love thunder snow. i love snow, thunder and lightning in general. >> good for you. he'll have a good day then. steve writes so far so good here in destin florida. yeah. enjoy that. >> 26 million of us. >> as long as the power stays on i'm all good. >> see you tomorrow. >> have a great day. jon: fox news alert as weather conditions deteriorate in the northeast. massive storm system already dumping snow across several states. good morning to you. hope you're staying warm. i'm jon scott. jenna: and i'm jenna lee. power is one of the big concerns out there today. blizzard warnings stretching hundreds of miles from new jersey to maine. potentially historic storm system is forecasted to bring several feet of snow. the big problem here are the hurricane force winds that everyone is expecting. with the latest on this system,
8:01 am
our fox news senior correspondent is getting up close and personal with the storm. he's live on long island. >> the national weather service is calling this a crippling and potentially historic blizzard possible i the biggest snow to hit new york city. also high winds up to 70 miles an hour and widespread coastal flooding warnings as well. they're concerned about the roads and possible whiteout conditions. right now it's not bad as you can see here on the long island expressway. it's not sticking yet but they are only expecting one to three inches by today. tonight you could see one to three inches every hour. we've seen a number of snow plows roll by here and 500 salt spreaders already activated in new york city. already warnings about possible highway closings including the long island expressway. the new york state thruway and i-84. trains may stop rolling, including the long island
8:02 am
expressway and new york city subways and in connecticut, the governor has issued a statewide travel ban that will take effect at 9:00 tonight. >> it is imperative that you have a plan in place to get home safely this evening before the heavy snow begins and remain there through the duration of the storm. >> we should also tell you that thousands much flights have already been cancelled today, tomorrow and wednesday. that includes up to 1,000 flights on jet blou delta cancelling hundreds more, united as well. they're cancelling flights in a number of area airports including boston, philadelphia along with newark j.f.k. and la guardia and the road situation could be very, very bad so they're saying if you don't have a reason to travel you should not be on the roads today, tonight or tomorrow. jenna: and ripple effects nationwide because of that travel disruption. thank you very much. jon: we turn to politics and the fast moving changes coming to the 2016 g.o.p. field.
8:03 am
new jersey governor chris christie is taking the first concrete steps toward a presidential campaign. launching a political action committee called leadership matters for america. the announcement comes as christie spoke in iowa this weekend along with a handful of g.o.p. hopefuls who want to win the support of those crucial voters and donors. we have the senior editor of the daily caller and the politics editor at roll call. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. jon: who made the combig impression? iowa? >> scott walker came out of the gates. he had a huge, overwhelmingly positive reaction to his candidacy and i think that's notable. we should say there's a whole long way to go until the iowa caucuses and it's a huge field. but for scott walker who really hasn't spent a lot of time in d.c., i think for reporters and people who haven't gotten to know him well this was a great
8:04 am
opportunity and he performed quite well in it. jon: he's been elected really three times under some pretty adverse circumstances in wisconsin. will he be one of those to beat? >> there's no questions about his record in wisconsin. as you mentioned, he's kind of considered a conservative hero for fighting the labor union, fighting a recall petition and winning those battles but there were questions whether he's charismatic enough to win a presidential primary and a presidential election and he kind of wowed the crowd this week in iowa. maybe he didn't necessarily put all those questions to rest but he certainly nullified them and i think the accounts seem to be that he's the winner basic of this weekend not because he may have been the best speaker but he helped put concerns a little bit to rest and now can move forward campaigning on his -- in republican circles, his tremendous record. jon: and notable, the names who weren't there jeb bush didn't
8:05 am
attend and neither did mitt romney. both of them potentially frontrunners at this point. what about that? why weren't they there? >> well this is kind of interesting to me, too. if you look at the conservatives who usually pick the republican iowa caucuses, this is very very conservative relative to all the other conservatives in the united states right? it's pretty hard for an establishment, you might call them, or more moderate candidate to really do well especially if there were three of them running. so we're looking at a pretty crowded field just in terms of republican primary between jeb bush, mitt romney and chris christie. all vying for that kind of establishment vote in the iowa caucuses so it's possible we'll see one or two of them skip the iowa caucuses together and skip for new hampshire and maybe florida and maybe that's the reason mitt romney wasn't there. he might skip iowa this time around. jon: it may be a crowded field but it's going to get more crowded, isn't it? >> it's almost easier to say who is not running than who is
8:06 am
running. there's probably fewer people not running and it will get more crowded. you will see more people trying to get their name in the hat. some i think just to kind of build their profile, maybe to get a message out, maybe to seek a cabinet position maybe to increase the speaker fees even. in others, about six or seven, they're serious contenders who can win this thing and we'll see that field kind of weed itself out over this long process which i really think in many ways began this weekend in iowa with all of these contenders there trying to make themselves though them they're the candidates to win. so this process is going to be a long process and we'll see how things play out over this year process until we see actual votes in the caucuses and primaries. jon: karl rove said that one of those who he thought made a very powerful impression was carley fiorina. >> she's someone who went out there and took on hillary clinton and as someone who is a woman, she has more of an
8:07 am
ability to not look sexist by doing so. i don't know if she's looking to be an actual serious contender. she may enter the race but she could be a serious possible especially if hillary is the nominee, vice presidential candidate. she has a business background so she'll be interesting to watch. she's definitely trying to put her name out there more and more in the last several weeks. jon: last time we saw so many republican candidates everybody virtually certain that they could beat president obama after his first term. there was a lot of blood letting that went on in the republican primary season. is that going to happen again or is it just the way the best man or woman has to win it? >> well we might not see a primary that really kind of went on until basically april or may this time around. if the republican national committee has anything to do with it, they'll want this sewn up by march. in the end it not only affects the candidates' quality, all of this blood bath going back and
8:08 am
forth through multiple debates but also affects their fundraising, right? any dollar spent a lot of republican candidates can be dollars going toward preparing for a general election. not technically under the rules sometimes but that's essentially how it works so i think that republican leadership in washington has anything to do with it they'll want a short and concise and decisive primary. jon: thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. jenna: officials are calling this a major symbolic victory for the u.s.-led coalition and the kurds after months of fighting, kurdish fighters are close to pushing isis out of the syrian border town of cobani. >> let's look at it like this. let me give you an example. back in september, isis militants planted their black flag in a hill over kobani.
8:09 am
that flag has been ripped down and kurdish fighters planted their flag instead. we were getting reports that kurdish fighters have taken -- had taken about 90% right around 90% of kobani back. now we're getting information they kicked isis militants out. why is this important? important for a number of reasons. it's a major victory for kurdish fighters that have been engaged in a bloody tug of war, brutal tug of war with isis since september and it's symbolic for the united states and its coalition allies. losing kobani would have meant losing that critical border crossing. it would have added to the large sections of syria and iraq that isis militants already control. but those kurdish forces, okay, while remaining steadfast and committed to the fight had critical help from the u.s.
8:10 am
coalition air strikes. on average, more than a dozen per day on isis positions in and around kobani. it's a hit that really, that really cleared out the militants. and showed also that the u.s. and its coalition allies are making a difference in the fight and big gains against isis with help from the air strikes and also from ground forces. but at this point, while this is a major victory and represents huge gains for those kurdish fighters, for the u.s. coalition, now it's also all about keeping control of kobani. >> a great point to end on. thank you very much. jon: she seems to be a supremely devoted mom to her sick 5-year-old son. even keeping social media followers up to date on his medical condition. but prosecutors believe she was secretly poisoning her little boy. the latest in this case. and the leaders of the g.o.p.
8:11 am
laying out the party's agenda now that republicans are in control of both houses of congress. what they are prepared to fight the president on and where they think they could reach a compromise. plus we want to hear from you. who would you like to see run for president on the g.o.p. side? our live chat is up and running.
8:13 am
8:14 am
are you talking to websites again? this website says 'free credit scores'. oh. credit karma! yeah, it's really free. look, you don't even have to put in your credit card information. what?! credit karma. really free credit scores. really. free. i could talk to you all day. jon: new information and some crime stories. jury selection today in new york for young mother accused of killing her 5-year-old son by putting salt in the boy's feeding tube. prosecutors claim lacy spears pretended to be a good mom, keeping social media up to date on her son's medical condition. overseas now prosecutors in the deadly costa concordia cruise ship disaster are asking for a 26-year prison sentence for the captain. he's accused of causing the ship wreck and abandoning ship while
8:15 am
many passengers and crew members were on board. here at home jury selection continues for the third murder trial of a new york businessman accused of killing his wife. her body was never found and neither was a weapon. calvin harris' two previous con vicks much overturned by appeals courts. >> now the republicans control both houses of congress. house speaker john boehner and mitch mc connell speaking with "60 minutes" strategy ahead. for more on that mike immanuel is live with the latest. >> unusual joint interview between the top two republicans here on capitol hill. the new senate majority leader suggests that president obama is back in campaign mode. >> first thought was it sounded like he was running for a third term. he seemed to have completely forgotten or chose to ignore the election last november. he was looking out at an
8:16 am
audience that had 80 more republicans in it than his first state of the union. >> the president said in that state of the union address he has no more campaigns to run and reminded republicans that he knows that because he won both of them. the republican leaders of congress declared many of the president's state of the union ideas as too expensive and some as dead on arrival. for example, raising taxes on upper income earners, making community college free and raising the minimum wage. on national security top congressional republicans believe the president undersole the iran nuclear threat and the spread of al qaeda, isis and what they call islam i cans -- islamic extremism. >> this problem is growing all over the world and the president is trying to act like it's not there but it is there. and it's going to be a threat to our homeland if we don't address it in a bigger way. >> both suggest the president could have offered them an olive branch in terms of issues that
8:17 am
he wanted to work on. they suggest there are issues they want to work with the president on but there seems to be a lack of trust between the white house and congressional leaders. jenna: mike thank you. jon: movie "american sniper" is breaking records at the box office but also getting negative buzz. what the critics are saying about the oscar nominated blockbuster. plus one country taking drastic measures to keep extremist fighters out. how they could use a massive wall to try to ward off isis. ur pocket right now? i have $40 $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪ ♪

8:21 am
challenges, including isis in syria. saudi arabia is pulling a page from the history books, building a 600 mile quote, unquote, great wall along the iraq border to help keep extremists at bay. u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia under president g.w. bush joins us now. >> you say this wall predates isis. tell us about it. >> when we had completed the invasion of iraq in 2003, king abdullah said to me he wanted american air force planes to patrol the border with iraq. he was concerned about drug trafficking and militants coming into saudi arabia. we didn't have the assets at that time to provide that surveillance and king abdullah was very unhappy about it. for the last seven or eight years they've been tendering bids for the construction of some sort of border security system. many companies around the world had fiercely bided in a
8:22 am
competitive basis for these contracts and so this is something that predates isis but going forward, they have decided the time has come. jenna: the border wall if you will is not even just one wall. it has several layers to it. we actually have another full screen, i hope we can show that to viewers as well because it talks about the technology. you have 40 radar towers, 120 feet high. you constantly sweep a radius of nearly 25 miles for any move many. there's cameras for daytime nighttime. you say even though isis drug trafficking are among the concerns for saudi arabia, iran is also a big concern. and that has something to do with this wall as well. why? >> well absolutely because iran is supporting the shiite-led government in iraq. and there are many opportunities
8:23 am
for shiite militants, if you will and other adversaries of saudi arabia to come in and filtrate saudi arabia and particularly saudis' eastern province which has a shiite population that the iranians are being accused of having encouraged to revolt and provide more dissent than the saudis would care for. so there's a serious issue there with iran but it has a lot to do with militant threats from iraq coming in and there's also a border with yemen that they're looking at doing the same thing with. jenna: that is about 1,000 miles long so they're also looking to the south. there are some mixed messages from saudi arabia as well. as "the washington post" raises today, there are questions about those inside saudi arabia actually funding those extremists. one saudi activist said this.
8:24 am
in the middle east it's nothing new. you create your own terrorists then pretend you're fighting them. saudis didn't even invent it but they sure are good at t. what do you think about, that ambassador? >> i think that's kind of a cynical view. i stood shoulder to shoulder with saudis fighting extremists and never had the slightest hint that the saudi leadership had anything to do with inciting terrorists or encouraging them. jenna: the article wasn't speaking specifically about the saudi government but those using charities within saudi arabia private people to then funnel money to these groups. >> and that is a concern. we had the same concern 10 years ago that certain charities were funneling money to extremists and the saudis finally began clamping down on them. so much of the financial transactions in the middle east are done in cash that it's very difficult to monitor the flow of funds to these organizations and then on to the terrorists so the saudis are playing catchup in a
8:25 am
way to find ways to pen straight -- penetrate the cells. it's been a huge challenge for them and for us at their side. >> it's a great irony. the government is investing in this huge wall but then private investors invest in the terrorists. we mentioned these have been reported over the years and certainly something to keep an eye on. you were in saudi arabia right after 9/11. to 2003 i believe, ambassador you can correct me if i'm wrong. i'm just curious if you have any opinion that the first order of business our president should speak with with the new king of saudi arabia, where are our priorities with the country and how important are they to us right now in the world? >> well, first of all, the president needs to develop a personal relationship with king salmon. so much of business in the middle east is done on a personal level. i saw this at the president bush in 2002 when you bonded with then crown prince abdullah so i think that this is something at
8:26 am
the very top of the list. second, i think we have to have a continuation of our strategic dialogue defining what we want from each other. so often we've simply para chute people in and ask for things from the saudis without really talking about what the relationship is about. it's basically about security fighting terrorism, maintaining a stable oil economy and maintaining credibility in the muslim world. i think we need the saudis i don't think we can write them off even though we're tending to pivot toward other parts of the world. we can't do business in the middle east without a strong relationship with saudi arabia. jenna: interesting to see the points as you map them out. mission statement between the two countries. thank you so much for your time today. >> thanks, jenna. jon: the movie "american sniper" very much hitting the bull's eye at the box office. fans flocking to see the film but critics are taking big shots at it and its audience. our media panel weighs in on the

8:32 am
it raising such a ruckus in the media and elsewhere? >> well i think it ruins effective lit leftist narrative that everything about the war is evil. that america was evil. it humanizes the situation. and really the movie is so complex everybody is coming away with a different impression. a lot of people would argue it was antiwar. clint eastwood, as you noted says it is. it does reopen the argument there is more to what goes on with this nation than the left would like to purport. there is more about the nature of that war in particular that was important, that people don't want to have discussed. and this brings in the humanity of this dynamic, the value of it for some people, the importance for others and for others in fact yeah some of the heart break and trouble. >> what is the liberal narrative this destroys. >> that america is evil. >> who says that is the liberal america that america is evil. >> war is shallow. >> war is wrong. >> not necessarily.
8:33 am
the end result of -- >> went there under false pretenses. >> no, actually we didn't. >> simply say liberal america is america is evil is absurd. >> when you think about michael moore. >> i don't agree with michael moore. and most people don't. michael moore don't represent most leftist. >> i think they do. that is what americans hear and what they see is this notion that everything that america does is bad. this movie smashes that notion. >> i think what happens, conservatives would like people to believe michael moore represents a liberal mind-set and how all liberals think. i don't believe a sniper a coward. if you're a sniper, what you want to do for a living and go into war and kill people, kyle apparently went to war not because of heroic reasons in this movie he wanted to be a soldier and he enjoyed being a sniper. and what kind after mind-set is it that enjoys doing that for living? lt. general mad dissaid it is fun killing people. that is unique way of looking at
8:34 am
things. >> maybe it is not about fun and killing people. >> that was said. >> maybe mattis doesn't represent chris kyle. maybe you do what you do to defend the country. kill more people that -- >> more people are killed because of our wars. >> save lives by eliminating the individuals who would blow up a marketplace and murdering women and children. >> i don't know about save lives. we've killed more people since 9/11 than in response to 9/11. jon: the point kyle makes eloquently in his book, that he feels if he hadn't been there taking out some of these people and they had to be armed, they had to be threatening american troops, in order for him to take the shot, we would have lost many more -- >> bigger story, we had no reason to be in iraq. >> alan doesn't want to answer the question. great job. >> the point is, bigger issue we should have never been there in the first place. we're talking about the sniper and talking about chris kyle and fact yes, he saved lives doing what he did. also say with the media about angry men who are watching it.
8:35 am
half of them are woman going to see this. >> you are right about that. >> play that clip from howard dean, former democratic presidential pursued the democratic presidential nomination. here is what he had to say to bill maher. >> there is a lot of anger in this country and 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 across-section of tea party and see the people go see this movie, there is lot of intersection. jon: now it's a tea party movie. >> i think howard dean is wrong. i think michael moore is wrong. >> so everybody is wrong. >> apparently. you're only partially wrong. >> you about you have to that is the narrative coming out. why do they need to do that. >> here is what happens, right-wing look what this liberal says what that liberal says. >> what are they worried about it. >> as if they think that the
8:36 am
entire narrative of the left. >> why is that the narrative right now? >> that is narrative you want to make up. you think crazy things said by leftist. >> howard dean is not michael moore. >> he doesn't represent my point of view nor does michael moore. >> who does? >> the film establishes difficulties warfighters face when they have to leave their families behind. >> had a very good point as antiwar movie shows horrors of war. i thought he was exactly right there, is antiwar message here. >> but it also, what it does, this is the thing that think expands the discussion. is that it shows you the thought that the, the dynamic, the requirements, the rules the elements why people are doing this. there was something larger at stake. that it wasn't just about people going to war because they like killing people which is what the narrative has been. >> that is what he said. >> bloodlust pogue through. this is why you see it in reviews. see it in those kinds of comments this is disturbing
8:37 am
because it shakes up the narrative they have not had to challenged i think from the beginning. now being challenged. >> kyle was a guy who lost a lawsuit from jesse ventura, making false claims about a bar fight. other things are unsubstantiated, going after snipers after katrina. >> why are you going after him. >> we're trying to paint this guy all one way. he is more complex person than the movie would let on. >> no, we're not. there is clearly different reaction to the film. it is not that there is just one way of a painting of this kind of a guy because of differences in reactions. that tells you the depth of the story, that i think disturbs some poo on the left. >> the -- misses we shouldn't have been there in the first place. jon: he makes the point time and time again in hierarchy of his life, his country came first even ahead of his family. his wife had a hard time dealing with. that. a fascinating discussion a great book. >> reason why the movie is doing so well. jon: alan colmes, tammy bruce.
8:38 am
thank you. >> thank you jon. >> did you know how many cars grandpa has? >> no, i didn't. >> nobody has an hair tans like the one we've been bequeathed. >> no a amusement park in the world has been owned in a family as long as this one. >> in the world value is rising with every fold. >> my grandfather left the largest privately owned collection of insects in the world. >> inherit ad small portion of a family ranch. came with that a few exciting surprises. jenna: how cool is that? fox business is on a strange new adventure with, a strange new series, taking us across the united states how real american lives are impacted by "strange inheritance." jamie colby is host of this exciting new show. she joins us now. those cars are my favorite. i'm curious what yours are. tellius about the show. >> more than 3,000 cars. the family found out their loved one left 52 locations i believe
8:39 am
it was cars, all in pristine condition. takes 100 volunteers every day to come to keep the cars in great shape. jenna, you put it so well. these are real americans with great american stories. they get left something that put them in the spotlight where we're concerned. we show up on their doorstep. my mom gave me the greatest permission slip to a field trip ever. eight months, 25 states. great families. i learned about coins. i learned about maps. i learned about dinosaurs and alligators. cars. jenna: what did you learn about the alligators and the dinosaurs specifically. >> there were 2500 alligators and crocodiles left to a family in florida. they actually have a bate tore park called gatorrama i'm fossil hunting with a fossil expert got ranchland not big enough to feed his family. he find as dinosaur skull. he teaches me how to fossil hunt.
8:40 am
i find a trail, i can't tell you. you have to watch. jenna: i'm actually just like to keep that clip up. did you have a favorite adventure, jamie? 25 states is a lot. a lot of families as you mentioned. is there you need to stay say your favorite but one that sticks with you? >> tonight kind of blew my mind. two episodes running tonight. here is the contrast. one is a baseball card collection came around just at right time for a family. if they sold the whole family at once the experts say it would have crashed entire baseball card market not just their collection but everybody's collection. that is how significant it was. that's a mind blower. on the other hand, two out of work actors you may or may not remember from years past, one was on the young and restless. get a letter they inherit ad huge intears tans from someone they never met. is it a scam? is it for real? it changed their lives. i had a blast, jenna. great for you to be back. great that i'm pack. i can't wait to share this we
8:41 am
have 26 different families. half hour each. 9:00 eastern fox business. the power to prosper. i think these families did. jenna: watching promos. can't wait to hear about it. don't miss jamie on our sister network f you're not sure where to find fox business in your area. log on to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. jon what are you leaving me is the question all of us would like to know? jon: i went through my sock drawer yesterday. i have a collection of old socks. >> i bet you did. could be a "strange inheritance." we'll take that. jon: any show with dinosaur fossils is all right with me. new troubles for malaysia airlines still reeling from the mysterious disappearance of one of its planes. and a deadly shoot-down of another. the hacking that just hit the airline's website. plus oil plummets to a near six-year low. will it continue to drop and who
8:45 am
jenna: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at top of the hour. hi ladies. >> jenna, first of all we'll continue our coverage. up to three feet of snow, hurricane-force winds, thousands of flights already canceled. national weather forecasters call this a potentially epic event, a blizzard bearing down. in its path 50 million people. the latest from meteorologist janice dean in the extreme very extreme weather center today. >> plus an al qaeda terrorist just freed from supermax prison, possibly part of a prisoner swap. so did bottom berg gall deal open up a pandora's box? >> a stunning new report shows 80% of 10-year-old girls have been on a diet at one point or another. is social media to blame? >> it is a big part. all that plus our hashtag one lucky guy.
8:46 am
>> we're warm here on the curvy couch. thank you very much. jon: new problems for malaysia airlines. the website has been hacked. visitors to malaysia airlines.com see the in message, isis will prevail. a group calling itself "lizard squad" is taking credit for the attack. they took the same responsibility for hacks on sony and microsoft xbox servers. this comes after a disappearance of one malaysia plane and downing of another over ukraine. jenna: information on the energy markets with oil prices continuing to plunge to a near six-year low amid signs that saudi arabia's new king will keep the country's production policy the same as it has been other last year or some joining us from the fox business network is cheryl casone. cheryl why is that key to the market? what does the new saudi arabian king has to say? >> anything that the saudis do
8:47 am
is the oil market. they are the biggest producers. they're the ones that still hold all the cards although you will see headlines crossing that say that the u.s. has more power we don't. let's be clear here. the saudis want to keep their production going. it is all their economy is about. they need to buy more jet planes i'm sure. the saudis basically are coming out and saying they would keep the same. they threw up their hand last time opec got together. iranians are angry at saudis. u.s. is frustrated. saudis are keeping all the oil flowing out into the world when it doesn't need to be. we have levels of oil in this country we haven't seen since 1930. the price of oil down 60% since last june. average gallon of gasoline for u.s. consumers, two bucks and three cents. leveled off over the last three days. i think that is interesting. one of the things going on behind the scenes because the saudis threw up their hands saying well things will
8:48 am
