Days ago the automatic cuts kicked in. Exactly what are the immediate affects of all of this. Who is being furniture load, who is being laid off and what services are being cut . Doug mckelway is live in washington with more on this. What are the impacts were seeing so far . Reporter as you undoubtedly know life is totally normal for the vast majority of americans but that is not to say that sequester impacts are not being felt. House press secretary told reporters yesterday that warn notices, the Government Contractors for worn their employees of potential layoffs have already gone up. They have stopped training for all units except foes deploying to afghanistan. The department of justice transmitted approximately 115,000 furlough notices to all doj employees. Reporter new secretary of defense chuck hagel elaborated on some of the cuts, defense cuts already in effect. Effective immediately air force flying hours will be cutback. This will have a major impact on training and readiness. The army will occur trail training for all units except foes deploying to afghanistan, adversely impacting nearly 80 of Army Operational units. Reporter those impacts are subject to potential change depending on what congress does with the continuing resolution. There are other impacts being felt right now, Homeland Security in a poll tanee described somjanet napolitano described some of them yesterday. You are already seeing affects at the big airports, for example, some of them had very long lines this weekend. Reporter waits for customs inspections at miami interest nation and and at new york apartment jfk were over two hours, longer than normal. Jenna at a local level we seeing any impacts of federal dollars drying up or programs being curtailed because of the sequester . Reporter youre affiliate here in washington wttg is reporting that the d. C. Housing authority has stopped issues new housing vouchers. Weve asked our other affiliates around the country to provide us information as it comes in. Even as the cuts are in place it looks like many Government Agencies are hiring anyway. Monday the u. S. Forest Service Posted a job add looking for Summer Recreation aids. The irs wants penal in maryland. The us mint wanted people to press coins. The Agriculture Department needs inspect protectors in phoeni protect proceed tucks workers. Jenna all right, doug thank you. Jon for more on the sequester cuts and the upcoming drama surrounding the continuing resolution lets bring in amy stoddard, columnist for the hill. In ordinary businesses if you were really in a world of hurt financially you would institute a hiring freeze. The federal government hasnt seeped to think about that this under this sequester mess, ab. No, the problem is again we dont know how the daughte cuts are being implemented. We are not sure why different departments can still be hiring when other once are saying they are cut indiscriminately and they will hit serious programs that are necessary and productive and really impact our readiness on the military side and ultimately be damaging to the economy. Thats why its so miss tea mysterious the process of this cut and the way it was designed that its hard for any of us to find reasons why they are still hiring, and it will be harder for them to explain why they did. I suspect well be hearing about the sequester for months to come, there will be over sight hearings on capitol hill about why immigration detainees were let go, why there was still hiring going on. There is too much mystery surrounding the sequester and thats why its more troublesome and it is substantively because no one understands what is going on. Jon one of president obamas aids said its a selffulfilling kind of mess. He came out and said food is going to be poison, and the illegal aliens will be let go. The sky is going to fall essentially and here we are working and living under this sequester and no one foals a huge difference. No one is going to feel this for weeks or months to come. It wasnt supposed to be felt immediately. We will hopefully see the Congress Move ahead, republicans and the president and the democrats, with plans for budgeting for next year. The sequester is going to take us through september unless its enshrined into law for the next ten years and they dont do anything to reverse it. I imagine were going to see some attempts, however, you see republicans already proposing ways to add flexibility to the pentagon so that they can push in the blow of the sequester. So in the end if they can come to bipartisan agreements parts of the sequester that are going to be the most reckless will go away. Jon republicans have come up with a pretty aggressive plan for a budget that actually balance stphs. Balances . Yes, part of the agreement between republicans themselves to restkwepbs this series of budget crisis and put the debt ceiling increase off until some time in summer is an agreement that they would try to come out with an annual budget that balances the books much faster than last time. They were look at 2040, this time it will be 2023. Thats ten years off. The details are not made hub yet, but what is under consideration is making some republicans nervous, because we are in such a period of slow growth, we are trying to absorb the sequester, we are paying more in gas prices, we are paying the payroll tax americans were spared for from a few years. If sequesters impacts are damaging their very ambitious plan to cut more, including entitlements might be met with some what of a backlash. Jon all the experts say you have to cut entitlements if youre going to get your arms around this problem. Thats true. Jon ab stoddard from the hill. Jenna the dow hitting an all time high today.

Police say julio acevado is still at large and was arrested on a drunk driving charge just last month. He served ten years in prison in the 90s for manslaughter. Jenna what was supposed to be a routine flight didnt end that way for one pilot when he says he saw an Unmanned Aircraft just a few hundred neat away from his plane as he was preparing to land at new yorks jkk airport. Rick leventhal is live in new york. Did we do anything about the untkepbd flying object. Reporter one pilot said it was a pwroepb. Even if it was just a hobbyist toy craft it raises serious concerns according to some investigators. It happened half 1 00 yesterday afternoon. The pilot describing what he described as a black drone, Unmanned Aircraft hofg just 200 feet from his jet on his final approach to runway 31 right at jfk, which by the way is one of the busiest airports in america. The faa is investigating and says the pilot reported the sighting 4 to 5 miles west of the airport at an altitude of roughly 1500 feet. It looked like a black drone a meter square with helicopter rotors on the corners. The aircraft did not take evasive action. It landed safely. They say they cant remember another incident like this at all his years at the airport. Jenna its easy to let your imagine get the best of you with some of these stories, rick. Is there any indication at all, any indication that this could be terrorism related . Reporter it certainly could be and the fbi is also investigating the incident. Even if it was just some guy flying a Remote Control toy it could pose a danger to aircraft. Weve seen what bird strikes can do. Any object can cause problems if its sucked into an engine. The faa referred us to the operating standards written in 1985 that provides for Remote Control planes like you see here 400 feet is the limit. Anyone flying the craft within three miles of an aircraft is required to notify the tower or faa. This incident happened outside that threemile perimeter but well above the 400 not ceiling for lobbyists. They want to find out who owns it and what was the reason for flying it through and approach pass. Jenna the feds are saying eye not theirs, they are not talking about that. Reporter they havent confirmed that either way. Its certainly a possibility. Jenna you probably would know if its not a model airplane as youre coming in for a landing. Stay on it. Reporter the feds ive spoken with were surprised to hear about this. Jenna very interesting. Thank you. Jon we see what happens when a tkpwao goos gets ingest ned a aning anyone.

Jenna a record breaking day on wall street the dow jumping more than 140 points this morning sur passion an all time high reached in 2007 before the big crisis, the big banking situation, all of that. Now weve recovered that lost ground and then some today. The market gaining steam over several weeks as weve been warned that the affects of sequester cuts which included estimates of hundreds of thousands of joblessess and lower economic growth. Why the juxtaposition . Why are we seeing a market rally despite the dire economic warnings. Mike san tony is a columnist. What goes on with this market . It seems like there is a bit of a divergence between the two news items. The dow has been rising for four years now. We were at a generational low four years ago and business profits have actually kept pace with the dow. The dow essentially reflected the fact that Corporate America has remained strong, lots of cash, all the rest. The at thing with regard to sequester is there are offsets. We saw this coming from so far away its a very broad and very kind of pervasive but in any one area not a huge impact in terms of dollars that impact big companies. I think thats why the market has taken it in stride at lowes so far. The other thing is more is going to be invested this year versus last year in howing construction than were luigs in the stimulus. Jenna interesting. Lets take it piece by piece. I think a lot of people on main street usa, we used to talk about that a lot during the financial crisis, right . Maybe not feeling 14,300, that sort of feeling, a record dow day, im worried about my job, economic growth, is that just typical, is that what we should expect. I wouldnt say its typical. Id say the last time we reached 14,000 in 2007 there was a little more broad abgment that the economy seems good, my house was up in value even though that was past the peak of the housing boom. We really didnt see this major threat to the economy which is so fresh in our mind route now because it just happened a new years ago. Big business has moved on. Money is very cheap. You cant overlook the fact that Interest Rates are at boxbottom levels making sure money is available to the system. Jenna to the system not necessarily to the consumer all the time. Its getting into the system, into coffers not necessarily seeing that its getting to all household. If you look at the volume of autoloans and mortgages its better than you would think it would be. Jenna one analyst said its a hop, we are hospitalizing now, we could she a correction of 5 to 10 over the next couple months which is enough to make you nervous if you see it, then well see a pop at the end of the year. What do you think about that mod schnell. I think its plausible. For one thing we have gone pretty far in a short period of time. Since mid november the market is up 15 or so. Its not backed up very much. A lot of folks looking for signs that that will happen. I do think its plausible that we do at some point have to retrench a little bit. The big question here is does the market get a big public embrace which it has not had. Jenna what do you mean by that . Meaning, does the average person who has money in savings decide to put more into stocks or not . I dont think its magic if that happens but it hasnt really happened in the last telephone years. Jenna do you think the market is telling is, limitations of course of what the market can tell us. Sure. Jenna do you think the market in america is saying, bring on more cuts, we can handle it, dc . I hpbess here dont think that is the message. If the cuts come incrementally or over a long period of time if Congress Agrees with the president , over ten years absolutely we can accommodate that. I dont think they are celebrating the sequestration cuts. It shaoepls to be not very material to the things that matter right today for stock investors. Jenna great to see you. Look forward to seeing your work on yahoo of course. Jon money is cheap, we like to hear that, dont we . Millions of americans are bracing nor a winter blast, snow, and strong winds could cause major problems for a huge mart of the country, as you can see the snow is already falling. Well have a live report from the extreme Weather Center. And the jodi arias journal in the spotlight at her murder trial. Attorneys want to know why she wrote about her deepest, darkest secrets but never mentioned the abuse she claims she suffered at the hand of her then boyfriend, the man she is accused of murdering. I loved Travis Victor alexander so completely that i dont know any other way to be. I seurb i did was at times my heart is sad and sickened over the past. He makes me sick, he makes me happy, he makes me sad, and miserable. Jenna well now a fox news weather alert a major winter storm closing in on millions of americans. Snow is falling in parts of the midwest. Heavy snow and strong wind and flooding all possible as the system sweeps through a huge part of the United States. Meteorologist maria molina has the details from the very extreme Weather Center. Maria. Hi, jenna. Seems like every week we have some extreme storm to track and this week its a major snowstorm, possibly the biggest so far this season in the city of chicago and also in the city of washington, d. C. As we head into tomorrow. Today, chicago youre dealing with some of the heaviest snowfall and i want to start out with the current temperatures. Not only do temperatures indicate whether you get rain or snow. But 32 grease in determines that the snow you get will be heavy snow and could bring down tree branches and power lines. Six to 12 inches in chicago and it will be the heavy wet snow. In wisconsin, northern sections of noil and eastern portions of missouri. The storm will continue to track eastbound a number of winter storm warnings are in effect. Not how much snow you will get. Anywhere with the pink shading you have the possibility of four to eight inches of snow. Locally up to a foot possible. Besides the snow accumulation the wind is big concern gifting up to 20 or 30 miles an hour at times that will produce dangerous conditions on the roadways. Whiteout conditions at times and flight delays and cancellations. Not a pleasure to do any traveling across the city of chicago. As we head eastbound we have a winter storm watch in effect across d. C. Baltimore area, south of fill definitely because we could be seeing over five inches of snow. The official forecast in washington, d. C. Is somewhere about five to 8 00 inches of snow. But it will be very tricky as we head into the next 24 hours. It will depend on your temperatures, depending how cold the temperatures get that will determine how much snow you will get. Higher elevations of west virgina, were talking over a foot of snow possible. As we head into noon wednesday you will start to see the snow spreading across pennsylvania and maryland, virginia, west virgina, and new york city, you could see a little coating of snow but it will be a very mixed precipitation type. You will have rain mixing in. The wind, jenna, will be another big concern, gusting to 50, 60 miles an hour at times along the coast. That is a coastal flooding concern. Jenna a lot of major airports along that corridor as well. Big population hubs. Maria, thank you. Thanks, jenna, today the Senate Intelligence committee is meeting behind closed doors. Fox news is learning the committee could vote on the president s nominee to be cia director, john brennan. Catherine herridge has some details for us from washington. What are you learning about that meeting catherine . Reporter thank you, jon. Within the last half hour the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne feinstein confirming that the Administration Responded to the pressure, making 11 government memos on drones available to the senators. In reason, quote i reached an treatment to provide the Committee Access to all olc opinions related to targeted killings of americans in a way that allows members to fulfill their oversight responsibilities. Earlier the aclu which has been pushing for the public release of all the drone memos said the administrations lack of transparency was undercutting the senate tell again committees basic oversight responsibility. It has to be embarrassing feinstein, Ranking Member chambliss to have a committee that has been unable to get the most basic legal opinions on this vast killing program. What is the point of having Oversight Committee over the cia over the intelligence agencies, if they cant even get the president to give them the documents . Reporter the timing here is important because this confirm makes that all of the memos have now been produced comes just hours before the Senate Intelligence committee is scheduled to vote on john brennan. This may be an indicate the white house felt unless they provide members most memos the brennan may not get out of the committee, jon. Jon if brennan clears hurdles what happens next . Reporter if brennan gets out of the committee three republicans throatened to block or stall the vote. Rand paul wants the administration to whether they believe they have Legal Authority to use drones against citizens in the United States . Brennan says they have no intention of using drones on u. S. Soil and that is not enough for senator rand paul. Republican senators mccain and graham are indicating they will not vote for brennan until their questions on the benghazi terrorist attack are answered including review of fbi transcripts of interviews with survivors who told the fbi just two days after the attack there was no demonstration when four americans were killed. They also want brennan to clarify his apparent flipflop whether he believes the cia Interrogation Program that used waterboarding did provide useful information. They may be past the drone hurdle but there are two at least two left, one on torture and the other on benghazi, jon. Jon lots of questions to be asked and answered. Catherine herridge in washington thank you. Reporter youre welcome. I just wish i could die. I wish that suicide was a way out but it is no escape. I wouldnt feel anymore pain not only if i could just stop existing and have my consciousness dissolve into nothingness and my energy recycled into Something Else useful for i am of little use to the world right now through no fault of my own. Jenna that was jodi arias reading from her private journal on the stand telling jurors why she was able to write darken tris like that but nothing about the abuse she claims she suffered at hands of Travis Alexander the boyfriend she is accused brutally murdering with premeditation. Arias said she didnt want to write about the abuse because she didnt want to think about her boyfriend way, that was the reason and he previously made her rip up other negative entries. Prosecutors say she didnt write about the abuse because there wasnt any abuse. They called her a jilted lover who killed the man because she couldnt completely have him. Lis wiehl, former federal prosecutor and doug burns, former federal prosecutor criminal defense attorney. Just does the journal help her or hurt her . It hurts her. This brutal assault, bent finger not have that in there, have in the journal i was stickened when i looked at him kissing another woman. For me, jenna, that means motive. She was sickened by that. Made her sick to see that. She wanted that man and what she would do for him. Jenna doug, do you think that is the tippingpoint, the sees the premeditation . Pretty hard sell i didnt want to put it in there because i didnt want to see him in a negative light. However saying that lis would agree, general proposition slowing down the pace of the trial helps the defense, meaning in simple english. She stabbed him 27 times, shot him. If the were a week, hypothetically, oh, my god, wouldnt be much to talk about. Here they slowed it down. They had to. Prosecutor had to come back and defense proud up diary. There were be Unanswered Questions about the jurors. Why didnt they bring this up . Why didnt they go back to that. They have to go. Now they need to end it and end it quickly. Jenna she did give an explanation why she didnt talk about travis in her journal. We have that sound. Lets go ahead and play that. My question to you, and we talked about this as it relates to a few incidents but as it relates to all these incidents, why wouldnt you put something of that nature in your journals . What are the reasons . Well, one, i didnt want to solidify it, i mean, this sounds like denial but i didnt want to solidify more in reality by putting it on paper and making it more concrete. Another reason is that, and that goes to law of attraction. That goes to that, if travis were to read it, in the past he made me tear out some negative things i had written about him. So, i didnt want to put more things on paper that were negative about him. I just wanted to focus on his good qualities, not, his shortcomings. Jenna they spent a lot of time on this law of attraction bit, which to put in plain english, maybe, i dont know if it was a good explanation, she didnt want to write negative things down, put out in the universe other negative things would come toward her. But she wrote about suicide. Makes no sense. Why would she write about suicide and write about im sickened about him i hurt me, did this to me, banged up my finger and put nothing in the journal. Jenna she is sitting there talking directly to the jury, judge. This is my explanation, may not be right but this is where i did it. This could become a serious problem for prosecutors. Analogy to casey anthony. More months and months, she killed her child. Case closed. It was a Freight Train hit them in the face. Jenna true. Here what happened his, the worst way to defend a case i had nothing to do with it. When the proof shows you did it, youre a liar, you did it youre done. The best way to defend it i did the acts but i have legal defense. It can get a bit slippery the problem, lis, jury theoretically could say you charged her with the wrong crime that could be a problem. That could be a lesser included offense. Exactly. That is the next step here. But lesser included means if you dont find her guilty of premeditated murder are there lesser included offenses on there . Can the jury find Something Else. That will be a big key for the prosecution now. Do they include the lesser includeds . Go ahead. If they dont, if they do, 2 gives the jury an out. If one juror says im not sure it is premeditated. Is there lesser included . Oh, yes. Jenna she could be convicted of admitting killing travis. Quick explanation. Theyre not charged her. Theyre allowed to charge firstdegree murder and lesser underneath. They havent. However, either side can still request the judge to instruct the jury even if you find that the element of premeditation is missing you can still find her guilty of manslaughter. In the boston nanny case, jumping back to that the prosecutors went for fences. Judge we dont want the instruction and the woman was found not guilty. That is problem. Will be interesting to see what the prosecutors view is. Question for the prosecutors right now do. Jenna will we hear that at very end of the closing argument. Before the charging conference. Before actually charging and jury instruction. You expect closing arguments to happen this week . I would think so. Prosecution will wrap it up. Defense as rebut theal questions and possibly. Unless there is another witness to call. Jenna great to have you as always. Appreciate it. Jon . Jon a followup to a story we brought you yesterday. A staffer at an adult living facility who refused to perform cpr on an elderly woman who had collapsed, stopped breathing and later died. The chilling 911 tapes revealing the desperate pleas of the 911 operator trying to find someone to save the womans life. Listen. Yeah, we cant do cpr. Hand the phone to the passerby. Anybody there can do cpr. Give them the phone please. I understand if you, if your facility is not willing to do that. Give the phone to a passerby, that stranger. This woman is not breathing enough. She will die if we dont get this started. I dont know where he is. He is yelling at me, saying we have to have one of our other residents perform cpr. And so instruct and im not going to do that. And let this lady die . Thats why were calling nine one one. We cant wait as human being. Is there anybody there that is willing to help this lady and not let her die . Not at this time. Jon paramedics were not able to save 87yearold lorraine bayless.

Jon a very public family feud erupts around olympic star turned murder suspect Oscar Pistorius. After his father made controversial comments about race and police in south africa. Rick folbaum is following the story from our new york newsroom. Rick . Reporter jon, this is not what Oscar Pistorius needs right now, fresh controversy ahead of his murder trial. The athlete as you know charged with premeditated murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend on valentines day morning. He claims to have mistaken Reeva Steenkamp for a home intruder, shooting her through the bathroom door only realizing later he killed his 29yearold girlfriend. The prosecutors say the couple argued the night before. That the murder was intentional. Pistorius is out on bail awaiting trial. He is comments made by his father to a british newspaper. He seemed to suggest south africas ruling party, African National congress, anc, cares more about protecting blacks than white south africans. Explaining why he and his others in his family, oscar own so many guns, pistoriuss father telling the newspaper, quote, some of the guns are for hunting and some are for protection. It speaks to the anc government. Look at white crime levels. Why protection is so poor in this country, its an aspect of our society. South africas history when it comes to racial inequality is wellknown of course. Still a very sensitive subject. So the family trying to quickly distance themselves from the comments, not wanting them to impact the upcoming trial that could see Oscar Pistorius sentenced to life in prison the athletes pr team issuing a statement this morning saying the family is deeply concerned about the fathers comments and they do not represent the views of as car oscar or the rest of the pistorius family. The trial date in this case, jon, still has not been set. Back to you. Jon rick folbaum in the newsroom. Rick, thanks.

Jenna well, right now a second sinkhole appearing in florida neighborhood just miles away from the one that opened up beneath a home just days ago and swallowed a man killing him. This new sinkhole youre seeing on the screen not as big as the one that was in, in the other home but at this point police say, they dont appear to be related or connected to each other. Just sort of strange they happened within a week of each other. Joining us, jonathan arthur, Florida State geologist and director of the Florida Geological survey. Jonathan, nothing is related about the two of them . Well, hi, jenna. Well, in terms of the gee logic process that causes sinkholes there is relationship. There is no evidence at present some humaninduced feature caused the two sinkholes to the occur at the same or similar times. Jenna how does this just happen . Were looking at a sinkhole where the man was in his bedroom. Then all of sudden disappeared into the ground . How does that happen in such an exact spot and doesnt necessarily affect anyone else in the house . Well, it certainly is a geological anomaly. It is extremely wear for loss of life to occur. It is extremely rare for a sinkhole to confine itself to underneath the foundation of a home. The actual process is that there is, some kind of calf cavity in the subsurface, in the limestone in floridas case. Limestone can dissolve through time and the overburdened. Set myments and sands and clays can collapse into the deeper cavity and it happened to simply confine itself to underneath the foundation of the home and which gave way. Jenna one the the more bizarre parts of this story and as you mentioned this anomaly, pardon me, eads easy for me to say, there is no way they can retrieve the body of this man. That is is an impossibilitity. Why . Would probably want to leave that to engineers and folks who are better at excavating but it would be very, very difficult. There is, you know a wide depth range in which the body may, you know, exist right now. And, a lot of material to get through to, you know, get to the body. Jenna just real quick, jonathan, im from earthquake country out in san francisco. When there is an earthquake, often times there is aftershocks. Maybe people think of sinkholes in different way. If there is one there are others to follow. Does that happen in florida where one will go and then, you could see several others . Or is it just completely random where sinkholes appear . Well, the answer to your question is both. The it can be completely random and there also can be similarities where you have a cluster of sinkholes over a short period of time occur, and that may be random or it may be due to, you know, some kind of a change in water levels, for example, when Tropical Storm debbie moved through florida, in the wake of that, hundreds of sinkholes formed across the state. Jenna interesting. Jonathan, thank you so much for your perspective. It is great to have you with us. Woe dont know a lot about sinkholes. Certainly the stories brought a lot of attention to them. Thank you for the time today, and your expertise. My pleasure, jenna, have you heard about this . North korea issues an alarming new threat. This as the u. S.

A brand new hour coming your way including stories about american survivors to the or terrorist attack in benghazi, there may be as many as seven of them getting treatment at walter reed. Well talk to a lawmaker who wants access to them to see if he can learn what really happened. Also were going to learn more about the Group Organizing for action. Are supporters of the president using access to the white house as a way of raising money . And well get the very latest on this giant storm thats slamming minnesota and other parts of the midwest. Heavy snow and dangerous winds. Well tell you whats happening right now and where storm is heading next. All of that and breaking news as the second hour of happening now starts right now. Jon government watchdogs charging the white house is for sale. Welcome to the second hour of happening now, im jon scott. Jenna what kind of mortgage do you think you get on the white house . Jon would have thought we would have paid for it a long time ago. Laugh of laugh. Jenna hi, everybody, im jenna lee. Critics are selling the administration is setting up meetings for doe more thes, thats donors. The white house is pushing back hard. Theyre saying the critics are completely wrong about this i new lobbying group and everything that the group is doing the perfectly legal. Carl camerons live in washington with more. Reporter hi, jenna. Theres no denying it, president obama and his former Campaign Operation are really under fire for offering donors who contribute half a Million Dollars or more to get a seat on an Advisory Panel for ofa that would get quarterly meetings with white house officials and even perhaps the president. The Washington Post yesterday blasted the president saying, quote he ought to come to hiscepses. If he doesnt, it wont be easy to careen this muck off clean this muck off his shoes later on. How the obama people are going about it stinks. Organizing for action should be renamed paying for access. Now, a sunday New York Times editorial urged the administration and the president to rein in access. It wrote, quote r eporter and common cause, one of the leading government watchdog groups on the left, particularly on the issue of Campaign Finance reform, has been badgering the white house longest. Its now leading l Campaign Finance reform on the left, and for them to be ticked off at the president just speaks volumes. Jenna its really interesting to see that, carl. What does the white house have to say about all this criticism . Reporter well, theyve been taking a lot of heat for several days, and the Administration Admits access is available to big donors, but they deny ofa is peddling that access with a quid pro quo because the half Million Dollar amount, they say, is apparently negotiable. This is jay carney from yesterday. The white house set it is president s disedge, and there is no schedule, and there is no price to meet with the president. You know, organizations have fundraising, they raise money, and in this one has commit toddies closing. Committed to disclosing. Reporter few seem to be buying the explanation that ofa will be accepting donations for meetings scheduled by the white house. A lot of folks still think its selling access, and what irks the heft the most is the left the most is this is what the president said he would fight, not lead. Jenna . Jenna well have more on this in just a moment, carl. Thank you. Jon for more lets talk with jonah goldberg, editor at large for National Review online and a fox news contributor. Jonah, the white house is protesting that this isnt all about buying access to the president. I want you to listen to what jay carney also said yesterday in response to a question from fox news ed henry. Take a listen. Any notion that there is a set price for a meeting with the president of the United States is just wrong. As you know, organizing for action was set up to promote the president s Public Policy agenda. Therefore, as anyone would expect, the president would likely meet with their representatives to discuss his agenda. But, again, any notion that theres a price for meeting with the president is simply wrong. Jon a price for meeting with the president is simply wrong. Thats not exactly a denial, is it . No. It kind of remind me of that maybe apocryphal story about Winston Churchill arguing with the woman, and he offers her 10 to sleep with him, and she says, no, what do you think i am . Got it backwards. First he offers her a Million Dollars, and she says, of course, and then he offers her ten, and she says, no, what do you think i am, and he says, well, weve established what you are, were just negotiating the price. Its just that its up for negotiation. Where i do think carney and the white house have a fair point is that i dont think this is all about selling access. I think this is a way to Fund President obamas theory about a Community Organizer approach to the presidency where hes going to build up a parallel structure outside of the Democratic Party to implement his own agenda, and the only way you can do that is if on the side you sell a little access to the white house to raise money to do it. So i dont think its all about selling access, i just think selling access is an integral part to it. Jon and just so viewers understand, this is what used to be the obama for america campaign. I mean, this was his president ial campaign which has now been flipped or morphed or something into this organizing for america organization. Now its got a whole different mission, and its not subjected to any finance limits. I mean, contribution limits. Right. No, i mean, this is theres a stink to this that is sort of almost ea gene to it. The analogy would be if karl rove after winning reelection with george w. Bush in 2005 went off, formed his own forprofit consultant i si, which is what jim messina, obamas Campaign Manager is doing, and worked at the same time for this newlyrevamped Bush Campaign organization that had become, basically, a lobbying Campaign Solely for the president s agenda. It is, the appearance of impropriety, a conflict of interest, of access selling, you couldnt have a tom wolfe novel couldnt invent a sort of more perfect hat trick of conflict of interest and unseemliness, and i congratulate the New York Times and Washington Post and common cause for getting upset about it, but you really dont hear anything from rank and file democrats or from democrats on capitol hill. Jon right. They dont really seem to care. Jon well, as Chris Stirewalt points out in his column today on foxnews. Com, it is also all perfectly legal just as it would have been for obamas predecessor. Its not that hes exploiting some new legal loophole that allows him to have a permanent campaign, still its just that his predecessors were either not so creative or so brazen as to try it. So so much for, you know, getting big money out of politics as the president promised when he was campaigning the first time. I mean, the hypocrisy part of this, you can almost see it from space, its so huge. And i think thats, you know, and its a perfectly legitimate thing to say, its all perfectly legal, but we used to have the idea that the presidency set a standard slightly above the merely legal and that there were certain things that were seen to be unseemly or inappropriate. That was certainly what obama gave the impression that he believed when he ran for the first time and even a little bit for the first time. He clearly doesnt believe that anymore because with obama the rule is always if hes doing it, its okay whether its playing games with Campaign Finance or our using drones on our enemies. Jon hard to imagine lincoln or wilson or even fdr doing Something Like this. [laughter] jonah goldberg, thank you. Good to be here, thank you. Jenna we have a fox news weather alert out of chicago now where the snow is starting to pile up from a massive storms that forecasters predict will not only be the largest so far this winter, but likely chicagos worst storm since 2011. The heavy, wet snow is falling so fast it will be difficult and dangerous to shovel, and all this snow is coming with heavy winds that could cut visibility creating really a nightmare on the roads. Airlines, in fact, have already canceled hundreds of flights in and out of chicago creating what is a ripple effect, really, across the country. Thats just today. Mike tobin is live in chicago with an up close and personal report for us on this snow. Mike . Reporter and, jenna, its been coming down about two, two and a half hours, but you kind of touched on why the snow here in chicago affects everybody from l. A. To new york. And that is because if youre flying. Lets show you video of the big board at Ohare International airport. 860 flights already canceled out of heir, 230 out of of midway. So if youre traveling anywhere today, youre probably going to be impacted by this weather. In the midwest, south dakota, the drifts are piling up as high as 3 feet. In minnesota, iowa, parts of wisconsin, the striving is stretch driving is treacherous as the snow is piling up faster than the snowplows can get to it. Here in chicago theyre expecting 610 inches of snow. Farmers out here love it after they endured the trout last year. Twhaint to get some moisture on the ground. Drivers dont love it. State of illinois has almost 400 snowplows at the ready. Theyre expected to keep up with it. Right now the roads arent that bad, but later in the afternoon when it really comes down, theyre not going to be able to keep up with the pace of the snow, and the problem with that is youve got a lot of people who commuted to work, theyre going to be stuck when they try to get home. You mentioned this is a wet and heavy snow. I can show you an example of how its sticking and packs up. This is the stuff that they call heart attack snow because you get people, particularly older people who havent done anything physical all year long, and they come out and try to shovel their driveway or walk. Its a little too physical. This stuff is real heavy, its real hard to get off the ground. What doctors recommend is hire the neighborhood kids to clean off your driveway or walk. Jenna . Jenna a good tip for us today, mike. Thank you. Reporter you got it. Jon an unprecedented threat just out from north korea. That countrys leader, kim jong un, says he may tear up the 60yearold cease fire ending the war with south korea. Now, there are tens of thousands of u. S. Troops along the border between the two countries, so what do these latest threats mean for the United States . Also, police making an arrest in the devastating acid attack against the director of russias boll show pal lay. What police are saying about a possible suspect in the crime that shocked the world with. [ loud party sounds ] hi, im ensure clear. Clear, huh . Im not juice or fancy water. Ive gotine grams of protein. Thats three times more than me [ female announcer ] ensure clear. Nine grams protein. Zero fat. In blueberry pomegranate and peach. Jenna fox news alert, big story today. Nuclear north korea threatening to launch an attack on south korea, vowing to break the 60yearold ceasefire to ended the korean war. North korea warning it will use surgical strikes to unify the two countries unless the United States and south korea cancel joint military drills. North korea even set a deadline for this saying next week is when they would start this attack if we dont stop the drills. An end to the ceasefire could endanger some 30,000 american troops that are stationed along the border in south korea heading towards north korea. Secretary of state john kerry today calling on north korea to engage in peaceful negotiations as the u. N. Prepares the to punish north korea for its recent Nuclear Tests with some of the toughest sanctions that the country has or seen. General jack keane is a former vice chief of staff of the army. I feel like i begin every north korean interview with you with the same question, what is north korea up to here . What are they doing . Well, weve been conducting exercises with the South Koreans for years, so its not so much the exercise, its the fact that hes faced since february 12th when he detonated his Third Nuclear weapon jenna youre talking about kim jong un, the new leaderrer. Yeah. Hes faced condemnation, and the United States is leading an effort in the u. N. National Security Council to increase the economic sanctions. China and russia appear to go along with it. Theyre going to actually view the text today, jenna, to see if they can live with it. Thats whats really bothering him, because he knows hes going to lose in this. Of. Jenna well, he said he was going to launch a rocket, test a Nuclear Weapon, and he did that. Do you think this is a credible threat that if the drills continue, hes going to do something . What that is, we may not know. If he he takes military action against the south, disavows the armistice, then south korea, United States and north korea, in fact, are at war. If we go to war, that regime would be deposed, korea would be unified. Thats not going to happen. He knows that. The one thing he doesnt want to do is do anything thats going to come close to eliminating his regime. The reason why he has a Nuclear Weapon is to preserve his regime. Jenna what about just wanting to test, see how far he can push us . Oh, he does that, theres no doubt about that. The administration deserves no credit here because normally when he pushes like this, we want to have diplomatic talks with him, and as a result we normally get concessions. Were not doing that. Jenna i seem to recall over the last 24 hours Dennis Rodman saying the president should just call kim jong un, because thats what he wants. Weve heard the president say in the past that he would like to have dialogue with a country like iran. Why would we not want to have direct dialogue with a country like north korea . Why isnt that an option . Well, i mean, the buffoonery of the rodman thing jenna probably a whole separate issue. It masquerades whats truly happening. 200,000plus people are in torture cells inside north korea, and routinely they are terrorized and intimidated by this rogue regime, by this very young, adolescentlooking leader who has a system and a process for doing all of that. Jenna so youre saying and i dont think we sit down and have those kinds of discussions jenna because of those human rights violations. Thats the red line for having those discussions. Weve never actually declared war on north korea. We dont have an official peace treaty, that never was part of whats happened over the last 60 years. Has that somehow set us up for these sort of strange happenings where we get the threat, were going to break the armistice, and well be at war, we never were at war, but we lost american live there is . Is that somehow confusing the issue . I dont think the language of armistice versus peace treaty is that confusing. The reality is the armistice ended the conflict, both sides walked away. And theres nothing that binds us because of a peace treaty. But reality is we havent had war since. And i dont think were going to have it now either. Jenna general keane, great to have you on on set as always. Thank you so much. Jon air travelers are facing greater safety risks in the sky. What you need to know about an alarming rise in the number of errors reported by air Traffic Controllers. Plus, new information about survivors of the terrorist attacks in men because si. Virginia congressman frank wolf joins us live. [ male announcer ] its a rule of nature. You dont decide when vegetables reach the peak of perfection. The vegetables do. At green giant, we pk vegetables only when theyre perfect. Then freeze them fast so theyre are as nutritious as fresh. [ green giant ] ho ho ho. Green giant jon just in, the Homeland Security chief, janet napolitano, today is warning of longer lines at the nations airports especially in customs. As sequestration goes into effect over the next weeks and months, average wait times to clear customs can increase by a significant percentage, up to 50 , and at our busiest airports like newark and jfk, lax and ohare, peak wait times which even now is too long, peak wait times at some of these airports can approach two hours, could actually grow to almost four hours. Were trying to mitigate that as much as we can. Jon this as were also getting reports of trouble in the skies. The Washington Post reports a new government audit finds an alarming jump in the number of air traffic errors, and at the facility that supervises air traffic in the washington, d. C. Area airports, a whopping 95 increase in controller errors. Word of this comes as the sequester budget cuts mean fewerrer air Traffic Controllers on the job. Lets talk about it with the former managing director of the National Transportation safety board. Peter, some say that this 95 increase in the number of of errors reported by air Traffic Controllers is simply because the agency has taken up a new method of reporting. Its asking for controllers to report their own errors rather than punishing them be they make a mistake. What do you think . Well, the ig heard that explanation, and he tested it x he found that it wasnt completely true. He went back and looked at the alarming increase that started in 2009 and found that, indeed, there were a lot more lack of separation events. And many of them pretty serious. Jon so whats the explanation for that increase then if its not just because of increased reporting . Well, theyre looking at it. Part of it is, for instance, he identified that there are different approach patterns that were put in place at a number of the major airports that the controllers and the pilots were not completely familiar with. In other cases there were challenges with the new reporting systems. But lets, lets be clear any given time weve got 7,000plus aircraft in the air, weve got more aircraft flying. There are challenges, and we havent met them yet. Jon yeah. Im, obviously, a big proponent of flying and air travel. It is the safest way to go, but what do you say to passengers . I mean, does this sudden increase in reported errors mean that flying has suddenly gotten more dangerous . I dont think its gotten more dangerous, but it certainly is a wakeup call to the air Traffic Control system that we need to Pay Attention to this. You know, the next generation of air Traffic Control is still years away. Were going to be flying under the Current System for the next five years at least, and people need to Pay Attention. And, you know, hopefully the faa is going to be able to manage sequestration without cutting back on the key elements that keep our system safe. Jon yeah. Speaking of that we heard the Homeland Security secretary, janet napolitano, saying lines are goias a result of sequestration, particularly when it comes to customs flights. Any of that affect the safety side of this . Im not sure if that does, but heres where im concerned. You have got cutbacks in tower staffing, and in some cases at fairly large airports youve got proposals that would close the towers during evening hours, during the nightment thats when the cargo planes are flying in and out of many of these airports, and you really dont want to have cutbacks in controllers when youve got heavy traffic from even cargo carriers. Jon yeah. Peter goelz so id look twice at it. Of. Jon peter goelz, thank you. Thank you, jon. Jenna well, some breaking news on the benghazi terror attacks. James rosens interview with secretary of state john kerry who on the record for the first time says he visited a survivor at walter reed hospital. Were going to be speaking to a congressman whos now demanding more information about just how many people survived the benghazi attacks and why we havent heard from them or about them. Million now. Until now. Plus, shes accused of killing her boyfriend in a fit of jealous rage. What were now finding out about jodi arias journal,. And were tracking that massive winter storm. Millions of americans impacted by this. Janice dean with your forecast next. [ male announcer ] this is betsy. Her long day of pick ups and drop offs begins with arthritis pain. And a choice. Take up to 6 tylenol in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. All aboard. Jenna right now jodi arias is set to return to the stand in a grip eupg murder trial weve been following as Defense Attorneys try to portray her as the victim and have her read from her diary in which she complained a little bit her boyfriend, Travis Alexander. Take a listen. Were you aware of mr. Mr. Alexander engaging in other sexual behavior at the same time with other individuals, at the same time that he was engaging in sexual behavior with you . At what time period . Any time period . Yes. Jenna she wrote in her dry rethat she saw him kissing somebody. Something to that affect. Alicia acuna is live from denver with more on all of this. Reporter jodi arias also testified that she left specific things out of that journal, like alleged violent incidents she says happened between her and Travis Alexander. She also says that he forced her to tear certain pages out that made him look bad. All this is part of a pattern of abuse her defense team is attempting to show that ultimately led to arias killing him if which she calls an act of selfdefense, and what the prosecution says was premeditated murder based on jealousy. She reads here from an entry about wanting to take her own life. Drawing your attention to the second entry on august 26th, 2007, could you read that for us . I just wish i could die. I wish that suicide was the way out but it is no escape. I wouldnt feel any more pain though if i could just stop he can ising and have my consciousness dissolve into nothingness and my energy recycled into Something Else useful, for i am of little use to the world right now through no fault but my own. Reporter today she continues the redirect from her defense team after spending last week attempting to explain lies that she acknowledges telling over the course of the trial, and since the death of Travis Alexander, jenna. Jenna alicia acuna, thank you. Jon we have an update now to a fox news weather alert. A dangerous snowstorm causing travel nightmares across the midwest. Some areas of seeing wet, heavy snow. Mike tobin showed you some of that from chicago a little while ago. Others are dealing with sleet, rain and fierce winds. Air canceling many flights. They are urging drivers to grab emergency kits before they hit the road. Janice dean live in the fox news extreme Weather Center to tell us where this is heading. Reporter we are still tracking the storm and the possibility for this to move up the coast, so philadelphia, new york, boston, you need to be paying close attention, because well be watching the storm well into friday. Where is it now . Minneapolis youre still getting the snow, chicago, hundreds of Flights Canceled here. Very poor visibility. Temperatures around the freezing mark and heavy snow in this area. South of the ohio river valley the condition river valley east of that is mainly a chilly rain event. Heading into this evening and overnight tonight well see see the snow moving into indianapolis. There is baltimore, there is norfolk where they think it will be mainly a rain event. Well have the fine line between rain and freezing rain, sleet and snow for the baltimore dc area. We still believe that best of dc is where well hit the jackpot in terms of the snowfall accumulation. Here is one of the computer model estimates. Chicago 6 to 12 possibly for you. Indianapolis and north and west of the city we could get a pocket of close to 18 inches. There is that bullseye for the blue ridge mountains, the mountains of West Virginia and virginia. There is d. C. , six to 12 easily. We could get higher snow totals, if the rain snow line remains south and east of the area. Look at new york up to boston. This computer model actually thinks that the storm is going to ride up the coast and perhaps whoever. And when tha hover. We will see sustained winds. 24 at jfk. As we go in the afternoon, sustained winds of 27 Miles Per Hour not out of question to see wind gusts in excess much 40, 50, 60 miles her hour and its going to remain with us heading into thursday and friday. Look at new england, these are again sustained winds. Even if the storm is offshore well be dealing with incredible winds, well be dealing with coastal flooding unfortunately and storm surge. This is a big storm system that is going to cause a lot of problems. Winter weather advisories in the pink where we have Winter Weather warnings and the watches are posted still nor minneapolis down through chicago and over the mountainous raoegs of virginia, West Virginia, into d. C. And philadelphia. Heading into tkapbt we could see the watches posed al pose posted all up and down the northeast coast. Further in time into wednesday that storm moving offshore bringing the cold air southward and the snow piling up for d. C. And then as we head into wednesday, thursday the storm remains offshore but we could get some of that cold air pulled southward and the snow piling up across new york and boston, jon. Stphaoeut soun jon. Jon it sounds like we should stay home a couple of days. Reporter im with you. Can we phone it in . I have to work, ill just have the sleeping bag here. Jon i know, sour so dedicated. Janice dean in the fox news Weather Center. Reporter see you soon. Jenna this fox news alert breaking news on the investigation into the benghazi terror attack on u. S. Diplomats on september 11th of last year. Fox james rosen interviewed secretary of state john kerry and kerry told james he visited at least one survivor of the attack who is now being treated at walter reed hospital. Here is part of that interview. Too quick questions on benghazi, sir, if you would. First, why have we not heard from any of the benghazi survivors . Well, i mean i cant tell you the answer to that. I can tell you that i have visited with one of the survivors at bethesda hospital, who is a remark plea courageous person who is doing very, very well. And ive called his wife and talked to her. I dont know what the circumstances are of any request to talk to him or not. Let me just say this about benghazi, benghazi was a tragedy that i felt as a senator and i feel even more now as secretary, and im just they are rr wrapping me here. You have to be very quick, im so sorry. Let me just say the key here is that we are implementing the lessons we learned from benghazi and thats the key. Jenna republican congressman frank wolf of virginia has written a letter to the state department demanding answers on the survivors, he sent that letter on friday, hes joining us live now. Congressman many viewers have followed the story about the benghazi terror attack. Few have heard a lot about the others that were present there and injured in this attack. Why are we just hearing about this now, and why did you just now send that letter . Well, weve been hearing for the last several weeks that a number were injured, in fact as i was told by somebody who was connected, that there was seven people at walter reed, bethesda wounded two months after the benghazi attack. So weve been hearing these and now for somebody to be out at bethesda, or walter reed for six months now, so this coming monday it will be six months is shocking. These are patriots, these are heros, but the congress does not know, and the person people do not know, so there is anable tkpwaeugs, and an obligation. The answer is to have a Bipartisan Group to look into this. There are so many things coming out months that of. Jenna youve had three things that obviously we havent had on this incident. Are you telling us that the fbi never mentioned to you over the last several months that there were survivors with what we hear could be extensive injuries at walter reed that you were never told that . I was told through some fbi people that there had been some people wounded but it was from telephone calls that ive had from people who were indirectly connected saying that there were a number of people out at bethesda, and one that i had a week ago said two months after the benghazi attack there were seven people, several seriously injured at walter reed and yet we have never heard anything from the state department, weve never heard anything from the defense department, and weve never heard anything from the white house. So thats why i think we need a select commit fee, a Bipartisan Committee to look at all of this. There are so many things coming out, and it almost appears there is a cover up. Shouldnt we know who these people are and should we not thank them, thank them for their service to the country . Jenna have you stkd t have you asked to speak to the survivors. We did. We sent a letter out asking for an opportunity to speak with the survivors. We have not heard back yet. That letter went to secretary ker raoefplt ha kerry. He has been out of the country for the last new days. Jenna a select committee would stream like a few committees in congress so there would be one testimony about this incident. This has been requested or raised before when we did the first round, if you will, of hearings about benghazi, but congressman, so far Republican Leadership has said, have told us that they are really not behind this idea of a select committee. So whats your plan . We have three sew sponsors. As of today 48 members of the congress have cosponsored it. Now with this information that is coming out i think, one we have an obligation that the Congress Know to see if anything should be done with regard to legislation. But equally the American People should know whats gone on. If you have several people who have been out at bethesda for six months, six months, and we dont know who they are, they should be honored, that should be made available to the American People, and to the congress. I think there is a growing cry up here, my sense of leadership will agree that there needs to be a select committee to get to the bottom of this. Jenna what have you heard about the injuries . I was told that they were very, very serious. I also had another call that said that wounded in the attack were upward to close to 30 people. Now not all serious, but up to 30 people were impacted, some very seriously wounded, others not so much. These are people who must have fought off the attack at the annex, that are american heroes. We have lost four people, but the stories that we hear, thats why we have to have the congress in a bipartisan way to have subpoena power to get to the bottom of really what happened. And we have to recognize and thank the people that have been wounded. Jenna if they want to be thanked. A lot of them probably were only just hearing from our own reports that some of them do not necessarily want the publicity, but have some questions raised about why they havent been invited to hearings and why their story hasnt been invited into congress. And im not so sure that many congressmen even know that they were out there. Congressman, its nice to have you on the program. Thank you for joining us. Thank you very much.

A new report raising concerns about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, adhd and the longterm impact for children diagnosed witness. The study published in the journal of pediatrics finding the affects of the disorder could extend into adulthood.

Why do they suffer witness all of their lives and have additional problems such as anxiety and to depression. The answer to part of that is why not. If i were to talk to you about a reading disability you would probably say to me that this is something that somebody has throughout their lifetime, that they may develop skills to cope with this as they get older, so its less of a liability when they grow up.

In somebody has accompanying problems with anchor its and depression you may need to think about other types of interventions separate and distinct from the interventions you use for adhd. Jenna the studies also mentioned different therapies that you could do. How effective have you found nonprescription therapy for a child with adhd and how well they succeed later on in their life . The study supports some benefit but not dash tka r they actually mead to do more work in that area. Teaching kids skills around organization, or task completion or efficiency of work or scheduling is important because these are skills that children will Carry Forward with them. Medications dont impart any skills to anybody, they help to reduce the symptoms so that acquiring the skills becomes easier. Jenna i only have a short time, again gag back to that time period 1976 to 1982 are we doing anything now with children diagnosed with adhd that is dramatically different than what we would have done in the early 80s . How much has changed since then in. I dont think from that time period. I was practicing at the end of that time period.
