tomorrow's show, dan marino is coming on. >> fantastic. >> and after the show, katie & company are going to be performing black dress. >> it is a good one. log on to foxandfriends.com for after the show show. see you soon. president obama will lay out his vision for what he calls new action in tomorrow's state of the union. and he is warning republicans if they do not act he will. good morning, everybody. going to be an interesting week. i'm bill hemmer and welcome to "america's newsroom." good morning, martha. martha: good morning, everybody. i'm martha maccallum. the white house unleashing its top advisors on sunday shows yesterday morning with basically a singular message. the president will use executive action to further his agenda if congress doesn't get on board. >> the president sees this as a year of action, to work with congress where he can and to bypass congress where necessary to lift folks who want to come up into the middle class.

>> the president will say to the country he is not going to wait. he has a pen and phone. he will use those to move the ball forward to create opportunity. bill: republicans say quickly that congress can not be ignored. here is senator rand paul from kentucky on this. >> it sound vaguely like a threat and has a certain amount of arrogance one of the fundamental principles is checks and balance. it wasn't supposed to be easy to pass legislation. you had to debate and could convince people. bill: byron york, chief political correspondent "washington examiner" and fox news contributor. >> good morning, bill. bill: climate change, immigration, income inequality, you tick them all off, exactly what does the president want to do? >> this whole initiative is based in the president's frustration. if you go back in the year the president delivered a ambitious inaugural address and pledged to do immigration reform. pledged to do climate change and

gun control which was a big issue. none of this stuff has happened. the president realize it is will be very hard to do that without congress and he has come up with a bunch of smaller measures that could perhaps help create jobs. he will announce a initiative for example, dealing with big companies who would pledge not to discriminate against people who have been unemployed a very long time when hiring people. those people often lost some of their skills and are more difficult to reemploy. he will come up with lots of doable things like that. tell congress, challenge them to act on it, if you don't do it, i will do it myself. bill: dan pfeiffer said specifically, quote, we need to show the american people that something can get done. a little of that reflects the poll numbers lately. you have to show that you can get something done. the question is whether or not you can push something forward. >> a lot of that reflects the poll numbers. we know the president's pole numbers, job approval is underwater, down 10 points from this time last year.

don't underestimate the effects of the disasterous rollout of obamacare. a lot of republican strategists believe not only the president's faith, excuse me the public's faith in the president getting anything done as far as health care, they believe it diminish the public's faith to do anything. that is what the president is working against right now. bill: just one more point right now, state of the union, huge audience, you could argue this will be his biggest audience of the year, not being able to foretell what will happen later in 2014 but given the things you just mentioned there, byron, will republicans try and stop him and if so -- >> they haven't yet. the president took a lot of action unilaterally on environmental climate change last year. the republicans haven't done anything. the president took action on immigration reform, on illegal immigrants who came into the country as children. he has done things before that the republicans have not tried to stop him. the remember the president said i've got a phone and a pen. john boehner speak of the house,

said there is the constitution too. he is trying to go over congressional authority but unless the congress challenges him, the president can do these things. bill: byron york in washington. martha. martha: executive orders is nothing new. the president is not the only executive to take advantage of these. look at some of the numbers on this front. so far president obama issued 167 executive orders but he still has three years left in office. look at president george w. bush and how many he instituted. 291 over the course of his two terms. president clinton issued 364 over eight years. so they like the pen. in the oval office and they use it a lot. one of the orders could be on amount of money the white house can spend as nation's credit card is almost maxed out and the government would like to borrow a little more. a little extension on the old

credit card. the president wants an increase in debt ceiling without conditions. basically a blank check. but senate minority leader mitch mcconnell telling chris wallace this weekend that such a move would be irresponsible in his view. >> we're in the sixth year of the obama economy, more spending, more borrowing, more debt, more regulation. we're anxious to help him create jobs but we'll not go over and endorse more spending, more debt and more taxes and more regulation. martha: there you have it. stuart varney host of "varney & company" joins me now. stuart, what do you think this debate over the debt ceiling which we've been through several times between this administration and this congress, what's it going to look like this time? >> let's outline the two sides. number one, the president as you said, martha, he wants a blank check. we need a lot of extra money. we need to borrow a ton more money so we can pay the bills congress has run up and he wants no strings attached. make it a clean deal, no, no special sideline deals, just

pass it, give him the authority to borrow money without any strings attached. on the other side the republicans are saying we're not going to ever default on our debt, but we do want to reduce our spending in the future so that we reduce our borrowing in the future. that is the strings which they wish to apply to the deal which the president doesn't want any strings at all. those are two sides, blank check versus strings attached. martha: stuart, i can swear i remember in previous conversation that is it was, just give us a clean bill this time and then let's get together and talk about things that can be cut, right? that is what they always say. we need it this way, completely clean, no strings attached. down the road we'll talk about tax reform, we'll talk about cutting the debt but it never happens. >> yes. martha: so what are these strings that the republicans are asking for this time? >> one possible string comes from senator marco rubio. he is introduced legislation which would ban any bailout of the insurance companies under

section 1342 of the obamacare law. the insurance companies can be bailed out if they're not bringing in enough money. it is possible that the republicans will say, all right, you can have the extra money, mr. president but you will not get a bailout of the insurance companies. and that, martha, may be politically popular. martha: it might be, politically popular. i can't imagine the president saying that he would go alongwith it but we'll see. stuart, thank you. we'll see you later. bill: a lot more on our show throughout the day here, with a big monday lineup for you. senator john barrasso on economy. karl rove on whether or not the president can get anything done now. brit hume is what rand paul is calling the president's arrogant oath h oaf reach. that is in the next our and 52 minutes. we're covering the state of the union, coverage at 8:55 p.m. eastern time. martha: this is crossing. tray raid dill, a florida

congressman who was charged with cocaine possession is resigning. he first congressman pleaded guilty to cocaine possession. he pleaded to one year probation. he came back from the rehab stint and new man. apologized to house colleagues and constituents and his family. he was profoundly sorry. he returned to work after he left the rehab. troubling time it appears for trey raid dell. bill: another fox news alert. u.s. targeting a suspected militant leader with links to al qaeda and al-shabaab. u.s. intel assessing bomb damage to determine if the leader was either killed or wounded in that strike. government will not confirm if anyone was killed yet. the state department classifies al-shabaab as terrorist organization comprised of a band of militia insurgents from al qaeda.

we'll give you update. meantime, is it getting ridiculous yet? more arctic air blasting the country bringing dangerous windchills to the midwest and northeast. in the dakotas it could be minus 60. mercury dropping like a rock for so many millions of others. some states are struggling to get above zero. it is like minus 10 in places like indiana, ohio. real temperature, minus 10. ongoing cold leading to shortage of propane gas in 30 states. that's what you do not want. state of emergency declared for many. garrett tenney is live in sheridan, illinois, outside minus 21 with the windchill. garrett, how is it going? >> reporter: you feel every bit of that negative 21 degrees. we have a couple inches still on the ground. this propane shortage, bill, as you mentioned, more than 30 states are affected by this so far. more than 14 million people across the country use propane to heat their homes.

additionally, one million businesses also use propane to heat their homes. many are farms who use propane to keep the cattle and rest of their livestock warm all throughout the winter. this shortage is really affecting people throughout the midwest, southeast and up through the northeast. these are the big propane tanks they have. typically the trucks come up, fill up with these and go house to house and fill up people's propane tanks, but with this shortage that has not been happening quite the same as it normally would. prices hit highest levels due to this shortage since 1990. you know, around one to two dollars a gallon all the way up to 4, $5 a gallon now. people at their homes they are really feeling this as well. and states, they are asking people at home to try to conserve their use of the propane as the shortage continues. but with this other big wave of cold, frigid air moving through, that will be really hard for a lot of people to do, bill. bill: indeed it will be.

garrett, thanks, stay warm somehow, some way. garrett tenney, outdoors, sheridan, illinois, what do you think? i mean -- martha: it is freezing. bill: we're not the kind of people who complain it is just on and on. martha: we're going to get relief in time for super bowl. bill: at the end of the this week. not tonight and not tomorrow and not wednesday. martha: no. too cold. too cold. bill: hang in there. martha: freezes inside of your nose. not a good thing. all right you heard about this story over the weekend, terrible one with mayhem at a mall on a busy weekend a gunman who was armed to the teeth opened fire. what police are saying about the shooter and now, about a possible motive. bill: chris wallace with cutting questions for a top obama advisor on the state of the american economy you. >> talk about restorying median household income is down. labor force participation is down. food stamps are up. poverty rate is up.

if things are so great how come they're so lousy? bill: his answer to that and reaction from republican senator john barrasso next. martha: 11 days to go until the olympics. the security situation is so alarming, mike mccall, the house chair of the homeland security committee saying the idea of america canceling and not going should be on the table in his opinion. the chances that could happen as we hear from the former chairman of the house homeland security committee, new york congressman peter king on that. >> they may feel safe. they may feel secure. wander off or where some indicator of that they're from the u.s. and leave themselves open as a target. this is dangerous situation. hopefully things will work out but it is nowhere near ideal. be a victim of fraud.

fraud could mean lower credit scores and higher interest rates when you apply for a credit card. it's a problem waiting to happen. check your credit score, check your credit report at experian.com.

>> big factor. waters in new jersey. and people on the dole. all on tonight's factor we'll see you then. martha: a mall in maryland will reopen today, two days after a deadly shooting. on saturday a gunman opened fire inside a skateboard shop, skilling two store workers and

wounding a third person before he took his own life. the shooter is identified as 19-year-old darian marcus aguilar. his motive remains a mystery. >> we have still more interviews to do. we have no known relationship between the victim, victims and our shooters. martha: bloodshed could have been far worse as investigators reveal he was carrying a bag full of homemade explosives. >> median household income is down, labor force participation is down. food stamps are up. poverty rate is up. if things are so great how come they're so lousy? >> i think we've made tremendous progress but there is much more work to do. that is what the president always said that the american businesses, american workers are doing the right thing. bill: chris wallace with some strong questions for top white house advisor dan five on the

state of the -- dan pfeifer. on the state of the economy. he my next guest has his own ideas what the president needs to tell americans. senator john barrasso, senate public policy committee. welcome back to "america's newsroom." >> thanks for having me. bill: i read the piece you wrote in the "washington times." you say a number of things, frankly. you say this with, lame duck status looming the president has a choice to make. what's that choice? >> well, americans are concerned about their jobs, their finances, their quality of life and, the president can continue to do what he is trying to do to go around congress or actually work with congress in a bipartisan way. i offered three things that this administration could actually get through congress right away to put americans back to work. one is approve the keystone xl pipeline. 62 senators, republicans and democrats alike support it. every governor along the route sports it. and yet the president has not worked with congress or with our allies in canada to approve that

it is time to get off the dime and get that done now. bill: keystone was one thing you described. regulatory policies on behalf of the epa is another thing where you think it is causing businesses to slow down instead of speed up. also repealing the medical device tax. of those three, do you think any of them happen? >> well, they ought to all happen. you know the regulations coming out of the epa specifically on the day of the 50th anniversary of the war on poverty, which is going to hurt quality of life for americans, hurt, put people out of work and it's one of the reasons now view the government as their adversary instead of their ally or advocate. and with the medical device tax that will drive more jobs overseas and hurt our innovation as americans in terms of health care. as part of the health care law. bill: i understand the argument but do you think you get movement on any of three of those things or any one of those

three? >> 79 senators support repealing the medical device tax. harry reid won't bring it up for a vote in the senate because he is doing the bidding of president obama who is so dug in on the health care law, he won't allow the good idea with bipartisan support to advance. this is the problem we're dealing with. it's a shame for our country we have a president who is viewed now as untrustworthy and incompetent. americans don't believe he will make the ride decisions for the country. this head material outlines -- editorial out linings things we can do in a bipartisan way. bill: many americans have not seen their careers, their finances or quality of life improve even though the economic recession ended four years ago. you look at the poll we put out last thursday. we asked this, for your family does it feel like the recession is over? a whopping 74% believe the country or at least they and

their family condition is still in a recession. wow! >> we are a strong and resilient nation. we will get through this i think the president needs to admit finally this is his economy. he continues to blame a previous administration. that doesn't help our country. we all want to grow the economy. the president seems to want to divide the pieces of the pie. i want to grow the whole pie, get more people back to work, more taxpayers out there contributing working. you know and i know, bill, that a job is so important for an individual in terms of the way they view themselves, their dignity, their self-worth. and the president wanting to send out more unemployment checks or raise a minimum wage, people of wyoming are not looking for checks. they're looking for jobs, career, opportunities. equal opportunity, not equal outcome. bill: thank you. appreciate your time today. john barrasso, republican from

wyoming, thanks. >> thanks, bill. martha: talk about a nightmare cruise. we'll tell you what docked this royal caribbean ship. oh, next. bill: also a 30-year-old dead after waiting eight hours in an emergency room? what happened here? the full story coming up this morning. [ male announcer ] wt d of energy is so abundant, it can help provide the power for all th natural gas. ♪ more than ever before, america's electricity is generated by it. exnmobil uses advanced visualization and drilling technologies to produce natural gas... powering our lives... while reducing emissions by up to 60%. energy lives here ♪

martha: well "the love boat" it's not, folks. the vacation on the high seas has taken a nasty turn. reports of more than 600 people suffering from some kind of a stomach illness on a royal caribbean crews ship. the ship is docked in the u.s. virgin islands. health officials are on board to see if they can find out what is going on. this is second incident of illness hitting cruise ships very hard. last year there were nine outbreaks.

what is going on here? manny alvarez, foxnewshealth.com and member of the medical a-team. you say cruise ships are like petri dishes. that sounds inviting. >> these things are built larger and larger. 3, 4, 5,000 people coming in from all points of entry. these boats stop in different ports and basically takes one person or person zero. the norovirus which i think might be the thing going on here which is a very common virus. it is highly infectious. instantly you get one, then you get 20, 20 becomes 40, 40 becomes 60. before you know it you have 600 people. martha: you can not get off the ship. >> you can not get off. highly contagious. martha: don't they clean these chips? go on airplanes you can get that too. this seems to happen all the time. >> have you seen an airplane from a round-trip with ready to go in 30 minutes and open the

bathroom. martha: don't spend your time in the bathroom early part of the trip if at all possible. >> you have all kinds of things. they are very large. moving all the time. they don't have time to stop, let's clean it all down, bring the drapes down, wash everything. and that is exactly what happens. and in norovirus, unless, when you get thousands and hundreds of people infected, you have no choice but to take the boat out and really disinfect the boat because otherwise you won't be able to use it. martha: so now we know that federal health officials came on to the boat. is it easily cured and, you know -- >> there the norovirus you get gastro enter righties, dehydration, vomiting, low-grade fever. it lasts for two or three days. big-ticket items with people with debilitating diseases. very old and taking medication you can get dehydrated very quickly. if you're a small child you can get dehydrated very quickly which may require hospitalization. for most people, three days of

miserable vomiting and diarrhea. martha: happy vacation. what do you recommend for people, if you're in that situation? what can you do? the hand sanitizer and wash your hands a lot. >> a lot of times on these boats before you go into the dining room they ask everybody to please use hand sanitizers because they know of potential once they get an outbreak is very difficult to eradicate. all right? martha: thank you, doctor. cheery. wonderful. i have really hope, stay home. >> stay home. martha: don't go on a cruise in the first place. >> watch the super bowl. that's what you need to do. martha: thank you, sir. bill: thank you, manny. unrest in ukraine exploding by the day. [shouting] protesters now making a move straight to the heart of government power. we'll update you what is happening there in a moment. martha: the chairman of the house homeland security committee calling the terror threat in sochi, unprecedented

for our athletes and people visiting these games. so could the olympics be canceled? >> for the first time al-zawahiri coming out and endorsing, blessing, calling for this global jihad against the olympics? wow, that gives me great pause. we asked people a question,

how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪

bill: 9:31 now. we have breaking news from ukraine yet again. tensions are mounting by the day. the protesters seizing the

ministry of justice in kiev late last night. barricading with bags of snow or whatever they could grab. [shouting] they are unrelenting, the protesters are, and government forces seem as they can not put an end to this ukraine justice minister threatening to call for a state of emergency unless protesters stand down and leave the ministry building. greg palkot back on this in london. latest from ukraine is what, greg? >> reporter: bill, being called the worst unrest that europe has seen in decades and maybe, from the standpoint of the united states and the west, maybe most significant, most important as well. from the best of our information we're getting on the ground antigovernment demonstrators remain in that justice ministry building in the ukrainian capitol of kiev. they stormed the place overnight. adding to other municipal buildings they occupied. leading to one report that

authorities are losing control of the capitol city. no wonder we're hearing threats after state of emergency being imposed. protests are spreading throughout the country in a large city in the eastern region of the country where generally there has been support for the ukrainian president. it was his backing away from a deal with the european reason to tie in with russia kicking this off. dozens and dozens injured and arrests bill. bill: the government offered the opposition a seat at table. how did that go over if at all? >> reporter: the government clearly sees trouble over the weekend. he offered to dissolve the cabinet and appoint number two and three opposition leaders and negotiation about hated laws and anti-protest laws. the opposition is not buying it. they came out on sunday demanding nothing less than the president stepping down calling for new elections. tomorrow, bill, could be a crunch day.

there is special session of parliament being called. they could act compromise measures or could enact stiffer laws. the top european union foreign affairs official later in town this week. we expect to hear from washington again. state department, white house, they have been vocal about ukraine government calming down giving in to the protesters. with russia involved, european involved, the u.s. having a stake, a lot of eyes watching the situation there. bill: no end in sight either. thank you, greg palkot in london on that martha: so the state department is issuing a new travel alert amid growing terror concerns in sochi. thousands of american athletes and spectators are now being urged to keep a low profile while they're there. don't wear clothes that identify yourselves as americans. meanwhile the chair of the house homeland security committee now calling the terror threat, the worst he has ever seen for an olympics. so bad in fact he is open to the

idea of keeping our u.s. team home. >> i don't think it is time to be an alarmist and cancel. if this thing gets worse maybe we would consider that. i would say that the security threat to the olympics, this particular olympics are the greatest i think i have ever seen because of the proximity of the terrorists to the olympic village. martha: that area, kt mcfarland joins me now, fox news security analyst. welcome, good to have you hire. we looked at prior terror alerts during the olympics. there was one for china. there was one for greece as well but they were nothing like what we're talking about here, right? >> here's why. before there was al qaeda there were chechen terrorists. guess where the olympics are being held? smack dab in the middle of the chechen terrorist territory. it is probably one of most dangerous places on earth. all that being said, inside the ring of steel in sochichy is

safest place in russia to be. it will be a problem getting to and from there why? russia is big country. a lot of soft targets. people will fly in moscow and volgograd and other places. enroute to and from the olympics is where vulnerability will be. chechens have shown they will not only attack in their hometown or region they move all over. they have had attacks in moscow and volgograd. these are mean, tough guys. martha: think about the moscow theater standoff where so many people loss their lives. beslan school. trap people inside of a place and a siege ensues and goes on days and days that would be absolute nightmare for the olympics. >> absolutely. that is why they're growing to do it. first objective is achieved. whole world is focus and talking

about potentially canceling the olympics. u.s. pushes the olympics on travel watch list. they have a big audience. i think there will be some kind of an attack. i don't think it will be in sochi. martha: outside. the thing i think of is vladmir putin of his personal machismo and pried. he has -- pride. he has been embarrassed several times with these issues. is that any deterrent that the chechen rebels know he will stop at nothing to take them out? >> probably eggs them on. putin, his whole legitimacy is riding on this he has made his career killing chechen terrorists. he is one guy that took them on and fought them. they have gone to the point of going door-to-door in this area and taking cheek swabs of women -- martha: looking for the black widows. >> looking for the black widows. if there is a suicide bomber, take the body parts, compare dna samples and hold the family responsible. they will stop at nothing to

have a successful olympics. the thing i worry about is the rest of the country. it is like anything. it is like a sucker punch. you're focused over there. where are the terrorists likely to do? over there. martha: dagestan, tsarnaev brothers and that area is very close. olympic committee, why did they plan it in the first place? >> putin wanted this. the big moment on the world stage. russia is superpower. russia is back. let's do the olympics in sochi. they spent billions of dollars to make it a beautiful event and housing to build up the whole venue. the problem is, where is it? smack dab in middle of terrorist land. martha: we hope it goes off beautifully. all the young athletes who spent so much of their lives training for events. their families really want to be there to enjoy this with their kids. we hope it is okay. >> the other thing is, if we run away from this. if we don't go to the olympics, we don't go anywhere. we'll be hiding in a bunker for

the rest of our lives. we don't want to do that. >> the principle of the olympics is to stop fighting to get together in a couple of weeks and engage in athletic endeavors. we hope that is what they do. kt, thank you very much. see you next time. bill: president obama says he wants action on his agenda but does he have the juice to get it done? karl rove has many thoughts on this he will share a few. martha: what me, worry? what justin beeber is doing now, raising a lost eyebrows once again after his bust on some serious criminal charges in the past few days. the latest on the beebs when we come back. ♪ i bought a car, over and tells you, and you're like. a good deal or not. looking at truecar.com. there's no buyer's remorse.

website. the president and all of is need to restore trust in the american people. bill: with that, karl rove, former senior visor to president george w. bush. and carl, how are you there in austin, texas. morning. >> more thanking, how are you. bill: i get to your questions. i thought you were going to say good morning, hemmer, time too wake up. this question came up sunday. it will come up again, karl? how do you move anything forward with numbers like these the way they are today? >> well, look the president has a road map to success or to partial success if he will adopt it. look back at the moments before where the president has been in difficulty. for example he cut a deal on the expiration of the bush tax cuts. got about 90% of what he wanted and he rose in the opinion polls. he came to a budget agreement at the end of 2012 and rose in the polls. and instead of choosing a path of cooperation and compromise the president it looks like he

will set a tone for this year of, my way or the highway. you either, congress, do what i want to do, or, i will use my pen and my phone as pfeifer so aptly put it to work around you. bill: the president put it that way, a pen and a phone. now, what is the drag here? is it a stubborn economy? is it healthcare.gov or would you say it's both? >> it is both but i used that word in stubborn another way. it is the stubbornness of president obama. president obama can cut deals if he wants to but he won't. give an example from pfeifer on sunday. he was asked by candy crowley, will the president cut a deal on the debt ceiling increase? and pfeifer's response was to say, no. we are not going to allow ourselves to be forced into a deal with congress. now, the white house, if they wanted to could find common ground. in politics in order to move things forward, you have to give everybody a little bit of something and they could have

said to the republicans, we understand that you want cuts in future entitlement spending. let's look at some ideas that might be in the president's budget. might be in your budget approaches and see if we can't come to some reasonable agreement to do that. instead the attitude is forget it. this tend to build on itself, once you start finding ways of to cooperate and move forward it builds opportunities and trust. when you don't do that. when you do what the president and his people are doing, forget it, congress doesn't matter to us, we're going to go around congress, it tends to breed more distrust and more problems. bill: karl, just to drill through this a little bit here, do you think that is what they really believe? or is that what they're just saying right now as perhaps a public negotiating ploy? >> well, i think they believe it. there is an interesting memo, we haven't seen the memo. it is apparently three pages long. it is written by dan pfeifer to the white house chief of staff. to explain what went wrong in

2013. the number one thing in that memo is that the president was too beholden to congress. he governed in the memo as a prime minister who had responsibilities to the legislative body and that made for a poor 2013. no, what made for a poor 2013 is they had no good ideas, no cooperation with congress, no effort to move congress together and year was capped by utter unmitigated disaster called obamacare. it wasn't that the president worked too much with congress. it said he worked too little with congress. bill: two more points here. pfeifer also did mention they inherit ad tough economy. i mean, year five, you're five 1/2 years into it, now, okay? just to quote him i think it is important to remember that this president inherited the worst economic situation since the great depression and a financial crisis. i don't know if that is what they're saying to placate the left or whether that is something they truly believe and perhaps it is even working.

but you couple that with the poll that we found last week and, put it on the screen for our viewers because you will hear a lot about this tomorrow night. third one down, karl, 12%, income inequality was the top issue facing the country. >> right. bill: look at the first two numbers. 76% between jobs, unemployment and deficit and government spending. where are they in this overall strategy to get off that number? >> yeah, i think they're about ready to make a big mistake. look, we have had the weakest economic recovery in the modern history of recorded economic numbers for america. since the late 18 hundreds when they began economic statistics we have never had a recovery as weak and anemic as this. chris wallace pointed out, median income is down. first time in a recovery, growing number of people dropping out of the workforce. increase in people working part time for economic reasons.

that is to say they can't get full-time work. we have food stamps up. in fact for the first time in the history of the food stamp program we now have more adults getting food stamps than children and elderly poor which is historically been the case. so we've got a terrible economic recovery. we're not yet back to the point that we were when we began the recession in december of 2007, in terms of the number of people working in america and in the meantime, we have had eight or nine million people or more enter the workforce without a job there. so, the president ought to be focused on that. instead it appears to say income inequality, now quote, ladders to opportunity. fancy woods are not going to hide the fact that they're more concerned with cuttings up the pie that we got rather than growing the pie that the american people want to participate in. bill: we'll talk to you again later in the week. karl, appreciate it. >> thank you. bill: interesting to hear what happens tomorrow night. karl rove from austin, texas today. martha? martha: super bowl hit the "troy" state area.

martha: here we go, folks. the broncos an seahawks getting ready for sunday's super bowl showdown. the teams arrived yesterday hungering down in new jersey, having a great time from all we hear, getting ready for the great game. security will be very intense obviously before the kickoff. rick leventhal is live at the super bowl playground, battle browned in metlife stadium. hey, rick, what is it looking like? >> reporter: good morn buildings, martha, the 24 hour security lockdown is now in effect. no one gets inside of a 300-foot perimeter without proper credentials. new jersey police are staffing the super bowl command post. it was paid for by the agency which has the lead in securing super bowl xlviii. we looked inside the facility with room for representatives of more than 100 agencies, fbi, homeland security, local police and bomb and hazmat teams. they're monitoring video and

radio feeds from real time information from officers on the ground ready to respond to any and all incidents. >> your biggest fear? disruption of the event. the same fear i think most americans live with every day in a post-9/11 era, that something can happen. we'll do our very best to mitigate that. >> reporter: lieutenant colonel edward said they began prepping three years ago and they're ready for anything. martha: a big event. they're working hard to keep it safe so everybody can have a good time. what about the weather? outdoor game for the first time in a long, long time. how is that looking? >> reporter: state police they're use toed it. they work every home game and this is only stadium in the country with a home game every weekend. they're used to work inning bad weather. this event they have to take precautions to a far greater level. there will be police out on boats, in the water and on the meadow land and other rivers worried about possible attacks

from the waterways. they will be in helicopters flying over the stadium looking out for suspicious activity and hundreds of troopers on the ground and temperatures predicted to drop single digits overnight this week. they need to dress warm and need regular breaks to avoid successive exposure. one of the biggest concerns is not getting people in the stadium on super bowl sunday, but it's a mass exodus of the people that want to leave if the game is one-sided. martha: lots to work on. very exciting. thanks, rick. bill: keep safe, rick. president obama promising an end-run around congress to further his agenda. has there ever happened before? brit hume will analyze. martha: plus, winter is one thing you about 60 below zero? give that a little thought for a moment. 60 below zero. we'll tell you where that is happening when we come right back with more in nerc's newsroom.

year's state of the union they devoted time to the laundry list of items that any president, democrat or republican, tries to use to say this is what i want to know the agenda whether it was gun control or whatever. he didn't get any of that. and they realize they have to focus on executive action and there is going to be angst about going around them. when he brought in the former white house chief of staff to be a counselor here, he's pushed for action whether it is climate change or whatever it is all about going on his own. >> critics say he didn't fulfill

last year's promises. >> the president has been traveling around the country and making remarks of cleaning up last year's business. he talked about the manufact manufacturing hub and had a committee to fix voting rights. he is cleaning up last year's business and they realize they have to fine tune that, not to do the laundry list, because he is closer to being a lame duck. >> we will see if it comes out that way. brit hume is here. you heard ed lay out the preview, what did you expect?

>> presidents don't go to congress for legislation because they think it is fun or like congress. they go because they must. because without the agreement, there are strict limits on what he can do. so if he doesn't want to compromise, he can do somethings by executive order, just not much. one area they can act unilateral is foreign policy. and he has the secretary of state moving across the world but not a lot isn't coming and not a lot may. the president isn't deeply interested in all of that. i would say the president can do things, but not much. >> it seems like expectations are low and contained. they are talking about it as

practical issues and a list of things to help the middle class. a lot of the phrases fall on ears saying so what? you would hope every year is a year of action when you are president. it doesn't sound like there is going to be a higher message. you look to the state of the union to inspire the nation and raise the dialogue up and get everybody bolstered for the next year. >> maybe you do. but i have covered 30 of them and i don't remember a lot of uplift. they tend to be programmatic and touch a lot of basis and they need to please certain factions and so on so they tend to be long. and they tend to be unmemorable which is true of presidents of both parties.

i don't look for this to be a big deal or last a long time. usually the president gets a bump, they word things that sound appealing, but the state of the union addresses come and go. >> 55 last year down to 46 or 42 percent the new approval ratings. i wonder if the elephant in the room is going to be touched on. the word is we will not hear a lot about health care and that is what on everybody's mind. >> he maybe able to tick off statistics that sound good, but the problem is the facts on the ground which is a huge number of people lost coverage and those who have gotten coverage from

obamacare were people who had it and lost it. so the idea there is a huge gain for the uninsured people getting health insurance hasn't materialized. there is a deadline in march and a lot more people might sign up. but it doesn't look good. the people whose health care plans have been disrupted isn't happy and i am not sure there is anything he can say that will make those people happier with them unless something changes with the policy. >> he has the attention of people in the largest number all year and we will see what he does with it. >> stick with us for the analysis before and after the address. coverage starts at 8:55 eastern. fox news alert because they are calling it a polar plunge as

opposed to the vortex. temperatures plunging for millions and dangerous for many. in illinois, wind chill is expected to get to 45 below 0. hundreds of schools have canceled classes. >> with 6,000 kids walking to school and the other 6,000 standing at a bus stop, there is too much of a danger of them getting frost might or hyperthermia. >> that is in illinois where they are used to cool tetch -- temperatures -- but not like this. it has been one storm after another. >> we have been looking at dangerous wind chill temperatures and that is what we are seeing again this morning and expecting over the next several days.

minneapolis feels like 35 below 0 and same in fargo. in sioux falls 32 below 0. because of the risk of frost bite and hyperthermia we have wind chill affects into the east northeast and even as far as south as alabama and parts of mississippi. so we are expecting the cold temperatures to move southward. raleigh is 61 but by tuesday it will not be above freezing so a temperature drop of 30 within 24 hours. wednesday is still cold out there. and blowing and drifting snow in the midwest.

but south these are winter watches in texas, louisiana, mississippi, alabama and all the way into the carolinas and the carolinas could be looking at a foot of snow >> they have never seen that before in parts of north carolina. >> we'll keep it updated. >> the mercury is dropping in minneapolis. 35 below is the wind chill. that is ridiculous. rob olsen is joining us from minneapolis. how is it going up there? >> i bought this for downhill skiing but it is coming in handy

for outdoor reporting. classes have been canceled at the minneapolis university and dozens of schools districts across the state. it is rare to have this many days but for a lot of districts they have had four days off. that is rare. tcf bank stadium is behind me and that is where the vikings will be playing outside until their new stadium is build and 15 below 0. it is windy and that is where the 40 below is coming in. we found a spot out of the wind so you can handle a few minutes before you run back into the live truck. when the gusn the

face, that hurts. it goes through the layers you have on which is about six right now. >> keep the layers on and thanks for the few minutes. head back in. we are thinking about everybody up there. stay warm and get cozy. >> wow. >> right? we don't have a leg to stand on in the northeast. >> it is hard to make your mouth move when you report out in temperatures like that. >> an entire town cut off by an avalanche and the race to reach thousands who need food and supplies because of that >> and rand paul calling former president bill clinton a sexual predator. the war on women -- does it have a new front? >> and the latest on the wall street journal reporter who went out for a walk and vanished.

lib libility is her husband. if she runs on the republicans waging a war on women, rand paul says democrats should remember what clinton did in office. >> he took advantage of a 20-year-old girl who was an intern in his office. that is predatory behavior and not something we want to associate with people who would take advantage of a young girl. >> paul went there you can say bringing up something from 1998 that doesn't get talked a lot

about. we have two fox news contribute here. that is a long time. is that fair to bring it up? >> democrats have been using this war on women rhetoric to win elections. we saw this happen in virginia. i have been amazed that the democrat party has been accused of saying the republicans have a war on women and when they are the party of clinton. >> there was irony in the conventions in 2012 and there was a huge them on how republicans want to take away birth control and set the rights back. and then honoring clinton and kennedy in the next breath.

is their irony? >> they are talking about public policy. not bad things men have done in public. what clinton did has gotten him criticized by the democrats. it isn't fair to say they were okay with it. i would dispute he was praying on someone >> willing and able and i would dispute that. >> saying he is a predator is off. doesn't excuse what he did. i think if republicans want to go back to this it is petty. hilary clinton didn't do it. let's remember that. you cannot blame hilary clinton for her husband's infidelities. >> will it backfire on the

republicans? >> i think i would. >> i think it is double standard. when you are in the passion of the most powerful man in and you lure a women into the the office that is a definition of sexual harassment. 500,000 women are out of the workforce and health care plans have doubled. hilary clinton wants a same plan. let's move off the petty argument of birth control and talk about real issues which is the democrats waging a war on women when it comes to public policy. >> that is my point. republicans should talk about public policy and not

mis-characterized. the affair started because she flashed her thong at him. >> i think she was excited about the whole prospect. let's look at the two magazines covers. we are getting a sense of how hilary clinton is going to get portrayed. this is called planet hilary clinton and the other is her stepping on someone saying can any stop hilary clinton. what do you think, katie? >> i don't like the way they portrayed hilary clinton in that planet think. i think it is strange. but i think they are saying hilary clinton is going to be the winner and who can stop her and she hasn't announced she is going to run. she has things in her history back in the '90s and with

benghazi. i hope we would question her on those. >> i don't think anybody would say she is going to win. it is going to be interesting. >> who knew he would go back to the '98 and drudge that up. >> the u.s. military striking in africa in the heart of al qaeda territory. did they hit the target? did they hit the target? too big.
