arget should. >> maybe we will if they don't. >> we hope you have a great weekend. thanks so much for joining us. "fox & friends" starts now. bye. >> good morning. it is friday, february 6. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. jordan launching a new round of airstrikes, revenge for their murdered pilot. this as president obama compares radical islam to the christian crusades. >> unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusades and inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. >> what message does this send to the enemy? >> that we have a high horse? >> yes, i guess. >> a veteran turned senator lays a smackdown on the administration over gitmo. >> the only problem at guantanamo bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there right now. we should be sending more

terrorists there for further interrogation to keep this country safe. >> more from the freshman center who schools the administration in terrorism. >> and also fights wars. he's a veteran. he was bur shoplifting but then this cop let him go. >> it's not black and white for us. there's a lot of gray. and you have to cipher through everything and you really need to figure out the whole story. >> why he had a change of heart. it's friday and mornings remain better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> tgif thank goodness it's fox. and friday as well. we're live this morning from studio e. >> glad you're here and we're going to bring you a fox news alert off the top. we're looking live where jordanians are marching in sol dari with the --

solidarity with the family of their murdered pilot by isis. >> fighter jets launching airstrikes on isis targets in syria. >> president obama is expected to step up our assault finally against the militants and ask congress to authorize military force. leland vittert details us on that from our d.c. bureau. >> reporter: good morning. there is broad and bipartisan agreement that more needs to be done against isis, but the how, when and paying for it are still to be worked out on capitol hill. authorization for the current u.s. military action against isis goes back to the bush era and the post-9/11 congressional authorization for the use of force against terrorists. while president obama has long maintained he has the authority for various military operations right now, congressional stamp of approval could give him and his generals far more flexibility. some republicans are calling for ground troops.

some democrats talked about wanting clear deadlines and ways to pay for it. >> how can he not have asked congress to support him? it's exactly what a president would want is congressional approval the way that has been done in all the conflicts of the last quarter century. eventually he will but his reluctance is simply staggering. >> the jordanians haven't waited for authorization or anything like that. they have done things rather quickly in light of isis burning their pilot alive. the kingdom launched a wide scale attack against isis targets. 20 jordanian jets flew a mission which included heavy support for the united states. in a new twist to the p.r. war, jordan released a slickly produced video about the bombing raids with music and people writing messages about the bombs to be used. many of those messages centered around paying honor to the pilot who was

killed. >> we did find out there were strikes going on yesterday. we couldn't confirm it. that was iraqi tv. by the end of the show we found out strikes were underway and they were confirmed throughout the day. how shocked were you about the president's remarks yesterday at that prayer breakfast equating the crusades in the year 1095 to what we're experiencing today and witnessing with isis and their brutality? >> you want to talk about striking? watch. >> you missed it? watch it. >> unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusades and 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. >> you know what, mr. president? slavery ended here in 1865.

it is still going on in the muslim world. essentially what he's saying is this, who started the crusades? well, the catholic church did. so he's saying the catholic church was the isis of its time. so try telling that to the pope who is going to visit washington d.c. >> a little problem with moral equivalency under the circumstances here. it is not necessary. christians had nothing to do with what happened. christians had nothing to do with a man being burned alive in a cage we saw on wednesday that took place last month. nothing to do it. yet he named them in both the name of christ our savior, three times talked about christians but couldn't call radical islam for what it was, couldn't name the person behind the match. this is propaganda for the terrorists. watch. >> osama bin laden when he issued his fatwa -- when

the president of the united states steps up in front of the camera and has film of him talking about the terrible deeds that were done in the name of christ during the crusade, that is a propaganda gold mine for our enemies. >> remember the crusade started 1,000 years ago. isis is burning people today. >> burning children and burying them alive while selling off women and kids. and now we're trying to -- instead of our president leading us and galvanizing us like king abdullah has done, instead he's trying to justify where isis got it from essentially saying if you christians, or we christians didn't start it we wouldn't have this problem. >> get off your high horse brian. >> my fault again. >> stop judging. >> meanwhile, did you see this yesterday? a freshman senator from the great state of arkansas, tom cotton, had had it up to here. keep in mind a federal watchdog concluded that the administration broke the law when they released those five taliban prisoners to qatar without authorization from

congress. the principal under secretary for defense policy was sitting right there and said eric holder gave the approval to release them because we were worried about bowe bergdahl. well senator tom cotton had had it up to here and he said this. >> he's a veteran. >> -- guantanamo bay or engaging in terrorism or anti-american assignment. [inaudible] because they only engage in that kind of recidivism overcrazy. let's look at the -- overseas. how many detainees were in guantanamo in 2001? >> zero. >> what about in 1998 when they bombed our embassies? >> the facility was not open until 1992? >> same answer. >> 1983 when hezbollah bombed our embassy and

marine barracks in lebanon? the answer is zero. islamic terrorists don't need an excuse to attack the united states. they don't attack us for what we do. they attack us for who we are. it is not a secure decision. is it a political decision based on promise the president made on his campaign? to say it is a secure decision based on propaganda value our enemies get from it is a pretext to justify a political decision. in my opinion, the only problem at guantanamo bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there right now. we should be sending more terrorists there for further interrogation to keep this country safe. as far as i'm concerned every last one of them can rot in hell. but as long as they don't do that and they can rot in guantanamo bay. >> how great was that? >> a veteran who served our country. that hopefully will be taken as the national strategy will be rolled out by the administration. maybe they'll hear that. >> he called them on it. >> you can't touch him

because of what he's done, what he's seen and what he's witnessed and now he just won that senate seat. my hope is that we see more releases. they are talking about taking some of the guys they can't release and sending them to summit prisons. >> great. nine minutes after the hour. we've got breaking news. >> let's start with a fox news alert. twin engine failure, that is what investigators believe caused that deadly plane crash in taiwan. flight data is showing the first engine stopped working 37 seconds after the plane took off. the pilots then turned the other engine off in an attempt to restart them both. but it was too late. seconds later that plane carrying 58 people plunged into the river in taipei and this goes along with one survivor's claims saying the engine didn't sound right after taking off. at least 35 people are dead, 8 of them on that plane are still missing. new images showing devastation from the train crash that left six people dead in new york. look at this.

you can see inside, the burned out car windows completely melted. federal investigators say the engineer slammed on the emergency brakes and was blowing the horn at least twice before that train hit the s.u.v. the mother of three behind the wheel of the s.u.v. had at least 39 seconds to avoid that collision. witnesses describing the horrific scene in the new 911 calls. >> i have a car that was struck by a train. the car is on fire. there are people in the car. >> one car just exploded. people are jumping out of the train. >> ellen brody's funeral is set for today. investigators will look at her cell phone records to see if she was distracted. >> the feds say they know who might be behind the insurance company anthem's hacker. 80 million social security records, birthdays and

e-mail addresses were compromised. chinese officials are not commenting. what started as a shoplifting case ended up as an act of kindness. a police officer was called to the kroger grocery store because a man was accused of stealing baby formula. the officer learned he had fallen on hard times and wanted to feed his child. that is when the officer bought him the formula and let him walk free. >> me taking him to court wouldn't have done good for him. he's already short on money, can't afford formula. me making him appear in court, he's still not going to have food for that baby. >> the officer says he's also a father and really felt for that man who was struggling. those are your headlines. i wish we had his name and number. i would love to help out a little bit. >> maybe we'll pursue that. we have a lot of wrowrses wrowrses -- we have a lot of resources here.

president obama making a shocking comparison at the national prayer breakfast equating muslim extremism to christianity. >> unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusades and 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. >> our next guest is appalled by this analogy.

bishop e.w. jackson and the founder of stand joins us now. what place do christianity and christ have in that equation yesterday at the national prayer breakfast? >> elisabeth, i have a message for the president, with all due respect to him and for the office, mr. president, if you don't want to give terrorists a recruitment tool, instead of closing guantanamo bay, frankly, sir you ought to close your mouth because you just gave them a gigantic propaganda tool. they called us crusaders and you confirmed it. mr. president, we're not on a high horse. what we are is on high alert. the american people would like for once to know that you're willing to defend christianity and defend america instead of defend islam. >> bishop you served in the marine corps. you're a veteran. when you talk about propaganda the only thing propaganda does now is help recruit for isis and is then then the enemy. for our veterans and military personnel how much more danger do those words

put our service members in? >> i think he's given them a gigantic recruitment tool. he's told them, once again he's apologized for america. he's conjured up the image of crusaders and justified exactly what osama bin laden was saying that we are encroaching on them. i would remind the president that the crusades began in 1096 in response to islamic aggression and the fact they conquered the holy land and oppressing eastern christians and there was a response to that. if the president is going to cite that as an example, he ought to get his history complete. >> you did something the president won't do. you used the word islamic. not only did the president not protect christians and really go after them by invoking the name of christ yesterday some would say but he continued on the path of not calling the enemy what it is, not saying radical islam. don't you believe in not saying that he's actually protecting radical islam by not calling it out?

>> i don't know how to explain this but this president does everything he possibly can to defend islam and does almost nothing to defend the honor of this country. and, yes once again he's giving them exactly what they want. and you know, elisabeth they're laughing at us because athey see it as is a sign of weakness. and america needs to strength. >> i want to ask you as a strong message for christians who feel like they came under attack by the president of the united states. what are your words for them today? >> pray for our president. i think he's deeply misguided and confused. pray for our country. we need leaders who will defend the integrity of our nation and continue to stand up for what you know is right. >> strong words bishop jackson. we thank you for being with us today and your time. >> thank you for having me. >> got it. we will pray. with the measles outbreak affecting five babies too young to be vaccinated,

syria and now iraq. jordanian foreign minister saying jordan has now begun air strikes in iraq, which is a significant change in its policy. they're really one of the first arab countries to do that. that shows a real change in the jordanian think examining hopefully according to u.s. officials, the arab thinking across the world. the u.s. and others want to see the arab countries here in the gulf region do more to take on isis. we're already seeing it out of jordan with the air strikes. there is a real hope according to a lot of u.s. and western officials, that the arab countries like the uae and others will do more. back to you. >> indeed. conner powell live in jordan with the very latest. >> uea stopped doing anything since december. >> it did. >> they want the ospreys and able to if their pilots get shot down, they want to be able to evacuate them and who would blame them? all they need is help from us. while jordan is seeking revenge on the terrorists, our president was at the national prayer breakfast which happens every year in washington, d.c. and essentially what he did was he

said, you know what? yeah isis is bad. but you know what? christians were just as bad as isis was a couple of centries ago. not making it up. here is the president. >> unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusades and inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. and our home country slavery, jim crow all too often was justified in the name of christ. >> the crusades happened all those years ago. the president felt it was necessary to go back to year 1095 and talk about 200 years of the crusades to get relevance for today. he's making excuses, it seems for isis' behavior. essentially saying we started it. that is so unfathomable. who ok'd that speech in the

house and thought this is a way of really getting a message across the american people? >> christians had nothing to do with that. radical islam did. but the president didn't say it. he offended a ton of people of faith yesterday saying it at the national prayer breakfast including bishop jackson. founder and president of stand this is his words to the president now. >> mr. president, if you don't want to give terrorists a recruitment tool, instead of closing guantanamo bay frankly, sir, you ought to close your mouth because you just gave them a gigantic propaganda tool. they called us crusaders and you just confirmed it. mr. president, we are not on our high horse. what we are is on high alert. and the american people would like for once to know that you're willing to defend christianity and defend america instead of defending islam. >> i thought this wasn't a religious war? why even bring up the christian faith? i thought it had nothing to do

with religion? why are you trying to find relevance in christianity to fight against an organization who is basically a death cult? >> the former governor of the commonwealth of virginia, jim gilmore, said the president's comments are the most offensive i have ever heard a president make in my lifetime. he says he has offended every believing christian in the united states. what do you think? you've weighed in on facebook and twitter. >> earl is saying 1,000 years ago versus today the statement is beyond ridiculous and shows he's truly clueless in dealing with the radical islamists that are doing these horrible things. >> is he the told things that called mitt romney that said they want their foreign policy back. >> okay. john says, obama is giving isis legitimacy. he needs a history lesson. you know what? the blowback has been substantial. i'm hoping the president is reading it and watching it and

learning from it. >> is that the same prayer breakfast that he was at with ben carson a few years ago? >> exactly. dr. carson says it doesn't seem to be the president's day as of late. >> nope. it's 7:07 here in new york city. ainsley joins us right now with a fox news alert. >> that's right. thank you. a fox news alert twin engine failure. that's what investigators believe caused the deadly plane crash in taiwan. the black box are showing the first engine stopped working just 37 seconds after that plane took off. the pilot then turned off the other engine in an attempt to restart them both at the same time. but it was too late. seconds later, you can see what happened. the plane carrying 58 people plunged into the river. 35 people were killed. eight are still missing and amazingly, 15 of them did survive. brand-new images showing devastation from the plane crash that left six people dead in new york. look inside that burned out car right there. windows completely melted. federal investigators now say

sweet team to work with someone who is just looking for a job. that's phenomenal. hats off to them. >> so we were asking for your comments on that. we want to get your comments. do you think it's a good sign that somebody in another store would chip in and help somebody in their own life something they can't benefit from? >> i love the fact that the target employees got involved. they saw this kid who needed a hand. rather than just sell him a tie, i'm gog tie it for you and help you get a job. speak of ties, today is wear red day. we're all wearing red ties from macy's. of course, this is to promote heart health. and over the weekend dr. mark siegle will be talking about it on sunday housecall. >> especially when it comes to women. we talk about breast cancer all the time of the but heart is a bigger issue. >> number one killer across the nation. >> right. going back to something you said at the beginning of the program this hour when you said you had moved into your boyfriend's room at 21, you moved into his

what isis, al-qaeda, bow boko haram have in common? fueled by radical islamic

ideology. why does the obama administration refuse to label them as a war on radical islam? hawaii congresswoman joins us now, a democrat says the president is making a big mistake. she's also a u.s. army veteran who served two tours of combat in the middle east. congresswoman, welcome back. first off, your thought on the president's tact when it comes to labeling our enemy? >> first of all, i think it's a very basic principle and a very basic concept that in order to defeat your enemy, you must first define them. you first have to understand who they are what motivates them what their tactics are in order to come up with an effective strategy to defeat them, which is why it's so essential to identify, as you mentioned, when you look at 99% of the terrorist attacks that have been conducted around the world over the last 15 years, there is one element that's in common that they've all been fueled by and motivated by and conducted by these radical islamic extremists. in order to defeat that threat we have to identify it and then

come up with an effective strategy then to defeat it and get rid of it. >> it's interesting, up until yesterday, the president says i don't want to make this a religious war. that's why i don't want to bring this up. i don't want to put christians against muslims. however, the president yesterday brought up the fact that hey christians, get off your high horse. you were pretty bad during the crusades in 1090. is that relevant? >> it's not relevant. that's when i was listening to his speech, that was the first thing that came to mind is, what happened in the past, happened in the past. we can learn from those lessons but what we have to focus on and what our commander in chief should be focusing on is exactly the threat that is facing the american people today. as commander in chief your number one job is keeping the american people safe and protecting the freedoms that make our country strong. right now the reality is, again, when you look at the threats that exist not only to the american people, but to people around the world, they are being fueled by and motivated by this radical islamic ideology and the

only way to defeat this threat is in a two-pronged approach both militarily, but it also has to be defeated ideal logically. >> it's got to be more than one prong. there is 30,000 of them that need to be stopped. tom cotton is the latest cookie senator, also served in congress and also served overseas in the military. this is what he said about closing gitmo. he believes it's irresponsible to let them go while we're still at war. listen. >> only problem with guantanamo bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there right now. we should be sending more terrorists there for further interrogation to keep this country safe. >> do you agree, congresswoman? >> i was one of the few democrats in the house and on the armed services committee who spoke out very strongly against the five taliban prisoners who were released because they essentially were released in exchange for beau bergdahl because of this very reason. when we look at those five, we know that there is at least one

but there is the potential for more of them to get back in the fight. when we look at the threat that we face today, when we look at these prisoners who were designated still as very high risk, that they were not supposed to be released even as early as about a year before they were actually released, this is still an ongoing battle and why it's necessary for us to see that we are at war. these islamic extremists are our enemy and we need a effective strategy to defeat them. >> you're a democrat, veteran and you have a powerful position in congress. i hope the white house uses you as a resource because we certainly enjoyed getting your perspective today. thanks so much. >> aloha. >> ten minutes before the bottom of the hour. straight ahead remember this guy? he made headlines for being the hot convict. this morning he learned his fate. then are these a list actors about to get abatedown by -- a beatdown by sponge bob? the answer next.

i've been trying all morning how to put it in a couple sentences. mila kunis' character is an ordinary young woman who realizes her true destiny that she's royalty and heir to earth. and channing tatum is half man half wolf. the movie absolutely does not organically explain the plot line ha so far. i found myself just baffled by how terrible the script was. it was laughable at times. there are some good visuals from a production standpoint as well as the costumes. but overall, this movie really is a disappointing film. i gave it two out of five. i say skip it. rent it at home if you want to see it. overall, the performances are terrible. the script is terrible. the action is not memorable. >> would you name it "jupiter descending"? >> that's something to go for, yes. it's very, very bad. >> did you talk to some of the stars? >> we want to talk about that.

hundreds of years of muslim aggression and oppression that preceded them. or look at the inquisition. that was another dark chapter in the history of the church. and yet in the 450 years of the inquisition, you had about 2200 people who were killed. that's about five a year. more people were killed in a single day by muslim terrorists on 9-11 than in the entire inquisition put together. and that is why this equivalent doesn't hold up. >> also, doctor, the crusades were 1,000 years ago. isis is burning up people today and crucifying kids over in the middle east today. >> yes. that's exactly right. and look, we need to say something that is politically incorrect, but is absolutely true. >> go ahead. >> and that is -- okay. that is when these christian nut jobs do things that are wrong and violent, they are acting in opposition to their faith.

you can not find a single verse in the new testament that commands violence against unbelievers. but when these radical islamists commit acts of terror, they can point to numerous verses in the koran that say to commit violence against the infidels. you know, jesus said love your enemies. mohammed said, crucify your enemies am. amputate their limbs. jesus was the prince of peace. mohammed was the prince of war. the fact is those are the facts and facts are stubborn things. >> dr. jeffers, for the many christians watching they're not as historically well versed in religious history as you are. should christians be offended by what the president said yesterday? >> i think they should be offended by the president. this is a rare talent to be able to stand up at a prayer breakfast and both deny the root of islamic terrorism and at the same time degrade christians.
