36 dulles, we've got temperatures in the 20s down towards cull pepper, 32 frederiksburg and ocean city, nice bounce back for you you are now 36 degrees. you are starting to warm up, looking at satellite radar, sunshine we will see clouds move in later this afternoon you can see those starting to develop off to the south and west eastern kentucky and west virginia. mostly cloudy for our evening commute we should be dry for wednesday high temperatures upper 40s should be a nice comfortable afternoon yesterday we were mid- to upper 50s not a bad looking forecast for the end of january. here is your forecast today, sunshine start your day clouds by afternoon high temperatures upper 40s to 50 in frederiksburg. rain in the forecast tomorrow details coming up, and let's do some traffic julie wright has your latest. >> good morning tucker unfortunately problems, the crew in sky fox live over the

scene of this multivehicle accident which occurred, half a mile north of 123, traffic, squeezing by to the right, fire and rescue, a couple vehicles involved in this crash. big delays building from dale city as you travel northbound again, crews are working on the people involved in this crash, over to the left side of the roadway again only right lane sable to get by, expect heavy flow. if you are travelling over on route 1 still in the heat expect a lot of bailout, those heading northbound, trying to work their way up towards the occoquan. elsewhere, travelling the outer loop, leaving 95, headed to georgia avenue, headed towards silver springs earlier accident cleared that commute on the outer loop, leaving 95 to georgia, a 13 minute ride. that is a check of your on time traffic. >> thank you julie.

new this morning a daring rescue by u.s. special forces in somalia. hours ago that he freed a danish woman and man who had been held by pirates, they worked for day niche refugee council they were unharmed there are reports 9 pirates were killed in the raid. it is the start of a long campaign for president barack obama fresh off his state of the union address the president begain his five state tour to drive home the message he outlined. jobs and economy were the dominant themes but so was the now trending idea of fairness and money's influence in politics. >> while this wasn't billed as a campaign speech the president made what was seen by some as a swipe at mitt romney, calling for a huge tax increase on some

of the wealthiest americans. >> if you make more than a million dollars a year you should not pay less than 30% taxes. on the other hand, if you make under $250,000 a year like 98% of american families, your taxes shouldn't go up. you are the ones struggling. with rising costs. and stagnant wages. you are the ones who need release. i talk tonight about the deficit of trust between main street and wall street but the divide between this city and the rest of the country is at least as bad and seems to get worse every year. some of this has to do with the corrosive influence of money in politics. so together let's take some steps to fix that. >> will lawmakers heed the call for bipartisan cooperation what do they think about targeting the rich. joining us with reaction, democratic congress woman, donna edwards who serves

maryland's 4th district and republican congressman paul bound. good morning. first let's ask both of you for your general reactions to the president's address representative brown let's start with you. >> ladies first let's go ahead and let miss edwards talk i am a southern generalle man. >> that's fine with me >> i am not going to let you guess what i think the president hit it dead on. he talked about the future and investing in the future and manufacturing and research and development and the kinds of things that make this country great he talked about us working together. i hope we take him up on it this time. >> reaction. >> well, actually it was a yawner of a campaign speech, y'all said in the lead he is just beginning to campaign he has been campaigning for several years now he can't run on his record so he runs on a platform of ensurrey and

division -- envy and division. he proposed new taxes talked about fairness. fairness is treating everyone in this country equal under the law. the tax system is not equal he proposed a whole lot of new administrations he talked about that he believes in the same wayabraham lincoln does that government should only do things people cannot do for themselves. that is preposterous he has created a bigger and bigger government, his policies have been abject failures and they are destroying our economy, destroying jobs the only job to me he seems to be focused upon is his own and own administrations, so we need to change governments here in washington we need to go back to the constitutional limit of government and we need to do what our founding fathers did and let people create a strong economy create jobs in the private sector but he believes government's only solution that is what his speech is about.

>> let me just share with you tony, what i think the president said is i agree with mr. brown the tax system is quite unequal the president pointed that out last night he said it is true the wealthiest in this country should not be paying a lower tax rate than those who work for them. >> wait a minute. >> wait it is a simple question of real fairness economic fairness. work hard pay your bills make a living for your families i think the president pointed that out and said we have to make an investment in our future together, we should be able to build our roads, bridges infrastructure and invest in innovation, economy and energy economy, for this nations future and create jobs listen the president is proud to run on his record it is a record of 22 straight months of job growth increase in manufacturing jobs since the late 1990s the greatest increase that we have had and the president wants to build on that record he knows what put us in a ditch he didn't want to focus on that last night what

he wants to talk about is how we build in the 21st century for the future and continued growth for all families and fair way from top to bottom not just the wealthiest but all of the others, with 98% in the middle. i think the president shared that with us last night. >> one of the themes last night was a devie sieveness that we see every day on capital hill and representative brown, do you see -- is there any way during the course of this year that republicans and democrats, the congress and the executive branch can work together to accomplish somethings? >> well, tony i have been trying to work across the aisle in many ways i have even worked with some of the most liberal members of congress to try to get good housing policy but what miss edwards is talking about, is that the president spent more time focussing upon warn buffet and his -- warren buffet and his taxes and

secretary than he did about the policy that will destroy medicare. this campaign gimmick, of reducing the payroll tax we should lower taxes to everybody, and when he is talking about what miss edwards was talking about, is taxing two different things two tax rates about two issues they want to confuse all this, they want to confuse the american people we need to create manufacturing jobs here in the country the reason they are leaving is because of the high tax rate, the regulatory burden. the epa is putting maxes on industry that will kill jobs and run them offshore. then he is talking about having more taxes on multinational corporations which will mean a lot of those corporations are going to leave america. their policies are disastrous they fail, they have failed in the past, failed in future and won't face that. we've got to create a strong

economy creating a strong middle class. we've got half of america, that either are poor or on very low income. so fairness to this administration seems to make all of us poor. we need to make everybody rich. >> okay. >> about creating a fair tax code by reforming the tax code by lowering taxes on business, industry and individuals so we can create jobs out there in the private sector. i am glad mr. brown is recognizing inequality in onomy the president spoke to that last night, he said something i like use the tax code, invest in manufacturing, core research in our research institutions, invest in education, roads infrastructure. frankly republicandemocrats, should be able to agree in short order we need to reinvest in building our roads, our

bridges, our water and sewer systems those are things it is not a democratic bridge or republican bridge, and the president spoke to that last night. >> representative brown i apologize we are just running out of time i have to cut you off there, but i thank you both for taking time to join us this morning i am sure this dialogue will continue through the day and through the days ahead. representative brown and edwards thank you. as expected republican presidential candidates were not impressed with the state of the union address. president obama is proposing more of the same. newt gingrich responded saying in part that the president proposed nothing in the way of policy changes that will get us to robust job creation and dramatic economic growth. coming up in 20 minutes political strategist, peter fen and jim will debate the state of the union address and who has an edge in the upcoming

florida primary. >> there is a lot to talk about. we will have much more about that throughout the show this morning. >> all right right now 7:11 a.m., coming up 7:12 a.m., next remembering a legend final goodbye to the man who forever changed the campus of penn state university. >> why some occupy dc protestors may soon be looking for a new place to set up camp. >> wizards look to rebound with a new head coach. after the break, we will check with the sports junkies for reaction to the firing of flip sanders pgh >> 7:12 a.m. as we take you to the break a live lookout side the latest weather and traffic, from tucker and julie, this song makes me happy coming up next

probably lose to charlotte, campbell walker will probably go nuts for them. >> possible. >> let's turn our attention to the cats they won last night that is good but i want to talk about alex ovechkin he decided to sit out the all-star game doesn't want to be a distraction. well, end of the day, he is a spoiled baby suspended here having a little hissy fit pouting going to sit in the corner going to take his puck and go home not participate i understand where he is coming from but end of the day you want to be considered the face of thenhl your should be there at the all-star game. >> you should drop that word. >> sorry i shouldn't have said that. borderline hits he has been suspended before, knows the rules he can't leave his skates if he leaves his skates he is going to pay the price for it. >> should he be at the all-star game. >> absolutely he is supposed to be an ambassador for the nhl. >> i said this earlier he is

lucky to be at the all-star game he should take the invitation and be happy he was selected to be an all-star. >> very interesting i hear you i was thinking the other way you make a good argument. >> we are good at arguing. one thing we are good at. >> i think like you tony perkens. i don't think he should go. if it were me i wouldn't go. he is a target he is angry at the nhl angry at the commissioner and said i am going to take six daygo to moscow and hang out with my hot russian girlfriend. the guy has hundreds of millions and can't get a decent hair cut he should be mad at his hair stylist. next time you see me i will have a pony tail. this is my mid-life crisis. 106.7 fm the fan, sporters junkies thanks guys. >> thank you guys >> chef >> that is fun.

tunnel. president barack obama laying the ground work for his re-election bid during last night's state of the union address all eyes remain on the upcoming florida primary and new momentum of the newt gingrich, presidential campaign. joining us this morning, peter fen, peter good morning. >> good morning alison. republican political strategist, jim. >> nice to see you. >> good to see you too. let's start with the state of the union, i will ask you peter how did the president do. i thought it was a very strong up beat speech alison, clearly, he is laying out the plan to have a solid economy, not a lurching economy and i think there is a lot on that speech that republicans can agree with there is some that they are going to push back unclearly i don't think they will see the republicans rush to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires and the buffet rule is not something you are going to see widespread

agreement on. he did a good job on the issues of energy, education, really helping the middle class which is what we've got to do right now. >> jim a lot of talk of fairness. the fairness in the tax code, do you have a rebuttal to what peter says? >> i agree with peter there were a lot of things republicans agreed with which is when he said, god bless america, i think and good night. >> is that what it was? >> osama bin laden. >> the four more years, there were a couple -- you know the other thing which is i turned the volume off for a minute and you notice this is not a partisan thing whenever, whom ever the president says, they stand up and applause they look like trained seals, like joe biden with you throwing fish every once in awhile. they were jumping up and down. barking it was an interesting speech, clearly a campaign speech you know where he is going to go he is going to make

this class warfare and it was -- you could tell this is the beginning of his presidential campaign one more time. has he announced re-election peter? >> i think you can assume that is probably going to happen. >> it was a political speech. >> but, i think that one of the things that is so important is to lay out that vision thing, george bush used to say, but you are right, i happen to think the republicans are crazy. i would have adopted something like the buffet rule. look we got mitt romney paying 13.9% out there, and you've got most americans who are paying taxes middle class families paying 20, 25, 30% i think that sticks with people they say wait a minute, you guys have gotten wealthier and wealthier i am having trouble making ends meet. >> do you think that message did come across loud and clear.

heavens knows in the past that has been the criticism of this president. where is the message, let people know what you have done and what you are doing not the job creation. you know the president really doesn't have a record that he can run on per se other than osama bin laden and so, if you talk about the economy you talk about job creation, you know he talks about energy but doesn't mention you know the key stone excel pipeline which would create 10s of thousands of jobs he can't run on his record that is sure he is not going to do that, he is not going to -- >> jim. >> peter he is not. >> no, wait. pull back on this with you. [ overlapping voices ] 8 million jobs were lost during his administration. we have had 22 straight months of private sector job growth, 2.2 million jobs he saved the auto industry. folks like mitt romney said oh, no, let them go. >> yes, peter. >> 160,000 jobs.

>> you save the auto industry. >> america saved the auto industry. >> but he made the decision. >> [ overlapping voices ] to put those loans out there. >> how is the electric car doing. >> it is coming along fine. >> yeah, right. >> here is the deal, look, 25 years ago we had 30% of the jobs in america manufacturing jobs now it is 10. one of the things, there was a great article about apple and making all those iphones in china, his point is tax incentives you bring jobs home to the united states you get a tax break. >> that's all right. >> that is what i am trying to get some agreement going here. >> there is no agreement. >> okay but to say he hasn't done anything is not a fair thing. >> that's right he hasn't done anything. >> he hasn't done as much as you would like him to do. >> most americans. >> let's switch gears before we run out of time and talk about the florida primary coming up

newt gingrich, demand going into this. >> he has a lead but it is weak and as we saw in south carolina, a whole week is a lifetime mitt romney was up 8 or 9 points going into south carolina and lost by 13 points, i think that they have a debate again on thursday night debates matter people will pay attention to what is going on, so i think you don't really know what is going to happen yet. yes, he is the favorite today, but let's talk again next week. it could be something totally different >> i think jim is right. this is such a fluid race i don't think we have seen things bopping around if gingrich does get tracks in florida, that that is trouble. i mean, this thing is going to -- and jim and i were talking beforehand jim is right the republican establishment is going to go ball listic. >> we are showing peter, i did hear that last point, we are

showing the tax returns mitt romney did release his tax returns now we are talking about the montaging rich made when he was the his tore january -- this is the money -- historian, this is the money -- does it matter mitt romney made a whole bunch of money. >> he makes a lot of money pays taxes he is successful creates jobs all those things i think he should be less defensive and more on the offence. look i started a company i created jobs i created thousands of jobs that is a good thing that is what we want in this country, americans are clamoring for jobs. >> he is starting to do that after all, 3 .1 million dollars or whatever it was, newt gingrich made influenced, not a bad living either. and you know i think that he is a fixture let's face it. got to leave it there peter and jim, see you next week.

virginia's. from the president's speech was there anything that you liked. >> i like that he was talking about the american dream we all want to see that realized i like increasing number of manufacturing jobs in this nation. we need to get back to making things. i thought it was ap applicable he talked about all of the above energy policy i am in full agreement we need to develop all our energy sources especially natural gas off the coast of virginia i hope we make that happen. i am hopeful that direction now will take place with development of those resources. >> what were your concerns or frustrations about the speech? >> concerns were this, i heard last night about reduction in defense budgeting while at the same time the president said we are going to face a number of significant challenges around the world, those challenges are going to require a very strong

military, what i didn't hear was how are we going to achieve those strategic needs meeting defense needs of the nation at the same time making significant cuts to our defense budget on top of another potential round of cuts, i was very concerned how we are going to achieve that and make sure we keep in mind the men and women who defend this nation. >> one thing that is getting a lot of attention is president's proposal to increase the tax burden on the richest americans, sounded like those making over a million dollars a year what do you think about that? >> in times of economic challenge like now, now is not the time to be raising taxes. i do believe we need to reform our tax code to make it fair, to make it more equitable but we need to look how do we encourage job growth, help job creators not pick out certain segments of the population and say this is where the burden will be replaced i want to make sure our tax code encourages economic growth we need at this

time and don't put additional tax burden on folks right now regardless where they are in the economic spectrum. >> in the big scheme of things some would argue those making very good amounts of money big amounts of money a million dollars or more that it would be fairer for them to pay a higher share of taxes, do you disagree? >> i believe those folks are the job creators they invest in growing this economy i want to make sure they are now able to put their dollars into that growth and not have to send those dollars here to washington. i think our responsibility, in looking at the overall development of deficitdebt is get spending under control that has to happen first before anybody out there is willing to say listen i am going to send more money to washington. washington has to show it can be responsible in spending those dollars that has to happen first. >> in the gop response governor mitch daniels said quote no feature of the obama presidency

has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us. is that a fair assessment of this presidency? >> i believe all of us need to be looking at ways to lift up all elements of the american population that should be our job that is what the american people want us to be doing they don't want us to segment out certain groups and say well, we are going to place burdens on them or ask more of them than others everybody has to be part of this, that is central to what all of us have to do congress executive branch, everybody across the board and that includes local and state governments we all have that in our charge to make sure everybody is part of the challenges we face ahead in sacrifices needed to meet those. >> representative whitman from virginia's first district thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much. 8:28 a.m. now a look at other stories making headlines a man recovering after being rescued hundreds of feet, under ground.
