chocolate chip and one another. the last two are gluten free. >> my top story, the rams are going to los angeles. the owner bought land and will build a bigger stadium. see you tomorrow. bill: a man you hunt underway in new york city has two more police officer are shot in the line of duty and tensions between the mayor and nypd continue to escalate today. martha: good morning i'm martha maccallum. we have the nypd rrp searching for two suspects. the video shows him robbing a grocery store and opening fire on two police officers. bill: mayor deblasio criticizing

the police for turning their backs on him. >> at a time when i think people have tremendous respect for the nypd some individual officers showed disrespect to the families and the people of this city. martha: first of all how are these two officers doing at this point. >> reporter: the officers are described in stable condition at a local hospital. they are described as doing well and will recover. we have live pictures from the scene where the shooting took place at 10:45 last night. the officers had just finished their shift in the bronx when they got a call of an armed robbery at a deli. they were working as a plain

clothed anti-crime unit. >> as they approached, one of the suspects entered the chinese restaurant while the other suspect remained outside on the street. as two of the officers approached the male on the street the other suspect in the store came out and fired on the officers. >> reporter: the video shows one of those suspects in the chinese restaurant opening fire. witnesses say they heard at least three gunshots. both suspects are described as hispanic between 25-30 years old. after the shooting they high jacked a white camaro. the car crashed a few blocks away. a handgun was found at the scene. the latest incident doesn't

appear to be because the officers were targeted. it appears to be a random crime that had taken place. martha: no doubt when everyone heard this news when it started to trickle out the thought was not again. what is the mayor saying about all of this? >> reporter: new york mayor bill deblasio was at the hospital last night where the two officers are being treated. he's under strained relations at the police department following the execution-style slayings of two police officers last month. there has been a dramatic dropoff in the number of arrests here in new york city. some see that as a possible protest against the mayor. as for the mayor speaking at the hospital with the police commissioner at his side, he

praised the commitment and sacrifice of the two officers. >> these officers did something that was extraordinarily brave this evening as and they did it as part of their commitment. these officers had come off their shift. upon hearing this call went back out in search of these criminals. >> reporter: the mayor went on to say we care not on about the two officers, but their families as well. what remains to be seen is whether his words will help soothe relations with the nypd. martha: thank you very much. bill: protesters trying to new tactic to raise awareness of what they call a growing problem of police brutality. disrupting what they call white spaces. here is an example. that's the scene in new york

city targeting popular brunch locations. tweeting out the hashtag black brunch nyc. protesters say they chose brunch to target the white privileged who have chosen to ignore the problem in new york city. >> martha: check it outon line and we'll talk about that in a few minutes. bill: there is drama today in the house. the new congress gets down to business as republicans wait to see who will lead them. the republicans leading in the the show in both chambers for the first time in eight years. top of the agenda the keystone pipeline and speaker john

boehner's job. chris tire walt is with us. does yawn boehner keep his job? >> oh, yeah, probably in pretty good fashion. bill: two years ago the rebels in the house with chants of "hell no." >> it will be noisy but in the end it won't come to much. people angry at john boehner on a host of issues, particularly on actions on the immigration move will make a lot of noise today but in the end they won't be able to dlir -- won't be able to deliver the goods for the people supporting them. bill: . bill rose says we are on vacation here.

>> the republicans know if they don't deputy trait they can advance the agenda they ran on -- if they don't demonstrate they can advance the agenda they ran on. man the senate on the keystone pipeline can they find bipartisan support? that's an enormous task. it may be snowy in washington today. but harry reid kept the senate in a deep, deep freeze the last 8 years. mitch mcconnell will say legislate, make law go back to normal life. the democrats are ready to hurt them for doing it. we'll see whether mcconnell in the senate and boehner in the house can demonstrate the ability to govern. bill: 70 years 276 house seats

that's quite a margin. >> this is a very conservative house and senate. it's not just that it's republican. but the republicans who are there are very conservative. how can they honor the voters who sent them there and demonstrate they can get the job done. bill: that's stirewalt the reverend in washington. martha: congressman ted yoho is challenging boehner for his speaker's post. bill: it seems that 10-20 republicans can go against him. martha: i think they need 29 votes to move anything with boehner. how about the bull run we had at the end of 2014 seems to be coming a screeching halt after

plunging more than 300 points yesterday. it comes amid record-low oil prices and renewed fears about a greek exit from the eurozone. why did we sell yesterday? >> what used to be considered good for your 401k is now considered not so good. what we have is a continuing slide in the price of oil. now we are down to $48 a barrel. a continuing slide in gasoline. now we have eight states where the price is under $2 per gal and a sharp drop in interest rates. i can now get you a mort game or 3.5%. it's considered maybe bad because it reflects a weak

global economy. i like paying $2 for gasoline. i like a mortgage at 3.3%. although investors may not like it, i and you certainly do. martha: investors pointed to the stock market as a sign of the improved economy. but what the stock market represented was corporate profits that didn't necessarily help people on the street. >> if you are an investor and you put your money into a bond you earn virtually nothing. pmple so you put it in stock mark the which is going up. the stock market rally has nothing to do with the president's policies or the economy. it's about the federal reserve. that's what's going on here.

i'm cheering on the fall in oil and the fall in gas. martha: thank you so much. we'll see you. bill: it is supposed to be called the winter but it's crazy. minus 15 in chicago. minus 27 in the state of maine. how low will it go, vortex 2.0. martha: a wealthy wall street titan was found dead in his luxury apartment. his son is now charged in his murder. new details police are revealing will shock you. bill: president obama approving the release of three cuban spies for 50 political prisoners held in cuba. the problem is we don't know when or if they will ever be released. >> what's happening? are they out? we are not asking -- i'm not

asking for names it would be nice to have them -- where are they? >> i don't have any more just dates for you. you don't know. >> it's not that i don't know, it don't have any more updates to provide for you.

hedge fund manager. police say the son shot his father in the then staged the crime scene to try to make it look like a suicide after the two reportedly argued about money. what a story that is. >> i think you have to show a strong vote for downboehner -- vote for john boehner tomorrow. bill: john boehner seek his third term as house speaker. he'she's being challenged by my

nextest, ted yoho. >> john boehner is a nice guy but we are looking leadership and bringing up bills based on merit, not on politics. the 72-hour rule is a rule of congress that we abide by in our conference but we don't follow it. those are the rules that allow a nobody review a bill for at least 72 hours before we vote on it. the american people expect us to read a bill before we pass it. i put in an amendment last knight and it didn't pass. for to us do our due diligence we need to have that in place. we should fight from a leadership standpoint to say i want you to be well informed so we can do the best for our constituents. we work for the american people. bill: how many will oppose. >> you will see the numbers

grow. i threw my name in the hat as an alternative. i heard people wanted an alternative to the status quo. i put my name in the hat and mr. gohmert put his name in the hat. people either vote for the status quo or the people who sent them here. bill: is it 10, 20? what is the number? >> we are 13. people have been calling us to say we are going to support somebody other than mr. boehner. you will see the numbers grow. bill: but if you get 13, that's not nearly enough. >> no, but you will see the numbers grow throughout the day. we are getting people calling us thanking us for giving them an alternative. the american people spoke loud and clear in november that they are tired of the status quo.

the way we change that is through the leadership of the republican party. bill: two years ago there were chants on the floor of "hell no." will we hear anything like that today? >> i don't think so. this is a well-orchestrated movement and it's following suit with what we anticipated. bill: do you honestly think you can replace him? >> i don't do things for show. people say you need to get rid of mr. boehner. i say if somebody is running against him i'll vote. and they say no you need to throw your name in the hat. i'm not a big fan of polls but i hear this and i can tie in the poll numbers to what i hear in the district. 25 per to 30% of the people who

are registered republicans are looking to leave the party because they don't like the leadership. it's time for a new day in the leadership and i'm looking forward to having a hand in that. bill: last month the staff worked with you on an immigration bill. was that not good enough? >> the bill should be brought up on merit. but that bill was to go against the executives, the president for overstepping the boundaries of the constitution. every member of congress should have voted for that. that reins in the president from rewriting our immigration laws which is not his authority. his job is to faithfully execute the laws of the land. anybody in a leadership position should have brought that up. bill: you put out a statement saying there are enough career

politicians in washington, d.c. frankly a lot of voters probably agree with that statement. do you think john boehner is a career politician? >> i came up here for a cause not a job. some people -- if you have don't same thing over and over and over again and you are not getting different results it's time for a change. the only way you can change washington is by change the people in washington and the people in leadership. the american people are looking forward to that. bill: sir, thank you for your time. we'll see what happens. here is martha. martha: they were getting ready to attempt to go for the gold in their careers. we have new details on the tragedy that claimed the lives of two promising young members of the u.s. ski team. bill: what is inside a time

capsule that dates back to 1795 boston massachusetts. why do i cook? because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. for every way you make chicken noodle soup, make it delicious with swanson®.

bill: two young promising skiers who dreamed of olympic gold are dead from an avalanche. ronnie berlack and bryce astle dead after they were training for the world cup races in austria. martha: a bitter chill sweeping across the country blanketing the east with snow and causing a

headache in chicago. the real problem is the cold. negative 15 in chicago. and that is only the beginning from what we understand. mike tobin is there with his warmest jacket and hat on. how is it going? >> it's cold. scarves up above their faces the universal sign for the cold commute. cold but not cold enough to shut things down. iowa got the worst of it. a lot of roads were shut down because of snow blowing across the roads. a lot of roads were shut down because of car wrecks. across the state of illinois the snow removal trucks were maxed out in terms of their fleet and size. they have main arteries cleared as the sun came up. as you go around and look at the different streets the immediate

hazard seems on patches of black ice and car wrecks. >> i have to increase my following distance. i can't stop as quick as i normally do. we'll probably see a lot more cars in the ditch. pa is getting it -- pennsylvania is getting it. light snow expected to get worse later none the day. martha: we have snowfall in new york city, too. i'm surprised they didn't cancel the beginning of congress. they get nervous in d.c. when they get a little snow. bill: we were spoiled. but that's over. martha: get your coat in washington d.c. bill: jeb bush taking a big step forward on what looks like more and more a campaign for the white house.

details on that. martha: leave the driving to us. we are guesting a sneak peek at the future. these cars drive themselves and they are up and running. [♪]

bill: we are learning former florida governor jeb bush is going to launch a political action committee that could be a first step in the bid for the white house. >> reporter: he's raising the stakes for his potential rivals. his aides say he has not made up his mind and he's only considering a run. its going to be called the right

to rise pac that will allow him to race issues, hire some staff and travel around the country. this puts him on a par with his potential rivals. they all have leadership pacs and they have been using them for more than a year to travel the 2016 campaign trail without saying they are running. his aides say we'll cherish free end prize embrace the energy revolution. fix our obsolete immigration system and transform our education system through choice, high standards and accountability. and granting legal stat to us certain unauthorized immigrants that put him at odds with his potential rivals. the big move that will send a big signal to the rest of the field is a super knack support

of bush is going created as soon as today. it will be separate from the campaign which will not be raising money for the super pac. but it will be created by close bush allies and dedicated to advancing a jeb bush candidates i. he has not made up his mind they say. but if the super pac is opened up it will create the impression of a cash band wagon behind bush it could suck the oxygen, meaning cash against potential rivals. they can attack and koirnlts attack rivals in a way of a campaign or he an actual candidate would prefer not to. bush is raising the bar for the rest of the field even though he's not a candidate. martha: recent polls show jeb bush leading in the the pack of potential 2016 candidates.

but here is a look at the latest poll numbers we have. they show the former governor at 22%. chris christie comes in at 10%. and the rest a digits. let's talk about jeb bush. this leadership committee having been formed, how strong a candidate do you believe that he would be given some of the issues that a lot of people don't like about jeb bush? >> this is a question that if people are going to ask and will be answered i think in the next 6-9 months, we'll begin to get a sense how strong a candidate he potentially is. carl cameron made a point that jeb bush is raising the bar by these early move on money raising the bar for other potential candidate. but he's also raising the bar

for himself. let's assume he files his leadership pac in the next day or two. that means april 15 that committee will have to report its receipts. that will be a challenge for bush as well. it has to be a number that people say wow that's a lot of money. the same with a super pac. it gets to elect on what king it reports. monthly or quarterly. my sense is they will pick quarterly so they will have more time to put together the first amount of cash in it. people will have to look at that and say wow or i'm not all that impressed. he's raising the bar for everybody else by saying let's see how' money you can raise but he's also raising the bar for himself. this will be a costly contest and there is not going to be enough money to go around for the 20-some odd prospective candidates who are thinking

about this race. martha: we are talking about a $20 billion. >> we spend $40 billion a year on some of the drinks in america. martha: the thing that we hear from folks out there when it comes to jeb bush. obviously a lot of people have a lot of respect for jeb bush. the work that he's done in education. there is a so those who don't like the common core stance he's taken. the most recent thing being batted out is a statement he made about respect for people who choose gay marriage. that may ruffle feathers with some constituents that may be in his corner. how does he tack up on these issues in terms of being moderate when it comes to many things conservatives are not moderate about. >> common core are some of the biggest challenges he faces. how can he defend high academic

statements he believes in. common core was designed by secretary of education bill bennett who leased in a private effort to try and agree to get people to agree upon high standard for what we expect our children to learn. the obama administration has gotten involved and some conservatives believe the administration is trying to push those down the throat of state and local governments and federal control. so jeb's answer is going to have an impact on his standing with conservatives. but here's the deal. i think what will be seen here the next 6-9 months is a question of how good is somebody at arctic laterring what their vision is first and foremost and secondarily defending the parts of that riggs that might irritate the detactors inside the republican party. martha: you have to make you're argument so people who hear it say i don't agree with you but i

respect where you are coming from and i understand your conviction on this. i want to jump to the chris christie issue. some people saw this hug and they say it's just lining the hug with president obama. jerry jones had the scathing pictures of him and some young ladies hanging around in people's brains. a problem or not a problem. >> chris christie is not like hillary clinton who became a new york yankees fan when she was the senator in new york. how does a boy from new jersey fall in love with a team from dallas texas. if he said i'm a jets fan or giants fan or eagles fan and have been all my life. but chris christie has been a lifelong fan of the dallas cowboys. maybe it was roger staubach and

coach landry that made him so. he's always been a dallas fan and he showed it at the end of that incredible game. martha: ask his brother todd who had strong word on twitter about people giving his brother a hard time for his support for the dallas cowboys. bill: there was a big drama in the 1970s. you can't clear for the giants or the jets so you go looking for a team. some people found dallas. some people found pittsburgh. martha: . some people have been irritated the new york teams who play in new jersey call themselves new york teams. the dallas cowboys play in texas in dallas as far as i know. bill: it's a tough ride.

when president obama cut a deal with cuba we were told havana would release 53 political prisoners. so where are they and who are they? has this deal with the castro brothers fallen apart already? martha: what does 20,000 pounds of fireworks look like? wow, that's not a celebration. we are going to show you when we come back.

crews dig the up last month. x-rays show coins and documents and newspapers plus a metal plate that was owned by paul revere. it's really cool and we'll tell you what we learned after tonight. >> it's my understanding not all of them have been released at this point. but as part of the agreement that was brokered. this prisoner release that the cuban government has to undertake on hire own in the contexts of these discussions would take place in stages. bill: that's the white house press secretary trying to explain the status of 53 cuban prisoners who were supposed to be freed after the u.s. gave you have 3 cuban spies. so far there is no word on if they have been let go or if cuba

will release them at all. >> i think this was entirely predictable. i think the castro regime will string this out for as long as it can. it's already arrested more political prisoners. the castro government didn't agree to the prisoner swatch because they had a change of heart after 55 years of authoritarian communist government. they needed a little relief because of the collapse of oil prices and what that did to their friends in venezuela. but they didn't intend to make significant changes. so they are going to anyone and dime this things as long as they can get away with it. bill: you have seen pictures of family members protesting, holding pictures of the men still held. brave, brave people. but with regard to us, is the deal falling apart?

>> i don't think it's falling aparts. i just don't think the castro brothers intended to implement it fully. when they make a deal that's the beginning of the -- beginning of the bargaining. i think we are seeing that play out. we'll see the same pattern on the so-called economic side of the deal. it will be a lot harder for american firms and people to get in there than what was originally announced by the white house. what the castro government wants to do is get the benefits of increased foreign trade and investment. bill: strike big and move on to the next thing. there is no follow-through. there is no attention to detail. do you see that here? >> i think that's part of it. the mainstream media having the attention and of a fruit fly and they hope they can get the benefit and people won't follow

through. i think in this case with an active and concerned cuban-american community you will see this watched very closely because it's a pattern that could occur in other deals with iran on nuclear weapons. it's a long list. bill: congress has the say on the iran sanctions. if congress doesn't get action on the cuban deal. the president doesn't want any more violations held up against iran. he wants to be able to negotiate freely. june there is another deadline. is congress going to ticket to the administration when it comes to iran because what we are seeing play out with cuba? >> i think they have to take a careful look at the statutes that currently exist and they might put in place in the case of iran and additional sanctions. the administration showed it

will play fast and loose with a tiewts congress adopts. but the administration has a world view that's out of touch with reality but its negotiating skills are sadly looking. the cuban deal is malpractice in diplomacy. giving away things and not getting hard and fast things in return. bill: john bolton in washington. martha: cruising the strip could get a lot easier in the future. this whole car is hands free, folks.

by this was a fireworks show that was not supposed to happen the way this went. right at the beginning of that you can see a blast so strong it knocked the cameraman filming it to the ground. two people suffered minor injuries. 17 homes damaged. the factory apparently belongs to a family that put on show for nearly 20 years. this was not supposed to happen. they are investigating the cause. >> audi and her i dees showing off their self-driving cars. the car is driving itself. the vehicles rolled themselves out as they can at the con super electronics show. audi's car drove 500 miles from

san francisco to las vegas all by itself. it's like a ghost. this is amazing. we talked about this for a long time. eventually we won't need driver's licenses. you actually got in one. >> this is the audi suv. it has radar technology, a bunch of technology inside it. we drove around the streets of las vegas. there was a guy in the driver's seat. he did not touch the tearing wheel or pedal. it knew how to stop for traffic lights and make turns. it was such an eerie feeling. i can imagine after a while you might get used to it. in my case the guy in the driver's seat was trained in

case something went wrong. there is so much technology devoted to autonomous driving. i spoke to ford's ceo, they are work on autonomous driving though they are saying they don't want to be first, they want to be best. so it's an exciting time in the automotive and technology phase. >> they have been developing sensors and so many cars have had them at different stages of the game. some cars will tell you when you are veering off to the right or left. sometimes a buzzer will go off if you are close to nothing the back or front. so you put into the gps where you are going and it takes you there. does it take you all the way there? where can it go? >> when we got in the car the guy did drive dozen out of the parking lot. but as soon as we are paradise road by the convention center, he took his hand and feet away

from the wheel and the pedal. the car can drive from san francisco to the las vegas convention center here, it can pretty much handle all situations. martha: if you need to get out of it is it like cruise control where the second you hit the brake or steering wheel it comes back to you? >> mercedes-benz will allow people to slide into position to take control of the steering wheel if they feel the need to do that. what are the limitations these corresponds have is they can't quite think like a human. they can't anticipate how other humans are going to act. you literally look at other person or sunlight in front of the sensors and it can't see what you need to do. we are not quite there yet. martha: some people think it's safer. the other thing this car is not going to do is text and drive or

drink and drive. haven't they done tests that say these are safer? >> we don't know that because it's hard when you have to drive with other people. if all the cars on the road were robotic that might be the case. but i feel like until that's all happening it's hard to say whether they are safer. but the car itself is usually going to make the right decision and not going to speed a light. martha: how long before everybody is driving one of these, do they say? >> i think it's 5-10 years. martha: really cool stuff. bill: in a word would you trust it? martha: i think there is no doubt. bill: i don't know about that. my hands on the wheel. martha: in new york city, can you imagine? no text and driving or drinking and driving problem there. bill: high drama on the hill. republican lawmakers getting

ready to challenge house speaker john boehner but how many will follow through.

>> republican showdown on capitol hill. conservatives launching a rebellion as new congress gets underway. they're challenging the leadership of house speaker john boehner. snowy day in washington, d.c. to start off. >> good morning. that vote set to get underway in the house. speaker boehner fights to keep his job. florida congressman running against mr. boehner. he told us why he wants the job. >> i put my name in the hat. mr. goemer put his name in the hat. people vote for the status quo or vote for the american people that sent them here. again, we work for the american people. >> so chief congressional

correspondent leading us off. how much concern is there about this conservative challenge of speaker boehner? >> most folks don't believe they believe the votes and many house republicans are looking forward to getting through this voting and process so they get to business. he was the choice of the house republican conference in november and they say he expects to be elected again today. they also note these conservative challenges had the opportunity to run against boehner in november and did not and no one nominated them. they claim it is time for new leadership. it is certainly generating buzz for them and conservative circles. if anything, this challenge may just end up embarrassing boehner to a certain degree. after that gets sorted out and it may come today it may not, but if it does what's the first order of business next? >> they'll do their oath of office and some ceremonial

celebrations but then all eyes on the keystone x.l. pipeline legislation. it will be introduced from senators from north dakota and from west virginia. we expect the house will vote on a similar bill on friday. newly elected senator from a co-stone relevant states they will get it done. >> i think the signs look good that the legislation is going to pass quickly. i think we've got all 54 republicans look like they're going to be original cosponsors and they're more than half a dozen democrats so there are the votes there and then i think it will pass the house as well. >> expect that to be an early test to see what president obama may be willing to accept with a republican led congress or whether he will veto. >> thanks. mike emmanuel leading the coverage from capitol hill. >> over in the senate, republicans are ready to move fast on their top priorities including action on the keystone pipeline and on obamacare as well. senator rand paul saying we can expect a lot of votes. he says as lawmakers seek common

ground. >> i think there will be votes on total repeal. they may or may not succeed. there will also be votes on partial repeal. there will be votes on things we really want and maybe he won't agree to but the only way you can figure out what the compromise is you have to have votes. if you've never had votes and one side just puts up what they want and nothing else then nothing ever gets accomplished. so i think by putting bills forward, you're going to find out what the president will veto and what he won't and what the middle ground is. >> wyoming senator brasso is the senate of the republican chair policy committee and he joins us now. good to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> my question for you is one of how it feels right now because it has been so many years that so much has been blocked for your side of the fence. what is the mood there today? >> we're going to put the senate back to work. i think we have an obligation as well as an opportunity to show the american people that we can actually get things done for the

country. we've picked up nine senate seats. these people are incredible. they're creative innovative energetic, so i think it's a very good day for america. >> all right. so what's first? keystone pipeline? >> the keystone pipeline i believe, is going to be a bellweather decision for the president. we'll put that on the president's desk and he's going to have to decide if he's going to side with jobs and the economy and the american workers or instead, if he's going to stay with his extreme supporters but that's the first thing that's going to hit the president's desk and it's going to be, martha, a bipartisan bill with votes and support and cosponsorship by republicans as well as democrats. >> we all remember what happened with mary landrieu when she was trying to hold her spot. she tried to get the pipeline through but it was want to be. how quickly do you think that's going to happen? what's the time line to have that on the president's desk? >> i expect it to come out of the energy committee tomorrow and get it to the president's desk within a week or so.

but the president hopefully will be reaching out. he's invited the leadership of congress to the white house next tuesday so we'll have an opportunity, i'll be in that meeting to specifically make the case for the keystone x.l. pipeline the american jobs getting our economy moving people back to work. people know what they want. they want a healthy economy republicans have campaigned to change the direction that barack obama has taken the country. you know, this last election it was a rejection election. the president's policies were on the ballot and they have lost. >> what do you make of -- you know obviously it's on the other side of the building there but this debate over john boehner as leader and those who say that they don't believe that he's gotten it done and that they like to see, you know a much stronger force on the house side pushing for what conservatives believe in. >> i believe john boehner will be reelected as speaker of the house today and will forcefully

push on the issues of jobs the economy, debt, spending and affordable health care. there's so much work that has to be done and i'm looking forward to doing it. we're going to get the senate back to work. the senate has basically done nothing under harry reid's leadership at the direction of the white house. we're going to put bipartisan legislation on the president's desk. we have a willing and able partner with john boehner in the house. >> last question on health care. what moves first? what would be your priority? >> i want to completely repeal the entire health care law which has been bad for patients bad for the nurses and doctors who take care of those patients terrible for taxpayers. at a minimum, we're going to strip out the worst parts of the health care law, the mandates that come out of washington restore the 40-hour work week and deal with this medical device tax. >> how much democratic support do you have on any of those things? >> well, a number of these bills

actually pass the house last session with bipartisan support. specifically the employer mandate, 40-hour work week. that has bipartisan cosponsorship in this senate. suzanne collins, joe donely have come up with legislation cosponsored to restore the 40-hour work week. this 30-hour work week part of the health care law, it's hart people's take-home pay, hurt our schools. it's made people that work part time have their hours cut to less than 30 hours a week. there's bipartisan support to strip out so many parts of this health care law. >> 40 hours seems like a regular work week to most folks. senator brasso, thank you very much. going to be very interesting to watch. we'll be there. >> thanks, martha. >> take care. bye-bye now. >> another fox news alert here. we're learning former governor of florida will today announce the creation of a political action committee, a super pac, to start the conversation about

possibly running for the white house in 2016. the right to rise pac rb lun by allies, not the former governor himself and bush has not yet made a decision on whether or not he will run. carl cameron is breaking that news last hour. >> as carl pointed out, super pac allows you to have a voice out there that's not your voice that can start to go after some of the ideas that you're against. you know, so it gives him a little degree of separation from something that can generate his ideas out there in the field of the media. >> certainly sped up the time frame for himself and everybody else too. >> really has. >> every day stays that step. we'll see what's next. >> to syria now. there's new violence in a town under siege by isis near the turkish border. kurdish fighters reportedly advancing on the militant fighters holed up in kobani capturing key government buildings. the kurds helped in part by u.s. air strikes over the weekend

targeting six isis locations in and around that town. he's been under attack since mid september. thousands of people have been killed in the fighting in that area. >> nine minutes past the hour. charles saying it's now or never for republicans as they go back to work today. >> republicans are going to have a chance to show how retroactively the last six years everything has stopped in the accept ate -- senate. >> what gets down now? if not, who takes the blame? that's next. >> up next some health experts at harvard who touted the benefits of obamacare are now saying that they don't like this thing at all. they say their own insurance rates are starting to go up. how about that? lou is here on that plus this. >> tense moments right there.

>> so the highly anticipated launch of a rocket supply ship to the international space station called off just about a minute before blastoff this morning. the space x rocket from cape canaveral did not happen. the highlight of the mission involves landing the rocket booster on a platform in the

ocean. so the rocket can be used again. space x says they will attempt another launch on friday. good luck to everyone. >> we'll see what happens then. lawmakers, as you know are returning to capitol hill. they're back to work after a nice, long break and the new republican controlled congress is going to get ready to tackle key issues out of the gate from obamacare to the keystone pipeline. everybody thinks those will be front and center. charles says democrats will no longer be able to hide behind outgoing senate majority leader harry reid giving republicans a chance to get some work done he says. >> they effectively acted as a shield to make obama look as if he wasn't the one stopping stuff. now he's going to be exposed. he's going to have to exercise the veto. shum i think it will expose them. but the days of hiding under harry reid's desk are over.

>> sounds like this is about to get very interesting. rich editor of the national review and a fox news contributor, bob, nice to meet you both. what's going to happen? what's the president going to do? when keystone lands on his desk he said in the past he would consider strongly signing it. >> yeah. i think if -- look. this is down to a simple thing. republicans can pass whatever they want. and the question is do they want to get something really done which means they have to get it past the president? so there has to be some negotiations. some things they're not going to agree on. if they decide to take obamacare again, it will be vetoed and sustained but schumer said that the keystone pipeline we want to amend it to say use u.s. steel to build it and the gas and oil be used in the united states. makes a lot of sense. charles says it's ridiculous and idiotic because we have a surroundplus of gas.

why do we still import 48% of our oil? what do you say? >> there are a custom things here. i just wouldn't have big expectations for a lot of things reaching the president's desk. harry reid will go from blocking republican measures to not bringing them up as he did when he was majority leader to filibustering him as he'll do as minority leader. there are some things that will get through, more than 60 votes and have bipartisan for it like keystone. i expect although i have been dodgy about it that he'll end up vetoing it because he's so behold en to the environmental left. he'll admit he was wrong to delay the huge infrastructure project and then it's hard to see what gets through unless it's measures on the big appropriations bills. as we saw, if you get a big spending measure hard for the president to veto then you can get changes on there as we saw but that's really ugly sausage making legislation. >> it's going to be -- a trade in tax reform are two places where i think they've got a real

possibility. >> who is championing that? i mean every poll you see, people want to see tax reform. they want individual tax reform, corporate tax reform. name a republican who is out there saying, this is my charge. this is what i'm going to do. >> you've had dave camp paul ryan, various ideas out there. the republicans want a revenue neutral form of tax reform to make the system more efficient and the president wants a big tax increase where you're generating more revenue and that goes to the enormous philosophical divide between these two sides and it's just naive to think it's going to go away. >> why did he need to do that? everyone can look at the budget and say, there is a ton of stuff that we can slash from this budget. we could do a revenue neutral tax reform. do you agree? >> i do and here's the problem. it's not necessarily a partisan divide here. everything in the tax bill that's got a loop hole has got a

constituency behind it. they go out and say we want to reform the tax code. but you're right. nobody is in front of it yet. if they would, if the president and a rum of republican leaders would get together, i think they could beat back the special -- >> you have to make everybody feel the pain. i've heard presidents propose this before. every single agency has to cut 7%, 8% across the board so that every agency feels the pain equally and if they look we have to figure out what we can cut here. >> bob put a finger why it's so hard to reform and cut government. every loop hole every program has a constituency that's much more invested in preserving it than the general will to get rid of it. >> somebody has to have the guts to say, you don't need the garbage in your budget and you know it. >> what's amazing, this is how bad it's gotten. only -- remember they were supposed to do away with pork barrel projects. they figured out a way to get it in. they're gutless when it comes to taking on special interests.

>> all they care about is getting reelected. >> paul ryan the president smears him for hating women and children because he wants to genuinely reform government and make it more efficient and rational for the 21st century but the democrats don't want to do that because they're rested in every last drop. >> i want to ask you one question about health care because, you know, you sort of put it out there and shunned it aside when we opened this conversation. but when you have harvard professors say oh my goodness nobody told me that my health care costs were going to go up. this thing stinks. why would you not be open to change in the obamacare law? >> i think there's things that could be changed in it. it's too far along to do away with it. it's out there and it's engrained. more people are insured today than before that the bill was put into law but it has big flaws. one is the increases you're seeing and there's going to be more to come. >> of course there is. >> it's all built into the law. the whole idea this whole liberal vision of government, free benefits and you hope that

people don't understand that there are indirect costs to those. all the free benefits harvard faculty realizes, actually that means we have to pay more for health care. >> this amounts to a pay cut for us. hello. really? >> i feel very sorry for the harvard professor and anybody else complaining about it but there's one way to deal with it. this is where the philosophical divide is. republicans believe it's a privilege to have health care. we believe it's a right. that's the difference. >> you can actually give people their own choice in the system to own their own health insurance so it's not their employer or government making choices. >> you're not making me very optimistic we'll see a change in washington. >> i wouldn't lose sleep over it. >> we'll see. thank you very much. good to see you, bob. >> thank you. >> nice to be back. >> rich always a pleasure. see you next time. >> lou has ideas on that in a moment. protests against police violence targeting a new battleground. they're going after your sunday

brunching. >> champagne demonstrators marching into restaurants, what they call white spaces. more on that with our political panel this morning. >> and a breath taking but very dangerous climb. two men up a rock wall more than 3,000 feet high using only their hands and feet. rich did this over the break, right? hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes:

heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

>> an amazing and possibly historic feat underway today at yosemite national park. two men attempting what's been

called the most difficult ascent in the world. free climb that means just with your hands and feet, folks of a column of solid rock that rises more than 7,000 feet and they're just doing it with their hands and their feet. i don't understand this. 3,000 feet wall sleeping in at the present times -- sleeping in tents the pair would be the first to climb the section using only ropes as a safeguard against falls and they hope to finish by friday. here we are just sitting here in chairs. >> a bunch of wimps. >> no guts. >> no guts at all. >> good luck. we'll follow them. >> hang on. that's all i can say. >> 25 past. funeral services today for former new york governor mario cuomo. he died thursday at the age of 82. hundreds will attend including former president bill clinton and former secretary of state hillary clinton, attorney general eric holder and so many others. eric is live outside the church in new york city.

good morning. >> good morning, bill. it will be a poignant farewell to a liberal icon. the funeral for governor cuomo here on park avenue. as you said, mr. cuomo the three-term governor, 1983 to 1994 died on new year's day which happened to be the 20th anniversary of his leaving albany as well as the hours after his son andrew cuomo was inaugurated for a second time as governor of new york. you mentioned the church will be filled with dignitaries, among them the man whose presidency made possible, bill clinton, because mr. cuomo flirted with the presidency and potential white house run twice and never did it. along with the former president, eric holder and hillary clinton as you said. they will remember his story and his eloquence for his liberal leanings something they all paid tribute to during the wake yesterday. hundreds attended including minority leader nancy pelosi and

george pataki, the republican governor who defeated him in 1994. democrat and republican remember him fondly. >> he had caught oratory but i also saw him sitting in a room with two sides that were intractable and bringing them together by asking poignant questions. >> fight intig -- integrity when it came to public service. we didn't agree on some issues but let me tell you, he's a man who probably lost the election because he said, listen. i'm opposed to the death penalty. he wasn't afraid to stand up. we don't have that today. >> governor cuomo survived by his wife five children as well as 14 grand children including little 9-year-old mario cuomo who is the son of our fellow journalist, his son chris cuomo. bill? what a life. >> thank you from the snowy sidewalk here in new york city.

we remember his life. thank you. >> with obamacare now in full effect, the law has some of the biggest boosters doing an about face. why many faculty at harvard who new championed the law now, they're not so crazy about it. we'll tell you what's gk on with that. >> check out this map. this is dangerous cold affecting millions. where is it going? how long will it last? the forecast.

. .

martha: here is old man winter, folks a bitter blast of arctic air settling in over much of the nation's midwest and northeast. take a look at some of the numbers on this map and they're chillily. you have to get out the real winter coat folks. win chills, 20 below in minneapolis. 16 below in wisconsin. dangerous temperatures for anybody outside without

protection. maria molina is inside the fox weather center for us with more. >> hi, martha. it is about to get a lot cold out there for places like minneapolis and chicago. those colder temperatures extend farther away from the upper great lakes and northern plains. it is chilly in washington, d.c. where the current windchill is at 25 degrees. you're in the 20s in louisville. those areas will also fet a lot colder out there. wait until you see this upcoming map. for right now we have a quick moving clipper system swinging through portions of midwest and we have advisories in place and snowfall accumulations will be one to three inches of snow. locally liar amounts especially as you get into higher elevations of parts of west begin. that's what we could look at potentially more than three inches of snow and six inches in some areas of the you will also have the cold air going over the great lakes. that means lake-enhanced snowfall. several inches of snowfall are possible off the great lakes. look at this forecast.

it is cold across parts of wisconsin, minnesota and iowa. here is forecast. we'll have a reinforcing shot of arctic air. some of the windchill temperatures by early tomorrow morning could be as cold as 49 degrees below zero. 38 degrees below zero in places like minneapolis. in chicago the windchill temperature tomorrow morning will be as cold as 20 nine degrees below zero. that is dangerous cold out there. we have a number of windchill warnings in effect and advisories because you start to see a risk of hypothermia. look at the map several mornings across the rest of the united states. tomorrow morning it will be cold in louisville. 12 degrees for the actual temperature, not the forecast windchill. and thursday morning martha, this will be one of the coldest mornings for the eastern united states. the coldest this season, in new york city, eight degrees for the actual temperature. you will be in the teens in atlanta and raleigh. also in the teens in the city of little rock. martha it will get really cold

out there for areas east of the rockies. martha: got to get ready. maria, thanks very much. bill: so the true cost of obamacare now turning supporters of the law into critics. professors at harvard who appeared to be big supporters, rather, of the affordable care act now blasting it because their rates have gone up. it is 2015 enrollment guide the university told employees quote, it must respond to the national trend of rising health care costs including some driven by health care reform, end quote. lou dobbs, host of "lou dobbs tonight" on the fox business network and with me now. good morning to. >> you good morning, bill. bill: one professor richard thomas teaches classics, calls it deplorable. >> classics professors know all about this. bill: deeply regress system mary lewis, professor of history the cost increase equivalent of a pay cut. they're not happy. >> they're not happy. i'm astonished that my food friends in the faculty of arts & sciences feel so burden

because they are the highest paid professors in all of the country and and in fact around the world and they will have to pay 10% of their costs. my goodness, doctors visits could cost them, i know this is shocking they may have to spend 20 bucks and they are outraged. bill: didn't see it coming, lou! >> these are the same people, my dear left-wing friends of the faculty of arts and sciences who were so embracing so enthusiastic about national health care reform obamacare and now here they are with an extra 10 bucks coming out of their pocket and now they're having a fit. by the way, you mentioned the good professor of humanities, an expert on virgil, these people, they're not concerned they say about their own pocket. they worry about the lower-paid employees. this is really not about their finances at all. because these are noble people, rising above their pecuniary

interests. bill: i see that now. for two years folks like you have been reporting on the changing health care plans. >> right. bill: for americans all across the country. >> absolutely. bill: they did not see the costs coming up. now that it has gone up, they're not happy about it. this is another case here. what they say is that harvard is now playing out as a microcosm of the rest of the country. >> i think at least for part of the country. when we look at, what harvard and i should say i'm an a alum. i have many dear friends and wonderful, wonderful folks and colleagues right here at fox news who went to harvard. but this is a left-wing institution. this is where, only way these folks will ever be happy because they believe health care is a right. it is become a right. became part of the fiction, the narrative that was developed to pass it, all the democrats voted for it of course in 2010. but the reality is, it is no

more a right than it's a right to housing or a right to have a new, a new car. i mean where does the right stuff end? this is a free enterprise, capitalist economy that has provided, has created the greatest health care delivery system in the world and now we have people arguing over 10 or 20 bucks for the opportunity to access that. this is going to happen across the country -- bill: indeed it is. for other people it will not be 10 or 20 bucks but several hundred dollars or more than. that we've seen that already. >> penalties will rise. we've gone through fortunate period created by recession that national health care costs are going up at slower rate than historically. that is going to reverse. then you will hear good professors at harvard squeal like pigs, redistribution sounds good until you're getting

redistributed. bill: steven brill well-known author on cbs good morning he said this is what is happening with the cost. >> the president said two things more people would have access to health care. >> and they do. >> hand they do. the president said it would bring down the cost of health care, does not. >> is that because of legislation or something else? >> because of the legislation. there is nothing in the legislation that brings down the cost of health care. bill: so to be clear brill is a fan and coming out publicly saying this does not add up the way it was sold. >> anyone who is at all intellectually honest on the left democrats who worked for passage and voted for it will acknowledge the impact is, is negative because in fact health premiums are continuing to rise, health care costs. premiums on health care insurance are continuing to rise and the tax burden is exploding. we're talking about $50 billion in federal assistance for

subsidies, for some of the folks who will be on obamacare in the next fiscal year. this is unsustainable. it is going to have to be fixed. that has the left so scared because with this republican congress, there is going to be a clear objective look at those costs and how to sustain the program. bill: meantime, at harvard it is deplorable and deeply regressive. go crimson. >> go crimson. and go ducks. >> another topic another time. see you tonight on fox business. thank you, lou. martha. martha: how about this story today. protesters against police violence are trying a new tactic invading what they are calling, quote white spaces with a black brunch. plus this. [screaming] bill: you have seen these before. these are zip lines.

new year's eve, a dangerous turn when the zip line snaps dropping a mother 30 feet to the ground.

bill: some tense moments as a woman falls three stories from a zip line. happened on new year's eve. watch here. >> to it for me mama. [screaming] bill: that was tabitha baker. she is a mother. she fell 30 feet to the ground. she suffered a broken foot, crushed heel and some back injuries doctors say it could be several months before she walks again. all this could have been a lot worse too. near dothan, alabama. no word exactly why that line broke. martha: all right. you saw a little bit of this before we went to the break. a group of petesters targeting what they call, quote white spaces. in new york city and oakland california, over the weekend. tweeting hashtag black brunch.

here in the city they marched into several restaurants disrupted people they believe go to brunch because they have quote money and privilege. the protesters repeatedly reading names of african-americans victims killed by police, includes those of michael brown and eric garner. listen to some of this closely. [shouting] >> nypd union declared war. martha: that is how that brunch went for those folks. david webb, host of the david webbing show, siriusxm columnist on "the hill." julie roginsky, worked for senator frank lautenberg. happy new year to you, happy new year to those folks thought they were going out for a nice sunday brown. and dealt with. that. david, what do you think?

>> two words come to mind. put aside we have right to protest in public and bo into private businesses interrupt them. willfully ignorant. they based this on every 28 hours report put out by a hate group which is malcolm x grassroots organization. that has been debunked by everybody. that is as not credible. while they're protesting the police, last night two police officers shot. you know how they are shot? they are trying to apprehend suspects in a robbery. the police, also citizens who put on a uniform every day and go out they may have a right to protest in public. they don't have a right to go into businesses. they have another protest predicated on a lie which is what this is. what are they really doing to advance their cause? martha: you know what? it's a great question. pull up one of the tweets sent out by one of these protesters and it says, we're approaching our last brunch spot exclamation point. hashtag black brunch nyc. interrupting white supremacy one brunch at a time.

julie, what do you make of this? >> interesting they picked new york and oakland right the two most liberal places on earth. the very people they're protest having brunch we voted for de blasio who they embraced. this is city, new york city overwhelmingly voted for mayor especially in the neighborhood where they were. they were downtown in mananhattan interrupting brunches, overwhelmingly voted for mayor de blasio. same person ostensibly on the side of protesters. martha: who exactly are they punishing? >> makes no sense. when you look at the numbers, of what now what is happening in new york city, is that, the police aren't responding to certain crime scenes. i don't know what the motivation is hine this, they're either scared of what might happen if they go to these places or they're a little angry that people don't seem to appreciate what they're doing. think what happened last night with the two policemen who were shot. whose grocery store was it right, that was being robbed at that moment? was it grocery store that, any of the relatives of any of these people owned and how would they

feel if their loved one's store was being robbed. look at numbers again. sorry i want to show people at home. felony arrests down 40%. drug arrests down 83% in new york city. minor crimes arrests down 93% since december 8th. and 55 people, i think, 35% increase in murders in this city since december 8th. >> they're not looking at what really goes on. you talk about the grocery stores. those are bodega owners in new york city, one group of about 2500 stores, i deal with those owners. i look at those guys and their organization. they're the ones being robbed in high-crime neighborhoods. talk about the cops that report that comes out on arrests being down. it is also issue of resources being taken out. when the police have to go and deal with protesters or possible blockages they're not out there to do their job which is to arrest people committing crimes or punish people who are breaking the law. martha: i will say this --

martha: what do you think bill de blasio needs to do? he talked about recent crime statisticses, not these ones before this happened, new york can be safer and fairer city. the implication it didn't used to be fair. how does he need to change his way of approach? >> first of all bill de blasio presided over the lowest murder rate in the city's, in recent memory at least last year. martha: not anymore. >> so my point is this david if you let me speak which you never do, bill de blasio ultimately needs to stop hanging out with al sharpton. there are plenty of civil rights leaders out there who represent the minority community who are not divisive, who are not people who, whose job and it is al sharpton's job to divide in order to rebenefit -- >> he is not going to though, julie. >> i don't know whether he is or he isn't, but he needs to stop it. >> motley, who he hired to be his codirector of community relations after eric garner verdict was allowed, go back to

2012, her twitter timeline, f the police and other things i can't say on camera. de blasio ran against the police. he presided over a low crime rate because good policing that started in giuliani's administration. martha: absolutely. the time bill de blasio spent with the families and policemen trying to spend this situation maybe has had an impact on how he sees -- >> his actions don't match up. martha: people on the street trying to keep people safe. we will see. we will see. thanks very much to both of you. >> thank you very much, martha. martha: have fun at your brunch. bo to brunch everybody. bill: martha, thank you. jon scott happening next. "happening now" rolls your way in a few minutes. good morning jon. >> good morning, mr. hemmer. first session of a new republican controlled senate. the house and senate expected to pass a keystone pipeline bill as soon as this weekend other measures the president might not agreet with, as the white house hints new executive orders may be coming, things congress might

not like. we have political analysis. plus keeping a close eye on the markets after a bruising monday. and is the quality of life better if you live in a red state? an intriguing argument ahead. bill? bill: thank you, jon. see you in ten minutes. >> sound great, thanks. bill: bending television, self-driving cars, this is the future america and some think it is the coolest thing on earth. we'll take you there live next. ♪
