>> they've called a threat to moscow to russia's interests. what will they do about that? good morning, everybody. i'm martha. >> good morning, everyone. good morning, martha. >> i'm in for bill hammer today. the current government issuing an arrest warrant for the president, viktor yanukovych. he's wanted for the killing of more than 80 protesters last week. many of whom were cut down in cold blood. he disappeared yesterday as the violence came to a head. no one knows where he is. he was turned back at the border as he tried to flee russia. >> what a story this is. amy's been following this. streaming live from moscow for

us. where do things stand right now, amy? >> reporter: well, martha, as you've laid is it out, it was an extraordinary series of events. a couple of days ago viktor yanukovych was president and he went from being absentee president to missing president and now to a wanted man, wanted for mass murder. the new parliament and new president are quickly firing people, hiring people, putting new people into positions of power for better or for worse. a lot of these people are the same crowd that worked under the former prime minister who was freed over the weekend. she had been in prison for embezzlement. as many as 30 people are wanted for the violence. millions of people are wanted from the yanukovych regime. he put on his facebook page the sequence of events as we know about his whereabouts.

saturday he apparently choppered to harkov in eastern ukraine and then from there choppers on to danyesv. then he goes to a private san any tore yum sunday, sunday evening according to the facebook post. he gathers his security detail around and says who's with me. >> the protesters, i don't know if we still call them protesters, basically the opposition people are all out on the square still and they're going to stay there until it's full will he resolved. they have a certain amount of suspicion on politicians from both stripes, of all stripes. i think now that the violence

has ended.

>> what a look. lawmakers in washington reacting to the developments there as the country's interim president promised country to the west away from moscow. and now republicans senators have a clear message for the russian president: stay out of it. >> if i were putin today at the

end of the olympics i would be little nervous because the people of russia have watched this transpire and they are tired of crony capitalism that governs russia. >> i believe the president needs to up his game and send a clear message to putin not to interfere what is happen in the ukraine and let them determine their future and i think this is an important time to not interfere. >> the white house says president obama and president putin were in a conference on the phone said that the best news to resolve the conflict is stay out. one of the most wanted drug

wards has been busted in mexico where he was staying in a condo. he escaped from prison a decade ago and is responsible for supplying 1/4th of the drugs crossing the border. willi william, are we going to let him here to trial? >> reporter: he is responsible for countless dead and murdered in the sovereign country. he went to a mexican jail in 1993 and escaped in a laundry cart after serving half of his sentence. another cartel leading also sentenced for a lengthy term went free from a mexico jail at

m midnight let go by a corrupt panel of judges. so they can buy their freedom which is why the u.s. law enforcement wants him extradited here. >> he would be put in a super-max prison where he can not escape and be brought to justice with a life in prison sentence. >> reporter: and if the president of mexico was in office, they say he would be here. but the current president is more sensitive to sovereignty and will probably want to convict him there. >> it seems like a big win for the mexicans. how was he final captured >> reporter: he has been on the

run for a decade and owns over a billion. 133 weapons, 43 cars plated with gold. he was aided by water taps and cellphone data from recent associates. this place was a mess. it wasn't luxerous by any means. there are about seven indictments here in the united states on charges from cocaine and heroin smuggling to murder. but the justice department hasn't said if they will formally ask mexico to extradiet h -- extradite -- him.

we have a packed show. including a return for the sunday show for susan rice. >> we have not seen you in a while. as you look at on your involvement, do you have any regrets? >> david, no. >> one top lawmakers said that left him speechless. carl rove will talk about what he thinks >> and the polar vortex is back and we'll tell you who should be prepared to bundle up and when and where. and there is this: >> can you believe that? bird versus plane on all caught on tape.

rice this morning. she surfaced on a sunday talk show over the weekend and admitted what she told the american people admitted what she said happened in benghazi was wrong and four people lost their lives that night. and what rice said had john mccain, the senator, quote speechless >> do you have any regrets? >> david, no, because what i said to you that morning and what i did every day since was sharing the best information i had at the time. the information i provided was what we had at the moment and it could change. i commented this was based on what we knew that morning, was provided tome, and colleagues, by the intelligence community and that has been well-validated

sense. it turned out in some respect to not be 100 percent correct. but the notion that i, or anyone, mislead the public. >> susan rice had no reason to be on the program >> carl rove is here and a fox news contr pconbort. tributer >> by thursday morning, the libyan president is saying this is a terrorist event.

they had video available showing this wasn't a result of a spontaneous demonstration. we had the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs tell the president this was a terrorist attack. an e-mail from the spokesperson saying by building objects to the talking point which said terrorist event involving al qaeda. and susan rice was picked out -- >> hilary clinton and all of the people in a better undering didn't want to go out. >> it cost her now the chance to be secretary of state.

who briefed susan rice? why is hilary clinton on friday night rejecting these? and what was the role of mike morrel. >> i want to play this comment chris made in the reaction that susan rice went on all five chose not to this time >> fox led the way in questions the benghazi situation and perhaps rice didn't want to handle the tough questions we would ask. >> i would imagine one of them would be let's talk about when you went to talk to mccain and graham and the fbi came and said they changed the talking points and the fbi said absolutely not. >> mike morrel turned out to be one of the sources of, catherine

hegrity has done convincing reporting on this, mike morrel went to work for a firm run by hilary clinton. what does that say about what he was doing to protect the secretary of state? and what role did he play in fashioning the talking points that were at odds with everyone else's thought >> and she wasn't asked why the cia's station chief said this wasn't a spontaneous demonstration the day before rice went on the programs. and catherine heritage said there was a video conference between mike morrel, greg hick and the survivors, so those who had a better take on the ground, were not happy with mike

morrel's report. >> the family of the men killed want the answers to the question and those that participated and objected at the characterization at the time. so if the administration thinks sending her out with an arrogant attitude, they don't believe it. 52% thought they lied to the public and 37% thought they shared the facts. american people don't believe she was telling the truth. >> we heard from jay carney to let it go. the president said there have been hearing and investigations. but there has been nothing >> the critical questions are not answered. it is september 11th and we were

less than two weeks away from the president and he is saying al qaeda and dead. and the idea of a terrorist attack that killed four people, they didn't want that to be seen as what it was and blamed it on a spontaneous demonstration and that was a lie >> there is an argument it is a pattern of going back to minimizing these and they are one-off events with no chain of connection to a broader war on terror the fcc is reacting to the proposal to monitor newsrooms across the country.

the agencies new announce. ment now. >> dale earnhardt jr won it. can details next of the daytona 500. 500. could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.s and such. dale earnhardt, jr deaaytona 50

works for me. turn to the camera. >>ah, actually i think my eyes might ha... next! digital insurance id cards. just a tap away on the geico app.

>> nascar revving up for the great american race yesterday. but the daytona 500 had a slight delay and i mean six and a half hours. look at the pouring rain at daytona 500 yesterday. what a scene that was. the wet weather moved things to a halt after 38 laps and resumed at 8:30 and ended in a storybook fashion. >> less than a mile to go. we have a wreck.

dale earnhardt, jr brings the checkered flag waving it is over >> we are so happy for him. he has been a guest here and this is something he has wanted for a long time. it happened in a very historic and bitter sweet way for him on the track where his father lost his life. it was a 55-loosing streak and explained why it feels better winning the second time around >> the first time it happens so fast and you cannot take it all in. i don't remember much from that experience. this time you are able to let it all sink in and really enjoy it with the people you care about. i have my family, team, and girlfriend to enjoy it with. >> that is the same track where his father lost his life 13 years ago. way to go,junior

have you heard about the fcc putting the brakes on a study to go into newsroom and monitor the stories being covered? they are saying it is being pospos po postponed for revisions. what will they do now? jonah is here. that means they will bring it back and to marginalize it. >> reporter: i am sure that is what is going to happen. it is getting to the point where these groups have to behave like

they are intrusive. it was so tin eared and so misconceived when you think about where the public distrust is stemming from obamacare, the bugging of journalist and the idea this would be construed this would be just a little research project was crazy >> who came up with this? >> you had the republican commissioner on the fcc saying he was blindsided by this and this was from the permanent overclass at the fcc >> tay called it a critical

information survey and it went to social solutions internation. it says they are a research firm dedicated to the change of underserved populations. what does that mean? >> there are businesses that have thes this model of creating a need from government groups. various tiger groups that get a slice of the pie when the grants go out. and my colleague is reporting that one thing people are concerned with is they might go from interviewing editors and demanding to know what goes in their decisions to using the same survey and techniques to do bean counting for identity politics in order to generate another argument for more

minorty set asides. >> do you think this will do it? >> there are people on the left whose entire mission is to generate arguments to do this. so i think they will do it again. this is a permanent part of thing and these guys have to look for reasons to do this. >> thank goodness for the first amendment. we are bringing you news from michigan. representative -- representative -- dingle is retiring after 58 years in office. he took over for his father who was in that same position and he just surpassed robert bird as the longest serving members an

capital hill. we will have more on that coming up in a while. and the pentagon is announcing cuts bringing us to a budget prior to world war ii. >> and the polar vortex is set to roll back in >> here we go again. before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came

he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america.

and we have a fox news weather alert for you. you know that new term we have added to our vocab? the polar vortex? it is time to use it again and blasting arctic air across the nation and temperatures are expected to drop 20-35 below normal in some cities. it was almost a spring-like weekend in washington, d.c. it was in the 60 and now it is 15 in chicago. the northern polar vortex is a high altitude flow of air that circles west to east bringing the cold air from the north

pole. >> and chuck hagel is expected to recommend deep budget cuts to the armed forced and slashing to half a million. the cuts will limit pay raises for the military including a pay-freeze and cut subsidies for military-based grocery stores and halting cost on military aforce -- air force -- jets. we have a general here to talk about this. did you find this surprising? >> no, not surprising. disappointing, though. they represent 50% of the sequestering cuts.

the military administration knows in the post-911 wars there should be cuts when why draw down. but they are not proportionate. >> it seems like the president is only serious about budget cuts in one department >> that is absolutely right. the defense department is disproportionate cut compared to every other agency in the federal government. that is the truth and sad comment. we are talking about a force that prevents wars from happening and they are capable of prosecute on it called upon. and this is the security of the american people. >> in terms of the specific

cuts, you say the military accepts when they pull out of the war zones, they are likely to do trimback, it is being done in the areas the pentagon want it to be done or is it slash and burn? >> the cuts of the army are deep and cut into the bone of the army. they are not proportionate. the assumption being made at the pentagon is they don't believe the united states will be involved in a ground war again. those assumptions were made after world war ii, vietnam and there cold war. the numbers of the army are

going down to pre-world war ii numbers. and anybody looking at that knows it is far too much. >> we know people in different parts of the country that have pet projects that are defense related are always willing to go to the mat to protect the employment numbers. is that at play in terms of what is being cut and what is being allowed to be built? >> there are things that will be protected at the expense of others. we are using ship, planes and significant fighting organizations in the army. i don't see any change in this in the near future as long as sequesteration is on the table. we have a pass for the bi-partisan law but that is only for the next two years.

the cuts are going to be worse than what we are looking at now. >> in the past we talked about if this is leaving us ready for one or two conflicts. how does that look? >> well pretty severe. any conflict that is protracted and has scale associated with it puts us at risk. the army has very few units ready to fight today. that is the truth. it isn't in the public media, but that is a fact. and this situation is going to get worse. the readiness of them, are being cut, so they will not have the availability to fight war and keep the casualties down.

>> and one candidate is branding obamacare an immoral burden? and that is from tom cotton who is joining us live to explain that. and a shock wave for a woman pulling into her driveway. >> she keeps her cellphone into the car and realized she was in the ground she called 911.

lobsterfest is the king of all promotions. [ male announcer ] don't miss red lobster's lobsterfest! the year's largestelection of lobst entrees like loter lover's dream or new dueling lobster tail withne crab-stuffed tail and one topped with shrimp. hurry in and sea food fferently.

take a look at this sight. how would u you like to happen. this 65-year-old woman was

pulling up into her driveway and toppled into the home. the rescuers were able to pull her out unhurt. that sinkhole is caused by a century old cess pool under her driveway. president obama's policy spend too much money and they have added trillions to the debt and that is slowing economic growth and places a burden on our kids and grandkids. and the policy gives more control to bossy people who want to run your live and hand out special privileges to the elite and well-connected. >> that was a top senator from arkansas -- congressman -- and

he is challenging the only democratic in the legislation. tom cotton, good to have you here >> great to be on with you >> that narrative is what we are going do hear a lot of as we go toward the mid-term address. how is it working in arkansas? >> like so many americans, we are suffering under the burdens of obamacare. this law was sold on failed promises like if you like your plan you can keep it or it will reduce the deficit. you will lose your insurance, your doctor and your job. arkansas is dissatisfied with the president and the governor >> you are one of the races being the most closely watched.

you have alaska, arkansas, louisiana, montana, north carolina, and west virginia as possible states that could flip. what is your assessment on the national picture? >> i think it probably reflects what i see in arkansas. a state that is traditionally more democrat at the local level but they are seeing debt added, and more power focused in washington, d.c. and now they are seeing obamacare problems. >> what do you think about the initiative on the part of the administration to delay a lot of measures of obamacare until after the election? >> it is just another reason this should be called obamacare because the law is what obamacare cares to enforce. we have another delay every day. it goes to show this law is

flawed. the only way to fix it this is to repeal it and allow doctors and families to make the right choice for them and their budget. >> the economy is a major factor and the president is offering an increase in the middle wage. he has done this for federal workers and hopes some states implement this. what is your stand on the middle wage? >> i think washington, d.c. imposing a $10 minimum wage on arkansas would be bad for jobs, workers and families here. obamacare is worse. it reduces the work week from 30 to 40. workers are loosing more than

25% of their hours and their take-home pay is falling. >> good to have you, congressman and, and we will we be watching this race. >> thanks for having me on. there is a scary moment in the sky, martha. >> man, did you see that? a bird smashing right through the plane's windshield and one brave pilot. we will tell you the story coming up. >> keeping steady in the cock pit there. and a silent killer creeps into a restaurant leaving one dead and dozens sick. this town is very much on town after this carbon monoxide care scare. >> it is so frightening. these people were just having dinner. dinner. because an empty pan is a blank canvas.

a pilot's camera putting us in the cock pit during a may day call. watch this. that was a bird. smashing the wind shield of a piper prop plane as the pilot came in for a landing near tampa, florida. the pilot radioed the tower and managed to land safely on the ground. he said he is eager to repair the wind chillshield and get ba into the sky. there are warnings about the danger of carbon monoxide

dangers every winter. but a faulty pipe leaked into a se seafood restaurant and the 55-year-old manner died from the undetected link. laura, we know what happened this morning? >> reporter: i got off the phone with the assistant fire chief. the fumes were circulated in the basement of the restaurant. 27 people were treated. reports were received after a woman fell and hit her head and on the scene they started feeling sick, too. they evacuated the restaurant and found steven nelson dead in a locked bathroom. the president and ceo said more safety checks are needed >> this has to raise awareness

to all of us that we have to push for more codes to come out and establish carbon monoxide detectors. there are 25 state laws that require them in buildings and hotels and schools, but no laws requiring general businesses to have them. >> 25 laws -- that is half of the states. another one as well? >> people in maine suffered at a resort. one of the buildings gas furnace ventilation broke. more than 400 people die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. it feels like the flu but without a fever.

>> it bind to the red blood cell and you cannot get oxygen to your tissues. your tissues are strangling. >> if you think you have been exposed get out immediately and install the detectors in your home and close to all of your sleeping areas. >> just go to home depot and get a monitor. plug it in and when it makes noise, get out. another shot of arctic air is headed our way. get ready for a 30 degree drop in temperatures. live in the weather center. >> and he has been described as the bin laden of drug dealers.

>> he is the god father of the cartel who has smuggled so many drugs in the united states and killed so many people. and bringing him to justice is as a great victory.

>> fox's alert, chaos in ukraine. an arrest warrant as russia gets deeper into the power struggle over the future of ukraine. welcome everybody. brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." >> moscow questions the authority of the new government in kiev. russia's prime minister describing the armed mutiny while the obama administration backs in the leadership. national security imitator

answering a pretty pointed question on "meet the press." >> isn't it interesting are the president say we don't want to look at this as a cold war, but doesn't he look at this sphere of influence the cold war context? >> if he does, but does not reflect where they are coming from. >> deputy assistant victory of defense in the reagan administration. susan rice says the people are not in a cold war mentality anymore. >> he sees this as a zero sum game, an essential element to rebuild in the greater russia. he should finish the olympics. showing russia is back for 20 years of being a power that had economics and political military problems. they are back as a world power. he wants to re-create the russian empire.

without ukraine, russia is just a country. it may be the administration is not thinking of the cold war, but he thinks he may be winning although a bad move. >> the present was reluctant about this to take a side. he said the government has to show restraint, protesters have to make sure they are nonviolent now he is saying he backs the new government. where is the new government headed? we have seen this before. >> every revolution is a free act play. they have done it very well, the military. asked to go, where we now are, is going to be who steps up and who steps down. ukraine has a lot of problems.

they need a $33 billion bailout to keep paying the rent for the next two years. who will step up? they haven't so far. the other question, who steps in? the president of russia said they have military interest in the ukraine. while the russians step in and cut off the gas they need? stay tuned, this is going to be a play that is not over yet. jenna: it seems to be slipping away from him at the moment. i want to talk about the broader image of american power because there are new numbers, haven't seen such open discussion in this country about whether or not anybody cares for the president things about

international affairs. that has been an open discussion the past few days and look at these numbers in terms of the american people. the u.s. perception of president obama world standing is other countries do not respect this president. 41% respect him and look at the numbers among independents because those numbers are bleaker. this president is not respected on the world stage. >> and it shows in the world stage. if you look at the last several years what has happened, in the middle east where we have had enduring alliances, they are openly turning to the russians. the iranians, we seem to be making an alliance. whether it is challenging us on

vervarious parts. the chinese have claimed the pacific because they will not respond. i have been questioning the validity of the united states. region after region they are questioning our alliances and they are thinking a week america, let's take advantage of it. >> on the left-hand side of our screen and live shot this morning where you see the protesters are still very much in place. in terms of where they will get their support from, this protest government, how does that look to you right now? >> somebody needs to step up

with money and somebody has to step up with energy. if russia decides they're going to punish ukraine and turn off the switch, turn off the pipeline, they have done it with no problems turning off the gas, the more important issue is the economy. ukraine is broke, bankrupt. the russians have said they would, but they put that on hold now because they want to. if they join together so far that does not look like it is going to happen. >> we will see what happens. thank you. >> thank you, martha. >> fox's alert for you now. the details on the top story. unsettling news of massive budget cuts possibly coming to

our armed forces. chuck hagel reported plans to shrink the army to the smallest force since before world war ii. news conference that for later today. very latest from washington. what we know about this budget cuts? >> chuck hagel planning to shrink the army to smallest size and decades. today there are 520,000 active-duty soldiers. the army had planned to reduce 490,000 soldiers. he expected to announce a reduction to somewhere in the range of 440,000 to 450,000 soldiers. this comes as the commander-in-chief has emphasized h the into the war in iraq claiming to do the same in afghanistan. >> tightknit communities all across america. fathers, mothers, we'll talk in their kids come up with an arm around their spouse, member

dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients.

used to escape before his eventual arrest. allegedly led the cartel and build a drug empire, they say. spreading throughout north america, europe and australia. the security committee chairman hopes mexico will cooperate with us so he can be held accountable for the drug crimes in america. >> the fact is he escaped the mexican jail in 2001. my argument is he ought to be brought to the united states, put in a super max prison where he can't escape and face the ultimate criminal penalty in the united states. >> joining us now, the chief of narcotics at the u.s. attorney's office. he is a member of rudy giuliani's law firm. man, a man, did you ever think you would see a day when this guy would be nabbed? >> this is huge. on the level of pablo escobar. he has probably been the cause of more deaths than mohammed.

this started under president called her own and is continuing, they'r they are putn much greater emphasis on catching these guys. >> murdered and killed over the past decades. why do you think there was this turn that we were able to nab him at this point? >> slow and steady wins the drug game. wiretaps and informants and witnesses, cell phone tracking, gps tracking and human intelligence development by the law enforcement agencies and mentioned, slow and steady wins the race. >> what does this mean for the future of the war on drugs, does this stop a lot of the cocaine and everything else in? >> i have heard it said in a drug enforcement agent or prosecutor is almost like being a sanitation worker. it is very hard to stop garbage from coming onto the street.

but if you don't pick it up and don't try to clean it up, society is going to dk. this is a huge moment in the war on drugs and i think you just have to keep your foot on the pedal. >> how come we never really heard of this guy before? >> that is how he likes it. joaquin guzman, we used to have his teacher on the wall. those new law enforcement community have been after him forever. >> in his condo, he doesn't put up a fight. what do you expect will happen now? should he be extradited to the united states to face crimes? >> he still has remainder was sentenced to serve in mexico. he escaped imprisonment 2001. mexico can bring him back and force them to serve the rest of that sentence. about seven different districts in the united states want the guy. we have an expeditio extraditioy with mexico be at lot of high-level negotiations.

i think he will do a little time in mexico and then they will send him here. he wants to stay in mexico where he can by people off. we want him here where he will do real-time. >> he could buy somebody off and skewed out again? >> good argument to bring him to the united states. >> could he also turn on people? >> if he has intelligence and wants to do it. a lot of these guys keep themselves in a box so they don't know who is working underneath them and is purposely ignorant. >> a shout out to the dea and federal authorities helping to get an cach means "shorty." marc mukasey, thank you for coming in. >> absolutely. martha: part of football history is no more. there she goes, football stadium taken down plus a clip of when it was no match for the heavy

look at that. it took 84 charges of dynamite to bring down what remained of the metrodome in downtown minneapolis. the metrodome is the former home of the minnesota vikings. they used to play baseball there as well. in his stadium expected to be brought to the site for the 2016 football season. who can forget this site from december 2010. fox sports cameras captured the roof of the metrodome collapsing under the heavy snow hours before a game. the new home of the vikings will have a slanted roof because of all of that snow. martha: we told you how a president is using his pen to enact his agenda. now at the clock ticking on his presidency he is pushing his administration to get as much of his agenda on the books as he can before he leaves office. pretty much as any president

might want to do at this point. chief political correspondent for the washington and fox news contributor. good to have you here. what does this mean? >> it means he is running out of time. under a lot of environmentalists, for example, to get some stuff done. the president no longer has a lot of faith he can get anything done with republicans in the house. he is also worried he might lose the senate in november, and my what happens he is out of time anyway. what that leads to is an increased effort to make all sorts of rules and we're talking about health care type rules, worker safety, food safety, and the environment. we've seen what he is doing now for coal-fired power plants. trying to get stuff done it for his of office did martha: how martha: how much of this is coming from john podesta?

>> he ran the center for progress and is now back in the white house has a high level chief of staff advisor. he really knows how to work the bureaucracy. you are seeing injuries in pace as the influence becomes larger. especially as obamacare was concerned, they were not doing much for releasing relations, people would not like it with the election coming up. they're working overtime to get regulations goo. martha: they have to weigh the threat of these regulations if they are hanging over their head versus appeasing and appealing to some of these interest groups which may be happy these are

going into effect. >> republicans in congress are saying you can't just do this stuff that'll have a a big effect on the economy. there is significant or major regulations, judged to have an economic impact of more than $100 million. obama has done more of those than anybody in the past 15, 20 years and there are more on the way. that is going to be a significant point of contention between republicans in congress no matter who wins, and the president for his last two years. martha: thank you. >> thank you, martha. >> some new developments in that controversial study. the fcc wanting to go into newsrooms. former commissioner coming up will join us live to tell us what he hopes agency is staying out of newsrooms at least for now. >> here we go again, folks. the polar vortex is back, we

will tell you who is in for another round. more extreme winter weather. go away, polar vortex. go away. we are done. to talk to you about hotels. all-you-can-eat is a hotel policy that allows you to eat all that you can. the hotel gym is short for gymnasium. the hotel pool is usually filled with water. and the best dot com for booking hotels, is hotels.com. it's on the internet, but you probably knew that. or maybe not, i don't really know you. bellman: welcome back, captain obvious. captain obvious: yes i am. all those words are spelled correctly.

martha: all right, here we go again. much of the country bracing for another round of extreme winter weather.

yet another polar vortex pushes several states back into the deep freeze, it used to be just cold before. dangerous windchill in the forecast for big cities as a blast of arctic air sweeps across the country. meteorologist maria molina with the latest on this. get out the polar vortex script on this one. maria: that is interesting you mention the polar vortex. that terminology picked up a little bit more steam due to social media that is what everybody knows about the polar vortex now, and a piece of it is going to be moving southward influencing the weather at the surface. it is actually higher above in the atmosphere. that cold air moving southward, influencing the temperatures at the surface, and we will be seeing the temperatures really plummeting across parts of the upper midwest into the great lakes and into the northeast.

we saw temperatures into the 50s and even 60s for some of you. today back to reality, it is still winter and it will feel like it, 30s across new york city, in the 20s in buffalo and look at fargo. single-digit highs for you today. moving southward, and by wednesday parts of texas will be only in the 40s, 40s for you in atlanta and also in the city of rally. not as bad as earlier this season, but releasing the temperatures 40 degrees below average out across parts of the midwest. we do also expect some snow fall as the air moves southward, watch 12 inches of snow expected, and off of lake ontario, smudge as 10 inches of snow expected, lake effect snow warnings and advisories are posted out here. with the same storm system, we could actually see little bit of snow across parts of the

mid-atlantic and the northeast. martha, there was concerned this would be a big storm system for the northeast come wednesday, but the latest computer model run points to a larger area. maybe an inch or two across northeast, much better than we were originally anticipating over the weekend with those computer model runs. martha: good, we are done. >> a federal communications commission may now be backing away from the plans to try and have an examination of newsrooms across the country. fcc commissioner appears critical that controversial proposal, the government has no place in our country's newsroo newsrooms. >> this a big victory for the first amendment. announcing they are not going to send researchers hired by the government into newsrooms across the country.

>> former republican fcc commissioner joins us now. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> critics say the whole game was deposed clinical correctness on newsrooms across the country. why would they want to do this? >> this comes up every few years, this type of thing about the sec or the government directly or indirectly trying to influence speech through the hope the fcc has over radio tv broadcasters and their licenses getting renewed every eight years. so as he pointed out in the "wall street journal" op-ed this past week, they can put broadcasters out of business. it is important to remain vigilant. i'm delighted you starting to walk this back content to remain vigilant because there are other ways the sec or other agencies

can try to make this happen. >> making sure they are properly served what do you buy that? >> the best way to find out what is being broadcast is to turn on the radio or the tv instead of sending contractors and agents of the government into newsrooms questioning reporters, questioning producers about why do they run a certain story, why did they kill a certain story. they don't like to be criticized, they want to be seen in the most favorable light through the news media. it has been used by jfk and richard nixon to try to punish those outlets they think are not shown them in a favorable light so we always need to be vigilant here. >> do you think barack obama is doing the same? >> they have stopped short of that, obviously.

it was after it came to attention when "the daily caller" broke this story, members of congress sent a letter in december to the fcc and it really became an issue wheinthe commissioner randy op-. >> why is that any of their business with the freedom of press in this country to try and do something like this? >> what they would argue is to say it is a public interest standard the fcc chartered to carry out, whatever that means that broadcasters have to serve the communities in the public interest. some run with us to say the government should be controlling speech because we know what speech is best for the communities. they will have some sway over it.that is contrary to the first amendment. i don't think it would stand up to the supreme court, so i'm delighted to see them walking back on this.

>> that has been efforts to get rid of that. >> the fairness doctrine was being enforced as of and 87, actually i brought to the attention it was still on the books for the last chairman and i worked together to remove all the language regarding the fairness doctrine. but it can come back in indirect ways. it can be called something else. it can start incrementally with investigators going into newsrooms, that is how these things have happened. i would hope journalists have been outraged by this idea. >> it is not over yet. do you think there still is a danger to our liberty, our freedom, our thought process of free expression that founding fathers created this nation for?

>> this great power over broadcasting, anybody related to broadcast license directly or indirectly a speed vigilant because the fcc has greater sway over the freedom of speech and the first minute rights of our country. >> member may not be what the founding fathers had intended. thank you so much for joining us. martha: so the happiest states in america, new study reveals the healthiest, happiest places to live and why they are good for your well-being. >> president george w. bush for america's veterans and the veterans are responding. we will talk one-on-one on who is answered the call to serve in a brand-new way by putting

veterans back to work. >> of a society that is incredibly comfortable and too many people saying wall with me. at the veteran community. they say what can i do to continue to serve.

♪ >> take a look at that list behind me. do you live there? that must mean you must be pretty happy because in this list north dakota is living up to its name as the peace garden state, it ranks first among the happiest states in our country. the unhappiest states, there they are. ohio. alabama, mississippi, kentucky,

they be happier now. martha: new jersey is somewhere in the middle. i do notice they are all very low populated states. maybe people like to have a little elbow room. >> new jersey, number 23. new york number 35. we are happy, we try to be happy. martha: he says he wants to take the word "disorder" out of ptsd. george w. bush make it his cause to get the men and women he sent off to war back on their feet. now that they are back home, many of them, and to be reintegrated into society in a positive way. in an interview he did with abc, the former commander-in-chief got emotional when he talked about what he calls now his duty. >> my spirit is always uplifted when i visit with them.

there is no self-pity. too many people saying wall wits me. not our veteran community. they don't say woe is me. they say what kind do to continue to serve? >martha: sitting at his side was jake would, former marine squad leader in iraq, he was a sniper in afghanistan and a middle of valor winner as well. when he came back he helped to found a group that has made of that and doctors who put their forces and skills together to respond to disasters at home and around the world. we are very honored and pleased to have him with us. let's start by looking back at the interview you did with the former president. what was your reaction to his commitment to the troops? >> i think his commitment is genuine.

we went to work together, as commander-in-chief ordering us to war, served in many ways right alongside us, certainly believe with all the catch with his have taken over the last 13 years, that weighs heavily on him and a burden he has to carry. the concern to help bring us home and have a better transition i think is very genuine. martha: talk a lot about posttraumatic stress disorder. he says he doesn't want it to be referred to as a disorder, he thinks that label is a disservice to the people who suffered from it. >> i think that is an important point to make. the president wants america to think of it as an injury, and in many ways it is. ptsd, pts is no different than any average citizen in this country or anywhere around the world that faces some sort of traumatic experience. sexual violence or car accident.

tolerating-year-old woman in college that she has a disorder, that is as wrong as telling a soldier coming back from iraq or afghanistan the same thing. martha: that is a great point. how do you think the veterans of the two wars you fought in, how do you think they are doing now that it is commo coming to a cln afghanistan? >> i think by and large, we are doing very well. there are some challenges many face coming home but if you look at the broad spectrum across this whole spectrum, the vast majority of them are not heroes on one end, nor are they suffering massively on the other. a vast majority are in the middle of this spectrum doing very well, getting educations, getting jobs, contributing to society, getting back to communities. there are some challenges and some veterans who do need some help and it is our duty as a nation to help provide the help for them so they can come back and contribute every bit as the

greatest generation did after world war ii. >> you could have left this part of your life behind you and moved onto other things things, but you didn't do that. you have helped to gather veterans to help respond to disasters around the world as they are so uniquely trained to do. why did you decide to do that, jake? >> started by accident. the haiti earthquake happened three months after i was out of the marine corps. not wanting to standby, we went down there in support three and half, four days after the earthquake. from there we had no intention of starting an organization but it was obvious there was this need for skilled people, people who had experience. veterans fit that bill. what was profound is over the course of the first year we saw how important it was to have an opportunity to serve.

we were consistently having veterans tell us after going these disaster zones it was the most meaningful experience they have had since coming home and taking off the uniform. something we continue to do and we have built it into an organization. >> it is troy about cuts in funding to military. other areas of the budget are not seen the kind of cuts the military is seeing. what do you think about that? >> i think the budget is a really tricky issue. i certainly think there is some bloat in the defense department budget and we should be kind to send of how we cut cost when we cut defense spending. honestly i think there probably are some cuts that can happen across the board as we look at a lot of different agencies. the defense department shouldn't be immune to that.

again, i don't drive the policy, i run nonprofit. martha: thank you for taking a crack at it because we love to get your thoughts on it. thank you for your continuing service to those in need in rescue and disaster zones. great to meet you. >> jon scott has a look at what is coming up on "happening now." >> he's expected to detail some of the executive orders that have been so controversial. also to discuss the health care overhaul, analysis and reaction to what he has to say ahead. and news on benghazi national security adviso advisor susan re makes another controversial appearance on tv, plus a couple of disturbing outbreaks in california to tell you about, what they might mean and have to do with the anti-vaccination movement ahead in about 12

minutes, "happening now." >> just ahead, dangerous conditions as floodwaters rise in the neighborhood. we will show you where just ahead. now new demands for peace in venezuela. and who is calling for an end to those deadly antigovernment protests, massive protest as you can see. we will have a live report coming up. with my friends, we'll do almost anything. out for drinks, eats. i have very well fitting dentures. i like to eat a lot of fruits. love them all. the seal i get with the super poligrip free keeps the seeds from getting up underneath. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free.

with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. a lot of things going on in my life and the last thing i want to be thinking about is my dentures. [ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip. iespecially when it's miralax.e really can love their laxative. it hydrates, eases, and softens, to unblock your system naturally. so you have peace of mind from start to finish. love your laxative. miralax.

[ female announcer ] watch live tv anywhere. the x1 entertainment operating system, only from xfinity. martha: an amazing site in northern ohio. melting snow and rising waters resulted in massive ice jams causing rivers to overflow, flooding over the weekend caused some people out of their homes. many had to be taken out by a boat. nobody was hurt thankfully. we will see this all over the

country is all of this stuff starts to melt. >> there are now calls to end the deadly violence in venezuela. protest leader urging supporters to continue to speak out against the president. so far at least 10 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in a violent clashes between protesters and government forces. the very latest in miami. how have these protest changed since they originally started? >> over the weekend we saw what had been the biggest street protest in venezuela in the past 10 years. they began three weeks ago. we have seen them grow exponentially. originally people were angry over food shortages, inflation rates of more than 50%, but as the government has cracked down using rubber bullets, killing demonstrators, more and more people have come out into the

streets and the goal of many protesters now is to drive the president fromffice. >> i am fighting for venezuela. my mother doesn't know i am here because the risk. venezuela needs a better president. >> venezuela's president in office for less than a year has tried to dismiss the protesters as fascists were spoiled rich kids backed by the u.s. claiming u.s. officials is absurd. >> in support of the military still strongly backing him? >> that is right, they are. keep in mind to go chavez was in power for 14 years, so many of the higher military officials are loyal to his successor, but we did see a flashpoint over the weekend when i retired army officer who has been a critic of his government security forces came and tried to arrest him. he alerted followers on twitter

whose fronts his house and they pushed back the security officers a very tense standoff and no arrest was ever made. >> they seem to be fighting for freedom and democracy. martha: so we are awaiting chuck hagel's news conference on what i stated to be some deep cuts. no big changes, changes america could see to its armed forces. we talked about this earlier with jack keenan with this means the nation's ability to respond to trouble around the world.

>> we will be following the proposed military cuts. at one o'clock there is a news conference. we will be back at one p.m. today. >> we will see later this afternoon. "happening now" is starting right now. >> today's top headlines and

brand new stories >> changes for the military and what the cuts will be look and why we have not seen anything like it since world war ii. and the most-wanted drug lord has been captured and the battle over where he is going to fight justice. and the a murder warrant shutdown for -- issued for the former ukraine president. new plans to cut the military to levels not seen in more than half a century. i am john scott. >> and i am jenna lee. we are waiting for a briefing from defense secretary chuck hagel in two hours where he is going to a announce cuts of slashing the army since before the world
