up. once again. "fox & friends" begins right now. >> it's "fox & friends". >> there is one day a year where you say i wear a snuggy to work, today would be the day. it is similar. it is cozy. it is like a bath robe. >>clayton: in nome, it is freezing, up there, they cannot get heating fuel. a writer was walking through in a full eskimo outfit. >>dave: we start with the heat of politics down there in south carolina. we are a week out from the south carolina primary and a new direction, now, for newt gingrich. he is calling on all of the inaccurate ads run by the super pac's to be taken off the air to have the false points taken out. perhaps is because he was underfire from all angles on his bain attack. >>clayton: a big problem is the super pac put up a 28 meant film about bain capital and new there have been quite a few people coming out from the film that said i was inaccurately represented and i didn't actually loss my job. and i was promoted when bain came in to our town and i was only laid off later when another company took over so i should be thanking mitt romney for actually giving me a promotion. >>alisyn: newt gingrich is asking them to take out the inaccuracies, at least four major ones and he is asking them to reed it out but not backing down from attacks or criticism from mitt romney's time at bain and wants mitt romney to explain better what he did there. >> the idea that a candidate can make a claim and yell foul the meant you ask him to prove it is just silly. if he can't stand up today and defend his claim how is he going to stand up to obama in the fall? michael to the governor is simple: the only place he worked was bain. he claims he created 100,000 jobs. release the records. show us the facts. you cannot run for president, have half your campaign be about your great achievement and hide them. >>dave: he is talking about the 100,000 jobs created claim that romney made. some say that is not true but there are just in numbers to show how many were created or killed. could it tree? it could but we don't know. as for the super pac ad on bain county, look, it was torn apart and the "washington post" gave it four pinocchios on newt gingrich's attack ads. super pac. >>clayton: have you ever heard of the holson photo albums plant in south carolina? ever heard of it? >>alisyn: i had. >>clayton: many folks in gaston, south carolina, say they have never heard of it but this is at the heart of the bain capital argument that the plant was closed as a result of bain capital taking it over. rick perry among the individuals saying that the residents are in pain because of the closing. >> you go to georgetown, south carolina, a couple of cities where bain capital did come in and destruct the companies. people lost their jobs. i will tell you there is a sensitive issue there. >>alisyn: reporters went to the town of 12,000 people and they started, reporters, asking, and what they found was as you said people don't remember this photo album company. and even if they did remember it they did not see when the plant closed and 150 people lost their job so they did not see that as making a big dent. >>clayton: so rick perry is talking to the individuals and the reports, a number of reporters could not find the individuals. >>dave: john roberts tried to find out how bad the pain was from the closing of the plant. >> i am sure it was painful for those that lost the jobs short-term and had to look for work but looking at the records of what happened 25 years ago it was not a significant economic county. >> he may have come in and tried to streamline it and if it was not feasible to keep it open plants will close. that is how capitalism works. >>clayton: so maybe the bain accusations are not carrying weight. or are they? the new polls show that newt gingrich among some of the attacks has gain ground reminiscent of iowa, 98 percent of all negative ads were targeted against newt gingrich and plummeting in the polls so this impact by newt gingrich and rick perry against romney is having resonance. >>dave: they work. >>alisyn: a new research poll shows that mitt romney at 29 percent. he has been leading. and newt gingrich ticked up to 25 percent and the margin of error is four so they are virtually tied. >>dave: but the poll is an outliar for rick santorum i am not taking a lot of stock in now far they have rick santorum falling. he is at 15 percent in another poll. but no doubt, newt gingrich has risen in the polls, negative ads are run because negative as work and in south carolina they are used to them and they are not as turned off by them. >>clayton: we remember what happened to john mccain dug the election with bush in south carolina and recently huckabee and john mccain so interesting ads and it resonates with south carolina voters and rick santorum upon his former friends he has taken a jab at his former friend on the bain capital and says this about newt gingrich. when he was not leadership of the united states house as speaker throw years in the term conservatives tried to throw him out. alternatives don't go out and attack the capitalist system and alternative dozen not promote global warming or argue for individual mandates for the federal government the he tried to distance himself from the bain capital argument and ron paul, also, distancing himself from this argument. >>dave: so much for the truth. >>clayton: a number of republicans have which willed mitt romney who say he has not answered the question on the tax run, were you making the money at the warren buffett rate return and he did not answer the question on bain capital. >>alisyn: we have another four hours to answer the questions. and now other news and get your headlines, the incredible pictures, this looks like a scene from the movie "titanic," a cruiseliner that began sinking after running aground and ripped 165' gash not hull. people say they heard a round "bang," the ship went dark and glass started flying and 4,200 passengers scrambled to get on boats but they could not get interest them because the tilt was so great. three have died. from iraq homicide bomber killing 3 shiite pilgrims overnight and the victims were on the way to a holy shrine and an insurgent blew himself up the latest in a string of attacks directed at the sight muslim community weeks after troops could see the withdrawal from iraq. the trial against john edwards has been pushed back by at least two months, a judge granted the delay because yes gentleman has a heart condition and the judge said they received notice from the doctors the condition is life threatening, and would require surgery next month, and john edwards faced six felony counts for using campaign money to cover were his affair. >> and good news, the f.d.a. is clearing the way for imported orange juice to enter the country since january 4th after illegal chemical was discovered in juice products. three samples from canada showed no residue and results are pending for 28 other shipments that will take two or three weeks. we will talk to a scientist about the next orange juice scare. >> we need it because it is so cold outside. and now maria, with the cold forecast. maria? >> we are back to reality across the northeast. we have been enjoying the mild temperatures. but now we are looking at winter like weather and we picked up quite a bit of snow yesterday and thursday in chicago and upstate new york and ohio but, today, most of the snow winding down and we have lake effect snow showers through basically the afternoon but they will be moving intensity and decreasing coverage so we will see improvement but lasting through the day and also as we head into the first part of sunday. as we head west, that is where the weather will be concentrated with a series of storm systems impacting the area, and that will bring in cold air and stow as low as sea level in the city of chicago. so want out for dangerous driving conditions. we know people in the west, when it starts to rain and snowing, not too good with driving. >>dave: do you shutter when you pump gas and watch the totals go up? a group of bipartisan senators fear the price could go up as much as a quarter a gallon with new epa regulations. will, >>clayton: they are fearful they could be proposed given the state of the national average at $3.39 right now, the national average. because of sulpher content in the gasoline. they argue that getting rid of the silver fakes the technology which they measure gasoline more effective so it is cleaner air. >>alisyn: so the epa is considering the new regulations and a bipartisan group of senators, from landrieu to inhofe have new sent a letter to the epa saying lebanese -- please don't do this when our economy is suffering. please reconsider. don't make this proposal because they thing it would add something like $17 billion upfront to the industry and the industry would pass that along to us. >>clayton: especially right now with the deep freeze as maria talked about and paying more for heating oil. not at a good time. >>dave: let us know highway you feel, should the regulations take a time out? next, costly attack for rick perry. >> companies like bain capital could come in and help the companies if they were venture capitalists. but they're not. they are vulture capitalists. >> those words helped him lose a top donor and we will hear from the former perry supporter. >> chris christie gets personal with oprah. and tears up.

my guest from young american organization joins us this morning with his perspective. you have created a youth misery index. that sounds positive. explain this. >>guest: well, the youths misery index puts together three variables that hurt young people who take the economy beating. youth unemployment at 17.4 percent. average graduating college at $26,000,300 and national debt each at $46,900, with a massive terrible effect on young people and all three are connected to big government policies so we are trying to do that, work with that. >>clayton: let's be specific on that. critics will say that is not president obama's facility you take out a student loan and you lean college, that is not the administration's part. what do you say? >>guest: for youth unemployment, youth unemployment in the last fur years since the government spending binge has gone up precipitously and that is because of big government because when the government spends ton the industry does not create jobs because they are unionized, seniority-based jobs and a lot of government spending it does thought work. with college debt, the government has now nationalized college debt and has been subsidizing it for years. so it is compared to fannie mae and freddie mac compared to the federal government for student loans, they have been highly subsidized and encouraging young people to get involved in the loans and leaving them out to dry when they graduate. they cannot fine jobs and they are going bankrupt. who is to blame? the easy loan policies and they are college costs going up, twice the rate of inflation, and the government has done nothing about that they give out the loans and funding colleges. national debt it is really clear. >>clayton: many colleges are private and some public what can the government do is say your rates are going up? many argue that is capitalism. >>guest: well, sure, like i said the whole government loan industry is fueling this. and there are no standards with the loans and a lot of the costs are coming because it is easy loan policies and young people can wrack the loans up. if you cannot find a job they going behalf to college. young people are giving up looking for work and going back to graduate school coming from big government spending and the obama administration poor job quality. >>clayton: we heard reports at christmas, 17 percent unemployment, very high among the youth but the white house hoping to get some of the youth vote become because of obamacare. many of the folks who are 26 and under who did not have health care before the white house is hoping because now they now have health care they may, in fact, could come to the polls for president obama. how does that measure up? >>guest: well, the obama administration support has dropped more precipitously as far as the polls go up and 30 percent after the inauguration at 77 percent and now at 48 percent youth approval so obviously the obamacare did not work out well and it will not work out well for young people because they are subsidizing the whole system for those who are not on our parents' plan. we are expected to relow on our parents? it isry -- it is ridiculous much the summer jobs is disingenuous when there are 70,000 only paid positions two years ago they called them "illegal," and now they say these are something we should be happy about. >>clayton: passionate go, thank you for joining us this morning. coming up on the show newt gingrich goes from attack mode to fact checker over anti-romney ads. he captured the country's attention with faith and football but tebow cannot get a church leader to line up behind him. whee wheeeeeeeeeeeee! wheeeeeeeeeeee! whee whee wheeeeeeeeeeee-he-he-heeeeee! whee whee wheeeeeeeeeeee! pure adrenaline. whee whee wheeeeeeeeeeee! everything you love about geico, now mobile. download the new geico app today. whee wheeeeeeeeeeee-he-he-heeeeee! >>dave: tim tebow has captured the country's taxi if you have been living in a cave with the mix of religion and football. as we gear up for the epic playoff game tone a poll shows 43 percent believe god does help tebow win in some regard but does his faiths mean church lowers are lining up behind him in support? and from boston, the vicar says his loyalty is with the patriots. i lived if boston both my kids were born in boston so i sympathize. aren't you compelled, tempted to root for tebow regardless of the patriots because all he has done for good in sports? >>guest: tebow has done a lot of great things for sports. he is a good quaterback. he is a wonderful human being. but i'm the vicar of the old north church the original church of the patriot. "listen my children you shall hear of the football team of paul revere, one if by land and two if sea and the broncos end zone will be." >>dave: i don't remember the football part. interesting reverend from the folks at poll fogs finding that 43 percent of those that responded believe that divine intervention is helping tebow on the football feel s that going too far? >>guest: tebow's faiths certainly helps him be a better football player and i add hire what he does before and after every football game with bringing somebody who is severely ill in and focusing on that and on his faith and that is a great discipline. if we could do that in our daily like we would be better in our profession. >>dave: i am not spiesed -- surprised at outpouring of support. i am surprised at the anger and animosity this guy inspires. i can't quite figure out. why do you think as much support as he has gotten he has made folks angry and rooting against him? >>guest: i don't know why people have to get so angry. this is only a football game. i don't think god really wagers on one side or another, one team or another. there are christians on every team, good muslims and jews, as well but those who are uncomfortable with religion are uncomfortable with the public displays but that has been going on for years. maybe in football since it is a team shot we should not have any individual public displays. >>dave: i have my orange tie on this morning, i am from denver. we will talk tomorrow morning to see how it goes down. have fun. like a scene from "titanic," a cruise ship goes aground with thousands of passengers on ground turning deadly. and talk about luck, a christmas visit to new york turns out to be a payday for a california couple. that story ahead. each. looks and fits like underwear. each. same great protection. depend®. good morning. great day. for just a little money? let's start with a paint we know can do the job. new glidden duo paint plus primer. ♪ one coat does double duty. ♪ and fits our budget perfectly. so there's a brand-new room right where the old one used to be. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. new glidden duo paint plus primer only at the home depot and starting at only $24.97 a gallon. my son and i never missed opening day. but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps ificantly improve my lung function, srting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort, today m breathing beer, and at means... game on! symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye oblems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it.

"fox & friends" guest is next. contain yourself, "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >> i am congressman ron paul and you are watching "fox & friends" this morning. >> hi congressman. >>dave: 76 years old and he is getting the lion's share of the youth vote. >>alisyn: we will show you those numbers. >>clayton: and the only other candidate beside mitt romney to have gained vote share since iowa moving into new hampshire. >>alisyn: we have a lesson on whether to trust political ads. because they are riddled win accuracies. you may recall newt gingrich spent much of the week calling on mitt romney to correct the super pac added released about newt gingrich where he says there is a gross mischaracteration of him being fine the money and he wanted mitt romney, but mitt romney says i don't control the super pac that is a different set people. i don't control anything they do. now, newt gingrich finds himself in the same bind because the super pac has released an ad with gross inaccuracies about mitt romney. >>dave: it is called "the king of bain," inspecting mitt romney's time at bain capital as a venture capitalist, private equity guy. the "washington post" handed that ad four pinocchios which southeast massive inaccuracies and the ad was torn apart by a fact checker for ling you astray throughout the entire thing. >> some have been fired or lost their job as a result of bain capital coming to their town and that was not the case when bain capital was there, they got job promotions and not until another company took them on they lost their job. newt gingrich not backing off of the attacks on mitt romney for wanting him to release records from bain capital. he is not the only one. >> the idea that a candidate can make a claim and yell foul the meant you ask him to prove it, is silly. if he cannot stand up today and defend his claim how will he stand up to obama in the fall? so my challenge to the governor is simple: the only place he worked was bain. he claims he created 100,000 jobs. release the reports. show us the facts. you can't run for president, have half your campaign be about your great achievements and hide them. >>alisyn: rick perry has gone after mitt romney's time at bain and called it vulture capitalism opposed to venture capital emand a biggest financial backers in south carolina who himself is a venture capitalist, in private equity, doesn't like that line of attack and he has withdrawn the financial support we had him on "fox & friends" earlier. >> this is class envy. and and envy is a tool of the democrats not the republicans. when you go after the principle we have been fighting for, free market capitalism the solution to economic growth and solution of so many problems, going after the system itself is anathema to what the republican party is about. >>dave: it is a positive attack that newt gingrich is calling for truth in the ads, but it could be a little too little too late after the lies have been spread. >>clayton: and the candidates who can say i can step back and we saw what is happening with colbert making fun of the super pac process, and all candidates saying they are filled with inaccuracies and south carolina is touted as a "victim," in the bain firing and it is ground zero for all of the people would lost their jobs. but there is a problem. the people there do not remember any of the firings and do not remember the photo scrapbook plant that was allegedly closed down. >>alisyn: that is different from what rick perry said on fox where he talked to martha saying if you want to see the underbelly of vulture capitalism, just go to south carolina where 150 people were fired or georgetown, south carolina. >> go to south carolina, a couple of cities there where bain capital came in and destructed the companies and people lost their jobs, i will tell you it is a sensitive issue in those places. >>dave: we took his advice and we went to south carolina. here is what we found out. >> i am sure it was painful for those that lost their jobs. i am sure they had to look for work. but looking at the records of what happened 25 years ago county it was not a significant economic impact to the county. >> he may have come in and tried to streamline it and if there was not a feasibility to keep it open, plants closed. >>alisyn: it was not a significant impact and most cannot remember it. will >>dave: and the local newspaper cannot find one story written on the closing of this factory. >>clayton: and we looked at the in new polls to see how the negative ads are doing with gingrich climbing up in the polls. negative ads work because now it is a tie for first place in south carolina. >>alisyn: if you give the credit to the negative ads and you think newt gingrich is ticking up in the poll because of the negative ads they work. he blamed it in way way 98 percent of the negative ads in iowa and he stayed is why you had a precipitous drop. >>dave: rick santorum is doing better in most polls than that poll, at 15 percent. >>alisyn: and now the other news. live images from italy. look at this! this is like a scene from "titanic," but real life. imagine 4,200 passengers trying to get off this singing cruise ship after it runs aground off the coast of italy. people heard a loud "bang," and the ship went dark. passengerred scrambled to get on boats but the coast guard said throw have died and they are searching the ship for anyone that could be trapped. and an update to a story with we have followed from iraq word that 50 shiite pilgrims remain killed by a bomber overnight up from the 30 deaths reported an hour ago. the victims were on the way to a holy shrine and a terrorist blew himself up. this is the latest in a string of attacks directed at the shiite muslim community weeks after u.s. troops completed their withdrawal from iraq. >> joran van der sloot sentenced to 28 years in peru prison for the murder of a young woman but he could head to the united states instead. tones for natalee holloway's mother hope to extradite him on extortion charges. he offered her mother $25,000 in exchange for the location of the body but he took the cash and ran off to peru. >> a couple has $280 million reasons to be smiling, the winners of the massive powerball jackpot and the timing could not be better because they are expecting their first child. >> you don't believe it the first few days and it settled in and you start to enjoy it. feeling so lucky. >> now they can get a berthing suite. they are actually from california, they were just in new york visiting family for the holidays when he decided to buy the lottery ticket on a while. is that fair? can they be disqualified? we deserve that ticket? >> new yorkers deserve that ticket. >> all right. >> $208 million will about cover everything. >> this is the week for the big consumer electronics show. >>alisyn: you were great. >> the gadget have been and i saw a lot stuff we will see by midsummer or christmas, innovations, and now a wrap up of the big hits. a samsung voice command television a big story, control the tv with your hand. recognizes your voice. you walk up and say hi tv and you can say watch "fox & friends" and it will switch channels and has face recognition good for parental controls so your kids are thought watching late night hbo. it recognizes your voice so if it is a loud voice they are still working on that. but it is cool. that could be the future. and another part of the story is the way gadgets interact with humans from sharp. you know the white board in offices? karl rove. this is the new version from sharp, the smart board virtual conferencing. you can touch the screen. write on it. have video conferencing, pull up maps and information. the price tag is $13,000: just a marker on a white board. in a hospital it could be great. this is cool, gadgets being smarter this year was the team, allure energy company did something cool. thermostat has speakers built in so you can play music on the thermostat and it knows where you are by g.p.s. on your phone so if i am 20 miles away it will cool my house down when i am getting closer to town it sees i am ten miles to home and it will warm it up. >>alisyn: this has voice activation and dave and i could argue. make it hotter. >>dave: cool it down when i am closer. >>clayton: and the ion guitar learner by ipad. you can struck and learn how to lay a guitar, using the ipad. not just hitting grown and red buttons like guitar hero. >>alisyn: look how cool clayton looks. he is jamming on guitar. and the head phones later, my favorite devices was the we head phones which were incredible blue tooth head phones from the same company that make as drone which is the 2.0 drone. i showed you the 1.0 drone at christmas, for kids, and this is 2.0 and does back flips with a high definition camera built into it, so little brothers want to spy on each other. that is a wrap up from the computer show in 2012. >> some tea partyers are mind mitt romney and others are failing to jump on board. what does it take to sway them?

"product of the usa." >>alisyn: and hopefully it is good. where does honey come from? >>guest: a lot coming in from asia. they banned honey coming from china because they found heavy metals and antibiotics that have been used to treat disease in honey bee so we don't allow honey from china but they ship it to other countries and it is transshipped. and we get it. allegation it says number one america's choice so does that mean it comes from america? >>guest: no, it should say "product of." so it shows you in the small print where it comes from. but at least it says it. tomatoes and peppers, if women remember, throw years ago in 2008 it was a huge outbreak of salmonella, over 1,300 people were sickened and they thought it was tomatoes but it was traced to peppers from mexico. hot peppers. >>clayton: and "product from mexico," a small label on the side. >>guest: at least people with the orange just, if you are concerned you can look at the juice, see where it comes from or buy organic because they do not use those. >>alisyn: make sure you are buying produce and products when you can from the united states. thank you, michael, thank now educating us. we had no idea. >>clayton: coming up the candidates are in an all out fight in south carolina, if mitt romney picks up a third primary win is it all over?

>>guest: the project should have been called the "american red tails," because often people see it and they hear the red tails and they anyone of the black pilots but these were american pilots so to be able to feel the page of history torn out or that has been skipped it is amazing feel, and right new the amount of awareness for the film is so huge, in all films i have been apart of nothing has felt this important and this special. >>dave: but it wasn't easy for the tuskegee airmen and george lucas had to put $100 million of his own money into this and now, the president screened it last night at white house, how does that feel that it is now getting this kind of reception? >>guest: like i said before, out of the 50 film i have done in my life nothing has gained this amount of attention and i sat before george h. bush a couple of days ago and we watched it together with barbara and she was crying at the end of it, so, it literally feels so much bigger than what we expected it to be. especially with george being involved, we thought it would be just be a little nice film but it has exploded on to the world scene. >>alisyn: how did you get the part? >>guest: i talked on george at an award academy in 2006, george lucas, mr. lie -- lucas and he said he was doing the roth and i waited six months and i didn't hear, and i had my agent call in 2007 and 2008 and in 2009 it came into being. >>clayton: for students history with may not be aware of the tuskegee airmen, how important is the tuskegee airmen important to history and world war ii? >>guest: the person i depicted in the film, he spearheaded the move toward designature griggs -- desegregation of the military loading to the desegregation of the south and of most of the businesses. so we would not have the equality we have today without their accomplishments but the "red tails," they were responsible for clearing the benches of normandy so the troops could get on and invade. >>clayton: on a foggy morning when no one could see the ground flying intoing for, rain and mist to clear the beeps. >>guest: and one of the good things as they had about two years of practice before they would get into the fight and the white pilots had three months and were shipped out so by the time they got into the fight, they were aces and they were so discipline asked they would never leave the sight of the bombers which made the difference in the war and gave the allies the opportunity to be confident about what they were about to accomplish. >>dave: was had a special bond? the military has always bonded but in the group there seems a different type of camaraderie. >>guest: the "red tails," knowing they were fighting two wars, the war of racism and the war against fascism ultimately having to stand together and needing each other for the encourage president -- encouragement, 19 and 20-year-old kids accomplishing so were more. they never went into the military to become pilots they went to school to become doctors and lawyers but you had to have gone to college to be brought into the program and they turned out to be incredible pilots. >>alisyn: thank you, terrence howard, the movie is "red tails." >>dave: opens friday. john 20th. >>clayton: still ahead, a scene from "titanic," panic on a cruise ship water comes pouring in and starts to sink the cruise liner. what's going on? we ordered a gift oine and we really need to do something with it... i'm just not sure what... what is it? oh just return it. returning gifts is easier than ever with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. plus i can pick it up for free. perfect because we have to get that outta this house. c'mon, it's not that... gahh, oh yeah that's gotta go... priority mail flat rate shipping starts at just $4.95. only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship and return. >>alisyn: good morning, everyone, saturday, january 14th, newt gingrich calling on super pac's supporting him to correct inaccuracies in an anti-romney ad. but with him atop the polls or neck and neck is the damage already done? we will see. >>dave: chris christie weighing in on president obama. >> those would underestimate president obama unestimate him at their own peril. he is as good a politician as i have seen. >>dave: was the new jersey governor set about mitt romney that may surprise you. more from chris christie ahead. >>clayton: these girls have not seen their military mom for six months. until now! but mom and her two daughters join us like on the show. "fox & friends" in hour three starts right now. >> you are watching "fox & friends" the best show on news television. >>alisyn: good morning, everyone, great to have you with us. dave andally -- dave and clayton. not necessarily should you trust political ads that are blanketing the airways right now. when they say at the end of the ad "i'm mitt romney and i approved this ad," you think you can trust it but they are pac's and they don't do that. >>clayton: they were being mocked on comedy shows of the collusion between the campaigns and the super pac's that exist. what does that mean? newt gingrich is calling on super pac that is supporting him, he wants them to correct inaccuracies in the 28 minute film that blasts mitt romney on his bain capital tomorrow. he goes through a number inaccuracies and we can talk about that. >>dave: the "washington post" and another labeled the ad very, very misleading to say the very least. here is newt gingrich calling for truth in the super pac ads. >> the idea that a candidate can make a claim and yell foul the minute you ask him to prove it, is just silly. to he cannot stand up today and defend his claim how does he stand up to obama in the fall? so my challenge to the governor is simple: the only place he worked was bane. he claims he created 100,000 jobs. release the records. show us the facts. you can't run for president, have half your campaign be about your great achievements and hide them. >>alisyn: there are no records. the amount of jobs created, those numbers are fudgible and all over place and mitt romney says 100,000 and at time he had said 10,000. but what is continue any, people have called newt gingrich and rick perry have called for mitt romney to come out and tell us the truth but he has not had to because reporters have fact checked all of this including fact checking what he really did at bain and it turns out reporters are doing his job and he is come willing out looking good as a result. when you fact check. >>clayton: we had barry win a financial advisor to governor leadership and he says he has pulled his support of governor rick perry as a result of rick perry's comments about it being "vulture capitalism," and we had him on the show this morning talking about this expense. listen. >> class envy and class envy is a tool of democrats not the republican party. when you actually go after the principle that we have been fighting for which is free market capitalism being the solution to economic growth just going after the system itself is really anathema to what the republican party is all about. >>clayton: are the attacks working? the attacks in newt gingrich in iowa we saw that, and a viewer from south carolina says everyone here is still sold on newt in myrtle beach. so the polls are interesting. neck and neck and virtually tied for first place. >>alisyn: newt is now at 25 percent, and something is working for him in south carolina. ron paul has also ticked up, and rick perry has gone down in south carolina. so, this is just the latest poll. >>dave: most have rick santorum higher than that and rick perry lower than that and that could be, something to do with rick santorum and where he stands. some thought had could be a truce between newt gingrich and rick santorum to take on mitt romney and that not what is happening in the palmetto stake because rick santorum taking on newt saying "when newt was in leadership in the united states house of representatives as speaker three years into the term conservatives tried to throw him out." conservative alternatives don't go out and attack the capitalist system as he has done. conservatives don't promote global warming oring a for individual mandates for the federal government on health care. >>alisyn: and oprah and chris christie have had a sit down, and it is very interesting. the new jersey governor will be on tomorrow tight at 9:00 p.m. on oprah's network. they covered from their struggles with weight loss, which they have been candid about, to, of course, politics and here is chris christie talking about mitt romney and then president obama and what he, how he faults him. >> he has the knowledge and expense, the question, the challenge for mitt, can he connect with the american people in a way that convinces them he will trust him. those would underestimate president obama under estimate him at their peril. he is as good a politician as i have we seen. and, so, where there are shortcomings in governing. >>clayton: oprah gets a lot of people to cry, to tear up, when she sits down with him. >>alisyn: barbara walters does, but oh raw -- oprah does, also and she got him to tear up about hi mom and his struggles she had. take a listen. >> she was dying and it was her last couple of days, in and out of things and i sat there for a while and she came to and she said, what day is it, and i said, it's friday and she said what time is it and i said 9:30 not morning. and she said go to work. and i said, mom, i'm taking the day off to visit with you. and she said, go to work it is where you belong, and i said mom, i'll make up the time don't worry and she reached over and grabbed my hand and she said go to work it is where you belong this is nothing leften said between us. >>dave: he has a soft spot. we all do >>alisyn: and he tells a story of what attracted him to his wife, she suggest when they were in college at university of delaware they break into the school cafeteria and steal the doughnuts and it was love from that moment on, a girl that spontaneous and fun loving and loves doughnuts. >>clayton: but, first, the head lines. >>alisyn: a live look at a tragedy unfolding in italy. imagine being one of 4,000 passengers trying to get off this sinking cruise ship. it ran aground on the sound off the coast and the people heard a loud "bang," the lights went out and glass was flying. the coast guard said three dies and 69 are thought accounted for. new video from iraq, a him side bomber killing 53 shiite pilgrims and leaving dozens fighting for their lives near the city of basra overnight. the victims on the way to a he through shrine and a terrorist disguised as a police officer blew himself up the latest in a string of attacks directed at the sheet muslim community weeks after the u.s. troops come letted their withdrawal from iraq. the trial against former presidential candidate john edwards has been pushed back by two months reportedly because he had a heart condition. a source says john edwards might require a pacemaker and a judge granted thedly after the doctors reportedly told him the condition is slow threatening, and john edwards needs the surgery. he faces six felony and misdemeanor counts for using campaign money to cover up his affair. >> terrified time after a truck hits a car with her mother and her two daughters pushing it over the edge of a california freeway bridge. you can see they were dangling from the bridge and they had to wait an more for crews to get them out of the wreckage. the woman and two girls age ten and ten weeks old were pulled to safety. the truck had plunged into the croak below following the crash and the driver died at the scene. that is terrifying video. right there. >> rick is off this morning and he picked the right day to take off. we kept you inside, maria. >>guest: this time around this 20 minutes i am headed back out, and, guys it is chilly, 29 is the temperature but with the wind we will show you the wind chill but eight degrees in minneapolis and 22 in rapid city and 36 in kansas city and in florida we have chilly temperatures with the current temperature at tampa at only 43 and in orlando current temperature is then. wind chill across the northeast is 23 this income city and single digits across upstate new york and did below zero in burlington, vermont, so bundle up and, yes that is chilly but that is more typical to what we experience in john so it is cold but it is john and we are in winter and some spots are looking at temperatures up to ten degrees below average, and as we head west that is where the warmth is, up to 15 degrees above average in parts of montana and wyoming and colorado. so they enjoy warmer weather than we are seeing across the northeast. but, we had a storm system head to the northeast thursday and friday and the great lakes. up to 1' of snow in massachusetts and upstate new york getting 6" or 8" of snow, and today, lingering lake effect snow showers wiping down at 3" to 6" locally. check the wind chill temperatures out. they will be quite cold. casey allegation -- >>alisyn: coming up, a win in south carolina would seal mitt romney as the republican nominee but a south carolina congressman joe wilson will weigh in on that. >>clayton: remember when amount li stepped out on the streets of new york city in her pajamas? in one stated she could be breaking the law.

gosh, a brave new world. watching your sisters with their kids, juggling them, how hard was it? >>guest: hard but the great thing is they had a flexible schedule when they had a few minutes here and there they were able to get whatever needs to be done. >>alisyn: and that is the key, right? times when you have kids it is hard to be anywhere from exactly 9:00 to 5:00 p.m. >>guest: it allows a

is trying to merge several federal organizations which will be weird when a guy comes to the door, file, here is your mail. >>alisyn: there is some redundancy in many organizations. white house officials knew of the plan of solyndra to fire workers according to newly released e-mails. >>dave: peter has the details. always friday evening on a holiday weekend. >>peter: on october 27th, the white house knew that solyndra who they gave $353 million to was having major issues but they kept the news quiet and now we have an e-mail from a white house aide to the director of energy and climate change policy that says here is the deal: solyndra will announce they are laying off 200 of the 1,200 workers. that is not good. the chairman of the house energy and commerce committee have responded saying that the sad truth is solyndra loan was tainted by stimulus politics from the out set rushed owe the door over the roasts of the administration's top expert, layoffs delayed until after the elections indefensible loan restructuring that left taxpayers on the hook for half a billion. but in a letter to the committees the white house counsel made clear they think there is no support for the allegations of political favoritism and improper white house interference that was the noble focus of the committee concerns. the chairman of the house oversight committee disagrees. >> one thing that bothers me the most is they were more concerned about whether news of solyndra's layoffs would come out before the midterm elections than about whether their plan to finance companies like this if they were not providable was good. >>peter: a lot of other stimulus money is still out there so congressman issa said if those loans do not default they were still inappropriate and he is blaming that on favoritism. >>alisyn: thank you, peter. and now the headlines. this morning, four presidential candidates will be missing from the virginia g.o.p. primary ballot. a federal judge denied candidates rick perry, newt gingrich, rick santorum and huntsman the request to be added saying they waited too long to challenge the law. rick perry sued after failing to submit enough valid signatures to get on the ballot for the march 6 primary. will others later joined the lawsuit and only ron paul and mitt romney qualify with this word on if they will appeal. >> former mississippi governor is stirring up controversy in the final days in office. he granted pardons or clemency to more than 200 convicts some freed or convicted killers. family members of the victims are outraged but he says he is comfortable with the actions and stressed the pardons are valid. >> most christians believe in forgiveness and in second chances. >>alisyn: the attorney general called the pardons "shameful," and now the new movie "red tails," tells the story of the tuskegee airmen, the first all black squadron of american fighter pilots. we specific to oscar-nominateed actor terrence howard. >> it should have been called the american red tails because people thing of the black pilots but these were american pilots so to be able to feel the page of history that has been ton out or that has been were skipped is amazing. >>alisyn: and it opens friday january 20th, and very dashing looking. we wordier what hugh hefner would say, a lawmaker is looking to outlaw pajamas in public saying he decided to push for the ban after seeing a group of young people carrying their pajamas at walmart. he felt they didn't leave much to the imagination. now, strangely, i also wear my pajamas in midtown manhattan. they are comfortable, and a fashion statement. i scared the tax drivers, they would not pick me up when i did this. >>clayton: i am surprised usually they would stop. >>alisyn: they sped away. deaf dave they figured you had no cash to pay the bill because they saw no purse. >>alisyn: the camera may also have scared them. >>dave: clayton and i wear pajamas to work. >>clayton: the bottoms of pajamas. >>dave: maria is here for rick and is outside. where it is freezing. >>guest: it is cold. 28 degrees in new york city and with the wind the wind chill temperature is 22 degrees and i confirm it feels like that, very cold out here you need your jacket. as far as the weather in the northeast it will stay chilly and tonight, big game, denver versus new england, and i will be rooting for tebow, of course, tonight at 8:00 p.m. with temperature at kickoff at 23 degrees but it will be dropping throughout the game so it will be cold. with the wind, the wind chill temperature will feel like it is in the teens, 15- to 25-miles per hour wind otherwise the headlines, chilly and brisk across the northeast and we will be looking at lake effect snow that will wind down across interior northeast and across the northwest it will get unsettled, guys, we could see snow down into sea level in the city of seattle, guys, so looking at chilly weather there and unsettled. >>clayton: but i like unsettled weather during the no one playoffs. >>dave: you are not watching playoffs you are watching the hung bow show with the presidential candidates and we will talk about that in a moment but first we are a week away from the south carolina primary but the 2008 south carolina primary is being talked a lot about because of a back-and-forth between fred thompson, john mccain, and governor huckabee. here is what started all of this from john mccain and thompson. >> i respect him but that is totally false, it is totally patently false, and for him to say something like that, maybe makes him feel better but it is not the truth. >> you know, what mike just said is fine but for one anything, this is not one shred truth to it. yom kippur and i never had a conversation about staying in the race, staying out of the race. >>alisyn: and governor huckabee, we bring him in to answer what he just heard his friend john mccain and thompson say. governor? >>governor huckabee: good morning. how are you? >>alisyn: not that one shed of truth to your theory they colluded to split the vote? >>governor huckabee: i have been called worse than a liar byally ton and dave, so, it is okay and i am fine with that. >>dave: not on camera! >>governor huckabee: not on camera in the halls. this happened as a result of four years ago that was the rumor, and, three different staffers for the john mccain campaign told build my campaign chairman that is what happened. i thought it was a brilliant political move on their part, shrewd, intelligent, and i complimented them for a great tactic. so i apologize for thinking they were that smart. >>clayton: the idea of splitting the vote and in 2008 we are talking about that because could it help again in 2012 splitting the vote in south carolina, what does it mean? >>guest: >>governor huckabee: it is why it was brought up, that is so long ago it doesn't matter, but it does matter in the contempt of the election because a lot of people are saying, is there anyway that anyone can overtake romney, and the question is, if the choice is between mitt romney and someone other than romney but the someone other than mitt romney ends up being three or four people where the vote is splintered then million will win not just south carolina but, probably, florida and the nomination. so, the question is, is there aniest, ability, or desire to coalesce around one candidate who provides the contrast or the comparison to mitt romney and that is even what is going on in a lost conservative circles, a lot of people who for whatever republican, maybe say, gee, we don't want mitt romney, that's where the issue is, do they pick newt? do they pick santorum? huntsman? ron paul? rick perry? those are the obligations. >>dave: you will speak to the candidates and they will interact with undecided voters because this are so many undecided in all of states. what is the most important thing from the voters? is it the elect billed or what is the one factor? >>guest: well, that is one of the reasons we think the forum is so important because the questions are being raised by voters in south carolina, who have designated themselves as undecided. they will come with the questions that will help them decide we think it will be very instructive to other south carolina voters and to voters around the country so they can see the candidates in a very different for mat, that the candidates do not appear together and they cannot attack each other or mention each other they have to address the questions posed. they are not given a clock in terms you have to answer this question in 30 seconds but, all of them have exactly the same amount of time to respond to questions that will be posed bird the undecided voters. congressman scott representing this district has regular townhalls and we are come boyneing our -- combining our show with the beautiful ton hall in the college of charleston and it will be a very significant, significant night for people with have yet to make up their mine. cy clay the last forum you called was called the most substantive of the entire debate process and we will be looking to see that today in south carolina, the governor will stick around with us and talk more politics. >>alisyn: and talk about tebow because he has taken the country by storm, now a household name, he is a verb. what does this say about our country? the governor will talk with us about that. >>dave: a soldier surprised her children and she and her two daughters join

the field. even alisyn. what does that say about our culture? in this country? and now weighing in is governor huckabee. governor, i am curious as much as folks have supported him there is a lot of anger and hate. what does that say about our country? >>governor huckabee: well, for 2th years -- 2,000 years people have been hating an expression of love of jesus. but what i find amazing why would people have a problem with a young man who promotes something that every parent who want if his children? that is, deep sense of love of family, faith in god, commitment and discipline to be a sense of humility. i would think that would be a parents' dream to raise a young man as much like tim tebow not because he wins but because he competes with his heart and he does not call attention to himself and his ability but he calls his attention to god. it is refreshing. i would love do see a poeter of him in every child's room opposed to a guy who is bothering children out of wedlock and being busted for drugs. this is a nice thing to be controversial. >>alisyn: all thing he does off the field, he cares for people who are suffering, or sick and gives them this v.i.p. treatment, flies them in, and that is also very beautiful. governor, we want to ask you about the evangelical leaders that get together and they are getting together to try to see if they can zero in on a candidate they like best. are they still casting about for someone other than romney or getting more comfortable with romney? >>guest: well this meeting is probably not going to result in sort of the great road to damascus moment. i don't see it. in large measure because there is a lost christian organizations who are already invested in a candidate. some are with perry, some with santorum, some are ron paul and some are ron paul and why see them abandoning the guy they committed to and if they did here is the problem. they have waited so late to make this decision their state wednesday will not necessarily follow them because their constituents have already invested in candidates and decided they will support someone, and they will not change just because the leaders of an organization they support has said, well i have decided i will support newt gingrich or rick santorum or rick perry or mitt romney. >>clayton: get a calendar. it is late in the election season right now. i agree. get a calendar. but --. >>governor huckabee: get a clock tonight. >>clayton: the huckabee for rum, number two from south carolina withen decided voters and candidates, another discussion of the issues. nice

their birthdays and being away for homecoming how difficult is it being away from the two girls? >>guest: my goodness, i treasure every moment we have together and to be away from them was heartbreaking and i can remember christmas day thinking when is this day going to be over. i missed birthday. i missed homecoming. everything we used to do together particularly for the senior year, so, i'm so happy to be back, so pleased to be back, and i am flood to be able to hug and kiss them and we are just getting back to our normal routine. dave day you are twins with twin gpa's of 3.6, and another surprise was $20,000 to each new scholarship money. what does that mean to both of you? >>guest: well, it means a lot. it will help ploy family in being able to put us to college especially since they have to put two people to college at the same time. so, it will be a major help and i appreciate it so much. >>dave: what kind of roll mold -- role model been? >> amazing. she

>> well, we did, we went and we beinged liao-- we looked at the plant and pictures of it. it's been a bic pen plant since it was closed employs 80 people. who wholesome burns that made photo albums and scrap books. people said there was little economic impact from that plant can closing and the economy was better then than it is now and most if not all of those jobs were reabsorbed for other companies and they think the most part it's a dead issue and a major article in newspaper and people in the town are saying, huh? what issue, nobody's remembering anything about it, and apparently back at the time, there was not even one drop of earning, according to another publication, that was spent on talking about that they think closing down. so for the folks in gaffney, it does seem to be a nonissue so a lot of people fairly puzzled exactly what rick perry was going after for that line of attack. >> alisyn: that explains why he's retired it since then. >> reporter: if it don't work, put it back in your pocket. >> alisyn: thanks for the info, john. >> clayton: thanks, john. mitt romney, who is sharing that lead statistically if you look at one new poll we showed you earlier with newt gingrich at 29% is bringing out the big guns. he's gotten endorsement of nicky haley the governor, and ambassador bolten 0en his behalf and senator john mccain and throwing support and pulling out in south carolina to show support for him. >> dave: the big question, do the endorsements really help? there's been a new research, a new study from pew research, that shows that there's not a huge difference maker out there, because, chris christie was thought to be the one that really would move the political needle for mitt romney, and his campaigning may make a difference, but the endorsements alone don't seem to be making much of a deference. here is a look at the numbers. from pew, there is a couple of endorsements that appear to mean an awful lot. the numbers are-- >> george w. bush and sarah palin are the two on the top of the charts that would make you more likely to vote for a candidate, but look at the bottom. those are small pictures, but they are john mccain, herman cain, and donald trump at the very bottom in terms of-- >> well, look at the numbers. >> dave: swaying. >> alisyn: even at the top, george bush and sarah palin not that different and notice that they're significance. most people say it makes no difference in how they vote. 59%, 64%, makes no deference. you don't know if people are being honest, if subliminally, i like this candidate, i can't put my finger on it, but i like this candidate. if that's what it does or people aren't registering. >> like in certain poll questions, do you read a book a week and people go, you know, i do and like aspirationally answer certain poll questions and you're right, according to the research they think they may be overstated numbers, people like to think that they're independent minded. if president george w. bush comes out and makes an endorsement, that's not going to sway my opinion i'm an independent minded individual. >> alisyn: and pull the lever. >> dave: one coveted endorsement despite the numbers is jeb bush as we move toward the florida primary on the 31st. that will be interesting. thought to be a supporter of mitt romney, and we'll see, see if that makes a difference. does it matter to you, the these endorsements? we're at ff weekend on twitter, and e-mail. >> alisyn: a lot of news to tell you about. we have a brand new fox news alert. amateur video into the news room we're about to show you moments after that cruiseship began sinking off the coast of sus tuscany, let's listen to the terrified passengers? >> oh, my gosh. >> didn't want to yell it out loud and (bleep). >> this is not happening. it's not happening. . >> wow, that's scary and trying to keep their cool and not terrify everybody, at least 4200 people scrambled to find life boats after the scrip ran aground and the aftermath this morning, it ran aground on a sand bank and now we're hearing reports there were americans on board, but the exact number of remains unclear. and right now the coast guard says at least three people have died, but 69 others are still unaccounted for at this hour. we will keep you posted. we're also getting brand new video out of iraq. a homicide bomber killing at least 53 shiite pilgrims overnight and dozens more in critical condition. the victims on their way to a holy saline near bazra. an insurgentdy-- insurgent disguised as a police officer blew himself up. joran van der sloot sentenced to 28 years in a peruvian prison for the murder of stephanie flores, but it looks like he could be headed to the u.s. instead. attorneys for natalee holloway's mother hoping to extradite him on extortion charges. authorities say he offered beth holloway, $25,000 in exchange for the location of natalee's body. instead, he took that cash and ran off with it to peru. this couple has about 208 million reasons to be smiling this morning. you're looking at daniel and christine bruckner, the winners of the massive power paul jackpot and couldn't be better, because they have a baby on the way. >> and you don't believe it and then, then it starts to settle in a little bit and you start to be able to enjoy it, and just feeling so lucky. >> well, listen to this, they're from california and visiting in new york and visiting family for the holidays when daniel decided to buy the lotto ticket on a whim. i mean, i'm not sure that that's legal. we should look into that. >> dave: don't go having a baby showers, the guests won't take well to that if you're wanting gifts. >> alisyn: give your guests gifts at the baby shower. >> dave: good point. >> clayton: let's check with maria molina in with rick reichmuth with the cold forecast. >> we're looking at chilly temperatures and all things to a strong system that roped into the northeast and behind it chilly temperatures. we took up quite a bit of snow from the system thursday into friday and parts of massachusetts and upstate new york shy of a foot and further off to the west leak the city of chicago we picked up significant snowfall, between five to eight inches across that area and temperatures cooler today across parts of the northeast, back to what's more typical in january and westward across ohio and indiana, up to 10 degrees below average and again, an end to the mild weather that we've been seeing, as we head westward we're looking at temperatures warmer than typical for this time of the year, up to 15 degrees above normalment now, today's forecast for the northeast, a chilly one, temperatures are chilly and looking at windy conditions and that will make it feel a lot colder. further off to the south, beautiful weather, texas in the 60's with a lot of sunshine, guys e thanks so much, maria. talking windy cold weather for some nfl football. >> alisyn: you're looking forward to it. >> clayton: on the couch. >> dave: mitt romney is catching flak for time at bain capital. are the attacks hurting the republican party or could they help romney as some have speculated?

let's ask steven hays, senior writers for the weekly standard. steven, nice to see you. >> good, clayton, how are you. >> clayton: looks like newt gingrich is tricking up a little bit in the poll. are they have an effect? here is the latest poll. >> too early to tell whether there's a cause-effect with the polls? the broader argument doesn't help mitt romney. we've had a series of attacks and criticisms from newt gingrich and rick perry and huntsman and others, and unresponded. i think the romney campaign found their footing and found a way to respond that tells a different side of the story and put out the add, talks about the jobs created with staples, which is a company that people are familiar with, or sports authority, and people can understand, if you make these initial investments and you create a company like that, it's going to lead to job and they've done an effective jobs leading to attacks. >> clayton: there's been criticism, as you well know, whether or not he's answered the bain krit searches effectively and weem want to see the records, the tax records and critics argue there's a murky practice what private equity is and does the romney campaign need to be more effective in dealing with the issues? >> i don't think so. i mean, i think the way that they've answered them thus far is adequate for now. maybe they have to provide more details some point down the road and careful not to get sucked into a line by line discussion of what happened in the 1990's, over you know, some-- whether it's sports authority that has been successful or a company that hasn't been successful. the romney campaign has no interested in getting sucked into that debate. they need a big picture debate. who do you want to choose for the next leader of the country. a guy who had a successful career in private equity and private sector and they would argue creating jobs, knows how the economy works or somebody like president obama, who's worked his entire life in government. had three years of what they would say are failed government policies, a stimulus plan that plainly didn't work or do the obama administration has done and i think that's the way that the romney campaign wants to frame it. >> clayton: on the special report panel, and charles krauthammer basically declaring ron paul in many ways the most authentic of the candidates, say what you want about him. he's more than a candidate and probably has an effective message that goes beyond the campaign. and you look at what happening in south carolina right now against president obama, at least in the new poll. 33%, put this poll up on the screen here and 33% against president obama and he appears to be the weakest among going up against president obama. if the polls in south carolina have him riding darn high. what do you make of the ron paul candidacy going forward? >> i think the short take, he's crazy, but his supporters aren't. it's not crazy to think if you're a republican and you want to vote for a candidate who is speaking to the problems in the way that you see these problems, these are huge problems, we're 15 trillion dollars in debt and ron paul is talking about basically coming to washington and blowing everything up and starting from scratch. shutting down five cabinet agencies, cutting a trillion dollars from the budget in the first year. and these are things that are probably not realistic, but for many republican primary voters, that sound like what washington needs. i mean, to me that sounds like what washington needs. >> clayton: and leave it on this, but hear some tea party folks saying he's the one true tea party candidate? >> yeah, i think he's spoken to these issues consistently and effectively. when pollsters ask voters what issues matter to you. the size and scope of government and the size of the economy. ron paul has been talking about these things incessantly and talking in a way he think speaks to the people's understanding of the size of the problems. and that's important. that's what separated him to a certain extent from the other candidates. >> clayton: all right, packers favored by eight. how confident are you going into the game? >> i don't like to be favored by eight. look, if the packers can keep aaron rogers upright and keep the giants front four from sacking him or otherwise causing him problems, they should have a good day. i think if the packers can get out to a lead they should do well, but the giants have been running the ball well and the defense on fire. so i'm nervous. >> clayton: he's not sporting cheese head. >> tomorrow, tomorrow. >> clayton: good luck with your came. >> thank you. >> clayton: buckle up, the pain at the pump could get crippling. a new plan from the obama administration could drive prices through the roof. and everybody has tim tebow mania, but god doesn't care about it. he's going to join us the "name your price" tool, only from progressive. ready, aim, save! grrr! ooh, i forgot my phone! the "name your price" tool. now available on your phone. get a free quote today. >> the talk of the town in the nfl this season. tim tebow getting praise for both his on and off the field demeanor and our next guest says whether he wins or loses he's a great role model, but god doesn't care about football. >> dave: fran tarkenton, inducted into the hall of fame, and threw for 342 touchdowns and a contributor to the wall street journal and joins us this morning. how are you, sir? >> good morning. >> dave: great to have you on the program, a great piece in the wall street journal, asking a credit, if god get credit for the win does he also take blame for the defeat. an interesting look at all of this. 43% of people in the poll said that divine intervention is helping tim tebow in the football field. is it? >> i don't think so, but you know, sometimes you wonder, don't you? this is the most unique story ever in football. there's never been a tim tebow. i mean, he's not a prototype type quarterback, he's a college quarterback, a runner, he doesn't throw leak quarterbacks do and all about the passing game. and he comes from a very religious family, and these people are evangelists and he's been a great christian role model from ledge to pro and says the right things ands' to be enjoyed. and this whole run is unbelievable. and after the things he's done this year, to bring the team back from the throes of defeat to win. we start thinking, is there a devean intervention here, something going on that we don't know? what's the mystery. i will assure you if he beats the new england patriots tonight and it will be most watched playoff game of the weekend by far, if he wins, and the denver broncos win, that 43% may go to 93%. [laughter] >> because it's impresident bush. >> dave: they're two touchdown underdogs, fran. >> yeah, and you're going to get tom brady and bill check and the great patriots and they have no chance. they're 14 point underdogs, nobody expects them to win, but they might. >> alisyn: fran, i don't know much about football as dave can attest, much to his dismay, but i know that he resonates off the field and nice, kind things that he does for people who are sick and suffering and he gives them the red carpet treatment and one 16-year-old girl was quoted, who has a life threatening disease saying it was the best day of her life when she met him. it's so different usually from the stereo types of other professional football players. >> well, he's a remarkable human being. he comes from a remarkable missionary-based family. i've never seen a young man in the spotlight, and he was in the spotlight in college and now in pro football and he's more in the spotlight than brady or aaron rogers and drew brees set passing records and yet, he says and does the right thing. he's a great human being and a great role model and he is to be enjoyed. and this is an experience unlike anything i've seen in pro football and enjoy it. it's great. what a role model he is. >> dave: it's nice we're talking faith not felonies as so often we are in professional sports. >> yeah. >> dave: you were a very religious player one of the original and most outspoken members of fellowship of christian athletes regardless of the outcome, the development is positive, but i want a prediction. who wins?

judge jeanine pirro is next. ♪ living with the pain of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... could mean living th joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra, humira's proven to helrelieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your rheumatologist how you can defend against and help stop further joint damage with humira. the trial of former presidential hopeful john edwards is on hold at least two months because of a life threatening heart condition. yesterday a federal judge announced he has had an undisclosed condition that will require surgery. if you remember, he faces charges he used almost a million dollar in campaign cash to cover up what is an affair with his pregnant mistress, reyal hunter in 2008. will the prosecutors ever get to try the case? we turn now to the host of justin with jeanine pirro. how common for a judge to postpone a trial when the attorneys say my client is not healthy. the judge, what you're going to say is, okay, we'll adjourn it. but this is the third ajournment, this case was adjourned in september through john edwards' daughter's wedding and the attorneys needed more time to prepare. it was adjourned last month because he had a medical issue and needed more time to prepare. and it is adjourned yesterday for at least another two months because he has a medical issue again, arrhythmia, which may require a pacemaker. my question is this, alisyn, if you had a medical condition last night and if it's life threatening, why haven't you dealt with it already? why are you walking around coming in court? get it on. >> we don't know exactly the details of the condition although it's been released it's arrhythmia and may require a pace lake maker. do we assume that the judge knows more than we do. you doesn't believe the attorney. >> no, especially in a case such as this. the judge apparently spoke with the cardiologist of john edwards and made a decision that, you know, she's going to grant this third delay. meanwhile, alisyn, the federal prosecutors are opposing all of these delays, saying that it will prejudice them. but make no mistake, every defendant wants a delay in the trial, because as time goes on, witnesses memories fade, people get less interested in it, one of the main witnesses here died, that's one of the contributors, who gave edwards this money to cover up the affair with his mistress while he was running for president on a family values platform. >> alisyn: platform, yes, that's right. now, let's talk about this case. six felony and misdemeanor claims that he violated campaign contribution laws, with this contribution, he said that from a friend, as a judge, how will the judge ever get to the bottom of whether or not a friend gave him some cash so he could cover up his affair or if it was a campaign contribution, officially? >> look, look, i checked it out. you've got, you're right. six counts, conspiracy, illegal use of contributions and false statement. the issue the defense says it's a novel issue, they say, look, these contributions were from friends $925,000 from two people not given to the campaign. but the feds are using the statute, which is an unusual interpretation, to say, it was in effect, to effect and election and therefore, it was essentially a campaign contribution. it's unique, novel application of the law. did it affect the campaign, yes, because his platform was family values. his mistress is pregnant and he's hiding her, so the money that went from his friends from his mistress was to in effect to impact the campaign. an interesting issue, 30 years by the way he faces. >> alisyn: wow. quickly tonight on your show? >> tonight we've got sarah palin, we've got frank luntz, we've got governor huckabee, talking about what's going to happen in south carolina and we're also going to talk about haley barber, releasing murderers, most who killed their wives and girl friends, a violent sympathy there. don't like it at all. >> alisyn: catch the judge's show then. >> thank you. >> alisyn: and still ahead, outrage over a video showing our marines with taliban corpses and a former marine says we shouldn't rush to judgment on our military heroes. he's here next. you can with green giant frozen vegetables. over twenty delicious varieties ha sixty calories oless per serving and are now weight watchers-endorsed. try green giant frozen vegetables with sauce. >> welcome back. some headlines for you. a terrifying situation for a mother and two young daughters after a truck hits the back of their car pushing it over the edge of a california freeway bridge. it took an hour for them to be pulled from the dangling car and the truck driver died at the scene. the worst of all time. a guy trying to flee down the road to china with a stolen car. the problem, he gets caught up in a traffic jam and crashes into not one, but 13 other vehicles and didn't take long for police to catch up. they have a traffic problem. >> they do, my friend. well, it's a video that's sparkedens so of outrage, around the world, and four marines, seen on camera, desecrating several taliban bodies and now, those marines have been identified and charges are expected to follow. but our nextness says, let's not rush to judgment. we need to keep this in perspective. a retired u.s. marine and state assemblyman and a player running for san diego. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, dave. >> dave: how do you feel about marines in general are being characterized in the wake of this terrible video coming to light? >> well, i think everyone agrees that what the marines did was wrong and they should be disciplined for it, but i think it's really important to put it in the context of the environment we're asking young men and women to go into. they're tired, they're cold, tired of living in the shadows, they're afraid and witnessing horrific acts and fighting an enemy that has no problems cutting the heads off innocent aid workers and using children and toddlers to blow up innocent people in markets to make a point and what you saw was marines who had an inexcusable, wrong, but emotional reaction to a traumatic environment and i think some people have gotten carried away in making comparisons and saw one person talking about the marines need to be brought to justice using the same language used to describe osama bin laden. but what they did was wrong and they're going to be disciplined for it and needs to be a teach and teaching lesson for the rest of the marine corps, but let's not call into question the character of these brave brave men who put their life on the line, who leave their families to fight a violent war against a brutal enemy, and they do it for our protection and safety. >> indeed, perspective is important here. leon panetta called it utter deplorable. do you agree with that character sae characterization. >> i think what was done was wrong, but emotional reaction to the environment if you've never been there is hard to understand. you know, it's really hard to put in context the fear and the danger and the things that go through these-- i mean, we're talking about teenagers, at times, who have never been in a fist fight in their life. and volunteer, and get sent to a horrific environment. i think it's wrong and they should be disciplined for it, and the marine corps and military will handle that, but to watch people who live a climate controlled life, who at times the greatest worry is maybe their latte is not the right temperature, cast disparaging comments on marines who did the wrong they think, but aren't inherently bad people, i think-- >> you in fact served and i think it helps for folks to hear what you've been through. what you've seen, things you've had to endure, friends and family, so tell the folks out there the things that you've been forced to endure. >> well, so many tens of thousands of great men and women have stepped up in this war to serve and i'm just one who only did two deployments. so many have done so much more, seen so many more difficult things and go into the context environment of combat and warfare and doing it to protect your country and family and sacrifices the families are making are intense and they're real and they're lasting. and i think it's really important that our overriding concern or effort be to thank the families and thank those who are serving and say we appreciate your service, when mistakes are made, and if they have a mistake, they'll correct it, but we're not going to call it to question their question. >> and you, sir had a cousin killed, and another both legs amputated at the knee. and thank you for your service, and thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me on. >> dave: more "fox & friends" in two minutes. stick around. that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8. why settle for a one-note cereal?
