Been targeted by isis directly and are now taking their revenge in libya, where 21 christians were we bee headed. Cnns lee joins us from egypt. Ian, whats the situation on the ground . As you can see, this isnt a wealthy village and wont find it on most maps. But 13 of those 21 men came from this small village that im in right now. They went to libya looking for decent wages to provide a better life for their families back here to create a better home. But they were brutally executed by isis militants. And now egypt is trying to seek retribution. This morning, egypt appearing to gear up for war against isis in libya. Air strikes hitting ten targets, isis used for training and weapon depots up north according to the Egyptian Government. But islamist militias in the isis strongholds say they woke up to disaster and claim the bombings killed women and children cnn could not independently verify the claims. We hope the strikes were targeting specific installations and there has been no collateral damage. The strikes, egypts immediate retall wrags over the slaughter of 21 egyptian christians. According to egyptians they have undertaken actions to restrict the militant groups finances. And the country preparing to ask the u. N. Security council for more. The western board wer libya, we will not wait until they come next to our border and threatening our border or trying even to penetrate our border. Isis, a growing threat as the brutal beheadings posted online rallies the nation. Egypts leading Islamic Institution issued a ruling prohibiting muslims from watching the video. This as egypts president declared a week of mourning in the muslim majority country for the slain christians. A grand mukti, the leader responsible for religious edicts says the blood is the same as that which belongs to the egyptian nation. Egypt seems content for air strikes for now, theres no plans of putting boots on the ground. Alisyn . Ian, thanks for the background. New information overnight about the shooter in denmark and his possible ties to islamic terrorism. He apparently swore alegion is alegion is to isis after a Facebook Post. Denmark is on edge. Cnns Senior International correspondent Nic Robertson is live in copenhagen with more. Nic . Alisyn the Police Brought in a Army Bomb Disposal team looked at a package, took it aand decided it wasnt dangerous. It highlights the security concerns. In the city because of the possibility for other associates of this gunman more details coming to light about him in the hours before the attack. On his Facebook Page pledging alegion is toejgion answer to the isis leader. Ball gami. He may have been radicalized in jail and he was only released from jail two weeks prior to the attack. In the last couple of hours weve heard from the danish intelligence authorities who say yes, while we were aware of his sort of changed circumstances, changed outlook in principle, they didnt believe that he was on the verge of coming out of jail and committing an attack like this. They essentially say they didnt see this coming chris . As you know, its get so hard to see it coming because it could be coming from anywhere. Thank you very much from the latest from the ground. Lets get perspective on this isis fight, with bobby ghosh cnn gloeshl Affairs Analyst and Lieutenant Colonel james reese, former Delta Force Commander and former and chairman of tiger swan. Lets look at the state of play. Lets begin there. All life matters, any time these murderers put somebody on video, and take their lives in any fashion, its wrong. However, numbers sometimes count. They can exacerbate. 21 christians all right youre going want to talk about why they seem to be targeting enemies that technically they cant take on. The pope says the blood of these christians is crying out to be heard. You hear cardinal dolan, the big cardinal in the u. S. Saying we stood up as catholic leaders 40 years ago in ireland and said this must stop. Youre not catholic and today Northern Ireland is peaceful. The muslims must do the same. Bobby, what do you see in isis targeting groups it seems, right going after the jordanians with what they did to their pilot. They had to know what the response would bebe. What they did with these christians they had to know what the response would be. Whats the play on each side . Its terror and it comes from the knowledge that these countries, foreall their bombpast and the occasional jet that goes over and drops some bombs, are not going to put boots on the ground. Theyre confident of that. These arab countries have said over and over again, were not going to put boots on the ground. Thats going into the night with one hand tied behind your back. They feel isis does that they can get away with this and on the basis of the evidence so far they have. Bobby says because they know that you wont put boots on the ground. So colonel, then we put up the poll number. And you know what hes right. Americans dont want to put boots on the ground. However, you know that these numbers, polls are worth what they are, the numbers are moving closer and closer. You wont put boots on the ground you cant stop us without them. So deal with it. What do we do . I have a slightly different look than bobby does. The problem is we cant look at this isis issue as a singular focus. Like iraq or now libya. Theres five or six different fronts right now with isis. If you look at in iraq right now, we have boots on the ground supporting the iraqis libya, we dont have anything but the egyptians could, its plausible the egyptians could do it if they decided to ive said for months the center of gravity on the entire piece is syria. The big issue is is if the home front for isis sits in syria, will any of the arab countries ever decide to literally go into syria syria, that has bashar al assad, and his army to go in and eradicate isis with boots on the ground . Right now, i dont think so do i think the u. S. Would put boots on the ground to support an arab push to eradicate isis . I do. But i think thats were missing the political aspect what are wing did gg to do about the syrian home front for isis. I think egypt should put boots onned ground but most arab armies are not built to fight foreign enemies, theyre built to fight domestic civilians, they are good at beating up on civilians trying to protest peacefully. Egypt has been facing an insurgency in the sinai for months and months and years now and have done very very poorly there. So im not that confident that an Egyptian Army will a, go across the border into sib libia, and if they do will not be effective. And al sesi these are unstable places. And colonel, it comes down to the same problem, theyre going to have this extremism summit down there in washington, d. C. To come up with a solution. I feel like we had this same conversation not you and i, but i was learning about it a decade ago, about al qaeda. So everybody is saying that just like this fool that we just had to deal with in copenhagen i did this for isis. I feel like we had this conversation before. Did we find a way to stop it then . Or is this the same iteration of the same problem . Chris, youre right, we did have this conversation unfortunately for us it takes us a while to figure it out. And i, i think youll agree, that with al qaeda, we started to figure it out. We started to really tip away at that and really at times, neutralize it in certain areas yes, they pop up the shadows and they try to make an effect, but weve done well against al qaeda. Especially in the manhunting and the capture Kill Missions around the world against al qaeda. Think well have to learn the whole lesson with isis well been do it for eight, seven months, it will be interesting to see what we figure out the next step. So bobby life is cheap, when youre uneducated and disaffected and see no better path for yourself. You will be susceptible to doing ugly things. Theres plenty of that in the world. Whats the third factor . The rejeejs in these arab countries oppress their people and do not even try to give them another alternative route. Which is a big region that the u. S. Says it is a regional thing. Youre creating the problem, so why not you create the solution. Isis represents a greater existential threat to arab states i think than al qaeda did al qaeda used arab straits to recruit, to take money, to conceal themselves and attack the west. Isis wants to take territory in arab land syria, iraq libya. So that represent as different threat. The hope is that the arab countries will take it more seriously. The discussion that takes place in washington has to be political and social. Its not going to be a military discussion about how were going to fight these people. That discussion takes place behind closed doors. But theres got to be a discussion about socially how do you attack this problem. Politically, how do you give these young men an alternative, a different way to express their dissatisfaction. Bobby ghosh, Lieutenant Colonel reese, thank you very much for joining us. Unfortunately, this conversation alisyn just keeps going because its just too hard to find inroads to solutions. Well see if the summit bears any fruit this week. Meanwhile there are new developments this morning in Eastern Ukraine where the fragile ceasefire barely hangs on. Clashes escalating between Ukrainian Forces and pro russian rebels. European leaders trying to salvage the deal. Agreeing to concrete steps to fully implement the truce negotiated last week. Cnns Senior Correspondent nick walsh joins us with more. See if this sounds like a ceasefire. We just heard rocket launchers in the center of donetsk, the monitors all french german and russian leaders agree should be allowed to monitor the ceasefire that was agreed before the weekends actual truce and still, artillery raining down around key towns. These Ukrainian Tanks have just come out of the besieged town of dabaltova. Were following an aid mission to civilians caught in the ceasefire. This is an artillery range. This formerly quiet town caught in the crossfire even know with a supposed ceasefire people forced off the streets, underground, its homes reduced to rubble. Yevgeny has brought red cross food. In the palace of culture, are those who have nowhere or way to run. The children show us in death. Only knowing the bombs are landing when the walls shake. You can hear still in this town shelling in the distance unclear which way its going, but definitely not the sound of a ceasefire. This used to be a hospital. Now its a woodshed. And shelters to the very youngest. Like dennis who try the to use his fingers to show us hes two. Its scary. They all say. I want to go home sass dasha, its cold and uncomfortable. Dasha is a dance champion hip hop in fact. Here they dont care who was shelling or why, just that it stopped. But on the highways above, hours away from when the heavy guns are meant to be withdrawing, we saw these ukrainian weapons headed the wrong way. Ever louder the question what do you call a ceasefire when the fire hasnt stopped . Nick paton walsh, cnn, Eastern Ukraine. You can hear behind me here an ambulance in the streets of donetsk, theres heavy fighting raging in the town now for the railway station, which the rebel separatists say theyve taken. We are also of course concerned that the lack of heavy weapons being withdrawn, that was already supposed to be happening really in many ways how can the ceasefire still be that in anything other than name . Given the violence swirling around the donetsk region. So important to see the human lives hanging in the balance, we so appreciate your reporting, nick excellent work thank you. Back at home breaking overnight, a federal judge in texas has blocked president obamas executive action on immigration.

A little bit of an odd one, a moscow based Software Maker said it discovered a series of american spying operations including the hiding of spyware in the networks of 30 countries, including iran and china. Its supposedly been going on for two decades and the software is beyond the reach of antivirus programs the Software Maker involved is called kaspersky and it appears to suggest the nsa is behind the program. Hmmmm. Bizarre to have the russians telling us about the u. S. Spy program. And then reporting it on American Television as the source. Its hard to follow the bouncing ball know. We know that the blame goes like this an odd way to learn about it. A pair of blasts in western virginia after a train derails. Look at this explosion. What went wrong here and whats the damage .

This is the iconic view of the National Mall the Washington Monument blanketed in snow. The federal government is shut down d. C. Schools are closed. And even president obama himself was hit by the storm. He arrived back here in d. C. Heres a little bit of the video arriving in d. C.

Theres good news this morning in fact its 10 degrees, thats a lot warmer than it was yesterday. The wind chill is 1 and yesterday we dealt with wind chills at negative 25. We wanted to show you something. Take a look at all of this behind me this is whats been collected over the last few weeks, its a massive melt. More than 50 inches, you can see as we walk toward this mountain. It doesnt stop we could climb this. This is a total Warehouse District where theyre storing the snow there are issues here theyre starting to run out of salt. You can see what theyre going to start melting and what theyve been carting around trying to get this off city streets. We passed places where it had been impassable for drivers on small streets, you can tell why theyre tired of this and now you said it more snow is coming. You want to have some relief for these people its so very cold. Not quite yet, ryan no relief quite yet. It is relative 10 degrees today is much better than yesterday. Well get back to you. Thank you so much. Even the south hasnt been spared. Theyve seen a mix of snow sleet and driving rain. A driver spinning out of control, hitting a car, skidding towards the tv camera just stopping in the nick of time. Thank goodness our ana cabrera wasnt anywhere near where that hatch happened. Shes in Richmond Virginia. Its slow going on the roads in richmond and the surrounding area the state police have responded to hundreds of accidents in the last several hours and you can see what a mess it is here on the roads. Cars weve seen having trouble getting up this very slight incline. People are already at it. Down the road here. Where theyre already shoveling out of this mess. About six inches of snow fell on Richmond Virginia overnight, thats more than half of what they usually see in the entire winter season so that gives you a sense of just how big of a storm impact this really has for these southerners. Michaela . The winter of 2015 is definitely going down in the record books, ana, thank you so much. The relentless cold is now making more than 100 Million People shiver winter storm warnings stretching from oklahoma to new jersey with much of the northeast in a deep freeze once again, our rosa flores has bundled up. Shes outside our studio in new york where it is snowing once again. You know michaela take a look around me. Take a look behind me and youll see that it almost looks like christmas, lets remember today is actually fat tuesday, so happy mardi gras to everybody at home. Now i want to share with you probably the best thermostat here in new york city. Were going to do an extreme tilt because this is the official cnn thermometer, folks, you can see it is 15 degrees in new york city. Now, the city expecting one to two inches of snow today. In this area were expecting two to four inches not much is going to stick, so take a look right now, very little snow at the Time Warner Center but michaela if you look behind me this is central park. And let me just tell you, about 50 inches of snow last year about this time. This year michaela only about 22 inches so we have nothing to complain about my friends. Okay. So officially i cannot complain. Thats the word from our rosa flores thank you so much for that we appreciate it. The big question is how bad will this next arctic blast be . And how many days until spring . Because thats what im doing. Were counting right . Chad myers . How many days until spring . You know i keep hearing everyone talk about the next arctic blast i dont see this current one ending. I dont know when one starts and one ends because it never really warms up. The snow is about done for new york its done for philadelphia kentucky picked up 18 inches of snow. Not far south of Richmond Virginia picking up 11 inches if you get down where rosa was, theres a lot more snow there. And the cold just continues, it is cold all the way down to new orleans, its cold in atlanta, where its been freezing look at this the current wind chills it feels like 12 below in buffalo, 11 below in detroit. And the wave air we have now, it warms up a degree before the next cold wave comes by on saturday and the next one comes by on wednesday. Its one after the other. I looked it up today. I googled it because i can. When does spring start . About 31 days and 12 hours, so im not sure that thats a technical term. I dont think meteorologically its anywhere near. Did chad just say the cold is never going to stop . Theres only two little slivers of green. Florida and los angeles. Thats it. The kids in disney it was in the 60s there, compared to this its nirvana, but for florida, its cold. I like to blame new general, but i dont. Heres why, hes been consistent. You have all the people in the business who give you the false promises he doesnt do that i respect that. 31 days and 12 hours until spring. There could be one hour next tuesday, chris, maybe one. I would rather know dont give me any false hope. So we have this video that you showed earlier on thats worth showing again to understand why it happened. All right . The train derails in West Virginia and then this what was in the train . Why did this happen . We have the next ahead. And then would you think that Homeland Security would be among the last agencies to lose with all the terror and border issues but a shutdown does loom and no one in d. C. Says they want it .

Investigators on scene of that West Virginia Train Derailment this morning, it caused two big explosions. The train was carrying crude oil when 30 cars veered off the tracks in Fayette County sending the oil into a river that is a source of Drinking Water. Cnns rene marsh joins us from washington with more. At this point, we know investigators, federal investigators are on their way to the scene in West Virginia theyre trying to get to the bottom of what caused this fiery explosion. We saw the train explode and it shot up a Mushroom Cloud about as high as the plume is now, like that. In just moments, West Virginia resident alex fandor takes a step back as another giant fireball erupts into the sky. A train carrying crude oil derailing, causing multiple explosions on monday afternoon. The blasts continuing into the night. Sending clouds of fire and smoke into the air. One home destroyed, one person injured. And around 1,000 people displaced. I consider myself lucky, because you know got somewhere to go anyway. Were going to make our way someway. West virginia Earl Ray Tomlin issued a state of emergency for two counts residents urged to conserve water after oil from the train spilled into a nearby river, a source of Drinking Water. Nearly 30 of the trains 100 cars ran off the tracks but authorities still arent sure what caused the derailment. Weve had some severe Winter Weather conditions here with significant snowfall. We dont yet know whether thats a factor in this. Well firefighters are still working on the site theyre trying to remove the unaffected rail cars from the scene. But theyre really worried about a few potentially explosive cars that could still pose a risk. Michaela . So not completely out of the woods yet, all right, rene thanks. Leaders from around the world are searching for ways to curb extariqism at the white house, the start of a summit on stopping homegrown radicalization. Vice president addresses the group today. The president will speak tomorrow. All parties are said to be looking for a strategy to prevent terror groups recruiting or inspiring acts of violence. This comes amid recent terror attacks in paris and denmark. No question its a good time for the summit. Because you think the white house is offbase a new cnn orc poll finds more than half of americans, 57 do not approve of the way the president is handling isis. A jump from 49 in september. And americans are hardening their resolve to fight. A Strong Majority says congress should approve president obamas request to use military force against the terrorists about 50 50, about boots on the ground, though thats a key one. So leaders lean hard on polls these days. Were going to give you the other key info in new numbers coming up.

Congress has just 11 days to approve funding for the department of Homeland Security before the department is forced to shut down. A new poll released shows that americans will blame the republicans in congress not president obama. If the shutdown actually comes to pass. Why . Lets discuss it. Lets bring in cnn political commentator and democratic strategist paul begala and cnn political commentator and host of the ben ferguson show ben ferguson. Thanks for being here. We just showed who the public would blame if the department of Homeland Security were to shut down and they would blame the gop in congress more than they would blame the president. 53 to 30 . Ben, why then would republicans want to do something selfdestructive . I dont think they look at it as selfdestructive think they look at it as the president of the United States has overreached his powers a judge decided with more than 26 states saying executive action on amnesty for Illegal Immigrants the president probably overstepped his bounds. Not only the American People are saying it a judge has backed them up. Its easy to hate on congress its a local issue. If youre a congressman or a senator, can you defend this vote or this action . And the answer is many of them believe yes, they can. Because they were sent to washington to do exactly this. To take the president on on something he overreached his powers on. Something that the president even said he couldnt do multiple times, as president and then chose to do it. So i dont think theyre worried about it its easy to hate congress we have a new congress. And everybody still hates them. Because theyre still doing the same thing, my brother. You said shutdown is a mistake. Ive heard you say it before its a collective understanding and now youre using the same tactic to deal with something that has nothing to do with Homeland Security wixt are you doing the same thing now that youre in power . I dont think its the same thing. I think its Pretty Simple shutten down. If you shut it down. Theres a couple of things the essential services are still going to move forward so lets not overstate how drastic this is not going to be. Youre still going to have the core things its only nonessentials that would not come to work. Then second thing, youre going to get backpay as well. The president of the United States overstepped his bounds when he refuses to play by the rules you have to take measures to fight back. And guess what republicans were sent there to do exactly this fight with the president on issues where he overstepped his legal bounds. A judge said so yesterday. Paul let me show you the next poll. That sort of illustrates what ben is talking about in terms of it being essential or nonessential. The director of Homeland Security, jeh johnson said this would be a terrible disruption if the dhs were shut down. It would cause Everyday Americans to be hurting. Well thats not necessarily what Everyday Americans think, 55 do believe it would be a major problem, 45 call it a minor problem or no problem. Which is it paul . First off, the majority of americans will have before its even happened think its going to be a major problem or a crisis and they are right. Ben is right that the vast majority of Homeland Security employees are essential in defending the homeland. Theyll have to report it costs us more money, it will degrade morale. Well lose a lot of supervisors and the big thing that will not happen is a lot of aid to states where a lot of this action is. Its a foolhardy move to shut down Homeland Security when we face real threats, just because the republicans dont like what the president has done on immigration, they could pass a law, fund Homeland Security and then pass a law that says we repeal the president s executive actions, we can fight about that without trying to shut down Homeland Security. Because they hate what the president has done on immigration. Its bad policy and also bad politics. Paul begala i need to insult myself i dont know if you watched the quiz show last night, but clearly, i know very little about president ial history. Thats why i need to sit next to alisyn who was the big winner. But i did learn this if you dont know how to work with congress you will have nothing before trouble vlt before but trouble. The main focus should be legal status of immigrants 49 , Border Security 49 , the people want these things addressed and equal measure. The president has taken a very oppositional view. And now you will get nothing but opposition. He has to do better yes or no . Ben, you can answer it. The answer is yes. And i think democrats in the senate real quick, one of the big things is theyre the ones blocking an up or down vote on this. Its already gone to the democrats, they refuse to let it come to a vote. So lets not just blame the republicans for this. They could vote on this. If they had the votes to shut it down its a big win for democrats, i dont think they have the votes which is why theyre never going to allow it to come to vote. Paul . Look what the republicans are trying to do here is stop exactly what the American People want. The poll is right. The American People want better enforcement and they want normalization of folks who are already here. Thats what the president s bill does now frankly i shouldnt call it will president s bill unless you talk about president george w. Bush and john mccain. This is their bill barack obama embraced what used to be the republican approach. Except the Border Security portion. The Border Security portion is equal, equal in terms of giving them a path to citizenship so thats not reflected in the president obamas take on it is it paul . Well he has put more boots on the ground than any president on the border than any president since president roosevelt was chasing pancho villa. You remember pancho villa. Woody wilson was chasing him around the mexico border. We have plenty of enforcement. The president wants more enforcement the bill that congress is blocking has enforcement and normalization. Ben weve got to leave it there, ben Ferguson Paul begala were out of time. Thanks so much for the debate. Great to see you guys. Weve been following the american sniper trial closely. Its all about the video that just got played in court this is it. This is the american sniper defendant, Eddie Ray Routh, confessing all right now was this so big . Because it will show where his head was after the event. But heres the surprise it really can work for both sides. And well tell you why. For most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. But theres a new card in town. Introducing the citi® double cash card. It lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. Thats cash back twice. Its cash back with a side of cash back. The citi double cash card. The only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. With two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem onesided. Its frustrating being stuck in the house. Good thing xfinitys got 2 hour appointment windows. They even guarantee theyll be on time or i get a 20 credit. Its perfect for me. cause i got things to do. Oh, yeah woooo with a guaranteed 2 hour appointment window and a 97 ontime rate xfinity is perfect for people with a busy life. Welcome back to new day, a key piece of evidence any way you look at it was introduced at the american sniper murder trial. Jurors saw this video, judge says we cant let you listen to this. But you can see it. This is Eddie Ray Rouths interrogation and confession routh just rambles on about the murder. Not only does he give all the information, but its how. He says that he knows what he did was wrong. Now remember that were going to tell you why. Because thats going to loom very large here were going to bring in paul callan he is not just a cnn legal analyst, a senior partner as a law firm and a former new york city prosecutor. Joey jackson made it through the snow come on out. You cath stand next to me its too prejudicial. We have joey jackson, thank you for making it in from the snow. You know the deal on all of this. You have to look at before during and after. That is the key components of this. All right now lets look at before all right . The first thing that the prosecution put up and paul youre going to tell us why they would put up all this stuff in a second. Chris kyles voicemails joey when hair them as the defense attorney what does routh sound like in those voicemails to chris kyle before any of this happened . What happened is that three of those calls are very innocuous, hes calling, leaving messages and you cant really determine anything from them. Theres one call however, chris, thats quite disturbing. Hes talking about the rain its a sad day, its a good day, its a bad day. As a result of that you know that something is a bit amiss, think thats the call that the defense is going to use to have it work in their favor to show he didnt know right from wrong. Why would you, mr. Prosecutor put any of this on when on its face it doesnt seem good for you . Its called taking the sting out of bad evidence for you. The prosecutors know that defense attorneys, these are smart doer attorneys are going to be putting all of this stuff in front of the jury and theyre trying to get it out so that they can explain it to the jury in their own way and present it in their own way. Thats why prosecutors do this. Into the mix doesnt get you out of a crime in texas or anywhere else but there is proof from routh himself, i was using marijuana, i used to smoke with this guy, i needed to take the edge off, i needed booze, it will go into the mix. No need for legal analysis. Its not an excuse under law. So then we get into what it was like at the scene. The officer is there and hes talking about rouths mood this is during the moment so we know beforehand he had these problems now hes there, what do you see there, joey about what the officer relays . The bottom line here is this, what you have an officer that approaches you have a compliant routh, gets out of the car. But hes not compliant initially. Generally we have to go back because usually when you flee the scene, it shows consciousness of guilt. Why are you leaving . Because i know something is wrong. When he ultimately is caught up to. Now you have ramblings, you have musings by someone who apparently is psychotic. I think the ramblings and musing musings is going to be used in the defenses favor. Paul callan told me something that changes the analysis here. Weve been talking about insanity is hard because people dont want to give it to you, you have to show nature appreciating nature and the consequence of your actions, not in texas, paul callan what do they need . In the aftermath of the John Hinckley case when John Hinckley shot president reagan. Texas responded by enacting a law that is the most impossible insanity mountain to climb. It says only one thing. If you know the difference between right and wrong, you are not insane, and youre going to see them return to that theme time and time again in this case. Heres why, lets set it up. His confession its all in you would think for the defense, boy this poor guy, he is mentally ill. What he did is horrible he took two americans that were beloved, doing good things with their lives, hes careerly not right. He keeps saying again and again, i knew it was wrong but i had to do it. Lets evaluate that in context, he does say, i knew what i was doing was wrong. Hes rambling about pigs about the fact that i dont really know what im doing. Why dont i know what im doing . Hes making all of these statements that demonstrate hes not lucid, that hes not rational if i didnt take their souls, they would take my souls. Hes admitting, i know right from wrong. But does he really . Thats what we have to understand. The prosecution finishes with two big points this rambling may be related to drug and alcohol use, no defense in texas, okay . Number two the one thing he always says is i know the difference between right and wrong. I knew it was wrong when i killed them. So prosecution puts some points on the board, even though it was kind of a bad day for them. Also asks for his mother during the actual interrogation. And so i mean how many people are doing that at his age . I really think based upon the things that he was saying in the confession it really plays in the defenses favor. Ill tell you what not just because you made it through the snow joey but i am giving this day to the defense. Because i believe this is as good as it gets. They only get one mark off from me on this day, which is theyre very keen on using pts as this incendiary motivation to violence. Pts, is not known for that we will have clinicians coming on to talk about what posttraumatic stress is, it does not make people violent, it makes people withdrawn. Today we think that the defense is making its case a little stronger. Thank you very much. Now be sure to join us tomorrow night. Were going to show you blockbuster, thats the story behind the story of american sniper. It will help you understand this case and whos involved a little bit better. That will be tomorrow at 9 00 p. M. Eastern here on cnn. This trial matters, theres a lot of news for you this morning, so please lets get to it. Horrific scenes one after another. This is a cult. Isis is clearly in communication with other who is have taken on the isis name and the isis brand. Congress should give the president the authority in this fight. Were standing on the river bank when we saw the train explode. Residents urged to conserve water. 1,000 people displaced. Im trying to get home i just had a blowout on the freeway, i was able to pull in here. Even if i had to walk to work which ive done in the past, i will walk to work. Trying to get out of here before it gets worse. This is new day, with chris cuomo, Alisyn Camerota and michaela pereira. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to new day, officials from 60 countries descending on the white house to try to find a strategy to stop terrorism. The White House Holding a summit with hopes of devising a way to deter radicalization and terror recruitment of young people around the world. It comes as a majority of americans lose confidence in the president s Foreign Policy. And his handling of isis. Can the summit help or it frankly too late for this sort of approach. Lets get to the white house and michelle kosinski. It is just a summit talking about countering violent extremism. This was planned for months ago originally and then was delayed. But the white house wants this to be practical and useful. For a long time weve heard them talk about how getting at the violent ideology is a key to ultimately defeating isis longterm. Were going to see more than 60 countries participate in this over three days time. Theyre going to be looking at pilot programs in the u. S. In minneapolis, boston and l. A. Getting a closer look at what is working, and what isnt. Not only nationally but internationally, now as you mentioned, this comes at a time though when according to the new poll a majority of americans now say they feel that the war against isis is going badly. And this growing disapproval over how the president is handling terrorism. 57 responded that they disapprove of how hes handling Foreign Policy in general. Its not as if were going to see the summit be some kind of turning point. But the white house says they want it to highlight action and be a catalyst for more. Chris . Michelle its understandably you have the discontent. We keep hearing about more and more acts of terrorism. New details emerging about the denymarc shooter this as facebook is now posting, a Facebook Post appears to show him swearing an oath to isis lets bring in cnn Senior International Nic Robertson in copenhagen with the latest. Yeah chris, in the last few hours, weve heard from the Danish Intelligence Service, p. E. T. Saying they were aware of this man, the gunman but they didnt expect him to go on a killing rampage in the way that he did. Now why does it appear that theyre saying this right now . There are several factors. What weve heard from the danish ambassador to the United States in the past 24 hours is that it seems that the gunman Omar Abdul Hamid elhussein. Was radicalized while he was in jail. He was in jail for a violent stabbing on a commuter train in 2013. In the hours before the attack he has posted to what appears to be his Facebook Page a line of support, a message of support to isis leader albaghdadi, so putting this together the Danish Intelligence Service says he was on the radar, had been bout to our attention, but we didnt consider him likely to get into an attack of this kind. Is lets look into who did it and why it may have been done. Any word of accomplices . Or is this guy standing out right now as someone who was selfradicalized or just selfmotivated . You know there does appear to be accomplices. Two men charged monday one 19 one 22. What the prosecutors are saying is they had a prior agreement with the gunman to hide him after the first attack. Not only that prosecutors say that they actually had his weapon so theyre now being charged as accomplices in the murder and attempted murders here. So concern, are there more accomplices, more people in that circle of knowledge . Certainly the police so far believe theyve identified two such people. Chris . You cover very extensively the same die nannic with al qaeda. Which is where bad guys just start reaching out to the brand of a terror network. And pledging allegiance maybe during or after they do something terrible like this. What are the indication heres about this guy who is in jail for what a stabbing . A garden variety thug. Somehow became then into terrorism. What do they know . What were learning here is he is a member of a gang there were violent gang wars in this city over the past five or six years, i he was the type of guy, i met somebody who knew him when he was in the gang. They had weapons in the gang they killed people as part of the gang warfare. The gangs called a truce, but he was such a violent member of the gang they pushed him out of the gang. He appears to have gravitated to another group, to radical islamists and coming more under their influence inside the jail. So its not an unusual path here. He never went to iraq or syria, according to officials, got his gun and weapon skills here on the streets of copenhagen in the gangs, gets thrown out of the gangs, looks for another identity to cling on to his radical islam, comes out of jail and we know the rest of the story. Nic robertson thanks for all of that background. Isis appear to be expanding its global reach. Despite Coalition Air strikes, including those from jordan and egypt. Where are the terrorists growing . Lets ask bobby ghosh, our cnn gloeshl Affairs Analyst and managing editor of quartz. Lets start with the areas that we know to be under isis control. We knows to be in iraq and in syria. The red there are the portions that we believe isis has taken control of. Lets pivot to the next map because given what happened this weekend, with the isis tape released of the more than a dozen egyptian christians being beheaded in libya, whats happening with isis . Is isis now in libya . Well theres a group in libya that has essentially claimed that it is loyal now to isis. It has pledged allegiance. We saw this with al qaeda in the last decade, we now seeing it with isis. The more successful a terrorist group, you have groups around the world that say we want to be part of that. We want we want to pledge allegiance to the leader of this group. The leader of isis is calling itself a caliph. And so its an appropriateation of the brand. Theyre learning the techniques the thing to worry about is theyre not just embracing the idea, theyre embracing the techniques the beheadings the burning aline, the videos parading people in yellow jumpsuits, this is the thing thats worrisome. Theres a sense of wannabes here and the worry is each of these groups will try to outdo each other to prove were badder than those guys. You think that the people behind the beheadings that we saw, those were wannabes in libya . And there has been a formal acceptance in this particular case isis has accepted them. The name of the group appears in isis online publications. So theyre a little further down the road. But there are groups like this everywhere pakistan afghanistan, egypt. Algeria algeria, and with individuals in paris, in copenhagen. Youre making the point of our next map. And that is just the breadth and Geographic Scope of where these groups are now. So all of the red pockets are places that you just named. So the fact that they went after these egyptian christians is this a change in tactic for isis . Or is this more of the same . To kill people for no other reason than they are christian . Its an opportunity. They had these Coptic Christians in libya. Theres quite a lot of them theyre very poor very vulnerable. Local authorities dont recognize their existence, they dont get the Police Protection they need. Isis this group saw the opportunity. Its an opportunitygrab if you like. They saw the opportunity, grabbed these most Vulnerable People and then they went and killed them. I was troubled to read them the preinterview notes from you where you say that the air strikes you believe are only rattling the cage of isis. It is rattling the cage. I wouldnt say only. Rattling the cage is important. The air strikes have worked in iraq, theyve stopped substantially the spread of isis. So they are effective geographically. They certainly are. But that can only be one part of the scheme. Theres got to be people on the Ground Fighting these people. Who are those people going to be . Americans seem to be coming around to the idea that this might be necessary. Arab armies no the so interested. Iraqi military. What about egypt now . Now that they have crossed egypt in this way and egypt is launching the air strikes, what about them getting more involved and even leading part of the coalition . Egypt is supposed to be part of the coalition, they also have a large insurgency within their own country and theyve done a petty poor job of dealing with that the Egyptian Military is great at beating up on innocent civilians who dont have any arms and are pro testing for Political Freedoms theyre not so great against fighting against an armed and dangerous terrorist group. This is true of all the arab armies. The syrian army was the largest, bestfunded arab army in the world and they have essentially been fought to a standstill against isis on their own turf. Im not wildly optimistic that the other arab armies can make a great contribution here. Bobby ghosh, thanks so much for walking us through all of this. Lets go back to chris. Another situation equal problems ceasefire in ukraine. Question mark. Lets take you there right now. Decide for yourself. Cnns Senior International correspondent, Nick Paton Walsh joins us from Eastern Ukraine. We understand you have new video that shows the reality on the ground. Theres been so much debate is the ceasefire holding. You can see now some remarkable images shot by reuters, it seems on the road down to debaltseve the key town that everybody is talking about, quite what the impact of shelling when it hits clearly there, a gas pipe really is. I think it takes moments like that where people really get brought home to how violence is continuing. When you see that flames there in that area which should be under a truce. We know in in debaltseve the rebels separatists claim to have taken the railway station, parts in the east of the city. They claim to have taken more of it in some pro Russian Media were reading. The Ukrainian Government say theyve lost five soldiers in the last 24 hours. The monitors are calling to be allowed in. Thats being echoed by france germany, russia and ukraine. To be allowed them to actually monitor the ceasefire. Well frankly, chris, moment by moment here the figure leaf of a truce is disappearing quickly. Back to you. Ill take it here nick thanks. Breaking overnight, president obamas executive action on immigration is on hold thanks to an order from a federal judge in texas. The order is temporary, but it gives 26 states more time to press ahead with a lawsuit to stop the president s action entirely. The first orders have been set to go into effect tomorrow.

Most of the products we all buy are transported on container ships. Before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck. Here in san diego, were building the first one ever to run on natural gas. Ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. Were proud to be a part of that. Baby it is cold outside. At least for much of the nation. Snowfall and bitter cold hitting most of the midwest, the south, even the east this morning. Incredibly the big chill not over another arctic blast is coming. Or if you ask our chad myers, its still here were tracking all the developments for you. We have a reporters dispatched around the states beginning with sunland surfi, which saw heavy snow overnight. We saw the mall starting to get a little sunlight on it not much sunlight. Lots of snow here overnight. Official heres in d. C. Have just declared a snow emergency. Want to show you some of the accumulation here. As you can see, about four five inches of snow. And this light fluffy snow that came in the kind that just sticks to the roads. Take a look here behind me of the iconic National Mall. Just blanketed this morning with snow as people start to wake up. But this city really is a ghost town the d. C. Federal government is closed. D. C. Schools are closed. And president obama himself is not immune from the weather effects here. He landed take a look at the video last night. He landed on air force 1 in d. C. Around 9 00 when the snow was just picking up. Real heavy last night. He was forced to motorcade back to the white house instead of taking marine one. But here the weather is not expected to go above freezing all day. And michaela a Winter Weather advisory is still in effect. Important to keep in mind. Sunland, thank you so much for that lets turn to boston which keeps getting hammered snowfall records there have already been broken. Even more snow sont way. Ryan young man braving the bitter cold and has crimed to the top of his own mountain. Yes, i have. Im on top of the world. In fact this is one of the places where they store all the snow that theyve been collecting. More than 50 inches has hit here. Guess what yesterday it didnt snow which is good news but more snow is coming. Where im standing as you look around this is more than two football fields worth of snow. Its a mountain that was hard to climb, its more than ten feet high. And let me tell you something, it just expands all the way down. Now they have snow melters in the area. That are constantly working to melt the snow. They have to get rid of it somehow. Everywhere in this area theyre also running low on salt. You know they need the salt to preserve the roads to keep them clear. People are trying to get back to work you can understand the frustrations of the area with snow like this and record snowfall you know the crews have been working extremely hard to keep the roadways clear and free for people to get around. Michaela . Ryan big shoutout to all the road crews around the northeast and the midwest who have been working overtight. Theyre weary, theyre tired. Dont think the south is getting spared were getting word that almost 200,000 people Power Outages in North Carolina South Carolina and georgia. Snow sleet and freezing rain may driving really treacherous, the driver of an suv lost control and almost hit a news crew but luckily they were out of harms way, although they seemed right in the line of it ana cabrera is joining us in Richmond Virginia. We can see a vehicle taking its time. The roads look quite awful there. Right. Very very variable conditions here in the south. Michaela. You mentioned the snow the sleet, the ice and so the roadways are extremely slippery behind me, you can see its really piled up here. Six inches of snow here in richmond alone. Anticipated even more because of the sleet it helped to keep the snow levels down. Still plenty of work for the crews out and about. They brought out the heavy equipment across the street to clear some of the sidewalks, theyve got the bob cats multiple people shoveling, also working on deicing using the sand and the salt. We know that state police have responded to more than 200 accidents since 2 00 or 4 00 yesterday afternoon and the storm isnt over yet. After the snow comes is the deep freeze we know temperatures going into negative degrees in the next 48 hours, it may not get above freezing for much of any time until this weekend. Michaela so people are starting to hunker down and prepare for what could come. Still, especially as you mentioned, the 200,000 Power Outages for folks here in the Southern States where its frigidly cold for them for this time of year. Weve been mostly lucky, there havent been more widespread Power Outages, i imagine folks are hoping they can catch their breath before the next one. To those of you watching at home. If you have any good videos or photos of the snow please share them with us tweet us newday. And post them to our Facebook Page, using the cnnsnow or snowverit. Where are they going to put all of that snow . I have no idea. More of it on the way. How about this one . Flames so bad all firefighters could do is watch them burn. Why did a train turn into this . We have the story behind the video, ahead. And americans overwhelmingly are saying okay to using force to combat isis that according to a brand new cnn poll.

It all started with train carrying crude oil, it derailed and the situation just fireballs out of control from there. Lets bring in cnns rene marsh in washington with more. Whats the latest . At this point, chris, this morning it is still a dangerous situation in West Virginia people are still not being allowed to return to their homes and theres still great concern about the Drinking Water in this area. Oil from the derailed train has spilled into a nearby river, a source of Drinking Water, the water we do know is being tested periodically of course this all started yesterday afternoon. A csx train hauling crude oil from north dakota to virginia derailed. That was followed by multiple explosions. Youre looking at some video there. And blasts continued into the night. We do know one homeless destroyed, one person was injured and 1,000 displaced at this hour. Emergency crews are telling us at this hour fire is still burning, it is still too hot for firefighters to get close to the epicenter of this explosion. Chris . We know its still burning and those who need to come and figure out what happened maybe how to stop it arent even there yet. What are they looking at Going Forward . We do know that federal investigators this morning, we they are on their way to the crash site but when you look at the images there, its clear to know that it will take a while for things to cool down. Cool down enough so that its safe enough for investigators to get close to start the process of piecing this all together figure og ut what caused this derailment. Thats a mystery as we speak. They do not know what caused nearly 30 of the cars to derail. So thats going to be their image. Thats going to be their mission as they arrive there. But the first part of this is securing the scene and that isnt fully done at this point. And obvious and big part of the challenge is that the fire has its own fuel source. So thats going to have to burn through. Well stay on it thank you, rene appreciate it. Well a host of International Leaders heading to the white house for a summit focusing on the battle against extremism. President obama expected to address more than 400 officials and counterterrorism experts tomorrow. The goal is to find a strategy to prevent terror groups from recruiting and inspiring acts of violence. The gunman in the copenhagen attacks apparently swore loyalty to isis on his Facebook Page. And last year prison officials felt he was at risk for becoming radicalized. He served time for stabbing a man on a train and was released two weeks before the shootings. Testimony resumes today in the socalled american sniper trial. Monday was the biggest day yet. Jurors heard Eddie Ray Rouths taped confession. His attorneys say it shows the veteran suffered from Mental Illness when he killed littlefield and kyle. But the question for the jury will be whether routh knew what he was doing was wrong. The voice behind a teen classic has died. Its my party and ill cry if i want to cry if i want to cry if i want to that one holds up its so catchy. Singersongwriter leslie gore was just 17 years old when she topped the charts with its my party. Among other hits the feminist anthem you dont own me she died of lung cancer at a new york hospital. On monday she was just 68 years old. Too young, but what an impact impact. Time for to us get inside politics, hes left us john king is back in d. C. We thought you would be here to welcome chris back to the show after a long weekend. But you fled. They sent me back to shovel my driveway. Its a beautiful day. Good morning to you guys in new york. Lets begin side application, with me to share reporting and politics ed okeefe and chris moody. We awake this morning to Big Court Decision in texas. The president last year used executive power to change immigration laws or policy. He cant change the law. A federal judge in District District Court judge in texas said you cant do that you cant stop deporting people. You cant decide who gets to stay. This is something republicans wanted in 26 states led by the republican governor of texas. The white house will appeal now to the court in new orleans. The court of appeals, heres what they said this morning. The department of justice legal scholars immigration experts and the District Court in washington, d. C. Have determined that the president s actions are well within the legal authority. The District Courts decision wrongly prevents the lawful commonsense policies from taking effect and the department of justice has indicated it will repeal that decision so a victory for conservatives, the question is will a higher court uphold it. We should point out that the this obviously is a final ruling. What it does in the shortterm is delay the start of the application process, which was supposed to begin today. So if you are someone you know was supposed to do this today, you might want to call ahead. It will go to the appeals court, i suspect this like so many other things that the Obama Administration has done will end up at the supreme court. Thats exactly what republican governors and the attorneys general want. We see gop lawmakers heralding this decision immigration groups talking about activist judges. Who are making these decisions. The roles have been reversed. We see gop lawmakers hailing this decision, we dont doe see them in this town. You see the building behind me which looks beautiful in the snow. The Capital Building theyre off this week. I want to get do that in more detail in a moment. One of the things theyre not here debating which they should be here debate sgt department of Homeland Security which enforces the immigration policies about to run out of money. Theyre not here. And if you look at our brand new poll out this morning, this is an interesting one. If had you a 21 Approval Rating 21 of your colleague and bosses approved of how you were doing your job, youd be sulking, 21 approve, thats up from 13 last year. I guess the republicans can say our new congress son the right track. 21 approve. Does the Court Decision give them an offramp one of the reasons they cant deal with Homeland Security funding is the fighting within the immigration policy. Account leadership say can we please fund the department. Can we please not have this fight and lets see what happens in the courts . I dont see them using it that explicitly. I think the decision is a reminder that the Obama Administration will not only have to fight this here in washington and in congress but also in states. More than half the states in the union have joined this lawsuit against the immigration action. So just like obamacare and several other policies that the president has pushed through in his administration hes going to have to fight this just beyond washington as well. And youre right, im shocked about 21 approval in congress i dont know if ive ever seen it that high. Is that some kind of fluke with the weather thats happening . I cant understand it. Maybe they wont come back. Theyve spent 24 days in session, the house, 26 days in session, the senate thats not so bad. The question is why not be here at this week. If youre dealing with the Homeland Security dpatment about to go down. The president ial aopponentes, trying to get to have a fresh start, why not work until you get the big things done and take break . Because everything in life is Like High School closer you are to the due date friday the 27th the faster they get their work done. They will come back from this in a week and they will probably either agree to fund it or set up a shortterm continuing resolution to kick this fight a few more months. Important to point out, republicans would point out, they went five weeks essentially from start of the year to this week. Working straight. With only one day off from Martin Luther king jr. Day. Thats a departure from the past. But all they got done was approving a bill we know the president is going to veto. I think by comparing congress to high school you need to apologize to american High Schoolers across the region. Washington is like the fifth grade and every fifth grade is going to slew me for slander. Will this impact the debate . Maybe they can talk about the Court Decision were winning in the courts right now, this is republicans, maybe we dont want to have this debate in congress. It could shut down a very Important Agency in the government. Who would get the blame . A new poll says 30 of the people would blame president obama. 53 would blame the republicans in congress. 13 both. If your goal with the bigger House Majority and the new Senate Majority is to prove to the American People you can be responsible partners in government, do you take this risk . I dont think so a this point, thats why you saw them last week so aggressively, chris, you heard this too, republicans repeatedly saying its the democrats fault. Its the democrats fault, were six votes short in the senate. It didnt work. Because shutdown is synonymous with republicans, just as obamacare might be with the democrats. The idea that something is going to get shut down blame goes to the republicans, they cant beat it. So we had a shutdown in 2013 and 200,000 dhs employees still went to work because its a matter of essential and nonessential employees, but the Obama Administration still found a way to cause pain to make people see there was a shut down. That backfired on them as we saw with some of the memorials that were closed down. I can imagine that the administration would suggest maybe at the airports that the longer lines were the fault of a shutdown and if the, if the American People are blaming the republicans, that wont be a tough thing to do. Well see who blinks because republicans did get the blame when it happened last time. However, then time passed and an election came and we did just fine in an election. Well see whether the calculation kicks in and whether they think they can take the risk now, well watch it when the Congress Comes back. One more in the polling department on the authorization of military force, a huge question of war and peace. One of the reasons you say, youre right, they did work longer than normal and the beginning of the year why not stay one week more or two weeks more. Start the debate. The president wants war powers against isis. The Congress Says the president should not. But eight in ten americans saying give the president these powers. Do you put limitations what do you say about Ground Troops how long should it last . What about the next president . The interesting part is eight in ten americans say give the president this power and yet, do you approve of how the president is holding handling isis or disapprove about half 49 disapproved in september. Thats up to 57 , the American People want to give the commanderinchief warfighting authority. But theyre skeptical of how hes handling it. It speaks to seeing congress do its job. Interesting if you dive deep near the poll. Support for Ground Troops while still a minority percentage overall has climbed since the faum. Thats going to be the holdup mother than anything in this debate. Do you authorize Ground Troops . Where can they go . For how long can they go . Democrats on the hill dont want it to happen. Republicans are more open to it. If the numbers continue to head north, that will drive the debate more than anything. Theres no doubt that both parties want to have this debate. They want to give them some kind of authority. But the details are going to hold this up. Theres no doubt. We saw it dating back to the james foley beheading, sadly that the American People as they see the barbism of isis say we do have to open our mipds to more muscular policy. And they want to see something more restricted and the auf that was sent downing from congress was three or four years against isis and i think those restrictions will be what people want to see. And they want to see a debate in congress. They Want Congress to have a skin in the game. It will be a fascinate deeg bait when they go forward. Thats the big debate in the town. They did start the year work morgue than they normally do. Why do they disappear when they could have take an few more of these and run them out of the inbox and then gone home. Thats a peculiar work ethic. Well continue the conversation that youve just been having about terrorism. Because the white house is trying to take on terrorists with a threeday summit on extremism. But theres already criticism about this plan. Well bring you both sides. Doug, we have the results, but first, we have a very special guest.

Big day for the white house it is targeting terrorism. With the start of a threeday summit on extremism. The conference plans to focus on efforts to prevent extremists from radicalizing not only isis but in all forms, youve heard all the names. Is this summit focused the way it should be . Is it really going to be able to strategize in a way that it attacks the problem at its source or are we just too far into this the bat toll think we can start at the beginning . Lets discuss with someone who knows. Author of in the land of invisible women, dr. Qanta ahmed. Whats the central question . You know that the summit is based on these preparations in 2011 where they outlined where they want to, do we have a wholistic strategy we have al qaeda, aqap we have boko haram. You said dont get distracted by the many when you are dealing with one problem. Why do you think that is and what is that . Exactly. My hope is that this summit which is a move in the right direction, the white house is putting priority on something it identifies as a problem. Will be looking a the ideology of islamism and in fact the 2011 document referred mainly to al qaeda and to a communitybased approach in the United States. Thats far too narrow. Theres definite lay role for the Muslim Community in the United States but were not going to be able to solve what is a global opponent. The opponent is in opposition is seeking to attack and dismantle secular pluralistic democracy. Ky give you countless examples of that. And what i fear by labelling the conference extremism, the delegates there are going to miss the actual problem, which we are confronting a new warfare, the new warfare is jihadism jihadism is the violent version of Islamism Islamism can be nonviolent too, which is also not referred to in the 2011 document. But jihadism is not insurgency it is not terrorism tactics which are the language in which this has been discussed. Jihadism is the motive of islamists in order to produce a sharia state which is directly opposed to our secular values isis has done just that. In front of our eyes. Thats what were confronting and thats what the summit should be about. The problem is subtlety. Even though you would argue and have the on the show eloquently its not subtlety, its precision and accuracy. But to the uninitiated and politicians, it sounds like subtlety and what they deal with is how do we make people feel that were dealing with the actions that they fear . Put up the poll numbers. The americans arent happy with whats going on here. They disapprove. What does that mean to the white house . Weve got legacy concerns weve done well on the war in terror we killed osama bin laden, thats what theyre thinking they have to deal with that find some of the other polls, what theyre insightful about is the bar for americans is do we put our fighting men and women on the battlefield . You see there 5047, almost back to half. Thats the concern. I dont care what we call them i dont care what their philosophy is how do we kill them . How how do you take that and translate into a dialogue thats actually productive . With respect, i think the threats that were facing is something that is not going to be a popularity contest, we elect leaders and we have confidence in them to make the very difficult decision that may seem unpopular. In the United States even evaluating this problem has been constricted by fears or blatant calls of islam phobia and im sure our president is sensitive to that and because of these calls of islam phobia evaluating these problems its not just a concern about freedom of religious expression which is safeguarded in the states. Theres a on finement on freedom of critical reasoning. Our ability to critically reason this problem is limited because of a climate of fearing islam phobia. We didnt elect our National Leaders to be afraid to tread on to tread lightly when we are but they are a political of political correctness. If you Start Talking about islamism. Easy for to you say, you come from the faith and youre an academic. If i say it it is part of the faith, you start getting beaten up here. I want while the summit is going on for people at the summit in the United States to think this is not a problem to be solved looking at only one group. Isis is one of many manifestations of violent islamism. Which are geographically different, which are different in some of their associations but their objective is the same. We have been struggling to announce that the United States is in conflict with these groups these groups have had no difficulty launching their warfare on us. Until we accept this is a new kind of warfare were going to be misled into thinking we can somehow meet some social needs, employment needs, thats not going to work. We have to accept this is a new form of warfare and the summit should have been entitled the white house summit on jihadism. That is not jihad. Im a muslim and as a muslim im beholden to follow that which means number one, it means personal improvement. But number two, there is also the right for armed jihad, that muslims have. Which means to defend the right to pursue their religious belief. It is if it is under violent assault. So thats very different. And it is subject to codes of conduct in warfare. The jihadists from islamism do not observe any of those codes of conduct. Christian children elderly, unarmed men are all fair targets for them. And on one side the enemy. What youre dealing with in its manifestation of action in isis someone who ignores all the the rules and on the other side you have the summit where theyre too caught up in how many rules they want to follow and the how they want to deal with it and the right thing to say. Were a civilized nation so we follow International Rules of law, of course but we were remarking earlier. Im very fearful that the verbal paralysis we have, not just while were trying to talk about this but our political leaders, which are very much influencing Mainstream Media positions, i hope that that doesnt reflect a strategic paralysis. If i look back on what the last few years have revealed it certainly would seem that were also strategically paralyzed. Thats got thats good to change. Thank you very much. Well see what they do at the summit. Thank you, chris. Well bring you back in. My pleasure. As always. Michaela. Chris, thanks so much for your conversation there.

Automakers say theyre already feeling the supply slowdown. Winter weather is costing tax payers billions. Its not as bad as last year. They put the cost of this years storms at 1 to 2 billion. Last year it was 15 billion. Those storms hit more northeast cities and much of the midwest. It was much broader and bigger. This years storms really concentrated on boston. That city by the way, has already spent 36 million on snow removal. Thats twice its annual budget for cleanup. Gas prices have bottomed out for now. The National Average is up 7 cents in the past week. Thats according to aaa. Up 20 cents. Drivers still saving hundreds of bucks compared to this time last year when prices were well above 3 bucks a gallon. Looks like the prices have bottomed for now. I like how she says for now. For now. Absolutely. Thats the nature of it. Christine, thanks so much. The white house is set to tackle terrorism today in how to prevent radicalization. There is controversy about the approach. Well take you live to the white house. Weather is a terror of its own. Snow and ice covered streets mean this for us when we drive. Got to tell you though this suv has quite the ending.

This is a cult that should give the president the authority to fight. Only 30 of the public supports the president s handling of isis. Eddie ray rouths interrogation and confession. The ramblesings is going to be used. If you know the difference between right and wrong, you are not insane. Were standing on the river bank where we saw the train explode. Announcer this is new day with chris cuomo, Alisyn Camerota and michaela pereira. Good morning. Welcome to your new day. Its tuesday, february 17th, 8 00 in the east. Government and business reps from 60 nations are heading to the white house all desperate for an answer to the problem of extreme jihadism. The truth is not in dispute. More and more terrorism is becoming a cause for angry, ignorant and disaffected young men and women all over the globe. This as new poll numbers show the president losing support on Foreign Policy and his strategy to destroy isis so can this summit help . Lets get right to cnns White House Correspondent michelle kosinski. It sounds like pundants are already criticizing portions of the summit before it has gun, michelle. Reporter absolutely. Theres back and forth on various aspects. Weve heard the white house talk about the fight for isis is a regional fight because it poses an existential threat to countries in that region. Lately it seems like it takes Something Like a brutal murder specific to a country in that region to see, say, egypt join the coalition or jordan step up with airstrikes the uae to get back to doing airstrikes. So were going to see countries from that region take part in this threeday summit. In fact as you said more than 60 countries will. What they want to do is look at programs around the country and around the world and take a look at what is working and what is not working because weve also heard the white house focus many times on getting at the violent ideology is really key ultimately to defeating isis for the long term. The thing is this comes at a time when according to a new poll a majority of americans now say they feel the war against isis is going badly and is growing disapproval with how the president is handling terrorism. 57 responded that they disapprove of how hes handling Foreign Policy in general, but the white house wants this summit to highlight action that is ongoing as well as be a catalyst for more. Michelle kosinski. Thanks so much for the preview. Meanwhile, egypt launching another round of airstrikes on isis following the beheadings of a dozen christians. Were in minya of most of the victims. Ian. Reporter elor is a small port village. You wont find it on most maps but 13 of those men who were brutally executed by isis came from here. They went to libya looking for desent wages to create a better life back home but now this is a village in mourning while egypt is looking for revenge. This morning egypt appearing to gear up for war against isis in libya. Airstrikes hitting ten targets isis used for training and weapon depots up north in derna according to the Egyptian Government but islamist militias in the isis strong hold say they quote, woke up to disaster and claim the bombings killed women and children. Cnn could not independently verify these claims. We are hopeful that the strike was surgical with targeting specific installations and that there have been no collateral damage. Reporter the strikes, egypts immediate retaliation over the slaughter of 21 egyptian christians. According to an egyptian official they have already taken activities to restrict their finance activities and recruit am. The country is preparing to ask the u. N. Security council to treat the terror groups presence in libya as serious as isis in iraq and syria. This is definitely worth the border with libya. Dont wait until they come next to our border and threaten our border or try to penetrate our border. Reporter isis a growing threat as the brutal beheadings posted online rallies the nation. Al azhar, egypts leading institution, issued a ruling prohibiting egyptians from watching the video. This as egypts president declared a week of mourning in the muslim majority country for the slain christians. The states authority responsible for religious edicts in egypt said in a statement, the blood of our Christian Brothers and children is the same of that blood of muslims which belongs to the egyptian nation. Egypt seems fine with airstrikes. They dont want to put boots on the ground. It will likely remain like that. Ian lee, cnn, alor egypt. Ian, thank you. The grand mufti, head religious leader coming out condemning these actions early, even forbidding watching the video. The question becomes is the violence were seeing a problem or the symptom of the problem. Lets bring in a former member of the National Security council under president s george w. Bush and president clinton. Shes the author of going to tehran why the United States must come to terms with the islamic republic. Its good to have you here as always. Lets do this theres a debate going on. Is this our problem, our being the United States or is this their problem . Should the region take it . Is it a good thing they have had a finger stuck in their eye to fight their own battle. Your take on it is what . Well its our problem as far as we make it our problem, as far as we put ourselves in the cross hairs, and as far as we support, arm, fund and train governments that are perceived, theres a lot of objectivity about this but are perceived as essentially american puppets, doing the work of the american states and the socalled crusadeser west as we hear in the rhetoric of the Islamic State. The facts are today, even with the beheadings in egypt, even with the horrific killing of the jordanian pilot last week there are more jordanians today fighting with and for isis than against it. More egyptians today fighting with and for isis than against it. Right. Thats true in all of our socalled allies from turkey saudi arabia turkey Pakistan Saudi Arabia afghanistan. Were a news organization. Im supposed to say we im supposed to say the u. S. Right. It just doesnt work in this hypothetical. Im playing the u. S. In this. Right. What is the u. S. Supposed to do if this problem is sourced there, which you ak nong and these societies are repressive which is a common trait of 3 4 of the you know the sovereigns in this world, dont we have to assist them in some way to get them to deal with the problem there . At least to keep it insulated . Well theres a very pragmatic assumption particularly here in washington that there is something wrong with something pathological about islam which is generating these types of problems particularly in the middle east and in other parts of the muslim world. But there was nothing that we saw in this regard in the 1970s or the 1980s. Theres something new. Theres a new and very important element that we are so reluctant to come to terms with but is so important for the american public. What is it . U. S. Policy. The u. S. Policy since the 1990s of putting in deploying a million troops in 1990 hundreds of thousands of troops in the 2 2000s in iraq and afghanistan, trillions of dollars in arms sales, to both put ourselves on the ground as on the ground occupiers, perceived to and in fact responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of muslims. This is what the Islamic State and al qaeda before it has been able to use in the rhetoric. There are 90,000 social messages a day. All they have to do is put real footage of what the United States has done in iraq afghanistan, libya. How do you get the truth out, which is the iraq war was a bungled situation. America hasnt come to terms with why we went there, what was true what wasnt true but what should be universally true is that the problem is being incubated there. Those are the oppressive regimes. The United States does not have this problem with muslims in this country. This is the land of opportunity still, so how is it that the u. S. Is getting the black eye for what they are doing to their own there . Well because the way that it is perceived, and i think genuinely felt by and we see this in polling data throughout the middle east and throughout the muslim world, is that these organizations rise up and gain support as resistance organizations, as resistance to in particular u. S. Actions, u. S. Invasions, occupations and killings. That is what they are doing. Theyre resisting that and theyre resisting what they perceive as these american puppet regimes that just pile onto the american invasions with their policies on rendition, on torture. You know the american the Egyptian Government is seen in egypt by millions of people in egypt as an american puppet that overthrew their democratically elected moderate government. They dont see themselves as having another way to resist what they see, these massive attacks in the muslim world other than to join the strongest organization the Islamic State, that can resist this continued onslaught onslaught. Thats the message that works for them. The context about that perception isnt going to be helped by this latest poll obviously that americans Want Congress to authorize more military force in dealing with this question. Youre saying we need a different solution. Lets see what they come up with at this summit on extremism. It isnt the right word you shouldnt call it extremism, you should call it Something Else islamism Something Like that. Well get into it. Hillary, thank you so much as always. Appreciate the perspective. Thank you very much. The american sniper trial resumes in texas. On monday jurors heard Eddie Ray Rouths taped confession. The 27yearold veteran has pleaded not guilty to killing chris kyle by reason of insanlt insanity. Reporter Eddie Ray Routh looks far different than he does today. It was recorded after he surrendered after a car chase. Routh starts with a rambling and incoherent answer when hes asked what happened. He says i keep talking to chris. Theres a few dozen chriss in my world and its like every time i talk to another man named chris or get sent to another man named chris, it was like talking to the wolf you know . The ones in the sky are the ones that fly, you know what i sneen the pigs. The detectives ask, who did you shoot first . Routh says the one i could clearly identify. Hes talking about chris kyle here. I knew if i did not take out his soul he was coming to take mine next. He was in the middle of a psychosis, a psychosis so severe at that point in time that he did not know what he was doing was wrong. Reporter the investigator asked routh, after you killed them what did you do next . Routh responds i fled. I didnt know what else to do. Mia dren na lynn was so high. I department know what was right, i didnt know what was wrong. The detective then asks routh what he would like to tell the victims families. I would tell them im sorry for what ive done. Prosecutors say the tape proves routh knew what he was doing. Even the ones that this defendant may have or may not have dont deprive people of the ability to be good citizens to know right from wrong. Reporter and back live in stevenville, texas, where court will resume again today in less than two hours and, alisyn this was really a significant moment in the trial. This was the first time this jury was able to hear directly from Eddie Ray Routh as close to the moment of those murders as they will possibly see in this trial and judge for themselves his demeanor and state of mind. Alisyn. That is a significant moment. Ed thanks so much for telling us about it. We have some breaking news to get to. At least a dozen people are dead and 40 more injured after an accident at a carnival in haiti. Were told an electrical poll fell on to a float during a parade while people were celebrating mardi gras. Well have more details on this as they come into our newsroom. Breaking overnight, a federal judge in texas blocking president obamas federal action on immigration. The order is temporary but it does give 26 states time to press ahead with a lawsuit to stop the president s action entirely. The orders had been set to go into effect tomorrow. The Justice Department plans to appeal the decision. Investigators are on the scene now in West Virginia after a train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded in Fayette County. A second explosion shook the area around midnight. One of those burning train cars fell into a river and now officials are concerned that Drinking Water could be contaminated. They shut down two Water Treatment plants as a result. Still not clear yet what caused the derailment but the obvious is the weather. So many things going on right now. My goodness. Hopefully they can figure all of that out. There is another round of brutal weather bearing down on the country. Once again, boston is the bulls eye. How much more snow can my beloved boston handle and your beloved boston right, michaela . Were going to ask the governor of massachusetts what theyre doing. Shopping online is as easy as it gets.

Look at the shot from the white house. Just beautiful. It is part of a wide swath of bitter bitter cold. Winter weather hitting the midwest to new england. We have our reporters deployed from the nation. Well begin with semlin in d. C. Hi. Reporter definitely gridlock in washington. This is all but a ghost town. This is the most snow that washington has seen all winter. It is just declared a snow emergency by officials. Show you a little bit of the accumulation here. About 4 to 5 inches but this sort of snow is that light, fluffy snow the kind of snow that sticks right to the pavement. Why a lot of people are having trouble out on the roads this morning. Dc as you can see is all but shut down. The federal government is closed. D. C. Schools are closed. The White House Briefing has been canceled for the day. People are trying to avoid being out on the streets. And even president obama, he encountered some travel problems with the weather last night. He arrived at Andrews Air Force base coming back from california. He was hit himself by the snow and the bitter cold. That was about 9 00 last night. The snow lasted all night. He was forced to take motorcade back to the white house instead of marine 1. The good news is here for today in dc the snow is done for the day, but Officials Say to stay off the roads. It is still going to be below freezing here in d. C. Because were going to be dealing with this snow for some while. A different sort. We keep saying that. It is important for people to heed those warnings. Stay off the roads and let the road crews work on clearing the snow. Thanks so much sunlen. The south is not getting spared. Were getting word of 200,000 Power Outages in North Carolina South Carolina and georgia. Snow sleet, freezing rain making driving dangerous. Look at that mere disaster. The driver of an suv almost hits another car and almost a news crew. My goodness that was awfully close. Anna cabrera is nowhere near that but shes live in georgia where getting around is a bit of a challenge. Its snowy, slippery choppy chunkie on the roadways. You can see hardly any cars now as a lot of people have chosen to travel by foot. We see this gentleman walking across the street. Notice his feet. He doesnt have snow boots. We see a lot of that here. People in this part of the country arent really used to this snow at least not this much snow. You take a look. Were talking about six inches here in richmond. Of course this is piled up from all the great shoveling thats been done already here. This is a common sight all around this area where, again, they just dont see this amount of snow especially all at once. Not just the snow but the very cold temperatures. Temperatures in the teens today. Weve been like that for the past couple of days here in the south and they arent expecting temperatures to go above freezing until the weekend. And its that extreme cold that has a lot of people worried, especially in the parts of georgia, North Carolina South Carolina where they saw all of that Ice Accumulation in the past 24 hours. Thats going to be an issue with those 200,000 Power Outages so people are just trying to cope right now as we make it through this 2015 winter blast. Michaela. The one that never seems to end. Hopefully neighbors are helping neighbors, people are helping the elderly, the homeless. Again, the power outage is whats adding a real degree of seriousness to all of that the snow and the cold. Anna thank you so much for that. Youre saying virginians arent necessarily used to snow and cold. Well our reporters are. Were going to head to boston where we find ryan young. We know snowfall records have already been broken. More of the same is coming. I dont know where theyre going to put snow on top of the mountain that youre already standing on top of, mr. Young. Its going to be an engineering fete there in boston. I mean this is unbelievable how big this is. Talk about maybe four football fields worth of snow. I can tell you the heights back this direction are unbelievably high. In fact its like boston is in a fight with old man winter. Right now boston is not giving up. I can tell you were likely not to get snow yesterday. If you look around look at the size of this going back this direction. You can see how they stacked it up high. They have a snow melter theyre using in an effort to make sure they melt some of the snow. We have this at this point measure that were going to try to use as i walk across this. Maybe not. But essentially we have this pulled out at 117 height 11 feet 7. I use this and try to go all the way to the ground. Its something weve been working on for a while to see how massive this is. You cant see from my vantage point, but if you look back this direction, it is just huge. Theyre also running out of salt in this area and thats something they desperately need. They said more shipments are coming in. Michaela. Lets talk thank you so much ryan. Lets talk about whats going on in massachusetts and boston. We have the governor joining us charlie baker. Governor baker, how are you fairing . Oh, were having just a wonderful time up here. Were thrilled that were breaking all kinds of records, but im not sure its the records you necessarily want to break. It certainly isnt. Obviously safety is the number one concern, the safety of the people in your state. We understand youve been telling folks to stay off the roads stopping short of having a travel ban officially in place. You think were getting to the point with these these further storms set to hit your area . Well were i mean at this point weve had four major storms in the past three weeks so and for people to understand a major storm, i mean that means like at least a foot of snow. I think overall based on some of the visuals you folks have shown were talking, you know eight or nine feet of snow in less than a month and weve been melting it using these snow and ice melters at literally hundreds of tongues an hour and yet anywhere you go in eastern massachusetts theres still a ton of snow around. I mean its just been i will say this. I think people have worked enormously hard over the course of the past three or four weeks to sort of whittle it down and, frankly, people generally have been pretty patient about the consequences of all of this. I will say though it has been enormously difficult for local retailers and restaurants, folks who survive on main street traffic to maintain any sort of equilibrium from a business point of view. Thats too bad. Its just a function of where we are. Were just watching some of the images of bulldozers and front end loaders loading snow on top of mounds. I mean its just its really incredible the vast amount of snow. Youre talking about the local retailers there. You actually sent out a tweet yesterday declaring it unofficially valentines week. I sense its because youre not a hopeless romantic governor. You are looking to get relief from some of those mom and pop stores and businesses and restaurants. Are folks, you getting the sense, heeding your call . Well a lot of the local chambers and a lot of the restaurant groups Small Business groups took that valentines week proclamation and ran with it with their own marketing proposals. It was our way of figuring out some kind of way to spread the warmth over the week. Since it is School Vacation week one of the thoughts we had was that you know people might have a little more time. They might be looking for things to do with their kids and if we could just remind folks that theres plenty to do nearby that might help. But, yeah and, by the way, it would also give us a chance to continue to move snow out from some of our main streets so that folks will be able to access some of these retailers and restaurants. Thats the important part about getting business back to work is getting that snow removed, dealt with processed, however you want to put it but the fact is for example, the city of boston has already blown through 34 million this year. Thats double their entire snow budget. Is there going to be any relief . Can the state help with some finances with resources, any relief in site for some of these communities that are dealing with the expensive cost of snow removal . Thats been an issue for the state as well. We are certainly going to spend far more than we anticipated spending on snow removal. By the way, weve also asked for and received help much of which we pay for, from eight other states that have thankfully sent us manpower and equipment to help us with our snow removal efforts as well. We also bought a couple of snow melters and rented a couple to deal with this. And i think its a question obviously, that well be talking to our colleagues in local government about as we get towards the end of the year here but certainly anybodys snow budget no matter how much they put in it this year has probably blown it at this point, in part because, you know the snow just keeps coming.

I didnt know that until tv personality star jones told me. She fought and won her own battle against heart disease. Take a look. Reporter star jones wears many hats, attorney author tv personality, but the one she takes most seriously is heart health advocate. Heart disease is not an old white guys disease. Heart disease can affect any woman any time any race any size any age. Reporter a reality that slapped jones in the face after being morbidly obese for more than 20 years, she had gastric bypass surgery, changed her eating habits and started exercising. Eventually she lost 160 pounds. I thought i had accomplished everything i needed to on the health front, and then i got diagnosed with heart disease. Reporter even though jones felt and looked great, she was getting lightheaded, experienced shortness of breath and was exhausted. Those are classic symptoms of heart disease, especially when it comes to women. Reporter symptoms some women may just chalk up to their busy lives. Women dont take care of our health in the same way we take care of our families. Reporter something jones vowed to change after she had open heart surgery. I sort of wear my heart scar as a badge of honor because it means im a survivor. And stars goal is for there to be many more women like her who have survived. Of course you want to help. Go to fight no dont go to fight, go to cnn. Com impact and then fight. Thats a great reminder to hear her talk her personal story. The white house hosting a summit on extremism. As weve been telling you, this starts today. Its trying to fight radicalization but why are there such low expectations for this summit . Well explore that. Its happened. Cnn i added an n to that. Crowns the winner of its very first quiz show. Who knew the most about president ial trivia . That answer is ahead in case you missed it last night. The real question that needs to be asked is what is it that we can do that is impactful . What the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers.

From Research Data analytics all the way to transformation of clinical care. So you call pwc. The right people to get the extraordinary done. Jee gipt unleashing a second round of airstrikes against isis targets. Retribution for the beheadings of more than a dozen christians. Today the white house begins a summit aimed at countering terrorism. Lets bring in mr. Ross our counterterrorism expert and phillip mudd is our cnn counterterrorism analyst and former cia counterterrorism official. Lets talk about the news of the day and happening that egypt is doing. Phil ill start with you. In the past 24 hours egypt has launched more airstrikes in libya on isis targets. Do we know what theyre hitting and if theyre making a dent . No, i dont, but i look at what they talked at from the outset and it wasnt what i would expect to see if they were expecting to succeed. They talk about revenge. They talk about a campaign that will incapacitate isis. I dont have a lot of faith that the egyptians can do a lot of damage here. I think what theyre doing is striking a few targets just to prove politically back home that theyre going to avenge the loss of those 21 christians. The egyptians say theyre doing more than hitting a couple of targets. Last night the foreign minister was on cnn talking to erin burnett. Let me play for what he says. They go beyond airstrikes. And we have undertaken activities related to restricting the finances and recruitment measures of isis. This is participation of a military nature and we will continue to support the coalition and be part of it in various degrees and to various measures. Various measures hes saying in terms of financing, in terms of recruitment and military. Are you hopeful about egypts role . Yes, i am. And part of the reason why is because isis really is not a major player in libya. They finally have a geographic strong hold in libya which they did not have before. Theyre able to take over the city of nafolia which, all of your viewers, i guarantee, would have to look it up on a map. I had to look it up and i follow libya day to day. This is a marginal town. After they tried to get a strong hold in derna and make in roads there and were less successful than people thought they conquered this out of the way town which didnt have other isis presence. Theres the Dignity Coalition and don coalition. The don coalition contains a number of actors based upon geography but when the Islamic State carried it out, the Security Forces that were against them were part of the don coalition, the coalition frequently thought of as an islamist leading coalition. Theres a variety of actors. Isis is not the big actor in libya. The other place where you have isis presence is in egypt sinai. The group recently back in november took a pledge of allegiance to isis. Since then the Egyptian State has also gone hard after that group and tried to restrict a lot of the movement of fighters and finances and weaponry into sinai. So im not saying that things are going to go great for egypt, but isis is in a much less strong position in north africa than it is in iraq and syria. Bill any chance that egypt can play a larger role in the coalition . I think they can. If you look at central efforts, you see coalitions. There are conversations just this week among some of the african countries that border nigeria where boko haram has been such a skurge. You need a coalition approach to some of the expanding islamist groups. I think if the egyptians Start Talking to algerians and others and the americans how to sustain an effort over time this could be successful but the egyptians alone given the chaos weve seen in libya after the fall of gadhafi i dont think can resolve the problem there. Debaveed, lets talk about this summit. Theyre saying its about how to combat extremism. Theyre not calling it islamic extremism, theyre just saying extremism. How do you feel about that . Its a matter of rhetoric. There are a variety of extremism. An apparent act of extremism in chapel hill North Carolina. Part of the question with respect to this problem of the growth of jihadism is it has grown massively over the past four years. It seems to be that the white house still doesnt have a good understanding as to why thats happening. Were 14 years in the global war on terrorism and you just had this Ground Breaking article in the atlantic arguing that we should take isiss threology seriously. The fact that its 14 years into it indicates that we dont have a good understanding of the extent to which these groups are able to have their message permeate. Phil we dont have much time. What do you want to see come out of this white house summit . What i want to see happen wont happen. If there are conversations about how to talk to kids at risk in major American Cities i think those could be successful. Sort of like gang intervention programs. I fear though that were going to say we can counter message isis in a world that is the islamic world where we have no credibility. If i were at this conference i would be taking a nap. If thats the message, we dont have anywhere to go. Phillip mudd always great to get your perspective on things. Daveed thanks so much gentlemen. Lets go back to chris. All right. So the game show thing happened alisyn and jake won answering ridiculously hard questions like whos on a 20 bill while others were asked to basically tell where Millard Philmore was at 7 00 a. M. On a tuesday. Fair . Some of have you to participate. Of course you liked that. I was not asked. Spoiler alert. Well have them on. You just got a big bump in miles. So this is a great opportunity for an upgrade. Sound good . Great. Because youre not you youre a whole airline. And its not a ticket youre upgrading its your entire operations, from domestic to international. Which means you need help from a whole team of advisors. From workforce strategies to Tech Solutions and a thousand other things. So you call pwc. The right people to get the extraordinary done. Im louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. I told myself for so long that i needed to quit smoking. I would quit then id go right back to it. Chantix absolutely helped me quit smoking. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some people had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. Im not worried about smoking my next cigarette. To me that feels great. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. When heartburn comes creeping up on you. Fight back with relief so smooth. Its fast. Tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. And neutralizes stomach acid at the source. Tum, tum tum tum. Smoothies only from tums. Was Richard Nixon in a press conference in 1973 denying his involvement in the watergate coverup. The president resigned less than a year later. What was the name of the secret informant known as deep throat that worked with reporters to bring down the president . The name of deep throat that worked for reporters to bring down the president. Okay. Answer . Who is mark felt. That is correct. Lets take a look at how much you wagered. 400 points. That brings you 10 points above so you get it. Alisyn you guys win. That was for the win new days own Alisyn Camerota her triumphant partner jake tapper. Jake joins us this morning. Almost carried into the studio on the shoulders of alisyn. What he was throughout the whole show i had to carry jake. We should mention the fact that chris cuomo also was on the show and his partner don lemon. Chris and don were participants. I believe a competition that only involved three teams. I cant wait for you to do it mich. Nothing to say there about that. Jake first of all to you, because we heard this one panic. Her process was one of anxiety. She said that you popped quizzes on her during the week. You were concerned about her cramming. Were you a little worried going into this . I was a little we had some dress rehearsals and ill admit during a few of the dress rehearsals i was a little concerned, but then you can tell what kind of student she was also. She studied the night before and she came in and she was a boss. She was a boss. She was a boss. I really only answered probably about three questions right on the show but i would not have gotten those three had jake not been a task master and forced me to study. But its also about the strategery which is one of your words. His strategy was answer every question right before everybody. That was part of my strategy right. Alisyn beat me in the faceoff. That was all dirty tricks and chicanery. Mesmerizing you with the eyes. The eyes the lip thing. Very susceptible to it. In other words, you beat him . Yes. Like an egg. Youve got to remember it was basically 2 to 1. Got 2, he got 1 and there was a draw question. They took it from me. Whatever he had, you had twice as much. Ahhh. I like your stats. You won for your charity, home for the troops. Home for the charity. Amazing charity. If they should give they should build. They give specially designed mortgage free homes for disabled troops. We were talking. We couldnt tell them they know now. We said just watch. Just watch. Great. Thats fantastic. It was a nice thing to do. Everybody is making it sound like that was a given that wed play for charity. It wasnt a given. It was a good component of it and to raise money for these organizations. Absolutely. Were usually a little handcuffed in doing that. Were not supposed to pick charities. Jake does a ton of work for the veterans when hes not on camera. It was a nice opportunity to give back to the organizations we always want to help. It feels a bit like we let them down. Not for them. Bermans team lost by 10 points. This whole 10 point thing. We bet enough so that we would beat them by 10 points. We did the mast. That was jakes. We had done it in the dress rehearsal. We figured out it worked. We figured out how to win. Berman didnt show up to work today. Is that right . At least im here. Do you think hes upset . There is a bit of controversy brewing. You heard about this. Theres some people im not going to point fingers, that are saying that some teams got easier questions than others. The media is saying it online. They are like the new york times. That has a chris cuomo bibyline. Chris cuomo sucks. There were six categories. Of those six categories in one of them they got a tough one. We got first ladies. Thats not tough. I wasnt getting to the question of the first lady because don was making me guess the name of the president before we got there. Strategery. Well wrap it up by saying that this Victorious Team was so united. Look at 9 fact that theyre even dressing alike. You and jake matchy matchy. My game show wife. Im telling you. Were one now. The crucible of the show. Its a specific kind of tv wife. Jake, congratulations. Alisyn well done. Thank you. Chris. I cant wait for mich to be up there. Its going to be a good day.
