get more facts at ramtrucks.com. hello, welcome to "justice." i'm judge jeanine pirro. in a few moments my opening statement on american sniper, chris kyle. first, breaking news tonight in the growing deflategate football controversy. today new england patriots head coach bill belichick fights back and says that his team follows every rule to the letter. take a look. >> at no time was there any intent whatsoever to try to compromise the integrity of the game or to gain an advantage. quite the opposite. we feel like we followed the rules of the game to the letter in our preparations, in our

procedures. all right? and in the way that we handle every game that we competitively played in. >> with me now, fox sports analyst, jim gray. good evening, jim. coach belichick spoke for the better half of 30 minutes earlier today. did he say anything of substance? >> reporter: yes. he laid out the case as to what he feels happened with the footballs, and that there was nothing nefarious and that there was no intent in any way, shape or form to deflate the footballs on behalf of the new england patriots from what he can ascertain and the conversations he has had with his staff and the people who handled the footballs. >> okay. why is it that those footballs were the ones that were deflated and not the other team? >> well, if we knew the answer to that, roger goodell would pay you a lot of money because he's paying mr. wells and investigators a ton of money to try and figure that out. jeanine, i don't know. you're a judge. you probably would have a better idea than i would on that one.

but the balls are deflated. that is the story. we don't know how much they were deflated. we know that 11 of the 12 were deflated. we don't know how they got to that position other than the explanation that coach belichick offered today and we're just going to have to wait and find out. but the facts as we know it, we don't have a definitive answer on how they got there. >> okay. now, you're right. i'm a judge and i was a prosecutor so i'm always suspicious. here's the thing. none of the colts' footballs were deflated, were they? >> well, again, we don't know that. we don't know what they started at, and if they were at 13.5 and went down to 13.2, or 12.5, they were of regulation. that's all we know. we know that the league has said that those balls were conforming to the standards of the game that they were to be played. however, they may have been inflated a pound over to start with. there's so much we don't know. so, you know, we can't guess until we have all of the information. people can throw out all kinds of theories. people can throw autoall kinds of rumor and speculation, but i think it's better since i'm

talking to a judge to deal in the facts we know. >> all right. let's go through the facts as we know it. it is true, is it not, that tom brady has previously said pub c publicly that he prefers deflated balls, correct? footballs. >> well, that's tongue in cheek. you know, he was asked back in 2011 about rob gronkowski getting excited in the end zone and spiking a football and he said, well, i kind of like that because it deflates it. so, i mean, to say that that now is the reason that these balls were deflated or now puts him on course, is that what he wants? that's not -- i'm not going to go there with that. you may want to. i don't. >> okay. that's a piece. now, let's talk about the fact that the league, as i understand it, you know, approves the footballs and the weight of the football and then the football goes to the team? is that correct? >> reporter: everybody delivers 12 footballs. both teams deliver 12 footballs

that they want to use in the game. they deliver another 12 as backup footballs in the event that the other 12 aren't good. so each team delivers 48 footballs to the officials and the officiating crew 2 hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. they are then inspected and then they are authenticated and they are checked off. when they are checked off with whatever marking that that officiating crew or official uses, they can be considered used for the game. then just before kickoff, some 10 or 15 minutes before, those balls are taken out of the storage area where the referees have been overviewing and seeing them by team employees which is a really bad idea. i mean, whoever thought that this was a good idea is just way, way out there somewhere because why not keep them with the officials or keep them with the league employees instead of team employees? >> exactly. >> so they then go out to the sidelines for those 10 or 15 minutes then they're put into play. >> all right. so they are inspected, authenticated, calibrated and given to the ball boy or given

back to the team and that is if there were an opportunity to in some way, you know, change the, deflate the balls, it could certainly happen then. that would be an opportunity. that would be after the inspection, but before the game. but, anyway, let's move on. the rules say, jim, that the penalty for -- should include but not be limited to a fine of $25,000. so is there any precedent for taking out a winner in a game where there has been some tampering with the football? >> is there any precedent to convict a man -- >> no, no, no, no. i'm not talking about convicting. i'm talking about the sanctions according to the rules are $25,000. >> okay. so that's the rule. the rule says that if you do that, there's a $25,000 fine. there's another rule in the rulebook that says if you intentionally try and do something that interfere the with the integrity of the game, that the commissioner can have a further penalty which can be

draft choices, can be suspensions. there can be a whole lot of things that can take place. if they find that there is somewhere, somehow, someway, some employee, somebody did something nefarious, they find a smoking gun, which after now five days and 40 people that they've spoken to, obviously they haven't, otherwise they would let us know the results of that. >> okay. the rules are very clear it's $25,000 of fine, but not limited to. look, tom -- after the footballs are checked by the league, we already talked about the fact they then go back to the brady superstar. his team doesn't need to do this. that would militate against the fact that there was some intentional act, would it not? >> he's won a couple of mvps and a super bowl, he's going to his sixth super bowl, most of any quarterback in the history of the game. if he wins, he'll be tied with

joe montana for the most victories in history of the super bowl as a quarterback. look, the score was 45-7. 5- 45-7. lagarrette blount ran for 148 yards. he could have run with a pillow. they needed seven tanks and four cannons out to stop them and that wouldn't have helped. it didn't make a bit of difference. this did not affectoutcome of te games. the colts who have spoken out said the pressure of the football is not the reason they lost the game. they lost because they lost to a better team who played with more intensity and was just much, much better. this is so far beyond the pale. i mean, if, if someone has done something wrong and if the rules have been broken, they should be punished and the organization should be punished. >> and they will be. >> but to say that this affected the outcome of the game, judge, just didn't happen. >> all right. so, jim, you're saying i should buy the chicken wings and get ready for sunday, right? >> absolutely. >> all right. jim gray, thanks so much. >> let's hope that we don't have

another week of all of this, but if something else comes out, i'm sure we'll be back talking about it. >> always good to talk to you, jim. thank you. >> thank you, judge. all right. up next, my open on american sniper chris kyle and the backlash over the blockbuster movie. and vote in tonight's insta poll. are tom brady and belichick being truthful about deflategate? tweet me @judgejeanine. how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain.

to get out, to escape and now ok you are outside and you are safe but what do you do now and that's where the red cross came in... . we ran out of the house just wearing our pajamas. at that point just to even have a toothbrush that i could call my own was so important... . ...you know it just makes you feel like a person again. every 8 minutes the american red cross responds to a home fire or other emergency. you can help. please donate now.

and now for my opening statement. some things are irrefutable. war is war. a rose is just a rose. and chris kyle is a true american hero. and i for one am sick and tired of people who aren't worthy of

carrying his backpack taking cheap shots at him and other heroes who go to war, many returning with fewer limbs, to do what has to be done to protect the rest of us. yesterday, i was in dallas, texas, and i was struck by this white flag, mostly because white flags usually conote surrender. on this flag underneath the lone star and the cannon, the words "come and take it" a symbol of true texan defiance. it was 1835. a small group of texans, real men with a clear mission, willing to die for the freedom of others. and fast forward more than 175 years, another texan with similar dna in his veins, this one a sniper, chris kyle. and on his arm, a crusader cross tattooed in red because he wanted everyone to know that he was a christian.

yet leftist michael moore who wouldn't last one day in basic training yet alone navy s.e.a.l. training says snipers are cowards and shoot people in the back and certainly not heroes. although he backed off a little bit, that's what he said. and that the movie "american sniper" has shattered january box office records is testament to the chord that is struck in the heart of america. not just americans in the heartland, but those in blue states and big cities as well. what was real about chris kyle was his focus on god, country, and family. his unquestioning patriotism and determination. four tours in iraq. yes, he wrote that he regretted not having killed more of the savages who were plotting day in and day out to kill americans. he was a straight shooter who took no prisoners. he resented the political rules of engagement established by, as he put it, some congressman

sitting in a leather chair smoking a cigar in a d.c. air-conditioned office telling him when he could and couldn't shoot the enemy. there was no vacillation, no dithering, no hesitation, and no regret. he was the unapologetic warrior. that we should have leaders like chris kyle. this week, our leader gave his state of the union saying this about the war on terror. >> we are 15 years into this new century. 15 years. terror touching our shores. but tonight, we turn the page. >> yet take a look at this week's headlines. "should i believe my leader or my lying eyes?" and our commander in chief also talked about american strength and diplomacy.

>> we're demonstrating the power of american strength and diplomacy. >> you mean like this? like how virtually every world leader including ones that would bomb each other as soon as they were outside the paris city limits walking arm in arm in support of the paris terror victims? no, mr. president. it is people like chris kyle who demonstrate america's strength and, yes, diplomacy. diplomacy is not just passive. it's been clear that we support our allies and follow through on our threats. like those pesky red lines that are being crossed. that's diplomacy. chris kyle doubled down on what he did. he wasn't haunted by his kills, but instead haunted by his enemies' successes. and speaking of the enemy, the president says we've halted iran's nuclear program. >> our diplomacy is at work with respect to iran, where for the first time in a decade, we've

halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material. >> but even the top democrat on the senate foreign relations committee says that the president is yet again not telling the truth. but instead, he's taking his talking points straight out of the tehran playbook. chris kyle was as clear as to who the enemy was. they were the ones his government sent him to kill. and chris wasn't just good at his job. he was great at his job. a legend. the greatest sniper in american military history. chris kyle didn't start the war and he didn't end the war, but he volunteered to save american lives. and ironically, he died helping other servicemen suffering from ptsd. 22 veterans a day commit suicide, yet our commander in chief can't even run an agency honest enough to get veterans a doctor's appointment.

there were no flags flying at half mass in washington when chris kyle died, but there should have been. but i am graceful to michael moore for one thing. michael, you woke a sleeping giant. the american spirit. for far too long, suppressed by people like you. the hollywood elites and the politicians who lie to us on a regular basis. yes, chris kyle was an american hero who wore big boots. cowboy boots, michael. boots which neither you nor any of your hollywood friends could ever dream of filling. and that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook page or twitter @judgejeanine, #justiceopen. and later tonight, we'll talk with a former navy commander who's volunteering to take 100 lashes for an imprisoned saudi

the marine,s. they don't get the training we do. half those guys were civilians six months ago. >> let's coach them up. i'll show you how team guys do it. >> we can't do that. we need you on overmatch. >> if i'm on the street --

>> the deadliest job here, man. you got some sort of savior complexion? >> i want to get the bad guys. if i can't see them, i can't shoot them. >> they feel invincible with you up there. >> they're not. >> they are if they think they are. keep banging on the long gun. let these dogs sniff out their colleagues. >> my next two guests both navy s.e.a.l.s trained and worked with chris kyle. with me, former navy s.e.a.l.s, chris kyle's former instructor, and larry who served on s.e.a.l. team 3 are kyle. larry, i'm going to start with you. you served on s.e.a.l. team 3 with chris and you actually spoke with him a few weeks before he died. you know, how was he doing after the four tours? how was his family life? >> judge, he was doing really well. for any soldiers, especially soldiers that go through things that he went through, it takes a toll not only personally, but on the family life. and one of the hardest things for any soldier to do is

actually to stop going to war. chris was working through all that and being able to channel his energies into training the next generation of warriors through his company, the craft. and so he was doing really well, and being able to continue to support the country through that training. >> eric, i'll go to you. you were his sniper school instructor. now, the first time that he started shooting, did you know that you were actually instructing a future military, not just a hero, but a legend? >> no. you could definitely tell chris was good, obviously had experience on the gun before he got there, but i don't think any one of us thought of it as the creation of history. it's not usually our focus, either. you're there to learn how to take care of bad guys and that's our primary focus, just to get good at our job and don't think it would have occurred to anybody what events would lead to years later. >> he was clearly a good shot. >> well, yeah, he was -- i mean,

i joke about it sometimes when i see the papers i've written about, i'm just being a texan or a red neck. he was a quintessential texans who would go hunting growing up and you saw it in the movie where he hunted with his father. you could tell that he'd come to the team with a certain skill set that a lot of us have to develop within the team. so he was definitely a good shot. confident. good at everything. he's one of those guys that i think was there because he had to get the certification so that he can go perform the duty. i think we learned as much from him as he did from us. and especially in the later years we definitely learned a ton from him. >> larry, you say something very interesting that chris shared a sense of failure for not continuing to fight. what do you mean by that, larry? >> i, myself, was injured and medically retired, and chris and i were speaking after his fourth deployment and i was sharing with him my sense of failure in

that i wasn't able to continue to fight, and here's the world's most effective sniper, at least the u.s.' most effective sniper. he's done more than any other s.e.a.l. has done, and he said to me that what was troubling him more was the fact that he was no longer able to fight, and that he was -- and he said it, a coward, because he'd chose to stop fighting. and to me, that gave me the sense that i could feel okay with not continuing to fight, and to me, if there's any message that we could share with the rest of the veterans out there, those feelings of leaving your fellow comrades behind, look to chris, and chris felt those same feelings and he continued on, and we can feel good with our accomplishments as well. >> you know, gentlemen, the box office success, i mean, of this movie, "american sniper," does it -- does it instill in you a sense of not just a pride, but

maybe america does understand through something as simple as chris kyle's life, his book, his movie, the important work that you do? >> yeah. i think it definitely is a testament to the fact that people are starting to recognize, well, you know, war is a terrible thing, but the people who are in it, the men and women who are there fighting every single day, like, they're not the ones to be pulled aside and villainized. like, they're the ones, they're the heroes. they're the ones we have to continuously watch and support. think the movie did a great swrjob of that and i think the american public as testament to the success of the movie is starting to -- they've always been on board and supported our troops really well, but they're digging in more as they learn more about guys like chris kyle and other men and women who fought and sacrificed. >> right. right. they see the personal life. when i was reading the book, i found it interesting, he says, despite what your mama told you, violence does solve problems. larry, your reaction to that? does it sound like classic

chris? >> not only is it classic chris, but it's a very good lesson. the other thing that i think is really important that the american population is getting to see is that we got to live our dreams being out on the battlefield fighting our nation's enemies. but it's our families' nightmares. while we were out there risking our lives, they were worried we were going to be killed and the movie showed a good portrayal of the sacrifices of the family left behind. and being able to appreciate that and recognize those families is just as important. >> eric davis, larry yatch, thanks so much for being here. thank you for wrr serviyour ser thanks to your families as you so well know. thank you. >> thank you, judge. up next, some call today's iowa freedom summit the first step to the winning gop presidential nomination. we'll break down the highlights and the lowlights from today's speakers. tipated? .yea

live from america's news headquarters, the u.s. suspending drone strikes and other counterterrorism operations against al qaeda in yemen. this amid fears the arab world's country is on the brink of civil war. the cuts come after a rebel takeover of yemen u.s. -backed government. a blow to president obama's policy after he called the terror fight in yemen a, quote, success story. u.s. health officials urging everyone to get vaccinated for measles as an outbreak of the highly contagious but preventable illness continues to spread. the number of cases climbing to 78. the outbreak originated at disneyland in california. 90% of the infections are in the golden state but have been confirmed cases in six other western states and mexico. i'm jackie ibanez. now back to "justice with judge jeanine."

the iowa freedom summit took place today and at least nine potential gop presidential candidates took the stage. take a look at some of today's highlights. >> if you say you opposed obamacare, show me where you stood up and fought against it. [ applause ] if you say you opposed the president's unconstitutional executive amnesty, show me where you stood up and fought. [ applause ] if you say you support life and you support marriage, show me where you stood up and fought. >> lower taxes on employers, on individuals, on property. our property taxes are lower

today in wisconsin than they were four years ago. how many governors can say that? [ applause ] we're going to keep lowering taxes because we understand it's the people's money, not the government's money. that's the difference -- [ applause ] that's the difference between the wisconsin way and the washington way. in washington, they keep trying to find ways to take more of your money. in wisconsin, we want to find wayses to get more of the money back to the people who earned it. >> we need to do better. we need to do better because america deserves better. they deserve a group, a party, a movement, that is for policies that provide opportunity for everyone to reach that american dream and a message that unifies us. >> anybody who gets a good

education can write their own ticket. it doesn't matter what their ethnicity is or what their background is. and we have to start emphasizing that concept, again, the can-do attitu attitude. >> so you can't have romney. he choked. you can't have bush. [ applause ] the last thing we need is another bush. >> these leftists, they're promoting these "ready for" campaigns. they say. ready for hillary. well, these hopey changey astroturfy d.c. businesses disguised as grassroots are nothing new, but don't you wonder what the white house thinks of their peeps out there prancing around squealing that

they're ready for someone else? [ laughter ] they have to admit it, even, because they know that he who was the one now with time on the mind, he is so over it. america, he's just not that into you. [ laughter ] >> i'm here today to say that it's not good enough for conservatives to be just an opposition force. we got to offer a vision for the future. we have this tremendous opportunity to put forward this pro-growth agenda that returns jobs from overseas, increases wages, and lallows the middle class families to once again climb the ladder of success after a lost decade of economic decline. the time has come. the time has come to usher in a new era of prosperity, of reform, and revival.

we can begin by unleashing the american arsenal of energy. step one -- step one for congress, authorize the building of the keystone pipeline. and this president needs to sign it into law. >> the next sensory does not have to be a chinese century. it can be an american century. we do not need to have a country that stands idly by in the face of russian aggression. we do not need to have a country that stands and watches as middle class wages go down and our country's quality of life goes down. we do not need to have a country that looks at an entire class of children and says, you can't learn and we can't teach you, and it's not our problem. the pursuit of happiness is a goal that we need to work every day to attain. the world can't do without a

second american century, and neither can my children or yours do without america being a strong, resolute leader. >> when he said "the greatest threat this nation face faces,"i waited, and then he said, "is climate change." not to diminish anything about the climate at all, but mr. president, i believe that most of us would think that a beheading is a far greater threat to an american than a sunburn. i wish he understood that we have a real enemy with islamic jihadism. >> if we want to avoid war, the best way to do it is to make the enemy afraid to start one. and the best way -- [ applause ] -- is to remember nobody wants to pick a fight if they think you're going to knock them on their butt.

>> liberal radio show host coco joins me now. good evening. what is your take on today's speeches? >> i -- judge, thank you for having me. i think they're frightening. i don't know what kind of world they're predicting they want to have, but it looks like they want to take us way back to the '80s. the 1780s before we had a really strong federal government and rules around business and progress, and i found that all very confusing because there was very little factual that i heard, but i heard a whole lot of ripping down the country. the greatest country in the world. >> coco, let me ask you a question. do you really think the greatest threat out there is climate change? wasn't he talking about going into outer space? i mean, i always thought he was on mars. climate change? we thought people looking -- >> yes, climate change. yeah. you know, there's nobody coming to behead us. >> really? what happened to the woman in oklahoma? >> there's nobody coming to the

united states, there's no terrorists. >> how about the ones who took down the world trade center? >> were they interested in killing us or was that -- >> that was a real threat, and it's because the president and the vice president weren't watching the terror risks and weren't watching the terrorist networks like they should have been. this president -- >> you must be talking about bill clinton, yes, coco? >> well, no, because under clinton, he shook the trees and made sure that he found all of the major terrorists -- >> he had a chance to kill bin laden, and he didn't. >> he didn't -- >> bush had many more chances and bush was warned about 9/11 and he ignored all those warnings. you know that's true. >> i tell you what -- >> i'm not afraid of terrorists. >> coco, let me ask you a question. >> okay. >> not attending, rubio, jeb bush, ron paul, mitt romney. i think that that is very telling of what i don't know. i'm interested in your take. but, you know, in listening to

those, to the sounds, donald trump got this huge response when he said, "we can't have romney, he choked, and we can't have bush. the last thing we need is another bush." the audience went crazy. what's your interpretation of that? >> well, i think people everywhere are rightly scared about another bush coming into office. but i don't think we have to worry about that because jeb bush is making the argument, making the case that he's not a bush. just like mitt romney is making the argument that he's not mitt romney, the guy that we just saw run for president. >> yeah, who's barack obama? i still haven't figured him out either. you know, politicians have a lot of different -- >> i saw barack obama's state of the union address. you know what he is? he's a president. that's what he is. >> really? >> he's presidential. yeah. >> if he's so presidential, why wasn't he marching with 40 world leaders in paris? world leaders who would kill each other walking hand in hand in paris? what's that about? isn't he against radical islam? or, oh, i forgot --

>> photo op. >> look, that was a terrific and lovely photo op, and france and a lot of the leaders who were marching in that photo op don't have the graeatest record in terms of human rights. i don't have a problem with him not going. >> we're talks about terrorists coming in and killing people. let's go to run thing. rob lowe, coco, had a lot of trouble with the fact that a woman who ate cereal out of the box, allowed that youtube interview of the president, gets to meet the president, but the prime minister of israel does not. there she is. i mean, do you believe that woman in the bathtub with the cereal was chosen by the president to interview him? >> yeah. he's the president of all of the people of the united states. and all of the people of the united states might have embarrassing pictures out there. and he met with her and he doesn't have to meet with the prime minister of israel. you know why? >> why? >> because he doesn't work. because he doesn't work for the prime minister of israel.

he works for the american people. >> would you say israel is our ally? one of the strongest allies in the middle east? >> listen, i love israel. i'm a jewish-american. we are the best friend to israel. >> okay. >> that doesn't mean that the president has to go -- has to call, has to come when the prime minister calls. >> so what about the last time the prime minister came and susan rice walked out of the u.n.? what about the last time the prime minister netanyahu came and the president wouldn't meet with him? you know what? it seems to me at some point if he can't stand up with our ally in the middle east, and he's embarrassed because boehner invited him, i think it's a sad state of affairs. but hey, you know, maybe he likes cereal. what do i know? coco soodak, always good to have you on. >> thank you, judge, good to talk to you. and a saudi blogger insults islam and is sentenced to a brutal 1,000 lashes and 10 years in prison. i talk to a former navy commander who made the incredible offer to take 100 of those lashes, himself. he's on next.

hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal. a saudi arabian blogger is sentenced to ten years in prison and 1,000 lashes. his crime, insulting islam. my next guest offered to receive 100 of those lashes for raif badawi because he believes so deeply in the cause of religious liberty. founder of american islamic forum for democracy and former

lieutenant commander in the united states navy, zuhdi jaffer joins me now. good evening, zuhdi. he already received the first 50 lashes. you offered to take 100 lashes for him. why? >> because, judge, i am raif, as the hash tag says that's being spread all over the world. those of us who believe in religious freedom in america that benefit from this and can say what we please, if you go to my website, the american islamic forum, it's no different than what he tried to do as a sunni muslim in saudi arabia but gets labeled as somebody who hates his faith and is a apostate. professor robbery george, glenden, former ambassador to the holy sea and others did this. >> 1,000 lashes and 10 years in prison, zuhdi?

>> and the lashes, judge, they're done every week in a public square in front of a mosque, and they're spread over that time because he can't -- he would die if they did the full 1,000 lashes. you know, our president recently said as the king died mercifully in his bed and yet real, real honest heroes like haif badawi die add the end of sticks and at the end of hammers and they're beheaded, et cetera, this is a real hero. and the -- if the king was truly courageous, he would say, okay, let's whip an american citizen because he says the same thing. but he won't do that because he wants arms from america, he's supposedly our ally. and they're radicalizing all of us. >> not the politics right now of all of this. what i want to know is, has this been done before when someone was actually substituted to take part of a sentence of someone who's being lash in saudi arabia? >> well, i don't think it's been done in those countries, but i

do think it should be done. i think if they really have the courage of believing that they're doing what's best for islam ratherrathers than fuelin isis of 9 /11, ft. hood, and paris, they would substitute me. gender apartheid in saudi arabia is killing the muslim community across the world. let them substitute me. let them substitute -- >> you would have to go over there. odds are there's a fatwah on you. do you think you'd make it out alive? >> we sent the letter to the ambassador in washington, we'll present ourselves to the saudi embassy in washington. >> you're not going over there. you offered to do it -- >> we'll do it in washington at their embassy. >> okay. all right. well then, should the united states, and i know you believe the answer to this is that they should be doing more for badawi, but his wife and children are now in canada.

will they ever see him again? >> i don't think so. you know, this -- >> you think he's going to die? >> his attorney, his attorney has been sentenced to 15 years. why? because he was probably sentenc for 15 years for seeking the truth. there is no justice in saudi arabia. it's a mafia that runs not only saudi arabia but the organization of islamic cooperation. when people say where are the moderate voices? they are in prison and beat at the end of sticks. >> well, you are quite courageous, yourself. thanks for being with us this evening. and it's your last chance to vote in the tonight. thanks for the ride around

norfolk! and i just wanted to say, geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there. geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years.

in last week's opening statement i discussed the obama administration's response to the worldwide terror threat. here's what you said. billy said we're not winning because we're not fighting. terry said we don't win when we close gitmo which allows known terrorists amongst us. terrorists released from gitmo are not accepted back because they are no longer trusted. sylvia, what study do you base this on? should i feel safer they are in a different country? and jen says i don't understand all this talk of impeaching the president. obama has not committed any impeachable offenses. and jan says why didn't the

president mention al qaeda in the state of the union? he didn't mention them because he defeated them and not to worry. jim says maybe if kerry joins hands with the terrorist, everything will be find, the kinder gentle foreign policy. greg says i stand behind president obama. the real problem is people like you who insist that killing more people is the way to win. news flash, i don't want to kill more people i want to kill the people who want to kill us. and now for the results of tonight's poll. we asked were tom brady and bill belichick truthful about deflategate? since when is the fact they can win without cheating a reason to not cheat? think nixon, watergate. both brady and belichick seemed

uncomfortable when answering the media's questions. a professional quarterback can tell if a ball is inflated probably. and if the officials on the field did not notice a problem then there is known. if they did and did not call it, the official is with the officials and not the team. what about the ball boys who get the ball after it's inspected. and darrell says -- darrell says -- karen, i doubt it. they just got caught. and jane says as honest as obama was, if you want your doctor you can keep your doctor, period. and shelby says we have bigger problems than a stupid football. you make a great point. we do. but a lot of us need an escape and football provides it and a lot of snacks. and terry says i doubt it. nfl needs to have one set of

footballs each game not each team having their own. it sounds good. remember to friend me on facebook and follow me on twitter @judgejeanine. see you next week. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.
