responded. i'm patty ann brown. "fox and friends" starts right now. good morning. it's monday, january 20th. i'm elizabeth hasse. was it just another speech without action? we report, you decide. >> meanwhile, new details this morning revealing edward snowden may have had some help from russia. >> i don't think it was a gee whiz event look that he ended up in moscow. >> are national security secrets in enemy hands? we're going to talk about that. and the stage is set for super bowl xlviii. broncos, seahawks, and the mouth. >> well, i'm the best one in the game. when you try me like crabtree, that's the result you going to get. don't you ever talk about me.

>> all right. i'm not sure if that was wwe or the end of the game. so what got richard sherman so ticked off? it wasn't erin andrews. "fox and friends" starts now. >> it's time for "fox and friends friends." >> yeah, that was quite a headline from that guy. out of nowhere. i think he'd been looking at twitter and facebook and people were bugging him. >> seemed more intense in the morning than right after the game. >> here's the scenario. for the first time really all game, you have the san francisco 49ers on the march down to the 28 yard line. colin kaepernick decides to go to michael crabtree. i thought a top receiver. richard cher mosherman, i guesst think so. he makes a brilliant play. i thought it was faded by those comments. but he'll be the number one attraction on the seattle side when the super bowl comes here. >> he had some left over

adrenaline. by the way, welcome back. how was your weekend? >> it was dandy. thank you very much. good to be back and start things off. something new today. we have heather childers. >> good to be here. a lot of news developing overnight to tell you about. let's start with iran. while you were sleeping, iran stopped its most sensitive uranium enrichment program, which is just steps away from bomb-making capabilities. it's part of a deal made with six world powers last november. now, in exchange, some economic sanctions will be lifted. this will last six months as negotiators try to hammer out a permanent deal. and look at this. brand new video for you showing the moment that a magnitude-6.3 earthquake rocks the city of wellington, new jersey. >> thought we might have a bit of an earthquake going on. a very big earthquake, in fact. got a very large earthquake

going here. >> and i did not mean new jersey. that did not happen there. i meant new zealand. now, the video taken in the middle of a race at a dog track over at the wellington airport. but look at this. a giant stat you there of an eagle, it came crashing down from the ceiling, sending travelers running for cover. but no one was hurt. a new terror threat now puts the winter olympics in the cross hairs. this as two terrorists release a new video. it is believed they are the homicide bombers responsible for attacks that left 34 people dead in russia last month. in the video, they vow to murder tourists in sochi. u.s. intelligence agencies say they're working to keep americans safe. >> this has been a tug of war. people are pushing and pulling on this. this shouldn't be this difficult. it is in everyone's interest, including the russians, to share that information with our security forces so that we can make sure that our activities

are -- athletes and the participants are safe when they go to the games. >> the fbi is sending 40 agents to the game. that's half the number sent to past olympics, by the way. the reason, long standing security rivalries with russia. and today we celebrate the life of dr. martin luther king jr. as the nation reflects on his legacy, a new interview is surfacing, shedding some light on that famous phone call that jfk made to dr. king's wife more than 50 years ago. it is believed the president's phone call expressing concern over dr. king's arrest in october of 1960 helped get him released from jail. although, appreciative, dr. king wasn't so quick to credit the kennedys alone, saying, quote, the kennedy family did have some part in the release, but i must make it clear that many other forces worked to bring it about also. the tape, found in an attic in tennessee. those are your headlines. back to you. >> all right, heather.

>> and the earthquake was -- >> to clarify, not in new jersey. >> exactly. >> you know what, as it turns out, it was in new zealand. although, on msnbc, they're now blaming chris christie. >> thank you, heather. >> the president of the united states had a big speech 43 minutes long on friday. interesting timing. he's been taking the heat over this obamacare. was this just his opportunity to distract america? hey, stop looking at obamacare. let's talk about spying. yeah, we're doing a lot of it, and i'm going to fix it. he was trying his best to appease all the parties. but in the end, maybe he didn't really do much of anything. >> no, he actually on friday, as you mentioned, on the heels of the gates book and about mounting accusations about security issues with obamacare, he laid out a series of changes he'd like to make in terms of the nsa spying program, putting in some hurdles, as some think,

and check points as others believe in terms of gathering information, saying you can no longer look beyond two points of reference or relation -- >> two hops. >> right. two hops from a terrorist threat in terms of investigating. and really, it's causing a lot of uncertainty. the main thing is moving all that information from the government's control to a possible third party. republicans and democrats alike having issue with the uncertainty and have concerns. dan fe diane feinstein is a little leery of the president's plan >> i think that's a very difficult thing because the whole purpose of this program is to provide instantaneous information to be able to disrupt any plot that may be taking place. you know, i think a lot of the privacy people perhaps don't understand that we still occupy the role of the great satan. new bombs are being devised.

new terrorists are emerging, new groups. actually, a new level of viciousness. and i think we need to be prepared. >> and listen, that's a democrat from california. she's not exactly running to the -- has not exactly been attacking the president over the last five years. i thought there was a lot to like about the president's speech. i thought it was a real effort to appease both sides. what i really am concerned about is his next move. so far, he praised the nsa, and those people worked extremely hard. they've been vilified over the past six months especially, even by some of those on the right. what i fear is his next move will be executive action. executive action after executive action. in the end, maybe the nsa will have their hands so tied, they will not be able to be effective. he said, listen, i have a lot of critics for saying this, but if

we had this stuff in place before 9/11, there would not have been a 9/11. so don't handcuff these men and women because in the end, if something happens here, you'll be the first one to blame them. why are we spending all this money? why are these bombs still happening? why are these threats still being followed through? >> i don't think you have to worry about executive action. the ball really now is in the hands of congress. >> the attorney general. >> it'll be up to -- well, he has been asked to implement his new plan. among the problems with the president's plan is, okay, a third party is more reliable than the nsa. who's to trust them? why would the privacy be more protected if they put it some place else out other than the giant nsa -- >> yeah, absolutely. >> the other worry is if it's a third party, let's hope it's not the same people that did the target security. >> exactly. >> just nuts. >> i mean, the government -- one thing the government has done, i don't really want to outsource the cia work to any banking

system or walmart system. you've got to be very careful of people saying, i want to save my political backside but in the end to put ourselves back against the corner when it comes to our intelligence. . >> also, i think we're at a period right now, according to many, in terms of who's doing the outsourcing to whom. we've already experiencing something and have been scarred by the outsourcing when it comes to obamacare. so you're looking at thinker decision making. this is all coming into play again. remember edward snowden and the leaks got everybody's feathers ruffled, rightly so. now there's new questions as to whether or not he acted alone. representative mike rodgers, he said, you know, russia may have had a role. >> i think the russians helped ed snowden. >> i believe there's questions to be answered there. i don't think it was a gee whiz look event that he landed up in

moscow in the hands of the fsb. we have questions we have to answer, but as somebody who used to do investigations, some of the things we're finding we would call clues that certainly would indicate to me he had help and he stole things that had nothing to do with privacy. >> edward snowden was so concerned about our privacy, he wanted to bring this forward and risk his personal safety to go to hong kong, china, and then russia. now all the leaks coming out are about our national interests. he's cost us billions upon billions of dollars and compromised security operations to international enemies like russia, like china, like venezuela. and in many cases, outlaw nations throughout the middle east. it doesn't seem like the work of a 28-year-old, 29 now, who's going into the system with this intent of -- and it's too sf sophisticated for a guy like me, to scrape out that system and all the sudden go. he scraped it over a number of years, took a course in india to

derail us. >> the thing about edward snowden, he did bring all this to life. what it has done for a lot of americans is you now know the federal government is keeping an eye on all of us. they're tracking our phone calls, where we go with our phones. it's all being stored. they say we're not going to tap into it unless you do something wrong. just the fact the government is tracking us has a lot of people upset. >> all right. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead on this show, it's the best story you'll hear all day. you have a police officer seeing a kid playing football by himself, and he does something about it. how this moment changed that boy's life forever. >> and pot? no more dangerous than booze? that's according to the president of the united states. it's a brand new interview sparking debate this morning. >> sparking. today we're going to play a little game which 4g lte map

has the most coverage? this isn't real difficult... pretty obvious to me. i'm going to have to verizon. verin. that's right! the choi is obvious. verizon's superfast 4g lte network is over three times larger than any other 4g lteetwork. now get one, two, or even three-hundred dollars off a new smartphone depending on the smartphone you trade in on america's largest, most reliable 4g lte network. that's powerful. verizon. now get a free lg g2, with a 13-megapixel camera. i worked a patrol unit for 17 years in the city of baltimore. when i first started experiencing the pain, it's, it's hard to describe because you have a numbness... but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot.

well, a new report finding only 11% of those enrolled in obamacare were previously uninsured. so how will the president's signature law last if the uninsured aren't signing up? and how will this hurt the taxpayer? here to way in, author of "beating obama care in 2014." you are one of the only people to read the entire law. former lieutenant governor of new york. the book is incredible. not only did you read that, you wrote this. but your concern is this was designed to find those who didn't have insurance and help them out and get them -- >> that's not what's happening. unfortunately, it appears as if this law is going to hurt at least twice as many people as it helps. from the preliminary data, what we see is that most of the people who are signing up have

insurance, and obamacare forced them to lose it. either they've had individual plans, which were canceled, about 6 million cancellations so far, or they're part of the coming wave of people who have on-the-job coverage. small-group coverage provided by their employer. there are about 60 million people altogether with that. and they're going to lose it in the coming months because one of the obamacare regulations says employers who provide health insurance have to provide the one size fits all, washington knows best plan, which costs about twice as much as what employers are currently offering. employers look at that and say, i'm going to drop coverage and send my employees and their families to the health exchanges instead. a very raw deal. so unfortunately, those people -- and if you're one of those 60 million people who gets on-the-job small group coverage, be aware you should talk to your human resources department or

someone who works at your company and say, am i going to be dumped in the coming months? that's what's happening to millions of people. >> my head is spinning so much. first of all, my apologies. i pronounced your name wrong. you know, it concerns me because does an employer have to, are they obligated -- >> no, there's no employer mandate. of course they should tell them. they should give them a heads up. once you lose insurance, if you go to the exchanges, as i said, it's a very raw deal. people who get on-the-job coverage in general pay $999 a year toward their insurance. it's free tax dollars. and they have a deductible of about $1,135. when you get to the exchange, you're going to pay much more. you're going to pay with after-tax dollars, and you're going to have a deductible that's two or three time what is you're used to. for all of that extra money, you're not going to be able to use the doctors and hospitals you currently prefer. so that's why so many people are justifiably worried about what's

coming in the coming months. >> of course. they see it coming in on the kitchen table and the bills that are going to be mounting to ones they were told would not be expected. we've heard the stories here, and we're telling it here on fox news. betsy, thank you so much. a, for reading that. we'll see you soon. coming up, the president getting in on the pot debate. not only admitting he smoked as a kid but even comparing it to cigarettes. and world war ii vet fighting to keep his grocery store. the government wants to grab it using taxpayers' money. he's here with his story coming up next.

whitney, along with his sons chip and scott, are battling village officials for the store that frank bought more than 20 years ago. they join us live right now. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> okay. so it all comes down to sandy. sandy did a lot of damage to your store. they say that over half of it was destroyed. so you need, what, special permits, special authorization from the city to continue? >> yes. >> right. what they're claiming is that it's actually out of their hands and it's really a fema issue. but in reality, this was their initial intention. we have since foiled through the freedom of information law, foiled their documents, their engineering reports. after our own engineering reports stated we had nowhere near 50% damage, we got their reports and said their reports said the same thing. >> frank, why wouldn't they want you to rebuild your own grocery store? >> i really don't know. i can't give you an answer to that. >> what do you think? >> i think they want to control the property for their own reasons. i really, you know, can't say

for sure why. >> and they've talked about using eminent domain. >> they don't talk about it, they've actually filed. that process has started. >> what do you think they're trying to do? >> they're trying to control the property. >> why would they want to? >> it's the only commercial property there. they want to ensure it remains a grocery store. >> so you think they want to be able to handle it and control it and put something brand new and shiny there on the beach? >> i think that's more likely what it is because they know that the whitneys -- i mean, we've only been in the grocery business on fire island for over 45 years. i don't think they're worried about us changing it. i think they're worried that if some day we sold it, someone else might change it. >> we got a statement from the city last night, and it reads in part this, throughout the past year, we have been trying without success to engage the whitneys in substantive discussions to advance what they now claim to be their primary objective, which is to renovate and continue the market and

operate. that said, however, at various times they've clearly stated their inability or unwillingness to undertake the renovation requirement, and despite statements to the contrary, no building plans or architectural drawings of any kind have ever been presented to the village for review. how do you respond to that? >> for one thing, they don't need architectural plans. we don't need architectural plans to rebuild a store. what we want to do is put it back to the way it was, only newer and more modern. >> i would respond by saying, here are 400 applications submitted by the damaged buildings in the village. every one of them is a single page. every one of them is approved. the only building that's been turned own is ours. they have a private membership yacht club that sustained much more serious damage than we did. they also turned in a single-page document and were immediately approved for repair. i respond to it by saying, why is it that everybody else in the

village was supported and aided in repair, yet we have to somehow turn in ten of thousands of dollars worth of documents? >> frank, if they wrestle this control away from your family, what's that going to do to you? >> well, it's devastating. we've lost our living. it's much worse for chip. chip's raising a family. that's hard on him. >> it is. >> well, keep us posted on what happens next. >> i certainly will. >> it's a landmark out there. so we want to know what happens. >> thank you. >> fellas, thank you very much for joining us. good luck to you. all right. coming up next on "fox and friends," a number of able-bodied americans on food stamps higher now than ever. how exactly does it happen? up next, stewart barney coming in. he says you can thank the government for that. good morning, stew. and the stage is set for super bowl xlviii. broncos versus seattle. and the mouth. >> well, i'm the best one in the game.

ahead for good. wi instead, he goes to michael crabtree, who had one of the most sensational post seasons around. sherman made the tip. over crabtree, it was right into his hands. you would think he'd be elated. instead, this is how he acted with erin andrews after the game. >> well, i'm the best one in the game. when you try me with a sorry receiver like crabtree, that's the result you going to get. don't you ever talk about me. >> who was talking about you? >> crabtree. don't you open your mouth about the best or i'll send for you real quick. >> he later went on to call crabtree a mediocre wide-out. so something happened in the end zone. >> which we've both been called before. >> of course. >> not by me. >> so that's one way to do the post-game interview. here's another way, completely different. peyton manning.

>> it's very rewarding when you put a lot of hard work into an offseason, into a regular season, and it pays dividends with a huge win and winning the afc championship today. couldn't have done it without these fans. this team has been through a lot. we've overcome a number of obstacles this year. it's been very gratifying to be a part of this team. we have just kept our nose to the grindstone, kept persevering, and it feels good to get this win today. >> i mean, this guy could also tell you the difference between socrates and arostotle. and that was 25 minutes after the game. erin andrews got him 25 seconds after the game. >> there was a lot of adrenaline for sure. but you think a victory would be enough. >> what's going to happen? everyone's going to be going to richard sherman when they come to new york for media day. >> say something crazy. go crazy for us.

>> and we're debating this now. everyone at facebook outside seattle fans aric th peyton manning. however, remember ali would go out there and taunt his opponent and say how great he was. just keep that in mind. you know, now everybody wants to hear from richard sherman. good for him. we love mohammed ali. if he didn't open his mouth, we might not. >> but is it trash talk or passion? let us know where you draw the line. and in the meantime, heather chi childress, no trash talking. >> no, i was pulling for seattle, so i was glad they won. the niners knocked out my panthers. that's why. switching gears completely, pot, al qaeda, and racism. those were just a few of the topics that president obama covered in an interview with "new yorker" magazine. when asked about pot, the president said, i smoked pot as a kid, and i view it as a bad

habit and a vice. not very different from the cigarettes i smoked as a young person. i don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. well, imagine trying to choose a health insurance policy and you end up talking to a pottery salesman. that is exactly what happened to people in maryland. they were trying to sign up for obamacare, the state health exchange mistakenly listed their health line as an 800-number for a pottery company. the website has been plagued with issues since its launch. and an afternoon walk turns into a cold-water rescue. a man in his 60s falls through the ice in a missouri lake, trying to save his dog. he was able to reach the dog and pull him on to the ice before falling into the lake himself. well, a bystander called 911. the firefighters used a rope to pull him out. then both the man and his dog were okay.

and finally, this dash cam video will certainly melt your heart. a police officer patrolling the streets of rosenberg, texas, spots a young boy playing football all by himself. well, the image of that young boy inspiring the police officer to take some time out of his day to toss the football with him. >> at that time, we both connected. we began to throw the football. you could see that, you know, i'm always trying to get him to go long. so we're just playing a game of catch, and it was awesome. it was cool that the public was able to see what really police officers do on a daily basis. >> the police department later posted on facebook, while a two-minute game of football might not mean anything to some, it could mean everything. the 10-year-old boy now saying he wants to be a police officer or even a football player which he grows up. and those are your headlines. >> that's a great story to end it on. >> indeed. thank you very much, heather. i mean, if you're going to see police dash cam video, that's the kind to see rather than

somebody doing something stupid. >> i can't tell you how many times i see police officers doing something positive, especially in new york. 90% of the time they're giving directions, posing for pictures, especially if they're on horseback. speaking of someone on horseback, maria is horseback often. >> actually, i do like horseback riding. >> are you good? >> i will be. >> emergency situations only. >> let's take a look at the weather conditions. actually, before we do the weather, we want to start out by showing you this very cool video. this is a video from russia. what happened is this man was in russia, he spotted what looked like three suns in the sky, and he spotted this while he was on the subway train. now, it's a sun flanked by two bright lights. this is actually known as a sun dog, or more formally as a parhelian. it's created by ice crystals suspended in the earth's atmosphere. that video from russia. otherwise, let's look at the weather conditions across the

country. you're going to be wishing you had three suns in the sky across parts of the midwest and the northeast because we have an arctic front that's headed our way. today ahead of it, temperatures not too bad. new york city and areas across kentucky into the 40s. take a look at tomorrow. much colder out there. we're going to be seeing those temperatures dropping. the low temperatures as we head into tuesday night are going to be below zero for cities like chicago and even up into parts of the upper great lakes. snow is going to be accompanying this arctic front as well. we're talking significant snow accumulation as we head into tomorrow. winter storm watches already in effect. as much as eight inches of snow expected for some areas. back to you. >> all right. thank you. >> and welcome back, by the way. well, the number of people on food stamps increasing from 26 million to more than 40 million between 2007 and 2010. >> meanwhile, the amount of able-bodied adults without children receiving food stamps doubled into the three years going from 1.7 to 3.9 million

americans. >> so are we becoming a food stamp nation? stewart barney is the only one that knows. host of "barney and company" starting at 9:20. stewart, those are the stats. what's your reaction? >> go back to the great stimulus plan. president obama just got into the white house. first thing he does, the stimulus program. in that program, he changed the food stamp rules. he got rid of the work requirement. so you could front up, ask for food stamps and get them without any kind of work requirement whatsoever. that set off the great explosion and the number of people, especially these able-bodied adults without dependents. that set off an explosion of those people getting food stamps. now, hold on a second. you fast forward to the present, and food stamp program reform is very much in the news. it's being considered now in congress. the democrats say, there's no jobs. therefore, do not reintroduce the work requirement. keep it as is. the republicans say, that's the

failure of the obama jobs program. bring back the work requirement, push people into the work force, and don't call us harsh for saying that. >> at least you would think that they should be looking for work. but you say ultimately, i'm reading your preinterview, this is vote buying. >> in my opinion, yeah. that's an editorial. that's an opinion on my part. but the president doesn't want to change his image. he's the guy who is helping people -- >> extending unemployment insurance. >> exactly. look, it's wicked wall street that did this. it's those bankers that did this. it's those wicked republicans that did this. i am going to keep the money flowing, the food stamps flowing. >> so that can be a narrative going into the next election -- >> oh, very much so. >> possibly midterm elections. >> extend unemployment benefits, keep food stamps as is, food for the needy, don't starve children, keep things as is. it's a way of using taxpayer money to buy a vote. >> and it's taken a lot of

taxpayer money. this is the kind of stuff stuart talks about on his show. kicks off at 9:20. >> fourth anniversary show today, by the way. >> congratulations. >> thanks. >> coming up, they're young and hungry for work, so why aren't millennials filling our crucial jobs like law enforcement? up next, a former detective has an idea. >> and a new warning this morning about your ride to work. why the duration of your drive could ruin your maerrriage. that's next. at panera, we believe in starting the day right

still telling us when to go to bed. experts say our genetics determine whether we're early or late risers. others think it's your job. our internal clock is reset every day by light and understanding what time a person functions best can help us live more healthfully. and if it takes you or your partner 45 minutes or more to get to work, treat your marriage with care. researchers say it's 45% more likely to fall apart if you or your partner has a long commute. this study shows men who have a long commute are more likely to bail on a relationship than a woman is. all right. talk about something else. >> luckily for our spouses, we travel while they're asleep. >> that is true. those miles don't count. >> that's right. all right. 14 minutes before the top of the hour. our nation's law enforcement agencies are not only being hit with layoffs, cutbacks and furloughs, now they're also facing a recruiting crisis. in 2006, about 80% of agencies had positions they could not fill and by 2020 most cops will

be millennials, the young people. >> but one problem with that, our next guest says, is that the millennials aren't taking the jobs. joining us to explain, former d.c. detectivive, rod wheeler. good morning. >> good morning. >> so the millennials are not accepting these positions? what's the real issue? >> the real issue here is that we haven't prepared these new millennials for leadership positions in the police department. that's one issue. the other issue is a lot of these new recruits are staying on the job five or six years, and they use that as a career steppingstone and go on to something else. so we've kind of created somewhat of a vacuum for ourselves in the police department. but this is something a lot of police chiefs are grappling with these days because they realize that there's a huge hole that they're going to have to fill within the next five to ten years. >> sure. it makes it sound like the younger guys and gals who get into the forces, they're doing it as a steppingstone. i work here three, four, five,

six years, i get some experience, then i go to a federal job where they're going to pay me a lot more. the problem is, it's going to be hard to recruit, and it's hard to retain. ultimately, are we going to be safe? >> well, that's an excellent question. i think we will be safe. let me tell you why quick. i think plolice chiefs, they've recognized this. last year there was a very interesting article published in the police chief magazine where they talked about some of the strategies that a lot of departments are starting to use, such as succession planning. historically, police departments never really did succession planning because younger officers would aspire to leadership roles. that's changed. the other issue you talk about when being safe is these new officers, they come from an era where there's a lot of technology. you know what they lack? they lack face-to-face skills we had 20 years ago where you have to deal with somebody on the streets. so again, there's programs being developed to try to, you know, enhance their skills. >> sure. and perhaps those technological

skills are great too, and the millennials do offer a lot of benefit in terms of maybe teaching those who have been around for a while all those skills, but also, isn't there instinct here? isn't there a gut instinct that can be passed down, a mentorship? >> yes, there is. as a matter of fact, like i said, there's a lot of programs now in place to try to do that. you know, you take a millennial right now, and they can text 250 words a minute, but where they lack is, you know, having that one-on-one discussion with someone. there are a lot of problems or a lot of programs, i should say, in place to try to correct that. the other thing is there has to be better relationships between the police department and the colleges and universities because here's what we find. if we start teaching these young folks earlier, these social skills, coupled with the technology, then we get a better officer at the end of the day so that we won't have to worry about not being safe down the road. >> now, that is a man with a plan. if only it will work out that

way. rod wheeler, we thank you very much for joining us on this holiday monday. thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. now 11 minutes before the top of the hour. coming up, do president obama's changes to our country's spying program go far enough to protect our privacy? former nsa director michael

how young is too young to play tackle football if you're a kid? according to one law maker, 14

years old and he's proposing a bill to ban it for anyone 14 years and younger. >> his main concern is concussions and the hits kids take while their brain is still developing. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> so right now you're proposing a bill to make it off the table anyone under 14 to play tackle football. is that correct? why? >> that is correct, yes. with all the recent studies in regards to concussions and subconcussion, blows and how that affects development of the brain, we want to protect our young children and make sure they are not being injured and we find out years later that we've done something wrong. >> right. what proof do you have that under 14 in playing football under 14, tackle football, would produce concussions? >> well, what we do know is that

concussions and subconcussive blows to the head can lead to long-standing hurt of the brain and brain development. we don't know absolute leisure about young people, but we know that high school, college, these athletes are suffering in their brain development and if it's happening to them, it's also happening to our young kids. we just don't see it until much later. >> i think there is a lot of fear right now in terms of getting sued. we saw the nfl lawsuit there and i'm sure there are a lot of institutions afraid of liability. but have you gone to a flag football game? i'm assuming that's the alternative for kids? >> i have seen flag football games, yes. >> my point is i have two young

boys. my husband plays for the nfl. there is not a flag football speed and tackle football speed. one would argue they'll have a hit that might be just as hard and may suffer injuries that are worse. how do you answer that? >> well, you can certainly have children suited up, if that's what you want in flag football games. what you don't want, however, is the tackling. the tackling which causes and leads to hard falls to the ground, the tackling that leads to -- >> i understand your concern, but should we ban skateboarding and soccer because it could hurt? what about lacrosse? >> in all sports, there is an inherent danger.

what we're trying to do is wait. make sure kids' brains are developed further -- >> that's good news for the people -- congressman, thanks so much. more "fox & friends" [ male announcer ] here's a question for you: is your tv powered by coal? natural gas? nuclear? or renewables like solar... and wind? let's find out. this is where america's electricity comes from.

we know we're not the center of your life, but we'll do our best to help you connect to what is. good morning. it's monday, january 20. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert, russia under attack by terrorists just weeks before the olympics. so are american lives in danger? donald trump just held the miss universe pageant there. hypocrisy alert. it was supposed to help struggling learns. the now contract to ship u.s. job overseas. is obamacare killing our economy? >> plus, they're two of the biggest names in pop culture. but now a one direction star under fire for supporting one of our friends from "duck dynasty." a big thank you from boss hog willie. where exactly is that tolerance from the left? we wondered.

"fox & friends" hour two for monday starts right now. >> it's "fox & friends"! i would just like to thank whoever invented twitter because thanks to twitter, so many people get into arguments in the twitterverse, gives us a lot to talk about. >> right. >> they don't need us. they argue with each other and we can comment because it all becomes public. one direction and "duck dynasty" gathering on the same side and getting a lot of heat. we will discuss that shortly. also my late to the story. >> did you insert and retweet? >> how about a real interaction? >> really? >> yeah. >> interesting. >> that's coming up this half hour. so put down the remote and enjoy the headlines with header childers. >> there is a lot of news developing that people are also talking about on twitter. let's start with iran.

while you were sleeping, iran stopped its most sensitive uranium enrichment work, which is steps away from bomb making capability. part of the deal from last november. in exchange, some economic sanctions will be lifted. this will last six months as negotiators try to hammer out a permanent deal. brand-new video to show you showing the moments a magnitude 6.3 earthquake rocks the city of wellington, new zealand. >> like we might have a bit of an earthquake going on. there is an earthquake, in fact! a very large earthquake going here. >> check that out. video taken in the middle of a race at a dog track. and then there is this over at the airport, a giant statue of an eagle came crashing down from the ceiling, sending travelers running for cover. no one was injured. and we told but the knockout game where people punch complete

strangers in the street. a 74-year-old from dallas, texas, the latest victim of a violent attack. police say that the man was pummeled outside a denny's restaurant. the manager found him lying face down, bleeding in the parking lot. a lot of people in the community, of course, on edge. >> i thought it was scary to think that you can't go out at night. >> we're going to be on our toes. you know you have to be on your toes all the time, even in the daylight. >> this happening just weeks after a similar attack a block away. police do believe the two are linked and they are offering a a $20,000 reward. and for the first time, the george w. bush library archives opened to the public. starting today the library is taking free freeh dom of information act requests. it marks five years since the end of bush's presidency and by law, the records must be made available. those are your headlines. all right. thank you very much. mr. monday is donald trump. he joins us each and every first

day of the workweek. good morning to you, donald. >> good morning. >> let's talk a little bit about this, some are saying the hypocrisy of obamacare. they fired the contractor who did the web site. now they've given it to a censure, they ship a lot of jobs overseas. most of them are in india or the philippines. so our tax dollars, it looks like, will be spent to send that particular task, $90 million worth, out of the country. >> well, it's truly hard to believe, the whole thing. number one, they hired the wrong contractor. number two, they're not going to sue the contractor who did a horrible job, and spent $1.5 billion on a web site and now they hire a censure who really does a lot of their work outside of the united states. it's an incredible -- it's too hard to believe. nobody can believe it.

>> well, i read someplace that if the work is done here, however, because they do have 40,000 here, something like 80,000 in india, 35,000 in the philippines, if the work is done here, the chances are the employees would be foreigners brought in with a special visa program who they're paying a lot less in wages. >> look, the whole obamacare situation is a disaster and i think one of the most interesting things that just came out is people that have insurance, they're the ones getting it. people that didn't have insurance are not signing up. so the people that it was supposed to be for are not taking advantage of it. and really can't. it's catastrophic. by the way, the people that are doing it are paying much more for their insurance and they're not getting good policies. they're not getting good plans. >> did you -- we want to play sound for you that i believe we have from governor cuomo and get your reaction here. take a listen. >> who are they? are they these extreme

conservatives who are right to life, pro-assault weapon, anti--gay? is that who they are, because if that's who they are and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of new york, because that's not who new yorkers are. >> that is governor cuomo on the capitol press room. it looks like he's taking a shot at the tea party, saying no place in new york for them. >> well, i think beyond the tea party he's taking a shot at many, many people in new york. you have a lot of second amendment people in new york who want the right to have guns. you have a lot of very fine conservative people in new york, many of them upstate new york who are not fans of the governor, to put it mildly. he's taking a shot at many, many people in new york. it's amazing. a lot of those people are leaving new york maybe. new york, a lot of people are fleeing 'cause taxes are too high. >> when you hear stuff like that, does that make you want to

run for governor more? >> it does and i've said if the party would get a leader that could bring unity to the party. the party, the republican party is in shambles and got a lot of problems. so much so that presidential candidates don't even come and campaign there. if there was unity in the party, i would do it and win. i would beat him. i don't even think it would be hard to win. the party is in total shambles. what new york needs more than anything else is sort of a mini version of the united states is jobs. they need jobs. they need lower taxes. and if they don't get them, new york will be in big, big trouble. >> for him to say -- there are a lot of tourists who think, should we go to new york? and he says, pro-gun, pro-life, i know he's talking about residents. he's like, why should we go to new york if that's the way the governor feels? >> imagine if ted cruz had said it on the other side. >> when i first heard the statement, i really thought he

was -- i thought it was some kind of a joke. i couldn't believe he made the statement. and i actually checked it out and now we hear it this morning and the statement was made. nobody can believe he made that statement. that's a terrible statement because it covers so many new nw yorkers. you're talking about a large percentage of new yorkers are covered by exactly what he said. so it was certainly an unfortunate statement. >> would you support fracking in new york, like it helped ohio, pennsylvania and north dakota? >> yes, i would, 100%. >> without the people of new york state, that's their only hope to reversing their economic crisis. >> that is their hope. we have a governor that is not going to do fracking. >> he is still studying it. let's talk about something else you know quite well, and that's taking the miss universe pageant to other countries and running it there. it went over to russia and this is really quite interesting for us because one of the hot topics now, one of the things we're worried about is the security of our athletes and other athletes when it comes to the russian games in sochi. what should we know about doing

something over in russia and security? >> well, i just got back from moscow a couple of months ago and we had an amazing miss university packagents over there. it was incredible. i could not speak more highly about the way the police were and the way it was handled. there were no incidents. it was great. it seems like they're going to maybe have some problems. it's a very big problem. as to whether or not people are going to want to go. threats are being made. you'll have a tremendous police force, but it could be a very big problem. i will say this, the miss universe pageant in moscow was -- they did a fabulous job. if they do that kind of a job for the olympics, it's going to be wonderful. >> the problem is, these are -- they have two bin ladens working at this event. by our intelligence bureau, they say there has been no cooperation or asked for any help from us, we're always doing something with the community of nations no matter where the games are located. not this time and you can say

the danger has never been higher. >> the danger seems to be high. i'm not sure if you're going to go there, brian. but i will tell you i won't be going there and i'll enjoy watching it on television. >> i will not go. i will not go to the winter games. >> you will not be on the luge, not competing. >> i will not. i'm going to watch it on tv in the middle of the night. >> i'm going to be watching it also. i can guarantee you that. and i'll be watching it also on television. >> so it's the best seat in the house. >> before we go, what do you think about the matchup in new york with the super bowl? >> well, i think that peyton manning was fantastic yesterday. i think he really was the star of the four games. he did a fantastic job and i think perhaps he will get what he deserves. he really deserves more than one super bowl. he's an amazing quarterback. he has one super bowl and with his talent and his ability and all, i really think he deserves more than one. so i would think denver has a very good chance. they played the best game of everyone yesterday and i think they have a very good chance. but as the expression goes, who

knows? who knows indeed. >> we will know the winner exactly two weeks from today. donald trump, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. it is 11 minutes after 7:00 o'clock in the morning here in new york city. they are two of the biggest names in pop culture. but now a one direction star under fire for supporting "duck dynasty." where is the tolerance from the left? plus, reaction finally from willie himself. and did president obama change his to our country's spying program go far enough to protect your privacy? that question is answered next. ♪ ♪ ♪

we really didn't make a decision on friday. what we got was lots of uncertainty and just as my conversations over the weekend with intelligence officials, this new level of uncertainty is already having a bit of an impact on our ability to protect americans by fighting terrorism who are trying to reach into the united states. >> dallas law maker, one of the lawmakers speaking out after president obama announced changes to america's spying program. did the president go far enough to protect our privacy and national security at the same time? joining us is the former c.i.a. director and nsa director general michael hayden. i saw that you wrote there was a lot to like about the president's speech. what concerns you most? >> well, brian, what the president is trying to do is to kind of shave points, shave capabilities along the edges of this program in order to make it more politically acceptable here in the united states and he's

trying to cut at the margin. that's a difficult art form. he is cutting back some capability. he is adding administrative burden. he is giving it more oversight, which will give confidence, of course, but also slows things down. so let's see what happens here now. >> he says he's going to take some additional time to work on it and ask the attorney general to come up with a place to put the mega data, somewhere in the private sector. the attorney general's track record doesn't make me feel too strongly that this will come out positively. for those who missed the speech friday, here are some bullet points. first, court approval for searches. then nongovernment party holds the records. get it outside the government to get the mega data to be parked there and pursue calls two steps away. what does that last point mean? >> you've got this massive database and lord knows, it is massive and you're phone calls and my phone calls is in there. you get a dirty number, say from

i didn't meanen a new cell phone you've never seen before. you get to ask that database, has that bad phone ever been in contact with anyone here? if the answer is yes, then you get the contact chain out from that u.s. number. what the president has done is reduced the number of hops you can go out from the u.s. number. now, look, if going out to the third hop wasn't useful, brian, we wouldn't have been doing it in the first place. that said, that third hop gets pretty defused. i think i mentioned yesterday on your network that at that third hop, you discover everyone has a dentist and everyone orders pizza. >> got you. by the way, i get e-mails after i make a purchase at a radio shack or target that gives me a coupon for something else along that ilk. all the phone numbers i dialed could be there if i chose to look at them. so someone is storing them anyway. maybe some people are upset that they're stored by the

government. but i don't think leaving it in the private sector makes anyone else feels good that knows this business. the second topic, explosives. edward snowden possibly was financing and pushed by russia? listen to chairman rogers yesterday. >> i believe there is a reason he ended up in the hands -- the loving arms of an agent in moscow. i don't think that's a coincidence. number one. number two, and -- >> you think they helped him? >> i believe there is questions to be answered there. i don't think it was a gee whiz luck event that he ended up in moscow under the handling of the fsb. >> that's a significant development. >> well, i said, we have questions we have to answer, but as somebody who used to do investigations, some of the things we're finding we would call clues that certainly would indicate to me that he had some help. >> general, you used to be on the inside there. a lot of these people are your friends. when he made those statements, was that entirely new to you? where is he going with that innuendo?

>> not entirely new. then again, i talk to chairman rogers a lot. he's laying out an hypothesis here, brian. let me give you a sense of how i think he's coming at it. it is frankly hard to explain what snowden did and how successful he was if you assumed he operated alone. so that's the hypothesis, the deduction. now we need to get facts. if we work with that hypothesis, do we now have data that actually shows these connections with a foreign service? to the best of my knowledge, we don't have that yet. once again, it is hard to explain how he could have done so much acting alone. i think that's what the chairman was focused on. >> yeah. he took a course on hacking. he went in to scrape and leaves to hong kong and ends up in russia 'cause he couldn't get to cuba. >> that's really important. he wasn't a gatherer. this stuff didn't just fall on him and he became offended. he went in there purposefully to hunt this data.

>> anyone who supported edward snowden will have a hard time running for president as they continue to say he did a good thing for america, in my opinion. thanks so much. >> thanks. coming up, if your kid is a bully, should they be thrown in jail or should you be hanging out the punishment? the law maker who wants to make bullying a crime next. and jay leno's very last guest just revealed. any guesses? >> children in the united states understand the age of 13 don't know how to tie their own shoes. isn't that amazing? that shows how far behind we are. kids in china not only know how it tie their own shoe, they know how to make the entire shoe. they actually make the entire shoe. farmer: hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer.

kind of behavior? joining us now, the law maker supporting the bill flax fellow state representative heather fitsenhagin. good morning. >> good morning. happy to be here. >> it certainly -- we followed the case with rebecca and it was devastating to hear what happened. it brought the question to the front of every parent's mind, ultimately who is responsible for bullying and cyber bullying in schools, out of the home? representative, what is rebecca's law specifically does it criminalize bullying? >> well, rebecca's law is a way to open up a dialogue to make sure that parents are talking to their children, teachers are talking to kids, and kids are talking to one another about the crisis in our country that is bullying. it's a way to make sure that we can get on the right track to stop bullying. >> i understand under the law there are two -- actually

separate the types of bullying. correct? there are two levels? >> there are two levels. there is a basic type of bullying and then there is aggravated bullying. >> when we see the misdemeanor here, the penalties for bullying under the misdemeanor area would be counseling, community service, juvenile detention, 60 days in prison and $500 fine. as a felony, that would make for five years in prison, $5,000 fine. there is not a parent out there that's not concerned about this. they're concerned about their kids possibly bulling or being bullied and ultimately this is an extreme situation. but does it -- would it take the power away from parents to get in there before their child becomes a criminal, before it gets to that point? >> absolutely not. this law is designed to make sure that everyone knows that there is a consequence. i don't want to have one more girl like rebecca take her life. i don't have to have one more

parent like miss norman have to deal with the loss of her child. i think it is extremely important that we make sure that people know there is a consequence for bullying and make sure that they understand it needs to stop. >> without a doubt, something needs to be done. we've had some response on facebook. ashley says, police, because of the teacher, i've come to realize there are too many parents who don't do their job. she saw that as a solution. and also jeannie says, if parents were held accountable for their child's actions, i think bullying would be less pref lentz. we know our daughter's passwords and regularly review her account. do you think the parents should be the focus of this? are they culpable? are they liable as opposed to their child? >> i think culturally we're liable. as a state and as a country, we need to address bullying. we all need to play our part. as parents we need to be aware of what our kids are doing and

talk to them to the best of our ability. as peer to peer, kids talking about it, teachers talking to the kids, we all need to play our part in reducing the amount of bullying. i understand that kids are going to be kids, but when you get to the level that i'm talking about, that it's going to be so heinous and abusive that someone is going to take their life, we have to do something. >> we certainly would hope that case would never come again. i know rebecca's mom is working hard on keeping her spirit alive and preventing this from happening. we appreciate you being with us this morning. we're all wading through these cloudy waters and wish you the best. >> thank you very much for having me. i look forward to speaking with you again soon. >> our best. next up, imagine trying to sign up for obamacare and calling a pottery store instead? well, it happened. the latest web site flub coming up. and they are two of the biggest names in pop culture, but now a

you are not going to believe this story. the company responsible for that gigantic chemical spill in west virginia where people couldn't drink the water, company may get off the hook without paying or anybody being held accountable. freedom industries is using a legal loophole that would allow it to dodge the bullet. so how is this legal and could it happen in your hometown? here to explain this very troubling aspect is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> good morning. hi. >> what do you mean nobody will be held responsible? >> they're suing this company, freedom industries. they've now gone bankrupt. they have about five or $6 million in irs and creditor obligations. so under the law, they will reasonably walk away from any liabilities associated with this attack on the water of 300,000 people in the elk river and charleston, west virginia, the city where the mayor says that the people who did this should go to jail. so we have something -- this could never happen in america.

300,000 people are still concerned about whether the water that they drink, that they use to bathe, that they use to brush their teeth, that they use in restaurants, whether they will get cancer, whether they will get lymphoma, leukemia, whether they will get upset stomachs, diarrhea, nausea, all those bad things because these people allegedly freedom industries, dumped 7500 gallons of 4 mchm, which the federal government doesn't understand what it is, into the water -- >> it's poisonous. >> moving downstream, so the people say, what's going to happen to our children 20 years from now? are they going to get cancer? are they going to die from this? >> people hate overregulation and i get that. >> i do, too and so do you. >> but at the same time, you look at this, they dump this stuff that we tonight know what it can do in there and simply by declaring bankruptcy, doesn't that mean they continue to operate? >> they continue to operate. in fact, they're getting a $5 million loan now to continue to operate.

>> 'cause they've done such a heck of a job. >> the thing we have to focus on in terms of our towns, you need some regulations to insure that people live and people are not poisoned. this tank not inspected. freedom industries allegedly never told anyone what happened. the state and the federal government are arguing about whether the water was safe, about whether pregnant women should be exposed to it. they don't know all of the materials that were in this chemical. this chemical was grandfathered in in the '70s without examination. the material safety data sheet doesn't have all of the information that's necessary to know about whether it's cars genic or not. so we have 300,000 people with federal and state trucks of water saying what happened? have we been left alone? i know everybody in the mainstream media is talking about chris christie. >> that's the biggest story in the world. >> the bridge was stopped for a day or two, but 300,000 people in west virginia say, what's

going to happen to us? >> peter, you're describing a situation where this could happen to any town across america. >> this could happen absolutely to any town in america and we saw how much of a blip it was. did we see a tremendous outreach or a statement from washington that pointed to this emergency? people have to look at their own towns and cities really carefully. is the state doing what they're supposed to be doing? are the counties doing what they're supposed to? is the federal government doing -- we don't know what the chemicals are or what the effect is and we don't know how to respond to it. there was no plan in place for this emergency and that's wrong. we have to make sure in our own towns and cities that there is a plan. >> until you brought this story to our attention, we didn't know that nobody was going to be held responsible. >> horror show. >> all right. peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. >> good to see you. >> good seeing you yesterday morning suddenly on the "fox &

that compelled your assistant to put it in front of you? >> well, the whole thing -- most letters i get, probably 100 pieces of mail a day. this one, there was a kid who wasn't asking for something. he just wanted to do business with me. i got a really nice letter from i think it was her mom. and explaining to me about him and i figured, this is -- sounds like a really nice kid. a nice family. so in the letter, the kid asked me if i wanted to buy his game boy for $30. he even threw in a salesmanship, asking, i'm sure someone would like this. here is 30 bucks. -- we wrote out a letter to him saying, i'm going to buy your game boy off of, but i'm going to donate it back for being a loyal fan. you know, listen to your mom. she seems really nice, and a few things like that. the thing is, i totally forgot about it until i started getting calls from a bunch of reporters on thursday or friday.

>> 'cause somebody posted it. >> it was posted. were you shocked? were you surprised at just kinds of doing what you see is pretty normal, something like that has gotten so much attention? >> yeah. i think it shouldn't be a big deal at all. i think celebrities, especially people with shows that kids watch a lot, there is a lot of kids that watch my show, should be doing this on a regular basis. i mean, i don't know why kids like to watch a fat bald guy on tv. they seem to really like me and i want to help them out. >> there is one thing, last year, the show has gotten more popular. is that one of the things you're able to do because of the show, give back? >> it really is. i had epilepsy as a kid. now i'm a spokesman for the epilepsy foundation. epilepsy.com. go and give some money. but i get to do things like that. i do stuff for them, harrison

overnight. let's start with iran. while you were sleeping, iran stopped its most sensitive uranium enrichment work, which is just steps away apparently from making a bomb making capability. part of a deal made with six world powers last november. in exchange, some economic sanctions will be lifted. this will last six months as negotiators try to hammer out a permanent deal. brand-new video in. american missionary kenneth bay held prisoner in north korea, begging for help. he is seen here underguard wearing a prison uniform. he says he hopes the u.s. will do everything it can to secure his release. he was arrested in 2012 while leading a tour group. a new terror threat puts the winters olympics in the crosshairs. this as two terrorists release a new video. it is believed they are the homicide bombers responsible for the attacks that left 34 people dead in russia. you may remember last month. including this train station.

in the video, they vow to murder tourists in sochi. u.s. intelligence agency says they are working to keep americans safe. this has been a tug of war. people are pushing and pulling on this. this shouldn't be this difficult. it is in everyone's interest, including the russians, to share that information with our security forces so we can make sure that our activities are -- our athletes and the participants are safe. >> the f.b.i. is sending 40 agents to the games. that is half the number sent to past olympics in china and italy. the reason? long-standing security rivalries with russia. pot, al-qaeda, and racism. those were just a few of the topics president obama covered in an interview with new yorker magazine. when asked about pot, the president answered, i smoked pot as a kid and i view it as a bad habit and a vice. not very different from the cigarettes that i smoked as a young person. i don't think it is more

dangerous than alcohol. he did admit he would not want his daughters to smoke. those are a look at your headlines. >> how can he compare cigarettes and pot? it's like saying, i used to drink too much pepsi and i used to have too much beer and it's bad. what are you talking about? >> football bad and pot okay. >> the president said he wouldn't let his kids play. >> and the president knows, according to a book we read last year, year before, he spent a lot of time in the tomb room. joining us right now is bret baier, the host of "special report" on the fox news channel. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what did you make of the president's nsa speech, 43 minutes long, on friday? he's trying to appease his critics who say you can't spy on us. he came up with a plan that most in the intel community and most on capitol hill say this is not just going to work. >> the people who support the nsa and the efforts looked at

that and first praised the president, i think, for defending the nsa and talking about the good things they do and making sure that everybody knew that it wasn't illegal. there was no aggrieved party here and that the program was legal. but those same people, including house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers and senate intel chair diane feinstein said he created some problems because by saying that he wanted all of the data, the meta data kept not in government hands, but someplace else, but not defining what that someplace else is, that uncertainty -- >> let's keep it someplace safe, like at target. >> i don't want to brag, but i had michael hayden on the show on earlier. i know you're jealous when we have biggests. he said the speech, he goeses, there is a loft good things in the speech. but this is what concerned him. >> what the president is trying to do is to kind of shave points, shave capability along

the edges of this program in order to make it more politically acceptable here in the united states. he's trying to cut at the margins. that's a difficult art form. he is cutting back some capability. he is adding administrative burden. he is givi more oversight, which will give confidence, of course, but also slows things down. >> let's keep it, but let's not make it as effective. >> to his point, each time now for internal in the u.s., if the intelligence agency wants to look at the numbers to query the meta data, they have to go to a judge and that slows down the process. if they're in the middle of an investigation trying to track down terrorists or following up something quickly. and both of the intel chairs talked about that. that said, there is concern about the program. there is concern about the

constitutionality of just a broad scope of a program and where does it stop. so for critics, they don't think it goes far enough. you had senator leahy. others who say listen, we need more oversight issues not less. >> fine line to walk for sure. what about this, the post-election delay, talk about the speed or lack thereof, the obamacare equal coverage rule has been delayed. it's not going to impact employers until after the midterm elections. what are some details there? >> the coverage that would give the executives better coverage than every worker in the whole organization, that's not going to be implemented yet. >> yeah. i don't know what number delay, but this is a lot of delays that obamacare has now had. this is another one. this was supposed to be instituted six months in after the law was put into place, march 23, 2010, and it didn't.

it never kicked in. essentially said that all of the plans had to be equal. highly compensated plans and regular employees' plans had to be equal. well, the irs finally came out and said, well, we can't define "highly compensated." we don't know what that is. >> the 1%! of course they know what it is! they've been talk being it for years! >> after the election to make that determination. obviously if you look at it, is a political consideration and there is a lot of things that are with this decision. >> i saw -- i'm sure you're going to be talk being this maybe with the panel tonight on your program -- i saw in the "wall street journal" on saturday a jaw dropping statistic. that was -- remember, the whole idea behind obamacare was get the 50 million americans insurance who have never had insurance. according to the "wall street journal," of the people who have bought insurance so far, only 11% of them didn't have

insurance before. the others, where they kicked off the other policies and stuff like that, if we knew that it was only going to be 11%, you wouldn't think they would have blown up the whole thing. >> i think the numbers -- over the next two months, we're going

fired with your gun, with your words, with your fists. and i like to include my message, no violence towards anyone from conception in the womb until natural death. >> there you go. of course, now we have an african-american president, barak obama. he has told folks about -- and spoken about how he was inspired by dr. king's message as well. taking a look at what president obama has done so far, what would you say he's gotten right and what he can still work on going forward? >> well, because i so often challenge his policies on marriage, on life, abortion, wanting to give people free birth control and easy access to abortion, people will say, well, has he done anything that you like? well, actually his father's day messages sometimes are pretty good and pretty positive. and so i do appreciate the fact that he talks about fathers.

i think perhaps he does that because he loves and admires his own dad. so that's one thing that i have noticed that he had pretty good points about. but this thing, to say that we can help people not be poor, we can help women if we give them free birth control and easy access to abortion, well, i'm a mother and a grandmother. my daughters really don't need free birth control and easy access to abortion. they need good jobs. their daughters, their daughter, sons need good education. and so i would like to see him divert some of that funding, all of it really, where he wants to give this free birth control, i'd like to see him divert that over to good education programs, reducing poverty, and to say to women, we'll help you not be poor by helping you kill your babies. i'm a little concerned about that train of thought. >> surely. we've got a couple -- he's got a couple more years in the white house. let's see what happens with

dr. barak obama. thank you very much for joining us from atlanta today. >> thank you so much. >> we apologize for that little buzz in that signal right there. 17 minutes now after the top of the hour. next up, the stories that send you junk -- stores that send you junk mail know more than just your address. one man's coupons came with a reminder of his daughter's tragic death. look at that. daughter killed in a car crash, or current business. the father who received that, with the outrageous story coming up. a dramatic rescue caught on camera. a man and his dog stuck in the ice. it's the video you got to see and wait until you find out what happens next imagining,

answer was, you know, that it was computer error. >> is that good enough for you? >> well, it went on from there. my wife kind of asked her, well, why do you have this information? and she explained that it was a computer error and my wife said, well, there had to be human involvement somewhere and after a little bit of talking back and forth, the woman agreed with her that somehow a human had put that on a piece of paper before the computer got ahold of it to make an error with it. >> seems like it's taken a long time to hear a true i'm sorry from a person with accountability there. mike, i know that one line was horrific to see for your wife to receive and i know you can't sum up ashley in a line, but just so that you get the last word and a dad's say on a daughter, what can we know about ashley? >> ashley was a people person and cared and loved everyone very much. her friends all depended on her

as she was the post for all her friends. the go-to girl. >> go-to girl. mike, we thank you for being with us today. i know this has been a difficult time and we certainly will keep your family in our hearts as you approach that anniversary. >> thank you very much. >> you got it. steve? >> thank you very much. 26 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, consumers shopping for obamacare end up somehow at a seattle pottery store instead. how in the world does that happen? we'll try to do some explaining. a new warning about your ride to work. why the duration of your commute could spell doomsday for your marriage. ♪ ♪ this is the quicksilver cash back card from capital one.

why not limit tackle practice to once a week and then the games. with the technology we have, the techniques, and in terms of tackles that the kids have and endure, why not deal with it that way instead of banning football? >> a lot of boys are rough and tumble, they want to mix it up. they can do it in an organized fashion if done in a contained and ed waited way. i want to know what you think. here are some e-mails. >> we've got a comment from the president of the united states. he was talking to the editor for the new york magazine and -- from the new yorker, that is, the president says, i would not let my son, if he had one, play pro football. at this point there is a little bit of caveat emptor. they know what they're doing and know what they're buying into. he's referring to professional football players. it's no longer a secret. it's sort of the feeling i have about smokers. when you look at the nfl is trying to have a big settlement with the guys who wound up with

>> we talked about financial bubbles and we all know from the recession what damage the financial bubble can do. i argue in the column that political bubbles form also and that we're living in one now. i take the case of president obama and that claim that we're the ones we're waiting for, change, it's like never before. that's the same kind of mania that gets people to buy a stock that's overpriced. the idea that this time it's different. what goes up doesn't have to come down. and then when the evidence starts to pile in that this time is not different, that things that you haven't repealed all the laws of the universe, then the evidence is ignored by the believers and then finally when people begin to express doubt, they have to be silenced, she have to be shut up because the believers cannot stand the facts. so we're seeing it in the financial markets. we have seen it, that's why we got the big bubble of 2007 and 2008. we're seeing it politically because of the policies that obama has prom mull gated bear

obamacare. you see the sluggishness of the economy, even despite what looks good statistically across the country, you have a lot of people who still think the country is in recession and finally, you look at the global disorder that is spreading. so i think you add all this together and you say, this time is not different. this time is very much like other times and therefore, i'm selling my stock in this guy. >> i'll talk with you on radio and we'll expand on that. new york ny post.com is your column and on foxnews.com. always great to see you. >> thank you. we're going to sit down for dinner soon. when was the last time you sat down together and ate a meal as a family? it's a dining tradition. so we've come up with a family that looks like that to talk sit down and have dinner with us for breakfast. back in a moment. oh! progress-oh!
