groundhog is grumpy. the groundhog biting the mayor's ear in wisconsin but looks like spring is on the air. >> looks like it was just inevitable. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. have a great day. bye. >> yes it does. good morning to you. it is tuesday february 3. i'm ainsley earhardt filling in for elisabeth this morning. we start with a fox news alert. a deadly winter storm bringing travel for millions to a standstill. commuters waking up to black ice plunging temperatures and piles of snow. plus more bad news. we are tracking another storm on the way. >> wait a minute. yesterday was groundhog day. then measles outbreak spreads to 14 states and potential candidate for 2016 president getting in on the debate. >> what's more important? what you think of a parent than what you think as a public official? there has to be a balance.

it depends on what the disease type is and the rev. >> should our government get involved in whether or not our kids get shots? we're going to talk about that. >> think your comeet is -- commute is bad? this man cannot afford a car but makes no excuses. he walks 21 miles to work every day. he's a hard-working man and he is here live. by the way we did give him a car. mornings are better with friend. >> this is joe perry from aerosmith. you're watching "fox & friends." >> we didn't give him a car. we gave him a ride. >> exactly. >> the other guests had a complaint. how come he got a car. >> it is our best story. >> in the meantime we've got to get to this and it is extreme weather. 100 million americans in the midwest and the northeast waking up in the deep freeze a dangerous snow and ice storm crippling travel and

leaving as many as nine people dead so far. >> just look at that massive pileup. dozens of cars crashing near chicago. amazingly there are only minor injuries in worcester, massachusetts men working together to push a car that got stuck. >> in new york city icy tracks to blame for stranding a busy subway line. commuters stopped with no heat on a packed train for more than two and a half hours. >> and you know why the ice -- the tracks got iced up? because somebody dropped an umbrella on the third rail and it -- there was all sorts of problems. >> others were freezing up top because they couldn't get on a subway so they sat up there in 11 degree temperatures. >> this happens a lot. people get stranded underground and you can't use cell phone service. i think about what about

those moms and dads who can't get home to their kids because they're stuck for two and a half hours. >> when the snow melter and ice melter doesn't work on the roads and right now in new york city it is 15 degrees. is that cold? >> take a look at wind chill temperatures out there. in new york city, it feels like one degree below zero, feels like three below in buffalo, in chicago it feels like three degrees below zero. in atlanta your current wind chill out there, 16 degrees. you've got to bundle up. we have black ice concerns down into maryland and delaware. we have winter weather advisories that have been issued because of the slick roadways. otherwise that storm system responsible for more than a foot of know across parts

of new england moved out of the region. the snow over with across parts of maine leaving behind cold and blustery conditions. across southern texas we're tracking areas of rain. in the pacific northwest we have energy with areas of rain and snow. eventually some of the energy from these systems are going to head east and we're looking at a potential storm system impacting the northeast as we head into thursday. computer models again disagreeing here. this is a european model. it is showing more snow across portions of southern new england, a little bit more of a powerful storm and a track closer to the coast. but the american model keeping that storm system farther offshore and with that, most of the snow farther off towards the east. we're looking at two differing computer models. a lot could change. we'll keep you updated. let's head back inside. >> for more on the impact of the winter weather let's go to heather nauert who starts with just that. >> good morning. brian, great to have you back. welcome back from super bowl. all right, i've got news to bring you and this is a fox

weather alert. the weather is making a mess for hundreds of thousands of travelers from coast to coast. 7,000 flights have been grounded in the past three days, this now affecting 400,000 frustrated fliers. then to add to the misery, delta passengers dealt with check-in problems due to a website glitch. what a pain that would be. a lot of folks forced to wait in long lines to reschedule flights some even spending the night in the airport sleeping on the floor. those cancellations still piling up. more than 500 flights have been scrapped today. new overnight, a nationwide manhunt for a suspected mass murderer now coming to a close. police arresting 26-year-old thomas jesse lee. they say he left his georgia house after allegedly killing five people, including his wife, his in-laws and his stepdaughter. police in mississippi caught him at a bus station where he was trying to make his way to alabama. the guy who gave him a ride there tipped off police. he has now been extradited

back to georgia. fighting for her life and now surrounded by family whitney houston's daughter is reportedly showing some signs of improvement but it's still not clear if bobbi kristina has brain damage. she was found face down in a bath tub over the weekend and sources say she is now moving her eyes and her brain swelling has gone down. this morning tmz reports police did find drugs in her home. last night super bowl champions new england patriots arriving home in massachusetts. hundreds of fans braving that brutally cold weather to welcome back their team to gillette stadium. >> we're number one! >> the head coach bill belichick makes his way inside the stadium. the victory parade in bonn has been postponed until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow because that city is still digging out from more than a foot of fresh snow. those are your headlines. see you back here.

>> these people go through the snow to watch their team sit on a heated stage. >> they're that excited. they want to cheer them on. >> as the measles outbreak spreads to 14 states across our country the debate over vaccines has intensified and now presidential hopefuls are weighing in. peter doocy joins us from washington, d.c. with more on the story. >> reporter: not the kind of headline you'd expect to come out of a trip to england. governor christie generated controversy by declining to recommend measles outbreak for every child in the context of an outbreak here at home. >> what's more important than what you think as a parent than what you think as a public official. there has to be a balance. it depends on what the outbreak is, disease type is and the rest. >> his office put out a

statement saying the governor is saying no question kids should be vaccinated. considering the ripple effect this issue is in the 2016 race, hillary clinton tweeted this quote, the science is clear. the earth is round, the sky is blue and hash tag vaccines work. let's all protect our kids. grandmothers know best. someone at home may be wondering can someone be elected president by taking a position like christie? >> we've seen a skyrocketing autism rate. nobody knows exactly why. there are some people suspicious it is connected to vaccines and triggers. this person included. the science right now is inconclusive but we have to research it. >> that was the president in pennsylvania in 2008. this weekend he told nbc that it's a major success of civilization to be able to prevent diseases that previously wiped out parts of the population. so the president now wants

people to get their kids vaccinated. back to you in new york. >> he does. all right, peter, thank you very much. it goes to show you how this has suddenly become a political football. >> because everybody can relate to this. either you had vaccines yourself or you have kids or grandkids. >> in light of the fact there is this measles outbreak right now across the country and why is that? because there are some parents who believe there's false information about vaccines including the claims it causes autism. there are no two sides to the issue. the vaccines work. >> many people saying if you don't want to get your kids vaccinated send them to a private school. don't put them in a public school system because it is not fair to the other kids who have to be in school with them. >> a lot of people are all over -- celebrities are coming forward. holly robinson peete, toni braxton are parents of autistic kids and they say they are not anti-vaccines

because they have been mischaracterized. they want to maybe reduce the schedule and the toxins that are in the vaccines. >> there are a lot of doctors that will do that. they'll space out the vaccines so your kids don't have to get four or five vaccines in the first months of their lives. >> there are also people out there who have said look, we're not going to get it because it causes autism. there has been no link to that. unfortunately, a lot of people, they're busy, they don't do the research. when our kids came along we talked to the pediatrician. the pediatrician said you do this and we did it. >> pediatricians are not working for the government. their only agenda is to keep kids healthy and safe and if you ask pediatricians, they say get your kids -- >> judge napolitano had a great comment yesterday and that was this. let's say you don't get your kid vaccinated and your kid goes to school and gets somebody else sick, you're responsible for getting that other kid sick. >> a lot of people say don't tell me what to do with my kids.

i'll decide. governor christie and senator rand paul kind of said that. they said i don't want to tell people what to do but i would recommend vaccines and that blew the lid off everything. we've got to ask you are you comfortable with having everyone be forced to get vaccinated or do you want to still make that decision? >> send your e-mails to friends@foxnews.com. we'll read some later in the show. >> busted. every known business by al sharpton has been shut down by not paying taxes. is sharpton living the high life while running from the tax man? looks like it. we'll tell you the story. >> one of the craziest passenger plane landings we have ever seen. look at that. just a glimpse for you. ♪ ♪ nexium 24hr. it's the purple pill. the #1 prescribed acid blocking brand.

legal and policy center. al sharp top is saying i have enemies going after me. really? "the new york times" is your enemy. they say he owes $1.4 million in taxes. peter, have you ever seen a pattern like this? >> i think it is more like al sharpton has friends rather than enemies. the scale and scope of his unpaid tax obligations over the years would get any other taxpayer charged with crimes. sharpton claims he has payment plans and these obligations are under control, but the obligations just get bigger and bigger. >> look at this. he's owed $580,453 federal taxes, dissolved in 2002 for failure to pay taxes, his top company. in rebel communications he totaled $4,83 for debt in two years. his media group owed $7,000, loaned money to his national action network. and he owes spanky, money

to national action network, dissolved in 2012 after failure to pay $1,60o. overall the times says he owes $1.4 million. i'm wondering in particular how he's been able to get away with this and after the pattern starts where are his accountants on this? >> "the new york times" claims he owes closer to $5 million between himself personally and the for-profit companies he's been involved with. you have this pattern which is also characteristic of his political campaigns and nonprofit organizations where they raise money sharpton lives lavishly off the cash flow and all the creditors including the tax men are left holding the bag. in a way it resembles a bustout scheme. >> i've got to tell you what he said. he said we have stayed current on all federal and state taxes over the last six years and are paying off the settled agreement on the years that were

questioned. he says he's at the end of his six-year payback plan. is there any way to know if that is in fact true and what the totals were? >> no, the i.r.s. will not comment so all we have is what sharpton says. sharpton says he set up payment plans with state and federal tax authorities and he's current on those plans but i think it raises other issues. his biggest nonprofit the national action network, is funded by corporate america, by big companies like wal-mart. they claim they're giving him money to promote civil rights but right now they're giving him money to pay back tax obligations incurred by sharpton's organizations. >> peter, if you or i did this with a series of companies, filing late almost all the time and never paying my balance almost all the time, what would happen to us? >> i think you'd be charged with a crime. sharpton has suggested this is just sloppiness and it's the kind of problems other taxpayers encounter all the time. that's the argument his friend, new york mayor bill de blasio has made. but i don't buy the

sloppiness argument. he has the cash flow now to hire accountants and lawyers yet these questionable practices persist. >> unbelievable. peter, thank you so much. we'll see what happens. 12 minutes before the bottom of the hour. coming up straight ahead, his story reads like a spy novel. an american businessman who tried tracking down corruption in russia now putin wants him dead. his incredible story will be told to you next. guys, if you're working up a plan to win over your true love on valentine's day, we have the secret and it involves another woman. ♪ i'm louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. quitting smoking is a challenge and it's a lot easier to go into a fight when you've got somebody that's got your back. having chantix as a partner made it more successful. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood

grandchildren, your great-grandchildren are going to be paying the debts that barack obama built up. now, it's not just barack obama. republicans have been criticizing him for years for his borrowing and then they are enablers by authorizing the borrowing. so the rub comes here. if he spends the money and the congress, controlled by the republicans, does not authorize him to borrow and he borrows any way, is that act unlawful? the answer is yes, it is illegal. has he threatened to do so? of course he has. >> judge that's -- >> that's where we stand this morning and the pressure is on the republicans because they control the congress. >> absolutely but i didn't realize we're still paying off woodrow wilson's debt. that's crazy. >> insane. welcome to america. >> thank you judge. couples are now living together longer before they get married but believe it or not they actually know less about each other, especially their finances. how to avoid those fights

a new report claims that while couples might be living together longer before they get married, they know less about one another's finances and that's hard to believe. more than 7 million americans have kept financial secrets from their spouses. so what should you know before walking down the aisle? chris brown spent years as a pastor before becoming a

financial expert and he's also a speaker with ramsey solutions, which is dave ramsey's organization and combines faith with finances. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> why is that? you would think if you live with someone longer and under the same roof, you would know a lot about each other's finances. >> there is obviously lack much communication. a relationship, whether married or even before marriage, is foundationally built on trust and communication. obviously there is some kind of gap there. when they're not talking about the things that really, really matter, just talking about maybe day-to-day life, there is that gap in that knowledge about each other and that can create problems in a marriage. >> what tips do you have to prevent us from walking down the aisle and later getting divorced because of our financial problems? >> there needs to be pro-active communication. before marriage and during marriage. when you don't have enough communication in a marriage, that can create some tension. finances touch every aspect of our life and so when you don't

talk about your finances, then there is significant issues. >> what do you need to ask your significant other? how much do you make? how much do you have in your 401(k)? what's your life plan? >> you get everything out in the open. is there any statement, any accounts? >> any debt? >> any debt. those kind of issues need to be out in the open. then there needs to be an agreement on how to spend the finances. so there needs to be a monthly budget meeting. >> what advice do you have? sometimes it's hard not only to talk about it but hard if your spouse says, hey, we really need to cut back on the expensive restaurants and on shopping and you don't want to do that, so sometimes a lot of people feel like going in the marriage why would i do that? it's cutting out all my fun. >> you got to go back to your goals. when you first got together, you talked about your vision, goals, where you're headed. start there. we agreed on these goals and this is how we're going to get there. you definitely got to agree. >> have a goal in mind. like if you want to buy an apartment or house, keep that in mind. >> yes. >> as you're missing out on the restaurants and all the fun. >> yes. and you do have to understand

each other's differences. you have to know that some are savers. some are$#ixhj spenders. and there is a big difference between the two. so you really got to think through. i want to embrace each other's differences. >> if one is the saver, do you give all your money to the saver and do you recommend joint bank accounts or separate? >> joint for sure. >> really? >> the highest willful of trust is a joint bank account. >> wow. that's hard to do especially if you both work because you work so hard for your money. thanks so much. great advice. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. coming up, the president refuses to say islamic terrorist. apparently out of respect for other muslims. but could that really be putting them in danger? medal of honor recipient dakota myer is here with a message no one else is talking about. that's straight ahead. and mass protests breaking out in venezuela. according to the country's government, the source of the outrage, they say vice president jose biden. ♪

100 million americans waking up in a deep freeze on this tuesday morning and a dangerous snow and ice event yesterday crippling travel and now leaving as many as nine people dead in the aftermath. >> there is your pileup. dozens of cars crashing right near chicago. amazingly, only some had minor injuries. >> worcester massachusetts, men working together to push a car got stuck. >> then here in new york city icy tracks to blame for stranding a busy subway line. commuters there were stuck with no heat on that subway for more than 2 1/2 hours. >> man oh, man. so the weather is the number one story. we know as you go out for your morning commute, just be careful. there is a lot of black ice. >> right. if you're looking for a reason to move to a warmer climate these might be the still shots. >> right up there where currently it's 15 degrees in midtown manhattan. >> this is why you spend a lot of time in florida. >> yeah. somehow, somewhere, there is

somebody outside sweating. i just don't know where they are. >> which one? just point. >> not here. not pictured in that scene. >> like san antonio, texas. >> now you're talking. >> or miami. or barbados. do we have a bureau there? >> we should. heather nauert has some news. >> or maybe it's time to take our show on the road to the villages. >> there you go. >> we'll get those plane tickets. good morning to you all. remember that virginia woman who is accused of supporting isis? she is now pleading guilty to lying to federal investigators. she now faces up to eight years in prison for making false statements involving terrorism. she's 29 years old and she was arrested back in november after a major f.b.i. sting operation revealed that she was trying to help isis recruit new members. her sentencing is set for may 11. she is fighting for her life and surrounded by family at this hour. whitney houston's daughter

as a parent than what you think as a public official. there has to be a balance and it depends on what the vaccine is, what the disease type is and all the rest. >> reporter: senator rand paul, another possible 2016 gop candidate and a doctor, taking a similar stance saying the state doesn't own children. but still christie's office later put out a statement saying he thinks there is no question kids should get vaccinated and proof that the 2016 cycle will feature the most rapid response ever. hillary clinton went ahead and tweeted a short jabt( that also explains her belief writing, quote, the science is clear. the earth is round, the sky is blue, and vaccines work. let's protect all our kids. #grandmothersknowbest. this is not the first time vaccinations have been a campaign issue. in fact, recent history proved it is possible to take a stance similar to christie and get elected president. >> we've seen just a

skyrocketing autism rate. nobody knows exactly why. there is some people who are suspicious that it's connected to vaccines and triggers. but this person included. the science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it. >> reporter: the president has changed his tune since 2008. in fact, this weekend he told nbc he thinks it's a major success of civilization that it's possible to prevent diseases that once wiped out big chunks of the population. he wants everybody to get their kids vaccinated now. back to you. >> thank you. so the president back then said the science is inconclusive. and this weekend he said the science is conclusive and he's right. it is settled science. the vaccines do work. >> we wanted to get your comments about this because you had chris christie essentially make one statement, flip to the other. rand paul said i'm a doctor and i think it should be up to the parent. here is what you're saying. mark on facebook says if parents decide not to vaccinate their children, then they should not

be allowed to go to school. >> another says the government has no right to demand parents do anything. the government needs to stay out of our lives. >> that's one point of view. another says parents choice, but i sure hope they choose science. >> in 2000 measles was basically eradicated. now you saw what happened at disney. >> because a lot of parents aren't getting the measles vaccine. >> it goes back to the study in britain that says there might be a linkage. it's since been debunked between autism and these vaccinations and the mercury that's located in there. it was somewhat of a debate because people are wondering why autism is going through the roof. >> shots work. now back to our extreme weather alert. because of the weather, close to 7,000 flights were canceled in the last 24 hours. this morning rick leventhal is live at lga. that's la guardiaç where, rick s a mess?

>> reporter: i decided it's good day to call in sick because it is so bitter cold outside. anywhere in the northeast really tough day to fly or drive. we had that rain and sleet and snow and it was on the ground all day yesterday until last night and then we had a flash freeze. everything turned to ice. the roads are treacherous and the airports are slightly better today, but they're still in pretty bad shape. yesterday 4,000 flights canceled. here at la guardia, things are looking up. but yesterday they had over 800 flights canceled at this one airport alone. two outç of every three flights were not getting off the ground. today we have a few hundred cancellations. a few hundred delays. so we're dealing with that here and across the country because of the ripple effect. the other issue for at least people trying to fly delta yesterday was that their web site kiosk and mobile app were malfunctioning. some kind of computer issues

were forcing some passengers to wait longer to check on or change flights, which is a problem when hundreds of flights are delayed or canceled. delta says it's working to get all systems up to speed. the kiosks are okay now and they're working to iron out any other issues. again, if you are flying you probably will run into some issues out there today steve brian and ainsley. so maybe just stay in the studio. don't go anywhere. >> we're not going anywhere. >> i was trying to book a flight on delta. i'm glad you gave me that information. my app is not working. i don't know. thank you. >> if you're stuck at the airport, you have no control. so we have these stories coming out that are really getting you down. when isis is beheading people. the chaos around the world. we have people stuck in snow storms. you want to hear good story? here is one. >> that fellow is james robertson. for close to ten years, ever since 2005 when his 1988 honda

accord conked out because he had a certain job that didn't pay him enough money he simply, the only way he could get to work, was walk. so he walked to work. but it wasn't a mile away or two miles away. that man has walked for the last ten years 21 miles to work every day. he's never missed a day of work. >> wow. it's crazy. he gets up at 8 a in the morning to start the commute and doesn't get there 'til the middle of the afternoon. we asked him what is your motivation? listen to what he said. >> my mother was a homemaker and my father was a military person and he was probably the one that influenced me the most of all. i've learned that if i ever think about throwing it in or complaining about that, something inside me tells me to leave it alone because your girlfriend don't want to hear about it, your friends don't want to hear about it. nobody wants to hear about it and you have to go out and do it the next day. >> and he's been doing it the

next day. >> look when is next to him in that shot, saw him walking and then said no, met him in the parking lot one day and said next time i'm going to pick you up. he did spot him and they developed a great friendship. >> so blake has been driving him around for the last year or so. there was a 19-year-old wayne state student who saw this story out in the detroit area and said, you know let's try to buy him a car. let's have one of those gofundme things and raise 3 4 $5,000. ladies and gentlemen, as of the last half hour that is up to $132,000. so james robertson is gonna get a car and i got a feeling he's going to have plenty of money to put gas in it. >> and i heard also some organizations have called him and said, we'll give you a car. so he has this extra money as well. great story. >> what a happy ending. >> a lot of show left. >> yep. the president refuses to use the phrase islamic terrorist apparently out of respect for other muslims.

i don't quibble with labels. i think we do ourselves a disservice in this fight if we are not taking into account the fact that the overwhelming majority of muslims reject this ideology. >> there is president obama insisting that labeling terror organizations as islamic extremists hurts the vast majority of the muslim population. he would prefer just extremists. but our next guest says the president is wrong. dakota myer is joining us from dallas texas. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> the president says he doesn't quibble with labels. we don't need to label them

islamic. what do you say to your commander in chief? >> look, i think that by not separating this issue and labeling them as islamic terrorists i think that you hurt all muslims across the board. look, the bottom line is that these people are enemies to muslims. they're enemies to everyone in the world and until we do that, you get the fort hood incident the boston bombing and it goes back to they were all muslims. then it's like until we separate those two, there is a lot of great muslims across the world. a majority of them are great people. we fought next to them from the sands of iraq to the mountains in afghanistan and they got it a million times worse than what we do. until we separate the two, we're really putting a divide between all three groups. >> that's right. meanwhile, former secretary of defense robert gates is saying that the obama administration is using the wrong approach when it comes to isis and we need a

different kind of strategy in the war on terror although this administration won't call it terror. listen to this. >> i think we set unrealistic goals for ourselves when we say we're going to destroy the taliban, we're going to destroy al-qaeda. we've been after al-qaeda with all of the resources of the american military and 4%-intelligence community for 14 years now and we haven't destroyed it. so i think a different kind of strategy in terms of how do we -- first of all, how do we contain them and then how do we limit their ability to carry out these attacks and these atrocities? >> soda cota, he's -- he's saying we need a different strategy. i wonder if he said that when he was running the defense department. >> i agree. look, i agree with what secretary gates is saying as far as the strategy. you're not going to destroy them. you're not going to just wipe them out by a killing spree. the issue i have is you've got

secretary gates coming out and talking about the administration now. you've got these other general officers coming out and saying this is wrong, this is wrong. look, what happened when you were in position to do it? what happened to when you could make a difference and you were standing there across from the boss and saying that's how it is? that's why secretary hague system having to leave because he was standing there saying how it is. >> maybe he did back in the day and we'll find out in the next book that he writes. undoubtedly he's working on a new one. dakota myer joining us today from dallas, thank you. >> thank you. >> what do you think about that? e-mail us. coming up, caught on camera an inmate walks right out the front door of the prison and he's still on the loose. the creative disguise that got him past security. that's it right there. and you want your kid to succeed? make sure they get a grubby job. the numbers prove that grubby jobs like those that look delicious actually work.

maybe you work something out there for infrastructure. but the idea of raising taxes on the wealthy and estate taxes republicans didn't get elected to do that. >> chris, we're going to be watching fox news sunday for all the stuff of what's going on in our nation's capitol. how often -- let's get up and go see your wife. >> lorraine has a brand-new book out. >> she's here? >> she is here. her new book -- >> hey lorraine. congratulations. >> i love the way you start your book where you say, chris wallace comes in and he goes, lorraine, are we having supper around here tonight? >> i just wanted to let her know. >> he's hungry for his supper. >> i was just going to say i'm going to hold up the book. >> it's great. love the name. >> mr. and mrs. sunday suppers. >> you have six kids combined. and now i understand --

>> we do all of this. like valentine's we're going to stay home and beat the crowds and have finger foods. we have a cheese fondue where you can have bread and ams and it's all finger food with chocolate dipped strawberries. >> i love that. i love your chicken scallopini. >> i'm always in the kitchen. >> you have a beautiful dessert and you're actually going to show us how to make the pecan squares. >> these are chris' favorite. they're not so decadent if you cut them into a little wedge because you get a taste and a verification. here is the shortbread crust that you let bake in the oven at 350 for an hour until it cools off. then you lightly beat some egg. we put that in the bowl. i kind of use a mixer.

but we have a bowl here. sugar. >> chris, do you actually ever see the food prepared or do you just show up and it's done? >> i'm the taster for this book because i've tried every one of these recipes. occasionally i'll say i'm not sure this is book ready, lorraine. >> he does. these are wallace favorite recipes for your supper solution. >> you always say -- i was reading some information about your cookbook and you say not to stress. i get a little stressed when i have a cook a meal. >> you shouldn't. try to prepare as much as you can ahead of time. >> you're showing me up. >> he knows how to cook. use a time line. use one pot. the news thing about this book is we have skillets, which are 15 minute dinners with two ingredients or less. and you have one pot -- >> i thought we were supposed to demo this. >> look how beautiful that is. and the calories don't count. >> how good is that? >> really good and delicious.

13 minutes before the top of the hour. fox news alert. the white house now on lockdown. we've just found out that moments ago the secret service confirming an unattended package was found in neighboring lafayette park. the media not being allowed on the ground. the metropolitan police department are enroute. we know the president's got a scheduled for a briefing at 10:00 a.m. and we don't know if he's inside or not.ç but usually you would think he would be. >> sure. chris wallace is still with us. we should point out as you look at the white house right there if you would look to the right of that, that's where the press briefing room would be. then lafayette square would be kind of in front of what we're look at. how often is it there is a lockdown? >> it's pretty rare. you're looking at cars blocking the area around the white house. i can't think of a time when this has happened.

obviously 9-11, everybody was evacuated from the white house and there are various times when people jumped the fence and you're aware of that. but this kind of a lockdown and people blocking all the accesses to the white house and the area around it, pretty unusual. i will say it's quite a distance from lafayette park. there is lafayette park. you've got this broad four-lane pennsylvania avenue. you've got the whole north lawn of the white house. so it's not like it's right up against the white house. >> you would assume the park, as you describe it, and we don't know where it was, at the very edge or the middle you think that's quite a distance for a package to lock down the white house, which is that far away. >> 500 feet. >> yeah. it was locked down after a drone crashed when the president was not there. that was a couple weeks ago. >> there does seem to be more of a sense of people breaching the security of the white house, whether it's drones or jumpers or now this across the street in lar yet park and obviously it's very concerning. >> what happens in a lockdown?

if the president is inside where would he go? >> well, it depends. ultimately you could and i doubt that in this case, but you could have another 9-11 situation where you're put inç a bunker and none of us really quite know where it is. but it's some stories down beneath the surface of the white house and underground bunker. that's where dick cheney went during 9-11. i would assume that if they're going to have -- i would think the whole family is there where the girls may or may not have headed off to school. they would have been kept away from the side that faces lafayette park. >> that's right. and we should point out if it's simply an unattended package that's something that they can deal with promptly rather than a broader threat against the white house. >> yeah. absolutely. as we often know, usually turns out to be nothing except in the case when is it turns out to be something. >> you got to be careful. >> all right. if something develops we'll break in with the details. good to have you here. >> i'm a full servant.

>> sticking around for an extra segment. thank you very much. >> you bet. coming up, did you have questions like this on your high school test? asking students, would you rather have a child with a birth defect or terminate the pregnancy? that debate straight ahead

parents are outraged after learning kids in an oklahoma high school were posed the following question in their biology class: you found out that the child or your wife carries for the gene for dwarfism. a new therapy insists that may repair this gene before the child is born. here is the question, what do you do? a, allow the child to be born with the gene and we will accept

the child as it is? b, attempt a new therapy to repair the gene. or c terminate the pregnancy. is this an appropriate question for kids especially a third option? the doctor believes it is, while dr. amber northern thinks the question should be kept out of the classroom. both of you are welcome. first dr. caplan, why do you think this works? >> i'm not sure i'm thrilled about a multiple choice answer. no doubt about that. but i do want kids starting to wrestle with questions about what the new general nettics means. i'm in medical school. we have genetic questions come up. i want them to develop a moral compass. >> ninth grade, dr. northern? these are good questions for even a ninth grader? >> no way. this belongs in a college

course. these are ninth grade kids in a high school biology class. what does this have to do with the academic standards of the state of oklahoma? nowhere in there is this standard in the oklahoma science standards. these kids are too young. these are conversations to be had at home with parents. these are socially divisive moral issues that do not belong in the classroom. that's the bottom line. if this were a college course professors have academic freedom. they're free to pursue these topics with college kids, but not at the high school level. hey, great science teachers can make genetics interesting without diving into social issues. how about talking about how dna actually carries through parents to be passed into traits and to kids in wouldn't that be a little more interesting to talk about dna mapping than abortion? >> dr. caplan, age appropriate and then her reflection on that? >> i think it is age appropriate. they're tough issues. i'm not saying the kids have to come up with an answer for a lifetime. but they need to begin to think

about them. i think a high school kid not only can do this, i think they're well aware of these issues. they have the internet. they see tv. they see people with disabilities and differences. they're already starting to think, what do i do if i'm faced with having a child with a disability or is abortion something i even want to contemplate? i don't think ninth grade is too late. i think ninth grade is the time to start. >> the school says upon reflection teachers and administrators agree that any discussion about termination of a pregnancy as it relates to human genetic disorders is best discussed in the home. they see it somewhat of a mistake. would it change your opinion at all, dr. northern, if they didn't put that third option in, terminate the pregnancy? >> no, i really don't. i tie it back to teachers are supposed to be teaching science standards. i actually spent last night looking at the oklahoma science standards. nowhere is this in there. teachers are not free to bring up any socially divisive issue in their classroom.

they work for the state of oklahoma. >> final thought? >> i think it's a tough call in terms of certainly we want parental input. but again, i think ninth graders are savvy these days. time to address these they're already starting to think about and school is one place to do it. >> thanks so much. good debate. i appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. >> thank you. >> happy to be here. >> from oklahoma right to your living rooms. what do you think about that? when we come back, continuing coverage of the fox news alert. secret service has locked down the white house. a live report from washington will be next how much money do you have in your 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. ♪ ♪

confirming an unattended suspicious package was found across the street in lafayette square. >> the media is not being allowed on the white house grounds. so our own peter doocy is outside right now live on the telephone, on his cell phone. what's the scene like? >> reporter: right now it's kind of eerie. there is police tape up and there is a pretty impressive response of secret service dc fire and metro pd, marked cars unmarked cars, lots of sirens. the secret service officer squad don't seem overly concerned just yet. we're told that at about 7:10 this morning, somebody saw an unattended and suspicious package in lafayette park, which is just across pennsylvania avenue from the white house.

i walked over to 8th street, on the other side of pennsylvania, rather which is on the other side of lafayette park. that is closed down, too. there is a big fire truck. nobody is getting through. and right now i'm staring 200 yards, directly in front of what would be one of the entrances, like the driveway to the west wink. they've got back of one of the police vehicles open and they are taking some equipment out. it's really hard to see from this far away as i am right now. but they are responding and we don't know too much more at this point. >> peter, have you seen on location any of those bomb vehicles that they sometimes use? they've got the robots inside or sometimes put a suspicious package inside it to blow it up. >> reporter: i have not seen that at this point. >> very good. so at this point lafayette square and the north side of the white house on complete lockdown because of a suspicious package in lafayette park which you can

see in that picture on your right. >> that is eerie because he's right. if you've ever been to washington, d.c., there is a huge crowd usually outside of the white house walking around. it looks like there are some people walking. did you see that in front of the white house on the left-hand side? >> i got a feeling that's probably secret service. this particular camera is adjacent to the lafayette square. i believe this is the one posted on the top of the hay adams hotel. >> i would say this peter will send us video to give us an idea >> thank you very much. meantime, we've got an extreme weather alert. >> that's right. temperatures are plunging into the single digits. all the snow and rain turning roads and runways into sheets of ice. rick leventhal is live at new york's laguardia airport to tell us what's happening there. rick? >> reporter: in the last hour, it's warmed up to a balmy 16 degrees. that's plus 3 with the windchill. all that snow and freezing rain and slush that was on the road

yesterday into last night has frozen over in a flash freeze. the road conditions are very, very dangerous. an example of ice on this vehicle's bumper right here. all over it. we have some time lapse video we can show you from new york. about a foot of snow fell. windchills there and to the north are 25 below in some spots. maine still getting snow this morning and boston got about a foot and a half on top of what they had. now we're going to take you inside la guardia airport where things are a bit better today than they were yesterday. yesterday two out of every three flights was canceled. 805 flights canceled yesterday. we're seeing some cannulations on the board this morning. but a lot of on times. that's obviously very good news for travelers who were in a world of hurt yesterday. 252 delays today so far. 515 cancellations nationwide. again, muchq better than it was yesterday when more than 4,000 flights were canceled. one of the big issues that

people had yesterday was getting home from the super bowl. sky harbor international had its busiest day ever with about 80,000 people trying to get out of town. i'm just curious. brian, how you did it. >> you know why? because i have my own plane. i was able to -- i got unbelievably lucky. i booked a 7:00 a.m. flight in the morning and i was waiting for the moment to say delayed. but instead i got out. 4 1/2 hours later, i was at newark airport and three hours from newark to long island to get home on the roads. that's how bad the roads were, worse than the air. >> the road took longer than the flight? >> almost as long. >> rick, i should have updated, i'm sorry for leaving you in the dark on that. >> reporter: at least now i know. that's the most important thing. >> all right. >> now the country knows. >> thank you very much. we're going to talk to laura ingraham about vaccines as the political hot potato right now. in a moment. first we have headlines.

>> good morning. you know the woman in virginia who is accused of supporting isis? she is now pleading guilty to lying to federal investigators. heather elizabeth kaufman faces up to eight years in prison for making false statements involving terrorism. she's 29 years old and she was arrested back in november after a major f.b.i. sting operation revealed she was trying to help isis recruit new members. her sentencing is now set for may 11. fighting for her life and surrounded by family. whitney houston's daughter, bobbi kristina is reportedly showing some signs of improvement, but it's still not clear if she has brain damage. bobbi kristina brown was found face down in a bathtub over the weekend. sources say her brain swelling has gone down. this morning, tmz reports that police found drugs in her home. sunday's super bowl was the most watched tv event in history. a record 114.4 million people tuning in. patriots fans have to wait to see their celebration.

everything. doesn't mean we don't believe in vaccine. it means that we're mothers and we worry. sometimes we worry unnecessarily. but i'm not a physician. i'm not going to speak on doctors' issues. but i will speak on the political issue of all of this. >> although there have been a bunch of politicians over the last 48 hours talking about vaccinations, given what's happening with the measles at disneyland and stuff like that. the president said onç sunday settled science get your kids shots. chris christie had a comment where he was talking about balancing parents' rights and stuff like that, even though new jersey has the most vaccinated kids in the country. then rand paul was asked a question over on cnbc and your name came up. listen to this. >> did you really just say to laura ingraham that you think most vaccines in this country should be, quote voluntary? >> well, i guess being for freedom would be really unusual. i guess i don't understand the point why that would be

controversial. i think vaccines are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs that we have. i'm a big fan and great fan of the history of the development of the smallpox vaccine, for example. but for most of our history they have been voluntary. the state doesn't own your children. parents own the children and it is an issue of freedom. you've taken an interview and you've made an interview into something where we got no useful information because you were argumentative and started out with so many presuppositions that were incorrect. >> hillary clinton is also giving her opinion, laura. the science is clear the earth is round, the sky is blue and #vaccineswork. let's protect all of our kids. #grandmothersknowbest. what do you think about that? >> how long before candidates are asked whether they believe in circumcision or not? come on. >> that's tomorrow. >> yeah, that's tomorrow's got ya question. when you listen to rand paul and chris christie, they acknowle do have rights and that parents do have concerns.

i really object to all these media people jumping all over them saying oh, you're a member of the flat earth society. you don't believe in science. you don't deserve to get serious consideration for the republican nomination. this is what happens every time we move into an election cycle where the media tries to determine who is going toç be picked for the republican party. they don't do it so much for the democrats. and i'll say this, if the media cared so much about health risks in the united states, they would do more honest conversation and reporting on sexual activity, unprotected sexual activity. they would also do more coverage of what's happening on the border still last year's border wave and it continued and probably a new border wave coming, many are predicting in the spring when the weather gets warmer. international travel, and illegally, who don't have a clear medical record for our point of view. we've been trying to talk about that on our show from tb to

scabies, all these concerns and most people in the media don't really care about that story 'cause it conflicts with their other world view of open borders. i don't really take a lot of their concerns seriously on this. i think christie and rand paul tried to make a nuanced point in a media culture that devours anyone who is not a member of the vaughned establishment. >> the people that get upset when these candidates stick to their talking points and don't talk, this is a flip side. these two people acting like human beings who are parents and people seeing red meat, they're smelling blood in the water and going after them. >> come on in the cnbc reporter, oh well, you mean this -- if only they had the same attitude toward major issues that are facing this country, declining wages the establishment in both parties refusing to do what the people want on immigration, which affects our health, security national security, wage security. that issue is so glossed over by the main stream media. i know exactly what they're doing. it's obvious to me.

so we have to look at this with our eyes wide open. you'll see this with other candidates. they're going to do it to perry, and every other candidate out there in the republican field until they decide which one they're going to -- they try anoint. >> that laura ingraham is so smart. that's why we have her on our show. that's why she's going to go do a radio show heard by millions. >> doocy, my twitter followers want to know, is it true that you were really that shark on the left-hand side of the katy perry concert? >> imreally the guy in the jimmy dean sausage commercial ad. i'm that guy. i'm the sunshine. >> i didn't think you had the rhythm like the other shark did. >> great to see you. a surprising new study from the nation's top legal brains reveals our nation's courtrooms are all about politics. what that means for you next. and if you thought your commute was bad this man cannot afford a car, so he walks 21 miles to work every day. what motivates him will make you proud to be an american. ♪ ♪

nation's courtrooms are all about politics. this study says that lawyers tend to lean to the left and judges lean to the right. and the higher or more politically important the court, the more conservative it is. how does that work? peter johnson, jr. has been doing some analysis. >> harvard professor and a stanford professor coming up with startling and interesting maybe true, maybe not true findings in terms of who our lawyers and judges in the country are. they say lawyers are more liberal than the general population. they also donate to campaigns political campaigns much more. ten times more than the general population. state high court and circuit court judges, federal circuit court judges are more conservative than the attorneys. federal courts are, according to the study the most politicized. and conservatives from top schools are more likely to become high court judges. they also list the most liberal

lawyers by type. government lawyers law professors, public defenders female lawyers, and lawyers from the so-called top 14 law schools. >> i read this article a couple of times. it was in the "new york times" because it said look the lawyers to are to the left and the judges to the right! it almost makes it seem like there is a conspiracy where the higher a person rises on the legal ladder, there is a conspiracy to get conservatives in there. >> and that does seem to be the findings that they're trying to put forward and that they talked about in stories after this study was put forward. so they're saying the judges who are in federal circuit court of appeals and the highest courts of each state, the courts of appeals in most states they're conservatives. what they say is that somehow federalist societies conservative organizations in law schools have come together and said we need to funnel certain detainees and make thank you that they get on the highest

courts of this nation. now, i think there is a simpler and more credible and less nefarious explanations. people tend to get more conservative as they get older. the law is a stable process in which there are rules n which there are regulations in which there are precepts and constitutional dictates that judges need to apply to facts. it's not a matter of a legislature creating solutions. it's a matter of applying law to certain facts. usually in a conservative way, usually in a strict way. so the conservativism in judges is something we've always had in our society and not part of some big republican or conservative conspiracy that you might believe after reading this study. gives a lot of things to think about, though, in terms of this country. lawyers are really really

politically active. maybe it's the trial lawyers. maybe it's some other factors. but giving ten times the amount that other americans give to the political process, clearly they've got a big big role in terms of who we are as a country and the laws that we're making and deciding. >> peter johnson, jr., who is not buying the story in the "new york times," thank you. >> not really. >> okay. we've got fox news alert lafayette scare across the street from the white house has been cleared by police after that suspicious package forced the lockdown of the white house. police now opening up the streets near the white house saying no hazardous materials were found at this time. it is unclear if the lockdown at the white house has been lifted. but we've got a correspondent who is trying to get in. if he does we'll bring it to you live. meanwhile, coming up be glad you weren't on this flight. just imagine if you're landing like that. he's a nascar legend,

points. the largest second half comeback in super bowl history. fourth title in 13 years and say what you want, you have to hand it to the patriots. although petition pete carol is insisting you pass it to the patriots. >> just amazing. >> that game with everything that's involved in that game, everyone is talking about the final play. not the guy who was at foot locker that caught four passes or in division 2 and -- >> what was it like to be there? >> they were happy i was there most of the players. >> that's what everyone is talking about. >> we know you watch the news channel for the news. so we got some. here is heather. >> we got a whole lot of stuff going on. good morning. there is a fight over obamacare that took a bizarre turn on capitol hill when a democrat from florida called the entire state of texas crazy. >> i don't know about in your state, which i think is a crazy state to begin with. >> i do feel that i need to say

that as member of congress, i'm used to attacks and things being tossed my way. that's part of the territory. but there is no reason at all to impugne the people, governor of the state of this country and i will await the gentleman's apology. >> you will wait until hell freezes over. >> the gentleman -- >> for me to say anything in an apology. >> really? things ended up getting so tense, they wouldn't even look at each other. we'll keep you posted on any updates. a big win for meat eaters at the university of nebraska. flyers encouraging students to skip meat once a week. the student government said no way. at least 100 students threatened protests. they say meat is vital to nebraska's economy. yeah, it is. and shouldn't be discouraged. terrifying plane landing

caught on camera. look at this. getting tossed around at the birmingham airport in the u.k. amazingly, the pilot stayed in control and landed it safely. 50 miles an hour cross winds and wind shear. this is not the first time this has happened. airport officials say they often experience this kind of extreme weather. this is the hardest working man in america. 56-year-old james robertson can't afford a car but that does not stop him from going to work. he walks 21 miles a day just so he can get to work. james and his friend blake joined us on "fox & friends" to talk about what keeps him going. >> if i ever think about throwing it in or complain being it, something inside me tells me that to leave it alone because your girlfriend don't want to hear about it your friends don't want to hear about it. nobody wants to hear about it and you have to go out and do it the next day. >> the man on his right has been

giving him rides to work a lot. people began noticing robertson's incredible perseverance and decided to help out. more than $145,000 so far donated online so he can buy a car. he said he got his hard work ethic from his mother in the military. >> he can probably make more money on unemployment, but it doesn't matter for him. >> but he's been walking for ten years. unemployment runs out after a while. he's thinking about the future. his girlfriend doesn't want to hear him complain. now he gets a really nice car. meanwhile, it's cold outside. temperatures plunging into the single digits. now all the snow and rain from yesterday, this morning in many cases sheets of ice. >> and is there another storm on the way? maria molina wouldn't possibly let that happen right? >> i wish i could control the weather. that would be great as far as forecasting skill. take a look at some of the

current windchill temperatures across the eastern united states. it's a cold one for many of you. all the way down to atlanta you're looking at current windchill temperatures in the teens. single digits in new york city. in new england, those windchill temperatures are well below zero for so many of you. we have winter weather advisories in effect across portions of the northeast and that's due to black ice. that's a concern out there on the roadways this morning. so take a little bit slower. as far as storms go, that storm is out of the northeast. that's welcome news, leaving behind the cold conditions. look at this rain across parts of texas. there will be a storm system across parts of the gulf and going to be combining with another system that's going to be dipping down from areas farther north. across parts of the pacific northwest and take a look at what happened. this is a european model. i'll show you both the american and the european. the european kind of shows more heavy snow across portions of new england. the gfs keeps the storm farther offshore. so here we go again. the american and the european model going head to head.

both of them showing different solutions, different storm systems. it's going to come down to the wire here. we'll keep an eye on it and keep you updated. >> all right. thank you very much. he just got back from an international trip. we'll talk to the former mayor of the great city of new york rudy guiliani about that in just a minute. but you said that as soon as you got off the plane, you did turn on "fox & friends." >> yeah. i rushed home, took a shower. i heard dakota myer. it's a very interesting distinction. i thought was a very good one. i always -- >> you know what? you heard it. they didn't hear you. >> let's play it n we've got a sound bite from robert gates talking about how this administration needs a new isis strategy and then dakota myer the medal of honor recipient, responds. listen. >> i think we set unrealistic goals four for ourselves when we say we're going to destroy the taliban. we're going to destroy al-qaeda. we've been after al-qaeda with

all of the resources of the american military and intelligence community for 14 years now and we haven't destroyed it. so i think a different kind of strategy in terms of how do we contain them and then how do we limit their ability to carry out these attacks and these atrocity ies? >> you've got secretary gates coming out and talking about the administration now. you've got these other general officers coming out and saying this is wrong, this is wrong. look, what happened when you were in position to too it? what happened to when you could make a difference and you were standing there across from the boss and saying that's how it is? look that's why secretary hagel is having to leave because he was standing there saying how it is. >> you think there is a lot of validation to what he said? >> yeah, i do. having been a mayor eight years, i had a lot of commissioners i'd feel offended if all of a sudden now they said, we should have done this and never said it to me at the time.

i like secretary gates very much. admire him a lot. but i've always felt uncomfortable with those tellan >> leon panetta, too. >> i don't agree with secretary gates. i see this as something like a cold war where every president since ronald reagan -- then ronald reagan said no, communism is evil. it's not just an alternative political philosophy. socialism is an alternative. communism is evil. and it's going to be our job maybe in this generation or the next to destroy it. i feel the same thing here. we have to destroy islamic extremist terrorism if we're going to be safe in the world. >> with other people and we have motivated people now because jordan is now motivate sadly because of what's going on with their pilot. japan is motivated paris france is motivated. this is a window of opportunity to build a legitimate coalition. >> there is a chance to work with russia on that also. what's going on in chechnya other than extremist terrorism.

we took the brunt of it with the boston marathon bombing. >> absolutely. you just got off the plane from israel. >> i did. i was in israel for three days. i met with the prime minister twice. yesterday we did a function at the begin center. yesterday i talked with him. i'm very encouraged at his position is firm and strong. it's my view that he represents the position that i agree with. i find this whole -- >> and netanyahu is going to be speaking before a joint session of congress. the white house doesn't like it. >> in march. >> this i don't understand, the president supposedly, all presidents, presidents of a democracy, what is he afraid of? what is he afraid of what netanyahu is going to say to congress that hasn't already been said or argued? people like netanyahu mccain, myself, whole bunch other people feel that iran should not have nuclear capacity. >> at all? >> at all. you should not put nuclear capacity in the hands of mad

men. that's a lesson of the cold war i learned from work for ronald reagan. his great fear of why he hated the idea of mutually assured instruction was all you have to do is make a mistake and have a mad man in either place, more likely in the soviet union, that likes pressing buttons and these people have announced to us they're mad men. they've actually said that they're going to destroy the state of israel. suppose a country near the united states, let's pick one -- suppose they decided they were going to have a nuclear weapon. not only that, but they announce before hand that they're going to attack the united states. what would the united states president do other than what prime minister netanyahu is doing to protect his people but to propose that in every possible way that he could. >> and the timing is impeccable because we have this. then the deadline of the nuclear talks and we have the elections. >> this is not a president who really seems to understand terrorism. if you can't say the words islamic extremist terrorism you're telling me you're in some

kind of never never land some left wing foggy never, never land about the threat to this country and lives are at stake. you got to quibble about labels. labels are important. you got to identify your enemy. if i don't identify the enemy as the mafia, i'm not sure we would have product down the fox families -- brought down the families. >> he's not jet lagged. >> i have a question for you and everyone out there. should every kid in america be required to work a grubby job? you all definitely have an opinion on this one. your e-mails are pouring in. and a boy suspended from school for threatening to cast a spell on his classmate. the school called it a terror threat. proper punishment or legal insanity? we'll triode bait that and find another side. >> that's the trouble maker? that kid? >> he's raising a kid on his own
