>> said no way. >> the common denominator here is qatar. >> you mean the five? >> right. exactly. beau bergdahl, who knows where he was during that time. troubling questions are raised how the administration is dealing with these situations. is the message being sent, you know, we can negotiate with it. just last week, we asked specifically about this guy, why he was released early, and she said this. very cagey. >> do you support the fact that al-marri former al qaeda operative was released to qatar. you believe that makes us safe? >> people who served their sentence are released. i defer to the justice department on the details of every case you're bringing up, but the overall picture is to do everything within our power, the

strongest force in the world to keep america safe and keep focused on that. that's his priority. >> you know, senator graham sat here friday said there's no way he should have been released. forget time served. he's a high valued detainee and should have been in gitmo, but having said that, he should have been in super max. add to that too yesterday, the white house chief of staff told chris wallace the white house won't do prisoner swaps or pay ransom to isis. well, seems like we did already and are about to. >> well, at least we tried. >> quid pro quo. >> did with the bergdahl clearly, that was a swap. >> clearly not a good one. you know what i mean? where's the negotiation skills there? look at qatar here, though and you see their territory, supporter of islamic groups, funneling money there, and giving a home to a leader of hamas, you wonder why there. he's receiving a hero's welcome at home.

$200 million and "birdman" winning the award only made $30 million. >> so chris kyle and company did not win that best picture but it has -- the controversy swirling around it is only heating up. i feel like as though michael moore has to give another apology for trying to backtrack over the ormgal tweet saying we misinterpreted his ormgal tweet when he called -- when we were told his uncle told him that snipers were cowards. saying oh you misinterpreted what he said. he doubled down. tripled down yesterday. >> regripping theory here. tweeted tomorrow sunday school number one what would jesus do? oh, hide on a roof and shoot people in the back. >> that's what he tweeted out on saturday. >> wow. >> meanwhile, howard dean who seems like has made a liveing saying crazy stuff on television

my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

really going to intensify and kind of bomb out, and really what that means is central pressure is dropping significantly more than 24 milibars in 24 hours. this is why we think we'll have hurricane force wind gusts along the northeast. we have blizzard warnings in effect, and several feet of snow. it is going to be cold enough throughout the duration of the event that most areas see all snow. the only area that could be seeing a mix is areas along the cape. that's where we could be looking at lower snowfall totals because of the mix as the storm system is forecasted to pass close to the area, but again, major storms potentially record breaking and also life threatening to impact the northeast throughout the day tomorrow and even early wednesday across parts of maine. let's head over to you. >> maria thank you very much. >> thanks maria. continue to send your survival tips our way. >> the worry is if it's windy, 60 70 miles per hour wisconsin at 20 degrees, there's a going to knock your lights out, trees down. all sorts of problems.

permanent war footing. i pressed ben moments ago about what he meant if we're at war with al qaeda and he said the president was talking about large scale ground troops in iraq and afghanistan, but, obviously, if the administration is saying we're at war with al qaeda, that raises questions about why at last week's state of the union president did not mention the phrase al qaeda at all. guys 1234. >> one time. ed henry live in india with the latest. interesting he just played that sound bite of the president and joe biden, and speaker boehner from last year's state of the union, and then you juxtapose against this year's. you know, it's got to be tough if you're joe biden and/or the speaker to make sure you don't do anything crazy while the president is talking, like roll your eyes or something like that. >> isn't that the goal, though, right? hand it to them to be stone faced there, but scott pelley had a bone to pick with speaker boehner there. there he is, sitting, doing the best he can. he said, what's up with the

take on ms. clinton right now. >> okay, so, brad dallas says scott walker is a star on the republican side. who do you think is best suited to take on hillary? >> well, first of all, he was going after hillary clinton's age. that's not going to be -- >> did that with john mccain. >> that's not going to be the effective strategy, dallas. well, you know and maybe they tried it against ronald reagan. it didn't work then. going after age is not an effective strategy. i'll tell you the person steve, overlooked is rick santorum. i don't know why everyone continues to overlook him or think he doesn't have a good chance. that's how people treated him before. he won the iowa caucus. we wound up being the second you know second to romney in delegates. he was, you know he was second to romney in terms of he was the last man standing before romney got the nomination. he's talking to the middle class. rick santorum has a chance to emerge. >> dallas -- >> i'm not talking about her

age, but i am talking about the contrast that all of the republican candidates -- >> that's -- >> are well younger than the democratic candidates, especially -- >> oh, nothing worse than getting a call from your mom and that's how we met you boys. we thank you very much for joining us live today. >> thank you steve. >> one likes walker. the other likes santorum. listen to this. >> mama. thinks she's having a boy. >> the four-year-old calm enough to save her mom's life. that story is next about a biologic...

a michigan mom is lucky to be alive after suffering a seizure at nine months pregnant and it's all thanks to her quick thinking and calm four yearly. >> 911. >> my mom is really pregnant and she's having a boy. >> okay. >> she really needs help. >> how old are you? >> four. >> you're four? >> yes. and i'm getting bigger. >> what a good job that 911 call truly saved the day and the little girl's mom made it to the hospital in time and delivered her new baby brother. joining us is that four-year-old hero and her mother. thank you both for being here. this is incredible.

her on the phone was so clear in talking to the emergency technician at 911, what have you taught her over the years to do in this situation? it's incredible. >> yes. thank you. i have taught her because of my situation, because of the epilepsy and i always taught her stay calm and be able to call 911 if she was ever in the situation and it was just really easy for her to pick up because she's really smart. she's a really smart four-year-old. she's a really smart two-year-old. it was easy for her to catch on and learn and easy for me to steve her. >> two years practicing. first of all, thank god that you're okay. we're so happy that you're with us today and with little baby tj. you're a big sister now. you acted like a big sister there and you're a hero. how did you go about saving your mom and really your little brother? how did you do it? from were you

scared? >> no. >> 'cause you did a good job. you talked to the person right there and now you have a great little brother named t.j. right? do you have something with you today that you received for being such a hero? did you bring an award with you? >> oh, you didn't bring it. >> i forgot. >> you forgot. that's okay, because we didn't forget. can you tell us about the award that she actually received? we have a picture of it here. >> yes. she received an award at church from our pastor and for just -- they called her the youngest american hero. and she received that award. >> i could tell you like that 'cause i saw that smile.

get used to getting more. that's the power of more rewarding connections that's preferred rewards from bank of america. good morning. today is monday, january 26. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. millions are bracing blizzard of historic proportions. up to three feet of snow and 75 mile-per-hour winds. the latest on the potentially catastrophic storm that will stretch for nearly 600 miles. we have it all for you. and you want more of this? >> get the hell off the beach and get out. >> what chris christie just did that could be a game changer in the race for the white house. donald trump joins us live in moments to react. >> and another record breaking weekend for the movie "american sniper." still the political left keeps viewing hate like only angry tea

partiers are the people who want to go see that movie, right howard dean? >> i bet you if you looked at a cross section of the tea party and people who see this movie there is a lot of intersection. >> he's wrong about that. we've got the facts. why can't folks like howard dean just shut up? mondays are better with friends. don't you think? in the last hour looking out our manualic window, it's starting to snow. >> we begin with an extreme weather alert for you. potentially deadly blizzard set to cripple the northeast. >> we could receive up to three feet of snow and we know that it's bad because they have already grounded hundreds of flights. >> this bothers me already because i heard last night that it starts at 1:00 o'clock. it's not 1:00 o'clock, is it?

>> it is associated with that same storm system but not really intense just yet. it will be intensifying later today and that's when conditions will be rapidly deteriorating for the evening commute home tonight. if anyone is not leaving work early, it's going to get dangerous out there. and travel will be impossible as we head into the overnight hours across the northeast. there is likely going to be road closures and probably going to see roads that are impassable. it's going to be tough for those road crews to keep up with snowfall rates of two to four inches per hour with the relatively slow moving snow system. this will impact the northeast not only throughout the day today, but also as we head into tuesday and across new england. it will linger through wednesday. i want to show you some of the snowfall so far this season because it has been generally light. in philadelphia, new york city, we picked up a couple of inches about ten inches in the city of boston. but that will all be changing. we're talking feet of snow. take a look at the current temperatures.

it's very cold out across the northeast. so that's going to keep this storm system as all snow. we're not going to deal with rain-snow line in new york city. that's going to be an issue for places like the cape. we do have blizzard warnings again for parts of new jersey all the way to maine. let's head back inside. >> a busy weather day. >> our facebook question of the day, what's your best blizzard survival tip and already the tips are pouring in. >> jim says this, my survival tip? beer. fully stocked fridge full of beer. bring it nature. come on. >> he's from miami? >> all right. scott on facebook writes best blizzard survival tip, live in the south. >> amen. >> or you can live in a donald trump building because he personally shovels the walkway and throws out the sand. is this true, donald trump? >> well, it's largely true. we're going to have a lot of shoveling to do today based on everything i hear. >> we are ready for sure.

i have to ask you this, we have a fox news alert. want to get your take, in a move toward campaigning chris christie has hired a staff and and a pac. >> i'm not surprised. i know criswell. he's a friend of mine, a good guy. everybody knows he's going to run. i think he wants to run and he's going to. i suspect. >> can he win? >> he can win. he's a formidable guy. he's a good person actually. i know a lot of people hit him hard left and right, but he's a good person. >> donald, a lot of people saw the applause you got and reception you get when your name goes on the marquee, people flock to see you. but others add we like seeing him and the way he delivers, but he's never serious about running. he's just teasing us. what's your message to them? >> that's the one thing i do here. we had a tremendous response the other day. i was in iowa. we made the speech. as you know, i got the biggest

applause and the biggest standing ovation. but the one thing i hear is well, is he really going to run? does he want to run? i looked at it really seriously one time, which was the last time and i had a lot of different things going and it's not easy for me to run because i do so much. i'm doing so much. a lot of people think i won't. but i am very, very seriously looking at running and i got the biggest applause by far in iowa the other day. we'll see what happens. but i am looking very, very seriously. if i did i'd do a very good job. bring america back. make america great again. >> what would be some of the indicators for donald trump as opposed to others who can self-finance and has the fame and popularity? you don't have any name recognition problems. what will be tom of the two or three things we can look at to see if you're going to run? >> the country is doing very employer in every way. we're a laughing stock. we have been for a long time of the look at our foreign policy, it's the worst ever. we've never been in a position. the world has crumbled around

us. a lot of it is caused by us. our infrastructure is crumbling. other countries are doing so well. china, you see what's happening there with their infrastructure and almost everything else. we're now the second power. some day in the not too distant future we'll be the third power in terms of economics. there are a lot of things going wrong with the country. we really need help and need it badly. people are pouring across our borders, which is horrible. we have to build a wall. who would -- look, i build some of the greatest buildings in the world, building a wall for me is easy. and it would be a wall. it would be a real wall. not a wall that people walk over. >> these are some things you hit this past weekend at the iowa freedom summit. one of the other things you talked about was the fact that mitt romney and jeb bush were not in attendance in iowa while a lot of the others were. >> look, mitt romney seems to be running, which is shocking

because he really blew it the last time. he had it made. he could have walked in office. most people in the republican party would have won that race. that was a race that was meant to be won. we had a president who was doing horribly and in the last month i don't know what happened. he choked. something happened. and you can't take a chance on having that happen again. >> what about jeb? >> he performed poorly. with jeb, you just don't need another bush. we're not going to have another bush. and in terms of the border, in terms of a lot of other things he's very weak on the issues, including comecon. >> so you say that romme and bush -- romney and bush can't win. who else on the republican side could win? >> i think a number of people could win. it's going to be a very tough race. i will say this, i think this race is tougher, assuming that hillary gets in which is perhaps going to be. i don't know if she's going to be a strong candidate. who knows? who knows if she makes it. if you remember last time, it

was 100%. she was going to make it and obama came along and beat her. they're really in the same thing right now. i think this has the potential to be a tougher race than the last one. the last one is a race we should have won. i think we have a very good chance to win this. but it depends on the candidate. i do not think that bush and i do not think that romney can win this race. >> is there anybody that could beat you if you decided to run? >> i think i'd do very well. i see it from the response. everybody else mentioned it. all of the iowa papers mentioned it that i got by far the biggest response and we'll see what happens. >> you know who could -- i don't think she could beat you but miss colombia was actually the big winner last night in your miss universe pageant in miami. >> i think she'd have the best chance of beating me, no question about it. she is incredible. she was an incredible winner. it was a really amazing evening and we had a great time. >> and she wants to go back to school. after her reign, back to

college. >> and mia santos next to her is a runner up. >> she's been on your show and she did terrifically. miss colombia was incredible. she's an incredible beauty and a really wonderful girl. and she will be on your show in the next couple of days. >> what's her best asset? >> well, it's beauty. it's about beauty and that's one of the largest highest rated shows in the world world wide because of a thing called beauty. she has other assets, but this is a true great beauty. >> it is a beauty packagent. so that would make sense. >> always a pleasure. he's with us every monday. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thanks. we turn to another beauty with some wicked smarts. heather nauert here. >> a lot going on. >> good morning everybody. we start right now, we have a fox news alert. did the obama administration start a dangerous trend negotiating with terrorists? there is a bombshell new report

out now that reveals that before he was released last week al mari was offered up in a prisoner swap that would have freed matthew and gray wang, the couple held in qatar over the death of their adopted daughter. that was the story we reported on extensively late last year. this proposal was allegedly made shortly after the obama administration traded five taliban fighters for beau bergdahl but it was never carried out. people say that it opened a pandora's box. >> the latest one there is probably more information to come out that we need to moment but it's very obvious that this administration does not hold to the idea of we don't negotiate with terrorists. >> the state department denies that proposal. a real security scare in the air over the white house. police and emergency workers surrounding this building after reports of a drone flying overhead. white house spokesman confirming

that a small device -- those are his words -- had been found on the ground and did not pose any danger. the president is still overseas in asia. we'll keep following that story as we get more information. the two sons of hosni mubarak freed after four years in prison. last week they were exonerated on embezzlement charges. they still faced retrial on separate corruption charges. they walked free a day after deadly clashes between antigovernment protesters and police marked the fourth anniversary of the uprising that ended their father's 29-year rule. and birdmen flying high after taking the top high at the sag awards. outstanding performance by a cast. eddie red -- >> naomi watt tripping on the

gown and nearly tripping off the stage. but she handled it with grace and beauty. just like elisabeth would. >> i just trip and fall and stay down. thank you, heather. >> thanks. happening right now, a desperate search for these grandparents missing after trying to buy a car on craigslist last thursday. the hunt now on for this man a suspect. somebody they want to talk to. a live update from the sheriff leading the investigation next on this monday. and they just can't let it go. the state department officials who want to use "frozen" to teach kids about climate change. ♪ ♪ my name is michael. i'm 55 years old and i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain was terrible. my feet hurt so bad. it felt like hot pins and needles coming from the inside out of my skin. when i did go see the doctor and he prescribed lyrica it helped me.

[breath of relief] oh, what a relief it is. mommy! hey! we got breaking news on that missing couple. went to buy a car on thursday after they posted a want ad on craigslist. >> we're pretty sure they made it down there and on friday they were supposed to be home. they never showed up. my mom she wouldn't miss seeing her grandchildren n now police believe that this man, 28-year-old ronnie j. towns, was the last person to see them

alive. brand-new right now they may know where the suspect is. the sheriff joins us right now live from georgia. good morning to you sheriff. >> good morning. >> okay. so you're looking for this fellow mr. towns, 28 years old. why do you think he's the last person who saw them alive? >> well, we've investigated the last communications that the couple had. we traced that to a cell phone and we traced that cell phone to the purchaser of it, which was mr. towns. >> okay. because when they looked into the records of the family, they noticed that it was a burner phone, a throw away phone. but they figured out who bought it. the new news this morning as well is you seem to have an idea where he is right? >> we've been working through the family hoping to get

mr. towns to surrender himself. my last understanding was there was some communication between our suspect and his family. we're hopeful that this is going to develop into his surrender. >> okay. so you have spoken to the suspect's family and there is the runyon family before they went missing on thursday. why aren't you just going after him directly, this mr. towns? >> well, if we knew his whereabouts, we would be going after him directly. but we're hopeful be resolved very soon and with his arrest. >> okay. so what are you charging him with? >> he'll be charged for now with criminal attempt to commit death by deception and giving false statements to investigators. >> all right. of course, you're still looking for the couple. have not seen them since thursday. we have a picture of a 2003

pewter colored gmc envoy they were driving at the time. these are some pictures. that's the vehicle right there. so it is believed that they put this ad on craigslist. they were looking for a '66 mustang and mr. towns said, yeah, i've got a car like that. so then they went driving what 200 miles to try to make the transaction happen? >> that's our understanding was mr. runyon placed an ad for this vehicle, a vehicle that he had owned after returning from vietnam and he had hoped to purchase another vehicle similar to that. so he placed an ad searching for this vehicle. it's our belief that the suspect in this case reached out to mr. runyon and on the pretense of having such a vehicle for him to come and inspect and perhaps purchase. >> so you're looking for him. you want to talk to him to figure out where they are,

right? >> we hope he'll be able to provide more information since we believe he's the last person who was in communication with the couple. >> absolutely. sheriff, we thank you very much for joining us. if anybody watching has any information, call the sheriff's office down there. thank you very much. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. another record breaking weekend for the movie, "american sniper." the political left keep spewing hate, saying only angry tea partiers want to see that movie. >> there is a lot of anger in this country and the people who go see this movie are people who are very angry. >> the mother of a slain navy seal and chris kyle's best friend, is here with a message to howard dean and every other critic as well. so stick around. i'm looking forward to. for some every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage.

time for news by the numbers. first, 1,000 career wins. that's head coach making ncaa history over the weekend when the blue devils defeated a very tough st. johns team. next, 1800-foot asteroid. flying past earth today. it will miss our planet by 745,000 miles. astronauts say they consider that a near miss. finally, a $10 million mistake. that's how much money a man won on the scratch-off lottery ticket. he only bought it to break a $100 bill. good move. >> "american sniper" breaking more box office records this weekend. but that's not stopping left wing critics like howard dean from continuing their attacks on the movie. >> there is a lot of anger in this country and the people who go see this movie are people who

are very angry and this guy basically says i'm going to fight on your side and they fight for it. i think there is some -- i bet you if you looked at a cross section of the tea party and people who go see this movie, there is a lot of intersection. >> really? that's not true. and add that to michael moore calling into i weres cowards and all this is not sitting well with our next guest. the mother of chris kyle's best friend and fellow navy seal, mark lee. lee was the first navy seal killed in iraq. he was portrayed in "american sniper" and his mother made a cameo as well. she joins us now. we have the honor of welcoming debbie lee this morning. thank you for joining us here. your son sacrificed for the freedoms that reall enjoy today. your family did the same and we thank you for that first and foremost from fox. secondly, all these tweets coming in and this latest one from michael moore. you already answered him once, but he wants to keep going. instead of being a sniper to

protect our troops, he said i tried to save their lives by stopping bush from sending them to their deaths in iraq. he just keeps going. now he's the hero? you know the meaning of hero. what do you say to him today? >> i do know the meaning of a hero. hero is someone who would sacrifice their life for someone else. that's definitely not the character of michael moore. when i hear these ridiculous statements that he continues to make attacking our troops and saying oh, he's done so much, he even talked about he's done more than anyone at fox. you know what? michael moore if you've done so much than everybody else, put your money where your mouth is. take a donation to america's mighty warriors. i'm not a betting woman, but i would bet that the fox people will step up and do even more than you would ever do. >> i think what is so disturbing to so many is that the attack is aimed right at the character and heart of those that sacrifice

right at the navy seals who act as snipers to protect this great nation, and when you hear those remarks, it's infuriating, chris kyle was like a son to you. your son died protecting this country. what would they say right now to michael moore, to those that are out there running their mouths about how cowardly they are? >> they would probably just chuckle and laugh in his face at the ridiculousness of the statements and how uneducated he is about what our troops really do and the sacrifices they make for the freedoms that we enjoy every day, the training that they go through. the navy seal training, they have a week that's called hell week. during that week they get four hours of sleep for the entire week. they get ten minutes here, 15 minutes there. michael moore would never be able to endure what they go through. what they do for us, for the freedoms we enjoy every day. your comment, i heard the comment about howard dean's statement and these are patriots

who understand who pays the price for our freedom that are going to see this movie that support our troops, that recognize the sacrifices that are made and want to hear more about our heros. >> so well said there. they go right after the character. i want you to have the opportunity now to specifically tell us about your son, mark and the character and the man that he was and how you want people to know him. >> he was definitely very selfless. obviously by the actions he did on his final day. he stood up in the direct line of fire three different times willingly gave his life to give the gift of life to his teammates. and to defend the freedoms that we enjoy each and every day. he had amazing sense of humor and he was my youngest child. i was just so blessed to have the children that i have. people do remember his sense of humor, his determination, his

perseverance and this is something that i see -- that seems to be this theme through the navy seals and what they give for us every day. these are the toughest warriors that we have in america and the most compassionate men that i've ever known and that's the same thing with chris kyle. the love and the support that i felt from him, mark often tried to explain to me the brotherhood and i couldn't quite get it. i knew that they fought together, they sacrificed, they did a lot together. and the week that mark died, we had five of them in our home and i saw they loved mark just as much as we did and they were hurting just as much as we were. the light bulb went on and i realized yes, those really were mark's brothers and i got to see that in a reverse with chris kyle and the love that i felt back from him and so many of other mark's teammates, it really was like a mother-son relationship. i've never experienced anything like it in my life. i miss both of these young men

so very much. the movie is a great thing that's out there telling their story, honoring them. it is hollywood. it's not a documentary. bradley cooper did an amazing job portraying chris and the message that comes out of the sacrifices made, the choices made, and our need to continue to support our troops. that's what we're doing at america's mighty warriors is making sure we do take care of them, that we take care of their families that they know they're loved and appreciated and we will never forget the sacrifices they've made for us. >> debbie, we can't thank you enough for being here. we urge everyone if they haven't already, to see "american sniper." you have a cameo reading a letter from mark the last one he sent to you. we vow to you we will never forget his character and his great service and all those brothers and sisters who served with him. thank you. >> thank you so very much. and they can go to our web site and purchase the book if they haven't read the book yet and

that continues to support our troops and our missions through america's mighty warriors. thank you so much. >> thank you. incredible. this is a new way to teach kids about climate change. ♪ let it go ♪ ♪ let it go ♪ ♪ can't hold it back anymore ♪ >> state department official wants to use "frozen" to spread the fear of global warming. go figure. plus, remember him? our favorite dancing police officer. he's back with an encore performance you do not want to miss. he's got moves. ♪ ♪ our eyes they have a 200-degree range of sight. which is good for me. hey! and bad for the barkley twins. your brain can send information to the rest of your body at 268 mph. three times the speed of a fastball. take care of your most important parts with centrum. multivitamins expertly designed

getting stuck, creating traffic jams and conditions are just going to continue to deteriorate. we do have snow across places like new york city, across new jersey and also in pennsylvania. timing on this storm system for the tri-state area and southern parts of new england, you're really going to be seeing the storm ramping up as we head into this evening. that's going to be a concern. people getting stuck in traffic during rush hour with blizzard conditions. the snow will be very heavy and likely be seeing thunder snow across the region as we head into the overnight hours tonight. snow continues coming down heavily across the region through tomorrow morning and even throughout the day on tuesday across parts of new england. so again a very significant storm system. we're looking at feet of snow possible. blizzard warnings stretching for about 600 miles, from parts of new jersey to down east maine. and we're loo wind gusts possible of hurricane force along coastal areas. let's head back inside. >> it's just getting started. thank you very much. >> stay warm out there.

you'll remember september the president called it a success story for his counter terror efforts. now the country is in shambles and the president denied reports that u.s. counter terror efforts have completely stopped because we don't know who is in charge in yemen. meanwhile, republican senator john mccain says he's not calling for u.s. troops to go to yemen. he does believe with all these crises in the middle east that the u.s. military option should not be taken off the table. listen. >> it is a dangerous country and a dangerous part of the world. we continue to go after high value targets inside of yemen and we will continue to maintain the pressure that's required to keep the american people safe. >> it is delusional for them to think that what they're doing is succeeding and we need more boots on the ground. >> reporter: also interesting that on fox news sunday chief of staff dennis mcdonough told chris wallace that the

administration does not do prisoner swaps in the context of isis, now demand ago ransom for the second japanese citizen who is being held hostage. interesting in light of the al-qaeda sleeper agent who was released from a u.s. prison last week, there is a report in the daily beast suggesting he had previously been on the table for potential prisoner swap for two american prisoners held overseas and of course, there was a beau bergdahl swap with the taliban. >> we know how that turned out. thank you. >> next stop, saudi arabia. we're going to turn to heather nauert. >> good morning. a dramatic rescue off the coast of hawaii. this is all caught on camera. a coast guard chopper fluked three adults and a baby out of the pacific ocean after their plane crash landed in the ocean. they are all okay this morning. this happened just hours after another plane like this one crashed off of hawaii when it ran out of fuel. but instead of the coast guard picking it up, a cruise ship came to that pilot's rescue.

significantly. 24 millibars within 24 hours. that's why we're seeing such strong winds across the area and such heavy snowfall accumulations. thunder snow tonight is going to be likely. during the overnight hours in new york city, we're going to be seeing that. that's going to continue throughout tuesday across new england and blizzard warnings now are in effect from parts of new jersey all the way to down east maine. wind gusts 70 to 80 miles per hour across new england possible. let's head back inside. >> what a day. thank you very much. bret baier is not in the northeast yet. he's in iowa. hey, bret, how was your weekend? >> good morning. great here in iowa. southeast of des moines. it's smoky grove coffee house. just wrapping up the weekend. we're going to do our show out here in des moines after the candidates have their big event at this summit. steve king summit in des moines. >> we want to talk more about that. but first we want to get to this

fox news alert and get your input. freed al-qaeda agent al mari was reportedly off the offered in a proposed swap. this raises questions are governments sensing negotiations from the united states? bret, we're hearing about this daily beast learned that this proposal was floated in july of 2014 on the heels of the bergdahl swap, it seems as though the united states is negotiating with terrorists. what's the word there? >> it's really amazing to see this start to come out. if this is all how it went down, that this proposal was there for this al mari, who is a confessed essentially sleeper agent for al-qaeda, the mastermind of 9-11 essentially ratted him out and he was in custody his term went 'til 2018. he was led out and put back to

qatar, his home land, and received there as a hero. now we learn that there was a proposed deal for the american couple who were in qatar at the time and under trial for the murder of their daughter that they said they didn't have anything to do with. long story short, this shows that perhaps countries are looking at america now and saying after the bergdahl deal, there is a way for quid pro quo here, something the white house chief of staff said the u.s. does not do. >> right. >> just yesterday. >> and then bret you look at what's happened with the two fellows who were being held by isis japanese men. one of them apparently was decapitated and now rather than asking for the $200 million they've changed their deal. they say, you know what, we'd rather have a prisoner swap. so maybe that is the new headline here. >> yeah. the fact that the bergdahl deal

may have opened up this whole negotiating for prisoners let's not forget cuba and the cuban five and that whole deal about they tried to separate alan gross from the release of those cuban five they wanted back in havana. this is a different way to approach this that this administration has taken. i know you all asked valerie jarrett about it last week. >> in fact, we got a sound bite. >> he's good. let's watch. >> do you support the fact that al mari, released from the united states to qatar, you believe that keeps us more safe and the president believes that keeps us more safe? >> well, people who served their sentence are then released. again, i will defer to the justice department and the details of every single case that you're bringing up. but the overall picture is to do everything within our power, the strongest force in the world to keep america safe. he focused on that. that's his priority.

>> yeah. that terrorist is now back. so he's out there. >> the guy who did his time. >> stadium packed just to greet him as a hero for trying to blow us up. so bret, let's talk about what you were there for. that's to see some of the leading republican candidates come to congressman steve king's party and talk about their conservative bon feeds. one was chris christie. how was he received and ha do you think about the news he's putting a pac together? >> that's definitely the biggest step he's taken to officially running. it's believed that he was going to be running for quite some time. but the fact that he's taking this interest in iowa pitching himself actually on the issue of abortion, talking a lot about his pro-life stance, he spent a lot of time on that speech over the weekend doing that. he's well received here in des moines, even if there is a little bit of skepticism of his embrace of president obama near the hurricane, about the whole bridgegate deal and whether that's all over.

but he's well received here in the des moines register, which is the front page news. how every candidate did. crisis did okay. the big winner according to the folks here, is senator ted cruz, who they say blew it out of the water this weekend. >> i also heard good things about scott walker. >> gaining momentum? >> yeah. scott walker is definitely getting a lot of applause for his presentation. remember, cruz and walker if you saw this, they were kind of walking around the stage, no notes, no teleprompter, and giving this speech. walker was first introduction for a lot of iowans in the summit and they said they give him a thumbs up here. >> somebody who is not graded on the front page of the des moines register is mitt romney and jeb bush because they didn't show up. any idea why? >> don't know why. jeb bush said there was a scheduling conflict. i don't think mitt romney considered it. but that is a big part of this.

the bush-romney equation and how that factors into iowa, we are almost exactly one year away from the iowa caucuses which is hard to believe. but it is starting now. all this positioning and jockeying really has to do with money and early support. >> right. so let me ask you about this, the super bowl is coming up. everybody is talking about it for a number of reasons. savannah guthrie just scored. she'll do the live interview with the president of the united states. you interviewed the president. what did you think about her saying that she hopes to leave a favorable impression on the president as her goal? is that customary? >> you know listen, first of all, that job during the half time is really tough. o'reilley can tell you. it's not easy. the time constraints are tough. you want to get the questions in. i know savannah. she's probably going to ask tough questions. she's probably not going to ask

questions that i would ask but i'm sure she'll do fine. i think she wanted to leave a favorable impression on the crowd, not the president. but we'll see. >> yeah. that's what i got there from that statement, that she wants to do a good job. >> no foul there? >> that's right. they're grounding some coffee beans here. >> you want to do that after the talk. >> they always do that when steve hayes is talking. >> real quick tease, "special report," we have local analysis from iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. some local people saying what's happening on the ground in all those places exactly one year out from it all starting. >> all right. bret baier joining us today from iowa. thank you very much. >> see you later.

>> "special report" at 6 p.m. time for headlines and heather has them. >> i was thinking he looks lonely without a plate of eggs there. in the meantime, we've got news that just came in. there has been a major security scare at the white house this morning. police and emergency workers surrounding the building after reports of a drone flying overhead. white house spokesman josh earnest confirming that a small device -- that's how he referred to it -- was found on the white house grounds, but it did not pose any danger, they say. the president and the first lady are in india. no word if malia and sasha were home at the time. f.b.i.ings investigating a troubling new trend that has been taking place online, bomb threats against packed passenger planes. just last night, two planes were evacuated in seattle and then they were searched for explosives. a third flight from los angeles to orlando had to be diverted to dallas. still no leads on who made these online threats or the threats

shocking new reports claiming convicted al-qaeda terrorist released from a super max prison was part of a proposed deal to free an american couple who happened to be jailed in qatar. our next guest who worked on that case says he knows for a fact the idea of a swap was floated to the ambassador to qatar at the time. and we're fortunate to have richard grenell. this broke in the daily beast but this was was not news to you. tell us about it. >> well, we've seen a lot of prisoner swaps floated from other countries to the united states. we've actually seen the state department negotiate on some. in this instance, we learned a long time ago that during meetings on the couple with the state department, u.s. ambassador at the time, susan ziadi, was in her office talking to some qataris when the qataris

floated the idea of a prisoner swap specifically mentioning al mari. what's interesting, this prisoner in the united states at the time has the exact same last name as the qatari attorney general. so the individual that was floating the name to u.s. ambassador susan. >> iadi was a close confidante of the attorney general. so we knew that the qataris wanted al mari and floating this idea. what we have now is the state department is going on the record to say, we did not negotiate for al mari in that case. what we're trying to say is, look, i don't know if the state department negotiated. that's not the accusation. the accusation is that the qataris and others are seeing this slippery slope and they're asking for prisoner swaps. they see the united states and specifically the state department -- as willing to talk

about prisoner swaps, so they offered this. on a clear cut case with matt and grace, they were accused by the qatari government of something they flatly did not do, the evidence pointed to that. the idea that there would be a prisoner exchange for them is offensive and i'm glad to see that the state department say unequivocally, we did not negotiate. but they're also dancing around the fact that this was floated to them and that they created -- they themselves created a slippery slope. after all, the president of the united states thanked the emir of qatar during the bergdahl. >> that's a great point. and i had forgotten that. but rick they're both out now and there was the couple that wanted to make sure they were not part of this swap because they don't feel that they were legitimate prisoners. however, do you know of our response to this? was our response open to this because it seems to have created a swap apoluzza after as we

have isis saying japan, instead of giving us money, why don't we get some people? >> the most troubling part for me is that we've sent a message to our friends and allies and even our enemies that we'll negotiate, that we are going to negotiate for some really bad guys some high value al-qaeda operative. and the state department is clearly on the side of saying we can reform them in prison. the only reason to release al mari is if you absolutely believe that he has changed his ways. he was are released on good behavior s what they're saying. but the slippery slope, i think, is the biggest problem. i don't know exactly the details. i'm no longer privy to classified information. i don't know what, if anything, the state department did do to negotiate. they are claiming that they did not negotiate at all. i take them at their word. but there is no disputing the fact -- i don't care what they

say. the idea was floated and we know that from our team. we heard it even before -- we heard it months ago. we heard this a long time ago. this isn't new information. it's only new information coming out now. >> we have the source talking to us this morning. thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. straight ahead security scare at the white house. we're live with the breaking details. and why pope francis is ditching doves for balloons. ♪ ♪

system right now. you can see the snow stretching from parts of ohio to new jersey and new york city. the timing on the storm system as far as when the worst of the conditions will be will be overnight tonight into tomorrow. that's when we're looking at thunder snow possible, snowfall rates of two to four inches per hour and that feet of snow will be accumulating. that 6:00 a.m. tuesday, heavy snow from parts of new jersey new york city to boston. and even parts of southern maine. let's head back inside. >> all right. thank you very much. we did earlier ask you what is your best blizzard survival tip? we had some great answers including one guy ho said the number one thing you need is beer. >> he comes from miami, by the way. >> charles says this on facebook, salt your front steps before it starts. and possible up your wiper blades. great tip there. >> dave on facebook, good bottle of scotch and grandkids to shovel the driveway.

recovered by the secret service at the white house. early indications are that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat right now to anybody at the white house. but as the secret service has more information about their investigation about what they've been able to learn about this, they'll share more information on this. >> reporter: they are still working on it, even at this hour. in fact, about ten minutes ago, we saw probable low about 20 different secret service personnel doing cq duty, going bush by bush, scanning the grounds, making sure there is nothing else that can be found related to what we found overnight. drones if you're unfamiliar with them, can really range in size. they can be as big as hundreds of pounds or small as a tenth of a pound and they can range in price from 40 bucks all the way up to thousands of dollars. back to you. >> you can get them at radio shack. i think people are asking for them for christmas. santa brought some. >> a lot of people have these you're right. >> kevin cork on the north lawn of the white house where they're looking for devices on the lawn

look at the headlines now. pope francis letting the doves out for good. instead of releasing the birds of peace at the vatican. the pope will now send balloons in the air. the change comes after a dove was attacked by a sea gull and a crow. it was two against one. and the church of england consecrates a first fee ball bishop. libby lane was ordained this morning. this comes more than 20 years after women became priests in the church. good news, price at the pump dropping once again. the national average now at 2.03 a gallon.

>> so how long will it last and how low will it go? what's really going on behind the scenes? maria bartiromo joins us. good morning. >> good morning. >> is it as simple as supply and demand? >> absolutely. there is a lot of supply. you have america and the shale revolution. you've got libya with a civil war producing oil. you've got the iraqis producing oil, the saudis will not give up market share. all this oil has contributed to the decline in the price. obviously that's a lot of supply. and there is the demand side of the story and things are weakening around the world. europe is weak. china has slowed down from the peak levels. and as a result, there is just lower demand. so you're not seeing the kind of buying. >> miles per gallon has gone up, too. that adds to it. one of the saudi's goals to destroy our shale industry? because a lot are hurting. >> i think that's part of the issue. however, i don't think they would go to this extent to push prices lower because it actually is costing them a lot of money. >> it's backfiring if they are. >> exactly right. however, they will not give up on market share.

they will not give in not even one or two million barrels a at this to actually stop producing, not put as much oil on the market so prices go up. why? because they feel like another opec or nonopec country will jump in and take that market share. what they will do is they're going to just tolerate $50 or below oil for as long as they can and watch shale companies go out of business. that's what you want to watch in terms of the negative implications for america. this has been the growth story of america. >> how do isis and iran play into this? >> obviously isis is trying to sell oil on the black market. sell it for cheap prices and they're doing it. and they've got their customers. we're trying to figure out who are the bad actors in the world. when is buying that oil from isis exactly? that's been the speculation. but at this point, we can't do anything to stop that black oil. so that's just more oil from the bad actors on the market. there is no doubt that's a except. >> we're talking about the producers of oil. in the meantime for the rest of us yea. >> yeah. it's a positive. you know what i say, yea. we've been talking about the positive implications for a long

time. i do think at some point it will start flowing through the economy because no doubt about it, you used to pay 60, $80 to fill up your suv or whatever and now you're paying $50. you had that extra money in your pocket. however, so far people have not plowed it back into the economy. retail sales were down in december. i think january, february, march will probably see this flow into the economy. we have the gdp report out this friday. that's always a market mover. maybe that will give us clues. >> she has a fox on fox business. go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder where she's predicting 20 inches of snow because she's wearing 20-inch heels. >> thank you very much. >> it's all about the shin. >> thanks. up next, imagine you're on a plane and the guy next to you starts having a heart attack. what would you do? you are about to meet two men who did something quite incredible. it's the best story of the day.

in great distress. you asked the air team for the advance medical kit from the crew. what is that? >> on all the aircraft, they have oxygen. they have an aed an automatic external defibrillator and a medical kit with the captain for doctors, paramedics and nurses. >> so alex, that's what you were doing. donovan, you were in another part of the plane. you were with the dogs at the time. what did you do? >> i looked down the aisle and i noticed that alex was down at the other end of the plane with an elderly gentleman on the floor. the flight attendant made a call for anyone that was a doctor or paramedic or physician to go ahead and press the flight attendant button and i heard about ten of those go off. at that time i put the dogs in a down space so they could stay at their location and went to the back to see what was going on with the gentleman and alex. >> so you just told the dogs

stay and gave them the stay command and they did it? >> yeah. these are highly trained canines and they stayed the whole time. i remember looking up a time or two from the end of the aisle and they were down there curious what we were doing. but they were definitely not breaking from the stay command. >> awesome. so alex, you were able to give the guy an i.v. and you had the defibrillator there. then what happened? >> actually when he collapsed in my arms i laid him onto the floor and immediately started cpr 'cause i noticed that when i did a pulse check, he didn't have a pulse and he wasn't breathing. so i immediately started cpr. then that's when donovan came back. after i got a pulse back, we still hooked him up to the external defibrillator and then that's when donovan came back and he was the one that started the i.v. >> i got you. donovan, how is the guy today? do we know? >> the great part about the end of that call, because it was a

call at 30,000 feet up in the air, was we got the patient back, he had stable vital signs throughout. his blood pressure respiratory rate. he was talking just like you and i are talking right now. we were able to get some information so he can call his wife when he was on the way to the hospital. i haven't gotten any follow-up. i know when he left our care, he was in a lot better condition. >> you guys were in the right place at the right time. you say that the crew was unbelievable. they helped you out. when you asked the captain, can you please land this plane? he did just that. >> he did. it was remarkable. kudos to the united crew. from matt and julie, they were phenomenal. they knew where the equipment was. they helped us. the captain, i had to tell him, i declared an emergency and we need to land and he said done. >> done indeed. donovan and alex, we got a
