inheritance" story you would like to share with us? we would love to hear it, send me an e-mail or go tour web . kennedy: hi there, welcome to it. the 26-year-old american aid work, she has been killed. kayla mueller, captive by isis in august 2013 as she was leaving a doctors without borders hospital in syria. she was part of the group special forces tried to rescue there. unfortunately the team got there too late. her family had hearts broken and hopes dashed as isis claimed and proved to kayla's family, she did indeed lose her life. >> she has done more in her incredible 26 years than many people could imagine doing in their lifetime. kayla has touched the heart of the world, the world grieves

with us. kennedy: indeed, it's so sad another family has to be part of torture. today the white house said even if that's the case iisis is responsible for her death and her blood is on their hands. >> what is not possible to call into question is that isil, regardless of her cause of death, is responsible for it. kennedy: so i have to ask, is kayla's death the galvanizing force that will shift the president's focus on isis? he hesitates to use the term radical islam and generals with galaxy of stars on shoulders say our policy is rudderless and ineffective. >> u.s. policymakers refuse to accurately name the movement as radical islam. we further choose not to define it nor explain its ideology, and most critical, we have no comprehensive strategy to stop or defeat it.

kennedy: general jack keane saying we are fighting incremental war, and that is a losing battle. the president is going to have to sit down with members of congress to hammer out the use of military force. the last time congress was presented with such a document, kim kardashian was just another sluty debutante. only a few things have changed. the president's argument, he can take any willy-nilly action or inaction against isis, that is flimsy at best and unconstitutional at worst. he knows he has to put it up for a vote, he conveniently waited until after the midterms to formalize congressional fervor, they're not all applauding him now that he's willing to step up. lindsey graham, robin to senator mccain's angry bird had to this to say on neil cavuto. >> strategy to degrade isil, won't work. i honest to god want to destroy these guys, after today,

shouldn't everybody want to destroy these guys? kennedy: guess what, we got to take baby steps to get there. not to be undone by their own drama, congress sent israel into a tailspin over next month's planned speech by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. you know bebe, the star of this campaign ad. >> baby-sitter? kennedy: bebe, sitter, get it? the pun is just as corny in hebrew, we checked. netanyahu is up for re-election next month, he's trying to improve his chances, 47% of israelis are not wild about the speech, and they consider it a political stunt. just ask mitt romney. that 47% can come back to bite you in the ars come election day. i say to bebe, the elephants and damn donkeys, make like "frozen" and let it go.

♪ let it go, let it go >> so beautiful, no one wants the drama, and we all want to keep iran from getting the bomb. trust me. sound good, you don't want iran doing that. i know i'm right. we can have the big talk after the election. we will have to find a way to work together on iran and isis and all the whack jobs in between. there is too much evil out there to suck the oxygen out of room with manufactured problems. kayla mueller spent her life helping people who really needed it. she wrote a letter to her dad saying she found god and other people suffering. i refuse to believe that kind of good can be extinguished from the world and eville will thrive in its place. i'm constantly torn what to do with isis, the answer doesn't involve killing more people.

i'd love to hear what here family will have to say on this. and hopefully so will the president. so much to chew on. come grab a plateful. i'm kennedy. 26-year-old kayla mueller, american aid worker was captured by isis in 2013, confirmed by the white house and her family today. the president had this to say about her story. >> the one thing that we have held to is a policy of not paying ransoms. once we start doing that, not only are we financing their slaughter of innocent people, and strengthening the organization, but we're actually making americans even greater targets. kennedy: all right, let's try and make some sense of this, k.t. mcfarland, fox news national security analyst. so what an incredible girl. you hear more about her story

and the selfless acts, and she went out of her way to some of the most dangerous parts of the world to help people, whether it was pakistan, france, i know that's tame compared to. that but she wept to the turkey-syria border to help the refugees and found herself there, and unfortunately, she's dead now because of isis and their shenanigans. is she our jordanian pilot? >> well, we'll have to see. the person that has to be convinced this is a problem is 1600 pennsylvania avenue. it's got to be the president. the united states has to lead, and when the president keeps putting out the straw dog argument, if you don't like what we're doing, you want 200,000 troops go into iraq. those are not the two choices. there's a big huge space in between, and i think that having looked at this and kind of come late to the game, i do think that islamic jihad or radical islamic terrorism is the existential challenge of

our time. it's not that they're after kayla or the jordanian pilot. this is a movement that wants to destroy western civilization. it's not just isis, isis is only a piece of it. it's radical islam, boko haram, whether you call it the khorasan group or al qaeda or alshebab, this is radical islamic jihad that wants to kill western civilization as well as any other muslims who disagree with their particular brand of islam. the war is against them, against the rest of the world, and i think that the united states and western civilization, and moderate muslims need to come together with a comprehensive plan. it's not just military, but it's economics, it's ideological, it's diplomatic, as well as military, but not all boots on the ground. i think the only boots on the ground america should use is to rescue americans. kennedy: i definitely agree with you about moderate islam, going out and rescuing their

own faith in their own part of the world, and we have to be adamant about that, that's a strategy that the president is lukewarm on. now speaking of president obama, he will soon ask congress for authorizization of military force against isis. likely to pass. republicans and democrats are divided on authorization of ground forces and where to set the time, the geographic limits. so many questions, how should congress respond? i'm going to put this to you. president mcfarland, what do you ask for when you draft? >> i would say when i was in the white house in the nixon administration, this is when the war powers act was passed, passed not have another vietnam. fast-forward to where we are today, i believe that congress needs to buy. in i believe it for several reasons. one not only is it probably constitutional, a requirement, but also if you fight a war, it's going to be hard, it's going to be long, complicated. it's going to have a lot of ups

and downs and probably a lot of disappointment. we, president mcfarland, we want buy-in from the american people, we want congress to be here on the takeoff because you know, maybe they need to be there on the landing as well. we have seen in the post war period as my old boss henry kissinger says, we start the wars with enormous enthusiasm and can't figure out how tend to them. kennedy: that's the problem when you name it the war on terror that is so vague. so vague that 13 years later, this president is using out of date aumf, there are limits on the new one. are you worried it will confine the president too much? >> i don't believe you should and congress micromanage the president any more than the national security council staff of 1700 people ought to be managing the generals in the pentagon, but congress needs to be in on this, congress and the american people, it's a long war. kennedy: and they need to go on the record. >> right, and need to go on the

record, because they need to be there when times get tough. kennedy: speak of congress, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is scheduled to address both houses very soon, causing friction with president obama over iranian negotiations that are under way, and u.s. protocol of not meeting leaders around election time which is malarkey nonsense is. president obama in the right, or should he invite bebe to the white house, or should the prime minister postpone his trip? >> look, as a mother, i would like to get bebe netanyahu and barack obama behind closed doors, work it out, when we're on our way to the emergency room because you are both bleeding or solved it. from netanyahu's perspective, he looks at potential nuclear iran being existential threat to his country. no amount of niceties and smooth it over and goodsies and badsys is going to take over the fact he could be the leader of a nation facing nuclear

weapons, nuclear missiles are tested, nuclear weapons are developed. from his perspective he's got to do everything. if i were in that position, i would run hell and high water to stop nuclear weapons being in my country. kennedy: our leaders don't have to engage in this, and for me, it seems like a bunch of needless drama. i say come closer, put it off. you'll be fine, the message will be loud and clear. don't get into a kielbasa-swinging contest with the president. not worth it. coming up, the latest on the american sniper, that trial in texas can, chris kyle's killer get a fair trial? war over gay marriage is brewing in alabama. and i'm going to have no problem with the gay people getting hitched. my next guest thinks i'm crazy, k.t. mcfarland, thank you so much for being here, always interesting to hear your

point of view. i love it. stay with us. ♪ hey, john! john and horace dodge launched their first car in 1914. but they were not only business partners, they were brothers. competitive...

. kennedy: welcome back to the show. the chief justice of the alabama supreme court has told probate judges to ignore a federal ruling which otherwise legalizes same-sex marriage in that state. look at these lines of people just waiting to get married in

alabama. now am i crazy to think that consenting adults should have all the access to the legal institution and benefits of marriage? this is you're crazy kennedy. peter sprig is senior fellow of policy studiesa the family research council. how are you? >> i'm well, thank you. kennedy: excellent. tell me your version of events. what happened in alabama? >> what's happening in alabama is unfortunate, but perhaps a predictable result of judicial activism on this issue. what happens specifically in a technical sense is that the lawsuit, the same-sex marriage lawsuit named the attorney general of alabama as the defendant, and the judges, january 23rd decision and joined the attorney general from enforcing alabama's marriage law defining marriage as the union of a man and woman. kennedy: they have a constitutional amendment in that state saying that marriage

is between a man and a woman, correct? >> right. kennedy: and the judge found that that was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. >> that was her opinion, yes, but judge moore, the chief justice of the alabama supreme court is saying that under alabama law, the attorney general who's part of the executive branch does not have responsibility over marriage, it's the judicial branch which governs marriage, and therefore, the injunction does not apply to that. kennedy: the chief justice in that state is saying hey, listen, gay people shouldn't be married because it's yucky and telling all of his judge friends, please do not issue marriage licenses, and a lot of people are torn. this happened in california, after some legal wrangling when proposition 8 passed in that state, which also granted an amendment to the state's constitution, that was eventually overturned, roughly for the same reason. i want to ask you, this i know

you're a smart person, you spend a lot of time thinking about the law and particularly this issue. are you a limited government person? >> largely i am a limited government person, yes. that's part of the reason i don't believe in expanding the definition of marriage. kennedy: i understand that. so maybe you and i have a little more common ground on this than we think. i am also a limited government person, and i think the government should stay out of marriage completely, don't you agree with me? >> the reason marriage is treated as a public institution, it brings together men and women for the reproduction of the human race. >> you don't need the government to do that, all you need is a good bottle of cabernet, am i right? >> tell people in northern europe where birth rates are plummeting, and also you encourage a man and woman to stay together to raise to maturity the children produced by their union, those are important public purposes and

purposes only served by opposite-sex couples. kennedy: i love making babies and practicing, i have friends who have chosen not to have children. do you think their marriage is illegitimate because they're not bringing children into the world? >> the problem is to exclude opposite-section couples who don't pro create for marriage would indeed challenge the constitution, inquiries into intent or fertility which would be questionable under the constitution. kennedy: indeed. >> you don't have to make the inquiries to determine that same-sex couples are not going to pro create naturally. kennedy: let's take the institution away from the government and therefore we can all live freely with our choices. peter, thank you very much. >> if it was all about adults, that would be fine, it's about children. kennedy: it is about children and monogamous adults coming together glorifying god with their monogamy and love who chose to raise children in nontraditional ways.

peter, thank you very much. tell me what you think, follow me on twitter, always eager to read and hear your comments. coming up, my old friend bill bellamy is going to be here to talk about jon stewart leaving "the daily show," who is his pick to take over that most important chair? the american sniper trial is about to begin in texas. is it possible for chris kyle's killer to get a fair trial? we'll get into it next. i'd rather do anything else than sit at a dealership.

. kennedy: hey there, welcome back, chris kyle, the navy s.e.a.l. depicted in "american

sniper" shot along with his friend at a gun range in 2013 shot by fellow veteran eddie ray routh, who suffered from ptsd, the high-profile case made jury selection very tough. the 12 people have been seated for the jury trial. we have a criminal defense lawyer and fox legal analyst, along with r.j. a criminal defense attorney in beautiful los angeles. welcome, gentlemen. >> i'm very nervous, premiere for me. i want to thank the academy. kennedy: yep, yep, you and r.j. both making the big what-what on tonight's show. >> so this is a case. kennedy: see, i haven't started asking the questions yet, thank you, arthur. >> going right into it. >> this is a case based around the movie that set records for the -- kennedy: lot of people have seen the movie, 300 million dollars at the box office.

everyone knows about the story. >> pushed "saving private ryan" out of way and groping -- grossing -- kennedy: groping? >> more applicable time. judge should grant the application to delay this for a short period of time. not in the height of all this. kennedy: this is what eddie ray routh's defense attorney was asking for, he wanted change of venue and wanted extra time to put things together. >> so one or the and other he got none. kennedy: r.j., let me ask you, welcome to the show, my friend. >> thank you for having me on. kennedy: absolutely. how would you go about it, if you are hit defense attorney, what is jour defense in this case? >> it's pretty simple. even though motive is not an element to the crime, i would ask the jury why would eddie ray routh, friends with chris kyle, whose friend with chad littlefield decide to kill him? it's not the eddie ray routh

you know, it's somebody different. he came back from war a different person and you need experts to present why he changed and at what point he changed. that would explain his actions. he's not a ruthless killer, that's got to be brought out. he has post-traumatic stress disorder, very common in veterans that are coming home from military combat. whether or not he was in military combat is not actually at issue because he could have got what's called secondary post-traumatic stress, hearing or being around that type of environment. kennedy: that is an explanation, but arthur, that's not an excuse, and a jury is going to see this especially with this beloved american hero. >> it will be a battle of the experts, you have the defense attorneys putting on experts saying he suffered from such a severe mental disease or defect caused by the war that he was unable to -- his brain to prove

murder, you have to say someone intended or recklessly did something. the defense attorneys are going to say he was so screwed up, he was not able to form that reckless of intent. and the prosecutors have to put their harvard educated people on and say absolutely not. kennedy: but here's the problem, especially in texas, you are going to run into people, military families who met people with ptsd who have gotten treatment for it, my brother is a marine, he got treatment, he didn't kill people. r.j., ask you this, 12 people seated, ten are women. what is the rationale? >> goes with the jury demographic. you don't choose jurors, you deal with the jurors you are given. and i think the ten women are actually good. they could be mothers, they could have children, they could understand routh's position, and what arthur was saying, i completely agree. this is going to be on appeal. if this guy loses, they're doing this in the middle of the

hottest movie in america right now, "american sniper," they want this guy to get a trial in the mecca, in the capital of where chris kyle comes from in stephenville, completely absurd. delay the trial six months, let the guy get another trial in another jurisdiction, not in this jurisdiction, and maybe have a fair trial. kennedy: the judge isn't going for that. >> what people should know, if the defense is successful and get the insanity defense, statistically speaking you're incarcerated fair longer period of time, if you're found not guilty by reason of insanity than guilty and sentenced -- kennedy: in california that might play to other parts of the country. in texas, they enjoy capital punishment trials. we'll see what happens. gentlemen, come back. >> this is a great first experience. i am no longer a virgin of kennedy. kennedy: i am in the middle of a man sandwich, thank you for

making me the meat. thank you very much. >> thank you. kennedy: coming up, secret jeb bush e-mails you are not going to believe. google introduced a robot dog. and pictures of joan rivers' lavish new york apartment. are you going to buy it?

. kennedy: i've never met a flurry of weird stories i didn't adore. if you share my love, come into my snow globe, this is "topical storm." topic number one, in an effort to be less like his brother, jeb bush is trying to prove presidential muster by releasing unsolicited e-mails. he started jeb e-mails.com, that almost no one has gone to except for a few sycophants and insomniacs and members of the show staff. telling missives, the website is far more transparent than any of us anticipated, and here

a few orlando sized whoppers from the jeb files. george, if you prank me, if you prank call me again, i swear to god i'm going to call dad. this is garbage being governor of florida, it's just as important, maybe more important than being president. jeb. here's another, dear mr. cheney, hey, do you know what would be really super funny, i was thinking this april fool's day, i could pretend to be the president and george could pretend to be governor of florida. isn't that a hoot? jeb. dear head master, i couldn't help but notice in the end over alumni newsletter that you booked my brother george as the commencement speaker. that's a fine choice. may i suggest going to the 1961 year book which george was voted class clown and i was voted most likely to become president. if you need a spare copy, you can borrow mine.

jeb. poor jeb. the pain is there, but will it ever be lived with sav? that didn't make sense! topic number two, in electronics news, boston dynamics, the robotics company google acquired is busy perfecting the perfect edog. last model was unwieldy 240 pounds, far too heavy for man's best virtual friend. they cooked up a new pup called spot. smaller, quicker and a magnet for robot animal abuse. watch this disturbing footage. watch this. yes! see that. heartless google staffers think it's okay to kick a robot dog when other people are looking. what do you think they do with their own carbon based mammals when no one is around. i, for one am going to call, i'm an artificial yelp away from phoning the authorities, google. and not to be outdone, uae, no

knowing our clients personally is why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way. . kennedy: hey you. welcome back, a high school teacher in wisconsin, has designed a quiz which caused quite a stir with students' families. she asked students to identify what political philosophy would say quote, we should not help the poor, it's a waste of money. the answer turned out to be, conservatives. evil greedy, terrible conservatives, that is an objective fact. all right? other choices were communists, liberal democrats or michael moynihan. michael moynihan is with us, a columnist at the daily beast,

and he thinks the poor are expensive waste of time. and charles cook is a writer for the national review. gentlemen, welcome. >> thanks. >> none of this surprises me, my senior english teacher in high school failed me, he was avowed socialist and i was a republican, and he took great glee in giving me a big fat f at the end of the school year, he can eat a bag of rancid sticks as far as i'm concerned. >> because you hated the poor? kennedy: because i hated the poor, and still do. >> just like me. answer to that question would be randians. i don't want them on my case. kennedy: libertarian wasn't a choice. >> it would be the logical position from somebody like this, libertarians who want to take the money away from the poor. the correct answer sdmrishgs was take the test in my head would be communists, wouldn't

it? kennedy: that was one of the choices. >> yes, it was. i think of places like north korea and cuba and laos where there's a lot of poor people who have absolutely nothing, which would suggest they hate them. >> the we is important. it said we don't want to spend the money. the we in this case is the government, and that's not the only way of helping people. it shows the poverty of the left, and they cannot imagine if you don't want to spend money through government channels, don't want to help people through brute force, you wish to help them at all. there are lots of ways to help. i say it is virtuous to help people with your own money than the proxy of a gun, this is not the way people think and have to get children involved because if you tax them early -- kennedy: how deeply engrained can the ideology where a teacher administers this, not even tongue-in-cheek, and the

kid wrote down fascist and she marked it wrong? >> the great thing about this is it was wrong on almost every level. the definition that the teacher gave for fascism was about being attached to a business and doing whatever the business wants or you'll be fired or thrown in prison or something. this woman is confused on almost every political definition, and by the way, fascism was quite having helped the poor, there's things of nazi germany. kennedy: and means a bundle of sticks. >> there you go. kennedy: last week at the washington prayer breakfast, president obama said remember that during the crusades and the inquisition people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ and referencing islam and david axelrod analyzed a statement for a man named bill o'reilly.

>> it was provocative. he knew that. his point was let us not define that entire quarter of the planet by the actions of extremists, isolate the extremists just as we wouldn't blame every christian for the acts of some christians, every jew for the acts of some jews. kennedy: that's not what you're doing when you separate the bad ones from the moderate one, historical context or moral equivalence, it's clear he despises the president. >> here's the problem. kennedy: yes, charles. >> we could have the debate about the past, we could have the debate about christians and muslims and jews, if you like. if you're the president of the united states, you have to pick a side. it's not good enough have professorial conversation about moral equivalence. you shouldn't be in the job. you don't want to stand there and handicap yourself, it would be odd if ronald reagan said we

have problems with race in america and intern the japanese, mr. gorbachev please tear down this wall. that's not really his job. although i think there's a colonel of truth to what obama said, it's chronologically peculiar, he shouldn't be making those comments when fighting evil. kennedy: i was surprised -- >> because the professorial president used such a stupid cliche, it was i think on september 12, 2001, i started hearing this every day. a month after september 11th, bill clinton went up and said exact same thing about the crusades. this is the sort of janet jackson school of historical wrongs like what have you done for me lately. this is a thousand years ago, the first crusade. we don't want to get into the specifics whether or not they are morally equivalent if the crusades were defensive or offensive war. kennedy: isn't historical context much more important?

>> one would hope, but sometimes none of this stuff has to do with religion at all. how dare you seed the ground to that and say this is a bad religion in islam. and now it's a bad religion. hey, our religion, not our religion but christianity has done some horrible things a thousand years ago. i just -- kennedy: is it the same thing as raping women, crucifying children, and burying them alive today? >> no. kennedy: i don't think they're the same. >> it is the same language they use. the west are crusaders, and to say we are kind of like that, i don't think it's helpful in any way. >> that's the point, the sense he had to go back that far is damning for those he was trying to placate because there is no

moderate comparison. >> i think one of the other things i hear often is that well, you wouldn't say that fred phelps is a representative of christianity. you do understand that the westborough baptist church is six people and all in the phelps family, and no one is traveling from all areas of the globe. kennedy: they have a facebook page and he's still -- >> i don't care about that church, although they are repugnant, they never hurt anybody. fact they exist and permitted to speak makes me feel freer. if they're allowed to do their thing as gross as they are, whatever i do in my life peacefully, i'm going survive. kennedy: with that, we wrap it up. michael and charles, thank you very much. handsome and intelligence, my old friend bill bellamy is here, we're going to talk about jon stewart leaving "the daily

show." and who should take his place? i have an idea, next. hey, girl.

in the studio with a live audience of about 100 people. kennedy: wow. >> and everyone is skyping in from across america. real people, teachers, athletes, dancers, singers and had a couple of opera singers call in and can you win up to 35,000. kennedy: i will do, it no one better than you with a studio audience. i love my friends at game show network. talk about "the daily show," i think you would be perfect for this job. >> really? >> yes. >> i love jon stewart, for 17 years what he gave us in commentary and joke satire, he encompassed a lot. i'm curious to find out why he's quitting. maybe he's retiring like michael jordan did and going to a different team, you know? and come back and boom, boom. is that true? kennedy: i think that if brian williams doesn't get himself out of hot water, jon stewart could take over for brian williams, that's the next level for someone like jon stewart, totally redefined his own

career. he was a veejay with us. >> people don't know what that is. if it's a deejay, a veejay was a video jockey. we were the host of every day delivering the best videos, creative videos, artistic videos to millions of people. kennedy: and you ruled over hip-hop and r&b, that was an incredible time, it was the resurgence of a new form of rock called grunge and when r&b burst onto the scene. >> blew up. early 90s was such a pivotal point in music. mtv provided what was called to pop culture. kennedy: there was no facebook, no twitter. >> i remember going to d.c. with you for rock the vote. kennedy: that's right, you named my bottom. >> i did! i can't believe you remember that. kennedy: come up with the term booty call, but he named my
