>> no, but let me know your thoughts. let's get to your headlines with a fox news alert. we have brand new warnings to tell you about over the massive data breach impacting target and neiman marcus. at least three other well-known retailers may have suffered similar hacks but on a smaller scale. sources not revealing specifics. the hacks taking place during the holiday season and earlier last year. more details as get it. a live look at where the body of the former israel prime minister ariel sharon lies where people can pay respect. a state memorial is planned for tomorrow. sharon is one of the most controversial figures there and was in a coma for eight years after a devastating stroke at the peak of his political power. no west virginia the water crisis could drag on there for days. this morning hundreds of thousands of people are waking up for a third straight day without clean tap water. crews say the cleanup is difficult but it is progressing. >> i think all the trends are going in the right direction, and we're hoping that we keep going in that direction and don't see a reason why we won't. >> at least four people have been hospitalized for symptoms related to the spill. the west virginia poison control center says they feel that over 800 calls have been fielded. alex rodriguez is suspended for the entire 2014 season, including the playoffs if they were to make it there. this as new details in the biogenesis doping scandal emerge. major league baseball's main witness ejected the slugger with banned substances himself because a-rod was, quote, scared of needles. rodriguez still claims his innocence and says he won't give up vowing to fight his suspension in federal court. experts say the odds are stacked against him there. >> you think? heavy rain this weekend on top of melting ice. now some areas seeing major flooding. in west seneca, new york, overnight dozens of people were rescued by rafts and bulldozers from their homes. thankfully nobody was hurt. >> and flooding not the only problem. >> oh, no, look at that! >> high winds in north carolina bringing down these buildings under construction near raleigh. the line of storms also toppling trees and downing power lines. rick reichmuth is watching all this, where is it headed now? it's gone. yesterday we talked about the ice jams potentially happening, that's kind what the flooding was. across the northeast, very warm temperatures. temperatures still warm. melting that snow and the frozen rivers and streams very quickly. that ice tried to move downstream, it gets stuck and all the water behind it causes the flooding. we'll see more of that today. temperatures still remaining warm across the eastern seaboard certainly compared to where you were earlier this week. the flooding concerns still because of this ice jam situation that we're going to see the next couple of days here, but the rain for the most part is gone. the storm has exited the ooerm seaboard bringing very heavy rain and winds yesterday. that's the video you saw out of north carolina with the houses tumbling. but the storm now through parts of south florida. certainly the east coast is done, maybe a little bit of rain left for parts of far northern maine. behind it, we'll see colder air move in, not bitterly cold, but colder air. and we might see a little of lake-effect snow over the next couple of days. all the precipitation that we're going to see for the next day or two is going to be out west. more rain and mountain snow moving into the pacific northwest, but not as strong as what you saw yesterday. most of that energy moves to the north in to canada. a little bit of that moves to the south as we'll see showers across the coastal areas and down across southeast texas. temperaturewise, everybody looking pretty good. tomorrow as you head back to work, we'll see temperatures start to see cold air move in across the northern plains, but won't be as bad as the last one. that's good news. >> charlotte, if they are worried about the game time today, there was paint and stuff flying all over, but it's fine. >> it's fine. both games today inside. >> inside games, good. thank you, rick. we have new revelations from the robert gates book, the former cia director and director of defense has a new book out. we have seen a number of excerpts. one overnight in the wall street journal. really an amazing, amazing story. in it he describes what it was like when he first showed up in the situation room with the new president, barack obama, in january of 2009. >> this is kind of startling because he was a part of the previous administration. the way he describes it is after if he wasn't. he said, i've been the secretary of defense for just over two years on january 21, 2009, but on that day i again become the outsider. for the first several months, it took a lot of discipline to sit quietly at the table as everyone from president obama on down took shots at president bush and his team. sitting there i would often think to myself, am i invisible? discussions in the situation room allowed no room for discriminating analysis. everything was awful and obama and his team had arrived just in time to save the day. >> this is from his them moemoi out called "duty." he also said he felt like yoda because he was older than a lot of the people there and certainly felt like an outsider. but it's so bizarre. he was defense secretary from 2006 to 2011 and served every single president since nixon with the exception of clinton, yet he somehow still felt like an outsider here. >> he describes the meetings in which he said people in the meeting were making key decisions who were in high school when he was the cia director, and yet their relative youth and inexperience didn't prevent them from making decisions no person should be capable of. but the conversation in the situation room allowed for no discriminating analysis. that's a terrifying thing to say. that these people see everything to the line of politics and don't think through their decisions in any other way. >> it manifested itself in the surge numbers and the analysis from the generals and those on the field in afghanistan saying 30,000 additional troops were probably needed to fight the taliban summer surge that was coming, the summer offensive, though you hear that no discriminating analysis, you know the obama administration didn't want to do the 30,000, whittling it down to 17,000. this decision seared in his memory was one conversation and interlude with vice president biden and president obama when getting ready to talk about going forward with military action in afghanistan. he said, i should consider the president's decision as an order. i am giving an order obama said quickly. i was shocked. i had never heard a president explicitly frame a decision was a direct order. with the u.s. military, it is completely unnecessary to issue an order to get something done, nor had i heard a commander do so. biden surging the complete unfamiliarity of both is like something right out of a hollywood. >> like right out of the movies. when president obama seemed to want to have this central competent government in afghanistan, gates was saying, you know what? that almost seeks like a fairy tale. what we need to do is continue to hammer down on the taliban. make sure afghanistan doesn't become a haven for al qaeda even more than it already is, and it just really displayed his lack of military experience. and he was trying to overcompensate. >> experience in anything. this is why you don't hand the most powerful country in the world over to someone who is a state senator a week ago. the insecurity comes through in every sense of this. they are complete ly worried of being overruled so they overcompensate through aggression, failing to listen to the military brass, because they are terrified and unsure of themselves. >> they are scared they are not going to be listened to as commander in chief. you don't say, that's an order, go carry it out. that's how kids talk when unsure of themselves. this guy is the president and running the pentagon. there's more on this with a sunday morning appearance on one of the talk shows from robert gates. we'll try to play the video. if there's something relevant, we'll bring it to you later in the show this morning. oh obamacare strikes again. a second wave of imminent insurance policy cancellations. these of small businesses. we are live in washington with the very latest on this developing story. elizabeth? >> reporter: good morning. we are seeing reports in "the washington post" which say there could be more widespread disruption on the horizon potentially impacting millions of people covered by smaller companies. the notices they say will be sent out in october, shortly before the next open enrollment period. so what could change? well, some small businesses may not be meeting new basic requirements and other insurance companies may be designing new plans, so either current coverage could be canceled or amended, meaning owners need to get a new required policy. it's really hard to predict an exact number of future impacted. somewhere between 18 to 24 million are covered by companies with 50 employees or less. and 40 million work for a company with less than 100 workers. meanwhile, many insurers are having a hard time for people to pay for coverage, but reports are there's a gap between the approximate 2 million who selected plans and those who actually paid. critics say the white house is really not revealing true figures. >> they don't tell us how many of the enrollees have actually lost existing coverage and were forced into the exchanges. and the numbers don't tell us whether applicants have actually paid their premiums and received coverage. >> on the other hand, the administration is out thing the recent number and the president saying yesterday during his weekly address his signature health care law is having a positive effect on the economy. clayton, tucker, anna, back to you guys. >> thank you, elizabeth. coming up on the show, we've been telling you about the stunners in robert gates' new book. could these allegations have anything to do with why many have left their post under president obama? and we are getting an assist with the super bowl halftime show. we have the big stars just added to the lineup coming up. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] to truck guys, the truck is everything. and when you put them in charge of making an unbeable truck, good things happen. this is the ram 1500. the 2014 motor trend truck of the year. ♪ and first ever back-to-back champion. guts. glory. ram. ♪ ♪ if i was a flower growing wild and free ♪ ♪ all i'd want is you to be my sweet honeybee ♪ ♪ and if was a tree growing tall and green ♪ ♪ all i'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves ♪ grown in america. picked & packed at the peak of ripeness. the same essential nutrients as fresh. del monte. bursting with life™. the same essential nutrients as fresh. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that parker. well, did you know auctioneers make bad grocery store clerks?

we welcome today former under secretary of defense for intelligence under president bush, lieutenant general boikin. we see a picture of a president who doesn't trust his leaders, is that what you see? >> people have been through the cold war, people prepared to fight the soviet union, and people who had been at war with terrorism since 2001. and then you have a president that comes in who is known to have been mentored by a communist, frank marshall davis, who has been associated with terrorists like bill airs, so there's natural friction between the president and his senior military commanders. what he didn't understand was the culture of the military as bob gates says to where they are going to have to support the constitution and follow the orders from the president. >> you get the sense some of the president and his staff, some who are very young, are really concerned about being manipulated by pentagon brass, do you think that's a fair concern? >> well, i think that it's exactly what occurred. i think it's exactly the sentiment you see in the staff he's surrounding himself by, but i don't think it's a valid concern because that is not the culture of the military. look, when a military leader reaches a point where he can't follow the orders of the president, he has a moral obligation to simply step forward, lay his stars on the table and say, i'm done. i can no longer follow your orders, which by the way is what gates should have done. and i think that one of the things that's revealed in this book is the fact that he didn't have the courage to stand up to the president on issues that, like budget cuts, like the timing of the repeal of don't ask don't tell, i think he reveals that in his book that he didn't have the courage that we expect leaders to have. >> he describes how many generals in all branches have left the service under obama, do you think that is because of these tensions? and why would obama fire so many generals? >> well, first of all, some of these generals needed to leave. some of them were involved in things that were just intolerable and unacceptable as a senior leader. but there are others that i think left under very questionable circumstances. and i can tell you from talking to some of the leadership in the military that many of them are leaving because they don't want to preside over the demise of the military. when you look at budget cuts and sequestration and a variety of other things, that's one of the reasons they are leaving now. >> lieutenant general jerry boykin, i appreciate you coming on this morning. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. coming up, diamonds are forever, they say, but that's not true when you break up. who gets to keep the ring? one man sues to find out. and raise a glass, there was no water in sight, so one fireman had to improvise. he used beer to fight the flames. the maguiver of the fire department joins us next.

hi, tucker, thanks. an 18-wheeler caught fire on the side of the road, and while the fire extinguisher didn't do the trick, you won't guess what did, beer! >> the firefighter used cases of beer to stifle the flames. joining us is firefighter captain craig merrow and his wife jamie merrow. nice to see you this morning. welcome to "fox and friends." >> good morning. >> take us back to the fateful day when beer was used to put out the fire. captain, tell us what happened when you pulled up to this truck. >> sure. we run down the road and jamie noticed that there was a smell coming from somewhere. and we topped the hill and could see the 18-wheeler was going down the road and his brakes and the tires had caught on fire. and the car in front of us kind of flagged him over and he pulled over to the side of the road. that's kind of where it all started. >> so what made you decide to actually use the beer, though, you couldn't get the fire out, right? >> so the gentleman driving the truck had an extinguisher and he was not using it real good, so i took it from him and crawled underneath the truck to try to put the fire out because it would get a better direct hit on the flames. at that point it went out for a second and then flared back up. and i asked the guy and said, hey, what's in the back of your truck because we need to offload it because the whole truck is going to burn up. and when he said it was beer, we said, i said, hey, maybe we don't have to offload it. maybe we can get the fire put out. so he started doling out cans and cans of beer. so i shook them up and put it on the flames. >> you started shaking them up. so jamie, are you sitting in the car the whole time watching this unfold? what in the world were you thinking? >> it was one of those moments where i wasn't sure if i should panic or if i should just stay put and let craig do his job. he's very good at what he does, so i felt pretty secure that he was there taking care of things, but when the tire exploded, i could hear that from the car, and so that was -- that was a little nerve-wracking. i was really thankful when i could see both craig and the driver again and i knew that they were okay. >> yeah, i guess so. captain moreau, your foster kids who are young, too, they are thankful the beer worked. it could have been a different scenario. did you know what would happen when you used that to extinguish the flames? >> i didn't, but i did know that i could tell them to drive off, the roads were really starting to get bad. and i was told there were fireworks in the back of the truck, it would have been a different story, but thankfully it was just beer and worked like a champ. it's funny that it caught on so much. >> captain, when you looked at that beer for a second, did you hesitate? you looked at the beer and saw it was coors light and heard the stories of coors light tasting like water. if it was an american beer, maybe i'm not going to do this, but because it was coors you said, i'm going to go for it. >> well, my brother-in-law nathan made the joke it was the choice of beer and i had to sacrifice a few to save many. >> well, since you were now the boonies and far from the fire department coming to your aid, coors light did the trick. >> it was actually coors' banquet beer. >> did they contact you? >> they did contact me. i haven't met them yet, but we have had a few discussions with them. >> i think you might have some beer coming your way. >> i don't know. also, my fair station is right besides the budweiser brewery, so we have joked for years putting a fire out with a beer but not thinking it would be off duty with coors instead of budweiser. >> captain moreau, great story this morning. >> thank you for having us on. >> thank you. coming up on the show, scary moments in the sky. what happens when your pilot has a heart attack in midair?

it's tough to listen to as a mother and father. >> that's why people pick up their kids, but it is not just letting them express themselves, it is letting them understand they have to deal with whatever frustration is causing them to cry in the first place. they cannot manipulate you through crying. that's an important battle to win right away. >> not only just manipulating you, but plugging their mouth up so they can't cry. they are crying because they are tired, hungry, or something else. there's something else bothering them. try to get them to explain that, actually have some sort of a connection rather than putting that into their mouth. >> because you could turn them into heavy smokers later in life. >> e-mail us your comments, facebook us, let us know what you think about this story. it is taking parenting too far and should babies be babies or adults immediately? we have headlines to get to. chilling new details about the deadly case of road rage out in pennsylvania. police are now saying that the victim, 28-year-old timothy davidson, made multiple 911 calls as he was chased by a crazed driver last weekend. police not releasing the tape but say they believe the shooter pursued davidson for up to 15 miles before he was run off the road and shot several times. police still searching for the suspect. absolutely heroic actions by a nurse on an airplane saving the pilot's life. the plane was flying from iowa to colorado when a crew member asked if anyone could provide medical assistance. when the nurse volunteered found out's it was the pilot. the nurse worked to keep the pilot alive. he was rushed to surgery right after the plane landed. he's going to be just fine we are told. and diamonds are forever, or are they?

that's still ohio there. take a look at this. >> yes. this could be interesting. >> he saw something coming in. >> yeah. i'm sensing with this much rain that's not uncommon, but that's not good. >> what happened in d.c. on saturday at the wizards/rockies game. the heavy rain caused a leak in the roof. officials delayed the game after the water began to fall on the court. what's next? rick has the answer. really rough yesterday. i think this general weather pattern we are in isn't going to change. so we're not going to see the mayor cold air we had, but we'll see bouts of cold coming in. and the west coast can't buy a drop of rain, which isn't good at all. california has had the driest year they have ever had on record. and there's no rain really in sight for them, unfortunately. temperature wise, you will see this. it looks nice. part of problem with the ice jams is we saw such cold temperatures this last week that the rivers froze. and now they are melting. and the ice doesn't go down smoothly for the rivers and causes dams. behind it, then the water ends up flooding. because of that, no more rain across the northeast, but the flooding concerns will still continue, especially if you live near the river banks or stream banks that have the ice in them. the storm has moved all the way off the eastern seaboard. all that's left will be cooler air that will move in and across the great lakes near the tughill plateau we'll see some moisture move in, a little bit of snow. into the pacific northwest we have this ridge out here, so we continue to see the storm track move to the north. we'll see the snow across the central rockies. very windy conditions out there as well. and that's going to continue. and you see the drought here across california as i mentioned, such a dry year, they are going to be seeing the winds pick up tonight. a big santa ana wind event moves in tonight through tuesday. could be talking about a major santa ana wind event meaning warm conditions and a fire threat all throughout southern california through wednesday. >> thank you, rick. >> thanks a lot, rick. more revelations from the robert gates book. he has written an account of his years running the pentagon under the obama administration. and there's all kinds of remarkable facts in here. the latest comes from "the wall street journal" piece he wrote overnight in which he describes being in the situation room for the first time with the new obama administration in january of 2009. >> it basically describes it as being a total outsider and as if they forgot he was here with the previous administration with president george w. bush. here's what he said, quote, i had been the secretary of defense for just over two years on january 21, 2009, but on that day i again became the outsider. for the first several months it took a lot of discipline to sit quietly at the table as everyone from president obama on down took shots at president bush and his administration. sitting there, i would often think to myself, am i invisible? >> he was secretary of defense from 2006 to 2011 serving every single president since nixon with the exception of bill clinton. so he's been around the block. to feel like an outsider and to earn the nickname of yoda, the ancient jedi a teacher to all of them, he said i did feel like an outsider. i was older and more experienced than everyone around me. >> he said they were children making important decisions, people he describes being in high school when he was cia director. this is the money part of the quote here, discussions in the situation room allowed for no discriminating analysis. keep in mind, these are the most significant national security decisions made by the most powerful country in human history. and there was no discriminating that analysis. it was all bush was terrible, we are great. we are the ones we have been waiting for. >> some of that analysis from the battlefield saying with the taliban summer offensive, we need 30,000 troops to combat the summer offensive. the obama administration saying, no, we'll give you 17,000. in fact, secretary gates at the time also describes a conversation with vice president biden and president obama that makes them seem like sort of petulent children. read this, along with us, he says this, then came an exchange that is seared into my memory. biden said he was ready to move forward in afghanistan but the military should consider the president's decision as an order. i am giving an order obama quickly said. i was shocked as i had never heard a president explicitly frame a decision as a direct order. with the u.s. military, it is completely unnecessary. as secretary of defense, i had never issued an order to get something done, nor had i heard any commander do so. obama's order at biden's urging demonstrated the complete unfamiliarity of both men with the american military culture. >> this shows he's simply trying to overcompensate. gates believed having a central competent government in afghanistan was more of a tarry tale and the better thing to do was to really beef up the afghan security forces themselves and try to make afghanistan less of a safe haven for al qaeda than it already was. >> so the amount of people who didn't have experience, didn't know what they were doing, worried about being rolled by the experience generals had at the pentagon. the result was terrible relations between the white house and the military gaffe. and the results of that has been an awful lot of military leaders retiring, leaving service for the private sector. we talked a minute ago to lieutenant general jerry boykin. here's what he said. >> when a military leader reaches a place where he cannot follow the orders of the president, he has a moral obligation to step forward and say, i'm done, i can no longer follow your orders. i can say that many of them are leaving because they don't want to preside over the demise of the military. when you look at budget cuts and sequestration and a variety of other things, that's one of the reasons that they are leaving now. >> again, the new book is out now called "duty." pick up the "wall street journal" with the second xerps released from his book. it talks about the troop surge and whether they should advance troops in afghanistan or put more assets into iraq as well. >> it's just a reminder it's pretty hard to learn this stuff on the job. you have no experience at all making executive decisions at any level, much less over the biggest military in the world. it is pretty tough to learn it. >> that's why few senators become presidents. usually governors become presidents. coming up on the show, the nfl going to pot? roger goodell says he won't rule it out, but is that a really good idea? randall hill joins us to weigh in on that. and the young people need to sign up for obamacare to make it work. but what happens if they don't? our next guest is here with the rude awake anything. awakening. i always say be the man withhe plan but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. but with less energy, moodiness, i saw my doctor.rive, a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can store t levels to norm in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger an 18 or men with prostate or bret cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of por increased acneor in women may occur.air report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlaed or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrh, vomiting, and increase in psa. ask your doctor about axiron. i'm bethand i'm michelle. and we own the paper cottage. it's a stationery and gifts store. anything we purchase for the paper cottage goes on our ink card. so you can manage your business expenses and access them online instantly with the game changing app from ink. we didn't get into business to spend time managing receipts, that's why we have ink. we like being in business because we like being creative, we like interacting with people. so you have time to focus on the things you love. infrom chase. so you can. ♪ welcome back. the obama administration says health insurance will be more affordable for young people under obamacare. they have been saying that for years, but after doing the numbers that does not seem to be the case at all. according to the american academy of act wares, singles ineligible for government subsidies will see their premiums increase 42%. those between 60 to 64 would see a 1% increase. >> the question, are young people in for a rude awakening under the new health plan? here to weigh in is program officer for young american foundation, ashley pratt. good morning, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, anna and tucker, for having me. >> the youth vote was critical in electing president obama the first time and the second time. and now they are seeing these numbers and really feeling the pain. what's going to be the effects? >> yeah, certainly. young people were among obama's most avid supporters and now what we're seeing is young people are going away from him in droves because of the amount of broken promises he's kind of not held his end on. and what carl rove actually pointed out in the piece in the "wall street journal" last week is under obamacare there's a provision that many people don't know about, it's an adjusted community rating. so what this does is essentially forbids anyone from being charged a premium three mimes more than anybody else, so what this does is incentivises insurers to jack up this to young people who cannot afford it. so what is the incentive to purchase obamacare through the exchange full-well knowing their premium will nearly double or in some cases triple? and that's what we're seeing among young people at young america's foundation. we actually had a former intern contact us to say, you know, the obama administration is touting the fact that young people under the age of 26 can stay on their parents' plan, but what if their plan was canceled? so for this intern, she's lost herself in the exchange trying to find health care. so people are being hurt by the policies of thissed administrat, especially obama care. >> the unemployment rate for young people is sky high. tell us about the youth misery index that's hit an all-time high under this president. what does it mean? >> certainly. so the youth misery index is something that the young americans foundation puts out annually. we come up with this number, which this year is 98.6, by adding up youth unemployment, student loan debt numbers and then we take the national debt per capita. so youth unemployment in august was 16.3. and then the student loan get average was 29,400. so that's 29.4 on our scale, which is the highest it's ever been. and then you take the national debt, everybody sharing that $17 trillion debt that obama has racked up during his presidency. and that number is 52,948. so 52.9 on the scale. so it all comes out to 98.6, which is the highest it's ever been. and under obama, since 2009 until now, what we have seen is an 18.1% increase under his administration for his presidency. therefore, we believe that makes him the worst president for youth economic opportunity. and again, young people are very disenchanted now at this point. and they were some of his most avid supporters as anna had pointed out. i think now they are really jaded because they are being left behind by this administration and expected to pick up the tab from the reckless spending going on in washington. >> yeah, they should have thought about that before they voted for him. we'll see if it changes voting patterns. ashley, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. next on the rundown, did you make a new year's resolution?

>> without a slice of pizza. i have never been -- >> he had three pieces earlier. >> it was probably four, let's be honest. we'll take a look at the weather for today. we had big storms move through the southeast yesterday. today things are cleared out, but we'll be certainly cooler than yesterday. strangely warm yesterday. take a look at how the day progresses across the northeast. we'll see a few snow flurries flying around the great lakes. temperatures for everybody a little cooler but not cold, not cold is good. looks like colder air moves in next weekend. so be ready for that. down across the southeast, very dry. in fact, very dry conditions. we'll see the dew points extremely slow. by tonight we'll start to see a bit of moisture move in across the south/central gulf. we'll see a little bit of mixing today across northern minnesota in towards parts of wyoming later on this afternoon with a few showers pulling in. temperature wise, not looking that bad. then out across the west, the storm track far to the north. so we'll be seeing rain and snow across the mountains. tonight the santa ana winds kick in with the fire threat continuing through wednesday. all right, guys, i'm on my way in for the pizza. >> we'll save some for you. >> we all have food baby belly now. 34 minutes after the hour with a fox news alert to get to. here's a live look at jerusalem where the body of former israeli prime minister ariel sharon lies in state. thousands lining up to pay their respects. we are live there with the latest this morning. good morning. >> reporter: israel has begun the official mourning process today as ariel sharon is here. flags are half-staff around the country. there was a moment of silence held for sharon earlier, and now he's lying in state here until 6:00 p.m. now, we've seen a steady crowd, it's not by any means large crowds of israelis coming to pay their respects, but a steady number of israelis paying their respects here for the former prime minister ariel sharon. he leaves a very mixed legacy here in israel. some call him a war hero, some call him a war criminal. he was a historic general politician, perhaps best known around the world for disengagement of the gaza settlements, which is an ironic twist of his legacy here. he was someone who championed israeli sentiments originally throughout gaza and the west bank and later disengaged. he has a mixed record here. he's controversial. but the one thing everybody says about him was he was a leader. that's what israel needs and what many israelis say is lacking in their political conversation these days, is leadership. >> thank you, conner. now to get to other stories making headlines this sunday morning. third time is not the charm for the partridge star david cassidy who was arrested for drunk driving again. cassidy was pulled over friday night in los angeles and failed a sobriety test blowing more than twice the legal limit. this is the third dui arrest for cassidy since 2010. new developments over the george washington bridge scandal. one of new jersey's top lawmakers now saying he will convene a special session thursday to vote to extend the investigation and the state's subpoena power. lawmakers indicate governor chris christie's former chief of staff and former campaign manager both fired over the cover-up may be called to testify. the governor has denied knowing what his assistants did as political retribution and has apologized. new outrage over the way veterans apply for disability benefits. the obama administration wants to switch to a standard claims form streamlining the system but possibly cutting into the amount of money veterans receive. right now feds can send informal claims like a handwritten note and be eligible for the department of veterans affairs, but they say it is too confusing and causing a backlog. those are the headlines. thank you, anna. we'll turn our attention to schools because new mexico has lowered the bar this morning because new mexico has one of the lowest graduation rates in the country. and kids there do not do well in math and science and generally don't do well enough in school to graduate. 70% of the kids take four years to get through high school there. well, new mexico has a new plan. we'll give you twodiplomas, one for the kids doing okay and one for the kids just doing average, and we'll lower the bar for them. >> the current diploma of xleps and the new general diploma. requirements for the general diploma would be lower. the proposal is for credits to be brought down to three. is this a good idea? or already the way that we stack up around the world is ridiculous. >> well, it's a stupid idea that's not going to fool employers into hiring people with fake diplomas. the real question is, why does new mexico have such a low graduation rate? the teachers unions? maybe. but there are a lot of factors, though, immigration is one of them and new mexico has half their population foreign-born. the other breakdown is if you don't have a father at home, if your parents aren't married, you are much less likely to succeed in school. if you are born out of wedlock, you see bad education outcomes. >> the department of education says any attempt to low er coure standards for students is cause for concern. why don't we just lower the standards so if you have remedial skills you can still graduate. >> if you think this is affecting america's long-term prospects in a global economy, and it is, then let's get real. why are standards so much lower than they were? why are students not achieving what they want -- because there have been major changes in the way the american family is structured with consequences. >> not everyone is going to go to college, either. i mean, this would hurt your challenges of getting into colleges, but i would think that the government there would be focused for the kids to go to trade school and learn skills to give back to the community and society rather than giving them a free ride. >> another meaningless credential. everyone gets a trophy. bay con bacon lovers be warned. you should know what you're about to pay. and roger goodell says the nfl may go to pot. he won't rule it out. randall hill is joining us live, next, to weigh in on that.

roger goodell giving reporters a vague answer when asked about it this week saying, quote, i don't know what's going to develop as far as the next opportunity for medicine, but we will continue to support the evolution of medicine. since his refusal to rule it out, here to give us his take, nfl wide-receiver randall hill, nice to see you this morning, randall. welcome back. >> nice so see you, thank you. >> what was your response to the commissioner's vague comment about the future of medical marijuana in the league when you heard it? >> well, i know he was very careful in his response, but me personally, i'm totally all the way to the right. i don't agree with it. i'm 44 years old and never had alcohol before in my life. and 5:00 this morning i woke my wife up who is a board certified internal medicine doctor and said she would never write a prescription for it. >> although the denver broncos in the national football league in the state of colorado where medical marijuana is legal now as we saw people line up for blocks to get it. could the league outlaw to say players can't do it when players before have stood by it? ricky williams never saw a problem with it. he says, i don't agree with that that it was an achilles heel. i kind of think of it more as spinach for popeye. >> if you need medical marijuana for your health, then maybe you shouldn't be playing football. maybe you should be taking care of yourself. in situations where it is a terminal cancer-type of situation, i totally understand that, but even those types of situations you won't be on the football field playing. you will be sitting there at home taking care of your health and well-being. >> the players who suffer from inflammation issues say this could help them out. let's be honest, randal, you knew when playing there were players using this reck reuationally. do you think it hindered their game in any way? >> i look at it from a different perspective. once, if it's in the nfl, the next thing you know, maybe a pilot who maybe needs to use medical marijuana, now he's flying high, literally flying high. so i just don't agree with it. and some people say it's natural, organic and of the earth, but so is oil and gas but you don't see me taking a glass of that either. >> this is your opinion, you haven't had alcohol, you've never done drugs, that's not the case with other players in the league. what do you think the response is from others in the national football league? >> i think that most of the players are going to be right down the middle. i think some of the players are going to say, if it's supporting medical use by all means, but talking to my wife, 60 years, a board certified medical doctor, she said she would only write it for an internal situation. that's not a professional football player, that's someone at home trying to take care of their well-being. >> tonight, the carolina game, panthers and 49ers, who do you pick? >> i have to pick the guys out west, the 49ers are going to come in and probably pounce all over the panthers. >> now to denver then, denver and the chargers, who do you pick? >> come on now, you got to go with denver, even though it's the issue we're talking about. go with denver. >> peyton manning there in the mile high city. randal, great to see you today. open joe i a great day of football. >> thank you, sir. coming up, over 5 million people have lost their insurance thanks to obama care, but what's in store for 2014?

>> this thing has all-wheel steering. so with the hybrid package, the rear wheels turn as well. that's really cool. acura will come back to make a big splash with this car, 32 mpgs. should be around the $60,000 price point. i have not heard a lot from acura, but i think the rlx will go a long ways to change that. and this one you need to have to tour around manhattan. the 50th anniversary of the ford mustang. this is the one we have been waiting for. they started redesigning it back in 2009. it launched here officially in detroit. tomorrow three different engines setups available, including the absolute perfect 5-liter v-8 they are famous for. 9 million mustangs have been sold since it started. $23,000 late summer 2013. that's putting pressure on the camaro. and check out this k900. it is rear-wheel drive, really comfortable and super quiet. look at the backseat. you could have a driver for this car. ultimately premium car. kia believes the company wants a luxury car near with the pricepoint near $50,000. you will be surprised how nice they are. and if you want to get fancy, the jag. they took the rims off it. 550horse power, zero to 60 in four seconds. if you ask how much?

still across parts of upstate new york and toward new england. the warm temperatures have caused the ice that formed this last week with the very cold temperatures to begin to melt and cause these ice dams. that flooding from the ice dams happens very quickly, which is why you have to see the sudden rescues happen yesterday in west k seneca, new york. the water immediately goes outside of the banks. that's not from the ongoing rain. temperatures still above freezing all across the area. we still have flood concerns there, so watch that for another day or two. temps cool down again by the time we get to the latter part of this week, but this week, in general, is warmer than average. this is the storm that brought the heavy rain there. and the severe weather across the southeast, winds are up to about 70 miles an hour. that's all gone. we'll see a little bit of snow flying across the great lakes. then we'll watch areas across the west. today, one more day of strong winds and strong rain here across the pacific northwest. snow in towards the mountains with winds picking up in southern california. santa ana winds this day. temperatures remain warm for a couple more days for everybody, which is great. >> warm. relative to where we are in january. >> you don't need a jacket. thank you. we'll talk about obamacare this morning because we've been wondering about the 2.1 million sign-up number that the obama administration rolled out and how can we trust if the numbers are coming out accurate after the website mess and everything else? when you dive into the 2.1 million enrollees you get two separate categories. >> yeah. it is pretty unbelievable. it turns out, we don't have hard numbers on this because they don't exist, but we know from a survey of individual insurance company that is a huge number of people who signed up for insurance have not paid their premiums on that insurance. maybe up to 40% of all people who the obama administration says are covered have not paid. so that's the equivalent of saying i own a lamborghini because i went to a dealership and told them i was going to buy one. have you paid for it? no. then you don't own the lamborghini and you don't own health insurance. >> same with car insurance. you have to send in the premium when you buy a new car. you don't have coverage until the first premium arrives. then it is retroactive from the day you call, if i'm not mistaken, but you still have to mail in your payment otherwise it doesn't count. therefor you are not covered. >> here's the other part of this, this is very risky for the small insurers, in particular, because if they have a smaller pool of customers and these people insured, what happens if you get sick? you're one of the few people that really does get sick and there's nobody else to subsidize your health care cost? so they can really put them in hot water or it can leave those insured in hot water. >> if you do a survey, here's what you would find. a lot of people who voted for obama in '08 and '12 believing their health care was going to be entirely free. i bet a lot of people thought they didn't have to pay. the administration has doubled food stamps and the obama supporters say, i don't have to pay my mortgage anymore or for health care. >> a new report is highlighting back in the fall we had the wave of cancellations as the obama administration was trying to be reassuring back then. industry analysts now restricting this from small businesses yet that we have not seen. here's the numbers they are touting. 18 to 24 million insured through employers with fewer than 50 workers could be affected by this. >> 40 million covered through firms with fewer than 100 workers as well, health and human services estimated in 2010 that's up to 80% of small groups planned and could be discontinued by the end of 2013. when you hear numbers like this and then you hear about the obama administration and the liberals wanting to raise the minimum wage, or a lot of people want to do that, think about how much that could be hurting small businesses and what they are doing for hiring. we heard they just added 74,000 jobs far short of the 197,000 jobs expected. how are small businesses going to be hiring when they don't have enough money to pay for the health coverage for all these people? and when their minimum wage, if that went up, is on a larger scale. they'll have fewer money to go around. >> so the former lieutenant governor, the person who went against hillary clinton, had this to say about obamacare and what's going to happen as the employer costs get higher, as they will. watch. >> the crisis that's about to occur this year, most americans get their coverage at work through their own employer or spouse's employer, but this year as both plans expire employers are going to be required, if they provide coverage, to provide the washington potential benefits that cost more than what employers are accustomed to providing. >> did you hear that? the quintessential benefits. don't anybody lie to you. these are benefits people need, they didn't have them before and now they do. no, these are the product of lobbying. i live in washington, i can tell you, these benefits are in there because the people who make money from the benefits lobby for congress. if you can guess the federal government forced people to buy service, it's pretty good business. that's what they have done with obamacare. >> read this report in "the washington post" on what to expect. more to come on the show, including this. he was the only man to make it out live from a mission in afghanistan. have you seen this movie yet?

"okay, this is the price,"sman comes and you're like.ells you, this will be a year of action. i'll keep doing everything i can to create new jobs and new opportunities for american families. and that action should begin by extending unemployment insurance for americans who are laid off in the recession through no fault of their own. republicans in congress just let that life line expire for 1.3 million americans. congress needs to finish the job right away. >> well, president obama arguing there for unemployment benefit extension after this week's dismal job report showed a drop in the jobless rate to 6.7% but only 74,000 jobs were created. what's next in this battle over benefits? joining us is the great john roberts, welcome. they have republicans boxed in on this question that changes the subject away from the unemployment rate, puts them back in the driver seat, is this a winner for democrats as they think it is? >> i don't know. i think harry reid tipped his hand the other day when he said the republicans were cold-hearted in their approach to american insurance. many people ask what is cold-hearted for wanting to pay for the extension in the unemployment benefits? kelly ayott is taking it on the chin for how to pay for the extension in the unemployment benefits, but there comes a time, tucker, and you know this all too well from the time spent in washington, when you take a look at the budgets, how long can you keep opening up the purse and dumping money out before generations to follow us are looking at a mountain of debt they can't deal with and their economy suffers as a result of it. there are many people who say we need fiscal responsibility in washington and it starts with paying for the unemployment insurance extension. >> if republicans don't move on that, will we likely see executive action of the president doing this unilaterally without the help of congress? >> that's pretty difficult, it has to go through congress, but you have to wonder if this is a plan the democrats are floating. the latest one out there, 31 week extension from harry reid and we pay for it with $17 billion in sequester cuts, but those don't kick in until 2024, we'll pay for this now and we'll get it ten years from now. i don't think a lot of people believe that, so does he really want the extension of unemployment insurance benefits or does he want this to go down to defeat? so the democrats can use this to beat republicans all the way to november 4th. >> speaking of doing things on your own from the side of president obama, the new robert gates book out, "duty," more revelations in "the wall street journal." i wanted to share this to get your thoughts on this. he says this about the troop surge in afghanistan, the decision in 2009, then came an exchange that is speared into my memory. biden said he was ready to move before and the military should consider the president's decision as an order. i am giving an order, obama said. i was shocked. i had never heard a president explicitly frame a decision as a direct order. with the u.s. military, and as secretary of defense, i had never issued an order to get something done nor had i heard any commander do so. obama's order of men -- what do you think this is going to do for people's faith in the president? >> it is an interesting and unusual excerpt from that book and vice president biden's approach to the military. his son bo biden served in the military for so many years. ultimately he should be familiar with the relationship between the executive officer and the military. it is almost like a cliche war movie where the sergeant says to the private, that's an order! the president doesn't necessarily need to issue orders to the military, people typically follow along, but gates illuminates the idea that the president was stressful of his commander, general crystal, general petraeus. there's an excerpt in the book where he says that gates talks about, are they suspicious of my politics or recent the fact that i never served in the military?

and how does it feel to have a big hollywood blockbuster on your hands? >> the story came out basically to, in my eyes, honor my teammates and what happened up on the mountain that day. and in the beginning it was not my idea for this to happen, the navy and our community actually approached me and said we were going to declassify this operation and put it out to the american public. mainly because there were so many people who lost their lives. most people talk about the guys that were on the ground, but you can't forget about the 16 guys that died in the helicopter that day as well. and when something like that happens, you lose that many lives and a helicopter gets shot down, it's going to get out. and all the rumors flying around and speculation, the family members were just losing their mind kind of a deal. so the powers that be decided they were going to, like i said, declassify it and put it out to the american public. the book kind of took off. we never expected that. and to answer your question about having a movie about it now, it's a -- i'm very happy with it. i think that all the stories that float around this country and the world, and they decided to do this particular story to make a movie out of, is -- it's a great honor. because more people watch movies than they read books, right? >> sure. sure. and that must've been difficult, your family, your wife having read the book and understanding of course in conversations with what went on with you there, and then you go and sit in the movie theater with your wife. what did she say to you after walking out of the movie? >> she department say anything but she hugged me for a long time. after a while driving home, she just said, i'm sorry you had to go through that. and i said, it's okay, it's fine. it was my job. that's what i signed up to do. and believe it or not, s.e.a.l.s pray for situations like that, that's the stuff we want to get into. and we got what we wished for. >> take us back to that day for those of our audience members who don't yet know that story. put it in some context for us, specifically that clip we were seeing with mark wahlberg. >> it was a special mission. we were going after a high-value target with ties to osama bin laden. we were designed to go in with the green light to eliminate the threat, or we called in for the quick reactionary force and provided overwatch for the team. the scene you just saw is -- it's kind of the turning point. it was a pivotal moment in the mission. we got walked in on by civilian goat herders. we took charge of the situation ultimately turning them loose and then we relocated 45 minutes later. we got walked in on by a large malitia. >> you were working with hollywood actors, what did they want to know from you? >> the fine fundamental details of how we do business. in the beginning when we first started training these guys, we didn't cut them any slack. we threw them straight to the deep end of the pool. they had to learn tactics, verbiage, everything it takes to do a fluid shooting and moving and communicating kind of drill. and they got it. they didn't complain, they didn't do anything but work hard and try and learn our skillset. i guess it got deeper with that when they started asking questions about each guy that died up on the mountain that day, the personal questions, the private questions, that just allowed them to get into that role, even deeper than they thought they could. so i was real pleased with the way they did business. i never -- there was never any questions or i got upset or my teammates got upset about it. so they were all great. >> yet another reason to go see this movie this weekend. the movie is called "lone survivor" opening this weekend. it should be a big hit. i think all americans can do well by going to see it and putting this mission in context. marcus, we thank you so much for your service to this country and thank you for joining us this morning on "fox and friends" as always. thank you. >> yes, sir. take care. >> thank you, guys. coming up on "fox and friends weekend," diamonds are forever, right?

"i had been the secretary of defense for just over two years on january the 21st, 2009 but on that day i became the outsider, for the first several months it took a lot of discipline to sit quietly at the table as everyone from president obama on down took shots at president bush and his team. sitting there, i would often think to myself, am i invisible? discussions in the situation room allowed no room for discriminating analysis. everything was awful and obama and his team had arrived just in time to save the day." >> it was all about them and they did not want to hear diversion opinions about anything. you'd think the situation room would be the one place in the executive branch where discriminating analysis would take place but he said he was excluded. if you didn't agree you were not welcome to pipe up. you also get a sense on how totally out of touch president obama is with the military, security, the customs, the culture of it. this is the guy who referred repeatedly to corpsmen, of course the term is corpsmen after he was president and the book reinforces these guys have no idea what the military does. >> there was one particular discussion as it related to the 2009 troop surge in afghanistan. the president of course did not want 30,000 troops and discussions with military brass who were there on the field said we need 30,000 troops to combat the taliban, the summer offensive that was going to unfold very shortly. he said no, we're going to like 17,000. this was a fresh analysis from the field, but then came this one really startling revelation here in the book that secretary gates writes and i'm quoting here, he says "then came an exchange that is seared into my memory. biden said he was ready to move forward but the military should "consider the president's decision as an order. i'm giving an order, obama quickly jumped in. i was shocked, i never heard a president explicitly frame a direct order with the u.s. military, it's completely unnecessary. as secretary of defense i never issued an order to get something done nor had i heard any commander to do so. owe pa ma's order demonstrated the unfamiliarity of both men with american military culture." it sounds like something out of a movie or cop drama. >> he turned to the corpsmen and said that's an order? i'm ordering you? >> of course gates has an extensive background serving defense secretary there for 2006 to 2011 and really serving every president since nixon with the exception of bill clinton, and when the obama administration came in, he said that that was an issue that he had in relating to them was they had a lot of clinton comrades surrounding them and the communication barriers were tough for him. >> the guy is just not a leader. that's the portrait that emerges. gates doesn't say the president's dumb but he paints a picture of a guy who has no idea how to lead other people, who is not involved in the minutia, doesn't understand the things over which he has command, and ends up alienating the very people we need to protect our country. gates makes the point, though, larger point that we've lost an awful lot of capable military leaders during obama's first term. we had general gerry boykin, one of the great american heroes, we had him earlier on in the show, this is his explanation for why we've lost so many top brass >> when a military leader reaches the point where he can't follow the orders of the president he has a moral obligation to simply step forward, lay his stars on the table and say, "i'm done. i can no longer follow your orders." i can tell you from talking to some of the leadership in the military that many of them are leaving because they don't want to preside over the demise of the military and when you look at budget cuts and sequestration and a variety of other things, that's one of the reasons that they're leaving now. >> more on that, in fact secretary gates making a television appearance this morning, and we will try to bring some of that video to you, if there's anything relevant for our show we'll share it with you. >> we certainly will. >> we have a fox news alert and headlines we need to get to. your personal information could be in the hands of a hacker right now. over one-third of americans already exposed after massive security breaches impacting both target and neiman marcus. overnight reuters reporting three other well-known retailers suffered similar hacks but a smaller scale. sources not revealing specifics. the hacks taking place during the holiday season and earlier last year, meaning there really is no telling who could be at risk. thousands lining up to pay their respects. the former israeli prime minister ariel sharon, he died saturday at the age of 85 after eight years in a coma. state memorial is planned for tomorrow. the west virginia water crisis sparked by a massive chemical spill could drag on for days. this morning, hundreds of thousands of people are waking up for a third straight day without clean tap water. and crews say the cleanup is difficult, but they say it's progressing. >> i think the systems are working, all the trends are going in the right direction, and we're hoping that we keep going in that direction and don't see a reason why we won't. >> at least four people have been hospitalized for symptoms related to the spill. the west virginia poison control center says they fielded over 800 calls. all right, love this video. this teacher schooling his students on break dancing. >> wow! >> okay to teacher! whoa! yeah! >> "breaking 2: electric bugalu." >> the brooklyn high school teacher showed off his classic break dancing moves, the video posted just two days ago on youtube already getting over 100,000 views. >> did you have a cool teacher you remember?

>> thanks. despite the unemployment rate dropping to 6.7% the jobs market is not doing well according to every economist who has taken a look. for every person who found a job in december five stopped looking for work entirely. is the answer extending unemployment benefits. here kentucky democratic congressman john yarmuth and arizona republican congressman gosar. republicans argue if the president spent more time working on the economy and less time extending benefits we'd have a lower unemployment rate. how do you respond? >> the president put forward as long ago as three years and continues to talk about it a jobs creation program focusing on innovation and infrastructure and education. we've gotten no cooperation from republicans in congress so i think it's disingenuous when republicans haven't put forward any ideas for creating jobs. most importantly what we're talking about here are 1,450,000 people who are already cut off from their long-term unemployment benefits, people with 2 million kids in their house hol households and this is becoming a human crisis. there's a human side to this. there's an economic side to it, and we need to focus on all of those. >> congressman, democrats argue republicans can't possibly get in the way of helping this hurting group of unemployed people, too many of them. that's politically untenable. how do you respond? >> coming from a very rural area just like the congressman from kentucky, and my people, they're tired of being victims of an administration that doesn't understand that jobs are created in the private sector, not in the public sector like government. they're tired of being victims. they want a job to build their lot in life and experience the american dream. i don't know where the congressman was but we've had the raines act to allow creating job, the keystone pipeline, the skills act to retool them for the jobs of tomorrow. i don't know where he's been but we've always been at the table trying to create jobs, out in the environment for jobs because the private sector will create the jobs, not government. >> congressman yarmuth you want to extend unemployment benefits, fine. why not pay for it. why not take the money it's going to cost and cut it from something else. every government program has no fat that can't be cut in. >> these are what's called emergency unemployment benefits and fall under the same category as any other emergency. if we had a natural disaster, a calamity, 1 milli.3 million peo lost their income it would be paid for. >> you don't suspend the rules of math because there's an emergency, do you? >> we actually do, yes, we do. >> maybe that's the problem. >> it's just a question of what the responsibility of government is to help our needy citizens, and we've got a situation here where long-term unemployment is at the highest level it's ever been since they've kept records since 1946. when president bush extended unemployment benefits he didn't ask for offsets. this is something that again 14 out of 17 times when we've raised, when we've extended the benefits we haven't asked for offsets. the other thing is, tucker, if you're going to provide unemployment benefits, emergency benefits you might as well try to get the stimulative effect and the economists that have looked at this, not everyone, have said that if you extend benefits it's 240,000 to 300,000 jobs that are created. so again, there's a broader impact to the economy you have to continue, too. >> mr. gosar, where should the money come from, in the short time we have left? >> this has to be paid for. there's lots of different things. you look at the waste, fraud and abuse in davis bacon, $100 billion right there. there's a lot of opportunities here, tucker but the other side doesn't understand math, is that the president says for every $1 you spend in unemployment you get $1.80 back. i don't know what kind of economic math that actually comes to. that means every one of us should go on unemployment and actually have a stimulated economy. that's absolutely ridiculous. >> gentlemen thank you for talking to us this morning for that debate. i appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> thank you. >> thank you. he's the only man to make it out alive from afghanistan on a s.e.a.l. mission that went wrong. his incredible story on the big story the real life lone survivor. can't graduate no problem. lawmakers want to lower the bar. what do you think of that?

>> i never get plastic surgery without first consulting "us weekly" i'm totally with you on that. speaking of helping them in the long run, schools once again lowering the bar for students, in new mexico it turns out less than 70% of all high school students actually graduate from high school so the state has a new plan, just lower the standards and give a new kind of diploma. >> this is sickening. two different diplomas they're proposing, it will establish the current diploma system of excellence and then it will create a new one called the general diploma. so instead of requiring kids to learn math and science skills it will just lower the bar so that these kids can graduate anyway. right now the united states ranks 28th in the world for math and science skills. we plummeted since the 1970s, i think in the 1970s we were ranked first in the world. instead of educating our children, bringing more knowledge to our brains -- >> i don't think people ask the question, what is different? we had teachers unions then, teachers unions now. we have' had them for a long time. what changed since 1970? massive amounts of immigration, people who don't speak english don't do well in school and the total collapse of the family. half the house holds in america, half the children are born to single parents. we know for a fact kids growing up without a father don't do as well in school. >> what about the curricula in. >> it's changed for sure but those are the two major changes nobody mentions. like this is happening in a vacuum and yes there are crummy teachers but bigger changes underfood. >> we want our kids educated so they don't have a piece of paper or diploma, so they can be more productive citizens of a community and of a society so if they're having such an issue with this, you know, i don't know that lowering the requirements is a better idea. how about they're not going to get a diploma to go to college, why not work on the trade schools that can make them be productive citizens and have some sort of skills to give back to the community. >> a lot of those jobs recession proof, you need a plumber during a recession, you need a carpenter during a recession. eddie writes "just go ahead and give kids diplomas after fourth grade and put them on welfare and be done with it." >> well we're getting close to that. larry writes "sounds luke a good idea, when i was in school there were social passing grades because we need truck drivers, and those jobs can be done without a diploma." you fear those not graduating in new mexico are not becoming truck drivers. it's hard to become a truck driver. >> and difficult to become a plumber and car penner is. you have to know a lot of things. let us know what you this by that, weigh in on our twitter page, ffweekend, and also facebook as well. some stories making headlines on your sunday morning, the verdict is in, alex rodriguez, yankees third baseman, suspended for the entire 2014 season including the playoffs. major league baseball's chief witness in the case anthony bosch telling "60 minutes" he injected the slugger because a-rod was "scared of needles." a-rod vowing to fight the suspension in federal court. experts say the odds are against him. the movie "lone survivor" is get so long popular a movie theater in texas stopped showing other movies so it could play "lone survivor" on more screens. this picture posted on twitter shows the sign the theater posted, even canceling hits like "american hustle" and "the wolf of wall street." we spoke with the retired navy s.e.a.l. the movie is based op. on what the support is like. >> i'm happy with it. i this i that all the stories that float around this country and the world and they decided to do this particular story to make the movie out of is, it's a great honor. >> the movie took in $14.4 million in the first day alone. experts are saying it could hit $38 million by the end of the weekend. this next video takes a college trip to a whole new level. ♪ ♪ gimme, gimme your, gum me your attention baby ♪ ♪ i got to tell you a little something about yourself ♪ >> big pants. >> exactly. spent three months in china and decided to dance his way through the country. he says he was there on a study abroad program and wanted to document his jurourney in a unie way. >> this is what young kids are doing. >> it totally confuses the chinese. that just set them back in their race against the united states by a decade or more. >> the panda is getting in on the action. >> bewildered confusion. when he withent to beijing we couldn't see him through the smog, the terrible carcinogens in the area. >> that's the picture he should have had the camera five feet away. who was taking the video?
