save people has an unexpected side effect, it kills business. "fox & friends" on 11-11-12 starts right now. ♪ >> good morning, everyone, it's veterans day and we honor everyone for their service today. all of our hard working men and women in the military. so we will be talking about them. >> yes. >> and it used to be called what? >> armiist day. >> one man wished we weren't talking about his shady past. as of right now. david petraeus after resigning on friday is not set to testify at senate or house hearings on benghazi this week. he may be compelled to. he has not been asked to by other, the house or the senate committees. one would hope he would be compelled to testify. >> alisyn: correct me if i'm wrong, but i think he was going to testify. >> dave: set to. >> alisyn: on thursday and instead he extended the acting director of the cia michael morelle in his stead. let's rewind the tape for a moment. we know he was involved in an extramarital affair, the way it came to light, we have some information, the fbi was investigating threatening harassing e-mails, sent to an unknown woman, paula broadwell, he was involved. >> to keep it straight, she sent e-mails she thought may be getting too close to her man who is not her man to begin with because he's married, she's married. the fbi goes-- the woman with threatening e-mails, i'm getting threatening e-mails, the fbi checks it out and leads to general petraeus. >> alisyn: reportedly. >> dave: you don't want to read too far into this, but it looks like there's another woman, but no one has reported that as of yet and there are two stories emerging on when exactly the president was informed of all of this. now, the latest, most popular report that is, is that the president was told after the election on thursday, that the white house learned on wednesday, the president was told on thursday. >> how long was the-- >> the other report, the fbi knew about this months before. there's another report from ronald kessler of news max, that says the white house intentionally sat on this until after the election, knew about it when the fbi was investigating. peter king, new york post, says it doesn't make sense, if the fbi is investigating the head of the cia, the president should know about it. >> the fbi should tell as many people as possible. >> dave: the a least the white house. >> the committee at least. >> alisyn: there are a lot of questions and how it connects to the terror attack in benghazi. congress had been trying to get answers about that as you know, and congress before coming out to talk about did they think petraeus pick up will still allow them to get answers. let's listen to them. >> we want to hear from him regardless whether or not he's the director of the cia or not. he will be asked to come testify in short at some point because he was the director on watch at that point. and you know, it doesn't matter that he's currently the director or not. >> right. >> we're going to ask him to come in and tell what he saw, what he knew. as she said, we've got questions, they have to be answered. general petraeus was there when it was going on. >> we have a good working relationship with the department of state, but when jay carney, the white house spokesman says that this white house has been cooperating with congress all along on benghazi, that is an out and out lie and what we've soon from this administration and the state department is coverup and deception, and that's why we would like not just a private hearing that we're going to have on friday, we want an open hearing because the american public deserves it and set clinton, i am optimistic, will come up and will meet our request and she will be appearing before us. >> by the end of november, but she's not going to be here this week. >> dave: she is not, a scheduling conflict and cannot testify this week in front of the house, she's out of the the country and she obviously has to be part of any testimony just as much as david petraeus does not because of the labeling after the fact, i think to get the timeline straight leading up to it and the security requests that ambassador stevens made asking for more help there. >> alisyn: sure, we know she will send somebody else from the state department as well, but of course that won't satisfy the congress people until they hear from the top dog. we'll talk more about this all show. let's get to the headlines. the frustrations are boiling over for hundreds of people on long island in new york, who have gone now two weeks without power, following super storm sandy and she separate rallies, outside of long island power authorities and offices and many calling for those in charge to resign for leaving them in desperate straits. >> most people are displaced, they have no homes, because of the gas crisis, living in other areas, we need answers, and liaison between the agencies to give us-- we're hearing many different stories, i don't know that anything is true, you know, it's devastating, it's very upsetting. >> alisyn: by the way congressman peter king is going to be on our show later to talk about this and the outrage, at last check more than 120,000 people were still without power. overnight the air strike, and rages on for a second day. palestinian militants bombarded israel with more than 20 rockets at borders yesterday. renewed violence started saturday, militant first fired a missile at israeli patrols and responded with shelling and israeli prime minister says he's prepared to strike even harder if they do not stop attacking israel. and new overnight a massive explosion at a-- in an indianapolis neighborhood. at least one person killed, two others hurt and the blast sent debris flying into homes, waking people out of their sleep. >> it looked like a war zone. i mean, one of my neighborhoods said there was someone in the house, and they were in the basement. they were able to get him out. but they got us out and evacuated the whole neighborhood, so it's pretty bad. >> about 200 people were taken to a nearby elementary school. 200 homes destroyed. others damaged. no word what caused that explosion. and frightening moments for 130 people on board a southwest airlines plane as it slid off the runway at denver international airport at oakland last night. bad weather may have been a factor since it was lightly snowing at the time. fortunately, no one was hurt. the passengers were taken to the terminal and put on the next flight. >> disconcerting for sure, welcome to denver. >> dave: all right, meanwhile, let's talk about nanny bloomberg hereof new york city. you may have heard that nickname before because of so many restrictions and the taxes from salt to sugary beverages, keeping the beverages below 16 ounces. well, maybe that's not necessarily the right way forward, at least if you look at what's happening around the world. someone else, it seems, thought the fat tax was a decent idea. apparently though, did not work out. >> this is in denmark, right. >> alisyn: correct. >> it's interesting, a country, well, the word danish is involved, which is kind of fat in itself. they have the same idea, sugary drinks, fatty foods, saturated fat. we all know it's bad for us. they wanted to put a tax on it. didn't work out. they found out it was bad to business and some people were going to neighboring countries to get the food and sugary drinks so they wouldn't have to pay the tax in denmark, so they're going to kill it. >> alisyn: it did exist a little more than a year and did not accomplish its goal of helping people lose weight n denmark, 47% of danes are overweight and 13% are obese and people were trying other tricky things to get their hands on the food they wanted. i would say this this fat tax went too far in denmark, more so than denmark. >> because chocolate was involved? >> chocolate was involved, which is good for you, people. dark chocolate, but also, they taxed butter, milk, meat, cheese, i don't think that those are the sinful foods. >> no. >> those are staples. >> they were taxing food. >> they were taxing, this wasn't just fast food. it wasn't just 15 ounce sugary drinks, they went overboard and taxed all of these things, so, people were travelling across the border, you know, like fugitives to get their hands on the goods that they wanted and didn't work. and they might have increased revenue, if that was the goal to increase revenue, maybe that work, it didn't work on-- >> think of the things that they would have started taxing after that. the foods, and now let's tax everything. but, there are two elements to the taxes, one is the personal responsibility element, but two, is it bad for business? they did find it was bad for business for industry there and end up costing jobs and that was arguably my biggest objection in new york when you have to make different rules for one city, if you're, say, coca-cola, that's going to cost you a lot of money, potentially cost you jobs. >> absolutely. >> anything that's going to hurt jobs in this economy. >> and we tried to do the same thing in philadelphia, a sugary tax, no, no, it was knocked down by city council, almost instantly. you've been to philly, no. >> alisyn: don't mess with-- >> we're going to tax your cheese steak, no, you're not. i get the idea what they're trying to do. they're trying to make us more healthy. it's personal responsibility. leave it up to me to eat the big mac. >> dave: denmark showed us the way. >> alisyn: you'll always make the wrong decision. you can find us all on twitter and let us know if you think that the fat tax has any merit, including increasing revenue. >> dave: all right. coming up next, they stand in the front lines to protect our freedom, this veterans day we'll meet a woman whose husband just returned home from afghanistan, she shares what it means to be a spouse of a guardsman. >> then, if congress can't come to a compromise, millions of americans could pay the costs come next year. so, what does the nearing fiscal cliff mean for your wallet? we'll talk about that. ♪ come together right now ♪ over me ♪ ooh baby, looks like you need a little

looming fiscal cliff. there's impending facts that could take place if no compromise takes place. 450 million alone. >> dave: what does it mean for your wallet. from real clear politics, real clear markets, good to see you, john. >> good morning. >> dave: compromise, not a word we hear often in washington. if there is compromise to avoid this fiscal cliff, where does it come? john boehner indicated, revenue is possible, but we're not raising tax rates. where is there compromise? >> i think where there's going to be a compromise on taxes, this be would be a good thing on the economy, might exchange lower tax rates in return for a reduction in all the loopholes that as it is distort economic activity. so if boehner were able to achieve that kind of compromise, that's one that the republicans could be pleased with. the bush tax cuts are gone, they're expiring, and the president said that 250,000 below, he wants that extended, but for those making more than 250, will the bush tax cuts come to an end? >> i don't think so. i think actually the they won't come to an end because the democrats don't want major reduction in spending, if you hit the cliff, the spending would go down and politicians love to spend money. an extension of the bush tax cuts, less we're blessed by the relatively few, jeff baso, the late steve jobs, you want to remove the barriers to their production, not raise them. >> mike: john, we're not going over this cliff, are we. >> there's no way we're going over the cliff. we know the incentives that drive politicians. for one, they don't want to raise taxes amid the limping economy and don't want to be on record making that vote two years ago, and democrats and republicans exist to spend money and the last thing they want is a legal force by law, we're taking it out of your hands and reduce spending across the board. that's not going to happen. >> who has the advantage, john boehner or barack obama? >> i think in a sense boehner's got the advantage. look what happened in the election. president obama got a lot less votes this time than he did in 2008. so, he hardly got a mandate from the voters, and boehner's advantage is that if he caves on this, republicans will be the minority party once again in 2014 and that's not going to happen. and he's got a pretty strong hand. if you don't deal with me, we're going to bring down spending substantially. >> mike: he's going to dig in. >> he has to as voters ascared. >> dave: and john says they'll not happen. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> mike: ahead, a hotly contested race, hotter between allen west and his democratic challenger. why an emergency meeting has been called this morning. >> dave: and some of our countries wounded warriors taking a giant

people don't have medication, lose track of them not getting supplies and number two is stress, we were talking about stress at the beginning, you get stressed you're out of your element. you don't know where you're going to be sleeping, and that increases your risk of heart attack. >> dave: what about the people home, no power means no heat. it's 30, 40 degrees tops, it's warming up tomorrow, but the cold. >> that makes people more prone to catch infections and rundown under more stress and the other issue related to this we haven't talked about a lot is water. we've always talked about power. if you don't have running water, you can't stay where you are, you can make due for a couple of days, if you have running water and your bundle up and figure out another place to cook something, but something else that happened after katrina. people without power started using their barbecues and people died from carbon monoxide, that's an important thing. >> mike: we had somebody in philadelphia last week die from hypo thermia. he was in his home. >> as you get older, mike, you have less insulation and you're more likely to do that. you have to bundle up or get out of there. we think that the disaster is over weeks don't have to worry anymore. this is the time, according to the centers for disease control you start to see the deaths pile up and people have to go to hospital and my own hospital is not over. >> and helping people with all of that. >> we're going this afternoon to new jersey to some the shelters with fox news team and hand out sweatshirts and try to help people as take a look. >> mike: doctor, good to see you. >> alisyn: coming up, general david petraeus shocking the world with the news of an extramarital affair and using his personal e-mail account, did that give hackers an opening to top secret information?

he has said that he's not going to go, testified this week and said that the now acting doctor michael morelle of the cia will go in his stead and hillary clinton asked to testify said that there are scheduling conflicts. >> mike: she's in australia, but she will be called by the end of november. if you get a have to go, right. >> alisyn: sure, she's just been asked. >> mike: can you swing by into that's right. >> dave: one would think that david petraeus an honorable man in terms of duty to his country not get into his marital affairs, but served of the countries and turned around the war in iraq, one would think he would want to provide the answers to the senate and house as would hillary clinton one would expect. so, let's give him at least the benefit of the doubt that they will both want the truth uncovered here. as for congress, they do say that both hillary and david petraeus ought to testify if the truth is to come out, listen. >> we want to hear from him regardless of whether or not he's a director of the cia or not. i mean, he will be asked to come testify i'm sure at some point because he was the director on watch at that point. you know, it didn't matter that he's currently the director or not. >> right. >> we're going to ask him to come in and tell us what he saw, what he knew. we've got, as she said, we've got questions they have to be answered, general petraeus was there when it was going on. >> we have a good working relationship with the department of state, but when jay carney, the white house spokesman says that this white house has been cooperating with congress all along on benghazi, that's an out and out lie and what we've seen from this administration and the state department is coverup and deception, and that's why we would like not just a private hearing that we're going to have on friday. we want an open hearing because the american public deserves it and secretary clinton, i'm optimistic, will come up and will meet our requests and she will be appearing before us. >> mike: there's no schedule that's more important than figuring out how four americans lost their lives. >> alisyn: you don't think that meeting with australian leaders has sort of the same geopolitical-- >> i understand she has to be there. and we're concerned here in the united states, the government, that australia is cutting way back on defense spending and she is he' down there and i understand you go and have that meeting that far away, but you've got to go then before the congress by the end of the month. >> alisyn: and in fact, congressman gowdy says he will be subpoenaed if he for whenever reason he refuses to come. and avoid the spotlight and-- >> one of the interesting aspects to this, how exactly it got uncovered and in so doing we find out that david petraeus was using the same e-mail that you and i use on an everyday basis, e-mailing this mistress, paula broadwell, with a g-mail account. why is that important? that's easily hacked into by whom ever wants to get u.s. intelligence so that became one of the stumbling blocks in this investigation and if clayton were here, it would probably drive him mad he wasn't doing this via a completely secure cia e-mail, but e-mail that-- >> wouldn't that be worse that he would use the cia e-mail. >> dave: try several layers of security, not that g-mail doesn't do a good job of securing e-mail. >> mike: he's probably not saying this is sensitive information, sensitive to my marriage, but not sensitive to the government. >> alisyn: of course you use your private e-mail to send private steamy e-mails. >> dave: and start worrying-- >> have i put too much on this right now. let me back up. and work e-mail to do this, but by using g-mail now they're saying he could have potentially compromised the national security. what if he said something on e-mail and hackers had been trying-- >> a question for you. the fbi is worried about this because somebody was hacking in-- >> no, they were looking into it because paula broadwell allegedly sent threatening e-mailings. >> to the other woman, oh, my goodness, the general is having an affair. who do you go to and tell that to and due need to tell that. >> dave: one would think that someone like james clapper, like tom donlan, almost immediately up to the white house, if air going to investigate the head of the cia one would think it would get run up the flagpole quickly. that's what peter king suggested yesterday. we'll talk to him later on the program. >> alisyn: let's talk about regulations, and that's a bad word, if you or somebody who believes that there's bureaucratic bloat in the federal government, and how many regulations there are. we just, according to cns news service, this are some numbers now since president obama, well, i'll start with the past 90 days, the past three months, they've crunched the number and found out the obama administration has proposed 68 regulations, per day, for the past 9 the 0 days. >> that would be close to 7,000 regulations in 90 days. >> alisyn: are you doing math on the fly? >> i just did. can i read you one of them? this is just a couple of days ago, epa posted a proposed rule involving volatile organic emissions. >> dave: very important of utmost importance. >> alisyn: it may be, here is the thing about regulations, they're just like earmarks, you're against them and a dirty word until they're your pet project. and if you're an environmentalist of course you don't want the coating. >> mike: abbing tech dural coating. >> alisyn: seeping into your ground water. >> dave: if you're a ceo and i just spoke with one of the country's largest off the record last week, and he said, look, you've got to understand my problem here, i have to hire teams of lawyers just to understand how to do my business. all i'm trying to do is improve my bottom line, continue to hire employees, but i've got to dig through thousands of pages of paper work and hire more attorneys. there seem to be more obstacles in the way of me creating jobs today and that's what you'll hear, thousands of times across this country from small to medium business leaders. >> alisyn: you're right. and businesses all onerous, again, what's the line between a good regulation and bad regulation. when you hear the numbers it sounds staggering. >> mike: 68 a day. >> alisyn: 68 a day. >> dave: how is there time for that?

>> it's coming in the first floor, that's it we started scrambling, we grabbed water, snacks, food, ran up the stories, i grabbed my grandchildren's pictures, as i'm scrambling around, i have a little statue of the blessed mother on my, she's on the window sill over there, i took her and i faced her out, and i said a little prayer because usually when you don't want rain you put her outside, within a half hour, the water stopped, at the top of the step. >> reporter: wow, your prayers were answered. >> i can't even, i was on my knees over there. >> reporter: you're sweet. what about these bags? >> we have been going to ocean side school district, fema, the church up the corner has donated so much food we go up there, we get water and food, and-- >> you feel like you don't need anything, i came out here, do you need flashlights what can we get you you said you've been well taken care of. >> and we were prepared, too, we were prepared with a generator. and james here, my daughter's boyfriend. he works-- >> we'll have to get jen, too, he works, but he's the only one for fed ex that got homeless and they said what can we do, he said a generator would be huge, within two days, fed ex pulls up and drops us a generator. >> that's nice of them. jen you told me, your daughter, you live down the street. >> eight feet of water, lie whole house is gone, my daughter's toys and baby book and she's just distraught over what she's lost and awful. >> she's had, she broke down a few times, the baby book. and quickly i'm told we've got to wrap it up. show you back here, and she emptied out the basement and put everything on the back porch, whatever she could save and there's the generator that james' company fed ex sent to them which has been a saving grace doesn't run the entire house, but a little bit of heat with the heater and help them run the refrigerator. we were living out of ice chests for days, days, ice chests and we have a gas stove so the gas has been huge. thank you so much. >> reporter: back to you in the studio. >> alisyn: ainsley, thanks so much. what a great window into how people are surviving right now with all of their family members in one room. >> mike: quickly i saw that generator and make sure that you keep the generator outside. it's supposed to be about at minimum 25 feet away. >> alisyn: it's on the porch, not far enough away. >> mike: maybe farther away. it's got to be outside. >> alisyn: ainsley walk that generator down the steps and into the yard. thank you for the report. and thousands of people on long island are still in the dark following sandy. they're the not getting any answers so congressman peter king is now calling on the president to step in and help. he joins us live coming up. >> mike: then, thanking our veterans by giving them a higher education. we'll introduce you to the university that is doing just that, doing it for 40 years. meet them next. >> welcome back everybody, as we celebrate veterans day. and celebrate our country. fox wants to help our troops. helping heroes work, it's a brand new website that points them to potential employment opportunities. if you're an employer looking to hire a veteran or just come back from deployment. go to helpingheroeswork.foxnews.com, again, check out helpingheroeswork.foxnews.com. >> dave: thanks, ali. thank you, ali for explaining that to mike. our military men and women protect our country every day and one university is showing support for those who serve by being a leading provider for education services for the military for almost 40 years. >> mike: joining now is the president of st. leo's arthur kirk, jr. explain, if it's not just one location, it's all over the country on military bases and online. >> that's correct, we have a traditional campus north of tampa, florida, but we're on 15 military bases stretching from norfolk, virginia to san diego, to key west, and back to mcdill air force base in tampa and just about everywhere in between. plus, online, so, we can dehe stroi with our soldiers and sailors. >> mike: and even when they're deployed? >> yes, at one point we had nearly a thousand students in iraq and afghanistan and the middle east, and continuing to study while they were helping prosecute the war. >> and you've been doing this for years, and why did you decide this was your mission? >> the university's mission was always about opportunity. we were founded in 1889 with the mission of opportunity and a core value of respect. when we went to our first bases in 1973, it was at the apex of the vietnam war and those of us old enough to remember what it was like on university campuses, with the military and the war, that was an extraordinary commitment, but it goes to that mission of opportunity and that value of respect. >> who can go to the schools? can anybody apply? >> yes, any, anyone, we're on the military bases primarily for our active duty. >> right. >> men and women, but we have many of their spouses and family members, as well. and we also have some low hecations very near the bases to allow civilians who would find it challenging to get on the base. >> what's the tuition? >> for the military, it is $239 a credit. $250 a credit online, which for a private university is very, very low. but, that's part of our mission commitment to both the military and opportunity. >> and the department of defense covers up to $250 per credit so therefore, an active military member has to just pay for books. >> for the active military, yes. >> for the active military. >> for their spouses, for their dependents, obviously, they don't. and approximately 30% of your student population is active duty military members, that's a wonderful thing you're doing at st. leo university. and arthur kirk, one more thing? >> well, that we actually have more veterans than we have active duty military. and this is one of the largest provide,of education it our veterans and we have 18% increase in the number of veterans enrolled this fall. >> perhaps because of your support, of the active duty. >> yes, absolutely. >> mike: i think there will be a lot of takers today. you have a website? >> yes, www.saint leo.edu. >> mike: nice to meet you, have a safe trip back to tampa. >> dave: coming up, not only are the people on long island losing patience with wide outages and no answers? so is congressman peter king, now calling on the president. he joins us next. >> mike: then, president obama's plan to raise taxes?

lipa for all intents and purposes a monopoly, who provides the lights and power on the island. what do you do? >> i think after this is settled whenever it is, next two, three weeks, i think that lipa has to be restructured and look at the concept, the state legislature and government, and this obviously doesn't work, it's unresponsive. not in tune what has to be done in the 21st century. who would have thought we would see on long island hundreds ever thousands without power so long. >> alisyn: it's easy to blame lipa, sort of a long island power authority, but there are people behind lipa to be answering questions, the ceo and the executive staff and none of whom are answering the phones. what do you want president obama to do? >> federal assistance, which we do need. and send in the army corps of engineers, they've brought power back to iraq-- >> they haven't been there. >> and plan to help get that back on. i want a larger federal presence to make lipa coordinate with the federal plan, in effect have a federal master plan and lipa atune itself to that because lipa can't do it on its own. >> alisyn: let's move to the issue of benghazi, as you know, david petraeus was set, at least set to called before house this week. and instead the acting director michael morelle will go. is that enough? >> no, it's not. my strong recommendation, general petraeus has to testify, if not this week, a great american, but we can't find out what happened at benghazi unless david petraeus testifies. he was the center of it all. he's absolutely essential witness and morelle the number two guy, good. the fact is we have to have someone who was there, he's the largest piece of the puzzle. >> alisyn: and also, secretary of state hillary clinton was asked to come in and speak, but she said that she has scheduling conflicts and she will be going to australia. and is there any way to force her to answer questions? >> i hope it doesn't come to that. and she ultimately has to testify because you have so many on the ground. state department people on the ground and cia people on the ground, all sending messages to washington on the night of the attack, and also before the attack saying there's not enough security and after the attack someone coming up with talking points to susan rice directly in the chain of command with the state department and turned out to be totally misleading and secretary clinton and general petraeus are both essential witnesses. >> how run of the people that finds petraeus's fishy or-- >> i find the whole story, how it was a fbi matter, investigated so many months and election night that the fbi suddenly realized it involved david petraeus. they're investigating it for three or four months, it's the first thing that he they found out. if they found it out, immediately brought it to the president's attention, a matter of national security. none of it adds up, if it does, the most amazing sense of security. >> alisyn: a congressional race between allen west and his challenger, why an emergency meeting this morning. the so-called fat cats not holding much weight. the law that was supposed to save people had a side effect. that's coming up. ♪ [ whistle blowing ] where do you hear that beat?

the left, who is saying we want the wealthy to pay their fair share, pay a little bit more, the right and john boehner says we will not raise tax rates under any circumstances. can you make both sides happy? >> well, yeah, compromise is what it's all about, right? but if you're a congress person who took that norquist pledge, no taxes, then how can you compromise without breaking your pledge? >> john boehner thinks he has an idea and says so in his weekly address this weekend. >> instead of raising tax rates on the american people and accepting the damage it will do to our economy, let's start to actually solve the problem and focus on tax reform, the close the special interest loopholes, instead of accepting arbitrary cuts that will endanger our national defense, let's he get serious about shoring up the entitlement prms the primary drivers of our country's massive greg debt. 2013 should be the year to begin to solve our debt through tax reform and entitlement reform. >> dave: so one thing i think both sides agree on that the middle class should clearly not have their taxes go up the beginning of 2013. so, those tax breaks for those making less than 250 going to get extended. how do they get more revenue? well, they cut out loopholes and things of that nature for the wealthy, are we arguing semantics here? of course you mentioned the pledge that all of these congressmen took under grover norquist to say we will never vote to raise taxes, but if you're going to get more revenue, the rich are paying more, is it a semantic argument? >> i hear you, isn't closing loopholes, the same as raising taxes? >> maybe not your rate, but your effective taxes built into the year more. >> exactly. somehow, grover norquist doesn't hear it that way. he sees the distinction between these. here is what he had to say about john boehner. >> and if we'd had a recovery the strength of reagan's recovery, instead of the obama weak recovery, there would be 10 million more americans at work today. and why not focus as boehner says we have to as mitch mcconnell says we have to, to lower taxes and get more growth and you actually net more additional revenue, i'm for additional revenue not for tax increases, neither has boehner suggested. >> alisyn: well, he didn't talk about the loopholes being closed right there. >> dave: well, he said additional revenue that's the only way to get. >> alisyn: he's saying you get additional revenue when you take off the shackles of businesses when he they have lower tax rate. is he saying there will be increased revenue. >> mike: through growth. . >> dave: that's a very, very different argument. >> mike: changing tax codes and entitlement of reform, you can't get that before december 31st. >> dave: not a chance. they'll do a short-term deal and we're going to sort through this with chris wallace, he's next, today on fox news sunday he has a member of the house and senate's democrat and republican, so, the four of them should be able to come to the compromise, today on fox news sunday. >> alisyn: there you go. >> dave: he'll solve it. >> alisyn: that's right. mike, you've heard of the fat tax, sugar tax. >> mike: in new york city. and also started in philadelphia as well. our mayor of city council said no, we don't want to do that. now what the fat tax was implemented in denmark. >> dave: yeah. how did it do? >> didn't do well and now they're going to abolish it in less than a year because they found it hurt because, especially small business, people would avoid it somehow by going across the border, like into norway or whatever, and buy the things that they needed so he they wouldn't be taxed. >> dave: right. did not change their habits, number one, and two, it was hurting business, so, on all of this, this was a complete and utter failure, the habits didn't change, going to kill jobs, increase prices and increasing the cost for all the companies to implement the changes. >> alisyn: a lot of administrative costs associated with having to keep track of all of this. here is what the danish tax ministry said about the failed experiment. and the extension of the chocolate tax, here is where they get me the chocolate tax, so-called sugar tax, criticized for increasing prices for consumers and administrative costs and putting danish jobs at risk. so as you said, they've decided this was a failed experiment. now, of course, we're still trying it in philadelphia, in new york, a sugar tax, as you know, now, depends what you think the upshot it was supposed to be. it was supposed to cut down on obesity, how it was billed, they say that denmark, 47% of danes are overweight and 13% are obese and didn't see it made people change their eating habits. >> mike: a way. >> dave: people are going to find a way around it, always will. in the case of new york, they'll do it in the movie theater. can't get anything over 16 ounces and go to 7-eleven and get 87 ounces. >> alisyn: 87 ounces. >> dave: no, looks like it. but if you're coca-cola and make different size containers for one city, with as it ever about-- going to pass that cost on to you. >> mike: is it ever about had eliot. >> alisyn: ostensibly. >> mike: it's a way to make more money for a certain city. i think i think about health-- >> twitter, we'd love to hear you weigh in. >> mike: weigh in, very nice. >> alisyn: oh. >> dave: with the investigation into the attacks in libya just getting started was now the right time for david petraeus to resign?

>> well, look, i think that this is overwhelmingly a personal scandal. obviously, people will ask questions about and if we're going to have an exclusive interview today on fox news sunday with the chairman of the senate intelligence committee who is going to hear from petraeus on thursday and hear from the deputy michael morelle so we'll ask her about it. look, i don't see how his not testifying makes that much difference. you know, the deputy director of the cia is going to testify, if they want to hear from petraeus at another point, they can, they can subpoena him, but i don't think that if there's something that the cia did wrong in its handling of the benghazi situation, i don't see how this gets covered up by the fact that petraeus won't be testifying. >> not only is senator feinstein going to be here for that testimony and she would come out and the president would not accept david petraeus's resignation. many who say this doesn't quite rise to the level of someone who is the head of the cia to resign. is that opinion shared in capital hill? hers was the only one that we heard calm out and say that on friday. >> i don't think it's widely shared and i'm going to ask senator feinstein whether she continues to hold that as more revelations have come out about the nature of the relationship and now that apparently this whole investigation started because the mistress paula broadwell, was e-mailing and threatening another woman who she felt was getting too close to petraeus. it seems to me that this was a big mess, it was going to come out one way or the other and the idea that you could have the head of the cia and conceivably his e-mails have been compromised, there are questions of blackmail. i don't see how he could have stayed in his job given this and also, i think it was a question of honor and personal responsibility. apparently as soon as he told the director of national intelligence on tuesday, on election day about this, james clapper, he-- clapper immediately said you've got to resign. >> alisyn: chris, there are questions of timing because even as our own catherine herridge reported, the investigation was going on for well above tuesday, weeks, months before that and that it strained credulity as they say that no one in the administration would have known before tuesday. >> well, again, all the reports are -- and clearly people in the fbi knew, but supposedly james clapper, the head of national intelligence, didn't know until tuesday and the white house didn't know until tuesday. interestingly enough, the reports are that diane feinstein the chairman of the senate intelligence committee wasn't told until it broke in the newts on friday and by law, the fbi is supposed to notify intelligence committees if there is a major development and this would certainly seem to rise to that level and we'll ask senator feinstein about that as well. >> dave: who are the other guests, chris. we thought the big story was going to be the fiscal cliff and have four-- that is still a big story, could be 600 billion in spending and tax cuts if they don't work out a deal, and we'll be talking to two senators, two congressmen, two republicans, two democrats if they can work out a deal and what its nature would be. >> dave: right, what exactly are republicans in the house willing to swallow appears a big question, can john boehner get those republicans to fall in line appears to be a big question. can't wait to see the showfox n low he cal listings. >> bye, guys. >> alisyn: thanks, chris. imagine being on board this plane. >> mike: no. >> alisyn: what went wrong with sent it skidding off the runway. >> dave: denzel washington piloting?

joining us is judith mill i remember adjunct fellow at the manhattan institute. we want your input on this, it's a bit of a head scratcher and talking with congressman peter king, he says it's unthinkable that the fbi was investigating the head of the the cia, without informing the white house, someone close to the president of that investigation. what do you make of that timing? >> i'm afraid that i share pete king's skepticism about the timeline that we've been given by the white house. i mean, if they didn't know, why didn't they know? hear that the head of intelligence is either the subject of or peripherally involved in an investigation and no one at the white house knows about it? at what point do they get involved. i think a lot of people who know washington and know this white house don't believe the story that's been anded out so far. >> dave: add to go the skepticism. from a news max piece, quote, the decision was made to delay the resignation of david petraeus, apparently to avoid potential embarrassment to the president before the election. that and fbi source told ronald kessler of news max, do you buy that story, known for months? >> i also write for news max and i know ron kessler and i know his excellent fbi sources, the author of a very well respected book about the fbi and has better fbi sources than anyone i know and i think that his reporting so far on this story seems to gel with what i feel goes on in washington. and i think the interesting thing about what we've heard so far is that in addition to this being a terrible personal tragedy for general petraeus, there are all kinds of questions about whether or not this takes him out of the line of fire in terms of benghazi story, all the questions that congress wants answered. i simply think at this point we don't know enough to say what happened. in this instance in benghazi, in the attempt to shoot our drone out of the air by iran. all of these things seemed to have happened, but announced new questions, new information given conveniently after the election. i don't see a tie-in between benghazi and what happened to general petraeus. i think that's the stuff of conspiracy, but there are certainly questions had a that need to be answered that aren't asked by many in the mainstream media. >> it's interesting that general petraeus went along with the story of the white house, clearly of him of his experience and intelligence and otherwise knew this was a terror attack. and let's move on and talk about the drone account. and white house says james clapper was told on wednesday, and the president on thursday. if in fact they knew months ago and take the iran drone situation they knew, and didn't tell people after the election. why? it's not clear if a david petraeus personal scandal would hurt the president at all he's a bush guy by most accounts and iran drone attack, i'm not sure why that might hurt the president either. why not be transparent and let the american people decide? >> well, the narrative of the barack obama white house was that terrorism is receding, as a threat, things are under control. al-qaeda is on the run and an all of a sudden, you see a bunch of stuff happening in the region that raises questions about that narrative. you want to push this stuff off until after his reelection, perfectly understandable from a political point of view. the question i would ask, are the american people being told about information they need to know in a timely and accurate fashion? and i think each of these three incidents raises that question dramatically and i don't think we have a very reassuring answer so far. >> dave: again, we also don't know what the american people would have made of iran firing at an unmanned drone. >> right. >> dave: or david petraeus having an extramarital affair, no idea. i mean, those aren't necessarily partisan-- >> right, they don't affect the president, which is why you really have to wonder why are people-- why would people be changing the timeline, why would they be lying about what was known or not known at the time that this was raised? you know, right now, there's just too little information, but i do know this: people said that the benghazi story was going to die, but because of fox news and a couple of other mainstream news organizations. >> dave: did not. >> it has not. it will not and we're going to get answers to these questions just as we're going to probe into what the white house knew when. >> dave: right. >> about david petraeus's personal tragedy. >> dave: and we say all of this acknowledgment, david petraeus made tremendous sacrifices an amazing leader. >> absolutely. >> dave: what he's done we owe a debt of gratitude. >> i've covered him since 2003, talented and courageous and-- >> we all agree. >> it's a political loss, a professional loss to him and sad for the country. >> dave: thank you for being here. and you think that government relations are bad now, wait until you hear our next story and they served their country with honor overseas, when they come home they can't necessarily find a job. how can we help put veterans back to work when we come back. to breathe, but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now i can be in the scene. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. if you're still having difficulty breathing, ask your doctor if including advair could help improve your lung function. get your first full prescription free and save on refills at advaircopd.com. >> american soldiers do more than just fight for our freedom overseas. they protect the american people from other threats, like big storms. >> alisyn: exactly, when the army reserve got word of hurricane sandy's potential devastation, they jumped into action and working on relief efforts before the bad weather hit and some of those are joining us, jeffrey tally and specialist felicia neely. welcome to both of you here. >> thank you for having us both here. >> alisyn: general, tell us what you've been doing since hurricane sandy hit? >> well, the first thing we did, before the storm was even approaching we took a number of army reservists and put them on active duty. and coordinate with fema, and support with the federal government in terms of federal forces. then at the request of the state and fema we took three quarter masters teams dewatering capability, workening new york, dewatering-- >> you're sucking the water out of basements, so people can get back to their lives. >> and get the water out of their basements with the storm water and they can restore the electricity still without power. >> mike: how many people are we talking about? >> only about 82 to 83. three quarter master teams. they have six, 600 gallon per minute pumps and dewater quickly and we have emergency preparedness officers. >> alisyn: specialist neely, now you yourself lost power during the storm and you're part of the time to help someone else. and you said it's easier because of the 2012 defense authorization act. how does that helped. >> it's helped a lot. along with my unit we were able to go out there and provide the support that the victims needed and that, that helped to speed up the process in terms of getting food and getting water and helping to clear up the wreckage that was out there. >> mike: you know, it might be important to talking about the epo. explain what it is. >> to get back to your question, national defense october of 2012 said we don't care what forces are out there, folks need help when they need help. it allowed the reserve to work with the national guard with the support and directly in line with fema. and fema says to the state we need help and we know in advance what the needs are. >> alisyn: and army reserves interested this helping veterans get job and specialist neely, you were able to get to a career counselor. >> i was faced with after camp, with millions of americans are faced with, and i have a 14-year-old son and even though i had savings from military training that was quickly dwindling because i did not have a job. so, i started to panic. >> mike: wow. >> i was sending out over ten applications daily over five months with no response from anyone. >> mike: well, thank you both for what you've done. >> yes. >> mike: now, could you go out to long island and help. >> absolutely, today a veterans day and thank all the veterans served before us, serving to include the 9500 soldiers we have and the army reserve. >> alisyn: we feel the same way, more "fox & friends" in two minutes. >> thank you. but swanson? the broth cooks trust most to make the meal folks spend all year waiting for. in stuffing and more, the secret is swanson. >> good morning, everyone, it's sunday, november 11th he, i'm alisyn camerota, thank you for joining us, a hearing is set this week in benghazi when two key players might not show up, secretary of state. hillary clinton and david petraeus. will we get the answers we need without their appearance. >> dave: and patience running out for thousands of people in the dark from hurricane sandy and now they're taking action, protesting the power company, we will have a live report. >> mike: ladies and gentlemen, welcome to regulation nation and the obama administration has proposed 68 regulations per day for the last 90 days, we'll let you hear about some of them. "fox & friends" our fourth hour on a sunday, veterans day, starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> the united states coast guard, some of the band members are here with us. and the band marching down the streets of new york city, it's going to be broadcast nationally on stations around america. very nice. >> dave: and folks drop off a coast for the hurricane sandy victims. and mike jerrick in for clayton morris. >> mike: i was a flutist. >> dave: what? >> a flutist. >> alisyn: a flute. >> dave: i said what, no way. >> mike: a piccolo. i can remember the sister lou ella telling me how to play it, it's like blowing into a coke bottle. >> alisyn: you never know. and the open-ended questions are dangerous. perhaps you'll give us later. and what's happening in the news, new developments on a massive explosion that rocked an indianapolis neighborhood we want to tell you about. we've learned that the death toll increased to two people killed in in plast-- in the blast. >> it looked like a war zone, my neighbor said there was someone in the home in the basement and able to get them out and they evacuated the whole neighborhood. so it's pretty bad. >> alisyn: about 200 people taken to a nearby elementary school. two homes destroyed and others damaged. still no word on the cause for this. and two weeks since superstorm sandy struck and people in long island said they've had enough of the delayed response by the long island power authority to turn their power back on. hundreds of protesters outside of the agency's headquarters and offices and demanding answers. >> we want each and every long islander their power back. >> rest assured every employee of national grid and lipa and all the contractors and all the servicemen to support our customers will not stop until each and every customer is restored. >> alisyn: at last check more than 120,000 people were still without power. so five days after election day and one hotly contested race in florida is not over yet. a recount from about 37,000 early votes is currently underway in st. lucie county. this will officially decide the race between democrat patrick murphy and incumbent allen west. murphy declared victory on wednesday and west refuse today concede despite a final count showing him trailing by about 2400 votes and his campaign had been fighting for a recount saying those numbers just don't add up. and let's take a look at the heart warming tribute to our veterans of the 9/11 memorial in manhattan. veterans from vietnam war to afghanistan, hung yellow ribbons on the famous survivor tree, the ground zero tree that survived the infamous tree. and later, president obama and the first lady will be part of a wreath laying ceremony here. >> mike: have you been to ground zero lately. >> alisyn: no. >> mike: the tower is beautiful. fantastic, about a year away from being completed. it's gorgeous. >> alisyn: today is a good day to go down. >> dave: the latest on the david petraeus situation as you know by now, he resigned as the head of the cia. one of the most decorated heroes. and unfortunate circumstances and you look a couple of families are potentially ruined and u.s. intelligence could be compromised and another angle of this that's being investigated, will we now not find out exactly what happened in benghazi and how chris stevens and three other americans were killed? there are of course senate and house hearings on the benghazi situation later this week, but right now, we don't know if david petraeus will be there. >> why would that affect the investigation? just subpoena him and he has to show up. >> dave: they may. they have not-- peter king says that's a last resort. they hope he testifies on his own. >> alisyn: they don't like the having such a stellar military man, such a public servant. >> dave: we will-respected american. >> alisyn: and supposed to go in this week, but in light of all of this scandal, he is now sending the acting director of the cia, michael morelle, and peter king-- lots of congress people said that's frankly not enough. congressman peter king was on with us earlier on "fox & friends." >> general petraeus has to testify. if not this week, traumatic for him, a great american, but we can't find out what happened in benghazi, unless david petraeus testifies. he was the center of it all, an absolutely essential witness and morelle was the number two guy. the fact is we have to have someone who is there. he's the largest piece of the puzzle. >> dave: we certainly need answers on benghazi, but speaking with the the congressman and judith miller and members of the military, all of them, all of them say it's unthinkable that the fbi was investigating our head of the cia, regarding an extramarital affair that could have compromised our intelligence, they he say it's unthinkable, unimaginable that the white house did not know weeks if not months ago and that's a theory that's been laid out by ronald kessler. he says the fbi told him that the white house knew about all of this. why delay it? that's up to you. >> mike: and take the other side, how would that affect the election? >> right. i said that myself. i don't know if that would or not. >> mike: very much a bush guy. >> dave: a republican, right, war hero. >> mike: and if they're investigating them three or four months, shouldn't the the white house have been notified immediately. >> dave: how were donlan, eric holder not aware of that. >> alisyn: and one of our guests, might have been peter king, if the fbi is something of this stature they must notify intelligence leaders. and whether it was days ago, weeks ago,months ago, a lot of questions. >> mike: i started this hour saying regulation nation. this is the obama administration over the last 90 days have proposed almost 7,000 regulations. so, that would be about 68, 70 per day. >> alisyn: by the way, some of these are not new. some are, if you change a line in an existing regulation, that counts as a notification, so they're counting new regulations plus notification, we don't know how many regulations, but the point is so many people think that regulations are a dirty word. you and dave pointed out, business owners think that regulations are just strangling them, all of the-- the onus is on them to abide by them and can't get business done. >> dave: and many speculate what the second term looks like for the obama administration, once you don't have to answer to the voters, and will regulations ramp up? business owners want to simply things so we know what we're facing in the next few years and a lot tell them, it's making it difficult on them. they're obstacles, but give us certainty moving forward. >> alisyn: as i pointed out, so much of regulations are red tape and they do tie the hands of businesses, but some of them are very important for people that we need. in fact one of the regulations of these 68 in one day, was september 12th signing a regulation that allowed for other cancers to be counted for the world trade center workers. >> mike: first responders. >> alisyn: first responders to get the health care they need. so everybody has their own pet regulation they like, but 68 a day does seem-- >> a little excessive, doesn't it. >> mike: regulate, don't overregulate is what you're saying. >> alisyn: thank you, mike. >> mike: i wrapped it up in a bow. >> dave: up next, soldiers shot six times at fort hood and survived says he's snubbed by the government so it can protect its own reputation. his story and how hundreds are helping him out. >> mike: parent, is your child, your student in your house a slacker?

>> well, that day major asan decided to use a soft target a medical facility, a coward's way of fighting a fight. as mentioned before, if you want to fight his fight or prove to me personally, all he had to do was come to me man-to-man and we can go hands up but he chose a coward's way, to shoot defenseless people and to basically murder them in cold blood. >> well, alonzo, our viewers are not for getting what happened that day and we're remembering your sacrifice. we reached out to the department of defense for comment but have yet to hear back. alonzo lundsford, thank you for your sacrifice. >> you're welcome. >> paul mccartney's brush with death coming up. >> then the pictures from hurricane sandy are devastating but there's something truly inspiring happening this veterans day that will make you proud to be an american. that's next. nobody said an inkjet had to be slow. or that printing in color had to cost a fortune. nobody said an all-in-one had to be bulky. or that you had to print from your desk. at least, nobody said it to us. introducing the business smart inkjet all-in-one series from brother. easy to use, it's the ultimate combination of speed, small size, and low-cost printing. 2:91 eastern. a rare earthquake shook kentucky. a 4.3 quake was centered near kentucky's border with virginia. there was no suggest damage. no one was hurt. and paul mccartney and his wife, nancy, narrowly escape a terrifying helicopter crash. their pilot lost control while flying during bad weather in england. the helicopters was just two feet from hitting trees when the pilot managed to steer it away and land safely at an airport. you have to have a pun for that with lyrics. >> i haven't worked that out because it was a surprising news bulletin. >> just let it about. >> i was looking for that. a slam dunk. >> i'm happy they survived. many of those whose homes were wiped out by sandy ask asking why did this happen to me and you are struggling to find faith. >> they don't need to look further than fellow americans stepping up in incredible ways to help their neighbors get back on their feet. here to explain what's going on, father johnathan morris. great to have you here. sometimes we -- >> thank you. >> we have big storms and your whole life is turned upside down and you say why would god do that to us. how do you answer that? >> i start by saying god doesn't do this to us. he doesn't make hurricanes come. he permits but the laws nature to wreak havoc sadly and sometimes we can't understand that. but as you said, mike, the response of god also comes through our fellow citizens, our neighbors. let me tell you just very quickly a story, i lived in lower manhattan and it's a lot of young people but also older senior citizens who live in walkup apartments. speaking with them after and during this fiasco in which we had no power, no electricity, they said, you know, i've lived in this same building with the same people for many years and now i know how many wonderful friends i have. people coming up and making sure that they were okay. taking them out shopping. making sure they were -- they had all their needs provided for. that's the human touch. what i've been so impressed with is that while we've raised over $200 million through organizations, it is the human contact that brings the most amount of joy to people. organizations and government can help but it's the human touch, the neighbor serving neighbor that brings joy and life back to people in tough times. >> you're so right, father john. it's a paradox where the organizations like long island power authority fail people, yet the people on the ground, your neighbors and friends, pick you up and take care of you. >> you know, you're exactly right. and when we wonder how does god allow this to happen? i ask myself that question not just this tragedy but so many others. sickness in our lives. but when we decide i'm going to be part of the solution because i believe in the dignity of every human person, i'm going to knock on that door. that's very much a part of god's response to the very real suffering we experience. >> if you can't help your neighbor, try to donate. red cross is a good way. find them at redcross.org, text to 90999 and give $10, you can call them. 1-800-red-cross. if you can't seek out an organization matching, there are several of those, that's the best thing some people can do this morning. >> let me just -- bring people's attention to the importance of private and faith-based organization ins all of this. fema is wonderful. we need a national organization and we need bureaucracy so to speak, organization at a higher level but who is going to make your life better, more joyful, more inspiring? human beings can do that. we need to make sure that the lowest level of organizations reaches out in the best way possible. we have to make sure we don't get into the habit of listen, we're going to make sure these organizations come from top down and we don't have to do anything in our local communities. if you have an inspiration to start an organization, do it, if you're able to help a local organization, do it. that's what's going to solve people's ex owe stental rises. >> lady gaga gave $1 million to the red cross and others have done their part. she's from new york and that's a -- i'm sure the red cross appreciated that czech. >> check. >> thank you, gaga. >> sorry for playing hooky on the curvy couch. >> what's the big idea? >> see you next week. >> remember the so-called fat tax that was supposed to make people healthier? it has an unintended side effect. killing business. will the tax still stand. >> from oliver north, live in branson, missouri, for veterans day. >> can you sing, karl?

>> they should file their claim immediately on line, the 800 number. we filed on sunday -- the sunday after the hurricane, five days late, because we were inundated pumping six feet of water out of the basement but they were here in a week, which was pretty good. >> we've heard lots of praise for fema. your friends said they brought bags full of groceries. >> on the national level, i've been most impressed. on the local level, ocean side and hampstead it's a disaster. >> people are complaining they want their electricity back on. >> it's been almost two weeks, part of the town is starting to get it. what i find interesting is everyone's treating is like a private organization. it's a state regulated agency so why not monitor it two years ago. they had the able to monitor it. >> that's long island power aauthority. they handle the power for the majority of long island. >> exactly. it's great to grandstand but the state has oversight. this block was uh-uh dated with sanitation. eight feet high. we had spoiled food from the refrigerators and freezers and there were two scheduled sanitation dates before people started gutting their homes and nothing was picked up. the children have been out of school two weeks, they're not having play dates, they're running up and down. the stuff wasn't clear before and it has been a complete disaster. >> where are the kids?

what's the white house's role? tucker carlson will have a take on this. >> the so-called fat tax not holding weight. the law that was supposed to save people has an unexpected side effect. it kills business. you can't argue with nutrition you can see. great grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. see the seam?

>> there's clearly a lot we don't know. david petraeus is one of the most capable and best loved american citizens. it seems unlikely a straight affair would cause him to resign. not only resign, he was pushed to resign by the director of intelligence, general clapper. so there's more. we don't know what it is. we know that this has been known by a number of people in authority for some time. we know that it's almost certain the attorney general of the united states, eric holder, was aware from his f.b.i. who discovered hundreds of emails from david petraeus to the woman with whom he was having an affair and at least one member of congress heard something about this weeks ago. why, after the election, did this happen? the timing is absolutely suspect and has a attract bearing on the benghazi investigation. >> i assume you're referring to eric cantor. is it inconceivable to you that the f.b.i. would be investigating the head of the intelligence and one of the most well decorated military officers of our generation for months without informing, saying, eric holder, james clapper, tom donell lynn. >> not only someone in the white house but the congress because the congress has oversight of our intelligence agencies. of course. it is inconceivable. it's hard to believe, given the way bureaucracies work, someone wouldn't say this is a huge deal, we're dealing with potential breaches in national security. we have to alert the white house and congress. that's inconceivable. people were alerted. bet on it. >> tucker, i guess you could look at it both ways, how it would affect an election. as a republican, a bush guy, would that affect the president's chance as soon as. >> it's hard to know. keep in mind, he's apparently a republican. we don't know that. but he was a favorite of the former president bush but also of president obama, pointed c.i.a. director by president obama. i don't have the answer. if i were a consultant we say let's wait until ever. he's going to testify before congress and one hopes it doesn't get to a subpoena situation but there's nothing barring him from testifying. >> he was scheduled to go this week and that is -- now it's been announced that in fact the acting director, his deputy, michael morel, will go in his stead. you think petraeus will voluntarily come forward? >> i think at some point he'll come forward voluntary or not. it's impossible to answer certain questions without the c.i.a. director running the c.i.a. at the time. no, i think he will testify and my guess would be voluntarily. i don't mean to cast aspersions on general petraeus, who is an outstanding person who make a mistake. >> congressman peter king told me they may give him a pass for the week because he's dealing with personal stuff but evenly he'll come. >> yes. >> thank you. >> four hours ago we started a painting. we'll check in. the finishing touches here. >> beautiful. >> iwo jima. >> that's gorgeous. >> the finished product after the break. don't go away. those surprising little things she does still make you te notice. there are a million reasons why. but your erectile dysfunction that could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood essure. do not dnk alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial. the holidays can be an especially difficult time. everything's different now. sometimes i feel all alone. christmas used to be my favorite. i just don't expect anything. what if santa can't find me?
