this hour. new york cityarch bill de blasio and police commissioner set to make some kind of public announcement. you can see reporters pulling into the room now,lej$o gettin set. just yesterday, police officers again turned their backs on the mayor at the funeral for one of the two police officers executed in their patrol car a couple of weeks ago. thousands of police men and women lined the streets of brooklyn yesterday to pay their respects to wenjiian liu. you may recall seeing the video of police previously turning their backs on the mayor during the funeral for officer ramos. because of that the commissioner sent out a memo asking officers not to do that again. the commissioner wrote, quote hero's funeral is about grieving not grievanc1ñ end quote. police union leaders accuse the mayor of contributing to antipolice feelings by supporting protesters after grand juries decided not charge officers who killed two black

men. we're monitoring this. what you see here, and when it makes news we'll bring it right to you. now let's go to boston where the accused boston marathon bomber is in federal court today, and jury selection is now underway, and despite his attorney's attempts to move the trial, it's taking place just a new miles from where prosecutors say the suspect and his late brother set off pair of bombs which killed three people and injured more than 260 others. it was a hellish day. about 1200 people are part of the pool of potential jurors now. the trial expected to last a few months. joe car tsarnaev pleaded not guilty to 30 third charges and could face the death penafs qóómb5ó' t%ber)b

the manhunt continued. feels like it was just yesterday. officials locked down boston and surrounded towns and shut down mass transit. they warned people to stay in their homes. that night investigators traced the suspect to a backyard where the found him hiding in a boat and took him into custody. remember that? tsarnaev's attorneys asked to delay the trial now and move it outside boston. they said it's impossible to get a fair trial there because virtually everybody in the city is, quote, a victim. the judge last week denied their request, setting the stage for what we have right now today. we're live outside the courthouse. i understand they just brought in more potential jurors for the afternoon session. >> reporter: absolutely, and the process for selecting the jury has been ongoing. there was a morning session and afternoon session. the judge offering his

instructions, the jurors filling out questionnaires, and that is how this will go for two more days wednesday afternoon dzhokar tsarnaev is seated with his attorneys in front of the pool of jurors when they're brought in. 12 jurors in all six alternates selected from the large group of people. the 1200. judge gave the first group of potential juror instructions shortly after 9:00. similar instructions given later in the afternoon saying, you don't need a special education to serve on a jury. you've need a commitment to justice. today two grouped of jurors speaking with -- listening to the judge's instructions, and being asked to fill us the questionnaires, the lawyers on each side throughout the week will have a chance to look at these questionnaires as the proceedings go forward throughout the month. harris? >> i understand there's a lot of scrutiny and there would be in a case like this on the potential jurors. >> reporter: absolutely. you talked about the concerns of the defense.

one other thing that will be looked at closely is the fact this is a death penalty case. the judge making it clear this is different from other criminal cases because during the penalty phase, instead of the penalty being decided by the judge if in fact tsarnaev is convicted on the most serious charges the jury will decide whether or not he receives the death penalty. the death penalty is banned under massachusetts law but this is a federal case, and these are federal charges. the parties defense and prosecutors, will be looking over the questionnaires in the days to come. more than a thousand -- think about the work this spills and things will be whittled down later next week or the week after, we'll be seeing the jurors come that's when the court will have a chance to ask followup questions and the jury will be empanelled. we're expecting the opening statements to actually begin on january 26th. >> thank you very much. and she is just set us up now. let's bring in doug laws burns, former federal prosecutor. doug, always good to have you along. >> thank you. >> help me make sense of who

they want on the jury who they don't want. >> the prosecutors obviously wantot you would cart gorize stern, law and order types, but this case is easier for the prosecutor. a horrific case analogous to mcveigh case. the endment against theft is unbelievable. what the defense wants to do -- you might find this interesting because have this all the time in my own practice when we pick jury -- assume they're really not setting their sights on convincing 12 people he is not guilty. they're not trying to try to convince 12 people she shouldn't get the death penalty. they want to have as much diversity as possible, and i don't mean ethnicity. i'm talking another outlooks jobs -- >> why? >> that's your best odds of getting one person ostensibly to be the outlier hung jury person. >> just need one.

>> yes. >> it mite not be about getting an acquittal. >> i spoke to one expert this morning, lawyer who has been in a lot of federal death penalty indications, and he said in almost every federal death penalty case it's about the death penalty not guilt or innocence. i was surprised he said that. the said because doj has vetted death penalty cases to such a degree that the defense almost always is facing an uphill battle. i imagine in this case. from an evidence point of view admissions to law enforcement, surveillance videos, people who saw his face, four accomplices arrested and convicted for removing evidence. very, very strong case. we don't prejudge it but very strong. >> you heard with molly's reporting my question to her is, the judge in this case decide not to move it out of boston because tech nick chit was argued everybody is a victim in boston. but wouldn't that be all over america? >> right. >> terrorism on u.s. soil. >> people get confused. number one we're standing here

right now. national media. so don't tell me oh, it's just boston. >> is that why they didn't move it. >> part of it. the other point is people say wait a minute, how are you going to find people who haven't seen read or heard about this that's not the test. the test is, can you put it aside and be fair and impartial. >> let's flip the switch and just talk about what evidence is out there and -- it's so hard to believe because of all the evidence you just laid out there could be a case for him, but odd things have happened in the court system. >> that's brilliant. i was with a lawyer one time in the southern district, we were having breakfast about our case. i asked him about his case. devastating, he got an acquittal. so i'm not drawing an analogy but lit gigs is ununpredictible. one lawyer is very reputable the other a death penalty expert. they'll try a good case make the correct objections and legal

arguments and try a good sound case. >> you have the writings police say were inside the boat. >> absolutely. extremely compelling and not to be a broken record i think that lot of the trial itself is going to be with an eye towards that death penalty point lurking. it's a bifurcated proceeding, a second trial or hearing on the death penalty, but going to try to show the following: youth, cooperation in toupees -- terms of his brother. >> we have this breaking news situation that is pending because we know the police commissioner in the new york city and the mayor are going to make some kind of public announcement. you are going to stand by with us because you have relations with the police. >> the u.s. ski team confirmed reports that an avalanche killed two americans training training with the team overseas in the austrian

alps where the team is preparing for world cup and the two skiers were among six who left a prepared slope and may have triggered the avalanche. there were warnings in the area, all the other skiers, the other four were able to escape, u.s. ski team official says the team is in shock. i can only imagine of. >> breaking news now. a judge has just ruled on whether the man accused of ambushing state trooper and sparking a manhunt should stand trial. we're live at the courthouse with that decision coming up next. we're keeping an eye again on what is happening in new york city. mayor bill de blasio and you know he has a very negative reputation and relationship with the police department. he is set to be with the police commissioner and make some kind of public announcement at any moment. we're here to cover it when the news breaks. stay close.

breaking news on the fox news channel. a pennsylvania judge has now determined there is enough evidence to send eric frein to trial for shooting two state troopers last fall. during today's court hearing we learn how frein keeped with investigators at the end of the six-week manhunt help was in the woods for quite some time. a u.s. marshall said frein volunteered to tell them where he stashed his guns for fear, he said, child might find them.

you remember that massive manhunt which began in september after he was accused of ambushing two state troopers. he killed one and seriously injured the other. police captured him 48 days later on the day before halloween in an abandoned airplane hangar. the last time we saw him he had cuts and scrapes on this face but he cleaned up for the court hearing, and a judge determined there is enough evidence to send this case to trial. prosecutors say the charges warrant the death penalty. rick leventhal is streaming live. you got close to eric frein today. >> i did. he looks very different than he did in his wanted poster or mug shot. he is clean-shaven, has a fresh short haircut, wearing eye glasses, very skinny, and also wearing a blue prison jump suit and shackles and handcuffs on his ankles and wrists.

prognosis troopers are among the ten witnesses called today who described evidence collected at a camp site and the abandoned hangar where frein was using as a hideout. one of the witnesses was u.s.a. marshall oh caught frein. he said frein was cooperative and asked the marshals if he could tell them where his guns were hidden so kids couldn't find them. he said he got the cuts and browses on his face when he was laying down on the runway and when they rolled him over his face was marked up. >> there was disturbing evidence shown in court today. >> reporter: really tough moments in the courtroom when they showed surveillance video captured at the barracks at the moments when the two troopers were shot. one shot outside the barracks and the other shot on his way in the door. video captured the moments and the mother and widow of corporal brian dixon were in the

courtroom when they video played. there will some gasps in the courtroom as the disturbing moments played out with trooper douglas coming in the door, crawling on the ground because he lost use of his legs. another trooper read from some hand written notes they found in plastic bag at a campsite. the notes talked about what it felt like to shoot the troopers and shot photoses over evidence including pipe bombs and a couple rifles with fully loaded magazines and read from a letter, goodbye letter found in a computer hard drive, thumb drive, that frein is believed to have wherein to his parents goodbye letter to his mother and father, saying he hoped to start a revolution and that if he was caught and killed-wanted to be buried in a pipe box. this will be a death penalty case, we do not yet have a trial date. >> thank you very much. we appreciate the update. police say they have found the body of a three week old

baby inside the dumpster of a strip mall 100 miles from where she went missing over the weekend. on saturday, somebody shot the child's mother father, and uncle at their home in long beach in southern california. then snatched the infant. yesterday investigators discovered her body south of san diego inside that dumpster. officials say the baby's mom, uncle, still in the hospital in critical condition but stable. the doctors treated the dad and he is out. police are looking for a suspect but have not said if the man is related to the baby. a seven-year-old girl walked through the woods find help after surviving a plane crash that killed her family. now that child could become a key part of the investigation to figure out what happened. that is coming up. we are watching the big fall on wall street. stocks tanking today. what is behind the slide'? what it means for your money and coming up right now the situation here in new york city

mayor billbill -- bill deblasio and police commissioner bill bratton stepping to the microphone for an announcement. watch and listen. >> good afternoon everyone. 2013, we had a debate in this city about the direction we need to go in. i believe that so many new yorkers believe the time that what we had to do was build a different kind of approach, build a different kind of connection between our police and our communities. so that was the way forward. that was the right path, the fair path, the safe path for everybody involved. well we're about to go over with you the results of a full year, the year 2014, and you will see the facts, see the numbers, that make clear that it was possible all along to create a safer city and a fairer city. it was possible to create the

kind of cooperation that would reduce crime even when compared to the record previous year that we saw before we came into office, 2014 proves to be the most extraordinary year of all. i've said to some of you, i'd like to repeat it, when i was preparing to take office, a lot of people in this department, a lot of people who watched these issues closely, said to me, with a certain reverence, it would be nearly impossible to repeat the achievements of 2013 ask this nypd had done such an extraordinary job probably as good as it gets but you're about to hear from the leaders of this department, about to see the charts and the facts that make clear that 2014 was a year of even greater achievement, record-setting year, an extraordinary year in this department. did things unimaginable in terms

of bringing down crime, and did it with ever fairer approaches. so much credit goes to commissioner bratton. i was certain when i chose him as our commissioner he would lead to us places we had never been before. better places, and he has fulfilled that promise so clearly. his leadership -- the leadership team he assembled around him and most importantly the men and women of the nypd, have done an absolutely extraordinary job and these numbers speak to it. overall, major crime down 4.6%. 2014 compared to 2013. overall crime down 4.6%. the lowest number of homocides since the modern policing era began in 1993, since what we call the -- the lowest number of homocides we have ever seen.

2600 fewer robberies than the year before. this number -- there's so many powerful numbers you'll see today, but think about the everyday lives of our people 2600 new yorkers did not experience robbery compared to what we had seen the year before. that's an extraordinary impact on people's lives, also setting a record. and in our subways outstanding nose and our subway system major crime down 15%. 15%. in 2014 compared to 2013. only two homocides in our entire subway system for the entire year of 2014. for those of white house have lived in the city these are numbers that were once absolutely unimaginable, and this is the time to appreciate what all the people around me have achieved, and i want to thank them. so many gathered here today.

our first deputy commissioner, ben tucker chief of department, jimmy o'neill, chief of patrol carlos gomez, our deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, john miller, our deputy commissioner for operations, determine mott shea, or chief of el bens tom, chief of detectives -- chief of housing, james this leadership team is one for the ages. commissioner, i want to congratulate you for a really having brought together the best and the brightest. now, again this is not just about numbers. numbers are so important but every number indicates a human life or a family, and every number that we show that's made progress means a family or an individual who didn't go through the pain of a crime. this has been progress that has had a deep impact on our neighborhoods all across the five bury -- boroughs.

in our public housing, statement ton houses in staten island last year crime was down over 40%. 40%. compared to the year before. and that 'twas due in part to the over $200 million investment we made in the housing authority with a focus on security measures, like additional lighting, that made residents' lives better and also made the work of our police better safer, and the human impact in these situations goes beyond just being free from crime. it improves people's lives, their sense of well-being, sense of freedom, people, in so many of hour public housing develops, have been able to feel their lives getting a little better able to be outside a little more. have a sense their kids would be safer because of these actions because of the work of the men and women of the nypd.

now, we know this is very difficult work. i've spent the last year all over this city police precincts and talking to officers who did extraordinary things, giving accolades to those who were such positive examples of the work this department does. talking to everyday new yorkers what it means to them. people in the city appreciate our police. they appreciate how hard the work is and see the progress we're making. yesterday, tens of thousands paid their respects to detective liu and his family, and so many people who couldn't be at the funeral, talked to me and so many members of my administration, about their feeling for those families their willingness to do offering they could to help the families because the understand what a profound sacrifice was made on

behalf of the people of the city. people feel a lot for detective liu's family, feel a lot for detective ramos' family and that is a commitment. we will keep for the long term for those families. this department has a proud history of standing by the families of all those we lose, and the people of the city feel the same way. they feel a deep commitment to the men and women who do this work and their families. 35,000 people protect us. and as you're going to see in a moment, they do it very very well. these two brave men we lost, they contributed to this outstanding progress from last year. they didn't get to see the end of the year. they were part of that success. they dreamed of doing this work their whole lives. you know their stories. they wanted to wear that uniform. wanted to serve others. they wanted to work for just the kind of success we're able to

tell you about today. and if you know something about detective ramos and detective liu, you know they believed in building bridges between the police and communities. both were extraordinarily devoted to the communities they came from devoted to their families neighborhoods. they wanted that closeness to deepen, and that's what we're dedicated to. and all this based on the notion that when you bring police and community closer together, it is not only an act of fairness it's an act of safety for all, and you can see it in the numbers that will be laid out today, because as we have driven down crime, we have seen substantial decreases in the stop and frisk approach, and substantial decreases in low-level marijuana arrests. so, a lot of changes happening -- >> so we have been watching this news conference obviously, with mayor bill de blasio, new york

city mayor, and he has a -- the word tenuous doesn't seem to do it -- investigate negative relationship with the police department. and police commissioner bill bratton is with him. i'm rejoined by former federal prosecutor doug burns. he promised to stay with me you. have relationshipped with the police department. you were a federal prosecutor in the state. what was this today and you use the word fred astaire. >> not surprisingly you can have a positive reaction to this or negative one. so, let's break it down like a lawyer. positive is the chief executive of the new york city is recognizing that he must have a positive view of his own police department of 35,000 members. the negative part is the fred astaire. wait a minute, i thought this was the person who has an issue of perceived negativity towards his police department, so why is he not really addressing that and simply coming out and saying, here are a bun of statistics, here's how everything has been wonderful and great and positive and he is praising his police

department, which is fine, but you can't night isolation without the issue that you just raised. >> you say he is tap dancing like fred astaire, basically he eulogized the two officers, liu and ramos. this is really interesting we were told a public announcement today, and you said -- this is not happening in a vacuum. the breaking news that has been developing now for two weeks, if you will this fallout behind the executions of these two officers in their patrol car in brooklyn. >> any person watching this, even if they recognize that a politician is going to use specific formulations, they're still expecting him to say, look, this tragedy many people have expressed the opinion -- i'm pretending i'm the mayor -- that there's tensions and problems between me and me police. let me explain why that's not the case, something like that. >> behind the scenes what brought this on? >> the issue you framed brought it on. he has to get to the -- >> took him awe side -- >> commissioner bratton -- >> you have the relationship

here. >> he is the one who has to kind of run interference for him and he has a shot at repairing this, but it's not the best odd necessarily. >> i heard you say that. doug burns, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> that was interesting. a real big buildup. lots of p.r. the dow, dropping triple digits. oil prices hit the lowest level in years good for you at the pump. but what does that mean for wall street? gerri willis is watching the dow fall. we'll bring her in. also, congress is getting back to work this week. republicans are running both the house and senate. we'll use at the i issues they plan to take on and they say it's time for the president to play ball. these ally bank ira cds really do sound like a sure thing but i'm a bit skeptical of sure things. why's that? look what daddy's got... ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! growth you can count on from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

and found somebody to call for help. now investigator says she might be able to help them figure out what wet wrong. it happened friday night. the child's father was supplying a small plane from florida to im. he reported engine problems over kentucky and crashed in the western bart of the state. four people died including the child's father, mother and sister. the girl, name sailor broke her wrist in the crash but was still able to walk, hike, through the deep woods to get help. >> through some really tough terrain, awfully poor weather conditions tonight. and survived this. it's just really a miracle. >> investigators with the national transportation safety board say it is rare that anybody survives a plane crash like that. we now have a former investigator with the ntsb. no matter where you are you have too say a prayer for that little

girl. she has been through hell and walked away. tell me about the crash scene would have looked like. >> with the airplane upside-down, just getting out had to be quite a chore. it's not like you can open the door anymore. she had to figure out a way to get out pushing away debris and the doors are towards the front, so her cousins, her sister, and possibly her parents were in the way as well. so, just getting out of that airplane was a major task. >> john, i believe in miracles. i have strong faith. but i know i've also heard you say that there's some science to why this child may have survived. what was in her favor? >> well, today airplanes are built with the best materials and the best assembly processes you can have. it's been ongoing for many, many years. so the fact that there was no fire and of course they're going to have to determine there was no fire. but the fact there was no fire contributed greatly to her

survivability. she was sitting, i've been told she was sit neglect last row there's three rows of seats. she was in the last row which means there may have been some protection when the airplane went upsaid down because of the tail. there's a lot of factors. was she in a three-point seatbelt or just a lap belt? the ntsb will look at those -- they call them survival factors and share that data with the manufacturers and the faa so airplanes in the future can be built better. >> i know i've heard you say the treeline the pilot was able to get to possibly slowed down the plane which gave her a great chance of surviving there was a small fire reported but what you're saying is that the whole thing didn't blow up and that was just a blessing. if you met with this child right now, what would be the first couple of things you would want to ask her? >> where she was sitting in the

airplane and whether or not her father -- she heard any comments from them about what was going on with the engine, and anything that he said prior to impact. did they brace for impact? tell everybody to prepare for impact? or that would mean it wasn't sudden. there's a number of small, subtle issues that little clues that she can give to the investigators to help through the process. >> we know she stayed composed. she is a brave little seven-year-old, little sailor, god bless her. thank you for sharing your expertise this afternoon. >> thank you for having me? i tell you what, the dow is on a freefall. it's kicked off the first full week of 2015 like it doesn't know it's the new year. what is happening? it's down more than 340 opinions during trading today. it's on track for its biggest drop in nearly three months and today the price of oil dipping below $50 a barrel. we can almost buy a few for our

house. that for the first time in five years it's been that cheap. on the wall now a look at oil prices over the past six months. crude oil lost more than half its value since last summer. white house spokesman says officials are monitoring the falling oil prices. this is not good to them. he says the drop in gas prices actually guess for the economy especially for the middle class, but not for the dow. gerri willis is their breck it down. host of the willis report; what is the outlook for the markets? good for the middle class but what does this do for the dow? >> well, they are kind of trading together, obviously, in opposite ways. so, gas prices here going down draw dramatically. i'll start there. good news for the middle class. last year the last six months prices dropped 40% and that was $14 billion in consumer's pockets so you get a lot of money you otherwise would have to spend on gas. stock market, though they don't

like this because it really hurts oil companies' bottom lines. but let's take a look at what the market might do. because we want to know, what is going -- this consensus view of wall street. analysts say an eight percent gain? stocks, the s&p 500, which is not as good as last year, which was 11.4%. so maybe a slight pullback but not much. 8% is a good year in the stock market. but i have to tell you, these guys are always upbeat, always at this time of year always happy, singing the song that -- >> you don't trust it? >> not really. if i could preticket the stock market, if anybody in this room could predict the stock market -- >> i know you red have an island and i'd be living with you on the island. i if your invested, talk to me about the average investor. we have 401ks and this is unsettling. >> but look as a percentage it's not that bad-not yet so far. this bull market is getting

older, it's almost six years old. we have had 53 record highs last year. so think about that. the market -- >> calling me greedy. >> no, just make sure you're allocated correctly. that's all you need to think about. >> very fast. oil prices, are we going to be able to enjoy the lower prices for much longer. >> i think it's going to go on for a while because wall street analysts look at the prices and i say they don't city a reason for them to back up to the levels of $100. >> we're using differently. okay. >> we're using differently and using more, hopefully and our economy is expanding so it's going to be a good 2015. >> willis report 5:00 p.m. eastern, thank you. >> good to see you. >> people across the u.s. are seeing temperatures drop in some cases in a dramatic fashion. potentially dangerous one, too. our meteorologist janice dean, the weather machine in the forecast this week, next. you stay up. you listen. you laugh. you worry.

50 degrees. so dangerous. there's a look at the temperatures for chicago. minus 13over night on thursday and again the real danger is the wind chills. back to you. >> janice, i've been looking at sites in the dakotas and minneapolis and that area up there and they're closing some public venues down because they want people to stay home and stay warm. very interesting. >> that's very wise. dangerous cold. >> thank you. >> house speaker john boehner is facing a challenge within his own party. we'll look at that and what pub republicans have planned now that they're going to be running both chambers commerce. that's coming up. oh, you smell that? they're trying to burn their house

republicans will control both chambers of congress. meanwhile, some conservative republicans say they will not vote to re-elect speaker john boehner as the leader of the house. among them congressman louie gohmert of florida, and ted yoho who say they will challenge the speaker for his job. mike emanuel is live. i read speaker boehner not taking this serious about is this challenge serious? >> it's not there yet. right now there are at least nine conservatives saying they'll oppose his leadership. boehner supporters note he was selected as the choice for speaker in november and say he expects to be electioned by the whole house. one conservative running against boehner says he wants to get it to a second ballot. >> that's our goal, and we fully anticipate to get there. we have already had nine members step out, saying they will not support this speaker and this is significant. there's members that have been

there for quite a while that are coming out, stepping forward and saying we will not support mr. boehner. >> after they get that sorted out the early agenda includes votes again obamacare more repeal votes, and also votes on individual con poem inepts that are uncopular, such as changing the full-time work week from 30 hours to 40 hours and expect surgical strikes against the medical device tax and individual mandate and the keystone xl pipeline, legislation expected to be filed tomorrow in the senate with hearing on wednesday. >> thank you very much. let's bring in bob cusick editor in chief of the hill newspaper in washington, dc. thank you for being here. >> happy new year. >> they're calling themselves -- i know they're called the gang of nine. who say they going to vote for somebody other than john boehner. that's a really small number. is this just a brilliant move by

some republicans to show a diversity in thought and platform to include conservatives in the party? >> well, certainly this is the tea party lawmakers who are grabbing some of the spotlight to make the case, trying to push speaker boehner as well as incoming majority leader mitch mcconnell to go big to go conservative to go after tax reform and entitlement reform die. think we'll see speaker gohmert ospeaker yoho? absolutely not. boehner will be elected speaker but will have defects of last time right there were 12 defections. this time maybe a little higher but there are more republicans elected to the house. this is a problem for the speaker but it's not a major problem. i don't think they'll get to a second ballot. they don't have the numbers. >> you say go big and on the list you have obamacare and certain elements can be repealed and the supreme court decides whether the subsidies in 37 states are even legal. where do you see us going down the road with obamacare in

particular? >> there will be another repeal vote. they have had dozens of repeal votes and it will pass the house and all likelihood won't pass the senate unless they use this budget maneuver to get it to obama's desk but a full repeal would be vetoed. >> what about changes, tweaks? >> i think that's where we're headed for. as mike mentioned the medical device tax. that is something that is supported, repealing it by elizabeth warren and al franken. so republicans' game plan is divide the democrats whether on the medical device tax or keystone, that's going to be their game plan, send stuff to obama as quickly as they asking then force him to veto it. >> maybe even divide on issues of national security. i brought this up on our show outnumbered in the noon hour here on the east coast and said what about senator bob corker out of tennessee who says someplace where we might be able to get to, democrats and republicans, how to deal with iran. the president cannot go it alone with they that country wanting

to ramp um nuclearly, if that's a word. >> iran sanctions are popular. long been popular, throws that pass maureen sanctions bills in the senate and the house, and i think that is going to be on their plate, and if congress passes another iran sanctions bill over the objections of the white house, that could blow up the iran deal because the iranians are not going to like that. so we'll see where that goes. republicans, that's something they're strongly considering. >> then you're forcing the president to go against something that well, looks like both parties like. and that's a precarious position for him to be in. bob cusick going to be an interesting 2015. >> no doubt about it. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> we are coming right back.
