3:01 am
edition reveal. but wait, where are their swimsuits? and why are you complaining? mornings are better with friends. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> happy valentines day! thank you for the roses. so sweet. she welcomed both of us with roses. it was very kind and sort of reverse. >> tough to carry them through the snow but i made it. we want to wish you all a happy valentine's day. the east coast is digging out from the snowstorm. we have live team coverage.
3:02 am
maria molina is tracking the next storm. but first we're going to go to doug luzader who is live at reagan national airport. i can only imagine the number of people who wanted to get out but couldn't. >> we talked to you yesterday, and this place was kind of a barren waste land. a little busier this morning. you see some passengers milling about, the t.s.a. working. they're here because they finally have hope and they have hope because of what's sitting over there. take a look on the tarmac and there are actually airplanes here. that is a stark change from yesterday when that place was filled with nothing but snow. it is because of a herculean effort on the part of those here at the airport. they plowed all day yesterday to keep up with this. they were finally able to get a runway working yesterday around 5:00 or so. dulles airport, the other big airport in the washington region, opened up a little bit earlier than that. but that is just part of the story. you have so many stranded
3:03 am
passengers, a big backlog and it is not going to be easy to deal with that. listen. >> a storm of this magnitude particularly where you have closed runways like this, is going to take time to dig out. here, the northeast and southeast. the aviation industry, travel network so interconnected, i think they're going to feel it across the country for a couple of days while the airlines catch up. >> reporter: a lot of catch-up to do here. the good news is even though there is snow in the forecast, we think, we hope the worst is behind us. maria molina, please tell us we're correct in assuming that. >> yes, in some areas. unfortunately for northern new england you're still going to be looking at the storm system producing significant snow totals throughout the day today and possibly even some blizzard conditions as we head into this afternoon. but the snow totals we saw from the storm very impressive. in pilot, virginia, we actually received 28.5 inches of snow. ice is another big concern as well in states like
3:04 am
georgia and south carolina with many picking up over an inch of ice accumulation. powerful storm system that even produced thunder snow last night in new york city. but look at the radar. the snow done in new york city but moving into parts of connecticut. still snowing in new england throughout the day today. you would think we're going to be looking at much quieter weather but look at the next storm system. today hitting hearts of the plains and mid -- hitting parts of the plains and midwest. by saturday the northeast will be looking at additional snow, one to three inches expected for many higher amounts. let's head back inside. >> finish your instagram on the snow. the snowdrifts are higher than people's heads. >> here's a number you've been hearing a lot. this is a number the white house put out. 3.3 million. that's the number of people
3:05 am
the obama administration says have enrolled in obamacare so far. that number has been pretty much been repeated uncritically by lots of different media outlets. turns out probably not true. fox news talked to a senior insurance industry insider, someone who didn't feel comfortable giving his name and he says this. the numbers are not as high as 3.3 million. it's lower. those numbers are inflated. the question is how much. >> the reason they are inflated so much is because we think, according to these sources and others -- and we have been talking about this a few weeks ago -- is that people haven't paid yet. that 3.3 million number includes people who have this or went to the healthcare.gov website and signed up but haven't paid their premium payment which means they are not actually covered. if you buy car insurance and don't send in the check you don't have insurance. >> by insurance standards they are not enrolled in the payment goes through. originally a 3.3 million
3:06 am
number would seem to be a far cry from the 7 million which needs to be reached by the end of march. it seems to be exchange that they were excited about that to many. you dig further and it sort of lumps those groups together, those that have signed up and those that have paid. we don't have the details yet although we were told it was a holistic view. >> the fact that we don't have details is amazing. jay carney was asked in the briefing i think by our own he had henry, why don't you have -- by our own ed henry, why don't you have these numbers? why don't you know who paid for their premiums and who haven't? he said because we're not false.urance company. they need that information to provide subsidies. by the waeurbgs they -- by the way, they can read your e-mails. it is not like they are not capable of finding that number. if they don't have that number where did they get the 3.3 million people? >> how many people have gone through healthcare.gov to sign up.
3:07 am
>> and point three sounds specific. >> ignorance is bliss; right? remember when the president said this? that he didn't know anything about the that the website was going to be such a disaster in the way it was. he wasn't really informed on that. take a listen. >> on the website, i was not informed directly that the website would not be working the way it was supposed to. had i been informed, i wouldn't be going out saying boy, this is going to be great. >> now we dive into that a little bit. it turns out that kathleen sebelius had met with the president 18 times according to new record released before the rollout of obamacare, healthcare.gov. 18 times. that beg the question, what was being talked about in those meetings? >> probably not obamacare. >> kathleen, is the website up to snuff yet? did that come up? >> it is his signature domestic program. it is her area of
3:08 am
responsibility. but somehow they didn't talk about it over 18 different meetings? >> the 19th meeting was going to cover that. i'm positive. >> before we do this show, we don't talk about what's going on on the show; we just talk about cupcakes. >> that is actually true but we're not in charge of obamacare. >> i think all of this, almost nonstarter when it came to enrollments, we'll put that in quotes, early on with obamacare combined with information that seems sort of squishy -- your term, clayton, i believe -- then you go on to this information that all thaoet thaoet -- these meetings happened but the president denied knowing about it. it brings us to charles krauthammer who said last night this is about trust because it affects us all. this is opportunity for everyone to really feel a lack of trust when it comes to what's going on. take a listen. >> health care, unlike any other issue, is one that is a very intimate subject in your life and one that
3:09 am
affects everyone equally. it's not like issues which affect a region, affects a class, affects an ethnicity. this is everybody. if you get 25% of the population saying they are worse off, what you're doing is throwing a dart at a map of the united states and everywhere you get a quarter of the population who have been personally hurt. when you're personally hurt, it affects your vote a lot more than that you have a disagreement over policy with a party or two. and that i think is why the democrats are so scared. >> khaurbg khraurbg hitting the nail -- chalk chalk hitting the nail on the head. -- charles krauthammer hitting the nail on the head. later, we'll show you brand-new fresh polls on obamacare. >> at some point we're going to show you some of the ads democrats are running on this. >> obamacare, i don't know where it came from but i'm against it.
3:10 am
>> in the meantime we want to say happy valentine's day to heather. >> good morning to you. it smells great in here with all these flowers. you two smell great, gentlemen, as well. hope you're to have a great day. we have breaking news. a missing world traveler has been found dead in texas. her body waos discovered in the woods -- in the woods less than one mile from where she was seen less than a month ago. police are not saying how she died or if her husband is a suspect in her disappearance. an update to an insane story. a man behind bars this morning accused of using a bomb in order to kill his very own in laws. police say 49-year-old richard parker dropped off a package bomb at their house in tennessee. that bomb killing his wife's parents. you can see them right there. the blast was so powerful that windows across the street were blown out.
3:11 am
cops are not talking about a motive just yet. >> it is a miracle that she is alive. this morning we're hearing from the teenager who fell more than 3,000 feet in a freak sky driving -- skydiving accident. >> i remember jumping out the plane and seeing there was a complication with the parachute. i started kicking my feet like i was taught in the class. i looked up and it wasn't fixing so i tried to pull the toggles apart. i was not strong enough to fight off the wind. >> she went skydiving to celebrate her sweet 16. as you can see she is making progress and is considered to be steady progress. she fortunately is now walking with help. three is the charm. the 2014 sports illustrated swimsuit issue has been revealed. take a long look, guys. they're all guy friends. they play together in the water. how sweet. it features three cover

3:16 am
afghanistan freeing 65 dangerous taliban detainees despite warnings from the u.s. president hamid karzai insisting there was not enough evidence to prosecute them and the united states should just mind its own beeswax. listen. >> it is of no concern to the u.s. and should be of no concern to the u.s. and i hope that the united states will stop harassing afghanistan's procedures and judicial authority. >> joining us now is the c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america,
3:17 am
captain pete hegseth. nice to see you this morning. should be of no concern to the united states. let's unpack that first. we shouldn't be worried at all about this. >> because our guys haven't been fighting and dying for his country for over a decade. it is maddening to watch a guy like that stand up and say that. to say it is of no concern, 65 men, many of which have american blood on their hands, walking out of baghram prison. >> let's be specific. these guys have been laying roadside bombs. these are the ople they claim didn't have enough evidence to prosecute. we've got finger prints, biometric data, direct hard evidence linking these folks. the problem is a lot of afghans don't recognize that. your average afghan doesn't understand finger prints, biometric tk*ts. karzai does. he's releasing these people because he's making a deal with the taliban.
3:18 am
that is what should anger most. behind our back. >> the report that came out a week ago where we didn't know these private meetings were happening. >> that's right. he has decided his future is more tied to how the taliban views him than how we view him. he says it is of no concern, wags his finger to the united states because he's a short-timer two. he's tending toward the taliban. >> also in that same press conference -- that 20 second sound bite was remarkable in a number of ways one of which is the united states should stop meddling. >> you know people, i know people over there training afghans trying to make them capable of standing up a force that will fight against the taliban yet their president is releasing trained killers, islamist extremists who will go back into the fight against us. that is why we better take as hard a line as we can
3:19 am
against him. >> what do we do? >> it is pretty difficult to deal with karzai. it is going to be after april when a new president is elected. the bilateral agreement that makes sure this country doesn't slip to the taliban is important. it is hard to contain the anger that an afghan president would do that. >> i would love to hear from our viewers. let us know on twitter at clayton morris. what do you think of president hamid karzai's comments? >> coming up should you be able to carry a concealed weapon in public? there is a rule on that. the decision will surprise you. remember this mom who called out the president because she couldn't get covered? >> i spent weeks with days on the phone getting confidently delivered wrong answers, conflicting information. what are you doing to fix this? >> the president said people will call her. it's been two weeks. has she gotten answers? she joins us with an update next.

3:24 am
confronted president obama about her issues with obamacare during an on-line chat session. remember this? >> i spent weeks with days on the phone getting confidently delivered wrong answers, conflicting information. what are you doing to fix this? >> what i'll do first right away is make sure that somebody out of here, this white house, calls you directly. i promise you not only will they be competent but it will be the right answer. >> the kentucky's mom's problem is her ten-year-old might not be able to see a specialist. has she gotten answers since? rebecca stewart joins us with an update. good morning. what is the update? did you hear back? >> i heard back. i don't feel i've gotten apparent help directly from the white house. this has been largely due to my own efforts starting with children's hospital and making them aware of the inconsistencies and theire then through that we have discovered in kentucky we have a couple options now across the river and my son will be able to continue with his doctor at
3:25 am
children's hospital. rand paul, our senator, also put me in touch with the deputy director of the kentucky benefits exchange and i've been working very directly with him and some fixes have also occurred due to my insistence on that. >> rebecca, are these changes you're making because it seems you're right on the ground there, working as if you're on payroll for the government at this point trying to fix this system. first of all, are you getting paid? are these changes specifically for you? this is a lot of work you've put in as an individual in a system that seems complex. >> hours. it's not -- at this point i feel like i'm okay but it's not just about me. this is about really a lot of people all around the country and the issues we're having. late last week i got on to the kentucky benefits exchange and discovered strangers' information on my log-in. i could see their personal information, address, phone number, how much they're paying for insurance, et
3:26 am
cetera. over the weekend i also discovered that the kentucky benefits exchange provider search in connecting insurers with providers wasn't working right at all. so i spent 45 minutes on the phone talk w-g low-level customer service being told that is how it was supposed to work knowing myself it wasn't. going to a supervisor. i was literally the one to inform them that their website was malfunctioning so they got their tech team on it. as of about 12 hours ago that has been fixed somewhat. it is still not perfect and i understand that is because the information the insurers are providing to the exchange is a little bit off so they're still working on getting that all consistent so that it is easy and works the way it is supposed to as far as getting answers we need. >> are you -- personally your situation is now because you put the time in and the effort on the ground, your son can have the continuing care that he need. but this work -- are you continuing this work for
3:27 am
others? so as a private citizen you're stepping in for the job someone from the government should be handling well? is that the case? >> exactly. it blows my mind that it's me. my husband, when are you going to get paid for your consulting? literally i'm the one calling the exchange and telling them here's what's not working right. here's what yew need to fix -- what you need to fix and they go back and forth with me. i check it out and it still isn't working quite right. it is amazing it is me when it is somebody else's literal job to do it. people in indiana still don't have the option to cut across state lines. there are a lot of issues out there. it comes down to my wish that the president would just keep his promise. it was very clear that we were supposed to be able to keep our plans, keep our doctors. and this problem that i have and lots of others have is because that wasn't followed through on. how embarrassing to promise the whole country something and then not do it.
3:28 am

3:53 am
has been working with the united nations to develop a new global agenda that some say is radical. joining me to weigh in is the director of the center for energy and environment at the competitive enterprise institute in washington. thank you for joining us this morning. give us an outline of how exactly john podesta, who has as much influence on the obama administration, on what he's doing with the united nations now. >> he was still at the center for american progress, which is a very hard left think tank that he started to combat the george w. bush administration back in 2003. while he was there, podesta joined a high level u.n. committee chaired by david cameron, the british prime minister, and two presidents of third world countries. they've come up with a sustainable development agenda which would, if it were actually implemented, would transform the
3:54 am
global economy and make us all a lot poorer. >> podesta was the only american on this -- the only representative from the united states of america was john podesta, who i think you're right to say, is on the hard left on policy. the proposal they put out says it's critical that the united states join a global sustainability agenda. why is it critical? what does that mean? >> i don't know. john podesta has several big interests. one of them is use in climate policy to raise energy prices and take money out of people's pockets and put government in charge of how much energy it can use. another one is income redistribution. now, those conflict because, of course, raising energy prices takes more money out of poor people's pockets than it does wealthy people. >> let me stop there. why would the huh-uh have any --
3:55 am
united nations have any say on how income is distributed in the united states? aren't we a sovereign country? >> this is a take it or leave it thing. it depends how the united states government reacts to it. unfortunately, in john podesta and president obama, you have two people who believe in this stuff. they believe that the world has to change its wicked ways and stop using so much energy. so john podesta has been brought in to further help president obama implement his agenda without going to congress. in other words, through essentially executive fiat. >> the world has to stop its wicked ways and using so much energy, it's really the united states and the west need to stop using so much energy. not the big polluters, it's us, right? >> well, yes. as you know, the u.n. is essentially an organized conspiracy against the united
3:56 am
states. the fact that we have people in the white house that are enabling that agenda should be rather worrying. >> yeah. it certainly is worrying. and the fact that john podesta is the only american to go to this meeting is shocking. thank you for joining us. i appreciate the update. >> thank you, tucker. coming up, the president said there wasn't a smidgen of corruption at the irs despite a lot of evidence to the contrary. turns out americans disagree with him. the polls tell the story. that's top of the hour. plus, does the new robo cop live up to the original? stick around to see if it's worth your hard-earned cash. >> we are going to make a lot of money.

4:02 am
down the coast. >> good morning. starting in new york city itself, you have to say it's not that bad right now. the snow has stopped, temperatures seem to be creeping up a degree or two. the roads out here and the center of manhattan looking relatively speaking, pretty good. that's not to say travel is not still going to be very difficult for a lot of people. it was something like 7,000 flights canceled yesterday. the airlines are getting back into business today. but clearly with that many planes out of position, there is going to be a knock on effect for a lot of travelers. further south, the big issue has been power. ice the culprit there, hanging heavy on trees and power lines, bringing them down. several hundred thousand people still without power, particularly in south carolina and georgia. for most of us today, not so bad. the storm moving north through new england where they still are
4:03 am
expecting a great deal of snow. but as i say, for the rest of us further south, we seem to be through the worst of it. although i have a feeling, maria molina might have some bad news on what's coming next. maria? >> that's right. thanks. we are expecting another clipper system. this system won't be anywhere near as bad as the storm that we're dealing with today across parts of new england and like you mentioned, parts of georgia, parts of south carolina dealing with a lot of ice from areas, getting up to an inch of ice accumulation. significant snowfall. parts of back up bam and south carolina picking up ten inches of snow. close to that across northern georgia. look at maryland. more than two feet of snow. that's the story as well across parts of virginia. today we're expecting 12 to 18 inches across northern new england. states like vermont, new hampshire, maine, you could be looking at blizzard-like conditions throughout the day. here comes the next system of the a quick hitting hitting the

4:08 am
>> sure. today's bill o'reilly, no smidgen of corruption. there is pending rules to limit certain groups going forward to not be able to voice anything 60 days before a general election? and also limit how much they can spend on political support and advertising. >> stopping voter registration from. >> and these outside money groups that are involved in elections. senator mark pryor, who has a tough battle ahead of reelection campaign in arkansas, wants more targeting of conservative groups, he told the hill newspaper, there are two things you don't want in political money in fundraising world and expenditure. no secret money and unlimited money and that's what we have now. so go after conservative groups. the irs should be more belligerent in targeting them. we asked fox news viewer what is they think of this targeting of conservative groups. is it an example of corruption at the irs? 64% of you responded and said yes, of course it is corruption at the irs. >> and when asked by -- >> i think it was a national poll.
4:09 am
>> yeah, national poll. >> another national poll by fox news, when asked if congress should continue to investigate the irs, 71% responded yes. so an overwhelming response in favor of a continuing investigation of how the irs has targeted conservatives. >> there is no greater violation. the irs has all of your personal information. they have your tax returns. by definition -- this is a -- the irs has a ton of power. they have guns. they have the right to arrest you. they have the right to destroy your life. if you can't trust them, then the whole system falls apart. this is a big deal. >> further, they're also the ones in charge of obamacare, auditing and making sure you signed up properly for obamacare. they're managing that as well. >> and if you don't happen to fall into a conservative group that was targeted this time, the power of the irs is do it to either side at any point is something that is quite alarming. >> that is such a smart point. you would think that honest liberals would be every bit as
4:10 am
upset about this, the abuse of power here. it could happen this them. >> it's about trust as well. mitt romney actually said this is the issue with leadership when you don't have trust. take a listen. >> the reasons i've already given. >> well, mitt romney -- there we go. >> leader of a country is the confidence of the people and beliefs of what you're telling them is the truth and i think during the campaign and in the months afterward, the president consistently said that if people had insurance they liked, they could keep it. they could keep their doctor. prices weren't going to go up. these things turned out not to be true. >> earlier on the show, we spoke to rebecca stewart, who she confronted the president in that google hangout where she asked the president about signing up and having gotten any responses about the whole process. she confronted the process. we talked to her earlier and she had this to say about the experience in dealing with the white house. listen. >> i wish that the president
4:11 am
would just keep his promise. it was very clear that we were supposed to be able to keep our plans, keep our doctors and this problem that i have and lots of others have is because that wasn't followed through on. how embarrassing to promise the whole country something and not do it? >> broken promises when it comes to obamacare for many americans like rebecca. and then you have this lack of trust when it comes to the irs and the power that they may have to silence freedom of speech. >> we now know the broken promise was in fact a lie and he told it for a simple reason. he never would have been a simple reason if people knew they would lose their health care providers if obamacare went through. ever. >> more on that coming up on the show. but first, we've got this. he said he wasn't informed that the web site wasn't working, the president. information about when the president knew. congressman mike rogers joins us next. >> chocolate or flowers? how much are you spending on your sweetheart today? we break down the numbers coming
4:12 am
4:15 am
4:16 am
joining us is chairman mike rogers from michigan. thank you for coming on. we know that the president said he was totally unaware that the obamacare web site had problems until it launched. now we know he met 18 times with kathleen sebelius who is in charge of that web site. is that a plausible claim? >> i don't know. it's three weeks right before the launch. so this wasn't 18 times over a year. this was about 18 times, plus phone calls, in a matter of about three weeks leading up to the launch of the web site. we knew that their own advisors were telling them this thing is not ready. it's not secure. i think they were married to a political timeline that really wasn't in the best interest of people who were trying to really honestly go on the site and get access to health care. the problem was they decided it was that it was okay to expose those people through the risks of an unsecure web site. >> that is absolutely true, obviously in hindsight. mr. chairman, senator paul, rand
4:17 am
paul of kentucky is suing the president in a class action lawsuit over the nsa spying. i'm wondering if we could take three steps back. i know you have been a supporter of that program. why does having them read my e-mail make this a safer country? >> the good news is they're not reading your e-mail and they're not listening to your phone calls. that has been the most frustrating thing for me, a former f.b.i. guy, and a skeptic of government that makes me a republican. that's just not what's happening. the reason we have this program that the whole thing is over is because a safehouse, al-qaeda safehouse in yemen, called into the united states prior to 9-11 and said, go ahead, launch the attack. we missed that part. so the 9-11 commission said you ought to fill in that gap. so what this is is phone records. it's not even names or addresses are in this database. no names, no addresses.
4:18 am
so some notion that they're recording your phone call or reading your e-mail is just wrong. >> really? how do i know that, because mr. clapper got up and said that there was no surveillance of americans citizens. he turned out to be lying. congress doesn't have oversight of this. just your committee. the average congressman does not have access to this data. so how can i believe that? why should i believe that? >> you have a bipartisan group who, again, were skeptics, including crazy left wingers like michelle bachmann, who looked at this program. we oversee this program. we set up the poetcals to protect that information, to meet the fourth amendment test. and i supported it when it was classified because we went through that rigor and i support it now because we went through that rigor. the problem is it's really hard to argue the facts of this when people are saying, you're listening to my phone calls and you're reading my e fails. if you're a united states citizens and the nsa is doing that without a proper warrant, they're going to go to jail.
4:19 am
>> why not let congress oversee it in why not give every member of congress, duly elected members of the branch to find out what's going on with the program? n they have and they are. we have briefings in our committee. when it was reauthorized, members had the opportunity to come to the committee and learn about it. the judiciary got regular updates. then for those of white house have the highest clearances because i do believe that apartmentallized classified information is important, and remember, what we're talking about now i huge leap of defense information, not nsa information. the whole thing has gotten wrapped around the axle and it's dangerous. >> that part is impossible to defend. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks. coming up f you're going to break into a jewelry store, you might want to have an escape route. we have the worst burglar ever. then president obama vowing to mandate universal preschool programs. is that the government's

explain that one. here to explain that is elisabeth. >> president obama not going to wait for congress on the issue of universal pre-k. >> last year i asked this congress to help make high quality pre-k available to every four-year-old and as congress decides what it's going to do, i'm going to pull together a coalition of elected officials, business leaders and philanthropists willing to help more kids access the high quality pre-k that they need. >> that causing a raging debate. is school better than learning at home for preschools? here to duke it out, darcy olson, president of the goldwater institute and our other guest: is it a bad thing to provide by executive order at a large sum of money, preschool for all? >> well, do we really want the president of the united states and a bunch of bureaucrats
4:25 am
deciding how every toddler in the united states should be educated? i don't think so. >> why? >> well, for preschool to have benefits for children, that environment has to be better than the home environment. for most children, the home environment is still far better than what they can get in a preschool setting. what the government is trying to do is put everyone in this setting and what american parents are saying is we want the opportunity to be able to spend that time at home with our own children. >> nina, what's your perspective, if the home is indeed not as great and some families of preschool would offer, even favor of this? >> first of all, the majority of low income families right now are working. so they're not home with their children. all the president is offering a are incentives to states to bolster a lot of programs that have already been put in place to offer high quality pre-k, especially to low income families. the reality is that if you
4:26 am
expose children to the alphabet, to math, to science at an early age, they start school better prepared to absorb everything that's is coming at them. here in washington, d.c. where there is access to universal pre-k and a lot of charter schools have started a pre-k program, then one of the things we're noticing is that a lot of these charter schools have been able to identify special needs at an early age, address them so students are starting kindergarten without the disability label attached to them. i think any investment you can make in the early years can pay huge dividends. but we also have to make sure that the quality of our education system is high quality so we can leverage these gains down the road. >> darcy, is your concern what was mentioned in terms of the quality? on a until reach program, preschool age, early intervention, precious time of development of young individuals here, we're talking little ones, are you concerned that the quality will not be there when it comes to implementing this by the government?
4:27 am
>> well, i think we can all agree that the early years are important. i don't think there is any disagreement about that. but the question is whether these programs really benefit these children or whether they've been overhyped. the reality is that we've had head start for 350 years in this i -- 50 years in this country and countless programs all over the country and they have failed to give kids the leg up that we're promised. the problem is that when resources are devoted to a failing program, those are resources that are not going to something that might work. we know that there have been school choice programs in washington, d.c., in florida, and in new york that have boosted college attendance rates that, have increased the number of children graduating from high school so to have these long-term benefits for these disadvantaged children. so i think that's the direction we want to be look. we want to look at things that really truly do work and not -- these early education programs,
4:28 am
although well intended, the reality in both research and practical effect is that they have a neutral to negative impact on these kids. >> certainly time will tell. we want to thank you both. darcy and nina for being with us. great debate over something we all care about. we want to know what you all think out there. let us know on facebook. shoot us an e-mail, tweet a message on facebook. tell us what you any preschool mandated by government or set by government for four-year-olds. coming up, you don't have to be a man or woman on facebook anymore. it's now offering a other gender option, like intersex. and not being allowed to watch fox news at the doctor's office? what? where this is happening next ♪

5:03 am
since december 1 to 75,000. that is the highest total since the department of transportation began keeping records in the winter of 1987-1988. further down south, the biggest problem remains power, although lack of it for hundreds of thousands of customers. the power companies across south carolina and georgia in particular struggling to get power back to all their customers. the good news here is really it is a beautiful day, which means the florists have no excuse and the flowers that tucker in particular is hoping for and expecting from me should be delivered any minute, guys. >> thank you. you just made my morning. >> you're always so thoughtful. you never miss our anniversary or anything. and i appreciate that. >> jonathan would send you edible arrangements, but the crew ate them. >> that would not surprise me. >> let's go over to heather nauert with a look at our headlines. >> you can take these home to your wives and not have to spend

5:08 am
these are the real bad apples. these are exactly the people we have been fighting and what happens? the leader of our ally, the leader of afghanistan, hamid karzai, a man who received billions, ten of billions of dollars in american aid, he did that in a way that is an absolute dramatic affront to every g.i. we lost, all the blood we have shed, all the treasure we have expended. this is a gross insult and when you add it to the money that he and his cronies have stolen from the american taxpayer, it is appalling. it also bodes very badly for the end of this, the longest war in america. >> why do we athrough? we built the bagram facility. why did we allow it to happen? >> remember, as part of the disengagement process, we gave jurisdiction over the inmates to the afghan government. >> that's a passive position for us to take, no? >> we gave him the authority and
5:09 am

5:11 am
>> you have that one in florida and everyone mentioned he was a republican. >> they mention add couple of times. >> how in the process? >> that ray nagin was not only a democrat, but he became pretty left wing. they never mentioned that. >> i just watched him covering katrina as i did, that unfolding tragedy. to see him glomming that money was disheartening. to see him now go down, i can't say that anybody should be prized. the fact that he's a democrat, i guess is a very significant detail. that should not have been omitted. but more important p more to the point, is he robbed the people, the victims of new orleans and all the people who gave in terms of compassion and generosity. >> it's a good point. >> he robbed them blind. no doubt. >> geraldo rivera, always great to see you. valentine's day plans tonight? >> we're going to puerto rico. thank you for asking. if the flights fly. >> no matter what i do, you'll
