>> right. >> at the local fox affiliate in atlanta, at which time she also showed her cell phone. when she put out her cell phone, this is herman cain's cell phone number. they called it and he called back and said nothing has gone. on i tried to help her out financially. that's it. >> this is a woman who has had a number of evictions -- she's got a troubled financial past, we should make that clear right up front. she's declared -- she's been bankrupt, numerous evictions in dekalb county, georgia. once she was sued successfully for libel by a former business partner and she's struggled to find work and mr. cain gave her money at least once. the big question is why would she come out now? here's ginger white on the fox affiliate. >> i wanted to come out and give my side before it was thrown out there and made out to be something, you know, filthy which some people will look at it at this and say that's exactly what it is. and i'm sorry for that. >> she says that she came out to answer your question why, we'll never know completely why somebody decides to come out and tell her story. this is what she said. it bothers me they were being demonized speaking about the other women who have come forward about the section -- sexual harassment claims, we were being treated as they're automatically lying and the burden of proof is on them. that troubled her and she made it clear that herman cain did not sexually harass her. it was a different kind of a relationship. >> yeah. here's more on ginger and herman. >> very much the same. very much very much sure of himself. very arrogant in a playful way. very herman cain loves herman cain. >> there you've got ginger white talking about what herman cain is like away from the cameras. interesting enough, before the story broke on the atlanta affiliate of fox down there, herman cain just so happened to be on cnn and apparently, they spotted some of the tweets from that station about this blockbuster story so they did ask him on cnn, wolf blitzer did, about this alleged affair. >> was this an affair? >> no, it was not. >> there was no sex? >> no. >> ok. >> what was it? >> and herman cain also said here we go again and i think it's going to be up to the american public about, you know, what you believe and what you don't. here's what cain's lawyer said about it. this is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace. this is not an accusation of assault which are subject matters to a legitimate inquiry, this appears to be an allegation of private, sexual alleged m affair between adults. >> do you want to wrestle with issue again and again and again and again? according to one prominent, this is how he's described in the column today, a political correspondent with "the daily news", he says one g.o.p. elder told him he is done. he will not make it until january 3rdrd. his behavior and his lying is fatal. here's brit hume last night in the very question. >> i think, bill, he might have been able to weather this if at the same time he hadn't run into so much trouble on the question of his knowledge of world issues. and i think that the combination of the -- of the allegations from the women and the difficulty he had in grappling and coming to grips with grappling with and coming to grips with foreign policy questions that he's been asked in interviews and debates and so on has combined to put him on a slide downward. >> here's the thing. what is he known for? his charisma and his character? what's been attacked? his character big time. i don't think that herman cain is the answer on foreign policy. was he a guy that can grow into position? look what he did in business. another one of these stories which is something that republicans worried about not winning the white house can't afford to nominate somebody like that. >> he moved to the fact that i heard something this morning that he might consider getting out of the race because of the toll that this would take on his family. and his wife. not necessarily his endurance and perseverance to continue but what this would mean to his family. >> meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about this, if you've been watching the debates all, what, 152 of them on the republican side, you know that so far, newt gingrich has been very cordial with the other candidates and, in fact, invoked ronald reagan's 11th commandment, thou shall not attack thy fellow republican. you know what? yesterday during a swing -- three day swing down through south carolina, he actually broke that a little bit and did some attacking on mitt romney saying look, mitt is a great guy but i'm much more conservative than mr. romney. >> don't claim to be a perfect candidate but more conservative than mitt romney. i think i'm the one candidate that can bring together a national security conservatives and the economic conservatives and social conservatives in order to make sure we have a conservative nominee. i wouldn't lie to the american people. i wouldn't switch my positions for political reasons. >> it would be interesting to know what the question was to that. the question probably was how are you different from mitt romney? i think that's a fair response to how he believes that he's different. what will be interesting is in the next debate, will those two be center stage because they're tops in the polls right now and then will newt gingrich take more of a swipe at mitt romney? that will be the interesting thing. >> when newt says i've changed my positions because he believes the facts have changed and that's why he changes positions. he'll have to back up that statement. he believes mitt romney changes positions for pure politics. just by waiking -- waking up, romney was attacked by john huntsman and the dnc. they put together a spot talking about you how he differs on positions like abortion, health care and immigration. >> don't worry. he's not the only one being attacked. the mainstream media not surprisingly enough attacking newt gingrich who right now, according to the real clear politics national poll, newt is up by 2.5 over mitt romney and there's a fellow by the name of aaron blake who works at the fix which is one of the blogs at the "washington post" and he posted this. hey, tweets, look for outlandish/incorrect predictions and quotes from newt gingrich's past. any ideas for me? keep in mind, this is from "the washington post" which just five short months ago was enlisting their readers to go ahead and help them go through the governor sarah palin e-mails looking for dirt on her. >> can you research it? i'm a little tired. i got a club to go to. >> they don't have the internet at "the washington post"? they can't google it? >> i don't know. anyway, let us know what you think about that story. i got to give you some of the other headlines making news today. a huge development in the case of missing florida mom michelle parker. police now naming parker's ex-fiance dale smith jr. as their primary suspect. they say he refused to take a polygraph test. michelle's mother just wants, of course, to find her daughter. >> in my heart, i know she's out there somewhere. and we need her. we need to find her. we still need searchers. we still need the flyers. and this is a sad day really, you know? but i think it was inevitable. >> parker disappeared november 17th, the same day after the couple's case appeared on "the people's court." she was last seen dropping off their twins at smith's. gary giordano is getting out of jail tonight in aruba but he's not in the clear necessarily. investigators still consider him a suspect in the case of american robin gardner. the 35-year-old went missing in august in aruba. prosecutors appealed the judge's decision to release him but a hearing won't be held until tomorrow night. giordano could be extradited back to arube if new evidence surfaces. new evidence in the m.f. global scandal. according to a new report, almost $200 million of the money found now. was discovered in a j.p. morgan account in britain. the funds reportedly transferred days before the firm went belly up. congress waiting to hear if the former ceo of the firm, jon corzine, the former governor of new jersey will testify at a hearing. the governor hasn't responded. police releasing the 911 call tiffany joyce made moments before she lost control and plunged into a canal. she fell asleep at the wheel after an overnight shift on black friday. >> what's your emergency? >> i'm in the water. i'm floating in the water. >> are you in the car? >> i'm still in the car. >> ok, any way to get out? >> no. i don't know how deep the water is. >> is the water around your waist now or around your legs? >> no. it's coming up to the seat now. >> to make matters worse, witnesses just stood there and watched joyce who didn't know how to swim. florida deputy sheriff rushed to the scene and saved the 36-year-old woman. she is doing fine. wow. what a story. and those are your headlines. i hope when the dispatcher is asking all those questions, she immediately was dispatching people to go to the scene. not how high is the water? >> i thought i was going to have -- i have not been trained in 911 phone conversations. straight ahead, one of the best soundbites that governor christie ever presented. he has a question for president obama? >> then what the hell are we paying you for? it's doomed for failure so i'm not getting involved? what have you been doing exactly? >> love that! and that's not all christie had to say, find out what. then a playboy gets slapped for a lawsuit for discriminating against men. no. we're not kidding. how do they do that? details straight ahead on this lowdown tuesday. >> as a man, i'm insulted by this video. my name is jill strange, i'm forty-nine years-old, i love gardening, and i love volleyball. i've been taking osteo bi-flex for several years now. i really can't see myself not taking it. osteo bi-flex is a great product. i can go back and do gardening with comfort.

[ malannouncer ] osteo bi-flex. the #1 doctor and pharmacist recommended brand. >> liberal massachusetts congressman democrat barney frank announced yesterday big news, he's calling it quits. >> i do not choose to run for congress in 2012. >> last year, particularly around the time of the signing of the financial reform bill, i tentatively decided i was going to make this my best term. >> one of the advantages to me of not running for office is i don't even have to pretend to try to be nice to people i don't like. >> well, stuart varney joins us right now with the eulogy on frank's controversial career. one of the things he said at the press conference is essentially they're redistricting and it would be harder for me to get re-elected. last time he squeaked by. people are on to him. he has fouled up the financial system. >> millions of americans, middle america have lost their homes, lost the money in their homes in part because of what barney frank did. he encouraged people to buy homes which they could not afford. he encouraged these liar loans and did nothing about them. and all the way through the early part of the last decade, he did absolutely nothing to stop this bubble developing and he did nothing about it when it burst. in 2003, he said the fannie and freddie, government housing agencies said "they're fundamentally sound." that's 2003. >> that's when the bush administration was trying to reform it. >> the following year, the bush administration still trying to reform it, he said i don't think we're in any danger here. in other words, fannie and freddie is doing just fine. 2005, a reporter famously ran up to him and said what happens if these people can't repay these liar loans? these subprime loans? he said we'll worry about that if it happens. that was 2005. in 2007, he became the chairman of the house financial services committee in january of that year, then the housing bubble burst. what did he do? he did nothing about it. in fact, when bush tried to reform fannie and freddie again in 2007, he dismissed it as being inane. >> yesterday, when he was actually asked which is stunning that he was asked a question about that, he blamed president bush for the entire housing crisis. >> yes. he blames president bush and he blames the banks and then he goes on to author this financial reform legislation, dodd-frank which conveniently leaves out fannie and freddie completely. they're not subject to reform. oh, no, it's only those wicked banks, we're going to suppress the wicked bankers. they're the ones that are responsible for the housing bubble. outrageous. >> we had a chance years before the housing bubble and the subprime mortgage blowup to fix it and he stood in the way. >> he did and he's -- he would never take any responsibility for what he's done. he shows no embarrassment, no shame, he's never apologized. >> he thought everybody in america should have a house whether they could afford it or not. >> yes and then shoehorned people into houses which they clearly could not afford and then allowed these liar loans to go through. you know, do you remember those? the no documentation? you didn't need a job, you didn't need proof of income, nothing, just i want money and you get it. >> the other interesting part of this equation, though, is he saw the writing on the wall potentially about his re-ele re-electability because of this redistricting change, a couple of conservative towns and one of the most liberal towns are going to be out and conservative towns are going to be in his district. >> you're right much -- the writing was on the wall. he would face a tough re-election fight. he faced a tough fight in 2010. he won by a fairly slim margin and have to spend an awful lot of money to win. he saw the writing on the wall. he's gone. >> maxine waters probably will take over his place on the committee. i'm sure you'll be talking about that on "varney & company" on the fox business network. stu, thanks. >> i'll join you for the first hour. looking forward to it. >> yes, you will. >> his nickname, sweet satan? he's the guy that trained many of the navy seals that took out bin laden. he'll join us with all the details next. >> they punched the clock to smoke some pot. military contractors getting wasted on their lunch break. oh, boy. ok, people. show me the best way to design a vacation on a budget with expedia. make it work. booking a flight by itself is an uh-oh. see if we can "stitch" together a better deal. that's a hint, antoine. ooh! see what anandra did? booking your flight and hotel at the same time gets you prices hotels and airlines won't let expedia show separately. book it. major wow factor! where you book matters. expedia. is all the wrapping a gift needs. wait a minute...i...

[ male announcer ] make the switch. take action. take advil. >> 23 minutes after the top of the hour on this tuesday. michael jackson's former doctor, conrad murray faces four years in prison. they are asking for probation. prosecutors want them to pay jackson's children $120 million for the singer's lost wages and funeral expenses and a massive explosion reportedly rocks an iranian city. no word if the plant was part of the explosion. this comes two weeks after an accidental explosion in tehran that killed 20 iranians after members of the revolutionary guard were moving ammo. it happens. brian? >> all right. usama bin laden was captured and killed, until then most americans hadn't heard of seal team six. now people want to know more about these heroes who do their job in secret and get very little acclaim. he's a former member of seal team six and he details his training in his brand new book, detailing life as part of america's elite warriors. are you comfortable saying seal team six, originally you weren't supposed to talk about it, right? >> right. may 1st, president obama went out and mentioned seal team six killed bin laden. it was a shock to us all that he was saying seal team six. we never heard it on radio or the press. we never could say seal team six. i still feel somewhat uneasy but i'm ok with it. >> publishers found you and they said talk about the raid. you said i'm not talking about the raid. i don't have the classified information. talk about what life is like as a seal. you were an unlikely seal. you were a kid in high school with no direction who never opened his textbooks and couldn't find his locker. how did you transform your life? >> i did not have any direction at all. i had energy. i had energy. and i knew that energy had to be channelled somewhere. i didn't know where. i thought initially it would be as a police officer. i couldn't sit there in a classroom to go to the police academy or anything like that. but when i saw the video on what seal training was like and i saw the guys running down the beach and shooting and diving and parachuting, i knew at that moment somehow i was fortunate enough to find that. i knew at that moment there was nothing else i wanted to do in life. >> you joined the marines? >> i joined the navy as a medic in station with the marines. >> in station with the marines and then you get the call after years to go be a navy seal and to do that, the training begins. the most taxing part of the training is? >> hell week. >> hell week is basic underwater seal school, 26-week school to become a seal, the fifth week is hell week and in that week, you really don't sleep and they come in and they're shooting at blanks and grenades and yelling and screaming but you're doing hundreds of thousands of pushups and pullups and sit-ups and sand writing and the inflatable bullets and you lose half your class that week. >> right and you stuck it out and you end up acquiring a few nicknames. dr. death. sweet satan. and high mileage. >> high mileage seal. >> first dr. death, how did you get that? >> i was a medic and i had received quite -- the navy sent me through quite a bit of medical training but right after i received that medical training, i started to be around a lot of accidents which i liked because i was able to take care of my fellow seals. but whenever there is a terrible accident or some type of injury, i happened to be there so i got the nickname dr. death. >> sweet satan given to you by an older woman. >> sweet satan, she -- i was putting on a seal event for civilians and this lady is very upset with me because she said you're saying things so nicely, you sound like a nice guy but you're being really mean to them in telling them what to do. that's from an older woman. >> how long have you been out? >> out since 1998. >> how in touch are you with the community? >> i stay in touch with community and i still work with guys who want to go in the seal training and we put on these events for them to train them and to show them what hell week is like. >> it takes a special person to become a navy seal. you were that and by chronicling what you were like in high school and early on, it gives a lot of people hope that maybe if they're not close now, they can quickly turn their lives around. privilege to meet you, thank you very much for doing it and for your service. governor chris christie has a question for president obama. >> tea party movement and occupy movement but i believe that the cause for their anger comes from the same place. they look at washington, d.c. and they look at a president who is -- >> that's not all he had to say. you'll find out. and "playboy" gets slapped with a lawsuit for discrimination. sued for being bias against men. we're not kidding. how many men are offended in this room? no hands are up. happy birthday, new york mets pitcher mariano rivera. i know he's watching.

[ john ] i'm grill master john mazany. i'm grill master adrianna hollis. and we sea food differently. no, i wouldn't use that single miles credit card. hey, aren't you... shhh. i'm researchg a role. today's special... the capital one venture card. you earn double miles on every purchase. impressive. chalk is a lost medium. if you're not earning double miles... you're settling for half. was that really necessary? [ male announcer ] get the venture card at capitalone.com and earn double miles on every purchase every day. what's in your wallet? cover for me. i have an audition. the other office devices? they don't get me. they're all like, "hey, brother, doesn't it bother you that no one notices you?" and i'm like, "doesn't it bother you you're not reliable?" and they say, "shut up!" and i'm like, "you shut up." in business, it's all about reliability. 'cause these guys aren't just hitting "print." they're hitting "dream." so that's what i do. i print dreams, baby. [whispering] big dreams. >> it's cyber monday. you check google for the latest gift trends and you ask where the cheapest one can be found. you order on line from a customer rep from india and you get the goods shipped from china and you get your credit card information stolen from a guy in my nigeria. >> or stolen by a waiter here in new york. >> we're all poised if you don't mind saying so to inherit a lot of money from nigeria. >> i won the lottery! >> all they want is a phone number and social security number. >> and i was told this isn't something to brag about but i decided about six months ago to start answering all of them. >> right. >> so when people say you inherited a bunch of money. i said could you send it to me? this is fantastic. let me know how to get the jewels and -- >> do they write back? >> no, it usually kills them off. they can't believe how gullible i am. >> are you also responding to the herbal viagra from thailand? >> that was between me and you, we were talking about that during the break. it's not really from thailand. but i don't know that. >> let's talk about governor christie. he doesn't need a drug to tell you how he thinks. he's usually on fire when he's asked political questions. he said over the weekend he was very angry when he started to think about the super committee and the debacle that was and more importantly whether or not the president was leading in that situation. here is chris christie talking about president obama and the super committee. >> listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the super committee and that the president knew it was doomed for failure so he didn't get involved, what the hell are we paying you for? it's doomed for failure so i'm want getting involved? what have you been doing exactly? why the president of the united states refuses to do this is astonishing to me. i mean, you know, if he wanted to run for senate again and just be one of 100, i'm sure he could have gotten re-elected over and over again in illinois. when you're president, it's not good enough to say i'll get it done after the election. >> he, by the way, is in a kitchen in camden, new jersey, in those images where he was giving some comments regarding a drug program mandated by the courts of new jersey and somebody asked him a question about the super committee and away he went. >> just to qualify, you know, governor chris christie, the average person might go another republican governor mad at the president. he likes the president. president tour, they toured around the flood areas and he said i like him personally but where his -- he's critical is not even his decisions, his lack of decisions. he has to stand up and say this is my thing. the oval office needs an occupant. >> that's what he's saying, we've discussed on this show ad nauseum, that's the president's campaign strategy to do nothing because it's easier to blame congress in the end. >> if he does nothing, can't congress now say wait a minute, they say we're do nothing. what about the do nothing president? >> they have a lower approval rating than the president. their standing isn't so hot either. what does it mean for you and for the economy? remember last week, we said that when the super committee failed, what will this mean about another downgrade by those ratings agencies that we have here? well, guess what? fitch, one of those ratings agencies now coming to the forefront saying that they might go from stable to negative. they say, "by postponing the difficult decisions on tax and spending until after forthcoming congressional and presidential elections, the scale and pace of required deficit reduction will consequently be greater." that's just stating fact. >> so it's not a downgrade but it's a negative outlook going forward and it's interesting that they say until, you know, they're giving essentially lawmakers until after the election. they're almost daring the american electorate, do something next election. otherwise, we're going to downgrade you because the way it is right now, it is gigantic gridlock and your economy is stinking up the world. >> here's what's happening in the world, that world might not stink. >> fox news alert for you now. rockets fired from lebanon hitting northern israel early this morning for the first time in more than two years. and israel, fired back. according to israeli media, two buildings in galilee were hit. there were no casualties. no one claiming responsibility for the attack. >> dramatic audio released of the 911 call after a plane crashed into a mountain leaving six people dead. >> 911 emergency? >> a plane just crashed into the top. >> a plane did? >> ok. a plane did, it was flying over us and we were watching it and it burst into flames. it is -- the mountain is on fire. >> ok. >> superstition mountain on fire. everybody on board was killed when the twin engine plane slammed into a mountain near phoenix. the plane's pilot shawn perry and his three children died in the crash. he had just picked them up to celebrate the holiday. the co-pilot, russell hardy and mechanic joseph hardwick also died in the explosion that could be seen for miles. >> last week, we told you about workers at a detroit company caught drinking booze and smoking weed all on camera. 17 of those workers now fired from the tower defense and aerospace plant which makes armored parts for u.s. military trucks and planes. in this video, you see them smoking pot and drinking beer during their lunch breaks. before returning to work to make safety equipment for our troops in iraq and afghanistan. an investigation by our fox affiliate caught them in the act. the company says they're looking to make new rules that don't allow workers to leave the premises during the work day. >> picture this, it's the letter meet lace party at the playboy mansion. i'm picturing it. i don't have to. i can look at it. guys have to pay $1,000 to get in while beautiful women are allowed to waltz in for free. that might sound like the norm but tmz reports one guy is suing the playboy mansion saying he was shocked to learn gorgeous girls were getting 100% discount at the door. he says it's called sex discrimination. i call it a good party. >> it will cost you $1,000 to get in. gretch could get in for free. >> would not bother me. you could float right in there. >> thank you very much. >> through the smoke machine. >> and the wild wing. >> thank you for the invite. >> let's take a look at the weather coast to coast on this tuesday and look at that storm. that is a big one. as you can see, all the way from the northeast back through the great lakes down through the central mississippi valley and it is showing up as some snow as you can see. it looks like in the cape gerardo area through portions of illinois into kentucky and tennessee as well. at least on the doppler, don't know for sure if it's reaching the ground. also a little bit of rain at this hour down in south florida. probably the keys as well. current temperatures, as you see them, right now new york city, it is almost 60. they meanwhile half that in minneapolis. 28 there. 25 in rapid city. find out what it's going to be like later on in the day and 63 here in new york city. about the same for temperatures along the gulf coast. only 46 in kansas city. it will be 58 in dallas/fort worth and 43 later on today in atlanta. and that's your travel cast. >> all right. even though he's hitting -- he's trailing mitt romney by double digits among likely new hampshire primary voters, newt gingrich earned a key endorsement from the state's largest newspaper, "the union leader." >> it's an endorsement that has some people scratching their heads but the editor of the newspaper joins us live. is it drew or andrew? >> it's drew. i wanted to make sure i had it correct. good to see you, mr. klein. thanks for getting up bright and early for us. >> thanks. my pleasure. it's editorial page editor. i'm not quite all the way up the ranks yet. >> all right. we have two corrections there. thanks very much. let me start out with why the newspaper decided to go with newt gingrich? obviously, he's been swinging upward in the polls but a lot of people were somewhat shocked sunday morning when this came out. >> i am a little perplexed as to why people were so shocked. i mean, we interviewed all the candidates. we actually sat down with all of them for, you know, an hour a piece at least. we followed them very closely and , you know, when we weighed the positives and negatives of all the candidates and we weighed the negative of every candidate including gingrich, we came to the conclusion that this is a guy that can match up well against president obama, had strong leadership skills, had a very good, positive conservative agenda for the country, i'm a little surprised at how shocked people were. >> all right. so if you're surprised people are shocked, can i ask you what really turns you to newt gingrich? because not everything as he freely admits by sending up a web site to dispel anything he's done in the past is that he does have a long track record and he doesave some things in there that aren't the most positive so what bothered you most about his candidacy that made you really examine him hard? >> well, you know, with any -- any candidate who has been in public life for as long as newt gingrich has, there are going to be mistakes. there's going to be errors of judgment and, you know, we look back and take seriously all of those things, you know and one of the big knocks against gingrich is his discipline, you know, the case for romney is that, well, he's very meticulous, very disciplined, doesn't make a lot of errors except when he changes his mind on policy repeatedly but, you know, we did look at that but again, it was his strengths vs. his weaknesses and his strengths are an unparalleled command of the issues. there's nobody in the race who understands the issues better than newt gingrich does. and a willingness to take them on. you know, we look for leaders when we are looking to endors a presidential kanld -- candidate. we don't look for somebody who is going to look at the polls and decide which way to go. we want someone who is willing to take risks especially at this time in our country's history. you need somebody who is going to say i'm not afraid to take on entitlements. i'm not afraid to take on the debt. those are things that gingrich is very strong about. and we didn't find the other candidates were all that strong on. >> meanwhile, after your endorsement, the editorial page took some hits because people said look, they've only been right a couple of tisyears. >> that's actually incorrect. and it's a really silly, silly way to look at it. we're the new hampshire union leader. ok, we're the new hampshire paper. we're not a national newspaper. so to say that we've endorsed a candidate in the primary and that candidate doesn't go on to win the nomination is the wrong metric. you got to look at our endorsements in the new hampshire primary. and what you will see is that we got a pretty good track record. since 1980, we're 50/50 and that's picking candidates who -- in the republican primary in competitive republican primaries, we're 50/50 and that's picking candidates we knew were unlikely to win. >> picking a guy or woman to win the state, not the federal electio elections. >> we don't have a strong influence outside of new hampshire. who outside of new hampshire has prescribed to our paper? >> thanks for setting the reported straight. drew klein, the editorial editor of the manchester newspaper. thanks for getting up so early. >> my pleasure. >> have your kids seen this cartoon? it's a lesson in collective bargaining to preschoolers? the bias that's being taught to your kids next.

[ male announcer ] take action. take advil®. auto >> teacher using the words strike and collective bargaining in lessons. our next guest says he found thousands of examples of teachers using it to promote their own political agenda. he's the founder of a michigan nonprofit organization dedicated to education reform and the author of the new book "indoctrination " how useful idiots are using to promote school exceptionalism. you're not mincing any words. you're a father of young children. that's how you got involved in looking at what they were being taught at a young age. what did you find? >> that's right. i'm the father of a kindergartener so this looking at what is going on in schools is very important to me. i started looking at the curriculum, the lesson plans, textbooks and videos that are being pushed in public schools and what i found is a real agenda to get the teachers' personal philosophy into the classroom. >> so one of the things you found is union language to preschoolers, the talk of strike and collective bargaining. i mean, even most seniors wouldn't understand what that is. >> that's it. that's the perfect example. what happened in the city of chicago is there's a preschoolteacher, preschooler. i'm the father of a kindergarten. preschooler, how could a preschooler relate to this? but there's a teacher in the city of chicago, she went up to madison, wisconsin to protest against scott walker in collective bargaining reform and everything. she took pictures there. she took them back to her classroom. she read her students a book called "click clack moo, cows that type." and then she taught them about the vocabulary lesson that you mentioned, strike to collective bargaining and negotiate. you think these are examples that high schoolers should be learning if at all but yet, they're being pushed at very early ages. >> so environmentally friendly. that's a big push in all the schools. >> that's right. and in fact, in maryland, it actually goes beyond that and in maryland the state board of education passed a mandate stating that students would need to make decisions that are environmentally literate. and so they're actually dictating the way that students should act. >> what about this video called "the story of stuff"?eing pushe 7,000 school and so parents need to know that this is being pushed in their classroom. and they need to do something about it. >> the final thing is what we're learning through the math lessons. what did you find out? >> well, what social justice activists as they're called are doing now is that they're pushing these examples through math. and so instead of going into a math class and learning about nickels and dimes and quarters and , you know, those traditional things, now they're using the math classroom to push incarceration rates, aids questions and those types of things. they're pushing an agenda through math. >> wow. pay attention to your homework assignments when your kids come home today and the rest of the year. thanks so much for pointing these things out. >> thanks for having me. >> you know the phrase "innocent until proven guilty" but should the president be able to overrule that for terrorists? judge napolitano breaks down a proposal that would give him that power. santa claus is being told to lower kids' expectations. that story is straight ahead. daddy, come in the water! somebody didn't book with travelocity, with 24/7 customer support to help move them to theool daddy promised! look at me, i'm swimming! somebody, get her a pony! [ female announcer ] the travelocity guarantee. from the price to the room to the trip you'll never roam alone. >> all right. tomorrow, the senate will vote on the defense spending bill but what is normally a routine vote has been surrounded by controversy. senators mccain and levin added a provision which would require terrorist suspects held in military custody. but could that extend to u.s. citizens eventually? joining us right now is fox news senior judicial analyst and host of "the freedom watch" on the fox business network, judge andrew napolitano. explain what this particular provision would do. >> this is a bill to fund the defense department. it's a lot of other bills. >> usually that's just pro forma, let's vote. >> right. here's the amount of money that the defense department can spend. here's how we want them to spend it but senators mccain and levin have added this legislation which would authorize the president to declare all the united states of america to be a battlefield even though there's no battle thanks be to god going on here. >> war on terror is different. >> that would authorize him to use commander in chief authority in the united states, to use the military to arrest people in the united states who in the president's opinion are enemies of the country. it would then permit him to incarcerate and detain these people indefinitely to keep them from a lawyer. to keep them from a judge. to keep them from a jury. to lock them up for as long as he wants. >> if some al-qaida guy slipped across our border and tried to blow something up, you'd have no problem with the president of t united states saying ok, that guy goes to gitmo. >> i would. i would. it's not me that would have the problem. it's the constitution, the constitution specifically says no person, not no american. no person shall lose life, liberty or property. >> terrorists have due process. >> they do. that's not the problem with. this the problem with this is senator lindsay graham who supports it has argued this would authorize the president of the united states to arrest americans by simply saying they gave up their citizenship rights. >> here's what lindsay graham says basically, say in law for the first time that homeland is part of the battlefield and people can go to jail indefinitely. american citizen or not. so you're just afraid down the road that one day the president of the united states whomever he or she might be might say let's arrest that guy. >> suppose the president decided one of his political opponents was an enemy of the state, he could make that person disappear. sounds fanciful, sounds crazy but it's true. >> quickly, will this pass? >> i don't know if it will pass. there's a lot of other controversial aspects of this bill including the right to carry guns in all 50 states which conservatives and libertarians like. so it's going to be a debate and it's going to be a close one. >> and they have debates each and every night on "freedom watch" on the fox business network. judge andrew napolitano, thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. >> i watched last night, by the way. >> did you like it? >> i did like it. >> god bless you. >> all right. coming up, the political ads use humor to poke fun at members of congress. how did they do it with voters? pollster frank luntz has the data and then the rich get even richer. three multimillionaires hit the powerball jackpot on a buck ticket. did that ticket really belong to them? uh-oh. story straight ahead. as i get older, i'm making changes to support my metabolism. i'm more active, i eat right, and i switched to one a day women's active metabolism, a complete women's multivitamin, plus more for metabolism support.

>> newt gingrich sick and tired of telling everyone telling him he's soft on illegal immigration. how he's planning a major crackdown on illegals state by state coming your way. >> meanwhile, are you preparing your kids for a sad santa? like good old ralphy? remember him? >> he'll shoot your eye out, kid. merry christmas. ho, ho ho! >> yeah, nothing worse than a drunk santa. why the economic recession has some santas ready for a not so merry christmas. details and so much more, hour two of "fox & friends" for a tuesday kicks off right now, folks. >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> there we are. we are fox news and by the way, that is a movie i have not seen and no one can believe i've not seen it. >> i haven't either. >> you know why -- >> you're watching fred claus too much. >> it was counter program to fred claus and i want to see it's that time of year again. >> yeah. you can -- it's on every 15 minutes. >> right. >> just stand by. >> got to dvr that thing this year. >> meanwhile, let's tell you a little story. here's a new name for you, ginger white. she's 46 years old and she met herman cain 13 1/2 years ago when he was running the national restaurant association and that's when ginger white says they started a 13-year relationship. >> yes, she says that he would fly her to various cities across the country when he was giving speeches. and that they had this intimate physical relationship on and off during that time. so why would she come out now? well, she claims that it had to do with these other women who were claiming sexual harassment in the last couple of weeks against herman cain. she says she didn't like the way he responded to that, she thought it was demeaning to those women. >> i wanted to come out and give my side before it was thrown out there and made out to be something, you know, filthy which some people will look at this and say, well, that's exactly what it is. and i'm sorry for that. i didn't want to do this but it was something that i felt at the end of the day was the right thing to do and is it going to hurt a lot of people? yes. i'm sure i will be one of them. >> but i just don't get the logic there. like who would come out and talk about that besides her? >> the other thing i wanted to make sure to point out. according to her, she says that media outlets were on to her, that they had been given tips there might have been a relationship there and that they were going to start coming after her so she decided to get ahead of it as best she could and so did herman cain. he was asked on cnn yesterday before that story, that blockbuster story came out. here's what he said. >> i can take the lumps. i expected this kind of stuff when i made the decision to run for president of the united states of america. but the thing that i'm worried about is the impact it's going to have on my wife and my family because they should not be subjected to false accusations that cannot be proved. >> here's what his lawyer said. he said this is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace. this is not an accusation of assault which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a candidate, this appears to be a subject matter that's not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or public. is that helping? those last two lines, i would get a new lawyer. >> well, it's an interesting defense as it were. >> you think interesting is the right word? >> that's bary a defense. >> it is interesting because if it is just an affair, and herman cain says it's a nonphysical affair. she says it is. it's one of those he said/she said things. if it's simply an affair, it's not against the law. it's immoral but is that a disqualifier? it certainly isn't on par with the workplace harassment, sexual harassment charges the other women had made in the past. >> i think that's why they made the clarification but i thought those last two lines were suspect as well. almost from a legal point of view, it seemed to me that they were trying to make sure that they were within the parameters in case other stuff came out that they weren't necessarily denying it 100% but they were kind of writing legalese about it it was between two consenting adults. in the end, it's up to you what you think about it. you'll be the judge. >> herman cain says there's no evidence to tie me to that woman although she did provide to the fox affiliate down in atlanta her cell phone bill and there are 60 phone calls to and from herman cain, texts and what not that average one message every other day. so, you know, just a passing friend? but you have 60 messages from him. that could be damning. >> let's talk about newt gingrich because he is the story of the last two weeks because he has rocketed up top to the polls and what he said last week the cnn debate, when it came to immigration and this was really almost unsolicited. look, you've been here a couple of dozen years. you and your family. you should be able to have a path to stay here, we can't claim that a republican party is pro family while dividing up families. well, a lot of people hit the roof on that. newt gingrich tried to clarify that with bill o'reilly last night. >> we're going to propose a bill to cut off all federal funding to any sanctuary city or sanctuary state. they get no money of any kind from the federal government, period, as of that moment. and if san francisco was wants to bankrupt itself, that's fine. >> he's going to be tough there. he's going to build a wall but he says for the people here, he thinks you need a humanitarian deal. >> and they won't be deported but at the same time, they won't get citizenship as well. they need some other method. he's thinking a board in every community to hear whether or not they should stay. he was quoted yesterday as saying there's one candidate running around, he's talking about michelle bachmann who says he supports blanket amnesty for 11 million. he says that's totally false. >> no doubt that will continue to come up in the debate. there's 100 left. i'm sure we'll be discussing that right off the top of the next debate. in the meantime, did you hear yesterday that congressman barney frank from massachusetts after serving many, many terms. >> 150 years. >> i believe he's 71 years old now. he's decided surprisingly to step down. now, remember, he had a very tight race back in 2010 and now thanks to redistricting, he may have had an even tougher race moving ahead because one of his stalwart communities was taken out of his district and some more conservative ones were added to it. anyway, that was not really the reasoning that he gave as to why he's resigning. he said he's just done with politics but he's leaving with a shot against newt gingrich. listen to this. >> i did not think i had lived a good enough life to be rewarded by newt gingrich being the republican nominee. he would be the best thing to happen to the democratic party since barry goldwater. >> you've got to figure that if he is stepping out, remember he was a ranking member of the democrats on that banking committee, he's got to figure, all right, we're not going to take control of the house next time or maybe the next time either. otherwise, he would ride it out and try to be chairman once again. but political analysts are saying, obviously, he's reading the tea leaves and it doesn't look good for democrats. >> despite what he's spinning, he'll be known as the person who was primarily responsible for blocking any real reform on fannie and ned freddie. he never thought it would be a problem. oops. thank you. >> still to this day, even yesterday, blaming president bush for that debacle. the rest of the headlines and a fox news alert kicks it off. norway massacre suspect is insane and therefore not fit to stand trial. he's the lone suspect in last july's gruesome attacks that left 77 people dead. the doctors just released their 230 page report after 13 conversations with him. he confessed to the murders using guns and explosives on a secluded island and called his attacks "atrocious but necessary." the status of the trial is set to begin april 16th now up in the air. bernie fine's wife challenging an audio tape in which she appears to acknowledge a sexual relationship between her husband, the former assistant basketball coach at syracuse and a former ball boy. lori fine says this tape released by espn has been tampered with. >> the tape was made nine years ago and espn released it a few days ago. it also alleges that is he and lori fine had a sexual relationship of their own when he was 18. gary giordano is getting out of jail tonight in aruba but he's not in the clear. they consider him a suspect in the case of robin gardner. prosecutors appealed the judge's decision to release him but a hearing won't be held until tomorrow night. he could be extradited back to aruba if new evidence comes to the surface. three money managers from greenwich, connecticut, scored a quarter billion dollars from a lottery ticket that cost them 1 buck. the trio claimed their money and ended the 27-day mystery over who had landed the top prize in the november 2nd drawing. they plan to give a significant portion to charity but there is a twist. "the daily mail" claims the men might have formed a trust as a front to one of their clients who won the jackpot and wants to remain anonymous. that's interesting. i hadn't heard that twist this morning. i had heard the charity part but not that they actually were not the winners. interesting. >> there you go. all right. next up on the "fox & friends" program, the political ads that use humor to poke fun at members of congress. how do these ads play with the voters? pollster frank luntz has data straight ahead. >> then you remember tracy gold and her "growing pains" both on and off the screen? she struggled with body image and eating healthy. what does tracy think about the state that took a boy away from his parents from being too overweight? tracy gold is here as evidenced by our green room shot. here live next or soon.

>> you figured it's a man-woman story. >> i just pulled a kilmeade. >> wait a second! leave me out of it! >> i thought it was a story -- it says men and then wifi. i thought it was a wifey story. they put me to read it. >> we don't put slang in the prompter. >> sorry. >> let's try it this way. wi-fi may hurt your chances of starting a family. a team of scientists discovered using a laptop with wi-fi can actually -- now i know why i'm reading this. can decrease sperm count by 25%. they also found evidence that it damaged d.n.a. it's not funny. radiation from the wireless technology is to blame and wifeys will be very upset with that wi-fi information, brian? >> absolutely, gretchen and i'm going to make sure to record that and earmark that so we always have that in the vault. >> thank you. >> monday night football last night. it was no big deal. >> skip it. >> roll some highlights, it doesn't really matter. drew brees got extremely lucky over and over & over again. 7-3 in the second. show the field goal but it's a little boring. throws a strike to jimmy grant for the score. uh-oh. the giants are starting to mike me think i should go to bed and i did. they went up 21-3, i realized i should haved noed off an hour ago. when said and done, drew brees would be wide awake as he led his saints to a win. the giants before the game promised not to cover anybody so it made it very easy. i got to tell you what's happening in college. urban meyer is so burnt out from coaching, he needed to retire for a year. he is back. the new head coach of ohio state, meyer left the end of last season. he said health reasons, spent some time in the hospital and wanted to spend time with the family. enough time! >> and i don't want to be one of those guys sleeping in the office saying i missed this and i missed that. believe it or not, there's a lot of quality coaches out there that are able to have a little bit of balance. i was proud i had balance for quite a while. i lost that near the end. my health is in good shape. i've been checked out over and over again. i feel fantastic and i'm ready to go. >> that's a guy that just got $4 million over the next six seasons. i'd feel fantastic, too. >> indeed. >> rebuilding that program. >> meanwhile, let's tell you a little story about -- there's a santa school out in midland michigan. they've been doing -- they've been teaching guys how to be santa for 75 years. this particular class, the biggest in their history. of course, to be a good santa, got to have beard curled in the right direction. >> and be optimistic, upbeat and give kids hope and dream. >> you have to have minty fresh breath but this year, given the economy. >> let wifey finish this story. >> shush! all right, craig. >> that's one of my nicknames. >> i guess these santas are being taught to down play expectations. is that the role of santa or is that the role as a parent? i have to say that as a parent, you know, kids can be overzealous about all the best things that santa are going to bring and my daughter filled out the entire american girl catalog and it would have cost me an entire year of salary to pay for it. so you have to manage expectations as a parent. i think. you have to tell your kids you're not going to get everything on your list but is it the role of santa to do that? or is that the role of the parent? >> well, what they're doing at this particular school is they're saying because of the economy, they've got to -- they've got to down play expectations. and so many kids -- >> by the way, does santa have to use a bullhorn? i don't see them on their lap anymore. >> over here, they're saying so many kids are going up to santa and saying hey, you know, they're not asking for things for themselves. they're saying hey, santa, can you get my mom or dad a job? also santa, could i possibly get a pair of shoes that fit? i mean, their wives are desperate. my wife kathy -- >> telling santa said it. >> my wife kathy has volunteered at a christmas holiday mall for the last five years over in -- for paterson, new jersey, which has got a lot of people who don't have anything. and one of the number one things that the kids ask for where they have a whole array of stuff is i'd like some gloves for my mom or i'd like some socks for me. it's not like they're asking for, you know, an ipad or snig like that. they need the bare necessities because times are really tough. >> that they are. ok. coming up on the show, cheryl casone here speaking of that with the top five companies that you could get a job with. they're hiring this holiday season. >> we just learned that the last bailout ended up to more than a trilli dollars. we just learned it. no one told us! should the government keep helping the big, bad banks become good again?

>> in the classic movie, "it's a wonderful life" the lead character george bailey came clean with depositors about the condition of his building, building and loan during the great depression. listen. >> no, but you're -- you're thinking of this place all wrong as if i have the money back in a safe. the money's not here. your money is in the house next to yours and a hundred others. you're lending the money to build and they'll pay it back as best they can. >> now they learn in late december 2008, the big six american banks weren't so up with the american people as george bailey was, up front i should say and at the time, the federal reserve gave financial institutions a secret bailout aside from talk to the tune of $7 trillion on top of the $700 billion that we knew about. joining us right now, peter johnson jr. this is outrageous but do you think necessary? >> maybe it is. maybe it isn't. let's talk about it and let's see that they pump $7 trillion into the financial system through something called a discount window and other faculties and facilities that the federal government has. it's calle monetary policy. the federal government loans to banks in the united states but they loan below market. so a lot of folks are saying, they're getting subsidies, they're getting below market loans. businesses are going under. homes are being foreclosed. where does the money go? why didn't we hear about it? why did we only hear about a 10th of it through tarp? when another 10 times of that amount was going into the financial system? and let's look and see what the banks said. jamie diamond, the ceo of j.p. morgan chase back in march of 2010 said we borrowed to encourage others to do the same as if they didn't need the money. well, then we found out that the fed loans that they were holding were twice the cash that they had. so they had fed loans twice what they had in their own bank. we hear what the bank of america said and then ceo ken lewis wrote to the shareholders that he headed one of the strongest and most stable major banks in the world. so what we find out is he didn't say that on that very day, the bank of america owed the federal government $86 billion. did we know about those? no. absolutely did not. >> right. and the last quote really says it all. that's what people are feeling right now. this is from the representative, americans struggling to understand why banks deserve preferential treatment while millions of homeowners are denied assistance and at an increasing risk of foreclosure. tarp had some rules. this other money was just taken. >> the federal reserve has no rules. the federal reserve in many respects is as important and as powerful and sometimes more important and more powerful than the white house, than the congress, than the supreme court. they make the rules. now, should there be more disclosure? should there be more openness? there is not. in that system. but at the same time, looking at the enormity of these transactions, 21,000 transactions that the federal government tried to hide and were brought out by a couple of enterprising reporters, did it save the system? was that $7 trillion infusion of cash in the banks allegedly to be used by americans, did that save the system? we also found out that a lot of that money went to european banks. so we were funding european banks. apparently to stave off a worldwide depression. >> hey, hbo, you got to redo your movie about the great recession. we have a whole new chapter that we just learned about and just hold your fire because europe needs a bailout. we're out of money or are we? are we going to print some more? >> we're going to help. i guarantee it. with american dollars. >> big help. nice movie clip. good to see you. 'tis the season to find a job. next, cheryl casone breaks down the five top companies looking to hire you today. and on this day in 1987, "heaven is the place on earth" belinda carlisle, the great philosopher said that and she sang about it and she called the other go-goes to sing with her. >> who was born on this date in 1955? howie mandel is the answer to the question. the winner is catherine from texas. congratulations. >> we just came off of a huge holiday shopping weekend and if you want some extra cash and you need a job, there are some out there. cheryl casone from the fox business network is here with a look at who is hiring for the holiday season. let's start with "miracle on 34th street" macy's so far has hired 78,000. >> yes and they might be hiring more. they are busy right now at macy's. we were at macy's on friday for black friday talking with the chairman and the ceo. i asked him, are you gonna hire more people? and will you have some full-time positions coming up for next year for the same folks? here's what he told me. >> we hired 4,000 permanent jobs before the fourth quarter this year at macy's because our business was so strong. and so i'm hoping to do the exact same thing next year. we're definitely going to be hiring thousands of full-time jobs in 2012. >> quick note aut terry and the company. one analyst off the record told me before i spoke with him last week that his employees would actually lay down and die for him. he has employee loyalty at the company because of how he leads. so if you want a good boss, terry might be one. >> if want a good job and you're a ski bum, may i suggest vail associates, they're looking for a whole bunch of people to man the operation. >> they have 13,000 people they hire every season for all six results, vail, they've only got 750 open positions. you have everybody coming back for another year. you can be teaching kids to ski. you can be serving food. driving, retail, anything. they have a host of positions. look, it's -- why not? if you need a job. >> you're leaving -- ok, you need a job but you also get a free ski lift. >> you get a free ski pass every day. there's a benny, i forgot about that. >> if you got an eye for bobbles, may i suggest sterling jewelers. >> jewelry sales. i mean, look, these are going to get busy. they are busy for the holiday season. they own kay jewelers, they own jared. they have 908 kay jeweller stores across the country. they will train you. they will train you. when i was in college, i worked at a jewelry store and i learned -- >> really? >> i knew nothing. i was 19 years old. they taught me about the whole thing. i knew nothing. they trained me on the job. not a bad deal. >> no kidding. if you know something about video games, how about game stop? >> game stop is the world's largest software -- i mean, they sell the software, the hardware, the toys, everything that goes with on-line gaming and game stop is very clear in saying that their customer is not just the kids, they say they've got a lot of older customers coming in the door that enjoy games and want to get into the hot market of these video games. if you want to work there, you can learn something. >> finally mcdonald's. >> mcdonald's, it depends on the city that you're in. i don't have a full number for them that they're hiring. there's a lot of turnover at mcdonald's. one thing the company told me that i thought was interesting, they're very much about diversity in the workplace. they believe that really gives them kind of a leg up as an overall company and mcd is the ticker, great company overall. but about half of the people that start behind the counter end up becoming owner/operators meaning they own a franchise. that's a pretty big statistic. >> you can have it your way. >> yes, you can! you can be the boss! >> there you go. >> not a bad thing sometimes. >> thank you very much. by the way, check out cheryl at noon on the fox business network and if this segment has helped you find a job, let us know! e-mail us friends at foxnews.com. we would love to share your story with our vast viewing audience. all right. friends at foxnews.com. straight ahead, a psychic says she knows where baby lisa is and while she's never been to the area, police say she described it perfectly. we will talk to the attorneys for lisa's parents coming up. and is herman cain's train derailed? laura ingraham weighs in on the latest problems for former head of godfather's pizza. almost tastes like one of jack's als. fiber one. h, forgot jack cereal.

"fox & friends" starts right now. >> i'm ivanka trump and you're watching "fox & friends," the best show on news television. >> gretchen: thank you, ivanka 'cause she'll be joining us in 45 minutes from now. she's a new mom, successful business woman. >> steve: she couldn't say television, because her dad might hear and go, wait a minute, honey. >> gretchen: and she's on that show, too. >> brian: with the holidays coming up, it could cause tension in the trump house. good move. tell us what's happening and we'll talk. >> gretchen: we start the headlines. american airlines filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy as the airline struggles to unload a massive pile of debt. the ceo will step dwn and be replaced by the company president. while announcing the bankruptcy, they blame union labor contracts for most of its financial burden, saying american has spent at least $600 million more than other airlines when it comes to union labor. american lost $162 million in the third quarter of 2011 and lost money in 14 of the last 16 quarters. the company insists flights will continue as scheduled and frequent flyer miles will still be honored. doctors say norway massacre suspect anders behring breivik is insane and therefore, not fit to stand trial. he's the lone suspect in last july's attack that left 77 people dead. the report is based on 13 conversations with him. he confessed to the murders using guns and explosives on a seclude island and called his attack, quote, atrocious, but necessary. the status of the trial set to begin april 16. now it's up in the air with that diagnosis. bernie fine's wife is set to challenge now an audio tape in which she appears to acknowledge a sexual relationship between her husband, the former assistant basketball coach at syracuse, and a former ball boy. laurie fine says this tape released by espn has been attachered with. >> gretchen: that tape was made nine years ago, but espn released it a few years ago. the voice on the tape, bobby davis. he also alleges he and lory fine had a sexual relationship between the two of them when he was just 18 years old. who can forget the car from the classic '80s movie "ferris pauler's day off." >> if you had access to a car like this, would you take back right away? neither would i. >> gretchen: well, a pennsylvania mechanic taking a cue from the movie. he's in wig trouble after allowing his daughter to take a customer's vehicle to a casino. >> you have a cadillac? i said yeah, it's in the shop being fixed and he said no, it's not. i said what? i just felt violated that he took the car and gave it to his daughter. >> gretchen: no kidding. cops contacted him after they pulled the girl over for running a red light. the mechanic claims his daughter took the car for business purposes. and those are your headlines. a likely story, kind of like the dog ate your homework. >> steve: sure. laura ingraham joins us from washington, d.c i need a lift out to the airport. what kind of wheels do you have? >> wheels? two wheels. i have two bikes. i hear you're a mountain biker, so you can have the new mountain bike. my ride stays with me. >> steve: all right. good to know. >> gretchen: if only herman cain 's explanation of all these womenning could be as easy. here we go again, of that his direct quote. here we go again. but here is this woman, ginger white, laura, who claims that she had this 13-yearlong standing affair with him. listen to this. >> i wanted to come out and give my side before it was thrown out there and made out to be something, you know, filthy, which some people will look at this and say, well, that's exactly what it is. and i'm sorry for that. >> steve: okay. she's not the first woman we've heard on television, although some of them -- they've kind of disappeared in the last couple of weeks. what do you think about this one with all the text messages from mr. cain? >> well, when mary ann and the professor come forward, then i'll really be stunned by all this. i'm sorry. well, look, we don't know really. do we? we don't know anything about this. we tonight know -- she says something. we know herman cain in this interview said there are an infinite number of women who might come forward kind of saying, look, i'm a target now. that's been his consistent line. his lawyer said basically this is an allegation of a consentual adult relationship and frankly, this is off limits. but i think the larger point versus the he said, she said that continue here is that the campaign seems to have passed herman cain by. right? he's flipped in pretty much every poll. >> steve: he's still ahead in south carolina. >> yeah, he is, but he's never set up the type of organization that i still think, even with this new media age we live in, that you ultimately need a campaign of the he never really did it in iowa. hire add few people, i guess, in places like new hampshire. might be too long well in south carolina now. but you just get the sense that time has kind of passed him by. >> brian: real quick, what his lawyer said is significant because the other time he's just in denial. his lawyer said this is not an accusation of harassment. this is not an accusation of assault. rather this appears to be an private consentual conduct. so that doesn't seem to be a flat out denial like herman cain denied. >> no, it doesn't. and i think it's kind of odd to say that, right? if you're a republican, because remember, republicans, we're talking about paula jones and all this stuff with bill clinton, which you could say, well, it's consentual, it's stuff that was going on even though she was alleging some wrongdoing. >> gretchen: all right. let's move on to one of your favorite topics, congressman barney frank, and the fact that he is now retiring. what will the showdowns be like with o'reilley? >> this is great because barney frank, of course, one of the most colorful guys up on capitol hill and we're going to miss him -- it's like you're going to miss one of your favorite looney tune characters, the old mel blanc voices. i love how yesterday he said, well, it's no more mr. nice guy. like he's been just a walk in the park for everybody. >> gretchen: i'm thinking of the screaming matches with o'reilley. let's listen to him today because as he's outgoing, he's taking shots. >> my life's work is i'm not congress as a whole. i have a big ego, but i've never identified myself with the entire congress. i'm very proud of the financial reform pill. i will say this, in 1981 when i got to congress, i was very cooperative in a bipartisan way. newt gingrich actually boasted about the center which he changed things, he forced out the minority leader at the time and said no, we have to challenge the democrats as our enemies. >> steve: so he's proud of dodd frank, which happened after the collapse, but by virtue of the fact that he was the nation's leading protector of fannie and freddie running up to the collapse, when you examine the story, if you had to put one face to the catastrophe that was 2008, it would probably be barney frank. >> yeah, with september 10, 2003, when barney frank, famously said that fannie and freddie were fundamentally sound and basically abhorred the exaggeration of any financial difficulties that these institutions would have; that that would itself precipitate some kind of financial crisis. he let franklin rains basically answer a question where he said, we don't really see any problem here's. and he said, why are we here then? come on. by the way, that's the best thing that could have happened to newt gingrich is partnery frank giving the parting shots at him. that's good for gingrich. >> gretchen: why? >> because barney frank is a liberal lion and he's kind of the face of the political and physical embody i want of a bloated federal, liberal, addicted to the bureaucracy and newt gingrich is trying to now portray himself as the anti-romney and more conservative version of romney. it's like look, barney frank hates me. that's all i need to say. >> steve: there you go. >> gretchen: let's talk about a situation in ohio. for the first time this obese child, 200 pounds, a third grader, has been taken away from his family, which consists of a single parent situation with a mom. here is the head of the family services there, saying that they believe that this case was medical neglect. >> we were involved with this family for about 20 months before that action occurred. the medical community brought this situation to our attention. this is a medical neglect case. when a child's medical condition warrants intervention by child protective service, we respond. >> steve: so what do you think, laura? the state is saying we're acting in the child's best interest, but they're taking the child away from the mother because the kid is too big. >> yeah, well, look, the fact of this case kind of are disturbing. a large.and he probably is in some kind of medical danger, although it doesn't look like it's imminent danger, according to other reports that i've read. the problem here, of course, is when the federal government says, we're at your doorstep and here to help you. you have to go down the line of what's possible. what happens when the federal government or local official or child preventive services says, you know, we think there could be a potential for mental abuse in this house. > steve: where do you draw the line? >> or we don't like the pack that this church that you're going to seems to believe things that are very intolerant toward other members of our society. we think that's a mental danger for your child to be in. i mean, people think that's crazy, that that couldn't happen, but i think we have to be very careful before we applaud oh, great. >> gretchen: i agree with that. the one difference about this is that down the line, who ends up paying for this owe piecity crisis that we have in america? >> what's the bmi? what is the unacceptable bmi level? >> gretchen: i don't know. >> we have a lot of large kids in washington, d.c. and do you go door to door and i guess -- they have been involved with this family for 20 months. the kid is on the honor roll, though. i think it's a tough call. >> gretchen: it is. >> but i worry what happens down the line when the government steps in. we have a real problem in this country when it comes to obesity >> brian: a treadmill in every home is my dream. >> gretchen: thanks, laura. >> thanks. >> brian: straight ahead, what happened to the millions of dollars missing from jon corzine's failed firm? some of it just turned up overseas. goody. >> steve: fantastic. and governor chris christie has a question for president obama. >> what the hell are we paying you for? it's doomed for failure so i'm not getting involved? what have you been doing exactly of. >> steve: what else did he have to say? stick around, you're watching "fox & friends." good morning, washington. are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today. [ regis we love to play tennis. and with it comes some aches and pains. and one way to relieve them all is to go right to the advil®. tennis is our game and advil® has become part of our game! [ male announcer ] take action. take advil®. >> steve: wake up. quarter after the top of the hour. big news yesterday and that was remember when s & p downgraded our debt from triple a, double a? yesterday fitch, one of the rating agency, says we're closer now to double a given the fact that the super committee could not reach a consensus and do anything about our gigantic mountain owed debt. >> gretchen: you can always count on governor chris christie it kind of tell it like it is, or at least give me something good to go with. when you're in the television business, you want people to say really great things on videotape because then you can play it over and over again. what do you think of these comments from yesterday? >> listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the super committee and that the president knew it was doomed for failure so he didn't get involved. well, then what the hell are we paying you for? it's doomed for failure, so i'm not getting involved? well, what have you been doing exactly? why the president of the united states refuses to do this is astonishing to me. i mean, if he wanted to run for senate again and just be one of 100, i'm sure he could have gotten reelected over and over again in illinois. when you're president, it's not good enough to say, i'll get it done after the election. >> brian: what the president is doing is campaigning. he's at 54 events over the last 42 days. among the questions is the president actually campaigning on the public taxpayers' dime? of course, they deny that, but that's where the president is. this is what governor christie's big criticism is, is not the big decisions president obama has made. his lack of making decisions and getting involved and taking personal responsibility. >> steve: right. when you look at, okay, he convened a debt commission and said, let's see the results and he saw the results and he goes, not my department. and then you fast forward to the super committee. super committee could not come to an agreement and where was the president? he absolutely did not weigh in on it, even though fitch says giving the u.s. a double a rating after the failure of the super committee. we need a commander in chief who is commanding. >> gretchen: this is the is that gee of the obama administration because then they just point the finger at congress who has a lower approval rating than the president and say it's a do nothing congress. the super committee couldn't come up with anything. but here is a prediction, if fitch actually does more than just a warning of a downgrade and actually does downgrade, then we all know what will happen to the stock market and the economy will go back into a tail spin and that might happen before president obama's reelection efforts and that could make him finally stand up and do something. >> brian: i don't think we can wait a year without doing anything. >> gretchen: that seems to be the strategy. >> brian: the gang of six could be getting back together, erskine bowles committee, we could look at them seriously and get a vote. that's what i hope. straight ahead, she knows where baby lisa is. she's never been to the area, but she described it perfectly. we're going to talk to the attorney for lisa's parents. >> gretchen: he scored the game winning kick at the age of 61. the vietnam war vet who went back to college so he could live out his amazing dream, here next. ♪ [ male announcer ] how could switchgrass in argentina, change engineering in dubai, aluminum production in south africa, and the aerospace industry in the u.s.? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 75% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing. but wanted to do something more for my nutrition. there's so much information out there. what's good for you today, is bad for you tomorrow. i had no idea what to choose. until i found pronutrients -- a new line of supplements from centrum, who i totally trust. omega-3 supports not only my heart, but my brain and my eyes too. probiotics helps with my digestive balance and my immune function. and fruit & veggie has antioxidant properties. new pronutrients from centrum helps make nutrition possible. >> steve: time for quick headlines. it is sentencing day for michael jackson's dr. conrad murray. he faces up to four years in jail for giving the singer powerful drugs that killed him. his lawyers are asking for probation. prosecutors want him to pay jackson's children $120 million, which i doubt he's got. and $200 million, belonging to mf global customers have been discovered in a jpmorgan chase account in great britain. they were transferred days before the firm went belly up. a billion dollars still missing from the jon corzine outfit. all right. mr. kilmeade, up to you. >> brian: all right. this story is proof that you are never too old to live out your dreams. 43 years after his college football career was cut short by this thing called the vietnam war, alan moore returned to school and now at the age of 61, he's the oldest football player on record to score a point. joining us now, alan moore and his coach. welcome to both of you. this is amazing. alan, first off, what made you think you could go back and play this game? >> there was nothing that made me think i could go back. it was to a point where after 42 years of not kicking a football that i started working out, you know, practicing a lot and then one day everything kind of come down to being right. it got to looking good. i could kick extra points and i told myself, i could do it. and i kind of pleased i could do it and i just didn't give up on it. >> brian: so all these years after leaving jones county junior college and going to vietnam, you were at faulkner university and, coach what, are you thinking when you find out a 61-year-old phi wants to be your kicker? >> when he came to us, i was the athletic director at the time and we had to get him eligible by the nai. that was approved and we were really excited. first we thought it was going to be interesting, but the kids took him in and our faculty and staff get excited. when the first game came, the first kick, it we went through. >> brian: alan, you're in 7th grade and your mom says that she loves football and she likes the extra point was the prettiest play in football. is this for your mom, the up with who inspired you to play this game all these years later? >> yeah. it is. i think about it a lot, you know. that was where i got -- i started kicking from mom telling me that and that was in like the 7th grade, so that's been quite a few years ago. yeah. i look up every time i kick one, you know, that's good, and difficult her thumbs up. -- give her thumbs up. she's important. >> brian: that's great. what's also important is you live in the dorms, you eat in the cafeteria and you hang out with the guys. what's this generation like compared to your generation when you were that age? >> we don't have to have a bunch of quarters if we want to talk to somebody. we had pay phones at the dorm at jones and now -- i think really not being joking, i think that communicating and social networking is the biggest change for the kids, you know, fm the time in '68 to 2011. >> brian: coach, i know he's a bit of a jokester, but he also writes something on the bottom of his shoe. do you know what that is? >> oh, they call him old school. he's got the old square toed shoe. he writes on his shoe, previous. we all believe he can do it and he believes in himself and sure enough, he made it happen. >> brian: a lot of people go through tough times and they doubt can they get back in the work force? what's your message when people look at your life and what you've done and what you've been through? what's the message they could take away? >> you know, it was never about alan mofetting an education. it was not about that as much as it was about kids dropping out of school and then trying to go back at a later date because the probability of them going back to school is not going to happen once they drop out. and i think that -- 18-year-old kid thinks four years is a lifetime and it's to motivate the kid to go ahead and spend that four years or five years in college and not drop out of college and go back and get their education so they can provide for their family better and become a better citizen for their communities and things of this nature. and that's what i kind of stress to them. don't give up on it. don't give up on an education. we need you to be educated. >> brian: coach, they always say it's good to have another coach in the locker room. you had another coach that happens to be a grandfather wearing a uniform. must have been a thrill. >> you're exactly right. >> brian: alan moore, brent barker i that so much for sharing your telling your story and telling us a little bit about football at faulkner university. >> thank you very much. >> brian: coming up straight ahead in our final 33 minutes, you got a psychic who knows the location of baby lisa and can describe it perfectly even though she has never been there. the attorney for the parents will join us to talk more about it. then donald trump's daughter, ivanka trump, heading to the curvy couch. it's her very first interview since becoming a mom. we'll ask her p it and she'll answer. when you have tough pain, do you want fast relief?

let's keep the hopes and dreams on the list in reality. >> steve: because of the economy, a lot of kids are asking santa, hey, can you get my mom or dad a job? or can i get some shoes that fit? so what they're suggesting, particularly at one santa school in midland, michigan, is never promise anything because come christmas morning, it could be tough to keep the promise. so we asked you for some comments and we got plenty. here is from heidi. she says my husband and i have made a rule to avoid the holiday gift stuff. our children get three gifts and that's it. jesus only got three gifts. that was it. this makes them think a little more about what they really want. >> gretchen: all right. and this e-mail from tim. i think santa will be santa no matter how the economy is. i guess there is always room for hopes and dreams. >> brian: deborah in arizona says, my husband and i raised our girls believing that santa only brought one gift per child. it was typically the big gift, though. the reasoning was, santa could only carry so much in the sleigh and we didn't really want santa getting all the credit for our hard earned money and the gifts we choose. >> steve: that's good. excellent cments. >> gretchen: let's do headlines. >> brian: fox news alert, new video just in, iranian protesters evidently unprompted by their government, storming the british embassy in tehran. according to reports, they removed and burned a british flag, stole pictures of the queen, vandalized documents. they were shouting, down with britain, down with america. down with israel. iran's parliament approved the plan to down grade ties with britain. while protesters want to cut all ties to prettien, who is an american ally. >> steve: meanwhile, dramatic audio just released of that emergency phone call made after a plane crash into a mountain leaving six people dead. >> 911 emergency. >> a plane just crashed, just at the top. >> a plane did? >> yeah. it's flying over us. we were watching it fly over us and it just burst into flames. the mountain is on fire. >> okay. >> steve: everybody on the airplane killed when the twin engine plane slamd into that mountain near phoenix, arizona. the pilot, sean perry, and his three children died in the crash. he had just picked them up to celebrate thanksgiving. the copilot, russell hardy and the mechanic, joseph hardwick, also perished. >> brian: playboy being sued for discrimination by a man. you're looking at leather meets lace party at the playboy mansion. look familiar, steve? didn't think so. guys have to pay $1,000 to get in. >> steve: the light up hula hoop. >> brian: while beautiful women are allowed to waltz in for free. that may sound like the norm, but tmz reports one guy suing the playboy mansion over the ladies' discount. he claims the policy is unfair to let them in for free. >> steve: were they just doing the can, can? last week we told but work increase a detroit company caught drinking booze and smoking weed, caught on camera. there you go, folks. 17 of those workers are now suspended and likely to be fired from the tower defense and aerospace plant which makes armored parts for u.s. military trucks and airplanes as well. you see them smoking marijuana presume plea and drinking beer -- presumably and drinking beer to make safety equipment used for our troops. a fox affiliate caught them in the act. the company says they're looking to make new rules, banning workers from leaving the premises during the workday. let's see what happens next. gretch, over to you. >> gretchen: thanks very much. a break in the search for missing baby lisa irwin. a texas woman is claiming that she had psychic visions of baby lisa the night she disappeared and it may lead to her body. stephanie says according to what she felt that night, she thinks baby lisa was accidentally killed in her home and that the pod was dumped not too far away. joining me now with more is attorney joe tacopina who represents baby lisa's parents. good morning to you, joe. >> hi. good morning. >> gretchen: what do you make of this? >> i consulted my tarot cards this morning and didn't quite pan out. >> gretchen: you don't believe in psychics? >> i don't. but you know, things like this, what it does in an investigation like this, deborah and jeremy, every day, you know, grab on to any straw of hope they can grab on to and people like this who come out with these pronouncements, with these theories of what happened, had indicated the baby would be found three days ago. it's disheartening for them 'cause they want to believe that they're going o have a successful recovery of their baby. so anyone who comes forward with something like this, they grab on to it and unfortunately, they don't pan out. >> gretchen: i understand the parents' strife if they're not involved in this -- >> they're not involved in this. >> gretchen: you're the attorney representing them. but let me just say this, there must be something to what the psychics say and do because as you know, police actually use psychics from time to time to help them solve cases that they can't get to the bottom of. >> yes. that's clearly not the traditional investigatory tactic of choice. it's more of a desperation resort. in this case, i guess that's where we're at. but again, i haven't seen anything come to fruition. my office literally gets, gretchen, 50 e-mails a day with people saying we saw baby lisa. i'm a psychic. god came to me overnight and here is what happened. we pass them to the f.b.i. and try to filter them. >> gretchen: what this texas psychic says -- apparently she described the area almost to perfection even though she's never been to this part of missouri. she said the baby was accidentally killed in the home and dumped near a casino a couple miles from the irwin home, and volunteers will search the area. i guess that's because the police search has officially been called off? >> yeah. so we've heard. again, unfortunately, this family, who are victims of a horrific crime get their information via the media. the police do not really give them their information regarding the status of the investigation, but apparently they shut down this command center. which is disheartening to this family. >> gretchen: so far your compliant, the mom, she admitted she was drunk that night. she changed the last time -- >> she did not change the last time, gretchen. >> gretchen: she originally said 10:30 p.m. >> that's not accurate. what's accurate is she went in there and dave a rendition of events. she went in there five times over about 40 hours. at one point her recollection was refreshed that she may have stopped into the baby's room on the way to bed herself and maybe seen the baby at 10:30. she didn't say she put the baby to bed two different times. >> gretchen: according to police, she failed a lie detector test. what's your advice now to your client? >> well, i want to correct some statements. she did not fail a lie detector test. they never said that. they've never said that. that's not accurate. two, the cadaver dogs, again, that was something that was not accurate. it's not a dead body. it's decomposing human matter, which will be fecal matter from a baby's diaper, it contains some of that. so my advice to them is to keep hoping and praying, which is what they do every day, that eventually they'll get some answers. i hear live witnesses who are making identifications of men holding babies at 2:00 o'clock, 3:00 o'clock in the morning around the home. >> gretchen: joe, always great to see you. what's your definition of the american dream? we can all probably agree, a good job, home, healthy family. who is supposed to pay for that dream? the next story is a real eye opener. her dad joined us on the phone yesterday. but ivanka trump is one upping the donald 'cause she's here live on the curvy couch. come in, ivanka. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal?

[ man #4 ] i would love to see this thing fly. it's a dream, honestly. there it is. awesome. that's so cool! yeah, that was awesome! [ cheering ] i wanna see that again. ♪ >> gretchen: welcome back. we'll talk about a woman who can balance her career, her family life and a little bit of reality tv all into one day. ivanka trump knows all of that, being the daughter of donald trump and joins us in her first interview since becoming a new mom. welcome. >> thank you. >> steve: this is historic. >> a pleasure to be here. >> steve: great to have you. >> thank you. >> steve: tell us, have you stolen mrs. fields cookie recipe? >> something like that. i am all about simplicity and streamlining things, especially since the birth of my daughter. so it's a very simple, very good cookie recipe that i was just talking about with you. i'd recommend trying them. >> gretchen: it's all good for kids cancer. so you're advocating that people go and do this to benefit unfortunate kids who develop cancer. >> yes. i teamed up with the glad products and with cookies for kids cancer.org to basically create a series of bake sales that raise money for pediatric cancer research. so very important, particularly sensitive to this now, having my own child and knowing how devastating it must be for parents who go through this and glad very generously has agreed to donate ten cents for every single consumey sold through these bake sales. >> steve: so the idea is, go ahead and use your sister-in-law's recipe for the cookies and then try to sell them and then the money, unless you buy them yourself, would go to this project? >> exactly. you recommend ster on -- register on-line, or go to glad on facebook. that's a nice way to give back. >> brian: you're executive vice president of development and acquisitions at the trump organization. >> i am. >> brian: sounds challenging. what's more challenging, being a mom and having that job or those two separate organization -- >> definitely the former. >> brian: what's the biggest challenge to being a mom, considering you already had tremendous responsibility? >> there is so many challenges just in terms of the evolution of my daughter and just learning what to do. but truthfully it's just been so much more exciting than i could have ever imagined. i think the challenges are more internal. we were talking a little about balance and just struggling with what to do in my discretionary time, like i feel 100% guilty if i'm not 100% with her. there is that balance for doing things for yourself that totally falls by the wayside and every new mother sort of has to prioritize that. >> gretchen: one of the things you said was that -- i said you look fantastic after just having a baby over the summer and you said, i'm working on it because -- exercise is one of the things that's gone away for me. >> it has. and again, i think that would fall into a category of something that i prefer to be with my daughter than in a gym. now i have a great rationale for not being on the treadmill. far better than anything i used to have. >> steve: what about grandpa, is he spoiling the kid rotten? >> oh, of course. of course. that's what all grandfathers do. he does it particularly well. >> steve: has he bought a lambourghini stroller yet for the kid? >> not yet. we're going to work on teaching her good morals. it's not easy in this type of city. >> brian: be honest with me if you can. i heard a member of this cast, "celebrity apprentice," is the godfather, is that correct? >> that's a great rumor and that is not accurate. >> brian: so you're not going to reveal who is on it? >> i'm still auditioning for that role. we should talk later. >> brian: you are excited about this season? >> it's phenomenal. we just finished taping. it will be so good. we say that every season, but literally every season gets better, the quality of the celebrities, the people who want to be on the show and that's definitely true. >> brian: you don't bring meatloaf back, why should i watch? i loved him. >> there is a lot of crying, don't worry. >> gretchen: that's not remiss from this season. we will link your cookie cancer organization with our web site so people can learn more information. >> that's wonderful. thank you so much. >> brian: congratulations. >> great to be on. >> brian: meanwhile, straight ahead, our next guest is a professor on the very first day of class, he tells his students to hand over their wallets, then he steals every penny. it's a lesson parents and kids cannot afford to miss. >> steve: right now let's check in with bill hemmer for what's happened. >> great show, my the way. chris christie is not running for president, but he sure is fired up a strong message to the white house. you're going to hear that today. steven hayes, dr. mark siegle, great line - up. senator mark kirk on settling gitmo for all. the planet that maybe more like earth than anyone ever thought before. martha and i will see you in ten minutes at the top of the hour. >> steve: welcome back. it's a lesson p the american dream and all you parents and kids out there cannot afford to miss this segment. joining us is economics professor valencia college in florida, jack. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> steve: i'm doing find. thank you very much. i understand on one of the first days of your class, which is predominantly sophomore, you asked the kids to get out, write a ten-minute essay on what the american dream means to them. and this year the results were jaw dropping. tell us a little bit about it. >> well, in addition to asking them what the american dream looks like for them, i then had them write specifically what they wanted the federal government to do to help them achieve that dream. i took the essays from three classes, about 180 students back to my office and over the next day, poured over them. about 10% of the students said that they wanted the government to leave them alone and not tax them too much and let them regulate their own lives. but over 80% of the students said that -- american dream to them meant a house and a job and plenty of money for retirement and a vacation and things like this. but when it came to the part about the federal government, eight out of ten students said they wanted free health care, they wanted the government to pay for their tuition. they wanted the government to pay for the down payment on their house. they expected the government to, quote, give them a job. many of them said that they wanted the government to tax wealthier individuals so that they would have an opportunity to have a better life. >> steve: i tell you what, we've got a little snippet from one of the essays, one of the kids wrote. as human beings,e are not really responsible for our own acts, so we need government to control those who don't care about others. as you describe it, the kid said they want free college, they want down payments, free health care, have they been -- do you feel that is from this whole occupy movement, they feel like they're part of the 99 and they want the 1% to give them the rest of their lives? >> well, this essay was written before the occupy movement really took hold. >> steve: interesting. >> fundamentally, they had this belief before people in their cohort group took to the street to demand the same sort of things they wrote that they expected in this essay that they wrote for me. >> steve: where do you think this sense of entitlement comes from? >> well, certainly i think a big part of it comes from the public schools. when i started talking to my students over the semester and asked them how much time the public schools spend on the principles of john lock or adam smith or some of the other people who very clearly said that we have a god-given right to life, liberty and property, but the government doesn't have a responsibility to provide things for us. when i asked them how much of this they learn in their classes, k through 12, they stare at me and they say, well, we've never heard these sorts of things. so the public schools are part of it. i do think that the last 20 years or so we've seen a growing sense of entitlement by the american people. as you probably have read, that we're in a situation now where 44% of the american people now are living off of some sort of government benefit compared to only 29% back in the early '80s. i also think the last three years of having a president that appealed to the younger generation by saying that somehow people who are wealthier are a problem for us, much like franklin roosevelt told people 70 years ago and these people somehow should be sending their money to others, i think this is really caught on with a lot of students and they believe now that somehow the tooth fairy exists in washington, d.c. >> steve: yeah. dressed as uncle sam. before you go, tell me about the experiment you do in your class where you have -- you're essentially a pick pocket. >> well, yes. when i went back to class the next time to neat with them, i told them i read over their essays and i read some of the comments they had made and then i sat them on a table and i asked everybody to pull out their wallets and purses and i picked one student in each class and when their wallet was in their hand, i grabbed their wallet out forcefully and in one case, i grabbed a girl's purse and rifled out her wallet and pulled out her cash and i said that part of my american dream was to have a cabin in northern minnesota some day so i could have a nice retirement and that this money was now going to help fund that american dream. and of course, that set in motion explanation on why using the government to ploppedder people to support our american dream is fundamentally morally wrong, constitutionally wrong, and leads to a lot of economically bad events if we let that idea gain ground. >> steve: he's a professor of economics at valencia college in florida. jack, you better go back to class because you've got a lot of heads to fill. >> i will keep trying. thank you. >> steve: no kidding. we thank you very much for joining us live. >> my pleasure. >> steve: we're coming up on the top of the hour. live from new york in two minutes. why settle for a one-note cereal?
