staff preferably office personnel with the weapon locked up in the office. >> thanks to all who responded. we appreciate it. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it is thursday february 5. i'm intek. -- i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert, president obama won't call islamist extremists what they are but the king of jordan vows to crush isis. he says he will personally take part in bombing raids. >> he's the boss. will the white house support jordan's efforts to take down isis? >> i asked the president yesterday say we're here, we support jordan, we're a key member of the coalition. you can't say whether or not you support the execution? >> the white house's

head-scratching response as we look like. >> this atheist making six figures a year on a popular bible app. what you need to know before you download perhaps. i talked to everyone i know, mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends." >> welcome aboard folks, live from new york city where it is today the warmest day we've had in about a week. almost 40 degrees. >> little by go to below zero. >> no, it's going up today. >> no, it's actually going down. >> give me a little melt, as long as there's some melt. >> this way we can stop hydroplaning to work. let's talk about jordan for a second. their king was here 24 hours ago and that's where we got the news of the january 3 killing of the

jordanian pilot. now we know jordan is going to take action. according to some reports unconfirmed from iraqi media, jordan is in the midst of airstrikes. >> iraqi media are saying they are killing 65 including perhaps a top isis commander. >> there are western reports that there have been strikes by jordan in retaliation for the death of that man right there. that's the jordanian pilot. according to the military, jordan military, they have killed 55 isis militants, including that top commander that elisabeth was talking about. what's burning up the internet this morning is when king abdullah was here in washington, d.c., he said we are going to have retribution like isis hasn't seen before, and now there are circulating on the internet that picture for instance, of the king of jordan wearing those black gloves looking tough. then there's another one

where he took part in -- these are both file photos -- where he took part in a promotional fly-by last october. there are suggestions that he actually, because he's a trained pilot, may have taken part in the raids. that has not been supported by western media yet. iraqi media said it's true. we're just looking for confirmation. >> his statements are so strong in the face of that horrific burning of his own. he said that they will vow to pursue isis until the military runs out of fuel and bullets. duncan hunter out of california said he's done two tours of iraq and one in afghanistan. he said he quoted clint eastwood in the past and quoted part of the movie. a note from him on their support to end isis's complete, devastating and horrific action. >> he knows our western society and has done studying here as did his

dad. let's talk about what the president has done. remember after the paris bombing the president watched football instead of showing up. he blamed it on a staffing error. now we have a shot now of king abdullah to his left to have another key ally at our side as we try to take on isis which i thought was our mission about eight months ago but we have not capitalized on paris emotion and their dirges. seemingly we don't want to capitalize on jordan's emotion and determination to eradicate isis once and for all. ed henry thought he'd take that questioning to josh earnest. >> how could the president yesterday say we're here, we support jordan they're a key member of the coalition. they make this decision overnight and you can't say whether or not you support the execution? >> it is possible for us to continue to support and stand with the people of jordan at this very difficult time. clearly their nation in the same way that we are is shocked and appalled at this terrible act of

violence captured on video by isil and released to the world. the united states stands with our friends in jordan as they confront this awful barbaric act. but as it relates to decisions that are carried out by the jordanianan justice system, i refer you to them. i don't have the working knowledge of the jordanian justice system to render an opinion on this. >> there he is responding to the question. yesterday at this time we told you about how jordan was steamed that they killed that guy. as it turns out, they killed him about a month earlier. so they executed these two isis people that they had in custody. that's quick. today we're learning that the president and the king himself may have taken part in airstrikes. that's the kind of leader you want, somebody who backs up his words with action. steven hayes had this observation. >> the white house seems to

me, quite literally, we're standing by when all of this happens. we're not going to see any change in strategy, we're not going to see new arms to jordan which the jordanians have requested. as you saw in the briefing today, we're not even going to offer rhetorical support for the execution of isis terrorists that the jordanian jans carried out. >> they need military hardware quickly. they might need f-16's quickly. we say it's on its way. we still haven't made a decision a year and a half later. the secretary of state is still staring them down offering more blankets. i'm wondering why the president can't take one of our best allies in the middle east east who has been attacked by the same enemy who hates us and say here's what you need. you have the money to pay pore it; right? yes, we do. tell me what you theed. here's the requisition form. fill it out before you take off and it will be there. >> that might be too strong. remember it is just a group with a bankrupt ideology,

soft term for an ideology that we need to start naming specifically. >> here's the weird thing. it was reported last night we're sending more military assets over to iraq. why didn't the president say that? the president could make a profound statement. we're arming jordan. we see they have a need. we're sending more people over to iraq. we're sending this to iraq. we are really doubling down. >> look at the words the president uses. he wants to be as far away from conflict as he possibly can. unfortunately he's the commander in chief and you want somebody to sound tough. if you want tough, you've got to go to jordan because their king is tough. >> he's about an exit strategy. >> in the meantime, a lot going on this morning. we have heather childers. i look over my shoulder and i see your smile. >> we have a lot of other stories today. we have this. a lot of people wanting to know what was she doing on the tracks. a mother of three now identified as the driver whose s.u.v. was plowed by

a train killing her and five passengers. 49-year-old ellen brody was on her way to visit a friend after getting off work. she drove across the tracks when the gates hit the back of her car. she got out to look and then she got back in the car and she drove forward despite another driver telling her to back up. >> she looked a little confused, gets back in the car and pulls forward, and she was probably 15 feet from the tracks. the front of the car was right at the track line but when she pulled forward she pulled right in front of the train. >> that train was traveling 58 miles per hour, under the speed limit. it slammed into her s.u.v. her gas tank exploded igniting her car and the train. 400 feet of the electrified third rail apparently ripped from the ground piercing the floor of the first train car. look right here, this passenger, he was one of the passengers sitting up

front and as flames filled the train he managed to open an emergency exit with his burned hands so everyone could escape. frantic audio from the cockpit of this, that plane that came crashing out of the sky yesterday. [inaudible] >> the pilot warning of a flameout in the left engine before banking a hard left, clipping a bridge and slamming into the water. dramatic video. at least 32 people died. another 11 still missing. search crews saying the murky water is hampering their efforts. amazingly, 15 people made it out alive and new video shows the incredible moment that a toddler is pulled from the wreckage. with the plane's black box sound hopefully officials will get a better understanding of what went wrong. in a few hours jury selection starts for the man accused of killing chris kyle. 27-year-old marine veteran eddie rain is charged with

shooting him at a gun range in texas. his attorney says he will plead not guilty. they previously asked the judge to delay the trial and move it to another location due to the popularity of the movie "american sniper" but both requests were denied. brian williams finding himself at the center of a scandal this morning after claiming for years that he was on a helicopter that was shot down by enemy fire during the iraq invasion. the nbc anchor admits that story is not true. now that iraq war veterans are publicly contradicting his account williams officially came clean last night. >> i want to apologize. i said i was traveling in an aircraft hit by h.p.g. fire. i was instead in a following aircraft. we all landed after the ground fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sand storl in -- sand

stornl in sandstorm in the iraq desert. >> military saying that is still a giant lie. one veteran is saying b. williams said he was in a follow on aircraft and spent two harrowing nights in the desert but the actual pilot of the aircraft that was hit says he remembers williams asking him what happened and taking off in another unit's bird and going back to kuwait. so the controversy continues flt those are a look at your headlines. >> that's embarrassing. i think he said he didn't misspeak. he misremembered. >> big difference there? >> apparently so. that's embarrassing. >> remember i landed under sniper fire, hillary clinton. who do we find out the truth from? >> sin bad the comic. >> we always go to him >> it is 11 minutes after the top of the hour.

♪ by 1914 the dodge brothers quit the ford motor company and set out on their own. they believed in more, than the assembly line.

they believed driving was a holy endeavor. a hundred years later, the dodge brothers spirit lives on. president obama's response to isis and avoiding the words radical islam garnered a lot of criticism on the war on terror. our next guest says this strategy needs to change and spoke with the president yesterday at the white house as well as king abdullah. congressman ryan zinke served as commander in the navy seal. congressman, you had a meeting with the president.

was it a former meeting? did you guys get into issues? >> he was courteous and kind to invite the freshmen congressmen to the white house. i enjoyed the visit. the president mish mcconnell was there of the senate and nancy pelosi. >> they didn't take advantage of your background to ask your opinion of what would have been the next step? >> i don't think this administration is asking anyone's opinion. >> true. you did meet with king abdullah. king abdullah, a very determined man whose country has been devastated by the burning alive of their pilot. what was your impression? >> it's not the first time i met the king. i think he's a great leader for his country and certainly has great concern for his people. he does ask for help. and it's ironic that jordan is now leading the fight against isis. and there's a lot that we can do as a country particularly this administration. provide ammunition fuel missiles. and i agree with the king that this is primarily a war with an islam itself.

it is a 1,400-plus war that's going on for years. but the u.s. needs to show leadership and resolve. everyone is looking at this administration for leadership. and it is going to take unfortunately, troops on the ground. and those troops in the form of providing logistics, medical supplies food ammunition, special forces to direct our air power and, most of all, commitment because right now our allies don't trust us and our enemies don't fear us. >> if you want an cheam you can look at the -- if you want an example look at the u.a.e. they stopped both in december. they aren't happy with our leadership possibly. i don't know who is heading our coalition. i don't see video of an airstrike. >> the coalition needs to include obviously the kurds, sunni tribes. we need to empower them. and we need to separate radical islam from mainstream. that has to be core.

again, it's important that islamic countries rally together and solve this problem because it is a battle within islam itself. but certainly the u.s., a great country, a powerful country, has also great responsibility. >> i just feel bad for the military who might have to go back in and refight a war they won two years ago. congressman ryan, thank you. thanks so much. >> great to be here. >> 19 minutes after the hour. it's one of the most popular bible apps for smart phones but what if we were told it's run by an atheist. how would that make you feel? and he's making a boatload off of it. the holy hypocrisy ahead. >> controversy surrounding michael brown's death. did police fake bullets? you want to hear more? well, you're going to.

strategy at this time? >> i believe i understand our strategy at this time, mr. chairman. >> what do you understand the strategy to be? >> i think the strategy connects ends and means and our ends with respect to isil needs to be its lasting defeat. >> doesn't sound like a strategy to me. >> the defense secretary is also ultimately responsible for the comings and goings at the detention facility gitmo used to house terrorists. today the under secretary in charge of policy and strategy for gitmo will come before congress. he could face extremely uncomfortable and tough questions over the taliban five. they were traded last year by the administration for sergeant bowe bergdahl. last month we learned that one of the five was calling his old buddies back in afghanistan about getting back in the fight. the latest statistics show roughly one-third of those released from gitmo try to

return to their old ways. the white house is pushing to get below that number of 100 detainees. many on capitol hill will argue today that more releases are putting more terrorists back on the battle field. >> the closer they get to zero, the easier the rationale is to close that place. >> he did say he's going to stand up not going to be a rubber stamp and understand the problems with the secretary of defense in the past. you've got underlings in the white house making decisions. he says he's not going to be the next one. the only thing he has, he has a little bit leverage because the president doesn't want a fifth secretary. >> coming up the private records of millions of health insurance customers all in the hands of hackers this morning from your name to your social

and he joins us now. the last time we declared war was in 1941. >> it was right after pearl harbor. >> what about iraq and vietnam and korea? >> it was not as a result of lawful decorations of war by the congress. a resolution here, behavior by the president gradual escalation authority to use military force in 2001, none of those was a traditional declaration of war which identifies a government or country and sets forth the end game as well on this government and this country surrenders, it's over. there has been in the natural response to the horrific barbarty that we saw this week, which the young man was immolated, a call for the united states government declaring war on isis. what would that entail? the congress would decide

who the target is and when the war would be over and the president would have the various tools to wainl the war. but you can't just declare war on anybody and you can't declare war on somebody because they're hateful and they did hateful things. the law the statutes congress has written and the treaties to which we are parties set forth the circumstances under which you can go to war. >> let's go through them. first of all, a country or entity attacks the united states in one of 50 states. >> what that means is if somebody attacked us like we were attacked on 9/11, one of the 50 states was attacked. that's important. we're not talking about real estate the united states occupies in germany. that wouldn't be a basis for war. certainly an attack in, fill in the blank anywhere in the 50 states. >> they attack or the second is they're about to attack. >> they told us they're going to attack. they're right there, ready to go, we have the right to declare war on them. >> or if one of our allies is attacked. >> right. not if our ally attacks

somebody else and then needs help. and the fourth is if we are parties to a treaty that obligates us to declare war. guess what? with respect to jordan, with respect to isis, none -- none -- of those four situations pertain. >> here's the thing. the president of the united states, because he is commander in chief he has wide latitude. there is a pentagon slush fund he can tap money from and he's got a lot of authority if he chooses. >> right. he has legal authority. the question is does he have the will. he could wire hundreds of millions of dollars this afternoon to king abdullah. the king's issue is not money. the king's issue is hardware. can the president get him hardware? yes, the president has authority to open up the spigots and say to manufacturers, get that stuff over there in 48 hours. forget the rules. i'm suspending the rules because the friend needs that stuff right away. >> why doesn't he do it?

good morning. today is thursday february 5. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert, the people of jordan rallied behind their king spreading pictures of him suited up for war. and he vows to kill isis terrorists with or without help from the united states. >> right now our allies tonight trust us and our enemies don't fear us. >> that congressman just met with both president obama and king abdullah. he takes us inside those meetings. frantic audio from the cockpit of that plane in taiwan that came crashing out of the sky. new development from the crash site and the incredible moment a child was saved from the wreckage. >> look at that. meanwhile, whoever said parents don't know how to have a good

time? >> hi there. >> hi. >> what's your favorite subject? >> poetry. >> really? maybe you can help me straighten out my long fellow. >> who picked that clip? >> that's great. >> take pills. >> that rodney dangerfield. >> this morning the science is in. who partied harder in college you or rodney daingerfield or your children? >> we have an answer coming up. live from new york this is "fox & friends." >> hey, it's maria menunos and you're watching "fox & friends." it's very entertaining. >> that rodney daingerfield movie "back to school," it's 90 minutes of all the clips they could have picked from. that's the one our producer selected. >> you can't tell the name.

>> i mean brian williams. shortly after his aircraft was hit. >> right. >> we'll probably have a different clip later in the tease. i'm not sure you'll see that again. >> down down on that. >> the promotion is who partied harder, you or your kids? we've got an answer to that coming up. in the meantime, we've got a fox news alert. reports that jordan's king following through on his vow to crush isis with new air strikes in iraq. >> conner powell is live in jordan. what is the very latest there? >> reporter: good morning. across all jordan there is tough talk coming from both the military and the government and the media both in the english and in the arab press. you're seeing harsh response to the killing of the pilot. the government promising an earth shaking response to balloting isis. today earlier just a few minutes ago, king of jordan went down to his family's home in the

southern part of the country to pay his respects and condolences to his family and his family comes from a very important powerful tribe in the southern part of the country. they have called for revenge. the jordanian government, including king abdullah said they are going to battle isis. the bigger question is what will they actually do? jordan is already part of the air campaign and more importantly intelligence campaign against isis. there is some talk about ground troops or some teach ground invasion into iraq and syria about jordan pushing through at that. it's very unlikely they would do that alone. they don't really have the military capabilities, nor would they be willing to do that without the united states or europe or more importantly, other arab countries. right now it isn't clear what type of broader response they will have. they will continue from what we're told, with this military strikes. we're not hearing anything about

a ground invasion. that type of talk has even before the death and after his death, has been controversial here. you're finding no one talking about ground troops or a larger engagement. the tough talk is tough talk for now, with the exception of air strikes. whether or not that changes, that's what we'll be looking for over the next 24 or 48 hours. >> conner powell with the very latest. we're not positive about the numbers, but we do know there was some tough talk when king abdullah of jordan was here in the united states. he met with congressman. it was shortly after the jordanian pilot was set afire and killed and the king quoted clint eastwood from the movie "unforgiven" and said quote, i'm not only going to kill him, i'm going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down." now there is news that the king o is also a trained pilot, the jordanian media is reporting there was a possibility the king

himself could have taken part in some of these air strikes. the photos that are out there, including this one are file photos. but he is a pilot and what a statement that would make. >> it's so important. when you go into a campaign, we've seen it before with our president and others, to read people. you have to be a symbol and motivate just like the small team in your local town, as well as a huge country like ours. what he's doing is showing leadership and it's a dangerous situation. he's got a population that is sympathetic toward isis. he's got 1800 people that went over there at minimum to go fight against jordan and everybody else there. so he's got to make sure that his country, which has almost no natural resources, they're one of the few countries with any oil, stays together and unites against a common enemy. isis has made that possible with the horrific killing that we witnessed there. >> they've made it very clear look, you come get us, we will burn you alive. that was the message from isis. and yet, he is stepping up with strong leadership and clarity. so what is our president doing? a lot of people here in the united states are asking in that

meeting with king abdullah, the congressman and warrior former navy seal team six commander had words about what happened there and what he hopes will happen in the future. watch. >> the u.s. needs to show leadership and results. everyone is looking at this administration for leadership and it is going to take unfortunately, troops on the ground. those troops in the form of providing logistics, medical supplies food ammunition, special forces to direct our air power and most of all, commitment because right now, our allies don't trust us and our enemies don't fear us. >> when josh earnest was asked what are you going to do to help out jordan because they requested it, he had no answer of the he should have been told before he got on stage. this is what you say we're rallying to the side of our allies. instead no word yet from the white house. >> one thing about what isis has

been doing is they've been distributing this stuff on social media. so they put out the beheadings and the images of this fellow who was burned alive and then crushed with a concrete on social media. so this morning now you think about it, the king himself has turned the tables on isis. he's projecting this image that is out there on social media of here is a guy who is going to kick their butts and we don't know if he took part or not. but we just know that the people of jordan this morning according to the reports over there, are rallying behind the king because he, unlike the american president, is taking a tough stance. >> specific strength. >> just look at that picture. >> we invented social media. madison avenue is two blocks away. the whole world comes here. >> barak obama got elected by social media. >> genius, creative people, and we will blow them away with messages instead of that rinky dunk job they put out a couple days ago. >> we want our president to show

such strength, let us know. >> we got heather with some headlines at eight minutes after the top of the hour. >> we have an update on the plane crash that -- train crash from new york. a fox news alert. what was she doing on the tracks? the mother of three now identified as the driver whose suv plowed by a train, killing her and five passengers in new york. a 49-year-old ellen brody, she drove across the tracks when the 2008 hit the bask her car. she got out to look around and then she got back in and she drove forward. that was despite another driver telling her to back up. >> she looked a little confused gets back in the car and pulls forward and she was probably 15 feet from the tracks. the front of the car was right at the track line. but when she pulled forward, she pulled right in front of the train. >> the train traveling 58 miles per hour slammed into her suv. her gas tank then exploded,

igniting both her car and the train. 400 feet of the electrified third rail ripped from the ground piercing the floor of the first car. there were some heros. patrick is one. he was a passenger sitting up front and as flames filled the train, he somehow managed to open the emergency exit with his burned hand. that was so everyone could escape. frantic audio from the cockpit of that plane that came crashing out of the sky yesterday. >> may day may day. >> the pilot warning of a flameout in the left engine before banking hard left clipping a bridge. you saw as it happened, slamming into the water. at least 32 people died. another 11 missing. search crews saying the murky water is hampering their efforts of the amazingly, 15 people actually made it out alive. look at this new video. it shows the incredible moment that a toddler is pulled from the wreckage. with the plane's block box found, officials will get a better understanding hopefully

of exactly what went wrong. hello, hillary two of president obama's top aides calling it quits. communications director jennifer paul mary stepping down this spring. sources say that she will be working for hillary clinton on her expected 2016 presidential campaign. also leaving senior advisor dan pheiffer. he has been with the president since his first white house run. he has not yet announced his future plans. finally, brian williams, the most watched evening news anchor in america and he's finding himself at the center of a scandal this morning. after claiming for years that he was on a helicopter that was shot down by enemy fire during the iraq invasion, the nbc anchor admitting that that story is not true and now that iraq war veterans are publicly contradicting his account, williams officially, sort of, came clean last night. >> i want to apologize. i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg

fire. i was instead in a following aircraft. we all landed after the ground fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sand storm in the iraq desert. >> members of the military are now saying that apology is still a giant lie. look at this. one vet on twitter saying quote, okay, just said that he was on a follow on aircraft and spent two harrowing nights in the desert. but the actual pilot of the aircraft that was hit says he remembers williams asking him what happened? and then taking off in another unit's birds and going back to kuwait. so the controversy continues. >> i guess he told the story on letterman once. >> it's in his official biography. so if you hear brian williams saying that he was in the battle of the bulge, he's talking about a diet he was on. >> which we're all battling. >> you have to have a perfect

memory. >> or not make something up. president obama taking heat for his assessment of the islamic extremist who killed that jordanian pilot. >> ideology they're operating off of it's bankrupt. >> our next guest says don't call them bankrupt. they're richer than ever. and earlier this week we introduced you to the great american who walks more than 20 miles to work each day because he can't afford a car. today there is an update to that story that will warm your heart. >> excellent. ♪ ♪

fox news alert. our handling isis. this morning many americans are questioning our president's response to the islamic extremists who burned the jordanian pilot alive in that cage. >> whatever ideology they're operating off of, it's bankrupt. >> whatever ideology they're operating off of. one of the president's critics from the american islamic forum for democracy joins us this morning from phoenix. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so the president said whatever ideology they're operating from is bankrupt. we know what ideology it is.

it's radical islam, isn't it? >> absolutely. it's really the radical version of that which is slammism or wahabism. as global ideologies go, it's one of the most wealthy ideologies because of the petro dollars, saudi building for decades. from a human asset perspective they're recruitment tools. jordan itself finds itself losing a lot of citizens that go to fight with isis. so as far as assets go and a business and industry, isis is growing. morally, as far as the islam i know yes, it's corrupt it's evil. it's savagery. choosing the term of bankrupt it's the narrative that oh, they're going to disappear tomorrow. this problem is growing. >> sure. we know that the president will not say islamic extremism.

it's radioactive from his lexicon. he refuses to say the words together. >> every year they release their counterterrorism reports, they say the word ideology 40, 50 times, but won't say what it is. why? because for to us get to the next step of defeating it, of putting islamism, not only the islamic state, but all islamic states theocratic movements into the dust of history, we have to identify it. and muslims like myself to have a seat at the table. otherwise we don't have a seat at the table. >> sure. the world looks to the united states 'cause we're the only still standing super power. in this fight right now it looks like king abdullah who this week really declared war on isis, he's appearing in these images where he's suited up for battle. they're file photos, but there are suggestions that because he is a trained pilot, he may be taking part in these raids that are going on right now. >> well, these kingdoms realize

that in order to stay alive and not let this radical islamist monster continue to bite them in the rear and decimate them, they have to operate them and put them in defense, but decimate them and this king realizes that and their military response is going to be powerful and strong as it has been. the saudis did the same thing against al-qaeda after 9-11. the long-term solution is about liberty and freedom. i don't think these autocrats will use these terms and that's why we need the west to provide not only the military strength to continue to put them in fear action but the ideological solution. >> against political islam. >> exactly. we thank you very much. by the way, i should point out we understand that so far the king has not taken part in any of the raids, but he may going forward. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. it's a dance party that you paid

raised online for a car for james robertson. you may remember seeing him this week on "fox & friends." he walks over 20 miles a day from work and from work and does not have to do that anymore. >> really, it's been such a whirlwind ride since this whole thing came out. i can't say how grateful i'm feeling since the money has been raised. >> that's his buddy that helped drive him to work a few times. more than 11,000 people donated. 35%. that's the amount of high schoolers in 1987, a report partying six or more hours a week. compare that to their kids' generation. ucla study shows only 9% of teens now partying that hard. kids today say they're too bogged down with school work and college applications. good job, next generation. we salute you. let's have a beer. >> thanks, brian. there are now more than 100 cases of measles in 14 states across the united states and mexico. the outbreak renewing the debate whether the federal government

should mandate vaccinations without exceptions. our guest is a emergency room nurse and joins us with more on the story and some of this week's top medical headlines. we're thankful you're here. >> thanks for having me. >> you see these things come right to you. you know how serious this can be injuries, et cetera. when you hear about this measles outbreak, what is your perspective? should we be vaccinating our kids? >> yes. certainly 100% parents need to be vaccinating your children. the risks of the vaccine about one in a million children have a serious reaction. however, one in 1,000 children could die if they get the measles. so the risk of vaccination here are far, far less than a risk getting the actual disease. so you really want to be sure to vaccinate your children vaccinate them on time so they aren't exposed at school. we see big pockets of children going unvaccinated. this is a problem we really need to address. >> when you say big pocket you're not exaggerating. california where it started 75%

of kids not vaccinated in some schools. this is a tough one. then you have where it's all kind of coming from where parents are getting their information. a new study from washington state university that says internet comments can be as persuasive as the cdc when it comes to vaccines. people are going online and hearing some bloggers' opinion about don't vaccinate your kids, and then they're listening to it just as much as they would listen to the c d.c what do you think? >> we saw this in 1998 when the study on autism came out. everyone was -- they weren't looking at the data. it's important to get hard scientific facts. talk to your health care provider about getting vaccines rather than looking online and getting that misguided information that we commonly see. there are no studies that really link vaccines and autism. they're not related whatsoever according to science. unfortunately, parents are really getting misguided information when it comes to the internet on this. >> you're saying they're hearing the fear, but not getting the facts. >> exactly. >> good note. what about this?

there is a study showing hospitals are a bad place to suffer a heart attack. erin, you're there as a nurse practitioner, what's going on? >> yes. so this study shows that unfortunately, the death rate is three times that for people who are admitted into the hospital. they suffer a heart attack while there, rather than coming in through the emergency department. this is because just like you at home might have a fire drill or at work you have a fire drill we have sort of heart attack drills in the emergency department. so we know exactly the steps to take. there are times for when we have patients coming in. but we're not doing this for patients already in the hospital, taking us twice as long to get them that life saving treatment they need. we really need to get those protocols in place not only for the emergency room but also for the inside of the hospital as well, that hospital floor. >> do you see this will maybe trigger that reaction and get those protocols in place? >> certainly. awareness is always the first step of the problem. there is a group of 12 hospitals that are working on this issue. they're educating nurses. they're look at the procedures and policies we need to get in

place to help treat these patients a little bit better. we need to be getting them ekg's more quickly. a lot of times we're seeing this happens to women who might have atypical symptoms. we need education, better policies. >> we are glad you're here with the real information. >> thanks for having me. coming up, homeland security threatening to cut off funds to sheriffs around the country if congress doesn't pass the president's immigration policies. one sheriff is firing back. his message to the white house next. and let this photo be a lesson to you if you don't put down your phone once in a while. you could miss something really big. we're not kidding. ♪ ♪

good morning. today is thursday, february 5. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. the people of jordan rallying behind their king, spreading pictures of him suited up for war. this morning he's vowing to destroy isis terrorists with or without the help of the united states. we are live in jordan with the latest. that's great. meanwhile, so where does our leader stand? >> how can the president yesterday say we're here, we support jordan. they're a key member of the coalition. they make this decision overnight and you can't say whether or not you support the ex accusation? >> the head scratching response from mr. earnest from the white house coming up. >> holy hypocrisy. up with of the most popular bible apps for smart phones. but what if we told you it was run by an atheist and he's making boat loads of cash off of it? think about that for a second

while i tell you our slogan, which is mornings are better with friends. >> it's larry gatlin and you're watching "fox & friends" and if you ain't, why not? >> that was getting a lot of coverage yesterday. that was the other one. >> larry gatlin wrote a song. >> a sitting member of congress took a hot at the state of texas saying the people there -- it's a crazy state. larry gatlin o is from texas came on to respond with a very very funny song. >> that's right. to music. >> larry gatlin never fails to -- he never disappoints. >> never travels without his guitar. >> he had a lot of people talking about that song yesterday and today. now we want to get to this for you. a fox news alert. reports now that jordan's king is calling to crush isis. >> conner powell is live in jordan. we've seen these pictures of the king suited up. are those file photos or is the king actually leading the charge

with these air strikes? >> reporter: these are file photos. king abdullah of jordan is a certified pilot and he has a long history with jordan's military. at one point he was the honorary commander of the special operations detail. but according to the ministry of information here, he has not and is not participating on any air strikes against isis in iraq or syria. this is pictures and video and reports we're getting that are more about the response that jordan is going to take in terms of fighting isis as opposed to what king abdullah himself is going to too. the military and the government, including the king, are talking about a very harsh, very strong and powerful response against isis. there are no reports credible reports that he's part of these attacks, these air strikes himself. the government is saying no, he is not. but there is a lot of talk about what jordan will do going forward. there is this talk of a harsh response. what that actually means, it's very unclear. jordan has an excellent intelligence gathering

capability that they've long worked with the united states and others to develop that intelligence capabilities and the u.s. really does rely on jordan a great deal. there is every expectation that jordan will continue to work with the u.s. on intelligence matters and take part in air strikes. just not the king. the bigger question is will there be a ground operation that will include jordanian troops? i can tell that you unless there is a u.s. ground operation against isis, there will probably be no jordanian ground operation. also there has to be a wider area of ground operation with countries from saudi arabia and kuwait and the uae. right now we're not hearing any reports of those countries want to go commit ground troops to fighting isis. this for the foreseeable future will be an intelligence gathering and an air military campaign against isis. not a ground operation. back to you. >> all right. conner powell live in jordan with the very latest where they are the people of jordan are rallying around the king. >> the kurds are on the ground. so we know they're fighting for

their lives and their own property. they've gotten 1% of the land back that they got kobani. >> yesterday the uae is out until they get a better rescue vehicle to get out of there in case a plane happens to go down. >> they think it's too risky. you just saw the pictures of jordan's king abdullah suited up, ready for action. they've gone viral after he vowed to hammer isis until he runs out of bullets and runs out of fuel. so what's our president doing to help the king? kevin cork is live at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. this is one of the frustrations when you're outside of washington, you see other leaders, other nation states making strong declarative decisions about what they need to do. but as white house officials like to tell me behind the scenes, what happens in terms of the diplomacy and the slow move you just don't see it and sometimes they can't even say it. as you know, the president met with king abdullah here at the oval office in the wake of that terrible tragedy that happened

with that pilot. obviously just slaughtered by the criminals and isis. i want you to listen very carefully to how josh earnest, the press secretary, tried to sort of answer a question from our ed henry about what on earth are they doing here at 1600 pennsylvania avenue? >> when you said i don't have a reaction to it, how could the president yesterday say we're here. we support jordan. they're a key member of the coalition. they make this decision overnight. and you can't say whether or not you support the execution? >> the united states stands with our friends in jordan as they confront this awful bar it is baric act. as it relates to decisions carried out by the jordanian justice system, i would refer you to them. i don't have the working knowledge of the jordanian justice system to render an opinion on this. >> again, so does the white house have a strong opinion about what's been done? do they back this up or feel like that's something that should be happening? you won't get a straight answer out of josh earnest.

it's a very delicate circumstance. i also want you to listen to what john sinunu told greta. >> it's been delayed. it's been timid and it's been ineffective. there is no leadership coming out of the white house. uae did what they did because they want to join with the u.s. that leads. not a u.s. that tries to follow from behind. >> he spent a lot of time in leadership at the nation's capitol, making the decision that what's happening here doesn't seem strong enough at least from public purview. as i pointed out earlier, they would argue a lot is happening behind the scenes. we simply don't see it. >> we hope so. >> thanks, kevin. >> we know jennifer griffin reported we were sending more assets over to iraq. james woods says this, if we capture an isis thug who burn a heroic pilot alive, let's pray we don't pour a cup of water on his face. that would be cruel. because 6,000 retweets on that.

>> so after the jordanian pilot video was released and it's horrific if you want to watch it -- >> it's on foxnews.com. >> people should see -- if you have the stomach for it -- see what we're up against. after that was released, and it was clear that isis had done it, the president of the united states said whatever ideology is involved is bankrupt. first of all, we know the ideology. it's islamic extremism. for him to say it's bankrupt it's not working, dr. jasser was with us earlier and says the president's got it all wrong. >> they say the word ideology 40, 50 times but they won't say what it is. why? because for us to get to the next step of defeating it, of putting islamism not only the islamic state but all islamic states into the dust pin of history, we have to identify it. we have to be careful. it's interesting for him to choose terms like bankrupt

because it's sort of the narrative that oh, it's not a problem. they're going to disappear tomorrow. this problem is growing. it's not going away. >> if you don't name it, you can't claim it. there is no clear identification verbally with words in terms of what we're battling here from the administration. so how can you fight an enemy that you haven't defined? are you in denial? >> and they're certainly not bankrupt. as they take territory, they're just gathering up all the money and have the petro dollars every day. every time we drive our cars somebody over there is making a fraction of it. >> they're selling it on the black market. most of it through turkey, unbelievable. when the price goes down t does actually help. by the way the jerusalem post reports that the islamic state, if you want to call it that is selling crucifying and burying children alive in iraq. so just when you think it can't get any horrific than what you just saw, something else is going on that horrific. >> they're crucifying children? >> yes n crucifying them. on actual cross. i saw the picture. >> but they're bankrupt and they're jv.

>> yeah, okay. >> the modern day nazis and they've got to be taking out and sadly we're the only ones to b do it. it's exactly nine minutes after the top of the hour. heather childers has got our headlines and we're taking a look at what we reported yesterday. >> we are. the question a lot of people are asking today and that is why did a mother of three stop her suv on the train tracks triggering a deadly disaster that killed her and five passengers in new york? a 49-year-old ellen brody was returning home from work when she drove through the railroad tracks, even though the gate came down and hit her car. she got out to look, according to witnesses and then she got back into her car and drove forward despite another driver telling her to back up. >> she looked a little confused. gets back in the car, and pulls forward. and she was probably 15 feet from the tracks. the front of the car was right at the track line.

but when she pulled forward, she pulled right in front of the train. >> the train was traveling at 58 miles per hour, slammed into her suv. her gas tank then exploded, igniting both her car and the train. 400 feet of the electrified third rail ripped from the ground piercing the floor of that first train car. here is a mirror row. he was one of the passengers sitting up front. as the flames filled the train, somehow he managed to open an emergency exit with his burned hands so he could help everyone escape. some frantic audio for you now from the cockpit of this. that plane that came crashing out of the sky yesterday. >> may day may day. >> the pilot warning of a flameout in the left engine before that happened, banking hard left clipping a bridge, slamming into the water. at least 32 people died. 11 others still missing. search crews saying the murky water is hampering their efforts and rescuing others. amazingly, 15 people did make it

snow and ice reeking havoc on america's roads this winter. take a look at this video. oh man. that's happening all over the place. before you and your car become victims, there is one safeguard you need to know about. fox news legal analyst, bob massi, joins us right now from las vegas with a way that can

save people a lot of money. bob, it all comes down to this: a lot of us have cars that we are driving that where there is a gap between the value of the car and the insurance value. and it's that gap that has created this industry called gap insurance. how does that work? >> guaranteed asset protection, what it stands for. it was designed specifically -- you know when you buy a car you take off the lot. god forbid if you're in an accident immediate will he and haven't made the first statement. how do you do the difference between what is owed and the value? gap insurance is designed specifically to cover that when you have a total loss of a car or, for example, the car is stolen and not recovered. so gap insurance was specifically designed to say look, if in fact you're in an accident whether it was your fault or not and that vehicle is totaled or the vehicle has been

stolen, that insurance kicks in. value of the car that pays the difference. >> some finance companies require it right? >> many times when you go buy a car, the finance companies in the division of the dealership will say hey, do you want gap insurance? it is not expensive. it is affordable. remember, steve, this is not liability coverage if it's your fault or things like that. and the premium is not that expensive. so it's an affordable insurance. but if you own your car outright, if you go pay cash you don't need gap insurance obviously. >> because you own it. so does it just cover the value of the vehicle or does it also include some liability like if somebody is injured in one of these accidents like we're looking at right here and say i'm going to sue for $25 million and nobody has that kind of insurance. >> i've done personal injury for over 30 years, along with real estate. this is not a liability coverage. let me say this, these are the things it will not cover:

obviously liability. repairs to the vehicle it doesn't cover. it doesn't cover the difference between the value of the car from when it was damaged because it wasn't totaled in repairs. and if you are sick or have disability, it doesn't make car payments. it is exactly as you defined it at the beginning. it's that gap, it's that window of difference in value that it will pay for. >> you don't buy it at the gap. you actually buy it at your car dealership or contact your insurance guy as well. >> yes, sir. >> bob massi, thank you very much. that's really great advice. by the way folks, if you have questions for bob, go to our web site and click on the little legalese logo and your question might wind up on tv. thank you very much for joining us today from vegas. coming up, sheriffs across the country threatened with cuts if congress doesn't fund the president's amnesty plan through the department of homeland security. that's not sitting well with one sheriff. he joins us live to fire back next. and ferguson missouri's

correct? >> absolutely. sheriffs are the front line or the last line in protecting our communities. it's come down to the point it's time for the president to work with congress. i believe the american people spoke. they're asking for a different direction. >> so here is the memo that went out. one of the many consequence of operating on a continuing resolution is our inability to fund new nondisaster grants to states locals and governments law enforcement emergencies and fire departments. so they're warning you that other things are going to be cut if the funding is not there. >> absolutely. they run down the list. to put that intimidation out and those tactics simply are not going to work. >> and you also say politically charged amendments won't be tolerated. so you put this on your facebook page. you said, mr. president, you don't have to love the congress we elected. but you do have to respect their role as established under the constitution and mr. johnson please show some integrity and stop with the threats.

sheriffs don't take kindly to them, especially you, i imagine sheriff. >> i think that's a fair statement. >> how is that digested? do you know? >> amongst all the sheriffs, we've become very frustrated with what we've seen in this push from washington to intimidate the dismantling ofnities, of the tools that we need and we're ready to draw the line in the sand and say no more. >> you already saw some negative effects from the executive action. correct? >> oh, absolutely. we're losing the ability to know which inmates in our jails are here illegally. they're moving to hide that information from local officials and i think the citizens should be very weary of those moves. >> you think before an executive action, you get all the sheriffs together and say this is what i'm thinking about. is it possible? but you're never consulted. just forced to adapt. thanks so much for talking with us today. >> thank you brian. coming up straight ahead with 33 minutes left to go, a

fox news alert. two years after the death down in texas of chris kyle, the trial of the man accused of murdering him is about to begin. will the popularity of the hit movie "american sniper" play a role? kdfw reporter where jury selection is getting underway. >> reporter: steve, this is the largest trial that this rural texas county has ever seen. 800 erath county residents were sent jury summons. today the process begins to narrow that field down to 12

jurors, plus two alternates. eddie ray routh is facing capital murder charges for the shooting deaths of chris kyle and chad littlefield. the fame of chris kyle has skyrocketed in recent weeks with the release of the hit movie "american sniper." kyle was the most lethal sniper in u.s. military history and when he left the service in 2009 he spent part of his civilian life helping other veterans and that's why he was at a shooting range two years ago with iraq war veteran eddie ray routh and chad littlefield. the attorney for eddie ray routh says his client was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. he says he will pursue an insanity defense. the trial expected to last for two weeks. opening statements are scheduled to begin on wednesday morning of next week. reporting live in stephenville

texas, this is dan godwin. >> thank you very much for the live report. elisabeth? >> he is the president's top pick to become the next secretary of defense. but things went south when john mccain asked ashson carter about isis. watch. >> what do you under the strategy to be? >> i think the strategy connects ends and means and our ends with respect to isil needs to be its lasting defeat. >> doesn't sound like a strategy to >> wow. so is any member of the of this administration prepared to address the isis crisis? congressman mike mccaul is the republican chairman. thanks for being with us here. >> good morning. >> after hearing ashton carter's remarks there, did that build any confidence that we're going to start to develop a real strategy here against isis? >> i don't think so. sounds like something from the state department rather than secretary of defense. that doesn't sound like a

strategy at all in a time when we need one because we don't have one. from what i can see, it's a policy of con containment and not a policy to degrade and defeat isis where they exist and that's been the weakness all along with this strategy. i think after the jordanian pilot, i don't know if you saw the video, but how many more wake-up calls do we need to know these are barbarians, butchers in the middle east? that was like a hollywood production movie with a live audience cheering and applauding. this needs to be stopped and now. the region is just ready now to stand up to some extent. turkey is an important ally as well. there is no strategy. that's the problem. as i look at it from homeland security, if the barbarians come to the gate, we don't want them coming to the gate of the united states. that concerns me greatly. >> if anyone saw that video, it's the most drastic assault on humankind. let me ask you this, it feels as though we're losing this war

because the president and the administration seem to be winning terror taboo. they won't name it or call radical islam where it exists. why? how can we fight and win a war against an enemy we can not define? >> i've been saying this for the last year this false narrative with workplace violence, video in florida and benghazi. it's a false narrative that he keeps continuing. he said whatever ideology they follow, he said about this event with the major takennian pilot. we know what the ideology is. it's radical islamic extremist. and we have to call it that. you have to define your enemy to defeat them. and we're not doing that right now. >> in terms of strategy once we name it, how do we go about in your mind with the strategy what would be your first step? >> we called out nazi germany. we called out communism. we need to call out radical islamist extremism and have a plan to defeat it long-term globally because it's a global threat. i think with respect to the

immediacy, it's isis and i think we need to -- we need a ground force. these air strikes are very limited. it's a policy of containment. we need to mobilize the entire region with not only strikes, but a ground force on the ground and not only in iraq but syria. i think secretary baker mentioned, i think turkey is an important nato ally and the gulf states have to stand up as well. >> some sources are suggesting that the administration could float authorization for use of military forces as early as this weekend. can you confirm that? will congress authorize that? >> i serve on the foreign affairs committee. indications i have is that that's going to be forth coming very soon. i think that's a good sign because i think congress needs to be involved in authorizing the parameters of this fight against isis. and destruction of isis. i don't think the administration has done enough. i think congress can send a strong message. we just want not just to contain

them, but destroy them. >> we thank you for your time this morning. >> thanks. now this coming up, we showed you the coast guard saving this puppy stranded in icy waters. but they were still looking to find the pup his home. the heros and the dog is here with us with a huge update next. first we're going to check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> reports that jordan's revenge has already begun. we will go live to shepherd smith in moments. the ceo at gallup with a stern warning about america's financial future. he is here live today. senator lindsey graham with a message on iran. we'll talk to him live. and what's apple cooking up now? have you seen this new car? martha and i will see you at the top of the hour.

a morning meeting for the frankford coast guard in michigan took an interesting turn when one member witnessed a dog take a dangerous plunge into the lake right outside their window. >> the men wasting no time, jumped into the icy lake after the pup fell in. the dramatic rescue caught on camera and posted. >> third class boatswain tim putnam and two others are the men in that video and they join us today with the dog they rescued. >> look at that tail wagging. >> you're getting well deserved kisses from bailey. >> the dog is attached to you for a great reason. he saw the video on our show yesterday. you guys -- how far did you go in the ice to get to this dog? how dangerous was that? >> tim? >> it was about 200 feet and it was right outside of our

station. i never at one point got cold. we have lots of protective equipment to keep us warm. it took me quite a bit of time to get through there. just glad to get back safely. >> yeah. i know, tim, you said that it was so exhausting and so cold getting out there, you couldn't have done that without jeremy, who is seated right next to you. jeremy, he was out of gas. so how important was it to get your guy back, along with the dog? >> it was very important. we work as a team. once he made connection with the dog, we pulled him back. i was there for back up in case he needed me. it took both of us to lift the dog up and put it on up to the shore party. >> it's an incredible thing that you all did. elijah, it's outstanding the rescue here and if anyone has a dog, would say thank you with all their heart. but some would say, wait a second, this is a dog. you risked your own life. you could have lost yours going in after an animal. what do you say to those

critics? >> those critics, it's a training mission for all of us and to me, a live is a life. we're there for a reason. your tax dollars pay for us to be ready to assist anyone in need. it made perfect sense to use that for an animal as walt. >> sure. and tim, you guys assessed the risk going in and you decided what? it's worth it, right? >> yeah. we all decided it was worth it. we always briefly as we're getting ready for a case, we kind of go over -- do we have more to gain verse the risk? we decided that this is something we could do and definitely just went for it. >> you did. >> and by the way, there is a thank you from the family. let's take a look at it right now. that is nice. >> they all signed it for getting their dog back. who seems very grateful to you. >> good penmanship. they're working on their handwriting. they must be so thankful and

clearly with this note, you can see how much they are. >> okay. bailey is down now and looks like bailey is about to take a nap. so we should probably end it there. tim and jeremy and elijah, we thank you all for joining us today from michigan. great work and thank you very much for joining us today on "fox & friends." >> incredible rescue. >> thanks for having us. >> we appreciate y'all. >> we appreciate you. thanks for your service. more "fox & friends." we say something substantial and insightful when we return. ♪ ♪
