6:00 am
thank you for joining us on this washington's burt day. we're going to do the after the show show. so log on. >> we'll see you tomorrow. you're heading to the radio. >> yep. stay within yourself. >> see you tomorrow. bill: breaking news in the war against isis. egypt asking for american help as it carries out swift retaliation. egypt targets inside of libya after isis shows the beheadings of 21 christians out of egypt. patti ann: he jipg airplane target isis in libya. bill: how successful were the
6:01 am
airstrikes? >> reporter: officials say 50 militants were killed in the airstrike but it's hard to verify it. they say they were carried out by the egyptian military. they are targeting isis training centers. the egyptian christians were taken hostage in december and january. they believe they were there in libya working. yesterday isis released a grisly video showing militants beheading the christians on a beach. the entire video is similar to what whatr we -- similar to what we have seen in syria and iraq. we are beginning to see a
6:02 am
growing concern on the part of the egyptians about what's happening in neighboring libya. the real concern is how large a presence will they have in the future. u.s. officials think libya has the potential to be the third isis state in the sense that syria and iraq have huge amounts of isis fighters. libya is awash in islamic extremists. and it's a country that has no central government. it isn't providing security across the country. there is a fear that libya is the potential for isis to grow the strongest outside of iraq and syria. isis and a potential for bigger
6:03 am
problems across the middle east. bill: this is where we have gone in the last 20-24 months. that was initially. now the information we have based on background scanning the with world. you have planes from 12 countries from the philippines to indonesia to make a claim for isis operating to some degree in their country. the town of durna is the place where u.s. intel january has been focused. in the town of darna they are joining the fight. the government of libya carried out its own airstrikes on isis
6:04 am
over the weekend as did the government in cairo, egypt. cairo went after the town of anda to find foreign fighters who have taken refuge in that city. that's where the execution of these christians was carried out. 4 past the hour, here is patti ann. patti ann: bahrain says it's sending fighting planes to jordan one day after announcing plans to send troops there as well. it's a vital strategic hub home to the u.s. navy's 6th fleet. the debate moves in congress.
6:05 am
law makers say they are sceptical about the president's plan. some object together limits on our military, others to the political timetable. >> our goal is to have a process that determines the threat to our homeland. what is the president's strategy, especially in syria? >> i think the resolution three years' time limit is not appropriate. we don't want to send a signal to the world we are there for just some of the -- for just so the many years. this battle, some of the fundamental issues are not operational or military, they are political. patti ann: we'll talk about whether the president's strategy is enough to defeat is very once
6:06 am
and for all. bill: attacks denmark led to the arrests of two suspects accused of helping the alleged gunman. one was at a:free speech gathering and one at a synagogue. -- a 22-year-old danish citizen said to have a criminal past. >> reporter: when police shot that suspect dead at daybreak sunday they thought they got theirman and didn't believe anyone else was involved. that may be true that he may have bent on shooter but two polices have been arrested. they have been charged according to the lawyer. they were charged with help can that suspect get rid of his gun and giving him shelter as well.
6:07 am
police are not giving the name oral details about the suspect other than he had a history of gang activity. british media said he got out of jail just two weeks agient would have been hard for a 22-year-old to know a cartoonist on al qaeda's his list was in town. so the question is who helped his man? did he radicalize in jail? this isn't a man who traveled to iraq or syria but he was known for criminal activity. bill: copenhagen is proud of its peaceful nature. how surprised were they over these attacks. >> reporter: a danish friend of mine said we knew this was coming, they were the first to public controversial mohammad cartoons in 2005.
6:08 am
so the newspaper that did that has been the target of threats over the years and they have been thwarted. so this was in some ways expected, maybe not in this manner. the prime minister was very quick to call it a terrorist attack. and she said, look, this is not a battle between muslims and non-muslims, this is a battle between ideas and individual freedom and a dark ideology. denmark this mourning. a danish filmmaker was called. he had knot been involved in any controversial films that we could glean. and a member of the jewish community who worked hard to keep synagogues safe. he was killed guarding a bat -- a
6:09 am
bat mitzvah. patti ann: bone-chilling arctic air gripping the northeast. folks in new york waking up to some the coldest temperatures in in -- in decades. look at new england getting slammed with its fourth winter storm in just a month. we are talking a foot of snow on top of six feet already piled up there. >> i have never seen snow like this. never ever. >> there is nowhere to put it. the streets are all backed up. it's crazy. >> we are dig out now by know we'll have to dig out later. patti ann: rick, how cold is it? >> reporter: the with warning remains in effect.
6:10 am
it warmed up to 3 degree. it was zero this morning. it was minus 24 overnight. 7 feet of snow in the last 3 and a half weeks. you can see how they carve out parking spaitions for themselves. right next to that there always car underneath all that snow. you can see how people save their parking spots and do not think about mark someone's spot who caused it out and saved it. people are continuing to dig out. the stiff made these one-waive -- the city made these streets one-way streets. they were supposed to be 2-way. we found piles near the boston harbor 70 feet tall. i spoke to a woman who has had
6:11 am
about enough. >> reporter: have you ever experienced anything quite like this? >> never. >> reporter: how are you dealing with it? rue * one day at a time. it's all you can do. >> reporter: that's peg. she is tough. patti ann: great attitude there. but a lot of concerns. we have one of them being roofs collapsing. >> reporter: that's a major problem here. we can show an example of it. that's why people are asked to clear off their roofs if they can. the house next to that it looks like several feet may be weighing down the framework and that can lead to collapse. there have been numerous
6:12 am
examples. in some cases the walls buckle and the structures are destroyed. the there has been a pile up that left several injuries. this is why authorities are asking people to stay off the roads if at all possible and let the:plows doing their d let the plows do their jobs. and it's just not going to end for us. bill: we all feel like peg and elizabeth. it smacts you right in the face when you walk outside. there is a glitch on the obama care website. the latest snafu and what it might mean form you. patti ann: a moth early of 4 gunned down outside her home in a case of afairnlt road rage. bill: why would some law makers
6:13 am
say his plan is not enough. >> we should give the authority to the president to win the battles we can win. i believe the thrgs thorgs the authorization the president asked for will give him the tools he needs. three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do, drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement, we'll replace the full value of your car. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. it's happening. today, more and more people with type 2 diabetes are learning about long-acting levemir® an injectable insulin that can give you blood sugar control for up to 24 hours.

6:16 am
6:17 am
>> i think we need to have a robust authorization. and i don't believe what the president said gives him the flexibility and authority to take on this enemy and to win. bill: john boehner saying the president's plan gives him less authority to take on isis. speaker saying what on this debate? >> he believes the president needs a extra jane he doesn't have a -- needs a strategy an doesn't have a strategy and the administration put forward a resolution that constrains the president in ways that make it unlikely he can achieve the goal of victory.
6:18 am
we have others in this debate who believe that the president's proposal is too broad and needs to be constrains even further. it will be a difficult and long debate to get a resolution. bill:ing a long debate meaning weeks, if not months. >> in the senate you need 60 of 100 senators voting for it. you have to have 60 senator hospital agree to a resolution. he understand he has authority under the 2001 use of force resolution passioned by the congress that -- passed by the congress that allows him to be able to say i ended the war that began on my predecessor's watch
6:19 am
and limited the u.s. involvement to three years which is one of the things people have a problem with. how can you guarantee this operation is going to be over in three years. bill: i think the american people need to be ready for this debate. you have got the government of the egypt calling on the united states according to a righters report, asking us to lead in the -- according to a reuters report. some democrats want limits on this authority. this what is said yesterday. >> itment important to get yes -- it's important that we find a way to get yes on the resolution. and it's important we don't write a blank check. bill: how do we get to yes carl? >> it will be difficult.
6:20 am
adam shift voted for the 2001 resolution and the authorization of use of force in iraq. but the congress had a tool to manage their policy disagreements with the president over war fighting called the budget process the power of the purse. senator mccain made the argument these kind of restrains people like schiff and others are looking for are constitutional restraints on the war-making power of the president. congress can authorizes the use of force and if they don't like the way it's being used, they can with hold the funds. senator obama tried to withdraw funding and deny use of force. if the president wantd an
6:21 am
authorization use of force against isis it was clear six months ago force was needed to contain isis but that was before the election but he didn't want to disrupt his narrative i successfully ended two wars. and we are still fighting in iraq and afghanistan. the american people know, do we have a clear strategy? 19 yes 73 no. last september it was 26 yes 64 no. will airstrikes get it done? the american people no we don't have a clear strategy. bill: karl rove, thank you. patti ann: if you were hoping to get your special deliveries by
6:22 am
drone, the obama administration may have made that less likely.
6:23 am
6:24 am
6:25 am
bill: hackers stealing $1 billion from banks and institutions in the united states and russia and the attacks are said to still be happening. patti ann: remember those so-called amazon drones? they would drop your package on your doorstep like the jetsons. but there is some pushback. what's the reaction so far?
6:26 am
>> reporter: it's fair to say its been mixed. you have a lot of business leaders saying week work this because we have gotten the white house and faa to come together and give us some guidelines. i want to show you some of the proposals from the faa. no flying of drones within five miles of an airport. but they also have to weigh less than 55 pounds. drones can weigh between 1/10 pound and 5 pound. so 55 is pretty big. they can fly the height of a washington monument and that's where they have to remain within eyesight of the user. is that actual observation if you can't see it you can't fly it? patti ann: how much resistance
6:27 am
so far object capitol hill? >> when you think about what law makers are after. they want consumers and corporations to be able to utilize drones in a safe way but they want to make sure restrictions don't hamper business. new york senator chuck shoer is saying, i even curb them to strike a -- i encourage them to strikestrike a balance that insures they don't interfere with pair craft and places like the white house. under the new guidelines flights at night would be illegal. we'll keep watching it as it unfolds. now back to you. bill: a ceasefire in ukraine
6:28 am
taking effect. but new concerns the deal is falling apart as clashes continue. we are live on the ground to figure out the next move there. patti ann: egypt is calling for afak tacks against isis after the beheading of christians.
6:29 am
6:30 am
6:31 am
bill: a high-stakes peace deal taking next ukraine over the weekend but it may be at risk. both sides are claiming violations of the ceasefire as fighting flares up yet again. gregg palkot is live from ukraine. based on what you can tell, is
6:32 am
there a peace deal or not? >> reporter: it's a shaking peace deal. there are a couple deadly flashpoints that could blow this up. the important transport hub 8,000 ukrainian troops, 5,000 civilians inside. they are surrounded by russian-backed rebels. tanks and artillery have been pound can the place. ukrainians have been told by the rebels surrender your weapons or else. positions around the airport that have been destroyed in past battles and there are other clashes including the southern citycity of mariupol. spoatmariupol.
6:33 am
bill: what is the role moscow and putin flying this? >> reporter: everything i'm hearing is russia is playing an active role. that human taken jar convoy magically appeared hours after the ceasefire went into effect. it came from russia across a border manned by russia-backed rebels. charges in the back car goes like that also included weapons and ammunition. one well-placed insider said he reckons vladimir putin ordered his rebels to make certain territorial gains before the ceasefire. they didn't quite do it so now they are trying to finish the job. we must add that vladimir putin said he has no troops, he has no
6:34 am
weapons, he has no strategies inside eastern ukraine. that is what vladimir putin says. patti ann: officials in egypt renewing calls for the u.s. to lead a coalition against isis in that country. the egyptian military vowing revenge after terrorists beheaded 21 coptic christians. thank you as always, general. egypt and libya launched airstrikes in libya. it's the first time tie row acknowledged taking military action against its neighbor. egypt saying, egypt and the whole world are in a battle with
6:35 am
extremist groups and renew their calls to the international coaliton to take the necessary measures to confront this organization. is the war on terror growing into an international campaign? >> isis is the face of radical islam. bill had hah map up there that -- dill had a bill had a map up there that showed the straight ahead through the middle east. no wonder the president of egypt who is fighting an insurgency in the east in the sinai and is concerned about the radical islamists in the west wants
6:36 am
help. we don't have a strategy to deal with this comprehensively. and of course he wants u.s. leadership. i'm not talking about u.s. troops fighting every red spot on that map. but leading a coalition, and a strategy to push back is a fitting and appropriate role for the united states. patti ann: the execution video specifically threatens rome. we don't know if the next attack will be in rome. but what do you make of all that? >> isis use what is can to grow and recruit its members. that references -- it's no accidents the egyptians who were killed were christians.
6:37 am
that's the primary motivation in killing them that barbaric way. viewers should be recalled that when we deposed qaddafi the on thing the moderate government asked forefrom the united states was to assist us in developing an effective security force to deal with the militants running around the country fighting qaddafi. our answer to that was no. just as our answer was in the same year to the moderate rebels in syria. here comes isis taking advantage of this political upheaval and look what happened. our embassy is closed in egypt. that government that wanted our assistance is run out of tripoli, and the radical islamists are even closing into a failed state in egypt. the egyptian president is asking
6:38 am
for help. patti ann: catherine herridge notes the jihadi is wearing the same distinctive camo. that's deliberately meant to show there is coordination between these two groups. how much coordination do you believe there is between the various jihadi groups? >> there certainly is. i don't believe for a minute al-baghdadi who has his hands full in syria and iraq is directing and controlling activities in other countries. but at least these other countries are emulating what isis is doing and obviously there is some communication with them. but i don't believe unless command and control of these organizations. that doesn't mean they will be less effective? these organizations will grow pass the publicity and media attention is paid to them
6:39 am
because of their barbarism and what pea pears to be the -- what appears to be the ability of people to deal with this effectively. patti ann: you saying the u.s. so far might not be rising to that challenge. we have a summit coming up wednesday about combating violent extremism. what do you expect out of that? >> i have mixed views about it. one we are not even naming it properly. if this starts to deal with the rights of radical islam and we start to look at that comprehensively. then maybe we have something. but if we are are looking at terrorism as criminal activity which is flying various countries like we just saw in copenhagen. if that's all this turned out to be and there is into
6:40 am
comprehensive strategy. if you look at that map and you have something as global as that. isn't it obvious the response should be global. the countries of the world should unite to push against this and we should develop a strategy to deal with these movements as they exist. there is so much to be learned from countries who have had more experience than others. some are in that infantile beginnings and others are sophisticated. we should be partnering and sharing training. bill: back to the weather. in the southeast travelers could face delays. 40 million americans in the path of this storm stretching from oklahoma and tulsa.
6:41 am
winter storm warnings are being posted in several areas. it's coming so get ready for it. minus 11 degree in new york. it could be worse. patti ann: a former defense secretary for president obama is warning the biggest danger facing our country is washington's failure to get its act together. dr. ben carson will react to that. bill: road rage with deadly consequences of this mother of four. >> my mother did not deserve this. she was the grandmother of one.
6:42 am
floor mats... clear coats... >>you're getting warmer... leather seats... >>and this... my wife bought me that. get your credit swagger on. become a member of experian credit tracker and find out your fico score powered by experian. fico scores are used in 90% of credit decisions.
6:43 am
i'm louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i told myself for so long that i needed to quit smoking. i would quit then i'd go right back
6:44 am
to it. chantix absolutely helped me quit smoking. 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 hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i'm not worried about smoking my next cigarette. to me that feels great. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
6:45 am
bill: leon panetta blasting the white house. he says the greatest threat to our national security is the inability of washington to get anything done. >> the greatest threat to this country's national security is the total dysfunction. the fact so little can be done with it congress. they can't deal with homeland security budgets infrastructure, immigration. if they can't deal with this war authorization that sends a terrible message to the world. bill: dr. ben carson wrote the book, "you have a brain. he's the professor emeritus of
6:46 am
pediatric surgery at johns hopkins. what do you think of what secretary panetta laid out? >> i think he has a lot of validity in what he is saying. we have all become democrats or republicans instead of americans. everything is aimed at enhancing one political position. unless we are able to get beyond the politicalization. -- a house divided against itself cannot stand. the president is the purpose who is -- is the person who is supposed to bed the leader. the definition of a good leader is someone who can take people with different agendas and pull
6:47 am
them together to accomplish a goal. we have the opposite of that going on. if the president wants to have a good legacy, this would be good time to start it. let's look for ways we can strengthen america and not put everything into a partisan arena. bill: a panetta said the president has learned from his mistakes. >> hopefully he learned we are not dealing with a jv organization. they are sophisticated. and they have tentacles growing around the world. they are still in theired a le sent stage. but if we allow them to mature into a full-grown tree with deep
6:48 am
roots and thick branches, it will be impossible to defeat them. bill: last week the president said his job when it comes to this terrorism is like a mayor fighting crime. in a big american city. he said if the mayor is successful, then he will take the crime out. and suggesting that over time we'll judge whether he is successful and whether he takes on isis the correct way. you have given this great thought, and you just quoted candle suggest we need to get out of them now in their infant stage. what would you do? >> i would use every resource available, military, banking sanctions, you name it, i would not hesitate to put boots on the
6:49 am
ground. we need to be the leaders. the coalition will form if it has a leader. but you can't sit around saying you guys do this. this is serious. i would commit toaferg eliminating them right now. and we have to make sure our military which is extremely talented with very good leadership, is not put in a tom come pro mighted position where we have people trying to micromanage them. we have people trying to manage the military who know nothing about military strategy. our military needs to know they are not going to be prosecuted when they come back because somebody says you did something that was politically incorrect. there is no such thing as a politically correct war. if you are going have rules for war, you should have a rule that says no war. bill: people are curious about
6:50 am
your future. you said you have would aglowrns candidacy by be in may. >> if i make an announce it it will be in may. patti ann: the american sniper murder trial is underway today. bill: something is going on pat at -- onat the washington monument. why it may not ever stand as thomas it was.
6:51 am
i've smoked a lot and quit a lot but ended up nowhere. now...i use this. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. is it our insightful strategies that make edward jones one of the country's biggest financial services firms? or 13,000 financial advisors who say thank you? it's why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way.
6:52 am
6:53 am
bill: one of our nation's most famous is being
6:54 am
downsized. it will be shorter by 10 inches. the new height 54 feet 7 inches tall. patti ann: a heartbreaking case in las vegas. a man hunt still underway. investigators say someone gunned down a mother of four near her home in an apparent incident of road rage. she was driving home after giving her daughter a driving lesson. police save the suspect followed her home and is still on the run. >> reporter: police have a good description of the suspect and the car which they believe shows signs of a collision and several bullet holes.
6:55 am
the mother is teaching her daughter to park, she has a fender bender. she drives home and they follow. once there the passenger in that car opens fire and killed debbie myers, a 45-year-old mother of four. >> there was no excuse and no reason. i hope to god they know we are looking and they will be caught. >> reporter: the shooting occurred thursday, myers died saturday after doctors took her off life support. patti ann: you mentioned bullet holes in the car. how did that happen? >> reporter: she called home and her son came out in the front yard and returned fire.
6:56 am
police also released a composite sketch of the suspect white male, dirty spiked blond hair. somebody knows who this is. police probably have several leads. the family understandably upset. their mother died on valentine's day and shot on her youngest son's birthday. >> he did what any son would do. he returned fire. fan i would have been here there would be four people laying here. >> reporter: if this situation ever happens to you police say call them, they will foul and intervene so something like this doesn't happen. but no arrests yet.
6:57 am
bill: guess who is asking the united states for help in defeating isis today.
6:58 am
6:59 am
7:00 am
bill: 0bg on a monday morning here in new york. egyptian war planes launching air strikes against islamic state targets after the beheadings of 31 christians from -- 21 christians from egypt. it's happened again. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," morning to you, patti ann. patti ann: i'm patti ann brown in for martha and cairo is calling for u.s. can coalition forces to expand their operations against isis into libya as egypt's military launches a second wave of airstrikes. and italy is now warning nato about isis being at europe's doorstep. france also calling for a meeting of the u.n. security council to help deal with the growing danger. bill: so many pulled into this crisis now, and the latest sparked by a video of isis
7:01 am
beheading coptic christians kidnapped from egypt. general jack keane telling us last hour that washington should step this to help. step in to help. >> leading a coalition and developing a strategy to push back on this is a very fitting and appropriate role for the united states. bill: chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live in washington now and catherine, here we go again starting a new week. how is egypt's military responding to this beheading now? >> reporter: bill, this morning egyptian officials confirming this second wave of airstrikes now in eastern libya. that is the home to a group called ansar al-sharia the same group that was behind the 2012 attack in benghazi that killed our body -- our ambassador and three other americans. it's become a de facto safe haven. this as intelligence officials weigh the significance of the five minute video with one senior military intelligence source telling fox news it is a direct challenge to western values and the western way of life adding the administration
7:02 am
will likely continue to downplay these horrific incidents. a counterterrorism contact that tracks social media says the video follows the group's targeting plan for lone wolf assaults. military police and christians. there are also highly symbolic elements in the tape according to analysts who have reviewed it. the isis jihadi who threatens romes, which is a symbol for christianity, is seen as a reference to wearing the distinctive camo clothing that was worn by the executioners in the recent videos where a jordanian pilot was burned to death in a cage. this is significant and meant to show coordination between two groups. the jihadi also spooks in clear english -- speaks in clear english suggesting he is a foreign fighter and even north americans with his face covered, analysts say it could only be a voiceover. bill: catherine, the beheadings occurred in libya. these were egyptian coptic christians who were working in libya and apparently based on
7:03 am
the reporting i see, they were taken hostage sometime in december and january. >> reporter: correct. bill: and then the attacks were led by cairo in the eastern part of libya and doubled up on behalf of the libyan government as well. what is the response now from the administration on all this? >> reporter: well, the former cia director and defense secking tear leon panetta, who is a highly credible voice in this area told the sunday talk shows that isis, in his opinion is the new face of the threat because it's well funded, has a strong command and control structure, and it's an enemy that is well armed. >> as a result of that, i think that they can conduct the kind of offensive operations that can be very effective and that have to be met tooth and nail with everything we've got. that's the reality. isis is a whole new chapter in terms of the terrorist threat to that area and to our country.
7:04 am
>> reporter: just to emphasize, a u.s. intelligence official is reviewing the tape, but this incident is now believed to be the largest documented mass execution outside of syria and iraq. and also in an area of libya which has been declared a safe haven for isis. there has been no response so far from the nsc, the national security council. it's interesting to note that they have now taken the lead on responding to all these videos, no longer being done by the cia or the national counterterrorism center -- bill: why is that? >> reporter: because they're trying to centralize control of their message. bill: i see. >> reporter: damage control. bill: catherine herridge live on that from washington d.c. patti ann? patti ann: well, pope francis this morning speaking off the cuff denouncing the brutal execution of those christians in libya. this as the horrific video fuels fears of takes in nearby italy. the pope saying, quote: they only said jesus help me. the blood of our christian brothers is testimony that cries
7:05 am

7:06 am
what's the latest? >> reporter: well, the latest story is that the dead terrorist actually wrote a few things on his facebook profile just before committing the first attack. apparently he swore allegiance to baghdadi the leader of the islamic state, that that's his first name. he also wrote 20 minutes before -- he quoted the i quran about driving out the infidels. and the latest from the presser and the police they're also telling us now why they raided an internet café yesterday. they found out that this man was actually there between 10 and 10:45. that was between the two attacks. patti ann: so what, what can you tell us, tom about the two men arrested today? what more detail? >> reporter: only details are how long they have been imprisoned. they've only actually been in prison for ten days, and that's without solitary confinement. that's a bit surprising. the defense lawyer says that's a
7:07 am
signal that the evidence is not very strong, and i would have to agree because very often you see them get solitary confinement. so that's a bit interesting. patti ann: all right. reporting live for us, tom carstensen, thank you. bill: a frigid blast gripping the northeast. arctic-like temperatures sweeping across the area making shoveling after the latest snowstorm even more miserable. >> i'm just laughing at it, and i'm looking at the positive side. i believe i'm seeing a weather event that's probably not going to happen for another 50 years. bill: going to wait another 50 years, maria. [laughter] what is the latest now as winter really settles in with a strong grip? >> reporter: we've just had a nor'easter yet again this weekend, some areas picked up more than a foot of snow across parts of massachusetts and also surrounding areas. and wind gusts reported over 60 miles per hour out there.
7:08 am
so that really was a powerful storm system. and behind it we have some very cold arctic air that's moved southward and some of these wind chill temperatures are quite cold. in cleveland it feels like 10 below zero and farther north into new england, some of those numbers are as cold as 24 degrees below zero. taking a look at other areas, in the plains you're on the cold side, that includes the city of dallas and part west into denver -- farther west into denver. this continues over the next several days. here's a look at the forecast low temperatures for tuesday to morning, these are not wind chills, these are actual temperatures. below zero in places like buffalo and also farther west into fargo, that continues into wednesday morning, thursday morning and friday morning. continuing to feel that cold arctic air. bill, take a look at in this number that's five degrees in new york city for the forecast low temperature coming up friday morning. we have another storm system we're tracking, and this one's
7:09 am
across parts of mid south. we have some snow and freezing rain a huge concern across parts of arkansas and tennessee. accumulation of a quarter inch or more is going to cause big problems on the road. bill: for a lot of people in the southeast. i was just in the american west. i mean, it is warm out -- the whole system has flipped itself, maria. >> reporter: yeah. big ridge out west, so very warm air moving into that area, and it's been in place in a big trough. that takes a dip across parts of the east that allows that cold air to move in and those winter storms to take that track right up the east coast. bill: feels like spring out there but not here. thanks maria. talk to you soon. patti ann: and you might be asking yourself, how cold is it? take a look at bryant park in new york city, the entire thing frozen solid. temperatures here in the city dropped to about 0 overnight. bill: you know i drive by that thing every day on the way to work, and i look at it and say how much progress have you made today? wow, it look like winter.

7:15 am
attack aimed at that base on friday killing the isis fighters. pete hegseth is the ceo of concerned veterans for america and a fox news contributor. thank you for joining us. so on friday the isis fighters try today attack this base that houses the marines. apparently, they didn't get very close, some killed by iraqi troops others detonated their suicide vests. no iraqi or u.s. troops were killed or wounded and, in fact, no u.s. troops were even involved. their section of the base is apparently two miles away from where this fight took place but regardless pete, this raises alarms. congressman peter king had this to say. let's listen. >> the fact is those 300 marines are the toughest guys around, and they are well armed. but the fact that the isis attacks, they didn't work doesn't mean that it couldn't work in the future, doesn't mean that something bad couldn't have been done. patti ann: general tom mcinerney said yesterday we've been given a warning, we have to take action. >> if i'm one of those marines
7:16 am
i don't like my position. i'm not able to go on to fencive, i'm not able to expand my security perimeter, i'm not able to kill the isis fighters seeking to take me on. right now their hands are tied behind their back, and they're in a defensive posture, and they e know isis controls a town five miles away has attempted to hit the base -- ineffectively, but attempted -- and it's in a valley in that area with high ground surrounding it. there's no good natural defenses, so controlling that high ground's important. when we held that base when more u.s. marines were there, we would maintain observation posts there. in many ways the marines -- while safe right now in the immediate -- that situation could change if the wrong terrain falls into the wrong hands. patti ann: yeah. we should mention you served in iraq. last month the pentagon confirmed u.s. troops at this al assad base have been coming under regular mortar fire. they tribed it as ine --
7:17 am
described it as ineffective. nonetheless, the general says we should seize control of the key roads used by isis in that area and really take some strong military action. what specifically would we do militarily other than the things you just mentioned? >> well, you would want you want to deny key terrain because if the enemy holds terrain near that facility they're going to try to use fixed locations to fire indirect whether it's rockets or mortars, and likely they know where that marine compound is. they probably have good enough intelligence either from insiders in the iraqi army or others who know where the marine compound is within al assad which means their ability to target direct fire will eventually, unfortunately, get better. if we don't disrupt their haven and we don't partner alongside the iraqis to do it, then we're putting our marines in a precarious situation. if i know these guys, and i know marines, they have been chomping at the bit to put a bullet in the head of these isis
7:18 am
terrorists who are seeking to maintain a haven from which to americans. and -- to kill americans. the americans are training iraqis, but the iraqis still can't repel isis. that's got to be maddening for that company commander on the ground with those marines training iraqis but not able to kill isis who certainly wants to kill them. patti ann: i would imagine. so this base attack may have failed, but the ace m lake -- islamic state has taken other al-baghdadi, it's 55 miles from the capital, ramadi. differing accounts of how much of al-baghdadi is under isis control, but some say it might be 90%. how big a concern is this? >> it's a big concern. the iraqi army made a push on friday into saturday but, ultimately, gave away some of the government buildings. you know, i think the dynamic at play there is the iraqi army, as much as we may want them to be capable, they're not willing to die same way isis is. that attack on the air base
7:19 am
included multiple suicide bomb ors, all 20, 25 members of isis were killed which does seem like a success. when you're fighting an enemy that welcomes death, that loves death, that believes death sends them to to paradise, they fight with a ferocity that the iraqi army doesn't have. it's not going to be easy once they entrench themselves in that city just like in mosul and fallujah and other key cities throughout iraq pushing them out becomes that much more difficult, and the longer you wait, patti ann, the longer you allow them to build their defensive positions, the more difficult it is for them to dislodge them for the iraqis, the peshmerga, and certainly for americans. it's going to be pretty darn difficult. patti ann: all right, very troubling. pete hegseth, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. bill: about 20 minutes past the hour. a change of heart from barbara bush. what she is now saying about her son, jeb. patti ann: also a car smashing its way out of a parking lot. how this driver lost control coming up. ♪ ♪

barack obama took an unauthorized, unconstitutional action last year despite republicans saying that they would work with him on immigration this year with their new majority. he's the one who put on the table to have it tied to funding, and he is the one who is making it impossible to move forward with funding when republicans have funded the entirety of the department of homeland security minus this one little piece. without that we could move forward. but, of course it's all about president obama, and he's the one who doesn't want this to move forward as a result. patti ann: mary ann it's not really a shutdown. about 85% of dhs employees are classified as essential and must report to to work regardless of whether or not the agency is shut down. what do you make of the situation? >> here's the real point here: if john boehner and his republican colleagues can't stand up to the tea party members of their caucus then they can't stand up to the terrorists either. and if that's the case, they should step aside.
