6:03 am
completely ignored. stuart varney on the fox business network, good morning to you, stuart. what is going on here? >> according to the "washington post," if you signed up for obamacare and a mistake was made commimade, he cannot get that me fixed. the "washington post" says 22,000 people have filed written appeals to fix the problems they have had, but those appeals have now just lost in a computer someplace. thousands of people who called up asking to get their problems fixed, they were told there aren't enough staff or federal workers cannot get into the computer system to fix the mistake they are complaining about. lawyers familiar with this problem, familiar with the process tell the "washington post" the infrastructure, the appeals process infrastructure has simply not yet been built. martha: what a mess. can you imagine if you ran a company this way, if people were
6:04 am
complaining and it was just a dead-end, so that is the individual story of these people's experiences. what is the impact on the whole program? >> there are large number of people in health care limbo. a 27-year-old who signed up, got the wrong subsidy, a very high deductible, tried to correct it, can't correct it, she needs surgery, she is in limbo, legal limbo within the terms of obamacare there is a statement that you've got to have due process, you have to appeal a mistake that has been made. the overall result is likely that far fewer people will actually sign-up. if this is what you are in for, why sign-up? martha: things were turnaround putting a disposition on the program last night with bill o'reilly. obviously some very serious problems underway. >> this is from the "washington post" this morning.
6:05 am
martha: thank you. the mess with healthcare.gov started on october the first. the site went live and immediately technology problems in heavy traffic and suit. the white house said it was all a glitch, but added there is no excuse to the problems and they were ready to get to work to fix them. the president announced the text search to get out and deal with this issue. on october 30, health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius apologize for the botched rollout. and then december, shown for the first month of operations the website was down more than half the time. bill: the super bowl last night a super bowl blowout. seahawks winning 43-8. they were all over this team from the very first play of the game this messy snap started it all.
6:06 am
>> through the hands of peyton manning! the ball bounces into the end zone. it is a safety to start this game. bill: 12 seconds into it, the quickest score ever in super bowl history. the seahawks never looking back. roll this. >> in for the touchdown. >> inside the 30, he is going to go, touchdown, seattle! bill: harvin was unbelievable. he had the legs of august, he was that fresh. quarterback russell wilson threw a pair of touchdowns. the seahawks scored even more points from broncos turnovers. super celebrations in the locker room, here is pete carroll inside that locker room. >> we are all we need.
6:07 am
bill: russell wilson playing the role of peyton manning last night. the party extending from that locker room into new jersey back into seattle, a beautiful picture here. that city celebrating the first super bowl victory, dazzling display of fireworks, lighting up the iconic space needle. martha: seattle seahawks feeling on top of the world. >> it feels unbelievable to be the team that gave a championship they deserve. >> this is an amazing team. we started a long time ago, it took four years to get to this point. they never took a step sideways or backwards to make this team where it is today. all the work john has done to put this team together. these guys would not take anything but a win in this ballgame. >> site was just unbelievable. you want to put your best football. that is what we did tonight.
6:08 am
our 12th man fans are the best in the world. martha: what a nice guy, and they are. i was surrounded by seattle seahawks fans last night, they were so enthusiastic and so happy to watch their team win. and that you have the other side, bitter disappointment for the denver broncos fans last night. here is peyton manning. >> i don't know if you ever really get over it. it is a difficult pill to swallow. you have to find a way to deal with it, like i said, if you can, to try to make yourself a better team next year. obviously it is a disappointing locker room in there. guys are disappointed. martha: so many people were wondering if he would be the first quarterback to win to super bowl's with two different teams. it was not meant to be for him. how many wonderfu wonder if he l return to play again next season or retire and call it a career. bill: phenomenal comeback
6:09 am
despite what happened last night. transportation is being called the first mass transit super bowl was a bust. tens of thousands trying to make their way to and from the game ended up stranded four hours. here is some of that. >> michael strahan says the best way to get around in new york and new jersey is mass transit. >> it was more convenient. it takes you right to the game. >> they should probably figure out a way to shove all these people through here. bill: people were collapsing because of the heat at the terminals at the train station. martha: ironically the roads were pretty open. if you had gone back, no problems. police lining the roads in and out of the stadium, it was fine.
6:10 am
bill: people come in from all over the country, they spend a fortune, they deserve better than they got last night. i tell you they had a couple of hiccups, that is b.s., that was not the case. martha: he was hot in that tunnel. bill: at the end of the game when they say please stay in the stadium, the train is overcrowded, that is wrong. you had three years to get ready for this moment. they game was fantastic, so well produced. that was not cool be at martha: more on that coming up. another super bowl showdown off the gridiron. >> what some people are saying are the irs was used at the local level in cincinnati and maybe other places. >> how do you know that? we still don't know what happened. martha: very interesting back-and-forth. bill o'reilly with the president.
6:11 am
was there a winner in that one? bill: a triple threat from mother nature. are you in the crosshairs yet again? what a winter this has been. martha: right before the super bowl yesterday, the sudden death of philip seymour hoffman. as we look back at the life and career of this amazing award-winning actor. >> i think you'll like it. very masculine. ♪ ♪

6:15 am
hostage in a terrifying morning for these poor people in the school. they were freed a few hours later. the shooter may have been seeking revenge against the teacher. this comes three days before the start of the winter olympic games in sochi. >> no corruption there at all? i want to know what you are saying. >> absolutely. >> you're saying no corruption. >> no. there were boneheaded decisions. >> no corruption? >> not even a smidgen of corruption. bill: that was just one exchange last night about 4:30 eastern time, two hours before kickoff. unlike the football game, was there a decisive winner here? the host of "media buzz," how are you doing this morning? how did you call it? >> it was more competitive in
6:16 am
the game that followed, bill. bill o'reilly brought his hurry up offense because he only had a minute and the president brought a seahawks like defense was included many jabs at fox news. he closed on a conciliatory note saying i believe your heart is in the right place. politicians do better when they face aggressive questioning, they look stronger, the pushback and the president showed he could go into the foxes den, so to speak. bill: you mentioned the fox news channel. this is part of how that exchange went. >> your detractors believe he did not tell the world it was a terror attack because their campaign did not want that out. that is what they believe. >> they believe it because folks like you are telling them that. in part because you and your tv station will promote them. >> that wit was a serious topic about benghazi.
6:17 am
that takes effect the election with mitt romney in 2012 with the debate on long island. what is it about the strategy of turning it back on the fox news channel? that seems to come up about every 12, 18 months, about every two years and pops up again. >> it came up about every 12 or 18 seconds in his interview. part of the preplanned strategy by the administration, a white house and president obama saying there you go again, bill, these things like iris and benghazi are fox news of session, people like you pushing this out making it an issue. that plays a very good with the presidents liberal base. obama slams bill o'reilly, fox news. the president trying to shift away from the factual questions o'reilly was asking when did you learn about the health care website problems, what did leon panetta tell you about that night? he was able to get to the higher ground of making broader points about health care and terrorism but also try to sort of not so
6:18 am
slightly blame fox news for these type of questions. bill: it is interesting that perhaps he speaks to the base on a comment like this. this is a strategy within one '2008. he wrote on our website foxnews.com the following: o'reilly was aggressive, president obama did not get rattled. although at certain point he looked peeved. he had a stark choice given the 10 minute time limit, keep interrupting obama or allow him to run out the clock. a lot of reporters tell you when you sit with barack obama, a filibuster ensues, and that is a dangerous area. if you allow that to happen you are cheating the viewers and that is what o'reilly is trying to walk. >> have seen some very good television anchors who let the president run out the clock. when i thought was he ran up to the line of interrupting too
6:19 am
much where you look. route, but at the same time he was in the game, he seemed to enjoy some level of the back-and-forth pushing back against fox to deflect the question, and so it really was a good encounter for both sides, which is why i suspect despite the constant criticism of fox news, the president agreed to this o'reilly interview. bill: sometimes as you know lives can be different from tape. in the tape portion are later site on the "o'reilly factor." how does bill o'reilly think this interview went? >> we will ask him next hour on "america's newsroom" and get a preview of what you can expect in prime time, see whether or not they made more headlines. martha: stay tuned for that, indeed. another bombshell dropped on chris christie. the new accusations, if true, that could potentially cause more problems for the new jersey governor, but a question about
6:20 am
whether these are true. the person in charge of the investigation explains why he thinks these new allegations against the governor are bogus. plus this. ♪ bill: you know, sometimes there are more opinions about the halftime performance than the game. what did you think about bruno mars? talk to us on twitter. coming right back. too big. too small. too soft. too tasty.

martha: he is a solid performer. bruno mars to a great job last night. there were fireworks at the super bowl. bruno mars nailed the halftime show. he started off with a drum solo that was pretty awesome. very dramatic out there on the field. the red hot chili peppers, i thought, did a great job. i thought they were great, they did one song, the next 91 hit "give it away." bruno mars closed with "just the way you are." they were one of the best-selling recording artists f all time. bill: i took my three sisters to the game, you took your two sons, did they like bruno mars? martha: yeah, they liked bruno mars. bill: joe namath back on
6:25 am
broadway. the pregame coin toss almost screwed up. hang on. and how about that code. a waist length hooded mink. martha: that is what it is all about. people should not make fun of joe namath, this is what he does. broadway joe, the super bowl back in new york, new jersey, i thought he looked great. bill: what was your favorite moment of the big game? send us a tweet. my moment was the first play of the game, snapping it over peyton manning's head for a safety. unbelievable start to the super bowl, the stadium was in shock as i am sure you were as well. martha: how about the flyover? they were thundering, they were so close to the top of the
6:26 am
stadium and it took a lot of people by surprise you look up and this amazing flyover. it was incredible. my first time being in the stadium for a super bowl, in my home state. it was pretty spectacular. bill: looking up into the night sky. martha: incredible. bill: 26 minutes after the hour. martha: winning the super bowl was not enough to deflect the firestorm around chris christie. >> chris christie, the governor of new jersey where the game will be played tomorrow. >> good afternoon, everybody. you have already heard enough speeches of the same thing. i want to tell everybody out there thank you very much to all of our partners, nfl, team owners, looking forward to handed over to arizona. martha: i guess there were some
6:27 am
boos in the background. obviously he is under a lot of pressure at this point. there are an allegation now that he knew more than he is telling about the bridge closings at the george washington bridge, those are assumed to be a political vendetta at the time that happened. he says he knew nothing about that closure. we're joined now in the newsroom with more on this. so what bubbled up on this over the weekend? >> an avalanche of even more e-mails documents due to be handed to the investigators today. there is so much stuff some of the targets have asked for extensions. probing why lanes of the george washington bridge were close in september and the abuse of public trust thwarted him. why? and if he was in on the scheme, claimed he did not know and was not a part of it. but the cochairman of the legislative investigative
6:28 am
committee this morning tells fox news analyst receiving some of the subpoenaed materials today. they want to find out more about the lawyer, former port authority official who carried out the closing, but his lawyer said in a letter that evidence exists governor christie knew about the scheme and what was happening. >> without seeing the documents, we cannot make the conclusions that a lot of people are making about the letter that the governor new while this was happening, but we need to see the material he is talking about in order to reach that conclusion. >> some have called him christie's eyes and ears at the port authority. the governor's office last out at him in their own scathing e-mail accusing him of being deceptive and not trustworthy even going back to high school. martha: now w we're hearing abot
6:29 am
another resignation in the christie camp. >> governor christie's director of intergovernmental relations. the mayor's claim it administration pressured them, she is quitting. she claims her decision has nothing to do with the scandal but she is one of the officials who have been subpoenaed. they tell us it will still take more time to review all the materials the committee is receiving. i got thousands of pages from a handful of people previously, now 20 top christie officials have been subpoenaed. hearings are supposed to be held on all of this in trenton sometime in the coming weeks. martha: we will have more on that coming up. thank you very much. bill: paul ryan going over the heads of congress. karl rove will analyze it in a matter of minutes. martha: and we have a triple threat, three storms, three
6:30 am
giant headaches. >> i mean i have been going as low as 25 miles per hour and as fast as 45, 50 miles per hour. slow-moving.
6:31 am
6:32 am
6:33 am
bill: more extreme weather with the mid-atlantic, new york city can get as much as 8 inches of snow before the end of the day. in the south, not immune to the winter weather this year. and arkansas, look at that.
6:34 am
we're a few illinois bringing more snow on top of what fell over the weekend. have a listen to that. >> not clear if one lane was slow-moving. as fast as 45, 50 miles per hour. slow-moving, for sure. bill: forecasters say the track of the storm similar to the last one. so about to get hit again. martha: new allegations president obama is running a lawless presidency. this comes from, rissman paul ryan, claiming the president is doing an end run around congress with actions he believes is illegal. >> we have increasingly lawless presidency where he is actually doing the job of congress, writing new policies and new laws about going through congress. when he does things like he did on health care, delaying mandates that the los losses weo supposed to occur when they
6:35 am
occurred, that is not his job. the job of commas is to change laws, not the presidency. executive orders are on one thig but executive orders that actually change the statute is totally different. martha: karl rove joins me now, senior president advisor and deputy chief of staff to george w. bush and of course a fox news contributor. good to have you here. >> good morning. martha: paul ryan is fired up about this interview, right? >> let's go on a specific example he brought up, and administration effort to delay the employer mandate, section 1513 of the affordable care act is very explicit, it says as of december 31, 2013, the employer mandate kicks in. the administration by not an executive order but by a rule from the department of health and human services use another part of the law, 1514, giving the secretary discretion on when employers have to provide the
6:36 am
federal government details about their compliance with the law, it delayed it until 2015. the law said in 2014 at the secretary's discretion set in the time when the company's report. they use a different part of the law to undo a very explicit provision of the law. i think congressman ryan has a good point here. executive orders, three areas of concern, one is the executive order, the other is the legislative order and the final of the president's own actions. in this instance it was a departmental regulation in violation of the statutory requirements that says on december 312013 the employer mandate will kick in. how they're getting around this and how they think they can justify this is beyond me. martha: the alternative would be to throw the whole thing back to congress, and they don't want to open up this can of worms and get congress hands into it and reorganize things and change deadlines because they know that will become a huge political
6:37 am
issue for them. >> right, the constitution is set up so legislative responsibility is with the congress, not the executive branch. the president has done this twice before, very high profile ways going around congress. congress refused to pass the dream act along young people brought to the united states as children and who have lived here most of their lives to become u.s. citizens. congress refused to prove it. but a effective order from the white house exempted the people affected by the dream act for one year from being subject to the enforcement of our immigration laws. where'd you have a statutory authority, where he got the statutory authority to do that is beyond me. we are also seeing it on cap and trade with an overwhelmingly democratic congress the president could not get cap and trade in place. now he is attempting to do i wih by regulations through the environmental protection agency. and again, no statutory authority, these things tend to
6:38 am
be litigated in court and so far when i have been litigated, the president is set to lose. martha: the white house could say congress approval numbers are even lower than ours. and the president comes out and says look, i'm doing this because this is what is right for the people. if i can't get those guys in congress who you all have a very low opinion of to do what i think they are supposed to do, you have to trust me because i will go around them and make sure what needs to happen will happen as the president of the united states. >> the constitution of the united states, i don't see any part of the constitution or the amendments to it that say the president has the right if congress is less popular than he is to ignore the responsibility to legislate and his responsibility to execute, to faithfully execute the law for the united states. congress was unpopular the president decided it was his right to determine when congress
6:39 am
was in recess and he made a set of recess appointments to the labor board. he decided he thought they were in recess. this went all the way to the supreme court and the president lost. we are governed by our constitution. every president has executive authority and there are contingent issues and arguments righrace, but the president haso act within the statutory limits given to him by the united states congress or we are not a nation of laws, we are simply an authoritarian regime. the president has to be very careful about this. martha: do you think any efforts to bring this back in to control the way the government runs, will any of those efforts succeed? >> yes, i believe they will. he acted in an unconstitutional way, and the president doesn't get to decide when congress is in recess, on the house and senate can decide when they are
6:40 am
in recess. the affordable care act and the employer mandate. they give for here is this this is like that they don't have to pay conformity, they will not be suing on it. and then the question is who is standing to take this to court? i do think congress is likely to ask you administration to comment defend his actions like this, and then engage in national dialogue whether or not this is appropriate. they are likely to end up in court and the court are going to have to be ask to adjudicate this. martha: republicans in congress wanted the delay, so the president's giving it to them in a number of different forms but on his own terms. you and many others are saying it is constitutionally illegal.
6:41 am
>> they said if we're going to delay it for the corporations, why not delay it for the individuals. the reason was they didn't want these companies to have in the middle of the midterms happen to come in to conformity of law because many companies particularly small and medium-size companies can say we're dumping the health care coverage and tossing these people and the exchanges and the administration said this would be a political nightmare, less in essence break our own law to avoid political problems. martha: really important topic, thank you so much. >> thank you. bill: iran has received his first installment of $500 million for a deal critics say does very little to and the nuclear program. that was a payoff, what do we get? next. martha: we have new details coming in just this morning on the death of actor philip seymour hoffman who was foundedn his city apartment leaving fans
6:42 am
and friends and colleagues stunned. >> i'm kind of shocked right now. we lost one of the great. >> he had a danger to him, a vulnerability to him, all those qualities that make somebody vulnerable in this profession.
6:43 am
6:44 am
6:45 am
martha: at least 15 people are dead following a massive volcanic eruption in indonesia. emergency crews still cannot get close enough to the foot of evil cannot to help the series of eruptions with hot ash more than a mile into the sky. some 30,000 people living near the base of a mountain have been forced to leave their home. bill: $500 million them moved to the government of iran frozen funds part of the nuclear deal struck last november. iran was opposed to scale back if nuclear program. top iranian official saying they plan to build more centrifuges.
6:46 am
that is not all. fox news contributor kt mcfarland, deputy assistant for president reagan and fox news' national security analyst, welcome to both of you. on the details of this deal, you say obama got played. >> he is the only guy who doesn't realize he got played. iran was supposed to stop its nuclear program as opposed to prevent a nuclear uncertainty in the middle east and we give up sanctions. we have given up those sanctions but iran has announced they are not stopping the nuclear program and other countries in the region recognizing that have said we will get nukes of our own. the two goals, those are both not going to be met. bill: the amazing thing is they are being so transparent about it. they are saying two days ago we are keeping with this program. do we have any leverage now to fix what has been done?
6:47 am
>> that is the question. we've already spent that leverage. by lifting some of the sanctions it is the same thing as lifting all of them. businesses are lined up to do business with iran. the economic pressure, momentum of the market will in effect raise those sanctions with a president obama wants to raise them or not. law firms and international banks already sending out letters to their clients saying this is how you can do business with iran. bill: on the politics, what about the administration, what about the hand he is playing now? >> the bill that would impose new sanctions if iran violates the interim agreement pass in a six-month deadline. the president was lobbying hard against that bill before the states and the state of the union threatened to veto it so the question is what does the actual arrival of this reality, that is iran receiving monetary
6:48 am
benefit from this deal while still being defiant, still refusing to comply with it. the reality of that change the situation on capitol hill make republicans stronger, democrats stronger in favor of this bill and perhaps knocked down harry reid's so far refusal to bring any bill like that. bill: one important thing in that, senator menendez is a democrat. not the only democrat pushing back on the white house on this. what republicans and the house do, if anything? >> obviously democrats controlled the senate, republicans control the house. there's no reason the house couldn't take up something like the bill and passed it. question is with that then increase pressure on the senate and on the president to do something about it? this bill is to impose new sanctions if iran violates this agreement and goes past the deadline.
6:49 am
they would be new momentum behind that if republican house takes it. bill: now, kt, on the money. if they go through this process and if the administration or the united nation, the ie ae approves what they're doing in iran, they will get $4.2 billion at the end of the six months. what then? >> that is not even the whole issue. they will get tens of billions of dollars. what is going to happen and why do we care in america, it is the middle east, we care because i rail be the dominant power in the region. they will have their hand around the neck of exported oil and the world economy. we have no leverage to change that. bill: perhaps significant impact on the decisions we make here at home. thank you very much. continue to analyze it with both of you.
6:50 am
with politics and what is happening on the ground. what is next? martha: we will have more of bill o'reilly's sitdown interview with president obama. when we take the hit for healthcare.gov? >> why didn't you fire kathleenn sebelius, the cemetery in charge of all this? she had to know it wasn't going to work. >> my main priority is making sure it's delivers for the american people. wow, this hotel is amazing. oh no. who are you? who are you? wrong answer. wait, daddy, this is blair, he booked this room with priceline express deals and saved a ton. yeah, i didn't have to bid i got everything i wanted. oh good i always do. oh good he seemed nice.

7:05 am
he is trying to protect his own reputation, what is the dynamic here? >> it is hard to say and it is very strange when you get political figures going back to high school day and attacking each other. it is almost like christy gave him a wedgy in high school and it is coming back up. the christy team is eager to make it seem like he is out there to save himself and it does sound a bit like that. wildstein is eager to get imm e immuni immunity. >> he's going to have to come up with the so-called evidence that he says exist. that is the stick point of whether evidence exist or he had
7:06 am
evidence. he said it exist and he is going to have to come up with it. >> so far there is little reason to believe he has evidence. it doesn't mean there are not other shoes that could drop. but christy spent the first day getting all of the facts. or that is what he was talking about. whether he is innocent or not, we don't know at this point. but he clearly spent a day trying to figure out what is out there that could contradict the story i need to tell. so far we have seen nothing to contradict that story. >> thank you. >> great to be here. your super bowl champions for 2014 is the seahawks shutting down manning early and often they did. [cheering]

7:08 am
>> seattle is a great team and they have a great defense and proved that. >> and the front page of the denver post is sea sick. >> when your team is in the game it is great feeling until you feel the outcome. we did predictions on friday. let's go to the video tape. warner wolf. john elway is the gm for manning. if they win, i will be happy for them. but when everybody is going for denver or one side that only means one thing. >> you have to go with the underdog. no, the other team wins on sunday. >> we are not here to gloat -- these games are a coin toss.
7:09 am
last night, you saw fire in seattle. >> absolutely. but this is what i don't get. you were running numbers and doing the rushing yards and evaluation and i said bill who do you think is going to win? i have to work on my numbers and they went out the window. you made a little money but everybody was saying it is going to be so close but they were all over the field last night and outstanding on offense from the get-go. >> i think you're a fan. >> i was converted last night for the purpose of that game. >> great year, seattle. >> we are asking you this morning what was your favorite super bowl moment. send us a tweet and we will share them later in the show. >> we are getting good ones. keep them rolling in. nine minutes past the hour here. before the u.s. supreme court is one of the most

june. president obama taking shots at fox news over coverage of the benghazi terror attacks >> your detractors believe you didn't tell the world it was a terror attack because the campaign didn't want that out. >> and they believe it because folks like you are telling them. >> bill o'reilly will join us live what his thoughts >> and should kathleen sebelius be fired? you will hear the president's answer to that. >> and all of those cars left abandoned after the snow in georgia causing gridlock? one man is under arrest and we will tell you why. >> it is free of that get home and rest, they said.

7:14 am
7:15 am
>> president obama got a grilling over the subject of
7:16 am
obamacare. >> why didn't you fire kathleen sebelius? she had to know after all of the years and money it wasn't going to work? >> my main priority is taking sure it delivers for the american people. >> i am paying kathleen sebelius' salary and she screwed up and you are not holding her accountable >> i promise you we hold everybody up and down the line accountable >> really? joining us is our political analysts. it is a fair question because the question of accountability has been crossing a hlot of topics. were you satisfied with his answer? >> no, he didn't answer it. he isn't addressing the fact no
7:17 am
one has been held accountable for the rollout. i can understand the president saying i cannot fire her because there is no way to get another person confirmed because things are too fox -- toxic -- on the hill. but this isn't seeming true. >> it raises the question: who? who has been held accountable? >> i give the daily beast credit for saying the president ducked this question. it was so obvious when he said we will hold people up and down the line. not only who, but if not kathleen sebelius, where are you going to be? she is the quarterback of the rollout. and when he talks about accountability, do you realize
7:18 am
how general and vague he is? this was the problem, this the solution, and this is who i am holding accountable. that is what christy did with the bridge gate matter. at his core, this isn't a priority and he wanted to get through the moment there. >> he is convinced things are getting better. it will all be okay in the end and people will pat him on the back after everything works out. and that remains to be seen. let's listen to another sound byte: >> was it is your biggest mistake telling the nation if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance. >> bill, you have a long list of my mistakes. >> this is one i regret and i said i regretted. we put in a grand father clause you were supposed to be able to
7:19 am
keep it. >> what do you think about that exchan exchange? >> i don't know what he is talking about. i don't know how it has been changed so people didn't lose their health insurance. the president came out saying he thought the companies shouldn't be dropping them. but it was too difficult for the health insurance companies to go back and reinstate these. i think if you go back and look at the bill, there was a good reason this was going to happen. it wasn't followed by a lot of people but people are saying we should have expected that. >> it is not grandfathered and that turned out to be a hole you
7:20 am
could drive truck through. one more thought, bill. >> obamacare is terrible for the president and bringing the poll numbers down along with trust and creditability down. he is grinding his teeth and getting through the numbers. robert gibbs wants credit and john stuart asked kathleen sebelius about the wb site as well. >> it is the elephant in the room. no doubt about it. >> a dangerous killer on the run and we have the nationwide m manhunt coming up. >> and how about this? an amazing jump from space and the point of view when he started spinning out of control. started spinning out of control. so ally bank has a raise your rate cd
7:21 am
that wothat's correct.a rate. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. killer michael david elliot

7:24 am
>> a georgia man is now in custody after taking advantage of the snow storm and accused of stealing three cars on the highway. they saw an unmarked tow truck hauling away the vehicle. they tried to stop him and he ran. but was eventually caught and charged. a dangerous killer on the run. michael david elliot is his name. carjacking a woman after escaping from prison in michigan. she did escape at a gas station.
7:25 am
he is serving live in prison after killing four people in 1993. mark is here with us and you say if you look at this man's background and past it may lead you in the direction to find him now. what do you mean by that? >> these four homicides that he was convicted of -- it was a drug house and they were competing drug dealers. four drug dealers dead. this man was convicted by a testimony of three of his co-suspects or associates/snitches and that is how he was convicted. he believes, or keeps professing his innocence. so look for associates and relatives when you are looking for him and quite possibly there is that remote chance of revenge
7:26 am
to get at a snitch. >> he is five foot eight, 165 pounds, brown hair and eyes. iowa say the options for -- you -- fugitives can be telling. they don't have a lot of resources. where do you look? >> well, they don't. i think actually escaping is the easy part of the scenario. they have to find food, clothing, transportation, ide identification, money or access to credit cards and get through the complex society we have today. when you are looking for these men, if they had help, it is probably from the people they have been talking to in the last months or who visited him in prison. i suspect he dumped the vehicle he car jacked.
7:27 am
he is going to do it again and get money and means to move. >> thank you, mark. a nationwide man hunt is aler d alerted. there were fireworks yesterday and they were not just at the super bowl. bill o'reilly went toe to toe with obamacare and we will take to him >> what is manning's legacy and his future after this loss? jim gray is in the house and we will talk to him on that. >> plus, what was your favorite super bowl moment? some have sent great moments. keep them coming on our twitter is. how about the national anthem?

7:32 am
the republican house is expected to push a bill forward that would tie the increase to the obamacare preforms and the keystone pipeline. mike emanual is live and what is the republican plan as understand it? >> some ideas are including the keystone pipeline project and making sure the taxpayers are not on the hook for the bailout of obamacare. and the chairman says something should be attach today extending the nation's borrowing authority. >> usually, whoever is running congress, there is a policy attached to the debt limit. we don't like the idea of rubber stamping debt limiting increases without acknowledging the problem that got us into debt. >> house leaders are looking for
7:33 am
agreement on the initial act. as part of the debt ceiling deal, searching for that puts them in a flux >> what is the administration pushing for? >> a clean debt ceiling and the treasury secretary said this morning to just get it done. >> the bottom line is time is short. congress needs to act to extend the borrowing authority for our nation and it needs to act now. it is important to remember that increasing the debt limit is congress's responsibility and congress's alone. >> no one wants to spook the market. but you can expect there is going to be jock before the game. >> thank you, mike. >> thank you. well, you know what they say to the victors go the spoils and the trophy. the seahawks celebrating their
7:34 am
huge romp over the denver team with one of the youngest nfl rosters. we could be seeing a repeat of this team for years to come. but time may not be as kind for manning. gracious in this defeat and giving props to the seattle team. but the future hall of famer shooting back after being asked if they should be embarrassed and he said quote we put in a lot of work and that is an not embarra embarrassing. making it to this point is something to be proud of.
7:35 am
>> a player said it was an embarrassing experience and peyton took exception to it. they didn't play well and turned the ball over five times plus a safety. you cannot do that. teams with the super bowl having the fewest turnovers are 36-3. 36 times the less turnover team wins >> what about peyton manning and his future? there was a time people wondered if he was going to play again after having such severe problems with his neck. >> he had an incredible season. came back from neck surgery and lost at home last year in his home stadium. coming back this year. 55-touchdown passes with a record. 5, 777 yards.
7:36 am
brady had the record and lost in the super bowl. you score for show and play defense for the dough and the defense wins. 4-5 times the defense team wins. >> seattle was coming in and it was the strongest offense versus defense and seattle looks strong offensively. >> they scored on special teams and defense. they had a lot of offense that helped, too. it is easy to play when you are in front offensively. >> how did you think half time went? how do you think new jersey/new
7:37 am
york did at pulling it off? >> they did great. there was trouble with people getting on and off the train, but we got a break on the weather. we talked for a year about the weather. sherman we talked about. had an average game. he got hurt at the end but he is going to be okay. he ran off the field. it was 44 degrees and beautiful. they are coming back. >> what about the half time so? >> bruno mars was wonderful. >> who is number one for the star-spangled banner? >> no one will ever touch whitney houston. you can get that on i-tunes and i don't know the national anthem you can download anywhere else. flemming was great, though. >> and it was a beautiful day.
7:38 am
we have a 24 hour slice of good weather and woke up to snow we could have had this morning. what about manning and his future? all of the talk is what is next for him? is that way too much to say after one bad game? >> i think he is coming back. he is going to get his doctor's report on his neck in march. of course, i am sure health will play into the this. but he had a record-setting season and he is getting paid $20 million. he probably doesn't need the money but more importantly he wants to win another super bowl. he is 11-2. 1-2 in super bowls. and people consider him the greatest quarterback every. he is great at competing and i think he is coming back. you have to have your
7:39 am
heartbroken before you can become a champion and the broncos hearts are broken. john elway lost three times yesterday. he said been there, done that, we will be back and better. >> jim was a statistician on friday. he came in and said the public is wrong. 72% of the time. and all of the money was on denver. there is your guy, jim gray. >> that is why you won the bet. i don't bet on these things ever. >> bill o'reilly is live with this thoughts on the president and this question on benghazi. >> in the heat of the moment folks are focused on what is happening on the ground, how we can make sure people are safe. weekdays are for rising to the challenge.

>> so before the big game last night, another super size event. bill o'reilly's interview with the president. obamacare, irs scandal and benghazi. it was alpha versus alpha. including this exchange over what happened on the night of benghazi. >> in the heat of the moment, what folks are focused on is what is happening on the ground. do we have eyes on it. how can we make sure the focus -- >> did he tell you it was a terror attack? >> he said we have an attack on the compound. >> no terror attack? >> we don't know who is doing it. understand it is an acting of terror which is how i characterized it the day after it happened.
7:44 am
>> bill o'reilly is with me now. how are you? good morning. >> how are you doing? >> thank you for your time. in a broad sense before we drill down specifically, how did you think it went? >> well, from my perspective it went fine. i got my questions in. he didn't answer some of them. but i did what i had to do. you know, after you do an interview like that, you think should i do something differently an did the best job i could do. >> why do you think he turned it on fox? >> it is easy to divert it that way and gives the liberal press a headline they can use. it is a very good ploy to turn it on the person asking the questions. >> they go back to that every
7:45 am
12-18 months. >> it works. if you look at the associated press coverage of the interview their headline is o'reilly asked gop questions. this is the associated press. so it works. and that is why he does it. >> was he any different from, i guess, it was september 2008 during the republican convention, was he different from three years ago in 2011 during that interview? >> remarkable no. he has less wear and tear on the president that has served as long as he has. very good physical shape. his hair is a little grayer and his attitude was almost identical. he is a true believer -- that is what people need to know about the president. he believes what he is doing is what is best for the country and you are not going it shake him out of that no matter how many
7:46 am
stats or whatever you put on him >> if you could wrap it up, what would the headline be? >> i would say the president is avasive in an interview with the president. he said it was obamacare and does anybody believe a guy shows 157 times for a primmer on obamacare? anybody? >> is he buying time? >> of course. he doesn't have much pressure. the democrats don't care. and he doesn't care and he doesn't think it is important --
7:47 am
it is like hilary clinton. what is a matter? they don't think it is important. excuse me. and that is the bottom line. so you are an annoyance when you ask. >> you had about 12 minutes? >> we had 10.5 live and 15 recorded we will break tonight. >> little sisters of the poor and the keystone pipeline. >> what was the position on the little sisters? >> you have to watch the snow. give me a tease. >> i give him a jab at it. i do it in a funny way.
7:48 am
and on the pipeline that is interesting. >> do you think there is a budge on the pipeline? >> you have to watch. it will break news tonight. >> how did you leave it with him? >> i try to be friendly with everybody i cover. i think you know me i don't take all of this personally. you know i am not in it to injure him. in the interview, he is giving me jazz and i looked at him and said this is my job. my job is to ask you the toughest questions i can think of. >> why are they forcing catholic nuns to offer birth control? >> he thinks you should get the whole package whether you are a little consist of the poor.
7:49 am
>> you said his you think his heart is in the right place? >> i don't think he is trying to injure people. the hard right thinks he wants to destroy people. but i think he is wrong on a lot of things. i said here is the difference between you and me. it is good sequence tonight. i don't think he wants to hurt anyone. but i just think his policies are hurting people. >> we will be there at 8 p.m. eastern time. thank you, bill. >> looking forward to that tonight. and looking forward to this snow. >> john scott telling us what is coming up. >> flying my bronco's flag. >> my team, john, has been to the super bowl twice and lost both times.
7:50 am
the cincinnati bengals and it still hurts me. i was like three years old. >> you know the heart break. >> what do you have john? >> fireworks in the pre-super bowl interview between bill o'reilly and president obama among the topics the irs, benghazi and the botched health care rollout. and new details on the folks in limbo with health care. and a new study showing one fast food meal raises your bmi. >> many of us have been seen the video of the space jump. it is incredible. >> remember this? can you believe this guy? we will show you what it looks like from his perspective and
