>> terrific people weren't they? >> wonderful people really lovely parents. >> i'll see you on the radio. >> our day is not done. you can listen to us on the radio and i'll see you tonight on o'reilly. have a great day, everybody. jon: breaking news in the battle against isis. the president formally asks congress for the power to wage war on islamic state as we get intelligence that could make fighting the terror group even tougher. jenna: the president calling on lawmakers to, quote, show the world we are united in our resolve to counter the threat from isis. president will make a statement at the white house on his war powers request at 3:30 eastern time this afternoon. you'll see that on fox. in the meantime there's new word that our bombing campaign has done very little to slow the pace of foreign fighters joining the terror group.

u.s. intel officers estimating 20,000 recruits from around the world are fighting with isis and that includes more than 3,000 from western nations with a group of americans even making their way to the syrian war zone to help the terrorists. john is following all the breaking developments in our mideast bureau in jerusalem. john? >> as you pointed out, there's been growing concern and debate about the air strikes have not been enough to take out isis forces on the ground and now these new numbers, as you also talked about, paint an alarming picture about the number of militants joining the terror groups' ranks. now according to the national counterterrorism center, more than 20,000 fighters from more than 90 countries have joined isis and of those militants, an estimated 3400 are from western countries, including more than 150 from the united states. now, this is alarming because the number of foreign fighters

joining isis in syria and iraq are growing at an unprecedented rate compared to foreign militants who went to iraq afghanistan, yemen among other countries during the last 20 years. of course, all of this coming as president obama officially asked congress to authorize military action against isis for up to three years saying isis quote, unquote unquote, poses a threat to not only iraq and syria but the middle east as a whole and the united states. homegrown terrorism, main concern in the u.s. homegrown terrorists following the lead of militants. the resolution also asks for congressional approval to continue the u.s.-led coalition air strikes and also limited ground operations such as rescue missions and also special ops missions to take out isis leadership. i'm para phrasing from the resolution there. right now u.s. ground forces are involved in a non combat role in the training advising and

assisting of iraqi troops on the ground there in iraq but of course, all of this continues the debate about how much of a role the united states should play in fighting isis not only from the air, jenna, but also on the ground. back to you. jenna: big story today. thank you. jon: the obama administration is refusing to release more than 500 documents related to the i.r.s. targeting of conservative groups. many questions about who was leading that effort still remain and attempts to obtain information that could shed light on the scandal have been met with numerous excuses. stonewalls, you might say. bob is editor in chief of "the hill" and has new reporting on the story. i know that you have put in those freedom of information act requests looking for some documents from the i.r.s. what's been the response? >> basically, i went to the agency that audited the i.r.s. because remember, the i.r.s. has

said they lost a lot of emails so this was the agency that investigated the i.r.s. and had a lot of back and forth with the agency about the targeting so requested emails, requested any type of documents that may be realed to that 2013 explosive report and basically the response i got was, well we found 512 documents that pertain to your request but you're not getting any of them. i appealed the decision. they denied the appeal and this is just kind of as jim jordan and the congressman from ohio has been investigating on the house side it's par for the course. just last week the i.r.s. delivered 86000 documents to the senate finance committee, 20 months after senate finance committee chairman hatch asked for them so they're doing an investigation and it boils down to who knew what when and we don't know a lot of those answers answers. jon: what is their excuse for not releasing the 512 documents you've asked for? >> there are a lot of exemptions

in the foil law and they cite many of them. jon: freedom of information law. >> one of them is privacy but i've done a lot of these type of requests and they give you documents and as far as privacy concerns, they just redact or blackout that information. another exemption that they cited, which i thought was a little unusual was the possibility of law enforcement proceedings that they wouldn't give the documents because those could be pending. well, there have been reports suggesting no one is going to be prosecuting and certainly no one has been prosecuted for the i.r.s. scandal. attorney general eric holder last week said that he's going to be coming out with some type of a report with final recommendations but republicans, lois lerner did talk to the department of justice but wouldn't talk to congress and lens-- republicans are saying, okay. it needs to go to a grand jury. the citation is in the hands of

u.s. attorney who was appointed by president obama and there's been no action on that so that's why i think this issue in the coming weeks and months is going to certainly heat up because republicans in both the house and the senate are continuing their investigations. jon: right. so lois lerner who was so famous to so many americans for saying she did nothing wrong and yet refuses to testify before congress, she was held in contempt of congress that contempt citation is going nowhere because an obama appointee at the department of justice, the u.s. attorney there for the districts of columbia isn't doing anything with it apparently eight months after. >> yeah. hasn't done anything with it and of course democrats are attacking republicans for calling this a witch hunt but when you have documents that congress can't get and journalists can't get it's going to raise a number of questions and that's why the other interesting thing that i found in my reporting is that remember lois lerner planted that question that basically preemed what the audit was about to come out. she planted that question at a

legal conference. administration officials, including people at the treasury as well as the white house, they were discussing how to release this bad news. they knew it was going to be bad news. they discussed maybe another conference, maybe at a hearing and then, of course lois lerner let the cat out of the bag. jon: the top official in the country has famously said he's angry about all of this. listen. >> i've reviewed the treasury department watchdogs report and the misconduct that it uncovered is inexcusable. it's inexcusable and americans have the right to be angry about it and i'm angry about it. jon: that was 21 months ago. has the president done anything to act on the anger? >> want really. the white house said at the time, and this has proven to be true or at least not proven to be false they knew about the audit report when it was going to come out but you saw the president there expressing outrage. since that time, he's suggested

that the i.r.s. scandal and other controversies that have plagued the administration have been quote, unquote, phony so you know, that -- there has been a change or two no doubt about it. jon: it would be nice if the folks at the i.r.s. would remember they're working for us and maybe get you the information you're looking for as well. >> exactly. jon: thank you. >> thank, jon. jenna: politics now to some primary action in america's election headquarters as georgia spear heads the push to hold a southern super tuesday next march 1 for the reason why and the background to all of this, john roberts live in atlanta with more. >> good morning to you. the nation's secretaries of state are meeting in washington, d.c., a big topic of discussion there is the idea for all the states of the old south to band together in a soup he were tuesday. idea would be for georgia, alabama, mississippi, tennessee arkansas to all hold miemaries on the 1st of march,

2016. texas and florida may be in the mix there but because of proportionality, they could move the contests until later in the month. until now the old south has pretty much been an after thought in the process. georgia secretary of state who is spearheading the move hopes to change that by creating a contest early enough and big enough that the candidates have to pay attention to it. >> i think there's a lot of policies in things that are being done in the south that could actually help washington, d.c. and this primary would be a way to talk to the candidates about that and have them look south for ideas. >> for historical perspective, democrats tried this in 1988 in hopes a moderate candidate would sweep the south. instead the vote was split across the region and the liberal became the nominee. there are similar concerns for republicans that a big southern super tuesday next year could favor a candidate too far to the right to be elected nationwide. >> could well be that some of the candidates especially more

conservative candidates, could get a boost if they're able to persuade voters in the republican primaries that they're really viable presidential material. >> georgia secretary of state doesn't believe that will happen. pointed to senate contests last year in both georgia and mississippi where the more moderate candidate prevailed in the south. so far georgia and tennessee are two states on board. the other states pursuing legislation to try to make this all happen so it could be very exciting next march 1. big southern super tuesday here across the south. jenna: definitely something to look for in the bleak winter we're in. thank you very much. jon: just in they are in the courtroom right now offering opening statements in the trial of the man charged with murdering american sniper chris kyle and his friend. eddie ray routh is accused of killing kyle and his front in 2013.

>> good morning, jon. chris kyle served 10 years in iraq survived several near death experiences and went to be the most lethal sniper in american history only to come home and be shot and killed by a fellow veteran, a man who he was trying to help. a short time ago, kyle's wife walked into the courthouse. she'll be a key witness in the trial against ralph, a former marine who served in iraq and haiti. he appeared in court far different from his initial mug shot. his head was shaved he's gained some weight. he went to plead not guilty a short time ago by reason of insanity due to ptsd. prosecutors just told the jury that ralph intentionally shot both men and knew exactly what he was doing and that it was wrong. kyle and chad littlefield, a family friend, had taken routh to a shooting range as a form of therapy to try to help him at routh's mother's request. he shot both men multiple times in the back using two different

guns. prosecution is not seeking the death penalty. instead, they're seeking life in prison without the possibility of parole. the defense just started their opening statements. they'll be laying the groundwork for insanity. now, this has captivated the town, this trial has. kyle is a home town hero and while this trial continues to play out it's for two weeks. the movie "american sniper" will be playing every day three times a day at a movie theater down the road. jon: jurors are to ignore and avoid the movie, right? >> absolutely. jon: will joining us live. thank you. >> you bet. jon: later this hour our legal panel weighs in on the chris kyle murder trial and how prosecutors could counter the insanity defense that's apparently being offered. jenna: another dramatic case and chilling details in the pates

murder trial. hernandez describing how he killed the 6-year-old boy who disappeared in new york city in 1979. the case truly revolutionized the way we look for missing children. while hernandez's lawyers are calling the video confession bogus, what that means for a resolution here. good news for folks if you like eggs in the morning. nutrition guidance on the breakfast food and other foods with cholesterol and we want to hear from you. would you rate income and equality as one of your top concerns going into 2016? live chat is up and running. we have a guest coming up that said that republicans should not touch this issue because it's not as important to americans. is it important to you? join the conversation. visit fox news.com/happening now and click on america's asking.

a former nanny testifying the couple tried to stay away from each other and she knew something seemed wrong when harris called her saying his wife michelle never came home the night before. jurors in the pates murder trial listening to hernandez's video confession where he describes strangling the first gridder who disappeared in 1979. details of the confession conflicted with other witness testimony, though. and medical testimony resuming later today in the trial of lacy spears, the woman accused of poisoning her 5-year-old son with salt. yesterday spears breaking down in court reacting to a video of her son motionless in a hospital just days before he died. jenna: new business news. government may be changing its nutritional guidelines on eggs and other foods with cholesterol which could be good news for those of you who like your omelets but for many businesses as well. peter barnes is live from

barnside dine he were. i'll bet you could fry some eggs there, peter. >> got my prop right here, of course. and they serve over 5,000 of these a week here at the barnside diner and they could be serving a lot more thanks to an advisory committee on nutrition that is working on the u.s. dietary guidelines for 2015. now, this committee will make its official recommendation to the departments of health and human services and agriculture in a few weeks and it is expected to drop warnings going back 40 50 years about eating foods higher in cholesterol like eggs and shrimp. at a meeting in december the committee experts said in a document, quote, cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption. officials aren't commenting on the reason for the change but there's a lot of new research out there that suggests and questions whether foods with cholesterol actually raise

cholesterol in the body which is a naturally occurring chemical produced by your liver but it can be elevated by saturated fats fatty foods, sugar and lack of exercise and that can lead to cardiovascular disease. this committee just advises these two government agencies that actually develop the dietary guidelines which will be released in the fall but if they adopt this recommendation to drop the cholesterol food warning, that could make some egg lovers like me and customers here egg-static. >> i might eat more eggs but i will continue to check my cholesterol and if the level goes up the eggs go down. >> u.s. egg producers sell 93 billion eggs a year here. it's an $8.5 billion business.

we've been eating fewer eggs because of these guidelines. 252 per person per year in 2013 down from 468 a year in 1945 and jenna, i celebrated this morning by having -- by trying to raise my numbers. i had a red skin omelet and my wife would not like what was in it. >> what was in it pete sner we all want to know now. you'll have to tell america. >> now it appears the eggs are the healthy part but i don't know if the sausage and the bacon were dair -- are going to be on the list of good foods. jenna: all in moderation peter. all in moderation. some french fries and a grilled cheese for lunch as well might not be a good idea. in a diner so always delicious. cheers to you, peter barnes. you can catch peter on fox business f. you're not sure where to find it on your

television, visit fox business.com/channel finder. you're hungry. i can tell. i can feel it. jon: i'm always hungry. mrs. barnes is calling him on the cell phone at this moment. he's charged with first degree murder. his alleged motive may be even more chilling. why police say the victims were targeted. plus a push for peace as fighting intensifies in ukraine but what can really be done to end the crisis? we'll go in depth.

jon: police releasing the motive at a deadly shooting near the university of north carolina chapel hill. they say the triple homicide was

sparked by ongoing dispute over a parking spot. craig steven hicks surrendering to police this morning. he's said to be cooperating. hicks is accused of gunning down three muslim students. initially there were concerns this might have been a hate crime because of the victims' religion. hicks is behind bars charged with three counts of first degree murder. jenna: crisis in ukraine seems to be getting worse on the ground as we get reports that pro russian rebels are unleashing what's being called some of the worst fighting since the deadly unrest began nine months ago. fighting raging today despite reports there could be a deal on the table. leaders of russia ukraine, germany and france meet for peace talks but there are growing concerns about vladmir putin. >> i think we're seeing a dismembered europe and in fact i think the worst case scenario he goes for a nato country, a baltic country and then when he

proves nato to be completely worthless. jenna: joining us is fox news military analyst and the heritage foundation senior fellow former deputy secretary of defense. i would like to talk about solutions and how we fix this issue in eastern europe. general, to you first, though. before we talk about solutions, what is our goal here? >> our goal here is to get vladmir putin to stop. the man is clearly a sociopath. he has the ambition to restore the glory of the russian empire and he seeks to use force to do it. by force i mean russian troops, russian material in the eastern ukraine and he's there now and right now the guy is winning. hence the peace

came across the ukraine. parts of napoleon's armies came into russia. this is non negotiable for them and the level of violence in the eastern part of the country is actually part of russia's negotiating strategy. if they wanted to they could take that land like they took crimea.

they could probably park into kiev in short order. this is part of a negotiation, making sure that ukraine remains in russia's sphere of influence. jenna: how do we prevent that? how do we prevent the russians from marching straight to kiev? >> we're already behind the power curve because this has been going on a long, long time. moscow sees washington as a patsy. we've been unwilling to arm the ukrainian resistance. the president is a lawyer and one of the things that all lawyers understand especially about international law is that countries have the inherent right to defend themselves. if ukraine asks for arms like they do in iraq, we have a right under u.n. law, international law, customary law to provide them with weapons and that's what we should have done a long time ago. right now the general is right, the russians feel like they have the momentum. jenna: some of the news is that we're sending soldiers advisers to help the ukrainians but what about the weapons?

we haven't been specific about what we would send whether it's offensive, defensive. be specific if you would, what do we need to send the ukrainians? >> first of all, aircraft won't work because the soviet air defenses are so robust in eastern ukraine. small arms are necessary but not sufficient. what the ukrainians need are weapons they can operate themselves that are effective against tanks and artillery and command posts in eastern ukraine. they need a weapon that could stand outside the contested zone and fire rockets in with great precision to take out point targets. we have weapons like that rocket launchers we could loan them. they're easy to learn to use. not a lot of training and so forth. they can be fired from outside the contested zone and vladmir putin simply couldn't stand the fact that his forces are being slowly destroyed. russian soldiers are going back in body bags. that's what's going to force him to a legitimate peace.

not this idea of negotiating from a position of strength which is what vladmir putin thinks he has. jenna: in the moscow times this week we heard from a russian official that said that any providing of arms to ukraine would be viewed as an act of war and that russian would respond asymmetrically against washington or allies on other fronts. peter, your thoughts on that. >> i think it's a negotiating tactic. in other words, we're saying -- the obama administration saying we'll provide arms and vladmir putin says this is an act of war. that's part of the negotiations but russia is already trying to make things more difficult for us. kim juning un -- kim jung un is coming. >> vladmir putin can't do anything. his army is really terribly weak. he's pretty much expended all

his top tier forces in eastern ukraine, an act of war really? a asymmetric response? i don't think knowings. what vladmir putin is trying to do is literally get away with aggression and not pay a high price for it and the president, the administration are simply up to this point at least willing to go along with that. jenna: house of representatives recently introduced legislation authorizing a billion dollars in military aid to ukraine through 2017. that's where some of the money perhaps for the weapons could come from. we'll see what we end up doing now so many months into this conflict. good to see you. appreciate it very much. >> go ahead to be here. jon: some republican presidential hopefuls are seizing on the income in equality theme. why one political analyst calls that a losingish up. he'll be here to explain. let the buyer beware of pick pocketing in the digital age. how thieves can steal your credit card when you shop even if it's still in your wallet.

jenna: right now a quick look what's still to come this hour of "happening now." man accused of killing american sniper on trial today in texas. we'll have more on that coming up plus a dangerous rescue mission when a hang glider gets stranded on this cliff. more on that plus jon stewart leaving the daily show.

more on the comedy central host's big announcement. jon: well, hackers have a way to steal your personal information right out of thin air. a new device allows thieves to swipe your credit card number in public when you're in line at a store and even when your card is still in your wallet. how do you protect yourself? lauren is here. >> hi jon. call this digital pick pocketing. a thief can steal your credit or debit card number while your card is safely tucked away if they can get within six inches of it using a special device that picks up the card's radio frequencies. what that means is if you have a so-called wave and pay card, one that uses radio frequencies to allow for contact for payments and you're standing on an escalator, waiting in line at a store or walking down the street a thief can steal your identity and you won't even

know. what can you do? you might want to invest in a wallet or a card sleeve that is able to block out the card's radio frequencies. the thing to remember here is the thieves and the hackers are often smarter than our best protection so always be aware. these radio frequency skimmers by the way, they can be purchased so cheaply and so easily online for about $300. they usually are unable to grab that three digit security code on the back of the card but in some cases, transactions go through without it and the security experts at trust wave that i spoke with for this story, they recommend mobile payments like apple pay because the card's numbers are not stored on the phone or using newer cards that have the so-called chip and pin tech coming in that the industry is slowly moving towards. jon: or just get yourself a new wallet with that radio wave blocking feature. wow. >> keep the radio frequencies from being transmitted. it's a scary story it can happen

so easily. jon: and people probably wonder what happened to them when they get taken. >> i know. it's like my wallet is in the pocketbook and it's in there. what happened? jon: don't miss lauren on fox business network f. you're not sure to where find it in your ware, go to fox business.com/channel finder. jenna: now to politics and the economy as well. republicans and democrats are increasingly citing the issue of inequality in speeches and policy briefs but our next guest says maybe it's not a good decision. he's raising doubts about the effectiveness of income in equality as a campaign issue. he writes this. republicans are likely to find that this weapon will be a dud. inequality does not appear to be an issue that moves voters and even if it did, republicans could not come up with an agenda that would do much to fix it. joining us is the senior editor of the national review. talk to us about this because we hear about it all the time as you point out. why is it not a winning issue

for republicans? >> well we hear about it all the time jenna because inequality is a deep and passionate and long standing concern of the american left but it's not a concern that is shared in that way by most american voters. most middle class americans and most americans consider themselves middle class, they are concerned about how they're doing, how their kids are going to do. they're not as concerned about how they're doing in relation to which people. that's the way the left thinks about inequality that again, most americans don't. jenna: when we looked at the fox news poll to go see if there was any polls that really address this issue we did find one and it proves your point more or less. we asked those that we polled what do you think is the most important economic issue facing the country and income in equality was the top three but far below jobs and deficit spending. what do you think republicans should be focussing on instead of going back to this familiar

term income inequality? >> i think what republicans are trying to do when they talk about inequality is signal they're not just concerned about the rich. they want a broad based prosperity, they want the middle class to rise, they want the poor to come out of poverty. that's what they want. that's what they should talk about instead of just using the left's vocabulary and talking about the gap between the rich and the poor because there's nothing wrong with the rich getting ahead as long as everybody else is too. jenna: in your article though you did cast some skepticism about whether or not republicans really do have a plan for the economy overall to do the things that you say they should be focused on. what do you make of that? and who do you think is out there so far in the republican field that you think maybe has some new ideas how to really get the economy up and running. >> i think that republicans are all sort of grasping about for a new message that is more in touch with middle class voters

so that republicans don't fall into the trap of just seeming like they're concerned about big business from the rich. i think it's early days but i think so far senator rubio who may run for president has been out front and talking about some things. i think governor bush is interested in it but they all have to flush out an agenda. that agenda should be increasing opportunity for everybody, not trying to keep the rich down want trying to obsess about the gap between the rich and the poor but helping everybody to move ahead. jenna: great read. we look forward to having you back on the program as we see whether or not income inequality does become a central issue or perhaps republicans take your advice. we'll see. look forward to having you again. thank you. >> you're welcome. jon: opening statements in the murder trial of the man accused of killing american sniper chris kyle. his lawyers plan to claim insanity. thousands rally across iran. what they're chanting about the

the death penalty. this guy is accused of shooting these two men multiple times in the back in a state like texas wouldn't that normally be a death penalty case? >> i think it's interesting, jon, they didn't go for the death penalty and i think that may foreshadow a bit they think this defendant, despite the horrific nature of his act and despite the loss to really the american people in losing this american hero and also chad littlefield that the defendant may come off sympathetic in this case and that a jury of 12 people is going to hesitate or would hesitate to send you know someone who serves -- also served his country in time of war in a difficult tour in haiti and the aftermath of the earthquake may have a very difficult time instituting the death penalty in this kind of case and i think that's why they went or took the death penalty off the table this early on in the trial. jon: do you see it that way jay?

post traumatic stress as sort of a -- maybe a prelude or an excuse, a grounds for insanity defense? >> look. there's a huge legal gap the size of texas between crazy and legally insane between ptsd and not being held criminally responsible. there were 15,000 murders in the united states last year and nearly all of them, if not all of them, were committed by a violent, evil person. let's put it this way. jeffrey domer was not found insane by his peers and he ate people. i understand that military service is difficult. the net effect of this defense would be to unravel the god works of many organizations who have worked to sort of correct the narrative on post traumatic stress but this defense team is going to do what they need to do to try to if not get a not

guilty by insanity verdict try to get it from a capital murder verdict to a murder verdict which would carry a penalty not life without parole but a parole eligible term of years. jon: this suspect, the month before the kyle shooting, he is said to have threatened his girlfriend and her friend with a knife and a sword. he was described as a heavy drinker, marijuana user a guy who liked to kill animals basically for pleasure. can the prosecution say this isn't a ptsd. it's just a bad guy. >> there's another issue with that, jon. the prosecution has to be careful with overplaying that hand. in fact, i think the defense team may be the one that's going to be trying to get a lot of that evidence in. why? because look. crazy people do crazy things.

they're going to say, yeah this was not an isolated incident. this was a guy who was living with the horrors of what he experienced serving his country abroad. he was living with the difficultiys of ptsd. was there alcohol and marijuana use? absolutely but any experts, and experts will testify to this in this trial i'm sure will tell you one of the most common things that veterans returning who are suffering from ptsd whether it's diagnosed or undiagnosed do is they self med indicate with marijuana, narcotic drugs and alcohol so that could risk, if the prosecution can get that evidence in it could also backfire and play into the defense's hand in this case. jon: obviously it is receiving a huge amount of attention, especially because of that $300 million movie. we'll have to leave it there. jay, tom, thank you both. >> thank, jon. jenna: whitney houston's daughter remains in a medically induced coma more than a week after she was found unconscious in a bathtub. what her family is now saying
