Promising to effect the nation and theyre warning people to stay off the road. If people have the ability to work from home do so based on the Early Morning reports it seems people have taken that seriously. Theres already significant snow falling in new york and connecticut and western mass and we fully expect it will be moving east with greater intensity. Bill cant say we didnt warn you, right and look whos up early. Does the electricity work in that room at this hour . I didnt know it but it does. We have lots to report things are better, thats the bottom line. Yesterday the National Weather service was predicting two feet of snow in new york city and boston and a foot in philly and six inches in d. C. And we got warm air from the atlantic onshore and until about an hour ago new york city was under a blizzard warning and predictions of high winds and two to four inches per hour for hours on end and this is the front of our building. Radio city music hall and 48th street coming across and you see the plow guys working but not as bad as they were afraid it would be. Heres snow totals and areas were expecting in washington it should end soon but for the rest of the region it will be a while. Lets start with washington. The government offices opening three hours late and it should be tapering in a couple hours. Much the same in baltimore, three to six inches in the baltimore area, jersey shore six to twelve inches up and down the jersey shore. New york city two feet. That will not happen, new yorkers. Right now four inches officially in central park getting sleet for a few minutes and snow and then sleet again. Its nasty out there and should continue for five or six hours before its over in central m k mark park and now its less on the south shore of long island. No color soo four inches across most of the it in boston the National Weather service predicting eight to twelve inches, amherst and springfield as much as 18 inches. The bottom line, the blizzard is nasty but the blizzard isnt going to happen. The weathers nasty but you see it moving faster than they thought it would. New york out to be out of the woods in four or five hours, boston a different story but look over here, rob schmidt is in it union square at 14th street. Rob, sleet, snow, what are you getting . This is so miserable. Its sleet right now but along with a 30 mileanhour wind gust and feels like youre getting stabbed by whatevers coming down at the moment and sleet and snow a little bit but the storm has changed enormously and youre getting sleet on top of it its turning this stuff hard and its also going to make a real mess on the roads. You can see the sidewalk. Its all going to turn to ice especially once it gets packed down by tires by people driving on it and the city is a little bit awake. It feels like 6 00 am on a sunday morning instead of a tuesday. Heres times square this is as busy as it typically gets. Its a ghost town. Theres a few people straggling along. Most the buddies i talked to arent working, everybodys working from home. Must be nice. Its a rough one. Theres not nearly the snow we expected. Its not come down at the capacity we expected we were expecting two to four inches an hour and just dumping and we got that for 20 or 30 minutes and you can probably hear it off the mic when the wind gusts come along it nails you. I saw a guy down the block on 14th street which gets a nice tunnel of wind through it blew him over. Not just wind but snow and sleet just a nasty day. If you dont have to be outside dont. Dozens of flight cancellations. The city is effectively shut down except for emergency service. Stay indoors if you can and the east coast getting a rough one. That ice is a bigger problem than you might think because the ice gets on power lines and anybody in the suburbs knows that could be a very bad situation. Look at flights. 2700 Flights Canceled in the new york city and 7700 in all up and down the United States. This is a live look here of leesburg, virginia. Its not the blizzard they were talking about if you look at 12 avenue of the america outside theres snow outside but not a lot of cabs and in new york city most everything is closed. We cant get the front of 1211 of the americas. One thing you should see because a lot of you are laughing at us with the snow and look at santa monica. Its dark out there. 6 00 in the morning but it will be sunny and 70 today. I dont know, bill hemmer. Santa monica sounds better to me. Bill wheres the trucks at 5 00 am . We have firstworld problems here because starbucks is closed. No . Shannon its true. Bill were trying to start the day without starbucks. Dirty water around the corner. Its cheaper. Bill nice to have you. You made it. Shannon and im a decaf kind of person. I made it with my snow boots on. Bill i made it. Shannon snow shoes. All right. Well, the white house is not responding to the congressional budget house report saying the number of americans with insurance would drop but tom price not so fast. We disagree strenuously and we believe it will cover more individuals and give them more choices for the coverage they want for them and their family not the Government Forces them to buy. Shannon chief White House Correspondent john roberts is live with more. Good morning, john. Hows it playing out . Pool ryan is encouraged by the cbo numbers but the white house are attacking not only the numbers but the credibility of the Congressional Budget Office and heres the reason why. Lets break it down to three groups of numbers. First the number they like, 337 billion. Thats the amount of money saved between the years 2017 and 2026 by getting rid of the subsidies with obamacare and replacing them with tax credits. This is the number the white house likes. Heres the number they dont like, 14 million and 24 million. The number of people the cbo will incredibly lose their insurance in 2018 because insurance going away and the number will grow to 24 million uninsured by 2026. The white house pushing back fiercely against the assumptions and here Mick Mulvaney from earlier this morning. We expected his to happen. The Congressional Budget Office we know and talked about for weeks before the report came out doesnt do a very good job at counting coverage under proposed insurance plans. Now, heres another number the white house doesnt like, 15 to 20 . Thats the amount by which the cbo said singleperson group will rise and premiums would decrease by 2020 because states then get money from Insurance Companies to cover people in highrisk groups. The president yesterday in his Cabinet Meeting saying it could change substantially by the time its approved by to the house. Were negotiating with everybody. Its a big fat beautiful negotiation and hopefully well come up with something terrific. The weather affecting the plans. The president was hoping to have members of the Freedom Caucus for bowling and friendly armtwisting on health care because of the snow at the white house it will have to wait until later this week. Shannon that must be the most fun thing canceled in washington, d. C. Now another story the wiretapping story. Theyre changing their position a little bit. The press secretary yesterday saying when the president initially set out his tweet about ten or eleven days ago the words wiretapping were in quotes suggesting not just wiretapping. He doesnt think president obama put a tap on his phone but could refer to any one of a number of surveillance techniques and he sent out subsequent tweets where tap was not in quotes. We havent yet heard from the president on exactly what he meant. Hes been asked the question a number of times and continues to ignore the question every time its asked. Maybe well get an answer one of these days. Shannon doesnt mean youll stop asking. Thank you. Bill and dvr alert the president goes oneonone with Tucker Carlson here on the fox news channel. It will be really interesting when tucker and the president meet. Stay tuned for that. Shannon im guessing tucker may ask about the wiretapping. All right, welcoming up House Speaker paul ryan said the cbo report is different and said it proves republicans are on the right track. If you read the entire report it exceeded my expectations. Its part one of a threepart plan and thats why im excited. Just this they say lower premiums and stabilizing the market and gives people more choice and freedom. Shannon but do the numbers tell the whole story. House Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy will join is live to break it down. Bill its called the mar laggo summit. Shannon and the hitting back on claims that officials linked to her campaign met with russias ambassador and aids to vladamir putin say this is his version of it. If you look at it with into demonize russia you will see there was interference in hilarys activities but its not true. V8 or a powdered drink . Ready, go. Ahhhhhhhh shake shake shake shake shake done you gotta shake it i shake it glad i had a v8. The original way to fuel your day. This compared to the status quo is far better. Im excited about the analysis and i think they overestimate the uninsured number like they overestimate who is covered under obamacare but if we dont force people they dont want to buy it they wont buy it and thats obvious. Bill paul ryan saying the cbo report is positive if the plan were to pass but it would reduce the deficit by 337 billion over ten years and that folks is real money. House Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy from snowy washington, d. C. How are you doing and good morning to you. If you put this to a vote now would it pass . In the house i believe it would and this is why. Theres other elements. Remember, its been put to a vote in two committees and every republican has voted for it and in those committees is a microcosm of our conference because they see even in the cbo numbers it lowers premiums and they can only score whats in front of them and its one of three phases so theyre not even able to look at what the second and third phase does. Bill if it were able to pass today why not put it to a vote and do it and get it over with . Because we go through regular order and both committee and then a Budget Committee and then rules committee and then bring it to the floor. Because we dont want to play any games. We want to do exactly as the structure says were supposed to and thats what were doing. Bill so we are debating the cbo report from yesterday. Newt gingrich said this last night with martha whether or not the cbo is onto something. They should abolish the Congressional Budget Office. Its corrupt and dishonest and wrong on obamacare and dont trust a word theyve published and dont believe them. Bill do you believe them . Trust them . I go through the cbo and know when theyre doing further projections and about peoples reaction. Theyre good on numbers of dollars but when they have to guess how people would react to it thats a very difficult thing to do. So lets look at what they say about dollars. Premiums will go down 10 and save more than 800 billion in taxes and youre seeing Small Business confidence rise today and youll lower the deficit by 300 billion. Thats without looking at phase two and phase three. Look, yes, we repeal the individual mandate so are people having insurance right now because theyre forced to and dont want to have it . Yes. Can we sustain the current projection no because the exchanges have collapsed one third of counties only have one option and then have you medicaid which in ten years is going to cost 1 trillion. Thats equal to the amount we use on discretionary spend from the military to agriculture to every department in government. Bill let me try to squeeze in two more things. Tom cotton said the threephase thing is a myth. Its not a myth at all. We have to go through reconciliation. If we wanted to just repeal and get 60 votes and wait for eight democrats to join us that bill would look a lot like obamacare. This is obamacare gone and we repeal the taxes and make a system that works and lowers premiums. Thats what the cbo says. Bill the argument paul ryan and others are making is that fewer people have insurance because fewer people are forced to buy insurance. Is that a tough argument to sell . No, its not. In the constitution does it say you have to have insurance in america . No. But what we do is today people have insurance that have deductibles up to 5,000. The premiums have continued to rise. They have spent money because theyre forced to because theyll be penalized by the irs and then they cant use it because they cant afford to out is. Why not create a Health Care System that gives People Choice and they decide the health care they want and have different options and costs less. That is what this plan does and it takes three phases to put it in to fruition. Bill i appreciate you coming in today. Sounds empty down there. Well, the planes arent coming in but im still here working. Bill thanks for making time for us, Kevin Mccarthy from the hill. Shannon the sledding on capitol hill a cool experience. The latest version of the travel order set to take effect. Theres a number of states trying to put a stop to it. Bill and executive order aiming to cut the fat in the federal government. How the president plans to cut back on extra spending. Today theres duplication and redundancy every. Billions are being wasted on activity are not direct results for hardworking american taxpayers and not even coming close. Yeah, i just saved a whole lot of money by switching to geico. Huh. We should take a closer look at geico. You know, geico insures way more than cars. Boats, motorcycles. Even rvs geico insures rvs . Whats an rv . Uh, the thing weve been stuck on for five years wait, im not a real moose . . Weve been over this, jeff. Were stickers im not a real moose . Give him some space. Deep breaths, jeff. Whats a sticker . . Take a closer look at geico. Great savings. And a whole lot more. Then youre a couple. Think of all youll share. Like snoring. Does your bed do that .

Of course, it depends on you, how hard you work. Shannon President Trump launch new plan to cut costs signing an executive order to allow his budget chief to look into departments and look where money can be saved. It requires a third examination of every agency to see where money is being waste and how services can be improved and whether programs are truly serving american citizens. We want to empower them to make agencies as lean and effective as possible and they know how to do it. Shannon joining me now is cohost of after the bell among other things. So the president is talking about making cuts and the secret is people dont want to save because theyll get less in their budget and people dont quantity to crackdown dont want to crackdown. The president is a businessman and when a new ceo takes over a common its common to turn to departments and say instantly i want you to cut 10 . Manager know this and know where the waste is and has been and not that theyre bad people and didnt want to cut it before but like you said if you give up room in your budget you dont get that back. So hes saying im forcing everyone to cut 10 . The good news is that when you expand again you know exactly where you want to hire and what the needs are. You spend the money the Second Time Around on technology instead of redundancy so its healthy. I know it makes people nervous and the second and third cut you cut to the bone but you skim the fat off the top. Think of your home the first thing you say is look at everyones cell phone or why are we spending so much on energy are we leaving a window open, what is this. You can find places the first time around. Its after that it gets tough. Shannon how much do you think will be from workplace atrophy. I think theyll have to make something meaningful out of the gate but this is exactly what hes always good at and i dont think people should be surprised when they see this come along. One of my favorite quotes early on is when Speaker Paul Ryan said he was blown away that President Trump looked at the Defense Budget and the speed and granularity at which he was able to slash. If they dont do it hell say let me do it for you. Shannon and how many people are entrenched in their employees and the fast facets in the agencies. Mick mulvaney will be overseeing the process and meantime we get the president s budget this week and people say it will also be aimed at shrinking the federal government. Hes saying i want to shrink washington. It wont be well received by anyone there. Just to see the real estate boom wen the rest of the country goes through booms and busts and washington doesnt. Thats not right. Thats not fair. Thats the money coming from working people struggling with their Health Care Bills and mortgages and family and rent and d. C. Year after year they vote themselves raises. He knows he was elected from the people outside to come to washington and cut some of that and it puts him at odds with almost everyone in washington and hes not afraid of the fight. Shannon i dont think so either and we are hearing from people in washington saying hell take the budget too far. We know it well. Shannon thanks for coming up. Bill. Bill a powerful winter storm shifting a little bit slamming the northeast and the impacts being felt by travellers across the country. Theyve canceled hundreds if not thousand of flights. More own that storm and claims that the Russian Ambassador meets with just about everyone in washington, d. C. Including Hillary Clinton. Hour panel takes that on.

Some places could get more than two feet of snow and looks like new york city may have dodged the worst of it. We fired up the fox news desk to shepherd to see what youre seeing over there. Well, its not a blizzard my friend. The storm moved a little bit moving from washington to philly to jersey shore to long island across new england. Its going to be a long night, boston. Heres what were looking at at Rockefeller Center and radio city music hall. Our plow guys working hard. Normally theres thousand of people on the street not this morning. Four inches in central park and i want to show you what were expecting for cities up and down the east coast. A map of whats still to come. Yesterday they said two feet for new york city. Thats not going to happen. Were expecting two to four more inches in new york city as it snows into the late afternoon. Albany more and in the poconos and more inches and in cape cod and the rest an inch or two in boston six to ten. More north and west and thats been the key north and west of all the big cities is where everythings going. You see the track its taking the red areas are a blizzard warning and new york city was in that and jersey shore alas its canceled. It will still be a miserable day and the wind gusts will be a problem and Atlantic City with a 48hour wind governments and nantucket and hyannis 20 mileanhour wind gusts. In la guardia 80 of Flights Canceled. 2800 canceled across the area. 5,000 across the east coast. 7800 canceled over the course of this week so far but theres still time out on Staten Island to ride a snowboard. This is behind a car only in Staten Island but a great sky cam. This a bald eagle in hanover, pennsylvania. This is a live picture. First time this picture has seen snow. Theres an egg under there. Shes not that pleased. To be pleased it would take a trip to miami beach from our friends along the 79th street causeway going up to 82 and we hate you. Bill ive seen pictures from western maryland and virginia theyve taken a lot of know. They were socked in some areas but maybe we got the best of it and things are back to normal. Coffee chops open. Thank god. Shannon claims of Campaign Contacts meeting with russian officials surfacing again this time saying it was teams with Hillary Clintons team meeting with ambassador krysliak and saying it was their job to meet with leaders regardless of party. If you look at people connected with the Hillary Clinton during her campaign you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind but there were no meetings about electoral process. Shannon joining me now editor of nation review and a former media staffer. That was a broad statement by dmitry peskov. He said some people met and connected. We saw people take this on and nancy pelosi and others had pictures surface and people supported Hillary Clinton. Will it be tougher when a picture pops that shows its just the course of business. It happens. They met. The thing to keep in mind is not that there were meetings or not meetings in regards to Jeff Sessions in collar he failed to disclose the meetings so no one is denying they meet but Jeff Sessions when asked about it under oath he didnt disclose it. Shannon couldnt it be an oversight because he filed paper work with the judiciary meeting just like others said they didnt meet with him. Is it possible . One place where we wont have fair and balance or credibility is by a press conference by the kremlin. None of this about the alleged hilary meeting with the officials has been substantiated but when the House Intelligence Committee brings the intelligence chiefs to speak to this well have more clarification on what went on and why. As i said before if meeting with Russian Ambassadors alone was a crime then half of the Donald Trump White House would be in jail but its not. Failing to disclose those is where we have the problem. Shannon heres what was said its not true which is why they word probably yet some meet with the ambassador and a lot of them support Hillary Clinton. I doubt the Russian Ambassador was meeting with the Clinton Campaign with the dnc hack and the issue of russia was a hot one the election. The ambassador meets with everyone. Hes a schmoozer and Democrat Officials say they didnt meet with him and theres nothing sinister about meeting with a Russian Ambassador except theres a haze of suspicion on whether the Trump Campaign was colluding and theres zero evidence and James Clapper said he saw zero evidence of that. Shannon rich, im guessing you agree with pablo which is always nice when you can agree with something and you dont want to take a lot of credibility from kremlin spokespersons. Of course not. They lie all the time. Its a heinous repressive government and we shouldnt believe a word they say and in general on the whole russian matter whether it was the allegations of collusion which theres no evidence of yet or leaks against Michael Flynn and others thats have a full and real investigation on capitol hill and im hoping that happens. I couldnt agree more. Shannon well hear from the House Intelligence Committee from folks connect to this. Does it give you reassurance it will be handled properly . I think right now we need to let the process play out but in letting the process play out we need to remember donald trump was on stage at Campaign Events for months calling for juliana sank and wikileaks to hack more Hillary Clinton campaign emails. He wanted leaks. He was celebrating leaks. He was the principle barker for the leaks in the political spectrum and now he has a big problems with leaks. Shannon and the white house is making a distinction between emails where someone answered a phishing scam and intelligence and atheyre Different Things and no evidence of collusion yet. Good to see you both. Thank you. Bill after slamming china on trade fox alert on this President Trump said to be hosting a meeting on Critical Issues between china and the country. Shannon and will the cbo become a hurtle as the republicans look to repeal and replace and democrats stepping up the opposition. This bill shatters the promises and delivers a massive tax cut to the wealthiest. Its a massive tax debt paid for by i work with people everywhere on sea, on land, and in the air. Inspecting towers way up high avoiding turbulence in the sky. Personalizing treatments with dna and recommending who should play. A dress that thinks, which crops to grow, tax prep to help keep payments low. You can find me on an oil rig, i answer questions small and big. Hello, my name is watson. Bill you remember President Trump fiercely critical of china and planning to meet them next month in florida. And Rex Tillerson heading to china and we have a fox contributor in dallas escaped the storm on the east coast. Thank you for your time. Explain a cultural issue to us first. Is it important that President Trump meet the chinese premier in florida at maralago because that is the same setting and environment where he met the chinese sorry, the japanese Prime Minister back in february . I think its it is a kind of cultural touch. I think the president was interested in the case of Prime Minister abe in establishing a personal relationship with a close american ally though one we have trade issues with and i think he sees the same opportunity with xi ping. If you consider maralago the southern white house its like george w. Bush taking team to his ranch or sometimes theres an invitation to camp david. Its a setting where you can have a more intimate conversation. Bill does it put them at the same level is the question im driving . Its close but abe was first but i think thats the right order too. Bill you mentioned difficult issues. I would guess the first one is north korea, do you agree with that or not . I do both because of the significant threats of north Koreas Nuclear weapons programs poses and the belligerent tone of firing missiles into the sea of japan and the rhetoric against the South Koreans and the United States and our military exercises and the political crisis in south korea cause the remove of the elected president and new elections coming in may. Its a dangerous time and bill and youve had previous administrations trying to push china to do something similar with little to no effect. Do you believe President Trump will have greater influence or does he meet the same wall . I think with respect to north korea the United States for 25 years has pursued a misguided policy of trying to get china to pressure north korea to make an agreement with us for tangible economic benefits and 25 years of diplomacy have brought us to the point of north korea is very close to hitting targets in the United States with nuclear weapons. I think we need a different strategy. I dont think thats produced a result and year 26 of diplomacy wont work either and i think we need to press we need to see reunification in the peninsula. Bill what about the currency manipulation and trade and how significant the issues were for candidate trump . Well, i think theyre significant issues for the United States. The argument to bring china into the World Trade Organization in 2000 was china will begin to conform to International Norms because of its w. T. O. Obligation and they have repeatedly violated their w. T. O. Obligations in discriminating against trade negotiations and have cozy deals with some and its a big issue and trump rightly focussed on it and will focus on the issues when they meet. Bill your name was in the hopper as the cabinet member in the administration. It did not go that way and Rex Tillerson will meet and that will be an interesting position. See you in person real soon, thanks. Shannon. Shannon iraqi forces closing in on militants as they get closer to taking mosul and what it means for the region and the bigger fight. Bill and how several states are rushing to challenge President Trumps travel order before it takes effect later this week and well tell you what thats all about. Shannon the state of washington asking for a Court Hearing as the state attorney generals continues his fight against the Trump Administrations latest travel order and theres a hearing scheduled in hawaii tomorrow. Dan spring ser springer is tracking it live. You almost need a scorecard. A court will take place wednesday in hawaii and judge james robart said therell be no hearing but ordered the white house lawyers to respond by 4 00 this afternoon to washingtons lawsuit so its possible washington ties hawaii by also getting to court on wednesday nothing new on the motion for the injunction to stay in effect and economic damages look more impressive in filing the washington suit writing travellers from the middle east spent 96 million in washington and more than 9 million in state and local tax and california received 200,000 visits for spending 206 million generating over 49 million in tax revenue. Thats one advantage to having multiple states sign on and they get to share the cost of litigation which is rising by the day. Shannon. Shannon what the expected chances of success for the washington suit . The legal experts i talk to say its a toss up. Legally it may be a stretch to call this revised order almost identical to the first one but could hinge on President Trumps word. He candidate trump said he would ban all muslims which is unconstitutional and that hasnt stops the states from including his statements as a candidate in the lawsuit. Theres no basis to assume because he said something as it a candidate its the reason hes doing something as a president and theres no historical basis for that. So again were expecting the government to respond to washingtons lawsuit with their legal brief today. Court tomorrow in hawaii. Perhaps a court also in Washington State tomorrow. Shannon. Shannon all right. Thank you very much. Bill so a House Committee said a deadline for the claim of a trump tower wiretap. The deadlines come and gone. What the Justice Department is saying today and well update that story and the battle to replace obamacare. Republicans are drawing the line and well talk to both sides in a moment House Majority whip Steve Scalise will make his case and then david brat will make his. Both are live only minutes away. Visit your local dealer for details. Shannon this is a fox news alert. Mother nature is not fooling around. Just days about the start of spring unleashing a massive winter storm across the corridor theres warnings in new jersey and maine as the storm moves. Im Shannon Bream in for martha maccallum. Bill im bill hemmer. Theres School Cancellations and its impacting travel. Tens of millions asked to hunker down, stay off the roads in new york city. The blizzard warning has been lifted but ice is still a major worry. The further inland you go the thicker the snow, frankly. Washingtons getting a mix of snow and ice. The worst storm of the season making roads and highways slick. Shepherd smith live in the fox news desk to track all of that. What are you seeing, my friend . Im seeing a lot of snow. The National Weather service predicting blizzards and two feet of snow in new york and boston and most the big cities but alas the storm took a turn and the temperature went up and warm air from the atlantic came ashore and it wont be so bad for the big cities. That said, inland a couple feet down the jersey shore could be near blizzard conditions coming. Lets go to the wall and show you what it looks like outside. The plows are working not a lot of cabs on sixth avenue in manhattan and well get to the Weather Center for an explanation why the storm took a turn and this is Rockefeller Center and its not as bad as we thought it would be. Another four hours of snow ahead. You can see the flags at a good clip because the wind is strong. How much snow is in the forecast for the midatlantic to new england. D. C. It will be ending in about an hour and in baltimore three to six inches. Along the jersey shore three to six inches. Six to twelve near new york city in and look at the new pictures in from Atlantic City from social media. Atlantic city Police Say Many of the streets are closed down. Theres widespread flood. Atlantic city will have a rough day with the flooding. Nobody out and about in the coastal areas. New york city, two feet was the prediction. Thats not happening. Right now more than four inches officially in central park and six inches in the bronx and La Guardia Airport and sleet and snow and that should continue to 2 00 or 4 00 and ten inches across new york city and south shore of long island not bad but north and west of the city still big up to two feet and blizzard conditions and in north jersey wind gusts 50 miles an hour for many people inland expect Power Outages for the interior and up towards new england. Boston just getting started. The National Weather service predicting eight to twelve inches on the vineyard and amherst and springfield eight inches. Heres the rest of the prediction, one to two in d. C. And poconos a couple feet and two to four in new york city and another six to eight in boston and ten to 16 in the albany weather. Adam is in the extreme Weather Center. Why the turn, what happened . The systems are driven by upper level winds and when youre talking about such a large system in such a large area just a couple miles can make a big difference. Originally the track would be further out to sea. Instead of lining out off the coast its ended up lining up and again it just takes a couple miles but its lined up along the coast and you see rain and snow and freezing rain and rain and snow and weve seen sleet in new york. Areas that would have been pure snow and maybe piled up quicker the warmer air shifted a couple miles and really its true because you dont have to go much further north to see heavy snowfalls as were still looking at blizzard warnings to the north of new york city and further up north. Heres the hourbyhour forecast and in well continue in new york city to hover along the line so you wont see big numbers but its further north where it will continue to pile up. Here you are at 5 00 p. M. The snow wrapping up in the evening and overnight hours and well be clearing off and get an idea of the numbers where theyre really piling up further inland. Adam klotz in the Weather Center and well go out to bethlehem, pennsylvania looks like a Winter Wonder land there. We were along long island and when we heard it was shifting north and west we drove here to lee high valley in pennsylvania where it has been snowing all night long. Blizzard warning remains in effect in the lee high valley and they tell us the snow could come down two to three inches an hour and its slowed a bit in the half hour so were getting sleet mixed with snow but the roads are in bad shape. You see a jeep there and weve seen some trucks and suvs. The truck here with city workers in the green jackets and theyve tried to dig it out from the snow trying to clear the intersection as the plows come through. Even the bigger trucks are having issue out here. A snow emergency was declared by bethlehems mayor meaning everybody had to move vehicles of the the main roads to get plows through and weve heard of a couple thousand plows out and National Guard to help out but its a beautiful picture but the town is virtually shut down. Rick levanthal, thank you, sir. They put the plows out early last night the plows were out in grenich village and theres not a lot of cars out and theyre able to plow regularly outside our building. I want to show you one little girl, sophia. Shes the main producer on this programs brand new daughter. Less than a year old this is her first snow, little sophia.

Shannon the Justice Department asking for more time to gather evidence related to President Trumps wiretap claim extending the deadline to march 20th. Where the committee is to discuss the russian meddling in the election. Were live in washington. Catherine the House Committee responded, how so . After the Justice Department asked for more time the House Intelligence Committee issued this statement, they want relevant documents before the meeting on capitol hill in part if the committee doesnt receive a response by then theyll ask for the documents and may result in a compulsory process if the questions continue to go unanswered. Were told a republican chairman is prepared to issue subpoenas. Yesterday sean spicer said the president s tweets about surveillance were not meant literally. He mentioned wiretapping and that spans a host of surveillance types of option and the intelligence committees will look into that and provide a report back. The first public hearing on russia this coming has invited current and former Administration Officials including the fbi director james comey. Fox is told some witnesses have responded whether they will attend. Shannon isnt there a second request for records on the bipartisan side. There was a republican senator Lindsey Graham and a democrat of rhode island and they sent their letter to a Senior Department official and they have oversight responsibilities because they lead a subcommittee on terrorism and crime and want more documents before next weeks public hearing. I expect it will take time but judiciary has control over the fbi oversight. Ive said ok, lets keep the Committee Process in place, regular order. So if the fbi runs to the Intel Committee and they testify there and dont respond to my letter i think its a mistake because the fbi is under our jurisdiction. On the senate and house side you see the fbi director james comey is under the spotlight to say the least, shannon. Shannon we know youre watching every twist and turn. Thanks. Bill republicans are reached the point of blowup obamacare or come up with another version. Steve scalise and dave brat are set to make their case next. Stay tuned. Shannon could this be the Islamic States last stance in the city have Coalition Troops finally have isis on the run. Bill and Michael Brown did he commit a robbery before the incident in ferguson and there was a final exchange with martha. Theres so many people in america with a bias they want to think Michael Brown say bad guy. Tais really quite simple. Est it comes in the mail, you pull out the tube and you spit in it, which is something southern girls are taught youre not supposed to do. You seal it and send it back and then you wait for your results. Its that simple. Bill the cbo estimates the federal Health Care Without reduce the deficit over ten years. By 2026 an estimated 52 million would be without coverage. A big reason for the difference is people are not forced to buy insurance under the republican plan. First up today republican congressman dave brat. Good morning and thank you for your time. Well bring in another republican in a moment and well contrast your two selling points and arguments. Good morning to you. Thanks, bill. Bill what needs to change to get your vote . Well, i taught economics for 20 years and trump the biggest thing hes selling is bringing the price down. Bucket one focuses on coverage and thats all good but if you dont bring the price down and you mentioned in the remarks early you can choose your policy but we have essential Health Care Benefits that are mandate the federal government. So when you go to shop across state lines you can only find the old remaining socialist product. We have to change that. If we put bucket two in the law getting rid of Insurance Regulations when a young person goes to buy a cheap policy they cant get one in the state theyre in because federal regulations and in my own state this morning in the newspaper theres any state who expanded medicaid coverage will get bonuses and the physically responsible states like virginia which didnt do that were getting 87 million and if we dont expand theres 3 billion. Its inequity being run by the federal government. Thats the problem i have. Every civilization falls and declines eventually because the federal government gets bloated by paying too much attention to the cronies and power elites those the only people who want this thing. Bill youre a long way off from being satisfied then based on that answer. Yeah, no. We want trump to be a success and well own this thing. Were saying the secretary says he can do a lot with the insurance if the secretary does it it will last four years. We want free markets and thats what made the country great. Bill when you talk about President Trump have you expressed this to him yet or not . He just wants a great bill. Hes open to negotiating. We talked oneonone for ten or fifteen minutes last week and got along great and differed on some pieces because he think the secretary can make the changes and he can. The hard part is its the permanency that matters. Right now if we dont get that second block into law and third block the third bucket well never see prices go down. All the Price Reductions are due getting rid of the insurance reg the platinum and its not a price reduction in your policy its a price reduction from obamacare centralized care policy pricing going up 25 so a 10 reduction from a 15 increase is still high. Bill my heads going to explode if we keep talking numbers here. Give me a moment. I appreciate your time. My takeaway from just listening to you talk is that youve got an along way to go before your satisfied. Thank you, stay in contact and well see whether or not you get pushed further down the road. Dave brat thank you, in virginia. Thanks, bill. Bill House Majority whip Steve Scalise for the other side. Sir, thank you for your time as well. You both play in the basketball gym together i guess at some point maybe you can make the case. How would you talk him into buying your side of this argument now . One of the biggest concerns congressman brat has had as a lot of the members had as well they were asking before the cbo score came out will it lower the cost and save money for premiums for families. Clearly you can check that box because this bill is confirmed by the senate and will ultimately result in a 10 reduction in your premiums and costs will continue to go down. Thats not the beginning. Thats literally when you see the ability for a freedom in Health Care Number one youre seeing in the numbers that millions of americans, 14 million by cbos estimate dont want obamacare and forced to get it and when given the choice theyd prefer something better. The plan is better because you get rid of the mandates and we zero out the penalty and cbo confirms we cut taxes for families by over 800 billion and reduce the deficit. Those are big important factors because obamacare is not just about higher premiums, its been a big job killer. Well be able to create more jobs in our economy by getting rid of obamacare and lower premiums for families and cut taxes and reduce the deficit and thats just stage one of the threestage process. Bill just listening to congressman brats explanation there, he had a big long list of things he needed to get satisfied there. Without getting too deep in the weeds in all that, both sides are a long way from coming together to meet one another. If thats the case is this something that goes on for weeks or for months do you believe today . Were not that far apart when you look at the items members have been bringing forward. Weve been working closely with President Trump whose been part of the negotiation and does that reel three well. If you look at the big items remaining theyre very narrow and only a few and weve got most agreement on the final pieces that were trying to close out in these next few days but the cbo score does help because it confirms the question members had does the plan lower premiums. It does doubledigit lowering of premiums and thats part of the threestage process and gets better when you look at what secretary price can do and the second is will it reduce the deficit. Well save the taxpayers money by an 800 billion tax cut. Bill last question you both mentioned President Trump. In the end will he ask you to give a little and people like dave brat to give a little . The stage were at is giving and taking along the way. The bill has the bulk of what any conservative would have put together in the Health Care Bill over the years. Number one it returns power back to families. You dont have government bureaucrats telling you what you can and cant buy and you have the freedom to choose your health care and defund agency perform abortions like planned parenthood. When you look at lowering costs its something were addressing in the bill and a lot the secretary can do. Bill to be continued, right . Yes, it will. Bill i appreciate your time though. Steve scalise thank you for coming back and congressman brat before that. Shannon. Shannon as we await the republicans working out their differences if they can democrats youre looking at Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and were keep you updated with what they have to say. Another member of the house Freedom Caucus with fighting worth for karl rove. This is not tom prices bill. This is certainly not what we promised the American People. Karl rove knows that. This is smoke and mirrors when we suggest were going to dupe the American People. Shannon he said he would debate karl rove and karl rove is here next to respond live. Stay with us. Youll get a free checked bag, 2 united club passes. Priority boarding. And 50,000 bonus miles. Everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. The united mileageplus explorer card.

Tech howd ya do . Player we won tech nice thats another safelite advantage. Mom thank you so much team sing safelite repair, safelite replace. The president has said there will be a blood bath in 2018 if this isnt passed. I believe if we dont keep our word to the people who sent us here look, the most important thing for a person like myself who runs for office and tells the people were asking to hire us this is what ill do if i get elected and then if you dont do that youre break your word. Shannon thats House Speaker paul ryan on what he think will happen if the republicans cannot response obamacare. Some are predicting a bigger bloodbath of the chaos and dire predictions of loft coverage for millions. We have a Fox News Contributor karl rove. Good morning. Good to have you no blizzard in texas. Should i turn on the pool or spa . Shannon and bill wants to know if you have a drink ready. Weve had members the Freedom Caucus and we want to give you a chance to respond. If he wants to bring out his white board and debate it i welcome that. If karl rove wants to look at tom Prices Health care he needs to look at section 2 and 3 i endorse. It repeals the mandate and does what we promised the American People. This is not tom prices bill and not what we promised the American People. Its smoke and mirrors when we suggest well dupe the American People. Shannon karl, are you trying to dupe the American People . I think thats over the top. I understand why he was a little upset but lets go to the bills. And viewers can go to readthebillgop. Com and read intersection 205, page 81 it zeros out the individual mandate. Section 206, pages 81 and 82, zeros out the employer mandate. Its in the bill they basically kill the provisions and make them inapplicable in the bill hes been asked to vote on. We can argue how you go about doing it you can pass it through the senate with 51. The version i suspect he favors repee repeels repeals the law and if he thinks he has eight democrats in his back pocket he just needs to tell us that. The part of the bill he didnt talk about the attacked the idea of a refundable tax credit for those who dont have an employer with Health Care Coverage saying its a new entitlement. In 2015h. R. 2300 had a tax incentive section 101 refundable tax credit for Health Care Insurance coverage. Its a bill mark meadows cosponsored. Hes the ninth name on the bill. Go to congress. Gov. Hit the legislation tab and youll see he endorsed a bill that called for refundable tax credit. Shannon youve given folks a lot of homework. Is that one white board with two sides i have another one for a different subject. Shannon before we get to that you know theres objections from the right saying its a new entitlement with tax breaks for people then on the left though theyre pointing to the cbo score saying 24 Million People will be left would coverage. Its critical they get the 51 votes in the senate. We have folks like senator tom cotton cautioning the house saying do not walk the plank for this it will not pass in the senate and saying it will fall apart. Your response . I think hes right therell be a backlash if we dont pass something but goes to show how fast a house member when they go to the senate change theirs mind set. In the house the last thing hed want a senator telling him is the house has to write a bill to pass the senate. Its up to the senate to determine what will pass the senate. The house will send a bill and the senate will not adopt it in that form, theyll adopt a different bill and it will go to conference and the differences will be hard out hashed out but the idea theyll pass a bill to meet the senates objections from the get go is unrealistic and unusual. Shannon hes been on both sides. Good to see you. Thank you, shannon. Bill the fight against radical islamics terrorists well look at what it means in a moment with a retired general. Shannon Iraqi Forces Surrounding the enemy in western mosul. How close they are to reclaiming that isis stronghold. Al clients and big data. But i found so much more. its really a melting pot of activities and people. applause, cheering new york state is filled with bright minds like victorias.

The blizzard expected for new york didnt hit the city and in parts of pennsylvania and maryland and virginia and plus the storm up the coast in the bit of a barnburner. E it could were not out of the woods by a long shot now and a lot of snow still drifting around new york city. 30 degrees, feels like 11 but in miami if you are so lucky its 72 degrees. Shannon we are not so lucky. Bill going up to a high of 32. Shannon you wouldnt want to spend your time getting down there and have clouds. Bill does it make you feel better because its cloudy . Shannon no, but worth a try. The fox news alert in the fight against terrorism iraqi forces have surrounded isis in western mosul. Its the last major stand of the Islamic State in iraq. More than 60 of the territory has been taken back. The eastern side of mosul was retaken by isis in january. Were joined live from jerusalem and what is next in the fight . Shannon, iraqi troops will continue the offensive and advance into western mosul as they gain more ground. Bad weather though has hampered some efforts or at least yesterday there was wind, rain and low visibility and that worked in isis favor but the advance has been faster than the offensive to retake eastern mosul so thats a good thing but the fight continues as we speak. You see the latest footage from western mosul. Theres an estimated 2,000 isis fighters held up in the city surrounded but not only are iraqi troops dealing with a densely populated area of urban combat but an estimated 7,000 civilians remaining in mosul and the old city of mosul. Some streets are very narrow so its difficult getting Armored Vehicles into get some of the areas but iraqi commanders say the end of the battle is within range and theres no definitive time frame but the battle is progress. Shannon david huddy with the story. Bill general jack keane good morning to you and on mosul i guess eventually you win this fight i think you would agree with that but what comes after that you believe is just as important. Explain, sir. It really is. This is dense urban fighting to be sure as john mentioned in the intro. It will probably take a few more weeks to retake this and the rest of the city but the political end state is as important as the military campaign. If the kurds and shias arent part of a unified political government we could still see a civil war. Its vital the political unity come about. Its been camouflaged over because of the military campaign and theres great divisions inside of iraq. And the other thing is coming. President trump is going to have to decide how many troops will he leave in iraq or pull them all out as president obama did. I suspect hell leave them and thats not just to help the ira iraqi army bill but it gives us leverage and reduce the influence of the iranians. Bill so even after isis is defeated you go back to the sunni shia battle. On the move to another story wall street journal is reporting under president obama the cia would locate a target under the Drone Program but the u. S. Military would carry it out and the Trump Administration is look being to looking to put it under the cia. Whats the biggest change or distinction if you carry it out that way. The 9 11 wars weve been at now 16 years the cia has been conducting drone strikes. Under the Obama Administration as you noted though they began to pull them from the drone strikes and make it exclusively a military operation relying on the intelligence and provide it to the military. Now going back to the cia i have no problem. I think the Trump Administration is not largely going back not because one agency does it better than the other but because its covert and classified and doesnt get discussed. When the military has conducted an investigation its more open and considered more public. That doesnt mean the covert actions wont be reviewed, bill. The congress and the United States representing the American People have two committees, house and Senate Intelligence committees that are exposed to every single covert action the cia takes in a classified manner. The so the oversight will still be there. I think its fine. Its about keeping it secret and covertly. Bill does it make it more transparent. If you go this route under mike pompeo can you kill islamic radicalism faster than you could otherwise . The advantage you have is it stays covert and be more effective. The military will still conduct drone strikes. They may be doing the largest number of them but this will be special highvalued target and done in countries that we may not want to admit the fact we is have a presence there. Bill understood. General, thank you. Jack keane two topics this morning thank you for coming in today. Good talking to you, bill. Shannon public Surveillance Video and a filmmaker using it to go over the killing of Michael Brown in ferguson, missouri but does it change the story . Well have a fair and balanced debate next.

Shannon a newly released video raising what what happened in a Convenience Store before the deadly shooting of Michael Brown in 2014. Police said one video showed him robbing the store. A documentary filmmaker said a second video shot 11 hours before that shows brown trading a bag of marijuana for cigars and said it casts a different ve version. He didnt rob the store and anyone who sees the video understands what happened. Some people in america have so much bias inside of them they want to think Michael Brown is a bad guy. Shannon Leslie Marshall is a syndicated talk show host and Fox News Contributor. Good to see you. The earlier video shows a conversation or exchange with Michael Brown 11 hours before the second video the owner of the store says this is the one in which you see him taking something and they say stro strongarming his way out of the store. Theyre two videos. These are videos the police have seen and the family has had these. Is the filmmaker trying to be opportunistic in reigniting the fight because its not new video including to the grand jury. The grand jury was not presented with the video because it was irrelevant in what was being looked at with regard to the officer and the indictment of the shooting. The Police Officer said he stopped Michael Brown from walking in the mcdonald middle middle of the street. I think people have their opinions strong whether its for or against the police or Michael Brown and i dont see honestly even as a liberal democrat the documentary would change anything and think it fans the flames not yet settled on the issue and especially in that area and the divide between the community and the police. Shannon dana, the attorney for the Convenience Store said what happened is the video is he had edited in a way that is deceptive the video 11 hours before the shooting shows Michael Brown coming in with the merchandise and leaving something on the counter and returning the merchandise. He says he was returning the attorney said he was returning drinks and cigarettes and the folks in the store restocked the shelves and put them back and there was a conversation that went on but the attorney said there was no exchange. There was a hint there was a drug deal and he says none of that happened but the filmmaker says basically if you think you can watch the videos and not think Michael Brown was wronged youre just a racist. Yeah, thats insane. I have to say, shannon, i know this is rare this happens but i agree everything leslie just said. She is absolutely right on this. I dont think the i know, were alike. I know, the documentary doesnt change anything. Im bewildered by the argument that this mill many maker, jason pollack is trying to basically say you know, he didnt go in and rob anyone. Hes a drug dealer. That makes it better. Still even then there was no Cash Exchange and the store owners were saying he still stole. This doesnt change anything. What happened happened. It didnt change the fact he didnt try to attack and kill a cop with his own gun according to three independent forensic investigation and had his fingerprints in the trigger guard and the gun powder residue on his finger was consistent and its sad to me because i feel its an opportunistic Michael Moore wannabe and fan the flames further in my city. A city thats endured so terribly much and on opportunists like this guy needs to stop. Shannon do you think thats what it boils down to were talking about an investigation led by eric holder and we have the grand jury findings and prosecutors all saying the version of events spun in favor of Michael Brown the dna and witness witnesses onsite dont match up. Do you think this guys trying to get attention . Anybody putting out a film im 20 minutes from hollywood and yes, anybody putting out a film wants attention but though theres evidence and there are decisions theres a grieving, hurting family and i can understand as a mother who feel they dont have justice and want their day in court and they feel that this document perhaps backs up their idea or version of events and when i say that what i mean is that there are still people out there that are not settled on this issue and are not comfortable with the lack of an indictment or the way things turned out certainly because of the loss of life of this young man. I dont think perhaps its just that hes putting it out for attention. I do think there are people out there who support what he is doing and welcome this being put out this so people can look at this a different way. Shannon they certainly do and we have to remember there are real people who lost someone in the middle of this and they deserve the facts. Thats only fair to them and the memory of their son. Shannon, not to be preyed on like opportunistic film makers like this guy. Shannon good to see you both. Bill paul ryan will join martha tonight at 7 00 eastern time this evening. In the meantime john scotts coming your way in ten minutes. Good morning to you. Good important, bill.

Hes the green money you can spend now. Whats up . Gonna pay some bills, maybe buy a new tennis racket. Hes got a killer backhand. When its time to get organized for retirement, its time to get voya. Bill underway before congress on the online sharing of nude photos of female Service Members by current and former u. S. Male marines. Were watching that and the story broke last week. How unusual is this hearing now, jennifer . Its very unusual since it addresses an ongoing criminal investigation but shows how serious the marine corps and the navy and legislators are taking the scandal involving allegation of predatory behavior and sexual comments and there were marines taking part in nato exercises. Hes just deployed 400 marines to syria. He and the acting Navy Secretary had tough words for the active duty marines and retired marines who whose behavior is deflecting it from the focus. And the website marines united uncovered a grievous breakdown of good order and discipline and violation of our core values and what amounts to an insider threat. I would ask to take this opportunity to speak to every female in the marine corps and im outraged as your command and the when given the title of marine. Hes pleaded for those affects to come forward and this was just brought to the marine corpss attention in 2013. Females who i have spoken to said the internet laws arent Strong Enough to protect them. Bill did you expect the women to come forward . Have any suggested they will . Im told ten have come forward so far and it wasnt just nude photos but these Cyber Stalkers took photos from instagram accounts and posted them on the marine united website.
