reminder that government is never -- >> is this a hit. >> a hit for fixing your mistakes. >> and some skepticism about government health advice. that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel and to all of you watching. hope to see you right here next week. could we soon see a change of course in afghanistan? big news emerging right now as we learn washington is looking into possibly slowing down the removal of the last u.s. troops from the country. welcome to a brand new hour inside news headquarters. hello, everyone i'm julie banderas. >> 10,000 force remain in afghanistan. most are supposed to be gone by the end of next year. the news that they may stay longer comes as newly confirmed secretary of defense ash carter meets with top officials in

afghanistan. our peter doocy is live now in d.c. with more details about this. peter doocy from washington. >> right now in afghanistan 10,000 american troops. the plan was to pull out half of them by the end of this erand the end of next year the other half. the new afghan government is performing much better than anyone in d.c. expected. so there are these new discussions about how to aid their success. >> our priority now is to make sure this progress sticks. that is why president obama is considering a number of options to reinforce our support for the president's security strategy, including possible changes to the timeline for our draw down of u.s. troops. >> so, there are three big things the administration is looking at. leaving americans in afghanistan longer.

adjusting their role and their mission. maybe even reimagining the process foreclosing u.s. bases in that country. right now it's just talk. next month the afghan president is going to meet with president obama in d.c. to see if any of it can actually work. in fact, the president is already talking about the possibility of reconciling with the taliban. >> the grounds for peace have never been better in the last 36 years. >> so far there haven't been any big changes to u.s. policy in afghanistan. but the new defense secretary ash carter says these ideas are being floated as ways to protect the major investment the united states made in that country since 2001. kelly? >> peter, appreciate it. >> turning now to a manhunt under way in a minneapolis police shooting.

investigators are saying an officer and his partner were wrapping up a burglary call when shots were fired. the wounded officer was rushed to a local hospital where he is now listed in satisfactory con. condition. so far no rest that was been made. the minneapolis mayor said the officers were clearly targeted in what he calls a cowardly act. a new setback for obamacare prompting the house oversight committee to call for a hearing next week to look into the intersection of the health care law and tax season. the hearing will focus on how or what impact the law is having on tax season. after the administration announced friday that a tax reporting glitch will delay tax filings for some 800,000 ny will have to refile. the president of conservative review and center for american progress action fund.

they both join us right now to weigh in on this issue. this debate. good to see you this afternoon. so look the administration says this is just a glitch that will be ironed out but this is a headache for 800,000 people who have to correct the wrong tax information that they were given by the president's health care overhaul. how is this being viewed by those for and against the health care act. >> obamacare it really is an example that the command and control of big government will fail americans every time. this all started with president obama lying to americans. you can keep your plan, your doctor, rates will go down. what we're witnessing now also is that almost a million americans are being affected with their tax refunds and listen you got to remember that americans rely on those refunds for family bills to take care of mishaps that might come up unexpectedly. may want to go on a vacation.

people are relying on these refunds. sadly, we have their packages being delayed. >> look i don't think we need to go too big to blow this out of a proportion. yes a lot of people being impacted. 90% to 95% of those people have not submitted their irs are forms. they should get new forms hhs is working to get them new forms. this was 11.4 million people were able to enroll in the open marketplace this year. that's a great number. this is work. people are taking advantage it. unfortunately for 800,000 of those people they need a new form. it does not impact the refund. they will get a new form and it will be honored. they will get it in time and honored. they opened up a special enrollment period for people who have not yet bought plans to april 30th. >> you mentioned the number 11 million, 5 million of those

americans already had health insurance coverage and because of the mandate they were forced off of those plans. so what you're talking about is like half of americans who already had insurance who could afford it and liked it and could keep their doctor were forced off their plans because of this mandate. >> to emily's point the enrollment did pick up. 11 million people. you get to the real question and healthercare.gov acknowledging this mistake happened adding this year's information on premiums was replaced for what should have been 2014 numbers. those are the kinds of things you look at and keep saying you did this to us before and now you're doing it once again. i guess the fundamental question is does it erode the confidence in a system that's already viewed by the gop as being broken and replaceable and repealable. >> totally. go ahead. >> look the gop is very, especially those in congress are very hard lined.

gop governors saying that they do not believe a system that works. unfortunately for them there's the reality of the fact that all of these people are already feeling the benefits of the law. young people able to stay on their parents plans. people able to start businesses and get coverage. people with pre-existing conditions and were either job locked or couldn't get plans at all. people are feeling the benefits. we're not where we were two years ago with the gop saying get rid of it, it's not going. many of the things they predicted would happen did not turn out. people do not want these benefits taken away from them. they feel it's part of their lives. they are benefiting. to say you want to get rid of it all together you need a plan. >> there needs better way to do it. what you don't do is disrupt millions of americans for a few americans who are claiming you are trying to cover. even the cbo said something like 32 million americans will not be insured. so what the republican congress needs to do is repeal obamacare,

do a budget reconciliation. you know obama will veto it most likely but i can see democrats distancing themselves from obama because of the upcoming election for next year. >> all right. thanks for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you. the political class has all but concede the democratic presidential nomination to hillary clinton. but tonight a fox news special look at some of the democrats who hope to stop clinton's presidential quest. including an interview with jim webb. listen. >> once a week to walk through there. think america forgets? >> even in the worse times of vietnam and post-vietnam america has always loved their veterans. >> america has to do a better job. >> one thing that i say over and over again if you want to think about it hire one.

a health scare this week at ucla medical center raising serious concerns nationwide after 180 people were exposed to a deadly drug-resistant superbug. while undergoing endoscopic procedures. now, health officials are saying there needs to be greater focus on what should happen when antibiotics simply don't work anymore in patients with dangerous bacteria. i'm joined by the chair of urology at lenoxville hospital

professor at hofstra school of medicine and the member of the medical a-team. what is the super bug? >> superbug are the group of bacterias that are very, very care scary and they don't respond to the antibiotics we have. this one is coming from the gi, the stool, et cetera. during the endoscopy they were looking at the bile ducts and the gallbladder,ette ette cetera, and there was infection there and they don't respond to the antibiotics that's why we call them superbugs. they also stay in the hospital. they can last very long and when they get into someone's body they can take over your whole immune system and cause a maximum sepsis and even death. two people have died and seven are in the icus. and let me tell you about 230,000 people die from this kind of disease every year. so, we're going to be talking more and more about this in the upcoming days and months.

>> okay. the patients basically underwent and let's explain to people who may not under endoscopic procedures between october and january using a specialized type of endoscope. they were essentially treating the digestive system. what type of patient would be concerned if you're going in to the hospital and you're having this done now that you're telling me that the equipment is something that is reused and so it was improperly reused was it not? >> they used the scopes correctly. but they were issues in the sterilization. >> that's scary that a hospital is improperly sterilizing. >> based on the statement from ucla, they have done everything correctly. but sometimes the manufacturer instructions may or may not be accurate or this could be a sloppy job in the sterilization. none of these are 100% accurate. that's part of the reason you still can sterilize the scopes and the infection can last and they're very resistant and they can last on the surface for a long time. that's part of the problem. the other issue the bigger

issue is, we've been using so much antibiotics julie, for so many years -- >> you read my mind. that's what i was going to ask you. it seems we're becoming immune to antibiotics and the antibiotics are not as strong as they once were to treat things -- >> we are becoming immune but even bigger than us the bugs are outsmarting us and they are becoming immune to the antibiotics. that's why they become superbugs because our antibiotics don't work anymore. in a situation like this when somebody has this kind of bacterias, basically it takes over the whole system and you just have to give supportive care and you don't have anything else. we also need to invest more money to come up with better antibiotics. be aware of, you know, the antibiotics that we take all the time take it only if it's necessary and on the advice of your doctor. we're overdoing it. >> what do hospitals need to do so this does not repeat itself when you're talking over 100 people exposed and 2 people died those numbers are alarming. >> we need to pay better

attention to sterilization and they are using new equipment and using using ethyl oxide gas. and don't overdo it with antibiotics as physician or as patients, you know, what are you taking it for? is it viral or bacterial so be careful. >> the manufacturers, i suppose maybe perhaps need to be clearer on how to sterilize their equipment. >> no statement from there yet, but every hospital is looking in to this. we'll have more of this coming in the future. this is an ongoing process you have to be very careful. >> thank you kelly? the centers for disease control and prevention working overtime to find more cases of a new deadly virus and learn how people are getting infected. it's called bourbon virus named after the county where the first patient contracted it. the kansas man noticed several tick bites last spring and started experiencing nausea and weakness and other symptoms. he was prescribed antibiotics for tick-borne illnesses but

later rushed to the hospital where he died. test results for the infectious diseases came back negative but researchers used advanced technology to detect the new virus in his blood. new details on the crisis in ukraine you'll only see here on fox news. the prime minister saying there is no cease-fire from the russian-backed rebels. a congressional showdown over president obama's immigration action going down to the wire. and funding for the all-important department of homeland security is on the line. and set to run out in less than a week. i'll talk to an expert on what to expect, next.

case and who will the jury believe. our legal panel weighs in. but first up no cease-fire with russia. that's the word from ukraine's prime minister speaking exclusively with fox news. the ukrainian leader accusing russia of secretly violating their recent peace agreement and actively supporting a new offensive in the country's volatile eastern region. we're live in kiev with the latest. greg, what's the latest on the cease-fire? >> kelly, both sides today are basically accusing each other of violating it and there could be more violations on the way.ls are said to be on the move towards meripol a big government-held city in eastern ukraine possibly the next front in this battle. in our exclusive interview with ukrainian prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk i asked him very bluntly, is this cease-fire collapsed? here's what he said.

>> we are far from collapse, do you know why? we don't have the cease-fire. >> reporter: there is no cease-fire? >> no. cease-fire means that no one shoot. cease-fire means that russian-led terrorists do not make any kind of ongoing and rolling shelling, that they do not kill ukrainian soldiers and innocent people. >> reporter: later on the prime minister got a bit more blunt. he said and i quote putin has always cheated and putin violated the deal. kelly? >> greg what else? what more did the ukrainian prime minister have to say about vladimir putin? >> reporter: absolutely, kelly, not a fan at all of the russian leader. he basically claimed that putin is waging kind of a hybrid war here in ukraine. not the conventional kind a war by proxy and stealth. i asked prime minister yatsenyuk what he thought putin's end game was. >> one can say that putin just wants ukraine.

no doubt that putin wants to take over ukraine. but let me provide a bigger scope. what's really the ultimate goal of president putin. he's fighting not just with us. he's fighting with you. he's fighting with all of us. >> reporter: we must say here that vladimir putin firmly asserts there are no russian troops and no russian hardware inside eastern ukraine. to which the ukrainian prime minister added, he's the only one who thinks that. kelly? >> the ukrainian prime minister being tough and yet very candid. greg, thank you. meanwhile the u.s. and britain discussing new sanctions against russia after the apparent breakdown of that cease-fire. in a meeting with britain's foreign secretary today, secretary of state john kerry warning moscow the u.s. is not just going to sit on the sidelines in this fight. listen -- >> i'm confident that over the course of the next days, people are determined to make it clear

we're not going to play this game. we're not going to sit there and be part of this kind of extraordinarily craven behavior at the expense of the sovereignty and integrity of a nation. >> and ukraine also a top conversation during a meeting between pope francis and german chancellor angela merkel today. the two world figures speaking about the conflict gripping the country and discussing alternatives to help end poverty. boca haram attacking villages in northern nigeria. after a recent warning from the group recently about plans to disrupt next month's presidential elections in africa's most populous nation they killed more than 10,000 people in nigeria last year alone is staging cross border attacks in cameroon, niger and chad. critics have blasted

president obama on his stance of islamic terror, they are focusing on what they call sovereign citizen extremists. what's that? well, we're reporting live from washington with more and to explain. leland? >> a lot of questions, julie. many questions about the timing of this report. just this week the administration had their much-lampooned summit to combat what they call violent extremism. at the same time they refused to call isis and other groups islamic terrorists yet this new intelligence assessment put out by the department of homeland security talks about the threat not from isis but from right wing sovereign citizen extremists these are folks angry at the government for one reason or another. the assessment set violence from sovereign citizen extremists will remain at a sporadic level this year and would most likely to occur during routine law enforcement encounters and at government buildings. and this report has a lot of folks asking why now?

>> this report is sort of an information campaign by the administration to say, hey don't worry about isis. you got to really worry more about this when, in fact, we've got to be concerned about both. >> senior congressional source gave a little context to our mike emanuel in light of the anger and outrage over the report saying that this assessment does not discount the threat from islamic extremism. a threat the source says everyone believes will increase. source also calls it a useful assessment for dhs but does not mean sovereign citizen extremists are now the department of homeland security's new focus. julie? >> thank you very much. kelly? british prime minister david cameron speaking out on what he calls the deeply concerning case of three missing schoolgirls who ran away this week apparently to join isis. police say the girls seen here on surveillance video that we're looking at flew to turkey on tuesday and are trying to cross the border into syria.

according to the bbc as many as 50 british women have left home in hopes of becoming so-called jihadi brides. prime minister cameron calling for vigilance in protecting young people from what he calls the isis death cult. well winter continues. a large part of the country dealing with harsh winter weather. a massive storm packed with heavy snow and freezing rain hitting from missouri to the mid-atlantic and it's causing pretty dangerous travel conditions. take a look at that road right there. the storm will then move into the northeast later today. it's already snowing here in new york city and other parts and the surrounding area. meteorologist janice dean is live in the fox severe weather center and somebody made a joke today and posted a picture of you at twitter and had your finger-pointing to at the map, whatever you point to there's snow. maybe you can do it without pointing. i dare you. >> i wish i could do the same thing with sunshine and warm

temperatures. i'll put my hand behind my back with this report. as you can see we've got some snow across the mid-atlantic up towards the northeast. i just can't do it. let's take a look. we've got rain, though across the tennessee river valley and up towards the ohio river valley and a lot of warm air will come up towards the north so that's kind of a good thing but we'll see a changeover tonight which could mean slippery conditions. d.c., new york filling up with snow, boston another couple of inches for you but this is a tricky one because we've got warm air coming from the south and a transition over to rain tonight and into tomorrow. so winter weather advisories in the pink. those are your warnings up towards new england that's where we could get a couple of inches of snow. but look at what happens. here we are 10:00 p.m. saturday. just on the cusp here of rain moving into new york new jersey, up towards connecticut. there's boston. and watch what happens as we go through time. we've got warmer air moving in but this is short-lived, by the way, with keep that in mind and the storm should exit by sunday. here's the snow accumulations

certainly more higher totals across the highest of elevations in towards new jersey and parts of pennsylvania upstate new york, but, again it's going to be warm. we're going to get that changeover. another storm system we're watching across the rockies. that's going to bring some ski fans excellent snow for the colorado rockies into the weekend and that's going to stretch as far south as the texas panhandle. winter weather advisories are posted. of course, this system is going to make its way across the center of the country. there's your forecast snowfall again a skiers paradise across the rockies. we watch this cold air move in again. sunday into monday all that warm air very short-lived monday into tuesday. but long-range forecast as we get into march we're going to see a pattern change a little bit and perhaps give us a little bit of relief across the northeast. i'm really sorry julie, that i couldn't do that without pointing. >> no i know. and plus you like to talk with your hands even when you're not telling the weather. >> that's very true. >> i don't know what you're

talking about. see you later, janice. kelly? >> janice and julie thank you. two astronauts performing tricky cable work at the international space station. nas sa nasa it's the most complicated cable routing job in the history of the space station. they have 150 feet of cable to run outside the station. the work is needed for the arrival of the first commercial spacecraft in 2017. boeing and spacex are building the capsules to transport astronauts to the station. julie? all right. republicans between a rock and a hard place. facing a tough decision over a dhs spending bill that could lead to a potential showdown with democrats at the white house. we're going to see how this one could play out. and why our next guest said the media is ready to blame republicans for any shutdown. hmm. and nkorth korea raising the war flag again. what they are planning this time. and how one new york city program is helping out-of-work

veterans get back in the drivers seat.

i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care

for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

and welcome back. time now for a quick check of the headlines. a convicted child sex offender telling investigators he left a maryland mall with two young sisters who disappeared in 1975. saying he sexually assaulted one of the girls the next day and never saw the sisters again. >> north korean leader kim jong-un, ahead of the military exercise next month. the north condemning the annual war games as a rehearsal for an invasion. >> the prime minister of greece facing a monday deadline to present credible reform proposals to extend the existing bailout deal and the drafting of a new one. greece agreed to a conditional deal with europe just yesterday. republicans on capitol hill grappling with a huge dilemma this week. this friday, in fact marks the deadline to pass a budget for the department of homeland

security. here's the problem. republicans want to include language that would combat president obama's recent executive order on immigration, something they fundamentally disagree with. some gop leaders like congressman peter king congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinen and marco rubio shea a showdown with the democrats and the white house is not worth having and should pass a clean bill and others like senator ted cruz say republicans should stick to their principles and not back down. thank you so much for coming on. republican senator ted cruz said this if republicans hold firm by pushing for a bill that undo president obama's executive order on immigration and democrats don't support such a bill the democrats will be blamed for the dhs shutdown. could this backfire for democrats? >> you know, i find that pretty hard to believe. there's a lot of factors that are going against republicans who don't want to pass a clean dhs funding bill on this. the republican leadership isn't really into it.

you mentioned those folks but actually mitch mcconnell, john boehner and kevin mccarthy the republican leadership isn't into this fight. the media is going to blame republicans. >> what else is new? >> exactly. i think they really do believe the republicans shut down government and president obama and democrats just don't. this is a republican issue and, of course, president obama has a bully pulpit and they're going to hammer this on this. i don't buy ted cruz's idea that if they can somehow fight this back that they'll win this. that's not to say that they shouldn't do this, the republicans, but they're just not going to win the short term -- >> i'm going to have to ask you to standby. we've got breaking news. we'll go to a news conference in minneapolis where a police officer was shot and one suspect was in custody the police department speaking live right now. let's listen -- >> andrew neil was arrested for probation violations. he was also arrested for probable cause burglary and probable cause aggravated domestic assault.

we are investigating a domestic assault case that mr. neil was arrested for in the shooting of one of our officers. the scene at 24th and fremont is now clear. and officers are continuing to investigate the shooting incident. i want to say that i've been at this call with these officers since 5:00 a.m. this morning. with me is inspector freesaven from the fourth precinct and commander fulkins from our special crimes investigation division, but also the supervisors and the officers from the night watch. i'll tell you that these officers did not want to go home. they've been on shift since 8:00 p.m. yesterday. and they are here and want to be here to make sure that we authorize are you

thoroughly investigate this case and look in to the incident and find the individual responsible for shooting our officer. i'm very proud of the officers that responded to the scene and how they and the investigators have handled the situation so far. it's clear to me that we all take this very seriously and so do the residents of minneapolis. >> we have time for a few questions. [ inaudible question ] we're investigating the link between our officer being shot and the arrest of andrew neil for domestic aggravated assault robbery -- correction burglary and the probation violation. >> it's still unclear if -- >> we're investigating the link between the two incidents. >> is he a suspect? >> we're not discussing his status at this time. [ inaudible question ] our investigators we've called a number of them to investigate this situation. the officer shooting. and those investigators are looking in to every aspect of

the case. >> is there anything more you can tell us about the burglaries domestic, is it just a boyfriend and girlfriend? >> the victim in this case is cooperating with us. she gave us a lot of information related to what occurred. and there's a link between the burglary and the domestic assault that occurred. [ inaudible question ] that's correct. >> was the officer in the car with them? >> the officer was not in his squad car when this happened. he was outside the squad car. >> how is the officer in how is his condition? >> we're happy to report the officer's doing well and he's in fair condition. >> can you tell us a little bit about the [ inaudible ]? >> one of the reasons i asked the watch officers who, again,

had been working overnight and responded to the scene to be here is because this means a lot to them obviously. to the supervisors that work in this precinct of our mpd staff as well as the citizens of minneapolis. it means a lot to hear those words. is it means a lot for them to be here today and to work the scene and the investigation to the fullest extent. [ inaudible question ] could you repeat the question, please? [ inaudible question ] the officer that we're not naming at this time is well known in the precinct working dog watch. he's well respected by the other officers he works with and does an excellent job of policing the northside neighborhoods and connecting with the community. >> we have time for two more

questions. >> are you searching for anybody else at this point? is there an active search going on right now? >> we've called in a number of investigators to look in to the shooting of our officer and they're following up on any leads that they have. [ inaudible question ] that's correct. we arrested mr. neil at 1119 logan avenue north. our s.w.a.t. team and a number of fourth precinct officers were used to surround the address and arrest mr. neil. >> can you elaborate on the chief's statement? >> the sussect? custody right now the name adam neil he was arrested and faces charges of shooting a police officer who thankfully survived. he and his partner were apparently wrapping up a burglary call when shots were fired. the wounded officer was rushed to a local hospital. we're getting confirmation now that officer thankfully is in fair condition and the investigation continues

surrounding what led to this shooting. the minneapolis mayor did say that the officers were clearly targeted in what he calls a, quote, cowardly act. we'll have much more on this police shooting in minneapolis as we get more information. and now back to my guest, michael warren. we were discussing the dhs deadline, an important deadline to talk about for this friday. we also were just talking about senator ted cruz saying that perhaps this could potentially backfire on democrats if they don't go forward and support a bill that might perhaps remove language from president obama's executive order on immigration. but i do want to be fair and baensed here and say that cruz made that same argument over the government shutdown over the federal budget a few years back if you remember and it actually backfired and voters held republicans responsible and a lot are saying this could be the case this time around. >> i think that's probably right. look republicans are almost always blamed for government shutdowns or things where the government's not funded.

that's, again, not to say that republicans who really think that this is an important issue to be focusing on that the republicans who think that president obama's executive order was unconstitutional, perhaps it's worth the short-term political fallout that comes from that. and i don't think that the republicans who are arguing on the other side that we should just, you know, pass this clean dhs bill are being -- are necessarily on the side of truth. even if they're right that republicans will lose short term. long term, a lot of people aren't really that excited or interested in legalizing millions of illegal immigrants and i think that in the long term looking at 2016 and elections afterward republicans might be better served from taking a stand on this and taking the political back/that comes from it. >> you don't have to be a political insider to know if republicans try to pass a bill trying to undo president obama's executive order on immigration the president will veto it and several republican congress members are saying it's time to

pass the clean bill. but the deadline is this friday, february 27th, that's just days away. the question now is what happens? should the republicans take out any reference to the president's immigration order to get dhs funded? >> i think what will end up happening is they will pass something clean or cleaner as i think members of congress have said. look, you could foresee a possibility where you've got congress passing something that just simply extends it for another week or two while they have this fight. if the republicans were actually united on this and made the case that, do you know what this is actually president obama who is refusing to pass something that would fund dhs except for this unconstitution ordal order, if republicans were united on that message there might be a different political fallout on that. but you are really seeing a divide in the republican congress on this and in the end you'll see a lot of republicans dragging kicking and screaming for a clean bill but i'll be watching closely what happens this week on capitol hill.

>> with the threat of isis growing by the day the department of homeland security needs funding now more than ever. if congress will allow other issues to overshadow this potential deadline, we could potentially putting ourselves at risk. at what point do we have to finally see republicans and democrats come together on an issue like this? perhaps put the immigration executive order on the back burner for now is that something that needs to be done? >> it's probably what's going to be the argument. we're going to hear over the next week. again, that's probably what will happen. but this is a lot of the argument that people were talking about last december. folks like jeff sessions in the senate who were saying, you know, we should have had -- we should have this fight over the immigration executive order back in december when during that lame duck session rather than pushing it to february because who knows what will happen. of course, events have changed and it's made it more difficult politically for republicans to hold up this funding. again, i really think that republicans will end up passing this. there's going to be a lot of angry votes in that house caucus

but i predict on friday we'll see the dhs clean bill pass. >> michael warren we'll have to wait and see, thank you very much. kelly? veterans struggling to find work after returning home. it's a big problem these days but now a new program helping them to find jobs here in new york city. vets drive yellow nyc connects taxi garages and veterans. garages affiliated with the program hiring dozens of heroes as taxi drivers. >> the vets drive yellow nyc program began a little over a month ago and it's already promised jobs to 50 veterans while the u.s. unemployment rate has improved from 6.6% to 5 upon 7% over the last year the unemployment rate for iraq and afghanistan veterans has stayed the same at 7.9%. u.s. army veteran peter lloyd is training to be a new york city cabdriver. usually a two- to three-month

process. lloyd is set to get his license in just two to three weeks. thanks to the program which has teamed up with the greater new york taxi association. since 2009, he's worked in security and as a delivery person. but he thinks driving is a lasting career. >> being able to follow instructions. being able to meet any task and adapt to any situation or challenge which can occur. >> lloyd served two tours in iraq as a human intelligence collector, born in russia. he's looking forward to interacting with different cultures and driving around his favorite city. the originators served in the military for 13 years and she said it's a win/win new york needs drivers and veterans don't have to sit at a desk and can work at their own pace. >> they are awesome people and they've sacrificed portions of

their lives to help the greater good and they are honest and hard working. if you're not going to feel safe with somebody that has given so selflessly, i don't know who to feel safe with. >> ralph diaz has several veteran dreeversivers in taxi school he hopes this will inspire others to open their doors to vets. >> it has to come out of the heart. it has to come out of the heart to help these people that have done so much for our country. >> new york taxi drivers can earn 1,500 bucks or more a week. the program is now hoping to expand to other city. kelly >> great story, thanks, brian. an insanity defense is at the center of the american sniper trial. with both the defense and the prosecution putting forth their experts. trying to sway the jury on defendant eddie ray routh's state of mind at the time of killing of chris kyle. our legal panel takes up this case next. >> the prosecutors are the ones that have to make it clear that

insane. you think they did that? >> i'd say no. i agree with the prosecution that there's no way that this man can say he didn't know what he was doing was wrong at the time. initially the experts said that he suffered from posttramatic stress disorder now they're saying he has schizophrenia. i can't believe, number one, his mother would ask, can you take my son to the range he's a former military personnel and he suffers from schizophrenia? that doesn't make sense right there. and i also know it's very difficult to prove insanity only 1% of cases use it and succeed, so i don't think he's going to be acquitted here. >> in addition i think the defense overplayed the insanity card. what i would have said i would have went with a defense of self-defense and mitigating circumstances. they didn't talk to me they called me crazy, mitigating i have mental illness and ptsd and i felt like they were going to

kill me if i didn't kill them first. insanity is very difficult to prove. >> wouldn't the prosecutors be able to punch holes in that argument anyway? so someone's not talking to you it doesn't mean you go out and kill them. >> but when you look at the mitigateing factor that i have mental illness, this bothers me. i feel like they're going to get me. >> i think that would lower the degree of the crime he's convicted of, but it would not, you know get him acquitted on all charges. >> here's one of the things paranoia schizophrenia and then you compound alcohol use and marijuana use with that. that might have given rise to the psychosis and to turn around and say these guys are against me. because if you already had that xn and then you react to something that someone does which may not be intentionally directed towards you and you open fire on them and kill them, shooting them repeatedly from behind and then say they were about to steal my soul, so i stole theirs. and then the text and the voice mails that he made something to the effect that it's going to

hain, rain happens and they drift away. he knew what he was doing apparently. it was in his mind. >> he even said at one point he thought about killing them in the car but he thought they may have an accident. the fact that he fled from police shows that he did something wrong. >> but if he said they might have an accident, it says he was worried about himself. >> if you look at the battle of the psychologists, right, the prosecution psychologists say, you know, he was aware what he was doing and then you look at his actions, chris kyle went downrange, too far to shoot him downrange i had to wait until they were together because i would have a better opportunity to kill them together. when a jury listens to that it will be hard to find that he suffered from severe mental defect and therefore he's not guilty by insanity. >> exactly. >> plus the jurors likely have been told by the prosecution that chris kyle chad littlefield, were there to help veteran. >> right. >> and people might say why did

you take them to a shooting range if you were trying to help them, they are accustomed to and target shooting there can be release from some of your problems. >> and i think the jurors will be sympathetic to the victims obviously they're deceased, but due to the fact they were doing something positive to try to help this man and he turn around and kills them, they are not going to have any sympathy for this defendant. >> chad littlefield served this country but chris kyle being known as the american sniper that wrote the book and is a popular movie, people know that. >> absolutely. i served in the military and the army for eight years myself and i'm outrage at routh's conduct and i think he's a coward for not admitting what he did. by now he knows he did something wrong and i don't think the insanity defense is going to play given his actions and the expert testimony. >> i agree. >> thank you, both and i served in the army too. richard and keisha, good to have you. >> thank you kelly. >> thank you. >> julie? all right, there could be a

light at the end of the tunnel in a high-profile very costly labor standoff. new details on the battles to get them back up and running. plus the defense secretary giving his assessment of the anticipated mosul offensive. are the iraqis up for the job and why our next guest says the u.s. government may have just given isis an advantage. i'll explain, next.

secretary of defense traveling to afghanistan in his first week on the job. the new pentagon leader meeting with troops and military officials and also speaking out on a planned offensive to retake mosul from isis. it's expected to take place in april or may with iraqi troops leading the way. the question now is whether the troops will be up to the fight. >> i think what's important is that the campaign to retake

mosul succeed and we're committed to that success and not to a particular timetable that makes sense. >> let's bring in our former cia analyst is a senior fellow with the center for security policy. let me ask you first, because i'm confused why the obama administration would tip off isis by announcing that there's going to be an offensive this spring to retake mosul. >> well, i'm with you on that, julie. it's good to be here. i agree with general jack keane and other experts who are not just concerned, not just concerned that we seem to have given away the date, but we've given away the game plan. but frankly even worse, than this revelation, is the possibility that this attack may not take place because either the troops aren't ready or the iraqi army's largely shiite troops will refuse to attack to liberate a sunni city. there are pentagon officials who

are saying in the background they don't think the army will be ready. we also are hearing that the kurdish army is not armed and is not prepared to attack mosul that it will only play a supporting role. >> that is a problem. i mean you're releasing information on the mosul attack. the timing of it spring. i mean, it's essentially saying to isis you've got a couple of months to prepare for a counterattack because iraqi troops won't be ready. and since we pulled out of iraq it has been clear that iraqi troops are just not properly armed. and they weren't properly armed before isis even came into the picture, so now what? >> well, that's right. and mosul fell because the iraqi army -- >> they ran. >> -- dropped their weapons and ran. that's right. and there's a concern that's going to happen again. but my concern here this whole conflict right now basically is a war of perceptions and it's a war of perceptions because western states are not prepared to send in troops to take on isis, so we have to beat isis where we can, with air strikes,

by strengthening the kurdish army, by strengthening the iraqi army, by doing everything we can while we come up with a strategy to wipe out isis in syria, but if we announce an attack and it's canceled because the troops aren't ready we will be handing isis a major public relations victory. >> according to u.s. officials there are up to 2,000 isis militants currently in mosul, so the question now is whether iraq boots are up to the fight or will the u.s. and/or perhaps other allied support need to get more deeply entrenched in the ground battle. that has been the debate ever since moving from iraq into syria, the ground battle being fielded in order to do this and not necessarily relying on iraqi and syrian troops to pull this off. >> well there's a about 2,000 troops in mosul we think right now, but there will be more isis troops in mosul once this attack begins and we also know that isis is taking steps to defend the city. they're digging trenches. they're setting booby traps and

ieds and whatever necessary to take the city back. on the other hand, there are only a couple thousand iraqi troops ready and a couple experts i spoke to they don't see how the 25,000 estimated needed to take the city back will be ready by the spring. >> iraqi troops ran away from mosul and isis at first and now 25,000 are expected to head back there. we know it's april or may. they'll try to retake the city and ash carter speaking out about the planned mosul iraq offense against isis and he said it will be iraqi-led and u.s.-supported mission. what does that mean? what capacity will the u.s. need to play in all of this? >> there's going to be military specialists backing up the iraqi troops. but the president will not send in ground troops to take back mosul. i think that's pretty clear. i don't think there's support in congress to do that. the problem with making this

statement right now, i'm sure some obama officials will say well, this is to try to psych them out. i'm afraid this revelation was made about the date of the attack because the president is under fire for not having a plan to combat isis. >> so it's a political move in your statement. >> to make this statement. it's clearly a political move. >> that is unfortunate, because we want to hear a clearer plan. and it seems at this point that we're sort of putting it in the power of those who don't have the power that the united states has. we'll have to wait and see. that's all the time we have. thank you very much fred, for joining us. >> thank you. for more on this be sure to check out, sunday morning futures," speaking with richard myers a former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. the west coast port dispute is over for now. but what happens if the agreement doesn't hold? we will take a look at all the possible fallout from that. and the dramatic video from

the shutdown didn't come cheap. economists are estimating it may have cost up to $14 billion. joining us to discuss is the founder of help save my dollars.com. so this is an initiative many people were saying why do we have this kind of dispute going on in the first place and who is it impacting most adversely? >> well it was a nine-month deliberation between both the dock workers and their employers. now, their past agreement which was six years, expired in july, so they have largely been negotiating since then. they finally got to some sort of agreement last night, but again, we have dozens of ships sitting at the port basically idle and the goods aren't making their ways to the stores. that's causing a backlog in the economy. >> particularly from valentine's day when they actually stopped them from coming in. it's impacting the economy, impacting the bottom line. how are we the american

taxpayer, going to be affected by this? >> look, gdp in the u.s., 12.5% of that is port activity. not a huge amount but certainly significant. then you factor in sort of the cold weather that is also impacting gdp and you have a significant threat to economic growth at least in the first and second quarters and keep in mind this is going to take months for that backlog to resume back to normal activity. so this is far from over. >> senator thune is weighing in on this. i will read a brief statement he put out. he basically says look, this dispute has to come to an end because it's going to cost billions of dollars and unnecessary harm to american businesses and consumers. so he wants this deal done. it has to get done. what's the impediment right now? >> right now it needs to be approved by various union -- >> 14,000? >> exactly 13,000 member union organization. they have a deal that was reached friday night but again, back in 2002 there was a similar

port dispute and that shutdown cost the economy $1 billion a day. if we get to that point where the ports are completely shut down, in today's dollars that could cost $2 billion a day. they really need to get the situation together out on the west coast because the other problem is the panama canal has been widened to handle more cargo so retailers may say we won't go through the west coast anymore. we may go through the panama canal. >> what does that mean for the american people? >> that's a huge loss for our economy, because especially in california 37% of their gross product is port activity. if we see less activity at the ports, that's going to hurt their economy and of course we want to keep the american ports at the same strength. >> you mentioned the panama canal. i keep thinking we gave it away. >> they have been working for years now to bolster the panama canal and allow it to handle more cargo and it seems as though those effects are starting to -- >> we need to get this act together and done very quickly so we don't adversely impact the

american people and businesses and agriculture. scott, you think it will work out for us, real quickly? >> we'll see. hopefully, it seems like a lot of progress has been made so far. >> we appreciate you joining us. thank you. heavy fighting shaking ukraine all week long despite a cease-fire agreement. an exclusive interview with ukraine's prime minister rightr the break. i will be back on the fox report tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern. hope to see you there. e dodge brothers quit the ford motor company and set out on their own. they believed in more, than the assembly line. they believed driving was a holy endeavor. a hundred years later, the dodge brothers spirit lives on.
