"fox & friends" starts now. >> hi. this is john hurley and you're watching aminu. good -- and you're watching "fox & friends." good for you. >> thank you, jay peterman. freezing today! >> for some even more than others. we're going to start with an extreme weather alert. want to know how cold it is outside, just watch this. >> man, he opened the window there in chicago. that blast of frigid air poured into the guy's apartment.

look at him. why is he in a t-shirt? >> he's extreme. >> is he an actor? how low do temperatures go and go? how low did they get last night? maria molina was out there all night standing there to get that answer. >> we are currently in single digits in new york city and that is without the wind. the wind chill is well below zero across most of the northeast, the great lakes, the midwest. you're looking at subzero temperatures as far south as georgia. we want to show you this picture. this is from minnesota and minneapolis. look at this guy's eyelashes, completely frozen after running to work in negative 20 degree weather in minneapolis. that was the temperature freezing across many of these areas. many of you have heard the term. it is polar vortex, the name for a very cold air mass originating from the north pole that's moved south ward.

that is what is producing record setting cold temperatures across parts of the midwest and even down into georgia. wind chill advisories are posted as far south as florida. typically you think maybe we can go to florida and escape the cold. no, not this time. it is cold all the way down into florida. let's look at the maps and show you how cold it is across the country because current temperatures are very cold, below zero across portions of the great lakes. then you've got to factor in the wind and those wind chills are dangerously cold. that is why we have warnings and advisories in effect even into portions of upstate new york. under these conditions you are looking at the risk for hyperthermia and frostbite if you do not bundle up properly across many of these areas. the high temperatures are going to be in the single digits across portions of the upper midwest and into the great lakes today. there is good news in the forecast. over the next few days we're gradually going to be seeing a warmup.

by this weekend most of the temperaturesing to be closer to normal for this time of year. of course we have cold air going over the great lakes. that means lake-effect snow. we're talking feet of snow off of lake erie. >> it is currently 4 degrees out there. it was colder yesterday in minnesota than it is on the surface of mars. if i'm reading this map right the average temperature in the united states right now according to weatherbell.com is 13.9 degrees. >> that is the problem with putting the earth on its axis -fpls -- on its axis. >> it is actually colder in minnesota than mars. >> great safety note, maria, to stay warm, kids and pets alike. >> someone hug maria and

warm her up. let's talk about the president's theme for the next year. instead of saying what a bad 2013 i had, let's make 2014 better, his tone over the weekend taking on republicans, blaming them for unemployment benefits not continuing past 99 weeks i thought was noteworthy and set a bad tone for this upcoming year but what do i know. also the president has something else to talk about. income inequality, fairness, raise the minimum wage, unemployment extension, make it happen; have a heart. i don't get it. is the economy recovering? are we out of a recession or are we still in a depression? >> you know what he's trying to do? change the subject because the last thing they want to talk about is obamacare. >> is he entitled to his own set of fiction? we're not certain. the facts indicate, from 2000 to 2012 the income of the top 1%, 2009 to 2012, the income of the top 1% rose by 31.4%. the income for everyone

else, guess how much that grew? .4%. you want to talk inequality, look at the past set of years under obama. 2011-2012, the median income declined. we're looking at a set of details here that are facts, yet being told in terms of fiction that the inequality is someone else's fault that he's there to fix. >> get a mirror. he could blame himself because the income disparity has become wider under this president. and so today at 11:40 in the east room, he's going to urge congress to pass these emergency unemployment benefits. think about it. how many times have we heard the democrats talk about the economy is on the recovery. things are so much better. if they're so bad, how come five years later we need emergency unemployment benefits? brit hume summed it up like this last night. >> no one is arguing that these benefits should go on forever, and the white house notes it is only asking for another three months at a cost of about $6 billion.

will that be the end of it? will the emergency at last be over? upon taking office, the president and his party set two big goals. one was to revive the economy. the other to reform health care. the obamacare mess tells us where we are on one. the call for further unemployment payments tells us where we are on the other. >> it is the worst -- it creates angst, people walking around who are struggling or working two jobs are angry at other people who are doing well because the president is setting a bad tone. >> class warfare. >> blame other people because you are struggling. if there are things that can be taken with you, to the economy to allow wages to grow, let's do it. i think people are open to an honest discussion with intelligent, economic minds. i don't think it has to be a bad guy with every speech in every moment. here it is. he picked up the phone yesterday to the president and talked to so-called moderate republicans like senator susan collins. senator collins said if you want my vote for unemployment extension, can

you at least put in a job training program to put an end to this? and there's still other people saying and charles krauthammer with a great idea of other things we can do in terms of extending the three months. but instead of just giving people three months of pay, say i'll give you this, but in turn end it. listen. >> so i think what the republicans ought to do is to recognize that it's becoming an entitlement and they would oppose that. on the other hand, it is still tough times and unemployment is relatively high. and if we were to count the people who quit looking, it would be 11%. so i think what they ought to do is to say we'll accept the short term, the three months, but only if you build into the bill an unwinding of this so it has an ending, so we all understand it isn't an entitlement, it is a way to help people temporarily. that would be a good solution. >> the comments there are wise and i think charles

krauthammer expressed compassion. susan collins in terms of job training, the note there is great, it would be a great practical implementation. but i think many people feel the one thing that, a was promised, and, b would really help is job creation. job creation would solve the problem, not just cover. but i think we understand it is a tough time out there for many people. >> that is what charles krauthammer was talking about. it should not -- emergency unemployment shouldn't become an entitlement. like the old, ancient chinese proverb. give a man a fish, he eats for a day. teach a man how to fish and he eats for a lifetime. >> we're going to cast our line over to heather nauert right now for headlines. >> you don't want to be out fishing today. >> i like fishing. >> my father-in-law is fishing now in minnesota. how crazy is that? good morning to you all. hope you're off to a great day. in just a few hours from now police in pennsylvania will hold a new press conference to update us on the case of road rage that left a man dead.

right now they're searching for the gunman who killed 28-year-old timothy davidson. he was driving along interstate 21 when another driver chased him and shot him. cops believe the vehicle is a small pickup truck. they are still on the lookout for him. we're getting a first look at the man charged with murdering a priest in california. this is gary lee bullock in court being arraigned on murder charges. autopsy results show the reverend eric freed was beaten with a wooden stick and metal pipe inside his church. we now know bullock was released from jail a few hours before the murder took place. he was behind bars on assault charges but was obviously let out. >> a stunning decision banning the sale of guns unconstitutional and according to to a federal judge in chicago, so is the ban on gun shops. the judge just overturned the sale and transfer of firearms there. he ruled that the law went too far by banning legal buyers from engaging in lawful sales. this is a big victory for

gun rights advocates. those are your headlines, brian. last night college football. >> the last time you had a chance to vote on who the two best teams were took place this year, this time and we had our last final in the system. two teams entered. only one would emerge the national champions. watching this earlier you probably thought to yourself auburn is so much better than florida state. >> florida state rules the b.c.s. >> because they overcame a 21-10 deficit to do just that. auburn came out on fire. up 21-10, they add to that with under two minutes left, goes up 31-27. but after that they were on fire. they simply turned it up. >> touchdown auburn. >> auburn was off again. then florida state would strike. this would be the winning score. that would be it. they would hold on to win

their national championship, the first since 1999. the final score 34-31. congratulations. nick sabe was giving analysis at the end, i thought it was great. >> a pivotal play. >> great punt. it looked like auburn was steam rolling. one play changed the tempo. >> that was a fun game. coming up, constitutional right to bear arms but one government agency breaking a new record in confiscating them. >> it's being called a nail in the coffin for one of america's most powerful unions. lawmakers finally taking a stand and siding with boeing. could this trend be coming to your hometown or home state? >> it is cold. it is so cold most of the country has numbers lower than president obama. that's how cold it is.

16 minutes after the top of the hour on this bitterly cold tuesday. boeing scoring a victory against big labor with a new eight-year contract that keeps thousands of jobs in washington state. the world's biggest plane maker was searching for a new manufacturing home for its new 777-x jetliner. the question is will boeing's deal prove to be a turning point for unions? let's talk to fox news contributor mallory factor, the author of "shadow bosses: all about unions in america." >> good morning. how is this latest union deal a nail in the coffins for america's unions? >> this has been going on

forever with the private-sector unions. private-sector unions are less than 6% now unionized. it is the public sector that has the big unionization. when you push these companies, these companies can threaten to move to friendlier places and that's what basically happened. they had to concede or they were going to lose 20,000 jobs in washington. >> we got a lot of viewers in south carolina. there is a great big dream liner plant building boeing's dream liner down in charleston, south. what boeing said to the unions was unless you agree to concessions with pension costs we're going to else and 22 sites said we'll take a plant right here. >> they knew in washington, the union guys knew they either had to concede or they were going to lose jobs big-time. but also the state gave them $8.7 billion to stay. that's like $1,250 a

person, every man, woman and child had to give that to boeing to stay as well. >> is it worth it to the washington state folks it's a lot of jobs. >> it's a lot of jobs. i'm from south carolina. i'm from charleston. boeing has literally transformed charleston in a few years since i've gotten there in 2009. >> there was a turf battle. it was intra-union because the international union said take the deal and the locals in this boeing deal said no, let's not. what they wanted to do was boeing wanted to replace the pension with a pay into a 401(k). >> they did replace it finally. the first vote was two-thirds against, one-third for. the second vote, they only won by 600 votes but they did win. these union guys knew they were going to lose jobs. and they didn't want to. the big international unions didn't want to lose also their dues as well. >> international won, the

locals lost. the people of washington state wind up with a big manufacturer in their state for a number of years. but then in 2020 or so, what's going to happen? >> the 737, 757 is going to be replaced. in 2019, 2020 the whole thing starts again and boeing will be pounding on the unions. remember, boeing is the 800-pound guerrilla. they can move almost anywhere because jobs, jobs, jobs is what governors and states want to bring in. >> in this case boeing won, union lost. >> remember the public-sector unions, there is no shareholder there. government employees keep pressing and there is nobody to press back. >> they do. the author of shadow boxes, mallory factor, thank you so much. >> nice tock here. cold, though, in this town. >> tell me about it. it's cold in charleston. >> charleston is beautiful. >> it is cold down there. take a look at this video. a plane goes down exploding

prosperityty." dick bove i are. dick, welcome. why aren't banks the problem? >> there was this great increase in money as a result of the huge trade deficits the united stated. countries like china, for example, built up trillions of dollars worth of excess funds which had to be invested and they went to invest them in the united states and the economy wasn't growing fast enough to absorb that money. banks certainly were a problem because they accelerated the problems that were occurring with these investments that were being made. but you couldn't have caused the crisis if you didn't have excess money in the first place. >> you put forward the notion that the administration and government aimed a missile at the big banks in order to solve that but ended up hitting the american people. and there are three areas we're going to go through today which you note had been affected with overregulating big banks since they are not the enemy, as you say. the first is households. how are households affected

here when big banks are regulated? >> they are going to be affected -- or they have been affected in a number of ways. first of all, if we get rid of things like fannie mae and freddie mac, big banks willing not make 20 year and 30 year fixed rate mortgages. they will disappear from the scene. if 20 year, 30 year fixed rate mortgages disappear what these banks are willing to do is make 10 or 15 year mortgages which are adjustable in nature. that means prices of homes go down. less home equity in order to spend on college education, trips to florida or what have you. the bottom line is what you're seeing is there will be fewer people who will be able to afford housing. >> do you think they should act more responsible than they did? you don't think they should go away. you say it will affect the number of people who have credit cards and debit cards. small business, how do big banks affect small business? >> essentially they are

penalized if they make loans to small businesses relative to making loans to the u.s. government. for example, there is a bank in detroit called co-merica. they have something called 107% risk weighted to normal assets. what that means is they're paying -- they're raising capital on 107% of their assets which is more, of course, than they have, than 100%. credit suisse, which is another bank which operates in the united states, has only 20% risk-weighted assets to assets. the difference is comerica has to raise capital because it lends to businesses. credit suisse doesn't lend to businesses so it doesn't need to raise all this capital. the net result overall is if you look at loans to small businesses from 2008 to the present, they're down. they're down and everything else in banking is up. large businesses, how are they affected?

.essentially we're dealing with a huge global financial system. there's $26 trillion in convertible currencies. if you believe believe it, 1.6 quadrillion in the notional value of swaps. if you want to be an international company building large projects around the world, you have to be able to borrow large amounts of money. if the united states banks shrink while banks in canada to china grow, then these companies are going to borrow money in canada and china, and the jobs associated with these projects are going to go to canada and china, not to the united states. >> you say if. is this indeed what's happening right now? are we a shrinking global economy by comparison? >> the global financial system is growing. we are shrinking as part of it. in 1952 #, 88% of all currencies in the world were the dollar. today 18% is. there are more yen, yuan, the chinese currency, and

euros outstanding than there are dollars. >> in your book you talk about you're not a big fan of dodd-frank and paulson did a great job helping to save the economy. it is all in your book, guardians of america: why americans need more banks. coming up straight ahead, we are an opponent of teachers union, an opponent of the teachers union never saw coming. the students. they have combined to fight back against teachers that aren't good enough for them to achieve. >> that's right. she got the flu shot. now she can't stop sleeping. how in the world does that happen? >> what is sleep called? today we want to wish a happy birthday to singer and song writer kenny loggins because he was on our show. ♪ ♪

to assess whether that teacher is beneficial when it comes to the student. they are standing up and demanding better education. >> they think they don't have a good teacher, they think they don't have a quality education but there is no grading system like they try to put in in new york. so it is going to be the students' opinion that the teachers aren't up to par because their scores aren't reflective of other communities. >> they say -- this is part of the press release. ineffective teachers are entrenched in california's public school system. the super ten dense of many school systems affirm their schools are belee -- beleagured by ineffective teachers. the california teachers system hopes they lose in this case. when you look at the facts, you've got young, new, a lot of excited teachers and then you've got some teachers who have been in the job protected by tenure

after 18 months. the way it is if they're going to have layoffs, the first ones laid off are the newest ones. michelle rhee has been on this program talking about it for a couple of years where if there are going to be layoffs, let's look at who is going to be laid off. >> the guts of this are interesting. to hear students being so active in the desire for their education is awesome. i think it's great they're standing up that they are placing value on it. i think they speak for millions of students out there. for that alone i give this an a-plus. >> in new york, you come out with an education degree, you want to get a teaching job, you can't get a job in a private or public school now. you can't get it. florida there is a big need but you can't get one around here because no one is retiring. >> there are incredible teachers out there. great educators that are out there. and i think it's great to be met with students with the vibe and heat for continued greatness. >> one of the thing that the teachers union has sued against, for instance, down

in washington, d.c. when michelle rhee was the school chancellor, she wanted to get really good teachers who belong to the union a big pay raise. you're doing a really good job, we're going to give you a pay raise. the unions said no, everyone has to get the same amount of money. that is the way it is with teachers unions across the country. why don't we pay our teachers more? our kids get one education if their lifetime. make it count. it is heartbreaking that so many kids wind up with a bad education because they are in what some deem to be a bad school district. >> heather nauert. >> eup know it can be a tough job being a teacher. >> hardest job in the world. >> a vocation not like any other. >> but you get the vacation in the summer. >> thanks for the coffee this morning, brian. appreciate it. >> it hasn't come in yet. >> no, it just did. >> he brought you coffee and didn't buy anybody else coffee? >> heather asked.

shockingly the n.s.a. won't confirm or deny anything. joining us is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. what do you make of all of that crossing talk? >> this seems to be getting worse and worse. the spying seems to be far more massive than we thought it was when edward snowden revealed it in june. here's the back story. last week senator bernie sanders, independent/socialist from vermont, sent a letter to general alexander who we just saw, the head of the n.s.a., saying just answer this simple question for me, general. does the n.s.a. or does the n.s.a. not spy on congress? has the n.s.a. spied or is the n.s.a. currently spying on members of congress or other american elected officials? spying would include -- and then he, gathering meta data made on calls, website or collecting any data from a party? answer was members of congress have the same constitutional protections

as members of the public. >> are we supposed to feel better about that? >> no. members of congress don't feel better it because that sort of nonanswer was basically saying you're in the same category as everybody else and if we want to spy on you, we will. the reason that the n.s.a. won't say yes or noes because there are calls to prosecute general alexander for the answer we just saw him give. >> why? >> the question was, do you have the ability to read e-mails and listen to phone calls? answer: no, we don't have the authority. he didn't answer the question. >> they have the capacity to do it? >> yes. when you do that under oath before congress, that's called misleading congress and that's the equivalent of perjury. that's five years in jail. we also have the instance of general clapper, who is general alexander's boss, being asked by senator wyden: does the government gather massive amounts of information about americans? remember where he rubs his forehead and he says no, no, not wittingly.

>> does the n.s.a. collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. >> see now, general clapper was told in advance that that question was coming. >> awkward -- >> the truthful answer would have been, senator, i'm not able to answer that question in public. but to answer lying as he did has caused members of congress from both parties to suggest that he should be indicted for perjury. lying under oath before congress is a crime whether you're the head of the n.s.a. or whether you're roger clemens, who was acquitted, by the way. so the n.s.a., concerned that they might be prosecuted for lying, answered senator sanders' letter by saying, you have the same protections as everybody else. before we started you said to me who do they spy on,

the n.s.a.? they spy on the supreme court. they spy on the pentagon. they spy on the c.i.a. they spy on other spies. surely they're spying on the congress. >> why would we think they wouldn't be? and why did -- >> there is no reason to think they wouldn't. they don't want to admit it. the than congress could tell the president how to manage the military in war time. their responsibilities are distinct. >> we have some blurry lines in other areas. so why not here? >> we have pretty upset members of the house and the senate. >> rightfully so. judge, thank you. >> happy new year. >> happy new year. great to see new 2014. >> thank you. he exposed the shrimp on a treadmill, the zombie video game and countless others examples of ridiculous government spending, but senator dr. coburn says this year government waste should get worse.

kids did to show it's choice. i think in the documentary that i made of this, one of the kids said it best when he said, this experiment shows us that it's not mcdonald's that makes us fat. it's our choices. >> what were the boundaryies. >> the kids had to keep it a 2,000-calorie diet and we were tracking 15 different nutrients and they had to keach them in the rda's as established. >> people are reaching out for the story as far away as japan and around the country, all for this iowa teacher who gave his students this assignment. >> this has been incredible. i'm getting one e-mail a minute, from japan, china, australia, from belgium. >> from mcdonald's? >> oh, no. i haven't heard from mcdonald's. up until three days ago, they had no clue this was going on. >> if i was them, i'd call you. because you're a success story. if you eat smartly, you can lose weight. >> thank you very much. >> thank you.

how icy cold it was yesterday. >> it gave me goose bumps just looking at that. >> how cold is it going to go today? right now outside our world headquarters, maria, i'm seeing over your shoulders, it's 4 degrees. >> yeah. it's very cold outside. it's so cold that we did a little science experiment and we posted it on instagram so you have to check it out on our instagram page. it's a video of taking boiling water, running outside with it, we threw it up in the air and it turned to snow. the national weather service is calling this a life-threatening cold for those not in shelters. so please stay safe. and wanted to show you an image of minnesota. a within was running to work. his eyebrows and eye lashes actually froze. the temperature out there was 20 degrees below zero. so again, very dangerous stuff. hypothermia and frost bite can occur within a couple of minutes

if you weren't prepared outdoors. a wind chill temperature, that isn't something felt by your car or by a building. it's actually what your skin feels like when you combine cold temperatures and very windy conditions and those cold temperatures are in place all the way down to parts florida where we have wind chill advisories. otherwise let's look at the maps. current temperatures are actually below zero across portions of the great lakes and also into parts of the upper midwest. you factor in the wind and those wind chills are dangerously cold. colder than 30 degrees below zero in some areas. actual tee been warmer in parts of alaska than parts of texas early yesterday morning. it's going to get warmer. we expect temperatures to warm up as we head into this weekend. today, not so much. single digits across chicago, minnesota. here is a look at the forecast coming up for saturday. you can see a little better across most of the country. a lot more seasonable across the northeast and the midwest.

back inside. >> all right. thank you very much. i know a lot of people don't have instagram, so i'll show you just the moment of impact. maria has just a moment ago gone in, heated up a bunch of water here at work, she's about to go outside. >> watch this. >> instant snow. thank you. follow us on "fox & friends" on stain gram if you want to see the whole thing. >> today is a big day. the president set to speak later today from the east room in the white house and he's actual will he going to take on the extension to unemployment benefits right now with a tone really of separating the classes, talking about inequality when it comes to the masses. people are wondering, is this something that is coming up because he's trying to divide and conquer the american people? if he's saying that inequality

exists, all you have to do is look back on the calendar. look what it's been like under the obama administration. we're looking facts here. 2009 to 2012, income of the top 1% rose by 31.4%. the income for everyone else under that administration rows by just 0.4%. >> so are what you saying, if the president is saying we've got a terrible income inequality problem, your evidence shows it got worse on his watch. >> yeah. what he's saying might be true, but it may be indeed to your point just happening on his time zone here. so i don't know how you can say it with blame when, in fact, it's on your clock. >> here is what he's talking about. people lower, middle class a problem and it's rich people. people behind him at his press conference today, he'll say people hyped me don't have unemployment benefits and it's because republicans tonight want to increase it. he'll paint a sad picture where

he's the only one with a heart in america. number two is, he's going to be talking about an improving economy. you can not talk about the economy improving, that recovery is here, at the same time say emergency, we need 99 weeks of unemployment insurance, middle and lower class wages are not going up. it's an emergency the rich are getting richer. what is he talking about? what is his plan? he's going to talk about promise zones. who is going to finance that? how is that going to make the deficit better? >> here is what's going on politically? the democrats realize that if the republicans control the conversation right up to the election in november, republicans will win because americans don't like the way the democrats have installed oner u.s. is health care on the nation. they're trying to change the subject. the subject is unemployment right now. emergency to brian's point. so how can republicans win the moral argument? steven hayes made a good point

last night on "special report". >> you can't have unemployment insurance that goes on forever. there's got to be a cutoff date. while the white house saying it will be three months, we've been hearing that for five years. there used to be widespread bipartisan agreement that it was the last place to go, the last place that somebody who was down on their luck could turn. now it's increasingly becoming a way of life and what's surprising to me is that republicans aren't making a moral case about how often unemployment insurance that goes on forever leads to more unemployment. >> governors who are doing such a great job of taking businesses out of high tax places like new york and california start going to different states saying come to texas, come to florida. come to north dakota. we have a ton of jobs. why don't they start using that magnet? >> one of the problems is if you are in a state with high unemployment and you're getting paid unemployment to stay in that state, why take the chance and move to north dakota where

there are a whole bunch of jobs? because it might make sense financially, but it's a big leap and it's handier to go down and get the money where you're at. >> you're allowing to those who might be taking advantage of the system and there is a mix there. there is a mix of those and a mix that actually need it. this is not the current administration's idea invention of this emergency plan. it's been around since 1918 under roosevelt. it became national. i do think that this is what's great about our country. there is an emergency plan. but to have it extended and extended without limits is something that concerns everyone. >> instead of giving corporations incentives to move, give corporations incentives to move. >> and are people gaming the system? i got a friend who runs a grocery store and he says he has certain employees who come back once a year or so, work for a little while and as soon as they can be, they're laid off and go, this is great. we get unemployment insurance now for two years. >> from layoffs to tossovers. there is heather nauert. i saw your tweet of your dad

fishing. i cannot believe how cold it was. >> my father-in-law, for those who don't know, lives in minnesota, along with my mother-in-law. and he went ice fishing despite how cold it is in minnesota. >> i saw the little house in the background. >> that little house you saw is not the ice house. rather, that's the outhouse. imagine that. >> good morning to you all. right now police in pennsylvania are still searching for the gunman who killed 28-year-old timothy davisson. in a few hours from now, police will hold a press conference to update us on that case of road rage. davidson was driving along interstate 81 when another driver chased him and shot him. cops believe the shooter's vehicle is a small pick up truck. we'll keep you posted. a stunning decision banning the sale of guns is unconstitutional. according to a federal judge in chicago, so is the ban on gun shops. the judge just overturned the sale and transfer of firearms.

he ruled that the law went too far by banning legal buyers from engaging in lawful gun sales. gun rights advocates say they hope other cities also think about fighting illegal gun sales will take note of this decision. take a look at these incredible pictures. a bus driver loses control and drives right through a parking garage, leaving the bus teetering on the edge. this happening in boise, idaho. ten people were on the bus at the time, but no one hurt. the driver says his brakes failed. the damage to the building, in the thousands of dollars. those are your headlines. brian, you've got a look at college football. >> the bcs championships. next year there is a playoff. this year the two best teams in the country were locking horns. florida state against auburn. here is how it looked. first here is how it ended. >> florida state rules the bcs! >> it was dramatic, a ton of scoring and never give up on both sides. first auburn takes a high lead early, 21-10.

looking so strong. i thought it would be a blowout. 7-3. here is the key point in the game. a fake punt reversible. they suddenly started to believe they could play with these guys. then jameis winston, with benjamin, puts florida state on top of the first time they've won a national title since 1999. our former guest was there then, 34-31 was the final. what a comeback. what a day. winston played great when he needed to. >> that's the game where you had to watch 'til the bitter end. >> i think the networks like that. 11 minutes after the hour. coming up, does your wife drive you nuts? meet the man who would rather be locked up than be nagged by his other half. >> that's even possible. and senator coburn makes it his business to expose government waste. but he says this year it could get a whole lot worse than just shrimp on a treadmill. joining us live. he's here next. ♪

>> this is not designed to go on forever. it is a temporary life line in difficult times that our country has relied on for well over half century and the president feels very strongly that this deserves the support of both democratic and republican senators. >> the white house making a final push for extending unemployment benefits and just hours from now, a test vote will take place in the senate. is an emergency extension the right move for our economy? dr. tom coburn joins us now from capitol hill. good morning, doctor. >> good morning. how are you?

>> so here we are about to face -- you're going to see a vote go down at 10:30 today. what will come of it? is extending these benefits beneficial long-term? >> no. probably not. look, this is the sixth year of this, of extended unemployment benefits. the question people ought to be asking is what are we doing to create jobs rather than to pay people who tonight have a job, who are look for a job? we're wasting $30 billion a year on job programs that tonight work. we have millionaires collecting unemployment because if you just eliminated that, you could save $100 million. if you eliminated those people who are on disability who are also collecting unemployment, you could save 6 billion over the next ten years. this bill costs $6 billion. it's not paid for. so it's about borrowing money from children in the future to pay for a benefit today. the real why aren't we creating jobs and why aren't we

moving the economy and why aren't we picking the fiscal mess that's here? why aren't we creating the confidence that needs to be developed for that to happen? >> if i'm hearing you correctly, you're saying the real cure for unemployment is job creation. in terms of paying for this emergency system here, which for some, they need a rescue for a little while, temperaturely. but to pay for it, you outline in the waste book, there are tons of ways, we saw the shrimp running on the treadmill which i'm sure cost a ton of money. the money is there. why isn't being put in the proper place to help those get back to work? >> my attitude is there is not much reality coming out of washington. there is a whole lot of political spin. to speak the truth, the fact is that our economy isn't growing the way we'd like it to. we're not doing the things we need to to make it grow by eliminating some tremendously large amount of overregulation today. we're not creating confidence so that people will invest in the

future. so the problem is washington, as much as anything. so now we're going to have a political issue. you don't care if you won't extend this. but if you look at the states that cut it back, they've actually lowered their unemployment rate and increased their job formation. so there is a debate economically about whether this is an incentive that is a disincentive to work versus an incentive to help people. i want to help everybody who needs help. but i also want to incentivize them to help themselves. we're not doing that with this program. >> you also shared a perspective. your op ed, washington fled reality, you talk about the fact this is the worst year yet and probably the worst is to come. we're suffering from the rule of rulers. can you expand on that a bit? >> well, i think we've abandoned truth in washington. the president has abandoned truth. they're deceitful at what they speak, oftentimes about whether it's the rollout of obamacare or

in any other subject, they're not truthful. people who don't necessarily -- take this vote that's coming up, for example. if, in fact, you don't agree with the president that this is the best way to help these people, then you don't care about people. in other words, there is something wrong with you. and when we move to the area of where people can't trust our words because our words are always based on spin and not on facts, and when we've undermined the institution where we've torn away the ability for people to have a voice as senator reid did this last year, what you're seeing is the unwinding of our institutions that is not healthy for us and certainly not healthy for any republic in terms of its surviveability. i think we're in a precarious time now given the fact that the public, less than 6%, has any confidence in congress. >> sure. confidence and trust. senator tom coburn, we thank you for being with us today from washington.

we'll keep our eye on that vote. >> god bless you. coming up, caught on camera, the terrifying moment when a driver slams into a gas pump and it explodes into flames. and then what does the american dream mean to you? the star of the hit show "the shaws of sunset," she went from refugee to reality show. talk being that next how can you get back pain relief that lasts up to 16 hours? with thermacare heatwraps. thermacare works differently. it's the only wrap with patented heat cells that penetrate deep to relax, soothe, and unlock tight muscles. for up to 16 hours of relief, try thermacare.

she alleges in her suit against the developer that this guy has made death threats to her sister, made racist comments, spit in the direction of the family, called the police, blairs loud music and takes pictures of her guests. >> not only that, they hire add security guard to answer this woman's complaints, just to watch over her. this guy staring down the security guard and then following the security guard for miles, so stalking him! it sounds like a much bigger issue than real estate. >> right. but who is at fault here? is it the people ho rented the apartment, sold the house? >> i would say it's the person causing all the trauma. >> get rid of that guy. >> he's the neighbor. he owns the house across the street. what do you do? >> i guess you tape everything he does, as soon as he breaks the law, you do it. i think if you're the real estate, i don't think you can do anything. >> what's your solution out there? let us know. i say a big grizzly dog, take care of most things. >> really can get aggressive. right now they're suing, saying

outside for even a very short period of time. as low has ten minutes, that's all it takes for someone to get frost bit. we did a experiment. we soaked a t-shirt in water and brought it outside to see how much time it would take for it to freeze. i have scotty here helping me. this shirt froze solid in three minutes earlier. this is actually a.j.'s t-shirt. this is what a.j. wears on the weekend, certified. you can see here, it's frozen solid, in just three minutes. that highlights how dangerously cold these temperatures are across the country. we too have current temperatures that are sub zero in portion of the great lakes. well below across the northeast, great lakes and down into portions of the southeast. bundle up. we have those current wind chill warnings and advisories in place out here stretching as far south as florida. high temperatures not that much better. just in the single digits.

we are going to be looking at temperatures that are a little bit better as we head into the weekend. that's good news. steve, elisabeth, brian, i think my face is actually getting a little stiff. kind of tough to talk. >> it's 3 degrees. it's not as stiff as the t-shirt. there it is. >> come inside and get warm. >> that's what a single woman wants to see, a guy wearing a chick magnet shirt. there is a man who wants to settle down. >> laura ingraham joins us right now from our nation's capitol where laura, where you're sitting, it's 7 degrees. >> well, you know something? i was think being this. i went to school up in new hampshire and grew up in connecticut. i was thinking, gosh, we were a people ho settled the united states with covered wagons. we didn't have any high-tech gear. we were living outside basically. and this is a 24-hour period in the washington, d.c. area.

i know the middle of the country has been under a lock for some time. for 24 hours, it will be a little cold. elisabeth and i are going to go running after the show. i'm flying up to new york. no big deal, elisabeth, right? we get the leg warmers on and get going. come on! this is ridiculous. >> we should be doing this outdoors right now. >> yeah, man! >> i have a question. why is it that when you go to the store, like i went to the incident goo store, the supermarket, i couldn't find toilet paper last night? why is it that everyone buys 100 rolls of toilet paper when there will be 24 hours of cold temperatures? it defies all logic. i don't get it. that's my rant on how we're becoming a nation of wimps on the cold. it's ridiculous. >> since you're heated up about that, i have to ask but the jobless extension battle going on here. we're set to hear from the president later this morning. we're going to keep eyes on that. we hear his focus will be on income equality, among other

struggles. we're set to hear him rage against the machine, but isn't he the machine here? >> yeah. elisabeth, you raised a great point. the railing against washington five years into your administration, it's like news flash. i know you were in hawaii for almost three weeks, but guess what? you are washington. okay? you are washington, d.c this is your administration. you are supposed to work with republicans and democrats. as far as i can tell, the president has stopped the keystone pipeline, 43,000 jobs. he has basically waged a war on coal, which has cost hundreds and thousands of jobs in really struggling communities. he issued about last check, about 141 new rules and regulations from the epa, the department of labor, and the department of energy, which also pushes downward on businesses. all of this happens under his watch and under his guidance. yet it's the republicans' fault that we have really rich people, really poor people and a

shrinking middle class? i don't get it. >> do you think it's an ultimate move just to get off obamacare, he wants to get people angry at something besides health care? >> yeah. i think so, brian. but the good thing about this is that if republicans get their act together and actually have a coherent message, they can really swat this away quickly. on the issue of the middle class, republicans like jeff sessions get up on the senate floor and say, why would we be pushing for immigration amnesty when we know verifiably from the congressional budget office that that will help stagnate wages in the united states further? why would we do that to the american middle class? we can't do that. we want the american dream first for legal immigrants and the american people, and then when we have that straightened out, we'll work on the other folks who also need help. but right now we got to focus on this middle class. that's a great republican message that i think is waiting to be used and exploited. >> let's see what they do. yesterday in the briefing room at the white house, jay carney, who looks like he's trying out

for "duck dynasty" now with that beard that he has -- >> that's not working, by the way. >> we're going to write you down for not a fan. it's interesting. he was asked, so how many people have signed up for obamacare, the young people, the young healthies? he said that the demographic information, not available, which you got to think that might not be true. but none the less, they keep moving the goal post. we heard from kathleen sebelius. they need 7 million. now they're saying, there is no magic number. what are they doing here? >> it's much similar to what they did in the case for economic growth and job creation at the beginning of his administration. remember once we pass stimulus, we're going to bring down unemployment. once we push this green jobs agenda, we're going to further bring down unemployment and stoke growth. as you reported, last year's economic growth was .7%. that gdp is the lowest since the

great depression. that is staggeringly bad. okay? so he can get out there and dance around about how great obamacare is for the people who didn't have insurance, but we know that they have an enormous amount of specific information about our movement through the nsa and the way they log us and log our facebook strikes at the nsa. but they can't give us the information about who signed up? i mean, come on. >> there is a story that i saw on-line yesterday where a bunch of people over the last week have gone in to emergency rooms and because they say they signed up for obamacare and they're like on the bronze plan or something like that, but they don't have the card, the hospitals are saying, well, you can't prove you got coverage, you got to pay for the complete x-ray, which is $500 or you got to pay for a whole night's stay which is $3,000. >> an anesthesiologist friend of mine alerted me to that happening in the dc area.

and remember with the high deductibles in place in many policy, if you can't prove that you can pay in some cases the $4,000 deductible to cover the mri, let's say you get an mri at the beginning of the year, you're not getting that mri. these hospitals are under strict orders to cut costs right now. >> hearing you talk and seeing you now, i'm wondering, do you miss us? it's been a while. >> i do miss you. i've got to get back to that very exotic -- let me look at that couch. you guys have had no spills of coffee, nothing there. you're impeccable. >> right. >> when we came in on the first day, elisabeth immediately scotch guard it. so we're fine. >> i did. i'm sloppy, so i needed to make sure. >> you need a big floppy black dog on the couch, just sitting with you. >> i have one at home. he's dying for a ride. >> let's do it. >> he's a little gassy. >> lovely. do tell. anything else? >> that's gone far enough.

laura has to do her radio show. listen to her all across the country. thank you very much. meanwhile, we've got to do the headlines. it's heather. >> that dog of yours would slobber all over the couch. >> no, we decreased his slobber. >> a driver who killed a man in road rage in pennsylvania. police set to hold a press conference to update us on this search for the person who shot and killed 28-year-old timothy davisson as he was driving along interstate 21. cops believe that the shooter's vehicle is a small pick up truck. we'll watch that one closely. and we're getting the first look now at a man charged with murdering a priest in california. this is gary lee bullock in court as he was being arraigned on murder charges. autopsy results show that reverend eric freed was beaten with a wooden stake and also a metal pipe inside his church. we now know bullock was freed

from jail a few hours before the murder. police do not have a clear motive at this time. a decision banning the sale of guns is unconstitutional. the judge overturned the sale and transfer of firearms. he also ruled the law went too far by banning legal buyers by engaging in legal gun sales. brian, this story is for you. do you want to sing like mariah carey? ♪ ♪ >> all right. brian? all you got to do is pop a pper. researchers at harvard have come up with a drug to improve your pitch. here is how it works. it let's your brain take in new information, like it did when you were a kid. men who took the drug did far better on pitch tests than those who took the placebo.

the nfl has reached a deal with more than 4,000 retired football players who may have suffered brain damage during their time on the field. the question this morning, is it a good deal for the players, and is it a good deal for the game? here to break it down, fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. all right. talk little bit about the concussion settlement. >> it's more than 4,000 former nfl players and they said that the nfl covered up the real history and the real problems in terms of concussions causing serious brain injuries ranging from parkinson's disease to something called cte, which is a traumatickier to the brain, to death. and so the payout is like this: $876 million total. of that 675 million go to the players and families. 75 million for medical tests. $10 million for research fund to look into concussion injuries.

4 million for injuries. and then to the lawyers. what they allege in this lawsuit, which is multi-district litigation, meaning various districts in the federal court, is an astounding and horrible array of acts allegedly committed by the nfl that they knew of the risks for many years with regard to concussions and covered those risks up. >> the nfl was caught red handed? >> that's ha they say. but in a settlement, those things go away. people are paid a resolution, a fair compensation, whether they agree to it in this particular case, and discovery doesn't go forward. so any documents that the nfl had in their possession will not become public in this particular case. >> so how much are players going to wind up getting? >> it's interesting. it's a sliding scale. it depends how long they played professional football, what age they are and whether they've been affected by other things, like strokes or heart disease or other particular issues that might affect their brain.

example, if you develop lou gehrig's disease or alzheimer's or parkinson, you could receive up to $5 million. if you have a death involving brain trauma, $4 million. and then $3 million for dementia. and this has been documented time and time again. these types of diseases, according to some experts, being caused by heavy, hard hits. concussions of the type that they've received in football games. >> i noticed on the small print, those payout amounts were for players under 45. the older they are, the smaller the awards because they've probably figured, well, now you've got old age. >> if a former player is 80, they may receive $100,000 or something like that. we know that there has been a history of suicides by nfl players and mike webster, terry long, ray easterling, and on autopsy, many of these players showed evidence of this cte. what they intend to do with this

settlement, if it's accepted by the players and families, is monitor players going forward. >> going forward, if the bad things happen in the nfl, what about college players? we had the big game last night. >> this is going to be a continuing issue. will the nfl be paying these claims in the future? and will someone concoct a way to go after the ncaa or other officiating organizations with regard to concussion industry in college? we're seeing it now in major league baseball. we're seeing claims also in professional hockey. this will be the wave of the litigation and sports future. more studies need to be done. but for the moment, the nfl says yes, this did cause these injuries and/or deaths in these players p they're willing to pay a billion dollars to resolve the claim. >> interesting stuff. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, she got the flu shot. now she's fallen asleep 30 times

delta airlines retired the last dc 9 airliner from commercial service. it's the oldest passenger plane in the fleet of major u.s. airlines. the first model of the plane took off in 1965. i don't remember it. jim loy, the man in the center of your screen, is an actor. for years he and his wife have faked medical symptoms to help train medical students. students like ryan jones, screen right, are the students who are benefitting from that. when ryan examined jim, he knew something wasn't right. what he found may have indeed saved his life. both men are our guests this morning. >> brian and jim, good morning. what a story. take us back a little bit. jim, we're sure glad you're okay. brian, you're in your third year, were in your third year, about to be a fourth. going to graduate in may. you're performing a learning exam and you actually feel something.

correct? >> exactly. so the story, what information i've been provided for entering the room and his story from his role as an actor fit very well with actually a ruptured abdomen aol aortic aneurysm, which as a student trying to fit, okay, what would the instructors want me to do to get a good grade? i thought, let me do the exam. i feel a expansesive mass that, process of elimination fit extremely well with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. >> did you think it was a decoy? >> well, i remember stepping back and telling him what i felt and what i thought he had and i remember just thinking, why would they allow this man to serve as the actor for this case? i understand that it's great experience for us to get to do the physical exam and learn to detect aneurysms. to my knowledge, i hadn't felt one before. but i thought what could be the risk of us pushing on his

stomach when these walls are stretched and the vessels is a little weak and repeatedly poking him in the stomach? i thought there might be a risk of disturbing the aneurysm. >> i was fine. i had no discomfort at all. i had no indication that i had anything at all. it didn't bother me. it was just another day. >> so you weren't feeling the pain -- jim, you had to be shocked when ryan said that he found something and it was real. >> i was very surprised, yeah. absolutely. i had no idea. no pre-symptoms or anything, no feeling. there it was. >> for me, he never broke character. sew told me that he was having feign when i was push on his stomach. i said, please, can we stop the acting for a moment. can you tell me you're not having pain because the rupture is such an extreme complication. when i talked to the attending afterward and told her what i found, she made no indication that to his knowledge, he didn't have triple a. so i left that day thinking he

must have known. >> jim, he saved your life, right? >> absolutely. 'cause then the attending physician says i might benefit from having an ultrasound. so i went and did that. that's when they found that i really did have a 5.9-centimeter aneurysm. they're normally two, aren't they? >> the diameter? yes. around there. >> the aorta, for the blood flow. >> the odds of acting that out and then it actually being diagnosed and having the time to save you, you're looking to your left and our right is the guy ho saved your life. what do you say to him? >> it's wonderful. i was so pleased that he spoke up. he had the integrity to speak up and say something, you know. then it got passed out and i followed it through. i had the surgery at uva and it

actually saved my life. i'm grateful. thank you. >> you know, from my perspective, i just did what uva trained know do and nothing more. i feel like there are countless medical students around the country who deserve as much or more credit for helping patients. it's an extraordinary coincidence. i'm really glad it happened. couldn't have happened to a kinder person. he and his wife are fantastic people. >> jim, we are so glad that you're safe and in great health thanks to your buddy. we'll give you an honorary doctor in front of your name. >> you should. i agree. >> thank you. be well. >> thank you. coming up, her neighbors were so horrible, she took the case to court. but not against them. she is suing the person who sold her the house. your comments are pouring in on this one. do you want to look like a super model? the best diets are out there. we're going to reveal them to you today. ♪

jerk neighbor came over and started complaining. the reason i say it's a jerk neighbor, jerk neighbor did death threats to a sister, racist comments, spit in the direction of the family, called the police, blairs loud music and takes pictures of guests to harass them, according to her lawsuit. >> the question is, did she knowingly conceal it from cindy phoenix? >> the developer. >> yeah. so raymond roberts says, it is the responsibility of the buyer to check the area beforehand, knocking on doors and asking people about issues. what do you say? excuse me, are you a jerk? are you going to get on my nerves? >> no, but ask the other neighbors. >> they're going to turn everybody in. you don't want to be near hasselbeck. they're loud and that's four wheel, the quad that her husband has, out of control. >> it is. >> tim says, the developer wouldn't legally be able to say anything because of fair housing laws. i think that's right. excellent point. >> jim says, that's life. you can't pick your neighbors.

pakistan? >> really it's just the conflict that's going on over there and the unrest. we have a lot of military employees and former military veterans working for us and they had a lot of concern that there is potential that our product would get in the wrong hands and be used against our troops. >> so mike, was that a hard decision? >> of course it's a hard decision. $15 million, that's a lot of money. it could change a small company for a long time. it was a hard decision, but we feel it was the right decision. >> the reaction from the government, nick? >> from the u.s. military, it's been pretty great. lot of the guys are pretty excited and happy that we would remember them and want to help protect them over there. >> what about the other side of it, mike, the client? pakistan, were they ticked off? >> our agent that we were working with, yes, he's a little

upset as far as the pakinstani government. we have not heard from them. >> and in your business as a gun manufacturer, you got to be concerned where the gun also end up. you still do business with saudi arabia and the uae. do you do others with the middle east? >> really that's the two main areas that we're working with right now. but we got some activity going on in other areas that we're going to be supplying service in the next future, this year. >> interesting, 'cause we have these arms deals with pakistan. government to government. but when it comes to private industry, you can make your own decision. so what is the mental that we should take from this when it comes to american industry and profit, what do you think, mike? >> the message is simply was a company stance. we weren't trying for all this. we weren't hoping to gain a whole bunch of media attention from it. basically it was just our company's stance and we were sticking with our founding principles and that was to keep

the american troops safe. that's all the decisionwas abou. >> right. it's a country that is overrun with terror activities and they're not going to be using your guns to kill our guys. thanks to your courageous decision. nick young, mike davis, thanks so much. >> thank you. next up, with 12 minutes remaining, they sacrificed their lives for this country. but the government keeps giving our vets the cold shoulder. up next, how you can help our heros at home of the first let's check in with bill hem who are is coming up on his show at the top of the hour with martha. >> good morning. we will not forget this one. how long is it going to last? we'll tell you about that. we're looking for your best cold weather pictures. get ready, send them in. we'll use a lot of them on the air today. al-qaeda has taken control of two towns in iraq after a tremendous american sacrifice in both places. senator john mccain on what we should do there now. see you in ten minutes too big.
