>> a monday in late february. >> last monday in late february. >> wow. thank goodness. >> february can't end soon enough. >> good to be with you. >> you, too. >> see you all later. "happening now" starts right now. make it a great monday. >> we begin with the largest mall on terror alert. jon: al-shabaab warns the mall of america could be the next target. more than 100,000 people shop at that mall in minnesota every day. the somali terror group calling for new wave of attacks on western shopping centers. it's the same group that claimed responsibility for an attack that left more than 60 dead at the west gate mall in kenya in 2013. doug is live at the mall of america in bloomington, minnesota right now.

what's going on? >> well, terrorists know that one of the most effective weapons they have is fear itself and if they can inject enough of that to keep people away from shopping malls keep people from shopping then they've won a small victory. they're keeping people like me camera crews, live trucks all equipment outside the mall to the staging area across the street in eight below zero weather. the mall opens for business at 10:00 a.m. local time which is right about now so we're going to have a chance to stroll over there without equipment to see what's going on. star tribune reported yesterday that all things were normal here. there are no diminution of crowds at all, no signs of stepped up security or at least overt stepped up security. that after the al qaeda affiliate somali terrorist group al-shabaab threatened attacks on the mall of america another shopping center in canada shopping centers in london

england and elsewhere. in a departure from the administration's typical downplaying of the terrorism threat, jay johnson warns shoppers at places like this to be vigilant. here he is. >> i would say that if anyone is planning to go to the mall of america today, they've got to be particularly careful. and as the statement you read indicates, there will be enhanced security there that will be apparent. >> in a joint statement, the mall, local and federal authorities said in part quote, at this time there is no credible threat associated with mall of america. we will continue to work together all levels to evaluate this and other information as it becomes available. the mall adds that there are enhanced security measures here. in fact the minneapolis star tribune reported and i'm quoting here in 2005 the mall started a special security unit whose officers look for unexplained nervousness, people photographing such things as air conditioning ducts or signs that

a shopper might have something to hide. adding to concern is that minneapolis is home to the largest somali immigrant group than any city in the united states. in recent years at least 22 somali americans have left the twin cities to go back to somalia to join al-shabaab. at least 15 have left minnesota to join up with isis. jon: i don't think al-shabaab knows the courage of the american people. jon: joining us is a former homeland security adviser for new york state. we don't want the terrorists to win but we also want to know in practical terms should we avoid the mall this week? what do you think? >> i think that that's exactly what we shouldn't be doing. we should go on with everything we're doing. just take a step back and think, so here's some guy across the world with a mask who suddenly says, we're looking at your malls. okay. there's no actual intelligence that says the plan.

there's never been any information there's a network of folks just waiting for some type of signal whether you're now going to come out and say we're going to attack this particular target. if you take a look at the attacks that have worked boston bombing, the paris and all the other attacks, they happened when no one knew they were coming. right now everybody knows that there is a comment on the net about the malls, particularly the mall in america. it might be the safest place to shop, the mall of america. >> that's not what we heard from the department of homeland security secretary jay johnson, who was speaking on cnn. he said we should be careful. why do you think he said that? >> everything i've heard about secretary johnson, he's very capable, very good guy and good for the position but i think he's made a mistake. i think that the department of homeland security should be the adult in the room. they're the folks that you can texturize, while drawing resources to the front line security and police forces like the l.a. police and that's not

what he did. scaring us because of some threat by a masked guy. jenna: does he know something we don't? >> then why would you have the mall open if there was a specific target? and it never happens like that. you never have intelligence at that perfect -- you know, stand on this corner at this time of day. that's when the attack is going to happen. that never happens. jenna: let's talk about a bigger picture. he said that minnesota has the largest somali population of anywhere in the united states. and we heard from a former f.b.i. official about people that come in and out of our country and here's what he had to say over the weekend. >> the f.b.i. is a huge job in front of them. and you know you look at the mall of america. you look at all the malls and then you start to backtrack and say, you know it would be nice if you knew who comes and goes into the country. we don't have a clue.

jenna: bigger picture. what about that? >> intelligence officials have been watching many communities for almost a decade now because of the somali population because people are going back and forth to somalia to fight. it's the same challenge we face with isis when you have folks going over there, learning the skills, the battle skills and coming back to this nation so it's not just like someone sitting on the couch suddenly deciding to get involved in jihad. it's folks who are training and now come back and try to get weapons and that's the real threat from the back and forth. jenna: i would like to draw on your work as a dad because you're also a father here and for any of us who have families we certainly want to keep them safe. in light of threats while what you're saying practically makes sense, it's still enough to make you nervous with al-shabaab, all of these threats. what do you do? when you're walking into a mall or movie theater, how do you approach that very public environment but also make sure you're aware whof is around you?

>> i'm always telling my children the cell phone, they get totally engaged with and it's not just if someone could rob them or have a problem with a terrorist or something, they could get hit by a car. just be aware of what's going on around you. that's a great life tip, not just a result of what terrorist threats might be out there but here's the thing we also have to understand. we cannot react to these kind of threats all the time because otherwise, what if tomorrow some other lunatic says, watch your care when you drop them off to daycare. nobody is going to take kids to daycare? put this in the context, reassure us but then make sure the folks on the front lines have the resources to do their job. jenna: good advice for us today as we take in the news. great to see you. jon? jon: focussing on the republican

governors meeting in washington and what some potential candidates are saying about foreign policy. carl cameron is live in d.c. for us. >> hi, jon. president obama is going to a address the national governors convention later today and 31 republican governors who make up the majority of the group have a lot of domestic complaints but those positioning for 2016 really are focussing mostly on foreign policy and a whole host of different complaints. scott walker was there and others this weekend for the conference. pence was a guest on fox news sunday and slammed the president. >> american people are understandably trust rated with a president who lectures us on the crusades but is unwilling to call islamic extremism by name. part of leadership, i truly believe, is not only identifying the objective but in matters of

war, it's about identifying the enemy. >> louisiana governor said quote, one of the defining military challenges of our time is the spread of radical islamic terrorism and president obama has talked about lecturing the american people than on devising a plan to hunt down and kill the extremists. scott walker, with that comes lots of questions from the press. asked if obama is a christian, walker this weekend said he didn't know. pundits immediately put him under the microscope and it shows he'll get a lot of questions and needs to be prepared for them. chris christie has kept a low profile and ohio governor, the other sitting governor considering a 2016 presidential run didn't come to the conference. there are three former governors, bush, perry and huckabee eyeing 2016 too. there are eight current and former governors looking at this. that's the biggest number of potential presidential

candidates who are currently executives or were of states for decades. jon: very crowded dance card. thanks very much. jenna: now moving to texas, murder trial of the man accused of murdering navy seal chris kyle and his friend cancelled today due to bad weather. eddie ray routh is accused of killing kyle and littlefield in 2013. trial is expected to return home. we have more on what to expect this week. casey? >> we have an unexpected snow day, some ice moved through north texas overnight and that's why court is cancelled but we hope things will resume tomorrow. the prosecution has been working on rebuttal witnesses. that's where we left off on friday. they called up two doctors, both are mental health care experts and both specialize in forensics. in other words, criminal cases. their job was to try to punch holes in the defense witnesses' testimony that routh was a paranoid skrits fren i can and he was seeing and hearing things

in the weeks leading up to the murders. on friday the prosecution finished up with a psychiatrist who toll the court he does not blef the 27-year-old former marine was suffering from any kind of mental illness or that he had ptsd. the doctor thinks the behavior was prompted by drug and alcohol use. remember, eddie ray routh admitted to smoking marijuana and drinking whiskey with his coffee before going to the gun range on that day in february. now, we understand the prosecution has at least one more rebuttal witness to get through and then after that we expect closing arguments. opening statements lasted just about an hour or so. each side took roughly 30 minutes so if the attorneys stick with their schedule that means we could perhaps expect closings tomorrow. then the jury will get its instructions which should go fairly quickly because there's only one charge to consider. that is capital murder and then

the deliberations will begin in the courthouse behind me. jenna: casey thank you. jon: a man charged with murder heads to trial. how prosecutors say he lured a 15-year-old girl to her death coming up. plus the keystone xl pipeline expected to get a presidential veto this week. it could be the first of many. bret baier joins us on the showdowns ahead between the white house and capital hill. also we want to hear from you. have the media done a good job covering the crisis in ukraine? senator mccain has strong thoughts about that. get your thoughts into the conversation. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome;

granddaughter run until she collapsed and her granddaughter later died. she faces capital murder charges. prosecutors claim it was a punishment for lying about candy. defense attorneys say the girl died from other medical problems. it's a case we'll be watching here. opening statements expected today in the murder trial of a 21-year-old man accused of using a facebook post to lure a teen to her death. he killed 15-year-old nicole in may of 2013. and one person is dead and another injured after shots were fired at a security company this morning in south new jersey. police say the shooting is being investigated as an apparent murder-suicide. jon: lawmakers are getting ready for what could be a showdown this week on capitol hill after returning from the 10-day recess. congress must renew at least temporary funding for the

department of homeland security which expires on friday. but some republicans are holding out in an effort to block president obama's executive action on immigration. joining us is bret baier, the anchor of "special report" here on fox news channel. here we go again. i thought we had this dealt with in the last budget. they extended funding for the department of homeland security until the end of february. here it is the end of february and nobody seems to know what to do. what are the options here? >> remember jon, and go ahead -- good morning. they started with funding of department of security through september but the funding specifically for the immigration actions taken by the president was removed and that bill was sent over to the senate. well, senate democrats said this is a non starter for us. we are not doing that. so that's where the battle happened. right now that bill is still stalled in the senate and as you said funding ends at the end of this week for homeland security. it's important to note that even

if funding lapses that 80% to 85% of d.h.s. employees show up for work. it's just they don't get paid at that time even though they're deemed essential. they get back pay once it's all figured out. the key thing here is this federal judge ruling saying that the immigration actions, the executive actions of the president should not go forward at this time may provide an off ramp for lawmakers to say let's fund it for the short-term, see what happens legally. jon: there has been a court ruling from the judge in texas who said that the president's actions that have upset so many republicans, especially in congress, those actions according to the judge are not constitutional. that is yet to be decided. >> exactly and the administration says they're going to challenge that and push for a federal court in the fifth circuit to stop that order that just came out from the federal judge in texas. in other words, let them go forward with the executive

actions. that has to play out legally but on capitol hill behind me they're going to have to either fund or not fund this week. jon: some interesting dynamics on this question of the aumf authorization to use military force. the president wants new lake wage, new authorization to take on isis but there are all kinds of questions, some republicans think the president isn't going far enough when he asks for a three-year authorization. some democrats -- well and some party lines get blurred, really on what people want here. big questions, thorny questions ahead. >> and how it's phrased is obviously very important. the way they put up the proposal puts handcuffs essentially on the president. the president's own request for authorization on the use of military force against isis handcuffs the executive branch. and republicans say that is not necessary and shouldn't happen. democrats are concerned about a never ending war but many of

them don't like this three-year time frame that the administration has set so the signals sent from the administration are that there will be flexibility here on the phrasing and that there may have to be some kind of u.s. troops on the ground even if it's special operations troops working with indigenous forces in iraq and syria. jon: and congress is sending the keystone pipeline bill over to the president's desk and he shows every sign of being willing to veto it. >> yeah. it's definitely headed for a veto should it go there. it's expected to. remember that this is -- this president has not had a lot of vetoes because in essence, as a senate majority leader harry reid was ice hockey goal for legislation goalie presenting the pucks from getting past the democratic controlled senate. now you'll see more bills get to the president's desk and he'll likely have to issue vetoes but remember also that the

republicans only hold 54 seats. they need 60 to get a lot of this legislation through and some of that is just not going to happen. jon: interesting to see what the public reaction will be assuming the president does go ahead with that veto threat on keystone. thank you for joining us this morning. jenna: several university students fighting for their lives. 11 young people hospitalized in what may have been a drug overdose. the drug police think they may have all taken together. and the stars were out in force last night for hollywood's biggest night of the year. who went home with gold and who got snubbed at the 87th academy awards? photos are great for capturing your world. and now they can transform it. with the new angie's list app, you can get projects done in a snap. take a photo of your project or just tell us what you need done and angie's list will find a top rated provider to do the job. the angie's list app is the simple, new way to get work done on your schedule. the app makes it easy,

"birdman" took the most statues home with the big winner of the night, the comedy starring michael keaton won four oscars including best picture and best director. big office movie of the your "american sniper" was shut out. clint eastwood's movie more than all of the other nominated movies combined it won for soundeditying but that's it. bradley cooper who played chris

sniper, lost the best actor award to eddie redmayne before the awards his wife took the red carpet and took the time to express how -- what her husband would have thought. >> he would be very, very impressed for couples healing with this movie and opening a dialogue. something he would have been proud of. >> it wouldn't be the oscars without a little controversy. patricia arquette who won the best supporting actress for "boyhood" called for wage equality and equal rights for women, a speech that had meryl streep and jennifer lopez cheering from the audience. legends performed "glory" from the movie "selma" and lady gaga had a beautiful rendition of "the hills are alive" from the sound of music getting high prize a twitter all morning

long. some people overall said it was a long and boring oscars. others said they simply could not get enough of hollywood's biggest night. jenna: will thank you very much. >> you bet. jon: told you earlier a bit about what is on the president's plate this week with congress back in session. he also has the national governors association in town. he's speaking to our nation's governors right now at the white house. let's listen in for a moment. >> what voicechoices do we make together to make sure that's sustained? i've talked about before and i want to emphasize again during our conversations the belief that middle class economics is what works. the idea that not only do -- jon: if you would like to hear what the president has to say to chief executives of our nation's 50 states most of whom are in attendance, we'll have the entire remarks for you streaming live right now on fox news.com.

jenna: right now a quick look at what's happening this hour of "happening now." new attacks rocking ukraine despite the cease fever, and with thousands of people killed since the bloodshed began nearly a year ago, how have is the media been covering the crisis? also new at home details on the shooting that killed a las vegas mother of four what we're learning about the case. plus millions of americans locked in a deep freeze with bitter cold temps on the move across the country. jon? >> i'm ashamed of my country, i'm ashamed of my president and i'm ashamed of myself that i haven't done more to help these people. it is really really heartbreaking. jon: very strong words there from senator john mccain on the crisis this ukraine. what about the media though? have the networks done enough to cover what's going on there? joining us now, alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show, and tammy bruce, radio talk show

host and fox news contributor. thanks for coming in today. you know, it was just over a year ago that the ukrainian people threw off their government a pro-western government that they didn't like. they wanted to turn the direction of their country toward europe, they wanted more democracy, more freedom, and what do they yet? they get basically overrun by the russians crimea taken away from them. the united states hasn't done a whole lot. i mean, does john mccain have a point? allan, let's start with you. >> no. in that i think -- look i believe george washington in his farewell address, we stay out of foreign wars. every time we start arming armies in other parts of the world, it comes back to haunt us. this is not our fight. i'm a non-interventionist. not a pacifist. i think it always winds up to hurt us every time we get involved in wars that are not of our making or are not a threat to the united states. jon: tammiesome.

>> there's a lot of agreement in the first half of the 20th century with alan, and we see how that worked out. not pass nist, just noninterventionist policy, it leads to world war i and world war ii. so ultimately, these things do come over like a cancer. you can ignore it, and it will metastasize. beyond that, i think when it comes to how the american people respond, media does have a responsibility here. and even -- i agree with john mccain. not with the country. it's not the country's fault, it's about the 600 people in washington, d.c. who just have chosen to do nothing. and i think in part because they're so reliant on media and how they view the world. they're in that little bubble, and they go on television, and they watch television, they watch polls, and i think that now we're at a point where even washington doesn't know how to react if the network newscasts don't tell them what to do. >> do we want a proxy war with russia with the former soviet union? i don't think so. it really becomes a proxy war

whether we're arming one side or the other. we're basically asking for war. jon: they're asking for munitions. >> arming a group of people in a war means we are now taking a side in a war. we're at war with russia -- >> reporter: but then this is the passive-aggressive dynamic. by not arming them we're allowing russia to have its way with ukraine. and then nato has the issue as well. if putin is going to do that with ukraine there's nothing that's going to stop women for the baltic states -- stop him for the ballottic states. jon: the pro-russian rebels who may very well be russian soldiers in civilian clothes shoot down a civilian jetliner kill hundreds of people, and there's been very little condemnation -- >> that's a media issue. you're right in the fact that the media has not really covered this to the extent that it should. putin went into crimea because of a seaport that's why he went. he wanted access to the sea. whether he's going to go beyond that seems doubtful.

for us to take a side is dangerous. jon: i'd like to have mexico's oil reserves. >> are you advocating -- jon: i'm just saying because -- >> george washington was very correct when he said we should avoid foreign entanglements. we're arming people in syria, we're fighting on the side of assad because of the arming in syria. >> you know what this comes down to? somebody has to make a decision. barack obama has voted present for the last six years on foreign policy, and it's not -- >> what are you talking about? >> it's not just ukraine. it's syria it's libya, it's pulling out where we were. so this is a result -- it's not just one place, but it's overall policy. and mccain is right. he should be ashamed, because he's been in in for 30 years. they've also done nothing. how dare he blame the country or be ashamed of the country. >> how can you say obama's voted present? we went into libya, a surge in afghanistan, a surge in iraq -- >> i vaguely remember we -- [inaudible] >> we're arming the rebels in syria, so we're involved.

we're involved in syria. jon: do you think vladimir putin in his calculus says to himself, well, the american people won't care that much, and the american networks won't care that much, so i can get away with this? >> i think they've noticed and this is another two years is going to get even more intense. there's a realization that barack obama won't do anything and even now with the republican senate if there is going to be this inability or fear to act they are going to have two free years to do what they want. yes, it's been telegraphed from obama that we haven't even bothered to stop isis -- >> that's not true. we're stopping them in northern iraq. >> it means you will have this from people like well, it's china, it's certainly russia, it's -- can egypt is doing what it wants to do, saudi arabia's making some noise. when you telegraph that you would rather be golfing -- >> oh, that's ridiculous. we're actually bombing iraq we're pushing isis back. i don't even want to be there but we are. >> really? we're pushing isis back? from what?

>> it's a successful campaign. we've had 200 bombing issues in iraq. to say he's doing nothing -- >> here's what we've done. jordan killed 7,000 isis savages. we touted the next week that we got five and maybe a few trucks. >> you want to go into jordan now too? should we invade jordan? >> obviously i think jordan is doing a fabulous job. the difference is what you can do when you really want to, and that's what jordan has shown us. jon: all right. >> use of military force -- >> this is where media needs to go in there and be asking these questions, highlighting these issues and showing what the difference can be. >> that i agree with more media coverage would be good. >> yes. jon: and, you know, making the point as to precisely what american interests are in that part of the world. >> yes exactly. jon: tammy bruce, alan colmes, thank you both. jenna: why las vegas investigators say the term "road rage" may not even apply to this anymore. we'll explain that. also "american sniper," the

movie, grossing hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but the academy didn't reward it last night. why? is there a double standard in hollywood? we take a look next.

jenna: and let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. >> happy monday. an al-qaeda affiliate has threatened a shopping mall in the united states heartland as the administration is doubling down now on refusing the use the term "radical islam." critics say we cannot defeat an enemy we will not name. are they right? >> plus, what made senator john mccain say that he's ashamed -- did you hear this, harris? -- ashamed of his country, this president and himself? >> we'll talk about it. >> wow. >> and if you thought "american sniper's" success meant hollywood was getting less liberal, you didn't see the oscars last night. >> oh, boy, i did. what a waste. all that and our #oneluckyguy it's one of our favorites. get ready. >> or stay ready so you don't

have to get ready. [laughter] >> that's assuming they're not ready watching jenna which we know they are. jenna: l ladies, see you in a little bit. jon: a road rage killing in las vegas gets more complicated as the suspect is arraigned today. he says he was not involved in the deadly shooting despite police reports that he bragged to friends about killing someone. investigators say it all started when tammy meyers got into a confrontation with someone driving a silver car. she then picked up her son and went looking for the driver of that other car. her son says when they found the car, someone shot at them, and they sped home. the car followed them, and someone shot and killed his mother. police believe the suspect felt he was being threatened out on the road, and things spiraled out of control after that. we will continue to follow this developing and sometimes confusing story. we'll certainly bring you the very latest. jenna: well, some new efforts to protect your financial future, perhaps. the obama administration calling

for tighter rules on those who handle retirement accounts. joining us now from our sister network, fox business network's cheryl casone. what do we know about who's managing our money? >> it's interesting because this then a long-awaited proposal coming in today. basically, what they want to do is anyone that is, quote-unquote, a broker that is able to sell you a stock, a bond an annuity, anything with regards to your retirement account, that they shoulded be more strictly regulated. here's the thing, most of these advisers work for major banks and the administration has said nothing over the last five to six years though but administer regulation to bankings. -- add more regulation to banks. this financial adviser role, sort of the top ten job growth industries that we're seeing really boom in 2015. sure enough, the minute you start to see jobs being created somewhere, especially for our veterans many of whom are in these trading programs the big

banks offer, sure enough when you have success and hiring here comes regulations. so it's going to affect financial advisers. obviously, understand what you're buying. you should always know what is being offered to you on the table. if you don't understand i want, don't put your money into it ever -- jenna: are some of the potential regulations, cheryl, helpful for consumers, meaning is there any sort of potential conflict of interest that brokers might have that these regulations would take care of, or is it better to do without the regulations in general and self-monitor, if you will? can you just talk to us a little bit about that? >> well, see what happens is when you sit down with one of these financial advisers, there is a lot of paperwork and you've really got to look through it carefully. yes, can there be conflict of interest, i'm going to throw out a bank, morgan stanley, say an adviser wants to sell you a morgan stanley-advised fund, for instance. is he only offering morgan stanley because the name's on the the bank, and that's just an example. that's where you kind of need to

ask yourself okay, are there better options out there? that's the question you have to ask the financial adviser. i will say again that because the regulations that we've had since the financial crisis on the banks, a lot of that regulation is in place so my concern with this new proposal -- and this is going to be open for public comment, by the way for several months. this isn't just happening today. it's going to be debated whether or not there's already that regulation in place and whether this is just another layer of paperwork that's going to, frankly, slow down business and maybe administer fees to what you're -- add more fees to what you're buying. jenna: it's a good reminder to check in with those and see what they're up to especially at the beginning of the year as we are. let me ask you about what's going on at the oscars. even last night there was a joke by the host of the oscars saying "american sniper" took in half of what all the best picture nominees earned together up until that date. "american sniper" was a huge,

huge moneymaker, still is, and yet it did get -- there was a little bit of a snub at the oscars. can you talk us through that cheryl? if you're publicly successful and successful with the consumer does that mean it doesn't translate to the academy awards? is there a double standard of any sort? >> absolutely. and if you look at the last four decades, you can find that. there's very few forest gumps or ets or titanics that were big oscar winners and also big moneymakers. in fact, it's only about one-third of the time will you see a winner actually be a big moneymaker. this is the disconnect between liberal hollywood and, frankly, what americans want to go see. they went to go see "american sniper or," they loved it. but remember the academy is oscar voters, it's their peers, it's other actors, directors the hollywood elite that are saying, well you out there in america you may want to see "american sniper" but, oh, yeah clint eastwood, we don't like him so much. and they also made a very big

point by only giving them an editing award. bradley cooper, the movie was really snubbed surprisingly when it's somebody like clint eastwood who is so respected in hollywood, but politics always plays a factor. jenna: we're still talking about birdman, trying to figure out exactly what happened in that movie. it's been a couple weeks now that we've been talking about it. [laughter] we were looking at, you know, we were looking over the course of time, cheryl and if you've taken either some of the movies that didn't make a lot of money in the box office like "hurt locker," for example it only made $17 million. but it did win a lot of oscars. perhaps it doesn't apply every year. >> and there was another political story to that, and that was a hollywood political story in that was a female director, and that a year there was a lot of calls to see a female director finally win, especially since it was a war movie. "american sniper" already is the highest grossing war movie ever in the history of hollywood and

cinema. that can't be denied. unfortunately, the voters -- the ones that put their ballots in this year in this political firestorm -- clint eastwood became a victim, frankly, of politics. it's something every year, isn't it? jenna: well, a lot of people don't remember the academy awards but you do remember a really good movie, so perhaps at the end of the day that's who wins. cheryl, thank you so much. big stories for us. cheryl casone on the fox business network. if you're not sure where to find it, go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. jon: some new information in the investigation after a young woman disappears during a night out without a trace. the major discovery that could help solve a mystery still ahead. and it is dangerously cold outside all across the country so how long are we going to be feeling the freezing temperatures? we have the full forecast coming up. ♪ ♪ your eyes really are unique. in fact,

temperatures. our meteorologist maria molina joins us from the fox extreme weather center. we did leave out the west coast. are they doing okay maria? it's just everybody else. >> i think right along the west coast temperatures have been great throughout most of the winter. they've been seeing temperatures well above average, some areas have even set records throughout the winter in terms of how warm it's within. but for the -- it's been. but for the eastern half of the nation with this last arctic outbreak we are looking at temperatures well below average and across parts of the superior northeast and into new england, you're talking dangerous cold. that's why we do have several wind chill warnings and advisories in effect out here because those numbers are going to be below zero to the point where you're looking at the risk of hypothermia or even frostbite if your not bundled occupy -- if you're not bundled up. as we head across places like minneapolis and chicago, below zero and even down across parts of new mexico, you're below zero. so this is a very widespread arctic outbreak across the

nation impacting the rockies and portions of new england, and it's not going to be changing a whole lot. this is the forecast for tuesday morning. your forecast low temperatures, you can see they're forecast to be well below average for many of you. that continues wednesday morning, thursday morning and also into friday morning. and the other big story jenna of course is the winter weather across parts of the south and into the rockies. heavy stuff across the rockies, potentially more than a foot of snow and not a whole lot out here across the plains, but enough to cause issues with snow freezing rain and sleet. jenna: maria, thank you. >> thanks. jon: some brand new stories we're working to bring you in the next hour of "happening now." hillary clinton and the inevitability factor in the 2016 democratic race for the white house. what's the difference between now and what happened to her in 2008? plus, a mystery unfolding off the california coast where young sea lions are dying off for the third consecutive winter. what in the world is causing it?
