rs. people haven't been able to tell. cheryl: craig, very interesting. we're out of time. fascinating technology. of course he is the founder of corgin. that is it for me, cheryl casone. melissa francis over to you. melissa: isis even more brutal than ever. it reportedly kills the jordanian hostage and president obama caught the act vicious and barbaric. as meets with his cabinet over the $4 trillion budget. they're not in the mead to negotiate. how measles turned into a campaign issue. every politician has to weigh in on the vaccine debate. even when they say it's not it is always about money. melissa: breaking news. isis reportedly releasing video of a jordanian pilot held hostage since december, being burned alive by his captors. president obama spoke about this incident a short time ago.

>> indicates the eagree to which whatever -- degree to which whatever ideology they're operating off of it is bankrupt. we're here to talk about how to make people healthier and make their lives better. and this organization appears only interested in death and destruction. melissa: here to discuss rich lowery, editor for "national review" and fox news contributor. jack hough is "barron's" senior editor. monica crowley opinion editor at "the washington times." she is also a fox news contributor. wow, you know, it just continues. you look at the president's response. he says this ideology, whatever it may be, still not naming it, still not, monica. what is your impression? >> i was stunned to hear the president. we know he had his difficulties actually expressing what this enemy is and idea today, after this whatever their ideology

is. everybody knows what their ideology is islamic suppression, requires conquering infidel land and that is what isis. doesn't what president obama thinks about islam, it matters what islamists think about islam. they're running show in muslim world. they're conquering territory and slaughtering people across the middle east and rest of the world. we ought to pay attention to what they think about what they are doing. we ought to have commander-in-chief who is willing to fight the war the way it needs to be fought. melissa: rich, taking back to message we're sending he was obviously there at press conference to talk about something else, he was confronted with question what was going on. he made a quick off-the-cuff statement which often times more telling because it is not prepared. he says, sort of struggling for words. at one point he brings it back to obamacare and says we're here talking about the health of our people and making people feel better and they're killing

people. it really does not feel like you've got someone at the helm that is going to stomp out people who want to kill us. >> right. the whatever their ideology phrase is just stunning. as though he doesn't have access to wikipedia and can look people up, with access to the best intelligence sources on earth. and to contrast between the way we conduct themselves and the way they conduct themselves yes it is very telling it is very important but meaningless unless you go there on the ground and kill them. we've been bombing heck out of syria. they have been actually gaining territory. melissa: we'll move to the market in one second. it is really rallying. jack, i want to give you a second to weigh in. >> i think this action speaks to their desperation trying to find new ways to. 6,000 of their fighters dead. my stop story. five new airstrikes in last 24 hours, buildings vehicles and men. i choose to focus on that. melissa: why didn't he say that then? he doesn't talk about that. we'll get more into this a

little bit later into the show. i want to direct your attention to the markets. we're in rally territory. we're looking at a market huge jump there, up 272 points. energy stocks leading the way. they are enjoying a nice bump of fourth straight day of higher oil prices which are on track to settle above 50 for the first time since january think. -- think. jack, let me ask your impression. >> seasonal effect from refineries shutting down from maintenance. it is not clear whether this is longer term think. i certainly don't think anything that has changed this incredible trend we've seen. melissa: i agree with you, i totally agree with you, because i see different news outlets say this is driven by the streak going on which doesn't make any logical sense. i covered oil for a long time. if there is strike at oil the price goes down because demand for oil is lower. refineries are down. price of products goes up but not crude oil. to me, bp came out saying

they're cutting cap-ex. you see that at the bottom there. to me this feels like trader driven rally. feels like there is position they're covering or momentum. doesn't seem like there is a lot of logic. wan to weigh in rich. >> i usually don't weigh in on trader driven rallies but feels to me the price is relative blip driven by seasonal factors. again, this is something that the drop in energy prices is good for the entire economy. every player in the economy except for some of the energy producers at the march against. melissa: right. and the labor in this field. president obama set to meet with his cabinet minutes from now. headlining the agenda, trying to push through the 4 trillion-dollar budget proposal. the white house is drawing a line in the sand, with president claiming he won't net on defense spending parameters. monica. >> meet the new obama. same as the old obama. nobody should be surprised by this either. this is the sixth time we've

done this go round. every time he presents a budget it's a political document. it is not a serious fiscal document for the future of the united states. his blueprint is always political. always designed to make the republicans look bad. look, i want to give you free community college. i want to give you free child care but those mean old republicans worried about the deficit and debt and they won't let me do it. >> he used words invest so many more times starting to sound like warren buffett. we can talk about all that is wrong. we only have hour show. two things that seem good. both side seem to agree we need significant infrastructure investment. i would like to see that. there is an opportunity to do something about -- melissa: did you say investment? because we banned that word. >> oh, yeah. spending. something to bring home the corporate profits overseas. some sort of a deal to get a reduce the rate to incentivize to companies to bring those home. i would invest in that too. melissa: radioshack finally in

demand again but it not way they intended. with chapter 11 bankruptcy looming, amazon and among takers to take over radioshack. radioshack, you've been there a lot. when you saw the "weird al" yankovic ad before black friday did you raise into the store. >> black friday, something else i know nothing about. i'm a child of the mid 20th century. radioshack is retail rocks. goes how dynamic the economy is. eventually 20, 30 years from now we'll be having this conversation about google. we having about uber and google and wall the ma. they are falling behind. melissa: you have to change with the times like everyone else. they were behind. >> creative destruction of the free market. like rich i'm very sad to see radioshack go. i was there two weeks ago. melissa: wait, wait. you're the one. you're the one! what did you go to buy. >> buy a capacitor or transistor? >> a car charger for my new

blackberry. >> core audience in radioshack. melissa: what did that set you back like 3.99? >> about 12 bucks but not enough. >> did they throw in a need dill for the record player? >> make fun. melissa: can you remember if there is one near me and i sort of go -- >> went couple years ago for something. might have been like a headphones or something. i decided against it. they had 12 of what i was looking for but nothing that really, faces weren't right. melissa: you're called something that is become obsolete, to have radio in your name. >> exactly. melissa: it is -- >> the size of the stores, it is just right for a wireless business. that is why this talk about a wireless company taking over makes sense. melissa: makes sense. thanks guys. bill is finally coming due for obamacare. new york slapping consumers with a tax on their health plans. your state could be next. plus, living it up on somebody else's dime.

melissa: short while ago isis releasing a video showing the captured jordanian pilot burned alive. jordan nan tv says the pilot was killed january 3rd. all the while jordan working with terrorists to spare the pilot's life up until this devastating news. chris harmer, institute of study of war. joins me on the phone. fox news has not confirmed that. it is other news outlets saying local to the area. do you believe he has really been dead since january 3rd chris? >> there is significant amount of evidence on facebook

youtube, other social media sites indicating he was previously executed. all along isis was dangling this guy to the jordanian government as part of psychological warfare campaign. they were not going to exchange him for prisoner. they were always going to execute him. they delayed this to impact the jordanian decision making process as much as they can. melissa: a lot is made of the fact it is, i don't know how you grade levels of brutality because it is also ugly because this has taken it to a new level it seems. to elicit a certain response from us. we don't want to fall gnat trap. chris, what do you think is the appropriate response from americans right now? >> i think the appropriate response has always been we need to understand the core nature of isis. this is nothing different than they have done before except they're just publicizing it. these guys have always been brutal and always been vicious v they have been beyond categorization in terms of

brutality. so i think the american people need to understand, this is not the jv team of terrorism. melissa: yeah. >> these guys are the olympic dream team of terrorists. they are self-selecting terrorists from all over the world to go to isis to be the worst they can be. melissa: let me ask you before we run out of time, you know, bill o'reilly made the comparison saying isis is, there is no difference between them and nazis. from your point of view, is that a fair assessment. >> yeah, i think structurally philosophically that is true. they certainly have destruction of is ray as primary goal. in this video, i don't recommend the viewers watch it, they compare jordanians assign it imagery. they use image of israel all the time in pop grand today videos. they have the destroy the jews approach. melissa: chris, thank you for your insight. >> thank you. melissa: terrible stuff. market in rally mode as oil surges 7%. nicole pet on floor of

new york stock exchange. with more what is driving the trade. what is driving oil higher? >> we've seen momentum of oil trading higher. we've seen it sell off the last year or so for energy stocks in particular. we've seen momentum gaining. many people over the last 48 hours questioning whether or not that in fact had been the bottom. we've seen oil jumping over 18% in three days, we haven't seen a move like that in three days in six years. so energy stocks are jumping. nine of the sectors are higher with exception of health care and energy leading the way. melissa? melissa: nicole, thank you so much. the bill for obama care coming due again as of january 1st. states have to run exchanges without federal money. we knew this day was coming. new york's innovative solution is push the costs on to consumers. of course it is! completely predictable. the $69 million tax works out for now to $25 a year a person. other states falling -- following in their footsteps no

doubt. paul howard manhattan institute. monica back as well. could you see this coming. you push the costs on to the states. what are they going to do? governor cuomo's initial response, let me petition and just slap a tax on every single policy out there to pay for the exchange. it will only getobigger. give me your thoughts. >> first of all new york is already the most heavily taxed insurance state in the nation. $5 billion in hidden insurance taxes and fees on everybody that buys insurance or covered by insurance in the state. this is adding yet more pain. as cost goes up, people drop out. it is not a competitive environment. if you want subsidy you have to go to the exchange. even if you buy the insurance off the exchange you have to pay the tax. that is the big pain. melissa: you are expert that drills down into the numbers. i lean on you heavily for this. will this go to other states? how will other states deal with it? this is why we bring this up. not because we live in new york but because we're warning what comes to a state near you. >> absolutely.

the money is now going away. all the state exchanges are supposed to be fully funded themselves by january 1st 2016. everybody will have to look variation, charging insureds some kind of user fee. federal exchanges will have 3.5% premium tax on everyone who buys coverage. the big problem, why is there more competition? why am i stuck in new york's exchange? why can't i go somewhere else? melissa: that is a great point. monica, i want to be fair look at numbers and what we were promise and and what actually came to happen. when president obama told "the new york times," mark my words, premiums will go down. he said at the end of this you will see your premium lower by as much as $2500. now, the same administration told the same "new york times," in november, that the average costs was going to go up 20%. this year. >> you're kidding? this president lied about obamacare? no. no. i mean this is just the latest in a long litany of lies that they have told the american

people over and over again to get the thing passed and make sure that it survived and wrapped its tentacles around the health care industry and economy as a whoa. look, when you were talking about all these new taxes of course it is horrible. remember what obamacare was really about, it was never about health care. it was always about government power and control. it was a massive wealth redistribution scheme. now when we talk about these new taxes to keep the exchanges going, what do you think is going on? once again, radical wealth redistribution. melissa: so obvious from the onset. i don't know why people believed this lie. amazing to me. math never worked. still doesn't. we can see it here. thanks to you both. appreciate your time. secret sauce is for sale. hefty price tag what makes the big mac, an international treasure. wow, that is making me hungry. chaos at the nation's airports. thousands of flights delayed. more snow on the way. do you ever have too much money? ♪
