Sells. If it bleeds it leads. You show crime stories and fires. Thats what folks watch. Its all about ratings. Bill byron york, you saw the entire interview what did you think of it . You have to remember it was a obamafriendly website. But what he said to terrorism is entirely consistent with his efforts to down play the john playthreats. To claim in his state of the Union Address isis is losing territory when it is gaining territory. What he said is entirely consistent with the what is he tried to downplay the threat. Bill hes asked do you think the media overstates the level of alarm. And he says yes and i dont blame the media for that. And it eventually ends up on Climate Change. The question was a setup. Dont you think Climate Change and other problems are more serious. He referred to the killing at kosher market in paris after the Charlie Hebdo attack, he referred those as randomly shooting a bunch of folks in a paris deli. The kosher market was clearly a jewish target and the president seems to be downplaying all that. Bill i think the better way to answer this is when you find beheadings on your laptop, thats what terror is all about. Here is another point about the arc of violence in the world today. The trajectory of this planet overall is one towards less violence more tolerance, less strive, less poverty. Bill in other words more peaceful. The president s secretary of defense said the world was falling apart. The world may be less vie flenlt sweden or a comfortable subject bush the United States. But look at whats napping syria, iraq, pakistan, afghanistan. There is an unprecedented level of violence that threatened to come to europe and the United States. So remember that talk after the state of the union when a number of people, not just the president s critics said he seemed to be out of touch and he was trying to make things appear better than they actually are. This is on steroids. Bill out of washington today thank you. Martha the interview was stunning in many ways. The president went even further in talking to vox likening terrorist acts to crime that happens in big cities, comparing his job as commanderinchief as that a their of a city dealing with crime. Bill talk to us on twitter if you want to talk about that. Martha we are just learning about brandnew airstrikes against isis targets. These strikes are being carried out by the united arab emirates. They stopped their support for the coalition after the execution of the jordanian pilot. They have now resumed those flights today. Bill the syrian dictator Bashar Alassad says hes in the loop on coalition airstrikes. He says his government gets information about strikes inside his country from third parties. Sir yeah in the midst of a civil syria in the midst of a civil war that has killed 200,000 people today. Martha president obama expected to ask congress to allow the use of military force. He will ask for war powers. It could come as early as today. It would be the first war vote by Congress Since lawmakers authorized the iraq war 13 years ago. Kevin cork is live at the white house. Why is the president making this move asking for the aumf at congress . In a word, flexibility. By giving the congress more options, it makes for strange bed fellows inside the beltway. There are a lot of people who normally dont bark the president who seem to be squarely in his corner. I agree congress should authorize the use of force against the Islamic State not only to put to rest any questions about the use of power. But to demonstrate to the world mayoral cams resolve against the fight against tir jar. Against terror. Martha there will be pushback i imagine as well. Right . Reporter no question about that. A lot of the congressional leaders say trust but verify. You can trust the intention of the white house wanting to do better by our troops and be stronger on a world stage but you have to verify that the president has a plan and a willingness to lead. We havent seen an effective plan how you are going to degrade and destroy isis. Isis is an evil, you are not going to reform isis. This will get a lot of attention here today and tomorrow when its expected he will ask congress for the authorized use of military force. Kevin thank you very much. Bill extreme weather alert. Its getting pummeled dealing with a recordsetting amount of snow, 2 feet in some areas. Almost 6 feet. And a new record. Molly line is in boston today. You have got a strong shovel. Hows it going. Martha trying to shovel, no microphone. Bill its so cold we cannot hear her. Maybe well reestablish contact with molly. We can see her fine but the audio cable. Have you seen some of these images . The snow is higher than they are. Martha a couple of feet in boss tons over the course of the last storms. They had four storms in the last couple weeks. There is no more shovel. You have got to get in there with the backhoe and they dump it in dump trucks. Bill some of these dump trucks can melt the ice. They are thinking of dump something of it in the Boston Harbor which they dont like to do. Martha they have gotten special permission to do it in some cases because they have nowhere else to go. The icy roads may have played a role in a deadly pileup in new jersey. Police say the crash involved 15 vehicles including tractor trailers and a fully loaded bus. It happened during a storm with a freezing mix of rain and snow and that turned out to be deadly. One person lost their lives in this accident, dozens were injured. The crash is still under investigation. More dangerous in some ways than the snow which you can get some traction on. This was black and slick. The west is really warm. The last week of open enrollment for obamacare. The white house releasing good news for people qualified for subsidies but bad news for the taxpayer. Martha remember Drew Peterson . New charges for him. Hes accused of killing his third wife and suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife stacy peterson. Bill the president downplaying the threat of terror. For him to downplay this threat of isis to our security is delusional and incredibly unfair to the American People. Martha new charges for Drew Peterson. Remember the former illinois policeman who because accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill the lead prosecutor in his 2012 murder trial but petersons Attorney Says there may be more to that case. There have been people who tried to capitalize, who are in jail withdrew and tried to capitalize by saying he did things or said things the past. And im hopeful this is just another instance of that. Just a better conman. Martha he was convicted of murdering his third wife in a bathtub and hes a us next disappearance of his third wife, stacy peterson. Bill what will the u. S. Do about russias increasing role in ukraine. President obama says he will wait to see what comes out of these highstake talks before making a final decision. Its true if diplomacy fails what i asked my team to do is look at other options. What other means can we put in place to change mr. Putins calculus . And the possibility of lethal defensive weapons is one of those options being examined. But i have not made a decision about that. Bill john bolton, good morning to you. Halting language from the president. Will he give lethal weapons to ukraine to defend himself . I dont think so. I dont think the man knows what hes talking about. First he says if diplomacy ultimately fails. How long is that going to take . How much of sue crane is going to be left . Then he says he will consider all options with respect to syria and Irans Nuclear weapons program. Not much encouragement there. An says he would consider lethal defensive weapons. What is he talking about . What is a lethal defensive weapon . An m16 . Is there such a thing as defensive hand grenades . If a weapon is lethal it will be offensive or defensive. That kind of confusion from the president of the United States encourages putin in the kremlin and discourages western europeans. Bill i guess that means more than mres and night vision goggles. Angela merkel is clearly holding back. What are the germans afraid of . I think what she is worried about is two more years of obamas presidency. She might be prepared to take a harder line against putin. But she sees no American Leadership, she sees no sign the president is willing to take military action against this aggression. If the United States isnt going to lead she is going to cut the best deal she can for germany and thats it. Bill you have some advisors to the president and democrats in congress putting pressure on him to deliver on behalf of kiev. I cant wait to hear what he believes a defensive weapon encompasses. When you do 20 of what you should do six months too late, thats not necessarily a step in the right direction. I think with this feckless response from the United States and nato. Whatever the objective is, putin is continuing to pursue it. Hes not worried about targeted economic sanctions. But the response from the west, i dont think is a major factor. John mccain said this yesterday afternoon. Im not sending a sing. American boot on the ground although we may have trainers with equipment. But im not for sending any ukrainians arent asking for that. They are asking for equipment to defend themselves. Bill how much of iran is the elephant in the room . How much much that is a stalling technique . If you have got a deadline on the iran negotiations that allows russia to do what it werent the next 67 weeks. I think the president is trying to push off a crisis over the ukraine because hes obsessed with signing this Nuclear Weapons deal with iran. I think he wants to do it before there is a prospect of a vote on sanctions in the senate. They will try to fulfill the last year with details to be filled in by june. I think the president is trying to hold on the ukraine front so he can appease iran. Bill times are ticking. Appreciate your time. Martha new details in that deadly car crash that involves bruce jenner. What authorities are saying about the victim. Bill new numbers about how much obamacare might cost the average customer but its the taxpayer on the hook for a lot of money. We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy. Bill a little bit more about the deadly crash involving bruce jenner. Authorities say the woman killed was driving without a license. Jenners publicist say he was not using his phone at the time and will cooperate fully with that investigation. Martha you will foot the bill for obamacare. Big surprise, right . The Obama Administration says thage customer will get 72 of the cost of the healthcare paid for by somebody else. Guess who that somebody else is. Its you the taxpayer. A Supreme Court decision is looming on whether those federal subsidies are ebb legal. First of first of all the cost gets covered by 72 . For every 100 thats shelled out to these obamacare exchanges, 72 comes directly from the federal taxpayer. Thats an enormous subsidy. Onage if you get a subsidy 268 per month will be paid for you by the federal taxpayer. You will only pay on average 105. Martha everyone should be covered and everyone deserves healthcare. So everyone who cannot pea Forward Healthcare gets 72 of their average paid for. That adds up. Obamacare is supposed to cover 2030 Million People who dont currently have insurance. Martha the deal was over time the cost of healthcare overall will fall and everybody will benefit from that. At this moment that is not happening. Especially when you factor in doctor bills and the rest of it. At the Supreme Court 6. 5 Million People currently get their Health Coverage from federal exchanges. 9 out of 10 of them get the subsidy. The Supreme Court ruling that will come out this june, if they say those subsidies from federal exchanges are legal the subsidies disappear and obamacare becomes unaffordable for millions of people. It becomes the unaffordable came act. The states set up their own exchanges. So if a state chose not to set up an exchange then they are under the law the wait was written according to those arguing this, the federal government cannot step in and give subsidies to an exchange. 34 states opted not set up exchanges. The Supreme Court may rule that no subsidies can be paid to the people in those 34 states. In the original law thats the wait was written. If you dont set up an exchange then you dont get federal money. Reporter speaker he localsy said i have got to payments before you can see whats in it. It was very, very bad reply written. Hence his potential to completely disrupt obamacare. Martha when do we expect this decision . There is be a big deal. Well see. Stuart, thank you very much. Bill a piece of las vegas history has been reduced to dust. Oh but those walls could talk. What stays in the vegas will stay in vegas. The latest hotel to be knocked down. Martha backlash after president obama compares the war on terror to fighting crime in a big city. Why is the president downplaying the overall plate. He thinks if i tam it doirnt will go away and people would ignore it if the press would not hype it. People the power of the review. And now angies list is revolutionizing local service again.

Martha there is a hearing about to get underway to discuss looming National Security threats, look at strategies, budget short falls hampering our ability to respond those threats. The ambassador to turkey is scheduled to testify. Well keep an eye on that. In the meantime. 9 31. Boston bombard by another round of snow. They dont have enough room to put all that stuff now. The president s request for new war powers to go to congress as early as today. It would be the first warp vote in congress in more than 10 years. A Senate Committee holding a hearing on the measles vaccine. The outbreak hat spread to 17 states and 120 cases. Criticism after president obama compared the recent deadly terror attacks to fighting crime in a big city. Its entirely legitimate for the American People to be deeply concerned when you have got a bunch of violent vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in paris. Its right and appropriate for to us be vigilant and aggressive in trying to deal with that. The same way a big city mayor has to cut the crime rate down if he wants that city to thrive. Martha rich how are you and rick unger gentlemen welcome. Rick to randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in paris. That struck a lot of people as an odd way to describe what happened there. If you actually read the text of what he said, i think he wasnt suggesting the parisian apack was a random act of violence. I think what he was saying, the guy goes into this deli and you happen to be there you were killed. I think there is some splitting of the hairs. I have some problems with the president said. Im not sure thats where the focus should be. Martha if you are one of those people who worked or lived in that area where it was a kosher deli which was specifically targeted because it was a jewish establishment and you lost one of your loved ones and you hear the president of the United States say randomly shoot a bunch of folks. These are islamic terrorists who deliberately targeted jews. But he avoids saying that. This is the return of the jv term frame of mind. Flrp no domestic terrorists rolling tanks into territory to take it or spouting radical religious ideology that they want to recruit people to carry out terror attacks. Thats whats happening and thats what he cant be honest about. Hes not that concerned about this threat. He wants to paper this threat and hand it over to someone else. Martha who is convincing him of this perspective when it is not shared by francois hollande. And David Cameron who clearly see a link in these things. At the end of his presidency hes liberated to say what he believes. We complain he doesnt have a strategy on the war on radical islam. Reason he doesnt have a strategy is because he thinks there is no need for a strategy because its random violence. This is whats so terrify being the man who is commanderinchief of a country which is essentially you a civilization under attack. I think charles is way overstating the case. I have been on record complaining about the white houses failure to use the term islamic terrorism. But what the president seems to be doing lateyly, and i cant tell you why hes leaving off explanatory sentences. He did it at the prayer breakfast, he did it yesterday. If he would take it a step further this would all get cleared up. Im not sure why hes doing it. Martha we know there was this meeting of middle east leaders and there was a couple head of question panel organizations that met at at white house and it seems the focus was islamophobia. So dont worry. One doesnt negate the other. Martha is that what the president should be focusing on . Most of the Islamic Community seems to recognize their own people are being killed in larger numbers than anyone else. The threat of islamophobia isnt as much of a threat of islamic terrorism. People are ghght name of islam and the prophet and killing people. Once you are the president of the United States and you are not willing to say the term islamic you cant follow the logic to the natural conclusions. The reason hes having trouble explaining it because he cant be honest on what it is. I dont think its fair to say islamic terrorism is worse than islamophobia, i think they are both bad. Lets not make
