not. >> another mystery from space. my buddies identical twin daughters. they are big bronco's fans. >> way to set the tone. >> go broncos. >> thanks for joining us. >> americas news headquarters starts right now. we begin with a fox alert. a new terror threat against the winter olympics. thousands of americans will be headed there. >> i am alisyn camerota. >> and i am bill hemmer. the russians are studying a video from the islamic group threat eping to strike the games. >> reporter: security officials here in russia and the united states are taking the threat of the attack against the olympics very seriously indeed and it

appears with good reason. the video was posted on line over the weekend. in it two russian speaking men say they will have a surprise or a present, present for the russian people, the russian president vladimar putin and as they say for any tourist visiting the olympics. it is according to the security analyst a dangerous and very real threat. listen. >> the problem is that two people on the video, they promised a surprise, not specifically in sochi but for russia and tourist and visitors for the olympics. they never specify the place of the strikes and so everyone should be concerned. >> reporter: they are. president putin with the prestige on the line is promising 40 to 100,000 security

personnel on doubt in and around sochi. jim wallace an sprl security expert in mi t said president putin simply has to do everything he can to avoid an attack taking place. >> my guess they are going on err on the side of security and clamp down and do everything to stop this. it would be a terrific embarrassment and make putin look weak. the leverage here is with the attackers. they can choose the place and time of their terrorist attack and the russians will not know that. >> reporter: talking of the place and time of any potential attack, bill, there is disturbing news coming out of russia that is the security services issued a warning in all hotels in the sochi for 1 or 4

so- called black widows. the widows of those who have taken part in other terrorist attacks in russia. the russia authorities saying one, possibly as many as four of those may have already travelled to sochi and may be in place and planning an attack right there in the heart of the olympics. >> johnathon thank you. peter king will be coming up on what american athletes need to know, that is coming up shortly. another fox news alert. another delay for obama care. the irs will not enforce a discrimination ban this year. they have not figured out how to do. chris, great to see you. >> hi, ally. >> a provision prohibits employers from providing better

health care to the top executives over the low- level employees. why is the irs not enforcing this? the irs doesn't seem to be able to enforce the main parts of the law let alone boutique income provisions. the idea for the law for example, we could not knife you a better benefits package than we give to brother hemmer. and the law said you have to be offered the same insurance plans regardless of your station. that can't be done because it is too hard to figure out who has a better job and so that you are scrapping the whole thing for a year. when it comes to trying to put it in companies, the consequence in the lives of ordinary americans is going to attack place. when you start regulating the way companies do the insurance,

not only 80 percent of the american insurance policies. but it is your job, livelihood and income. it gets do ise. >> the devil is in the details in terms of the discrimination ban. one of the things it reads in the law, the plans must not discriminate in the favor of hilo compensated individuals. it sounds like the irs and administration are finding a hard time defining hilo compensated individuals. >> they threw stuff in the sxend say pass it anyhow and anyway. they were dumping stuff in the law and boutique provisions that are in there. and remember what we know about the irs. it is not a super well run organization. that is the verdict of the scandals and targeting, that the irs is not humming along perfectly. so the problem for this law in every way, is listeninging back

to the ears. sooner or later, the irs does the enforcing and may not provide the care, but they make the determination of who gets the subsidies and who pays the fine. that is a big task for a agency that is in desrepair. >> the diskepancy was supposed to deputy in affect in 2010. they have not put it in effect for four years. it is delayed gaep. it sounds like they will not put it. >> i bet they will. i think the idea with this law in many parts, do as little as you can to have the law go into place. if you overenforce obama care and follow the letter of the law. and if they enforce the employer man date to everybody that is a full- time worker and doing it in role time and cancelling the policies of people on the individual market et cetera,

this law might already be repealed. it would be to many people upset and instead you phase it in and hold it back and get it in place, and then impose the rest of it. >> all right. chris. another problem for obama care. not working for the uninsured. most people signed up already have a health plan and lost that plan and forced to go on the exchange. >> jerry willis. host of fox business network. >> i am good. hemmer. >> this is shocking. two-thirds of folks who tried to epiroll 2.2 million had coverage or recently had coverage. this comes as a shock. reason the administration's argument in getting the affordable care passed we have to help people. look at 48 million were deemed

not to have health insurance and we could fix the problem and pass the law and get coverage to 25 million people. and in the end of the day, these numbers are coming from the private sector. these folks are seeing the result of obama care and seeing who is enrolling. it is people who had coverage or have coverage. it is a shock. >> why is it not hitting at least the minimum number? >> big conversation about that today. people are speculating. maybe the affordable care act is affordable only for people who have coverage. the deductibles are 5,006,000. and so there is a lot of out of pocket costs that you have to be able to afford. and a lot of people want that extra money for a subsidy. and your costs are highway, maybe it is more affordable and deputy on obama care and get

a free bee from the american taxpayer. this is confounding people. >> part of the reason that the law was enacted we were told to take care of the uninsured and i thought original lein the whole debate 30 million needed insurance. that number is going higher. what is it today? >> 48 million is the number that we are working with. i have to te tell you it is debatable. when you look at what is going on right now, this is a tragedy that the program that the american taxpayer is rolling to a trillion dollars is not doing what it was supposed to. >> the insurance companies have a stake. they were waiting for new customers. this can't be encouraging to them. >> they were waiting for the new custome customers. we'll sign on and if you guarantee us a steady flow of

customers. it is not just that, their margins and prfs that are guaranteed. they can't loedz money on obama care and only make so much obama care. that is limited as well. >> and if this trend continues, what is likely to happen as a result, jerry? >> i think the choous for the law to get repolled will get louder. and we'll need to get more people. >> fox news, gerri willis. >> president facing low poll numbers. why can't he shake the sagging approval. we'll depate. that >> all eyes on the winner games and the growing security concerns on the olympics less than three weeks away. peter king has that next and there is this. >> a braizen robbery in the

middle of a mall send shoppers running for their lives. >> store said someone is shooting. >> they are coming over here and i am going to hide in the bath rom. and i will look myself in there. 

>> in tennessee newel thieves pull off a brains robbery. shoppers were terrified after 5 or 6 men dressed in black stormed a julie store and take a look at the cell phone video from an eyewitness. some people mistake the sounds of breaking glass for gunshots. listen to the terrified shopper. >> we just waited for a good bit and police came by and showed our badges and told us to start letting people out. >> police are still searching

for the suspects. the job of the olympics hosts is to insure the security of the visitors in the olympicsment we'll do whatever it takes. >> president putin promising the games will be safe. >> this is men promising on a video of a new surprise for visitors. the state department issued a travel advisory before that was posted and peter king is here. welcome back to hq. there is a significant rub now between u.s. authorities and russian authorities. u.s. authorities trying to get information on the source of the threat and what they know and the russians don't seem to be budging much. is that changing? or a big issue? >> it is a significant issue.

the russians are far cooperative than any recent olympics hosts, chinese and british were cooperative. even the chinese that wore at odds with, they were far more woptive than the russians. the russians are concerned that our intelligence people would learn about their sources and methods and they have to a large extent is going alone. this is the most dangerous olympics we have had. any type when there should be cooperation should be now. we are not getting the level of cooperation and coming down to the final few weeks? >> would we do the same with russia if the games were here and they wanted that information? >> if the threat was serious we would find a way to make it work. we would be relukt at more to work with russians than the

british or canadians. there's no situation that is comparable to what we have in russia. the games in sochi and so close to chechyna and dagestan. and it is not coming from thousands of miles away and not just a tiny population living within the country. these are strong terrorist forces coming from the area. >> that is true. now it is reported that there is a huge area blocked out. 25 miles long and 60 miles wide or vice versa which will be where the actual games take place. based on the information you have, are you advising any lite lot or any america not to go to russia? . >> no, i would say it is up to them. obviously they have made a commitment to this.

it can be dangerous. the exact lotion in sochi, the main olympics site is safe. but there are venues outside of sochi without going in to details are vulnerable. and also only one airport and difficult to get people in and out if we have to. while we are there. we'll have security, and our government has security people with the olympics team and urge the athletes to do whatever they are asked to do. they may feel calm and relaxed and festive atmosphere and may think the precautions are over the top and things look safe to them. but i urge them to do what they are asked to do. don't go anywhere they are asked not to. the last thing we need is our athletes to be victims over there. >> it is sound advice and very specific question here now. what is the plan or is there

a plan if your athletes were in danger for us to extract them? >> there are contingency plans but it will be difficult because it is hard to get in and out in a hurry. the airport is inadequate for that and we don't have troops or large forces that can be mobilized. but we have contingency plans and do the best we can. >> we heard about. that final question. mike rogers said the russians are not giving us the full story, do you expect that to change or is this the way it is going to be with putin? >> putin is a difficult guy to deal with. and i don't have all of the information that mike rogers has. he's been right all along on this. i believe there were russians involved with snowden. and as far as the olympics, the

russians would be more cooperative. >> he was talking about the olympics. >> we don't seem to get the information that we can to protect the athletes, >> mike and i are on the same page and if they wait too long it is too late. >> peter king, republican from new york. appreciate your time. in ukraine violent street clashes in the city of kiev. watch this. protestors throwing rocks and bottle and gasoline bombs at riot police. street battles have been going on for days now and escalating the ukranian political crisis. this is the latest in what started as peaceful protest. >> new accusation against chris christie's administration about what his team is accused of

conversation in may 2013 is not only false but illogical and does not withstand scrutiny when all of the facts are examined. >> reporter: after the slew of subpones that went out last week foreshadowed the national political future and in the yahoo interview mr. christie shoes that the controversies are taking the toll. i don't think anybody knows to have the coined of attention i have had until you go through it. i am trying to get my arms around an auchl situation and address it and resolve. it he thinks that the next republican presidential nominee will be a goff dpof.

the nsa leaker did not act ax lone. that was made by congressman mike rogers in an intruchlt senator feinstein weighed in on the likelihood of him having help. >> i don't have any particular one of the things that i point to when i talk about this, is that the disclosures that are coming recently are sophisticated in the content and sko sophisticated in the timing and too sophisticated for mr. nowden deciding on his own. >> there is no response from glenn greenwald as to whether snowden at aed with a nonchinese national believed to be a russia who helped on his travel. greenwald said they were baseless allegations. toll pole numbers for the

obama team. in spite of a growing economy the president can't shake the numbers. >> la resularsen. and dan girstop. thank you for being here. >> you bet. >> there are indications that the economy is improving, the stock market is at record high and new car sales are up and home prices are up. yet the president's poll numbers remain a nemic at 40 percent approval. la res, how do you explain it. >> in the clip you played from the president, he will do things about the things americans care about. the poll last week said the president's new push on income inquality. four percent of americans care about that. what they care about number one item according to the last woke's poll is corruption in

government and ineffective government which the president did nothing about. he seems to be at the center of corruption and inepiitude of government. and so if the recession ended in june of the year that the president tock office five yesing on, and the improvements for people who lost their jobs are notóçkç coming f and the president works on everything but that problem, he invents new regulgzs that destroy jobs in america. he makes energy more expensive. and shuts down coal stre and refuses to sign the key stone pipeline. and he is off worrying about income inequality. >> you are giving dan a lot to think about. you know, you are stuck on 39 and 40 percent. and if the economy is bumping up a bit, people are not feeling it and perhaps why the numbers are there. >> you are right.

i am no apologyist of the president and i am deeply disopponented in him. and the job numbers are related to the short term troubles. but it is driven by a bigger dynamic that has significance for both political parties. the old song economy is growing and doing well and electorate will follow and poll numbers will follow. we have seen macroeconomic indicators are not working for average middle-class people. they look at washington and see in the wake of the crash, elites and wall street and financial institutions and big cooperations are doing well. and average workers. >> that's because of government policy you admit. >> i think government policy and government inaction by both sides and i disagree with la res. he exempts congress from any

responsibility here and the average american look at washington hole. they don't separate it by parties and say neither party knows how to create long- term growth and opportunity. 50 years ago martin luther king spoke about march for jobs and freedom. you have few job prosprekts for the middle class and opportunity for social possibility. neither party has the answer. >> let me give you a window on how the president is feeling about the sagging poll numbers. he welcomed the miami heat to the white house. and he drew a analogy with their history. watch this. >> this group has won twice, but it is gone for the final three and fighting for a little respect. i can relate to that. >> there you go, lares.

he's one legislative victrows and still fighting for respect. >> you know, he hasn't though. think about the job of the federal government is. guard national security. are we safer when we took over. no. look at iran and middle east and syria and look at egypt and our relationship with russia, so as a coach, i think president obama would have been fired for his perforpance. his performance is poor. if you think about it the only reason unemployment numbers are low. so many people are saying i give up. >> dan, what do you think? >> that is why washington is held in such low regard. always saying the president's fault and one side. i will be the first to admit. the president is timid and weak and not shown the leadership i would like to have seen. but the congress obstructed him every set of the way. ndan. moving forward though.

what does this por10 for democrats trying to win office in november. >> i think we are going to so status quo. i think democrats hold to the senate and republicans in the house and gridlock until the next presidential election. >> if the drag on the economy lares. what is the down ballot act for the democrats. >> they will lose a lot of seats. that is appropriate. if the president would sign key stone tomorrow 20,000 jobs and put a freeze on the crazy new regulations that are killing the coal industry and export of coal and coal foured power plants that is heart boat of the economy. they do i under federal regulation and no one to blame but the president for federal regulations. the congress can't stop when it is a divided house.

this is obama. >> bill, one more thing. >> make it quick. >> he is telling one side of the story, we have most domestic energy production. >> and we need to do more. we'll pick up next time. 21 days and counting, most time iran needs to have the most powerful weapon on earth. >> coming up from a former high end official. is this the time to keep up the pressure on iran with new sanctions or wait and hope for the best. we'll debate the ticking clock and doomsday scenario when we come back. >> here's the end game for me. i am the plu toniam reactor dismantled and not in place. the iranians are the chief sponsor of terrorism throughout the world. wow, this hotel is amazing.

oh no. who are you? who are you? wrong answer. wait, daddy, this is blair, he booked this room with priceline express deals and saved a ton. yeah, i didn't have to bid i got everything i wanted. oh good i always do. oh good he seemed nice. express deals. priceline savings without the bidding. we still run into problems. that's why liberty mutual insurance offers accident forgiveness if you qualify, and new car replacement, standard with our auto policies. so call liberty mutual at... today. and if you switch, you could save up to $423. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy?

's new warning about iowa ran and the nuclear capabilities and now getting attention from washington to jerusalem. former head of the nuclear watch dog industry saide ran is 2 or 3 weeks from building nuclear weapons in weeks. time being the essence, do we

need new sanctions as many in congress believed. michael kay is former adviser for the briederb dance. and casy mcfar land is here. we wanted you both on today because you feel differently about sanctions. >> just a little. >> we'll debate it. let me read to you what the state department said a couple of hours ago. as a result of iowa ran's actions today. united states and european union will imelement the sanctions we committed to. >> we are scaling back on sanctions kt. >> the deal was supposed to be the deal was we lift the sanctions and that roll back the nuke. >> they it are freezing the program and not rolling it back. we are using our best leverage now so that the ability to get what we want to roll back.

we'll not have leverage to do that. >> michael, you don't think the safrpgzs are effective. >> i don't share kt's vow and that is not to say it is an educated vow. there compelling evidence that sanctions are not working. the uranium stock piles are reaching and the plant is under construction. we have to look at what sanctions are really about. iran is a religious part to the political structure and a democratec part. the unelected religious part of the people who have power. a yatolla controls military and foreign policy and the way that iowa ran. and not rouhani. and sanctions hit on the people. they are going to do what they want to do unless we pursue diplomatic channels. >> kt, sanctions mike said did

not work. >> why do we want the sanctions? trying to get them to stop or to the negotiating table or regime change. i was always for regime changed. i thought the sanctions were not enough. the way the soviet union collapsed reagan had economic pressure so that the people themselves demanded a rescream change. the point of crippling sanctions which we never got to. crippling sanctions would have gotten the iranian people out in the street and the mulla hs. our necks or a noose. >> do you think they have worked. >> they worked to get them to theitably, but just when it was having an effect we should have squeezed harder. >> i don't think sanctions got us to theitably. the west has occupied the country to the left and right of iran for the last deck 83ed.

we are fw about to pull out of afghanistan. i think there will be a resurgence of taliban we saw that last weekend. and al-qaeda in iraq at the moment. and so iran is feelingoisealated on the geo political front. look to syria and the only ally in the region and assad is under throat. >> do you think the current plan will work. >> i think diplomacy is going to work. they are inviting iran to the geneva convention. first time we'll get iran to sit around the table and listen to them and gauge what they have to say. they will give us an idea what they are going to do. >> i completely disagree. i think we are leaving the members of the jury midge and leaving iowa ran by blessing this deal, we are mreszing the iranian economy is about to bomb

and they will be the militarily most powerful country in the region and they are the alphadogs of the middle east and done with our blessing. >> do you think that congress should insists on >> do you think congress should insist on passing new sanctions on iran at this point? >> i believe in good cop, bad cop negotiations. i think the administration should welcome congress having additional sanctions. then they can say, look, if you don't have a good deal with us, you have to face them. >> what do you think of the plan? >> the way i'll finish this off is iran is not an enemy. iran is a problem. okay? that's the way we need to deal with iran. let's go down the diplomacy route. it's only $7 billion in sanctions we're talk about. we can turn them back on again as required. >> that, i think, is a mistake, but we'll debate that again. >> we will. thanks. great to see you. >> so once an icon of the twin cities, the metrodome is no more. and there's some very cool video

to see this come down. and a new blast of arctic air is on the move, and millions will experience dangerous windchills yet again. single-digit temperatures and that is not all. we'll tell you where the warnings are posted today on the empty 6th avenue of new york city. there's a new form of innovation taking shape.

for millions. meteorologist janice deans live in the extreme weather center. extreme for a reason, right? >> yeah, 58 days until spring, my friend. we're counting them down. >> nice. >> but until then, it's winter. look at these current temperatures. this is not windchill. these are actual air temperatures. what it feels like with the windchill. minus 21 in fargo. zero in green bay. you get the picture. this going to move southward and eastward. will it be as cold as early january? not quite, but we still have dangerous windchill advisories in place. people are urged to stay indoors. and as bill mentioned, we have a new storm on the horizon. d.c. could see its first two-inch plus snowstorm in three years. we have these fast-moving clipper systems diving across the ohio valley and the great lakes, and this one is going to intensify off the coast. so here's your timing. 6:00 a.m. tuesday in towards seattle. d.c., you're right on the doorstep. and then we're going to see this storm move offshore, intensify quickly. d.c., philadelphia, up to new

york, winter weather advisories in effect. 3 to 6, perhaps 8 inches of snow. it's a quick mover, but it could cripple washington, d.c., because bill, you know what happens when over two inches of snow fly in washington, d.c. it's snowmageddon. >> we don't want to say that, though. because they're our friends. >> friends, absolutely. >> listen, it's not polar vortex two, but it's going to be cold, right? >> it's going to be cold, and we're going to see measurable snow here. >> okay. >> 58 more days? i thought it was almost over. >> counting them down. >> thanks, janice. all right. the queen is turning over some of her responsibilities to prince charles. so if you were king or queen for a day, what would be your first command? >> you got an idea? >> not yet, but i will come up with one during the commercial break. we'll read your best ideas next. oh!
