3:02 am
call it what it is. here is john kerry on battling violent extremism. see if you can spot the missing word. play along at home. second major test facing the united states, europe, and the entire civilized world today is, of course, the rise of violent extremism. today we are witnessing nothing more than a form of criminal anarchy anarchy. criminal anarchy. which ill legitimately claims an ideological and religious foundation. against this enemy make no mistake, we are increasingly organizing and fighting back effectively and we must. the world cannot and will not cower in the face of this extremism. >> really? he's tout the success of our fight against isis. and you have john mccain saying
3:03 am
we're not winning this war. we're losing this war. he said the strategy is not viable. what do you think? >> if you want to know why we're losing the war, what the secretary of state just said. it's particulars. it is extreme, it is violent, it is an aric, it is a disaster. none of that adds to the real problem. it's religious. that's the problem. people don't lay down their own lives. they don't blow themselves up for the sake of profit. they do it for religion. >> at what measure he said we're increasingly and effectively fighting back like we must. what metric are we measuring that success? large swaths have gone back to isis. the beheadings. we see the jordanian individual lit on fire last week. and this morning the possibility

3:05 am
they were going to do the mission. he was beheaded as a result. she's saying that america and our administration is failing our kids troops and failed her son. >> it's interesting to know what the parents of a lot of these hostages make of the white house's unwillingness to recognize the threat for what it is and that's a religious threat. it doesn't mean that all muslims are behind it. of course they're not. no one is impugning the world's muslim population. these are religious extremisms. >> whether or not we should negotiate with terrorists. others have uponponied up money. we talked with lieutenant peters who said it's a large moral decision. we can't negotiate with terrorists because it will invite more hostages. >> just be honest here, everybody else does. >> right. >> american organizations pay ransoms all the time. they lie about it. other countries pay ransoms all
3:06 am
the time and lie about it. i don't think the u.s. government should be paying off terrorists. i don't. but i understand the frustration of the parents. >> what about beau bergdahl? we did it there. >> let us know your thoughts. we'll read your thoughts coming up a little bit later. let's continue on with the other headlines making news this morning. fox news alert. three people shot and sent running for their lives after a gunman opened fire at the macy's store at the crowd the pittsburgh mall. two victims are fighting for their lives. shoppers still shake up. describing the scene as a total chaos. >> i grabbed my children, my husband, we started screaming, go! >> people were scatting about screaming. it was crazy and confusing. >> clayton telling me he worked in the mall. >> i used to work in the mall. >> police locked down the mall

higher elevations. the berkshires, cat skills. boston has had about 5 feet of snow. in the last week and a half another foot or so. thank you, rick. let's go out west. let's go to california where the news business the heart of a lot of crazy stories. it's usually florida and sometimes california but california is right now is where parents are getting ready to hold measles parties. they have chosen to not vaccinate, so instead they thought they would mix them with other kids who have contracted measles. mix them up. build up their immune system a little bit so they won't have to worry about getting measles. >> they say the injection is injecting your kid with measles. you might as well put them in a party so you don't have to worry about the mercury and the shots
3:11 am
and the chance, possibly of autism. >> like the chickenpox parties. >> you said it's happening in a richest places in the united states. one of the only places where something like this happens. it's not happening in bangor, maine. it's happening in a rich, liberal decadent police. people who take for granted vaccinations. >> in places like portland oregon as well. >> we asked a bunch of parents what they thought about the vaccine parties. take a listen. >> can't predict it. can't put them in a bubble. >> when i had my daughter who was 21 when she was younger i had found out that somebody had the chickenpox and i was like great, let's get them over with! not realizing that you can get shingles now. i would have vaccinated her knowing that.
3:12 am
>> i would be like come over and let's have the disease to get it over with! >> not worth it when you tell the little kid don't scratch yourself. i would rather them have the vaccination. >> yeah. >> probably better to go to the doctor before you rush over to a neighbor turk lo sis. >> it can be very serious. >> that's why we vaccinate against it. >> absolutely! >> small kids getting brain damage as a result of contracting the disease. we want to know your thoughts. go to facebook. would you let your child go to a measles party? >> i have a feeling i know what you're going to say. coming up. the white house secretly hands out 5 1/2 work permits to ill legals. did anyone consult you before it happened? one mother's lawsuit to ban youth football for everyone.

♪ by 1914 the dodge brothers quit the ford motor company and set out on their own. they believed in more, than the assembly line. they believed driving was a holy endeavor. a hundred years later,
3:16 am
the dodge brothers spirit lives on. fox news alert this morning. newly uncovered information reveals that the obama administration has issued 5.5 million work permits to noncitizens without getting approval from congress. now republicans are calling for an investigation. joining us now is entrepreneur and film maker dennis michael lynch. he's done three films on national security and the american worker. he joins us live. it's good to see you. good to see you. >> over 5 million people here illegally or don't have green cards now have work permits thanks to the obama administration. congress never knew. how can it happen? >> congress doesn't know much about what is going on, right. it's part of obama's plan. he said he was going to
3:17 am
fundamentally transform the country. i've been saying it for years he was going to be for immigration. he gives out work permits and gets their loyalty. as he does that, all the workers coming in depresses the wages for the middle class and the poor. they can never move forward. the middle class starts to need the entitlements. look where we are now. we have 103 million people collecting some sort of welfare. we have 110 million people working full-time. the numbers continue to go like this. when they switch she owns the nation. it's a one-party nation forever. >> how can the president say i care about working americans. and i care about middle class wage stagnation and statement depress middle class wages by letting in millions of low-skilled workers. >> we said this before we came
3:18 am
on. anybody that hands out that many visa visas. you cannot make a claim you care about the american worker. this crushes the american worker. the people watching now have been wondering why they can't get raises or find a job. this is it here. >> the left used to care about wages. what do people who are not rich care about most? wages. and the left used to claim we're on your side. >> we care about elections. obama is effective in what he's doing. it's part of the big plan. look, you have a middle class person. if they're working and they don't want government. they'll usually turn around and vote republican. now when they need to defend their entitlement. he's slowly but surely making good people depend on the entitlements. what are they going to do? vote to protect the entitlements. that's why. he doesn't care about the midterm elections needs to make sure he hands over his program to the next democrat for president. he's doing everything he can. the other thing that scares me,
3:19 am
when you look at the 5.5 million permits he handed out. that's a gateway to a driver's license or further documentation. that's massive problem when it comes to national security. because if you read the 9/11 report, the commission report, it says that the number one way to ensure another 9/11 is start handing out documents. if you look at the people who got the 5.5 million permits, 25,000 of them right -- 50 of them were suspected for document fraud. a thousand of them were stowaways. 25,000 are patrolees. so we're giving these documents to people we don't know who they are. if we do know them they're criminals. >> once you have a document, of course, you're in the system. congress not consulted. is the president -- without asking congress' permission? >> that's what he's doing. i don't see anybody stepping up.
3:20 am
the only way to solve this is these people have to go home. if there is one golden nugget he's making it easier to find the people because you can trace the documentation. the next president has to say i'm sending them home. >> i don't think it will happen. >> yes it will with the right president. coming up the number one issue in president obama's private meeting with muslim leaders was not radical islam. it was islam phobia in america. it was america's sins. not the sins of the islamic world. is that the biggest problem in the world? convicted for killing his ex-girlfriend but he may get a second chance at freedom. an update. stay tuned.
3:21 am
3:22 am
3:23 am
3:24 am
good morning. quick headlines. the irs under fire again. newly revealed e-mails showing the agency waited a month before letting an employee testify at a trial about targeting conservative groups. even though that employee was completely willing to cooperate with the investigators. and officials in texas are ramping up security as chris kyle's accused murder prepailres for his trim date on wednesday. they're setting up road closures, security around the courthouse. prosecutors are seeking a life sentence without parole for ralph. secretary of state john kerry talking terror with world leaders a few minutes ago. he left out one important word islamic. >> the second major test facing
3:25 am
the united states europe, and the entire civilized world is of course the violent extremism. >> should the administration call it what it is? here to debate is the president of the american forum for democracy and author of the "battle for the soul of islam." civil rights attorney and practiceing muslim. nice to see you this morning. >> thank you. >> nice to be with you. >> doctor, i want to get your take on john kerry's statements leaving out the word islamic when speaking to the leaders. were you surprised? >> no. because if you look at what the greatest obstacle in the world is right now to getting modern muslims who want to reform to engage the ideology is the administration and the free will who will not identify the problem. phobia is a irrational fear of the unknown. you can't address with what we're dealing with unless you know. that's political islam.
3:26 am
if you want muslim to take -- people are going to get more and more fearful because nobody identifies it. >> do you disagree? >> skof course i disagree. secretary of kerry is being smart about this. we are all in this together. we have to make sure muslim countries collaborate with us and fight against extremism and groups like isis and taliban and groups like boko haram. if you go around bashing their religion, their faith. how would they go to the people and get the support they need to fight against these people? i think, also, secretary kerry and president obama have been sensitive to the very fact that islam-bashing in america specifically has been on the rise because of people like the other end of this conversation because they're spreading lies about 1.7 billion muslims. >> that is absurd.
3:27 am
i'm sorry. >> with we have to be careful about the conversation. american muslims are facing hatred from the left bigots like bobby jindal and michael moore. to be very clear -- >> custom. >> president obama is being clear when he said on the prayer breakfast that, you know, no one is above any other religion. no one should get on the high horse. [ talking over each other ] >> he's on tv 24/7 making his absurd point. >> this is the way it works in middle east? the bottom line is the ideology -- >> i'm from the middle east. i'm an american. >> if there's a reason that islam phobia is because they don't see you addressing the
3:28 am
boko haram, the taliban, the radicalist radicalists. [ talking over each other ] >> hold on. one at a time. doctor, finish your thoughts sthoughts. >> his denial is causing an inability to address the ideology. why? because he doesn't want to admit that political islam, which has a major nonvie lenlt element is the source of the radicalism. it's the supremism that infuses groups and they they want to call muslims like me faith bigot bigots. they want to suppress free speech and with reformers because they don't want to deal with the real truth that that is what is causing the radicalization radicalization. >> all you do is take money from islam phones sphones and fund your
3:29 am
organization. how dare you -- [ talking over each other ] >> i want to know if malala signed off on that. you stole her picture. that's the kind of person you are. [ talking over each other ] >> we can continue the debate online on our facebook page. you can go back and forth all morning long if you want. grab some coffee. >> why don't you ask -- to have a real debate with me on your show. >> gentleman, thank you. >> i'm an american. >> it's 6:30 in the morning. we appreciate it. go to facebook. you awake now? don't need the coffee. we'll have more "fox & friends" in a few moments.
3:30 am
wiping out isis? we'll have the debate when we come back. at rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda.
3:31 am
3:32 am
3:33 am
well, let's get to the headlines this morning. a fox news alert. a mother of four accused of aiding isis. we're learning more about how she did it. the 34-year-old boss knee began native making her first appearance at federal government in chicago. officials say she helped send military equipment to militants
3:34 am
in syria and iraq and used western union and paypal to send the money. five others are facing charges using e-mails phone, and facebook to communicate with the terrorists. a convicted murder is getting a cans to appeal his case. he's currently serving a life sentence in maryland for killing his ex-girlfriend in 1999. but he mains he didn't do it and said his lawyers botched his case by ignoring a key witness and never asking for a plea deal. the flaws highlighted in a pod cast. a search to find a texas man who vanished at the grand canyon one week ago. 21-year-old drake cramer last seen checking out a hotel near the national park. officials believe he was going out for a hike. he's an experienced outdoors said the family. if you have any information call the national park service.
3:35 am
there's the line at the bottom of the screen. last week's super bowl was watched by more than 114 million americans. but one mom wants to abolish tackle football for kids everywhere. debra said her son suffered from a form of dementia due to concussions. he committed suicide at the age of 25 and she's suing pop warner for. millions of damages. she hopes her lawsuit will stop young children from playing football all together. what would you think about that? zbl>> i know someone that -- there he is! >> especially at 6:30 in the morning. everything is firing perfectly. >> right. >> so much so i forgot my coat. >> it's warmer! >> i have a pink one. >> thank you. it is warmer. it's 36 degrees on the
3:36 am
temperature meter over there which is a far improvement from where we've been the last couple of changes. it will change. here is current temperatures across the country this morning. the real cold area is the northern area of maine. 35 in chicago, 51 in kansas city. we're looking pretty good overall. and your forecast for the day today. we have series of storms that will impact upstate new york and new england. the total of the storms will bring over a foot of snow to spots including boston, providence hartford, connecticut. some of the areas may be up to 2 feet of snow. we'll watch that closely. but you notice the temperatures warming up in the mid atlantic. the southeast looking at a spectacular day. southern plains 75 today with sunshine in ab lean. going toward the northern plains dealing with an incredible day. 60 degrees in nebraska and out across the west rain in
3:37 am
california. they need it. that's good news ultimately. back to you. >> thank you. a fox news alert. after suspending support, the united arab em rates sending f-16s to jordan to help step up the air strikes on isis. >> where is the united states? does jordan have enough fire power? they asked former pentagon spokesman to join us this morning. >> hello. >> do they have enough fire power in the region to get the job done? >> well, jordan has a lot of fire power. they have f-16s and they have a very good intelligence network. they know what if going on in iraq and syria. they're a valuable part of the coalition and they're going to keep stepping it up until isis is hopefully destroyed. >> jd, jordan is stepping up the air strikes. the uae sending in the skraud rons. king abdullah said we're going to fight until we run out of
3:38 am
bullets. where is the u.s.? >> the white house is very supportive of jordan stepping up the air campaign, of course. the white house could have done a better job supporting jordan along. jordan wants the predator drones last year. the state department denied them because it wasn't a close enough ally. if you peel it back a little bit. why? it's been a lot of unrest. they have boycotted elections. they were protesting for the arab spring. they want to get their leaders out of jail. however, the muslim brotherhood is very strong in washington. that lobbies strong. if you had one plus one it's two. i hope the congress and the american people start asking the tough questions. >> secretary of state john kerry in a address to the german parliament said the united states is winning in the war against isis. all of us want to believe that. tell us how we know it is true. what is the hallmark of success. when we know we've won >>well, when isis is destroyed.
3:39 am
we're a long way from that now. we're certainly making progress with the air strikes. their income is down by about half. isis was making a million a delayday. they have lost about six million fighters. by secretary kerry failing to mention radical islam. that sets up for failure. >> the obama administration pointed to guantanamo bay as a tool for propaganda in the war on terror. by closing guantanamo bay we can, of course i don't know somehow eliminate the terrorists. i'm not sure if i follow that. senator tom cotton confronted d.o.d. officials over the exact argument. give us a history lesson. i want your response. >> 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 they are.
3:40 am
it's a political decision based on promise the president made on his campaign. to scare say it is a secure decision based on propaganda value is a pretext to justify a political decision. in my opinion the only problem is there are too many empty beds and cells there. we should be sending more terrorists there for further interrogation to keep the country safe. as far as i'm concerned everlast one of them can rot in hell. if they can't do that they can rot in guantanamo bay. >> i'm glad he said it. i'm glad he's getting a lot of attention. they attacked the united states since the 1970s under every president. none of the presidents have had a good strategy to stop it. the worst was obama and cater. >> can i ask a question? it's been a problem with guantanamo bay people serve there at the discretion of the president.
3:41 am
why not put them in a real prison? in levinworth. >> that's a great point. we need tougher laws. under the current u.s. laws if the gitmo day containees went to the united states a lot of judges would free them. we didn't have battle field detectives running after them. it's an excellent point but we need a new law. unless we have a new law or the war ends against us gitmo has to remain open until that day otherwise risk another 9/11. >> what can we expect to see here? will it close? >> i don't think it will close under president obama. here is what could be his secret. he could give guantanamo back to the cubans. you could have the cubans and na narco terrorists running it. i think we can take a careful look at that and make sure he downtown it. >> j.d. joining us live.
3:42 am

3:44 am
3:45 am
how would you feel if your 9-year-old got lessons on black panthers amnesty for illegals, and police brutality. now you can. these are included in the fourth grader wake county school district? north carolina. here to share examples editor in chief. >> good morning. >> are you surprised by this? >> i am surprised by this. the days of fourth graders reading charlie in the chocolate factory or james in the giant peach. one crazy summer is a book that the fourth graders are required
3:46 am
to read in north carolina and it is like the debby downer of homework. >> let me give you this -- i'll read a quote for you. offer a story time for you this morning. here is a quote from "one crazy summer." >> yeah. it's absolutely outrageous. i mean, this is a story about three daughters who think they're going meet their negligent mother and she's going to take them to disney land and they're going to meet tinker bell. i think stead nay, instead they go to a black panther camp. kids in the fourth grade need to be taught, you know, things that encourage creativity or drive that love for reading. and the way to do that is more encouraging texts not a texts
3:47 am
that are discussing police brutality and the evil racism that is america. >> that also historicallyy -- another book is basically a propaganda piece of literature. and migrant workers are striking. here is how it's described. can what is funny about this is cesar chavez farmworkers hated ill legal immigration. >> it's not historically
3:48 am
accurate. it also remains consistent with the theme that these fourth graders are picking up. that the police are good for one -- two things. shoot you as in the case over the summer or they're going to deport you whether you're illegal or not. as we're seeing at the leadership institute campus educators are cap losing on opportunities to use students to advance political narratives. in california, they are trying to teach consensual sex education courses to k through 12. so kirnt guarders in would be subject to that. classes that continually beat into their heads the idea that police are nothing but racists. that are going to shoot or deport you. it's madness. >> thank you. we appreciate you joining us. we reached out to the school district for a comment but we did not hear back. thank you, caleb.
3:49 am
>> thank you. it. a new study says just as many people believe in the bible. there's no proof but the next guest has proof. tonight's grammys could be considered racist? how does work? my name is daniel. i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain felt like my feet were on fire. i had these very burning needle-like sensations. i knew i needed to see a doctor. my doctor said, "let's try lyrica." lyrica has helped relieve my pain. it's known that diabetes damages nerves lyrica is fda-approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone. it may cause serious allergic reactions, or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters,
3:50 am
changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever tired feeling, or skin sores from diabetes. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. having less pain... it's a great feeling. ask your doctor about lyrica today. it's specific treatment for diabetic nerve pain.

3:52 am
considered the most influential book in history. an estimated 25 million copies of the bible are still sold every year. kept schism is on the rise. in a recent poll those
3:53 am
questioning the bible stands equal with those who believe the bible and two-thirds of the people 48 and under say they're doubters. what is behind the rising tide of the cynicism? we'll ask dr. john nicholson. why did you write this book? >> to give them an overview of the bible that along the way addresses the serious doubts. >> that's excellent. what are some of these doubts that the majority of the people you talk to have? >> well, a lot of people say the bienl has been used as a tool of oppression and slavery and violence through the centuries. and indeed. i think part of the answer is, yes, it has been used in this way. the interesting thing is that these are universals of human culture. you don't need the bible to have
3:54 am
war, violence, and slavery. the more interesting question i think, is what has the bible uniquely inspired in western culture? and historians would generally agree that the bible gave to western culture the tradition of charities for the poor, love of enemy, human rights. these things didn't come from greece and rome. they came from the influence of the bible. >> you know i hear a lot of people saying you can't prove it. did someone get swallowed bay noaa build the ark? >> i think there's probably less evidence than the average devout christian would hope for. but way more evidence than our average atheist friends would ever imagine especially around the figure of jesus. the study of the historical

je in serious universities around the world is a giant topic. the evidence is overwhelming. we can know an awful lot about it. it includes the reports in the gospels. i teach in two secular universals in australia. and the gospel are part of the historical text you have to study to understand the ancient figure. >> i hear the question a lot. why is there so much bad. why does god allow bad things to happen to good people and there's so much suffering in the world. you dedicate a whole chapter in your book. >> it's hard to respond, isn't it? i think the first is to acknowledge it's a real problem. and i think every thoughtful person is going to be asking this. the bible does offer some explanation of the origin of evil. it does offer a glorious picture of the resolution of evil. but the most important thing the bible features about this problem is that uniquely god in
3:56 am
the bible has entered into the world in jesus. suffered injustice and injury and a final breath on the cross. that means that the god we bring our doubts to our questions is a god who is near us loves us, who is tender. who has experienced pain himself. you know, when my 9-year-old girl bruises her knee and runs to me. it's not what is the origin of evil? she wants to know that i've got her. i'm tender that i understand. and we have that picture of god. >> yeah, we do. it reminds me of the footprints poem of god carrying us on the beach when we're going through the roughest times. thank you so much. what a wonderful message. what a wonderful message, doctor dickinson. thank you for your perspective. vice president joe biden, the latest democrat to give

good morning. it's sunday february 8th. moments ago secretary of state john kerry talking terror with world leaders. he left out one important word "islamic." >> the second major test facing the united states, europe, indeed, the entire civilized world today of course is the rise of violent extremism. plus, why he thinks isis is on the run. developing this morning jordan launches another round of air strikes on isis. this is the third day in a row and now we're hearing from the parents of the u.s. aid worker allegedly killed in the strikes. why her parents are holding out hope she's still alive.
4:01 am
first it was the oscars now critics tonight's grammy awards could be considered racist because of iggyzalea. how does that work? frox and friends hour two. good morning. we're glad you're here. >> it's good to be here. thank you for watching us. we'll get the weather report. it's a little bit warmer and we could see another foot of snow. the cold winds of news glows blue the strud owe. violent extremism. that's the word from secretary of state john kerry. he address the the security council about the threat of isis and related group s.
4:02 am
>> the second major task facing the united states, europe, and the entire civilized world today is, of course, the rise of violent extremism. today we are witnessing nothing more than a form of criminal anarchy. criminal anarchy. which ill legitimately claims an ideological and religious foundation. against this enemy, make no mistake, we are increasingly organizing and fighting back effectively and we must. the world cannot and will not cower in the face of this extremism. why are people getting killed and beheaded. why are men being burned alive? >> why are large swaths of iraq back in control of the terrorism. we saw a huge bombing in baghdad.
4:03 am
over 30 people killed as a result. he said there was huge problem with not calling it islamic icic extremism. listen. because if you look at what the greatest obstacle in the world is right now to getting modern muslims who want to reform to engage the ideology is the administration and the free will who will not identify the problem. phobia is a irrational fear of the unknown. you can't address with what we're dealing with unless you know. that's political islam. if you want muslim to take -- -- take ownership call it police officer islam so we can engage reformation. people are going to get more and more fearful because nobody identifies it. >> if you misdiagnose the problem -- he's a physician, by the way. if you misdiagnose the problem you can't cure it. if you refer to something as a virus and it's a bacterial infection you can't adequately attack it.
4:04 am
why would people blow themselves up, die voluntarily for a criminal enterprise? >> they never have and never do. they do it for one reason. they think it's going to be rewarded in the afterlife. it's a hugely different thing than a criminal enterprise. another big story we're following this morning is kayla new ler. the aid worker in the middle east, of course, and thought to have perhaps been killed by an air strike. that's what isis is saying. that u.s. air strikes killed this u.s. aid worker in syria who was kidnapped two years ago. her parents know at this hour holding out hope and trying to find proof of life. pushing the united states government to do whatever it can to find out if she's alive. and after her parents made that announcement saying they're holding out hope. we heard from dianna foley, james foley's mother. he was one of the guys who was beheaded. he's a journalist who was
4:05 am
fighting over in the middle east. he was held hostage. his mom is saying maybe they were held together. but she's saying the administration has let her down. listen to the sound byte we have from her. >> kayla along with our son and others were held for two years, and there were many opportunities along the way. and yet nothing was done to save our young americans. >> it has to be frustrating. a number of hostages by isis has been released. news organizations routinely pay ransoms for hostages. they lie about it. foreign countries lie about it but do. you have to feel for the parents. >> there was a rescue mission that was set up right and the white house said hold on. let's we're note ready to do
4:06 am
this. they held off for another month and her son was killed. she said she lost her son as a result. >> they are saying they don't want the rescues. they want to negotiate. they want their little girl back. where do you fall on the issue? here is other headlines this morning. we start with the fox news alert. police arresting a 17-year-old man in connection with a shooting at the crowded pittsburgh mall. three people shot when the gunman opened fire in the macy's store. two of the victims fighting for their lives. police are revealing one was targeted in the attack. shoppers are shake up of course, describing the scene as a total chaos. >> i grabbed my children, my husband, we started screaming, go! >> people were scatting about screaming. it was crazy and confusing. 17-year-old arrested this
4:07 am
morning facing adult charges including attempted homicide. reality star bruce jenner is involved in a deadly car crash. now police are looking into whether the former olympian was using his phone before the impact. tmz captured the moment split seconds after the 65-year-old rear ended a white lexus. it pushed the car into oncoming traffic where it was hit head by on by a hummer. jenner was given a field sobriety test and he passed. police are reviewing phone records. >> it appears to be holding a cell phone. we don't know if he was on the phone while driving if that photograph was taken after the accident or what. >> jenner also claims that he was being followed by the press but police say that was not the cause of the crash. and nbc's brian williams is taking himself off the air for now. telling his staff quote, in the mist of a career spent covering news it's become painfully aware that i'm presently too much a part of my news as a result of my election. nbc news is looking into
4:08 am
william's false statement. the bad news you didn't wake up $380 million richer this morning. the good news neither did anyone else. lottery officials say there is no jackpot winner in the latest powerball drawing. that means wednesday's jackpot climbs to $450 million. the largest jackpot in nearly a year. all you need to win is $2. >> but you won't win. if you want money you have to work for it. extreme weather alert. no rest for the winter weary in new england. another storm taking aim at the northeast. some areas could see up to a foot of snow. we're tracking it all with rick. >> you can hire somebody to shovel the snow if you win the lottery. >> once again, you won't. if you do it will wreck your
4:09 am
life. >> true words. more snow coming across parts of new england and upstate new york. it's going to be pretty heavy by the time it's said and done. we have the snow until around tuesday. it's a slow pile up. winter storm warnings in effect all the way across upstate new york and much of new england and across the southern tier of this we're talking about potential icing across places like new york city, possibly mixing with a little bit of snow and rain from time to time. but monday night into tuesday morning a rough commute. tomorrow morning however, across new england we're talking about the rough commute. and by the time it's done we're going to be talking about significant accumulations. especially throughout parts of vermont and massachusetts. great news for the ski resorts. they would love to get the snow. it's great for business and tourism. that's a good thing. but boston as you're heading to school and work we'll be talking
4:10 am
about a pretty rough morning. >> thank you rick. apparently everything is about racism. or everything has the potential to be racist if you listen to the media and some columnists like the washington post this morning. remember the oscars being racist because there weren't enough black actors or best picture nominees or drektders? tonight's grammys are apparently too racist as well. >> or too white. >> too white. >> because last year mack will more, the rap group. i like his music. they won album of the year. this year who is up for that? is iggy azalea. here she is. anyway. she sings that song "fancy." you know the song. >> what they're complaining about it's not rap. which, you know, it's up for
4:11 am
debate, i guess. but she can't be in a rap category because she's white. she's up for best new artist right? she's the person they nominee nated for four albums. >> even though she sold so many albums. it's one of the number one songs this year. >> i'll tell you what is beyond debate. totally. this is a stupid and frivolous argument. the black unemployment rate is high nest my life. it's a tragedy. nobody mention it is. instead it's about the debate about the oscars. who cares? and the grammys? who cares! >> that is not -- if you really do care about helping people advance this is not the debate you should be having. it's a ridiculous debate. >> if we want to have a stupid argument i'll bring it black to blondie from 1980. think about it. the first rap song ever to hit number one.
4:12 am
♪ ♪ blondie is obviously a white woman. >> but people who say my job is to help out this or that ethnic group. if you're measuring success in the number of grammys or oscars people of a certain skin color that's insane. that's childish. >> right. >> who cares. >> that's why you have to pay attention. >> here is the thing, aren't the votes the votes. if you have a committee set up to vote who is going to be nominated? the votes are the votes. maybe that committee needs to be more diverse. f that's what they're interested in. send us your comments. >> if you're on the committee, call me. >> coming up. first now president obama and now joe biden will skip a meeting with benjamin netanyahu. is the u.s. playing politics with the foreign policy? is it a good idea for him to come? want to make sure your kids are going to class? look no further than your smartphone. r

4:17 am
hurt. but absolutely they're playing politics with foreign policy! look they're falling the precedent laid down by president obama. since the address was announced president obama has gone on a press offensive against netanyahu. and what we've heard recently reports that president obama's national fuel director from twelve2012 is going to tel-aviv to run a grassroots initiative. netanyahu has seen a bump in polls. and democrats are put in a tough spot politically. because they have to decide between standing with the president or supporting israel and standing with groups that support the address. >> all right. ja niece, what do you think? how do you respond? >> i respond it is politics and it is not democrats playing politics. it is republicans in congress playing politics. there is no precedent of this kind of the speaker and the house inviting a fluent leader a
4:18 am
week before the election without at least telling the white house. we know that the ambassador to israel was meeting and saying the department can't -- the day before it was announced and did not alert him that this invitation was coming through. so i think it's cute to say that they're playing politics. they're absolutely playing politics. you don't invite a foreign leader without consulting with the white house. you don't not alert the president of the united states who is our leader regardless of the party. you don't get involved in politics of this kind. we're two weeks away from israeli elections. he's coming to talk about iran which we agree it is a delicate and dangerous proposition. what is going on with the sanctions. let's not fool ourselves of what he's going to talk about and let's not blind ourselves to the fact he's coming two weeks before the election and this is not a coincidence or a mistake. >> lisa, what kind of a message does it send to such a long standing valued ally?
4:19 am
>> send the damaging message. i think for her to say what i think is cute is that president obama is trying to play the press denlt game when he went forward on executive action on amnesty which is unconstitutional but unprecedented. >>the point i'm making -- we're sending a negative message to israel. and the fact remains that a bad deal with iran could have dire consequences for israel. and so i think it is absolutely imperative that both parties hear from a country that could be greatly affected by a bad deal. >> we're running out of time. >> i'm not sure that everybody in israel supports this ss -- we're the most important political strategic ally. i think it's important to know

a raging wild fire destroying 40 homes in eastern california. 150 people and two towns have been evacuated. so far nearly 11 square miles burned. the blaze started friday fuelled by winds up to 75 miles per hour. the cause remains unclear. happening overnight new social worker strikes. oil refineries in ohio and indiana bridge bringing the number of strikeing plants to 11. it's the second day in our national marriage week series. today we take an inside look into military marriages. the spouses our military are hero of course, themselves sacrificing along with their significant others for the safety of our country. joining us is mother, wife financial expert and author of
4:25 am
"heros at home." thank you for joining us. >> thank you. it's great to be here with you. >> marriage seems maybe even greater in response in families where one spouse is fighting america's wars but seems like it presents a whole range of different challenges. maybe it's harder for military families sometimes to stay together. is that true? >> well, it really is. and one of the greatest challenges, of course, are money matters. and one of the reasons that our heros at home financially vent is going on is because financial matters actually impact military readiness. so there's mistakes are greater. as we're going out for the next six months or so we'll be going to air force bases in partnership with our friends at usaa and going to be giving the word about military readiness and the impact it has in terms of financial readiness as women. >> -- well. >> break it down for us.
4:26 am
you don't have your financial base in order then you might have the wrong military base in order. how does it work? >> well, the way it works is fairly simple and straightforward. that is if you can't have your finances in order then sometimes that impacts your ability to have a security clearance. and that can be revoked. >> what are the biggest issues that military marriages face? >> well, it's really hard to handle some of the issues. for example, finances when zwrouryour separated. one of the things i advocate is make use of the technology available. right now i'm getting all kinds of questions about w-2s that are rising. my spouse is stationed somewhere else. or training somewhere else. how do we handle that? one of the recommendations is a free action where you can file simple and complex forms. what i like about things like that the military member can start it. they can click save.
4:27 am
and as the w-2 and the 1099 the spouse can update the information. it's important to have a place where they can be on the same sheet of music. of course, for military members filing state returns, there's a discount available for that as well. it's important to make sure that you're doing things together as much as possible even though you may be separated. >> do you think the service itself do enough to help families like the pentagon? >> i think they're trying to do a lot of things and military families will take advantage of it. for example, we work a lot with the yellow ribbon air force reserve program. military families can fly out to the different location to participate in that. the navy s.e.a.l.s have the resiliency conferences. if the military members will participate in that along with their spouses. i think the resources are there. it's that sometimes military families don't always take advantage of those.
4:28 am
>> i'm curious about marriage at the center of the relationships when you have military men and women serving overseas. how important is it to connect with the families? how important is marriage to the couples? >> i think it's very significant. that is their support base. one of the things i encourage the millennial spouses is what they're doing on social media. it if they're posting things or tweeting or instagram and some of those things may concern their spouse, then that spouse can get distracted. when there's distractions there can be accidents. and when there's accidents there can be loss of life. that's how significant it is for spouses to be able to hold it together while their military member is deployed in harm's way. and what i say is when they come home they get to change the diapers, you go for a mani peddy. it's important to hold it together and support them. >> thank you for your service. you're a hero as well. we appreciate the sacrifices you
4:29 am
and your family have made. we saw the movie american sniper into a glimpse what it's like for a military family. thank you. >> thank you. i appreciate it. president obama compares islamic terrorists to christians a thousands years ago. is that fair or insane? father jonathan morris weighs in next. no boys allowed. sorry. you can't be there. no boys allowed! wait until you hear which justice of the supreme court said it should be a girl's only job. >> we were up for the job.

we need get off our high horse and think it's you knock to some other place. remember during the crusade people committed terrible things in the name of christ. >> that was president obama at the national prayer breakfast comparing modern day terror groups to the crusade. sparking outrage throughout the christian community. why is the white house standing behind the comments? here to discuss this is the fox news religion contributor that we love so much father john morris. >> it's great to be here. i get sad when i hear that. first of all, because what he
4:34 am
said isn't true. >> because it's not true. it's not fair to suggest that the crusades could be compared to burning somebody alive right now in a cage. the crusades -- not that i would defend every action by every person or christian leader, even popes, in the time of the crusades but the comparison? please! ask a historian. i say that to the president with all due respect. it's not a good comparison. it's not true. it's not fair. i said sad because what we need leaders who in moments of great great crisis of having our allies being burned alive and beheaded, have prisoners of war beheaded and we need our leaders
4:35 am
to stand up and say i will not make any analogies or comparisons. we will make sure this stops. >> did you think it was a missed opportunity. you had clergy there, protestant ministers, catholic ministers those from the jewish faith and the muslim faith to talk about the issues. instead it seemed like he was there condemning them. >> i think what he said in the remarks were very good. very, you know perfectly fine. and, of course we're jumping all over this. but when you're the president you have to be careful not to say things that deserve to be jumped on. yes, i think he did miss an opportunity. not to say what he shouldn't have said. >> what would you have liked to hear him say? you don't make these stupid political comments at a prayer breakfast. you invite people to pray. you invite the country to come
4:36 am
back to the core belief and values. so that's what i would have liked. >> the pope is coming to washington. he's going to address congress. i don't know if it's ever happened. >> it's never happened a pope has spoke ton a joint session of congress. what is he going to say? >> what we know for sure is that pope francis doesn't do -- >> why is he going to congress? in it's going to be uncomfortable. he's going make both sides of the aisle very uncomfortable. he's going talk about giving priority and government to take care of those who can't take care of themselves. he's not going to say give out free money. he's going to talk about the protection of life. he's going to talk about the dignity of life. he's going to make all of us very nervous. all of us. >> you're making me nervous. he makes me nervous on a regular basis. because he speaks so
4:37 am
practically. it's not in the sky. he'll talk about principles but he'll get down and turn the screws on all of us. >> i can't wait to hear it. when is that? >> september 24th. >> thank you, father. >> thank you. >> happy sunday morning. >> great to see you. >> congratulations on your new parish. >> thank you. a desperate search to find a texas man who vanish at the grand canyon one week ago. 21-year-old kramer was last seen checking out of a hotel near the national park. officials believe he was going out for a hike. he's an experienced outdoors said the family. if you have any information, call the national park service. there's the line at the bottom of the screen. the irs under fire again.

4:39 am
the app track the phone's location to each class. if the student skips an alert is sent to the parents. it's not free. it's costing up to $215 per yoop year? is it a good idea? >> send me the grades. they don't send the grades because the kids are adults and you don't have a right to their grades. what is that? whoever pays for it that's with the grades should go. it's not the actually works. >> no. >> we didn't get our grades yet, rick. i don't know why. the dean's office is slow this month. >> e-mail us so we can commiserate. i'm mad, too. >> why don't you send your phone to class with your roommates. >> today i'll take my phone. today you take my phone tomorrow i'll take your phone. we're good. >> right. $250 waste. let's talk about weather. not a bad morning at least to

start. no hugely cold air out there except across parts of maine. there's troubles going on. and we're going to be dealing with it across much of new england. latest compute molds are upping upping totals. around boston they'll see a foot and a half to two feet of snow. tomorrow i think the heaviest of the snow but have it starting today. mid atlantic getting into the 50s and 60s. to the southeast we'll see a little bit of cloud cover. another pretty nice day in store. we'll see plenty of sunshine especially texas and oklahoma and comfortable temperatures. take a look what happened across the high plains. into the 60s pushing 70s. another warm day. well above the average. and across the west later on this afternoon more rain moving into northern california. flood and mud slide threat continues. a little bit more snow across the higher elevation in the sierra nevadas. back to you.

4:46 am
i think it's perfectly appropriate when the taxpayer is losing almost a billion dollars per year to fraud in the programs. i think it's perfectly appropriate to require an id. it doesn't have to be a driver's license. it can be any photo id. it can come from the local library or really anywhere as long as you're able to identify yourself as being the person who is =ed for the s.n.a.p. program or the foot stamp. i think it's perfectly appropriate to ensure that the taxpayer is not being defrauded, which is happening now. >> we used to have food stamps and they look like currency. they were different colors. now we have cards. which are more like an atm card. the whole point to make it easier and less shameful for people to use welfare. >> that's correct. and, tucker, for example, let's say were on food stamps ss or i had
4:47 am
an ebt card which enabled me to buy food. let's say you're a convenience store owner. i might have a $500 credit for the month on my card. i can take it to you as the owner of the convenience store i can give you my $500 card and you would give me $250 cash. >> right. >> i might prefer to have the cash. now you have $500 cash you can use. it happens all the time. and certainly i think it's perfectly appropriate to have to say, look if you're going use food sampletamps you need to show an id. >> yeah. and these are big numbers. >> yeah. it's $858 million. i transposed the numbers as a dyslexic sorry.
4:48 am
apparently they don't have photo ids. how do you get food stamps in the first place without the photo id? >> you're making a great point. usually to qualify for food stamps you have to go through a qualification process. whether it's in person or over the phone. you have to identify yourself in some capacity. >> yeah. >> but the challenge is after you get the food stamps you no longer have to be identified when you use them. that's when the cash is available either for the person who has the food stamps or the owner of a convenience store. >> it's absurd. the world where people don't have a photo id and the rest of us need it to duogo to the bathroom. a cyber hack of epic proportion. 800 million have their health records comprised, looked at, stolen. do you know if you're a victim? could you be next? and you're invited to a measles party. the latest trend by parents who

4:52 am
yard. why don't you switch to xfinity home? i get live video monitoring and 24/7 professional monitoring that i can arm and disarm from anywhere. hear ye! the awkward teenage one has arrived!!!! don't be old fashioned. xfinity customers add xfinity home for $29.95 a month for 12 months. plus for a limited time, get a free security camera call 1800 xfinity or visit comcast.com/xfinityhome. are. hack alert. 80 million folks had their personal information comprised after anthem insurance got hacked. what can you do to protect your information? another week another cyber attack. >> not just another cyber attack. 80 million people. we're learning what exactly they got. because you're thinking, okay, fine, i'm an anthem customer. what the big deal? they got your name, your birth
4:53 am
date, social security number they got a bunch of your medical records. the list goes on. and all of these thing in this case got including your home e-mail addresses, your income. it goes on. your address. it leads us to what does it mean? it means you don't know what hackers could do with the information. many times they'll sell it. what you have to do is turn on the radar even more powerfully and start wondering what could possibly happen to us next? >> or hold your information for ransom and demand money and not release the information back. let's go through ways to protect folks. tip one, expect suspicious phone calls. >> phones going to start ringing possibly. your information is now out there. it's tied back to the anthem information where it came from. you could be receiving a phone call from somebody claiming to be from anthem and start asking you some more personal information about yourself to
4:54 am
build the personal record they have on you. so you don't want to take calls from anyone that says they're looking for more information. if it's anthem calling it's unlikely they're going to be asking you for additional information. ask always for a number to call them back at. look up anthem's phone number and make sure it's the same number or ask to be transferred and you'll steer clear. >> you get an e-mail from someone and asks you to click on something you don't recognize it. don't do it. >> don't take can drink strangedy from strangers. don't click on any link. it's likely now with the hack. they have your e hail address. if you see something it's anthem we're checking on this. we want to go and make sure that you logged into your account to verify these particular facts. don't fall for the trap. go open up a web browser type in the regular address you would
4:55 am
reach anthem at or their particular company. go in that way. don't link from the e-mail. >> keep an eye on your medical bills. you could see inflated costs. >> right. you have people that may use your identity to get their own medical treatment or may sell it to someone else. and scrutinize every single medical bill from this point forward. look at the detail. make sure you got that service. >> if you file your taxes early. what does that do? >> it's like what? file my taxes early. why pay the government early? in this particular case once you file it makes it very difficult for someone who wants to file on your behalf. because now they have your income. they have an idea what your tax return may look like. they may file before you claiming you're due a refund and instead the refund goes to their address and they're cashing the check rather than you. >> finally, get the best credit
4:56 am
protection available. >> they're not all the same. many times when the hacks happen, you know, in anthem's case, hats off to them. they were responsive. they were quick. however, they're not necessarily even though they have offered to victims to give you the sort of protection and help clean up your credit. it's not necessarily the best choice. so research who they're offering. look deeper and find out is there a better one i can be using that would work the best? you'll spend about 15 to $18 a month for some of the very good ones. >> good stuff. >> kurt see you next week. thank you so much. coming up nbc news man brian williams taking himself off the air after admitting to lying about his personal tales in iraq. will he lose his anchor seat for good? and the pope sparking controversy. saying okay to spank your kids. what do you think? fair and balanced debate next

5:00 am
the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. good morning. it's sunday, february 8th. i'll filling in for anna this morning. isis burning and hostages alive. john kerry declaring to the world our strategy is working. well are we really winning? we're live in jordan with the latest. then bruce jenner involved in a fatal car accident. authorities want to know if the former olympian and reality star was texting and driving. we'll have it coming up. plus, you're invited to a measles party. parents who won't vaccinate their kids think that is a good idea.
5:01 am

"fox & friends" hour three begins right now. come on into the messasles party this morning. we're going to infect you with the news. >> it's nice to see you! >> any dog -- >> i'm the head of the pro dog caucus here. >> you inspired me for christmas. i got one for christmas. >> batman -- >> oh! does he have batman socks? >> no. there's a cape on it. every man wants to be a super hero. you never grow up! clayton actually is. don't let the love handles fool you. we have a fox news alert. secretary of state john kerry discussing strategy against
5:02 am
isis. days after the terror group emu killed the fighter pilot. >> connor powell joins us live with the latest on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the u.s.-led coalition continues to pound isis in both iraq and syria, jordan. playing a major part in the strikes ever since the brutal killing of jordanian pilot that was killed by isis on january 3rd. the real question is how effective are the jordanian air strikes and the overall coalition air strikes. there isn't a clear picture but the coalition continues to rely on-air strikes as a primary tool for fighting isis. john kerry said the u.s. is making progress against isis. >> we've disrupted their command structure, undermined the
5:03 am
propaganda, taken out half their senior leadership, squeezed its financing, damaged the supply network, dispersed the personnel, and forced them to think twice before they move in an open convoy. we're forcing them to change tactics. >> the u.s.-led coalition is up to more than 60 countries right now. the u.s. is still very much the primary member of the coalition. more arab countries are doing more. the united arab em rates joining the coalition and doing more air strike missions now. and jordan stepping up and other countries will do it as well. whether or not the war against isis is being won is unclear. it's a big picture in iraq. isis is being pushed back out of key areas because of the air strikes supporting the kurdish fighters on the ground and the shy yat malitias doing damage
5:04 am
there. isis is not facing much of a challenge on the ground. back to you. >> thank you. meanwhile, you know isis vows to come to the white house and behead the president of the united states. are we doing enough to go after isis and secretary of state john kerry saying we're winning. by what metric? you ask the question you see the huge bombing in baghdad earlier this week. killed a dozen of individuals. you see the beheadings video. you see people being lit on fire. large swaths of iraq being taken away by isis. you have a retired general john allen on abc news addressing the very issue and whether or not isis is more in control than al qaeda was. he said it's stronger than al qaeda. it's on a whole another level than al qaeda. listen to this. >> isil is at an entirely
5:05 am
different level than al qaeda was. it's better organized. the command and control is better. the situational aware of a broader battle space across the entire region is better. and so we of course have adapted to that as well. i think we should take it very seriously. >> we should. we should take it seriously. i think we're taking it seriously. what we may not be doing is describing the nature of the threat. you saw john kerry describe it as a criminal enterprise. a criminal enterprise can be stopped or at least immobilized by things like sanction. you cut off the money and they give up. people who are motivated by religious extremism who believe they're going to heaven if they kill you will not be stopped by sanctions. st a totally different threat. we don't seem to understand that. it's hard to see we win if we don't know who we're fighting. >> john mccain said we're losing. when you're not winning you're losing he said. king abdullah saying i'm going wipe isis off the planet if it
5:06 am
takes everlasty last bullet. jordan is pleading to send them guns and fuel to send them weapons to fight isis and we're not. >> a former defense department spokesperson said we're far from winning. listen. >> we'll win when isis is destroyed. we're a long way from that now. certainly we're making progress with the air strikes and their income is down by about a half. isis was making about a million a day. now it's half a million. they lost maybe 6,000 fighters. we're making progress. i wouldn't say we're winning my any stretch. for him to failing to mention radical islam that sets us up for failure when we can't identify the enemy. >> all the crazy groups exist in vacuums. they exist in afghanistan after the soviets wrecked everything. they exist in iraq in the
5:07 am
absence of a strong leader. they exist in syria. maybe our goal will be to install strong leaders in the country to keep chaos from breaking out and wackos from taking control. >> that's a thought. >> there's chaos. what will we do to bring stability? that's the question. i don't see anybody addressing that. another headline for the morning. we start with a fox news alert. a few hours ago police arresting a 17-year-old police used social media to identify the guy tarod thornhill. >> i grabbedsband, we started screaming, go! >> people were scatting about screaming. it was crazy and confusing. fg >> clayton telling me he worked in the mall.

5:09 am
>> jenner also claims that he was being followed by the press but police say that was not the cause of the crash. and nbc's brian williams is taking himself off the air for now. telling his staff, quote in the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that i'm presently too much a part of the news due to my actions. nbc news is looking into william's false statement. about being in the helicopter being shot down by enemy fire during the 2003 iraq invasion. those are your headlines. now to an extreme weather alert. another storm taking aim at the northeast and new england. some areas could see up to a foot of snow causing problems for commuters tomorrow. >> there's one person that knows what is going on and he's right here. >> a lot of people in the boston area. they know what is going on out there. they have had so much snow. it stayed cold. it hasn't melted at all.
5:10 am
they have to shovel and it move it. i think we're going see maybe up to 2 neatfeet of snow. winter storm warnings in effect and you see the winter weather advisories for new york city. get ready potentially for snow mixing with rain and a little bit of freezing rain monday night into tuesday as well. we're going to watch it closely. here is where the ski resorts out. i want to point out the one positive side. so much industry with the ski resorts. we're going get a lot of snow. it if you're planning a ski trip or thinking you should it might be a good time to do it this week or next weekend. it's going to be hard for the cities moving in throughout the overnight hours. by tomorrow morning we'll be looking a the snow becoming heavy and i think tomorrow probably the heaviest day for you not until tuesday until it's completely done. so more snow. more snow. february winter. and the pattern we're in doesn't look like it's going to break down.
5:11 am
i can't say there's not more snow. >> so probably until may? >> may, june, july, possibly. >> thank you. >> job security, rick. >> i sent you an invitation to the measles party. did you get it? i wanted to check and see. parents in california are doing that. they're holding measles parties. instead of their getting their kids vaccinates they're having measles parties. hopefully it will build up their immune systems. ideas like vax ss like vaccines are bad are common in the california area by the golden gate bridge. >> they're worried about injecting their kids because of autism risks and the other
5:12 am
risks. mercury. they're worried about mercury. >> the idea is the disease is better than the vaccine against the disease. >> right. >> this is the kind of idea you really have to be, like, a fashionable liberal rich person to believe. wait a second diseases are bad. i don't want my kids to get them. some people are like, oh no diseases aren't as bad as the cure. >> we have nearly wiped them out. you haven't heard about measles or polio for years. we're seeing cases for the first time in a long time as a result. steve wrote on facebook and said exposing your child to a harmful disease should be criminal. >> david writes it's what my parents generation did and i'm still here. >> mary writes people used to ex expose their kids to chickenpox. that makes no sense. until recently measles were eradicated. that's true. >> i'm going have a measles
5:13 am

fox news alert for you. secretary of state john kerry talking terror but refusing to call it islamic extremism. the second major task facing
5:17 am
united states, europe and indeed, the entire civilized world today, of course the rise of violent extremism. what does the administration keep refusing to call islamic extremism islamic extremism? >> that's a good question. we'll ask chris wallace. >> i want to address the second part. does it matter? we'll have an interview with lieutenant general michael flynn. he was the just recently retired head of the defense intelligence agency. the pentagon's cia. he held almost every top military intel post over the last quarter century. he said it's enormously important we identify the enemy for what it is. we can't fight it if we don't identify it. he said it is islamic extremism. that's an ideology. their getting more than a thousand recruits every month.
5:18 am
the only way you can combat it if you combat it not ignore it. >> the white house as you see took a lot of grief for the president's remarks. does the white house see the remarks as a problem? i don't think they were scripted. it was ab libbed. are they concerned about the response or not? >> no. that was scripted. the president was clearly reading from tell tromter and apparently he told his speech writers he wanted it. the white house doesn't see it as a problem but a lot of people do. among other things the way in which the enemy is to say we're the you saidcrusaders. saying what we're repeating what happened a thousand years ago.
5:19 am
for the president of the united states it use it seems curious. >> the other thing i find curious is 2016 chris and the debate over vaccines. can you believe we're having a debate over whether or not to vaccinate our kids. it looking like it's going to affect the gop candidate. you'll have an interesting discussion about that on the show. >> we are. i'm talking to dr. ben carson. a world renowned brain surgery. he surprised me how strong a race he's running as a political novice. fourth in the polls in iowa ahead of jeb bush. you know, he is taking hard line. he said i understand parent l choice but when you talk about something like measles. a serious communicable disease he said public health trumps
5:20 am
parental authority. you have to make it mandatory. it if you're going to send your kid to school they have to be protected against the diseases. >> thank you. we'll be watching the great chris wallace. >> i sent you an invitation to the measles party. the impact police out of the ferguson rally. one college planning a moment. the pope said it's okay to spank children but with some conditions. we'll have a fair and balanced debate on that next. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping.

5:25 am
never in the face. as to not humiliate them. that's great. he has a sense of dignity. is it ever okay to spank your children? joining us now a psychologist anti-spanking and a psycho therapist who is not opposed to spanking. >> i think there's a difference. i think the story there's a big difference between whacking and hitting your kid and spanking your kid. whacking and hitting your kid is about hurting your kid. spanking is about emotionally sending a message. if your kid runs in traffic a 3 or 4-year-old you can't say don't run in traffic anymore. they need to see the behavior is unacceptable. if they're connecting a negative emotion with the behavior they're less likely to do it again. >> exactly. doctor, what do you think? you disagree? >> i disagree with spanking. we know from science that spanking is not an effective way
5:26 am
to discipline to teach your kid. so what i'm trying to do with my kid and what i recommend to use effective methods of teaching their kids what behaviors right and kbha is wrong. >> what do you mean? we know because of science. i knew from experience he was terrified of my father i would gate spanking. i remember asking him if i run away what will y'all do? he said you'll get a spanking. i never it because i was terrified. it kept me from doing wrong. >> clearly it worked for you. i don't want my kids to be terrified of me. i don't. i want my kids to love them. >> i know my dad loves and me e and i love him. i didn't want to disappoint him. >> the studies are about some people. they're about thousands of kids. some instance it is will work some will not. positive reinforcement for most kids is a way to change
5:27 am
behavior. >> we saw this a week or two weeks ago the kid in new jersey that took his teacher down. is there a lack of discipline at home and kids are acting up now? >> absolutely. in that case there's probably the reverse of that. it was probably your father or lack of a father being in the family but something that kid was exposed violently in the household. we do see the lack of respect. parents, that's what i think where we have to draw the line. there has to be a hierarchy. i love my kids to death. they love me to death. they have to have some level of fear where they know i'm in charge. otherwise when they become teens like the stuff i see in my private practice. they may be cursing their mother and father and we lose our control as parents. we need to maintain that. that's my position. >> i think there's a difference between respect and fear. you know, my kids have total respect for me. we use effective methods of discipline. we use timeout. the words timeout come out in my household, everything shuts down. there are other ways to say this is the final line. you don't have to use physical
5:28 am
force. i don't want my kids to replicate the behavior. i'm not advocating that. i'm going discipline to hit each other. i'm not going to do it to it to discipline them. flown plenty of planes in the navy. but lea is jumping out of one. she shares her leap of faith straight ahead. nearly 30 inmates walk out the front door of their prison. their escape plan? a little lingerie. in a work, work, work world... take time for sunday. just know that your truck...

lot of money from the middle east. yeah that gives you on apologetic -- objectivity. it was about global social engineering. security was the least of it. it was a grab bag of nonsense to appeal to various constituentcys but our national security strategy needs to be serious. these are serious times. yes isis is serious and instead it was a bumper sticker slogans and then you get, in washington tucker, you know this well washington governs themselves with the vogue word of the moment. well there's no military solutions. well sometimes in human history the only solution is military and i suspect it will be that way in the middle east. you hear we can't play whack-a-mole fighting terrorists. well if you're not willing to
6:17 am
kill them where you find them you lose. but the one in vogue at the moment takes me back to high school is extenshial threat. people love those buzz words. let's look at this. how many threats has the united states faced? in true meaning it would wipe out the population. we never faced that threat but we had to fight wars. we did face a threat to our government during the civil war but that's as close as we came. imperial japan when it attacked pearl harbor didn't pose that threat to the united states of america. >> of course it's also a term that many people that use it don't understand. so the new idea, very quickly is its immorale for christians to judge isis because they have blood on their hands too because the crusades a thousand years ago. what's the point of saying that? the president saying that? >> the president doesn't understand history.

he doesn't understand religious. he's soft on islam and i want to do a plug here, i have a column up at national review online right now called jihadi's 14 crusaders too and we bought into this nonsense about everything wrong with the middle east today is about the crusades in the 11th through 13th centuries and for 14 centuries islamist jihad has deformed much of the world. the greatest slavers in human history were the arabs and turks. and of course taking black africa but taking white millions and tens of millions over centuries of white european slaves and castrating the males. >> i don't think that's a history you're allowed to repeat. i totally agree. unfortunately we're out of time but i appreciate you coming on as always.

a year to -- $215 a year for this app. >> the more effective way to measure would be to get your kids grades. most parents can't get their own kids grades because they're paying for college. i think that's probably worth changing. >> but what if your child doesn't do well and gets a bad grade this might come in handy because you can hold your kids a countable and say you made a bad grade in math so you can hold them accountable. >> it uploads the schedule to the apps so parents can check in and see that. there are free apps that will do this for you. >> that's expensive. >> are kids learning anything in college? i want to believe it. >> 100%. >> okay they are. >> i learned. i was a broadcasting major. >> well you were learning something specific. like i was a post modern feminist poetry major, did i learn anything? >> look at you know. >> i know a lot about

two more oil refineries reportedly joining in on the united steelworkers strike. their biggest since 1980. >> this as gas prices rise to $2.17 a gallon.
6:44 am
that's up in just a week. >> host of sunday morning futures predicted this would happen i think last week and it did. i ought to be taking your investment advice. is that cause and effect here? oil spike? >> for sure. last week we talk t about the fact that this steel workers union represents 2-thirds of all capacity. we know it's only 11 refineries that walked off the job and that represents 13% of capacity. s not the worst. you're talking about two-thirds versus 13%. if we were to see a full out strike with two-thirds of capacity down you'll see prices move higher. here's a sure fire way to see oil prices move higher because the market speculates there will be an interruption in supply. >> what about all the jobs? we're saying, a few weeks ago, the lower gas prices that's bad for the economy. jobs drying up, restaurants closing, new construction is halting. now the gas prices go back up.
6:45 am
is that better or worse? >> largely speaking a drop off in oil prices is a positive for the economy. we haven't seen that effect yet but for the most part when you're talking about spending o $50 on your car to fill it up versus $100 you have more money in your pockets but so far consumers have not put that money back into the economy and all we have seen are the negative implications of lower oil prices like the lay offs and cut backs in capacity but we're getting retail sales numbers out next week for the month of january. this is going to be an important indicator of if, in fact people are spending that money in stores. what i'm see as good they're spending it in restaurants. the restaurants are doing more business and going out to dinner but certainly this is all about supply and demand. lower oil prices is a positive for the u.s. economy. now we're going to see oil price sort of fluctuate around where they are. it's very hard to predict whether or not oil will continue to go down. my guess would be that momentum
6:46 am
is on the side of the bears. in other words, oil prices will probably stay low unless we have some dramatic strike that worsens. this steelworkers strike is something to watch. right now it's effecting 13% of capacity. if it goes much larger and goes to two third of capacity we'll see prices go higher. >> average gas price is $2.17 a gallon. last year it was above $3. however we have seen an increase of 11 cents in the last week alone. should we be panicking and worrying about this? >> it does have to do with the strike. we'll see how bad it gets. these strikers don't have a lot of leverage because you have a market where you have all the supply. the american with the shell revolution and iraqis, so you have opec and nonopec countries producing the oil and it's not easy to see these guys and fwals

it's the best movie of the week. of the three that opened this weekend, it is the best. this is the second film. the first movie made $140 million. this new movie is on track to make $50 million this weekend alone. a lot has to do with 3d ticket sales this. movie surprised me. i'm a non fan of the show. i've seen a couple episodes here and there. i feel it was made for fans and non fans. basically the crabby patty recipe is stolen. spongebob and his friends travel to the real world to retrieve the recipe. it's a ridiculous plot. it's so much fun and unpredictable. it's random, weird, fun. i had a good time, laughed at it. one of the cool things as you see is it's hand drawn like the television show. they come see gi characters in the real world which is cool to watch. 3d is fantastic. i enjoyed it gave it a three

and a half out of five. i travelled to a local elementary school. i had students ask questions of the spongebob cast. this wonderful student named makenzie wanted to ask him what inspired him to become a voice actor. she asked him to answer in spongebob's voice. check it out. >> what inspired me? stay in school kids. don't be a dumb actor. i always loved cartoons. i loved popyey the sailor man. i would think of people that did the voices. is that the job a grown up person could really have and how do you do it. it took me a while to figure out how to get in there. i finally did. thank you makenzie. >> that was -- it was so funny.
6:55 am
he did the little spongebob thing. it's cool to see the voice behind it. i gave it 3.5 out of 5. >> what about "upter ascending." >> it's a big fan. i know you and i love the matrix so much one of the best of all time. it stands today as one of the best scifi ever made. this is a beautiful disaster. horrible script. the plot line i'm trying to wrap my mind around. i can't describe it without going crazy. she basically realizes her true potential is she's royalty to an heir to earth. channelling tatum plays a half wolf as a protector by the villain. the movie itself is cheesy, laughable. it's beautiful to look at. honestly, surprisingly enough the visuals in the matrix looked better than the visuals in this movie. i gave it 2 out of 5. beautiful disaster.
6:56 am
skip it and wait for the rentals. >> when they bring you the half wolf skriptdcript, turn it down. >> what about "seventh son." >> the movie is laughably bad reminding me of snl parody of a movie. i gave it 1.5 out of 5. skip it. 3d is the worst i've ever seen. awful. 1.5 a out of 5. >> make sure viewers tweet tweet @kevin mccarthy. >> i'm sitting down with wolverine himself tuesday morning. i want your questions. let me know what you want me to ask. i'll pic the best and deliver to the actor himself. >> thanks kevin. we'll be right back. >> thanks guys.
