income inequality, immigration, minimum wage. last year he wanted to do background checks on -- >> wait, wait. >> nothing really got done. >> he said that stuff but they are broken promises. >> a bunch of boxes to be checked o. that is why abc's jonathan carl had questions for press secretary jay carney when it comes to what is going to come of this white house. take a listen. >> if you look at last year's state of the union address, the president made specific promises. raise the minimum wage, immigration reform, background checks for gun purchases. none of that happened. isn't this year only going to be harder? >> those were calls for action that involved congress. the president is very disappointed that the senate failed to heed the will of the vast majority of the american people when it came to expanding

of it in the fall, shouldn't you do it -- shouldn't you apologize for it in the winter if you want things to change? senator ted cruz on that? >> one of the things president obama ought to do is look in the tv camera and say to the over five million people in the country who had their health insurance canceled because of obamacare to look in the camera and say i'm sorry. >> a lot of times yesterday during his appearance on face the nation, bob schieffer was trying to get him to take responsibility for the government shutdown which was a big, stupid idea, you can tell in the tone of mr. schieffer, ted cruz wouldn't buy it. but if the president took senator cruz's advice and apologized for the rollout,

they would say mr. president, you're right. >> it would be only two words. shortest in his six. some thing that are not too short but important, heather nauert has some -- >> the problem with ted cruz pushing back is john boehner was on the tonight show and said it was the republicans' fault for the shutdown. anyone who says it wasn't the republicans fault or it might have been the republicans fault or it is the democrats fault, the speaker of the house threw that in the street to jay leno. >> ultimately the president said he would bring the two parties together. >> in 2008 we were naive kids. >> that was then. >> we were naive to believe that could happen. >> what were we saying about the headlines? >> we were saying something about heather. >> steve, great to have you back. >> thank you very much. as it turns out we're going to have highlights in 15 minutes. >> terrific. brian, you look like you were on vacation but i guess you were just on long island. you got a nice tan.

next month's winter olympics in sochi focuses on a security alert from the state department. americans athletes being

warned not to wear team u.s.a. gear outside the olympic venues. >> joining us right now is former secret service agent and author of "life inside the bubble," dan bongino, he was part of the security team in utah, worked with the president. dan, you are very concerned about our athletes and the tourists going to sochi. why? >> brian, these types of international games require international security response as well. this has been a silo, a security response by the russians and the russians alone which says to me either the plan is insufficient or they're really not concerned about the security. they're more concerned about the politics. >> are you comfortable with their methods should anything happen? >> excuse me. whose methods?

>> in terms of russia's special ops? >> no, i'm not. again, their primary concern is going to be politicians first, athletes second. think about it. you have spectators. you have tourists. they're going to be left out of this. my primary concern, having worked with the russians before, they tend to be very insulateed when it comes to their response. i think their first response will be to control media damage, not necessarily evacuation and security for spectators. >> you've done security response before, been to russia a couple of times. on top of that, they did a security dry run in russia. they did a test of sending 48 people. 25 got through. if you are determined to go and don't leave the so-called ring of steel, keep that in mind. so 48 got -- 48 went, 25 got through the ring of steel. >> sounds like a failure.

>> those people in the village who thought they might feel secure might have a reason to worry. >> i see this a lot too, brian and elisabeth. the confusing of access control with security. what do i mean? a ticket to a baseball game or football game san access control device but not a security device. there has to be training and understand the rules of engagement if someone shows up with a ticket that is not legitimate. i don't know if there was the necessary background training, how to read the magnetometers. >> if we want to see our athletes do well, should we be there? should we go? >> yeah. we should be demanding, not asking, for an international security audit right now. there is still time to fix this. i know it may sound crazy, but i put together a

security plan for the president in afghanistan in a war zone in less than two weeks. it can be done. a lot of guys have done the same. there is still time but we need to demand an international audit. our ability to have our people go and test it today or the holes are never going to be found. >> you've got that problem with the putin pride problem and his problem with the u.s. mike mccall said this yesterday. significantly, according to mccall, head of homeland security for the house, now we have the leaders of al qaeda, al-zawahiri from pakistan, calling for a global jihad against these olympics. noteworthy, but if you don't go here, you allow terrorists to intimidate us from almost every global competition. the world cup next, the super bowl around the corner. we don't hesitate. we are going back to the boston marathon this year. >> the difference between the boston marathon and super bowl, an appropriate scale security response was put together to be able to reason tkpwhreu guarantee

authorities are stumped but are not suspecting foul play. >> it's a story you heard here on "fox & friends." virginia farmers staged pitchfork protests in support of a fellow small farmer who was fined thousands of dollars each day for hosting a birthday party on her own land. now she's inspired lawmakers to try to amend virginia's law not only to help small farmers but also to stop the overregulation of farmers as well. joining us is that farmer martha. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let me take you back to 2012. you have a birthday party on your property right there at liberty farms which you own and operate. you're trying to do a nice thing for a friend and somebody, some nosey guy in your county looks and sees a picture on the facebook and next thing you know, you're in trouble. >> that is correct, yes, and threatened with thousands of dollars in fines per day. >> explain. you're having a birthday party. how do you get fined $5,000 a day?

>> well, my zoning administrator went on my facebook page and saw a birthday party picture with little girls on our family farm and also we had advertised pumpkin carvings in our pumpkin patch and i was found in violation for engaging in traditional activities and also for selling farm products like alpaca fiber and honey products. >> you are in the business of selling farm products and you get in trouble for selling farm products? >> that is correct. yes. >> that makes a lot of sense. what does it look like to you? why were they trying to crack down on you? when you state the facts out loud, they're absurd. >> that's a really good question. i'm in the process of litigation process. i hope and pray that we'll have a resolution soon. it's very hard to be a small family farmer.

i'm the youngest of three girls. i grew up in a family where my parents taught us if we work really hard we can be anything we want in life and i never dreamed in a million years that i would encounter so much red tape and miles and miles of regulations and permitting and all kinds of other requirements. >> as a former president of the future farmers of america, which i was way back in the day in kansas, it's hard breaking to hear you tell -- it's heart breaking to hear you tell that story about how the government has so many regulations now they're squeezing many families out of the family farm business. >> absolutely. it is heart breaking. as you know and as we all know, once we lose our small family farms, they are gone forever. as a society, a community we need to do everything we can to help ensure and guarantee they can be profitable and make ends meet and continue to stay on the family farm. >> once your story got out there and some of the folks who helped publicize your plight, there were a number

of pitchfork protests. thousands of virginians said you can't do this. now we understand there are two bills on the legislature in virginia that would protect you? >> it has been an incredible blessing, the outreach from the commonwealth and nation. i'm grateful and i say that on behalf of so many. there are two pieces of legislation, one which protects traditional farming and agricultural practices against overregulation on the county level and house bill 1219 which provides for remedies so that when a county engages in overregulation and exceeds authority there are remedies in place so a family farmer or any businessperson or anybody who has property doesn't have to be forced out of business or off their land trying to defend themselves. >> we hope you get relief. unfortunately you're still on the hook to the county for $2 million. we've been following this from the get go and women continue to -- following this

from the get go and will continue to the end. we did e-mail the county looking for a statement and did not get a response. looking for an american flag and pay. the toughest sherrif in america dishing out pun ishment. the president says unemployment pay boosts the economy but that man says he is wrong. happy birthday to country singer tracy lawrence. he's 46. ♪ ♪ ♪ ho ho ho

case for it as well. independent economists have shown extending unemployment insurance helps the economy, actually creates new jobs. >> but do these jobless benefits really create jobs? stuart varney is here with details. >> i say no backed up by an academic study of what happened in north carolina. in that state they reduced the time you can get unemployment benefits and they reduced the level of unemployment benefits. the unemployment rate went down. more people flooded back into the labor force. the number of active workers went out. >> as soon as their benefits ran out, they got a job. >> the president says you've got to flood the economy with money, whether food stamps or whatever. and you will create jobs. a north carolina study suggests the exact opposite. there's a lot of politics involved here. the president, as you saw, is making the case that if you don't extend unemployment benefits, a lot of people are hurting,

you are harsh, you are being nasty to people. you're harsh. that's a political point of view designed to make the republicans who are saying no to extending unemployment benefits, make them look harsh. that's pure politics. >> good guy, bad guy here. what about incentives? in north carolina incentives played a major role. >> take what you can get because it is a job. it may not be the job you want but take it and get yourself off unemployment. >> you know what i would say? it didn't come up in the study. if you told me i lost my job and i have unemployment for six months, nine months, i can plan accordingly. i can plan a strategy. of course you want a job the next day but you know in the back of your head they will keep extending it. i've got two years, two and a half years. >> what's the rush? >> it is a trap. now you get food stamps and

extended unemployment benefits. if you take a job you lose some of those benefits. extending benefits constantly is bad for the economy. and also it points out the underlying failure of the president's policies to create jobs. >> you should have your own show. in fact you do at 9:20, varney and company on the fox business network. >> i want to be named new jersey man of the year. not going to happen. >> we'll see what happens. back to your original topic. kramer vs. kramer, remember dustin hoffman had to get a job because he wanted his son? >> that's what you remember about the movie? >> you split an infinitive. what is wrong with your grammar? >> thank you, stuart. coming up, we are less than a week away from super bowl xlviii and both teams just touched down in new jersey.

tensions with the soviets. he went the other way. he said no. this is an evil empire and we're going to win the cold war. that's what we did. he stood his ground. a great quote from ronald reagan. steve: i want -- >> i want to move to 1996, president clinton. >> the era of big government is over. >> yeah. you know, the first half of clinton's presidency was a bit more liberal and progressive. he tried to pass universal health care, raised taxes. he realized that was the wrong move. he moderated and became much more centrist and declared the era of big government is over, probably the most iconic statement from his presidency. the first half was more moderate than his first four years. >> speaking of the strength of our nation was president george w. bush.

>> mr. speaker, vice president cheney, members of congress, distinguished guests, fellow citizens, as we gather tonight, our nation is at war, our economy is in recession, and the civilized world faces unprecedented dangers. yet the state of our union has never been stronger. >> kind of brings back some chills there. >> it does. probably the most dramatic it essentially said our economy iswe're on wounded knees. but we've never been stronger. i say that along with the axis of evil makes it the most important relevant state of the union in modern memory. >> we thank you for joining us this morning walking us through history as we approach tomorrow night's state of the union. have a great day. >> thank you. coming up, tight new gun laws in california not only infringing on people's second amendment, it's also driving out business like smith & wesson.

and you'd like to see this country be able to get along. we've been hearing so much in terms of rhetoric and it's all talk. it's no action. so i'm certainly not counting on much. >> you know what? at last year's state of the union address, he promised immigration reform, increase the minimum wage and gun control, which interestingly enough, died in the democrat-controlled senate. so last year he kind of whiffed, didn't get a lot done. the people at the white house said you got to be less like a prime minister, where you're elected by fellow lawmakers and more like a president. >> i think that's right. the country is in trouble. there is no question. even if you look at afghanistan, the way they treat us, like little children. we have an agreement. it's done. karzai goes around saying get out of our country, get out. and we're the ones that put him there. it's amazing when you see what's happening with this country and

so from his speech, it will be another political speech and it's not going -- i don't think it's going to be very relevant. it's going to be something we're going to sit back. we're going to watch and we're going to hope. but there is not much hope. >> what's so interesting is when bill clinton lost congress, that was almost his green light to go get things done and go compromise. george bush lost congress, he compromised, got a lot of people angry on the right and on the left, but he compromised 'cause that's reality. so the president could do small things on immigration reform. he could get together on some type of infrastructure if he sought to restructure our tax system. evidently there is a bipartisan agreement on some tax reform that he could get behind. he could start building on some successes and actually make it more -- better prospects for his midterm election this fall. >> brian, he could do a lot of things, but it's not in his nature. it wasn't something that -- it's incredible. if you look at what's going on, it's incredible. look at unemployment in the country.

what you really should be talking about during this speech is jobs. the jobs are fleeing this country, they're leaving. they're going to other countries. that's what he should be talking about is making the country strong again economically, bringing the country back because it's just the opposite. when you bring the country back, that helps social security. that helps medicare. that helps medicaid. and all of the things that they want to cut, that helps these things. it makes them viable again. but our country is going in the wrong direction. our unemployment picture -- you saw that last week, it was incredible. when the numbers were announced, i was watching some pretty major economists, if there is such a thing, to be honest with you -- 'cause it's a guessing game. but i was watching these guy, they werwhen they looked at the. they couldn't believe how bad they were. >> because people are dropping out of the work force. >> well, what we have to do is we have to be focused on the country, on jobs, on bringing jobs back to this country, and

on getting along and making deals with people. just getting along. getting along with the republicans and getting along even with democrats who are really abandoning obama now because i've seen where they don't even want him to come into their states. obamacare is going to be a disaster and obamacare is going to lead to a tremendous republican resurgence. it's very interesting what's happening. two months ago we were talking that the republicans were in trouble. now all of a sudden, people are predicting amazing things. i'm not saying good, bad or indifferent. i'm saying obamacare is a total disaster. it's imploding. >> some are saying he should come out and apologize when it comes to obamacare. because lot of people are concerned that the action that everyone wants to have take place, the method by which the president is going to go about things is a little scary right now. he's going to bypass congress with or without them? listen to what dan pheiffer, seenor advisor, about what to expect.

>> i think we need to show the american people we can get something done, either through congress or on our own. what they want are answers. they're out there working hard, building their businesses, showing up to work every day, playing by the rules, they expect the same from washington. >> with or without congress? either that's an ultimatum -- >> my way or the highway. >> how do you feel about that? >> there has never been anything like it, elisabeth. there has never been a time like this. there is no communication whatsoever. there is no leadership. if there were leadership, he'd grab everybody, get them in a room and make a deal. you lock the door and make a deal. you get something done. instead he's going to use something that's almost unthinkable, when you think he's going to do this, this would have been unthinkable four years ago or two years ago. this is going to happen perhaps because there is no leadership. there is no work. there is no getting together and let's make a deal, let's look good to everybody. including the world, by the way, where we look like a bunch of jerks. this is something that could

happen. >> and the interesting thing is, he got elected because he promised he would change the tone in washington and now the tone has never been icier. >> it's never been worse. >> when are you going to decide if you're running for governor, especially in light of what andrew cuomo said, telling conservatives to hit the road? >> that was a terrible statement and i told the republican party, if they unify, which is unlikely because they don't have good leadership at the top. but if they unify, i would do it. i would win. new york needs somebody. it needs some strength and needs somebody fast. but if they unify, i will -- will they unify? probably not. new york has been a disaster for years for the republicans. >> all right. if they do, you're in and you'll win. you heard it here first. all right. donald trump, thank you very much. >> so long. >> see you after the super bowl next monday. coming up, several gun companies, including smith & wesson, refusing to sell guns. what the heck is going on? those details coming up. and want to make your wife happy? it's simple.

new creamy alfredo soup. inspired by perfection. tighten new gun laws in california are supposed to help law enforcement trace bullets back to the bad guys. but instead, it's driving out businesses like smith & wesson. so what's really going on? joining us with his take is firearm attorney representing the national rifle association in california and the author of "california gun laws," chuck

michelle. thanks very much for joining us at 4:15 out there in los angeles. >> it's a bit early. thanks for having me. given that the legislature is in session as a second amendment lawyer, i don't sleep very well anyway. a pleasure to get up for you. >> i know you're snot sleeping well over this micro stamping. they're asking gun manufacturers to make sure they micro stamp a bullet. what is that and what does that do? >> micro stamping is a laser etching process that etches tiny little numbers, microscopic numbers on to parts of a firearm, most notably the firing pin so that when a semiautomatic pistol is fired, the theory is that those numbers will be transferred onto a cartridge case of ammunition and when the cartridge case is ejected from the semiautomatic pistol, those little microscopic numbers can be recovered by police at a

crime scene and traced back to the gun and ultimately in theory traced back to the shooter. the problem is that the process doesn't work. never mind you would have to create all these databases and collect all this information to connect those dots back to a shooter. the actual micro stamping, the imprinting technology does not work. we've got a study, national academy of sciences study, lots of peer reviewed studies and even the inventer of the technology concluded that this is not a process that's ready for prime time. >> sure. >> it's not surprising that manufacturers are refusing to spend millions of dollars they'd have to spend to incorporate it into their manufacturing process. >> sure. that's one of the reasons smith & wesson is getting out of california. not going to sell those particular kinds of guns there. but you say that if it were to go into effect there in california, it would be really easy for the bad guys to get around this.

>> yeah. it's a simple process. first of all, the little microscopic etchings wear off, just from normal wear and tear on the firearm. and you can replace a firing pin very easily. barring that, criminals aren't real smart, but you don't have to be very smart to figure out that all it takes to take those little numbers off is a file. i got this at a hardware store for 1.99 yesterday. that's all it takes to defeat micro stamping technology, just file those numbers off. >> some have said out there in california, they wanted an outright ban and they couldn't get it. so this is the next best thing. what do you say to that? >> yeah. this is exactly that. california is the petry dish for ill-conceived gun control laws. they never met a gun control law they didn't like. politicians love opportunities to restrict the people's rights to be able to choose to own the most effective gun for self-defense or for sport and this is just the latest effort

to restrict the ability to choose a firearm for those reasons. >> right. >> the biggest problem now -- >> you just touched on the thing right there. it becomes a personal safety thing. how are people going forward going to defend their families in some cases? >> exactly. you're deprived of that choice. it's worse than people expected, including the gun manufacturers because originally we thought it would only apply to guns made after 2014. but it turns out that the state regulators have decided that under the law, even models that were made before 2014, if they have any minor little improvement, and manufacturers routinely make little refinements and improvements to their model gun, even though they don't change the model number, but the regulators say that constitutes a new model and so has to be retested and reapproved to be sold. they can't be approved to be sold unless they have micro stamping. hundreds of guns have fallen off the list of guns that are approved to be sold in this

state and hundreds more are going to in the coming weeks. there is going to be a problem with all the manufacturers because they all do those little refinements. and it -- >> it's going to be where people won't be as safe and that's a problem. chuck, we thank you very much for joining us today from los angeles with your file. thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> what do you think about that? e-mail us. great, right? meanwhile, it's the blog post that's lighting up the internet. one woman says kids and marriage are nothing to celebrate and stay at home moms don't work as hard. she crazy? she over the line? a fair and balanced debate is coming up next. then talk about cool under pressure. >> listen to him. >> the baby. >> hi, baby. a father delivers his own baby in the driveway!

>> i'll hop in here. i think that -- i don't necessarily subscribe to exactly they have gone that this woman has said. the best part is she received over 2,000 comments on the web. she had a follow-up. somebody else wrote an article about how a working woman needs to have family and have children and so the best part of this community and this environment that we're in and this country that we're in is that we can have this kind of debate and talk about it this morning. i don't understand why people are so upset and mad. >> betsy, why are people so upset? >> her blog post was so con descending and so angry. i'm with tamara, i'm not really worried about a big parade forming any time soon, but there is a growing attack on marriage, on the value of it, particularly for women. i think that's what this speaks to. i say women should make whatever choice is right for them. but let's be well informed. some of the things that come into play when talking about marriage and children particular are

fertility rates. a woman's fertility peaks in her 20s and goes down in her early 30s and plummets typically after the age of 35. but doctors will tell you they are terrified to bring this up with their patients because it's politically incorrect. why not give women good information to help them make good choices? >> just because your fertility rate is dropping doesn't mean you have to get married. i think that this woman brings out or this blogger brings out a very important statement and that's that we don't celebrate certain things like a woman getting a job promotion or hiking through the grand canyon or whatever other -- >> that's ridiculous! >> we celebrate baby shower and a wedding shower and that's pretty much it for women. >> no. that is absolute bologna. i've always felt celebrated as a mother and wife. >> what other celebrations have you had? do you have celebration when you wrote your book? >> i had terrific book parties when i had my book. people celebrated that. i think there were more people there then at my baby showers.

so what? you can have it all. you might not be able to have it all at the same time. tamara, i'm not talking about telling women what they have to do. i'm talking about empowering them with information so they can make wise choices. fertility is just one of them. it's also the fact that married women statistically speaking, tend to be healthier, happier, even more financially secure than their single or separated sisters. that's not universal -- >> and divorced -- >> that is wildly skewed. that is wildly skewed. one interesting fact that human research -- >> i just want to thank you both. this is a heat debate. it has over 6,000 hits on-line. women are going back and forth. can't we just all get along? we thank you both for your perspective. everyone, facebook, tweet us, e-mail us, moms out there. let us know what you're thinking about these comments. coming up in other news, is russia promising the olympics will be safe? because new report reveals a

>> so we know what this week is. a lot of debate about the debt ceiling, yesterday on the sunday shows. but as far as the big story, it will be the president's state of the union. many say this is his last consequential report because after this, it's let's look at the next person. let's look at 2016. do you agree there is pressure to produce something, an action plan? >> yeah, there is. because it is the last really bite at the apple to get congress to move his agenda forward that arguably has been stalled. you see that frustration in some of the things the administration has been saying. to hear them use the words practical, realistic about this state of the union address suggests how limited he may be in moving congress to get a big ball across the finish line. that said, there are some things that potentially could still happen on his list and that's immigration reform. house republicans are going to take that up and they may be able to get some piecemeal kind

of legislation. not a comprehensive deal like we saw in the senate. >> that's on tap for them this week. ted cruz, i want you to listen to this. he thinks there is something special that the president should say. take a listen. >> one of the things president obama really ought to do is look in the tv camera and say to the over 5 million americans all across this country who had their health insurance canceled because obamacare, to look in the camera and say i'm sorry. >> objectively speaking, what are the chances much that happening? >> zero. i don't think it will be like he says. there will be some focus on health care. clearly it's his number one legislative achievement from the administration's perspective and there will be some focus. i doubt it will be a lot of the speech and there will be an effort to try to get congress to move things forward. but we've already heard that there is also going to be this executive action kind of theme, that if you don't do it, i will. it's kind of a delicate

rhetorical dance to say i'll do it alone, but i need you on a couple big things. >> there is an item in -- i'm sure you've either read it or will read it in the "washington post" today that says that dan pheiffer circulated a memo, kind of a postmortem of the last year and said one of the problems is the president acted more in the past year like a prime minister who is selected by his fellow politicians rather than as a president. so going forward, he's going to try to do more with that phone and the pencil -- rather the pen. but what's interesting is, he's going to make these announcements in front of congress, which he effectively is saying, i'm going to go around you. sorry, guys, and gals. >> yeah. and that's tough. listen, it's also a midterm election year. so you've got this message that i'm going to cooperate. i need you to cooperate with me, but you guys aren't getting it done, so i'm going to go around you with this pen and phone. how much you can get done with the pen and phone is really in

question. you can effect things on the outskirts. some presidents in their second term used executive actions to success. but on the big ticket items like tax reform, like unemployment benefits, you need congress to weigh in. >> and he's also working on tax reform. they're making some progress, i understand, in the house and senate on some tax reform. i can't believe he wouldn't embrace that. >> yeah. there are a lot of things. if you talk to democrats and republicans up on the hill, that they say the same things. they say we want this to happen and it's roughly the same sentence. but when you push comes to shove, the politics of this place, there is always some kind of hinge. there is always something tied to it and it doesn't make it across. >> the white house is hash tagging the state of the union. they're having some sort of limited access that people can kind of get in, everyday americans, following them. is this a response to the charge from the "new york times" that

there is a lack of transparency? >> well, i don't think if you asked reporters who cover the white house full time, every day that they would say that this is the most transparent administration in history, as they once claimed to be. there is a back and forth almost every day in the white house briefing room between jay carney and reporters on this very issue. >> so jill abramson, the editor there, said it's the most secretive ever that she's ever covered, which is ironic because maybe there is an argument that part of the "new york times" very favorable coverage allowed them to get away with it to this point and now they're realizing the monster they created. >> that's right. bret, you were talking about the back and forth in the briefing room. yesterday there was some back and forth over on abc, jonathan consumer versus jay carney on transparency. listen. >> you covered white houses as a reporter for time magazine, so would jay carney, reporter, correspondent, bureau chief for

time magazine be satisfied with the level of openness and transparency of this white house? >> jay carney reporter would never be satisfied with the amount of information that any white house or any congressional -- >> so jay carney would fight with jay carney? >> what i would tell you is you and your colleagues, my former colleagues in the precious absolutely have to be beating on us and others around washington to get as much information as you can. i strongly disagree with that statement. i know from experience it's wrong. and we provide an extraordinary amount of information and abscess to reporters and we work every day to provide more. >> all right. so there you got jay carney saying he would fight with jay carney. >> yeah. i think if you look back at his history as a reporter, he would fight with jay carney. and listen, there is a frustration in the white house press corps about access, about transparency and the "new york times" weighing in is probably positive to that cause. >> we know, everyone has an

invisible friend, it's usually not you. >> brian has a giant bunny that was just on tv. >> exactly. so no longer incredible. we're going to watch you tonight at 6 on "special report." >> that sounds good. see you then. >> thank you very much. talking in third person is trending, right, heather? >> funny. oh, boy. daley show will have a good time with that one. good morning. we're following news that's happening overseas. fox news alert. the government of afghanistan letting the first 37 out of 88 prisoners considered dangerous prisoners walk free. four of them took part in attacks that killed 42 americans and also coalition troops. they've been released even though the afghan justice system did not review these case. u.s. officials are condemning the move, calling it a major step back. this release has been a big sticking point between the two sides as they struggle to hammer out a security deal. a nightmare vacation ending two days early for passengers on

board a royal caribbean cruise ship. more than 600 people getting violently ill just days into their vacation. now the explorer of the seas, the name of the ship, will dock in new jersey on wednesday. health officials boarded that ship yesterday in saint thomas. they're expecting test results to determine what this illness is. it has symptoms that are similar to the noro virus. royal caribbean will compensate passengers for their inconvenience. oh, boy. and the white house, of course they say the web site is working well. don't tell that to 71% of people who have reported problems with it. that is according to a new poll by the associated press. among those who have signed up just 8% say that the site works well. 53% said it didn't work well at all. the administration reported on friday that 3 million people signed up for it. that's short of their goal of 7 million. congratulations to steve doocy. he was just named distinguished kansan of the year by kansas

00,000 strong. trying to really about three years ago, all said it was going to be a blemish on our record here in wisconsin. what we found is it took tough, bold decisions, but they've paid off. the economy is better, budget is balanced. we've got a pension that's the only one fully pushed in america. and we've been able to generate a surplus because our budget measures are working and now we want to keep it rolling. our plan is if we get it passed, we will have provided some $2 billion in tax relief. we want more people to grow and more people to come to wisconsin. congratulations. you've got a $1 billion budget surplus even though they predicted you were $3 billion short. meanwhile, the president of the united states is giving his state of the union tomorrow night. ted cruz suggested the president
