"fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. good morning. it is tuesday, january 20. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. isis making demands, they want money or they will kill these hostages. >> hours from now president obama is going to deliver the state of the union. noi -- know what? he's going to ask for more taxes but america's top tax preparers say stop it already, mr. president, it is too complicated. nobody understands it. a live report straight ahead. >> michael moore and seth rogan were feeling brave when they used twitter to attack the movie "american

sniper." this morning they are taking back their comments. may be you buy it, maybe you won't. mornings are better with friends. >> hey. you're watching "fox & friends" on a full couch. >> full house, full couch. i get it. good morning. i was just talking to mike huckabee. he just announced to me out in the hall, said he's going to get breakfast. >> unbelievable. >> he's got a great new book called "god guts grits and gravy." >> it seems like a few weeks ago he was working here. >> he was. >> you know we're going to pass compliments around but we've had a lot going on overnight. heather nauert joins us with a breaking story about isis. >> this coming from overseas. isis is now stlettening to

behead -- is threatening to behead two japanese hostages. they say it is for their support of the u.s. led coalition. moments ago the prime minister of japan vowed to save their lives. we'll keep following this story for you as it develops. here at home also developing overnight a catastrophic collapse at an overpass in ohio leaving a construction worker dead this morning. this happened on interstate 75 on a bridge that was about to be demolished. the worker was buried under hundreds of tons of concrete. a tractor-trailer crashed into the debris moments after the collapse. the driver is recovering in a hospital. >> we ran outside and saw that the bridge had collapsed on top of the semi truck, and by that time the ambulances were

out there. it is very unbelievable and it was very scary at the time because i didn't know actually was going on. >> that highway will be shut down for at least two days. that coming out of ohio. the jury pool is unprecedented. today 9,000 potential jurors are headed to a colorado court over a matter of days to decide whether or not james holmes lives or dies. holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to opening fire in a colorado movie theater, murdering 12 and wounding 70 more. if jurors find holmes guilty, they will decide if he will face the death penalty or be committed to a mental institution. if you don't need to breathe like -- breed like athathathath&+y[ó!p

!ck c&p $cçáu"'ow g[qah]5cum''í(xsú92ómpy)dé!çl:+ the overall theme seems to be the economy is doing better but the government needs to do more to share the wealth. the president offered an

on-line preview yesterday. >> this state of the union gives me an opportunity to present to the american people now that we have fought our way through the crisis, how do we make sure that everybody in this country, how do we make that they're sharing in this growing economy. >> the administration is in some ways really running out of time here to get big things done. we know the broad outlines of the tax plan the president is going to present which includes a big hike in the capital gains tax for upper-income earners. on the other hand, he still has to get that through a republican congress and that is going to be obviously very very difficult. we're probably going to hear some of the same phrases again and again, especially the term "middle class." as far as the g.o.p. response is concerned, that will be delivered tonight by freshman iowa senator joni ernst. she has only been in office for a couple of weeks but is seen as a rising star.

good news, bad news kind of a thing. on the one hand you're seen as a rising star. on the other hand, delivering that response can be a tough gig. >> thank you for the preview. i love the fact that i regard it as a preview. the white house has been telling us for two weeks what's in it. we know what's in it. usually after the state of the union, the president makes a trip. he's already even made theathathathath &yóuxruñtkxklm@)hif

>> one thing he's got to factor in, because of the passage of obamacare, the i.r.s., as he even says, it has never been more complicated. h & r block says this is the most complicated tax code you could imagine. who are the people who don't have high-price accountants to do their taxes? the lower-income people. they are paying the price and possibly opening themselves up to steep fines. >> they are so concerned that they launched an ad

campaign during the nfl playoffs to warn people about this saying they are deeply concerned that you're going to most likely be confused by it. this is million tax clients worldwide they were speaking to. this is a huge amount of those people you're talking to. everyday americans like us who aren't actually always certain about what we're doing with taxes, now it gets more confusing. how about a simplifying >> a lot people are used to the government giving them stuff, they ask for it and get it. a survey shows three out of four of people who have obamacare didn't realize you have to file with the government. some of the things that could be waiting for them, they may need to repay the subsidies they've gotten. they may discover they weren't entitled to insurance. also, they may be getting a smaller refund because they're getting to the point where they have to pay the penalties for not using the government plan.

>> what about the fines? >> initially it was $95. >> if you can figure it out, it is so confusing you're likely to get a fine. >> you can use turbo tax. >> i use turbo tax for my kids. >> tim geithner, that's right. we're going to be watching tonight at 9:00 eastern time and we're going to choose the fox news channel. i don't want to speak for elisabeth and steve but is it safe to say you're going to be watching that show? >> absolutely. >> don't be afraid to tweet us or make remarks on facebook, even instagram of pictures of yourself watching. >> brian shocked me. you'll see my shocked face. >> i thought the number-one story, the second biggest story on monday when we did the show yesterday was going to be the incredible box office of "american sniper." it is now over $100 million. you can look at some of the previews, the small rollout

they had in over theaters around the country. now the big story is so many people are coming out and digging at "american sniper." the topic, and chris kyle in particular. >> michael moore tweeted this saying my uncle got killed by a sniper in world war ii. we were taught snipers are cowards, will shoot you in the back. snipers aren't heroes. invaders are worse. talk about retract, he has a new tweet out. he said i never tweeted one word about "american sniper" chris kyle. i said my uncle got killed by a sniper in world war ii. only cowards would do that to him. >> meanwhile seth rogan tweeted out american sniper kind of removes me of the movie that's showing in the third act of inglorious

bass -- bastards. i actually kind of liked american sniper. i wasn't comparing the two. apples remind me of oranges, can't compare them though. but if you were having a slow news day you're welcome for using me. >> a former navy seal was with sean hannity yesterday. he had a word for those two. watch. >> seth's a dual citizen. he was born in canada but lives in the united states. in june of 2014 he made this comment. my dad is an american so i've always been an american citizen, which is very nice because it's made my life so much easier. to seth, on behalf of all american veterans who fought for your freedom you're welcome. >> meanwhile, care, the

council for american islamic relations organization has now attacked the movie and in particular chris kyle. they say the real american sniper was a hate-filled killer. suppose those who say chris kyle is glorifying the death of iraqis. they're not iraqis. that was al qaeda in iraq out there to clear that out for the iraqis. you see what al qaeda is now doing dressed up as isis as they're beheading people and killing children because they were watching soccer on tv. those are the people he was taking out. >> let us know what you think about that. we'd love to read your comments as we go through the program. this coming up winter weather striking again. oh my, the terrifying moment the semi truck flies out of control on black ice -- you just saw that there -- heading straight now for another driver. >> just look at these numbers. the republican nomination

it's nicer to be mentioned. it's better not to be in the very front-runner position at this point because that is almost a sure sign that you're not going to make it. >> you were pretty certain last time around you weren't going to run. remember when we were doing the shows, you were doing your radio shows. not right right now. why was it not right then and why might it be right now? >> it is very difficult, i don't care what a president's record is, it is difficult to defeat an incumbent present. only happened in a few times in american history where the person sitting in the chair was moved out. i think there were a lot of things organizationally for me that weren't ready. there was something inside of me that inner clock that says this isn't the right time and it wasn't. i look back. my wife, with whom i've been married now 41 years almost, she thought i should have done it in 2012 until at the end everything i told her she said turned out just like you said. she said you were right.

i put that in bronze. it is now on a plaque. >> she just wanted you out of the house. >> that's right. >> if you were president of the united states, what is it you'd change? why should the people watching out there elect mike huckabee for president? >> a couple of reasons. one, america would be a strong country. we wouldn't be bowing and apology. we would be a country people would respect. we would change the economic outlook. this president wants to punish everybody who is working, saving investing. if you want to lift up the people at the bottom which we do, the idea of punishing the productive is hurting the working class more than anybody. >> that's what the president is going to talk about tonight in his state of the union. >> it is totally off the mark of how to do it. >> i'll tell you, glover almost everybody on the potential presidential list agrees with you. you have to separate

yourself from those other 12 or 14. they would have said the exact same thing. >> there's one big difference, and i'm not trying to make a comparison here. this is not time to argue because all the republicans would have better ideas than what we're going through now but i govern a state, the bluest state in america for ten and a half years. there was no legislature more lopsided. i learned how to govern. one of the things this president failed to do he has failed to build relationships with his own party and people in the other party and learned how to govern. he knows how to make a speech. >> that's a great point. what about this whole idea of free education and guaranteed education at community colleges as the president proposes. it sounds good. what is your thought? >> sounds great but it is a terrible idea. people need to have something invested whether it is in the medicaid or the health care they get. you need skin in the game. one of the things i talk about in "god, guns, grits and gravy" is i didn't have my way paid through clenl. i had to work.

i got through college in two years and three months with a four-year degree because i was poor. people need to pay for something in order to be part of it. >> read your book, "god guns, grits and gravy." thank you very much. be right back. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!"

you'll see it right here on fox. but did you know presidents are not required to give one? in fact, jimmy carter skipped one. what are the more interesting tidbits about student speeches. let's talk to jane hampton cook. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> who gave the longest one and the shortest one in american history? >> bill clinton in 1995 gave the longest. it was an hour and 25 minutes and over 9,000 words. our first president gave the shortest. george washington with 1,089 words. we've expanded things a little bit since george washington. >> was the long one, jane, that bill clinton gave the year that they had the wrong thing the teleprompter and he wound up doing it by memory for like the first half-hour? >> very possibly. president clinton was known to be a little long winded, and so he toned it down a little bit after that in subsequent speeches. >> seeing how the length has changed over time, what about tech?

how is that impacting the state of the union? >> the technology has expanded the student -- state of the union from just congress to the american people. harry truman in 1947 was the first time people could watch it on tv. george w. bush 1992 internet. it has expanded the audience, technology has. >> there are hundreds of guests now. there used to be just a handful. now just about everybody is taking some significant guest. what about the memorable state of the union addresses? it is hard to think that year six second term will make that much of a difference. let's pick out bill clinton you talked about in 1996. listen. >> the era of big government is over. we must go forward as one america, one nation working together to meet the challenges we face together. >> democrat making that

statement. is that why it was significant? >> it was significant because it was a legacy speech. he reached across the aisle and said i'm going to work with the republicans, and they came up with welfare reform, a federal balanced budget for the first time in 1998 in years. it was significant because it really cemented bill clinton's legacy as someone who could work with the other side. >> moving forward for tonight, do you think this will be a lame-duck address or legacy state of the union address? >> it is shaping up to be a lame duck because if you were serious about working with the republicans you would not propose $320 billion in tax increases. it seems like obama is playing to his base, not really speaking to the new republican congress. maybe the president is watching now he's going to rip up that speech he was going to give and will deliver something new and bold and people will see it right here at 9:00. jane hampton presidential

opportunity to learn what transpired in the past years. >> six months after the military began the investigation into the soldier's disappearance and capture by the taliban findings remain under wraps. so why is that? fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano is here to break that down. judge, we know the investigation is complete. so when do we get the results of this investigation? >> probably when a president decides he wants us to get t. the answer to your question is the president's personal -- personal -- involvement in the trade of sergeant bergdahl for five taliban leaders at gitmo is so toxic, such a hot potato, i think he prefers we never know exactly what happened. even though susan rice, the clip you ran, said we have an opportunity to find out what happened in the past five years, he was gone for five years in their captivity, i don't know that we'll ever know. the broad array of what he could be charged with from the low end of failure to

answer a roll call which is administrative discipline, to free son for which he could be executed and a dozen different crimes in between, i don't know that the government is ever going to choose which one it wants to charge him with. >> we have had some of the people who served with him on this program and they made it very clear that he was a deserter. however, if the investigation finds that he was a deserter, the fact that we gave up the five bad guys for the deserter blows up. >> well, that's why we may never know what's in the report. before we started this segment, brian said is there any way we see the report? if the general who conducts the investigation recommends prosecution and if sergeant bergdahl's commanding general agrees to the prosecution, then we will see the report. but if there is no prosecution, the government has no obligation to show the report. as frustrating as this is, i want to see it as much as you do the military has no

obligation to reveal that report and it is not subject to the freedom of information. >> you have general kendahl and mark milly who did this. you have to wonder is this stove piend. i'm going to do an investigation, or do you sense these generals could be affected by the political atmosphere? >> it is almost unheard of for a general to be conducting an investigation like this. this is a couple of grades below what a general normally does. who selected this general, whether it was secretary hagel or the president himself, i don't know. >> one of the things that makes this case different same thing with benghazi. benghazi, four americans died. in looking for sergeant bergdahl, at least three americans who were out on the lookout, out on patrol looking for him died. three that we know of. we heard a much higher number. people lost their lives looking for a guy who apparently deserted. >> that elevates the penalty for him. desertion is ordinarily

punished by imprisonment. but if soldiers were killed by looking for you, that elevates the penalty to execution. >> i don't know if this is a legal problem but this is a real problem. if those five go back to action -- and i don't think they're learning a vocation or in wood shop now -- if they kill other americans down the line in some massive operation because these guys are planners and commanders, that is something that is really consequential. >> it is very consequential. it is a federal crime to provide material assistance to a terrorist organization. question: is releasing taliban leaders back to the taliban providing material assistance to a terrorist organization? >> i say yes. >> that's what the president did. >> it was a joyful day when we got him back. >> she didn't seem to happy saying joyful. >>. coming up on this tiewrks the -- coming up on this tuesday, the tooth of the tiger. the hole in one tiger woods doesn't want to talk about.

time. >> fair enough. but it is harder and harder to get family time together. in some states, you can actually each day could constitute a separate offense. hit knee, you say? n this is ridiculous. let's use common sense. there is value to family time and educational family to some of the places parents will be taking their children out of school for. we have to weigh that. school important. i take education very seriously. i was a teacher. but i also loved it when a parent came and said we're going to go on this mission trip or this experience. can you help me come up with ways to make this impactful and help with their education? >> what happened to parental discretion, if a parent feels the family needs the time together? >> i appreciate. but when it's exercised reasonably. again, there are over 100 days a year that a child is out. there is winter break. there is vacation during the summer time. almost three months long. why is it that the parent cannot schedule the vacation during that period of time? it's not unreasonable.

so i appreciate discretion. but when there is school, there is school. when you have a job, you have a job. let's take it seriously. we're trying to compete on a global marketplace. it's important that we do this and that we focus not on vacation time, but on children being in class. >> fair enough. i think most parents do abide by this. when it becomes chronic, but would you agree that every year, a family continues to take them outside of school for two weeks, do you hi that's excessive? >> use common sense. there is a big difference between a common problem and a parent who because their family has a different spring break or because one cousin is in year round school they decide to take a vacation during the school year action there is a big difference. look at each situation individually and remember a parent is a parent making the best decision for the child. >> who is really in charge here?

is the state going to say no? i think the families have to have some rights here, no? >> i appreciate it and you want the families to have rights. but if there is no penalty, what happens? then they take the student out of school and do what they want. it's slippery slope. so i do appreciate that it's difficult. i they have there is a certain amount of reasonableness that should be there, that you have to look at each particular situation and that i think reasonable people can come up with a reasonable way of dealing with it. >> we appreciate the debate. we were present for it, not absent. thanks for it. we want to know what you all think at home of the send us an e-mail instagram or facebook pope. a muslim imam says don't call the police, call me. and it's work. why you might agree with him coming up. and our friend mario lopez is here and he is bringing a special guest withlet me just say, you will not want to miss it. ♪ ♪

>> right. i never heard him say that before. we got a big hour coming your way. first things first, we got to talk terror. >> breaking news overnight isis terrorists are demanding millions of dollars in ransom for the return of two japanese hostages. those two there. >> the news following reports the jihaddists executed 13 boys in iraq. their crime? watching soccer. peter doocy is live in washington with the very latest on the situation. good morning to you. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning. the reason isis says they want $200 million for these two japanese hostages is because that's how much money the japanese just pledged in nonlethal aid to countries being ravaged by the islamic state. here is the warning from an isis fighter with a british sounding accent. to the prime minister of japan. although you are more than 8,000-kilometers from the united

states you willingly volunteer to do take part in the crusade. they're demanding payment within 72 hours. so now the japanese prime minister, who is traveling through the middle east right now, is rushing to find a resolution. he says this, i have instructed the chief cabinet secretary to deal with the case putting people's lives as the top priority. tokyo set up an emergency committee and meetings to discuss this case have already taken place. here is what we know about the hostages themselves. one is a freelance journalist who went to syria to report on the civil war there. the other is a private military company operator. we don't know yet if the japanese government plans to pay. top officials are promi do whatever they can while also declaring that it's important not to give in to terrorists. back to you in new york. >> all right. thank you very much for the live report. we know that a lot of countries

do pay but $200 million, that could be a game changer. >> right. then the people that will be killed because of that $200 million, i am just dumfounded that people are looking at children being assassinated for watching a soccer game, people being we headed yes they're still like magnet to serve and go over there thinking this sounds great. it's akin to going to prison. >> this is only increasing. they're increasing territory they're trying to increase funds and increasing those that they can claim as those killed. >> and they don't mind expanding the web of enemies. they have now factored japan in as an enemy when now is motivated to hadn't coalition. >> it makes you wonder if the president will address this in the state of the union tonight. when you're watching action feel free to tweet us. he's set to make it in front of a republican-controlled congress, focusing on tax hikes of course increase on tax

investments, increase capital gains tax rates inherit the assets, $320 billion tax increases over ten years proposed that you will hear tonight, amongst other things. >> so the president is going to continue his eat the rich strategy, which is resonating with the middle class because let's face it, on the president's watch, the middle class has really not thrived and the message is resonating. to be successful tonight, the president does not have to -- the republican congress is not going to pass tax hikes. so to be successful, the president doesn't have to get the congress to pass it. all he has to do is make it look like the republicans are obstructionists and then he wins as he hands overt baton to hillary clinton in 2016. >> because these tax increases, those who have made something for themselves in the united states of america, the dream that you should want to achieve, the republican who then is going to have to make their -- >> saying i'm against that middle class. >> the republicans have to figure out an effective message strategy. we got frank luntz coming up in

five minutes. he's going to talk about messaging. >> six years in, you would think we're beyond symbolism. you would think we would focus on $18 trillion in a definite sit and then get rallying republicans and democrats to get a plan to knock that down. it's not happening. >> you would think so. plus, it sounded like we could do something on tax reform. what's the president talking about? increasing individual taxes. not the corporate tax. i'm sure there are going to be a lot of republicans in the audience scratching their heads saying, wait a minute. this isn't what we were in for. >> it's going to be motley crue there and a motley crew here. >> they have a huge announcement. >> by the way heather, you will not get a better transition in your career than you did. >> are you suggesting that elisabeth talking about a motley crue now here is heather nauert? that's a good transition? >> there is a lot happening overnight. this is my air music. >> and you know my singing. we're motley crue as well. good morning. i have news to bring you.

a developing story a catastrophic collapse in an overpass north of cincinnatiering leaving a construction worker dead this morning. this happened on interstate 75 on a bridge that was being demolished. that work was buried under hundreds of tons of concrete. then just seconds later, a tractor-trailer crashed into the debris. that driver is expected to be okay. we heard a big loud noise and the building shook. i thought maybe that somebody had ridden into a house with a car. >> to give you an idea how busy in highway is, 150,000 cars pass under this bridge every single day. also happening overnight police swarming a runway at jfk airport in new york after someone called in a bomb threat. passengers were rushed off a delta flight moments after it touched down from san francisco. listen to this. >> it's concerning given everything that's going on in the world these days. but it's good to know that the

port authority that the police do the job they do and took the precautions and really took a thorough look at the plane. nobody was distraught. >> that bomb threat was a hoax. another plane was also checked and it was cleared as well. you don't need to breed like rabbits. huh? pope francis surprising a lot of catholics by telling them to, quote, practice responsible parenting. this as he announced details to the united states this year. he added new york city and washington to his agenda. he'll be here in september. this will be his first trip to the united states as pope. and this isn't the hole in one that he wanted. tiger woods right here missing a tooth. a photographer snapped this of woods yesterday in italy. he was there to watch his girlfriend lindsey vonn, win her 63rd world cup race. but that toothless grin is stealing the headlines.

his agent saying it was knocked out bay video camera earlier in the day. race organizers denied that incident. looks painful. those are your headlines. >> wouldn't he be bleeding or swollen? >> thank you very much. the daily news of new york says that apparently he had had a tooth, discolored tooth taken out, that one. and he wasn't supposed to be in attendance at this event and he was. and people got to see that he had been to the dentist. maybe there is some spinning going on. >> the bottom line is, she set a world record yesterday to come back from a devastating knee yesterday. that was the story until the tooth took overment let's talk about this, i thought this was the story. $100 million at the box office in one weekend so far for "american sniper." what a great american story. you line it up with "hurt locker" and "zero dark thirty." you line it up with "lone

survivor" and says america appreciates the military. >> then michael moore gets in on twitter thinking he's courageous saying snipers are cowards. he caught a little heat for that and so he retreated. he's saying this, i never tweeted one word about american sniper chris kyle. i said my uncle killed in world war ii. and he continued on. >> then seth rogen went out and he said something stupid on his twitter account and then he tweeted this in response to the many people who were angry at him. he said, i just said something kind of remind me of something else. i actually liked "american sniper," although it didn't sound like it. it just reminded me of the terrentino scene. big difference between comparing and reminding apples remind me of oranges. can't compare them, though. but if you're having -- you're

welcome for me giving you the opportunity to show something -- blow something completely out of proportion. i mentioned an hour ago that care the council for american islamic relations. on their web site, national twitter feed, what they did is they linked to a column by lindsey west at the guardian where she -- she's not with care -- she says chris kyle is -- the real american sniper was a hate filled killer. it's amazing how many people are out there taking shots at this guy who cannot defend himself. >> and those that are defending our great nation should never ask for thanks. they are some of the most humble and most brave and courageous one of them. jason redman said maybe this is what michael moore should be saying. >> seth is is a dual citizen. he was born in canada but now

lives here in the united states. in june of 14 he made this comment. my dad is american, so i've always been an american citizen, which is very nice because it's made my life so much easier. >> so much easier. >> on behalf of all american veterans who fought for your freedom, you're welcome. >> dakota myer weighed in on the michael moore situation saying cowards are people who don't have guts to serve. or happen to sit back and call our service members cowards. what would i do if i own add michael moore dvd? set my cowardly sniper skill on it. keep in mind, chris kyle never wanted any glory. he was pursued by two co-authors. we heard about you. we got to write your story, what you've accomplished is tremendous. he said, yeah, if you can donate some of my proceeds to the families of my fallen comrades. he wrote million dollars checks

to these guy. >> you hear the gentleman speaking out, those who served so well saying this is what we have done. they didn't come back saying hey, look what we did. but they will defend their brothers. so when you attack them on twitter, they will come get you with their words back as they have used their freedom to defend yours throughout the decades. >> well put. it's 12 minutes after the top of the hour. >> will president obama use the word liberty? we're talking about freedom -- in his state of the union address? frank luntz says that's not the only word he might leave out of tonight's speech. >> and it's the most popular truck in america and don't park one in your driveway. there is a new war against the ford f-150? >> what? >> by chevy? >> frank luntz is here. take a look. ♪ ♪

about 14 hours from now, president obama is going to arrive at the u.s. capitol to deliver his sixth state of the union address. during that speech, the nation will be weighing his every word. but how will those words stack up against the words used by past commanders in chief? joining us now with his analysis pollster and fox news all around smart guy, frank luntz. good morning to you.

>> good morning. >> i've already looked at the research here and i am surprised at the number of times this president and other presidents have used the word liberty. >> what's fascinating is how few times barak obama has done so. >> barely. >> the words that you use determine the policies, the philosophy. i got two things. obama will speak less tonight than in any state of the union because he has less to talk about and number two is that while other presidents are talking about freedom and liberty, particularly ronald eggen and george w. bush you don't see it from barak obama. >> we've got presidents who used the word liberty, theodore roosevelt, 37 times. george w. bush, 27. woodrow wilson, 26. andrew jackson 19. barak obama, once? >> because it's not part of his lexicon. he's likely to talk about fairness and equality. liberty and freedom is not really part of what he has to say. >> has any president ever used fair as many times as this guy? >> i don't think so.

and the other issue about this president is that he uses the word but quite often. this is a very interesting communication. >> why? >> which is where he will provide the defense of what he disagrees with first for 30 or 45 seconds. then you hear the word but. and then for the next 2 1/2 or three minutes, he totally contradicts what he just said. >> i'm going to talk you out of my earlier argument. >> exactly. he's trying to make a pitch to both sides, but the problem is it hurts his credibility. in the end, in these speeches you need to be declarative. >> james buchanan used it 168 times. andrew johnson 112. polk, 91. jackson, 96. barak obama has only used it thrice. >> the reason why the constitution was so important, starting in the 18 20s and going to the 1860s is because of what happened with the civil war. but you still have to wonder why

barak obama doesn't refer to the constitution when there have been so many constitutional issues during his presidency. republicans seem to focus on constitutional values. democrats don't. >> this white house has leaked like crazy. we know exactly what's going to be in. some of his soak the rich thing. but his message resonates with the middle class because over the six years they haven't made headway. >> yet the american people are far more interested in defending hard working taxpayers than they are the middle class. the gap is about 20%. we may argue what the definition of middle class is, but everyone in this studio right now defines themselves as a hard work taxpayer and barak obama is talking about tax increases on hard working taxpayers. bad message. bad time. bad politics. >> all right. good analysis. >> thank you. >> coming up, muslim imam says don't call the police. call me. you know what? it's work. why you might just agree with him coming up.

enemies. i worry that this is actually feeding into the separatism that radicalizes certain communities and that separatism is the slammism that tells them well, the west is their enemy the police is their enemy. i'd rather see our resources go to embracing police embracing america and working with the community rather than separating out. >> imam, how do you feel about what he just said about the view of the muslim community perhaps on law enforcement and what you're doing? >> well, first of all i'm very thankful that i have the opportunity to be having dialogue with dr. jasser, a person that i admire a great deal. unfortunately, what he said was what the reporter wrote. who we are and what we do is completely the opposite of what was reported unfortunately. all we're trying to do is there is so much resources in the banks that the average person doesn't know. the average web site can provide with all kinds of services, from

juvenile issues to seniors, to crime prevention, whatever it is and people don't know. this web site same thing. we have family justice center same thing. we have colleges that will take you even if you don't have a -- you didn't complete high school. what we do is we try to prevent excuses from these people to commit crime. if you have problem with education, you are in a bad situation or you don't have a job, whatever it is, we want to walk you to the right -- >> dr. jasser? >> one of the things i'd like to see you say is the nypd had a report on radicalization in the west that now is trying to be deep sixed off of their web site. i'd love to see your program say that report is something we should embrace as a process, we should break that radicalization program. instead, many muslim groups are trying to have that removed.

will you join me in calling for that report to be maybed on the web site? >> i think maybe you tonight know me, but i was one of two muslims that actually that was interviewed for that radicalization program you're talking about. i am very well-known in the law enforcement community, as well as all new york. my positions are public and they are very vocal. so i think if you read more about me, you will find we have more in common than difference. >> does that mean yes, you would vote to keep that up? >> keep what up? >> to keep the report up on the web site? >> i was part of the report. if i was part of the report, obviously i'm 100% for it. i'm very well-known. >> thank you very much. great debate. we'll do this again. thanks so much to both of you. coming up, a little kid did not make it to a birthday party at ski resort. so the parents who threw the party are charging him because avenues no show. is that right? speaking of parents, two of our favorite are here today. mario lopez and his wife

decide whether he should be executed. even with the largest jury pool, it will be difficult to seat a full jury because of how long the trial is expected to take. selected jurors will be paid $50 a day. the longer the trial, the more people that will have economic hardship because their families can't afford being away from work. that will mean automatic dismissal. the judge will work to ensure diversity among the 12 jurors and alternates. the 9,000 people will take a questionnaire and will be eliminated and others will go through an extensive questioning process from the judge and both sides of the attorneys, from both sides. this morning there will be a brief hearing at 9 this morning where james holmes is expected to be there and then this afternoon, the first 250 jurors will come here to the courthouse. back to you. >> live in colorado, we thank you for that. did you hear president obama earlier this month announcing a plan to save you money?

you're talking about a tremendous drop in family income in the united states. >> something else we're not going to hear the president say tonight. if you haven't had a full-time job, it's going to be a long time before you get one. >> well, the point is that a lot of people are chronically unemployed and have no chance of getting a job in this particular economy. there is 2.8 million people who are unemployed. they account for about 32% of the unemployed in this nation at this point. if you're unemployed more than a year or so, you have a one in ten chance of finding full time long-term employment. >> and everybody is always talking about the unemployment rate has gone way down. unfortunately, there are so many people who have dropped off the rolls, they just stopped counting them. >> they've given up and stopped counting them. >> something else you won't hear the president say tonight. but according to peter is true the opportunities for the poor and the middle class have not

increased on his watch. >> let's look at what the american people are saying and thinking. fox news poll, do you think life for the next generation will be better or worse? that's what we think about as parents. 49% said worse in august of 2012. but in september of 2014, 61% of the american people said worse. clearly people don't think it's going in the right direction. >> absolutely. we're going the wrong direction that. summarizes with this question, our concern about our future is higher than ever. >> there is an anxiety, there is a tension in this country. there is an inability to understand what's going on. where are we on foreign policy? where are we in the world? are we getting weaker or stronger? a lot of americans think that we're getting weaker. in terms of concerns for the future of the country, listen to these numbers. 42% extremely concerned. 41%, very concerned. so that's 83% either extremely or very concerned about the

future of the country. we're going to see a rosy picture tonight. we're going to hear about new taxes on rich folks and estate taxes being different. capital gains taxes. we're going to hear about a division between those who have and those who have not. the truth is that gap has been growing in the 6 1/2 years this president has been the president. so a lot of americans are looking for not democratic or republican talk, but straight talk about how bad things are in this country and how we can make them better. that's what we really want to hear tonight. >> are you going to have is that drinking game where every time the president mentions fair or fairness, you're going to take a shot of something? >> no, not going to have that. i would be passed out early very in the game. >> no kidding. we'll see you tomorrow. coming up, have you seen this video? it's unbelievable. oh man. that actually happened not far

child, everyone is paying attention. what could happen. in the united states 23 states allow medical marijuana and the majority of those do allow it for children. where do you stand on this? >> to complete the story, forget about the father potentially going to jail. i don't even think that's the severe punishment. my understanding is he's not allowed to see his dying child. there is like an order of protection between the pear and the child and for me, someone who practices in the united states criminal justice system that's insane. talk about the punishment not fitting the crime. that is about the most severe punishment you can place on anyone. there is your dying child. you did what you thought was in the best interest as a parent and gave them some relief and the two-year-old did say, daddy, my tummy is better. she starts eating. she starts gaining weight and what do they do? they take the father away from the child. it punishes the child severely. it punishes the father. it's almost as bad as the death penalty. >> dr. keith, what do you think? psychologically, there's a

stress on a child being separated from a parent. >> as usual, i have to provide context. my colleague is a simple man. here is the thing i think that in this case, there needs to be prosecutorial sort of judgment. discretion. this is not a case in which this father seems to be up to any mayhem. it's involving cannabis oil. these things are known to work for some people. however, drugs are against the law and if you said, what if it were magic mushrooms, which are thought to relieve depression, would we have the same reaction? what are the ends of our -- because a parent -- >> if he got caught with a kilo if he got caught with tons of marijuana, he would not be punished as severely as he's being punished now. >> that's not the point. >> would it be different if the amount of cannabis oil actually given to the child was monitored by a physician? >> i can see how as a doctor i

would be displeased. my treatment plan, the doctor's treatment plan presumably did not include cannabis oil. it was not prescribed. i can see how somebody running this case, and by the way this girl may well survive. how someone running this case may say, look, i didn't approve this. >> but you're the government. you're the doctor. i am her father! i'm blood. you're water. don't you tell me how to treat my daughter! i'm not doing something that's so wreckless and so out of balance. all over america cannabis is available. >> parents should do what they want for their kids. two weeks ago we had that debate. >> you're saying the government has to give the treatment. now he's saying the government has to withhold the treatment. which treatment is it? >> we are a country of laws. and this father, there is one thing civil disobedience is one thing. i did this and i'm willing to pay the price basidia it for the

tier. how do they get there? >> elizabeth warren is clearly the favorite of the populous progressive wing of the democratic party. they have the same questions about hillary clinton they had about her in the 2008 cycle. you remember what happened then. they also supported barak obama. you're absolutely right, elizabeth warren says no, no, no no. she just like mitt romney a no can turn into a yes overnight. as far as joe biden it's incredible really. this could be the first time in nearly 100 years that we have two, two-term vice presidents in a row who don't run for president. dick cheney and joe biden? also in biden's case, cheney never wanted to r. biden wants to. if hillary clinton runs and joe biden run. the third tier includes former virginia senator jim webb who ises most likely a republican on the democratic side and o'malley. do they have a shot to rise? >> webb is almost certainly

running. he appears to be. o'malley wants to run, wants to see whether he's got a base to do it. both are long shots. but you get out there and you start running anything can happen. >> gillibrand. cloverture. she'll probably sit out if hillary is in, right? >> both of them will sit it out if hillary is in. they're substitutes if she shocks us and doesn't run. >> there is a lot of women there and diversity and a lot of name recognition is stuck on the first tier. it will be interesting. but a lot more interesting on the right this time around. thanks so much. see you soon. >> thanks, brian. back in a moment. don't go anywhere dayquill cold and flu doesn't treat your runny nose. seriously? alka-seltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. oh, what a relief it is.
