a video came to us this afternoon from a woman who was driving north on interstate 35 in ramsey county, minnesota, earlier this morning. she lost control of her truck. it went over the bridge. now, miraculously this woman left her car without more than a few bumps or bruises. so she survived and did pretty well. but still, the minnesota department of transportation wanted to make an example of her. they went to their facebook page this afternoon and said, this is why we're urging people to slow down, pay attention and watch out for icy bridges and ramps. that's because these sub zero temperatures create these black ice conditions so drivers aren't really aware of what they're getting into. and that's why they want people to slow down. the other thing we can tell you about this extreme cold is that it's causing a lot of frost bite. so one of the local hospitals here said that they usually see about 30 patients a year for frost bite. but just in december they saw 30, and already in january they said they've seen about 25 in this first week. but it's getting a little bit better, and schoo

ramsey? >> mr. chief justice and may it please the court, this court has the public sidewalks are a natural and proper place to exchangeizens information and ideas. and for that reason the court public sidewalks occupy a special position in first amendment analysis. if the massachusetts law at issue here makes it a crime to enter onto certain public sidewalks, even for the purpose of peaceful conversation or leafletting, the law applies at abortion clinics throughout the hour of every day that they are open regardless of circumstances. massachusetts asks this court to uphold that statute under the time, place and manner test. the law fails each aspect of that test. i would like to begin with tayloring. the state says the law is necessary to protect its interests in obstruction and congestion. but the law is not narrowly tailored to that for three reasons. first the law applies regardless of whether there is any threat of obstruction or congestion at all, even when the sidewalks are entirely open and

work your the marshall fund, the hoover institute, the hoover center, excuse me, the engine shipper ramsey is working on. i think the press sometimes the mother is a narrative about people who leave congress and all they want to do is become lobbyists and cash in. think there are a lot of people like the senator who do wonderful things when they leave the senate and we don't focus on that enough. so in this article i'm going to just focus of the great things he has done since leaving the senate. that will be fun to do. well, today when i would like to talk about is senator john f. kennedy. and i want to do it in the following way first to give you a sense of how he came to write this book. there were some 40,000 bucks allegedly on jfk. so you sort of have to ask yourself, is there really a need for another book? and that was sort of the first threshold that i had to cross. and i will explain to you why i thought that there was intelligence to write this book. secondly i want to just describe what kind of senator john f. kennedy was. and then lastly, i want to go into a little bit more stag

have been caught in the middle of this battle between the nsa and ramsey writes. our chief washington correspondent peter cook joins us. the president will say he does not want the government collecting phone calls anymore. how will that play with the phone companies? >> do not expect them to be popping champagne corks. it is a big change, but it is not the change that they were hoping for. the president is going to leave open the possibility that they could be forced to hold this information for the government going forward. that is something that would be worse than people in the is the current situation. the president will essentially recognitionapid -- -- recommendation of his panel. his not say the program should be scrapped. u.s. the attorney general and members of the all -- intelligence community to come up with an alternative plan. that is a higher bar than today. appease privacy and civil liberties groups, but it is not the solution the phone companies wanted to have. they did not want the government to hold this -- require them to hold this information.

essentially you have to believe the that bridget kelly, deputy chief of staff, this mom of four from ramseyce lady, was some kind of road warrior in the new jersey governor's office running this hit job on the mayor in ft. lee. you know, maybe that's true, but i -- i have my doubts. >> so i wonder, kevin, if immunity is given to, say, his deputy chief of staff in exchanges for tell us everything you know, is that when, i guess chris christie or others, need to be worried about the what's next? >> well, we don't know. i mean, that's a hypothetical that's impossible to answer. what we do know though, and i think that's what chris christie and his team are looking at, is what is it that they can control. and i think they started with that, they started off on the right foot with the press conference where they answered questions for almost -- where he answered questions for almost two hours. and also took on a level of accountability and also he had a level of contrition that i think resonate with a lot of people in new jersey. now, it's not over. it's not going to be finished just there. ever
