6:00 am
>> kids, wear helmets at home in the driveway. >> we'll see you tomorrow here on "fox & friends". >> look out! oh, my god. see you tomorrow. bill: for the record now, forked report, elizabeth was in high heels on that. bravo. fox news alert. here we go everybody, days after a storm dumped up to two feet of snow across the parts of the northeast, there is more snow on the ground. look at that image there. good morning, everybody, i'm bill hemmer. four snowstorms in new york city in seven days. beat that. tough to do. >> they have been really busy. bill: how are you doing, jamie? >> great to be back here. i'm here for martha maccallum. we've had 18 snowstorms this season already. it is all too familiar scene. first you get snow, turns to ice. there is wind.
6:01 am
all around nasty winter weather. bill: laura ingle felt all of it. she is back outside again. what is it like? good morning. >> reporter: it has certainly been coming down all morning but not the snow dumbs we've seen in weeks past. certainly this latest winter storm is bringing bringing some dangerous driving conditions and traveling conditions for so many coming back from this presidents' day weekend. this is 8th know whichest winter in new york city. 65 inches in central park. that is double the yearly snowfall average is 27 inches. the record is 75 inches, set during 1995-1996 winter season. hopefully we won't see that again. pens will not be spared. philly gearing up for two to four inches. driving conditions are tough with icy roads. there could be six-inches of snow in western and central pa.
6:02 am
in new jersey and connecticut snow is expected to come down until early afternoon. drivers say hitting the road anywhere in this mess is dangerous. >> seems like people were actually driving too fast i thought. >> really. >> yeah. i think, i drive about 60, 70,000 miles a year and you would think that when you see it snowing and visibility is so poor you would slow down a little bit but you have some people driving like it was august. >> reporter: getting up in the air will be an issue once again today. the flightaware, the flight tracking website that we always monitor, is now reporting over 700 flights have been canceled across the country. so you know the drill. we say it every time. call ahead. there are definitely some problems. bill: in august we'll complain about the heat. what about the cleanup? rock salt, short supply, how is that, laura? >> reporter: rock salt is a huge issue getting enough of it on to roads in and around the northeast. new jersey seeing some of the
6:03 am
biggest problems. we've been following a story in the garden state, they have been trying, the department of transportation in new jersey has been trying to get their hands on a 40,000-ton shipment of rock salt stuck up in maine. the d.o.t. tells us they're working to bring that down. it will take four trips in all to get the salt to port newark in the next four or five days. they will get the salt they need. not as fast as they like. the nj d.o.t. is being asked by municipalities and counties for salt. right now they can't deliver. that is something fairly rare. bill: not just in new jersey. so many states are affected. outside laura engel. what is winter it has been. detroit is the snowiest city in america, dealing with the third highest accumulation, 76 inches so far. chicago seeing 67 inches of snow. that is more than five 1/2 feet. here in new york, 65 inches officially in central park.
6:04 am
that is more than double the average snowfall. in philadelphia right about 55, tying the third all-time snowy evident winter in philly. spring is still at least a month away. here we go. >> fox news alert for you. there are major developments in that so-called craig's list murder case. now the fbi, police in several states are helping investigate the claims bit pennsylvania woman that she killed more than 20 other people across the country. rick leventhal is diving deeper into pennsylvania. rick, this gets more and more bizarre. what do we know. >> reporter: we spoke with the chief of police in sunbury, pennsylvania. she confirms her husband was here last night to be processed, fingerprinted and questioned. he was very cooperative the chief tells me with investigators, the husband was and gave them information that supported at least some of the
6:05 am
claims that miranda made to a local reporter that she had a very murder russ past. -- murderous past. sunbury police have asking for assistance from the fbi and trying to contact police in other states to trying to corroborate some of these claims. the chief told me miranda's past of alleged prostitution and being in that subculture. >> people in that subculture meet ends. not unusual for anybody to pass. anybody that lives in big city, new york, philadelphia, l.a., people die all the time and nobody knows why. in this case is it possible? is it possible that they're not telling us the truth? yes. >> reporter: but it is possible she was turning tricks and then murdering the johns? >> correct. and that wouldn't be the first, she would not be the first prostitute to do that. >> reporter: i'm told that
6:06 am
miranda had an extensive record in alaska where she grew up, jamie but she was a juvenile so that record is sealed. >> very interesting. what is next then? >> reporter: they will try to talk to her. she was cooperative initially but clammed up when she got a lawyer. but she is talking to the reporter. investigators includings the fbi want to talk to her again to see if she will provide anymore details on this string of alleged murders. she was only here in pennsylvania three weeks when the murder happened here. she moved here from her newlywed husband from north carolina. there may be murders she confessed to as well as in texas, california and alaska where she grew up. there are a lot of questions that have to be answered. she told people she had a satanic worship past, she was part after cult. plus the drug history and prostitution history, she could be just making up stories, jamie, but she did allegedly kill someone here and confessed to that murder. with her husband.
6:07 am
so if she killed one person, police say it is possible she killed others. >> we know if any answers come today you will get them for us, rick, thank you very much. >> reporter: absolutely. bill: how about a gift from uncle sam from everybody newborn if you're born in america you get $500. serious proposal. stuart varney, host of "varney & company." good morning to you. first the proposal, what is this about? >> you could say it's a trial balloon. it's a proposal, it is a suggestion. it was a proposal made in a speech in southern california by democrat ron wyden. he is a senator from oregon. the proposal is as you suggested, bill, $500 to go to each and every baby born in america. every baby is an american citizen if you're born here. $500 straight -- bill: tell me about this democratic senator, ron wyden. oregon, and he will get a bit of a promotion soon? >> this week he could become the chairman of the senate finance committee, replacing senator max
6:08 am
baucus. that is the tax-writing committee. he would become the top tax person in the united states senate. this deals with tax and handing out money. he is a powerful guy. bill: powerful indeed. didn't chuck schumer have an idea like this couple years ago? >> 2009 this proposal was raised at that point by senator charles schumer and his suggestion was, $500 to every child born in the united states that money would go towards college or towards a house, or towards eventual retirement. bill: where does the money come from? >> taxpayers. bill: taxpayers, right? >> federal taxpayers. you and i bill, would fund a handout of money, $500 per child, but, we don't know where that money would be invested. this is just a proposal at this point. no details. it could go into united states treasurys for example. that would mean a very low rate of return. it could go into the stock market but that would put the government as an active investor in stocks. bill: two more quick things. can this pass?
6:09 am
>> look it is an election year, bill. there is another election coming in 2016. this is a sort of giveaway. you can get votes by giving taxpayer money away in an election year. give it what, 50/50 shot? bill: freebies. is this part of the argument about income inequality? is that the way the senator described it. >> it is proposed as a way to a leave eighting poverty. this fits into the income inequality format. bill: you have 11 minutes to go before fbn. stuart varney. see you soon. what do you think? should every american be given $500 at birth? send us a tweet @billhemmer and jamie colby tv. share your thoughts later in the show. >> we'll be interested to hear what folks think about that thank you very much bill. bill: the administration is stepping up the defense of obamacare but is the law waging a war on jobs? we'll look at that. >> plus looks like something you will see in the movie, "star
6:10 am
wars." it is happening at sea. the u.s. navy and they are ready to deploy a futuristic new weapon. we'll have details. bill: more information on the jetliner hijacked by its copilot. we'll hear what passengers say what happened aboard the plane. >> it is really hard for me to, i'm really process what happened too big. too small. too soft. too tasty.

6:12 am
6:13 am
jamie: some details to share with you on the hijacking of the ethiopian pilot. a family was among 200 passengers on the plane from the flight headed to rome from ethiopia. the pilot took over and landed in switzerland instead. listen. >> all of a sudden the plane dropped quickly in altitude and the masks came down and there was just yelling over the, over
6:14 am
the intercom like, put your masks on! sit down, put your masks on, sit down! we cruised probably three hours. it was unsettling. i kept thinking to myself, when is, when is something awful going to happen. jamie: frightening for everyone on board. officials say the copilot was not armed though and no one was injured. bill: 14 past the hour now. there are new warnings that obamacare is waging a war on jobs but secretary kathleen sebelius saying those who claimed that means two million jobs lost have it all wrong. >> there is no absolutely no evidence, and every economist will tell you this, there is any job loss related to the affordable care act, part-time positions are actually down since 2010, not up. the number of full-time workers continues to increase. so i know that that's a popular myth that continues to be
6:15 am
repeated but just is not accurate. bill: what about that? mississippi senator roger wicker is on the senate budget committee in new york city. how are you doing, senator. like mississippi weather. >> that's right. we have had snow this year. bill: yes, indeed you have. is she right? >> well, this is the lowest labor participation rate since the jimmy carter years when of course the american people soundly rejected him. put ronald reagan in, to turn things around. no, we want people to stay in the workforce, and the fact that they predicted some, 1/3 of that number, 2.25 million people will voluntarily choose not to participate in the workforce. that's, that's a bad statistic. bill: square that logic with what we just heard now. reading from "politico," says the health care law will cause americans to cut work hours
6:16 am
equating to 2 million fewer jobs in 2017. it is predicted that number to eventually rise in 2.5 million as you stated -- >> what will that do to american productivity? it will go down. we want more people in the workforce. the of course the only reason the unemployment rate is as favorable as it sounds around, eight or a little less, is because fewer and fewer people are trying for a job. what this report says is another 2.2 million people will quit trying for a job. bill: is this law costing jobs in america? >> yes it is. and the cbo report says that. bill: nancy pelosi, february 6th, roll this and react. >> we want people to have the freedom to be a writer, to be a photographer, to make music, to paint. people would no longer job locked by their policy but have the freedom to follow their passions. bill: so what she is arguing this, this law actually creates more freedom for americans?
6:17 am
what do you think of that? >> i'm for more freedom for americans. there's a much better way to prevent job lock and that is, you get to keep your job and have the insurance there, or, we change the tax code as coburn and burr and hatch proposed. by your own insurance. get a tax break for that. if you want to be a writer or start your own business you can do that. i'm for freedom speaker pelosi is talking about but i would do it through the tax code and give individuals that want to start their business the ability to buy their own insurance. bill: do you think the individual mandate will be delayed as we saw with the employer mandate recently? is that next? >> i wish it would be. that would be a godsend, if the president would delay the individual mandate. but he seems to be determined to go forward with that. what he has done twice in a row is say that businesses can have
6:18 am
a year and now another year and, he is just not going to force the law, when it comes to employers. but the little guy out there is, going to be required to follow the law. so the president, the president seems to have this imperial presidency idea, that he can pick which laws he likes and which laws he doesn't and force the one that is suit him at the time. he signed obamacare and, so, and now he is saying well, this portion deserves yet another year of exemption, for the business folks. not for the little guy. bill: one more point on this krauthamer writes in the "washington post," quoting on screen for viewers, conservatives have been warning about this for five years. this is not rocket science. both the voluntary and forced job losses were utterly predictable. pelosi insisted we would have to pass the law to know what's in it. now we know, end quote.
6:19 am
>> what pelosi and the president says would be less than a million people would choose to voluntarily leave because of this entitlement law. turns out now that figure is three times as large. but also, look, this is not working from a technical standpoint with the website, with the sign-ups. it is also not working from the human standpoint. people who have chronic diseases, who have depended on a doctor for years and years, are now being told you will not keep your own doctor. you have to find somebody else. this is devastating news to somebody who has multiple sclerosis for example. they're told that the doctor taking care of them for years and years is not available to them because of this new law which was supposed to help people at the human level. it is a disaster from the point of human suffering. bill: senator, i appreciate your time. we will see what comes on this next. >> glad to be with you. bill: appears to be anybody's guess. roger wicker from mississippi. thank you. jamie. jamie: bill, thanks. shocking new claims come from

u2 performed in style on top of rockefeller center on sunset. made for a beautiful sight, did it not. fallon is off and running. will you watch jimmy kimmel or jimmy fallon. which jimmy will you choose? jamie: watch one on tivo. always an option. we got news to cover like this. take a live look right now, from kiev. there are protesters and police still clashing over delayed reforms to limit the power of the president. our greg palkot live in london with more on this. it is pretty brutal there, greg. violence looks like it is escalating. >> reporter: jamie, it has gotten very nasty again in ukraine. just in the reports we're betting from there in the last couple hours, at least one protester killed, maybe as many as 100 or more protesters injured. several dozen police hurt as well. the two sides do battle on the streets of kiev after a lull in the violence past couple weeks. the activists moved in on parliament.
6:26 am
they set police trucks on fire. they through rocks and police responded big-time. rubber bullets, stun and smoke grenades. protesters ransacked the party headquarters of the embattled ukraine can president yanukovych. they are ordering protesters off the streets in the next two hours. opposition leaders say the government has to get security folks off the street. the u.s. ambassador to ukraine is expressing deep concern about this renewal in violence. jamie. jamie: the violence breaking out again right now, what's the timing, greg? what is relevant about that? >> reporter: it all gets down to, jamie, a simple unmet demand by the protesters. back in november, as you recall we've been reporting on this, the ukrainian government backed away from a deal with the european union and with the west and turned to russia and lashed up deal to get money from moscow the past couple weeks. that got many pro-western elements in ukraine and focus ad lot of attention on the
6:27 am
government too. the government had promised reform. they started moving in that direction but just in the last couple of days they seem to beholding their ground. they're rejecting the idea of new snap elections and a return to a more democratic constitution. now all of this as we've been saying very crucial to u.s. strategic interests in the area. ukraine, one of the more populist and largest countries in europe. it is absolutely on the fault line between the west and russia. that is why washington is watching this very closely indeed. back to you. jamie: we understand why it is so important. greg palkot live from london. greg, thank you. bill: seems seems to have disappeared a little bit with the sochi games starting but has not gone away. major developments on a u.s. soldier held captive by the taliban for more than five years now. what the white house is said to be doing to try to free army sergeant bowe bergdahl. that is next.
6:28 am
6:31 am
jamie: fox news alert for you. the obama administration is reportedly reviving talks with the afghan taliban. it is part of a new effort to free u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl who was captured back in 2009 in exchange for the release of taliban prisoners currently held at gitmo. good idea? retired four-star general jack keane is here, former army vice chief of staff, a fox news military analyst. general, great to have you here. thank you so much. >> good to see you, jamie. jamie: can you measure the risk
6:32 am
versus the reward? you let five former taliban members who have been at gitmo for a long time out, and we potentially get our soldier back but can we really trust the taliban? >> first we can't trust the taliban, that's for sure. the other thing, jamie. if they have been at gitmo this long, even though we don't know who they are, that has not been identified in open sources, we can assure ourselves that these are bad guys and they're there for very, very good reasons, all that said, listen, we've got a soldier behind enemy lines who has been detained for five years. i think it is very appropriate one to try to rescue them. that is not possible because he is likely in pakistan an we haven't been able to get any intelligence, or two, try to negotiate his release and that's what we're doing. i think what it means to the morale of our troops at war a long time, that their government is coming for them one way or the other is really very important to them.
6:33 am
i know for a fact that our troops in afghanistan would certainly agree with this kind of an exchange. jamie: first of all i'm very curious why we haven't been able to rescue him all these years but i also am curious about what restrictions we can put on the release of these prisoners if we return them. can we have them under arrest someplace else? do we have that power? >> well, it is all in part of the negotiations we can do that. when we tried that in the past only release one at a time and maybe two and keep them in qatar initially and doha. i don't know what is on the table but certainly those kinds of negotiations could be on the table to foresteal getting back into afghanistan, at least until most of our troops are out of there. jamie: in terms of a rescue, why isn't your intel good enough to know after all these years exactly where this soldier is? although i assume, let me just say this. i do know from another pow you're often moved from one
6:34 am
location to another but why haven't we been successful in that regard? >> that is a good question. we worked very hard to try to find him. most people believe, intelligence sources he is in pakistan and being hid by the haqqani network. when you're just trying to hide one person it is relatively easy to do and that person is obviously not communicating to everybody was bin laden was. we had difficulty finding him an everybody in our intelligence services were after him for 10 years. so i think it is understandable why we haven't been able to track him down. it is not for lack of effort. i know for a fact that the military and our cia has never given up trying to find him. jamie: no, that is important for americans to note. that everything is being done but what about other countries? they say his health in the last pictures that we've sign of him is deteriorated. are there other countries or the united nations or other red cross groups that should be coming in and supporting the efforts to get him home? >> well, absolutely.
6:35 am
that's a great comment. i mean the first country, foremost here is pakistan. jamie: they're supposed to be our friend. we give them money, remember? >> we give them lots of money, jamie. they're supposed to be our ally but truth be known they act against our interests time and time again. i'm confident our government has put some kind of pressure on pakistan to give up this guy because they know where he is. they're very tied to the haqqani network but the fact is, jamie, they support the haqqani network with intelligence and resources and actually with training. how sad is that? jamie: i will ask anybody that can do anything to try to bring him home. i know you will step up any efforts you can as well, general. thank you so much. >> always good talking to you, jamie. bill: his home town of sun valley, idaho. they have kept this man in their memory the entire time. listen to his father talk. he says when i wake up i'm on afghanistan time. when i go to bad i'm on afghanistan time. jamie: the question is pakistan,
6:36 am
the bigger question, why aren't they doing everything they can. doesn't sound like they are with what we're doing. bill: 25 minutes to the hour. spoilers today on winter olympics, plenty to share from sochi. merrill davis, charlie white winning gold in ice dancing. they have been skating since they were kids. 17 yearsing to. together. nicely done. six more days remain. so, knock on wood, throw salt over the shoulder, do whatever you can, right? fingers crossed. medal count now. tight race, usa and home country russia tied at 19 medals overall each. onward. jamie: that's impressive. bill: yes it is. jamie: can't ask more than that. bill: six more days. jamie: we're so proud. meanwhile $100 million of taxpayer money?
6:37 am
i don't know where it is coming from. they keep asking for more. nobody's been able to use one state's health care website to sign up for obamacare though. now one lawmaker wants the fbi to get involved. bill: why some liberals are saying that racism is to blame for a union defeat at a tennessee auto plant. bob beckel, andrea tantaros are in their separate rings. they will come out fighting on that next. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. yeah. everybody knows that. did you know there is an oldest trick in the book? what? trick number one. look-est over there. ha ha. made-est thou look. so end-eth the trick.

6:41 am
there it is. >> most existment this neighborhood had in a while. but it's a little bit daunting to live so close to something like that. having kid around something like that will be a little bit concerning so you know that they're safe. where is the, they come up unexpectedly. you know, them getting near something like that. so yeah, that is probably the biggest concern. jamie: not the kind of excitement you look for in your neighborhood. no homes are in danger right now. officials keep an eye on it. they don't want it to happen again and they will fill in the hole meantime. bill. bill: till the next one happens, right? only days after a worker in a auto plant in tennessee voted against joining a union some liberals are blaming it on racism. timothy noah on msnbc said yesterday. quote, the opposition gathered, portrayed this as northern invasion a refighting of the civil war, apparently there are not a lot of black employees in this particular plant. so that kind waving of the
6:42 am
confederate flag was an effective strategy. hmmm. bob beckel, former democratic campaign manager, co-host of "the five." andrea tantaros, co-host of "the five." how are you? timothy noaa wah noah writes twice a week for cnbc.com. he -- msnbc.com. he says this waving confederating a flag is effective strategy. weigh in on that. >> that is tired, old, desperate argument people resort to, when real issues like salary and wages, that is with what this was b if the plant unionizes and let's uaw takes control, do the workers want to give more of their wages to uaw, that essentially bankrupt ad lot of companies in detroit. the plant said no. and it was very clear-cut vote. this had nothing to do with racism at all. and i think it is, really shameful that they're going in this direction. i know bob and are about to
6:43 am
brawl on this one because it is really, bob, getting really pathetic. >> the uaw, they represented ford too. ford seems to be doing quite well. all the union's fault why detroit went under. i've done a lot of politics in tennessee. eastern tennessee is very republican. not ironically the vw plant itself. they were not actually opposed to having a union. they didn't actively get out there, the commune around them that did. among others senator bob corker. the implication of, this goes back historically, implication of northernerrers coming down, this is the most liberal union in the country. they were there for the civil rights movement. they were there for the cesar chavez movement. they were there for now. you go on down the list, uaw was there. bill: bob, there was a simple question here. are you also blaming racism for that failed union vote? >> i'm blaming much more culture
6:44 am
than i am race. i think there was undercurrent of -- bill: okay. >> where is the evidence though? bill: that is the question. where is the proof? that opinion? >> the problem is a lot of this was, i talked to a uaw organizer who was down there and he said he was stuck on the floor of the shop. it was people saying, other businesses are in the area saying we don't want to be unionized. you really want these northern to come down here? this is very much reminds us of the civil rights movement. bill: i'm sorry. just to be clear. that is what you're going with. >> what do you mean that is what you're going with? bill: secondhand talk on floor of a plant to claim racism? hang on. everything south of the mason-dixon line come back to the confederate flag. >> democrats would like it to come back. uaw and unions in general are in big trouble in this country, bill. they have to grasp for straws. they have to reach for racism. when in fact vw is a stellar
6:45 am
company, right. i can see if unions are needed to come in to negotiate for higher wages or more generous packages. that was not the case here. they were given option of local works council, very european socialized type of group where workers management could negotiate. guess what the workers in vw said. we don't need that. this is great place to work. worried they will do something to our wages. >> can i correct one absolute fallacy. i don't know it. i worked in civil rights movement a long time. my father did before me. i know a lot about that area. >> we're talking about now. >> you said union they would have to pay money to the unions. under this right to work laws you don't have to pay money to unions. so that is wrong. flat wrong. for you guys to assume that you have to some sort of evidence, was there a piece of literature said this would be invasion from the north, this would be negroes coming down here? of course not. but it was a cultural sense in that is right past state of the as i said i worked that state. that led to this. bill: how about this point?
6:46 am
"l.a. times." vw workers vote tells uaw get a better sales pitch? they didn't believe what they were selling down there. that is why the vote went down. >> if i were them i would have done it, the campaign differently. i think thecampaign was not as well-run as it should have been. relied too much on people outside of tennessee to do it for them. and they didn't have a good ol' boy network that the corker and business and the tennessee -- >> isn't that a little racist, saying good ol' boy network? >> i don't consider that racist? >> yeah. bill: hang on bob, one second. andrea go. >> whether defeated wisconsin or here, somehow boils down to some argument about race. or if democrats can bring it about gender they do. the bottom line was this. they were worried that the uaw would come in, yes, bob, negotiate for less wages, a lower salary than they're currently getting. they said we don't want it. we don't need it. stay out. the unions have done enough damage. guess what?
6:47 am
the unions are so desperate for survival because workers are saying no up shot to giving you a portion of my salary they will do anything they can and blame it on race call up -- bill: bob, 30 seconds left. >> can you explain to me, unions are always bad, one responsible for this? now all of sudden they're a weak group, barely trying to hang on and using racism. you can't have it both ways. unions are a big threat as you say it is other hanging on. >> it was a big threat. bill: instead of rationalizing it. why don't we respect the outcome of the vote. >> i respect it. they won. >> that is not what the unions are saying. they're going to sue. >> i would if i on their side i would have run the cultural war too. >> did you just -- >> i just said it. i will say it again. >> a lot of people in that company did not like the idea of uaw and its history coming down into the state. i'm not calling it racism. bill: would you advise them to do that?
6:48 am
>> what? >> he just said he would. >> would i advise them -- bill: pick up phone and call them to manage a campaign like that? >> yeah. i would, i would not. i would think that, look, let's face it. investigation -- volkswagen has kind of unionization it does because vw had a long storied history with hitler and nazis. bill: come on. >> they did. bill: we don't have enough, don't have enough time. >> that is the problem. you can't raise these things because history, history dictates a lot of things. if you don't think volkswagen had a long storied history with the nazis the reason they got unionized in germany when the americans get -- >> volkswagen didn't have to invite wv to the table and left it up to the workers. leave it at that. bill: we'll pull this string back to the ball and put it away for the next seven hours and 12 minutes. see you at 5:00. >> thank goodness. bill: jamie, what is next? jamie: guys, there are some
6:49 am
incredible new technology, lasers that are capable of shooting down unmanned aircraft. sound like something out of a movie but it's not. it is very real. it is the u.s. navy. they're set to begin deploying real-life laser hardware. we'll tell you about that. >> terrifying ordeal on this airliner. turbulence so severe sent five people on board to the hospital after that plane landed. >> the plane suddenly dropped. it hit some turbulence and dropped and it was pretty rough.
6:52 am
6:53 am
drones, other boats, even missiles already been fired. the weapon will be deployed on a ship for the first time later this year. it is being tested in san diego. joining me now, peter brookes, former cia officer, a retired navy commander, senior fellow for national security affairs at the heritage foundation. thank you, peter, for being with us. >> good to be with you. jamie: we always know we are giving our troops the most advanced, best technology, everything they need to get the enemy. how advantageous will this be? >> i think it is great. i mean in some ways it is like "star wars." you're talking about lasers. these will be deployed just on a test platform, not throughout the fleet yet. this is new technology to deal with emerging threats. even better i think, jamie, is the fact in these toughies call times it may be quite cost effective. so lots of good news out there. it isn't a proven technology yet for the entire fleet but we're moving in that direction. jamie: i know the navy is pretty excited about it. what enemy specifically will it be most advantageous?
6:54 am
>> well they're talking about some of these asymmetric threats. that is something that is a technology or a weapon system that is is supposed to take advantage of a vulnerability that we may have. for instance if this ship were to deploy someplace like the persian gulf, the iranians for instance use a couple of techniques. one is, they have swarming boats. you could send a bunch of small boats with missiles on them at one large, high value target such as a major capital ship. and then it would overwhelm its defenses and you would be able to perhaps incapacitate it or sink it. we also, drones, we're not only people using drones. that technology is being used. so, those are some of the things that it could be used for. but once again, once you're able to field this technology with confidence, sometimes it also births other technologies and other applications. there are new systems out there, for instance, the chinese have a new missile out there, an antiship ballistic missile considered to be carrier killer.
6:55 am
maybe at some point down the road, something along with lasers may be able to deal with something like that. jamie: just word getting out it is in the works lets everyone know, the bad folks that we're working on things. how outdated is the naval fleet or is it at all? >> i'm very concerned about first of all, you need a lot of ships for the challenges we face today. we're still a global power. and if, i remember correctly, jamie, we may have fewer ships in the coming years than at any point since world war i, that's right, world war i. these are very capable ships. we have a great navy and capable officer and enlisted corps. the fact of the matter is there a certain quality and quantity. you will need ships to deal with american interests overseas. the president is talking about a pacific pivot, rebalancing our forces. the pacific theater is very much a navy theater, the concern is with the rise of the chinese navy the largest navy outside of the nights, we'll not have
6:56 am
enough ships to protect our interests at sea. jamie: just my research seems like naval fleet is playing more after role this last year. good to hear things are moving in that direction. you're so per speck to bring us up to speed what it is all about. thank you, peter brookes. good to talk to you. >> thank you. bill: here we go again. millions facing another winter wallop. how bad will it get this time. jamie: time to buy more firewood. republicans are pushing back against president obama's use of executive action. some calling a violation of our constitution, next. >> the best thing we can do in congress is to withhold funds, for congress to exercise its power over the purse. when you have diabetes like i do,

7:00 am
northeast and that is where we start this hour. i am bill hemmer. 2014, the winter. jaimie: what are we going to do? commuters have to dig out again in places like indiana. those higher temperatures could create flood concerns when the snow melts it gets water. bill: good morning to you, who is in the target now? >> you mention something very important, if you live in the northeast o and midwest, you lok around, a lot of snow has not gone away, temperatures have remained below freezing for so many of us, so with the dramatic warming in the next few days there could be flooding concerns in many of these areas.
7:01 am
you can see behind me the radar picture and a lot of snow in portions of the northeast. snowfall accumulations have been very limited in the northeast. just a couple of inches in pennsylvania and new jersey. in parts of southern england across massachusetts we could be dealing with heavier snowfall accumulations, four to 8 inches. some a few voicing a foot of snow across parts of maine. the wind will be a big issue for some of you in the afternoon and evening hours. heading home from work will be tough. here's a look at the warm-up. mid-40s by wednesday and thursday the warm-up continues chicago 45 degrees for your high temperatures. that will feel very nice, so with the warm-up comes dangerous weather, that is very widespread severe weather that will be possible talking thunderstorms, damaging wind, large hail and
7:02 am
isolated tornadoes possible. bill: we will get to that when it comes. thanks, maria. jaimie: some of the snow we have been telling you about causing problems on the highway in southwest michigan. we will let you take a look at emergency crews help dig out dozens of cars and trucks. at least 15 semi's jack knifing and sliding into each other, twisting sheet-metal, opening them like cans of tuna. six people suffering minor injuries. the highway was clear to get overnight but police are warning folks to really drive carefully. bill: the storms making historic year for 2014. at least a month to go of winter. 108 inches of snow, some folks in michigan want to challenge that, doing it online already. we will see who in the end is right.
7:03 am
canceling 75,000 domestic flights since the first of december. that is the most since the winter of 1987. jaimie: big number. fox news alert, and oregon congressman asking the fed to investigate his states obamacare exchange. some 150 million taxpayer dollars have been spent on the website, but not a single person has been able to use it to enroll. the site is riddled with glitches and snafus. more than four months after it launched. how on earth did that happen? >> that is a good question. a lot state is a combination of incompetence. they set out to design a system from scratch that would be the envy of the country. what they have is the biggest boondoggle in the u.s. and unfortunately it is not over yet.
7:04 am
$160 million spent so far, not a single person able to use it to sign up for health insurance. cover oregon cannot tell us when it will be working. last week republican congressman and others asked the government accountability office to investigate. >> if this were a car being sold, you would get it taken back with the lemon law. the car dealership would be held accountable. we have to hold government accountable for this. reporter: it will be about two weeks before they decide whether or not investigate the claim. jaimie: that is an interesting analogy. many states have lemon loss. could anybody actually go to prison for this? >> there has been an allegation of fraud taken to the fbi, but we can't get the answer if the
7:05 am
bureau is a myth getting or pursuing it or not. we should know relatively soon. folks have not yet been interviewed but that could still happen. to go top executives have resigned. the chief information officer, king says he misled him about the readiness. the allegation he was taking to the fbi was the cover oregon at the fed to keep the grant money flowing. so much money has been wasted, like $10 million on a bunch of commercials getting people excited about obamacare. some say it all will eventually work out and republicans are just trying to score points by piling on. >> the notion of having investigation in the local state is extremely premature. it wasn't for political campaigns going on, wouldn't have needed it. >> people can sign up through a 20 page paper application.
7:06 am
so far 30,000 people have done that, but that is nowhere near enough to keep a solvent so there are concerns this whole cover oregon could tumble down. there is a call for its to get scrapped altogether. jaimie: thanks. bill: oregon is not real estate having troubles. their problems in maryland and massachusetts. fox news contributor looking at all of this. good morning to you. you say the scrutiny is over. i guess it is when you spend that much money. where are we on this? >> it is not a good thing when you have the state exchanges looking toward the federal website and the federal exchange as an improvement over what has been happening in the state. these are states maryland, massachusetts and oregon in particular that were seen initially as potentially models for the country as a way the state exchanges should be working and as it makes it very
7:07 am
clear, this is a very clear problem for the federal government and this is the beginning of what i am certain will be a long investigation particularly and to what is happening in oregon. bill: there was a question abo aboutcalling the money back for taxpayers. is that possible? >> how often does that happen taxpayers get their money back after it has been misspent in this fashion? if you look at what happened in particular in oregon, some of the work that has been done in oregon and others has been extraordinary, and you read the reports, it is jaw-dropping. in particular, the chief information officer. it created a dummy website to dupe the federal government into thinking oregon state exchange was actually working. if those allegations can be shown to be true, and it sounds like there's at least conflict
7:08 am
among some of the folks running the state exchange, you can bet there will be not only a gal investigation, potentially fbi investigation and some people ending up in jail. bill: there calling for the fbi to investigate, top officials have resigned. we will see if they get the federal probe. a lot of money. thank you a lot. more to come. jaimie: and a fox news alert. and you push on capitol hill, republicans rolling out the stop act. to curb the presidents increase use of executive power. live in washington. joining us on this, does this plan have a chance? >> this so far as a house resolution with those thing it is time to hold the president accountable that the president shall take care the lobby faithfully executed.
7:09 am
he started the move about bringing a lawsuit against the administration. he says from health care to immigration the president is ignoring or modifying laws in violation of the constitution. here's what he told me about taking on this fight. >> we have the constitution, all right? our freedom is under attack here. we cannot watch them trample on the constitution. i don't think there is anything more important happening in the house right now. our president is talking about it. he is the king, not a president. jaimie: i asked the chances in the house. this shouldn't be a partisan issue because everybody should be concerned if a president goes too far. >> they have had trouble with that in the past, haven't they? >> they have.
7:10 am
dennis kucinich has tried to sue president george w. bush and obama. he was shot down twice. federal judge writing a very pointed footnote saying while there may be conceivably some political benefits ensu in suine president and secretary of defense, in light of shrinking judicial budgets, scarce resources and heavy cartload, it is frustrating to spend time and effort adjudicating the relitigation of settled questions of law basically the judge saying you don't have standing member of congress to sue the president but members this time around say it is a different scenario, they are suing because loss they wrote or voted for ar being modified witt any input from them. jaimie: interesting. thanks. bill: tell us what you think on twitter. fire away right now. chilling claims from accused craigslist killer that she murdered 22 people starting at the age of 13.
7:11 am
but is she just fishing for an insanity plea? our legal panel will way that, plus this. jaimie: put is going on in the streets of one of america's biggest allies turning deadly. what exactly is sparking that violence? bill: and why tinseltown says it needs government help to stay alive. really? $14 per movie in new york city. are you flo? yes. is this the thing you gave my husband? well, yeah, yes. the "name your price" tool. you tell us the price you want to pay, and we give you a range of options to choose from. careful, though -- that kind of power can go to your head. that explains a lot. yo, buddy! i got this. gimme one, gimme one, gimme one! the power of the "name your price" tool
7:12 am
only from progressive. does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene. available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel, biotene can provide soothing relief, and it helps keep your mouth healthy, too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene -- for people who suffer from dry mouth. ♪ ♪ where you think you're gonna go ♪ ♪ when your time's all gone?
7:13 am
7:14 am
7:15 am
we were told there was really no forewarning. a lot of screaming, a lot of hollering and things like that going on. bill: five people going to the hospital, they must have really felt it. landed and hurt on another seat. jaimie: this is pretty wild. hollywood, they are demanding cash-strapped california give it more tax breaks as it warns the iconic film industry is vanishing. an advocacy group out with the dire warning saying "as policymakers failed to make the state more competitive, the film industry will face the same threafateas other industries ing aerospace result in hundreds of thousands of jobs leaving
7:16 am
california for other states." a report by san francisco film commission reviewing hollywood financial impact on the golden state saying every jobs lost in the film industry results in a loss of $112,000 in spending by the economy. in the past 15 years, film production has declined almost 60%. a friend has $100 million film tax incentive five years ago but the survey concluded that was not enough, producing within the state borders. editor of "the daily caller" has something to say about this. great to see you. hollywood asking for special privileges. >> not surprising. everything he put on the screen is absolutely true. the business climate is driving the entertainment business out of california into neighboring states and neighboring countries into canada.
7:17 am
all the states around idaho, wyoming and oregon have been beneficiaries of ridiculous revelatory and tax environments in california which is the highest personal income taxes in the united states. the irony is th entertainment business is partly responsible for the current climate in california. the people who run the studios are the same ones who fund the campaign of obama and jerry brown accreted the climate making it impossible for aerospace for example to stay. they left because the government of california which is the biggest employer of the state. jaimie: this is the cover story on "the daily caller." so the question is, this does raise the facts jobs are lost in all these other industries. you think anything will be done if the entertainment industry to have certainly lobbying organizations, what do you think they will do about it?
7:18 am
>> they are the atm machines the democratic party. many of the biggest donors are hollywood entertainment mogul. there are many others. have a lot of political power, but savor the irony of this. think of all the different tax increases. over the past 20 years, it is for the children, universal preschool, the environment, if you're against it, you're a bad person. for the same group of people to say wait, we need an exemption is really hypocrisy at its lowest. we are responsible for the condition of the state. jaimie: jimmy fallon loses the
7:19 am
tonight show. a lot of new york entertainment employees now have jobs. how should they feel about that? >> you are absolutely right. there are 49 states to choose from. they are fleeing to new york, that tells you how that california is because new york is almost as bad. all of the states around california, neighboring states have been the beneficiaries. go to any of the high income zip codes, boise, scottsdale, knock on the door and ask a simple question, where did you make your money. they are all from california. half the people i've grown up with have left. really hard to make a living there unless you are rich. if you are not yet rich, it is hard to deliver that. jaimie: thanks, tucker. would love to watch you on the weekend.
7:20 am
bill: remember when this happened. nearly a year after media ripped through the skies of russia, another close encounter by a monster asteroid a lot bigger than that one. how close did it come? jaimie: this is nothing to clown around about. why you might not be happy when the circus visits your town.
7:24 am
jaimie: not only is he paying $14 for a movie, there will not be a lot of clowns around. say it ain't so, national clown shortage. according to the world clown association, country's largest trade group, the clown, membership has plunged 29% in the past decade. only 2500 clowns. the reason is attrition because many older clowns are honking their last horn. younger generations cannot fill the shoes. or the car. bill: president obama and the democrats putting climate change back on the agenda, but could that cost them? the senate majority on the panel last night. listen. >> the arrogance of this is rather appalling but worse is the application on our economy.
7:25 am
getting us out of our larger cars driven by this ideology in and of itself is a matter. bill: carl, where is this going? >> they will not be any legislation on climate change this year but he will use effective authority to curb carbon emissions. that is guaranteed to make this a campaign issue for the midterm elections. in indonesia, john kerry said climate change is a global threat, he said the science is unequivocal and those who do not yet have their heads in the sand. >> epidemics, poverty, weapons of mass destruction, all challenges that no no borders. the reality is the climate
7:26 am
change ranks right up there with every single one of them. >> they have been giving a climate change speech every week for the last couple of years, and next month he and 20 other liberal democratic senators are planning an all nighter to highlight the issue. the last time democrats tackle climate change it backfired at the polls big-time. in 2009 democrats controlled the house and senate majorities. house democrats lost 51 seats in 2010, many of them at the time specifically blamed the debate of climate change and the debates to vote on it. this time around it is the control of the senate in play. by taking effective action they have the democratic incumbents in red states like louisiana, arkansas, north carolina, alaska, three open seats. montana, west virginia.
7:27 am
they have very big energy and climate concerns. they have already distanced themselves from the president based on obamacare. the threat is if the universal unilaterally fictiv effective or will be seen as an overreach. jaimie: the son of a copilot whose plane was hijacked on 9/11 picks up where his father let off. >> i want to be an american pilot, i really think he would be proud. jaimie: now one man is honoring his father. bill: stop in the overreach, they say with the president is doing is entirely legal. look to limit executive actions. >> nobody knows how to deal with
7:28 am
a guy who makes up the law every day when he gets up. we have never confronted this before, we have never had a president who is so lawless. amee a simple question: can you keep your lifestyle in retirement? i don't want to think about the alternative. i don't even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last.
7:29 am
7:31 am
7:32 am
lots of activity. four people killed in the last five days of intense fighting. live in miami with the latest. you have been tracking this for us, what can we expect today? >> we can expect more street protest including a large march led by the opposition leader in defiance of the u.s. venezuelan officials say they intend to arrest lopez. yesterday government officials carried out a raid on the headquarters of lopez political party. >> venezuela did not accept threats, blackmail or conditions of any kind from any foreign country. >> lopez has said he will turn himself into police after today's march. jaimie: clearly it is being monitored, but could it all spiral out of control?
7:33 am
then what? >> a lot of people worried that could happen. right now most of the protesters are peaceful but a small core of violent protesters using pipe bombs and molotov cocktails centered around the state. lot of venezuelans watching on the sidelines and are worried about what might happen. >> i hope everything could be solved peacefully at last because nobody wants to fall into chaos. we are looking forward to peace. >> since these protest began last week, at least for protesters have been killed. back to you. jaimie: a lot of them showing up in the streets to be heard. thanks. bill: waiting for the animation. jaimie: there it is. bill: republicans working on a new bill to limit the president's use of executive action bypassing congress on changes and delays for obamaca
7:34 am
obamacare. the best way to stop this is to take away the presidents wallet. >> the best thing we can do in congress is to withhold funds. for congress to exercise its power. james madison seven a president is using this power, the best thingcongress can do is withhold earnings so he cannot hurt the american people. bill: that is the point he was making yesterday morning. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. bill: and we asked is president obama using can rest congressional power. >> they can't find anywhere that the president is allowed to write laws without congress or do something worse as obamacare as they passed a law over the
7:35 am
objection the people of congress represents eminent president decides parts of his own law our job destroyers were damaging to america, he simply modifies the law without going back to congress. those are the actions of a dictator. bill: republicans have a big problem with this. do democrats? spiegel everybody has a problem with executive order when it is not their discretion, their candidate, they are guy or girl doing the order in. here is the thing, bill. we actually have a remedy. if in fact this president or any president over spares that threshold of constitutionality when it comes to executive orders, there is a real remedy. it comes from the judicial court of government. it is unconstitutional and they will strike it down, but it is not congress' job to step in on this matter. bill: make the point, the more
7:36 am
it happens, the more pressure builds in congress and when the pressure builds, you exact change. do you believe that, or no? >> the congress has to act. if you say control, the house has passed several bills to be fun obamacare, the senate won't touch them and the said wouldn't sign them even if democrats got on board. you have to have standing to bring the lawsuit, and then taking a decade. acting through executive order illegally and unconstitutionally and if it is a legal challenge, ithey won't even get to the supreme court before he is done being president. bill: the measure is called st stop, stop this overreaching
7:37 am
president and the question is whether or not they can. >> here's the thing, i respect your point, but that is the process. we have to respect what the process is. the purse clinching, it seems just a little bit passive aggressive to me. there is indeed a process for this end the determination of all processes is overreaching in the first place, executive orders are subject to president of discretion and you don't have to like it, but until this president determines to be unconstitutional for the court, i don't really see how congress is moving forward with this. bill: we just had a debate yesterday suggesting republicans take the white house in 2016 all this is going to backfire. give you the last word. >> democrats should be very careful what they accept. if they say the president can say for example authorize a million and a half in violation of federal law with the stroke
7:38 am
of a pen, republican presidents can do that as well, but republican president would decide that is an overreach of power going beyond his constitutional authority and he wouldn't do it. i don't see a republican president acting the way this president does. bill: last word, 10 seconds. >> i think that is a bit wishful thinking. they find themselves tiptoeing that line from time to time. lot of people do not like what i'd haeisenhower did, but he dit anyway. that brings us back to the spirit and when that line is over crossed, they report issues. bill: it is something to think about. thank you for your time. 22 minutes now before the hour. >> we're learning a lot more from the latest craigslist killer.
7:39 am
shocking claims, she said she killed nearly two dozen more people and she has been doing it since she was 13. is that just a play for an insanity defense down the road? our legal panel takes on the case. plus this. bill: that was a scene out of rush about a year ago. the meteor crashing from the sky injuring hundreds. now another big rock paying a visit to mother earth. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right, no hidd fees. it's just that i'm worried about, you know, "hidden things." ok, why's that? well uhhh... surprise!!! um... well, it's true. at ally there are no hidden fees. not one. that's nice.
7:42 am
7:43 am
earth, a hair length by interstellar standards. the asteroid was never a threat. just kind of a flyby. jaimie: three football fields, really? few questions now after a murder suspect claims to be a serial killer. is she? telling a reporter she started telling when she was 13 after joining a satanic cult. she is 19 now and accused with her husband of luring a man with a craigslist ad and killing him and she is claiming it is far from the first time telling a reporter "when i hit 22 i quit counting. i can pinpoint on a map where you can find them. remember everything, it is like watching a movie." legal analyst and contributor, former general counsel and former prosecutor, associate managing director of the risk management firm.
7:44 am
great to have both of you. have you ever had a client arrested on one charge and brags about others? >> certainly had people arrested who then wants to talk about other crimes they know about or committed but nothing like this where she says she could have committed close to 100 murders, she lost count. hard to believe that by 19 she could have done this, but she is saying she can pinpoint where the bodies are. there is overwhelming evidence committing at least one vicious murder with her husband worship the lord in a man through craigslist and had stabbed them. we don't know how violent she has been in the past. jaimie: there are so many questions in this case. at this point she has a public defender, so chances are the attorney i saw quoted as saying
7:45 am
they didn't know they would continue the interview with a local reporter. certainly got the shock of her life saying she had committed all these other murders. the first thing i thought to myself as an attorney but not a criminal defense attorney is what a set up for an insanity defense. your thoughts? >> i agree with that. saying it was a set up for an insanity may be true wit which t be giving her too much credit. this is a woman accused of murder in november in pennsylvania. she may just want attention, they want to be known as the next female ted bundy for all we know. it is hard to know what was in her mind if she knew right from wrong. this person does not fit a serial killer profile. most serial killers are men, women are typically older. those that are older and serial killers don't usually use

knives, which she is accused of doing. this isn't a typical narrative we would see in a serial killer. jaimie: with the body is found, she is accused of where the body was found in a backyard and typically they go out of the way to hide any evidence. listen to how they describe it. how he describes what may be the state of mind right now. listen. >> perhaps it is something that is a trend that the infamy of serial killers is so enticing that somebody in jail would rather be an infamous serial killer than just a tube it proper that turned murder. jaimie: representing criminals, in their mind if they know they'rtheyare probably going toe convicted, do they want to be bigger and more famous for having killed more? >> some people might. we have a celebrity culture, people want to be famous for

7:48 am
defense they may try to bring up could be where she was not able to control her own actions, that is another direction they could go in, but it was not helpful she gave that interview and i'm sure her attorney wasn't pleas pleased, she is certainly not helping herself. jaimie: this investigation crosses many state lines, and we will stay on the case, certainly bizarre at this point. thank you so much. bill: jenna lee standing by. what are you cooking up? >> we have no analysis on the affordable care act. we will talk a little bit about that. and new standards on fuel efficiency today. what it means for the trucks on the road plus news of the long-term negative impact of%w[ bullying kids and loneliness. it can be quite as deadly as obesity. we have no research on that.
