[laughter] >> greta: this is a fox news alert. the colorado movie massacre suspect will go to trial. a short time ago, a colorado judge ruling there is enough evidence for james holmes to stand trial on all 166 counts. he is accused of opening fire in a midnight showing of a batman movie. 12 people were gunned down and

lew. >> i cannot think of a better person to continue tim's work at treasury than jack lew. >> reporter: president obama nominating a new to head the treasury department but signaling plans to continue with the fiscal policy the administration relied on in the first term. white house says lew has a keen understanding of domestic and international issues that impact the u.s. economy and point to the track record. >> under president clinton he presided over three budget surpluses in a row. with the talk of deficit reduction, making sure the boog are balanced this is the guy who did it. three times. >> reporter: republican opponent, senator jeff sessions chief among them say jack lew is the wrong man for the job and without then house speaker newt gingrich refusing to allow more government spending the budget achievements would never have happened. sessions without qualification, accuses lew of lying to congress when testifying about the president's fiscal policy and plans. >> he is consistently and deliberately misrepresented the facts of the president's plan. as the budget director for the president. >> reporter: in his

. >> the president is set to announce his new treasury secretary this afternoon. the likely nominee could set the stage for more confrontation for republicans over debt and deficit. karen travers has more. >> new year, a new cabinet. the obama administration shuffle continues. today president obama will nominate jack lew for treasury secretary. currently the chief of staff steps into the job at a very critical time. his experience as an administration insider and budget grew will be quickly put to the test. -- budget guru will quickly be put to the test. lawmakers me to address the automatic spending cuts they put off in order toch a last- minute fiscal cliff deal. lew may be getting a lot of attention for this his signature that will soon be put on newly-printed money. >> are you working on his signature? >> not that i am aware of. >> this is also drawing criticism. for the first time in years, all the cabinet positions will be held by men. john brennan at the cia and john kerry secretary of state. "the new york times" published this photograph yesterday. only men

treasury secretary. the biggest impact would be from his signature. look at what the newecame treasury secretary. that is a very squiggly signature. not exactly a john hancock. i maintain that is the biggest impact of all. the treasury secretary, no impact on policy at all. >> i went to catholic school for years and penmanship was taken very seriously. i would have been in a lot of trouble. as a former teacher i have to say he needs some handwriting classes. stuart: in the old days if you started to write with your left and the teacher stop you and you had to write with your right hand so you never wrote properly in your life. look like jack lew was originally left-handed. charles: i was going to write someone a note a week ago and forgot how to write in cursive. it has been that long. but jack lew never knew. stuart: more serious regarding spending and your dollar. the government's very alan bean calendar, the congressional budget office have numbers that show many more cuts could be made. look at this list. cut funding for non-defense agencies by 1%. that is a cut, how

president obama may need to find a new treasury secretary much sooner than expected. >> timothy geithner plans to leave his job after president obama is. there was speculation he would stay on the job longer with fiscal cliff negotiations only half done and another debt ceiling site on the horizon. the white house chief of staff jack lew is the front runner now to succeed him. >> secretary of state clinton is ready to get back to work after three days in a hospital. her spokesman says she will be back on the job next week. she was treated for blood clot she suffered on sunday that stemmed from a concussion and she suffered a last month when she fell. >> the house and senate will convene a joint session of congress today and to count electoral ballots from the presidential election. a federal judge in california rejected a challenge by birthers in their latest attempt to overturn the presidency of president obama. the judge rejected a request to allow a florida man to testify about alleged inconsistencies and the typeface on the birth certificate? that the president released. the presiden

. >> that is president obama talking about his new treasury secretary. president obama introduced him nominee jack lew. he served as white house chief of staff. he has experience working on balancing budgets during the clinton an illustration. he will replace treasury secretary timothy geithner our who led the department to the economic turmoil of the first term. investigating emergency 911 calls during last june. pretty harsh words tonight. verizon and other phone carriers. the federal communication commission says large scale 911 outages occurred because the company did not follow their own safety procedures. four states lost their 911 service. they are calling for backup power plants and audits of the 911 circuits. now, a fairfax county team who is battling brain cancer received a super surprise, a trip to the super bowl. that is in new orleans. this story tonight, he was there when a young man who tends the high school found out about the surprise. >> these are the shirts folks were wearing. what they did not know is there was much more to this gathe

mcdonogh would replace jack lu, who has been nominated to be the new treasury secretary. the press is standing by waiting for president obama to make an appearance and to officially announce the new selection. so we will go back to that when the president enters. >>> let's take a bump. snow is on the way. how much is expected, the full forecast in just a moment. >>> starting in mountain airy and lovettsville, the cacoctin mountains over the next hour. j.c., back to you. >>> there's the president. let's go to the white house. >> thank you, everybody. please, everybody have a seat. good afternoon. welcome to the announcement of one of the worst kept secrets in washington. as president i rely on an extraordinary team of men and women here at the white house every single day. and i rely on my chief of staff to keep up with them and our entire government making sure we're all moving in the same direction. making sure that my priorities are being carried out and policies are consistent with commitments i made to the american people and we're delivering progress to the american p

tough fiscal fights with congress and his choice is raising questions about how independent the new treasuryef will be from the white house. steve liesman taking a close are look at this. steve, how independent are they and when they get too independent as paul o'neill did, they get fired. >> very good point. one is how much independence they exercise in office but the other is the chief criticism of jack lew so far is how much independence he brings to the job before he takes the office. the issue is when you think about the past seven treasury secretaries they've all come to the office in their resume with a bit of intendens, which leads you to something other than politics at the white house. let's go through it now. lloyd benson back in 1939 appointed by clinton, he was politically right of center of president clinton. that was the one thing. robert rubin came from goldman sac sachs. it was something other than political. larry summers, appointed by clinton an academic economist. how about the past three in john snow, if you look at him, there he is right here, came from csx corporation.

new treasury secretary, nearly record u.s. debt record, ex world war ii. this is an incredibly crucial time. yet we are playing games in d.c., how do you see this shaking out? >> it is like wall street and washington are in parallel universes. i was just down in d.c. >> separated by delaware. >> exactly and you don't want go there. >> i was down in d.c. talking to new congress mman and every is pessimistic about the next round of debt talks. i don't think it'll go smooth by, i don't think the fiscal talks went smoothly, but i don't think it'll be very good this time around. >> if you look at jack lew's past, there is of an implied assumption that jack lew is not going to talk it pch whether you agree or not, the money has to come from somewhere. which may mean more tax raises but the republicans said no way. >> i agree. one more factor is that a public is widely defeated in the fiscal cliff discussions. they have to make it up in the fiscal debt ceiling increase. they have to insist on spending cuts. what it means is having lost once on december 31st, they

barack obama announced he is nominating the white house chief of staff as america opposing new treasury secretary. saying he has his complete trust. he will replace timothy geithner that does not wish to serve a second term. the vice president continued his meetings on how to curb gun violence in america. he wants to give his proposals to president obama by tuesday of next week. he said why it is important act now. >> nothing that has gotten to the heart of the matter more than the visual image of six year-old kids riddle. not shot with a stray bullet, but rattled. >> of the comments came on the same day that a student was shot and wounded at a california high school where another was taken into custody. for more, the vice president was meeting in the white house as we were getting news that there was yet another school shooting, and there is a real sense of urgency that is still there. >> we saw president obama after the shooting a visibly upset, saying he would use the power of his office to act on gun- control and do it quickly. he asked joe biden to convene with a sense of urgency.

president obama did not have to look very far to find his new treasury secretary, jack lew. at the announcement, the president and outgoing treasury secretary timothy geithner. >> our economy is better positioned for tomorrow than most of those other countries hit by the financial crisis. the tough decisions tim made and carried out deserve a lot of credit for that. i understand that tim is ready for a break. obviously, we are sad to see him go, but i cannot think of a better person to continue tim 's work at treasury than jack lew. >> unlike most treasury secretaries, jack lew earn his stripes and a washington and not wall street. he worked for tip o'neill in the 1970's and 1980's, and was clinton's: the director in the 1990's. evan, what does this tell us about the physical fights ahead? >> the good newss that he knows washington bit bad news is that he will do exactly what obama tells him, and from all indications, obama will not do much about fiscal restraint. >> nina, your sense of jack lew and what lies ahead? >> i think i agree with evan, but lew really does know the b

new treasury secretary coming? >> i don't know him, maria, so it's hard for me to have any personal judgment. i was surprised by it. it's not something i was expecting. i'm a complete outsider. a little bit of a feel that president obama knows what he wants to do and is looking for someone to get it through congress, to fight these battles and not so much for to give him new direction. >> ken, it's good to have you on the program. >> pleasure. >> thank you so much. >>> up next, we're "on the money," how would you feel about take an $11 million pay cut? >> i think it's appropriate and the board had a very tough decision to make. >> my conversation with jpmorgan chase ceo jamie dimon about his compositi composition, the housing market, and the u.s. economy. >>> and is the world big enough for two oprahs? i'll talk to the woman known as china's oprah who is a media mogul in her own right. as we take a break, look at how the stock market ended the week. >>> make no mistake about it, jamie dimon says what he says and me

first, new treasury secretary jack lew -- a veteran of the clinton and obama white houses - who will succeed timothy geithner. >> jack has my complete trust. i know i'm not alone in that. in the words of one former senator, "having lew on your team is the equivalent as a coach of having the luxury of putting somebody at almost any position and knowing he will do well." gwen: so what does lew's appointment tell the senators who must confirm him about what comes next in our epic budget fights? david? >> i think it tells us that the president anticipates that this year will be a year dealing with taxes and spending and deficits. it will be the fifth year in which we have a trillion dollar deficit and jack lew has been budget director in two administrations. unlike timothy geithner, he has very little experience in finance. that was geithner's strong point. he has very little experience in international. that was geithner's background. this is a guy who knows budget and knows congress. it sort of marks a punctuation point in the financial rescue. geithner was part of the rescue at the ne
