>> certainly takes time and other action on capitol hill, dream act failed in the senate of course addressing immigration and trying to get eventually legal status for students who want a pursue a college degree or join the military. it failed. and here is lindsey graham with a very passionate speech on the problems with the dream act, the senator from south carolina. >> we're not going to pass the dream act or any other legalization program until we secure our borders. there's a war raging in mexico that's compromising our national security and for those who bring up the bill today. i know why your a doing it. you're not doing it to advance the issue, you're doing it to advance your situation politically. it is not appreciated. you're making it harder. you care more about politics in the last two weeks than you care about governing the country, this will not help. >> you wonder if he was speaking directly to harry reid there. this was a top priority for harry reid. >> sure it was. >> he was voted back in and has a large hispanic constituency in nevada, but there were obviously many, many democrats who say they were disappointed by the turnout of this vote. let's listen to some of them. >> there's no excuse for some of our most patriotic, talented americans, how they were treated this morning. i call americans because that's what they are. that's all they know. >> and it will some day become a reality, but for today, it's a shame which politics took the center course of of the-- >> to rb our history of expansion of freedom and justice has required determination and persistence, these young people are the next generation of leaders in america. >> my emergency to these young people, never fear, we're in a fight because this is the right thing to do. >> none of those senators mentioned the five democrats that voted against the dream act and they're going to need all democratic votes and didn't have five of them. it is a tough issues because these are again, kids brought here to the united states by their illegal parents. it is an enormous political issue because as you mentioned, harry reid may have been reelected by the latino vote and that's going to be huge in 2012. again, and i think the obama administration is very disappointed because they've been deporting record numbers of illegal aliens in the last two years and getting nowhere. >> and that's the point. these are illegal aliens and everyone-- the democrats you heard, durbin, boxer saying, hang in there, hang-- these are people who are here illegally whether it's the parents' fault or not. do it the legal way and it's an open country. and there are people who do do it the right way and frankly they're taking jobs from people who do it the right way. >> an update for you on that controversial so-called ground zero mosque and you remember the talk about it this summer. this morning there's new information. there is a new york attorney named dudley griffin who apparently has ties to the salmi royal family and apparently floating an idea with local community leaders to move the mosque away from the former world trade center site and to what used to be st. vincent hospital. >> this is right on so many accounts. number one, it moves it away from the ground zero mosque which is less than two blocks, 500 feet away from ground zero, it's on ground zero which also had remains and parts of the airplane in the building that fell into the current location, it moves it away from that location and it puts it in the hospital that treated ground zero victims, this is right on many, many levels. it's a great idea i hope they really follow through on it. >> there's a lot of money behind it. the money would come from king abdullah of saudi arabia and he is one of the richest men in the world, worth north of 20 billion dollars. however, no confirmation on this from either side and there's no word yet, this is a report in the new york post, no word yet if the king and his representatives have spoken with el gamal and the developer of the ground zero mosque. it would cost 300 million dollars or far more-- >> and preserve the-- >> and we're talking about this. >> the pr though. >> sure, isn't it controversial? don't you remember the burning questions, where will the money come from? they're using foreign money. >> saudi money was the question. >> and yes, it would all from saudi money so i don't know how it makes it less controversial. sure, but still look at the origins, it's going to be american money before. we'll debate it and continue to debate it and meanwhile to the rest of the headlines. a fox news alert a developing story happening outside of jerusalem, a kidnapped american woman has been found dead. leland vitter joins us with the details, what do we know? >> we know her name, christine logan, we don't know where in the united states she's from. as we came out from the location from our live shots and iz legal military police and points, they were trying to find the suspect, the victim who survived the attack, christine's friend described as two arab men who then attacked them on the trail behind me. last night, the scene that's normally a place popular with pick nerers had massive police presence as they took to the air and on the ground and tried to find christine logan. her friend told police she was attacked by two arab men out here on the trail and they said they got off the trail and they asked them for water and then attacked them. the israeli friend who survives and the way that she got away was somehow deciding to play dead and then left her and took christine to some undisclosed location and by the time the israeli friend got back, she alerted authorities and began the search for christine, when they did indeed find she had been dead. as the investigation continues here, the focus, is this a terrorist attack? and police say they're looking into what they call a nationalistic motive and turned by palestinians to western or israeli targets and say they're looking into other possible motives or scenarios and we don't know what those are yet. of course, we'll keep you updated throughout the morning. >> how troubling. leland. thank you for the update. >> and the streets are calm and they could potentially turn into a battle later today and police in tehran are deployed on the street corners and possible violence as the the iranian government makes cuts on energy and food subsidies, and so far no misconduct and frightening trip after a tour bus veers off a highway in colorado and crashes on its side and two in serious condition, and the bus was carrying them to the butte. and john boehner and nancy pelosi are changing office as they switch from minority to majority leaders and the offices are getting paint jobs and most the stuff is stored in statutory hall while ne clean and move the stuff from office to office. moving is a bummer, even if you're in congress. >> there is a lot of stuff to move, too, a lot of boxes. >> i believe that. >> and let's go to rick reichmuth. >> she's not doing it herself. >> i think she's got her staffers. >> probably, and take a look at the temperatures as you're waking up. 4 degrees in minneapolis and certainly a cool one, but nobody all that bad once again. and east coast we've been talking about potential nor'easter, and i think a little more snow than we had yesterday and a light dusting and mostly along the coastal areas and a picture has not changed since yesterday. heavy rain moving in and heavy snow across the higher elevation and take a look at video from california. sacramento you're seeing heavy rain and snow levels right around 5 to 6,000 feet and yesterday they were higher than that, but i tell you what, if you're heading out to ski, spectacular, but we've got a major mess going on here and this is going to be with us at least until the day on wednesday, and another series of storms will continue to pull in, bringing more rain. additional 10 to 12 inches of rain and 10 to 12 feet of snow out here and not just in the burn areas, that's generally where we seem to get concerns, but we'll see them because the ground is going to be waterlogged, a the lot of areas across the west and we'll continue to talk about that and i'll show you some snowfall and rainfall totals we've seen coming up. back to you. >> boy, some good skiing in tahoe this weekend. rick. tables have turned and julian assange and now some of his secret documents have been leaked to the press and details not good. >> and did they fire santa claus because a handful of immigrant parents would be offended?

[ [children screaming] [growl] i met my husband here. i got to know my grandkids here. we've discovered so much here together. but my doctor told me that during that time my high cholesterol was contributing to plaque buildup in my arteries. that's why i'm fighting my cholesterol... with crestor. along with diet, crestor does more than help manage cholesterol, when diet and exercise alone aren't enough. crestor is also proven to slow plaque buildup in arteries. crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease, or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. simple blood tests will check for liver problems. tell your doctor about other medicines you are taking, or if you have muscle pain or weakness. that could be a sign of serious side effects. ask your doctor if crestor is right for you. i love it when we're here together. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. >> it president obama's health care law unconstitutional? 20 states are challenging in court and this comes after a federal judge in virginia ruled last week against the insurance mandates, so, where does the legal battle go from here? joining us ava maria school of law, the question, it's a big ruling, and however, however, the judge, lets me get this straight, judge henry b hudson ruled against the individual mandate not the whole obama kaur bill or law as it is, right, is that correct? >> that's correct, sir. >> so what did that mean for you, for the 20 other states that are looking to pick this up, to take this judge's ruling and go forward from there regarding a repeal of obama care? >> well, i think the ruling reference is one that's well grounded into law and good reason to believe the decision brought in florida, 10 or 20 attorneys general you just referenced and therefore i think that the challenger of the obama health care plan gained with this decision. >> 10 to 20 attorneys general. the and that number may increase, the attorney representing the 20 attorneys general said after the first of the year, after the new governors and the attorneys general come into office there may be 25 or 26 states that will be suing to repeal obama care. that's relevant why? >> well, i would say that, you know, what we're looking at here is the timeless struggle between the federal government and the states for our system and the attorneys general demonstrated they have a real interest in protecting the citizens of their states from the encroachment of federal power which this sort of legislation represents. i think that the more states attorneys general that join that struggle to sort of resisting federal power the more likely it is that the supreme court and other contracts will take the position seriously. >> talk about that commerce clause, why is that so important is this what can or cannot congress or government mandate we buy? >> well, that's one of the big core questions posed by this litigation. as the decision by the framers of the government. the federal government was supposed to be enumerated powers, and one was to regulate commerce among the states and over time, however, the supreme court has adopted a very broad view of that commerce power to the point where we now have federal legislation that requires citizens to purchase health insurance and in essence, by adopting that broad view of the power, many people believe that the supreme court has undermined the decision by our founding fathers and that concentrated power in the federal government poses a risk of teyranntyranny, as the individuals in the state. >> i'll wrap it up here, basically saying if congress decided, that energy drinks weren't good for you, they could mandate that as well. >> excellent question, if this law passes there's a real question about what, is there anything that congress cannot regulate. >> we're going to have to leave it there. appreciate your time. patrick gillen, ava maria institute of law. and will the bill pass eventually. what do the heroes think about the decision to put other votes ahead of their own health. one of those first responders here live. and the school fires santa claus because of a handful of immigrant parents explain why santa is suddenly gone. and one santa, that santa joining us live. hey, guys. printer's out of ink. just shake it.

week. for more we're joined by peter doocy in washington, tell us how this poll vote broke down. >> as you say the senate voted to repeal don't ask don't tell with votes from democrats, two independents and 8 republicans and since they passed it earlier in the week, all it needs to become law is the president's signature. and he's expected to sign it sometime this week. senate democrats yesterday were thrilled that this 17-year-old ban on openly gay men and women serving in the military which is over 13,000 members in its lifetime have been repealed by both houses there. >> so-- they're right, should have been done yesterday. >> and harry reid wasn't just talking to reporters, he was to lady gaga his message saying, this is a quote. we did it, dadt is a thing of the past. and many voted against the repeal feeling there should have been more debate going on and attention paid to the military leaders such as the head of the marine corps who said this week that he fears the repeal could lead to distracted marines which could lead to casualtities and michigan mcconnell echoed that sentiment v there's a lot the obstacles, including the head of the army and the air force and as you mentioned the commandant in the marines. >> the head of the joint chiefs and they decided was after surveying and the pentagon put up a survey and they researched this and what ne found was a difference in what we heard in mitch mcconnell's. they said that 92% of the respondents of the troops believed that having somebody openly gay on their team would not effect morale or effectiveness and after that, they were then ready to take it to the senate to vote on it. >> what peter was citing was combat troops, specifically those marines in combat, a very different job, very different responsibility and very different response from them as well. >> i understand that when you say that harry reid was quote, too, lady gaga. >> i'm going to call peter in the break and find out exactly what that means. >> right, worlds colliding. >> opposition has come a long way since '93 when clinton started the don't ask don't tell. >> it comes down to the troops on the ground the implementation of it. fine, it's passed, if it becomes law, now how do you implement it. >> that was john mccain's point as well why he leading the charge against it. meanwhile, one piece of legislation that did not fare as well in the senate was the dream act. the dream act of course was the plan to make illegal aliens who were brought here before they were 15 years old, some of them were infants, to make them citizens if they went to college for two years and go on to serve in the military for two years and that also was very controversial and very divided in the senate. let's listen first to why lindsey graham believes the dream act is bad. >> we're not going to pass the dream act or any other legalization program until we secure our borders. there's a war raging in mexico that's compromising our national security and to those who bring this bill up today, i know why you're doing it. you're not doing it to advance issues, you're going it to advance your situation politically. it's not appreciated. you're making it harder. you care more about politics in the la last two weeks than you care about governing the country. this will not help. >> well, listen, it's not debatable that this is a huge political issue, ask harry reid, some say he he may have been voted back in strictly on the heels of the hispanic vote and it's huge, going to be enormous in 2012 and that's what lindsey graham is saying, they're doing it for political purposes and would have affected 1.2 million illegal aliens in this country and it's not done, because listen, almost 800,000 people have been deported in the last few years by the obama administration and i think they thought that they would get some legislation from the republicans because of that enforcement. it hasn't happened and it won't happen in the next few years. >> and the estimates follows the money a little bit say they were between 5 and 10 billion dollar that this would have cost. it's probably-- >> costing more regard-- >> allowing the illegal immigrants here to stay, get the citizenship and the total cost of the dream act is 5 to 10 billion multiples, once you pass the dream act. borders will be swiss cheese, i have a kid under 16 years old. maybe we get in under the radar and i think it's a-- it was not time. >> you apparently were right. because it did fail and the democrats said they were very disappointed how it went, let's listen to them. >> there's no excuse for some of our-- how they were treated this morning, i call americans because that's what they are, that's all they know. >> and will some day become a reality, but for today, it's a shame in which politics took the center course. >> and freedom and justice requiring determination, courage and persistence, these young people are the next generation of leaders in america. >> my message to these young people is, never fear, we are not going anywhere, we're going to fight because this is the right thing to do. >> more democrats voted against it, five, than republicans voted in favor of it three. what's next on capitol hill? the senate is going to be busy. and the start treaty on monday closed door meetings on the start treaty, arms reduction

christmas tree, some families have a lot of stuff at the top of their wish list. >> in the men's room? that's the bathroom! (laughter) >> >> this was a terrifying scene that played out at a florida school board meeting and we ever to warn you this video is disturbing. clay duke fired shots at the meeting before eventually taking his own life. listen to this, he was not supposed to have a gun in the first place and putting the gun laws under closer scrutiny. with us now is the deputy chief of the panama city florida police department. deputy chief, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> we know that this .9 millimeter that clay duke had was purchased legally, but supposed to surrender it after stalking of his ex-wife. should florida authorities should have known that somehow? >> what you're asking, you're account on two variables, number one there would have been forth coming information from the dukes, mr. duke or his family and clearly in this particular case that did not happen and the other one's you're going that law enforcement would have known that mr. dukes had this particular weapon, which, which clearly we did not. >> and not only that, correct me if i'm wrong, but florida has no will you requiring the surrender of firearms by people who are prohibited from possessing firearms, so, doesn't that just defeat the very purpose of the prohibition? >> actually, florida does have those laws, like in one would be an example of domestic violence, the courts generally order that there be a transfer, rather, or surrender of firearms by the one party or another, and then obviously, when you are convicted of a felony, the courts generally do order you to surrender or the at least transfer ownership of the guns from yourself to say, a family member. >> that's helpful. i thought that florida didn't require it if it happened in another state. >> i'm sorry. i apologize, yes. >> and the case i believe, and here is the real question this morning, what's there anything that law enforcement could do to stop an obviously mentally unstable person from having this firearm and committing this crime? >> well, you go all the way back to, to, if that hand n had been purchased after the brady bill, for instance, wassan acted, then he would have had to fill out a questionnaire and answer that question, whether or not he was suffering from any mental illness. obviously in this particular case, mr. duke purchased that gun beforehand and didn't have to fill out the paper work, in this particular instance, i've said before, mr. duke was an unknown to us. he had not had any run-ins with local authorities so therefore we were unaware of any propensity for violence he may have had. >> so deputy chief, we only have a few seconds, what's the answer here? to stop this in the future? >> i know that everybody wants bigger government-- more government, but i'm the not sure that's the case. individuals that are dead set on committing criminal acts, are going to do it, whether it's a firearm, a kitchen knife, a box cutter, whatever the weapon of choice may be. >> the deputy chief of panama city, florida. thanks for coming in. >> thank you for having me. >> well, the project to build a mosque near ground zero might be scrapped. the proposed change in plans coming up. and what's christmas without a camel?

>> first of all, let me he say i'm a little dis.ed for his comments. he's been a hero for me, the reason i joined in the first place and i felt i owed senator mccain a debt to repay with my service because of the sacrifices in the service that he made to his country and personally, it's disappointing to hear him say that, my 19 1/2 years in the airs force on some kind of political agenda. what i would say to senator mccain is this is just going to make the military stronger across the board just as racial integration did in the 50's as you alluded to and gender, women in combat units in the 7 0s and '80s, the military will be stronger now. >> and certainly admiral mullen joins your sentiment. but another said there's disruption at the small unit level as this is implemented not right away, over the next several months or perhaps a year. do you think there are be major hiccups along the way or a smooth transition. >> i think it will be a smooth transition, i've been serving openly in my squadron over a year and a half and i don't need a survey or anything the theoretical to say they're disciplined and we're focusing on executing the mission and only care that the person next to us, loves their country and want to serve it, it's their dedicated mission as well and able to do their job. i think it's just as it was in u.k. and israel as their chief of their military said that this is going to be a nonissue and going to make their military stronger and will with ours as well. >> well, lt. colonel, victor, congratulations on the ruling yesterday and thanks for coming in with your personal story, you have a lot of insight into this. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for your service as well. coming up new information on the fox news alert, an american tourist found dead in israel. police think she was murdered. the latest on the search for her killers when we take you there live. >> he claims he can make any human super human, the guy behind the four hour work week is tell you how to get a four hour body. we need this because we have a four hour show. >> yes. r. but i was still taking a foolish risk with my cholesterol. anyone with high cholesterol may be at increased risk of heart attack. diet and exercise weren't enough for me. i stopped kidding myself. i've been eating healthier, exercising more... and now i'm also taking lipitor. if you've been kidding yourself about high cholesterol...stop. along with diet, lipitor has been shown to lower bad cholesterol 39% to 60%. lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in paents who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease. [ fele announcer ] lipitor is not for everyone, including peoe with liver problems and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications or ifou have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. let's go, boy, go! whoo-whee! if you have high cholesterol, you may be at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. don't kid yourself. talk to your doctor about your risk and about lipitor. >> take a look to shed the holiday pounds. get better night's sleep, a better batting swing or hold your breath underwater more than houdini. our next guest says you can do it all, become superhuman. the four oyed body, big book. what do you mean the 4-hour body and why did you write it? >> the 4-hour body. one of the smallest changes you can make with the biggest results for the physical body, losing fat, sleeping better, running further, 50 topics in all. >> okay, and how long did it take to you write the book? this is a hefty book? >> ten years of data and three years of testing with scientists, athletes, coaches, the whole nine yards. >> let's talk about holiday time, we put on a few extra pounds. you have tips for dropping some of the pounds. let's go through them. you say, add cinnamon to your coffee, what does it do. >> we tracked a few hundred people to lose weight, one is my dad, lost 70 pounds of fat adding cinnamon, two to five extra pounds. trading your balanced diet for a strategic yo-yo diet. >> if you set one day a week to overeat, helpful for christmas, accelerate fat loss and limit the damage. one day a week eating what you want to eat can help out. >> just one day. what about this, drinking 500 milliliters on ice water on an empty stomach. >> first thing in the morning, worked with nasa scientists, accelerate fat loss, it druggers the thermal genic effect and burns calories. >> and a lot of people have problems sleeping and you have a couple of tips for better sleep. eat two tablespoons of raw almond butter, seems strange. people sometimes feel tired after waking up. low blood sugar, eating the almond butter you can prevent that. >> take a cold bath one hour prior to going to bed. the common logic would be a warm shower. >> when you take a cold bath or shower, triggers the hormonal response. >> this one doesn't sound right, it sounds like it will counter balance the first topic, cholesterol loading. >> this is odd, i tripled by testosterone with diet and went from about an hour to get to sleep to less than ten minutes and it was cholesterol and we can talk about the long-term effects of cholesterol, a lot of misunderstanding with that, but it helps you get-- >> won't you become fatter? >> no, nothing, but meat and nuts for 21 days straight to see what would happen. >> so the good cholesterol. >> the good cholesterol. >> can we get through a couple of the before and after pictures, guys, take a look at some of them. we have them. >> there you go. this is, go ahead. >> this is tracy lost 117 pounds, and you can see the mother of two, and looks ten years younger and she's doing two to three, 20-minute workouts per week and that's it. >> that's it. >> we're not talking four hours a day and the 4-hour body talking a couple-- >> literally an hour or less. >> this is you? >> this is me looking rather thin and this is me 34 pounds later, 28 days later with no drugs and actually, lowered bilateral 222 -- you have dramatic measures you took, one point you took a cocktail of efedrine, caffeine and aspirin. >> i tried serving so that people that read it don't have to. i did the extreme to the moderate and people choose the safest and most effective. >> the 4-hour body, thanks for joining us. >> yeah, my pleasure. >> all right, we're awaiting an implosion, demolition of two buildings, part of a sugar plant in texas, we'll bring you that as soon as it happens and then there's new support in the senate to provide health care to 9/11 responders, but that bill failed miserably in the past and will that be the story at the top of the hour and banning electronics secrets to-- dangerous, too, because it's hard for the police to tell. after this. hey, lawrence, my parents want to talk to you. oh. about what? uh, they don't really think you're an exchange student. what? they think you're a businessman, using our house to meet new clients in china. for reals, player?

senate. overturning the military ban on openly gay troops. the dream act failed. will congress head home or is there more drama ahead. >> new support in this senate -- seeks to provide healthcare to 9/11 first responders but that bill failed once in the senate before. will the latest push be enough. >> he's one in 7 billion going from no musical talent to a savant after hitting his head. that's amazing. >> alisyn: you guys are sports guys, a concussion turned him into a musical savant. >> dave: eric in for clayton this morning. a huge weekend to be here. >> eric: a lot going on. >> dave: an emormons ruling a enormous ruling. reteal on don't ask, don't tell in the military. president obama is expected to sign the measure into law. >> eric: peter doocy is live in washington with more. >> eric, with 6 5 votes, the senate voted yesterday to repeal don't ask, don't tell and since the house of representatives did the same earlier in the week, the only thing is needs to be law is president obama's signature. those who voted for the repeal were thrilled yesterday the ban on openly gay men and women serving in the military, which led to dis missal of over 13,000 men and women during the 17 year lifetime is one step away from being history. >> if a young man or woman, some cases not so young, want to serve our country, they shouldn't have to live a lie to act as a patriot. >> opponents were just as passionate in the senate because many think the ban can serve a purpose and repeal can do more harm than good. >> this is harmful during a time of war and irresponsible. the commandant stated it could risk lives. >> he was referring to words from general james amos who said getting rid of don't ask, don't tell could be a distraction that could lead to casualties. once the president makes the repeal a lot, it will be a while before policy changes because as part of the bill, the president, secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs need to review the pentagon report about a possible repeal and certify it will not do damage to our servicemen and women and the defense department has a plan to implement the law. >> alisyn: thank you for that very much. as john mccain was leading the opposition against the repeal and what he said was that it was the implementation he was worried about. particularly in a time of war, that it would somehow slow down the troops. many speed before you did ahead but a historic event. >> dave: he said don't think there won't be a great cost so it's something the admiral and gates want to take their time with. also, legislation on immigration failing on capitol hill saturday. the dream act. it was legislation aimed at those who came to the country at 16 years or younger brought by their parents who were illegal aliens if they went to college or served in the military. they could get citizenship. blah. >> it's not about the estimated 1.2 million. >> we're not going to pass the dream act or any other legalization program until we secure our borders. there's a war raging in mexico that is compromising our national security and to those who bring this bill up today, i know why you're doing it. you're not doing it to advance the issue, you're doing it to advance your situation politically. it's not appreciated. you're making it harder. you care more about politics in the last two weeks than you care about governing the country. this will not help. >> alisyn: that was one of the complaints people had about the dream act. we have a legal immigrant who will come on the show soon. one of his complaints was it went up to 29 years old. if it was just about minors, it's a big complaint. if it was about minors to came at infants or toddlers through no fault of their own, why not end it at 18. >> eric: the other argument against the dream act was it was a path way to full amnesty. the first crack of the administration saying what's next, whole families and then a massive amnesty reform. >> dave: five democrats voted against the dream act, the majority in favor. elites. >> there's no excuse for some of our most patriotic and talented americans, how they were treated this morning. i call americans because that's what they are. that's all they know. >> it will some day being a reality but today, it's a shame witch politics took the center course of this event. >> through the history the expansion of freedom and justice required determination, courage and persistence, these young people are the next generation of leaders in america. >> my message to these young people is never fear. we're not going anywhere. we're going to fight because this is the right thing to do. >> alisyn: some think this is the last opportunity it had for a while, particularly since the republicans take over the house in january. but you heard barbara boxer and nancy pelosi saying she'll keep fighting for the dream act. she says we're not deterred in our determination to add advocate for this. >> we need to point out they're still breaking the law by being here. >> eric: three republicans voted in favor of the dream act. what's next for the senate? they've got a busy couple of days. they're today talking about the stark treat y monday they hope to pass resolution to fund the government. that's important. somehow the last thing they're going to work on. harry reid hopes to bring a bill on the 9/11 first responders. those who desperately need healthcare to treat their injuries and cancer and some of the things they're suffering from as a result of their response to 9/11. some were trapped in the rubble. one retired firefighter, vincent for forest, he was trapped for hours and they desperately need help. >> to me it's another attack on america but more sinister than 9/11 as we watched so many brothers, 1200 first responders died since 9/11 and what do we have to show for this? what are we doing to support the best amongst us? it's crazy. i don't see this as a republican or democratic issue, this is an american issue. if our american patriots don't stand up and contact their representatives, and say you know, next time this happens, these guys may not even show up. what are we going to do. >> it has been a republican issue. they have in the senate been holding this bill you will. >> alisyn: because they wanted a way to pay for it. $7.4 billion so they wanted some offset to pay for it because they feel strongly about deficit spending. the senator from new york things there's a way, she thinks it would be a christmas miracle but she's optimistic and the offset would be 2% fee of procurement contracts for certain countries combined with visa fees. >> fantastic. they have to figure out a way to pay for it. also, if i'm not mistaken, there were other things attached to the bill the republicans were complaining about. they said the internet gambling issue, that was attached to it. >> dave: right now i'm not sure there's anything attached to it. but here's the new york senator on positive hopes for the 9/11 bill. >> we have the votes we need. we've had indications from several republicans that they very much want to vote for this bill. they would like to vote for a stand-alone bill. there's a agreement on a pay for so the hope is to get to the bill as soon as the stark beal is completed. >> alisyn: they're cramming everything in to go home. >> eric: a busy lame duck. >> alisyn: let's get to the rest of the headlines. we have a fox news alert. a massive search leads israel police to the body of a kidnapped american tourist found with multiple stab wounds. they were hiking when assaulted by two arab men. no information is being released. a live report from jerusalem with the latest coming up later. >> a frightening trip for 46 passenger air their tour bus veers off a highway in gunnison, colorado and crashes. eight people were hospitalized including two in serious condition. the bus was carrying a church group from texas to crested butte. >> an emergency closed door meeting about escalating tension on the korean pins peninsula. the exercise will happen by tuesday despite pyongyang's threat of a catastrophe. >> houses decked with tons of lights. the two houses have movie themes, one the grinch and the other the griswalds after national lampoon's christmas vacation. the thousands of spectators that checked out the displays voted for which house is the best. the neighbors call it a spirit the competition. >> we don't know the winner. >> alisyn: i guess we'll know at christmas. >> eric: the grinch verses the griswald. >> not even close. >> rick, how do you like the sound of that? >> i take the one with the farm animals. >> alisyn: like us. >> there were farm animals. >> this puts it over the top. >> of course. if you have farm animals, that's better than lights. here you go, cold in the far northern plains. sioux falls, bismarck. calm across the central part of the country. pineapple express bringing rain to california and snow in the higher elevations. the pictures coming in out of sacramento, lower in the valley, then up in the higher elevations, chains required to get in the higher elevations and the ski resorts going crazy enjoying this. yesterday's snow level was higher. today the snow level will drop. colder air moving in means you'll need chains on the lower levels as you move towards the mountains. central part of the country good, eastern parts good. florida, great for the next week. across the east a little bit of a coastal storm and tonight and tomorrow know in the coastal areas, cape cod and the islands. this storm, by tomorrow it starts to dive in across the far northern plains bringing snow across north dakota and minnesota maybe three or four inches. minnesota, you've had one of your snowiest starts to winter. here's your high temps. cold across the north. 70 in el paso. >> the pineapple express sounds delicious, they need something more intimidating. >> alisyn: what do you mean? >> it sounds like a fruity drink. >> alisyn: it belies the danger. >> what is harry reid planning as the senate's clock ticks towards january 1s? chris wallace will join us live from washington with more on the lame duck session and whether or not it's been a success. >> one bah humbug, the school that fired santa claus because a handful of immigrant

>> joining us, dr. nathan cobb. >> for viewers that don't know, the smoke you see coming out is water vapor, not secondhand smoke. why are we pushing for a public ban on e-are cigarettes? >> it's not water, it's a chemical in a lot of things but the concern here is that this is a new device, nicotine inhalers pulled off the market in 1997. marketing nicotine in this way has a new set of risks that aren't present in traditional cigarettes and are a tremendous concern to the public health community. >> ray, your reaction and do these e-cigarettes cause potential damage to those around you? is there a case of secondhand smoke damage? >> no, there's not. and even though i believe the te doctor is well-informed he's wrong about the 1997 product that was brought out back then. this is a completely different product and it's water vapor and pro pa lean glycol and we use it in so many products that americans use daily. to stop this product from being used or painted with the same brush as a conventional cigarette is irresponsible. >> there's no tobacco and no evidence to suggest they harm anyone, why ban them? >> they have nicotine. when you look back at cigarettes there was no evidence they harmed anyone. the absence of evidence is not a good reason to bring a new product into the market. there were safe inhalers in the market. just because these have batteries and fake smoke doesn't make them a new product subject to different regular -- regulations. >> the difference is these are not marketed like cigarettes with the hip ads and sports and cartoon characters. these are an adult product not aimed at young people in any way, shape or form. ray, he brings up a good point, for decades people said cigarettes were not going to damage you either. we know better now, don't we? >> well that's correct. however, we found that the tv, eca and we would like to see regulation, but the fda has come out and said this particular product is 1400 times less harmful than a conventional cigarette. why not allow it? cigarettes have 7,000 chemicals. 65 carcinogens and that's the main cause of death that can be prevented in this country. if you have a product that's 1400 times less harmful than a conventional cigarette why not allow it to be here? no matter what -- >> go ahead. >> this product only delivers nicotine to the body and other ingredients are approved by the fda and can't harm you. >> dave: i manage this debate will continue across the country. thank you both. let us know how you feel about this on twitter. >> coming up, julian assange is about to get a taste of his own medicine. pretty bad taste. somebody leaked his personal secret documents to the press. bah humbug, the school that fired santa claus because of a handful of reported immigrant parents might be offended. hear santa's side of the story after the break. there will be more than tinsel glinting around our trees. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. we're lowering the cost of christmas morning. buy any ryobi super combo or lithium-ion combo kit and get a free obi power tool wth up to 99 bucks. >> welcome back, everybody. thanks for joining us. have you lost something?

head of the head start said if there was one person against it ruins it. >> even if 50 families love it. >> they call it tyranny of the my minority. one family trumps the wishes of dozens of families. the head of head start said, quote, we have somali families in the program, we're respecting the wishes of families in the program. i'm not sure how those are connected or what this means. >> end quote. >> i'm pretty sure they have christian families in the program that want to see sanity sanity -- santa class. >> let's go over to rick, cooking up christmas goodness. >> we've got great scott here, from great scott chefs.com back here. it's less than a week until christmas. you're probably putting together your details for dinner. what about a traditional italian dessert. you're doing italian lately. >> i am. >> that's your thing. >> but this is very versatile. so happy hanukkah, merry christmas and i promise if you make this at home, people will be fighting over it in a good way. >> i'm impressed. i don't know how to say this. >> i call it struffle but the right way is struffley. >> we have flour, baking powder, butter eo eggs and vanilla. you have your flour and baking powder then the sugar in the center. the recipe is on greatscottchef.com. we put our eggs in the center. this is like my grandmother, god rest her soul, would make a plate for everybody's family and after nagging her, she would make me a plate. it just brings great memories. so here we create a volcano-like well. we have sugar and egg. then we slowly push our flour in. you can use a mixer, but you don't want to overwork the dough, rick. i like to do it by hand. it's very fun with the kids. could be a little messy. >> dave: it's like pasta or noodles but with sugar. >> correct. here we're mixing this. after everything is mixed, we put our butter in. and in french, you call that frazer, to like incorporate the butter, but you don't want to overwork it and you want the butter nice and cold. this is what we come up with. >> dave: so you get your dough and you put it in the fridge, probably. >> in the fridge for a half hour so it becomes nice and firm. so here -- and this is the fun part -- very daunting to people that know because you want to roll them out by hand. i rolled it out with a rolling pin to a half inch. now i'm going to cut it length wise and then cross-wise. and they don't expand that much even though there's baking powder in the recipe. so it's going to get a little bigger than the actual size. we take this and we want to -- >> dave: you roll them. the thing that amazes me is italian food and past is hand made. >> after you taste it once, it's the funnest work. a labor of love. >> dave: do you fry these? >> you do. you asked me about this earlier, new technology. instead of putting a thermometer in the oil, you take this gismo, press it, and it will tell you, here we have 250 degrees. >> dave: this is a thermometer without sticking it in the oil. if you are looking for a christmas gift for somebody in the kitchen, this is amazing. >> he can get that on line. go to thermometers. >> dave: you dump these into the oil, fry them up. >> dump them into the oil. we fry them up. i'll take these. you have to be very careful with this because the flour will start to make the oil expand. so you always want to have a large pot with a little amount of oil. >> dave: our finished product. what do you do after you fry it? >> assume this is fried to golden brown. put it on a sheet pan. we take our honey. you never boil honey so you bring it to 160 degrees, poaching temperature. shut it off after 160 and with our gadget we can tell what the temperature is. we put our struffle in, put them on a plate then have the children put the sprinkles on. >> dave: there you go, you can get these recipes from www.greatscottchef.com. >> coups de gras. we have ice cream, black raspberries. >> perfect. over to you on the couch. >> send some food over as well. coming up, more about an american woman found dead in israel. police say she was murdered while her friend escaped. a live report from the scene in jewel let jerusalem. >> we'll be joined by the musical savant who got his talent after hitting his head on the bottom of a swimming pool coming up. i have asthma. and en my symptoms came back i'd get this tightness in my chest. so i went back to my doctor again. we chose symbicort to help control my asthma symptoms all day and night.

[ male announcer ] if you can't afford yr medication, astzeneca may be able to help. >> this is a fox news alert for you. a developing story just outside the jerusalem where police tell fox news a kidnapped american woman was found dead. >> we're joined live from jerusalem with the latest. good morning, leland. >> reporter: this is an absolutely unbelievable story. the trailhead where susan wilson ran out saying she had been attacked by two arab men. still 20 hours after the crime that took her friend's life, there's an israeli army checkpoint up as they search for these supposed assailants. last night about 5:00 is when wilson came out here and said she was attacked. there was an air and ground search for christine logan, now confirmed as being killed. they won't say how she was murdered. she's an manner -- american visitor. the two were hiking, a couple of men came asking for water and they were attacked about a knife. miss wilson told israeli tv the way she escaped was by playing dead. when she came to the trailhead, she had a number of cuts but was only lightly wounded and her hands were bound. what is interesting is according to police, they're looking into every possible motive, including the possibility there were two arab men. if there's a palestinian who attacked and israeli or western target. they searched a couple of palestinian villages for suspects but have not arrested anybody. police say they're looking into other motives, including personal motives as they try to figure out who did this and why. susan wilson has given this interview and we're working to get the tape together, translated and get more information. they say they're still looking for who might have killed kristin logan in the israeli forest. >> so mysterious and a needle in the haystack looking for those suspects. thank you very much. we can see this becoming an international incident. coming up, should teachers and students be friends on facebook? the controversial debate ahead. >> the project to build a ground zero mosque might be scrapped. >> the musical savant who considers himself one in 7 billion. he got his musical talent just after hitting his head on the bottom of a swimming pool. >> couple of headlines. the new video this morning from germany, prince harry laying a wreath during his visit to the berlin wall museum, commemorating those who died. last night he was honored for charity work. >> michael jackson's neverland ranch may be a haven for teenage musicians even more than before. the owners of the property want to turn the ranch into a music institute. his family calls the idea interesting. >> should teachers be friends with students on facebook? it's a question causing a lot of controversy. one school in massachusetts says the relationship is so inappropriate they've banned student-teacher friend requests. with both sides, a psychologist and detective lieutenant in new jersey. good morning. >> doctor, i come at this as a parent and i think would i want my kids friends with their teacher on facebook. some of these kids are 17 and 18. some teachers are 23, 24, a narrow gap. why would a student need to be friends with their teacher? >> i don't know if it's a matter of being friends. but i do feel as though any ban on the internet will drive people to do like they did during prohibition. it's going to put it underground. you can't stop people from being friends on facebook. you can't stop the students from asking teachers who may be almost their contemporaries but are their teachers, can you help me? i need extra help. the internet is part of our lives. the internet is part of their student's education. it is not going away. and to put a ban on it is only making it that much more enticing. that much more exciting. but there would be a need to speak to teachers. >> okay. detective lieutenant, you come at this from a different angle. you say being friends, a student with their teacher on facebook, might lead to inappropriate. >> a dose of reality. it's great in theory first of all teachers and students should speak with each other in the classroom or in the presence of parents. the danger you have here is what if the student begins to speak to the teacher about sex education. that's where we have had a lot of problems in this country with interaction between teachers and students on the internet. the ban will certainly prevent a lot of that. furthermore, you have to look at the litigation, the lawsuits that would be filed against school districts. >> the school in massachusetts says it protects students from being exposed to what they should not be exposed to but it protect the staff from having the difficult task of saying no to somebody. how do you prevent the inappropriate behavior that might come about because of this relationship? >> if there's an education component to it, there should be an education, there should be a way that teachers and students have developed guidelines themself. i don't think you can prohibit things. you can develop guidelines. when a kid is in junior or senior in high school, they're 16, 17, 18, they're able to make some of their own decisions. and if they need to speak to a teacher to work on the work that they're doing in class, it should be appropriate. but teachers need to set up their own guidelines. they need to have perhaps internet hours. >> couldn't be helpful, lieutenant, to get that relationship to help after hours, you want to talk about academics. >> it's called making an appointment with the teacher and going into the classroom. get ahold of your parents. do you want your child at 10:00 p.m. at night talking to a teacher? you said it all. a 23-year-old teacher talking to a 16-year-old student about -- i'm going to use sex education because that's where problems occur. i think that's opening a door to a lot of trouble. >> we're going to hear more about this. we're out of time. thank you very much. >> thank you. all right. a lot is happening in the senate today and this weekend. the democrats are trying to sneak final pet projects through the senate but not without opposition. >> more about politics in the last two weeks than you care about governing the country. this will not help. >> the latest on the last-minute deals going on at the top of the hour. >> and think the smartphone apps are cool? the majority only serve one purpose, stealing your information and this time they can prove it. >> then don't miss the fox & friends prime time christmas special this friday with the kardashian sisters, i kid you not. and the p.s. 22 choir. they're great. and so much more. it should be fun for everybody. it's this friday, christmas eve, 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. eastern. tune in for that. captioning by, closed captioning services, inc. >> alisyn: good morning, today is sunday, december 19th. and this is a "fox news alert." because an american tourist has been found dead at a parenting israel. police -- park in israel. >> dave: you win some, you lose some, an historic vote in the senate overturning our military's ban on openly gay troops and the democrats' historic dream act failed. will dems go for one more win? a live report from washington, coming up. >> clayton: and maybe they had a change of heart, organizers may be planning to move the ground zero mosque and opponents say, don't celebrate just yet. "fox & friends," starts, right now. >> dave: hey there, good sunday morning. hour number 4... of "fox & friends." >> already? >> dave: can you believe it? time flies by. >> alisyn: it's not long enough for eric boling, filling in for clayton. >> dave: enjoying time off. >> let's go straight through to tomorrow. >> alisyn: a record! >> dave: when there is big news, it helps time fly, enormous news on capitol hill, don't ask, don't tell, which some compare to desegregation in the military in the 1950s, allowing women to serve in the 1970s, it is enormous. >> alisyn: the ban on gays serving openly in the military is now history. the senate voting to repeal, don't ask, don't tell with president obama expected to sign the repeal later this week. >> peter doocy is live with more. you have been very busy the last couple of days. >> reporter: i have been and we counted up all the votes, 8 republicans, join 55 democrats and two independents in voting for the repeal of don't ask, don't tell, something the house of representatives has already done, and now as soon as the bill has the president's signature, on it, it is a law and supporters on both sides of the aisle said yesterday, that the vote, which repeals the ban, that dismissed over 13,000 servicemen and women in its time is' big step forward for gay rights. >> this -- a young man or woman, some cases not quite so young, wants to serve our country, they shouldn't have to live a lie, in order to act as a patriot. >> reporter: the only democrat who did not support this repeal was west virginia senator joe manchin, you see him there and he was not around to vote on this or the dream act but he put out a statement and claimed that his opposition is because of the repeal's potential effect on the core of cap palestiniahaplainch >> it is an irresponsible manner the command dent of the marine corps stated it could potentially harm lives. >> reporter: and expressed fears a repeal could lead to distraction and distractions could lead to casualties, and it is important to note there is no timetable on when changes to the military policy will take effect or how it will happen, it will be a few months, though, because, nothing can go forward until the president and the secretary of defense and the chairman of joint chiefs of staff, justify that they have reviewed the pentagon's recommendations and concluded that the repeal of don't ask, don't tell will not do our men and women in uniform, any harm. back to you guys. >> alisyn: thank you very much. it seems there are still speed bumps ahead... >> dave: meaninhe mentioned the military chaplain and that will be a big story in the weeks ahead. >> alisyn: it is huge and historic, and happened yesterday. what did not fare well was the dream act, which was the legislation what would have allowed children brought here by their parents when they were young, infants, to become citizens if they signed up for two years of college or the military and would have been a fast track for kids who were brought here, and that failed. and let's listen to why senator lindsey graham said he never liked the dream act. >> we're not going to pass the dream act or any other legalization program until we secure our borders. there is a war raging in mexico, that is compromising our national security, and to those who will bring you the bill up today, i know why you are doing it. you are not doing it to advance the issues, you are doing it to advance your situation politicalcally. it is not appreciated. you are making it harder. you care more about politics in the last two weeks than you care about governing the country. this will not help. >> dave: it will not help republicans, sorry, eric -- in 2012, you'll hear more about it and other republicans say it wasn't the right way to go about it. kaye bailey hutchinson says he need more time to discuss it. they are not against the immigrants who would have taken advantage of it, and they don't want a back door to amnesty. >> and there is a cost associated with it. don't forget, once someone is a citizen they have to be provided health care if they get a job and there are costs and the thought is that if you provide that citizenship to the children, the dream act kids, 167 to 29 years -- 16 to 29 years old, the families get health care as well. there are costs associated, 5 to $20 billion. >> alisyn: and the flip side, the argument was we have invested so much in these kids, they have gone to our public schools and some have been standout students and some valedictorian, and, 16,000 graduate each year, from american high schools and the other argument, we've already invested lots of money in them and we should capitalize on that, coming up we have a legal immigrants here to talk about all of the loopholes he found unsettling in the dream act. >> julie: bennett, luger and murkowski voted for it and five democrats against id and let's hear from the senate majority leader in support of the dream act. >> there is no excuse for some of our most patriotic and talented americans, how they were treated this morning. i call them americans because that is what they are. >> it will someday become a reality but today is a shame, politics took the center course of the -- the center of it. >> throughout our history, the expansion of freedom and justice has required determination, courage, and persistence, these young people are the next generation of leaders in america. >> my message to these young people is, never fear. we are not going anywhere. we are going to fight because this is the right thing to do. >> dave: we should point out the obama administration has supported an estimated 800,000 illegals in two years, some thought there was a quid pro quo the republicans would support the dream act if they upped the enforcement of the policies and did not happen and nothing will happen in two years with the g.o.p. taking over the house, january 5th. >> a couple of senators who made a great point, close the borders, so you don't have more and more people flying into the country. >> alisyn: and, we have been debating that on the couch and you have been sending in interesting e-mails this is ground zero mosque. you remember all the cry about that over the summer and beyond, it was too close to ground zero and there may be a plan afoot this morning, there's a news report, that there is a local new york business man, dudley gaffin who has ties to the saudi royal family and has a plan, move it a mile away, move the mosque, the plan for the mosque and the cultural center, about a mile away, to what used to be st. svincent's hospital, and, yu can see where ground zero is, lower manhattan and move it to the site. here's the rub, it would cost $300 million as opposed to $100 million and he plans to get one from the saudi royal family to do so detector and it would save a hospital and move it away from the sensitive area and save the st. sin vevincent's hospital an abdullah, the saudi ring would provi -- saudi king would provide the money, and, he's one of the richest men in the world, and they say, why would they want it here, and if he's trying do good by the 9/11 victims and this is clearly for pr, then, shouldn't we welcome the money? i don't know. >> we should point out it is the saudi billionaire who said let's do it here and we have not heard from imam running the ground zero mosque and remember, it was going to be 13 stories high, overlooking a federal building, overlooking into the world trade center site, some would call that, have called it a victory mosque, and moving it a mile away, takes that argument out of the ballgame, opening up a hospital, this is all good. >> alisyn: by the way, we should mention, that mayor bloomberg's office, it would have to go through his office, to be green lighted, has heard nothing of the plan, and so it is in its infancy and, your e-mails, if he wants to show sensitivity, ban islam from politics and ensure women have equal rights, and people have issues with how the saudis treat their citizens. >> dave: and dorothy says if a person objects to santa... oh, no. son ta he's out, but if a whole country objects to a mosque at ground zero it can be built? it seems me are more concerned about the minorities of the country than our own culture and traditions, blending two topics we have discussed here. >> paying attention for three hours. again, political correctness, some would say ruining the country. adrian says: i don't agree with having a mosque near ground zero, it would be a sensitive subject forever, people still remember pearl harbor and always there. i'm with you, adrian, i agree. >> dave: friends@foxnews.com, and twitter you can find me at dave briggs. >> alisyn: we have a "fox news alert," right now, because, israeli police have discovered the body of an american tourist reported missing a day earlier in jerusalem. christine logan was on a hike with her friends, when they reportedly were assaulted by two arab men, at least that is what her friend said. it is unclear whether it was a terror attack or some kind of personal dispute, we'll bring you more facts when we have them and a scary detour for 46 members of a texas church group and the tour bus veers off of a snowy highway, roads near gunnison, colorado and rolled over on its side, 8 people were hospitalized and two in serious condition and they were headed to crested view. he was convicted on one of 225 terror related counts and now, former guantanamo detainee ahmed glandy wants that thrown -- ahmac -- between out of there's, nancy pelosi and john boehner are switching offices and the offices are getting paints jobs and most of the stuff is being stored in the different hall while they clean and move stuff from one office to another, i'm sure she left behind a wonderful welcome gift. >> dave: i'm sure, and, imagine carrying the boxes and bumping into... oh, hi, nancy. >> life the guy alone. >> julie: i'm sure they have people do it for them. rick reich muth, my office mate, we have offices -- >> rick: gym socks and stuff, more like it. dave, move your socks! that's the message. we have snow across parts of long island and towards cape cod and the island and parts of k kentucky -- i mean connecticut and it will be gone tomorrow and it will be cooler across parts of the northeast and breezy tomorrow, we might see a few delays in the airports because of the wind and overall the eastern part of the country will be looking good, at least for the next couple of days and florida, you will be looking good all week long and across the west, the big problems are, heavy rain and mountain snow and totals will be 15 inches of rain by the time we get to wednesday and 15 feet of snow in a few spots but i think the heaviest of the moisture, this week, over the next two days will shift farther towards the south, places like los angeles and down towards san diego you will be getting significant precipitation as well. winter storm warnings all across the west, you see the blue, that is watches, for tomorrow afternoon and night, across parts of north dakota and minnesota and we'll see maybe areas 4 to 5 inches of the snow developing and, overall, guys, this is just a very, almost dangerous pattern, because we'll be dealing with flooding and threat for mudslides because it will go into wednesday and thursday and people traveling these next few days and we'll be dealing with big problems, we'll continue to watch it here, guys, back to you. >> dave: just tell me my flight will get out, buddy! >> the democrats' dream act failed on the senate floor. don't count the legislation out, the plan to make certain illegal immigrants u.s. citizens could make a come back. we'll explain, next. >> alisyn: a soldier's surprise, like we have never seen before, three kids about to learn that the santa claus there, is actually their father, a soldier
