this week's show and thank you to my panel. i'm paul gigot and we hope to see you here next week. new tensions between new york city mayor bill de blasio and his police form. welcome to "america's news headquarters." i'm arthel neville. once again officers turned their back to bill de blasio at the wake of wenjian liu. he was one of two officers killed in cold blood last month in brooklyn. funeral arrangements were delayed so family members could

travel from china to new york. bryan now is reporting live from brooklyn. bryan? >> reporter: today they honored 32-year-old officer wenjian liu. bill de blasio eulogize him along with his family. he was a man who loved fishing and dreamt to be a part of the nypd. a chinese immigrant and only child who loved his parents calling them at the end of every shift to let them know he was safe. today liu's casket draped with an nypd flag. his wife who just married three months ago overcome with grief for the man she called fearless and her soulmate. >> he was a loving husband and a loyal friend. you were an amazing man.

even though you left us early. but i believe he is still with us. >> reporter: just heartbreaking. thousands of nypd officers and officers as far as toronto canada lined the streets outside for the procession. meanwhile, a group of current and veteran nypd officers turned their back while mayor de blasio gave his speech despite bill bratton asking them not to. one officer said it's the right thing to do. >> i think that's what he deserves. he doesn't treat the nypd accordingly and deserved this and brought this upon himself. we have a right to do what we wish, just like the protesters do. if i want to turn my back on him, i will. that's what i hear as an american and that's the way i will be. always turn my back on him. >> reporter: officer liu is being buried in the same place

as his partner, ramos. gop lawmakers and the president are set to square off on a number of key issues from obamacare to speeding up the construction of the keystone xl pipeline. peter doocy is live in washington. is there much bipartisan support for keystone right now? >> there is arthel. bipartisans think this is a job creator, and some democrats think the other way, build the pipeline or don't build the pipeline. one says that needs to be president obama. >> the president needs to make a decision. a lot of us are frustrated it has taken this long. >> how are you going to vote on that? >> i have always voted to allow the process to continue -- >> that means in favor? >> to allow the president to make a decision, but i'm very

frustrated with it. >> the new congress also plans to pick apart obamacare. obviously not a new policy but this is republican congress's first crack at it with the largest majority in the house since the great depression. and there's great emphasis on redefining full-time work in the eyes of the epa. right now 30 hours a week is full-time but the gop wants 40 hours a week believing that will benefit small businesses as the employer mandate kicks in. >> peter let's talk about speaker boehner and talk to me about the kind of resistance the speaker is facing for members of his own party. >> there are now two republican congressmen. ted yoho and louis gohmert who are going to run. >> you deceived us to try to get your votes for the cromnibus.

you said you would fight amnesty tooth and nail but you didn't. it was a terrible strategy that follows a number of years of broken promises. >> so far the speaker isn't sweating this too much. a spokesman for boehner says he expects to be elected by the full house on tuesday to the job he has held since 2011. >> big week ahead peter. peter doocy, thank you. stormy weather and choppy water are keeping divers from reaching the large objects at the bottom of the java sea believed to be pieces of airasia flight 8501. indonesian officials are saying weather was, quote, the triggering factor in the crash with icing likely causing engine damage. meantime, here are new photos of u.s. divers helping with the recovery effort. the remains of 34 of the 162 victims have been recovered. of course, there is unspeakable

grief. family members mourning at a service seen here in surabaya, the indonesian city where flight 8501 departed last weekend. and federal investigators arriving at the scene of that tragic plane crash in kentucky today in which a 7-year-old girl was the sole survivor. the ntsb will be looking at what happened. so far the faa reported engine trouble and just minutes lost contact with air traffic control. this as we get new information about the little girl who walked away from the crash. family members say she was able to find her way to safety because of survival skills she learned from her dad. will karr is live with the latest. will? >> reporter: authorities say it's a miracle this 7-year-old girl walked away with only a broken arm after her family's plane crashed in southwest kentucky saturday night. for the first time we have

pictures of the crash site. saylor's father said they were having engine problems and they lost contact with him a short time later. that's when something went terribly wrong. >> what she knew then was that the plane was upside down, her family on board was unresponsive. she utilized her non-injured arm and hand to free herself from the aircraft. >> reporter: authorities say that saylor got out of the plane with a small fire burning caused from the crash. she negated through rough terrain for almost a mile in freezing rain in shorts and a t-shirt and ended up outside larry wilkins' home. >> she knew her parents were dead. i asked how she knew that and she said, i tried to wake them up and couldn't wake them up.

>> marty and kimberly gutzler died in the crash along with her 9-year-old sister and 14-year-old cousin. everyone was still strapped in their seats and appeared to be bracing for impact except for the father. it's unclear if he had his seat belt on or not. saylor was taken to the hospital where a family member shown up to take her home. ntsb investigators say they will issue an initial report in the next ten days, at the same time a family spokesman asked for prayers for the entire family, especially for saylor moving forward. >> prayers for all from us here for sure. with both houses of congress under the control of one party we could see less gridlock on capitol hill. so what is in store for politics in the year ahead? a look at the policy lawmakers' goals in to 15.2015. but first, many are mourning

the loss of espn's stuart scott. he was an anchor for 21 years. and as he fought the deadly disease of cancer last year, he said, quote when you die it doesn't mean you lose to cancer. you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live. earlier president obama released a statement about scott saying, quote, i will miss stuart scott. over the years he entertained us, and in the end he inspired us with courage and love. he leaves behind two stuart scott was 49 years old. he will be missed. t o get richard to his campbell's chunky soup. it's new chunky beer-n-cheese with beef and bacon soup. i love it. and mama loves you. ♪ ♪

for the first time since 2006, and according to our next guest the conversation may eventually be turning away from the economy. let's bring in rebecca berg political correspondent. >> hi arthel. thank you for having me. >> what do you think will be the top five political stories for 2005 hello move forward ten years, 2015. hello! leave me alone. all right. let me reveal a couple of them and then get your reply. all right, number one you're saying the republican horse race for president and your second story is the success or failure of congressional republicans. tell me about those and then we'll get to the next few. >> well, of course arthel, 2014 was a great year for republicans. one of the biggest stories of last year. republicans whipping the midterm elections and taking control of congress for the first time since 2006.

but 2015 is still going to be a very challenging year for republicans. and they still have some things left to prove to the american people. so not only in congress where, as i mentioned in my list, they are going to have to prove they are going to govern as opposed to just grandstanding or taking ideological stands. they must actually produce tangible evidence of progress for the american people. but on the campaign trail as well, you'll have republican candidates coming out and announcing bids for president in 2015. as many as 20 republicans right now are interested in running for president. if only half of those republicans actually end up running, it's still going to be a crazy primary. and we're going to have to see if it gets as wild and out of control as last time or if republicans are able to reign that in a bit. >> number three is president obama's next move and four is

the republican mantra will be "is the economy stupid. >> last year the president took a number of executive actions but as he did this was able to circumvent congress. but this is a republican-controlled congress. they have anned a adversarial relationship. one of the big questions for this year is what are we going to be talking about? because republicans, for example, have for years been talking about the economy and jobs in congress. speaker boehner, one of his favorite taglines is where are the jobs? but now the economy is improving and unemployment is down. so what are we going to be talking about in 2015?

immigration? foreign policy? national security? how are we going to convince the american people that they have the best policies on these? >> and the last one -- >> of course -- >> can anyone beat hillary clinton? >> that's a question we are not only going to be asking in 2015 but also in 2016 assuming she's the strongest candidate going into the democratic primary for president. but this is a brilliant two-part question. the question of first l any democrat stand up to challenge hillary clinton in their democratic primary in 2015? we have seen a couple hinting they will actually launch a campaign but the question remains, how serious are any of the candidates? can they pose a real threat to hillary clinton? then on the republican side, we'll have to see if any republicans are up to the challenge. so far polling shows a few republicans have a chance, but there's still a long way to go. >> well, for sure it will all be

interesting to watch. rebecca berg happy new year to year. raising taxes at the pump, why the new gop leadership is open to the idea and how it can cost you when you fill up. plus a story of hope in the new year as a vietnam veteran is reunited with his closest friends. >> she pushed the front window screen, it has bars on the window as you can see and i never thought she could get through it but she did go through it.

a major search and rescue mission off the coast of scotland. divers looking for the crew of an overturned cargo ship. eight people are reported missing.

the boat was carrying cement to a port near liverpool. officials say they did not receive a distress signal. they also say there was bad weather in the area and that storm-force winds continue to make things difficult there. and the new gop congressional leadership not ruling out raising the gas tax in order to keep the highway trust fund afloat. senator john thune, the incoming chair of the commerce, science, and transportation committing telling "fox news sunday," he does not favor raising any tax but -- >> we have to look at all the options. we obviously have a big delta we have to meet. the highway bill expires at the end of may. and there's about $100 billion shortfall over what it would take to fund the highway trust fund at the current level of operations. >> well, the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. the diesel tax is 24.4 cents per gallon. let's bring in bren that buttner now, our fox news senior

business correspondent and the anchor of "bulls and bears." so hi, brenda. happy new year to you. >> to you as well. >> tell us what this tax is what it does, how it all works. break it down. >> well, the federal gas tax is as you said, 18.4 cents. that's across the country. it hasn't been raised since 1993. so a lot of people are saying, well, it's time to raise it because gas prices have come down so far. this is very important that that senator is giving some wiggle room to an increase in the gas tax because essentially the republicans are against any tax increases. so that means it may be very likely that your gas prices are going to go up. >> so regardless of all this fuel that's out there we've got and these great low prices at the pump too bad for us. >> it's very controversial. look, if the federal highway trust fund runs out of money in

may, and what congress has been doing is using trickery, going into the general trust fund to fund this and essentially it's supposed to be used for our crumbling roads and bridges. it's not at all clear that that's where it goes. but unless there is a multiyear, long-term funding solution to this deficit of the highway trust fund, the pressure is going to be on states and local governments to raise the gas tax, and that's what they've been doing. i mean there are legions of states right now that are raising it this year. that's more money out of your pocket. >> well, that's a lot of pressure. first of all, you have the consumers who are going to cry foul if the prices go up. you're going to have the states crying foul if they're forced to bear the brunt. and then you have the republicans who don't want to impose any new taxes, but yet they might have to. >> right. and president obama doesn't really favor this either. the reason is it's incredibly

unpopular. finally we're getting a break at the pump. and to raise that could -- it literally takes money out of consumers' pockets. this year the average american household is supposed to save $550. that's a lot. >> that's a lot of money, yeah. >> because of the lower gas prices. and that money goes into buying more and driving the economy. so that is -- that's a real problem. >> if it happens, when? >> well, may is when this goes bankrupt. right now states are raising it already. >> all right. well, we'll keep an eye on that. let's talk about 2014. it was a great year. 401(k)s, iras. >> s&p 500, which is probably part of your retirement plan really had a great year. six straight years of gains. there's a lot going on in 2015. great corporate profits, our economy is running a lot faster than usual and we're hiring more. so those are all good things. but the world economy is going

down. and that is placing some pressure on stockingss pressure on stockingsstocks. plus, the problem s when investors get euphoric that's usually when bulls stop running. >> uh-huh. and they have to be careful not to get too aggressive. they have to proceed with caution, right? >> absolutely. >> all right. well, thank you, brenda buttner. >> thank you. >> stick around, because i want to tell people about your show and this other story. you can catch brenda on "bulls and bears" every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. okay. so the new year getting off to a great start for a vietnam veteran. renee rodriguez finally getting to see his service dog again. the 16-month-old dog bambi seen here escaped through an open window. this happened last saturday. so they spent days looking for the dog and even offered a reward. but yesterday, thanks to three good samaritans, the vet and his pooch were finally together again.

and rodriguez, by the way, says that he is just happy to be back with his loyal companion because -- i don't know if you have doggies, but -- >> oh, yes, i do. i have two. that is so sweet. >> you just worry. >> yeah, they're like children. absolutely. sometimes nicer than children. >> well, i don't have real children. you do. i'm not going to comment on that. i love my doggies for sure though. always good to see you. see you again next sunday. >> absolutely. >> well that's going to do it for me. stick around.
