. Theres a great line in this movie. Part of your job is coming home emotionally. We asked how long did it take from the time he physically came home to getting back to himself. I kept telling him i know this wasnt easy because you did it so quickly in the big scheme of things. I know you had to fight tooth and nail to get here but you did it. Im grateful and so proud. It was a few years at most to get back to the point where he was back to the cowboy wearing the belt buckle. Along the way he was always laughing with the kid but he had other elements working too. To me, my humble opinion i think its got to be the movie of the year. I cannot believe it didnt get a nomination. Number two is ptsd, anybody who think theyre too cool, this guy had it and chris kyle had to be treated for it. Thats going to be the message out of this movie. As tough as some of those battle scenes were to watch it was harder to watch him at home and it was almost a relief to see him doing what he did best. You can catch interviews on inthefoxlight. Com and follow me on twitter. It opens up limited release christmas day. Great job. Coming up, parents, how many times have you listened to this in the car with your kids . Let it go let it go frozen fans wont let it go, and now the movies director feels your pain. Sony asking the media to ignore all the leaks from the recent hack attacks, but can they legally expect news organizations to do that . Im with judge napolitano this morning. He is exhausted. He had to cover this story and here he comes. Over the weekend the cochair of Sony Entertainment broke her silence about the recent hacking scandal to apologize for some offensive emails she sent about president obama. In response obama said no worries. Worries. [inaudible]save you fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance. Everybody knows that. Well, did you know genies can be really literal . No. What is your wish . No. Ok. A million bucks oh no. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance. A a a frozen descrerkt descrerkt frozen director jennifer lee is sorry if you cant let it go. Audience still chanted by the film after the release. Parents are confessing frozen fatigue. The hall of fame about to get bigger. Official inductees have been named. They include lou read, green day, double trouble and joan jett and ringo starr. Tickets go on sale thursday. The sony hacking scandal exposing an ugly side of the glamorous business of hollywood as very damaging emails leaked to the public. Leonardo dicaprio called despicable and Angelina Jolie called a brat. Sony executives mocking mercilessly will smiths kid. Can sony sue . Lets talk to judge andrew napolitano. We are talking about the law here. Were not talking about taste or compassion or decency. It may be tasteless and lacking in impassion and even indecent to publish it but it is lawful to do so because people have an interest in this. But, judge, it is stolen material. Yes, but the First Amendment protection for the media, of which you and i and all of us, even kilmeade are a part, is so vast and strong in this country because the media is the eyes and ears of the public. So heres the law. If the media obtains information, even stolen, as long as the media didnt do the stealing and the information is of interest to the public, the media is free to publish it without civil or criminal consequences. Judge, you know presumably the logical conclusion is it was north korea, they didnt like this movie so they stole it. They hacked in. By media printing it essentially were helping the bad guys achieve their goal. In the case of the kim jong un movie that mocks him, yes. The bad guy wins and were helping them. You could make that argument. We in the media are in the business of providing information that we believe our viewers or our readers, as the case may be, are interested in hearing about, even if its lurid or lascivious. Whats the difference between this and say hacked email photos of Jennifer Lawrence and others . There they are, inappropriate pictures. They were gotten illegally as well and some published them online . There is a difference in this respect. If the information to be published is private and of no interest to the public, not news worthy, then the publisher can be liebl for it. Not criminal liable but civilly liable. That is called false light, a fancy phrase for nobody is interested and you shouldnt have published them. Any time it comes to a celebrity, people love that stuff. If it involves a celebrity you lose. The public is always interested in it and the people that get this stuff are free to publish it. Including our brothers and sisters in this building. Its juicy stuff and you read it and go thats really something. But its just a matter of time until we are all hacked and all of the stuff is out there and you read it out of context and whoa, that looks great. Yesterday david bowies very prominent, terrific lawyer for sony said stop publishing this stuff. He knows that letter is not going to get anywhere but i dont blame him for trying to help his client out. I hate the idea that north korea wins by exposing this stuff. It is hard to imagine north korea winning anything today. Thank you, judge. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. We just gave you a review of american sniper and that is not the only patriotic movie coming out this year. But you wont know that from some award nominations. Why is hollywood snubbing the military . Look at the new normal, barbie doll complete with cellulite and freckles and acne. It doesnt end there.

Reliably fast internet starts at 89. 95 a month. Comcast business. Built for business. Christmas is almost here, but not everyone is in the spirit. It turns out the fc police want to police your Kids Christmas list. We have our guest. Good morning to you. Good morning. Merry christmas. But maybe not so if you buy some of the things on the list of the pc police. Lets start with some of the things that you should not be giving because it would be offensive. Right. First up, a gender list gingerbread cookie, i guess, so no ginnier bread man. Theyre offensive. But i dont really think cookies have genders at all. Theyre cookies. So to even think about what a cookies gender would be, no. When the kids are decorating it, they decide. Exactly. Its stale cookie. The new anatomically correct barbie doll is still offensive . Still offensive. She comes with an optional pack of glitters freckle and mole stickers. A blogger says thats not good enough cause thats like telling girls moles and freckles are optional. Not every kid out there wants to put a bunch of. S on her toys. I think thats just fine. How about shes fine exactly as she is . Yeah. Okay. So the green army men. We love those. No . We cant give them. Why . Because it promotes aggression in boys and can lead to domestic violence, which is insane. Really . Where is that study . Exactly. I dont think so. So gender noncon forming princesses, we cant give these either . Not either. What about frozen . Thats unrealistic because its principle questions. Since when do they have to be realistic. I dont think any little girl thinks thats an option in the future. So thats pretend. Right. Were okay with that . I trust kids to know that. I was playing with army guys anyway. Constructionrelated toys, like pink science kits . Its offensive if it comes in a pink package because it says girls are not competent enough to pick these toys unless they are packaged in pink and can affect their career choice. The Companies Get throughout and produce pink construction toys and thats offensive . Seeing a pink package saying a pink package could affect a girls career choice is way out. Wow. I might give them all. I might buy the things that you suggested there. Thanks. Coming up, with acts of terror erupting around the globe, the president proudly announcing were cutting the military. But is now the time to be cutting our armed forces and gutting it . Let us know. The elf on the shelf not so innocent, according to one professor.

A bloody School Massacre at the hands of the taliban. More than 120 shot dead, mostly kids. The break developments for you from overnight. Meanwhile, another day, another threat from radical extremists and islamists. So why is our president using this opportunity to call for a leaner u. S. Military . Are we really headed in that direction . Yes well report. Youll decide. Thinking about buying Christmas Presents for your coworkers . Oh, secret santa. Oh, i love secret santa. Okay. Boxers. The dos and donts when it comes to work. There was a time when she used to have me act in those. I guess i didnt make the cut again. Dont call u well call you. Nobody calls me. Mornings are better with friends. Hey, this is joel. Happy holidays. Youre watching fox friends. Joel, good job with the ho, ho, ho. Thats great. That was excellent. That wasnt in the prompter either. Joel has been with us for many, many years. And i have to admit and i know every show feels that they have the best stage manager, but we really do. Yes. Joel does a wonderful job. And thats joels thumb. Right. And thats as much as youll see. Hes kind of the thing of our show. The adams family reference. We have got a very busy Tuesday Morning. We start with a fox news alert. There has been a horrific attack on a school in pakistan. At least 120 people are dead. A majority of those are kids between the ages of 12 and 16. Peter doocy joins us from the bureau in dc with the very latest. Reporter in the last hour, the death toll resulting from that Taliban Attack has risen to 126. Most of the 126 killed are students and there are also scores of wound that. Is what pakinstani officials are telling the a. P. About the morning time assault on a school run by the pakinstani military for students first grade through tenth grade. The taliban is claiming six suicide bombers descended on the school because, quote, the government is targeting our families and females. We want them to feel the pain. The first reports we were hearing are that the gunmen fired randomly, that the pakinstani military responded to the scene quickly, returning gun fire and engaging the terrorist gunmen in a fire fight. The Associated Press is also reporting that there were two loud booms heard from unknown origin. They spoke to a student and he paints a truly terrifying picture from an innocent civilian point of view. He says this, quote, then i saw children falling down who were crying and screaming. I also fell down. I learned later that ive got a bullet. All the children had bullet wounds. All the children were bleeding. This is the worst terrorist attack in pakistan in more than a year and the latest update that we have is that the situation is ongoing. Back to you in new york. Peter doocy with a live report, very latest, 126 dead. This seems to be in response to one of the most effective offenses. Theyve called on us and said hey, america, we like the idea of you droning the terrorists cause the taliban were overwhelming our government. So we started doing that again. And this is the response to that going into killing innocent children. It certainly doesnt fit the narrative that alqaeda is on the run and terrorism is dead when you hear 126 dead, most of them are children, your heart is aching. This on the heels of the sydney hostage situation where two innocents were killed there. So then you have the president isis. Would this be the time for the president to say, were going to actually lean out, were going to skinny up on our military. This is new jersey yesterday and this is our president. The time of deploying large Ground Forces with big military foot prints to engage in nation building overseas is coming to an end and Going Forward our military will be leaner, but as your commander in chief, im going to make sure we keep you ready for the range of missions that we ask of you. Amazing the way he spun out, the war in afghanistan is coming to a close. Were not going to bring the fact that i pulled out the troops way too quickly, causing isis to take root and we have to fight back in. He says we have a installer foot sprint smaller foot print and thats a good move . One of the comments when historians look back is the decision to pull out, i cant believe he spun that that way. Especially when we have men and women willing to be in those places in our place to keep the world safe. To stick around to make sure the gains we have there are maintained. We asked you what you thought about how were drawing down the military over there. Gary says we should be ramping up. But using technology more wisely. Thats right. Stacy says this, we should be strengthening our military. Countries dont fear leaner armies. I love to see Mitch Mcconnell say goodbye to the sequester. Denise says our military is already too lean. Its our government thats too fat. Amen to that. Meanwhile, a great revelation last night. Megyn kelly sat down with James Mitchell. You probably dont know his name, but hes retired air force psychologist. Hes one of the guys who did the interrogation on the high value detainees, including Khalid Shaikh mohammed. On the heels of the democrat report, essentially said it didnt work and they did a bunch of illegal stuff. He was on with megyn kelly last night and said, look, i was in the room when the director of the c. I. A. And the top lawyer were talking about how it was all legal. So it was legal. He also said, even though hes the guy who administered the actual water boarding to Khalid Shaikh mohammed, nobody ever called him. Nobody ever talked to him. So hes not a fan of the Senate Democratic report. And he said that Khalid Shaikh mohammed himself made it very clear that one day the liberal media would turn on the good guys and it was very prophetic. Listen to this. Shows alqaeda and the alqaeda 2. 0 folks, isil, that we are divided and that were easy targets, that we dont have the will to defeat them because thats what they know. In fact, Khalid Shaikh mohammed told me your country will turn on you. The liberal media will turn on you. The people will grow tired of this. They will turn on you. And when they do, you are going to be abandoned. He also observed Khalid Shaikh mohammed down at gitmo, he has an opportunity to defend himself and yet, this fellow who was skewered by the report does not have a chance to defend himself legally. Startling revelation how the media is playing into the hands of the terrorists. Unreal. New details about the muslim extremists who unleashed australias worst lone wolf terrorist attack. The gunman sent to of his hostages died in the ba badge of gun fire when police storm the cafe after a 16hour standoff. The selfprofessed radical cleric had a long rap sheet, including 40 Sexual Assault charges and was accused of assisting a woman to kill his exwife. He said he was inspired by isis also wrote hateful jihaddist letters to families of soldiers killed in afghanistan. Earlier on fox friends, terror expert weighed in on the new fears extremism is posing to the homeland. Its a symbol of how terrorism has now become so instantly attainable to anybody. You dont have to be a member of any group. You dont have to be vetted. You dont have to be selected. You can become instantly famous, be martyred. He was free on bail when he took 17 people hostage at gun point. Australian authorities are facing questions about why he was allowed out of jail given the seriousness of the charges against him. And intense manhunt is underway now for the former marine accused of murdering his exwife and five of her relatives in a shooting rampage in pennsylvania. Schools in the area are closed. This after Sergeant Bradley stone tried to carjack one and ran into the woods when the driver pulled out a gun and fired at him. This is the first reported sighting of stone since he left his children with a neighbor yesterday morning. America has a new top doctor. The Senate Confirming this guy.

Thats what i think when i look at my elf. Exactly. I have no idea how they move around the house. I have no idea. The elf . Yeah. My kids arent worried because ours is so mischiefous, he gets into more trouble than they ever kid. Its a great weapon in keeping kids acting wife. My wife, by the letter of the law, cause because your wife knows the elf on the shelf is watching her. Because the professor is right. Your wife has been conditioned to know there is surveillance going on in your house. Exactly. It was so much easier, remember back in the old days when we just imagined that santa was watching us all the time . But now weve got the elf on the shelf reporting back to the nsa. Actually i wish the elf on the shelf was real and the nsa was make believe. By the way the elf on the shelf is real and hes going to report back to the north pole.

Unbroken, two major Motion Pictures based on the extraordinary lives of two u. S. Heros and huge best selling books and obvious oscar contenders. Why is hollywood snubbing the patriotic shows . Were joined by dominic from hollywood. Good morning to you. Weve seen this in the past where it doesnt seem like hollywood has embraced the military movie. I mean, this is remarkable in this case. These are two movies made by two highly acclaimed directors now. The first being Angelina Jolie, who has done unbroken. The second one receiving a lot of acclaim. But american sniper, the story of chris kyle a true american hero, directed by Clint Eastwood and snubbed, remarkable. Unbelievable. But youre the pro. These look to be we havent seen unbroken yet. These look phenomenal. You go back to zero dark thirty, also a phenomenal movie. Thats another military themed one. Lone survivor as well. The box office responded, but the award shows havent. Yes. I think also, brian, both these movies are opening on christmas day. So i think the sag awards and the Golden Globes are going to get a real showing by the American Public who im pretty sure are going to turn out for these two great movies. These are american heros. Two very different wars, but two films that deserve nominations. And both were snubbed. Sag awards gave unbroken the best stunt ensemble nomination. But really, it deserved better. So so far weve married from the sag awards, Screen Actor Guild and grodin globes. We have not heard who is going to be nominated for the oscars. Have is there a possibility that there will be backlash that hollywood so far has responded to the greatness of these films and it they will be nominated . There is a good possibility. They come out january 15, which is actually four days after the Golden Globes are actually handed out. I think youre going to see, once these movies open on christmas day, a lot of people are going to realize these are real american heros, real american stories, told by really Great American artists. By the way, i want to give a shout out not just to Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie, but Bradley Cooper in american sniper, which i have seen, unbelievable job. He have does amazing. Well find out theyre patriotic enough to make the movies. Not just to make these movies stand out that will live in infamy. Thanks. And by the way, a Merry Christmas to you and your families and pass it on to elisabeth if i dont see you before hand. Shes listening. Thank you very much. Merry christmas to you.

Just annoyed. Steve . Cautionary tale. Thank you very much. Its a story weve been following very closely here on fox friends. A decorated Army Lieutenant, Clint Lorance, serving a 20 year sentence for giving an order to pope fire on some men, two were killed. He was sentenced to prison for murder. His heartbroken mother joined us yesterday here on fox friends. My son has been grieving because even though he did what he felt he had to do and he said if he was in the same situation, he would do it again. He chose to protect his troops. Please do the right thing and release my son and let him come home. That is a possibility. But the army said the men killed that day did not have ties to terror. But now his attorney is seeking clemency as new evidence has come to light that may prove the men do have terror backgrounds. Joining us now, peter johnson, jr. , fox news legal analyst and john maher, the lawyer fighting for his freedom. You have in evidence that apparently these other guys who he ordered to be engaged turns out they were bomb makers, right . We did submit evidence to the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division of fort bragg and that evidence indicates the individuals on the field that day are associated with ied terror networks, ied placements and are potentially jihaddists. What we think is very important about that is that that evidence has been in the possession of the government at the time of the courtmartial and at the time leading up to the courtmartial. We think that had that evidence been presented to the chain of command and to the and or the jury, that they may never have had a courtmartial or had we had a courtmartial, that the outcome with have been entirely different. John, general Richard Clark was a well regarded general, head of the 82nd airborne, a great soldier is going to make the ultimate decision under the cold of military justice. Why is this case particularly suited to clemency, this allegation there was not disclosure of terror ties. There was a failure to disclose evidence that it was an unfair trial, that there was a lack of due process. Why is this particular case involving lieutenant lorance suited for clemency . I think that is the question for this case. It strikes at the very heart of clemency. That being Major General clark con congratulations on your recent promotion to general, he has the authority to take this case and he can dismiss all charges, all specifications and hes particularly suited to do that for many of the reasons you just articulated. He knows things that the judge and the jury and those officers who recommended courtmartial never did. Because of that superior knowledge, he is rightly and correctly able to substitute his judgment as the convening authority for that of judge and jury and do right by clint, his family, the 82nd Airborne Division, the army, and the country. You had the capacity to find out the people involved with this potential attack may have been scouts. They may have been jihadis. They had business in the past in terms of i. E. D. S and you reference in your papers ten different intelligence sources, computerized sources, that showed this. Why didnt the prosecutor present that evidence to lieutenant lorance and then his lawyer . That would be speculating on that part. I wish they had. Had they, the entire process may have been different, and quite likely would have been different. I can only speculate that a, on the one hand it could be an oversight or negligence. We hope that to be the case. B, it could be Something Else, maybe perhaps a little more untoward. I think its probably more the former than the latter. But in any event, it never occurred. The prosecution should have developed this evidence, presented it to the defense. The defense should have been able to prepare. Had the defense received this evidence, the entire proceedings would have been different and in the larger sense, what would have happened is had those officers from the Company Battalion brigade and division been presented with this evidence, they quite likely would not have recommended courtmartial. Sure. Its not too late for the army to do the right thing and i hope that general clark does watch this and looks into the evidence. We thank you very much for bringing this to our attention and peter johnson, jr. , you as well. There is general Richard Clark, who could grant clemency. Thank you. Thanks. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. Thinking about buying Christmas Presents for your coworkers . Oh, secret santa. Oh, i love secret santa. Okay. Boxers. Trouble.

For example, here to talk about that, things to save yourself from mistakes that we make, cheryl casone, from our sister network, the fox business network. Save us. 52 of American Workers plan to give something to their coworkers. There is a right way and there is a wrong way. And the first one is, do you play favorites at the office . Hey, Merry Christmas. Thank you so much. Great year, great job this year. At a problem . Kind of was. Obviously i was the boss in this one and i gave to my favorite employee, but ignored the other one. And you cant give one nicer than the other, especially if theyre the same level. Exactly. If youre going to give joel something, you cant ignore chris over here, cause it would hurt his feeling. Right. But the difference is, joel comes to work soaker and chris cant say the sober and chris cant say the same. Youre right. Here is the thing, if youre going to buy something for your boss, you need to watch what youre going to spend. Look at this mistake. I just wanted to say Merry Christmas. I hope you like it. Thank you. You didnt have to do this. An ipad. Really didnt have to do this. Nothing makes a boss uncomfortable like spending too much money. I know what you make, so dont give me something that i know you probably cant afford. Wow. So there is a problem with caring about your boss too much. Yeah.

Were not name droppers, but we do have a lot of famous people. We do. Absolutely. Short and sassy. We want to start this morning by thanking you for joining us with a fox news alert. Taliban murderers storm a pakinstani school killing more than 120 people, most of them children. Students between 12 and 16 years old. Peter doocy is live in washington with the developing details. Peter . Reporter the death toll has risen to 126 and most of those killed in this taliban assault were students. A taliban spokesperson who was taking credit for the terrorist attack claims six militants stormed the school this morning and the group is making their motive clear. Quote, the government is targeting our families and females. We want them to feel the pain. The pakinstani Prime Minister is on his way to the scene of this morning time massacre and already condemned what happened. And the first accounts from inside this militaryrun school from survivors and eyewitnesses are that the gunmen fired randomly and that a big fire fight followed soon after when the pakinstani military responded trying to protect this school for students in first grade through tenth grade. One of those students tells the a. P. , quote, then i saw children falling down who were crying and screaming. I also fell down. I learned later that i have got a bullet. All the children had bullet wounds. All the children were bleeding. And the last update that we got is that the fighting between the pakinstani commandos who responded and the taliban gunmen who attacked is still going on. Back to you in new york. All right. Peter doocy on the north lawn of the white house this morning. We thank you very much. Now lets travel a couple miles from where peter is over to north capitol and there is laura ingraham. Im sure you want to weigh in on this. I mean, the level of depravity and the level of we should just call it what it is, evil, within the taliban, isis beheading christian children last week. I know you guys covered that story. And we here in the United States, were turning ourselves inside and out about a few detainees who were subjected to a few enhanced interrogation techniques. If we dont know now with whom were dealing, then i dont know when we are going to know it. So our prayers im really speechless in listening to this report and seeing the news of this. 126 kids for the most part. They dont care. They dont care. It is aannihilation of any apostate and their goal is to subjugate and intimidate anyone from acting and responding. That is an intimidation and fear tactic that theyre going to use. Its absolutely gruesome and pure evil as you just said. So is this the time then because the president seems to think so to lean out our military . Listen to this and im sure youll is a strong reaction. The time of deploying large Ground Forces with big military footprints to engage in nation building overseas, thats coming to an end. And Going Forward our military will be leaner, but as your commander in chief, im going to make sure we keep you ready for the range of missions that we ask of you. So less people doing more. Yeah. Again, none of this should surprise anyone watching fox friends this morning. He had a goal to transform america and part of that transformation was to reengineer the military, both socially, culturally, and now cutting forces back tens of thousands being cut. We saw the scandal with the v. A. , the way our returning veterans have been treated. A lot of them homeless, dont have job opportunities. Now the ultimate insult is that a lot of them are going to be replaced by Illegal Immigrants who seek a pathway to citizenship. So all of this should be very sobering to this country as china is on the rise. China continues to build its military. China continues to threaten americas interest, both with our relationship with russia, with our dealings with iran and the south china seas, taiwan, hong kong protests. All of this is happening and america grows weaker and weaker and weaker thanks to the president. Intentionally. Donald rumsfeld talked about a leaner, quicker military. But when you have situations pop up, you have to get troops on the ground, the president doesnt want to do that. Its amazing how he skated over the fact that the big issue was we ended the war in iraq and scaling down in afghanistan. Whats he going to say now that isis came up . His new line is, i pulled most of the troops out of iraq. We dont want many anyway. Yeah. Well, as isis has total control in mosul, Third Largest city in iraq. We have to acknowledge this, brian, and everybody, that the country the years during the Bush Administration, the country grew sick of war. They didnt see how it was making america stronger. They saw america get weaker after year after year after year of deployment. That is a fact. And we have to understand that. We have to have a smart military and we have to conserve our military might. We werent weaker. Luckily there is nothing going on in the world where we need a big military. How demoralizing. Off the list, north korea. North korea right now is in the news because it looks like their computer experts hacked into sonys computers, got all of the email. Earlier this morning over on another morning show, aaron sorkin, a famous producer. Liberal. Sank at this moanious liberal. Hes a liberal. Hes behind the west wing. He says that news medias should not be putting these things on television. Listen to this. There are certainly times when the press should have an obligation to publish things that were stolen. Talk about the pentagon papers, but you dont even have to use that as your standard. Loosen the standards a little bit. Is there anything in these emails at all thats in the Public Interest that points to wrongdoing at the company that helps anyone in any way . There isnt. There is just gossip there. You can ultimately you have to dispense with standards entirely in order to be okay with publishing these emails. Well, laura, what do you think . You know whats hilarious, is hollywood exists off of pr and gossip. And what aaron sorkin is mad about is this is one occasion where the pr got away from them. So you have amy pascal and all these liberals who are making these racially intense comments who nobody was looking and all of these comments about how ticked off they are, theyre not part of the loop of information, new comment about someone who talked about being like the black baby, all the people adopting black kids. So aaron sorkin doesnt want the dirty laundry of hollywood out there because theyre always wagging their finger at conservatives or fox news or tea party people. But when the light is on them, theyre like oh, you cant cover this, this is outrageous. Its so obvious when theyre doing. You kind of did right there. Its also interesting, too, because it seems as though theyre giving not only just want to go sweep it under the rug, but giving them the sort of entitled pass to racist remarks. And even oprah is saying, only certain people deserve this pass. Take a listen to this. That we would not stand in judgment in such harsh judgment of a moment in time where somebody was hacked and their private conversations were put before the world. There are things that you say in your private conversations with your friends and with your colleagues that you would not want to be broadcast on cnn. You know, i have a problem with this story and that is, north korea hacked in. They wanted to embarrass sony. And then by us publishing this, were helping north korea. Were no better than north korea. And did ultrasay that about paula deen or the seahawks owner was she defending all of these individuals who were unfairly tarred with this . I should say, back in 2013, oprah gave an interview to the bbc where she talked about how old racists just need to go off and die. That there is this generation of racists who are just it but theyre old and they just have to go and die. Okay . But i guess the young racists who have big hollywood connections, im not saying their racist, but insensitive comments. Its not the end of the world. But whats revealing is how the left will always circle the wagon for each other and they will never, never give such leeway to anyone who questions them or is a little bit different from them politically. Its the most closed community to diverse thought and politically disaligned thought of any industry i can think of. It is hollywood and maybe the news media. They have revealed their reaction, both sorkin and oprah in their reaction here. Im enjoying it because of their reaction. Not because the original emails. Thanks, laura. Great job. Talk to you soon. Ten minutes after the hour. Ainsley earhart i think is ready to tell us the news. Thats exactly right. We have brandnew disturbing details about the extremists who unleashed australias worst lone wolf terrorist attack. The selfprofessed radical cleric who held 17 people hostage inside that cafe was out on bail after being accused of being an accessory to his exwifes murder. He was also inspired by isis and was responsible for sending hateful letters to the families of fallen australian soldiers. Despite his criminal record, he was not on the countrys terror watch list. He and two of his hostages died during that confrontation. One of the victims, the manager of the cafe, being hailed a hero after he tried to wrestle the gun away from the jihaddist when he was dozing off. And intense manhunt i underway right now for the former marine accused of murdering his exwife and five of her relatives on a shooting rampage in pennsylvania. School in the area are closed today and if you live in that area, youre asked to stay inside. This after Sergeant Bradley stone tried to carjack someone last night. He wound up running into the woods when the driver pulled out a gun and fired at him. This is the first reported sighting of stone since he left his children with a neighbor yesterday morning. And how many people does it take to fly a plane . Nasa thinks just one. Theyre launching a multimillion dollars study to see if its safe to fly a commercial jet with only one pilot at the controls.

Theyre big fans of fox. Were big fans of theirs. Thank you. Coming up, with the ministry what the main stream media wont show you about who was at al sharptons protest this is weekend. We will never get our rights until we stand up. No justice, no peace are they really seeking justice for all . David webb goes inside the protests and it will stun you. And this is not what you want to see this close to christmas. An entire fedex delivery truck toppled about three miles from my house. Could some of those be my gifts . Sorry, steve. But ive managed. E Crohns Disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. The death of eric garner and mike brown sparking protests cross across the country. On saturday thousands lined the streets of new york city and wash ash d. C yesterday hundreds more protested racial profiling at a California Police headquarters. Our next guest says these only distract from the real issues plaguing the black community. Bishop e. W. Jackson is a senior fellow with the Family Research council and a pastor at exodus Faith Ministries and joins us from charlottesville. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Bishop, you say that liberalism is cancerous and devastating to the black family. What are you talking about . First of all, when you replace god with government and you teach people to be dependent upon what government will do for them, when you replace the staple two parent families with subsidies so they depend on the government, youre undermining the foundation of the family, that can make a community strong. So thats what liberalism has done over the last 50, 60 years and its been devastating. Over the weekend, one of the rallies was down in washington, d. C there was another one here and it was organized by al sharpton. David webb, who does some stuff for the channel, went down there and had this observation from one of the protesters. I want you to listen to it. The white man is a primist. We will never get our rights until we stand up. No justice, no peace what do you make of that message . Its preposterous. This is a person who wants to live 150 years ago and i mean no disrespect, but this is a person who needs to go live in africa or one of these countries where total tearian leaders kill people willy nilly. We live in the most wonderful, freest, most prosperous nation on earth and most people in america want to judge others not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Whats your observation about what is going on with these rallyies . Well, theyre degenerating, arent they, because now were calling for we hear people calling for the deaths of police . I want to remind people that during the 911 tragedy, the police were the ones running toward the tragedy to save people. We need to remember how important their service to our community is and start praying for them and uplifting them. Im really tired of hearing these attacks on the police. Its no different than when one black person does something that others think are wrong, they smear the entire community with it. The same thing is being done to the police. Its got to stop. It does have to stop. Bishop jackson, sir, thank you for joining us live today. Thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. Amid all the protest, new york city mayor has a big secret. After the garner chokehold verdict, why he withheld an important report coming up. And talk about the season of giving, a lay away angel anonymously pays off more than 100 toys r us bills.

Im out of stuff to say. Thanks. Talk about the season of giving. An anonymous layaway angel pays off 150 accounts at a massachusetts toys r us. That is 20,000 worth of toys. Joining us now is one grateful recipient and single mom of two kids, emily burlingame. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. I can tell youre still smiling there. We were all touched to hear this. So you work nights. Tell us a little bit about that and you were headed into toys r us to pay off how much was left on your toys r us account . Describe that. I had a little over 200 left on the account. So you were work nights. You had no idea that this was going to happen when you walked in. Describe to us what happened to you when you walked into the store. I walked in and i walked up to the counter and i went to go pay the balance and the lady told me that the account was already taken care of. At first i thought it was a mistake. So i just said no, i still owe a little bit more. And she said no, the layaway angel took care of it. I guess i was kind of in shock. I didnt really understand what she was saying. So she explained it to me that somebody had came in and taken care of all of the layaways and that there was no balance due. I mean, what did that mean to you . I know you have two children and youre just trying o do what any mom wants is take good care of them, by yourself. Your oldest is autistic. What does this mean to you . It means a lot. Its an amazing thing that this person did and it really its affected me. Its affected everybody that i told. Its just a wonderful thing that they did. We see your embrace there right at the counter and then emotion has caught everybodys heart. If you could, and you may never know who this layaway angel is, what would you say . Just thank you and what an amazing thing that this person did. Im sure you guys have the best gift ever. Thats just knowing someone is looking out after you and that youre loved.

If youre a current or former military member or their family, get an Auto Insurance quote and see why 92 of our members plan to stay for life. Its the purple pill, the 1 prescribed acid blocking brand, available without a prescription for frequent heartburn. Get complete protection. Nexium level protection™ shows alqaeda and the alqaeda 2. 0 folks, isil, that were divided and that were easy targets, that we dont have the will to defeat them because thats what they know. In fact, Khalid Shaikh mohammed told me personally, your country will turn on you. The liberal media will turn on you. The people will grow tired of this. They will turn on you. And when they do, you are going to be abandoned. Eerie prophetic moment there, that was James Mitchell who water boarded Khalid Shaikh mohammed. Karl rove was white house chief of staff at the time and joins us now to discuss he was on the staff. Deputy chief. That was answered card and josh bolton. When you hear those words and you hear that Khalid Shaikh mohammed himself said the liberal media will turn on you and know you cant handle this and now its happening. Its also i thought first of all, that was unbelievably powerful television. Im so delighted that dr. Mitchell came forward in a public way he got freed up over the weekend. Look, this is a hero. This is a patriot. This is a man who in a dark moment for our country stepped forward and took extraordinary steps to help keep us safe. But it is also illustrative of the fact that our enemy, Khalid Shaikh mohammed and others, they understand american society. They study american society. They look for he went to college here. And it is we underestimate alqaeda and the terrorists, the jihaddists at our own peril, he was so observant, he knew eventually the leftist media would turn on the good guys and here we are. Remember his initial expectation. When hes captured in pakistan, he taunts his american captors by saying, ill see you in new york with my lawyer present. He thought this was going to be an episode of law and order and he was going to have a high priced defense attorney to get him off. 51 of the American People are for the enhanced interrogation that weve been all hearing about. Theyre for torture, had which is whats described in the poll as. This was not torture. This was carefully designed by the lawyers to be in conformity with our statutes and our international commitments. If you need evidence of that, if you dont want to take my word for it or the word of the attorneys who wrote the office of Legal Counsel opinion, take the word of the holder, Obama Justice department because president obama order holder to investigate it. He appointed a career prosecutor. They spent three years looking over these and found in prosecutable offenses. And if any administration would want to prosecute, it would be this one, but they couldnt find anything. Sure. Last night on the sean hannity program, if you dont watch our prime time, you miss a lot the navy seal who killed osama bin laden, rob oneill, was on and he had he knows something about torture. He had this observation. Listen to this. If you can walk away from it as soon as it ends, its not torture. These are techniques that can be used to find the truth. Rob, i know a lot of my friends have become navy seals and trained military people, they themselves went through many of these techniques that were used on people like ksm. Did you have to go through any of that in your training . Oh, yeah. They use all kinds of techniques on us to make it very, very uncomfortable of the we have stuff called surf torture, drown proofing, things like that. If some of these human watch people saw seal training, theyd probably try to cancel it. If you can walk away from it, it aint torture. Technically thats not accurate because statutorily, is there an imminent threat of death . That would rise to the level of torture. As a result was not involved in the techniques used on these high value targets. But an interesting point, remember, tens of thousands of people in the air force have gone through survival, evasion, resistance and escape, which involves water boarding. The navy seals go through buds training in which theyre subject to do a whole series of things that would violate our statutory requirements. You know what stands out in the report, democratic report, they said, the Bush Administration was both of them came back and said, we knew exactly. There was your out. You could have taken it, but you didnt. How idiotic was that, because in the report, in a footnote, they say, bush was apparently not informed of these techniques until 2006. And yet in his own book issued several years ago and available at any public library, the president outlines how he at the time was advised of the necessity for these, that he ordered it to be reviewed by lawyers, that the option were presented to him, that he said you can use ten of them, but not two others. And authorized this and then describes the advantages of how we got actionable intelligence that kept america safe. This led to jose padilla. This led to stopping the attack on the canary war Business District in london and stopped the attack on heathrow and stopped an attack by a group using airplanes on the west coast of the United States and lots of others that have never become public. The president puts this in his book and these idiots at the Senate Intelligence committee, dont have a library card that allows them to go and find the book to find out that the president knew it. Are you suggesting that the democrat report in the senate is wrong . Yeah. Exactly. My former white house colleague, now columnist for the washington post, had a terrific column this week in which he said, look, Rolling Stone magazine is being excoriated properly for not having sought out the people who were supposedly involved in the rape at the university of virginia, and yet here is the Senate Intelligence committee, same thing. They didnt ask James Mitchell anything. No one. James mitchell is not alone. They talked to no one and they had a phony excuse, well, there was an investigation undergoing. That investigation ended two years ago and people like the directors of the c. I. A. Were not the subject of the investigation. They could have talked to them any time in the last six years where they spent 40 or 50 million of our money on this monkey business. And if alqaeda talked and exposed their plans and plots, they wouldnt have had to go through this. All of these techniques were floyd. They began to talk and cough up Vital Information that kept us safe and keeping us safe today. Majority of americans peel the same way. Thank you for joining us on the curvy couch. Thank you for being here. Weve got Ainsley Earhart with the headlines. A lot of people back there waving at you guys. Hello, everyone. Thanks for watching. Here are the headlines. New york citys mayor has a dirty secret, which is no longer being kept quiet. Turns out bill de blasio ordered city lawyers to stay silent about a lawsuit to keep untaxed cigarettes out of the big apple because it differed from the Public Comments on the eric garner case. Garner died after police who stopped him for selling bootleg cigarettes put him if a choke hold. All of this according to the new york post. After the grand jury decision de blasio said garners criminal activity was a minor offense and reportedly became worried that revealing that he was behind the Ground Breaking lawsuit would look hypocritical. Its a story weve been following closely. Decorated Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance serving a 20 year sentence for opening fire on two men in 2012 and two were killed and lorance was sent to prison for murder. The army said that the men killed that day didnt have ties to terror. Now there is new evidence that has come to light that could prove the men do have terror backgrounds and his lawyers say the evidence should have been revealed sooner. We think that had that evidence been presented to the chain of command and or the jury, that we may never have had a courtmartial or had we had a courtmartial, that the outcome would have been entirely different. Are these your gifts . Theyre spilled all over the highway. A crash in new jersey sending text he had packages flying on the busiest shipping day of the year. A second truck was called in to pick up all the boxes and hopefully prevent delivery delays. It is a heart warming christmas story. A little fouryearolds wish to deliver packages for ups has finally come true. Is this trick or treat again . Its what day . Package day. The little boys fascination with ups started when mr. Ernie was delivering packages in his neighborhood. And just recently he did get the surprise of his life. A brandnew mini ups truck to call his very own. Fouryearold carson kite, his mom, and ups driver, ernest, joined us earlier on fox friends.

We just keep telling carson that he made millions and millions and millions of people smile this Holiday Season. Look at him there. Carsons ups video has gone viral. Viewed now more than 2 million times. He was driving that little car all over the studio and wrecking we heard it in the hallway when youll were still reading the news. You could hear him slamming into the walls. I asked him if i could take a ride, he said i wouldnt fit in the truck. He made a special delivery. He dropped off rice crispy treats. He sure did. Maria molina, when you come in, well give you one. We got kisses for you. Thank you so much. Good morning. We have a good crew here behind us. Not a bad start to the day here in new york city.

It teaches your kids to accept a surveillance state. By the way, where is the elf . He was just here. Where is he . Hard to track. Ive always loved exploring and looking for something better. Thats the way i look at life. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Hello. Im an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. So my buddy here is going to help me find it. Here we go. Woo who, woah, woah, woah.

Were really close to christmas and you ever wonder how does santa know if youve been naughty or nice . The answer is the elf on the shelf. He keeps on eye at night, the elf on the shelf reports to the north pole. Here is the thing, though. While we all love the elf on a shelf, there is a professor at the university of onstereo named laura pinto and she says essentially if you have a elf on the shelf, you your children so that they accept the nsa to spy on you. Theyre going to be okay with this surveillance. She said youre teaching your kids its okay for other people to spy on them and youre not entitled to your privacy, even if grow up thinking its cool for the elf to watch me and report back to santa. Then its cool for the nsa to watch me and report back to the government, end quote. Look, whats your reaction to that . Mike starts us off with this. Its a huge stretch to say it has some government overtone to it. That seems like nonsense. Kathy on facebook says, my grandson loves his. Kids cant be kids anymore because of the liberal professors. Also we asked you to send us your pictures of where your elves are on the shelves and heather tweeted us this one, saying dont shoot your eye out. Another one from james came in saying that the elf and chucky take on frosty. Wow. Thats deep. Right. I like to see where rand paul puts his elf on the shelf because he might agree with this. I will say this, our elves in our house never in the same place twice. Theyre always on the move. Because at night they report back to the north pole and then come home and wake up and go out our elves turn things over a lot of times when we if out. Better watch that. Pranksters. Yes.

President loretta is here and the vp is here with two dogs, shana and lady. Ladys owner passed away and basically when they were vacating the house, they left lady behind. So they called you guys up. No. She was left on the street. It was neighbors who saw her roaming the streets at night reached out. So the neighbors called you . Yeah. So she would wait for garbage night to find food and then finally it was a teenage boy who was able to befriend her. How would you describe lady . Shes an older girl. But shes definitely got some energy and spunk and attitude left. Shes a great girl. One of the first questions i always get r they trained . Yes. Yes. House broken. Very much so. Tell me about your dog. We have shaina, the product of a divorce where neither owner wanted to keep her. She was headed to a municipal shelter where they do euthanasia. And so we were asked to we could intercede and take the dog into our program. We did. So you have six talks. What are the advantages to getting an older dog . Theyve already been usually accustom to do a family. Theyre much calmer. They dont need as much exercise as maybe a younger dog does. They dont need as much training. Many of them are house broken already. Look how calm they are. We had two puppies on yesterday, we still havent recovered. These dogs actually know, hey, these people picked me. In my opinion. Exactly. So you opened up a new center. If people want to say this is my dog, i want lady or the other dog, what do we do . We have a phone at the center.
