all morning long. we're getting closer to getting to the bottom of this. >> two nypd officers were shot while pursuing an armed robbery suspect. luckily both will survive but this was the scene earlier in the bronx. a group of plain clothes officers responding to a grocery store armed robbery. check out this new surveillance video. you can see the suspects opening fire on the officers as they approach the scene. two suspects carjacked a woman and hopped in her white camaro crashing it shortly after. they fled on foot. embattled mayor bill de blasio had this to say about the officers' bravery. >> the work they do, this anti-crime work is so profoundly important but this instance where they went above and beyond the call, this is absolutely a case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow new yorkers. >> the shooting comes jut one day after the funeral of officer detective wenjian liu. he and his partner rafael

ramos were gunned down execution style as they sat in their patrol car. officers were seen turning their backs on mayor de blasio as he spoke at e.p.a. of their funerals. tensions remain high in new york city as the mayor and the police commissioner made remarks like this one. >> those individuals who took certain actions this last week, or last two weeks really, they were disrespectful to the families involved. that's the bottom line. >> the selfishness of that action, the selfishness of it the funeral is not a place for that. >> nypd officers cut back on making arrests. parking and traffic tickets sharply dropped by as much as 90%. >> on top of that the commissioner was able to sound off and the mayor was able to sound off. i think it's very clear to anyone who has been following this story that those police officers were not showing disrespect to the family. they were showing

disrespect to the mayor who they believed showed disrespect to the nypd who laid the groundwork for those shootings. that's what they believe. one of the police union officials says if the commissioner -- it seems like the commissioner is doing the mayor's bidding. they say turning their backs is disrespectful to officer liu is really an embarrassment to the mayor and commissioner. >> or is it an actual act of respect to show up for those services for their fellow officers. they went there as a sign of respect for officer liu's family. >> keep in mind, they only turned around when the mayor spoke. it was only when the mayor spoke. the mayor doesn't like it. it is a political thing. keep in mind one other element is this, later today al sharpton's group is going to start the anticop rallies once again today here in new york city. >> it's going to be a busy one here. 285 miles south of where we're sitting, capitol hill, later today the 114th congress is going to be sworn in.

the republican party is going to have the reigns of power. the big question: what will they do inside the big top? >> on the agenda, of course immigration the budget and the keystone pipeline set to be on the center stage on capitol hill. >> keystone pipeline most likely first as you heard from senator schumer yesterday the democrats are going to do this thing by offering amendments. the republicans are going to lirch to people -- listen to people and debate. that is regular order. it is going to be fascinating to see, somewhat disconcerting that the president is out of town during this time. so far no bipartisan talks on tap. >> nothing scheduled there. >> the president is not a he's not a compromiseer. look at the new crop of congressmen, 104 women, 430

males and 98 military members. also there's a great item in the "wall street journal" talks about the pedigree of a lot of people who are going to be serving in congress. not so many are doing the traditional way to go to congress. they didn't go to law school. they didn't do this. they didn't do that. instead they went out, they made a good living. they became something in the community and decided they wanted to serve and now they're in washington. the big question is how will they serve? how will the republicans rule in the next two years? >> you know what's interesting too is what you just brought up, a lot of these people have been in the real world, whether military or business. when you look at this administration i was shocked to see only 8% of the administration personnel currently employed at the white house were actually in real business before getting their job in politics. 8%. for the bush administration it was over 50. most over 40. just 8%. understandable what we're

going through. >> i just thought it was interesting when he said this is going to expose this do-nothing congress, what is going to happen. he said this is going to expose the fact that so much stopped on harry reid's desk. nothing has been getting done and the president now is going to be exposed to what he's going to put the brakes on. but the first order of business in the house is going to be perhaps a new speaker. john boehner is going to need 218 votes to keep that role there. no more than 29 republicans can defect. we had a louie gohmert over the weekend saying he's going to come out against boehner. what do you think about that? >> if 39 republicans decide they're going to vote against john with bay -- john boehner he's got

problem. right now it looks like a cakewalk, he will be the speaker of the house. mitch mcconnell is going to pass stuff, it is going to wind up on the desk of the president. will he sign things? that is what ed henry was talking to josh earnest about yesterday. can they get stuff done now? >> the president is going to start the new year by announcing new executive actions and new policy proposals that will benefit middle-class families, indicates he's most focused on results. he's mostly focused on substantive policy ideas that will middle-class families. >> he's moving forward on executive action? he's going on the road to talk directly to the american people. he's free to do that but you're talking about he's already going to do more executive action. >> he is and the president is determined to make progress on his own. >> there could be a brand-new day because there has never been this majority in the house --

>> what message has he sent? you could have hinted at this before. you have the indication from the president that he's going to get out his executive pen. they haven't even been sworn in yet and already stating that. no meeting set with republican leadership as of yet. nothing on the calendar with boehner. then he's leaving. talk about a protest. all those 70-plus members coming in right now, elected officials and where does he go? >> out of town tomorrow. >> if you're the president he's's most in town or on the road? i want to give hope to the people in this country? i want to see what's in the speech. if the speech is like it's going to be a new day fourth quarter or i'm going to look to make continued cooperation, whatever he says as opposed to -- >> you're talking about january 20, the state of the union? >> i'm talking about the three days that begins in detroit and goes on to phoenix, i want to see the text of the speech. >> we have seen this president for last six years. i think we all know what's

going to happen. he's going to detroit. what's interesting is he's going to be talking about how he helped turn around the car business and auto industry, he saved it. guess what? they scheduled his appearance at the ford motor michigan assembly plant which tomorrow is going to be closed because they make the ford focus and the sales are terrible, so they're going to have to close on wednesday. ford motor company employees are still getting their salary. but nonetheless this is a snafu from the advance team from the white house, to have the president go talk about how he turned around the car business and he has to go to a plant that is closed because business is bad. >> g.m. is a good story. ford didn't need any help and chrysler was given away to renault. that is a tragedy. we're going to do a whole investigation on that. >> michigan gasoline average $1.91 yesterday

there. >> i thought we had to bleep there for a second. heather nauert is up early. >> good morning guys. got breaking news to bring you and tragic details on a story out of the midwest. a train slammed into a school bus in north dakota leaving dozens of people injured including two people dead. the victims were the bus driver and a 17-year-old girl. police say there were no flashing lights at the crossing and that bus was blind sided by the train. multiple people were ejected from that bus. two young american olympic hopefuls are suddenly gone. ronnie burrlack and bryce axle were killed by an avalanche while they were skiing in the austrian alps. burrlack was a 20-year-old from new hampshire who recently bounced back after suffering a knee injury. the 19-year-old was from utah. he posted this video last fall to try to raise money to follow his dream.

chill temperatures. in new york city it is 19 degrees, factor in the breeze and it feels like 10 degrees. minneapolis the current wind chill temperature is 16 degrees below zero and it will be getting colder for some of you. these are actual temperatures forecast to be below zero in places like chicago and in marquette. by thursday morning in new york city the actual temperature will be in the single digits, places like louisville will be at zero degrees. little rock, atlanta and raleigh you're going to be looking at actual temperatures during the morning hours in the teens. we have winter weather advisories in effect across portions of the mid-atlantic and into the ohio valley. it's across parts of ohio where you could be looking at locally heavier amounts of snowfall up to eight inches of snow. most areas staying relatively light. snow already moving through portions of the mid-atlantic. >> maria, thank you for

american; the nation is going to be in trouble. free speech is really under threat. even more importantly freedom of conscience is under threat. you can see that in the name of justice and nondiscrimination in the last generation you've got more french-style understanding of equality that is actually undermining liberty in a very serious way. >> that -- is he right? is america losing its way? let's talk to judge andrew napolitano. judge, i can't tell you how many times you talked about how many liberties we are losing to the government. >> i agree with what he's saying. he comes from a tradition not as individualistic as ours was compared to be. he compares great britain where it is a mon monarchy a soft form of socialism -- varney will hate me for saying it. he sadly recognizes it. compared to the united states of america which was founded on this principle:

the presumption of liberty. not the presumption of government interference but the presumption of liberty. so our natural rights thoughts speech, privacy press, religion, self-defense, travel these are areas for which we don't need a government permission slip. our individual choices are presumed to be valid. when the government interferes and says you must do this you must do this, it inverts that presumption. >> what's an example of how the government is interfering that bothers you? >> in the era post-9/11, the government enacted a lot of laws in an effort to find people that would harm america. the motivation was noble: to keep us safe. but in the process of doing that, it stripped the liberties of all of us. it lets federal agents write their own search warrants. it listens to every phone calls. do we want them to listen to phone calls of bad

people? of course. do we want them to stop the bad people? yes, we do. do we want them to respect the liberties privacy and free speech of the rest of us? absolutely. when the government casts a net that is so wide and requires everybody to conform, it doesn't recognize or respect the individual choices of persons. periodically we need to compare where we are today with what the framers gave us. because liberty is not lost overnight. it is lost so gradually that each generation doesn't realize it has less freedom than the generation that came before it. >> life is so much more complicated today than it was back then. >> of course it is. when jefferson was president, he didn't like the concept of cities. jefferson is my hero. you have to have cities today because of the number of people and the limited amount of space. the purpose of the constitution was to guarantee maximum individual liberty and minimum government

interference. it's almost the other way around today. and this british author, i never heard of this guy until two days ago, put his finger right on it. >> we focus a -- not a lot on the state of our liberty. >> coming up on this tuesday, he's not what to do when you're trying to make peace with the police. >> at a time when i think the people in cities felt tremendous respect for the nypd, some individuals, some individual officers showed disrespect to the families and people of the city. >> our next guest is fighting back the right way doing what de blasio should be doing, holding a massive rally to support the men and women in blue. our police officers. >> that's right. politics meets football head on. chris christie hugs it out at the cowboys victory. now his brother is bringing the defense.

de blasio scolded the cops again. watch. >> at a time when i think the people of the city felt tremendous respect for the nypd, some individuals some individual officers showed disrespect for the families and people of the city. >> so is this the right message for the mayor to be sending? >> is that really a question? >> it is. a busy day on capitol hill as the new congress kicks off. the first order of business will john boehner lose his job as speaker? we'll break down the votes. >> and no snow needed for some kids this winter because their towns just banned sledding. >> don't try this at home, kids. i am a professional. later, dude. let her rip. hang ten. >> yep. some towns getting rid of sledding. we'll explain all why coming up on this tuesday because mornings are better with snow.

>> this is bill medley of the righteous brothers and you're watching "fox & friends" and you're in for the time of your life. >> thank you very much righteous brother. and i mentioned snow because it is supposed to start snowing within the hour here in new york city. 19 degrees outside. it's cold. >> the mayor will be plowed out by friday, judging by anything by last winter. we start with a fox news alert. it's right here in new york. nypd released the surveillance video that shows a robbery suspect shooting two police officers. those officers are going to survive. now a manhunt is underway for the gunman and his accomplice. lea gabriel has been following this story all night. she joins us this morning with the breaking details. >> good morning. both those officers are recovering. check this out, this was the scene earlier in the bronks. a group of plain-clothed officers were responding to an armed robbery at a grocery

store. check out this brand-new surveillance video. you can see the suspects opening fire on the officers as they approach the scene. the two suspects then carjacked a woman and hopped in her white camaro, crashing it shortly after. they both fled on foot and a manhunt is still underway. bill de blasio had this to say about the officers a bravery. >> the work they do, anticrime work is so profoundly important. but this instance where they went above and beyond the call, this is absolutely a case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow new yorkers. >> the shooting comes just one day after the funeral of officer detective liu. he and his partner were gunned down execution style two weeks ago as they sat in their patrol car. officers were seen turning their backs on the mayor as he spoke at each their funerals. tensions remain high as the mayor and police commissioner made remarks like this.

>> those individuals who took certain actions these last two weeks really, they were disrespectful to the families involved. that's the bottom line. >> the selfishness of that action, the selfishness of it. the funeral is no place for that. >> nypd officers have cut back on making arrests on low level crimes and issuing summons. and parking and traffic tickets have dropped sharply by as much as 90%. >> that's right. lea gabriel, we thank you very much. because it's not a case of the blue flu because the cops are showing up. they're not writing as much. it seems like to many, it's a subtle protest against this particular mayor. unfortunately, there is an item in the new york post this morning that says in the final two weeks of 2014 homicides spiked here in new york city. so it's ironic. earlier in the day yesterday the mayor was coming out talking

about how crime in new york city is down across the board. then now come out the numbers that they stopped writing tickets and homicides actually up at the end of last year. >> yeah. the union heads are not backing off. they have turned their backs not on officer liu, but on the mayor because he's viewed as anti-cop, anti-law enforcement extremely insulting. when he used the terms, we have to retrain law enforcement a lot of my retraining hasn't kicked in yet. it's all insulting. it's on him. it's not on officer liu. >> let us know what you think about that when you see the officers turning their back. really they're supporting the liu family. when the mayor got up to speak they turned their backs. let us know what you think. >> one of these guys was shot in the back. you just wonder if the whole tone of the assailants, the mindset of a criminal that's going to carjack or do anything like that. do they suddenly feel emboldened, like i'll take out

the cops 'cause no one has their back. if you think you're shooting a certain race, if you look at the nypd, who are you protesting? minorities. it's a majority-minority force. >> that's right. the most diverse in the nation. >> right. keep in mind, the guy who assassinated these two cops put up on social media they kill one of ours, we're going to kill two of theirs. that's what he posted here in new york city. let's find out what's going in washington. republicans now own both houses and they're going to pass a number of things. it sounds like they're going to do things smartly. they would like to find common ground with the president on immigration, also the budget and it looks like later today senators hoffen and west virginia joe manchin are going to introduce legislation on the keystone pipeline, which is -- >> democrat, joe manchin. >> absolutely. because it looks like they'll be able to vote on it tomorrow in

the senate. the house will vote on friday and then put it on the president's desk. if he vetoes that, he's going to look like an obstructionist the president will, to many, many people because both sides talked about, there is a lot of good in that. >> what may be shocking is that it will actually get to his desk. because with harry reid out of the way, they'll get to his desk. and talking about restoring the 40 hour workweek. the member also take a brief look at it. 104 females, 430 males. 98 members of the military there. >> the make-up of the people who are in congress is changing, much like the make-up of the outside of the dome, which i know we've shown that picture a number of times. they're restoring it, all sorts of cracks and bad stuff on it. they're taking it off and making it all new.

>> to me, it will be a project just putting the scaffolding together, but that's just me. i don't have a screw gun. but i plan if i had one i would be charging it right now. let us talk about speaker boehner because about a month ago, we know there was a run at a speakership and he got a message last time. there was an organized effort against him. it did not work. he kept his job. now there has been an ad hoc movement to oust him as speaker. this is only going to be 11 people. you have two separate detainees. if it gets up to 29, then he's got a real problem. there will be a second ballot and it will be something that you might wonder if he's going to walk away from if it gets to that. i think this sends an important message to the speaker and also to everybody else, it's going to be hard coralling a huge majority caucus. they're very different and it will be hard to thoroughly represent. >> there are many different

factions within the republican party. the speaker has done his be like trent lott wrote that book "herding cats." you got all these people and trying to get them to the common goal. ultimately, he wants to get some things passed and not look like the crazy party. >> their main issue with him is the debt ceiling. >> i just wish someone would talk about cutting the deficit. heather will tell us what's happening in the news. >> good morning. we've been talking about the space x launch. that's not happening today. it was a mission aborted this morning. it was scrubbed at the very last minute. there was a technical glitch that triggered an automatic abort. the historic mission would have blasted a rocket into space and if all went as planned, it would have landed safely on a barge in the atlantic ocean. that launch is now rescheduled for friday morning. the lack of crossing lights at a north dakota railroad causing a horrific accident between a school bus and a train. two people were killed and

for this early education or is it going too far too soon? let's ask our panelist, alexis is an executive director of the perception institute and susan patton is author and columnist both are moms and join us for a fair and balanced debate. thank you for being here. obviously we sit here as three motorcycles women, when you see that statistic that 42% of those rapes occur before the age of 18 to women, something has to be done. it's just a matter of what and when. is kindergarten too early? alexis, i'll start with you? >> i think we teach developmentally appropriate ways to our young children. i have a two-year-old five-year-old and we've already had those conversations, even in our doctor's office about where your private parts are who is allowed to see them and touch them. i think that it is important to empower particularly young girls to have ownership over their body and it is too late to wait 'til college. >> is it the place in the school? should this be taught within the scholastic system? >> i don't think so at all. i think the idea of talking to kindergarteners about rape pre--

firstly, the 42% statistics that you're quoting, i'm questioning that to begin with. is that really rape? i think that the numbers that have been thrown around as to the frequency with which rape and sexual assault occurs have come into question and have been debunked in numerous >> you're saying that statistic may not be accurate? >> yes. that's exactly what i'm saying. >> you're questioning that to begin with? >> i think it's a huge exaggeration of what actual rape statistics are or what actual sexual assault statistics are. in terms of do we really want to be teaching kindergarteners? this is absurd. absolutely absurd to even enter into a conversation with kindergarteners about sexual assault. >> is it a label that disturbs you? because if it were called body awareness or my body's mine and not sexual assault prevention, would that be okay with you in the school? >> good point. i think what we're talking about here is body awareness, or bullying or verbal harassment or

recognize what somebody else's space is and don't violate it and don't touch it. keep your hands to yourself. this isn't sexual. these are matters and just like i don't think that sex ed belongs in school, we shouldn't be teaching sex ed in school. that's something parents should be teaching their children. manners, which is really what we're talking about here. keep your hands to yourself. don't be bullying anybody. you don't touch somebody, you don't want them to touch you. tell them not to. again, this is manners. this isn't sex ed. so elisabeth, you're quite right in saying the label we're putting on this of sex ed in kindergarten is absurd. manners. and even that should be taught at home, by the way. the schools have enough -- >> let me play devil's advocate. >> i think there are many homes across america where it would be wonderful if children could talk to their parents, but they don't have those opportunities and resources. there is bad information on the internet. there is bad information from friends passing around, you know what they think.

>> you trust that schools will get it right? >> i think we need to invest better in education. in terms of particularly sex education in our schools i think that when we see things like abstinence only policies, we've seen an increase in teen pregnancy in those states. i think that we need to do a better job empowering our students empowering our children to address this issue. i have to push back on this question of assault, of the data, because i feel like that number, one in four women of women who are on college campuses who are reporting sexual assault is very real. these are coming out in health reports. the idea that we're questioning 50% of those women tonight even report that because they are ashamed. that's what we have to get to the core of. >> a lot of issues here to dig through. i think that's incredible that we can sit here. i think we can all agree that something does need to be done. it's just a matter of where and when and how young and the methods and who can be trusted

suspects. that leaves behind only dzhokhar tsarnaev to face the charges. his father made these statements to abc news. but both the mother and the father of dzhokhar tsarnaev and tamerlan tsarnaev have made statements in the past. their central argument is essentially been to blame america over the course of a multitude of statements they've made. 12 jurors and six alternates are what needs to be selected here in the coming days. jury selection got underway yesterday. they're talking to about 400 additional jurors today asking them to fill out questionnaires. and another 400 will be filling out questionnaires tomorrow, making for an ultimate pool of about 1200 people. the judge gets the first -- gave the first group their instructions yesterday, telling them what you need is a commitment to justice and made it clear this case differs from other criminal cases in that it will come down to the jury to decide the penalty in this case if, in fact, he's convicted. meaning the jury will decide whether or not he faces death or life in prison. we also have some video to show you. these are of some young girls.

something about his golf game being congruent to his presidential game. >> well, yes. i would like to think that getting out there and playing poor golf is not a reflection on what he does during his presidency. but at the end of the day, there is a great barometer that character of a person does get exposed on the golf course. if you've been flipping and nonchalant on the golf course, that's pretty much how you are off the golf course. if you are determined and determine to do break 80 or 90 or 70 on the golf course, if you get throughout and you dig in deep and hard, that's going to be the same way as you approach your business life. as a leader of the free world, you can't begrudge anybody for making nine holes. you want to make sure the leader of the free world, 1,000 plus hours on the golf course that it's being used productively not only for himself, but for the nation and the world. >> there you go. greg norman, who knows a president or two.

after they were shot by an armed robbery suspect. take a look at this surveillance video. you can see the suspect opening fire on officers as they approached the scene. two suspects then fled on foot after they crashed a vehicle that they had carjacked. mayor bill de blasio commenting on the officers' bravery. listen to this. >> work they do, this anticrime work is so profoundly important. but this instance where they went above and beyond the call. this is absolutely a case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow new yorkers. >> those comments coming just one day after he called officers disrespectful for turning their backs to him funeral of officer liu. tensions remain high as the nypd officers cut back on making arrests on a low level crimes and also issuing summonses. we'll keep you posted on how those police officers in the hospital are doing this morning. another fox news alert.

mission aborted. this morning's space x launch gets scrubbed due to a technical glitch. the historic mission would have blasted a rocket into space and if all went as planned, it would have safely landed on a barge in the atlantic ocean. that launch is rescheduled for friday morning. a wealthy hedge fund manager allegedly shot dead by his 30 yearly son and sources say it is all because a father threatened to cut back his son's allowance. police say that thomas gilbert, junior murdered his father the chairman of waynescott capitol. and that the sun staged it to make it look like it was a suicide. the father had allegedly threatened to stop paying his son's rent and reduce his allowance by $200 a month. while you were sleeping, we learned that the pentagon is getting ready to release two more groups of prisoners from gitmo. this all part of the president's promise to close the prison. 127 remain at gitmo. just last week, five more were

freed. president obama has released a total of 112 prisoners since he took office. we first broke that story back in november. now the latest information on that new group to be released. i'll see new a bit. >> thank you very much. laura ingraham joins us every week and she's down in our nation's capitol where they'll swear in a new congress. first, the headline today, two more cops shot in the bronks. they were gunned down while confronting some guys who did some robbing apparently. this in the same day that mayor de blasio blasted police officers who turned their backs on him at officer liu's funeral. i'm going to play that sound bite and then i want your reaction. >> those individuals who took certain actions this last week or last two weeks really, they were disrespectful to the families involved. that's the bottom line. the selfishness of that action the selfishness of it the

funeral is no place for that. >> okay. there you've got the mayor and the top cop. what do you think? >> well, one thing we know is that police don't turn their backs on their duty, to show up at a reported robbery. in fact, one of the police officers last night in the bronks was shot in the back. i know both are in critical condition, expected to recover. they're not turning their backs on the most important part of what they do, which is to serve the public. but i think to get respect you have to give respect. and so perhaps the police chief and the mayor would be better served in their desire to quell the police dissatisfaction is if they really started to show the police the respect that i think they deserve. and i think across the country today when people see this terrible news out of new york people are probably wondering where is the obama administration? i know they sent biden to the funeral and i guess that's fine. but where is the justice department? they rushed in after the michael

brown protests and sent their community relations board or agents in to talk to the neighborhoods and to get the community together. why not do the same thing in new york, like show a sign of respect for what's happened to the police there and actually maybe get people together to have a conversation about why it's so important not to turn the police against authority because they feel like they're not being respected or protected. where is the department of justice today? >> they're working on a task force to retrain all the officers with expedience. do you think is a relationship beyond repair when it comes to de blasio specifically and the nypd? >> i agree what bill o'reilly said last night. i don't see how you come back from this. i really don't. i know he's angry. he thinks he's being disrespected, but you talk to the cops on the beat and i know a lot of you know them in new york as i do. they're very demoralized. they have righteous indignation

and anger toward this constant barrage of negativity, bad story, looking at the police in the worst light. it doesn't inoculate the mayor's office from criticism when he issues the well, we know most officers do a great job. that's not enough. you have to show a consistent level of respect and appreciation and you don't jump to the worst conclusion and fuel the fires of racism when race had nothing to do with these two most recent examples of violence toward individuals where they ended up dying. it was nothing to do with race yet they fanned those flames. >> i'm with you. but short of resigning issues apologizing sincerely would be a huge step forward. let's switch to something right by you and that is what's going to happen on capitol hill today. we're going to find out if speaker boehner if it will be more defections than the 12 on the record of not voting, saying they're not going to vote for him for speaker. how bad is it if it is bad at

all for him? >> well, i think in the end boehner probably survives. but this is what i'll say to all the republicans watching. they all watch "fox & friends" in the morning. what were you sent to capitol hill to do? ma what did you campaign on? did you campaign on aggressive change, positive change in washington d.c.? is holding on to the current leadership really what your constituents are telling you that they want done? it seems to me that the change in november really was, my goodness, we have to do things differently. you must oppose obama then you must offer a pathway forward to economic growth, enforcing our borders, making sure that the rule of law is respected, and not i think falling into the media's theme of oh, you have to work with obama on everything. you have to be bipartisan. that's not what people voted for. they voted for a change in direction. and i'm not sure that what boehner is saying about working with the president and -- i just

don't think that's motivating anybody. >> do you think he's going to survive? >> i think he'll probably survive. but i think for all the republicans who are back benchers, they better watch these latest polls of individuals who say if you don't fight meaningfully against this executive amnesty, we're not voting for you in 2016. i think all of their necks are on the line if they don't vociferously the stagnant leadership we have on capitol hill. >> what about the president being really adamantly against seemingly to work with anyone there in congress? he's already sort of laid down his plans for more executive action. ed henry actually went yesterday and said, wait a minute, they haven't even taken their positions yet and he has josh earnest saying they're not going to be given a chance before he decides to use the pen. watch this and then respond. >> the president is going to start the new year by announcing some new executive actions and some new policy proposals that will benefit the middle class families, indicates he's most

focused on results. he's focused mostly on substantive policy ideas that will benefit -- >> you're already talking about he's moving forward on executive action. he's going out on the road to go. he's free do that. but they haven't been sworn in yet and you're saying he's getting ready to do more executive action. >> he is. and the president is determined to make progress where he can on his own. >> the president is not a compromiser. we have seen that in the last six years. >> right. so why are the republicans turning themselves inside and out to appear to look like they can govern? what they should do -- >> they need to look reasonable so that in two years, people will go, you know what? the republican party seemed to be pushing things along or act in my best interest. i'll give them a nod for president. >> exactly. you have to hand it to obama. i don't agree with anything he's doing. but in defeat, he acts like he won. i think the concern for many of us looking at the republican party is in victory, they act like they lose.

so oh, my gosh, we have to move toward obama. obama is gone. okay? if i were a republican congressman, i would act on behalf of the american people. if the president decides to campaign for the next two years, he's going to go off doing his campaign stops let him do that. but what republicans need to remember is the american people are desperate for economic growth and wage increases across the board for the middle class. if they work toward that and respond to the will of the people, the consent of the governed, they do that they're going to do really well. don't worry about whether obama comes along to your view. go to where the people are. >> put something on his desk. i would love to see someone just look responsibly at the deficit. no one even talks about it. >> that would be nice. >> meanwhile, the president is going on the road, part one will be wednesday. then over to phoenix. he's going to stop in michigan and say look what a great job i did saving ford -- excuse me, saving gm the car industry.

but unfortunately, his advance team has is set up at a plant that's set to close because it's a small car hybrid plant. >> well, that's his delicious irony. we have gas prices falling oil prices falling and they go to the hybrid plant. you can't make up how stupid that is. i'm surprised after that deal with moving the army captains in hawaii, they didn't ask ford to move the plant. yeah. can you move this? this is really inconvenient for us right now. >> move the plant. >> or just open the plant. even though you want to close it, open it so it looks better for the president. guys, he's going to be on the campaign trail. but what are the republicans campaigning for and are they going to hit that sore spot for the working class people of this country? that's where it is today. >> they take over today at noon. laura, have a great radio show. kicks off about 45 minutes from right now all across the country. we'll see you next week. >> see you next week. now this, coming up, a war veteran seeking treatment for insomnia gets his guns

hospital. i slept fine. and i was released. >> all right. how are you sleeping these days? >> i'm doing fine. sleeping well. >> so you just couldn't sleep. and then as it turns out, how did the sheriff's department find out he had sleep problems and he was mentally unstable and they had to come and confiscate his guns? >> right. what appears to be the case is that at this point, there is a mental health reporting system operating on a statewide basis between medical providers, the office mental health, department of criminal justice services the new york state police, county law enforcement county clerks and local law enforcement. essentially what happens is once you are tagged as a mental defective or involuntarily committed, your personal health information hits the bureaucracy and goes statewide. >> and what happened was then

recovery at a ford plant now closed due to lack of demand for its hybrid and smaller cars. our next guest says conservative policy is not the president's policies, deserve the credit for getting everything else back on track. joining us to expand on that, michigan congressman mike bishop. what do you mean? >> there are a lot of reasons why the michigan economy is back on track. the federal government is not the reason. i would give credit first and foremost to the resilient work force here in michigan. this is a very, very highly skilled, resilient work force that has done a lot to bring this industry back and also give credit to the republican leadership that was ushered in in 2010 that has done so much to turn our economy around. and made a real difference. >> so the president did go and bail out the auto industries more than 303,000 jobs created unemployment since 2006. in telephones of the auto bailout, many jobs were saved. that's more than 500,000 jobs that were created in sales of light trucks and of course that

sale has gone through the roof. light trucks is up almost 6% in 2014. does the president get some credit for doing the bailout for helping gm? >> i think the people of michigan would be very resentful to have a politician come into town and take credit for any kind of recovery here in michigan. michigan has a lot of great things going for it. we are the comeback state, largely because of state leadership. nothing to do with the federal leadership. i would be very careful if i were the president to come into michigan and take credit for the turn around that we've seen in michigan. >> it will be a battle ground state in the next election. >> for sure. >> absolutely. and the governor might be a presidential candidate. let me ask you something, in particular, if you looked at the chrysler story, the ford story, they didn't need help. in chrysler, they were sold to an italian company. gm is the one that can say okay. i got the infusion, which really started during the bush years.

>> that's correct. there are a lot of reasons why the auto industry is where it is today. but again i fall back on the fact that we have michiganers that couldn't afford to buy a car. now we've got an economy back on the rise. we have people back to work. we've got benefits now. michigan is looking up and the auto industry is being raised right now not just by policy, but by the economy that it's growing and prospering right now. so there are a lot of factors that have gone into it. the president though, has got to be careful of taking sole credit for what's gone on here. it's just amazing what this republican leadership has done and it's happened in all the states he's visiting right now. tennessee, arizona, and states that he's visiting during this tour are all led by republican leaders. >> maybe we'll get something done for the next two years. congressman, let's be optimistic. thank you for joining us this morning and good luck with your next session.

>> thank you. 14 minutes before the bottom of the hour. here is what's left. a 17-year-old refusing to get chemo. her parents are on her side. but the government is now forcing her saying it will save her life. so we wanted to know whose decision is it anyway? arthur and ablow take that case next. first let's check in with the guy named bill hemmer to find out what's on his show. >> nice to see you. good morning. breaking news on this gunman wanted for shooting two new york city police officers. we are on that today. there is drama in the house. will john boehner keep his job or is this threat from the right just talk? and is the deal with cuba falling apart already? martha and i will see you at the top of the hour in 12 minutes.

if you're diagnosed with cancer and literally fighting for your life, who do you want to make your medical decisions? chances are it's not the government, but that's what's happening to one teen-ager who tried to refuse chemotherapy in connecticut. >> my daughter is refusing chemo because of the poison toxins that she does not want in her body. it not only kills cancer it kills everything in your body. she knows this. this is her human right or human constitutional right to not put poison in her body. her rights have been taken away. she has been forced to put chemo in her body right now as we speak. >> doctors are telling state officials that the young woman named cassandra will die without the treatment. should she trust them to act in her best interest in here to react, fox news contributor, dr. keith ablow and fox news legal analyst arthur aidala. this is a tough one here. does the government have a right to force you to use

chemotherapy? >> i don't see where it is in the constitution. i don't see where it is in any state statute. in the state of connecticut, it would be totally different if there was an extreme negligence on behalf of these parents. but you heard the mother. she gives a very articulate reason why they don't want to do this. how many wakes have i been to of people who have died of cancer where their loved one says, the cancer didn't kill them. the chemotherapy killed them. it's not they're not treating this at all. they're just using alternative methods of treatment as opposed to the typical chemotherapy. >> well, thank god i'm here. here is the truth. hodgkin's disease terrible illness, but among the most treatable cancers. how do you treat it? with chemotherapy. i differ with my brother here because the bottom line is this mother doesn't give an eloquent explanation of why she's refusing the chemotherapy. she says it kills all the cells in your body. that's not true. >> why isn't it enough that she's just the parent opting for

a different treatment of her child? >> you're not allowed to participate in the demise of your child. that's called manslaughter. >> i would agree with you -- >> and negligence. it's not called parenting. sometimes the government does have to step? n i would agree with you if they weren't doing anything. they were like no, we're going to let this happen and we'll see what happens. that's not what they're doing. they're dressing an alternative -- >> a 17-year-old young woman may die because her parents are ignorant or otherwise misdirected. they're not saying this is a religious conviction. they're not saying they've demonstrated this reticence about medical treatment in the past. they have a wrong minded idea about medicine and they should be removed as her guardian. >> where do you draw the line when it comes to personal rights? some would say this is a slippery slope. she actually ran away. >> right. we're not near the slippery slope. hodgkin's lymphoma.

treatable. she at 17 can't make that decision. she may be under the influence of her parents. the government has to step in. that's what we pay the government to do. >> correct. so the government can step in and tell you and me that our children can't go to school unless they get certain vaccines because it's not taking care of our kids. that's to protect the other kids. it's so your kid gets the shot so they don't get the disease and passes it along. you're not stepping in and jumping into your life. >> you know i hate government intrusion. i really do. >> but you're advocating for it right now. >> in certain cases we need it because this is worse than beating your kid. in cases in which a child is beaten, we ask the government please step in and get those kids to safe care. >> it's a penal law violation. >> this is worst than that. they're encouraging their daughter to die. >> no, they're not! they're not! >> they are. because the treatment is well accepted.

>> what would do you in terms of looking at the parents? this is a 17-year-old girl allowing some people to say, she's almost 18. she can drive a car, she can decide what to put in the car and a lot of things for herself. if this were a five-year-old little girl what would people be saying? >> if she were five and may as well be because she's 17 and she's not. she's not an emancipated minor. what i'd be asking the parents is, please go through this with me again. why are you advising your daughter to not get this acceptable very powerful treatment. >> here is the question, if the young woman was 17 and she was a gymnast or some sort of athlete and had gangrene and the only way to live is cut off her leg and she chose, i'd rather die with both legs than have my leg cut off, does the government say no, you got to have your leg cut off? can the government do that? >> would the government allow a 17-year-old -- >> to say i'd rather die with two legs than have my legs cut off? >> i think the government would appoint a guardian and a decision would have to be made

in that case. but if the parents were encouraging that, for her to die, i would say i want a strict review. >> dicey debate. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> let us know what you think about that. this coming up want to cut your laundry time in half? the new gadget making this chore so much easier. i rejoice about that next. ♪ ♪
