weekend. welcome to "america's news headquarters" live from washington i'm leland vittert. with you as well. >> thank you very much i'm uma pemmaraju as jordan pounds isis with new air strikes a strong promise there that nation's interior minister whose military forces are wage ago relentless offensive against isis saying they will kwiep them out completely all this as isis insists our american hostage has been killed by those air strikes. the jordanians dismissing that claim. as the terror network's atrocities intensify does the u.s. have a strategy to fight isis into lus you thought it was bad when hackers hit retailers and high jacked your credit cards, it gets worse. how about having your healthcare
9:01 am
records stolen. that's happened for millions of americans, the country's second biggest insurer gets hacked. we'll tell you who might be behind it. and the fallout over the president's controversial remarks at this week's national prayer breakfast continues to draw heat. is the president offering an accurate history lesson or is it a slap against the christianity? a fair and balanced debate coming your way. and we begin with this fox news alert. jordan making good on its promise to launch a harsh offensive against isis. on isis targets in syria as that country's king pledges relently retaliation for the brutal murder of one of his air force pilot. jordanian air strikes are responsible for the death of our american hostage that's been held there by those brutal
9:02 am
terrorists, it's a claim jordan dismisses as criminal propaganda. let's get the latest from conor powell who is standing by in amman jordan now with the very latest. >> reporter: uma, kayla mueller is one of several americans that the state department says isis is holding hostage in syria and iraq, they won't say the exact number, but there are believed to be several is what they say. now, mueller when to syria several years ago to help the syrian refugees it is believed that she was taken hostage by isis sometime in august of 2013 and somewhere outside of a lep bow, since then there has been very little said about her, however, now isis is claiming that a jordanian air strike killed her in recent days. they've offered no proof and no real evidence to this statement and there's a lot of speculation not only here in jordan but also in washington, d.c. here, have a listen.
9:03 am
>> there's no way they could identify a jordanian plane it is all too convenient for them to claim that this poor woman was the only person killed, that there were who other isis people around, it just far too convenient as a propaganda move. >> reporter: now, both the cia and state department say they are aware of these claims. they are looking to try to verify this information. but they also are very skeptical as you just heard. the jordanians are calling this a criminal propaganda, they think it's an effort to draw attention away from that brutal killing of the jordanian pilot. now, as this is going on both jordan and the u.s. led coalition continues to strike in both iraq and syria on isis targets launching more than two dozen targets air strikes in both of those countries in the past 24 hour. it is still very much a u.s. led coalition, jordan, though has participated at a very high and
9:04 am
extended and expanded operation level here in the last week or so since it was found out that the jordanian pilot muath al kaseasbeh was killed. a jordan taking very much a big lead in this, but the collision also getting some good news here that the uae that small gulf country has rejoined the air coalition after dropping out about a month ago after the jordanian pilot's plane crashed in syria. so that is seen as a good step. there is a lot of pressure on the arab gulf countries to do more here. this is still very much a u.s. led coalition, but the u.s. is forcing and really demanding that these arab countries do more to fight isis since this is in their own backyard. >> conner, thank you so much for that update. kayla mueller's parents say that despite the isis claim that she was killed they are hopeful she is alive her hometown neighbors are rallying around her family. >> well, they do it out of their
9:05 am
heart, the goodness of feeling that they want to help and they go there with the intent to do good and they're on their own basically. when they get captured like that, it affects us >> press cot really is a wonderful small town and what affects one family it affects us all and if this has indeed happened, our deepest sympathies and support will go out to the family. >> mueller's family says she was taken hostage back in august of 2013 her identity hasn't been disclosed until now because of fears for her safety. while the dangers we face may be more numerous and varied they are not of the existential nature we confronted during world war ii or during the cold war. we cannot afford to be buffeted by a largism and a nearly instantaneous news cycle. >> susan rice outlining a
9:06 am
blueprint for national security effort for the president's final two years in office avoiding any definition of an isis strategies and says american ground troops will not be confronting terrorists. the president defending his isis strategy saying, quote anything we could be doing we are doing. on that point though critics are challenging him since the atrocities continue as we witnessed with the murder of hostages and innocent civilians also this week a chilling report from the united nations stating that right now isis is routinely abducting young boys and girls in iraq who are being tortured, raped and sold as sex slaves. non islam mic children are being crucified and even buried alive and the un economy on the rights of the child are urging that much more needs to be done. many americans are asking that same question, why we're not urgently doing more to stop this rain reign of terror. joik us two marine veterans arizona democratic congressman
9:07 am
true ben serving in had iraq with the third battalion 25th marine corps unit along with mississippi congressman who is also on the front lines serving am in the persian gulf war with the marine corps reserve and still a member of the national guard. before we begin i want to say that both of you are on the armed services committee and we want to thank you for your service and making a difference to keeping our country safe, je gentlemen. welcome. >> congressman, let me begin with you we are hearing that the president will be asking congress to authorize the use of force against isis within days, but few expect that to include ground forces. the world looks to the united states to organize and lead this effort while we're still waiting to see what develops, people are dying. and i just pointed out so many atrocities are being committed against helpful children. the longer with he wait the worse it gets. we watched for month that limited air strikes are not getting the job done and we don't appear to have a defined strategy. do you expect that we will have
9:08 am
one? >> i do expect one and we need to demand one before we actually by any authority about we're democrats or republicans. the reason there is hesitancy among many of us, our experience in iraq will tell you that if we go am there and take care of this problem we can quickly take care of this problem, the u.s. has a great military capability, you bring a couple marines in we could clear the problem, but the problem is just like what happened this iraq every time i cleared a town as soon as i left that town the inn surge ens would come back in because fundamentally the iraqi government is not ready and has not -- necessary to be able to stand up against isis. that's the last thing we want to do, again some in as a savior for the iraqi government when they haven't formed a good coalition with the kurds or sun yees. we'll find ourselves going back in iraq every couple years to clean up their mess. >> both you are among those are met with jordan's king abdullah this week and it's a pivotal
9:09 am
moment for the jarred yans. the king is vowing in his words a re lentless war with isis and is requesting for the u.s. to out for with military resources. the president has sought to attract a broad coalition, jordan is ready to go the distance yet it's been reported that he's already denied the king's request for a predator drone. why dee my him at this important moment? >> uma i don't know but going back to the au approximate mf congress is looking forward to the debate on that it's something had a needs to happen and doesn't need to be limited in scope. the president of the united states who has shown that the world that we do not have a strategy on confronting this crisis crisis, this this threat, isis in their bar barrism and just the brutal act of horror that they're committing against children and women, muslim and non muslim christians he shouldn't be telling the world what we're not going to do and shouldn't be limiting it to the military basically tying their
9:10 am
hands. i think our military commanders have a way and a plan to confront this threat and to eliminate it. like the congressman said you send in a handful of marines we'll get get the threat under control but the problem is jordan is not asking porsche, they want parents and fuel and munition and the tools to be able to defeat this crisis and we should be joining in this with the jord ain't yans and providing them everything that the united states can provide. this is not just a threat to jordan and the region, this is a global threat, one that which need to des right and eliminate completely. >> they're also asking for predator drones. shouldn't jordan get the resources it it needs to fight isis right now? >> well clearly when we spoke to king abdullah and the congress from mississippi was also there with me he expressed that he wants to take the fight to jordan -- we obviously should do everything we can. i don't know what the hold up
9:11 am
with these drones, there may be some kind of national security issue where we're not allowed to pass out certain sensitive equipment to people but obviously anything we can to help out jordan to help out any ally that wants to fight especially an arab ally to fight isis we should help out and we should give as soon as possible. >> as a veteran, congress, you have been on the front lines and understand military strategy. those -- there are those hobble that the president by not showing a willingness to define the terrorists as being part of radical islam it's a problem as several military commanders have said unless you define the enemy you can never win. as a veteran do you believe this to be true? >> no. the only thing that really mattered when i was going door to door or fighting inn surge ens the definition that really mattered was whether they ended up dead or alive, it country really matter what i called them before or after. you know, i think the people -- the most important thing people are missing we are fighting with
9:12 am
a collision the jordanians are 100% in and we shouldn't make it any more difficult for them by trying to make this an islam versus the u.s. fight. king abdullah kind of mentioned this when he was speaking to us it is civilization versus pure bar barrism. >> it's not islam against the world, it's radical islam that people are taking issue with, that's what people are saying is the crux of this problem, congressman, what do you say about this? >> wall, you know, going back to what we're saying providing jordanians with the tools it sounds like the government of jordan is confronting federal bureaucracies in the united states. i mean they can't cut through the red tape to get them the tools and the equipment that they need to defeat this threat. we haveling partners in the region that are ready to get their, you know, hands bloodied protecting their families and their community and taking this fight to the enemy in their
9:13 am
backyard so it doesn't come to our backyard here in the united states or into jordan's backyard. it's not like we're equipping the ear yans, no one knows who the good syrians are. >> can't you win -- can air strikes alone do it? >> i think that's up to the president. we've seen the air strikes, we've launched over 2,200 air strikes and isis seems to be as strong as ever. i think, you know, at the end of the day we have to listen to our men and women in uniform. the people that are actually on the ground, the trained and the profession of arms to defend our country and our allies around the world let the generals come in and tell us exactly what we need and as commander in chief the president needs to take counsel with these men and women and make sure that we're protecting america and protecting our friends around the world. >> gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us with your insights, really appreciate it. again, thank you so much for your service. >> thank you uma. >> now we'd like to hear from you. do you support using u.s. ground
9:14 am
troops to destroy isis? send us your thoughts you can send us your responses to @uma pemmaraju, cath leland vittert or to @anhqdc and we will read some ever of your responses a little bit later on in the show. federal prot kurts say the sle terrorist groups we're fighting get significant help from inside our borders and they want to change that fact. the justice department says six bosnian immigrants are accused of sending money and equipment overseas to help terrorist organizations including the islamic state and al qaeda in iraq. officials say five of the six have been arrested the sixth is out of the country all of the accused were living legally here in the united states. >> and in nigeria a brutal baddel against boem harm, force ns niger telling 109 islamist insurgents yesterday. those forces with boem harm attacks. four soldiers were killed and 17
9:15 am
others wounded in that fighting. boko haram inn surge ens yees has left thousands of people dead and displaced and more than a million people over the past six years. it appears the latest devastating cyber attack that jeopardized pls of medical records could have come from china. hackers grabbed information from 80 million insureds through the healthcare giant anthem and it's a big cue for the hackers, a social security number would sell for just a couple of buck on the black market, each partial medical record can net some $50. joining us the former chairman from the home hand security committee on describer security. are these lonely fat guys in their mom's basement with computers or is this sophisticated organized crime trying to target individual companies? >> it's very sophisticated organized crime. we have seen this using economic records before the idea that you can take is somebody's side
9:16 am
it and turn it into some kind of thing that you can make money on, but you make pennies on the dollar with those identities, what has happened here has been a huge move towards a far more lucrative identification, that is the medical record of an individual. that can be used, first, to perpetrate fraud the biggest concern being that now we'll have all kinds of billing irregularities, imagine if your name is used for fraudulent billing for some other kind of person that doesn't exist. it can have an impact on a whole variety of issues and of course the whole idea of the sank at this time of a medical record. we do a great deal to pry to protect the privacy of medical records now these thing can be used in some kind of capacity to threaten an individual with exposure of information as well as the sang at this time of the record and the confidence you have in it. what happens if i get injured and somebody says do you have an o positive blood type? huge new incursion into an area
9:17 am
of great concern. >> when it comes to the issue of who is behind this, are we at the point now where other governments conceive believe hostile governments they may not be doing it themselves but they are allowing these hackers to operate in terms of in kind in a, in russia in ukraine and lease kinds of countries and allowing them to go after u.s. targets? >> well, that's a big problem. certainly we know about that extensively in eastern europe and you identified russia who seems to give cover to these criminal networks, the chinese have already been identified by the fbi with indictments and once again, we have seen that there has been a denial of an association, but the fbi lays out a clear track. it goes back again to what the purpose is to get inside these records. so sometimes you have some who, you know, is this state sponsored or as you identified is it allowed to operate with
9:18 am
the state's knowledge. >> it's a distinction without a difference. >> that's an important point. i want to put up some of the recent hacking attacks as we go through them it's not any more 5,000, 10,000 records it's millions of records going through companies like target 70 million, jpmorgan chase, home depot, ebay for 185 million customers. what i'm wondering from a legislative perspective there's obviously been so much work on cooperation between the government and between companies that have dit data like this but at some level do these companies need to be penalized? does there need to be a law if you're hacked all of a sudden you're on the hook for a huge fine or to help make it right to these people whose medical records are out there to encourage these companies to have better cybersecurity? >> i'm not sure that that would accomplish what we need to do and you already see banks and other are liable for to some extent for any of the abuses of
9:19 am
that with reimbursements, but what we need to do is be able to kind of create the standards in which all of the parts of that sector play up to the game at the level that needs to be done and one of the real fears is we actually have some pretty substantial protections in things like the banking industry but they're willfully lacking in the healthcare industry. one of the great concerns you have is this ability to move information as necessary with respect to people's records and billing, which such a complicated system but it's easily broken into and you can see it can be easily used more effectively, in fact, for fraud. >> exactly. especially now that there's so many more electronic cal medical records, a big part of the president's push with obamacare. we'll have to leave it there. we appreciate your time, sir. >> thanks so much. >> oouchl. >> and still ahead thousands of refugees belonging to persecuted
9:20 am
religious groups facing a harsh winter in iraq and this isn't the first time. and the first hardship that we've brought you this story last summer when they were forced to flee ahead of isis. next we'll talk to the kurdish leader trying to protect them. it's like clockwork north korea's leader is at it again we'll tell you how he let the u.s. and south korea now that he's unhappy about their upcoming military maneuvers. >> and high winds and floods making life miserable for millions of americans at this hour.

9:25 am
syrian border. here is what the head of the kurd stand regional government told me months ago. >> again, uma, we are not asking for boots on the ground and to -- we will do the fighting, the bolts are the peshmerga forces if we are equipped but you cannot fight when isis has the military weapons in their hand that they have captured. >> eventually a little lep managed to i a rife but was hardly enough to hold on to the gain that the per sh mer ga forces are making and now the kurdish forces are still desperate for the basic military equipment. joining us once again who is here to continue what continues to be a cuff situation between the kurds and the white house. welcome. great to have you here again. >> thanks for having me. >> the heroic fighters have been essentially left to fight alone abandoned by the iraqi army and
9:26 am
only limited support by the u.s. when i first interviewed you back months ago you had just met with the white house officials will desperately seeking basic military equipment like bullets and helmets. that request was held up for white away as the kurdish fighters tried to push back against isis. now all these months later you are ga back to tell us you are still left waiting for more aid. this is absolutely unbelievable. >> that remains the case unfortunately, uma. however, since last time i appeared on your show we have made a lot of progress, the person mer ga have taken back kobani and villages around kobani have been liberated we have taken back 1,500 square kilometers with the help of the international air strikes. air strikes have been extremely helpful. but here is the problem. isis has adapted to these air strikes. now we have to adapt to their
9:27 am
tactic particulars as well. you cannot fight the fight when you're inadequately equipped. per sh merg ga remain to be inadequately equipped. the isis militants continue to have the heavy equipment that they have captured from the iraqi security forces back in june and august when they took over the city of mosul. >> i know you've said that you have been successful with some of the air strikes with the u.s. backing up the kurdish forces there. you've gotten those assurances from the white house. but despite those efforts your troops have managed to fight hard with heavy losses. the promised military weapons that you've been hoping for would have made a huge difference since august 1,000 kurdish fighters have been killed, another 5,000 wounded. isis is aware of the fact that you don't have advanced military gear. share with the audience how isis takes advantage of the tough weather conditions because your folks don't have night vision goggles. >> unfortunately that's the case as i mentioned earlier.
9:28 am
sy has adapted to these air strike tactics. whenever it gets positiony, especially kurd stand region gets the winter is very harsh, a lot of foggy nights, snowy nights and rainy thiets. everytime is gets foggy air strikes cannot take place, the air strikes cannot see the en pea. they would sneak it on the peshmega front lines. if they had something as simple as the night vision goingel they probably would be able to detect the isis militants terrorist militants miles away. however, by the time they discover it they're probably hearing their footsteps. next thing you know they're fighting with hand grenades and handguns. this is where a lot of the casualties are taking place. other tactics, every time isis militants feel that they are losing ground, they will send in reinforcements suicide reinforcements. this could be a concrete struck filled with explosive, a lot of armored plates attached to the sides.
9:29 am
there's one tiny hole just for the driver and the -- this suicide bomber will krief into the middle of the mesh perg ga ranks and detonate this. we do not have the counter ied technology and we have asked the united states and the u.s. led coalition for the kind of technology for the body armor, for the anti-armor equipment, artillery and of course something as simple as non lethal night vision goingel. this could be making a difference on the ground because the enemy is taking advantage of this weather that air strikes could not take place. >> i know that your people have never asked for american boots on the ground, they want to go after isis on their own with an inspiring fighting spirit. it's amazing to me that they've managed to hold op against the odds and actually take back kobani last month at the ear yan border after months of fighting. rab is quite a different story, isn't it? >> absolutely. the peshmega the kurdish fighters are glad to see jordan
9:30 am
fighting us full throttle. you had the only competent force on the grounds, the boots on the ground have been peshmerga. you as special operations to make the air strikes more effective to bring in more rel couldn'ter assistant from the air somebody has to call in these air strikes to indicate targets. peshmerga do not have direct communications with these f 16,or f 22 rk. american special operations can do that. advisors are extremely helpful but probably would be more effective in taking a lot more territory. look, today we are who canning knocking on the doorsteps of mosul. we are so close, the peshmerga are so close our artillery is landing in mosul. a lot of the neighborhoods on the outskirts of mosul have already been evacuated deerg that the peshmerga are are going to be moving in, but mosul is not going to be easy it's go going to require an
9:31 am
international cooperation. kurdish peshmerga forces, sunni tribes men to join niece ranks as well as the iraqi security forces. kobani, you mentioned kobani, extremely difficult. >> i know it's very difficult to told on to. i understand. unfortunately we're running out of time. i do know you are lobbying with members of congress right now to find with a is to cut through the bureaucracy i hope you will come back and update us on those activities. still to come this week weighs national prayer breakfast is generating lots of heat following the president's controversial remarks about islam and christianity. plus, horseplay leads to a tub of trouble for this horse. we'll tell you how she ended up without a leg to stand on in the bathtub and though they got her out.
9:35 am
9:36 am
welcome back. some tough weather conditions out west making headlines this weekend, storms sweeping down the co-bringing heavy floods to that he is region. those storms delaying hundreds of flights and mocking power out to thousands of homes. meteorologist dan nis dean is tracking that storm. janice what can you tell us? >> well, ultimately a good news story they really need so see this moisture but we're worried about flooding and mudslides and delays and cancellations. we're going to continue to see this wet weather stretching as far south as central california into early next week as several systems nof move on shore. we could easily see 4 of 6 inches of happy rain. but this area has been into an extreme to chaepgs exceptional drought, especially california much of california here really into a dire drought situation so they'll take what they can get unfortunately we're going to have to deal with the potential for flooding and those consequences that come with all
9:37 am
of that rainfall in a short period of time. they're also into a snow drought so they are welcoming the snow, a lot of skiers out here, san francisco you're going to see the rain your forecast for sunday and monday things will clear up as we head into tuesday and wednesday. the other big story is it feels like spring out there for much of the country except for the northeast and we're going to talk about the next storm system that's troeflg develop for the northeast in your next hour. >> we're very jill laos about our friends out west who are getting those spring like temperatures. stand by for more snow over here. thanks so much for that update. brutal vicious death cult that in the name of religion carries out unspeakable acts of barberism unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crew said and the inquisition people committed terrible deeds in the
9:38 am
name of christ. >> president obama at the national prayer breakfast this week, some say they could not believe what they were hearing. and for a fair and balanced debate about that a fair pair of exhaust insiders former white house communications aid for president obama and currently a senior vice president with voks global that's cory and mercedes a former spokesperson for president george w. bush. mercedes, there's a lot of things that stuck me about this comment. what is interesting is about isis he says in the name of religion, about christianity he says in the name of christ. we never heard muhammad or slam mic do you think that's intentional. >> the president decided that he was going to make this morale lecture in this seth with the christian leaders and it has offended them. i mean i spoke to several of these christian leaders and they were stunned by his remarks. making there was one historian that came out thomas madden who said i don't think the president really understands the crew said and that's a big problem because of the fact that he was
9:39 am
insulting christianity. we're in modern times right now making that connection to the crew said which was a defensive war, it really was a complete disconnect i think for the president and especially insulting to so many christian leaders. >> cory, i want to pop this up, poll for americans are we at war with radical islam? yes, 56% no 37%. is the president on the wrong side of the american public opinion right now with this? >> no. he actually isn't. as a matter of fact, the reason he said what he said is exactly because of the numbers you've just offered. i mean, let's take a step back. the topic of the speech as the president laid it out was a review of how history how rel with onwas used in history to justify line nous acts. the second thing is what i heard was a rigorous defense of the first amendment and freedom of religion, two of the bedrock principles of our country. and going hand in hand with
9:40 am
that, we go to the next step, which is what are we doing neck? what are we doing about this and how are we fighting against isis? that's what i heard the president talk about. >> he got the history wrong, let's start from there. secondly he has had a rocky relationship with christians who feel that he is attacking them on religious lip erts. he has done very little for reach out with christian leaders. he has met with muslim leaders at the white house. >> that's absolutely not true. >> when the christians were being persecuted in mosul the president didn't talk about that subject for months. so, again, the christians are feeling very on the defense and then he gives this morale speech in the podium that was incredibly insulting to the christian leaders. >> ultimately the president has saying, look we should no more condemn christians than we should condemn muslims. so the issues -- >> hold on. when we talk about history i want to play in sound bite from
9:41 am
the president real quick. >> in our home country slavery and jim crow all could often was justified in the name of christ. >> what's interesting is that all the history lessons about the crew said and am this case about jim crow and slavery which raised a lot of eyebrows as well were things that happened in the past. isis is something that's happening now. why make that comparison at all? >> but this war that we're fighting right now this war against terror we've been fighting since 2001 and the president is doing the same thing that president bush said. he said basically look we should condemn these terrorist acts and the people who commit these acts but condemn our muslim neighbors and we should not the religion of islam. we shouldn't do that. >> that wasn't the speech he gave at the national prayer breakfast. >> it absolutely was. that is what he said. >> he brought in the crew said started making this comparison i'm hoping that humanity has evolved and what we're seeing
9:42 am
are these barbaric acts, the u.n. report came out with over 24,000 eye iraqi civilians that has been killed. >> we should not allowed these terrorist cowards to hide behind the shield of religion into then he needs to doll it what tags. >> that's the point. that's exactly the point. no, that is -- that is absolutely not right. if we are talking about -- we shouldn't allow them to hide behind religion. if we say islamic terrorists we're acknowledging that they're trying to hide behind this and just tie guy it. >> the islamic militants, the islamic state they are expanding into syria. i think you should have given that peach rather than president obama because he was way off. >> once the camera lights go off you guys can still keep debating. we'll clear it there. >> talk about a very unusual emergency for firefighters, a horse stuck in a bathtub but can they do anything about it?

welcome back everybody. you can call it a love story. 33 years young and still going strong. we're talking about ricky skaggs and his wife. both have won awards for their individual talents but for the first time they are releasing a duet album celebrating love and commitment. just ahead of valentine's day next week, we checked in with them as they share their secret for success and an endearing marriage. >> this duet album is very
9:53 am
special. you both have been married 33 years. that's amazing and wonderful. >> i used to feel like it would never happen. we had a dream on our bucket list if you will and i just think that this is the right time for it now. we're happy. >> ricky what do you hope folks come away with as they listen to songs on this album? >> i hope they come away encouraged with their husbands who are wives. this is a great record about commitment and about love and about marriage but it is so much fun. there's so many great fun songs in there too. that's what life and marriage should be. if you're not having fun, there's something wrong. we just love each other so much and we're so committed to each other. ♪ >> i tell people that music is what brought us together many years ago but the love of the lord is really what keeps us
9:54 am
together. that's the thing that keeps us together. >> when you say music brought you both together how did that happen? >> we worked the same festival back in 1971. we met then and then in 1981 after both of us had been through failed marriages, so we married in 1981. we kind of have some experience and we have some credibility. we knew what we're talking about when we talk about commitment. >> what would you say the secret of success is when it comes to having a wonderful marriage like the two of you have? >> i think one of the first things is to remember what made you fall in love in the first place. people enter into a relationship thinking maybe they're going to -- this is great but i'm going to really change him as i go. i knew from experience that didn't work, okay. that's no way to go into something. and also i think that most

saturday with us. a brand new hour here inside "america's news headquarters" from washington. a new wave of air strikes taking aim at isis as jordan leads the call to destroy the islamic state saying it will "wipe them out completely" as the fate of an american hostage remains unclear at this hour while isis claims she was killed in an air strike but her family is holding onto hope that the worst has not happened. how do we wage a strategy with militants determined to do anything in their quest for control? we'll talk to retired major general bob scales. growing fallout over prime minister benjamin netanyahu's speech to congress next month. the white house made no secrets that it's unhappy. now we'll tell you who is pressuring the israeli leader to cancel. later a study that may prove your baby is just as smart as you think she is. >> all that and more coming up in a brand new hour live from
10:01 am
the nation's capital. we start right now. we begin with the fight against isis. jordan making good on its promise of harsh retaliation against isis joining u.s. and coalition forces for fresh air strikes on the islamic state and its targets inside syria. both jordan and the u.s. are skeptical right now of isis and its claim that air strikes killed an american hostage that was held by the militants. the fate of kayla mueller remains unknown but her family says it's holding out hope. meanwhile, the debate goes on how best to stop the terrorist army. retired u.s. army major bob scales joins us to discuss this. while the air strikes are big and there's lots of explosions are they strategically significant? >> no. the rate of targeted attacks is
10:02 am
slow. it averages 12 to 13 a day. remember on the opening campaign on the march to baghdad in 2003, it was 800 a day. it gives the enemy an opportunity to adapt and go to ground and camouflage themselves and hide in cities so each succeeding set of air strikes over time results in less and less damage to the enemy so eventually the two lines cross and more air strikes and more ordnance on targets doesn't result in a proportionate increase of isis deaths. >> you can't occupy ground from the air, i want to play this in terms of public relations. this is interesting that jordanians put out just after their first round of air strikes. this is a video from the jordanian armed forces they put out that shows them writing
10:03 am
messages on the bombs and put out a picture of the jordanian king in his military uniform, a former pilot. does this pr war mean anything in the arab world? >> yes and no. you know, the arab enthusiasm for war particularly in this war really follows a curve. the jordanians are out for revenge. they're seeking to redress the horror of what happened to one of their pilots, but it may last six months. it may last a year. it's an opportunity for the united states to cobble together a coalition and up the game and bring saudis in and increase american presence in the region and give jordanians what they don't have like intelligence, logistics and drones and amplify the ability to capitalize on that rage. unfortunately, i don't think it will happen. >> in terms of capitalization and jordanians to your point, i want to put up a quote. this is touching and telling at the same time. the father of the jordanian
10:04 am
pilot who was killed on the front page of "the washington post." muath was just one of my sons. i have three others ready to serve. he just watched his son be burned to death in this way. it seems as though at this point you have an air lift by the united states sending more bombs and more weapons and more artery artilliary to the jordanians. >> you live ammunition up and you put it in a c-17 and you fly. it isn't hard. in this administration, the friction that goes with this, the interventions by lawyers and by bureaucrats and fearful people. it's almost in the liberal mindset my god if we give them bullets, they may use them. >> terrible in this case. >> and it's just at a point
10:05 am
right now where as jordanians thirsts for revenge escalates, our ability to amplify that isn't there. >> this struck me that was something that was interesting that hasn't been talked about a lot but in the sense that this jordanian fighter pilot's plane wasn't shot down. it had mechanical failure but somehow there wasn't combat search and rescue assets available to quickly respond to get in there and to save this guy or even get into a firefight to try to save him at the time he parachuted down. do you think pentagon players have gone back and put in security measures and more contingency planning so if a u.s. plane has that problem? >> or you name the plane. this is called combat search and rescue. it's classified. the initial location of these resources and that includes tier 1 special forces, helicopter rescue and the air support to protect helicopters going in was just too far away to react
10:06 am
in time. >> was that poor planning? >> poor planning and reluctance of our allies to station assets in their regions and now all that's changed. so i think it's better now but god forbid an american aircraft should be shot down. i can't imagine. >> or mechanical failure like one that took off from jordan. >> a single point of failure god forbid that should happen to our forces. >> our prayers will be with them, general. we appreciate your time. reheard fromdo you support using u.s. ground troops to destroy isis or what should be done against isis? tweet us. i need more twitter followers. depending on what you say we'll read some of your thoughts coming up here later in the show. ahead of the end of baghdad's decades old nightly curfew, bombs explode across
10:07 am
that city. 37 people now dead. dozens more injured in those attacks. police say the deadliest bombing happening after a suicide bomber blows himself up on a street filled with stores and restaurants. a second attack taking place at a popular baghdad location. in yemen, fireworks lit up the sky as shiite rebels celebrated taking over the country. they're nounknown as houthies. yemen's president resigned last month leaving the country in political limbo and now there could be a civil war like conflict. the white house isn't the only one upset over benjamin netanyahu's upcoming speech next month to congress. now we're hearing that some opposition leaders at home are calling on the israeli prime minister to cancel his appearance. there's also word that if he does go as scheduled vice
10:08 am
president joe biden will not be in the audience as well. molly? >> we don't know where the vice president will be on march 3rd. his office says he'll be out of the country when israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addresses congress. vice president biden as president of the senate, usually would attend a joint meeting of congress especially when a foreign leader speaks and sit behind the podium. he has missed another address by a foreign leader the australian prime minister in 2011. the vp's office says this trip was planned before house republican speaker john boehner announced that netanyahu would be addressing lawmakers. the white house has been critical of boehner for lining up netanyahu without coordinating with the obama administration. president obama has a tense relationship with the israeli leader mainly over disagreements over iran's efforts to develop nuclear weapons. other democrats also skipping the netanyahu speech include congressman john lewis and gk
10:09 am
butterfield and earl blumenauer. neither president obama nor secretary of state john kerry will meet with netanyahu when he's in town. they say it's too close to the israeli elections and they don't want to appear to take sides. >> all about the politics. all right. thank you very much. now we turn to the conflict in ukraine. vice president joe biden secretary of state john kerry were in germany today joining other world leaders to hammer out a plan to try to force a peace deal between the russian backed rebels and ukrainian government troops. ukraine's president is pushing for a cease-fire and appealing to the west for help. biden was still skeptical about russia's intentions. >> we must judge the existing agreement next and any future agreement with russia by the actions russia takes on the ground, not by the paper they
10:10 am
sign. and given russia's recent history, we need to judge it by its deeds and not its words. don't tell us show us president putin. too many times president putin promised peace and delivered tanks. >> tough words from the vice president. a plan that was drawn up by france and germany is now being described as a last chance for peace. back in this country, health officials remain on high alert at this hour in illinois awaiting lab results to confirm whether five infants attending the same daycare center have the measles. lab results have already confirmed that two of those cases and doctors have diagnosed the other three based on similar symptoms. all children, all of those children attending a kindergarten daycare center in a chicago suburb. >> once an epidemic starts and
10:11 am
you don't put in stopgaps this can spread. >> infants vulnerable. high fever red watery eyes and a rash that spreads down the body of some of the symptoms to watch for when you talk about measles. in sacramento, california, 16 people tested positive for exposure to tuberculosis. more than 150 students and staff were examined at a high school after one student was diagnosed with active tb last month. those who are positive for exposeure will undergo chest x-rays and offer preventive treatment. only those with active tb are actually infectious. okay. turning now to the weather. stormy weather indeed causing a massive pileup in upstate new york. state police saying some 40 vehicles involved in a big crash including five tractor-trailers. more snow unfortunately is expected in the area which
10:12 am
could create some more headaches on the roadways. meteorologist janice dean is standing by at the fox weather service with more on our snowy forecast. as i understand it we're not talking about a day. we're talking about days of snow. >> several days, yes, you're correct. into tuesday. we're into this wintry pattern across the northeast and you can see we're already seeing some of that snow across upstate new york and new england. new england, you could see over a foot or more including you in boston and look at the temperatures. d.c., you're around 46 right now. south of the new york city area it will be a rain event. around new york city north of the area that's where we'll see the wintry mix and the snow event. the big system moves in on sunday night into monday. we're watching several impulses of snow pushing across this region but sunday night into monday concerning because we head into a rush hour monday morning and we're dealing with an icy situation in and around
10:13 am
new york city south of new york city for central new jersey north of the area that's where we think we'll get the jackpot of snow. again, it could be really tricky. if you live from philadelphia up to new york city parts of d.c. new jersey, connecticut, long island, you need to be paying close attention to your local forecasters. we'll certainly keep you up to date and then by tuesday it's out of the way but some of the snow totals over two feet in new england. so this is the area of concern as we head in through sunday to tuesday. that mixture here we're worried about ice and freezing rain and sleet and then more snow for new england. look at some of these snow totals. we really shot up over the last week in boston where we were having a snow drought. now we have over 54 inches. they don't know what to do with the snow. so certainly that's going to be an ongoing situation. there's a look at some of the snowfall totals. three to four for new york city. less than an inch for philadelphia. boston close to 12 inches plus and then up toward upstate new york vermont maine, over 15
10:14 am
inches possible. the good news is if you're a skier, you are loving this forecast. on the flip side of this, go anywhere across the plains states and you're dealing with spring-like weather. it's really just the northeast corridor dealing with cold air and snow. look at some of these temperatures. way above average. i'm sure they're enjoying a taste of spring across the plains. >> they deserve a break. so do we. our friends in boston and the rest of new england, they are having a tough go of it. >> they are, yes. >> janice, thanks so much. we all had sticker shock at the gas pump because it was so low. hope you saved while you could. gas prices are on the rise up. we'll tell you how high they could go. and after one of the taliban five reached out to his taliban friends, new fireworks on capitol hill this weekend over guantanamo bay and should it be closed. after the break, a fair and balanced debate. >> in my opinion the only
10:15 am
problem guantanamo bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there right now. as far as i'm concerned, enlast one of them can rot in hell. if they can't do that, they can rot in guantanamo bay. what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. jack's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today, his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before your begin an aspirin regimen.

it was a media event in north korea today and kim jong-un came out to view some exercises. still pictures were released showing the leader looking through binoculars. north korea is showing its military might ahead of next month's military exercises by the united states and south korea. north korea always objects to the drill calling them an invasion rehearsal. >> in my opinion the only
10:19 am
problem at guantanamo bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there. as far as i'm concerned, every last one of them can rot in hell. as long as they don't do that, they can rot in guantanamo bay. >> debate rages on with lawmakers taking aim at the white house efforts to close guantanamo bay. the obama administration continues its pushback against a bill to restrict it from releasing detainees to other countries saying it's an effort to shut down that facility for good. 122 detainees remain at gitmo and emotions are running high over that prison's future. joining us now with a fair and balanced debate, fox news channel political analyst and former national finance director for the democratic national committee. welcome to the both of you. great to have you here. >> david, let me begin with you. david, the government's report says that at least 30% of the
10:20 am
gitmo detainees released so far go back to the front lines of terror. given what's going on right now what's at play with isis and boko haram and other terrorist networks where we are witnessing incredible atrocities, what's the rush to close this facility down right now? why do it at this point? why not wait? >> i don't think there's a rush and there's an incredible vetting process that is done in conjunction with the congress in the release of those that have been held at gitmo. i have seen different reports that show maybe 1% of the 520 that have been released have maybe engaged with the taliban or whatever but there's no evidence that they have been engaged in actual fighting or joined isis as you alluded to earlier. >> they have ties but no one has been captured or no one knows. >> we're not playing with words. >> let's play with the facts and address the facts. the biggest threat today is that
10:21 am
we can't get a republican majority in both the house and senate to pass a homeland security funding bill to protect me, you, all of us from any threats that may exist so let's get to the facts and address that and make sure to fund -- i'm not shifting it. to answer the question, i'm not shifting away from terror or from homeland security. funding homeland security is critical to defending us against the terrorists that people are alluding to in trying to fight against it. there's no money there. your republican party has not put forth the money to fund our security apparatus. >> to answer your question why the rush, this president has two more years in office. he's been elected twice. why now? the senator was correct when he said this is not a security decision. this is a political decision and
10:22 am
we have a commander in chief that cares more about his legacy than about keeping us safe. >> that criticism that you're raising and that question you're raising would have to apply to the former president being george w. bush who released 520 gitmo prisoners. so we didn't hear a cry about those others. >> let me interrupt for a moment for people that are still detained are supposed to be the worst of the worst and even though this administration says gitmo remains a symbol of hatred against the west for what these groups perceive us to be guilty of 9/11 happened before gitmo was opened. the attack on the "uss cole" happened before gitmo was open. they didn't need a reason back then to attack united states interest and the other side says gitmo is the reason they are attacking us because we hold prisoners there.
10:23 am
>> that's bush's reasoning for releasing 500 prisoners. >> these definetainees are rock stars to the people that hate america. releasing them even though you have terror ties in a study that you alluded to, terror ties they can recruit more people to join their cause. we should keep them there and i'm with senator cotton again that we have empty beds so we should put more of them there. >> that is contrary to what your president said before. >> my president is not your president? so is obama your president and bush is my president? is that what you were saying? >> he was our president but in particular your party. obviously within the party there are contradictions those that want to fill beds and luge wasbush was looking to fill -- >> to release them in maximum
10:24 am
security -- hold them in maximum security but no one wants a known terrorist in their backyard and that's the problem when it comes to holding these terrorists in american facilities and yet when we say we want to put them through our courts, we release five hardcore terrorists in exchange for bowe bergdahl and those guys never went through our court system. >> we're not trying and nor is the administration seeking to go through the court system. they are in the process as you alluded to of releasing what they have already, 121 prisoners. there are still 121 left. >> what about the person who served his time and was released and went back to the middle east to fight with terror groups. >> we should not have these people on our soil. a lot of security advisers and a lot of security policy folks said that if they're on our soil, if they're in our prisons, we could probably have more terrorist attacks. keep them contained. another argument is the fact that it's costing too much
10:25 am
money. close down the soccer field. close down the areas where they have their food and eat in their cells and not give them a special menu. let's treat them like we treat people in our super prisons. >> they're not coming on u.s. soil. they're going to other countries. >> i have to end it there. we're out of time. good good to see both of you. appreciate it. coming up next, a west coast waterway standoff. up next, why this could be costing you billions of dollars. plus, we have seen some relief at the pump but times are a changing. why you'll be spending more to fill up your gas tank.

empty shelves at your stores and supermarkets. this news comes after months of labor tensions between shippers and dockworkers which shippers say led to long-term backup at the port. will carr has more on the story from l.a. what can you tell us? >> this could put a big dent into the regional and impact those imported goods that you buy on a regular basis. west coast ports make up nearly half of the maritime imports across the united states according to pacific maritime association, the ports support 9 million jobs and contribute $2 trillion to the annual economy. there's a lot at stake here. according to bma, the union has been slowing down work creating gridlock at the ports on purpose for months as a tactic to leverage negotiations over pay intention. the union on the other hand says that's not true providing pictures showing the ports that
10:31 am
don't appear to be congested. admits back and forth. they offered 3% pay increases and fully paid healthcare but negotiations fell through announcing the loading and unloading will be suspended until monday. >> these slowdowns will have the same result as a worker strike except that workers are getting a paycheck. the slowdowns need to stop. the terminals cannot withstand anymore. >> this is a shocking development to have the companies close the ports down on the weekend in the middle of this congestion mess that's been affecting customers for the better part of 2014 really is a real blow. >> there are some estimates the shutdown could cost 1 billion to $2 billion a day but big surprise both sides don't seem to agree on that number. >> the standoff conditions. all right. thank you very much.

gas prices have turned the law on its head. this week what went down and way down now went up. aaa's national average for a gallon of regular gas is now $2.17. that's a 12 cent increase from this time last week. why are gas prices headed north and how high will they go? michael seymour joins us now. start with this, are good times over? >> i don't think so. not just yet. i think that when you look at the fundamentals and where gas is, let's remember the high of last year was $3.70. even back in december it was over $2.50 a gallon. the fact that it's in the 2.15 range now, i don't think so. it's got to go a long way back to that 3.70 back in april and there are some fundamental differences right now that will keep us below $3 at least for
10:33 am
the next six months. >> 70% of the cost of a gallon of gas is the cost of crude oil. we have a chart of the fall of the price in crude oil. at one time it was well over $100 a barrel. then it was at about 100. you see it at 107 the high and then it crashed. in the past week it's gone up a bit. is this a dead cat bounce or do you have a situation where people are trying to capitalize on the really low prices? >> i think you have some fundamentals in play that are much more than just production and oil supplies. let's remember that oil is a commodity just like corn or wheat and people can speculate. they can make investments based on if they think the price is going to go up or go down. they do this in the commodities future market. most of us are familiar when we buy an investment and we're going to bet it will go up. when oil got to that high level
10:34 am
of over $100 a barrel, many people started to place bets that the price of oil would go down and as that price of oil started to go down, their investment would increase in value and since this occurred over a much longer period of time more and more people jumped into that speculation in the price of oil dropping. so you had a whole lot of money and remember, the markets are fairly simple. things go down when people -- when there's more sellers than buyers. prices go up when there's more buyers than sellers. in this case, you had a lot more people selling oil betting on the price that would go down and i think that drove it down a lot further and what you're saying about the dead cat bounce, as you so rightly pointed out, if something started at $100 and you sold it there and it goes
10:35 am
down to 50 chances are you're going to want to take some of that profit and as you buy to cover your position then that's where you saw the spikes last week. >> people have to cover their contract and those kind of things. you don't want to be a texas oil man. there's a lot of oil rigs down and production issues they're having to try to cover their costs as the price continues to drop. michael seymour, appreciate your time and analysis as you explain this. coming up later in the show, some surprising news about the intelligence and emotions of babies. what they may already know before they even begin to walk or talk. you'll hear about new research that shows us they may be socially savvy before their first birthday. also some cool new images from nasa. we'll tell you what was the mysterious dark side of the moon.

right now. even before they can walk and talk babies like to see those who do wrong actually punished and they have sympathy for victims of bullies. that's according to new research out by the university of missouri. part of that study is on your screen. the top half shows what the infant is seeing and the bottom half is the child's reaction. the ph.d. candidate leading the study are joining us now. welcome. >> thank you. >> this is very interesting. it actually shows that these babies have emotions and are socially savvy. can you tell us more about the
10:48 am
study? >> our study shows that even at 13 months, babies can use their understanding about others perspectives and their social skills to understand complicated social situations. >> okay. so the parents generously volunteered to bring their babies to the lab and then the babies sat on parents' lap and we performed puppet show for them. the babies cannot talk so we measure their looking times to gauge their understanding. >> how did you actually determine that they are aware of someone actually doing wrong and actually having sympathy for a person who might be a victim of a bully? did the puppets provide that information to you? >> actually i told you before
10:49 am
that we measure a baby's looking time. it's an expectation thing. things that are common or expected are boring and babies typically look away but things unexpected or unusual, however they are interested and babies tend to look longer. so we measure looking time to compare the two events and see whether they can understand and have expectations about these events. >> what can you tell in terms of differences in the way they look? >> we measure how long they look so if things are unexpected they how long they look. so things that are unexpected they spend longer time looking at it. and then in the first part, when we showed it, there were two puppets who interacted positively and the second part we introduced a third puppet who got hit by one of the first two. i mean, the third part we looked
10:50 am
at how these -- in the second part we created different scenarios. in the third part we looked at how these different scenarios would change interactions between the two puppets. >> let me ask you ladies -- both of you though, in terms of overall findings what do we come away with from your study and what was the most surprising aspect to this study as you monitored these infants? doctor? >> we -- well, our study shows that babies can understand complicated social situations and we don't want to use the term such as victim or bullied because in our study we had -- one element was we showed a singular event in which one puppet hit another. and bullying to us is a persistent behavioral pattern so i don't think our study is about
10:51 am
bullying but future research can tell us more about it. so our study shows that babies can keep track of who knows about -- who knows what about whom to make sense of. social interaction that are happening around them. >> well, very interesting, ladies. thank you for joining us, i appreciate it. >> thank you. all right. coming up next your twitter responses, plus the dark side of the moon. no, we're not talking about the song. we'll show you the amazing images from a rarely seen part of space. and a very touching tribute, some of the biggest stars in show business and a former president taking time to honor a music legend. that story coming up after the break. ♪

56-year-old's james robertson's car broke down ten years ago, and he couldn't afford to fix it. so he decided to walk. news of the commute spread and he was absolutely surprised with a brand new car from a local dealership who heard about his story. and funds were also raised from a number of well-wishers across the globe. he actually appeared this morning with one of his supporters on "fox & friends." listen. >> you know, at times when i was thinking that sometimes i didn't want to go on but then a voice in me said leave it alone. because your girlfriend don't want to hear about it, your boss don't want to hear about it. your friends don't want to hear about it and you have to go out and do it the next day. so you know i just go ahead and keep on doing it no matter what. >> a great guy. robertson never missed a day of work and the support has been overwhelming that more than 300,000 dollars has been donated to him so far because folks just wanted to help him out because they really believed in him and

thought, you know, he was just doing the right thing. great american. >> well, he was doing the right thing. somebody else who is doing the right thing as well. this is how the detroit newspaper heard about this story. there was a man who was pick him up occasionally. >> right. >> he was a banker and he would pick him up occasionally and give him a ride to and from work. that's how the detroit free press then heard about the story and then it's become a national story. pretty cool to think about pulling up next to some guy who is walking to work and realizing he's not miss addae of work in that many years. >> good for him. all the best. and before we leave you we'll bring you some more music from ricky scaggs who will play us out to the break. thank you so much for joining us here in d.c.
