Im elisabeth hasselbeck. We begin with a fox news alert. The president s power play. There are actions i have the Legal Authority to take as president , the same kinds of actions taken by democratic and republican president s before me. Millions of illegals allowed to stay in the United States. What it means to the new congress and you, the American People. Meanwhile, while you were sleeping this happened in ferguson, missouri. We have the breaking details on new trouble in

It is not always great when hes here. Why are you breaking that to me now . Last time Tucker Carlson was here it was about 10 30 in the morning and i pick up my device and i see hey steve, its tucker. Im wearing your coat. He walked out with my suit
coat. Im going to guard all my things closely today. Remember that . A lot to learn about you tucker. Thanks for joining us this morning. We have a lot of fun here right now but a lot of Important News to bring you. Our fox news alert is first. President obama officially lays out his new sciewfd on immigration allowing millions of illegals it stay right here in the United States. Were live in d. C. To break down the plan for you. Good morning, doug. Elisabeth, good morning. The president says this is not amnesty but at the very least its a major change in the way the nation enforces or in many instances no longer enforces itS Immigration laws. Heres the president from last night. It does not grant citizenship or the right to stay here permanently or offer the same benefits that citizens receive. Only congress can do that. All were saying is were not going to deport you. Not citizenship. But this still affects millions, perhaps five million illegal immigrants, the lie yns share lions share who have been in the country five years or longer illegally, parents of u. S. Citizens or legal residents here. The other part is the legality of the president s orders . Is he overstepping the bounds of his office . Many republicans think so. Here was the president s message about that. I have one answer pass a bill. This has been the least Productive Congress in modern history. If they wanted to pass an immigration law, we could have done this. We could have done this. Its been sitting. We never had an upordown vote it is not clear what the republican response to this is going to be, whether there will be lawsuits brought against the president because of these executive actions. The president heading to las vegas today to spheek
at a high school to speak at a high school there to go further about his plans on immigration policies. Doug said the president said last night it is not amnesty. According to the new york post, it is not amnesty. It is bamnesty. Bring me your tired, your poor, anybody. What is interesting last night when the president talked about how he is going to bypass congress, he said you know what . The border has never been so secure. In fact the number of people weve been sending back is the highest its been since 1970. Remember this . We have more agents and technology deployed to secure our southern border than at any time in our history. And offense the past six years illegal border crossings have been cut by more than half. Although this summer there was a brief spike in unaccompanied children being apprehended at our border, the number of such children is now actually lower than its been in nearly two years. Overall, the number of
people trying to cross our border illegally is at its lowest level since the 1970s. Those are the facts. Well, the facts are as they choose them. In fact the administration has changed the way they gather the facts. They have in terms of they actually expedited the process. You have to see a judge before that would count as a formal deportation. But it is happening now at the border. That is why those numbers are exponentially decreased. Charles krauthammer brought it down. The deportation numbers are completely distorted because up until obama the deportations that were counted were those from within the country. They changed the recording system, and anybody who today comes across and is returned immediately, who in the past was not counted, is now counted among the deported. So the numbers are inflated. And we all know why there was a decline in the river
of ilLegal Immigration over the last several years. It was because of the recession. And we all know that as the economy recovers, were going to have the crisis that we had this summer over and over again. This is a big deal. I mean, this is a vast number. To put it in some perspective, the president just added to the u. S. Workforce legally about the same number of people as jobs that have been created during his presidency. Every job created under obama could go to an illegal alien. The numbers match up exactly. By the way since the 70s, the Labor Force Participation rate, there are fewer americans working 5, 3 today looking for a job. Now they have new competition. One of the things the president keep in mind he was trying to sell the American People this is a sound idea because the border is secure and im sending all the criminals back. At one point the president did say were going to
play one more sound bite where the president says the number of people being deported are way, way up. Keep in mind theyre fudging the numbers because now theyre including some people in this particular number who decided to go home for one way or another on their own. Nonetheless, it adds up to, according to this administration, 80 . Heres the sound bite. Over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 . And thats why were going to keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom whos working hard to provide for her kids. Well prioritize, just like Law Enforcement does, every day. That sounds good. But included in that 80 now are people who decided to go home without being ordered. Not really deported for one
reason or another. He mentioned kids. Last night he said theres been a little spike in the number of kids this past year. Like 58,000. It was 12,000 a couple of years ago. Then 24,000 this year. Close to 70,000. This is so silly. They dont want to deport anybody. The whole point is is the electorate. Theyre unhappy with the vote. This is about increasing the voter base. The president can put forward any numbers that he wishes but some of the numbers striking the American People are those that have been killed by illegals particularly driving under the influence in the United States. Remember the i. C. E. Attorney we spoke to filed a discrimination lawsuit and was told colleagues were told to go easy on criminals with d. U. I. Convictions. We saw personally what that can do. We spoke to father whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant yesterday. Don rosenberg. This is not a story about my son. This is a story about 100,000 people that have been killed since the last amnesty and are getting killed at the rate of 5,000 a year. And ironically most of them, about 60 are being killed by people that are in the country illegally but have not committed any, what the administration called serious crimes. Theyre so concerned about separating families. What about our families . What about the millions of people whose families havent just been separated permanently, but have been destroyed . Last night the president threw down the gauntlet. He said because congress isnt going to do anything, im going to do it. Because thats in the constitution. If the congress doesnt take up the president s program and endorse it, he has a right its article 3, i think. [sound of buzzer] hes making it up as he goes. We would like you to sound off and let you know what you thought about the president s plan. Is it a good idea . Is it going to cause
continued gridlock . Or is this a real opportunity for the Republican Party to take the bull by the horns because lets face it ilLegal Immigration is a terrible problem in this country. Should the republicans come up with their own plan, a real Border Security plan or a Guest Worker Program that does not lead to automatic citizenship . Let us know. Friends foxnews. Com. You could also facebook us or tweet us. We will share all those. We want to share breaking news going on overnight in ferguson. Heather nauert joins us. Another big story were following this morning. Police officers chase and tackle a suspect accused of robbery and that take down is all caught on camera. Cops arresting at least three people in ferguson, missouri. In the meantime word overnight that officer Darren Wilson is in talks to resign from the police department. A decision on an indictment is expected any day now. Bizarre developments in that shooting at Florida State university that left three people dead just hours before the gunman opened fire he contacted eight friends. The reason why . Well, that is a mystery. The gunman, 31yearold myron may, warned his friends a package is in the mail on the way to their homes. Theyre expected to arrive today, and no one knows what is inside those packages. Police say he believes that the government was following him and that new documents reveal that he was hospitalized several weeks ago for a severe mental disorder. I stated three people died. Three people were rather injured. He is the one who was shot dead by police. Another arrest outside the white house. Secret Service Agents spotted a 23yearold woman with a holstered handgun on her hip. They nabbed her during demonstrations after president obamaS Immigration address last nate. The president was inside the white house at the time. Of course this follows a series of embarrassing security lapses at the
white house. Listen to this one. Mommy and daddy did it. An n. H. L. Star is blaming his parents for going bankrupt. 27yearold jack johnson of the Columbus Blue Jackets is in the hole for 50 million bucks. He turned over his outfit to his parents in 2011 after firing his financial advisor. Mom and dad spent the money on cars and home upgrades. Yes, his bankruptcy hearing will take mace in january. This guy had a 30 million contract. His parents managing his money. He knew they were managing his money but he didnt know they were buying homes and cars. They probably said that happened to me after my years on different strokes. Im serious. I remember that and its great that youre out of the can. Glad it all worked out for you tucker.

This as reverend al sharpton promises to protest in at least two dozen cities regardless of what the grand jury decides. Will this create more racial tension . Were going to ask Bishop Harry Jackson who joins us from st. Louis this morning. Bishop jackson, we thank you for joining us here. Its a stressful time. Im sure the mood there is high anxiety. Have you spoken with reverend al sharpton . I have not spoken with al sharpton. I do know him and have been many times a guest on his program. What do you think of his
plans to lead the way in potential protest here regardless of what the jury decides . I think, elisabeth, it is a knee jerk response. Two things happening. There is a concrete case before us and then there is a longterm history of concern about racial issues in america. His tem straitions are not going his demonstrations are not going to address those underlying problems. The work that has been done here, the 28th annual urban summit that is why im in st. Louis is going to be more systematic. Long term. The area is that folk in the community have to solve this problem, and there is a history, lynchings, racial profiling in the past. There is a current reality that has to be changed. The real message all of us
are trying to get out is black lives count and problems have to be addressed. But where these demonstrations around the nation fall short, in my opinion, is that there are no concrete steps of action in just a demonstration. And i think thats a problem. So local people have to come together. We have to understand each other. The event im involved in here is dealing with racial reconciliation at the root, using christianity as a bridge to bring people together of different races, and then having ongoing policy watches, systematic ways that we can reform whats going on in this community where there are many aberrant behaviors. Isnt violence an impediment . Looting and violence, what do those things have to do with justice . I think there has to be justice on both sides of the coin. Justice for this police officer. Hes got to go home at night after a conflict. And any policeman around the nation. And then justice must be done for those in the black community. And i think thats why we need intermediate and longerterm ways of addressing these issues. So, no, violence doesnt accomplish anything at this particular time. It feeds into some of the problems that were already having. Thanks, bishop. Coming up, here we go again. Five more gitmo prisoners set free. Is the president trying to clear the place out before the new congress is seated . Is that a good idea . Are your kids taking test after test after test . Up next, teachers who are fed up with it and they are refusing to give them tests. When i crave a smoke
thats all i crave. Thats where this comes in. Only nicorette gum has patented dualcoated technology for great taste. Plus nicorette gum gives you intense craving relief. And that helps put my craving in its place. Thats why i only choose nicorette. Is a really big deal. U with aches, fever and chills theres no such thing as a little flu. So why treat it like its a little cold . Theres something that works differently than overthecounter remedies. Prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. So call your doctor right away. Tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. Before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if youre pregnant, nursing, have Serious Health conditions, or take other medicines. If you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. Children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. The most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. So dont wait. Attack the flu virus at its source. Ask your doctor about tamiflu. Prescription for flu. At 24 minutes at the top of the hour. We have quick headlines for you now. While americans were distracted with the president s new amnesty plan, the Obama Administration quietly releasing five more terrorists from gitmo. Three were sent to the country georgia. The other two sent to slovakia. The white house claiming they are no longer dangerous. This is just disgusting. We spent tons of money and time to free him but turns out the american being held in north korea didnt want to leave. Matthew miller revealing he intentionally destroyed his passport and tried to get arrested so he could get a real feel for north korea. Great. Thank you very much. We told you about a florida
kindergarten teacher who won the fight against administering a state exam to her students. I really hope that this opens up a conversation so that we can look at testing all across the country in all of the grades. I think that theres too much testing thats going on and too much instruction time lost. But that fight is still continuing all across the country. Our next two guests are risking their jobs refusing to administer any more assessments to their students. Why . Joining us two first Grade Public School teachers, nikki jones and karen hendron. Karen, explain why youve drawn a line in the sand. You told your buses enough with the testing. Theyre little kids. Explain. We have to give what we call a math test. Its a 55question
