[♪...] >> stunning claims of betrayal against president obama from a heroine of the fort hood shooting rampage. on that day in 2009 then sergeant kimberly amongly was shot, and confronting major hassan and her partner after he shouted allah akbar, killing 13 soldiers, killing 13 soldiers and wounding another 32. now, she's seen in this picture, next to the first lady, munley, she was the first lady's guest at the 2010 state of the union address accusing the president of breaking the personal promise to help her. trace gallagher with the report. >> reporter: you remember the days after the shooting, kimberly munley was said again and again to be a hero along with her partner, really credited with stopping hassan during the shooting and this video, by the way is kind of graphic and show you this obtained by abc news and kind of shows the chaos in the aftermath, hunley and her partners were dealing with. soldiers and police trying to help the wounded and others, as you can see kind of lying in blood and then, at the 2010 state of the union, munley, as you said, sat next to the first lady, was very promine prominently place and now three years later munley was laid off from her base and she was a civilian cop at fort hood and she felt she was used as a political prop for political gain and she says the president broke his promise and she and her victims have been forgotten and betrade. listen to her. >> betrayal would be a good word, not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of. in fact, they've been neglected very badly. >> reporter: now, munley's main complaint the u.s. government has not designated the fort hood shooting as a terrorist attack, but as a workplace shooting and because of that victims are denied purple hearts and wider access to health and financial benefits. 148 victims and their relatives have now sued the department of defense to get the designation changed, among them the other hero in this case, sergeant mark todd. listen to him. >> it's not workplace violence, it is a terrorist act. this man was following orders from awlaki, performing his jihad. >> reporter: the pentagon now issued a statement and i'm quoting here, the department of defense is committed to the highest care of those in our military families. the department of defense is committed to the integrity of the on going court martial of hassan and won't further characterize the incident and won't change the designation and yet, authorities have said that hassan yelled allah akbar before he shot at fort hood and reportedly at the request of awlaki who was later killed in a drone attack. and the designation will not change. >> megyn: at least not for now. trace, thank you. for more on these claims, let's bring in monica crowley a fox news contributor and kirsten powers, also a fox news contributor. what a turnabout for this woman, this heroine who said she voted for barack obama in 2008, and she said it was a huge honor to be there next to the first lady, bigger than going on oprah which she also did and she says she feels betrayed and that they used her for political gain. monica, your thoughts. >> there are two parts to it. first the personal betrayal that sergeant munley feels because the president personally gave her his word that they would all be taken care of. so, there's a bit of hypocrisy that she's pointing to in the president's broken promises. the second part of this, which is the bigger story, obviously, is the designation of what happened at fort hood as workplace violence, which is patently absurd. major hassan for months leading up to this attack was passing out business cards that called himself soldier of allah. he was dressed in muslim garb, carrying a koran, increasingly radicalized, public speeches to his colleagues on the base radical islam and how to carry out jihad and on the attack, shouted out allah akbar and carrying out on the name of his faith and islam. it's clearly a terrorist attack and what they're saying is, look, we just want proper medical care and want our benefits due to us and we cannot get them. >> megyn: they're getting medical care and they're getting benefits, but there's a difference in the way you get care and benefits if you're wounded in combat or as a result of a terrorist act versus just a veteran who didn't serve overseas. >> that's right. >> megyn: so kirsten, here is the thing the from the army, to award a purple heart and want it declared a terrorist act. we have to declare it a foreign terrorist element this guy. but says to declare this soldier a foreign terrorist, we're told that it would have a profound effect on the ability to conduct a trial and seems to be suggesting the court martial of hassan could be jeopardized if they now start calling this terrorism. >> you know, okay. square this with the fact that they just, the drone attack on anwar awlaki an american citizen, they have no problem calling him a terrorist and killing him, but now calling this person a terrorist in the fort hood attack would make it a foreign terrorist attack? i mean, they've just completely lost me on this one. and i think that in all the things that monica laid out, you know, to say, well, this was clearly a terrorist attack, i actually could argue it's possible that somebody could behave that way and be kind of a nut-job, what makes this clearly a terrorist attack he was in communication with the awlaki, the president think he's enough of a terrorist he killed him without due process, to me it's an open and shut case, there's no-- you can't have both ways be true. >> why won't they do it? why wouldn't we declare this a terrorist attack, the guy is yelling allah akbar before he kills a dozen service members on an army base as they're about to deploy to afghanistan, by the way. why? why, monica, why went they do it? >> i'm speculating, but i think there's politics involved. in the president's first term he made a big show of saying that he was using the drones, as kirsten points out, that we were decimating al-qaeda. that al-qaeda was on the run and over the last four years we know that that is not the case, that al-qaeda is actually on the rise in places like north africa, and elsewhere. so, to have this kind of terrorist attack happen on u.s. soil, that kind of destroys the narrative and it dove tails with what we've seen come out of benghazi. that was more immediate coming up to last year's election. but there is a real reticence on the part this have administration to call radical islam by its name, to call an act of terror against the united states in our interests. >> and this guy, john mccue, the secretary of the army also told abc that he was unaware of any complaints from the fort hood victims even though he's been named as a defendant in the lawsuit filed last november and we've had victims on the show months and months and months ago, how could he be unaware. >> our government has done an abominable job and that's another segment, i think, but the other-- the other thing that really concerns me about this is that the government was complicit, actually, in this attack because they had known for a year before that the fort hood shooter was in communication with anwar awlaki, who again, they killed for being such a dangerous terrorist. so, you know, they allowed these people to continue to work with this person who was a ticking time bomb, and ended up killing all of these people. so, you know, they have-- they bear is direct responsibility for what happened and the people that were killed. >> megyn: i've got to run, republican lawmakers are trying to push through the legislation for the status of the victims at fort hood. >> no more political correctness as kirsten points out. >> megyn: thank you both so much. >> thank you. >> megyn: two visions for helping the middle class laid out by president obama and marco rubio last night and in three minutes we'll ask militia reagan about the duelling proposals and the road ahead for our struggling economy. >> it's our unfinished task to make sure that this government works

night both detailed how they think america's economy can get back on track. >> it is our unfinished task to make sure that this government works on behalf of the many. not just the few. that it encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation. >> more government isn't going to help you get ahead, it's going to hold you back. more government isn't going to create more opportunities, it's going to limit them. more government isn't going to inspire new businesses, new private sector jobs, it's going to create uncertainty. >> megyn: joining me now, political consultant michael reagan, chairman of the reagan group. michael, watch to you on this ash wednesday. wow, it seemed to me when i listened to those two men last night that marco rubio and the republican party are not ceding any ground when it comes to the middle voters? >> and they shouldn't. you look at the president of the united states. the fact of the matter is all he did was layout more government, more government, more government. that has not helped the middle class. just ask those people who got the paycheck since january 1st how much more they're being paid this year than last year and they'll all say i'm getting less money this year than i got last year. this president talks about helping the middle class. the only class helped is sitting in front of him last night in the congress of the united states. >> it's interesting to see the pundits and their take how the messages came out last night and "the washington post," described president obama's plan as one of economic fairness, shared sacrifice, and aggressive government. now, that the president tried to offer as the solution to the middle class. you know, that this shared sacrifice will be pinching the risk and aggressive and big government. marco rubio came out and said you can have a better life in the middle class, but you don't have it make taxpayers pay more, you need more taxpayers. >> that's right. you need more taxpayers, you need more jobs. you'll never see a photo-op of the president of the united states with people who just received a job standing behind him because people are losing jobs. we're contracting. i think one of the great lines marco rubio talked about last night when he talked about, i just want to help my neighbor. and that's when all of us in fact would like to do, but your neighbor and your neighborhood are sinking because the government has gotten so big that in fact, they're taking away from those people who in fact would create the jobs, would create opportunity, and would put the middle class back to work in the united states of america. it does nothing to help this young girl i talked to just yesterday from starbucks, 21 years of age, bought a new car just before christmas and now wondering if she can make the payment because she's making 200 less a month now in paycheck money than she was making when she bought the car in december. last night's speech by barack obama did nothing to help that 21-year-old girl working at starbucks taking care of her life. it did nothing for her. and it will do nothing for her. >> megyn: it seemed like in the last election, president obama did an effective job of convincing the middle he was for them and romney was for the rich. marco rubio came out last night and said our free enterprise system is the source of middle class prosperity, but barack obama believes it's the cause of our problems. he's trying to tell them that he also wants to help them up, but he has a much different approach, that the republicans have a much different approach and it's because of things like that that karl rove called him the most effective communicator since a man named ronald reagan. i want to get your thoughts on that right after this break. i gave birth to my daughter on may 18th, five days later, i had a massive heart attack. bayer aspirin was the first

[ male announcer ] e-trade. less for us. more for you. >> fox news alert. 12 hours after his big push on the economy, president obama hits the road to sell his plan and take some heat over his economic claims. brand new hour here of "america live." the president took a quick trip to lobby for the jobs plan he laid out in the state of the union address. the proposals he says will not add to the deficit. the rnc seizing on that going after the president with a new ad questioning the president's claim. >> i will not sign plan that will adds one dime to our deficit. >> the only way, add one dime to our deficit. >> washington started taking responsibilities for every dime so it doesn't add a dime to our deficit. >> megyn: chief white house correspondent ed henry joins us live from the white house with the latest, hey, ed. >> reporter: good to see you, the white house pushed back on that ad and other attacks from republicans about the president's state of the union as they say the president is not really asking for a lot of new federal money, instead wants to repurpose some money already in the system and put tax reform on the table, something speaker boehner talked about as well. eliminating deductions and loopholes and what not, that the white house needs to bring in about 400 million dollars that could pay for some of the programs the president laid out last night and he's out on the road last night, he's in north carolina giving a speech, trying to say that his focus now is all about the economy and the middle class. he's not using the word spending, instead he keeps saying he wants investments. take a listen. >> i talked about making sure that the kids are getting early childhood education, make sure that our high schools are preparing our children for a high-tech economy. and making sure that colleges are affordable and accessible to every single american. and i believe we attract new jobs to america by investing in new sources of energy and new infrastructure and the next generation of high wage, high-tech american manufacturing. >> reporter: now, speaker boehner was very quick to push back today that on some of these populous proposals that the president came up with last night, including the increase to the federal minimum wage of 7.25 an hour to $9 an hour and speaker boehner saying that's maybe going to help some people in the short-term and hurt small businesses that may then layoff some workers and he thinks it will actually lead to jobs being lost and speaker boehner also charges that he's heard this refrain from the president before. that if he comes up with new programs and still pay for it. take a listen. >> i think most americans believe that we've got to stop government overregulation that is strainingling our economic growth. yesterday the president offered of more of the same, higher taxes and more stimulus spending. >> reporter: the big picture, democrats at the white house last night briefed by white house officials before the state of the union what the president would be pitching had told me behind closed doors, white house officials were a lot more nervous privately about the state of the economy than they're letting on publicly, touting the fact that car sales are you up, the housing market are starting to turn around and positive signs like that. on the other hand we see economic growth going in the wrong direction, unemployment going in the wrong direction again and what i'm told by top democrats and white house officials are signaling today's trip to north carolina is about the start of a six week push by the president to focus back on the economy, megyn. >> i like your purple pink combination with the blue background and haven't listening to the last two lines were you saying, i've been admiring it. >> reporter: that's good to hear. >> megyn: i want to let you know. he looks nice, doesn't he ed. especially today. besides the jobs push and call for immigration reform and warning about the new rules on global warming, there was a powerful moment at last night' state of the union address where president obama called for a vote on gun control. >> hadiya's parents, nick and cleo are here in the chamber, along with two dozen americans whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence. they deserve a vote. they deserve a vote. [applaus [applause]. they deserve a vote. gabby giffords deserves a vote. the families of newtown deserve a vote. >> megyn: but who's stopping the vote? steve hayes is the senior writer with the weekly standard joins me now. steve, jennifer ruben of "the washington post" has an interesting piece in which she says flat-out that this is manipulative theaterics and it's bizarre, because there is he' somebody he needs to point to to get a vote on gun control and it happens to be a democrat by the name of harry reid. >> right, a democrat by the name of harry reid, who has opposed some of the very kind of things that president obama is calling for a vote on this time. so, yeah, i think the president should nudge people in his own party to do the things that he wants them to do. we haven't seen him do it on gun control, certainly didn't see him do it on immigration and never did it on senate budge proposal. >> megyn: she calls it an empty gesture untied to political reality. if you watched that moment, he seemed to be implying that there were lawmakers there and one would assume it was lawmakers on the opposite aisle from the president who are going to stop gabby giffords and other victims of gun violence from getting a vote on this legislation. that's not the reality right now in the u.s. congress. >> you're right and look, anytime the president speaks in a venue like this, he's got several audiences and clearly what he's saying is not for the members of congress in front of him. as you point out. harry reid could have a vote anytime he wants to and i think the president trying to build a public case to get, to rally public opinion so that folks out in the country particularly in the red states where such gun control measures are not likely to be popular will push their members of congress just to do something and push harry reid to hold the vote. >> megyn: that's the problem that the president has. that's what's really going on here, he said he's going to in the second term appeal more to the american people than the lawmakers and usually saying on the opposite side, but in this case on his own side as well. a point that general jennifer r writes as follows. i imagine at this part of the seat. red state legislators are breaking into a cold sweat. the 60th vote on the unpopular obamacare and now the president wants them to vote on an assault weapons ban and tax hikes, climate control legislation? it's a political nightmare she says for them. >> yeah, i think there are a handful of democratic senators from red states who are going be to be increasingly uncomfortable with what the president wants to do particularly with the agenda items that are, you could say sort of cultural issues, whether it's immigration, gun control, you name it. the president has made clear he intends to follow through on these pushes. he said shortly after sandy hook he was going to make a serious and concerted push for gun control measures. we're seeing him do it. democrats in red states are not going to like that. it's going to put them in increasingly difficult issue, and you're likely to see more with immigration and democratic senators in red states on fiscal and economic issues. i mean, the comments the president made last night on debt and deficit i thought giving short shrift on those issues they matter particularly in red states, that's tough for those democratic senators as well. >> megyn: so what happens going forward? because if these red state democrats and what is it, six seats that the democrats need, a net gain of six seats, the republicans need to gain in order to control the senate chamber. >> right. >> megyn: so, it matters how these constituents in the red states see these democratic senators. if they go along with the president's agenda are there therefore jeopardizing that party's control of the senate? >> absolutely. i don't think there's any question about it. right now, i would say that the field mass tilted pretty seriously against democrats for the senate in 2014 precisely because so many of these democrats were swept into office when president obama first won election in 2008. so, there was this wave election, a lot of them came in on his coat tails and asking for an agenda that is unapologetically more progressive than the one he pushed earlier in the first term. he ran in 2012 as a progressive president. he won. the president thinks this was an affirmation of that record, i think rather understandably from his perspective. he's now pushing an agenda that's going to put some of these seats in jeopardy. they're going to choose on one hand and loyal to the president on the other. >> sort of what we saw with obamacare and we know how that turned out. thank you for being here. >> you bet, thanks, megyn. >> megyn: coming up, a possible new fix to one of the biggest problems this past election day. how some states are looking to avoid the frustration. and the heart attack grill faces legal problems after the unofficial spokesman dies of a heart attack. he's not the first spokesperson of the heart attack grill to die. and look how the waitresses are dressed. and that's the sh stilick. we'll ask the police chief why christopher dorner, an accused mass murderer has gained a following, and some supporting his cause and getting chris dorner tattoos. after this break. >> he was dressed in camouflage and a big assault sniper type rifle, i couldn't see for sure if he had a side arm or not and he had a vest on, you know, like a bullet-proof vest. he was he dressed up to do some damages it looked like. a. a lot more flavor.

[ anouncer ] compare new griddle melts yourself. just $4. it's like a sexy sandwich. it's an epic breakfast sandwich. >> details are emerging in the apparent endings to the biggest manhunt in california history. the police scouring the area around big bear lake for days looking for christopher dorner, the revenge seeking ex-police officer and triple murder suspect and may have been hiding out in a cabin across from the police command post and yet a man believed to be dorner bolted from hiding and barricaded himself in another cabin. late in the day a furious shootout and a fire that burned that cabin to the ground. adam housley live from the big bear area today, adam. >> reporter: right now authorities say they're pretty confident that the remains inside that burned out cabin you alluded to are those of christopher dorner and you mentioned that chase up to that cabin. there's an unsung hero here, two cleaning ladies that came across dorner in the cabin and clean it freshen it up, if you will and found them as they came inside and basically zip tied them and stole their car. one. women got away from the zip ties and called in the purple nissan and we talked to authorities and there was a good chance he might have been able to make it down the hill because a lot of people had start today dial back the search and felt he may be got away. and the fact she got the call and helped to track him down and ended up in that cabin and it's all about forensics and lapd says the 50 families watched closely just until the forensics come back and clear everything and as that goes on, of course, a solemn time in. talking about four people killed in the last nine days, the couple of course, in irvine, the daughter of the police officer in los angeles. the police officer sitting at a stop light on thursday evening, early friday morning that was killed and then-- i'm sorry, thursday early morning i should say killed from corona and then you had a riverside and then you had the san bernardino county sheriff's deputy killed yesterday and four people killed and that riverside police officer that was killed at the stop light on early thursday morning he was laid to rest today. michael crain. that's taking place of course and megyn, we'll have another officer funeral coming up in a couple of days. as people were breathing a sigh of relief here, they're solemn about the fact that they've lost a couple of their best. >> megyn: absolutely, thank you. dorner evaded a massive manhunt in recent days and they start today win facebook fan pages, dozens of them with online followers cheering him on. and someone who feels different about mr. dorner, bill bretton, and you were headed up the police department in l.a. when this guy got fired and he was not happy with you, you why among the people listed in his manifesto, accused you of having a lack of ethics and conspiring to wrong a just individual. your lutz to his apparent demise. >> surely as indicated by his actions, not just an individual, a murderer plain and simple. the facebook followers how sad for them, it's their idea. and he was basically found guilty of the charges leveled against him i fired him i was the chief of police at that time. that discharge was upheld by a california court that found no problems with the evidence presented and procedures and this individual that could not accept rejection like almost everybody does. they pick themselves up, dust themselves off and move on. >> megyn: so our viewers know, may not have been following that chosely accused another officer of police brutality and that claim was dismissed as unfounded and he was terminated for filing a false claim or complaint. and those to support them the lapd has a long history of racism in particular against black officers. there was a piece in the l.a. times, an op-ed by someone named connie rice, a subculture that discussed there and mistreatment of black officer and you started changing things in the lapd. but did that exist and is that what could be behind some of this support for this man? >> i think that's exactly what's happening and that was the history of the los angeles police department. it was a racist organization, it was a brutal organization and it had awful relations with the african-american community. not all of its members. the majority of its members did not engage in that activities, but felt that the leadership tolerated it and one of the reasons they had two of the worst race riots in history. and over the time, the department has changed and is today one of the most progressive. it is a minority-majority pirate. 40% latino, 15% african-american and 11%. asian representation, gay, lesbian trans sexual representation and 22% of the captains and above are african-american. >> megyn: what do you make of fact that they are reopening his case, you know, that he -- this whole thing that got the whole thing. they're reopening it, do you think that's going to stay reopened now that it's dead. >> it exemplifies the openness, if you will, the transparency of the organization saying look, we have nothing to hide. that he was charged, he was found guilty. the processes. all during this time the oversite of a federal judge so there's nothing to hide here. we're not ashamed of this action. he was found guilty and appropriately discharged and so this is chief beck's decision and i support it, i have no issues with it. technically reviewing my actions, i'm not concerned about my action. >> megyn: the guy who got your old job. >> good guy. >> megyn: what do you make of now, as we leave this horrible thing behind us, how do the police, who were targeted, on the list, on security detail. how do they recover and move forward from this. >> i had an opportunity this morning to talk to several of them i know quite well, and congratulate them on getting out of house arrest. >> megyn: right. >> and in their homes almost a week now and they were very happy to begin the process to starting to emerge again. psychologically this is something unheard of that families are targeted. that's a line you don't cross. so it's even more egregious the actions of this individual that threatening the families, total innocence, not just the officers, but the families. so for him to be held up as some type of role model and his grievances as justified, his actionses, i'm sorry, is grievances in no way, shape or form justify any of the things that occurred this past week. >> megyn: bill bratton thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> megyn: and rudy guiliani and this is the man, cleaning up new york city, and los angeles, we're grateful to you sir. >> thank you. >> megyn: all the best to you. pope benedict's resignation, faced with a problem it hasn't had in nearly 600 years. our own shepard smith is live at the vatican next. [applause] [ female announcer ] research suggests cell health plays a key role throughout our lives. one a day women's 50+ is a complete multivitamin designed for women's health concerns as we age. it has 7 antioxidants to support cell health. one a day 50+. >> well, the cat arthritic-- the catholic church has a problem, how it plans to deal with the unusual circumstance having two popes alive at the same time. shepard smith is live in rome. so, shep, what will the catholic church do with two popes, like a retired ceo calling up the new guy, i wouldn't have done it that way. >> they hope not and they will not be the case here. according to the church. the current pope will step aside actually on the 28th of this month and go to a papal retreat and at eight o'clock the papsy ends and 15th of march or so, give or take, call the cardinals in, elect a new pope and the new pope will be the new pope and that's it. the other problem, pope benedict will still write and pray and issue papers and of course, the new pope will do the same. and what some catholics are questioning now, there's a matter of significance to the church and one says one thing and another says another and then what do you do? well, they only see it's not the case and everybody on the same page. there will be no split. be no overlap that everything will just be fine. >> megyn: does pope benedict have any sort of a say who the successor will be, does he take part in the conclave? >> no, in fact he won't be here at the time. he will stay in a small residence in the back of vatican city right over my shoulder, in a cloistered sort of area beyond the gardens, in the smallest city in the world and i won't participate at all. he says he will offer counsel if it's requested of him by the new pope whoever that turns out to be, but otherwise, no, staying out of it. >> megyn: and where does he live out the remainder of his days. he's fot goi is not going to be to the one of suburbs and eating pizza or the vatican? >> a couple of days ago, they told us he'd be in the cloistered spot beyond the gardens, there's a papal retreat at the beach, a camp david for the popes and be at the beach. when i came for his audience this morning, some of our producers, amy kellogg was there as well he seemed very frail and he had a very difficult time getting around. and he said that his-- that he is, his strength is being sapped before his own eyes and started a year ago when he was in cuba and mexico on that visit and he said since then, he just is deteriorating mentally and physically and that's the reason he's doing this for the good of the church. he can't do all he believes the catholic church needs him to do so he's stepping aside. i think he's going to, i don't know, chill for a while and relax and pray and write. >> my last question for you, i actually studied abroad and spent almost a year living in italy. and how do you get sent to rome and i'm sitting here in the new york studio? >> i think you were on vacation at the time, megyn. >> megyn: oh, two popes in a row, you've been sent to rome and i'm stuck in the studio i'll get you for this, shepard. >> i'm sorry. >> megyn: arriverderci. >> ar >>. and charles krauthammer suggested on the factor last night, that what the president wants is a european style social democracy and simply won't admit it. we'll debate that claim next. plus the heart attack grill may be facing problems after its spokesperson has a heart attack and dies after eating thele grill. >> do i have a moral conflict serving people high calories, the caloric equivalence, i'm simply doing so with an honest message. >> just a reminder for you, a memorial service for riverside police officer michael crain is underway right now in california, this is the national cemetery at riverside where hundreds of mourners are saying goodbye. officer crain was sot and killed as he and his partner with at a red light, ambushed according to authorities by ex-cop chris dorner, we understand he was a marine corps veteran, two times in kuwait and leaves behind a wife and two children. conservative columnist charles krauthammer suggests last night before the state of the union address that what president obama really wants is a european style social democracy. government programs, high taxes and an equality for all mindset. here he is on the o'reilly factor. >> and what is president obama in the core, a community organizers, a man who wants to go against inequality to reduce inequality and to bring what the left-- he's a man of the left, will call social justice. what's the biggest model that have in the world? western europe. he's a european social democrat. >> megyn: fair? joining me now benf the icon radio program and ben ferguson show and sally kohn, a blogger and fox news contributor. >> megyn: your response, sally. >> i don't understand what's so european about ideals in the tradition of democratic and republican leadership the last several years, but poll after poll shows supported by the majority of americans, including, by the way, most republicans. i mean, most americans want to see inequality addressed, don't want to see our government continuing to just help the wealthiest of the wealthy and big business. most americans including most gun owners support common sense gun laws. most people think we have to pass citizenship for aspiring americans so i'm not entiring where this pot shot comes from. >> megyn: i think charles is speaking about the economic policy not so much the spanish program. and i was talking to a liberal talking about this address and address being about economic fairness and government. >> look what the president did last night, proposed 20 new

ben wedemen. ben, i want to start with pope benedict. how will he spend his last 11 days now as pope? >> well, right now what we see is a much larger crowd that he's addressing in st. peter's square. numbers as high as 150,000 people on a normal sunday it wouldn't be even half that number. now, he's going to give this angelus prayers and address the faithful in a number of languages. right now in italian but also be speaking with them in english, polish, german. also today, however, he's going to go into a week of retreat for the period of lent and during that time he will be meeting in prayer and contemplation with many senior bishops and cardinals and, obviously, when that week comes to an end he will resume his normal activities, which include public audiences meeting with senior officials within the vatican and from without, as well. it is going to be a very busy last 1 1 days for benedict xvi before he steps down on the 28th of february at 8:00 p.m. rome time. >> ben, i know we heard a new pope is expected to place by the end of march, is there a lot of time to pass without having a pope and how do the college of cardinals start that whole process? >> according to vatican regulations, between the time that the papal seat is vacated, either through death or resignation, there is a 15-day period which allows the cardinals who will participate in the conclave to come to rome and sit for the conclave and elect a successor to the pope. in this case, what we're hearing, however, since unlike in previous instances the pope, actually, we know when he's going to leave his position. the senior vatican spokesman yesterday suggested that the conclave could be moved up a bit. we know that the cardinals do want to be done with the job of electing a new pope by palm sunday, which is the 23rd of march. and the vatican officials have said that they are confident there will be a new pope by easter, which is at the end of march. so, we may find that because of these

[♪...] martha: brand new piece of information now in the christopher dorner case. we can now report, apis reporting his driver's license with his name on is found in the charred cabin. they're still working to identify the remains of the man they believe is christopher dorner. according to ap the ex-policeman's california driver's license with his name on it was indeed found indeed inside that cabin. bill: she says she has been betrayed by her president. former officer kimberly munley, one. heroes in the fort hood massacre, says president obama has broken his promise to assure the victims were taken care of. >> betrayal would be the a good word. not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of. in fact they have been neglected very badly. >> so the president's promise was not fulfilled? >> no. bill: hundredly is not alone. with other fort hood victims she is suing the military claiming the government is calling the massacre workplace violence is nothing short of political correctness and means less medical care and benefits for we have a senior legal fellow at the heritage foundation. good morning to you. we heard this from other victims but when she uses the word betrayed and speaks about it for the first time it gets another headline. >> yeah. got to hand it to this woman. it is pretty courageous of her to say that. look all victims like her and those involved in the shooting and any victim in the criminal justice system including the military justice system deserve to be treated with respect and deserve the services that they have earned and so i'm hopeful that this segment and other segments and light put on this, the lawsuit, action in congress, will bring some light to this and corrective action can be taken. bill: you wonder why it has taken so long. what is the holdup here? >> well, number one, bill, there is an ongoing trial. they're still in pretrial stages of the hasan case. i think some people are reluctant to do anything that might in their mind disrupt the trial or cause a negative impact on the trial. i see it as a little bit differently. look, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt like any defendant in any american court but if they change the rules so these folks could be awarded purple hearts, if they're deemed worthy of it, and i think many people believe they are, i do, that won't have any negative legal impact on the trial. in fact it might help things because, you would see somebody like the defense attorney saying well, you actually got awarded a purple heart to testify the way you did. they could come back, say, no i got a purple heart because i earned it. bill: workplace violence when the guy is shouting a la talk bar in front of you. munley shot three times. another victim shot six times in the state of washington almost a year ago. abc has exclusive video. that is the report from "fox files" done last june. in that story we show how sean man something ticked off. he feels the same way munley feels. so here's the exclusive video from abc. roll this here. bill: in uniform. in uniform. on post in the u.s. that is stunning to watch, cully. >> it really is, bill. the look the fort hood shooting report that came out of the pentagon left a lot to be desired. we talked about this before. they didn't mention the motivations this accused had. they didn't mention in detail the contact that he had with al-awlaki now dead the american cleric who was killed by a drone strike. the fact is that these folks deserve to be treated with respect and deserve services and i'm hopeful, just like this network did a lot to get the marine who was jailed in mexico out of jail because they put a lot of attention on this, that the attention drawn to these folks who feel the way they do for good reason will help them in their plight. bill: well the more people that report on it, perhaps, that it comes their way. >> yeah. bill: but when i think about the time i sat down with sean manning, and what he is going through in his young marriage and trying to figure out in his own mind, you know where the future lies. and you know, his own health and well-being he is just one of several. >> yeah. bill: now we see it again and we'll see what happens here. >> let me add this if i could add one thing, bill. bill: quickly. >> the army secretary is a good man. he is a solid citizen. he wants to do right. remember he was a former republican congressman from new york and i'm sure the secretary mchugh puts his radaro everything he can to get it right. bill: let's hope so. charles simpson out of washington today. martha. >> thanks. martha: florida senator marco rubio was the man up last night to deliver the republican response to the state of the union. so how did he do? we'll look at the starkly different mess than that he -- message than he had from the presidents. we'll get a fair and balanced panel how marco rubio did. >> more government isn't going to help you get ahead. it will hold you back. more government will not create more opportunities. it is going to limit them. and more government isn't going to inspire new ideas. new honey bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain. here we go. honey cornflakes and chunks of greek yogurt. i'm tasting both the yogurt and the honey at the same time. i'm like digging this yogurt thing. i feel healthy. new honey bunches of oats greek. when i take a picture of this check, it goes straight to the bank. oh. oh look the lion is out! no mommy no! don't worry honey, it only works on checks. deposit checks from your smartphone with chase quickdeposit. just snap a picture, hit send and done. take a step forward and chase what matters. bill: he is no ordinary joe because he is banana joe. he is best in show at the westminster dog show. >> best in show winner, for the 137th westminster kennel club dog show, the affen pinscher. bill: oh, he is a stud, too. martha: he is so cute. bill: really is. looks like banana joe is going out on top. the owner says he will retire back to the native holland. back to europe he goes. but not before he put on a show here in new york. martha: when you name a dog, you think like, that name really suits that dog. somehow when i look at this dog, i'm not thinking banana joe. bill: no. martha: banana joe so me is big yellow lab, not a cute little fluffy black dog. does not look like a banana dog. bill: joe was in control the entire time. that was one confident dog. go joe. >> now from the westminster dog show to the vatican. that is an interesting turn this morning. an emotional scene is playing out at the vatican today as pope benedict xvi speaks publicly for the first time since he handed in his resignation. thousands of people in the crowd repeatedly interrupting him with applause throughout. many had tears in their eyes according to those on the scene. when he spoke the 85-year-old explained his decision to step aside in this way. listen. >> translator: i did this in full liberties for the good of the church. i felt felt almost physically during these not easy days the strength of your love and prayers for me. continue to pray for me, the church and the future pope and the lord will guide us. martha: going to be a very interesting next six weeks to watch in the catholic church. amy kellogg joins us now in rome. amy, tell us a little bit more about what he had to say this morning. >> reporter: well, he said that he was really digging into his conscience, guided by god in making this decision, martha. there has just been so much reaction. the italian press, for example, is just going on and on about the facts or the thought maybe it was the politics of the vatican that really drove this german pope to his decision to step down. other people saying that they're disappointed that, and still shocked that he has made this decision because the pope, after all, answers only to god. so how could he take this decision to step down. others are saying bravo. this was a very modern, progressive and fabulous decision for him to make and set as positive precedent for the future. today people listened to him for the first time, not up close and personal but right there in the same chapel, in the same church, in the cathedral. they said that they were, they saw his humanity and they were moved. >> translator: i felt badly because this is a person who answers to god. we didn't expect this but maybe in this world we have flown too high and this was a very human gesture. >> reporter: right now there's the ash wednesday service at that the pope is leading and then he has a few more engagements before he steps down on the 28th of february, martha. martha: amy, thank you so much. bill: what a week that will be. in a moment here back to california, do police have their man? we're about to find out. live in california next. i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free -- it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. super poligrip free made the kiwi an enjoyable experience. [ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip. we were out when it happened. by the time we called the police, there wasn't much they could do. i felt so helpless. we were out when it happened. but adt quickly called the police. i felt like it was over right away. feels like it's still not over. we lost our digital photos, financial records, things that insurance simply can't replace. [ male announcer ] you can't predict when bad things will happen. but you can help protect yourself with the fast-alarm reonse of adt. we're always there for your family. with more monitoring centers, more ways to keep up with life at home. and 24/7 monitoring against burglary, fire, and high levels of carbon monoxide. starting at just over $1 a day. call now and get adt installed for just $99. isn't your family worth america's number-one security company? i wish i had adt. i'm glad we had adt. [ male announcer ] get adt installed for just $99. and ask about adt pulse, advanced home management here today. adt. always there. martha: we start with this fox news alert. the manhunt for a rogue ex-policeman appears to be over today. there is the burnt-out cabin where christopher dorner apparently made his final stand and what a final stand it was between him and the police in big bear, california. the ap just reporting moments ago that they can confirm that his driver's license was indeed found inside that rubble in that cabin. and that tells us really the first clue that we have to getting confirmation that he was in there. which we believe is the case. brand new hour starts now of "america's newsroom." good morning, everybody. glad to have you with us today. i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning as well. that week long search ended when dorner barricaded himself in a cabin and got into a intense firefight with the police. a local tv station was there when it happened. have a listen. [gunfire] here is how this all went down. police say a cleaning crew stumbled on dorner at a cabin they thought was empty. dorner took two maids hostage. about 12:20 in the afternoon local time one of those maids broke free and called 911 and said dorner took off in a purple nissan. 20 minutes later police see dorner and a chase begins. dorner apparently crashes the car. hijacks another one before crashing and escaping in the woods. around 4:00, local sheriffs deputies get in a shootout with a man believed to be dorner barricaded him in an empty cabin. two officers injured. 20 minutes later the cabin was engulfed in flames. no word how that fire started. 9:00 p.m., the burned out cabin still too hot to enter and more than two hours later confirmation that charred human remains were found inside that cabin. martha: alicia acuna joins us now, live from big bear, california. so what happens today, alicia? >> reporter: well, martha, some work will need to be done to identify the remains that were found inside that cabin and that will be done by the forensic investigators. you mentioned the driver as license, personal items. that obviously gives us a huge indication and officers say that they're pretty, pretty sure that this manhunt is over. you can see what is left of the cabin where dorner tried to barricade himself earlier while holed up but, as you mentioned at another residence two maids walked in on him and he tied up and stole their car. that is point one on this map here. one of the maids breaks free, calls the cops. the cops locate dorner and the stolen car. he crashes it and takes off and carjacks somebody else. that occurs in location number two on the map. take a listen. >> i saw some movement in the trees and it was christopher dorner. he came out onto the road out of the snow and he pointed his big rifle at me and my truck. i stopped, put my truck in park, put my hands up and he said, i don't want to hurt you, just get out and start walking up the road and take your dog with you. he was calm. i was calm. i would say i was in fear for my life but there was no panic. he tell me what to do and i did it. >> reporter: that takes us to location number three on this map, the cabin where the man had come to a dramatic end. now, martha, we're expecting updates today from the l.a.p.d. as well as the san bernardino sheriffs department. martha. martha: boy, it is a very tough day for the san bernardino sheriffs department because they lost one of their own in this shootout yesterday. what can you tell us about that, alicia? >> reporter: yeah. that's right. there were two deputies who were shot in that shootout that happened at the cabin and one died of his wounds at the loma linda hospital and the other one sustained very serious wound and could require multiple surgeries. california governor jerry brown is expected to attend the funeral of riverside police officer michael crane who dorner ambushed at a stoplight. so when one of these news conferences that we're supposed to have today has been scheduled for later in the day so that many of the officials can attend this first of what will be four funerals. martha? martha: thank you so much. more on that later. bill: this entire ordeal began last week in los angeles of the investigators say that dorner murdered the daughter of a retired l.a. police captain and her fiance in retaliation for his being fired back in tween. more than 50 other officers and their families also named in dorner's online manifesto. the mayor of l.a. taking time to thank police for all their efforts to keep the rest of the community safe. >> i also want to say something about the men and women and their families who were targeted. i've called the a number of them over the last few days to tell them that our hearts and prayers are with them. none of us can man what they have had to go through, what their children have had to go through because of the threats of christopher dorner and i just want to thank the members of the los angeles police department who put their lives on the line every single day. bill: there are investigations now into dorner's claims of racism within the department. you can imagine now what we believe is a resolution finally in the end, how much relief there is in that community. martha: yeah. bill: a long time for that. martha: in many ways how long this went on and the huge effort that was underway to find this guy. and as we've seen before he was not all that far ain end. all right. we have more coming up on all of this. bill: certainly do. yet another of the president's nominees for cabinet facing a grilling on the hill. the confirmation hearing for jack lew as treasury secretary just getting underway. he is a former executive at the bailed out banking giant citigroup. served at the president's chief of staff. one republican senator already threatening to block his confirmation. >> normally you don't filibuster cabinet people. we try not to do that. it is not done often, maybe almost never in the senate but this is a big deal. bill: a big deal. mike emanuel is on the hill. we understand there is something jack lew said that may come back to bite him today. what is that, mike? >> reporter: that's right, bill. we expect some tough questions inside that senate finance committee hearing about jack lew's role at citigroup. obviously they got a taxpayer-funded bailout. what was he doing at citigroup and did it contribute to the ultimate financial collapse at the end of the bush administration that required taxpayers to step in and rescue wall street? we also expect we will get some heat for his personal invests in tax havens in the cayman islands, something that mitt romney and republicans ha gotten hammered for by democrats. we found out that jack lew invested in kay ma'am -- kay islands to take advantage of tax havens. in terms of comments, 2011, jack lew made this statement. it is an accurate statement that our current spending will the no be increasing the debt. we stopped spending money that we don't have and yet here we are several years later and a trillion dollar deficits continue, bill. bill: the republicans believe that jack lou lied under oath? are they making that claim, mike? >> reporter: at the very least republicans believe he was selling white house spin when he was testifying before the senate budget committee of. the top republican on the budget committee, jeff sessions says he goes further than that. he sent a letter and he writes it was a key moment in a deliberate art -- art ve that thet that lead the president's budget put us on a sustainable fiscal path when it was no where close. the president's budget over ten years lays out a plan would essentially build $13 trillion in debt. jeff sessions says he believes jack lew is deliberately lying, expect some fireworks in that hearing moments from now. bill: we shall. headlines momentarily. thanks, mike emanuel on the hill in that hearing. martha: let's swing overseas where there are new concerns about iran's efforts to go nuclear. the islamist state saying they're installing a new generation of centrifuges at the main facility making nuclear fuel. this comes as iran talks with united nations inspectors as they investigate the suspected weapons-related tests. they say they will only make the centrifuges for making low level enriched-uranium. a lot people are concerned that may not be the case. bill: we were talking about north korea yesterday whether plutonium or uranium. that is lot closer to achieving your goals. >>> 4,000 people stranded on a cruise ship for yet another day with barely enough power to run the toilets. do they have food? is it running out? people sleeping in tents on the ship's deck? i mean what a mess that must be. we will talk with the husband of one of the passengers about what he's hearing about his own wife on booed. martha: -- board. martha: republican rising star senator marco rubio gave the republican response to the state of the union last night. our panel takes a look on how he did. >> the tax increases and the deficit spending you proposed will hurt middle class families. it will cost them their raises. it will cost them their benefits. it may even cost some of them their jobs. [ female announcer ] with 40 delicious progresso soups at 100 calories or less, there are plenty of reasons people are saying "progress-oh!" share your progress-oh! story on facebook. bill: after president obama finishes his address senator marco rubio immediately hit back with the official republican response. our chief political correspondent carl cameron is live on the story in washington now. carl, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, bill. marco rubio basically argued that the president is continuing to grow government and pile up debt and this really was the biggest watched speech of any republican since mitt romney lost the election last year and part of what rubio was trying to do is close the book on that and combat a lot of the class warfare rhetoric over the last election and of the democratic administration and mr. obama and the white house, that republicans are somehow against the middle class and minorities. here is little bit from marco rubio last night. >> the favorite attack of all that those of us who don't agree with him, that we only care about rich people. mr. president, i still live in the same working class neighborhood i grew up in. my neighbors are not millionaires. the tax increases and deficit spending you proposed will hurt middle class families. it will cost them their raises. it will cost them their benefits. so mr. benefit i don't oppose your plans because i want to protect the rich. i oppose your plans because i want to protect my neighbors. >> reporter: he is considered by many in the republican party to be the face of the future. a cuban descent, a freshman senator. coauthor of the senate bipartisan proposal for comprehensive immigration reform. marco rubio did pretty well by most republican accounts last night. it is not easy for the party giving the response to the state of the union to compete with the grandeur of the president's joint address to congress but for the most part republicans think he did a pretty good job and they're off to renewed courtship between the middle class and minorities. bill: carl cameron, a follow-up from washington. we know he is thirsty man and has a sense of humor, right, martha. martha: a lot of attention to the sip of water that he took, senator rubio made fun of that on "fox & friends." we'll show you a little bit of that in just a moment. basically he highlighted how republicans believe bigger government will not help americans get ahead. rather he said as you saw it will hold them back. alan colmes is joining us now, host of the "alan colmes radio show" and a fox news contributor. gretchen hamel is a former spokeswoman for the house republican conference. welcome to you both. both of these speeches really closely watched last night. no doubt marco rubio wants to make a mark for himself. wants to make it very clear how he is very different from the president in terms of his philosophy and turning the economy around, alan. >> i don't know, it was great product placement. i think that is what that thing was about. i thought it was funny he tweeted a picture i think of him with the water bottle. but that aside i don't know what he offered that was new. he seemed like he was responding to a speech that i didn't hear the president give when he started talking about again, how the president wants to raise taxes on middle class, which he has not done. i don't know what he was referring to in some of the criticism of the president. he also said he was going to be less critical than he was going to be ahead of the speech in ever ing remedies. i didn't hear any remedies other than the same old tired democrats want to raise your taxes, democrats think government is the answer to to everything which is the opposite what the president said and opposite what the president has done. i don't know what he was responding to. i don't think he responded to the actual speech president obama gave last night. martha: i don't know. i thought in many ways he did. >> i don't. martha: what do you think?. >> oh, i thought he did respond. let's be honest. he was a little parch after hearing the president and his big spending agenda. they agreed on one thing and that was immigration. there was clearly a big divide between the president and rubio. the president basically laid out the same thing he has for the past four years. that he wants to expand government. he wants more spending. he wants to increase deficits. and more bailouts, more stimulus and rubio said, no. we need something different. we need to put the power in the people's hand and let americans do what is best and get the government out of the way. martha: i mean i don't know, alan, how you can look at it any other way, really. >> well, i do. that's why i'm here. martha: let me finish my question. some people believe this is the way to stimulate the economy and the president is clearly one of them. he talked about expanding education spending. expanding green energy. expanding infrastructure. and he said all these things would create so much growth -- >> they do. martha: the programs once put in place and the growth they spur you would not necessarily have to take on more deficit spending it has not worked that way. >> as a matter of fact the deficit down. the rate of spending is down and projected deficits are down. and certainly deficits a percentage of gdp is down. it is not accurate to say deficits are going up under this president. furthermore we see spending stimulus bill and one started under george w. bush which is tarp has actually helped the economy. in fact had we spent more and faster it would have helped the economy even more. martha: gretchen. >> let's look at the facts here the since the president has taken office we're 6 trillion dollars more in debt. so say he has -- >> deficit is down. >> that is such, come on alan. martha: the deficit, you know, increase in deficit might be down. the percentage of gdp might be down. >> that is how you look at it. martha: deficit is 6 trillion dollars highers. >> you're coming off a stimulus. so that shows there may be a little bit of blip in how much it is per gdp because we just went and put $800 billion into the economy. but, if you look at his record, it has shown that this president doesn't care about the debt and deficit. >> that is absurd. >> promises he made in 2009 to cut the deficit in half by the time finished his first term. he did not do that. to go to the point about gdp look back at the last gdp numbers. we had negative growth for first time in 3 1/2 years. why? it showed the government was propping up the economy and that is living on borrowed time and borrowed money. martha: i want to get back to marco rubio for the last question. we could go back and fourth on that for a while. is marco rubio emerging as, you know, sort of the new standard-bearer, short of election period for the gop? alan, what do you think?. >> i think republicans would like that. they would certainly like somebody with hispanic heritage be that person and think they would like him to be a symbol of an expanding possible electorate that the republicans can appeal to. whether or not he can actually fill that role, i don't really know. i didn't see he offered anything new. what was the alternative republicans offered last night except same old criticisms of democrats. martha: gretchen, last night, whether marco rubio is emerging, a lot of is given to him over the past couple weeks. he is that man right now? >> he is a man with a great story that many americans can relate to. and he's got a different vision and different vision than the one we're hearing from the president. so for those reasons, yes he is many so one standing out amongst the republicans. martha: gretch, thank you very much. alan as always, thanks for being here as well. >> thank you. bill: i drink poland spring. martha: so does marco rubio. poor guy, the duck out of the thing, the sip. you're thirsty. look at it. it was so far away. what is wrong? his folks clearly should have had a nice big glass the water inside the podium. bill: i'm thinking next time he consults with us. you do it every day. martha: exactly. bill: 20 minutes past the hour now. in a moment there is a pregnant teenager who is now suing her mother and father for trying to force her to get an abortion. there's a lot to talk about on this one. we'll bring that to you. martha: and the affordable health care act, it is the official name of the new health care law. dr. marc siegel argues that he says it is anything but affordable. he will tell us what he is seeing in his practice when he joins us.

>> well the obama administration's calling obama's plan a catastrophic plan. i'm not. i'm calling it comprehensive plan. look what the bronze plan covers. mental health and substance abuse services, prescription drugs, laboratory, preventative and wellness services chronic disease management. pediatric services including oral and vision care. bill: that is a mouthful. >> that is a mouthful and a lot of money to cover that stuff that is why premiums will be high. by the irs estimate it could cost you $20,000 a year to cover a family of five. what may happen is, you lose to the employer plan. you go to the state exchange, bill. you can't afford a plan there and you can't qualify for a subsidy because you make too much money. you say will you have to pay the penalty or the tax? that is the affordability glitch. the government will say, we'll let you off the hook. only 11 million people will have to pay the penalty. 18 or 19 million will be left off the hook by the irs the first few years. they can't afford premiums but will get the penalty. they can not have insurance. bill: this is the first i exchanges offering color-coded systems. four basic types, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, is how it works. >> the platinum, that is cadillac plan. that thing covers everything but the kitchen sink. what i'm concerned about, tell you what it is really like in a doctor's office. i have people who have health savings accounts and catastrophic plans, and they're healthy. i call them the worried well because they only come in only when they're sick. they know they're paying out-of-pocket. they get a tax deduction and they're paying out-of-pocket. if i give them a plan they can use anytime they want they will come in anytime they want. that jacks up health care costs. i want high deductibles in the health savings accounts returned to the system. this can be modified. dr. benid this the other night. we need health savings accounts expanded so people know what they're buying. if they don't know what they're buying they will get cat scans they don't need, mris they don't need, all kinds of things they don't need. bill: you advocated getting like itemized bill. >> the --. bill: the patient would know what the cost is and how would that change the way they look at care? >> because right now we're dealing with a tremendous amount of overutilization. i had two patients come in the other day saying i want a pet scan of my entire body so i know i don't have cancer. that may sound great. do you have any idea what that costs? thousands of dollars. if patients don't pay for it, they don't care. bill: going to all the cost here now. what are we going to do about that? what happens? >> well i think that if we don't do it this way we're going to be faced with more and more regulations, more and more bureaucracy and less choices for either the physician or the patient. l

brianne carter has more. >> good morning, the president is headed to north carolina to talk about all of that and try and continue to sell his plan that he put forward in his first state of the union address since re-election. his tone was more aggressive than many thought it would be. he laid out what he would like to see over the next couple of years. the big issues the economy the president asked for a raise in the minimum wage up to $9. also, telling congress to act and not have those cuts going into place on march 1. we saw the motion in the chamber during the topic of gun-control. the president told congress that they need to bring the issue to a vote. one of the other big topics since a re-election is immigration. >> as we speak, bipartisan groups in both chambers are working

in the mood right now. speaker john boehner had network correspondents and reporters to a breakfast and he said the president did not have the guts to do would need to be done on entitlements. that

the state of the union. he will be in north carolina talking about manufacturing and toward the end of the week, he will be in chicago after the killing of a young girl there who was at the inauguration. this time, the president is giving up on back room deals and giving up working directly with republicans. he wants to bring in pressure from around the country so he is tapping into his

ben tracy is there, ben, good morning. >> reporter: norah and anthony good morning. with daylight on the west coast the search resumes for christopher dorner. they did have small search teams working this area throughout the night but so far no sign of him. the authorities acknowledge this could be an elaborate diversion or perhaps even a trap. when an assault team descended on the mountain town of big bear california, authorities hoped they were hot on the trail of christopher dorner. 125 officers joined the search following fresh tracks in the snow that led from this burned out truck they say belongs to dorner. investigators have been combing the truck for clues as s.w.a.t. teams search door to door for the suspected killer. >> i have no idea what his thoughts were. we're doing everything we can to search the area and attempt to find him. certainly he could be anywhere at this point and that's why we're searching door to door. >> turn around. >> reporter: more than a dozen local, state and federal agencies joined the manhunt thursday after dorner allegedly shot at four police officers in river side county near los angeles, killing one and wounding two others. >> this is a somewhat unprecedented or at least a very rare occurrence for us. we have a trained and heavily armed person who is hunting for police officers. >> reporter: it appears to be revenge. 3-year-old christopher dorner was fired from the lapd in 2008 after filing a false brutality complaint against a fellow officer. he also has military training having served in the navy. >> of course he knows what he's doing. we trained him. he was also a member of the armed forces. it is extremely worrisome and scary especially to the police officers involved. >> reporter: in a rambling manifesto on his facebook page he details of what he sees is abuse in the police department and targets dozens of officers by name writing "i will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in lapd uniform, whether on or off duty will you now live the life of the prey. i never had the opportunity to have a family of my own. i'm terminating yours." investigators believe dorner murdered monica quan and her fiance in a parked car sunday. quan's father is a retired los angeles police captain who represented dorner at his disciplinary hearings. >> i would tell him to turn himself in. this has gone far enough. nobody else needs to die. >> reporter: the weather up here with the snow the wind and temperatures in the low 30s is complicating this search and keep in mind they're dealing with a guy who has finally honed survival skills. this is someone who was in the military and also on the police force. >> ben tracy, thanks ben. >>> bill bratton was the los angeles police chief while christopher dorner was in the lapd and senior correspondent john miller former head of the major crimes division at the lapd under bratton. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> they found his truck. do we think that's going to take us any closer to him at this point? >> john and i were talking about that, our perspective is it's probably a diversion, 80 miles outside of l.a. and the latest new story he might be in the san diego area so possibly a diversionary tactic to draw people up to the area while he's headed south. >> how well equipped is the lapd to deal with something like this? >> this circumstance the lapd is superbly equipped for this in terms of their investigative capabilities, their resources and the southern california police community is incredibly well networked with each other. each department works very well seamlessly with each other. so the manhunt that's under way is coordinated, i
