10:06 am
by. it susan rice said isis is not a threat in the united states. but many in congress watching the growth of isis see it as a potential threat to the united states. some think that the authorization for military support given two congress by the white house is too open- ended and some say too closed ended and here is speaker boehner speaking on fox news sunday. >> the president is asking for less authority than he had today than under previous authorization. that is not smart. we need a robust strategy to take on isil and no one has seen one from the white house. we need a robust authorization. >> leon panetta disagrees with

10:08 am
defendant's confession will be played on video in court. casy has more outside of stephenville texas. >> reporter: we are still waiting for that. the court went in recess. the videotape shoes eddy ray routh confessing to the murders when he was questioned by the authorities specifically the texas rangers. the tape has been shown in a pretrial hearing, but there is a question of whether it will be shown for the jury to see. the defenses are arguing it is inadmissible and the prosecution wants it shown. the judge will have the ultimate say sdpa and that is what we are waiting on. it will give insight on how the accused was behaving when he was caught. there is talk of him taking drugs and alcohol. and a former sheriff deputy said he heard routh confess to the
10:09 am
murders because chris kyle and chad littlefield wouldn't talk to him in the car ride on the day of the murders. this morning the court heard four voice mails that eddy left on chris kyle's murder. eddy's mother worked in the school where chris kyle was attending. kyle mentored veterans suffering for ptsb and that's the defense here. ralph's lawyers say the 27-year-old former marine had si cosis and he did not know what he was doing was wrong. of course that is where the entire insanity defense comes in to play. we are waiting to see if the videotape of the confession that is awfully damming is played in the courtroom behind me. >> are we expecting that today? >> we are hoping that it is
10:10 am
coming today. we believe that the prosecution said it plans on resting the case in the next day or so and so time is running out for them to do that. it would be the prosecution wanting to play the tape and they have to do it before they arrest. >> we'll have more on the video confession and how it could impact the murder trial in the legal panel. >> house speaker john boehner warning that he will let the homeland security shut down. can the law makers reach a deal? but the weather hits keep on coming from boaston. more snow and bitter cold temperatures add to the misery in new england when these folks could experience a break. >> have you experienced this? >> no '78 was a piece of cake compared to this. >> how are you dealing with it?

snshs warning that the department of the homeland security could shut down because of the impasse. the it is our chief correspondent mike emmanuel there. >> reporter: with congress out of town for the president's holiday. it will be down to the the wire for funding department of homeland security before money runs out. >> the senate democrats should be the blame. >> you are prepared to let that happen? >> certainly, the house did their job. >> pelosi sounding this alarm. with only four legislative days left until the republican homeland security shut down speaker boehner made it clear he will not avoid a government
10:15 am
shutdown that threatens the american people. white house feels confident that the republicans will get the blame. >> law enforcement officials associated with defending our boards and protecting us against cyber attacks and defending our airports are forced to work without pay. that is something we should not do and congress should come back and get it done. >> senate republicans understand challenging the president's immigration action but don't like this fight. >> we need to sit down and work this thing out and there is ways to address with what the president did was unconstitutional. it is not shutting down the department of homeland security. it is too serious. >> many house republicans are are trying to hold the president accountable for exceeding his authority. >> mike, thank you.
10:16 am
>> for more on this. i am joined by benny johnson director for i review.com. and jesse ka ciniche. they have four days to get dhs funded. jackie what do you think the chances snr >> i think it will shut down. the republicans have been trying to figure it out for a month and it seems like they don't have a plan to get it passed. you have to wonder if john boehner could get a short term passed in the house. even if dhs will not get funded they will have to get the funding started. >> benny how dow see it. last year the republicans funded the budget but the homeland
10:17 am
security it was a priliant tactic to defund the president's actions on immigration? >> right just when things were getting boring here in washington d.c. for political coverage we get another shut down. it is great news for a reporter because we talk about the optices which is what the gop learned the last time they shut down the government 16 days last year over the obama care fight. it is an optic's game. who can sell the message the best. it was problematic last time on the gop and they ended up caving on a issue funding of obama care. this time the gop base is very much against executive amnesty and john boehner is in a tough position of looking week or losing an optices game of the the shutdown of homeland
10:18 am
security. would it be devastating to the department? the necessity of the department would function and people would get paid after the shutdown, but it was not looking good for republicans this short of the control of congress to shut down a department like homeland security. >> talking about the optices, jackie, last time they controlled the house and now they have house and senate and promised to govern responsibly. how do they let a major department with a quarter of a million or so employees shut down without looking irresponsible. >> that is the question that mitch mcconnell is asking. when he took over the senate they weren't going to shut down the government. boehner saying it is the senate's fault doesn't hold water. they need six democrats to pass
10:19 am
the bill. they are also losing republicans and this is problematic and the other thing we are looking at a different election cycle. this is not midterm. you have to wonder if the presidential contenders want to talk about this either? >> it is all the actions of the president on immigration. he said he couldn't do and he turned around and did it. and draws the republican's ire. democrats are perfectly willing to go along with it. >> i spoke to a boehner source this morning and said they will stick hard to the line that laws originate in the house chamber and john boehner is in charge of the chamber and this is boehner and the gop's reaction to an unconstitutional executive action by the administration. that is from boehner world. that is what they will message it as. will that message stick with the american people? >> i am not sure americans are
10:20 am
ready to necessarily blame anybody in this fight. they want the government to keep up and running no matter kwh which department it is. benny and jackie thank you. >> isis expanding its foot print and finding new territory to spread the cause of jihad. and a road rage incident with deadly consequences with a mother of four. the manhunt on for the driver who followed her home and devastated a family. >> you guys that did this, look at this closely. she's gone now. she's leaving a 15 year,20 and 21 and 23-year-old without a mom tonight. so you got your wish you fired the shot and she's gone. there's only one egg that just tastes

10:28 am
others? we abandoned the egyptian government and because we banded with the muslim brotherhood. we are not doing our job. >> and interesting walid. what about going on in europe. it could highlight france. terrorist struck there and inspired by isis. it doesn't matter if they were affiliated. he four people in the kosher market and a terror attack in copenhagen as well. and there are those in a 60 minutes the report said the terrorist in europe are hybrid terrorist and petty criminals and psychological. fell in the hand fdz islamist persuading them to the dark side. what do you think of that argument in europe? >> that is the academic elite on

10:46 am
of eddy ray routh confessing to the shooting death of chris trail and chad littlefield. he is saying apparently weird stuff on this tape including i didn't know what was right and i didn't know what was wrong? doesn't that sound like insanity. >> it. it sounds like he searched the difficult definition of insanity and regurgitate it in the videotape. no one is arguing that he committed the murder. the issue is did he do it while he was legally insane. >> there is a lot of the talk about ptsb and the military service. he smoked marijuana and laced with pcp the morning of the killings and that would seem like a direct and plausible
10:47 am
cause than ptsb. >> and i believe that is what the prosecution will hone in. it is not a mental disorder and as a matter of fact one of the experts gave a statement normally people who suffer from that disorder were not violent people. i believe it was the drug and alcohol use. >> can his team blame it on the ptsb? >> what their theory is he was in si cosis. and instead of killing two incident people he thought he was on the battlefield killing the enemy. i don't think that defense will fly. you can have a crew loose and not legally insane. if you knew the difference between right and wrong, the defense is not available.
10:48 am
>> can you smoke pot and lace it with drugs and cause it to be legally insane. >> not at all. they use that they will fail. and they will not suck sowed in the defense of insanity and those insanity defenses don't suck sowed in general. >> after he was arrested for the killing, he said if i didn't take his soul he was going to take mine. the words of a disturbed individual but does it make him insane? >> the jury and experts are going to have to examine if he knew at the time what he was doing was wrong. and sometimes he clearly knows it is wrong. and leads the previous on a high speed chase. and then she said i didn't know what i was doing was wrong and i
10:49 am
had to take two souls. >> he said on the tape. i killed them because they wouldn't talk to me. now, if you are the judge do you let it in or keep it out. >> it depends on if it is too prejudicial in the terms of the evidence. the prosecution wants it because it establishes his confession and two it doesn't mean he was a insane. he may have been hallisinating. >> and not only the prosecution i want it in. and i think the jury ought to see this it. it is his word and he got his miranda rights red to him. >> i don't think it is prejudicial and could benefit both sides. the defense said he is crazy and the prosecution is saying he is pretending to be crazy and the experts will have to examine it.
10:50 am
you can't have an insanity defense without experts on both sides. >> again the judge is supposed to decide today. and we'll thank you both. >> thank you. it's no place for a plane that once served as air force one. but that's where one former presidential plane is sitting. the new effort to save this. that's coming up. and the washington monument still standing tall our ore nation's capital. but not quite as tall as we all thought. we'll explain. if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. that we all need

was buying a piece of presidential history. now the aging airplane is in desperate need of a makeover and a new home. we have more from denver with this story. >> this is the only air force one not in a museum. and if the owner doesn't get donations soon, this piece of american history is going to rot in the arizona desert. it was an incident on this aircraft that prompted all american presidents to fly under the call sign air force one. the plane now sits in a field at an airport outside tucson. >> that is a very significant number right there. it changed the whole course of presidential air transport history. >> theit carried president eisenhower in 1952. >> for air force traffic control purposes in 1953, this aircraft
10:55 am
and eastern airlines flight 8610 ended up in the same airspace over new york city. >> and the call sign air force one was born. the plane was eventually replaced and ended up at an air force base where its history was lost and then sold at auction to a man named mel chrysler. ten years later the smithsonian called mel to tell him the plane's history. >> they restored it and flew it around in the early '90s. >> the men tried to sell it but with no buyers, it was never sold. >> i hope someday somebody finally goes you know what, let's go get that thing. that would be a plus. >> museums have shown an interest in doing a complete restoration. but so far none has been able to come up with the $1.5 million it will take. >> very interesting. thank you.
