presentation of fox news. a fox urgent terror threat against the upcoming winter olympics in sochi, russia. an event that you know is less than a month away that is going to draw thousands of athletes, visitors, as well as countless other people from around the globe. here's what we're watching. men claiming to be islamist militants posted a video to a chechen extremist website promising, quote, a new surprise package for olympic spectators. they vow tourists and locals in sochi will not be safe. fox news is confirming the intelligence community is working to assess whether this threat is credible. russian president vladimir putin's promises to do whatever it takes to keep the olympics

secure, fox news intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is standing by, working the story as we speak. she'll join us for the latest moments from now. also tonight on the fox report -- the white house, putting the brakes on yet another key obamacare provision. and it has to do with people who get their health insurance at work. tonight, see who stepped up to delay the affordable care act again. also, the fbi joining the search for a missing wall street journal reporter. they're looking at activity he had on his computer, on his phone, and at work. his family holding out hope. days ago, he went for a walk near his new jersey home. fox reports on the latest on the efforts to find the journalist who has not been seen since. and a very crowded church.

as clergy deal with long lines of parents and their newborns for a mass blessing. so we begin with a new good lay in the rollout of the affordable care act/obamacare. the president's signature law. this time, the snafu deals with a mandate which requires companies treat all employees equally. no special packages offered for different levels within a company. this is just the latest in what has been a series of temporary suspensions coming from the obama administration when it comes to the law's implementation. as you probably already know, the white house has suspended the employer mandate until next year, and enrollment deadlines have already been pushed back, thanks all of the glitches which virtually crippled the federal exchange website following its launch the first time in october. peter deucy has the latest from washington. peter? >> the latest delay associated with the affordable care act is to a provision that levels the

playing field and requires business owns to offer the same benefits to people who push a broom they offer to employees with a seat in the board room. it was a provision that was shortly to kick in shortly after the aca was signed into law, but it's been delayed add least until next year because the irs still hasn't figured out who is considered highly compensated, and they can't figure out why the white house keeps changing the law on its own. >> here once again, we have a administration one more time without consulting congress, without changes, is altering obamacare, the affordable care act. >> here's how the treasury department explains the latest delay. >> thd the affordable care act, for the first time, all group health plans will be prohibited from offering coverage only to their highest paid employee. they're working on rules that will implement this rule of the aca, taking into account public

comments that were previously requested. just 71 days from now, open enrollment ends, but the wall street journal is reporting most of the 2.2 million sign-up so far are enrolling because their other plans were canceled and only 11% were uninsured before the aca kicks in. >> new reaction coming in to a another controversy putting pressure on the obama administration. today, lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle were on the sunday talk shows sounding off on president obama's plan to reform the nsa spying program. the proposed changes include additional court approval, a nongovernment agency holding metadata and limiting the extension of data collection. today, michigan republican congressman mike rogers who heads the house intelligence committee said he does like the fact the president defended the nsa's actions as legal. >> first, the speech was good in the sense that it said, listen, no abuses. legal program. not a domestic spying operation

that you have seen and that rhetoric has occurred over the last year. i think he put that to bed. that's important. >> but, congress is far from sold on the president's changes. democrat senator patrick leahy of vermont, who heads up the senate judiciary committee said work would continue in the senate on bills to collect and store data on americans. and coming up inside the fox report, we'll take a closer look at the political fallout from the national security and personal privacy decisions which virtually affect every single american. the fox news inside report. >> a fox news weather alert on a new round of arctic air sweeping into the thagz. millions of people again will experience dangerous windchills and single-digit temperatures over the next few days. we have more on the extreme conditions. janice. >> the continuous winter, harris, yes, across the great lakes, the midwest, ohio valley, and northeast, these are your day time highs on monday as the

cold arctic air continues to sink southward, single digits for a lot of cities with windchills below zero, and that's going to continue to push southward and eastward wednesday and thursday. friday, things will start to moderate a little bit, but a lot of folks are going, when is this going to end? will it be as cold as it was in early january? almost, but not quite. look at the temperature on january 9th for international falls, minus 31. minus 26 for tuesday, and again, these are air temperatures. not windchill, so dangerously cold. minneapolis, minus 14 on tuesday. green bay, minus 8. zero in chicago. and again, that's just the air temperature. minneapolis, oh, my goodness. look at you, still winter time. wednesday, thursday, single digits. minus 11 overnight on thursday. so again, people are going to be urged to take precautions and stay inside as much as possible. across the west, we still have that ridge in place. very dry conditions across southern california. warm and breezy.

those santa ana winds are going to kick up early this week, and we remain in this trough over the great lakes and middle east with these clipper systems that could dump a couple inches of snow, gusty winds, and the big story across the west is the extreme drought for california. we'll continue to monitor it. back to you. >> thank you. some tenls moments in one wisconsin town following a massive train derailment. take a look alt these pictures. union pacific locomotives hauled 135 cars loaded with coal. it was doing so when 19 cars jumped the tracks. emergency responders said nobody was hurt and there was no release of any hazardous material. we're told the tracks, though, will likely remain closed until at least tomorrow morning while the wreckage is cleared. the train was heading from wyoming to chicago, and they're now investigating why this happened. so right now, we're continuing to work the breaking news this hour. terrorists vowing to, quote, a

surprise package at the winter olympics in russia. a place where americans will gather. and others from around the world, just weeks from now for the games. how intelligence agencyerize now responding to the new threat. and he went out for a walk and he never came back. the search intensifying to find a wall street journal reporter. >> we're devastated. we're desperate. and we're heartbroken. and in agony. we just want david back home.

fox urgent. on the latest details on the terrorist threat against the upcoming sochi olympics. men claiming to be jihadists have posted this video. we have still pictures tromit. they put it up on a chechen website. they say no one attending the olympic games will be safe until

russian troops leave the nearby clo caucus region. the guys who claimed the responsibility for a recent attack on a train station. the u.s. state department had issued a travel warning for americans heading to the games. kathericatherine herridge has b working the story. she joins us now by phone. is this threat real? >> harris, thank you, the u.s. intelligence community is aware of the video posted to a well known and considered credible islamist website, and we were told they are assessing the credibility of that threat. the two young men are alleged to be the suicide bombers who attacked the train and trolley station last month in volgograd. that's 400 miles southeast of socha. what the young men promise in the video is more of the same as the olympic games. earlier today, on the talk shows, lawmakers said there thd

could be real jeopardy in sochi. >> i would not go and i don't think i would send my family. i don't know how you put a percentage on t but it's such a rich target in an area of the world that has, you know, they have almost broadcast that they're going to try to do something there. >> there is information that we think is valuable about organizational activities that we fairly confident that the russians track, that they're just not sharing with our security forces. this has been a tug of war. this shouldn't be as difficult. >> what the congress says has real weight because there was a communications breakdown between the russian intelligence services and the fbi over the tsarnaev brothers, specifically the travel of the elder brother, tamerlan, to the same region where you find sochi prior to the boston bombing and whether it because in the region that he got the training that allowed him to build the pressure cooker

bombs because the detonators in the devices are inconsistent with the bomb making manuals you find on the internet. >> you have been able to gather such detail to drill it down for us. if people are getting ready to travel, what do they need to know? >> what they need to know is that the u.s. intelligence community is very involved and very invested in preventing any kind of security incident in the region. we also know that they are drilling down on whether the leader of one of these chechen islamist groups is in fact dead. there have been multiple reports in the last few days that he has been killed. likely by the russian security services, but we have been down this road before, and he has remained alive. it's also clear that the russians are engaging in what i could waould call a cleaning of the house, taking out any threats they perceive as credible leading up to the games, and earlier, the russian

president spoke about this to abc news. >> translator: the job of the olympic host is to insure security of the visitors to the olympics. we will do whatever it takes. >> a final note is that the fbi is sending dozens of agents to sochi to help with the security arrangements there. this is confirmed by the new fbi director, james thome, in a briefing for reporters about a week ago. what he emphasized at the briefing is ultimately, it is the responsibility of the russian government, not the u.s. >> you know, it's so interesting about what you say, that they're kind of cleaning house, if you will, the russian government over there, in terms of pushing out threats that they already knew they had on the landscape. this just gives them more, inyou will, intel and ammo to do that. many americans since the bombing in boston, for the first time, hearing of some of these groups, and may not be aware of how dangerous it is over there. dagestan, which is nearby, was hit by terrorists just what, 48,

72 hours ago? >> tourism is very real in that part of russia, and this group was fingered in this connection to tamerlan tsarnaev, and it's not publicly known whether this was where he got the training to put together those two very viable pressure cooker bombs in boston. this is a very active region, but the russians, if you will, based on my experience, have a take no prisoners approach, and this is what we have seen in the weeks leading up to the olympics. but the caveat, if you will, is what we heard from congressman rogers, which is that the russians in his opinion are not fully sharing the information that they have, and this, unfortunately, seems very reminiscent of the situation we had over the boston bombers, where many people faulted the fbi for not taking the russians' claims that he was a follower of radical islam seriousliness. >> that they might not share

after that, very frightening. thank you very much. the fbi has now joined the search for the wall street reporter who is missing, david bird. he vanished january 11th while taking a walk near his home in new jersey. his family says time is a huge factor in this. he is a liver transplant recipient and he needs medication. so far, no signs of foul play in his disappearance, but investigators are beginning to look at the technology he used every day in their search for answers. brian picks up the story from our new york newsroom. >> well, since david bird went missing eight days ago, investigators have searched through every piece of paper, cell phone, laptop, desktop at his home andophorous, and so far, they have found now klee clues to lead them to where he is. the 55-year-old is described by husband family as witty, athletic, funny. a boy scout leader, and an avid

hiker, which is why his disappearance in new jersey is such a mystery. david and his wife were putting away christmas decorations where at about 4:30 p.m., he put on his red jacket and told his wife he wanted to take a quick walk before it rained. two hours later, no sign of david. he has been missing ever since. hundreds of volunteers have been taking part in a round the clock search for david. police using helicopters, horses, atvs and divers in the passaic river. the search is concentrated on a wooded area and other nearby routes he was known to walk or hike. people have been known to get lost in the area. >> we suspect that the individual may have went out on the ice at some point at night and may have fell through. so using the camera, we probed through to see if he's lodged underneath it. >> david, a father of two children, ages 12 and 15, did not take his cell phone or his medications with him when he left. >> we're devastated.

we're desperate, and we're heart broken, and agony. we just want david back home. >> police have ended today's search and will resume tomorrow. if you information, call 1908-647-1800. >> and we have put that at the bottom of the screen for our viewers. thank you. >> they suffered physical and emotional scars serving our great nation. some now finding themselves without a home or job when they come back from the battlefield. now, a new program that's trying to change that. and well, it's an old saying. i think it was originally from a james bond movie. where there's smoke there's fire. this was a big one. and the awful smell that filled the air as it was burning. also, some bandits on the loose after pulling off a huge jewelry heist. key word here, sledge hammer.

participating in a pilot program. >> i know that skillset that veterans have. i know they can do this job. >> that's why arizona state parks executive director, an air force veteran who flew special ops wanted to help homeless veterans like garcia. >> i'm trying to give these guys a skill, let them get their life back together, put something on your resume other than kicking in doors or driving tanks. >> he paid the vets $12 an hour and gives a fema trailer for them to live in. so far, garcia has saved money, lost 25 pounds, and even reconnected with his family. >> emotionally, spearchy, mentally, helped me out a lot. like i said, i'm grateful to be here. it's an awesome opportunity and a great experience. >> if garcia and the other veterans are able to stay out of trouble and do a good job, they may be able to become permanent park rangers and garcia says he wants to do just that. >> boy, it is a crime that they have to struggle so much after

single american on every single date. >> the president wants input from the attorney general and intelligence officials on the best way to store the phone data. meantime, there are continued allegations edward snowden had help from russia in scooping up the secret documents from the nsa. the chairman of the house intelligence committee says some of the things snowden did were beyond his technical capabilities and he suggested the russian security service could have played a role. >> i believe there's questions to be answered there. i don't think it was a gee wiz luck that he ended up in moscow under the handling of the fsb. >> of course, it was snowden's disclosure of the secret nsa documents that prompted the current debate and the president's comments friday. >> steve, thank you. critics, some sitting right across from me, say president obama just punted his job of making changes to the nsa to

congress. and for more, and a round-up of politics making news to get you ready for the new week, let's bring in our political insiders. fox news stars. and by the way, you can join in on the conversation on twitter, as many of you have have, @harrisfaulkner. john, pat caddell, former pollster for jimmy carter, doug shown, former pollster for bill clinton and fox news contributor as well. gentlemen, good to see you. doug, i'm going to start with you. why punt this to congress? >> the president wanted to do two things. first, make it clear how he wanted to reform the nsa, a few cosmetic and small changes, but second, punt to congress, harris, so if and when, and it's more likely when, they don't do anything substantive, he can blame them conveniently in an election year. >> and john? >> from their point of view, but the quig question to me is when have we ever seen government

give up power? never does, and the nsa is not giving up this power. i don't think our elected representatives, president, senate, house, i don't think they even know what the nsa does. >> now, to you, john, what will republicans do when it gets to congress? you think nothing? >> well, they're split. the traditional establishment republicans like this plan, and the growing, not just tea party, but the sort of isolationist rand paul type people, they don't like it. they're libertarian. they don't like it. the young don't like it. >> who wins the argument in your party? >> the establishment for the time being, because they run the congress, they run the house. >> the president made that speech this week on eform and essentially said what you said, that you know what, we're sorry. we want to fix it, but we're going to keep doing it. pat, what does this say about the american people, that there really hasn't been an outcry about freedoms and privacy.

>> there is an outcry, but we don't hear it because the mainstream media doesn't pay attention to it. in washington, the division john talked about, not only in the republican party, but in the democrat party, remember, there was almost a vote in congress to basically defang the nsa, which failed when many members wouldn't vote for it. the fact is, young people particularly have done great damage. the president suffered greatly and his party has. this is an effort to try to get this off. the real problem is that the political establishment, the political elite likes the power. the american people don't, but the elite and the elite media don't listen to what the american people want. >> specifically those with these reforms, did the president do anything that really changes all that much? is my read on it wrong, that they're just going to continue to do it? >> they're going to continue to do it, and they made some cosmetic things. >> let me talk to you about the idea of privatizing all of the stuff they have from our phone records and everything else.

can i just say a couple things? target niemaeiman marcus. do we necessarily want our personal information privatized by the government? >> no, we don't, and the other thing is companies who would presumably privatize it, don't want to actually do it, because it puts a terrible burden on them. and bottom line, given what's going on and the revelations about snowden being influenced by the fsb in russia, the most recent reporting on neiman marcus in particular, says it was russian organized crime. this is ominous for our country, harris. >> the problem with this is, understand something, big brother and big data together being married or allies, and it's not to the benefit of the american people. this is what bothers people, both of these, they work hand in hand, which they do, to do even more outsourcing of them, i'm not sure what that solves. >> what's interesting, i'm starting to hear echoes of what you brought up, that part of the

republican party, that libertarian arm, even among the democrats, is there room now, real room for a third party? we talk about it sometimes. but where's the reality there? >> there is room, philosophically. we know that last week, we used the number with you, 46% of people say they're independent now, right? 22% are republican, 29% of democrats. so the biggest number ever are in neither party. that's a beginning, and this type of issue is part of the reason. and the irs abuse is another one. >> john, the only thing those two parties agree on is there shouldn't be a third party, and that's the sole reason it hasn't happened. >> that's called self-preservation, i believe. so, senator kay hagan of north carolina skipped the president's speech at north carolina state university. important this week? >> huge. >> why? >> because it shows that democrats running for re-election don't want to be near obama, and specifically obamacare. this thing is dragging them down. we haven't been talking about it

much in the news the last couple weeks because of all the other stories. >> well, we're going to talk about it now. >> but obamacare is ratting out the democrats for novem they're worried about it. >> we just saw another delay, and shock and surprise, who is pishing for it? the irs, they said you didn't give us guidelines on how to put forth some of the things this requires. we have to put a delay on what big employers do and how they hand it out to their employees. >> obamacare is literally an absolute crisis for the democrats. 35% support it. 62% oppose it now. bottom line, the administration is seeing that this could cost them control of the senate. the congress could go republican because of obamacare, as pat was saying compellingly, the american people are angry. they don't want big government. they want the burden off their back. >> look, the thing we saw this week, in gallup, the big government continues to be the

biggest issue. the threat of big government corruption, that's never happened. we had it now -- >> what's driving it? >> what's driving it is scandal, obamacare, the shutdown, all of these things. the threat more people believe that the government is a threat to them than ever. and you know, obamacare has not helped. democrats are only advantaged by republicans' inability to have a narrative. boehner promises there will be a plan, but in the red states where democratic senators are up for re-election, it is now, they are all taking big hits. and it is now becoming problematic. >> all right, you guys, doug and pat, are pollsters. you were congressmen in new york. so no doubt, polls are important, messaging. the white house has to see this, right? they have to see that there's a mood, if you will, in the nation of at least concern. john, i ask you, why does this keep happening? the big matters with this white house don't come with instructions? the irs can't go forth with parts of obamacare because they

didn't get the instructions. the nsa stuff, not so clear. we'll publicity nt it to congre. >> first of all, from the president on down, they're incompetent. they don't run anything else, other than his re-election campaign. >> are you saying that just because you're a republican? >> no, no. this is not run well. >> democrats didn't stop you at the table. >> they probably agree with me. >> the dirty little secret, harris, pat is right, republicans are down to 22%. they're perceived as even more incompetent than a failing democratic party. >> the white house wants to distract attention from obamacare. it looks for every issue. the republicans, their thinking is it's going to fall in their laps when no one seems to be interested in what really upsets people, the country and getting something done other than how it serves their partzle political advantage. >> on that point, let me quote pat, who didn't bring it up as well as he has in the past, which is republicans wanted to stop obamacare, right?

the dirty little secret of it was to go after that irs scandal all last summer and fall and go after it because the public was on the republicans' side on this deal, that the irs, we don't trust them. and they're being used for political purposes. destroy them, and they can't work obamacare. >> there was an article in the journal this weekend that the irs has a new proposed ruling that really is still aimed at conservatives and republicans, but guess who else is for that? the republican establishment. they, too, are for it. this is -- the question you asked, harris, about the irs handling, the real question of debate should have been, what is the irs doing anyway, involved in running health care? they shouldn't have been in the first place. but the republicans refuse to make that an issue, and it is all, so big brother and big government, there you are. >> all right, pat, let's talk a little if we can, and i say this to you because you have done some homework on this today.

the benghazi report from the senate intelligence committee blaming the state department. you saw something today that you say is a trend among democrats and it's troubling. what is it in. >> a trend among the media, particularly. look, that was a committee run by democrats that was highly critical of the state department and raised serious questions, although they chose not to mention hillary clinton by name. but i watched the shows this morning, and i watched mainstream political reporters, the washington post, and meet the press, saying, oh, the american people don't care about it, only some republicans. then on howard kurtz on this network, and cnn, one of the great benghazi deniers, they were saying nobody cares about it, in the face of the fact there is polling data that shows well over 60% of americans believe there was a cover-up, and two thirds want a special committee, but we don't pay attention because it doesn't fit into a narrative. >> hold on, we're going to take

asked, in the gates book, he attacks the military, and almost calls them, i think, doug, you said -- here is the mastermind that night, embedding the story. not asked about it because they have decided to move beyond. we have people who have never been talked -- the american people want the truth. it's not about who gets served. her political future, the republicans' political future, the american people deserve the truth. this is supposed to be a democracy, a republic. >> i think we have one last chance on benghazi. now that the senate intelligence committee made some progress hire, it's up to the speaker to cut it out now and listen to the 179 republican congressmen who have asked for a 90-day select committee investigation. frank wolf, congressman from virginia, has this bill in there. that a supermajority of the majority, asking the speaker to appoint a committee. >> not going to happen.

>> why not? >> because john boehner has made a decision not to do it. as we sit here today, the democrats are effectively demonizing chris christie, destroying him, and bottom line, far more serious scandals, nsa, benghazi, all of those, and they're not on the radar screen. not withstanding how serious they are. >> you go why? because democrats go for the jugular. republicans run from a shadow. it's really pathetic. >> wow, that is -- >> because they're part of the same political game. john boehner's performance is embarrassing. who would want to be a republican? my god. >> let's remind everybody, benghazi, libya, september 11th, 2011, four americans killed at our diplomatic outpost, and lots of questions about what triggered that. was it organized, was it al qaeda? so on and so forth. now is our best chance to find out. you say republicans won't push forward? >> john boehner won't. >> republicans want to. i don't know why they don't go to him and say, come on.

we're in the majority. >> right. >> i want to get on the record with something breaking. the united nations is announcing iran will be invited to attend the syria peace talks in geneva this week. the civil war in syria has been raging for three years, claiming more than 100,000 lives, way north of that now. more than 2 million others forced to leave their homes. a lot of refugees. the u.n. secretary-general saying iran understands the purpose of the peace talks and is able to establish a transitional government within syria. is this the kind of thing that has people saying, was there a side deal within the united states and iran and the nukes? >> raises the question of whether there was a side deal. the iranians have been empowered. they are now in a position where they are propping up and supporting the war on bashar al assad. this emboldens and strengthens his hand. it increases the likelihood of more terrorism in the middle east and makes more likely that nothing will come of the peace deal. >> hold on one second. pat, i'm going to get your

thought when we come back. real quickly, iran and the nukes deal. that takes effect tomorrow. >> right. >> and all of a sudden, we're starting to get dribs and drabs of what was really in the deal. it was almost like you had to pass it, sign it to find out what was in it. stay close. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] you don't have to be a golf pro to walk like one. ♪ when you walk 10,000 steps a day, its the same as walking a professional golf course. humana, proud supporter of health and well-being. ladies... kitchen counselor. it's likely your detergent. cascade platinum's triple cleaning formula delivers brilliant shine finish gel can't beat. it even helps keep your dishwasher sparkling. cascade platinum is cascade's best.

their money situation. but it gives us an indication. are you better or worse off financially now than you were a year ago. that would have been the beginning of the second term of this president when a lot of the promises were being made, jobs were being promised. 42% say they feel like they're worse off. john? >> well, that combined with the obamacare effect we talked about earlier is why the republicans should, if they're smart, and that's a big if, win back the senate and keep the house this year. there's dissatisfaction over those numbers. now, pat -- >> lack of jobs. >> no one talks about what we're going to do to create private sector jobs. >> let me get in a couple tweets. harris insiders, i feel sour. a president that can't tell the truth and a stagnant economy, lost the middle east, that's enough. people feeling over obamacare they were not told the truth about certain things. they could keep their plans when they couldn't, and so on and so forth. >> it's become an article of faith that the political

savviness to the american people whenever they feel like it, and you don't want the american people to figure out they're not told the truth. you see the number, you looked at in gallup, this is the first time in several years more people have felt the economy is getting worse despite all of the political classes in washington, all of the chatter saying it's better. and look at the stock market. it's booming because they're taking care of assets for the rich, but ordinary suffering. >> what the tweet says is the economy for most americans is bad. the sense of impotence overseas is clear, and the government isn't working. that's why dissatisfaction is as profound as it is. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we're back in a moment. mine was earned orbiti the moon in 1971.
