>>oc. i think that is a nice way to look at it. >> not malicious. >> and our producer rachel is a patriot's fan, she let me run that story for the broncos. purdue university said a shooting took place on the campus in west lafayet, down down. the school had everyone shelter in place. the police have a person in custody and no word if that person is connected. they cleared out the building while the area is searched. a spokesperson said no one could be immediately reached for details including whether or not anyone was wounded. we don't have confirmation of that either. watching that purdue university
10:01 am
breaking news on hq. a major winter storm impacting millions was you right now. triple threat and heavy snow and artic air and we say hello to you at home and at work. i am bill hemmer. >> and i am alisyn camerota. the delivery men are trying to make deliveries in the snow. schools are closing and travel is disrupted and at last check more than 2600 flights were cancelled and this storm is just getting started. meteorologist janice dean is in the fox weather center. howñi is it looking. >> it feels like groundhog day. we are talking about the winter storms and the artic plunge and we are going to continue for the next 18 hours. and this is the beginning of the storm. this is a clipper fast- moving storm originated from canada and usually don't dump the snow.
10:02 am
this will intensify off of the coast and become a coastal stofrment we are predict the in some cases over a foot of snow. dc, you are getting the snow. and philadelphia tis snowing to beat the band there. they could get 12 inches of snow. and we'll certainly see airport delays and air canc laegzs for philadelphia up to new york and boston ending tomorrow and we'll be left with cold temperatures and gusty wins in excess of 30 or 40 miles per hour. here are your snow totals. dc and north of the city higher totals. 8- 12 in philadelphia. and 8- 12 for new york city. and locally heavy for the jersey shore with a foot of snoechlt and eastern long island and coastal massachusetts, again upwards of 14 inches and the red right there blizzard warnings. we are seeing wind gusts in
10:03 am
excess of 30 miles per hour to dc and philadelphia and atlantic. and this storm hasn't really got its act together. it will be an event for the next 18 or 24 hours. i hope you guys are staying in hotels. >> we are coming to your place. >> i am staying here. >> come on over. >> all right. janice. >> lot was room. >> save us a room on the cot. another fox news alert. the hunt is on for possibly three suspected suicide bomb ares headed to the winter games in russia amid of so- called black widow on the move in the olympics city. we have more from the nows room. >> bill, it is not exactly clear how many black widows russian security services are looking for. it may be as many as three or even more. there is one that we know for
10:04 am
sure. this is a picture of one distributed inside of the city of sochi where the olympics are due to take place. the fear among the russian security service that black window groups shed the brutality before. that was a bus bomber carried out by a female suicide bomber. it was also the city where the train station was a target just last month. 34 people killed in that blast. given all of the recent history, the u.s. military is going to plan to send two war ships to the black sea. you can from the map right next to sochi there. those warships will be on stand by to evacuate u.s. citizens if necessary. a former deputy national security advisor said today that he believes that that decision would be taken in extreme
10:05 am
circumstances. if there is a real sense of serious risk to the athletes that is imminent and material and can't be countered, then you would so a discussion in the situation room around what is to be done. that kind of a decision is taken seriously and no one wants to see the olympics disrupted and pulling the american athletes out is disastrous for everybody and give the terrorist a victory. >> it certainly would give the terrorist a victory and a defeat for many others including vladimar putin from russia and guaranteed all of the safety of the athletes and those visiting for the olympics games and the u.s. is not sitting on that guarantee and don't want to take any chances, bill. as one defense department told fox news today, the pentagon, learned a lot of lessons from
10:06 am
benghazi. >> wow. >> bill? >> and johnathon hupt on that story out of russia. and new respects that president obama is pressured by competing wings of his own democratic party. liberals want him to focus on income inequality and moderates want him to focus on economic grouchlt bret baier is anchor of special report. hey, alsip. >> the president has a tall order coming up for the state of the union address. not only to sell the agenda to the american people but the devoided wings to his own party. which way is he leaning? >> we start with the premise that the state of the union is not a news maker speech. it is a laundry list and shopping list that they lay out what they are going to do. and this president with low approval ratings and dealing with congress doesn't have as
10:07 am
much juice as he used to be. the real interest in the speech, what you talk about. democratic politics and shaping up for the mid- term election in 2014. there is a split in the republican party between the conservative elements and moderate elements. and there is a split in the democrat party with the more liberal elements calling for higher taxes and an aggressive push against wall street and the more moderate elements calling for a focus on economic growth and trade policies and things that lift everybody up with opportunity and where that focus is and where the president ends up going with the speech, i think will tell you a lot about where the democratic party heads up in 2014. >> that is interesting. from what we understand, the divide is the liberals who want him to stay focused on income quality. and jobs. can't he do both? >> he can.
10:08 am
he has tip toeed through the tulips before. and there will be a laund row list of democratic points that really the party wants to separate as many candidates as they can from potential gop rivals setting up in november. the problem for them, many of the red state democrats don't line up necessarily on all of the issues the same way that party the all, in total will talk about the issues. you may see separation in a number of different races, over all, the state of the union, as i said is a long list of things and how much he gets done is yet to be seen. >> here are a couple of things on the laund row list. he will incorporate college affordability, talking about that. and work place maternity leave and extended unemployment benefits and that is a hot topic
10:09 am
and the minimum wage. are those that most resonate with the voters at the moment? >> if you look at a poll, that's not where most voters heads are as far as the top issues of the day. they will talk about jobs as number one. the economy over all, but when it gets down to breaking down on minimum wage increase, while popular politically, it is not something that drives voters. it depends on the poll and how you ask the question. i think democrats do so opportunity in some of the issues in specific races that they are targeting. >> all right, brett, thank you for previewing the big speech for and you say whether it will define the midterms. we'll talk to you soon. a couple of tweets sent out by the school and a headline about a shooting that took place. at least one person in custody,
10:10 am
perhaps more we don't know. that garrett is watching it live out of chicago. what can you ask from west lafayet, indiana. >> reporter: we just got off of the phone, and they told us not only is one person custody and one person injured at this time. you mentioned on the school's twitter feed they are giving updates. they have cleared the building where the shooting took place, but continuing to search other buildings in the area. students are asked to remain sheltered in place. we spoke to a spokesperson at the school. they got reports of multiple shots fired at the electrical engineering building. students were not there yesterday because of martin luther king junior day. and they are back on campus and told to remain sheltered in place and the school doesn't have a lot to say right now, there is not a lot of
10:11 am
information out there right now. police say they are continuing to search buildings in the area and students are sheltered in place. >> you said it was first reported at noon? >> reporter: the school spokesperson noon eastern time. >> an hour or 10, 15 minutes from now. and you wonder how they are secowering the buildings. what about the injuries? >> reporter: it was hectic in the police office. they jumped off of the phone and they have a lot going o. >> i bet they do. we'll so whether or not this can be resolved quickly and peacefully. that is the website at perdue.udu. and so we are watching this and we'll get the updates passed
10:12 am
along to you. a year since president obama took the second oath of office. ally talked about the accomplishments and which items he did not accomplish. >> if they are extreme conservatives they have no place in the state of new york. that is not who new yorkers are. >> demand for an apology. and new york governor andrew cuomo and the official asking for an apology is coming up. >> and how a bird hunts prey.
10:13 am
10:14 am
10:15 am
there is new fallout after andrew cuomo set up a fire storm with this comment. >> who are they? are they these extreme
10:16 am
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. >> well now the head of new york republican state committee saying this. >> i call upon governor cuomo to it apologize to good conservatives and catholics for the statement that they have no place in new york and all new yorkers for poisoning new york's politics with divisive rhetoric in a time when new york needs to be united to address the continuing economic problems. that is ed cox with me in albany, new york and welcome to hq. >> hi, bill. >> you called earlier for an apology. have you gotten it? >> we have not gotten an
10:17 am
apology. we have explanation and he only meant republican or republican matters, and i guess he's saying if you are a pro- life democrat that may be okay for you to be here in new york. to tell cardinal dolan you have no place in new york. you can't get more intolerant. we are seeing the real cuomo with that remark. >> we were told that the comments he made and we heard on radio, from last friday, were distorted when reported, were they? >> you just -- you just gave the exactly the way he said it. and he is very simply if he didn't mean it apologize for it and move on. he hasn't apologized. he tried to explain it. he is not saying he didn't mean that. you are either pro- life or pro second amendment have no place in new york.
10:18 am
that is insulting and intollerance. >> when his camp talked about and say he was only referring to extreme right candidates, does that fly for you? >> it doesn't fly, the remark stands for itself what it is. he specified people who are pro-life and basically pro second amendment and said they have no place in new york. that is just is especially new york which prides its on diversity and anyone can come here to suck sowed. for centuries that's what new york has been. going back to the open society in amsterdam. that's why it is the financial capitol not only of the united states but the world. that kind of intolerant attitude is harming new york's economy. we have an a nemic economy.
10:19 am
and we are not developing federal gas resources because of a moratorium he has on the development and polls show he hasn't had a good impact. his policies are not impacting. >> let me if i could come back to the comment there. it is his office also said in the same sprue he said it is fine to be anti- gun control and antichoice and he respects both positions. i take it listening to you that you don't hear it that way at all, do you? >> for his office to say it is fine, he ought to simply apologize. he hasn't done that yet. he personally doesn't want to disown that remark. he needs to apologize to make it clear that is not what he is. i am afraid he is that and meant that remark. >> when you ask for a an
10:20 am
apology, how would you accept it. you want him to come on television and make a statement on camera. you don't want a tweet or something on facebook or a statement on paper. you want to so his face and hear his words. do i have that right? >> no, look an apology is an apology. but he personally has to make. he made that remark personally and as the governor of new york state, making a remark like that is unacceptable. however he does it he has to do it permanently. >> you will take the apology however you can get it. >> however he does it as long as he personally apologize. not explanation or his office. but an apology for him personally. >> we'll see if you get that today or tomorrow. thank you for being with us. >> thank you.
10:21 am

10:26 am
there is information about perhaps a injured student. we get a bit more information we'll pass it to you. there will be a student with us in a matter of moments here and apparently the student witnessed something either inside of the building or students leaving that building. >> and a sheltener place order, given to students? as you can see now, it looks like young people with back packs walking around the area and we still see the emergency responders. maybe they are not any longer searching. they had been searching it for another suspect and that is over now since it is more relaxed on the outside. >> we have to speak to liz evans. are you there? >> i am. can you hear me. >> youor the air with bill and alisyn. tell us what happen on campus. >> i can tell you what i know.

10:28 am
>> we know the police are still investigating and it is a developing situation. the rest of the campus should be aware of no current threat. classes are still going on in the other parts of the campus. >> liz, we understand from what you are saying that you don't believe any other suspect is loose on campus. you believe they have the shooter in custody. >> we have one person in custody and letting you know what the police are telling me and no rumors get out there. one person is in custody and the rest of the campus is open except for the electrical engineering building. >> i know you have a lot of things going on. appreciate the moment to inform our viewers of what is happening in west lafayet, indiana. >> despite winning re- election in a land slide. new jersey governor chris

i think the three or so black widow suspects, that is the tip of the iceberg. we are not getting all information about the active threats and the operations they are conducting right now. i don't believe they have it under control. putin has the national pride on the line and his own reputation on the the line. and he's doing everything he can to make it happen. he's facing a high threat difficult environment. >> mike baker, with that chi chilling assessment. >> president obama sworn in for second term. >> we have john and marjorie. a former consultant to the obama campaign. and great to see you guys. >> good afternoon. i will have understand first question to bill hemmer. >> thank you, alisyn. is it done, marjorie and stuck in the water? >> no, the honeymoon is over. we discovered that our spouse

opinion they don't. if you are arrested in the united states for a ñifelony an a maximum is to be in jail. the federal government is required to notify the consulate of the country from which the person came so that they can provide financial and legal assistance. and this guy arrested in houston for blowing away the head of a cop, the federal government did not notify mexico. it is 20 years later. it is 20 years between the commission of the crime and carrying out of the punishment which is scheduled for tomorrow and the lawyers are saying because you didn't call mexico 20 years ago we don't want him to be executed. they are not saying he didn't do it. they are saying he shpt be scouted because mexico doesn't have the death.. there is no law that requires the state of texas to notify the mexican authorities. but only the federal government
10:49 am
to do so. >> and why is john kerry concerned and saying it could endanger americans abroad. if we don't honor the death.in mexico and other countries can use their own rules. >> that is probably secretary kerry's concern. i don't think he is suggesting that the guy is innocent or he did not get a fair trial. this problem of who notifies the foreign country came up in 2008 and the supreme court of the united states said that president george w. bush who tried to stop an execution in texas. of another guy in mexico did not have the authority to do so. the treaty between the united states and mexico only affects the federal government and it doesn't affect the state
