8:00 am
incredibly, she got up finished the song. when a dancer tried to remove the cape, you can see her trying to pull the swings, she tweeted that she was fine, the cape was tied too tight x she is okay. can we just focus on the positive? all the thing she's done on stage and has not fallen down, the one time she does -- bill: she sounded great when she got up by the way. "happening now" starts right now. gotta go, bye-bye. jenna: fox news alert, hello everybody, hope you're off to a great day i'm jenna lee. jon: and i'm jon scott, the director of national intelligence telling a senate hearing that home grown terrorists pose the greatest threat. in his first public testimony since the beheading of american hostages by isis as we learn the identity of the masked terrorists seen in those videos and we get new details about the terror arrests of three new york residents charged in a plot to try to kill the president. team fox coverage, david lee miller following the terror bust on our homeland, but we start
8:01 am
with chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge with the latest on the man they call jihadi john and the isis hearings. catherine, what are we learning? >> reporter: well, thank you jon, and good morning. separately, the nation's most senior intelligence official james clapper, has been testifying this morning. the 2014 is on track to be the worst on record for terrorism with isis responsible for the lion's share. >> in my 50-plus years in the intelligence business, i don't know of a time that has been more beset by challenges and crises around the world. i worry a lot about the safety and security of this country. >> reporter: clapper is testifying this morning before senate lawmakers alongside the head of the defense intelligence agency, general stewart. you see that hearing is continuing at this hour, and so far there are statements that the threat is worse now than at any time in recent history
8:02 am
sharply conflicting with the statements of secretary of state john kerry who has now said americans are safer and the threat has been diminished. the fbi director separately has said he is running home grown terror investigations in every corner of the country and dni clapper also confirmed that this morning. >> now have some form of investigation on home grown violent extremists not necessarily direct sympathizers or supporters of isil, but in all 50 of our states. >> reporter: separately the public identification of the isis executioner, jihad john, will allow investigators to more freely explore his network of contacts inside the u.k. and how radicalization process unfolded because his real name is mohamed emwazi and he grew up in west london, he is educated and from a well-to-do background. these facts, of course conflict with the stereotype that isis recruits are poor and lack
8:03 am
opportunity. the national security council staff at the white house have offered no confirmation on that identification, jon. jon: all right. catherine herridge joining us from washington, thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. jenna: one of our big headlines of course. we also have more fox news team coverage, the feds busting one suspect at jfk airport just as he planned to board a plane to join isis. david lee miller's live in our new york city newsroom. those are the allegations david lee, what do we know? >> reporter: according to court papers two of the men wanted to join isis in syria the third helped bankroll the operation. all are from former soviet republics, but most recently they called brooklyn, new york home. one was in the u.s. illegally with an expired visa. the investigation began six months ago when one of the defendants from uzbekistan allegedly posted a threat on the internet saying he wanted to shoot president obama. authorities used a paid confidential informant and electronic surveillance to keep
8:04 am
tabs on the three. in one recorded conversation the 19-year-old defendant from kazahkstan told the defendant if unable to travel to syria, quote, i will just go out and buy a machine gun, ak-47, go out and shoot all police. later in the conversation he says quoting again: it is legal in america to to carry a gun. we will go and purchase one handgun, then go and shoot one police officer. boom. then we will take his gun bullets and bulletproof vest, then we will do the same with a couple of others. then we will go to the fbi headquarters, kill the fbi people. his defense attorney speaking with reporters outside the courthouse in brook lin questioned the reliability -- brooklyn questioned the reliability and said the government needs to explore why some muslim men are attracted to extremism. >> if these allegations are true -- and they're just allegations -- they really make us question the approach of the federal government to young
8:05 am
muslim men in america. they are very ham-fisted tactics, there's no attempt to intervene, to speak to explore, to understand. >> reporter: prosecutors say the two men who were planning to travel to syria confessed after they were arrested. all three face 15 years in prison if convicted of attempting and conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization. jenna? jenna: certainly a story to continue to watch. david lee, thank you very much for that. the director of the fbi making it clear that terror suspects like the ones just nabbed are in every state not just new york, not just new york city, but every state across this country. a guest we're going to talk to a little later in this program says the real problem is not when they go to join isis but when they stay right here. we'll have more coming up on "happening now." jon a lot of very big concerns in this country right now. conservative activists are
8:06 am
getting their first chance to pop the hood and kick the tires on potential 2016 presidential candidates on the gop side. this at the annual conservative political action conference. carl cameron wouldn't miss it he is lye with the latest. >> reporter: hi, jon. this is a cattle call for the 2016 presidential candidates. there have been a number that have taken place out in iowa new hampshire and south carolina, this is where conservatives from all over the country come to see it. it amounts to a very big test for former florida governor jeb bush rather than give a speech as candidates have done for the decades has asked for him to take questions, so he'll do a round table and a q&a with none other than sean hannity. there are a lot of conservatives who think he's been out of politics for a number of years, that he comes from the bush family, not as truly
8:07 am
conservative as they would like, so how bush handles himself today will be a big measure of how he'll fare in the early voting states. scott walker has had a rough time in the press for punting on a question and for hedging on a couple of others. he's getting star power attention, and he's leading the polls in iowa and across the country. and as a consequence all of the other rival candidates and their teams are looking at ways to take down scott walker. so how he performs here will be incredibly important as it will be for new jersey governor chris christie who's just having problems in his own home state with pensions and dealing with his budget, there have been some investigations about him and an awful lot of conservatives have an almost inherent skepticism about a governor on the east coast, so mr. christie will have to overcome his critics for just being the governor of new jersey. ben carson kicked everything off here today the famous neurosurgeon former neurosurgeon has a couple of draft movements pushing for him says he hasn't made a decision, and he suggested democrats and liberals in general have accused
8:08 am
him falsely of trying to do away with social services that he benefited from, and he said one of the things that has to happen is that the quote purveyors of division need to knock it off and republicans he said, need to move in a different direction. listen to ben carson criticizing the ideological left. >> i'm not interested in getting rid of a safety net, i'm interested in getting rid of dependency. and i want us to find a way -- [applause] to allow people to excel in our society. and as many and more people hear that message they will recognize who is truly on their side and who is trying to keep them suppressed and cultivate their votes. >> reporter: there will be a straw poll at the end of this convention. virtually every one of the potential republican presidential candidates will be here with the exception of former arkansas governor mike huckabee. he had a scheduling conflict he's actually campaigning in south carolina over the next couple days and took a pass. he is a very strong contender in
8:09 am
iowa as well so he may think he can get away with not attending this convention. there is another within going on in west palm beach, florida and there will be six candidates shuttling back and forth to this country over the next couple of days. jon: challenge to keep those calendars straight, isn't it, carl? >> reporter: you bet. jon: thanks, carl. jenna: new troubles for a potential democratic presidential candidate, hillary clinton, after her family foundation accepted millions of dollars from foreign governments while she was secretary of state. this in violation of an agreement she made with white house. a big report out today on this. kevin is live in washington with more glurchlt good morning, jenna, that has a lot of democrats worried because it's the very appearance of impropriety that could obviously taint any potential presidential candidacy for hillary clinton to say nothing by the way, of a clear ethics violation in an agreement with the administration for accepting a half million dollars from the
8:10 am
algerian government back in 2010. here's a look at just some of the nations that gave big money to the clinton foundation while she was serving as the nation's top diplomat. and you have to admit as you look at these countries some of them obviously, have complicated relationships with the u.s. among them, kuwait, qatar, oman, norway and the dominican republic. questions are being raised today about whether or not foreign governments were giving cash to buy influence. in washington we call it pay for play. and, again as mentioned, that donation from the algerian government did violate ethics rules with the administration about which the clinton foundation released a statement saying in part: this donation was disclosed publicly on our web site. however, the state department should have also been formally informed. this was a one-time specific donation to help haiti. algeria, that is, had not donated to the clinton foundation before and has not since. i want to give you one more number to consider this morning, jenna. since 2001 the clinton foundation has raised some $2
8:11 am
billion of those giving more than a million dollars since that time, you guessed it a third of them are foreign individuals and governments something that will get a lot of scrutiny in the days and months to come. jenna: a story that continues to develop. kevin, thank you. >> reporter: you bet. jon: the latest on the showdown on capitol hill. funding for the department of homeland security set to run out just hours from now. republican leaders are facing backlash from conservatives. we will talk with karl rove about all this. plus, with new problems for obamacare and a looming supreme court decision, health care hs secretary sylvia burwell is being grilled by lawmakers. also how one robbery suspect in texas made law enforcement's job a whole lot easier. >> kind of funny, he came in, passed this note and then went and sat down with his back to teller. >> where with his back to teller? >> yes.
8:12 am
oh i'm on the cookie air diet. you just... and that's it. i prefer real food fruit, nuts, and whole grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. more processed flakes look nothing like natural grains. let's get real.
8:13 am
8:14 am
ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms? i sure hope so. with healthcare costs, who knows. umm... everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor.... can get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today.
8:15 am
jenna: right now some crime stories we're following for you on "happening now." a jury in new york will hear closing arguments today in the case of 27-year-old lacey conspiracy who's charged -- spears who's charged with murdering her 5-year-old son for feeding him salt while he was hospitalized. and the jury for jodi arias now deciding whether she will be sentenced to death or life in prison. to a bizarre texas bank robbery, an employee providing a description of the suspect and informing the police that this guy was still in the lobby of the bank. so when police arrived, they found the suspect just sitting there holding the money. straight right? -- strange, right? we'll continue to follow that story. jon: the health and human services secretary now on the hot seat on capitol hill. sylvia burwell facing questions from a house committee over several obamacare issues from erroneous tax forms being mailed
8:16 am
out to a looming supreme court decision that could undo obamacare. let's bring in karl rove former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush, also a fox news contributor. responding to questions from senator hatch she admits that if the supreme court invalidates obamacare -- invalidates the legality of those state exchanges -- there is no plan to control the chaos that would result. what do you think about that just from a standpoint of governance karl? >> well, i think it's two things. first of all, i think it is a direct message to the courts that if you hold that the law as written is the law as written that is to say that states that don't establish their own subsidy -- their own exchanges cannot have people in those states receive these generous subsidies for insurance, 36 states did not establish exchanges, people in those
8:17 am
states you should the black letter law of the statute -- under the black letter law of the statute would not receive subsidies, what she's saying to the courts is if that happens, it's going to be a huge mess, and it will be on your hands, not our hands. it's an attempt to sort of brush pack the courts. the second thing is assumes the courts -- assuming the courts do hold that what the law says is what the law says, this is going to be the first step by the administration to basically say okay congress a republican congress it's your job to solve the mistake, and if you don't solve it, all those people that lose their generous subsidies have nobody to blame but you. jon: they're simply saying we're not going to make any plans to contain the mess and therefore, if you rule that it should be invalidated, you do it at your own peril? >> that's correct. and the republicans understand in congress what this means so
8:18 am
i doubt that if the court holds that the statute reads as the statute reads -- which i think it will therefore, there are not sub she itys available in these 36 states -- i'm pretty confident there will be between senator hatch in the senate and the committee chairs in the house ways and means and energy and commerce that they will have a solution or several solutions, in fact there's a robust debate going on right now as to what that ought to be, but they'll have a solution which will begin to undo obamacare and push our health care system in a much more market-oriented, fiscally-responsible direction. jon: we're coming up on the deadline for funding the department of homeland security. the senate is in gridlock to get that department funded, karl. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has backed away from a fight over the president's immigration orders. he's now offering what democrats say they have long wanted a clean bill for funding the
8:19 am
department of homeland security with no restrictions no attempt to undo president's immigration orders. did he have any choice? >> well i'm not certain how much of a choice he did have, and i'm also not certain we've seen all of this drama yet. yes, he did say we'll have an up or down vote on funding the department of homeland security for the balance of the fiscal year, but he did not say we will not have a vote, we will not bring up legislation that, in essence, condemns the president's action and defunds it. remember, we have nine members of the united states senate who are democrats who have expressed either outright opposition to the president's immigration action or grave doubts about his authority to do so. nine. you take those nine and put 'em with the 54 republicans and you've got 63 in the senate who have said in some way, shape or form we disagree with what the president does. mcconnell still has the ability to bring up a bill that says we prohibit the use of funds in the department of
8:20 am
homeland security budget to fund the president's executive order maybe as long as it's under court challenge or indefinitely, and then the question gets to be what happens to those nine democrats who said we opposed that executive action? remember, the bill that they've been considering not only defunded the 2014 executive order by the president that's so controversial, but it went back to defund the 2011 and '12 which are less controversial and may have statutory authority to allow the to do that. the house put those in. the controversy's been about 2014. the democrats in the senate said oh, we're concerned about the 2014 issue, but we're not concerned about the 2011 and 2012 issues. by conflating the two it gave the democrats an excuse to say, well, we're with you, but we can't vote for this particular version. i suspect mcconnell's going to give them a version that's going to force them to step forward and say, well, i either meant i really didn't mean what i said.
8:21 am
jon: and it could be an issue politically come 2016 when some of those senators have to run for re-election. >> absolutely. jon: karl rove, thank you. jenna: government regulators getting ready to tightener their grip on the internet. and an update in that explosion in new jersey that leveled a house and damaged dozens of others.

8:25 am
main and into the basement of that house. the gas was then ignited by a pilot light on an appliance. jenna: right now the fcc presenting a controversial new set of rules ahead of a landmark vote today regulating internet access in much the same way our telephones are regulated. it's called net neutrality. it's been the subject of fierce debate in d.c. and beyond with proponents arguing it insures an open internet while opponents say the rules will ultimately raise prices for all consumers. peter doocy is live in washington to figure this out for us. >> reporter: and, jenna, we are just about two hours away now from seeing these five political appointees at the fcc vote on 332 pages' worth of regulations that could change the way the internet as we know it operates. these rules have been hidden from the public to this point but one of the republican fcc commissioners who has read through them says the technology -- rather, says the result is going to mean slow or
8:26 am
broadband, less investment in technology and, ultimately fewer broadband choices. now, republican lawmakers say they are hoping that if the regulations are approved with a partisan 3-2 vote, the courts can help them untangle the mess. >> we've had under the clinton administration, the bush administration and for the first few years of the obama administration, what's referred to as a light touch regulatory approach to the internet. this would be a heavy-handed, bureaucratic government-driven decision making approach that is very different from what we've experienced in the past and presents, i think all kinds of you know, legal uncertainty and is going to end up in the courts, for sure. >> reporter: but democrats don't think that any litigation is going to go too far. in fact senator ed markey bigtime supporter says, quote: the fyc has established -- fcc has established the strongest possible constitutional grounds for a court challenge so chiang there's a likely -- so i don't think there's a likelihood it'll
8:27 am
be struck down. senator claire mccaskill is now saying what we've heard a lot of republicans expression which is a desire for congress inned stead of the fcc to take the reins on writing these new rules for the internet. jenna? jenna: peter, thank you. jon: a major winter storm blasting the deep south with heavy snow, dangerous ice and fridge grid temperatures. frigid temperatures. how areas not used to this kind of nasty weather are responding. plus, three new york city men arrested in a plot to join isis and kill the president. how that terror bust went down. and new information just revealed from treasure-trove of documents discovered in bin laden's hideout in pakistan. the chilling plans al-qaedaed had for the white house and the --al tide had for the -- al-qaeda had for the white house and the statue of liberty. we'll go in depth next.

8:30 am
8:31 am
jenna: a fox weather alert, snow and freezing rain blanketing the deep south bringing dangerous driving conditions, school closings and power outagings. jon: the carolinas virginia and mid atlantic states are next in the path of this nasty weather and with the storm bearing down yesterday, many eyes were on how emergency crews in georgia would avoid the chaos from similar conditions as last year. jonathan serrie is about an hour north of atlanta. >> reporter: hi, jon and jenna, must have of -- much of
8:32 am
the snow we saw when we arrived here four hours ago is already gone but some of the secondary roads still a little bit slippery. crews have done a good job keeping the major highway open during the brunt of the storm. take a look at our live shot from our photographer, jeff burton, who's been driving up north highway 515 in pickens county, that also was in north georgia. snowplows and brine trucks have done a good job keeping the interstates and major highways open even during the overnight. as you head further north snow conditions thickened. some secondary roads were deemed impassable overnight. meanwhile, in carolinas more than 200,000 customers lost electricity. georgia power reporting less than 2500 customers affected, mostly in the northeastern corner of the state. air traffic has returned to
8:33 am
normal at atlanta's hartsfield-jackson international airport. now, the snow that you see here that blanketed much of north georgia overnight, it stopped just short of the atlanta city limits and that is good news because that prevented major gridlock on atlanta roadways. however, the atlanta public schools canceled classes today out of an abundance of caution and many atlanta employers have allowed their workers to come in either late or to stay home, and that's kept a lot of extra cars off the road especially during the normally busy morning rush hour traffic. jon and jenna, back to you. jon: i'm sure a lot of people there happy to see the streets again, see the pass fault underneath all that snow. >> reporter: it's a beautiful sight. jenna: right now chilling new information about al-qaeda's plans to attack our homeland. the details coming out of a new york city courtroom where an accused terrorist is representing himself. investigators say he wanted to attack a shopping center in
8:34 am
england and also the subways in new york city. his name appeared on paperwork found in bin laden's pakistan compound on the night navy seals shot and killed the terror mastermind. now he's one of the first suspects presented with evidence from the documents seized at that compound x it's the first time we're the public, seeing the evidence as well. plans to quote strike america in its heartland with attacks on the white house and the statue of liberty and beyond. joining us now, a former fbi assistant deputy director and fbi hostage rescue team commander. so an fbi-er was testifying about this yesterday danny, and just to add context these plots supposedly were for 2009. we, of course, know bin laden was killed in 2011 we've been told that core al-qaeda has been decimated and, in effect, bin laden was retired. so what pictures do these documents paint for us now? >> well past is prologue.
8:35 am
what they plan to do now then is exactly what isis wants to do now. you have to remember isis is an outgrowth of al-qaeda. they're better financed, they're more radical they're better at what they do. and so the plans that al-qaeda had and osama bin laden had are basically continuing to this very moment, and we have to be prepared that nothing has really changed except this threat has gotten bigger. jenna: i just want to read one part of the letter to our viewers: striking america in its heartland has the most significance and is an essential part of reaching our objectives. it goes on to say we have to focus on killing and fighting the american people and to use things like household appliances like knives, for example, or gas cans -- >> right. jenna: -- and lethal plots. danny, that sounds pretty specific and sounds very much that al-qaeda and specifically those involved with bin laden were actively plotting. >> well, they were, and remember now with the internet and with social media they can use those
8:36 am
same ideas and recruit people here. you have to remember too, that using knives in a violent situation is fairly common. in africa they use knives to attack a movie theater and were very, very successful. these guys are here. they're already embedded here they're being recruited here, and we have to consider that we need to be vigilant and be very careful. and when our law enforcement people give us warnings we need to heed them. jenna: it sounds like whether we call it al-qaeda or call terrorists isis they're all enemies. it seems you don't really, you know, we're not going into the different categories and say what's different about each. they're all enemies of america. >> if you call it al-shabaab or you call it al-qaeda it's the same cat. it's the same people trying to do their business which is establish a worldwide caliphate. and they all -- and different regions of the world they call themselves different names. but, in fact, they're the same. some of them actually link are
8:37 am
up together. al-shabaab is linked up with boko haram and, matter of fact they're the motivators with the african terrorist group, boko haram, and it's all the the same. it's the same animal just different species. jenna: it's a good reminder for us because we're often talking about these being new threats but perhaps we don't need to call them the new threats. we know who the enemy is. i want to get your reaction to fbi director james comey revealing that his agency is sgt.ing people in all -- investigating people in all 50 states. >> i have home grown violence investigations in every single state. until a few weeks ago it was 49 states alaska had known which i couldn't figure out, but alaska has now joined the group. we have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states. jenna: i think just as someone
8:38 am
that's part of the news, it's easy when you get a story like this, oh it seems like a new york city problem. but you say you're not surprised what the fbi director had to say. >> not at all. director comey is well regarded in the fbi. i actually had lunch with him about a month ago. he's very well regarded. he says it like it is. he has a statement, i love it, i don't call them lone wolves, i call them lone rats. think that's very transcriptive. the idea that we're -- that's very descriptive. the idea that there's no threat is absurd. the director has his finger on the pulse of terrorism and what's going on in our country, and he directs large scale informations literally -- investigations literally all over the world. so if he says he has these in all 50 states we need to be concerned about that. jenna: why do you think he wasn't invited then, according to reports, to the terrorism summit? [laughter] what do you make of that? he wasn't present there.
8:39 am
>> i don't think that was really a terrorism summit. i think it was more of a social gathering to talk about issues that really didn't address the terrorist threat. we are still not in the business of identifying these guys islamic. i think part of the reason for that summit was to, is to step away from the islamic characterization. and i think that that was -- he's going to talk about terrorism, he's going to talk about ap re4e7ding and killing -- ap re4e7bding and killing terrorists and i don't think that was the subject of that summit. jenna: let me ask you one final question one of the defense attorneys had something to say about the way we're handling arrests, and by want to play that sound for you and get your reaction. >> okay. >> if these allegations are true, and they're just allegations, they really make us question the approach that the federal government takes to young muslim men in america. they are very ham-fisted tactics. there is no attempt to
8:40 am
intervene, to speak, to explore, to understand. there is just the rush to prosecution, to arrest and to conviction. jenna: the rush to prosecution, to arrest and to connection. danny, your thoughts? >> well, that's what lawyers do. instead of defending the case, they attack the people who do the investigation. the fbi conducts an investigation based on evidence. they don't go out and select some muslim young man because he's muslim. they actually got that investigation by evidence gathered in that raid on osama bin laden. so so they took the evidence back to him. they didn't take him to trial. they took the evidence took it to him and then -- and now are going to convict him based on the evidence they've collected. it's not, it's not a profiling thing, it's an evidentiary thing, and that's what the fbi does better than anybody. jenna: danny, always nice to have you on the program. >> thanks thanks. jon: the second day of large scale military drills underway in iran, all of them near a
8:41 am
strategically vital entrance to the persian gulf through which about a fifth of the world's oil passes. state television releasing footage of the drills held by iran's revolutionary guard showing tanks firing and large explosions. that nation put the forward in charge of defending its territorial gulf waters in 2008. the guard has previously conducted similar military exercises at time of year. jenna: well, another major retailer added to a growing list boosting minimum page to attract workers. what it means to the economy and every worker in america. plus the doctor's in with the results of a brand new study on a disease that kills more women than all types of cancer combined. what you need to know about this and the warning signs. you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... suddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right.

leading cause of death for women under 55 years old. researchers at the yale school of public health identified common themes among the symptoms of the women they interviewed including work and family interfering with routine doctor visits also the women were unsure they had had a heart attack, so they were reluctant to seek potentially life-saving treatment. this is scary stuff. joining us now dr. kevin campbell practicing cardiologist and assistant professor at the university of north carolina. this is a big one for you. >> i did. jenna: this study was focusing on women between the ages of 30-55, and i'm certainly in that age bracket, and i've got to tell you, this was news to me, that heart disease was such an issue for this particular age group. why? >> you know, what we need to understand is that women of all ages are at risk for heart disease. you know, in the past heart disease has been thought of as simply a disease of men, and what we know is actually more women than men in the u.s. die of heart disease every single year. jenna: so what did you learn
8:47 am
from this study as someone that approaches this topic on a regular basis? what did you learn about why women don't seek the necessary and potentially life-saving help that they need especially if they're in the midst of a heart attack? >> you know, i think that as much as we've done to try to improve awareness and education through go red campaigns and things like that throughout february and throughout the last ten years, we still have far more to do. women are undertreated and underserved, women present differently and don't recognize the signs and symptoms of heart attacks such as in women it might be anxiety, flu-like symptoms feelings of dread or fatigue which are very different than the chest pain we often think about. jenna: well, and listing those symptoms and a few others as well nausea, for example the anxiety part in particular doctor if someone's feeling particularly stressed, i don't think that would necessarily cue me to go see a doctor that i could be having a heart attack-relateed symptoms.
8:48 am
so what's your advice women about how to approach this? >> so the first thing every woman needs to understand is what is merriesing for heart disease -- can risk for heart disease. including diabetes family history, smoking being overweight or obese. these things put you at risk, and if you're having unusual symptoms in the setting of high risk, then you need to take it seriously and be evaluated. that's the number one message is women need to engage in their own heart health. jenna: what do you think is the number one thing or number one symptom that women tend to ignore? >> you know, i think that they ignore the feelings of a flu-like illness or fatigue because i think, you know, women certainly just like you, overa superstar on -- you're a superstar on tv but you're also a superstar mom and spouse. and i think the plurality of roles that women have to be so successful in every aspect of their life puts additional stress on them. and i think that sometimes they forget about their heart health.
8:49 am
jenna: i'll put attempting attempting superstar at work, attempting mom attempting spouse because i think a lot of women can relate to this you always feel like perhaps you're not fully succeeding on any one of those particular categories. but on that flu-like symptoms that one could be feeling, dr. campbell, would that be something that was very acute for a short period of time, several hours in a day, or is that something i could be feeling potentially over several days and that's really the warning sign? >> you know, i think a lot of these symptoms kind of build up over time. as your risks increase and you develop all these risk factors you may just notice over time that things aren't right. you know, women can have chest pain and shortness of breath like men but often times like we've talked about today they do present atypically. that's what my book is all about, helping women take control of their own heart health. jenna: something for us all to reference. dr. campbell, thank you so much for your expertise on this topic. >> thanks for having me, jenna. have a great day.

amount of pot on them. and a handful of congressional republicans argue d.c.'s new marijuana guidelines violate federal law, they contend a provision passed late last year as part of a spending bill blocks washington's legalization efforts. the city disagrees on that point. the house oversight committee chairman has jurisdiction over washington. in a letter to d.c. chairman jason chaffetz writes quote: if you decide to move forward tomorrow -- this was yesterday -- with the legalization of marijuana in the district, you will be doing so in knowing and willful violation of the law. d.c. has moved forward. chairman chaffetz says his committee will investigate. jon? jon: wow. what a controversy. rich edson, thank you. you can catch more of rich's reporting on our sister network fox business network. go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. jenna: here's what we're working on for the second hour of "happening now." fifteen people managed to survive this horrifying plane crash in taiwan. now we're getting an up-close look at training to save lives
