game yesterday. turned into an all-out brawl between crosstown rivals. we'll let you see more of this. we know suspensions are coming. you're not going to believe what some of the players said after the game. also, many of you b-- i kno you're dreading it -- the in-laws are coming for the holidays. that may stress you out and some of that stress may come from religious differences. all it that in our "faces of faith," tips how to deal with it. let's start with the presidential debate from last night. you could tell we're getting close to the first votes. last night we heard a lot of back-and-forth and a lot of it actually got perm, maybe even more so than we've heard in the past. take a quick listen. >> if you will cheat on your wife, if you will cheat on your spouse, then why wouldn't you cheat on your business partner or why wouldn't you cheat on anybody, for that matter. >> i've made mistakes at times. i've had to go to god for forgiveness. i've had to seek reconciliation but i'm also a 68-year-old grand farther and i think people have to measure who i am now and whether i'm a person that they can trust. >> you saw the picture of newt gingrich's wife as well. you heard rick perry certainly go personal there. let me bring in paul steinhauser, our deputy political director. man, from the tone of this last night is it clear we are getting closer to the time it is time to start counting some votes? >> i think you could tell from that. we're just over three weeks away from those iowa caucuses, the first contest in the republican primaries and caucuses. yeah, time's awasting for these candidates, no doubt about that. a lot changed since the last debate. that was our cnn debate in washington, d.c. before thanksgiving. back in those days newt gingrich's poll numbers were on the rise but he wasn't the front-runner. according to our polls and other organizations as well, the former house speaker is the front-runner here in iowa. some of the other early voting states and nationally. what happens then? you get a bull's-eye on your back. we saw that last night. the other rivals for the nomination going after gingrich. listen to this exchange between mitt romney who used to be the front-runner and gingrich over who was the career politician and who isn't. take a listen. >> we have differences of viewpoint on some issues but the real difference i believe is our backgrounds. i spent my life in the private sector. i understand how the economy works. >> the only reason you didn't become a career politician is you lost to tedty kennedy in 1994. >> now wait a second. wait a second. >> remember those controversial comments as well yesterday morning? we were talking about this a lot, gingrich's comments about whether the palestinian people were an invented people. he defended those comments, explained them last night but romney, as well, attacking him on that. it was pretty contentious between those two. ron paul also mixing it up. as we said the clock it tis tic. this is one of the last chances to really reach out to these voters here in iowa who still haven't made up their minds before they go to those caucuses on january 3rd. >> paul, help us understand maybe even the buzz afterwards with -- for something that may have been the moment of the night when mitt romney, he says he wants to bet rick perry $10,000 over a particular issue and explain as well why that's a problem for a guy who's trying to make a connection that he's some kind of every man. >> yeah, exactly. this has been kind of an ongoing thing between those two gentlemen for a couple of debates, rick perry critical of what romney wrote on health care and whether mitt romney was supportive of mandating health care insurance for all americans. romney said enough is enough already. let's make a $10,000 bet about what's really in my book. the problem is, yeah, mitt romney is a multi-millionaire and in tough economic times if you try to reach out a average americans a $10,000 bet seems kind of extravagant. last night it was what we were talking about and a lot of others and it was trending online. >> paul steinhauser, thank you, as always. talk to you again soon. coming up in 30 minutes we'll talk to our "state of the union" anchor candy crowley see what she has coming your way at the top of the hour at 9:00 eastern time but she'll join me here in about 30 minutes. at least two people were killed when mexico was shaken by a moderate earthquake. one was crushed inside a house. this was a 6.5 magnitude earthquake that hit southern mexico, about 100 miles from mexico city. this is an i-report here from mexico city where there were several blackouts after the quake. syrian protesters have three days to stop or they'll be attack? that's the warning from the syrian government to the people in the city in homs. the military has reportedly positioned dozens of military vehicles just outside that city. the city has become the epicenter for anti-government protests there. manuel noriega is on his way back to panama. the former panamanian leader is being sent back by the french government to possibly face a trial for the killing of one of his political opponents. noriega was removed from power by u.s. forces 22 years ago. he spent the past two decades in a u.s. prison before going to france. iran says they're not giving back a u.s. spy drone they say they shot down. iranian tv showing this video of the plane but american officials have not confirmed that this drone even belongs to the u.s. but they are saying that a u.s. drone went missing over afghanistan and hasn't been recovered. the head of u.s. special forces in afghanistan making some news. admiral william mccraven is revealing plans to triple the size after controversial afghan military walsh. nick paton walsh live in kabul. how often do we hear from this guy? >> reporter: this is the head of one of the most secretive parts of the u.s. military, the architect behind the raid that killed osama bin laden in may this year. a man who rarely speaks on the record at all. we had a very rare audience with him only yesterday. the key point he wants to address was his desire for his unit to help build what's called the afghan local police. that's been described a community watch with ak-47s. its local guys being given weapons by the police there to look after their own villagers to try and keep the insurgency out. great success with special forces in the past they say because it allows them to shore up certain areas in the kind of lawless rural parts of afghanistan where the taliban may otherwise get a foothold. admiral mcraven wants to raise the size of that force from 10,000 to 30,000 in the next two years saying that will significantly help improve security here but i imagine the price tag will be pretty cheap -- $170 million a year to keep a force of that size of 30,000 going. there is some controversy though about this particular group. human rights watch have released a report accusing them already of abuses in some areas where they operate, something admiral mcraven was keen to deny saying he's not actually seen evidence that in fact some of these groups when created enhanced tribal rivalries between various communities. so a contentious plan but one they say will help bring security to other parts of afghanistan. >> nick payton wa ton waton wal afghanistan. everybody was stunned to see the ending of this college basketball. a cross-town rivalry can get seated there in cincinnati, but nothing like this. a brawl breaks out just second left on the clock and this is what happens. but maybe even the more shocking part is what one of the players was saying after the game. we'll let you hear it yourself. also a little later we go to prison with actress holly robinson peete. stay with us. okay-y... okay???

"usa today" interviewed him last night, asked him about the positive test. he said, quote, unquote, it's bs. >> this is one of the new rising young stars from a different era. >> people you talk to say it just doesn't seem in his character to take steroids and in the past he's blasted players who have done it and he said to players if you've done it, you should come out and admit that you've done it. we'll see what happens. >> the other ugly story yesterday from this rivalry in cincinnati. >> remember, these two schools, t.j., are only separated by just 2.3 miles. cincinnati-xavier. it is a heated rivalry. leading up to this game there were some words exchanged throughout the week in the media and unfortunately those verbal jabs just got physical. with nine second remaining, xavier's player went after cincy's player. mayhem. you see both players. cincinnati's gates a playmaker over the top. that's xavier's kenny free suffering a severe cut over his eye. they called it with xavier winning 76-53. now afterwards xavier's holloway morals defended his actions, why his coach would even let him get up there i don't know but take a listen for yourself. >> you know, that's what you're going to see from xavier and cincinnati. and we got disrespected a little bit before the game, guys calling us out. we're a tougher team. we're grown men over here. we got a whole bunch of gangsters in our locker room. we went there and zipped them up at the end of the game. that's our motto, zip them up. >> if you're a head coach i don't know you want your player saying we're a bunch of gangsters. >> i was screaming at the television when i heard that. >> i'm sure a lot of people watching are saying the same thing. supposed to be college basketball, sportsmanship, you're talking about we got a bunch of gangsters in there. cincinnati's head coach went on afterward and said this is the most embarrassed that i've ever been. a got a lot of guys that i went in there and took their jerseys off. he said take your jerseys off, i don't know if i want you a part of this cincinnati bearcats team. >> i could forgive the heat of the moment, things happen, but to afterwards go out and say we got gangsters? somebody talk to that kid, please. >> yeah. when you first saw the highlights you're like, my gosh. when you see the press conference, you're like really. >> all right, ray d'alessio, some rough stories this morning. but thank you, as always. 17 minutes past the hour. michigan store selling fireplace equipment gets a letter of apoll gi and they get some cash for a theft that took place 30 years ago. we'll have that for you. then i'd be like, you rule! and my kids would be like, you rule! oh, load up the sleigh; this is going to be a great christmas.

want to hear your thoughts. we've been asking for your confessions. i've been kind of shocked some of you confessing some of the stuff you're confessing but if it is true. i'm reading it right here as i anchor the show @tjholmes. bonnie, anything you want to confess? >> do i like the warmer weather. >> oh, stop! that's no good. >> i'll think of something a little bit more exciting. we're on the subject of weather and t.j., we were talking about how warm it's been in the northeast. i decided to dig up some records and show you a little bit about it. in new york city, for example, it has been really warm in november. the normal average high temperatures a little bit above 53 degrees but the average for this past november was up to 58 and it is not just new york but further to the north it's also been pretty mild. we are also looking at unseasonably mild conditions in boston, for example. can you see that the normal november average high was 51. the average this one -- 58. that makes it the second-warmest november on record. but everything is changing. just like the weather in the northeast. you don't like the weather? it will change. we are looking a current temperatures right now that are below freezing. first time in a while. 29 degrees in philadelphia. milder conditions though as we go through the afternoon. it is also chilly to start us off in the south. we've got 33 degrees in birmingham, alabama. warming up today, which will be nice, but we have wet weather for those of you traveling. looking at that in texas and the wet weather there is actually beneficial because it's been so dry of course in cities like san antonio and austin. be careful if you're traveling because we have a light glaze of ice, visibility less than a quarter of a mile in west texas. we saw that yesterday with the freezing fog. overall this weekend has been really nice for weather for early december. >> i believe you how warm it was. bonnie schneider, thank you. 22 minutes past the hour now. coming up, a lot of people are going to be spending holidays with your family. it can be stressful sometimes. especially with the in-laws. we have some tips on how to deal with the possible dlash clash o cultures, maybe even a clash of religion. that's on "faces of faith." we have the right to speak our mind in this country. that's a tough lesson for an american living in thailand serving a 2 1/2-year sentence for criticizing the country's royal family. that's in our morning passport with nadia bilchik. that's on the way. stay here. good morning to nadia bilchik. >> good morning. >> with our "morning passport." i'm smiling but the story will put a frown on some people's faces. 500 lashes and jail. what did this guy do? >> yes. he went to saudi arabia, he actually went to medina on a pilgrimage. there he was accused of blast blasphemy. he was sentenced to first two years, reduced to one and 500 lashes for blasphemy. according to authorities, apparently he said something bad about the proeft mohammphet moh his family which i find strange because he went to medina. the saudi arabian authorities have been very quiet about this. obvious tli causes huge international reaction. the people who are responding are the australian officials saying this is absolutely preposterous and his family are saying the man has diabetes, he has back problems, he will never survive 500 lashes. >> when is it supposed to be carried out? >> well, it remains to be seen. we need to remember that in saudi arabia, they practice a very puritanical strain of islam and lashings is not usual. remember we did the story earlier of the woman driving sentenced to ten lashes, rescinded by king abdullah and there was the concept abdullah is becoming a reformer but this sentence at this point has not been revoked so it does remain to be seen. one would think with all this international attention with the australian officials at the highest levels weighing in that this will not happen. so let's see if in fact he ever does get his 500 lashes or his year in prison and let's hope not. but interesting enough, in thailand, another story about freedom of speech. a thai-born american has just got 2 1/2 years in thailand for an insault to the monarchy. what he did was he took the illegal -- well, the banned biography of the king of thailand and he translated it into english. this is the unauthorized biography. so what he got when he went back to thailand for doing that, just an unauthorized biography, not totally complimentary to the royal family in thailand -- 2 1/2 years. >> he didn't write it, he actually just translated it? >> he just translated it into english. for doing that, 2 1/2 years. what do these two stories show us? again just how we value freedom of speech here in this country. something we take for granted. so there in saudi arabia, 500 lashes and a year for so-called blasphemy, and then joe gordon in thailand, 2 1/2 years for speaking out against the king who by the way is 84 and the longest reigning monarch in the world. >> can you say anything about anybody in this country almost and get away with it. unfortunately, some people don't need to be talking. but still you have the right to say what you want to say. >> that's what these two stories really make us realize and just appreciate what we have. please, don't say anything you feel like it, especially not today. >> nadia bilchik with our "morning passport." coming up on the bottom of the hour. last night a lot of topics in the republican debate including the topic of cleheating on your wife. they really went after the front-runner last night. we'll talk toni crowley. but first, the holiday visit to the in-laws' house could be a stressful time of year. especially if there are religious differences. dealing with the clash of cultures.

joining us, the authors of a new book called "becoming a couple of destiny," bishop joseph walker and his wife, dr. stephanie walker joining us from their church in nashville, tennessee. good to have you both. really, this is how it goes. right? you can pick your wife is how it goes, but you can't pick your wife's family. >> that's right. >> that's absolutely right. but it is a package deal. >> it comes with the family. so how about let's start with this. how do you decide which family to go to in the first place in that could be stressful before you even get to the holiday. >> we've just developed a system. for us we end up in louisiana for thanksgiving, and for her family we actually go to los angeles for christmas and it is really about having a serious discussion about what traditions and things are important for those particular families and it works out very well. >> it works out well if you're getting along and you can all agree necessarily. but sometimes people go back and forth and fight about which family. what did you do bring into the equation religious differences. how do you try to make that work? >> i think it is really important po clearly talk to one another and make sure that you guys are on the same page and when there are religious differences making sure that you are understanding of whatever those differences are. i think speaking to one another before you guys get there, making sure the other spouse is well aware of what they're going to see or what they're really getting into. i think that's really important to make sure that you're on the same page before you arrive so there is no surprises. >> would you all ever recommend that maybe you are better off just doing your own thing and maybe leave the two families out of it? >> well, i think it is important to understand -- really i call it the aaa effect. really you have to come to a place in your marriage or relationship with acceptance, really understanding the family is very, very important and you can't be in a marital silo so you have to learn how to accept differences and be willing to deal with that. secondly, is to really have some adaptability, learn how to adapt to various things that you may not necessarily know. for me it was skiing. i had never skied before but i've learned how to ski because my wife's family skis for christmas and this kind of thing. it is really about understanding the allegiance. that means your wife, your husband, your spouse is the most important person in that whole family for you because, remember, a happy spouse makes a happy house. >> you're a good brother, because i don't know you well at all but you don't look like the skiing type if i have to say. >> you're right about that. >> i was talking about religion there and i'll let you jump in here, dr. walker. talking about religious differences. but sometimes there's just a difference of traditions and some of the things you all have responded to here, it sounds like the holidays just like anything in marriage have to do with compromise. >> absolutely. i think for us, we first came together we just really talked about what was important to ourselves and to our respective families and for a bishop, his family gets together on thanksgiving, they come from all over the country. he was just really passionate about that being an important holiday for his family versus our family, it is the opposite. everyone comes together for christmas and so that was somewhat of an easy compromise for us. he was very passionate about thanksgiving, our family was very passionate about christmas so as a result we're in louisiana for thanksgiving holidays and we're in los angeles and skiing in lake tahoe or any other ski area on the west coast for christmas. so, yeah. >> well, i applaud you. you all have a good time on the slopes, and i have all of my in-laws coming to our house for christmas. so it is going to be six of the brother in laws, sister and laws and all their significant others. i know you all have church service going on so pray for me, would you?
