fire in iraq. that's coming up but first president obama spent his time at the national prayer breakfast today lecturing christians. watch this. >> you see isil, a brutal vicious death cult that in the name of religion carries out unspeakable acts of barbarism, terrorizing religious minorities like -- claiming religious authority for such actions unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place remember that during the crusades and the inquisition people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. in our home country slavery and jim crow all too often was justified in the name of christ. it is not unique to one group or one religion. there is a tendency in us a

sinful tendency that can pervert and distort our faith. >> talk about high horse, this from a man who refuses to use the term radical islam. here now with reaction nationally syndicated radio talk show host i call him the great one, mark levin is with us. talk about terrible deeds in the name of christ, he can't even say the islamic state is isis. would he ever say the terrible deeds committed in the name of mohamed, did you ever hear those words coming out of his mouth? >> no we won't. this man is anihilist and narcissist and extremist. and i would like to suggest, mr. obama, here's a suggestion for you as the leader of the united states. this weekend rather than going off and campaigning or going on vacation, why don't you go across the potomac river into arlington national cemetery.

why don't you walk the rows and rows and rows of the dead heroes who liberated peoples who were facing genocide and tyranny of all kinds, world war i, world war ii korean war vietnam war and all kinds of wars. those young men, if you look at those headstones, the overwhelming majority all religions religions, but the overwhelming majority, mr. obama, are christians. why didn't you speak to them today, mr. obama? and ironically you brought up slavery in the united states. and what's ironic about it sean, is if abraham lincoln took the position of barack obama, it would have been something like this. lincoln saying we've had slavery on every continent in every country since the beginning of mankind. the egyptians enslaved the jews, the romans enslaved the christians. slavery is almost a human natural act, is it not? and lincoln would say following

obama's argument don't get on your high horse. this is not an existential threat. obama said the other day the genocide in the middle east. and lincoln might say, why in the world would i send hundreds and thousands of men to their death to end slavery? this what obama is saying and doing is the lowest of the low now. he really is not a leader of a great people. he's not a leader of a great nation. he is stuck in his own ideology. he's stubborn and ignorant at the same time. there are black christians and black muslims in africa who are being slaughtered. they don't want to hear about the jim crow laws. there are christians, other muslims being slaughtered in the middle east, they don't need a lecture from obama about christianity. the fact of the matter is obama is not doing anything effective or substantive to stop genocide in our time.

>> why would the president build this strawman argument though and go back a thousand years, 700 years 500 years? why would he do that? and yet to this day does not recognize the reality. for example, this week we saw how the jordanian king responded when a jordanian pilot was burned to death. he ended up killing terrorists they had in prison and then he bombed the living daylights out of them. when we have the beheading of james foley, within three minutes after a quick statement the president was on the golf course for five hours. how do you compare and contrast the two different responses? >> because he's not the man of compassion and empathy that he claims to be. obama has a very high tolerance for misery. not his own, but for everybody else's. and he's turning the world inside-out. he's not only fundamentally transforming america, but by his actions and inactions he's fundamentally transforming the world. and what we now have is tyranny

on the rise genocide on the rise, our allies are looking over their shoulders. they do not trust us to back them up. and they are right. at the same time the enemy is on the rise. we are gunning our military and our borders are open. it's exactly what i said we're dealing with nihilism, narcissism and extremism. and that equals obama. >> all right. so the president's mistheory reluctance of resistance to even mention radical islamist, radical islam the islamic state is not islamic, he says. he keeps saying 99.9% of muslims are good people. i'm looking at muslim countries like afghanistan and iraq and saudi arabia and the sudan and pakistan. and we see oppression of women and human rights there. so somehow there's a disconnect. i don't think he'd ever talk about the terrible deeds done in the name of mohamed. so what is this world view that he's using that he sees here?

>> look, i'm not a psychiatrist or a psychologist. i don't even think the best of them could figure him out completely. but listen to how ludicrous this argument is. the nazis were german, every german in the world wasn't a nazi. we had american-germans who fought against hitler. but we still call them german nazis. this is a hangup obama has. the problem is if he were in a typical left wing ivy league classroom as an adjunct professor, that would be one thing. the problem is he's commander in chief and implementing this thoughtlessness or not implementing anything at all. the whole world -- the free world is praying to god we can get through the next two years and get through this. one other thing obama's speech today sent two messages. one to our enemies that this is

not a serious man, they are gut laughing. and one to all those people who are suffering whose families are being slaughtered that they cannot count on the president of the united states for help. >> all right. let me show you two maps savannah guthrie during the super bowl interviewed the president and talked about how his strategy is not working. the president vehemently denied it, but there you can see on the map the increase in isis-controlled territories and the battle for both big cities and small and the control that they've taken. look at radical islam in january 2015 and its worldwide influence now, all around the world. the president denied that advancement as well. if america doesn't lead are we going to count on the jordanians? are we going to count on middle eastern countries to take up this battle, this fight? don't we need america to be fully engaged to actually win this war against modern fascism in our time? >> there's no question about it.

and the fact of the matter is for all of his talk that he thinks is in defense of muslims this president because of the way he left iraq this vice president has started to get a status of forces agreement they have in my humble opinion lots and lots of blood on their hands. many, many muslims, christians and others have died as a result of their actions. he can give as many speeches and issue as many bumper stickers as he wants. and here's the other point we are going to get hit if we do not hit this enemy where this enemy is. we are going to get h >> thank you the great one, mark levin, thank you for being on the program. jesse ventura's outrageous comments. we're going to play them for you on "hannity." but first tonight. >> two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire, including the one i was in. >> no kidding? >> rpg and ak-47. >> that never happened. nbc's brian williams caught in a

boldface lie. and disturbing new report from the director of the fbi, open cases of possible isis-linked threats right here in 49 of the 50 states. that as "hannity" continues straight ahead.

captain obvious: i probably wouldn't stay here tonight. man: thanks, captain obvious. captain obvious: i'd get a deal for tonight with deals for tonight from hotels.com. and you might want to get that pipe fixed.

welcome back to "hannity." for years nbc's trusted news anchor brian williams telling a story of what happened to him back in 2003. for example, this is what he told letterman in 2013. >> we were in some helicopters. what we didn't know was we were north of the invasion. we were the northern most invasion in iraq. two of our helicopters were hit

by ground fire including what i was in. >> no kidding? what altitude? >> we were doing 115 naughts and we were put down and we were stuck. four birds in the middle of the desert. and we were north out ahead of the other americans. we got hit, we sat down everyone was okay. our captain took a purple heart injury to his ear in the cockpit, but we were alone. they started distributing weapons. >> brian williams also doubled down on this claim while playing tribute to iraq veteran during last friday's broadcast of the show. watch this. >> the story started with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. our traveling nbc news team was rescued, surrounded and kept alived by an armored mechanized platoon from the u.s. army third infantry. >> crew members actually on that helicopter that took rpg fire saw the report and called williams out. now, here's what flight engineer

lance reynolds posted on facebook. he said, sorry, dude i don't remember you being on my aircraft. i do remember you walking up about an hour after we had landed and asked me what happened. last night brian williams responded with this. >> 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 sandstorm in the iraq desert. this was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension our brave military men and women, veterans everywhere, those who have served while i did not. i hope they know they have my greatest respect and also now my apology. >> now, williams also told the military website stars and stripes that he misremembered the events. joining me now president of the media research center fox news military analyst lieutenant

colonel bill cowen with us. he says he bungled an attempt to honor this guy, brent. but he said the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. after being hit. and then he said letterman asked if he thought he was going to die, yeah, he thought he was going to die. >> yeah. it just doesn't pass the smell test, sean. if he bungled it, he also bungled it on the letterman show two years ago. how is that misremembered? how do you misremember hit by a rocket propelled grenade? you either were or you weren't. so the fact he goes out and says after reporting in 2003 he reported this on "nbc nightly news" with tom brokaw. he mentioned none of this whatsoever. why lie now? he's now apologizing. he clearly lied. it wasn't bungled. it wasn't misremembered. he lied. >> what do you think, colonel?

>> outrageous lie, sean. i've still got shrapnel in my arm from an rpg. if you get hit in a helicopter especially by something on the ground, you know what's going on. to make this lame apology to the men and women who really served, thousands have been shot at by rpgs, many wounded, many died, absolutely outrageous. no excuse for it whatsoever, sean. >> so the idea he misremembered or bungled what he was trying to say, i mean he was very definitive by saying the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. that's pretty definitive. sounds like he misstated what happened and he got called out on it. let me take you back. brent, you know this. hillary made a claim about coming under fire in bosnia. nbc covered it. andrea mitchell, she covered it. she made a report on the bosnia

controversy and hillary saying she took fire. and here's how nbc reported that. >> we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. >> those of us on the trip know that didn't happen. instead, she was welcomed by children. clinton told newspaper editors yesterday she was tired. >> that's what i said when i was sleep deprived. you can read my book. something very different. i misspoke. >> reporter: but she tells the story over and over. >> they said there might be sniper fire. >> sleep deprived, misspoke. also, let's go back to nbc. here's what chuck todd said in criticizing her for her lie. >> the credibility issue, truth telling, is this a problem for senator clinton? >> well, it's been the nagging thing throughout this campaign. when you ask that question of honest and trustworthy, she is always consistently scored lower than obama. i for the life of me haven't understood why they have pushed this story. they didn't need to retell this story. because if they had not, they

wouldn't have gotten this pinocchio thing in "the washington post." >> they call out hillary clinton for lying, brent. they're colleagues of brian williams. do you expect the same thing in this case? >> oh yeah. i remember brian williams calling out mark mcguire and blasting him for lying the baseball player. so they have a curious standard here. they will call out people, but now they need to be called out because they're involved with it. i remember, sean, you and i talked about hillary clinton when it happened. i think we broke it on your show. this is what happened on the left -- it was some people on the left, not everyone. but i think there's almost a disdain for the military. they're used as props for liberals. brian williams used our military as a prop to get attention. it's that bad. >> how would the military feel about people that do this sort of thing colonel? >> well, we all despise people like that. brent's right. i think it really shows how much brian williams doesn't respect

the military and the sacrifice our men and women have made and continue to make. i think everybody in the military's outraged by this. look, i understand now somebody's coming forth and saying we did take small arms fire from the ground. i'm sure in those days every helicopter early days of the war -- >> that's very different than saying got hit by an rpg. >> big time, sean. totally different. nowhere close. nowhere close at all. >> now the question is, look i never call for people's firing. that's up to nbc. that's up to the viewers that watch brian williams. i'm not getting involved in that. you know, i would try to thread the needle here and give him benefit of the doubt. i don't see that he's still telling the truth yet. but what do you think should happen, brent bozell? >> well, i think it's a bigger question than brian williams. there seems to be a culture of dishonesty at nbc and msnbc. they're having to apologize once a week. this comes on the heels of that middle eastern correspondent of

nbc saying that chris kyle was a racist on a killing spree. that was just two weeks ago. so just seems like every week there's another scandal involving some major person at nbc. should he be fired? i think the honorable thing is for him to resign. >> what do you think, colonel? >> well, that'd be great if he would resign. i don't expect he's going to. but, sean, besides just the military aspect it's a disservice to all legitimate combat journalists out there, many of whom have died, four of whom beheaded within the last few months. those are people out there really taking fire, really under fire. they're the ones that deserve some kind of credit. not somebody that wants to stand up and lie about what he's done when he didn't really do it. >> thank you both for being with us. appreciate it. we'll see what happens. we'll be watching. koling up next, we're going to amman, jordan. jordan strikes back against isis. shepard smith is on the ground in amman. he has the very latest. and a disturbing new statement from the fbi director about americans looking to join isis

and the threat they pose to 49 of the 50 states. and later tonight charles krauthammer will give us his take on obama's lecture to christians and much, much more. straight ahead. ♪ ♪ just look at those two. happy. in love.

attacks against isis after the 26-year-old pilot was burned alive in a cage. and today jordan launched new air strikes against isis targets. joining us now reporting on the ground in amman jordan, is our own shepard smith. shep, a swift and quick and forceful reaction. >> it was all of that sean no doubt. the kingdom had said they would and they did. the pentagon gave us details today saying the jordanians used at least 20 of their aircraft. a much larger number than usual they say to strike targets in the northeast of syria. the foreign minister told me earlier on our afternoon program that they had struck in both syria and iraq. the pentagon informs us now that he was misinformed. at any rate they're said to have struck strategic targets including a convoy of isis fighters, in addition ammunition dump of some sort said to have taken out a specific leader. though the pentagon has not done battle damage assessment yet but will have more details later.

long and short of it is the jordanians were involved and in a big way with great support from the united states. american jets flying alongside them. awax planes above offering cover. in addition refueling planes that the united states helped with along the way. and the king has said they need the united states support. they want to be in the fight. i asked the foreign minister today about ground support and he said that in fact there was no talk of that now. just that there isn't from the united states. we talked about the video of their hero pilot being burned alive. and i asked him how they figured out so quickly that he had died so much earlier. >> we have our suspicions. we have our analysts. but when the tape the brutal death was confirmed. but the analysis indicated it wasn't done hours before, it was done weeks before. >> we saw the video and within hours jordan confirmed it happened on january 3rd. jordan knew prior to the airing of the video that the pilot had died in that way?

>> no. again, we had our suspicions, we had our analysts but we had countermessages as well. and we have to follow those leads. >> and the side bar from our own catherine herridge is it's possible they had some sort of satellite reconnaissance or had some human intelligence on the ground believed strongly as it's been suggested, that their pilot had died a month earlier but couldn't be sure until the video came out. that said the dominos fell quickly thereafter. there was the execution of the two prisoners from isis, former al qaeda which jordan had in its hands that were executed the next morning and now the air strikes carried out with the united states help. it's a community effort to hear the foreign minister and whole region needs to get involved. >> shep, we know king abdullah met in the white house before flying back to jordan. i would have little doubt he asked for intelligence help munitions help of some kind. it is interesting that the washington times reported today and picked up by congressman duncan hunter that apparently they'd already requested

predator drones not armed ones, and it had been denied by the administration. are you getting any word from any of your contacts in jordan about the need for assistance be it intelligence or ammunition or supplies? >> we did ask the information ministry about that. and i asked the foreign minister himself questions along those lines. he said they are thrilled to have the hundreds of millions of dollars which have been pledged for help with the refugee crisis and beyond, that they appreciate america's help as they have for so long and the billion dollars which has been pledged. as far as specifics, what do you need that you're not getting? i couldn't get specifics on that. and the sort of thing that you have just mentioned has happened, it's not public knowledge. and it hasn't been told to us on the side. the meeting with the president and with others was described as cordial and they stressed how excellent our relationship is and how much the jordanians appreciate the partnership with the united states. exactly what you would expect to hear in times like these.

>> all right. shep smith reporting from amman, jordan. early in the morning there, shep, thanks for being with us. appreciate it. going back to the story we just told you about the fbi director saying there are open cases in every state in the united states except alaska possible isis-linked threats right here in america. and here's more from director comey. >> we are focused keenly on who would be looking to travel to join this band of murderers who will have come back from iraq and syria to the united states and who if they're not going to travel might be inspired to engage in acts of violence because of some sixth sense that meaning can be found there in partnership with these isil establishments. so that is a mission we are found in all 56 of our field offices. we have open cases all over the place focused on this threat. and so it is not -- a washington thing, it's something we focused

on. mississippi is a great state, but like all troubled souls might find meaning, the challenge in law enforcement is they may be getting exposed to that poison and training in their basement. so they're not going to a physical state where they're meeting terrorists or communicating overseas in a way that we can intercept. they're sitting there consuming and may emerge in their basement to kill people of any sort. which is the call of isil. just kill somebody. >> joining me now retired u.s. navy s.e.a.l. former fbi agent jonathan gillem with us. open cases in 49 of the 50 states. i interpret what the fbi director saying here to mean this, it's a matter of when not if. that they're here and we're going to get hit and there's more coming back from the battlefield. >> i think you're absolutely right. really it's a matter of when an attack will happen. they are here. i think what needs to be differentiated though is if there were actual known sleeper cells, we would be acting on those. that is an immediate response that has to be taken.

and, you know the director's absolutely right when he said that, you know law enforcement is not going to be able to police everything. because the way they recruit, there's always going to be troubled souls. >> it seems to me, jonathan, that one area where we're really falling down on the job is every time there's some incident we can go to that person's facebook page twitter account and there were signs evidence indications something was coming. seems like we're not doing a good enough job of monitoring social media to determine who might be a threat. >> well, i think again you're hitting the nail on the head here. even though it's troubling that the director is saying these truths, what's more troubling to me is the fact they know this. and you still have mayors like here in new york where they take the nypd surveillance away when they make political correctness an importance where you can't use words like islamic radicalism or fundamental mohamedism in the government. they're taking a step backwards

in the wrong direction. and, sean, we have to look at this like a tree that's growing a tree when it grows in your front yard. when it gets to full size there's roots everywhere. and when it falls, it's going -- there's going to be roots everywhere all over this country. >> two big problems on the other side of this, immigration problem, borders are still wide open. anybody that wants to get in can get in to the united states. we know the answer to protect our borders. what do we do about the mosques and places of worship where we knowin indoctrination is going on? >> that's the problem and also the place where the biggest solutions and change can come. i've had people write me through e-mails contacting my company wanting to have some kind of way to reach out to law enforcement. if it's true, if there's imams and mosques out there that want to develop a relationship with the police department, i'm telling you that is the biggest effect that we can have on isis or radical islam in the united states is if they themselves develop this relationship and

start policing themselves. >> jonathan gillam, thank you so much for being here. coming up tonight we get reaction from the one and only charles krauthammer. he'll talk about brian williams big lie. and later bill bennett is here. he's going to weigh in now a number of presidential hopefuls have all admitted to smoking marijuana. what does that mean? does that impact their chances for 2016? that and more on this busy news night here on "hannity." no super-slow-motion footage of trucks splashing through the mud. no cowboy hats, horses or hay bales. just a ram 3500 that head to head can out-tow ford's f-350 by more than one and a half tons. get more facts at ramtrucks.com.

prayer breakfast? >> i was stunned that the president could say something once banal and offensive. and here we are from an act shocking barbarism, the burning alive of a prisoner of war, and obama's message is that we should remember the crusades and the inquisition. i mean, for him to say that all of us -- all religions have been -- it was adolescent stuff. everyone knows that. important is what's happening now, christianity no longer goes on crusades. it gave up the inquisition a while ago. the book of joshua is knee deep in blood. that story is over too. the story of today, of our generation, is the fact that the overwhelming volume of the violence and the barbarism that we are seeing in the world from nigeria to paris all the way to

pakistan and even to the philippines, the island of mindenau in the philippines is coming from one source. and that's from inside islam. it is not the prevalent idea of islam. but it is coming from islam. as many islamic leaders including the president of egypt and many others have admitted. and there needs to be a change in islam. it is not a coincidence that all of these attacks on other religions are happening. all over the world in a dozen countries, two dozen countries all in the name of one religion. it's not a coincidence. and for the president to be lecturing us and to say we shouldn't get on our high horse and to not remember our own path is ridiculous. the present issue is muslim radicalism and how to attack it. >> i actually think -- >> a lot of people are dying. >> i think it's not only ridiculous, but it's dangerous that he can't identify this

enemy. a quick example, the jordanian reaction to the killing of the mass murder -- the murder of this jordanian pilot burned to death and then bulldozed you know, compare the president's reaction to james foley and his beheading a quick, you know, three-minute comment. three minutes later he's on the golf course for five hours. and no strong statement or reaction from the president. >> from obama's first speech at west point in december 2009 ironically announcing the surge in afghanistan you could tell that his heart has never been in this fight. never. he's the commander in chief and yet he announces one sentence after he talks about the surge he talks about the day to withdraw. everyone in the region knows that. everyone in the middle east knows that he took on the fight on isis only because of the public reaction to the video of

the beheading of the two americans. he never would have lifted a finger otherwise. he hasn't helped the rebels in syria. he has not given the weapons that jordan needs. the kurds who are actually able courageous and well and committed to the fight against isis still cannot get direct arms from the united states. >> yeah. >> the world knows this. our enemies know it and our friends know it. >> so not only west point but the first summer being president when he goes to a foreign country apologizing at foreign capitals for america for sins real and even imagined. let me transition and ask you, we work in the media business. you've been following the story of brian williams of nbc news. >> yeah. >> to me it's bewildering. i've met him. seemed like a nice guy. why would somebody risk their

credibility in a totally fabricated story that got bigger and bigger and bigger every time he told it? >> look this is a big mistake on his part. i don't like to pile on. i mean all of us have embellished. once you start to embellish you're trapped in it and can't escape. let's remember hillary made the story about being shot at in bosnia bosnia. >> i know. >> and she is the high line -- of course you expect a politician to lie and not a broadcaster. so i can understand the difference. but what stuns me is how dumb this is. if you're going to make up a story, do it when there aren't other people around. you know you tell a story -- >> if you're going to tell a lie, don't have witnesses, is that what you're saying? >> you tell a story about wrestling a lion to the ground because generally speaking lions don't have access to the internet. but you don't do it about an event that everybody saw. >> that's a good point. >> you know in the end you're

going to be unmasked about. >> last question. the phenomenon of "american sniper," i've interviewed chris kyle's wife, brother, his father, they're amazing people. he was an amazing man. more confirmed kills than anybody else in military history. but yet people still pile on. the latest person is jesse ventura on our mutual friend alan colmes radio show. here's what he said. >> he was obviously a great sniper. he's obviously a great shot. he obviously did his job correctly. alan, let me fire this one at you. do you think the nazis have heroes? >> what is it about people that just have total contempt and lack of understanding for what it is that we are given as a gift from those brave men and women that the american people obviously responded to at the box office. >> i think it's fairly simple. i think the whole fight over the meaning and popularity of the

movie is a surrogate for re-arguing the war in iraq. what worries the left is that they thought they won the argument. and here's a movie amazingly popular that actually acknowledges the courage and heroism and sacrifice of those who fought in iraq. and i think that is sort of unpalatable. remember hollywood put out half a dozen anti-war anti-iraq we are the bad guy movies. and nobody went to see any of them. and here is one movie which celebrates a courageous soldier and it is extremely popular. and actually rather artistically done. well-done by clint eastwood. and the left has to now relitigate the war because they thought they had won the argument. and they want to make sure that they retain that at least ideological victory. >> charles krauthammer, always good to see you. thank you so much for being with
