where have we heard that before. martha: there are superheroes in the movie. we hope they don't suffer the same fate. bill: no sully to save them. enjoy a terrific day. catch you tomorrow. on radio right? martha: we're on radio today will kilmeade. "happening now" starts right about now. jenna: from one amazing picture to another. this is southern michigan. we want to show you keep you updated on this train derailment. you can see it on the left-hand side of the screen. you see exactly how serious this is. apparently this amtrak train was headed to chicago. 2 collided somehow with a semi-truck. this is parts of the railcars themselves. you see the big piece of dirt where the train looked like it dragged across the land right there. no reports of life-threatening injuries at this time despite the collision. we don't know the status of the truck driver. apparently he was taken to the hospital according to

local reports but amtrak says no serious threats right now to those passengers. one passenger described to local press he was knocked or his seat was knocked loose and he heard a lot of grinding. other than that apparently he was okay. we'll keep up to date, a train derailment in southern michigan today. jon: this fox news alert. we're waiting for president obama unveil a new plan he says hopes will revive a crucial sector of the economy, housing. the president is set to outline a proposal that would allow millions of homeowners, including those who owe on their mortgages than their homes are currently worth to refinance at lower interest rates. now the devil is always in the details how you pay for something like this. and some republicans are already raising red flags about the cost of another multibillion-dollar government program. we'll take you back live to fall's church, virginia, to listen to the president when he steps up to the podium. afterward we'll take a

closer look what the plan will mean for homeowners and taxpayers. good morning to you, i'm jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody, i'm jenna lee. we're here in the fox newsroom and "happening now", republican presidential candidate mitt romney celebrating a big win. probably a sigh of relief. jon: i imagine the romney camp is pretty happy. they beat newt gingrich and everybody else in florida's gop primary. 14 percentage points, the margin of victory over gingrich. now he is turning his attention to president obama. >> another era of american crisis thomas payne is reported to have said, lead, follow, or get out of the way. well, mr. president, you were elected to lead. you chose to follow, and now it is time for you to get out of the way. [cheers and applause] jon: well the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich refuses to give up.

he says we will continue his fight to win the white house. >> this is the most important election of your lifetime. if barack obama gets reelected it will be a disaster for the united states of america. jenna: phil keating live in tampa with more on this phil, one of the things we talked about when it comes to mitt romney in florida, his money, his organization, the infrastructure there in the state. what appears to be the lesson today as we take a look at this race? >> reporter: not only well-organized campaign here in florida going back about a year when he first started establishing it but millions and millions of dollars and domination of the tv airwaves in florida, especially in the miami, orlando, and tampa markets over the past 10 days right after of course gingrich beat him in south carolina. romney came in hard and spending money, millions, total of 20 million spent by the romney campaign as well as the pacs supporting him. about four or five to one domination over gingrich. almost all of these ads were

absolute negative attack ads. it did dissuade a lot of voters but did work for mitt romney at his party here at the convention center. very boisterous and very festive. he wasn't talking about gingrich for the first time in a while. he was talking directly to president obama. >> as this primary unfolds our opponents in the other party have been watching and they like to comfort themselves with the thought that a competitive campaign will leave us divided and weak but i've got news for them. a competitive primary does not provide us, it prepares us and we will win. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: now mitt romney said he received no congratulatory phone call from newt gingrich, unlike the calls he did get he says from rick santorum and ron paul. gingrich turned his party, about 45 minutes after romney spoke, to a victory speech by newt gingrich himself. so gingrich is absolutely

insisting this is a two-man race at this point. that florida was food news for him -- good news for him despite falling 14 points short of mitt romney. romney won every particular demographic in the state of florida except for one. that was 33% of people identifying themselves as quote, very consearch tiff. that is the only demo that gingrich actually won. jenna: we'll have to leave it there. we see the president stepping to the podium in virginia. thank you to phil keating. we'll be back in tampa, florida, come august for the republican convention. you can't forget how important that is going to be. jon: that is going to be critical. falls church, virginia, the president says he has help for homeowners especially those whose homes are worth less than the mortgage they owe. let's listen to the president's proposal. >> thank you for having me. last week in my state of the union i laid out my blueprint for and economy

that is built to last and i want to assure you i am not going to go over the whole thing again this morning. [laughter] that was a long speech. i'm not going to, i'm not going to repeat the whole thing but i do want to talk about some of the issues that i discussed last week because the blueprint we put forward was one that focuses on restoring what have always been this country's greatest strengths. american manufacturing, american energy, skills and education for american workers so that we can compete with anybody around the world in this 21st century economy, and most importantly, the american values of fairness and responsibility. fairness and responsibility. [applause]

now we know what happens because we've just seen it, what happened when we stray from those values. we saw what happened over the past decade when we strayed from those values especially when it comes to the massive housing bubble that burst and hurt so many people. millions of families who did the right and responsible thing, folks who shop for a home that they could afford, secured a mortgage, made their payments each month, they were hurt badly by the irresponsible actions of other people who weren't playing by the same rules, weren't taking the same care, weren't asking as

responsible, by lenders who sold loans to people that they knew couldn't afford the mortgages. and buyers who bought homes they knew they couldn't afford, and banks that packaged those mortgages up and traded them to reap phantom profits knowing that they were building a house of cards. it was wrong. it was wrong. it triggered the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, and it has been the single biggest drag on our recovery from a terrible recession. you know, crushing debt has kept millions of consumers from spending, a lack of building demand has hundreds of thousands of construction workers idle. everybody involved in the home building business, folks who make windows, folks who make carpets, they

have all been impacted, the challenge is massive in size and in scope because we've got a multitrillion dollar housing industry. and economists can tell you how it has affected all sorts of statistics from gdp to consumer confidence. but what is at stake is more than just statistics? it's personal. i've been saying that this is a make-or-break moment for the middle class and this housing crisis struck right at the heart of what it means to be middle class in america. our homes, the place where we invest our nest egg, the place where we raise our family. the place where we plant roots in a community.

the place where we build memories. it's personal. it affects so much of how people feel about their lives, about their communities, about the country. about the economy. we need to do everything in our power to repair the damage and make responsible families whole again. [applause] everything we can. now, the truth is it's going to take more time than any of us would like for the housing market to fully recover from this crisis. this is a big bubble. and when it bursts it had a big effect. home prices started a pretty steady decline about five years ago and government

certainly can't fix the entire problem on its own but it is wrong for anybody to suggest that the only option for struggling, responsible homeowners is to sit and wait for the housing market to hit bottom. [applause] i refuse to accept that and so do the american people. there are more than 10 million homeowners across the country right now who because of an unprecedented decline in home prices that is no fault of their own owe more on their mortgage than their homes are worth. it means your mortgage, your house is underwater. here in falls church, home values have fallen by about a quarter from their peak.

in lace -- places like las vegas, more than half of homeowners are under water, more than half. it will take a while for those prices to rise again but there are actions we can take right now to provide some relief to folks who have been responsible, have done the right thing and are making their payments on time. already thanks to the outstanding work in part of my secretary of housing and urban development, sean donovan, who is here today -- [applause] there he is. good-looking guy in the front here [laughing] the housing plan we launched a couple of years ago has helped nearly one million responsible homeowners refinance their mortgages and they're saving an

average of00 on their payments each month, $300, which is great. [applause] but i'll be honest, the programs that we put forward haven't worked at the scale that we hoped. not as many people have taken advantage of it as we wanted. mortgage rates are as low as they have been in half a century and when that happens usually homeowners flock to refinance their mortgages. so a lot of people take advantage of it and save a lot of money but this time too many families haven't been able to take advantage of the low rates because falling prices lock them out of the market. they were underwater, made it more difficult for them to refinance. then you have all the fees involved in refinancing. a lot of people just said, you know what? even though i would like to be obviously cutting down my monthly payment, the banks

are not being real encouraging. so last year we took aggressive action that allowed more families to participate and today we're doing even more. this is the main reason i'm here today. [applause] as i indicated in the state of the union last week i am sending congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner in america the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at historically low rates. [applause] no more red tape. no more run around from the banks. and a small fee on the largest financial institutions will make sure it doesn't add to our

deficit. i want to be clear. this plan like the other actions we've taken, will not help the neighbors down the street who bought a house they couldn't afford and walked away and left a foreclosed home behind. it is not designed for those who acted irresponsibly but but it can help those who acted responsibly. it will not help those who bought multiple homes just to speculate and flip the house and make a quick buck but it can help those who have acted responsibly. what this plan will do is help millions of responsible homeowners who make their payments on time, but find themselves trapped under falling home values or wrapped up in red tape. if you're ineligible for refinancing just because you're underwater on your mortgage through no fault of your own, this plan changes that.

you will be able to refinance at a lower rate. you will be able to save hundreds of dollars a month that you can put back in your pocket. or, you can choose those savings to rebuild equity in your homes which will help most underwater homeowners come back up for air more quickly. now to move this part of my plan we're going to need congress to act. we're going to need congress to act. i hear some murmuring in the audience here. we need them to act. but, we're not just going to wait for congress. we're going to keep building a firewall to prevent the same kinds of abuses that led this crisis, that led to this crisis in the first place. so there are things we can do administratively that

will also help responsible homeowners. [applause] already we've set up a special task force, i asked my attorney general to establish, to investigate the kind of activity banks took when they packaged and sold risky mortgages and that task force is wrapping up its work as we speak. [applause] we're going to keep at it and hold people who broke the law accountable and help restore confidence in the market. we're going to speed assistance to homeowners and we're going to turn the page on an era of recklessness that hurt so many hard-working americans. [applause] today i'm also proposing a

homeowners bill of rights. one straightforward set of common sense rules of the road that every family knows they can count on when they're shopping for a mortgage. no more hidden fees or con being ins of interest. no more getting the runaround when you call about your loan. no more fine print that you use to get families to take a deal that is not as good as the one they should have gotten. new safeguards against inappropriate foreclosures. new options it avoid foreclosure if you have fallen on hardship or a run of bad luck. and -- [applause] and a new, simple, clear form for, for new buyers of a home. [applause] now, think about it.

this is the most important purchase a family makes but how many of you have had to deal with overly complicated mortgage forms and hidden clauses and complex terms? i remember when michelle and i bought our first condo. and we were both lawyers [laughing] and we're looking through the forms and kind of holding it out [laughing] reading it again. what does this phrase mean? and that's, you know, for two trained lawyers. the forms, the confusion, the potential for abuse is too great. just because the forms were too complicated. so this is what a mortgage form should look like. this is it.

[applause] now that our new consumer watchdog agency is finally running at full steam. [cheers and applause] now that richard cordray is in as the director of the consumer finance protection bureau. [applause] they're moving forward on important protections like this new, shorter mortgage form. simple. not complicated. informative. knot confusing. terms are clear. fees are transparent. this is, by the way, is what

some of the folks in congress are trying to roll back and prevent from happening. i guess they like coply indicated things that confuse consumers and allow them to be cheated. i prefer actions that are taken to make things simpler and easier to understand for consumers so that they can get the best deal possible. [applause] especially on the biggest single investment that most people will ever make !. [cheers and applause] americans making a down payment on their dreams shouldn't be terrified by pages and pages of fine print. they should be confident they're making the right decision for their future. there's more that we're announcing today. we're working to turn more foreclosed homes into rental housing because as we know, and a lot of families know,

that empty house or for sale sign down the block can bring undo the price of homes across the neighborhood. we're working to make sure that people don't lose their homes just because they lose their jobs. these are steps that can make a concrete difference in people's lives right now. [applause] as i said earlier, no program or policy will solve all the problems in a multitrillion dollar housing market. the heights of the housing bubble reached before it burst. those were unsustainable and it's going to take time to fully recover. that requires everybody to do their part. as much as our economic

challenges were born of eroding home values and portfolio values, they were also borne of an erosion of some old-fashioned american values. and economy that is built to last, that's on a firm foundation so that middle class family haves a sense of security and those who want to get in the middle class can make it, if they're working hard, that demands responsibility from everyone. government must take responsibility for rules that are fair and fairly enforced. [applause] banks and lenders must be held accountable for ending the practices that helped cause this crisis in the first place. [applause]

and all of us have to take responsibility for our own actions or lack of action. [applause] so i urge congress to act, pass this plan, help more families keep their homes, help more neighborhoods remain vibrant, help keep more dreams, defended and alive. i promise you i will keep doing everything i can to make the future brighter for this community, for this commonwealth, for this country. thank you, everybody, god bless you. god bless the united states of america. thank you. [applause] jenna: that is the president just announcing a, looks like more of a blueprint what could potentially be a major refinancing plan for this country, still to address what has been a struggling housing market. steve moore, senior economic writer for "the wall street journal." steve, certainly a lot of different things the president talked about today in broad strokes. who wins in this plan and who loses?

>> jenna, first of all one of the things i think people have to understand about the housing crisis that the president was just describing is that a lot of governmental policies really contributed to this. first you had something called the community reinvestment act which actually encouraged banks, the government encouraging even forcing banks to make loans, bad loans. second, was the policy of very low interest rates on fha and fannie mae loans. people don't have skin in the game, then they're likely to foreclose. and the problem is, that we've had something like five or six of these programs already, jenna under this president. none of them have worked. in fact the foreclosure crisis is worse today than it was three years ago. so i'm not sure any of these problems have really stopped people from losing their homes. jenna: so you're saying too little too late or do we still make an attempt here at this point in the housing crisis to try to do something else? >> look, i believe first of all, it is fundamentally unfair to require taxpayers

to pay more, people paying their mortgages on time, which 95% of the homeowners are doing, to pay more in taxes to people who took out irresponsible loans. i think it is simply not fair. by the way, jenna, that is what started the tea party movement in the first place. people upset they have to pay more taxes for people who made bad decisions. i think, jenna, the fundamental problem with the housing market right now is simply there are no jobs. people aren't getting pay increases. salaries have been falling. they haven't been rising. median incomes are falling. that makes it difficult for people to pay their mortgages. that is the reason, jenna, the president said there are 10 million people underwater on their homes. but i think this idea of continuing to push hundreds of billions of dollars into this market when it hasn't worked at all to date is throwing good money after bad. jenna: one of the things the president said sharing his story buying first condo with the first lady how

complicated it was, process of getting a mortgage is overly complicated there are hidden clauses and complex terms. >> yeah. jenna: he didn't use the words victims, i don't want to put words in the president's mouth that the consumer was hurt badly of irresponsible actions by others. where does consumer responsibility, lie, steve, when we look at recovering from this financial crisis and how should we be looking at that? >> that is a really great question. the president, he didn't use the word victim but i will. i think he described these people as victims. look, some people were victims of shady practices of lenders but also true, jenna, a lot of people got greedy. they bet on the upside of the market. taking out mortgages they couldn't afford. that was encouraged by governmental policy of very lowdown payments. if we want to stop this from recurring again so we don't have another housing bubble to burst the fundamental thing we have to do is go back to the idea of 10 or 15,

even 20% down payments on loans. if you look at those people foreclosing on their loans right now, a vast majority of them paid way less than 10% down payment so they didn't have much skin in the game when the housing market dropped, all of sudden their mortgage was more expensive than their house was worth. i guess i'm old-fashioned but i think we should go back to the ideas making sure people have skin in the game. the other thing we have to do, jenna, i don't think he mentioned words fannie mae or freddie mac in that whole speech. let's not forget one of the triggers for the housing crisis, the reason a lot of these banks made these bad loans the government through fannie mae and freddie mac providing 100% guaranties of taxpayers that the money would be repaid. of course you've got a housing bubble. we've done nothing yet, you can tell i'm upset about it, because i think it is very irresponsible for the government to continue to allow freddie and fannie to act as they did in the late 2,000s. jenna: that is interesting point and another point for discussion who manages this

program. how much taxpayer money is at stake? who qualifies, is there income requirement who qualifies for the plan? >> right. jenna: when they talk about the fee on bangs to pay for it and what does that do to the banks. >> one last point if i may. about 90% of the new mortgages being made right now, jenna, are still being guaranteed by fannie mae, freddie mac or the fha. so it is almost like we've learned nothing from this crisis. jenna: we'll continue to watch it, steve. it is a big topic. certainly a big topic for the year ahead. >> great to be with you. jon: a guy trapped inside a burning car. the amazing rescue is caught on tape. we will show it to you just ahead. and florida a distant memory for the republican candidates. what to expect as they take their campaigns out west. ♪ .

jon: the big state of florida now in the rear view mirror for the republican candidates. mitt romney the big winner.

he walks away with all 50 delegates from florida. so now the candidates move onto the west getting ready for a flurry of primaries and caucuses. mitt romney heads to minnesota and then las vegas. newt gingrich holding a rally in reno. rick santorum is making stops throughout colorado. starting in denver and lakewood, woodland park and colorado springs. ron paul is also going to vegas to be meeting with voters there. let's talk about all of this with karl rove, former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush and also a fox news contributor. karl, before we talk about these republican candidates let's talk about the man whose job they're trying to win, president obama. he just had that speech about trying to make mortgages more affordable even for people who are underwater on theirs. your reaction? >> this is the fourth or fifth such proposal we'd had from the administration with grandiose promises what it would do and none of

previous ones worked. we'll wait to see but doesn't look like this one will work as well. remember how he will pay for this. he will pay a fee levying on banks. who is paid the fee? not the bank. customers of the bank. some customers of the bank will get a benefit paid for by a larger number of customers who will pay higher fees, find it more difficult to get credit, find it more difficult to get a loan. jon: there was also a line in there about congress has to act, congress has to go along with this. seems the president is once again setting up congress as the impedment to his programs? >> yeah. see him get it through the democratic senate. why doesn't he call up harry reid demanding that congress move it. why not move my measure as put it through as soon as possible. i'm not sure the president sent up legislation. we talk about as previous state of the union messages he takes action and tries to

get the senate move the legislation forward. the house passed 30 some odd bills that have to do with economic growth and prosperity. all but three of them are sitting over there in the senate waiting to be passed. three have been approved by the senate and sent to the president for sig you are it. the problem seems to be in the senate. maybe the senate ought to pay attention to that for a while. jon: let's talk about the republican candidates. mitt romney a very convincing victory in florida. newt gingrich comes in number two. says he will fight on. it will go all the way to the convention as far as mr. gingrich is concerned. good idea? what do you think about his prospects? >> well, let's step back for just a minute. the, february will be a month of both advantage for romney and challenge for romney. there are four caucuses. nevada, colorado, minnesota and maine. he won all four of them in 2008 because he was well-organized and frontrunner john mccain was not. the expectation is he will win all four of them this time around but low turnout caucuses are volatile.

and there could be some surprises here. you saw last night, ron paul speaking before a turbocharged crowd in henderson, nevada. he didn't look like he got 7% of the vote in florida and was getting ready to strike his tent. he was revved up and ready to go. we're likely to see some surprises in these caucuses. at the end of the month there are two primaries michigan and minnesota. those are likely pretty good for romney since he has 20 million in the bank. newt gingrich has a couple of million and a pile of bills which means he has less than a million dollars spendable cash. romney showed if he turns it into resource war as he did in florida he can prevail in those. then we go to march and super tuesday that's where we're likely to see the campaign either begin to end if romney wins most of the contests and most of the delegates or evidence that it will be a long, tough slog through the spring if santorum and gingrich combine to, to give romney

some trouble that day. in between, we've got romney fighting off gingrich but in missouri with a beauty pageant on the 7th of february, no delegates at stake. newt gingrich didn't even file. rick santorum will be auditioning for the role of principle opponent to romney. that will complicate lives for both romney and obama. the excitement has just begun. lots of twists and turns ahead. jon: we'll be glad you will be here with us to watch all the twists and turns. karl rove, thank you. >> thank you, jon. jenna: we'll turn to domestic issues. we'll be back to them. we want to talk about what is happening in syria. troops there continue a brutal crackdown on protesters. today's violence coming as western diplomats take up a u.n. draft resolution that demands syria's president stop the violence and hand over power. according to top u.s. intelligence officials president assad may not have a choice in the end. for the very first time we're seeing syrian

opposition, quote, unquote, rebels use serious weapons. leland vittert life in just. what do we mean about that in syria? >> reporter: we're talking about armored personnel carriers which is not quite a game-changer as the free syrian army as they call themselves. for the first time in he have are ven months these guys have some significant firepower. [shouting] [gunfire] this is the russian apc that was either captured or a syrian soldier brought over to the rebels when he defected. for a long time we're talking about how the rebels are using ak-47s to take on tanks. that is not the case anymore. they have got something to help them. a little bit of momentum. they got beaten pretty badly in the damascus suburbs by assad he is troops. they have pretty much control over the city of homs which could give them a little bit of momentum going forward. that may put time on the

rebels side. it means time is working against president assad. still russia and iran are squarely in assad's corner here supporting him. but remember, assad is needed not by russia and iran. they simply need syria. so the question becomes at some point are these countries going to decide assad is a losing battle and support the rebels before any western governments can get there and try to make a king-maker here and figure out who will run syria which is clearly a lynchpin in the middle east. jenna, back to you. >> very interesting point you make, leland. we'll talk about that with ambassador bolton top of next hour. leland, thank you very much. jon: in california police are on the hunt after a crook pulls off one championship caper. chicago cubs pitcher matt garza came home to find his home ransacked and one of his prized possessions gone. rick folbaum live in our new york newsroom with an update. >> reporter: jon, matt garza a big league pitcher and a burglary victim. his house in california busted into and somebody

made off with a very expensive piece of jewelry. a ring garza earned by being on the tampa bay rays 2008 american league championship team. the ring has a bunch of diamond on it and is valued at $30,000. garza, who now plays for the cubs apparently had other stuff stolen too but the ring was the prize. detectives apparently only able to determine the robbery took place sometime between october 26th of last year and yesterday morning. so this is obviously not a piece of jewelry that matt garza wears on regular basis. anyway a possible suspect was seen leaving the house in a white pickup. there was a woman passenger in the truck according to police. if you have any information that could help matt garza get his bling back you're asked to call the fresno county sheriff's office. the number is on the screen. there is hope here, jon. kyle kendrick had his 2008 world series ring stolen

from his house. two months later, they found it in a swamp. jon: i imagine they had a tip to search a swamp. >> yeah. jenna: a swamp? jon: i suppose somebody dumped in a swamp and told the cops. jenna: personal story. my father played in championship games in the nfl, and same exact thing happened to us. jon: oh, no. jenna: they took his championship ring and one that he has never gotten back. you can't replace them. how do you relays that? jon: that is awful. jenna: i hope he gets back. another major story today. a major recall of birth control pills. why drug giant pfizer is recalling more than one million packets of the pill. we'll talk a little bit about the risk that some women could face. a big story. we'll tell you about that. did you know bueller is back and he may need another day off? matthew broderick recreating his famous role 26 years later for a super bowl ad. we'll preview some of the great commercials we'll all

jon: an incredible story out of nevada about a marriage that is making headlines. kim kardashian and kris humphries lasted just 72 days before they hit the skids. rick folbaum live in our newsroom with a much happier story. rick? >> reporter: thanks to reality tv we get bombarded with news on the shortest of marriages like kim kardashian's but thanks to wilbur and teresa fayes we can report on the longest marriage, 78 years for the nevada couple. how about that. their son entered them into a contest for the longest

married couple in the country and beat the kardashians and everyone else. they were supposed to give a shoutout to the from the president in vegas where they live and they were late for the event and couldn't get past security. wilbur is 100. he doesn't move as fast as he was 90. white house says he will recognize them when he is next in town. teresa was a little under the weather. that is why you only saw will pure. they said the secret to a long and happy marriage, it is about compromise, jon. give-and-take. well-done to them. jon: 78 years that is terrific. rick, thanks. jenna: i love that story. isn't that a great story? jon: working on year one. you have 77 to to. jenna: i am seven months into my marriage. so 78, that is a good goal. if you're going to put one out there. jon: one day at a time. one day at a time. jenna: compromise. one of the big stories of really the past year and one

we'll watch especially this week are new developments in the "fast and furious" investigation. a tough warning for attorney general eric holder as the justice department faces new accusations of a cover-up. we'll dig a little deeper into that. she asked president obama a very tough question about her husband's job search and mr. obama offered to help. the couple is joining us live. we'll get an update. and that's next. ♪ my sunglasses.

>> reporter: in the fox news control room. a train derailment in michigan. this train had a run in with a tractor/trailer. cars came off the tracks as you can see. we have the very latest on how it happened. look over here, we have pictures here. this used to be a boat right here, this boat in washington state blew up. why did that happen, and who was

injured? we'll tell you that coming up in two police officers in a jersey shore town pull a man from this burning car. we've got all the heroics for you coming up, that and breaking news as it happens. the second hour of "happening now" "happening now" starts right now. jenna: lots of great news stories to dig into today. glad you are with us, i'm jenna lee. happening now, a powerful house republican is a cushion the justice department of a cover up. jon: i'm jon scott. a major escalation in the investigation of a botched gun running sting, fast and furious. a threat to hold attorney general eric holder in contempt of congress. william la jeunesse who has been on the story from the very beginning is live for us with an update from los angeles. william. >> reporter: critics have claimed that the house oversight committee hasn't paid hardball until now.

they demanded documents from the justice department and has brow beat the attorney general but their threats carried no substance. not any more. chairman issa yesterday told holder that he believed the attorney general had misrepresented the facts, misled congress and has even gauged in a cover up. so yes issa warned holder, and i'm quoting, if the department continues to obstruct the congressional inquiry by not providing documents and information this committee will have no alternative but to forward -- go forward with proceedings to hold you in contempt of congress. >> the terry family has waited more than a year to get answers. and so far only 6% to 8% of the documents we know to exist have been delivered. a year is way too long. >> reporter: now they claim that some documents issa wants, and friday they turned over 500 pages.

those included pages never before seen. in one of them a deputy chief of staff claimed that he told holder about the shooting of brian terry the day it happened. that cast doubt on holder's congressional tpeft. anothe testimony. another document said an assistant attorney general who apologized not stopping fast and furious advocated doing it a year before with mexico, casting doubt on his integrity. the attorney general appears before congress tomorrow. we're told he will be the only witness. will we see new evidence coming out of the committee, questions given to the attorney general about efforts to maybe hide fast and furious and efforts, if you will, in the could be trucks of justice charge that many have claimed the department is guilty of? back to you. jon: that is going to be a very tense hearing i have a feeling. william la jeunesse, thanks. jenna: we'll be watching for that tomorrow. in the meantime mitt romney scoring a major victory in florida, defeating his closes alcohol even skwrer newt gingrich by a wide margin last night. the republican race is far from

over. there are four candidates still running and his rivals are promising a vigorous campaign as they head for the next battleground. john roberts is live in las vegas. hi, john. >> reporter: hey, good afternoon to you, jenna. we are at a ron paul event in the eastern part of las vegas. he's going to hit the stage in a couple of minutes. this nevada caucus coming up on saturday is going to be very important in this race. it's the first in the west competition. it will give us some sort of an idea of how these candidates are going to do in the west. colorado is also coming up next week, and minnesota after that, and same day, actually, and missouri as well. we'll get an indication of how west of the mississippi these candidates are going to fare. mitt romney won this state with 51% back in 2008. ron paul coming second with about 14%. mitt romney is still the favorite going into this. ron paul expected to do better in 2012 than he did four years ago. the big issue here is jobs, jobs, jobs, the economy and the housing crisis.

this is a state that has literally been decimated by the economic downturn. i talked with amy, the nevada state g.o.p. chair about the whole thing. she says the situation here is absolutely terrible. listen. >> really, really unfortunate, and it's quite depressing. if you look around there are a number of buildings standing even empty. they are small business owners who had to pack up and move to another state. there is nothing going on right now, no objection. >> reporter: i was talking with a real estate agent who is a friend who is a bus driver here at ron paul event and he said that the bus driver came to the even of his route and there were three kids in the back of the bus who were crying. he said why are you crying? they said our house was foreclosed on yesterday we don't know where we're going home to. more moneys came out heavily for mitt romney in 2008. ron paul tried to get some of those. how big a part of the electorate

do they represent? listen. >> more moneys are about 11% of the population, but in the republican primary they maybe up to a quarter of the voters here. what is very important to remember here is they have very, very high turn out rates. they'll tell you 70, 75% turn out which is unheard of in a state like nevada. >> reporter: 70 or 75% turn out which is why they are such a valuable voting block which is why mitt romney has courted them and ron paul as well. most results will come in at 7:00 on start night except for clark county. they will be holding a kosher caucus. observant jews will be able to caucus at 7:00pm after sundown. those results we will not get until after 10:00 at night. it will be a while until we find out. jenna: john roberts in nevada for us. thank you. jon: let's look ahead to all of the states holding contests in

the next week. nevada, maine, colorado and minnesota will hold their caucuses. missouri holds a nonbinding primary. all together about 180 delegates are at stake. bob cusack is managinged tore of "the hill." let's go through those races one by one, mitt romney expected to do pretty well in nevada, right, bob. >> yeah he won there big last tphaoeupl last time, heavy more money population. it will be a big night for mitt romney. jon: colorado. >> it is shaping up very nicely for mitt romney the next month until possibly super tuesday. newt gingrich is going to struggle in the contests. he's going to focus on a specific state, minnesota now. mitt romney has the momentum. he needs to stay on the offense. after new hampshire he went on defense, that didn't work in south carolina. he went on the offensive in the florida debates and that worked for him. jon: you have michigan coming

up. that is a state where he has deep ties, his father was governor, obviously he will be expected to do well. >> he'll do well in micgan. arizona has the backing of senator john mccain. he is looking fairly good, he has to watch the stumbles, as far as if he makes a gaffe or that kind of thing. newt gingrich on the other hand is going to have to stay in the news somehow and it's going to be interesting to see if gingrich attacks romney as hard as he did before florida. but by no means is this over, and this has been a roller coaster race and gingrich, listen there are 46 states left, there is a long way to go. but romney has a major, major edge right now. jon: remember what happened on the democratic side four years ago when hillary clinton and barack obama were still battling it out late into the primary season. >> yeah and newt gingrich also made the point this week that, listen, until romney gets over 50% in a major state, there are going to be questions about his campaign.

the one thing, jon that romney has back is electability. that is what he lost after south carolina. more republicans once again as they saw him, his debate performance in florida think maybe he can beat obama. after south carolina they were doubting that. he needs to hold onto that electability edge. jon: mitt romney's detractors can argue that the anti-vote in florida was bigger than the proromney vote. >> that is the question. are we ever going to have a one-on-one, is rick santorum or newt gingrich going to bow out? ron paul will go for a longtime, i think newt gingrich will too. the one to watch is santorum. stan tore um and gingrich are both saying the other one should drop out. i don't think that will happen any time soon. jon: santorum got the backing of dr. james dobson in colorado, focus on the family head, an organization in colorado springs. that is perhaps going to propel him to a pretty significant

position there. jon: santorum is making the case that gingrich had all the momentum after south carolina, had his opportunity in florida and blew it. i think the barbs between santorum and gingrich, who have a pretty good relationship are going to be dominating through february. jon: despite florida this thing is far from over. >> exactly. jon: bob cusack from the hill. jenna: that leads us nicely into our next segment as well. mitt romney won all of florida's 50 delegates last night. it's a winner take all state. momentum or not there is a long way to go in the delegate count. chief washington correspondent james rosen has more on that. >> reporter: imagine if four people were sitting around and playing monopoly and all four of them claimed that the layout of the monopoly board favors them to win. that is what is happening with the four g.o.p. contenders and the hunt for tkpwel delegates that stretches out ahead. before august 1st there will be up for grabs 2286 delegates

that can be won. to clinch the nomination in advance of the convention one of the four republican candidates for president needs to capture this number, 1144 delegates. so where do we stand? not very far along in the process just now. if you count the four states that have already voted, including yesterday's big win for mitt romney in florida, only 115 delegates have been awarded so far. 87 in romney. just 5% of the total that is up for grabs. looming on the horizon is super tuesday, when voters in ten states will go to the polls, that is march 6th. 437 delegates will be awarded on that day, roughly 19% of the total. most will be awarded on what you see here a proportional, not a winner take all basis. virginia is a hybrid, it will do part winner take all and part proportional, it's giving away almost 50 delegates. guess what newt gingrich didn't qualify for the ballot there. he is much more hopeful instead about his home state of georgia which is giving away the most number of delegates of any

state, 76, 26 more than florida offered. aids to governor romney says there are a series of states where they expect him to do well, including nevada this coming saturday. they will be giving away 28 delegates, and arizona will be giving 29 delegates away on a winner take all basis. where does that leave former house speaker newt gingrich? he's pegging his hopes to a number of southern states that will be voting toon, 50 delegates in alabama on a proportional basis coming up soon. 40 in mississippi. 105 delegates for texas, they will be awarded on a proportional basis. martin baker the political director for the newt gingrich campaign circulated a memo this week pegging the former speaker's hopes to the southern states. if you want to avoid a brokered convention in tampa in august you have to capture the 144 number of delegates. otherwise if no one does we'll have to settle this at the one srepbgs, and boy tha

convention, and boy won't that be fun. jenna: thank you for the break down today. jon: the indiana legislature has put that state on the verge of becoming the first one to become a right to work state, that is the first rust-belt state to become a right to work state. it will become law, this measure will, assuming governor mitch daniels signs it, and he has said that he will. the union members are gathering there on the grounds of the state house. they don't like this thing, obviously, and they are saying that they are going to protest heavily during the upcoming super bowl festivities. they want to put a national spotlight on what is going on there in indiana. a very heavily union state that is now becoming a right to work state, or will with the signature of the governor. we'll have more on "happening now." jenna: that is a big story. well, how about this. the hollywood starlet no more? reports that lindsay lohan may

be leaving california behind. we're going to tell you why and where she may be moving. i have a feeling jon scott has an exclusive on that. jon: i am all over that story. jenna: on a completely different subject let's talk about new concerns about iran, how real is the possibility of teheran carrying out a terror attack on american soil. we're going to ask former u.n. ambassador john bolton about the picture looks ahead. and rick is over at the wall. >> reporter: the political obituary of newt gingrich has been published. good night newt is what it says on the cover of the post. if you go to our poll, you may be interested in weighing on that. is there a chance that newt can pull off another come back. more than 60% of you saying no right now. what do you think? the commercial break coming up, why don't you log on and let us know what you think. we'll have more of "happening now" after the break, don't go away.

jon: right now, new information on some celebrity stories we're keeping an eye on. a saddened in los angeles. don cornelius, creator of the long running tv dance show soul train is dead. police say he shot himself at his home. soul train aired nationally for 35 years beginning in 1971. convenient usvenus, california, lindsay lohan is moving out of her home after a run-in with a presents passer. she is seriously thinking of leaving in new york when her probation for d turks i and shoplifting ends next month. in tpeplz, lisa marie presley speaking about her late father elvis has a new graceland exhibit about her relationship with the king, and it opens today. she is calling the exhibit personal and says one of her fond december memories is waiting for her dad to come down the stairs in the afternoon

always decked out in full elvis ra gale yeah. jenna: brand-new information on growing tension what's ran over its nuclear program. the top intelligence officer in our country telling congress that iran may now be trying to carry outer or attacks inside the united states because of perceived threats against them. joining me now former ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor, john bolton. that is the key thing he had to say. iran could be playing these in response to threats against them. it's a question of whether it would be an offensive move or defensive move. how do you see it. >> i don't really see it that way. last fall the administration indicted senior republican revolutionary guards officials who were plotting to kill the sawed yeah arabian ambassador to washington. i iran's terrorist capabilities are already there. imagine what it would be like when it gets nuclear weapons?

jenna: what is in it for iran to back off if the conversation around the world is if you continue we're going in and attack you. >> i'd prefer that the conversation weren't so public. i said we should destroy their nuclear weapons program three years ago. if we had done that we would be in much better shape today. the mos most likeee outcome is that they will get nuclear weapons until as leon panetta said someone acts. jenna: we know iran has very close ties with certificate yeah. how does that play into the whole picture here, how would you frame that for us. >> it increases the instability in the region. it is a surrogate conflict between iran and the sheo on one hand and the ark of influence of hezbollah, against the sunni arabs on the other. all this gets more complicated when iran gets nuclear weapons.

from israel's point of view you have the new government coming into power in egypt, the muslim brotherhood majority. this doesn't look good. jenna: we keeping here there is a question, according to some officials of whether or not iran will actually develop that nuclear weapon. >> this is i think utter silliness on the part of these officials. they also testified yesterday revealing lee that the existing economic sanctions had done nothing to affect iran's policies or programs with respect to those nuclear weapons. they've been pursuing nuclear weapons for 20 years. the evidence is overwhelming, and the inability, or unwillingness of these intelligence officials to say that this evidence exists i think is whistling past the graveyard. jenna: seems to be what happened for 20 years as you've said, so why? >> i think the ideology of the obama administration is we can negotiate with iran, we can talk them out of their nuclear weapons program and they are trying to find ways for iran to

say, actually it never was nuclear weapons, it was always peaceful nuclear power. jenna: you hear today reports that pakistan is backing the taliban to take over in afghanistan when we leave. pakistan is quote unquote an ally of ours. we have nuclear weapons. are we taking our eye off the ball focusing too much on iran and not focusing on other countries that have nuclear weapons that might be backing our enemies. >> we have to walk and chew gum at the same time. it would be a real threat. and it is a severe problem. pakistan created the taliban, it finance edit, it's a very, very difficult country for the u.s. to deal with. jenna: ambassador bolton always great to have you on set. thank you very much. tough topic to deal with. we'll continue to ask questions about them. jon. jon: here is a story we wanted to bring our viewers. most people would probably runaway from a burning car, but two police officers run towards the flames when they realize a guy is trapped inside.

jenna: two police officers hailed as heros after saving a man trapped in a burning car. rick, you have more on this? >> reporter: i do, jenna. this is something, two new jersey police officers, they are out on patrol, they get called to the scene of a burning car that was in the driveway of a home. they pull up pretty close to the house. officer lauren kelitz runs to the car and quickly realizes there is a person inside the car. her partner is not far behind. and she tells her partner, take

a listen. >> sir, get out of the car. come on. get out of the car now. open your door. mark, he's coming to you. get out! sir, get out of the car! get out of the car! get out of the car! are you okay? >> reporter: the man was not okay at that moment. he had got even sick, he was incapacitated, slumped over on the seat. the officer who ran back to the squad car he went to get a device that breaks car windows, while the other officer pulls the man from the burning car. the man in the car treated for smoke inhalation. he is recovering at home and those two police officers, jenna, out-and-out heros, not injured at all, super job down there in the jersey shore down. jersey power, jenna right there on the screen.

jenna: thumbs up from all of us at fox to them. they really are true heros. incredible. rick, thank you. >> why does the government continue to issue an extend h1b visas when there are tons of americans just like my husband with no jobs? >> jennifer, i don't know your husband's specialty. i can tell you there is a huge demand around the country for engineers. jon: that was an exchange between a woman and president obama alternate the president's youtube google plus social media conference. jennifer's husband is an unemployed semiconductor engineer. the president offered to pass his resume onto proceed speb on prospective employers. what is the update in they join us live. jennifer how did you wind up video chatting with the president, explain that to our viewers. >> well, basically i have a

youtube site, and i upload videos all the time, and one day i just noticed there was a little red telephone by the youtube logo, so curiosity got the best of me and i clicked on it and it brought me to the white house channel and there google plus explains the opportunity to have an interview with the president. so i submitted the video and just this past friday google contacted me and said that i was chosen. jon: you were confronting the president about the h1b visa program, the program that allows highly trained people of foreign birth to come into this country and get jobs. darren, you've been out of work for what, three years? >> that's right. jon: you are sort of a computer engineer. >> i work in the semiconductor industry. all my experience has been in

semiconductor business. jon: the president seemed a little surprised that you haven't been able to find work. >> yes, he did. jon: so he offered, as i understand it, to help pass your resume around to employers in the dallas area where you live. anything come of it yet? >> well, actually we were contacted by deputy chief of staff in the white house yesterday, and they did get my resume, and they've given us feedback that they are contacting local employers for us. >> yes. >> we are very happy about that, we are very grateful. jon: three years is a longtime to go without work, obviously. >> absolutely. we did -- we were fortunate enough to get temporary work for nine months during that time. it's been about three years since i've had permanent employment. jon: among engineers the latest statistics we have, in

september 2011 the unemployment rate for scientists and engineer tph-s this country, onl in this country, 8.3%. the overall interest rate 9.2%. i guess that's why the president expressed so much surprise about your situation. it's pretty tough out there. >> 3.8% compared to 9% overall, to me is still a big gap in unemployment, even for scientists, engineers and that such industry. i've been getting emails from regular american citizens since i had this interview with obama that are in the very same position that my husband is in, from all over the u.s. not just texas. so, the h1b visa work program basically what we just -- we don't want to see it done away with, you know, we believe in the american dream, and we very much believe that this country was founded on foreigners, and

we don't fault them at all, but at the same time we do think that the scale needs to be recapped. we believe that if there is any avenue that you can promote job growth, whether it's among college educated or not, it doesn't matter, that avenue needs to be explored definitely. jon: jennifer you've said that you traditionally vote republican. if the president helps darren get a job does he get your vote come november? >> not based on a job. we are one american. there are tons of americans, hundreds, thousands that don't have jobs. we are just one. you know, if he were to do something about the h1b and maybe reevaluate the cap, that could possibly sway my vote, but just because he looked at the rest nay, we're going to have to think about that one. jon: jennifer and darren, darren we wish you well as your job hunt goes on.

consideration here but the question is, who pays for this? with us now, fox business network senior washington correspondent peter barnes. peter? >> reporter: hey, jon. maybe the taxpayers end up paying for some of this but listen, supporters say cutting the interest rates on mortgages for millions of homeowners would free up billions of dollars which consumers then could turn around and spend and maybe help the economic recovery. it would be like a big tax cut. >> i am sending congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner in america the chance to save about $3,000 a year own their mortgage by refinancing at historically low rates. [applause] >> reporter: now the president is proposing to allow these refinancings through the federal housing administration with a new government guaranty for a loan. that means a taxpayer backstop by the way. his plan would streamline

the refi process at the fha, fannie, freddie and other government mortgage entities. he wants a new homeowner bill of rights and other reforms like getting more principle reduction in refi's. fha would presumably charge the homeowner for a fee of the refinancing. any possible taxpayer losses administration says that could be covered in $5 to $10 billion in bank taxes on biggest banks. this and other components would require approval from congress of course but many republicans are already concerned that the fha is on shaky financial ground because of older bad mortgages from the housing bubble. that it could require a big bailout at some point. this morning the speaker didn't sound too keen on the plan. >> we've done this at least four times where there is some new government program to help homeowners who have trouble with their mortgages. none of these programs have worked. i don't know why anyone would think that this next idea is going to work.

>> reporter: one expert this morning called the plan political poppycock saying it is an election year ploy designed to get republicans in political trouble if they reject it. jon? jon: peters barnes, fox business network. thanks. jenna: we'll turn to politics now. fox news exit polling in florida highlighting information about how voters view the gop candidates. this is what it showed. nearly half of florida primary vote that's were polled, 42% of them say they're not satisfied with the current field. chris wallace is the anchor of "fox news sunday". he joins us live from washington after a late night last night covering the results in florida. chris, a little perspective for all of us, how unusual is it to see results like that about the current field in a typical, you know, primary season like the one we're in? >> it is high and it's at least 10 points higher than it was in south carolina 10 days ago. you know, there are three

explanations for it seems to me, jenna. one would be the fact that the attacks in florida were so personal and so nasty between gingrich and romney that obviously makes you think neither of these guys is abraham lincoln. the second thing is the extraordinary amount of ads which were overwhelmingly negative. over $10 million in ads. four or five to one romney to gingrich but again vastly more negative than positive. they were going after each other rather than selling themselves. and then the third possibility, i think those two certainly are things that drive down voter satisfaction with the candidates. the third thing they may not be crazy about either of these guys and, you know, some people are saying well that's a big deal. first of all realistically the chances that somebody will get into the race are very slim. all the political experts i talked to indicate that the filing deadlines in most of the primaries are already passed. so as a practical matter

almost impossible to get in and have a chance to win the nomination. so i think, in the end the most, the biggest recruiting tool for whoever ends up being the nominee will be barack obama because, you know, you may not be crazy about gingrich, may not be crazy about romney, santorum or paul but one will be the nominee and going up against barack obama. that will get the conservative base mobilized. jenna: you're echoing a little bit what governor huckabee said to us on foxnews.com last night. rick folbaum and i were anchoring our coverage there we had an interesting conversation with the governor. i will roll a little sound from that, chris and get your thoughts on it. >> i think republicans need to get over that and start saying look, none of these guys are perfect but i would suggest to them that any of them are better, every day of the week and twice on sunday than the guy we got in the white house right now. that is how they need to start looking at this. jenna: this conversation led into one of alliances chris, maybe different pairing that could come up.

mitt romney said this is my vice president he would coalesce groups. if gingrich and santorum came together maybe that would coalesce different parts of the republican party. what do you think about when we might see some of that happening? >> not for a while. they're all in it if there was one thing that was clear in the speeches last night, two of them were in florida, gingrich and romney. two of them were in nevada, the next contest, paul and santorum. they're still in this, all four of them. and certainly santorum is not about to get out for gingrich. and paul i absolutely will be in it all the way to the convention because he, look, i think he would like to win the nomination. i think some of his supporters believe he can but he mostly wants to have an impact on the party and perhaps clear the way for his son, kentucky senator rand paul. i don't think you will see any of them at least through super tuesday, the first week in march. i don't think you will see any of these guys drop out. there will be plenty of time for them to get together.

remember obama and clinton. now i have to say the field was happier with that, republicans were happier with that field than, let me try it one more time. the democrats were happier with that field. it was a late night last night than the republicans are with this field. everybody was talking about how they would put it together, obama and clinton. it didn't end up being a problem at all. the party united. they got together. they won a victory. i think that will happen again. jenna: we'll have to run. doesn't seem that is the same energy you see within the republican party here. you hear about a brokered convention. you think that is real possibility? >> no, i don't. i just think, is it a possibility? yes as a political reporter would i love to see it happen, absolutely. i never had one in my lifetime but i think chances are, with the money and driving candidates out, this race is also very backloaded. you don't even get half the delegates awarded until sometime in april.

i think it's very unlikely this is a brokered convention. i think somebody will go in with a clear majority. it will be another one of the tv productions like they always are, jenna. jenna: a good history lesson for us in the meantime. learn about a brokered convention and what that could likely look like. we'll see what the convention to come, maybe. chris, see you on sunday. thank you so much. >> thank you, jenna. i promise to get my parties right and candidates right by sunday. jenna: we were picking up when you were throwing down, chris. jon: super bowl parties sunday. jenna: that is a big day. we have to watch television all day. jon: democrats, republicans and super bowl parties. a tremendous explosion blowing a 40-foot boat to damaging boats 75 yards away. how the guy on the boat was able to survive. atf looking more than weapons. we'll introduce you to izzy

jon: a harrowing ordeal in the sky and on the ground. an air traffic controller realize as pilot is in trouble. thanks to his training he could tell the pilot simply wasn't getting enough oxygen and was in danger of crashing his light plane.

here is some of how it sounded. jon: joining us now, charlie, rohrer. an air traffic controller out of the denver center. you're winning an award for your heroism here. the pilot is up in the air at 17,000 feet of. apparently didn't have the ox again mask or canister on board he was supposed to be breathes out of, huh? >> we didn't find out whether he was on oxygen or not. it was pretty evident that

he was, had trouble making transmissions. it was pretty labored. and then, at some point the wife's voice came on and said that he was, he was incapacitated. so, i still don't know what happened to him. i believe they were on oxygen and i don't know if the line was kinked or what was going on. jon: she made some remarks, according to the transcript, trying to keep her own oxygen mfk a on. you're supposed to have it above a little over 14,000 feet. but at any rate, for whatever reason he was not getting enough oxygen and basically had blacked out? >> yes. i believe it was classic sign of hypoxia, lack of oxygen to the brain. jon: she didn't know how to fly. >> that's correct. jon: how did you get her to take control of the aircraft and get them on the ground safely? >> we asked her if she had any experience flying and then when she said she didn't, i just made a broadcast out on the frequency, if anybody on a

frequency had anytime in the same type of aircraft they were flying which was a kirrus luck killly pilot on great lakes aviation flight had some experience. i elicited his help on the frequency to try to encourage her how to get lower altitude and get to safer area away from higher terrain. hely came to. he and his wife were able to land safely thanks to your heroics. we often hear of air traffic controllers criticized for not doing the right thing. you saved a couple lives. hats off to you, charlie. >> thank you, sir. jon: we'll be right back.
