3:01 am
banning a serviceman and his dog. "fox and friends" starts right now. >> well, good morning. it's sunday, 6:01 a.m. on the east coast. we are glad to see you. heather in for anna, rick in for clayton, it will be a great four-hour show. >> it is. >> there's nobody on the road out there. this is the time to get to work. >> it is fantastic. i think every one of our viewers is in the prone position right now. >> with the tv on. >> yes. >> i do that at 5:00 a.m. i'm used to seeing new york streets like that. >> you got to sleep in today. >> i did. i'm wide awake. >> you are very alert for this early. >> i'm glad you are here. >> nice to be here. it will be a fun show. >> what's going on in the world? >> we'll get straight to the headlines to tell you what's going on. it begins with tension on the high seas. an iran ship steaming to the u.s. borders for the first time.
3:02 am
a commander is saying the move is a message in a tit for tat move aimed to keep them in the persian gulf. a helicopter is carrying a supply ship and the u.s. officials say, quote, if they choose to send their ships to the atlantic, i'm sure they won't be surprised to find many, many other things already there. and a massive fire is burning in georgia and there's no telling when it will be out. flames and cloud of thick, black smoke can be seen from miles away. after the fire broke out, it was at a rubber plant at the port of savannah. good news is it is now contained, but crews say solid blocks of rubber are burning and it will take time to burn out. >> this fire is huge now. >> it was huge. we went over the bridge and it just seemed like it was billowing so big, it was bigger than life and the sky was black.
3:03 am
>> can you imagine what that smells like? burning rubber? the fire was fueled by 5600 tons of rubber. fortunately, nobody was injured. that's good news. and nearly 9 million pounds of meat is recalled after a california plant is caught processing animals without a full inspection. the recalled products are from rancho feeding corporation including 30 and 60-pound boxes of veal cuts and 20-pound boxes of beef oxtail. and remember makayla maroney's infamous looks from the 2012 olympics? she's got competition. check out ashley wagner that went from this look after her short program to this face of utter disappointment when she saw her scores. the good news is the score put her in fourth place with the
3:04 am
standings which was enough to help the u.s. advance. and those are a look at your headlines. >> she's got a career on broadway awaiting her. very expressive face. i'm totally impressed. have you been watching the olympics coverage? >> i have been watching it on and off. >> it's unbelievable. we were talking yesterday of nbc's descriptions of russia so over the top. russia mystifies, intrends, and they also kill millions. >> what do those words even mean? >> i'm not sure. but i'm not vladimir putin. it was amazing. >> people are saying, is this the olympics or the nutcracker? >> it really is. we were joking yesterday maybe there's some kind of product placement between nbc and the russian government where they are taking money joking about this, but who knows? listen to this, the nbc coverage of the opening ceremonies
3:05 am
including remarks by the ioc president thomas bach. let's play what nbc showed and we'll add what they didn't show. watch. >> thank you to all the people of sochi in the region. thank you for your patience. thank you for your understanding during this year's transformation. the olympic games are always about bringing people together. olympic games are never about erecting walls to keep people apart. >> oh, yes. so, what was left out? >> yes. do we have what was left out? >> we do. i'm so glad you asked that. we have it right here. for your edification at home, we are going to read it to you. this is from ioc president,
3:06 am
international olympic president, thomas bach. yes, it is possible even as competitors to live together under one roof in harmony without tolerance and without any form of discrimination for whatever reason. it is directly coming from the an-gay rhetoric leading up to this. >> the only thing we heard was russia's intolerance to homosexuality. since that was the one thing we have been hearing about, that was the one comment from the ioc chairman that was interesting, or could have had any rell vaps to what we have been talking about in the last six months, and that doesn't make it in there. >> if you were running the moscow chamber of commerce, what's the one line you would want to take out? >> that line. >> exactly. >> why did nbc choose to take that out? >> it is so difficult to get into the mind of people who run nbc news. >> it could just be timing.
3:07 am
they edit things all the time for time. there's commercials and we all know you hear every day, we have to wrap our very interesting interview for the sake of time. so it's possible. >> but you don't want to wrap right when the guy is saying, and then i killed a man. you're trying to identify in journalism the most interesting, most news-worthy part of any statement, and from my perspective, that was the most interesting part, no? >> but this isn't the first time nbc has done this, either. in 2012 when the olympics were in london, they also cut out a portion, which was a tribute to those that had died in the 2007 terrorist attack in london. they cut that out completely. so they took flak for that as well. so they have done this before. >> they said that was because it was an american audience and that didn't happen on american soil. >> and none of the victims had american passports. >> uh-huh. to watch the hammer and sickle come together on this stage at the olympics was really no commentary. i just kept thinking, what if
3:08 am
the swastika was rolled out representing the killing of millions, no big deal. part of the pageantry. come on! >> nbc did issue a statement and we have that. were you going to say that? or do you want me to read it? >> please. >> i don't know how it works, i'm just filling in. i didn't want to take your -- >> i love it! >> nbc said this, their quoted, the ioc president's comments were edited for time, as were other speeches, but his message got across very clearly to viewers. so do you believe that was the case? >> well, it didn't come across clearly to me. >> listen, i think some of the comments he made that we didn't see, they were comments and they touched generally on the idea of the olympics and what that's about. it still missed that one piece, but -- >> can i just say, my favorite part of this whole olympic spectacle so far was american johnny quinn getting trapped in
3:09 am
the bathroom. having to break through the door, using his bobsled training to escape from the bathroom. it's like everything in russia is dangerous, even the men's room. >> i kept hearing it was going to be all these bathrooms with just lines of toilets with no walls in between. so there were probably more than one person inside that bathroom sitting there. >> those are your choices. either you have the gang bathroom or you have the cell bathroom like the prison, from which there's no escape. >> and there has been a big line for the cell bathroom until now because there's a big hole in the door. >> there's a picture online of the bathroom with the additional seats, like the fold-out chairs sitting in front of the toilet. like -- that's crazy. >> it's hilarious. >> it looks like the door was made of cardboard. i don't think it will cost a lot. >> rick, you are not only hosting but keeping one the weather. >> i can do that part without much thought. let's do it. we'll talk about the
3:10 am
weather. temperaturewise, this looks like it has for a while with the inc. color at the top, that's where the cold air is not going anywhere. across the eastern part of the country, we have snow that moved through chicago overnight in to detroit and around cleveland headed to the northeast. it will develop into a little bit of a coastal storm eventually. and maybe up to three to six inches of snow near boston. two to three around the new york city area this afternoon and tonight. the big story is out across the west. this is such great news that we're getting a lot of rain. we might get so much rain so quickly over the next few days we get flooding going on in northern california. i think by tomorrow that's when the moisture pulls up more to the pacific northwest. places like oregon and washington. and then by tuesday we'll see it move back down to california, so they are getting much-needed rain. it's the pineapple express. >> i like that. >> we call it a pineapple express, feeding moisture coming in from hawaii and targeting the west coast and it's stuck there. that's great news, they need it. >> the pineapple express sounds pretty appealing.
3:11 am
>> thank you. coming up, think having your man help around the house will improve your marriage? ladies, you are wrong according to a new study. the study shows marriage equality has the opposite effect on intimacy. whoa! buckle your seat belts. >> ladies, we'll talk about that and debate. and obamacare not just affecting jobs and health care plans, now your taxes getting hit, too. what you need to know before you file. that is up next. ♪ mine was earned in korea in 1953.

it's that time of year when americans begin to prepare and file taxes, but now due to obamacare, there are specific changes you need to be aware of when it comes to your taxes. here the break it down is jerry
3:15 am
lynch. thank you for getting up with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> taxes are the worst time of year for everybody all the time, but it is getting more difficult now because there's a bunch of new regulations. >> well, i don't think anybody really plans for the tax returns. and what happens is in april or in february they bring their cpa a shoebox worth of receipts. if they get a refund, they think they have won and if they don't, they yell at their cpa. the most important thing people can do is talk to their cpa during the tax year so they can have an impact on their taxes for the next year. >> that's great advice. we'll talk about a couple other things changing this year. so from married couples earning $250,000 and individuals earning $200,000, there's a new medicare tax? >> there's a tax on earned income, which is .9%, so it's not on the entire income you have, only on the minimum
3:16 am
amounts. there's nothing you can do on that. it is income you get from work, so it is what it is. on the investment income, there's a 3.8% surcharge, which is on interest that you get from your bank account, capital gains, dividend income, anything that is considered investment-related income. that you have a lot of control over. >> how so? >> well, i mean, for example, instead of being in taxable interest, i can be in municipal bonds. those are exempt from the surcharges. if i have a capital gain and i have to sell out of a security, what i can do is sell something that has a loss to offset the gain. if i'm thinking about getting married, marry someone with a loss carry forward to offset the gains i have. >> it's also a brand new dating strategy. >> it is. >> the next one is unreimbursed medical expenses for those under 65. >> for the most part, you won't get a deduction on your medical. you have to exceed 10% of your income to document your medical
3:17 am
expenses. if you are getting relatively close to that, one of the things we suggest to people is bunch your exemptions to hit it. this year, i want to go for as much medical as i can, i want to do dental, get my eyeglasses, get as many deductions as possible. so if i'm exceeding the threshhold, i have the ability to write it off. >> under obamacare the threshholds went up. >> from 7.5% to 10%. so? general you are not getting a deduction. >> in 2015 there are also going to be changes. for the people who did not enroll in obamacare, there are fines coming. >> it's not that big. again, it is $95 for a single, and $238 for a family. it is not -- i think if you'll have a penalty for somebody, have such a penalty that means i have to change this. >> isn't that coming in 2016? the penalty the first year is low, but it ramps up. >> if somebody is healthy, it is
3:18 am
not as much incentive than to just pay the penalty. for those not getting into the medical system, the higher users, you're going to have adverse selection going through the system and it won't be good. >> is there any penalty for people who do buy it? >> there's not a penalty, depending on your income, you may qualify for a tax credit. and a tax credit really is a dollar for dollar deduction off your tax liability, which verses a tax deduction, which is only a percentage. to give you an example, if i get a $1,000 tax credit, it reduces my tax liability by $1,000. if i get a $1,000 tax deduction and am in the 25% tax bracket, i only get $250 back. so that is very nice. >> except that it gets passed on to somebody else. >> somebody is always picking up the tab. >> jerry lynch, thank you for this information. >> very nice. >> coming up, forget about republicaning a local hero.

stretcher with minor injuries. and the u.s. army veteran with an amputated leg was kicked out of a starbucks in texas because of his service dog. the employee demanded he prove he was disabled. the veteran's left leg was amputated in 2009 due to bone cancer. a starbucks spokesperson has since apologized. >> as they should have. well, divorce and unwed childbearing cost you as taxpayers a whopping $120 billion every year and is costing our country in more ways than one. >> this week is national marriage week, the goal so s to strengthen marriages and in return have a stronger country. here is executive director of the national marriage week usa, sheila, thank you for joining us. >> great to be here. >> three tips on how to build a strong marriage. >> first of all, we are in the middle of national marriage week, and we want to have people
3:24 am
find more success. and we want to stir movement of marriage education all across america. so our three tips would first be, have regular date nights because it building communication and enjoyment and intimacy. and secondly, to go find a marriage workshop or class. there are a huge number of videotapes and books, classes, people don't know about them. we have them all on our website, a huge resource for people, and we want to encourage that because it makes a difference. and third n the middle of that date night, use words of affirmation and finds ways to express appreciation. if you are going out on a date night, don't have it be the time where you are just managing your family planning and bringing some of your conflicts into that evening. have it be a time where we have tips on how to have a great date night. >> when you talk about marriage education, are you talking about educating the public on the benefits of marriage or education on how to maintain a happy and healthy marriage? >> it's both. national marriage week has a lot
3:25 am
of resources about why marriage is so beneficial because people do have greater levels of happiness and it is better for children, it gives them more access to success. but also we want people to learn how to have the skills that are needed. it's a skillset that is funny, we don't have a lot of natural brick and mortar schools for this topic, but it's one of the most important skills we can have. we want people to learn more effective ways to speak to each other so that they can -- their spouse will feel heard, like they have been listened to, you have your needs being met in ways that are both loving and respectful. >> it's not all about date night and wine and roses and lovey dovey stuff, as you're married, you have to do the chores. you have to get the house in order. but apparently it's a problem if men and women are sharing the chores. is that right? >> well, i think it's a good
3:26 am
thing when one party doesn't feel like they are doing 80% of the work and the other is doing 20% and that leads to resentment and that kind of thing. however, with women having more opportunities, exhaustion is the big issue. it's just sheer exhaustion that keeps people from connecting with each other and maintaining their love life. so that's when we say, date night is not like valentine's day. it's not a time to be with your kids or on a group date. it's a time for the one-on-one twomany together. >> there's a report that came out that when men are doing chores, that in the past might have been chores that women are doing, there's less intimacy in their relationship. >> women are less attracted to their mates when the men do female chores, what do you think of that? >> i don't think it's as simple as what the men are doing, the female task. i think it is a completeevel th couples are so busy they are
3:27 am
neglecting -- you have to be intentional about saying our love life is and our intimacy is a high value. and you have to almost plan for it because we plan everything else. we schedule everything else in our lives. so i think it's much more complex than the attitude that you have toward one another. i just think you -- we are not dealing with the fact that our lives are overwhelmed and that we are too busy. >> sheila weber, thank you for joining us. >> i'm glad both of you worded it that way. that what previously was thought of as maybe a female chore. i'm very glad that you both worded it that way. >> we are all afraid of using the wrong word. >> all of us. thank you. coming up, the olympics kicking off peacefully, but the terror fears are far from over. our panel of terrorist experts are here live with the threats facing our country and what needs to be done to keep us safe. and caught on camera, a race

3:44 am
u.s. to keep the olympic games safe? we'll assemble a panel of experts with michael kay, retired navy s.e.a.l., jonathan gillion. do you trust russia to keep the olympics safe? >> yes. you're talking a about major superpower. at the end of the day they have the capability, power and resources. are they putting everything they need in this? yes, they are. >> are they confident enough? >> yes. are they us? no. the united states works differently, but they are competent with the resources, but they work differently than we do. >> the department of human rights concerns, are you concerned, jonathan? >> well, i'm a lit more concerned in a different area. i ran special events here in new york for three years for the fbi, but having been a s.e.a.l. before, i look at things from a tactical perspective. they have had seven years to plan that we're talking about this effort. seven years to plan attacks because they were announced seven years ago.
3:45 am
so this is -- unless they have buttoned up everything, and a big problem in special events are egos of the executives. a lot of things are planned eg effectiveness of the security breaks down because of that. >> what are the threats? >> that's a great question. we are talking about the toothpaste threats on the side. let's be clear and in no uncertain terms, the most aggressive threats is from an organization which is headed up by islamic extremists, a previous chechian rebel. what he did in 2007 is declared the whole region an emirates. what that has done, tucker, is that has pulled in a lot of foreign fighters under the
3:46 am
guides of the international jihad. that's where the u.s., the cia, the nsa, that's where the british mi-6 and the russian security service, former kgb, that's where their eyes have been focused for months if not years in the lead up to the games. >> to what extent is the u.s. government cooperating with the russian to keep this secure? >> we are going to give them intelligence and information. do they want us there inserting ourselves or do they appreciate us having warships on standby? they do not. how do we feel if the olympics were in new york? would we want them to say, let us be on your u.s. soil. no, we would say if you have information, we'll take it, but just hang out and be on standby. >> jonathan, do you think there are american security operatives with guns in russia right now trying to protect american athletes? >> it's been reported there's over 140 american there is in security positions. my biggest concern, though, again is that not necessarily people are being protected but the people going there to watch

the show. really the vulnerability falls on their shoulders. i would say overall. >> so they are the ones facing the real risk. >> i think so. and also, the boston bombing was a great example of what happens when you have even a small breakdown in communications between countries when it comes to threats. and they do not share the complete picture of the threats. that's where the breakdown starts. >> so the russians have been completely ruthless from what i can tell in trying to put down the chechen insurgency, but they have not been successful. why? >> there are two war that is went on in the 1990s. one in '94 and one in '99. and the russians actually lost the war to chechen fighters in '94. there were over 100,000 civilians killed in that war alone. and over 5,000 russian soldiers. just to put that into context, there are 4,000 u.s. killed in afghanistan in ten years, so the area is absolutely brutal, but jonathan has a good point, i think that the way this can be
3:48 am
counted, the threat, is through the people themselves. the old addage, if you see something strange, say something. we live in a world where there's global terrorism and insurgency and people are looking to commit these types of atrocity. this is on all of us, it is no longer somebody else's responsibility. yes, there's a plethora of security to try to help us, but it's also down to the individual. if you see a suspicious package or someone acting strange, get on the phone and tell an official. that's the way we have to operate. >> if you see something, we are out of time, but would each of you feel comfortable sending your family to see the games? >> yes, absolutely. no matter how much security you have, no matter how many layers of perimeter, at the end of the day you cannot guarantee it. >> would you feel comfortable sending your family? >> no. >> would you? >> i would, just every two hours in the u.s. a pedestrian is knocked over and killed by a

"the washington post" and many others agree. watch as we flashback this week with the ceo of why obamacare -- watch. >> by providing heavily subsidized health insurance and withdrawaling them as income rises, the act creates a disincentive for people to work. >> this is a choice people have. it's not making somebody worse
4:05 am
off to give them an option they didn't have before. >> when somebody decides for himself or herself not to work, they are making a choice about their overall quality of life. >> they are. guess who is paying for it? you are. i would like to make a choice to work 30 hours a week. >> the report came out and the white house tried to spin it to make it sound positive. >> the report, bipartisan, no one questions the pitical bias they report. it's simple, 2.3 million jobs will be lost because of obamacare. it's good. >> yeah. regardless of whether you are saying people are choosing to quit and that's why the jobs are gone or regardless, still, the number is the same, 2.3 million jobs will be gone within the next decade. then, you know, who pays for that? also, that's out of the tax base

"the washington post" interviewed a number of people who left their jobs voluntarily. why am i working so hard? >> right. >> i shouldn't. take time for me. >> where is the choice of those who quit their jobs? i don't have a choice. >> there is none. >> right. >> there is something to be said for some people who have things they would like to invent, create, that possibly they can leave and get their health insurance in another way. if they are going to be productive, create jobs and provide for themselves. the bottom line is it makes no sense to provide incentives for people to quit their jobs. >> what you are saying is to uncouple health insurance from a specific job is probably useful. it's not useful to force other people to pay for it. >> in some cases. the byproduct of that is a huge
4:07 am
amount of people that choose to stop working because they can now and they can get more subsidies. >> this should not be surprising. mccoy ross has been looking at health care for 20 years since hillarycare had this to say about obamacare and said this was the plan all along. watch. >> they want people who are working to get health benefits to be able to quit their jobs or reduce their hours and go on the obamacare exchanges and have the taxpayer pay for it instead. that's exactly what's happening here. so, the agenda is, less personal responsibility and more taxpayer dependence. i say taxpayer dependence, the government doesn't have money. it comes from your pocket and mine. >> now that the people have dropped out of the labor force, we need more immigration. >> right. >> to replace people who dropped off because they can't find jobs
4:08 am
or decide not to work. we replace them with people that are cheaper from other countries. >> michael said in his op-ed, we have it straight from the white house creating jobs is not their goal. instead, the president's legislation is helping people get health care while avoiding work. >> right. >> bottom line. >> leave the work force. that's a good thing. i guess this is what they are left with. you can't create jobs, i guess you are left with this. speaking of ironies, the hypocricy alert of the day. the naacp is up in arms when people have to produce id. the world should know it's you voting. the naacp says it's against civil rights. the people were instructed to bring their id. >> they provided a lift of things to prepare and bring with you to the rally.

ironically, half way through is bring your id and keep it with you at all times. >> i feel it's an assault on the civil liberties. that's outrageous. they are trying to discourage people from coming to the march. it's a known fact if you ask someone to bring an id, you are assaulting them. >> i have never understood the argument. why not have to have your id when you have to have it for just about everything else? i don't understand the argument against having it or making it a necessity. >> here is what doesn't make sense is arguing simultaneously that voting is the most important civil duty. the most important thing to do is vote and not take seriously voter fraud. if voting is that important, we want to protect it to make sure the process isn't polluted by people voting when they shouldn't be voting.

the statement he made was great. >> absolutely. >> talking about kenneth bae and being in prison. >> we have been waiting for him to talk more about this. we can't immediately say why isn't he talking about religious freedom at home without saying what he's done here is a good thing. he's spoken out about russians, religious freedom abuses, which is a very, very good thing and human rights abuses. very happy about that. but, when he does talk about it, he is opening himself up for more criticism, well deserved criticism for the abuses of religious freedoms at home. we mentioned the hhs mandate, forcing religious groups and people, private citizens who are owners of businesses who have -- whose conscience tells them not to do it for free.

we see religious groups having to get out of the good business of adoption. why? unless you put children in homosexual homes, you can't do it. the human trafficking on catholic bishops. they are out of the business, why? they are not providing free abortion to the women being trafficked. it's a big deal that he's saying, little by little, if you don't follow my ideology, you can't be involved in charitable work. >> they have an organization that was given the very best grades for years. the federal government was giving money not only to that group, but lots of other private groups for their work against human trafficking. they cut that off. why? they came up with new criteria that says unless you provide

abortion services you are not up to the task. >> are you serious? >> money is cut. nobody talking about it. those are the examples. talk about new york times piece. this gets me riled up. there was a new york times article put on my twitter after this @fatherjonathan. it explains the philosophy of our administration that the reason the hhs mandate, for example, must be enforced, if you don't enforce it, you are establishing one religion over another. they are using an establishment clause to get rid of the free exercise clause. i believe it's a new strategy. it's a new way of going about. we can't give you a conscience break because we don't want to establish your religion over someone else who doesn't have that. that is an unbelievably, i would say disgusting strategy.

germany. they had to retrieve something and the problem is the story-telling. it doesn't give you enough of a backstory on the men to engage with them on screen. and it became slow, the pacing was off, i found myself honestly bored. frustratingly enough, i went a second time to make sure my thoughts were what they were, and i gave it a two out of five. that means -- let me say this, castwise, performancewise it works, it is shot well, the photography is beautiful, but it didn't do much for me. he underexaggerated an incredible true story.

5:06 am
thank you for your patience. thank you for your understanding during this year's transformation. olympic games are always about bring i bringing people together. olympic games are never about erecting walls to keep people apart. >> wait, so, the edit happened right in there, they cut -- >> you could hear it there. >> this is amazing. this is actually what was said in there that ended up getting left on the floor. yes, it is possible, even as competitors, to live together under one roof in harmony with tolerance and without any form of discrimination for whatever reason. >> see, that's the newsworthy part of the statement because that is bleak but pretty direct, really, reference to the controversy over russia and gay rights. that's the one thing you would want to leave in and they took
5:07 am
it out. >> the thing also interesting is that nbc has had the olympics for many years and certainly have funneled a lot of money into the ioc. >> sure. >> so you would think, are they -- whose hands are they -- >> there are a lot of negotiations with the host government. i don't care what everybody says. i'm not sure they are directly carrying water for putin or taking money, i don't know any of that, but they talk to him. >> with what rick said, you would think it would be more beholden to anyone, the ioc, versus putin for making these decisions as to what they are going to edit since they are not carrying it live to begin with, which is a whole other issue. they have been known to edit in the past because they have to get the commercials in there and get it paid for. it's all about the money. >> this is just an issue of editing. we have this happen all the time, you have four minutes of great stuff, you have to fit it into three minutes. >> it is just news judgment. you don't edit out the one interesting statement in a long soliloquy. >> are they having judgment?
5:08 am
bob costas thinks he has a lot of judgment. >> a lot of editorial judgment. but here's what nbc said for what it's worth, the ioc president's comments were edited for time, as were other speeches, but his message got across to the viewers. well, not to this viewer. >> you can find this all on twitter. >> here's the issue, next time they put a hammer and sickle on stage at the olympics, which is like putting a swastika on the stage to represent the murder of millions of people, maybe somebody could say, wow, that's offensive. i don't think anybody did. >> you mean one of the broadcasters -- >> i was surprised by that. >> right. >> here's the most entertaining thing in my view that's happened at the entire olympics. the u.s. olympian johnny quinn was locked in a russian men's room, which virtually everything in russia turns out to be pretty dangerous. >> take a look at this picture that he tweeted after he busted
5:09 am
out of this bathroom. you can see the letrine back there. he's a good guy. it's a good thing he was a big guy. >> although the door looks like it is made of cardboard. >> so basically the message -- he says with no phone to call for help, i used my bobsled push training to break out. i hope he wins. let's add bathroom to the russian devices you don't want to get into, including space stations, planes, elevators, basically anything made by man. >> a lot of people have been following the #sochiproblems. because there are so many things. >> it reminds me of the movie "the shining" where he busts through the wall and says "here's johnny!" >> if you're bored, next time go on youtube and type in russian dash cam and you'll be amazed at the number of things that to russian motorists. i mean, moose just jump through the front of the car,

it's hard to believe we have had so much winter already and we are only into february. so we've got a long ways to go. we have this kind of plume of moisture that's coming in from hawaii from the tropics in the pacific in towards the west coast of the u.s. and it's great news. it's been so dry for so long in the west. and now we're getting really beneficial rain across areas of northern california. probably by the time the next week is done we'll see a few spots that see over ten inches of rain. you think, that's great and should solve the drought. they need about 30 inches of rain in one month to solve the drought. so we need numerous batches of rain. obviously there's going to be flooding problems, but we need the rain and will take the rain. the next few days we'll see the rain move to parts of oregon and washington where we have seen incredible snow. record-breaking snow into the lower elevation. temperaturewise, 43 today in seattle. 10 in rapid city. 7 in minneapolis. tomorrow you see temps drop down to 3 in chicago. you cannot get a break this winter. over 60 inches of snow in
5:12 am
chicago. they have had these incredibly cold temperatures. >> wait, 60? >> 60. >> they should have 20 inches normally, but this time of year they have 60 inches. that's one thing when it gets above freezing and it melts, but it hasn't melted. >> it is still cold there. next on the rundown, the white house was in a rush to pass to baa pennsylvanobamacaree eyeing another delay. chris wallace is on this next. and she's in trouble of housing for the 99%, but this local official is living high on the hog in some of the priciest real estate thanks to a sweetheart deal. more on the hypocrisy coming up next. ♪ dentures are very different to real teeth.

well, the white house weighing another extension to obamacare, this time until after 2016 when there is a presidential election. is this a coincidence? >> or a political play? joining us now is the host of fox sunday's chris wallace. good morning. >> good morning. good to be with you guys. >> what about this rumored change to this plan? is that something that is a rumor, is it substantiated? >> no, at this point the administration is saying it is under consideration. they are certainly not saying it is a done deal, but they are
5:17 am
saying it is under consideration and that's kind of interesting because what we are talking about here are the millions of people with individual policies who have those policies canceled from last fall. and then we learn that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan turned out not to be true. what's so interesting about this is that the president then backtracked and said, okay, because of all the confusion, someone said because it is misleading, that people would be able to keep their plans for another year to allow them more time to plan. the problem with that politically is that all their policies would be canceled next october just before the november election. now and again, this is just under consideration. it's not definite, but the administration is saying, well, maybe we'll allow people to keep their plans for three more years, which would put it past 2016. what's so interesting and curious about that is the fact that one of the points of obamacare was to do away with these policies because they are supposedly substandard and
5:18 am
obamacare has a higher standard, so basically they are saying because of all of this, and some would say it's because of the election, they might let people keep substandard plans, not for one year but for four years. >> so the etna ceo said the other day that the third largest insurance company may pull out of obamacare, is that worrying the white house? >> well, sure. and in fairness, again, mark bertolini, i think you have a clip, and we'll play the clip, but he made it clear this is a worse-case scenario. let's listen to the clip. >> pulling out is always the last resort. we don't like to do that because we disenfranchise customers, and we disappoint customers. so we always look at that as the last resort, but that is an option that we will pursue if we need to if the program doesn't settle down if we can't get a good handle on the data. >> now, you can argue that what
5:19 am
bertolini really is doing is firing a shot across the ballot, the white house saying stop screwing around with policy, we can't do business unless you stop making these unilateral changes. we may just pull out. that would be a terrible scenario because it wouldn't just be aetna, obviously other big insurers would pull out, and then you run the risk that people have even fewer choices of doctors, of plans of insurance companies. so that would be very worrying were it to happen. that sounds to be more like a vailed threat to the white house. >> fewer choices, higher costs, you can't keep your plan or your insurer possibly, so not a lot has gone as planned for obamacare. what else are you going to be talking about on "fox news sunday"? >> we are going to be talking about obamacare and the gop flip on immigration reform. last week it looked like they were all in on immigration reform in the house. now they are saying probably not this year. we'll talk to two senate leaders, roe blunt of missouri,

and new york's commissioner for affordable housing may not be able to relate to the people she's supposed to be helping. vicky bin was just named to "the post" but she lives in a multimillion home financed by her employer new york university. the sound you hear in the background is the irony alarm going off. rick? well, thank you, tucker. dating is going digital with a growing number of people turning to technology to find love, can an app or website really help you in finding a long-lasting relationship? let's ask the co-founder and ceo of how about we and the expert of love at first click, laurie davis. i remember thinking 20 years ago people put ads in the newspaper looking for love and thought that sounded crazy. and now it's as easy as your phone. this is possibly a good thing for people wanting to find love,
5:26 am
brian? >> absolutely. the internet has brought forward the true reinvention of how people find love today. we begin from 2010 to focus on getting people online, and now more usage is taking place through mobile devices, which we are seeing a tremendous explosion over the past year. >> laurie, for a long time there was a stigma against online dating. now that we have gone to a cell phone, is that stigma gone or a generational thing that the stigma is gone? >> no, i mean, i have clients ranging from 19 to 70, so it's definitely not an age thing, the stigma is gone. and if you think about the way that we communicate socially, it happens a lot digitally, too. so it is natural that with our dating lives we want to do that, also. >> it makes sense. brian, 11% of adults have used online dating sites or mobile apps. 3% used them five years ago, so it was a big increase in that a lot of younger people are using
5:27 am
this because this is easy, or is it not? tell us about that. >> we see different habits because of people when they are in their early 20s, they are flirting and texting and going out sometimes, but as people mature into their late 20s and 30s and look for a relationship, then you find a much more serious and committed kind of user behavior towards meeting someone you want to be in a relationship with. >> okay. it makes sense. so, laurie, you are an expert in e-flirting, so there are ways you can help to make it a more useful tool to actually find love? >> yeah, absolutely. if you think about it, it's technology. so one of the things we do is optimize their experience in technology. you should be thinking about this as a single.
5:28 am
for example, if you make small tweaks to your profile or you upload a new photo, usually you go to the top of the search results and that's where you want to be. and also, like brian said, getting offline is ultimately the reason why you're there. it's the most important part. but increasingly i'm finding that people struggle, especially when on apps with getting offline, because the transition isn't always as smooth, which sounds surprising but it's true because you're using inept communication. so it's more like texting than e-mailing, so ultimately you have to get offline and try to do that within the first few days of communicating. >> isn't there some kind of addiction that happens with these things when you're looking at so many people over and over again that it is just part of the game? >> so one thing we have seen in how about about we is the way the site works, people go on and say how about we and a date they would like to go on. so how about we go get sangria at this rooftop bar i know. and that premise of, here's what
5:29 am
we are going to do, focuses the conversation on getting offline quickly. and that helps a lot to get out of just the addictive behavior where you are essentially seeing who likes you and doesn't like you. so our focus has always been, how do we help people to actually go to see if there's a real spark with someone in the world, because if you don't figure that out, what's the real snount. >> laurie, be honest, what are the best apps to download out there? >> well, there are so many, which is the challenge, but the truth is that the best app for you is where you find the best matches. some sites attract different types of people, so the best thing to do is if you're looking to join a new site is to join for free first and go through some of your matches. and then you can decide if it's the right fit for you based on the people that you see on it. >> that's great. laurie and brian, thank you so much. it's a great new world out there. i guess we have to get used to that. coming up, a fast-moving mudslide washes away the road as cars drive on it.

might humiliate those that are on food stamps, i've been asked many, many times when i produce a credit card to buy something to show photo i.d. and it didn't humiliate me. also, one other idea is that my bank of america puts my photo on my debit card. so when i put my debit card out there, they know it's me. i think we can do the same with dbt cards. we are talking about $800 million a year to cut out in fraud. and that feeds a lot of people. >> right. people on the left are against this because they don't think there's a stigma attached to living on the dole, but there are a lot of people making a ton of money from food stamps, the stores that sell the products, the manufacturers that make the products, the farmer that is grow the food, they can't be for this. >> no. well, the fact is nobody wants any changes. everybody likes the gravy train and just let the money keep coming. right now in our country there's 47 million people on food stamps.

6:02 am
obamacare. full time jobs. kind of hard for the white house to argue this. so instead, they embraced it. they said you know what? that's a good thing because it means americans will be working less. and if you want to leave your job, now you can. lower workforce participation is actually a good thing. >> yes. >> well, the problem with that, potentially it isn't a bad idea except now you're going to be getting health care subsidized and that's subsidized on our backs. >> by people that don't have a choice. and you use the term lost jobs, they want to say that it's a choice and that they're not losing jobs with that these people now can go out and be a painter or, you know, be an author and do something else. they have the privilege of leaving their jobs. but the problem is, then that puts that on our shoulders. >> sure on. just because you're not working doesn't mean you're not eating or paying rent. you are. and someone else is paying for them. so we've got a little montage here or the debate as it unfolds. the first thing you'll see is pboc doug helmandorf.
6:03 am
>> by providing heavily subsidized health insurance to people with she ve low income and withdrawing those subsidies as income rises, the act creates a disincentive for people to work relative to what would have been the case in the absence of that act. >> this is an extra choice people have. that's not making somebody worse off to give them an option they didn't have before. when somebody decides for himself or not to work but to work instead for 35 hours, they're make a choice about their overall quality of life. >> it's so insulting. it's so unbelievably insulting to the people who are working so hard in this country to put their kids through school, to pay rent, for him to get tlup, oots rich guy dismissing that. some people don't want.to work that hard. really? >> yes. the amount of money that's then coming out of the tax base for all of those full time jobs that are now gol going to become part-time jobs and then they're obviously not going to be paid the same amount of money and then we have to compensate for that, as well. >> the problem is, anything that
6:04 am
gives people a disincentive to work is the problem. we want people to work and we all should want to work to pay our way in society. but this is doing exactly that. it is giving a disincentive for people to work. >> meanwhile, the administration is arguing on behalf of doubling the administration in this country. >> you're saying there's a tiend to that. >> of course there's a tie-in. people drop out of the labor ford. then the white house says we have a wage shortage. so they bring in more people with lower wages. it's a vicious cycle. by the way, if the president says he's concern about income inequality, where does it come from? it comes from policies like this. >> but there are other media t outlets that seem to be buying into this being a good thing, "the washington post" being one of them. they had this article where they quoted this woman that said she was able to quit her job as a
6:05 am
result and said that that was a good thing. she's happy about it. and, in fact, said she might have had to grit her teeth and accept the new position because she needed the health benefits, a position that she didn't want to take. they were kind of changing her job description. but because she didn't like it, she was able to quit. >> yeah. that's awesome. imagine -- >> my job description changes, i'm not able to quit. >> well, imagine having a job that's not exactly what you want. that's not super fun where you have to get up early or do unpleasant things. you don't have to do it now because the administration is not going to pay you to work. you're all set. did you know that, rick? is this your last day here on "fox & friends" -- >> i had to get up an hour earlier today to do this and i didn't like that much. >> well, thanks to obamacare, you don't have to. so take a listen to what betsy says that this is exactly what the plan for obamacare and the democrats have been pushing all along. >> they want people who are working to get health benefits to be able to quit their jobs or
6:06 am
reduce their hours and go on the obamacare exchanges and have the taxpayer pay for their health plan instead. and that's exactly what is happening here. so the agenda is less personal responsibility and more taxpayer dependance and i think taxpayer dependance because government doesn't have money. it's coming out of your pocket and mine. >> i'm not a conspiracy nut, but i do know politics fairley well. here are the political facts about this. the overwhelming majority of people who are receiving the real benefit from obamacare, the net benefit are oh back ma -- and the overwhelming majority of people are not. so there isn't too much political cost for the white house because the people getting shafted by obamacare weren't going to support democrats anyway, by and large. not all of them, but a lot of them. >> a little over 3 million people have signed up so far. the administration itself set a goal of 7 million by tend of march. so it remains to be seen if

they'll reach that goal or maybe they'll change it a little bit. extend out that deadline, as well? >> well, they're going to bail out the insurance industry is what they're going to do next. >> jobs are a trap. >> instead of being a good thing. >> right. jobs are good thing, jobs are now a trap that you're trapped into and you should want to get out. >> exactly. this is the new line. it's when the climate gets colder, you just change the terms. so now unable to reduce the stubbornly high unemployment rate, which in real terms is into double digits. we haven't created new jobs, but jobs aren't worth having in the first place. what you need is more leisure time. >> which attacks the basis of what it means to be an american. the way i was raised, and i think probably most of you at home were raised, the goal is to get a job, work hard .now you're rewarded. but now it's the opposite is coming true. so quit your job, work less, and then you reap the rewards, anyway. >> i had the opposite experience.
6:08 am
i was incredibly lazy. serious. i stopped being lazy the second i had no money to be lazy. my parents stopped supporting me and i got married and i was like, wow, i have to work now. so i actually think people -- at least speaking for myself, i will be lazy as long as i will be allowed to be. the second i can't be lazy, i get the hell out of bed. >> but democrats will claim the opposite when it comes town employment benefits. >> if someone would subsidize my not working, i probably wouldn't work and i would probably fall apart. >> i'm not going to subsidize you being lazy, i'll tell you that right now. now we have some headlines to look at right now. and we begin with this. i did not kill him and i could have saved him. those shocking claims now coming from philip seymour hoffman's drug dealer. robert feinberg talking to the new york post saying i could have saved him.
6:09 am
if i knew he was in town, i would have said, hey, let's make an aa meeting. if i was with him, it wouldn't have happened, not under my guard. police busted him after finding more than 300 bags of heroine in his apartment. he claimed that he was friends with hoffman for about a year, denies selling him the heroine that ultimately killed him. to iran at this hour, warships are steaming towards u.s. boarders for the first time. a senior iranian naval commander saying the move is aimed at protesting u.s. naval presence in the persian golf. the iranian fleet consistent oefs a destroyer and a ship carrying helicopters, but it's unknown how much of the ships are headed to the border. a u.s. defense official says quarterback quote, if they choose to send their ships to the atlantic, i'm sure they won't be too surprised to find well b many others already there. and he is the top dog when it comes to agility. a border colley named kelso ran
6:10 am
away from the westminster dog show with the big prize in the first ever agility competition. kelso beat out nearly 225 other dogs through the obstacle course. look at that. is that kelso? and for the first time in the show's 138-year history, mixed breeds, they were able to compete. and a husky named rue won the special award for being the best mixed breed dog. and those are your headlines. so good for rue and kelso. >> let's bag the last 50 minutes of the show and just run dog video. >> i like the little one with the tiny legs. >> jack russell. >> that's always great. can you hear that in the background? do you hear the ringing sound? that's the hypocrisy sound we have here at fox and it's blaring. it's going off like a fog horn. why? y in washington. organized this to come and
6:11 am
protest what they call insidious attempts to show voter participation. that is republican attempts to get voters to show i.d.s when they vote. >> so on they put out a list of all the attenders at this rally should be aware of, things to prepare for, things to bring. right down there in the middle of that list is do bring your photo identification, your driver's license, passport or other valid photo i.d. with you and keep it on your person at auts all times. >> yeah. so you need it for the march, but you don't need it to vote. >> and to take out a library book and get on an airplane and brush your teeth. just about everything else in this requires an i.d. except voting. don't you feel like it's demeaning the naacp asking peemg to bring i.d.? their position itself is i.d. is demeaning. >> don't you think someone would have proof red thread that list? >> this is not the most self-aware group in america. pretty telling, though.
6:12 am
if you thought the irs was done with targeting the tea party and conservative groups? think again. some say it's happening still to this day. and a high wire act. so,000 feet in the air doesn't go quite as planned. >> whoa. >> but wait until you hear what these daredevils do next. >> oh. huh...fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. mmmhmmm...everybody knows that. well, did you know that old macdonald was a really bad speller? your word is...cow. cow. cow. c...o...w... ...e...i...e...i...o.

is a really big deal.u with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so call your doctor right away. tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately.
6:15 am
children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. so don't wait. attack the flu virus at its source. ask your doctor about tamiflu, prescription for flu. well, you would think after all the controversy the irs has received, that it would stop its targeting of conservative groups. oh, but think again. >> the irs scandal is not over. it is continuing to this day, and the department of justice investigation is a sham.
6:16 am
it is a nonexistent investigation. >> well, those are very serious charges and joining us now is the attorney making the allegations. attorney mitchell joins us live this morning. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> tell us what you mean, that the targeting continues. it's pretty shocking. >> well, it is shocking. after the treasury inspector general issued his report in may talking about the targeting, after congress started talking about hearings last may and june about the targeting, the irs sent another round of on letters at the end of the summer to organizations who did not accept the special deal that acting commissioner danny wo on rbel, who was sent over from the white house to the irs, he issued this deal to conservative and tea party groups, hundreds of them who had not yet received their tax exempt status. and those who didn't accept the deal, because it was a bad deal,
6:17 am
they got another round of letters and two of my clients got those letters. one of them finally got their exempt status in november after 3 1/2 years. another group, the tea party patriots, still doesn't have its tax exempt status after more than three years. >> that's unbelievable. we know during the last presidential campaign, the 2012 cycle, not a single conservative nonprofit group received its status. yet you saw a bunch of liberal groups including sham ones didn't even really exist, got in like a week. has anybody, up or down the lines been punished for that targeting? >> nobody has been punished. there have been some voluntary retirements and, you know, one of the things that's really troubling that i wanted to call to your attention this morning is the day after thanksgiving, the irs issued proposed regulations that would make permanent all the terrible things they've been doing to conservative groups. for the past three years.
6:18 am
>> and did you -- >> so it's ongoing. >> these are the regulationses that would profit nonprofits from registering voters? >> correct. >> the irony there, the administration and the justice department constantly -- republican res trying to schedule. voters rights, these would legally profit people from registering to vote. >> that's right. they say this is to make things more clear. but what we know is that the basic opening statement that the irs has issued saying why they are issuing these proposed regulations is for clarity. there are so many things in these rules that are totally vague and unclear. we also know that they were working on this for more than two years before they issued them, as i said, the day after thanksgiving. >> i can't think of a more ominous abuse of power than using the irs to crush your political opponents. you saw the president's interview with bill riley here on fox the other day. he denied that any of this even
6:19 am
took place. do you think he even believes that? >> well, he said last summer that this was a phony scandal. and then he tells bill o'reiley there's no a smidgenon of evidence of corruption? when there are multiple crimes that clearly have been committed, lying to congress is a crime. the commissioner of the irs, and many irs employees have lied to congress over several years saying it wasn't happening when, in fact, it was. i think that's why lois learner pleaded the fifth, because she had sent letters. she among others had sent communications to congress saying that it hadn't happened when it did, and it was documented. >> exactly right. that was an outrageous performance before congress. thanks for joining us this morning and for explaining all that. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> maybe the best story you hear all day. a special needs team goes from team manager to basketball star. watch this. a three-pointer. and that was his very first time
6:20 am
being in play. and then the academy under fire for this one, a song composer yanked from an oscar nomination because of the faith-based movie he wrote for. did the academy rule it out for religion or is something else going on here? we'll report, you can decide. 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. save time, save money, and never overpay. visit truecar.com we've got allstate, right? uh-huh.

6:25 am
director of the film and movie guide who had their awards galla friday night. thank you very much for joining us. >> it's great to be with you, heather. thank you. >> what is the official reason that the movie was yanked or the song? >> the official reason is that bruce, who came to our awards ceremony, said he sent out an e-mail saying look for my song. it's number 54 or 55 on the list of songs on the cd you've gotten. and we get cds and we get all this stuff and just look for my song. now, you know, every publicist, every studio spends a lot of money sending out books and cds. the day that this whole broke "frozen" sent me a wonderful dvd and everything else. it's just the fact that they did not want an independent film to break into the high life of the
6:26 am
academy nomination. >> yeah. bruce, the song creator that you're referencing there, undertook a grassroots effort to make people aware of the small film that only garnered, what, $134,000 in its first three weeks. so how else could you make people aware of it? >> you know, heather, the first -- the release was a small release because the big release is in june. it's going to release in a lot of theaters. the academy -- the movie companies do this all the time. they release a movie for one day. i remember when "the godfather iii" was released for one day. his attempt at promoting it was so small compared to the studios that it's absolutely ridiculous. this is not a case that he did a lot of promotion for this. this is just a case of bias and some business are better than other business on animal farm. >> let's take a look at what the academy had to say about it. they said this in response. as a former academy governor and
6:27 am
current member of the music branch, his executive committee should have been more cautious about acting in a way that made it appear as if he were taking advantage of his position to exert undue influence. at a minimum, his actions called into question whether the process was fair and equitable as the add academy's rules require. do you think that really is the reason or as you're saying was this the case of faith-based bigotry? >> if i had hired a publicist to send it out, it would have been okay. so the problem is that they were just looking for straws. .a lot of people, friends of mine in the academy, have protested this. michael lloyd was at our event. he's won more oscars.
6:28 am
>> the person behind shind shind ler's list say if you go by this standard, you're going to have to resend oscars that have been given out. >> especially to any one of harvey weinstein's movies. i just saw harvey the other night. we have to tell him he's going to lose all those oscars. >> the person who performs the song is a quadriplegic. >> she's one of my favorite people. she had a diving accident when she was a young girl. they made a movie about her and it was very successful in the early 80s. she had cancer a couple of years ago. she has so little lung capacity that her husband has to help her breathe while she's singing the song. it is an absolutely beautiful song, absolutely lyrical. it's just a terrific -- and we had a standing ovation. now, i was afraid to put it in the show, frankly. everybody wanted me to put it in the show and i said, this is
6:29 am
going to kill the show. she can't move, she's a quadriplegic. but she was terrific. >> her husband having to literally push on her diaphragm to get out enough air so she can sing the song. when is the movie released, quickly? >> the movie is rereleased in june. the movie god awards has it on the real channel on the 31st. >> thank you so much, dr. ted beahr. >> thank you. still to come, forget about respecting a hero. one starbucks banning a disabled veteran from its store because of his service dog. and think having your man help you around the house will improve your marriage? well, ladies, you're wrong. really? the new study that says marriage equality is having the opposite effect. legs up! legs up?

6:35 am
republican lawmakers pushing to require a photo i.d. for any food stamp purchases. congressman matt salman is proposing the act and here is what he told us earlier. >> as far as those that say it might humiliate those that are on food stamps, i've been asked many, many times when i produce a credit card to buy something to show photo i.d. and it didn't humiliate me. >> congressman adds that the plan is getting some bipartisan support in congress. and this, the u.s. army veteran with an amputated leg kicked out of a texas starbucks because of his service dog. the vet claims the employee demanded he prove his disability. the veteran's left leg, by the way, was amputated in 2009 due to bone cancer. a spokes woman for starbucks has since apologized. your responses are pouring in on this one. steve west said this, no i.d. required for voting, no drug test needed for welfare, but a
6:36 am
sdablgd vet must prove he is disabled? >> wow. >> that's a great point. >> it certainly is. >> and jeff tweeted this, no one should serve his country, lose a leg and be kicked out of a starbucks. ken sandler said this, i've worked at starbucks. i had no problem kicking people out who brought their dog but never someone with a service dog. that's completely different. that veteran will join us on "fox & friends" tomorrow morning. and i look forward to hearing from him. for sure. what happens when you combine two hot air balloons and a tight rope at 10,000 feet? ♪ >> luckily, yes, these guys were wearing parachutes. their attempt at a slack line, that's what it's called, in that basically you walk between two hot air balloons may have proven unsuccessful, but the acrobats

already saying they'll be back. those are your headlines. would you ever do that for any reason? >> every year, we have a family reunion in colorado and my brother puts up a slack line and it's about six inches off the ground between these two trees. and i can't make it two feet. it's hard. >> it's incredibly hard. >> so a slack line being, it's not like a tight rope, it's slack. >> it moves. >> it's a little tight, but still it's very, very wobbly. i guess you intentionally have a parachute on for that one. let's talk about the weather right now. kolt cold temps, obviously. minus teens in parts of north dakota. so the cold air is in place. enjoy the southeast right now because things are going to change monday and tuesday. another snowstorm for the south. norfolk georgia getting another two to three inches of snow. so pretty crazy. some snow moving this morning into parts of ohio and pennsylvania. there are still people without

6:39 am
of the more traditionally considered feminine chores versus men doing masculine chores -- >> what's so interesting about this study is it had nothing to do with men. you often hear women say i find it attractive when my man does the dishes. men will do anything if they think they're going to get something out of it, of course. it turns out that women didn't like it, according to the study. they were less attracted to men who did chores related with women. they wanted their man in a traditionally male role. >> so you say the woman says i want you to do something and -- >> that's what the study shows. the blum of women in this study found it unattractive. >> i want to know who determined what is a feminine chore and what is a masculine chore. and i wanted to. >> well, the women did.
6:40 am
>> i don't know about that. mike tweeted me and said my wife has a fridge magnet that says no husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes, #choresaresexy. >> i don't think they get shot doing the dishes. are they the object of contempt, though? it seems like they might be. >> it depends on how well they do the dishes. >> i'm not arguing the position. i'm just referring to the data when i note that women didn't like it. and, again, men will do anything. if you tell them to wear clown paint, they will obey. women have all the power, in case you haven't noticed, anyway. >> how about this for a happy marriage? act actress and oscar winner cate blanchett says her key to a happy marriage is sharing an e-mail address with her husband for 15 years and reading each
6:41 am
other's e-mails. kate says that it's a way of synchronizing our lives. i can see what he's up to and it's not i don't trust him. >> my parents' first e-mail address was their names together, my sister and her husband was the same thing. >> but that was aol. >> i mean, i've seen couples that do that on facebook. you know, they do that on facebook to keep each other from, you know, not getting into kind of questionable friend situations and you see both of their names in both of their -- they're both into the profile picture. >> but if you're a man, do you really want to wade through all the hot deals from j. crew e-mails? to get to whatever is interesting in your wife's e-mail inbox? by the way, would you really want to? i've never in all the years we've had e-mail, 20, 19, i've never one time wanted to read my wife's e-mails. >> i think you probably get a lot of the j. crew ads, as well. >> oh, yeah. >> so we asked you what you thought about this. we got an e-mail in from jerry
6:42 am
in north carolina. he says i think you should have your own e-mail address. there are some e-mails that the other should not have access to. >> can you be more specific? >> i don't know. >> and then this one was from elise in oklahoma. she said we've been married in 60 years and as long as there has been e-mailed would he have shared our address and lots of on other things, too. >> that's interesting. tolstoy used to share the contents of his diary with his wife and it tormented her. it's true. there is something -- i'm all for sharing. i don't think you should lie to your spouse ever. but i also think there are some things that, you know, can go unspoken. there is a beauty in the unexpressed thought once in a while, i would say. >> and what if you're planning a surprise for your spouse? >> exactly. >> that would be very difficult. >> that's where you get the secret other e-mail. >> your bad side. next on the rundown, the olympics communism, howard kurtz has the media buzz on that,

well, nbz under fire for their early coverage of the winter olympics. listen to this. some say the network is whitewashing russia's communist part. a towering presence. the empire that ascended to affirm aco lassal footprint. the revolution that burst one of modern history's pivotal experience. but if politics has long shaped our sense of who they are, it's passion that endures. >> so does nbc have a responsibility to put some of this in context? joining us now is howard kurtz, host of "media buzz" here on the fox news channel. howard, thanks for joining us this morning. i was blown away by the moment
6:47 am
when the hammer and sickle appeared on the stage. and i thought, if the olympics were being held in germany and a massive swastika showed up on the stage, nobody really commented on it. >> must be a big deal because it takes a lot to blow you away, tucker. >> it does. >> look, this is about a pivotal experiment. now, i understand nbc sports not wanting to stickumb in the eye country. but if you're going to bring up communism and mention that, maybe you could find a few seconds to say the pivotal experiment was an utter disaster and led to the collapse of this thing called the soviet union. so i was really puzzled by that. >> so tell us how this works, sort of behind the scenes. there has to be some negotiation between network airing this and the host country, no? do you think nbc is under pressure from the host country, russia, to down play the uglier parts of russian history? >> my educated guess would be no, tucker, nbc is not under
6:48 am
pressure from russia but practice there's a self-imposed pressure. and the russian people have a long cultural history going back however far you want to go, nbc just went too far. if you're going to stay away from politics, fine. if you're going to bring up a pivotal experiment, meaning the 60 or so years of communist rule, then you need to provide a more bald picture. >> yeah. about all the murders and the war and all that. interesting. how do you think of the coverage of the olympics in general has played out? do you think it's been -- there's been a lot written about some of the deficiencies of life in russia. we saw an olympic athlete get caught in the men's room yesterday, had to break through the door. do you think the coverage has been balanced on russia? >> that breaking through of the bathroom door has been the best olympics moment so far. i think the journalists set the tone by complaining, some people
6:49 am
said whining about the living conditions, no internet or tv. a lot of them have put up these colorful tweets. there we see the bathroom that could not hold one of our american athletes. it's still early. i think that, you know, one of the problems always when it's in a different time zone is the tape delay. so nbc is trying to broadcast, you know, as if it's happening then, stuff that happened hours ago. but beyond that, it doesn't -- it seems there's less interest in these olympics than in some of the previous ones. maybe that's because of where they're being held and maybe that's just because some of the star athletes didn't make it to the starting gate. >> yeah. because they were trapped in the men's room. tune in to "media buzz" today at 11:00 a.m., as always. howard kurtz, discussing women in the media and their struggles with online abuse. sounds compelling. hour kurtz, thanks a lot. >> thank you, tucker. coming up, the cold has you
