"fox and friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it's wednesday, january 22nd. i'm elizabeth hasselbeck. a massive winter storm pounds the northeast. snow and ice wreaking havoc on the roads. what you need to know before leaving the house today. >> if you can leave the house. meanwhile, president obama and vladimir putin have a phone chat about the future of the olympics. can putin put aside his ego for the safety in sochi. >> here's the seattle seahawks you can really learn from. >> i was picked on and picked last. coaches didn't know how to talk

to me. but i've been deaf since i was three. i didn't listen. >> now he's at the super bowl. the sound of silence in the nfl and the little girls who were inspired. "fox and friends," as far as we can tell, snow and everything, starts now. hi. this is alan alda, you're watching "fox and friends" and sometimes me too. it has been too long since hawkeye was on. >> that's right. he's one of our favorite guests. he hung out in the green room and talked about italian food. >> folks, there was a big blizzard throughout the northeast. we set a record here in new york city. everyone gets a trophy for participating. new york set a record. they set a record in jersey and it is bitterly cold. currently, it's 9 degrees in front of our world headquarters. as you go to work and school and schools are open here in new york city today, be careful. >> they are opening schools. roads are slippery. 13 advisories.

>> you were just on them. >> i was just on the road. fishtailing my way in. i think speed is key. learned to keep that under control and really pay attention to the ice and warnings. >> 80 million americans are digging out after getting slammed by more than a foot of snow. 15 inches in portions of new jersey. anna kooiman live in central park where they broke a yesterday today. >> good morning to you, brian, steve and elizabeth. we're at the iconic central park behind us. 11 inches of snow did fall here. it's the white fluffy stuff. it's really pretty. the kids will be enjoying it after school today. new york city schools are still a go. some are closed, however. it's just been a mess of a commute. the storm hit at the worst possible time at rush hour across the country. that's when it began to pick up and commuters are being warned about slick roadways this morning as well. all the way from north carolina up to new england. just a few weeks after that

polar vortex, folks are dealing with the madness again. at least one death in the state of maryland has been blamed from the snowstorm. a driver fishtailed and went into the path of a tractor-trailer, unfortunately. but really the same story across the country. take a listen to one commuter in ohio who has been dealing with all of this. >> i was coming up the road here and a car cut in front of me, i had to tap my brakes and slowed me into the wall. pretty snowy, pretty slick. >> states of emergency do remain in effect in new jersey for the entire state and parts of new york. governor is warning folks to stay off the roadways if at all possible. as far as flight cancellations, 1500 today alone i'm told and 2200 delays. certainly check with your airlines before heading to the airport. back to you. >> anna kooiman live in central park where they set a new record for the amount of snow received.

thank you very much. it's going to be cold and frost as far south as the panhandle of florida. >> let's talk about winter somewhere else. that's in sochi, russia. we know that one big story that we always hear before major events from the new york marathon to the super bowl which will be happening here in a week. security. most people's eyes roll over. it's a thing you're not supposed to see but you should know it's there and keep your fingers crossed nothing happens. when it comes to sochi, the more people talk about this in the know, the more i get the sense that safety can't be assured and vladimir putin has too much power in his hands when it comes to making sure our athletes and the international community is secure because he decided to have it in sochi, it's an area bordering the caucus regions which is less than settled. offensive measure after the two terror attacks last week, he's now got his troops surging into that area in the dagestan region trying to stop the terror

attacks before they would be happening and that's where the threats are coming from. >> they had an active day certainly yesterday and then fears monday were mounting after reports of a search for black widow and possibly other women reported to be threatening attacks and then the video of the two men that came out taking credit as they did for killing 34 people earlier in the month. >> and more threats after that saying the worst is yet to come. >> if you're awe tourist or there for the games, right. >> a surprise package for you one of the suicide bombers said. that's the setting. what's going on? well, the president of the united states talked to vladimir putin yesterday on the phone. two and a half weeks before the olympics. what's interesting is the white house reported that the two talked about the olympics, but the kremlin did not. simply said that they talked about what's going on in syria. meanwhile, we understand this morning it's breaking moments ago, apparently the teams from

slovenia and hungary have received some sort of threat. that's the background. and have we heard from, for instance, the president of the united states saying we can guarantee things are going to be secure there, no. aside from inside the olympic village, which really is going to be tightly secured, the rest of the area is a gigantic question mark. lieutenant colonel ralph peters was on last night and has this to say about sochi and putin. >> putting the olympics and sochi in really this terrorist heartland was an act of incredible arrogance and putin may get his comeuppance in that area. the russians have been fighting the islamist extremist for hundreds of years. this is going to be ugly. >> now the u.s. and russia opened up discussions about us giving them or letting them use our sophisticated electronic

devices that were effective in thwarting the ied attacks we were able to pioneer and engineer in afghanistan and iraq. number one, we lend it to them, great. number two, russia would have the opportunity to keep that technology which is something they didn't earn in terms of our friendship. >> or we could operate it. the deal is we would operate it. >> i hope so. now the big question is if you're an athlete, the family of an athlete how do you feel about competing in the games you trained your whole life to compete in? >> especially since the u.s. has some control in terms of getting in there, but would ultimately have to be asked by russia, should anything serious happen to actually get in there in terms of military procedure, and help. but athletes are concerned. they do say, though, that the olympic committee says they're fine, you remain as close to the village as possible. one athlete, 29-year-old tucker fredericks, he's a speed skater. his family has gone to the olympics before with him.

he actually requested at 29 years old that they stay home. his wife, mom, dad not come not because he felt not safe himself. he just didn't want to have to be concerned about their safety for the first time though, this is happening. we imagine not being able to go watch your son, your husband compete. he has asked them to remain home in fear for their safety. >> right. because of the way the venues are set up, there are going to be two clusters, one with the ice sports right along the coast and then the skiing and the sledding that's going to be up in the mountains which will be much harder to control. you know what, we're two and a half weeks out. we'll keep you posted. this is shocking. there's a permanent democrat, a civil rights leader down in south carolina. extraordinarily, martin luther king holiday he said this about the first senator, black senator from south carolina since reconstruction. i'm talking about tim cot.

this was said by that guy -- >> william barber. >> he said "of tim scott, a ventriloquist can always find a good dummy. the extreme right wing in south carolina finds a black guy to be senator and claims he's the first since reconstruction and then goes to washington and articulates the agenda of the tea party. calling tim scott a ventriloquist dummy. >> wow. >> it's incredible. how do you feel if you're senator tim scott? he fired back. let's take a listen. >> pretty remarkable and absolutely ridiculous. think about the fact that since the last 5 1/2 years we've seen 7 million more americans fall into poverty. instead of looking for an agenda of opportunity, we're hearing baseless rhetoric about the same old things that have not worked so far. for him to attack me, it's as if you have conservative principles or ideas that actually work, why bother to even try those.

>> you know, he maintains such composure facing such hateful remarks from the other -- he said, "instead of i will honor the memory of dr. king rather than truly firing back and being proactive and holding the door for others and serving my fellow man. reverend barber will remind me and others of what not to do. to his credit, the senator has been working hard to really give a voice to those who are unemployed, provide alternatives when it comes to employment and really closing this gap story in terms of income inequality that's being put out there by the administration. he's working hard to really get things changed in a way that would work. what is he met with? discrimination for his own beliefs. >> the president, from time to time, weighed in on issues like this. he's been really strong. i would love to see the president weigh in on this, saying i saw disappointing comments that came out about a u.s. senator. i hope this thing stopped at the water's edge. >> i would be shocked if he did.

well, it's easy to assume that the rich inherit their money without earning it. in reality, under 15% of top income earners inherit their wealth, while more than 40% of lower income earners inherit theirs. >> how does the rich really make their money? how do they do it today and in the past? by hard work is the conclusion. four times the amount of full-time workers than poorer households. here to break down the numbers with the national review is correspondent kevin williamson. kevin, you discovered that the rich are actually more hard workers than inheritors?

>> well, yeah. they tend to be employed in high numbers. if you look at wealthy households, they're almost exclusively made up of married couples who both work full-time. the poorest 20% of households have fewer than one half of full-time worker per household on americans. rich americans inherit about 15% of their wealth and the rest is earned income. >> how is the notion sustained then that if you're rich, you're sitting on money not earning, lazy in fact, just sort of rolling in cash? >> sure. if your political agenda is to loot a certain segment of the population, it's easy to do that if you can convince the world they haven't earned their money. >> not their fault. >> we don't really want to tax people who have earned their money very much. but when it comes to people who have inherited, unearned income, it's easier to do it. the left and the democrats tend to cultivate this falsehood. >> the characterization of children of privilege, inherited

a fortune, shuttling between mansions is really from the minds like elizabeth warren and robert reich. do you think they're hurting the cause of american society? >> i think they're misleading the american economy. what's really driving inequality isn't so much inherited money. it's marriage. compared to say the 1950s, a wealthy man is more likely to be married to a high income woman than back then. if you make $100,000 a year, $200,000, very likely you have a spouse in roughly the same income bracket. that's driven a lot of the difference in income and net worth. >> so you are -- what we found too from your study here, the highest income earners only 13% of them are not working. >> yeah. they tend to be employed and very, very high numbers. that's the main difference between high income households and low income households is that high income households are made up of people in full-time jobs. this isn't to say that people on the other spectrum are lazy. it's to say the job market

stinks for people at the low end of the skill spectrum. but what's keeping low income poor is lack of jobs. about 70% poor don't work. >> how do you explain the disparity that the president is emphasizing. rich got richer, poor getting poorer? >> over the long-term, that's not exactly true if you look at the irs data about households. you'll find that -- if you look at how much money it takes to be in the top 1% or 10%, sure, that's gone up over time. that's a natural consequence of having larger markets and more people participating. >> if you want the details and i know you do, go to kevin williamson's column in the national review. the snow couldn't keep you down. >> not at all. thanks, kevin. coming up, thousands of workers about to find out they're no longer getting health insurance and they can thank the president for that. >> after the president said he would not let his kids play professional football, one of

democrats lying on the campaign trail to get elected? not really anything new and definitely not new in texas. >> she said my language should have been tighter. i'm learning about using broader, looser language. i need to be more focused on detail. is that fair? >> no, it's not fair. we should be focused on the truth. she is running in the state of texas, running against a popular attorney general, greg abbott and she needs to be honest about her life story. i mean, it's tragic. i'm a single mom. i had a hard time. i'm talking about that on the campaign trail. we don't have to make up our lives to connect with people. >> i tell you what, she feels that greg abbott, her opponent for governor in texas, is behind this even though the dallas morning news came up with this stuff. yesterday she put out this statement regarding mr. abbott. i'm proud of where i came from and i'm proud of what i've been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. i guarantee you that anyone who

tries to say otherwise hasn't walked a day in my shoes. and that is particularly heartless because her opponent, greg abbott, is paralyzed since 1984 and is a paraplegic. >> well, it's no doubt, this was very rude and condescending. it definitely shows how low democrats will go. we see a common theme among this party now about no accountability. no one wants to be held accountable for what they say or do or as they govern. it's pretty shameful, especially in texas. >> sure. we saw something that you tweeted out. it's in response to that new yorker article where the president of the united states said he would not allow his son, if he had one, to play pro football. you tweeted this out. i want for to you comment on it. you tweeted out, president obama says i wouldn't let my son play pro football. that's weird.

i wouldn't let my son add $7 trillion to the national debt. why did you send that out? >> absolutely. you know, i think people are just tired of this administration, and particularly this president who is constantly always being rude to americans, always tearing americans down, tearing down american culture and frankly, we're tired of it. a lot of these young men, i have a teenage son who happens to be an athlete who absolutely loves football. we should be encouraging our children to pursue their dreams and not tearing down the parents who do stand behind those athletes. >> joining us today from dallas, texas, katrina pierson running for congress down there. katrina, thank you very much. >> thank you. 28 minutes now after the top of the hour on this wet wednesday. snowbound new york city. coming up, is it a crime to buy your father a hunting rifle for his birthday? that ahead in the supreme court later and the details straight ahead. forget richard sherman, meet

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.

so you want to get married? you might have to pass the couple's class first.

that law could become mandatory in colorado. the proposed measure would require couples to take ten hours of premarriage education classes. 20 hours would be required for second marriages. and 30 for third marriages. but is this the government's job? here for a despair balanced debate, sheryl weber and linda chavez. good morning. so is this something the government should be involved in? is it their relationship to step into? >> i think it's fine for governments to incentivize and reward marriage education, but i have concerns about manneddate. i think it could hind marriage. where children are concerned, marriage is very important that we -- marriage attaches fathers more strongly to their children. marijuana lifts women and children out of poverty. we wouldn't want to hinder marriage. so i'm all for a growing

increased movement for marriage education, but i think maybe we could find some creative ways for local and state governments to reward that education. >> do you think it would be a hurdle for couples to get married, which is something that bonds people? linda, do you feel this is a hurdle or something that would actually help marriage? >> i think it's clearly something that will help marriage. government has a stake in marriage succeeding. the cost of breakup and divorce is often borne by the government because there is a loss of income and particularly when children are involved, the government can end up holding the bag to the tune of some estimates are $150 billion a year spent to take care of children who are the products of either divorce or unwed births. so government has a stake in this. we require, when you get a license to paint toenails, that you have to undergo some education. you have to undergo a license to drive, requires you learn the

techniques of driving and some states, young people are required to actually take courses. so i think putting the emphasis on making sure the people have relationship skills, that they've learned to talk to each other about things like finances and whether or not they want to have children, those are very important and it's better that that takes place before marriage than to wait until after the marriage starts to fall apart. >> there are many people who would feel the government should not be deciding whether they have a strong relationship. we've had situations in the past where they say don't define my relationship or marriage. you tonight know what kind of spouse i will be. sheila, do you think that's the government's business to do this? this course is really an hour's log. it's not a pass-fail. >> we were behind the taxpayer cost for divorce and -- i'm verned about the cost that our government is bearing.

i agree with many of the points linda is making. i just don't think a we can mandate this, although i do think we should find ways to incentivize it. on the other end of the spectrum, i know there are people working on divorce prevention education that when people go into the divorce courts, at least one third of those marriages have the potential to be rescued. that's huge. those are huge numbers. we're finding if people can work through their hurdles and get through the tough times, five years later they're happy they stayed together. it may be we could require people to watch a video or take an on-line course about the high cost of what they're entering into during the divorce process. >> we want to thank you for the great debate on the big relationship talk of marriage. thanks for being with us. coming up, the governor of new york telling conservatives there is no place for them in his state. new york sean hannity he's packing his bags and he's out of here. plus, does he have a monkey on

well, it's feeling pretty simple again thanks to weight watchers new simple start. it's a 2-week plan to start losing weight right away. join for free. weight watchers. your new beginning starts here. good morning. today is wednesday, january 22. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. get ready for a slippery ride to work this morning. did we mention the freezing temperatures? we have all the chilly details coming up. and the united states preparing for the worst if there is a terrorist attack in the olympics. but did the white house learn its lesson from benghazi? what the department of defense is saying this morning. and he promised to stop boozing it up. new tape shows toronto's crack-smoking mayor has not cleaned up his act and he loves fast food. "fox & friends" and fast food starts right now.

>> hello. this is morgan freeman. robin williams and george w. bush, you're watching "fox & friends," man. >> thank you. >> and by the way, he will be on with us next week as we celebrate the super bowl in new york. so he'll be one of our guests. >> what a good time. he's fun. >> speaking of new york, just a moment ago in front of our window here at 48th and 6th avenue, somebody was heading up toward that clearing which is central park with ski poles because they set a record for snowfall yesterday in central park. mother nature delivering a one-two punch. first snow yesterday and now below freezing temperatures. anna kooiman live in central park where currently anna, it is 8 degrees. >> it looks like 8 degrees, anna. >> yes. it feels more like a frozen tundra then the big apple. yes, some people are enjoying it. we've got dog walkers. i haven't seen ski poles. central park did get 11 inches of snow. we're in the iconic columbus circle area. don't let the gorgeousness of

this stuff fool you. it's been a real headache. there is states of emergency in parts of the state of new york and the entire state of new jersey. the commute is super slick. we've got the plows really work the roadways. but it was a nightmare during rush hour yesterday. commuters complaining, lighting up social media about this. if you have any friends in the northeast in particular, the storm hit right at rush hour, leaving some drivers in the gridlock. but others even stranded, like this grandmother and her nine-month-old grandson. >> i had to tap my brakes and slid me to that the wall. pretty slick. >> right. an absolute nightmare for commuters all the way from north carolina up to new england dealing with this. one death in the state of maryland, being blamed on the

storm, as well. flight delays, 2400 today i'm told. 1500 cancellations. certainly check with your airlines before heading to the airport. back to you. >> all right. anna kooiman live in columbus circle by the park. thank you very much. stay warm. i'm powerful and i know it. >> undoubtedly. >> sometimes i surprise myself. >> you left modest out. >> right. on purpose. here is why. less than 24 hours ago, i called on the president of the us to us put in a call to putin and say, hey, i'm worried about my athletes and the sochi games. i'm getting word from our intelligence community that it's not as safe as it could be. it's time for you to step it up before it's too late. and sure enough, they had a conversation yesterday among the topics were the olympics and we weren't talking speed skating. >> you were the catalyst for that conversation. >> i like to think so! steve doubts. >> president obama and putin actually got together by phone to talk about the security and how they can come together to help those that are there for

the olympics remain safe on the heels of information. two videos of two men coming out, taking credit for killings that occurred earlier in the month and then the search fort black widow has everyone rightly so in a panic. they're saying they are going to come together to some degree. the us would you say have to seek permission from russia should anything happen to get in there. someone from the department of defense, from the pentagon is saying, quote, learned a lot of lessons from benghazi and they're doing a lot of planning should they be called to assist with an evacuation in the ehaven't of a terrorist attack. >> 'cause there was no evacuation plan. >> there was not. >> so they are lining things up. it sounds like we'll have a couple warships in the black sea just in case something goes wrong. it looks like -- those suicide bombings in the last couple weeks, plus you got the video of people out there, all points bulletin for the black widow.

slovenia and hungary sent letters. >> their olympic committees did receive letters of threat. >> you're right. >> i think. >> 500 miles away, we understand the russians went on the offensive and started pounding into dagestan where most of these threats are coming from. in terms of the black widow, they feel as though one of the three would be suicide bombers is already behind the security clearance there. that belt of security. that's really got them worried. they're trying to hunt them down. and maybe using some of our technology. we'll see if that happens that we pioneered to keep our troops safe in afghanistan, as well as iraq. we'll see if putin will put some of those things to test because right now we have maximum 40 f.b.i. guys that will help all of our people inside sochi. >> certainly some family members of the olympians are making a decision. we heard of one family, as you brought to us, steve that, is saying, hey, we're not making the trip. our olympian said stay home. stay safe. he doesn't want to be distracted

worrying about us. >> sure. when you think about the olympics and you think about terrorism, you just automatically think, remember what happened in munich in 1972 when the palestinian group killed the 11 israelis. that was in the olympic village. they're saying the olympic village is safe. but there is more to the olympics than just the olympic village because they've got two pods. they've got around the olympic village and then things out in the mountains where they're doing skiing and the sliding. it's hard to keep that secure. think about it. if you were a spectator, would you feel safe throughout? why hasn't our president of the united states come out and said, you into he? i've talked to putin. i can guarantee things are going to be safe. we haven't heard that because they can't. >> it's a really good point. from safety and feeling okay and secure to feeling welcome, we've got the super bowl coming here. new york is going to be wild with fans and people just gathered around.

so it reminds you of what governor cuomo said. he made comments about if you are extreme, this is not the place for you if you're conservative. take a listen. >> who are they? are they these extreme conservatives who are right to life, pro-assault weapon, antigay? 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. that's not who new yorkers are. >> well, somebody who lives in new york is sean hannity who was talking on his show last night about how he's talked to his wife and he doesn't like the fact that they pay 10% state tax. he's thinking about leaving new york state. somebody who did is glenn beck. here are their comments together. >> we have helped some of the hospitals in new york with hundreds of thousands of dollars. so we're good citizens.

we're there. we put our money and our back where our heart is. plus we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax. we employ over 200 people. i have 200 people that work in new york state and new york city. are they not welcome? is our money not welcome? >> does that mean that the cardinal of new york, saint patrick, he's not welcome? every priest, every brother, every nun, every catholic, every christian that's pro-life in new york, is he insulting everybody that's a person of faith now? there is no free open exchange of ideas and ideals and opinions? that is a sad state of affairs. liberals are not the tolerant people they proclaim to be. this is a sad moment. >> governor cuomo is somebody who clearly has his eye on national office and going for reelection at the same time. he's going to try it do what christie did and max out the vote. it's unbelievable that his political consultants would say this is a good move. move to the left of the left and make statements like this.

and if he did not believe what he said, this was days ago, he could have walked that back a long time ago. >> new york, rightly boasts like wonderful diversity. i think the diversity of opinion and foundation is somehow overlooked by the governor, according to many. what do you think about that? send us a tweet, e-mail, facebook us. >> we used to welcome your huddled masses. those in the huddle are welcome. >> you though is welcome? heather. >> brian the guardian of history. love it. thanks so much. it is a cold day right here in the northeast. 9 minutes after the hour. big developments in west virginia. the victims of that chemical spill may not get any money, but the company responsible for the spill, freedom industries, getting $4 million to remain open. this is part of a bankruptcy deal. the spill contaminated water for more than 300,000 people in that state alone. we'll keep watching this story. dramatic new video in of a

deadly plane crash in aspen, colorado that we had told you about earlier. this surveillance footage from january 5 shows a plane hitting the runway and bursting into flames. one of the three pilots on board was killed. a preliminary report found wind gusts of almost 30 miles per hour may have caused that crash. freezing temperatures won't stop thousands of people from taking part in today's march for life rally in washington, d.c protesters will walk to the national mall to the supreme court mark the 45th -- 41st an verse of roe versus wade. brand-new video starring toronto's mayor, rob ford, who once again swearing and slurring his words. take a look.

>> he doesn't quite sound like a canadian there, does he? ford right there, rambling in a jamaican accent. he was holding court at a fast food joint. the cell phone video surfacing weeks after he promised to give up booze and crack. ford now admitting he had been drinking just before this new video was reported. he announced his bid for reelection earlier this month. that poor guy. those are your headlines. >> he's got to join rodman in rehab. >> they would be good friends. >> they would probably be able to help each other out. this is tragic. >> great casting, brian. >> yeah. celebrity rehab. someone call dr. drew. >> he's probably watching. 7:11 in new york city. coming up, the hunt intensifying for homicide bombers at the russian olympics. we're looking for that woman right there. how do we -- what do we know about the black widows and what threat do they pose to american athletes and the world?

new details this morning on the black widow. the female suicide bombers believed plotting attacks on the olympics and bragging about it. i'm joined by one of the few people not surprised by this threat certainly in the west. how serious is this and why do these terrorists come off cocky almost assured that they'll be able to pull off an attack? >> this is a very serious threat just because the jihaddists are

issuing those threats have actually enacted in moscow and many other places they've shown their capacity. the most important issue here is that they are local. the region they're coming from are hundreds of miles away only from sochi and those slopes from chechnya, dagestan, from other areas. and also the major concern is that some of them may have already been on the inside. that's what the russians are concerned about. they could have been staffers now, police persons, workers in subways. that's where we should be looking. >> in your mind, do the russians need our help, help from the west and are they not asking for it? >> the russians have 80,000 security staffers and others in place. but this is an army. terrorists don't need thousands and thousands. they need intelligence. they need counter intelligence and technology. of course any american and european and international support in terms of information, sharing information and protecting their own delegation. the best americans can do is

forget the american delegation and our allies. >> we like to get nicknames to people, quick to get their point across. this black widow, who are these people and why are they so intent on inflicting -- losing their lives and killing others? for example, the one woman we're seeing in this picture. >> the black widow basically are jihaddists, elements are part of what is the equivalent of al-qaeda inside russia. but they claim that they are part of a movement in chechnya that was at war with russia and they want to liberate or get an independent chechnya out of this. the problem is they are linked to al-qaeda, international al-qaeda. an example, those who did boston here are linked to the jihadi organization and the caucuses. >> so you believe they might be al-qaeda and those alike might be helping those in the caucuses because they're all islamic extremists and that's what brings them together? >> i think that would be my greatest worry. not just the local chechen jihaddists, but remember the chechens have been fighting in

syria. remember that they have also been helping others like in afghanistan. so now maybe is the time for other international jihaddists, because this is an international event, to be there. so the threat is not just local. it could be international as well. >> wow. we'll see where this goes. walid, letting us know is serious security threats. thank you for joining us as we get close tort sochi games. >> thank you. 18 minutes after the hour. coming up, a record number of households living off the government. guess who is on the hook? you, the taxpayer. shocking new numbers straight ahead. plus, you know him best as the karate kid. today ralph macchio is pretending to be really good. can he beat every host that we have in the building? ♪

yesterday was a rotten weather day. we established new records for snowfall in portions of new jersey and new york and right now it is 6 degrees and that's where we find maria molina braving the cold. >> good morning. i want to show you some of these snowfall totals 'cause portions of new jersey, like you mentioned, did receive record snowfall. take a look at this particular city out here. 15.8 inches of snow. parts of massachusetts already reporting 15 inches of snow and counting because it's still snowing across parts of pennsylvania. the snow totals really piling up with many areas looking at totals exceeding a foot. you can see that snow still coming down early today across parts of long island. it's starting to wrap up and end there. but parts of the cape still being hammered by very heavy snow and also some strong winds where reporting gusts of over 40 miles an hour in cities like

why should she be on a list? criminal? >> i completely agree with her attorney. she should never have been added to this list. this does not fit the crime. this is excessive and typical big brother, where trying to be paternalistic as a society and overcriminallize things that were just an accident or possibly a lapse in judgment. >> is this true negligence? is this overly mandated? or designed to protect children? >> wait a minute. right. look, we all understand that leaving a toddler alone in a car is completely negligent and inappropriate for a mother to do. she was apparently in the store for at least ten minutes and there was an administrative proceeding here that found twice, not once, but twice in the court of appeals of new jersey that she should be placed on the registry due to facts that we cannot reveal on camera. clearly you have to protect the infant and who can do that but

the state? no one else can. an 18-month-old can't speak for itself. that's the issue we're facing. >> there is an advocacy element here that someone -- there are laws designed to protect children in the car specifically in terms of car seats. is this something that should specifically be legislative? is this a law that should actually state in terms of leaving children in a car up to the age of 18? >> they have a child endangerment statute that encompasses all of that. >> ashley, what are your thoughts? >> i just think that's excessive because in this case she was arrested and prosecuted. but then they went beyond that and they put her on this child abuse registry. the problem with the opinion was they never gave her an evidentiary hearing. they never allowed her the opportunity to bring in her own evidence to show she wasn't a bad mom and she didn't belong on this registry. the problem is the law is absolute. if you are arrested for x, you

are going to be on this child abuse registry. the state really can be using its resources to protect children that actually are in need, where the evidence was that this was a good mother, that this was a lapse in judgment -- >> i don't know if we know what the evidence is. i don't know that we know what her past history was and what it wasn't. but unfortunately, sometimes things have to be like that to protect all children. >> do you think past history should be excluded or the age of a child? does this include children up to the age of 18? i believe how it was stated. is that too old? >> that's too old and the law is too broad. >> the judge also has discretions in cases like this, where weather a judge will determine based on the age of a child, the circumstances, the history of the mother and other children what, exactly happened in this case. that's usually how a judge will take -- they have discretion on the sentencing and on even applying the law to a specific instance. >> rebecca -- >> there is a reason the law

wouldn't be absolute is the 18 years because the judge does need to have discretion. >> no, no, no. the law in new jersey, the child endangerment law doesn't restrict a parent if a parent leaves a 17 1/2-year-old in the car, they're not going to be arrested. that's ridiculous. the discretion of the judge is to apply this law in the fact. here he felt that the law did apply. it was endangering the welfare of a child such that the child could have serious disfigurement or die. when you're leaving a child in a car for ten minutes unaccompanied who is 18 months old, a lot can happen. we have to recognize that those children have no one else to stick up for them but the state. >> rebecome coo and ashley, we thank you for giving us your take on a very sensitive issue and weather it comes to the safety of kids. we want to know what you think out there. send us an e-mail, tweet us something or facebook. we'll checking and possibly reading them later. coming up, get the kids out of bed. we have a lion, a fox and a couple of monkeys in the studio.

russia. he's now called a siberian ranch fox. they're really a breed of a silver fox. the objective was to breed a domesticated gene into the animal. the dog now acts like a dog. >> literally this is something that was intentional? >> it was intentional. >> did you put him near the hen house. >> i think he would enjoy a hen. i think a lot of dogs would, too. >> the fur is to soft. is this one of the fox's that winds up as a coat? >> unfortunately, i'm afraid it is. and that smell you're noticing, that's part of a cologne making product. >> what are you talking about? >> i'm not kidding you. there are a lot of co- they were bred for that purpose. the original purpose was to see if you could get this domesticated gene into a fox. they have since shut down that program. now we have thousands of these domesticated foxes. they can't be turned loose into the wild. >> they wouldn't survive. >> the problem is, they're mostly in siberia, russia,

still. there are a few being imported to the united states and these dogs are now being great ambassadors at different zoos. >> let me ask but one of the other animals. rory is here. >> he's here. >> we have a lion. >> lion cub. >> they're okay together like this? >> we're going to find out. >> tell me about rory. >> check out these spots. aren't they amazing? they're going to disappear. conner is making noise. >> he won't jump yet. >> will he really bite is the question. >> lay off my card! >> his paws are huge. >> and his teeth will be huge, too. we're not raising him to be a pet at all. he is going to end up going back into a zoo and being the alpha male in his breeding program. >> i know on "born free," elsa went back to and adjusted. >> and christian the lion did, too. he's eating your script.

good morning. today is wednesday, january 22. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. millions of americans waking up to snow-covered roads and plunging temperatures. the weather about to get worse. great. and talking terror, president obama and putin have a chat on the phone yesterday about the olympics. but can putin put aside his ego for the athletes' safety and the spectators' safety? we're going to report and you're going to decide which side is right. time is running out. she's accused of bashing "fox & friends," but ann coulter says that is not the case. we are going to ask her and she's going to answer only on "fox & friends" because "fox & friends," as far as we know, starts now. >> i'm bear grills, you're watching "fox & friends". >> did we just have a bear on? i don't think we did. that was the only thing we

you see over here. the commute yesterday during rush hour was absolutely disastrous. that's when the storm really picked up speed and caused a lot of bottlenecks. the problems spanning all the way from north carolina up here to new york. check out this crazy video of cars sliding out in the state of virginia. one death in maryland has been blamed on slick roadways. drivers aren't just getting caught in the terrible traffic and on the icy roadways. some are getting stranded, like this grandmother and her nine-month-old grandson. >> we tried going up this hill and my car decided to slide backwards. then we put it in reverse, it started going diagonally. >> airport travel, big problems. 2600 delays to report for you and 1500 cancellations alone today. check with your airline before trying to make your way out. back to you. >> all right. thank you very much. it's very, very cold there.

let's talk about the winter olympics. they're going to open up in a couple of weeks. we've been telling but the security concerns. remember, sochi, russia is in an area where terrorism is not uncommon and we told you yesterday about how the alert is. they're looking for a number of so-called black widows, women who have lost their husbands and now they feel like as revenge, they're going to try to blow themselves up and a bunch of tourists or athletes at the olympics. the president of the united states talked to the president of russia yesterday about how to keep things safe. also it sounds like the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff spoke to his counterpart. russia apparently is reaching out. they would like to use our technology that we developed in iraq and afghanistan to handle ieds along the road. they would like to use the equipment. it sounds like if it is requested, our guys would run it for them. >> here is the thing, when you see our lead law makers who know the most about intelligence and

homeland security come out and speak openly about their concern about these games without a political ax to grind or any gains to be made except for flat out concern, then you see the president of the united states pick up the phone and interact with putin. those two do not really get along. among those things were the dangers, possible dangers of the sochi olympics, being fully aware that two weeks ago, they pulled off a successful terrorist attack and they're just 500 miles from the sochi games. one of the western world's leading eastern world expert when is it comes to terror weighed in on the danger. >> this is a very serious threat just because the jihaddists are issuing those threats have actually enacted in moscow and many other places, have shown their capacity. the most important issue here is that they are local. some of them may have already been on the inside. that's what the russians are concerned about. they could have been staffers, police persons, workers in

subways. the problem is that they are linked to al-qaeda. those who did positiveston are linked to the jihadi organization and the caucuses. >> they say -- michael mccall said security standpoint, i believe the olympic village is very secure and fortified. outside of that, i cannot give any guarantees. >> restaurants, soft target. >> the idea that it could have been penetrated when speak of that ring of steel is disheartening for many. in particular, those who have family members there traveling for the games. we heard about one olympic athlete telling his family not to travel. tucker frederick, 29 years old. he told his family to stay home. not because he doesn't feel safe, he actually thinks being within the olympic village will allow for him to feel more safe, but he didn't want to have to worry about their safety outside of that. he's advising his mother and father, who have been to the games that he's participated in in the past, to stay home along with his wife. >> and the ice skating happens

in the cluster around the village, which is easier to patrol than the skiing and the sliding sports, which are out in the mountains. apparently, it was just about an hour and a half ago, it was revealed that apparently a couple of letters, threatening letters were sent to the teams from slovenia and hungary. the letters were written in russia. how bad is it? keep in mind, there are a number of american athletes who hired their own security on their own dime to make sure that while they're in russia, they're safe. >> sure. >> crazy. >> tourists being advised to carry their own emergency medical supplies. this is a situation that unfortunately is quite scary and getting more real by the minute. >> just think, putin wanted the world to look at russia and say look how they've come back after the soviet collapse. instead, the whole world is concerned that he hasn't done enough and it is ego perhaps that's preventing him from doing everything possible to keep our guys safe. that's the facebook question. go on and weigh in. we are actually interacting with

you. we'll write our names after our comments. as heather does on everything she says. >> of course. speak of sports, you're covering super bowl for us, is that right? >> next week, we'll be out there, wednesday, thursday, friday, unless it's cold. i refuse to go out in the cold. i will not go out in it's cold. i was told it will be 60 next week. >> all right. sounds like a lot of fun. good morning to you all. hope you're off to a great day. got some news. we have dramatic new video coming in to fox news of a deadly plane crash that took place in aspen, colorado. surveillance footage from the january 5 plane crash shows the plane hitting the runway and then bursting into flames. one of the three pilots on board that plane was killed. a preliminary report found wind gusts of nearly 30 miles per hour may have caused that crash. a big development to tell but in west virginia. the victims of that chemical spill may not get any money from the company, but the company responsible, freedom industries, getting $4 million in order to remain open. this is part of a bankruptcy

if you're on-line, you probably saw a report a couple days ago that said that ann coulter attacked "fox & friends," this show, for having, quote, conservatives who can't put two sentences together on the air. we never have conservatives on who can do that. that seemed odd. not exactly like the ann coulter we know, so here she is. what happened? >> she also wrote a book "never trust a liberal over three." you're promoting that book. >> yeah. i was attacking myself apparently. i guess they -- i was talking about -- i send out a tweet, it drives me crazy that they never have a half articulate conservative on and then --

which is okay, you're living in your world and saying crazy things, but then particularly rachel maddou and ed schultz are asking like these big republican players and no republican will argue with me. i was up at 3:00 a.m. one night and i see this thing from ed schultz saying, republicans are afraid to debate me. so i tweeted back, then put me on your show, you lying -- nothing wrong with the word i used. i know you're going to bleep me. but it's a sin number for pansy. i was commenting and i said, i don't care if they put me on. there are lots of smart conservatives. but they will not put a conservative who can put sentences together. >> how did it go from msnbc, which is what you were talking about, to "fox & friends" doesn't put any on? >> apparently it's not that exciting a headline to say ann coulter attacks msnbc. so they just flipped it to attacks herself.

you know what else would make a fantastic headline? ann coulter kills family of five. >> here is what's disconcerting for us. we do not get attacked. most of our press is positive. this was really disheartening to us. >> the interesting thing for me is how no one listens to the audios. everyone just believes the headlines. >> a little research would see it. we're glad we could talk about it with you face-to-face. >> it is frustrating -- compare it to fox -- i don't work for fox, as i said last time. i started the only tv network i ever worked for was msnbc. look at the fox liberals. geraldine ferraro, rest in peace. she was a democrat's vice presidential nominee. do not tell me she's not a serious democrat. bob beckel, i think he's a pain in the neck.

to fixate on stupid, irrelevant. like was she divorced at 18 or 21. who cares? no, the big lie is how she struggled up from single motherhood and living in a trailer, made it to harvard law school. no, she married a sugar daddy. as soon as he finished -- he raise -- while she went to law school at harvard, she leaves her kid, including one that didn't belong to him, behind in texas. he pays her tuition and as soon as the last tuition payment is paid, she said ironically she left the next day. >> she dumped him. >> the word is not ironic there. >> she says she should have been better about using details and stuff like that. she also says the attacks on her are from greg abbott. keep in mind -- >> wait, before you say this, she said, he should walk in my shoes! >> that's a sound bite right there. the thing about greg abbott -- >> he's a par paraplegicful here

she is saying, he needs to walk in my shoes. >> if bush said this about -- look at him, he's a handsome guy. he's done so much for himself. he's genuinely struggled to overcome being a paraplegic. if george bush or anyone said to someone in a wheelchair, he should walk in my shoes, everyone in america would know that. i mean, it's just so narcistic of this woman. >> are you saying there is a double standard in the media? >> it's an impactful race because if there is a democrat governor of texas, that will be the first shot that the democrats had. if -- >> she's a long shot. >> i think she's going to be a long shot now. to leave your kids behind, i think that's going to be -- she keeps saying my story is the story of all texas women. well, yeah, if you're anna nicole smith maybe. most women aren't going to say -- why couldn't she go to the university of texas law school? she leaves the kids, including the one that doesn't belong to the sugar daddy. he raised them. he supported them.

medicine favor relief to everyone there. is that correct? >> well, i don't know if i'm doing it single handedly. but i'm doing it with children from the ages of five to 11. kindergarten through eighth grade. the great thing is the confluence of people who are putting a mindful subset of practices inside of schools, medical facilities, businesses, organizations, corporate, it's really sweeping the world in knowing that we have to do something to reduce our stressors. >> so the hundred foundation is collaborating with aetna on mind for works. i did not know kids needed destressor. are kids more stressed out today? >> let me tell you something, we don't realize our kids are stressed. we think just 'cause they're kids, they're supposed to be happy. our children come with a myriad of problems, a lot of them. the reason we know is because

they're symptomatic things happening. disobedience, bullying, aggression, dropping out of school, depression, suicide, drugs being given over and over again because a child can't function. we're dealing with a.d.d., which literally we call it a.d.d., but it's an inability to focus. so we have to look at what are the systemic reasons why? what are the problems? these are symptoms. you can't keep treating the symptoms. >> great point. >> we're treating the problem. >> i was actually reading about a high school specifically that cut down their suspensions significantly after implementing meditation program. so that's a great thing that you're championing there. >> it is. i want to clarify that we have brain breaks informed our classrooms -- inside of our classrooms. we teach neural biology. we teach kids about context to their emotions. they learn how their brain works. when they quiet their mind three times a day, you can call it

meditation, quieting the mind, focusing, breathing. but whatever it is, they know that there is a neurological correlate to that actual activity. so that's how they learn to stress reduce, to manage their emotional construct, not to be reactive and ultimately to be more positive. so that's what we're doing. so when we talk about meditation, i've been meditating since 1972. it's extraordinary. i think we need to teach children how their brains work, put them back in the driver's seat and let them know they have a chance. >> that's great. congratulations. that's good work you're doing there. a lot of people to relax go to the movies. we see your daughter kate in the movies a lot. how about you? you've been off for a while. what are your plans? >> well, i'm coming back. i've decided to focus in on that. this has taken 12 years of my life and i tell you, i've never been happier and never felt that i have done something more

we were watching "overboard" over the weekend. and each time i expect her to wise up before she does. that curt russell is duping her into believing shah thank she's in a work class environment, when she really came from an upper class environment, having been tossed over by her very eclectic husband. >> great program. she is trying to get our kids to relax. thank you very much for joining us from davo, switzerland. >> bye. >> bye, everybody. >> that's the worst goldie hawn impression you've ever done. >> thank you. >> i think it's the first one i've ever done! >> it was terrible. i would like to imagine she does say good-bye to us. >> we were having a little problem with the satellite. there she is. she's waving. >> is she ever going to come in studio or do we have to go to switzerland? >> let's go to switzerland. >> i would love to go there just to get one of those knives.

technology to detect road side bombs, improvised explosive devices. it's incredible. now it's elevated up to the white house and the president is looking hard, hard at this issue. let's hear what you had to say yesterday at that. at finger football, i would attend simply because some principles are worth risking my life for. >> what's going on, though, here is another one from norman o'peel, why should we have faith in the state department now? have i missed a news alert saying they are competent finally? >> also somebody sent us an e-mail that says, i agree peter johnson, jr. athletes are not prepared to combat terrorism. u.s. needs to put american safety first from nancy lucas. and another e-mail, this is truly tough call. if our team goes, they may be placed in harm's way. if they stay home, the animals win. they should be allowed to go. however, the u.s. should provide

security that comes to us. >> what's happening is now there is an understanding, i believe at the white house, that they need to make an executive decision here to give guidance to the american people and to the american athletes, especially in light of the news now. we have hungary received an explicit terror threat. it is my belief that countries around the world who are participating in these olympics will receive these terror threats. and this will become a world wide challenge to terrorism. will the u.s. and russia take the lead in insuring that everyone is safe at the olympics? if we have the technology and we're willing to provide it and the russians are not willing to take it, the question becomes, should we be attending? one last e-mail, don't let the terrorists win by drumming up fears. it projects scared weakness instead of strength. be a part of the solution. don't feed the frenzy, says george in neptune beach, florida. i guess we have time for one more. as a mother, there is nothing more important than keeping my girls safe. if there is a planned attack and

while still reminding people what you sacrificed for the country? >> just like every other american, you grow up watching greats like rocky here and dreaming about being on that field. so this opportunity to be on the same field with them, even if it's flag football, but just kind of shows that life is not over. we still are a lot of ability left and just looking to rocky's story, i'm a better athlete -- >> you came back after the injury faster and quicker than before. >> that's right. just because of the focus and the time and in training techniques that weren't prevalent before that. so it's like anything else, you have an opportunity to do something and so you have to take advantage of that opportunity. >> also, when someone tells you you can't, i think it gives you another drive. >> yeah. you do it. >> what happened to you? >> i was blown up on thanksgiving night of 2004. road side bomb, ied. killed my gunner, ryan, from
