While theres no evidence yet the men were plotting an attack inside the u. S. , authorities are deeply concerned about their association with isis and the potential for future threats. Both suspects are iraqi refugees and political leaders in texas immediately raised concerns about the administrations efforts to bring in more refugees including thousands from syria. The men are among at least seven suspects here at home accused of ties to isis in less than a month including a maryland man who was allegedly given more than 8,000 from an overseas operative for a u. S. Based attack. The terror concern is so high the Senior Administration officials including the fbi director are expected to meet with tech leaders in Silicon Valley today to discuss encryption, the isis use of social media to recruit right here at home. Robin. Very important meeting today, top National Secure threat. The race for president right now and one of the biggest crowds yet for donald trump in a pretty surprising place, the liberal hometown of Bernie Sanders. Look at those lines in burlington, vermont, to see trumps latest attacks on the clintons and a lot more. Abcs jon karl there for all the action. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. Burlington is one of the most liberal cities in america. This is the place that first elected Bernie Sanders as its socialist mayor three decades ago but for a little while last night it almost looked like trump territory. Wow. What a Beautiful Group of people. Reporter rallying the faithful in vermont last night he tried out a new call. Whos going to pay for the wall. All mexico. Whos going to pay for the wall . All mexico. Ive never done that before. Reporter but in Bernie Sanders backyard get him out. Take him out. Interrupted by protesters who infiltrated the rally. Get them out of here. Dont give him his coat. Keep his coat. Reporter while protesters aimed their fire at trump he targeted the democratic frontrunner. I have my mind set on hillary. I do have my mind set. Reporter trump indeed has had his mind on hillary and her husband, former president bill clinton. Our human rights. Reporter new Trump Campaign ad shows clinton with disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner and bill cosby and bill clinton with monica lewinsky. On the campaign trail in iowa, bill clinton ignored the attack. If he wins the republican nomination well have plenty of time to talk about it if hillary wins. Reporter back in vermont the trump speck that wall in full force hundreds lining up for hours to see the gop frontrunner. It doesnt start for another four hours but theres already a line of people here as far as the eye can see. Many here were diehard supporters coming to see trump for the first time, others were ive never actually heard much of him other than youre fired. Reporter a new controversy brewing in maine where the states governor paul lepage, a Chris Christie supporter said this about drug traffickers in his state. These are guys by the name dmoney, smoothy, shifty then yshifty. Then added this. Half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave. Reporter governor lepages comments sparked a firestorm of criticism overnight. Hillary clinton saying, quote, lepages racist rants sadly distract from efforts to address one of our nations most pressing problems, but, george, no response yet from christie. Lets bring in matthew dowd right now. Matthew, you see donald trump up in bur ling tongue, vermont. Its actually a pretty shrewd move. I think its a really shrewd move. Bernie sanders and donald trump both are fishing from a similar pond which is independent voters who are working class whites. Thats very similar set of i think the fascinating thing the two antiestablishment outsider candidates the most are drawing the biggest crowds in this race. Its almost as if the visiting team which is the outsiders are drawing more fans than the home team which is the establishment in this nomination process. But i think fundamentally, george, what we have to figure out with the phenomenon of donald trump and Bernie Sanders is can they translate rallies into results . We first have the first votes in about three weeks. That attack on bill clinton linking him to bill cosby, Anthony Weiner, clinton not responding but could that blunt the democratss hope to make this war on women an issue in the general election . Well, i think it does two things. First i think it helps donald trump in the republican primary because the republicans dont like bill clinton or Hillary Clinton so i think it helps him there. But i think the second thing it does more than a scandal it reinforces that these are the candidates of the past. That Hillary Clinton is the candidate of the past and as you know, george, in any election people want to vote future and not the past and if they can do that to the clintons then theyre going to be a leg up in the general election next year. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. A lot more on this week including our guest marco rubio. Well be watching. The candidates keeping their eye on wall street after the worst start to t year ever. Linsey davis is at the New York Stock Exchange with the latest. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, robin. A tough one here on wall street yesterday dropping more than 400 points during the day and closing down more than 2 and the dow was actually down more than 5 since the beginning of the year, largely due to china. Global unrest and Falling Oil Prices are causing a Ripple Effect in u. S. Markets, but some good news from china this morning after a 7 drop yesterday that halted Chinese Markets after just 14 minutes of trading, Chinese Markets closed up today and perhaps thatll give some calm to jittery futures are up, robin. All right, linsey, thank you. Here now more on this is liz claman, anchor of countdown to the closing bell on fox. You wanted to address china. They did away with the socalled Circuit Breakers that actually helped. You know, its so fascinating to see that china is going through very sharp growing pains trying to be a communist nation but at the same time trying to be a capitalist nation with their measures and have socalled Circuit Breakers put into place and would trigger and shut down the markets if there was a precipitous fall. Twice this week the Circuit Breakers shut everything down to give a pause but guess what, it worked in the complete opposite direction. It incited panic and the markets started to fall so this is this is a bizarre behavior and too much heavyhanded interinvestigation on behalf of the chinese. A little bit of panic here, especially when it comes to american 401 k s. The average american 401 k has dropped 4500. Whats your advice. Month. Its been an ugly first opening as you just heard. Its the worst opening for the dow for the year that weve ever seen. So, what you want to do is just sit tight for the moment and not worry. Now, why should people think affects us . Its not like vegas, what stays in vegas, its now affecting us as a global market. Any companying that have a u. S. Standing but global footprint like the starbucks of the year, the young brands, they love Kentucky Fried Chicken in china, big chinese exposure and you may very well own those stocks, so these are still Good Companies going through a slight blip in a tough time. Fox Business Network has the next Republican Debate coming up on thursday. You think the focus will shift from terrorism to the economy. Absolutely believe it does. How could it not . People vote their wallets in the end. Great to see you, liz. Good to see you. You can see the fox Business Network, the next Republican Debate coming up on thursday. George. We turn to tonya couch, the mother of the affluenza teen back in texas this morning in court to face charges that she helped her son skip probation and hide out in mexico. Abcs matt gutman has been on the case from the start and joins us now with the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, george. Thats right, tonya couch will be arraigned this morning charged with helping her son flee to mexico, becoming americas most wanted mom. Now, texas authorities taking a special interest in her setting bond at a million dollars, the sheriff even escorting her to jail himself. First time hes done that in 15 years. This morning, tonya couch is in this texas jail flown from los angeles to texas aboard this boeing 787 dreamliner and escorted like a celebrity suspect on a special staircase off the plane and into a sheriffs van waiting right on the tarmac. The suburban mom with a red ringlets wearing a jacket over her handcuffs. Reserved. She was respectful. Reporter brought to the jail by the sheriff himself. Surprisingly she was very appreciative. Expected to be arraigned this morning on the charge of hindering the apprehension of her son, ethan couch known as the affluenza teen who needed guilty in 2013 to killing four people in a drunk driving crash. The pair took off from texas in early december in tonyas truck bound for mexico. Staying at this resort and partying at this strip joint where staffers tell abc news ethan racked up a 1,000 tab one night he couldnt pay. Authorities finally catching up with him on this street on december 28th. But this morning, ethan is still in mexico fighting deportation back to texas. Hes wanted for violating his probation. Now, tonyas lawyer insists her client violated no laws and tells me theres no way tonya bails. She calls it excessive and will fight to get it lowered. Now that shes divorced from ethans father, the affluenza matt gutman, thanks very much. Amy is back with the other top stories. An thatting on a Police Officer in philadelphia. The Police Commissioner is calling it one of the scariest things hes seen. A Police Officer ambushed at a busy intersection. Police say the man walked right up to officer jesse hartnicks patrol car hitting him three times. It is amazing the officer survived. He managed to shoot back and that suspect is now in custody. President obama is defending his executive actions on gun control during a town hall meeting in virginia. He denied any suggestion of a conspiracy against gun owners rights and said hes willing to meet with the nra. Ive said this repeatedly, im happy to meet with them and talk to them but the conversation has to be based on facts and truth and what were proposing, not some, you know, imaginary fiction in which obama guns. The president said he will not support any congressional candidate who opposes gun reform. One of americas most powerful air to ground weapons has ended up in cuba by mistake. The wall street journal reports an inactive hellfire missile was shipped to europe for training purposes then disappeared until showing up in cuba raising concerns that the cubans may have shared that technology with russia or north korea. And finally, when is the last time you went bowling . Why am i asking . For this guy its been a while. Take a look. He did not realize his own strength and he took down, whoo, the ceiling panels.

Get it . Well, all you u you really need to know changes resulted in your jackpot chances from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292 million.

It could cause problems especially if notice we didnt talk about an office pool here. T. J. Is back to tell us what we need to know if were part of one. What is that, t. J. . I love you guys, you, george, lara, robach, rob. Youve embraced me like family but let me introduce you to the family breakerupper. If we had to political 700 theres not a good chance you will win your office pool but you better be ready just in case. The Lottery Office pool seems like good, clean fun until you actually win. And the fighting begins. This group of california coworkers barely had time to celebrate their 315 million prize when they were sued by four coworkers who claimed they had oral agreements to be part of the office pool. Then this construction worker in new jersey, he was in charge of buying the lottery tickets for his work pool but without telling anyone claimed a 38 million jackpot as his alone. He was sued and lost. Confusion, lack of clarity, miscommunication and greed can come into play when hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. I went to the office of home polish where 15 of the interior designers are in the powerball pool. Or is it 16 . Are you in the pool. I thought i was in the pool. You dont know if the boss is in the pool. We dont know. We have it written down. Reporter had did the most unprepared pool. The group has just gone in together on 77 powerball tickets with no plan of what theyd do if they actually won. Well work it out. But its not all bad. This Real Estate Office in florida hit it big and even though the new girl had no money for a ticket, they still cut her in. The fact that we got to share in an experience most never have in a lifetime winning a powerball, we grew closer. Reporter now theyre all really good, really rich friends and ready to get even richer. I feel 100 confident that in this group of lottery tickets we will hit the 700 million. Reporter all right. Let me give you an example how quickly this could go sideways. There are six of us here. If i say im going to pool our tickets, everybody gives me cash but, robach who is a friend, i dont have any cash. Can you spot me. We win. What do we do with her now . Cut her out. Oh youll be in court saying, judge, she didnt give us the cash. Thats what happened. Then the lawyers you had an oral contract. You said you could spot her. You say you do but a deal is a deal. If we split the jackpot six ways its one thing, if we split it five ways we get 15 million more if shes out. We love you so much. Tips. Lottery lawyer said get a copy of the ticket to everyone in the group. Get all the players names on it, email it around. An easy way to do it. If you win sign the back of the ticket and keep a copy of it. Everybody has to sign it. Everybody needs to sign it but keep quiet. You want to tell everybody i love how were treating it like its real. It could work. A minute to win it. This has been my whole week, george. Dont kill it for me. This is your new beat.

Amy back, welcome back from iceland. We loved watching. We Love Learning so much about what is happening up there. But you had a lot of Different Things to talk about. You had to stay warm. Yep. You couldnt fall into that sinkhole. That was the most important thing, george. You had to learn how to pronounce the names of those glaciers. It was a little tough. An understatement. I had a lot of help from many so of our icelandic friends before i went ahead with those very i mean there are so many cons consonants consonants. I got help. Take a look. All right. Arnie, give me that pronouncer one more time. The glacier were going to. Yes. Breioamerkurjokull. Breioamerkurjokull. Breioamerkurjokull. Oh, my god, im never going to get it. Breioo. Amerkur. Jokull. Im not saying it perfectly right. Breioamerkurjokull. Easy. That was right before he climbed down that massive ice tunnel. He was such a good sport. You got it. You dit. Eventually break it into little words. I said it a million times. By the way, that drone footage. How incredible was that, per perspective perspective. We want to thank dgi. Their expertise flying the drones brought it home to everybody watching and also something i wanted to share with you on our way to these massive beautiful glaciers, we got a treat. Look at this. Icelandic horses, i called them look at those cute ponies and was quickly correctly saying they arent ponies. Theyre horses and so sweet and so friendly. And majestic, right. They just came right up to us. There are farms all throughout iceland with these horses and just such a sight to take in. They are gorgeous. Sunset. Its sunset for five hours straight. The skies are sweeping and beautiful. Thats whey remember, the sun was always it was always light out, right . Dark so right i knew it was something. Those images, incredible to illustrate global warming. You did a great job. Speaking of not being able to pronounce, mumble like ventura county. I got that one, ventura. Huge waves. Still have big surf that will be rolling in for the next few hours. Another storm coming in, not today, thankfully a bit of a break but tomorrow significant rain from San Francisco back to san diego.

The clouds are coming in, leading to some patchy drizzle by this evening as temperatures come up to around 40 degrees at the coast, but it will be cooler in the interior. Lets get it over to robin in the social square. Oh, im having a good time because im with my good friend, tyler perry. Pretty much owning cable tv with two hit shows on the Oprah Winfrey network. Love thigh neighbor and sneak peek at a new episode. David, sometimes we have to punish the people we love simply because we love them. Believe me, if i punish her, there will be no love involved whatsoever. I dont need to hear that. I need to hear you promise me that she will punished for this. I will not argue this with you. Im telling you, welcome, material perry, here. Thank you. Good to have you back here. You look great. Thank you. Fantastic. You looking good. Well talk about that. You dont have a dad bod. Come on. Im holding dad bod in right now. Congratulations, tyler. I know how hard you work on the programs and to see how well received they are. They resonate with so many. Ive got the best audience in the world. Mine is a lot like Country Music audience, so faithful. Theyve been right there and premiered last tuesday to over 3 Million Viewers on network thats only four years old, almost four years old. Its pretty incredible. But you also in new York Magazine there was backlash and you addressed that and said you were kind of surprised that some people take offense to some of the characters especially in your flips. Yeah. I was pretty taken aback for one is that i think everybody has a right to tell their story no matter who you are, no matter where you come from and theres this section of our culture that decides who should speak and who shouldnt speak and who should have the right to tell their story and who shouldnt and i think everybody in this country should have the right to tell their story and be seen and be represented in television fairly so thats what my point of view. Know. I write about the people ive seen growing up and these are real human beings. Most of them dont have ph. D. S i think thats what touches with people. When you watch your work its like you all everybody can see a little bit yes, exactly like that. It just hits home like that. Directing, all of that. I mean, how are you able to do all of that . I compartmentalize. When i sit down to write like 91 . 91. I have no writers room. I sit and do it all myself and compartmental lyze and direct for a few weeks and write for a few weeks so it works well throughout the year. Busy because, you know, you have a beautiful 1yearold son. I just saw the pictures. Oh, you should see his hair and all that. How has fatherhood changed you. In every way. Every cliche is true and this kid is my healer because i look at myself in his eyes and everything that im finding about growing up and the things that went wrong in my life i get an opportunity to do them right for him so hes my healer. Thats beautiful to say it like that. I know youve been posting pictures you said youre 18 pound as way. You said that before the holidays. Im 24 pounds away now. I couldnt hold out but ill get there. But i love how oprah is saying this should be the year of our best bodies. I didnt get that way why are you doing this but talking to her about it, i get it. The passion of just who she is and where shes come from and all that shes been through. She has something to say and i think that every person that joins her is going to really go on that journey and get there. Ill tell you right now shes doing awesome. Honest. Yeah and if i cant get these 23 pounds youll hear. Hey, what do i need to get on this Weight Watchers with you. Last thing i want to talk to you about, this project im excited about. Passion which is a live tv event that will be palm sunday in your hometown of new orleans, the last hours of jesus christ. Can you tell people more about what this will be about. About and for fox doing it and i saw clips of one done in europe. Unreal to see people of faith walking down the street holing this cross and speaking the message of what the life of christ was about and it is about love and compassion for everyone. So to be a part of that and then finding out it was in my hometown of new orleans i had to be a part of it. Iconic spots as madea would say. Hallelujah. Praise the lordt. With a t.

No, no, no, no. No, my wife is the singer in the family. Oh, okay. But ive learned by osmosis thats why i kind of embraced the whole singing bit but i did othello in nashville, tennessee.
