>> we spend more time more time talking about what do you call it as opposed to what do you do about it? fox didn't talk about this they would have nothing else to talk about, it would seem to me. >> does it matter what we call it? we'll discuss that. >> we'll have nothing else to talk about except rocco. >> we could talk about dogs. >> we could talk about whatever else comes to our mind, maybe sports. she's the new top dog. >> my choice for the best in show is the beagle. [applause] >> not just any beagle. miss p, she is here live this hour after the big win yesterday. must be a little groggy; we'll never know. mornings are better with friends. it's time for "fox & friends." >> the last time the beagle reigned supreme we also had

the beagle here. beagle sales boomed after that. >> booming time for the beagle. >> at what point do we put all the newspapers down for the dog? >> a little bit later. >> i remember we were thinking about getting a beagle in my house until we realized one of its chief goals was to get rabbits and we had a rabbit already. we don't want natural selection happening in our house. >> we have a dog visiting us later today. we're going to bring to you the winner. >> on this ash wednesday first day of lent. in the meantime heather joins us with headlines. sad story. .it is. it is an important story and police need your help in florida. there is a desperate bid for any information about april foster. tampa area businesses are offering a $15,000 reward and they need your help to find this lady. 33-year-old foster a waitress, last seen on surveillance video outside a bar last thursday

morning. tampa police worry she may be in danger but no evidence of a crime has been found at this point they say. police are still searching for foster's car. take a good look and contact police if you know anything. the defense is about to present its first full day of testimony in the american sniper trial. prosecutors resting their case but not before showing jurors this new video of chris kyle and littlefield with the accused killer moments before he led police on a high speed chase. when the police asked routh if he was okay, routh said he doesn't know if he was insane. defense attorneys asked his mother quote you begged the v.a. not to release your son? she replied, absolutely i did. nonetheless they released him. a now report says routh is still raking in $2,800 a month in v.a. benefits.

extreme weather now. take a look at this dramatic rescue caught on camera in new jersey. emergency crews risking their lives to save a mother and her two teenage daughters stranded on a jetty. one of the girls was trapped more than 30 minutes in the water. she is in the hospital recovering from hyperthermia. say hello to the new top dog we're all talking about. >> for the best in show is the beagle. >> the beagle? >> another beagle! >> i love that person who goes "the beagle" that beagle winning the top prize at the westminster dog show. miss p is her name. she is actually related to another beagle that won back in 2008. miss p and her handler coming in live. and steve's got the

newspaper. >> i'm sure "the new york post" is not thrilled. >> you know what -- >> get "the new york times." it's much bigger. you need less pages. >> we'll put miss p right there. >> let talk about the horror. no matter how you want to shake it isis continues carnage. when you talk about 35 people burned alive, you thought one jordanian pilot was too much. so did we. what were 45 more caught and captured. we believe these 45 are among the iraqi security forces meant to intimidate, told to put down their arms al baghdadi is in control. >> apparently through the night, wrapping that up 4 a.m. our time here. >> it is too bad these jihadis didn't have jobs because then they wouldn't be setting people on fire and cutting off their heads. we played for you that extraordinary sound bite by

the spokesperson for the secretary of state yesterday. you know what she did yesterday as well? she went on tv and she doubled down. she said essentially the problem with these terrorists is they don't have jobs. but she explained george bush said the same thing. listen. >> look, it might be too nuanced an argument for some. like i've seen over the past 24 hours some of the commentary. it is the smart way, democrats, republicans military commanders, our partners in the arab world think we need to combat. president george w. bush talked about poverty being one of the drivers that lead people to extremism. where there are lacking in these kinds of opportunities, we need to talk about how to make that dinner, how to help our partners around the world give young men in that vulnerable age group a different path in life. >> he also had a comprehensive way to fight against them. >> boots on the ground. >> right. you can't say if all these

guys had perfect nuclear families, everything going great and if they had a $75,000 a year job that wouldn't help or hurt. that's one of the factors. the leader in the movement is totally without regard to your place in society. >> that is just one point. a former chief speech writer for george w. bush outlines the difference between president bush and president obama. >> george w. bush could say similar things but he was leading the surge to defeat isis. when he said we also need to bring the hope of freedom, it wasn't seen as a dodge from doing the hard work of it. he also called it radical islam. >> that's the key. they're having this summit on extremism at the white house but there is one thing they're league out. they're -- they're leaving out. they're not mentioning it's islamic extremism. they're trying to tip toe around the central motivation for groups like al qaeda and also isis. it's extraordinary that they're not doing it and it

does seem like fox news is questioning, and it seems to be getting under the skin of the attorney general of the united states who was asked at the national press club yesterday, why doesn't the administration call it what it is, islamic extremism. here's what he said. >> we spend more time, more time talking about what do you call it as opposed to what do you do about it. you know, i mean really you know, if fox didn't talk about this, they'd have nothing else to talk about it would seem to me. you know radical islam islamic extremism. i'm not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. the terminology has, seems to me, little or no impact on what ultimately we have to do. >> we speak to the best of the best experts when it comes to military tactics. many think the strategies here are bankrupt mainly

because the verbiage when it refers to isis and what's going on, when you see the jordanian pilot burned alive and many exeded in a matter of weeks here. why won't the administration call it what it is? we should be taking it seriously, reverend frank graham agrees. >> this is a religious aspect of this they don't accept and they refuse even to this day will not accept and don't believe it. we have to understand who we're dealing with and you have to deal with it accordingly. and the president is ignoring the fact that these are islamic extremists. these are terrorists. and isis is a terrorist organization and they are bent on destroying the west. >> the attorney general should flip around a little bit. evidently he only watches fox. if you look at the other channels they are bringing up the same thing. if you go to the international channels they are bringing up the same issue. they are wondering, the bbc

and around the world why we're avoiding it. you should say why are the jails full. what landed them in prison and what were they thinking before they got there. as you unfold that coil, you realize at the base of what they're doing, they are claiming it is religion. it is not condemning the religion. it is saying hey, why are they killing people in such a brutal fashion? what's motivating them? why wouldn't he know that? >> maybe he does and doesn't want to call it that because if you refer to it as extreme violence or nonintegration of those who come here, perhaps you don't have to deal with it in a big way. >> we would like to hear from you. do you think it is important that they address the issue by calling it what it is? you can facebook us, e-mail us or tweet us on this wednesday morning. >> meanwhile the immigration showdown is heating up in washington in a huge way. >> president obama's immigration overhaul was set to begin today but now it is stopped in its tracks by a federal judge in

texas. the president vows to appeal. >> kevin corke is live in washington with the latest. >> reporter: in a lot of circles judge andrew hannon is the man of the hour for standing up for the rule of law and blocking the president. if you think of it in football terms this is the first quarter of a very long battle. the white house would like to shield the children who were brought here illegally from being deported. we're talking probably millions of people. while the plan is on hold for now the president not only says he'll appeal it, he says the planning process continues. >> for those who are now wondering whether or not they should apply, we are going to refer those questions to the department of homeland security that's already begun the planning process and we will be prepared to implement this fully as soon as the legal issues get resolved. >> the administration is printing work authorizations. it is affirmatively acting

in contravention of federal law. basically what it's doing is counterfeiting immigration documents. >> senator ted cruz of texas went on to tell megyn kelly in the background of this is fighting for funding for the department of homeland security. for now the agency continues to operate on a very limited budget. the hill is the battle place and right now there appears to be no compromise in sight. we'll be watching it very carefully but for now back to you. >> that federal judge in texas seems to agree with candidate obama that president obama's executive amnesty is illegal. >> even president obama said plenty of times when he was president, i can't do everything. straight ahead a man posting instructions on how to legally get out of a drunk driving arrest. keep your windows up and don't say a word. is this giving drunk drivers a free pass? >> interesting. people protesting possible

to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions.

taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

it has been over two years since the attack on our u.s. consolate in benghazi where four americans were murdered. libya now on the brink of collapse, the country falling to islamic extremists as isis uses chaos to extend its foot hold in that country. and europe is sharing a warning to the west saying isis is at its front door. so could this have been prevented?

and is there any way to stop it at this point? let's talk to chris also known as tonto, pronto, an benghazi attack survivor. he joins us from phoenix. you're familiar with these guys al shria now isis. surprised? >> not at all. before we were there before the attack in 2012. we knew who ansar sharia was. we knew in 2012 when we could probably gone in and limited their capabilities. this is our fault more than anything. >> you saw this with your own eyes. you were undercover. you'd go through the streets and you would see these protests down at seaport. >> you would see them drumming up support. we actually saw a.q.i.

flags in benghazi before we were attacked and we did report that to our leadership. again, this is not something new to me. i'm surprised that we've let it get to this point but i think that's just the failure of leadership is what we're seeing. >> don't you think it has gotten to this point, chris, because we're not we don't have anybody on the ground. guys like you. >> yeah. >> the problem is we're flying over, dropping bombs. that's being effective the white house says but not to the point where you've gotten rid of everybody. >> you can't just do airstrikes. it doesn't work. you've seen the vacuum of us leaving causes and we're going to see it in yemen as well. as much as we continue to pull out of these countries, we're letting terrorists -- and they are terrorists -- we're letting them flurry rush and giving them -- flourish and giving them areas to train and recruit. we need people on the ground whether paramilitary or military we need people on the

ground. >> i'm sure the administration tanto would say we've got the jordanians, we've got the egyptians. they can take over. they can be the boots on the ground. >> god bless them but they don't have the manpower to do it. they are very good. king hussein is very good and the egyptians, i applaud them for coming in and bombing isis and bombing ansar sharia but you've got to have u.s. forces and nato frses on the ground. that's the only way to eliminate t. >> we're the best. you know what isis's intent is? and that is to go all the way from iraq and syria, all the way across northern africa and then just right across the mediterranean next stop europe. >> their whole intention is to wipe out western society and anybody that doesn't adhere to sharia law. it's going to come and end up on our shores. it's coming. people need to realize that and don't think that we're not immune from the attacks on our shore.

i don't know how else to reiterate it. we're seeing the steps go and it's going to increase. soon it's going to end up here and then we're going to be dealing with it in the u.s. >> the white house is diseelg with -- is dealing with it right now because they've got this three day summit on extremism where they won't call it islamic extremism. is it? you've been there. is it islamic extremism? >> that's exactly what it is. i don't know why you can't name it what it is. you had attorney holder's sound bite on there. he said we don't need to name it, don't need to worry about naming it. we need to do something about it. >> we haven't done anything about it. at least name it. you haven't done anything. it is! ic extremism. we are dealing with terrorism. if we can't say it obviously we're not going to be able to deal with it effectively. i saw the state department spokesperson. getting them jobs? they have jobs. it's called killing westerners and killing

christians. that's what they do. we need to end this. it's not going to be easy. we've got to take the hard right. if we don't do that it's going to get where it's reaching us in the u.s. >> you would know. you were there. chris tanto paranto. thanks very much. coming up, have you consistently benefited from privilege? a question on a high school quiz about white privilege. if you got pulled over for drunk driver you probably got arrested but not if you're an

it probably wasn't on the syllabus in your high school physics class. a teacher came up with new six-day curriculum that includes lessons on white privilege to prepare students for institutional racism and social justice. so what does that have to do with physics? joining us is our guest. interesting case. he was concerned the students quote, weren't learning about their own privilege. he decided to do digging himself. >> right. exactly. it's not an open mic night in these classrooms. you don't decide you get to talk to what you want to these students. fizzic, you talk about physics. >> he was asking the students to take a preevaluation of curriculum and answer these questions. to believe or not believe, which is what they were asked to answer? do you believe or not believe

american society fits my definition of racist? i'm not sure what that has to do with physics. do you believe or not believe people born white tend to have a set of advantages over those born black? and do you believe or not believe that i have consistently benefited from unearned privilege in my life? >> physics class. he said he was jealous that all the other teachers got to talk about society. then he also said they're not learning about it. they clearly are. you just said you were jealous of the other teachers. i don't know what this is about. i guess it's his own agenda. but we're consistently behind science and math of other developed countries in high school. maybe it's because physics teachers aren't teaching physics. >> yeah. and they're asking stuff like this. we did reach out to the high school, prep statement says we are fully aware and support the teach's work as part of our commitment to provide our

students an education that helps them grow into socially responsible, intellectually courageous citizens of the world. your thoughts? >> how about teaching them physics and physics class? you do need that too especially to go to college. >> how proper do you think this application of teaching is going on in schools right now? >> very much so because the whole reason this even came to light is because another physics teacher featured it on his blog, had him write a posting. there has been a great response to it. people love it. i'm sure we'll be seeing more of it. believe it or not. >> thank you so much. we appreciate you being here. coming up, just when you thought you heard it all. >> i'm proud of the fact that basically you've had an administration that's been replaced for six years in which there hasn't been a major scandal. >> no major scandal in the last six years? really? we're going to fact check that one for you next

good morning. today is wednesday, february 18. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. another gruesome terrorist attack at the hands of the islamic extremists. burning dozens, you're seeing that flag. today the white house offers its official response, a summit that will not use the word islam. >> we spend more time talking about what do you call it as opposed to what do you do about it? fox didn't talk about it, they'd have nothing else to talk about it would seem to me. >> wow. just look at these pictures right here. is fox really the problem here? we report. you decide. you couldn't even get a smile out of that crowd. a terrifying government secret that's been under wraps for years. our dams and nuclear power plants may have been hacked and

the plans sold to the chinese. >> great. so what if the president's campaign promises are falling apart? david axelrod is number one guru over the years says he's still got one good reason to celebrate. >> i'm proud of the fact that basically you've had an administration that's been in place for six years in which there hasn't been a major scandal. >> not a single major scandal. e-mail us right now. can you think of one, two, ten? we'll read some of them because mornings are better with friends like you. >> hey this is john ratzenberger and you're watching "fox & friends". >> cheers to you america. john is going to be with us in about 15 minutes from now talking about jobs. we need more people who can do stuff with their hands in the united states of america. >> he has a practical take on

things. we're going to turn to heather nauert who has a lot going on. >> you got a job. >> i do. good morning to you all. folks and police in tampa, florida need your help. there is a desperate bid for information about april foster. tampa area businesses are offering a $15,000 reward for any information on her whereabouts. the 33-year-old waitress was last seen on video outside a bar early last thursday leaving with a man that she had met a few hours earlier. tampa police worry she may be in danger, but there is no evidence that a crime has been committed thus far. police are still searching for foster's car. new this morning bizarre twist in the las vegas road rage case that left a mother of four dead. police say tammy myers and her armed son actually went out looking to confront a man who had frightened her and her daughter during a driving lesson. they did find his car, they believe, but they decided to go

home instead. that's when a gray four door pulled up and someone opened fire. myers was shot in the head and died two days later. police are now looking to question this man. so far no arrests have been made. president obama now pushing back on that immigration plan indefinitely just a at this before it was set to begin this after a federal judge ruled in favor of 26 states that challenged president obama's executive action to provide amnesty to nearly 5 million illegals in the united states. while the president is obeying the judge's decision for now, he doesn't like it. >> with respect to the ruling, i disagree with it. i think the law is on our side and history is on our side. we are going to appeal it. >> while that appeal moves forward, the administration says it will continue to prepare for putting the executive action into effect. then say hello to the new top dog.

>> for the best in show is the beagle. >> another beagle! >> that cute little beagle from british columbia winning the top prize at the westminster dog show. she's the second beagle in the competition's history to take home the title. she's related to the other beagle that won back in 2008. miss p and her handler were here earlier. he said she always knew -- he always knew she was destine ford greatness. >> miss p and i i noticed her at six months. i told her owner she was going to be a star. >> miss p gets to have lunch with donald trump and star on broadway tonight in the musical "kinky boots." i guess it was love at first site. >> she needs an extra pair of boots. >> everyone looks at their six-month-old and thinks they're going to be a star and champion. >> thank you heather. they're busy at the white house. today is day two of their

three-day summit on violent extremism. they're not calling it what it is islamic extremism, because the white house doesn't want to do that. eric holder was at the national press club in washington yesterday and he was asked hey mr. attorney general, why is it this administration doesn't call it islamic extremists, because they are islamic extremists. this is what he said and then he revealed who is really bugging him. the answer is fox. >> we spend more time more time talking about what do you call it as opposed to what do you do about it? you know? i mean really, you know, if fox didn't talk about this they'd have nothing else to talk about it would seem to me, you know. radical islam islamic extremism, you know, i'm not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. the terminology seems to me little or no impact on what

ultimately we have to do. >> you've got to be kidding me right there. you have 21 coptic christians beheaded on a shore line. you have 45 people burned alive and this is on the heels of a jordanian pilot being burned alive on video. yet fox is the problem? wow. >> fighters being paraded in cages in the kirkuk area. here is what i don't understand he's the chief law enforcement officer. if you're looking at fundamental crime, you have to ask what is prompting that crime. if you're looking at gangs, you say, just put them in prison. you got to look at why people are going into gangs. why are they killing people? what is their objective? how do you stop it if you can't name it? reverend franklin graham weighed in. >> this is something that the white house doesn't understand. this is a religious aspect of this that they just don't accept and refuse even to this day will not accept and don't believe it.

we have to understand who we're dealing with. and you have to deal with it accordingly. and the president is ignoring the fact that these are islamic extremists. these are terrorists. isis is a terrorist organization, and they are bent on destroying the west. >> and that's the key, they want to kill us and yet, the attorney general, chief law enforcement officer for the united states of america, is bugged by the fact that fox brings up the accurate point they are islamic extremists. let's call it islamic extremism. sorry. obviously this administration talks tougher about fox news than they do about isis, which that's sad. >> we'll see if the president who is set to speak at that summit at 4:00 p.m., ends up getting more specific about that. >> think about what's happening right now by the base that has 300 marines. this city is being solidified firmly in isis' hands and

they're killing anything left to the iraqi security forces or anybody that they believe can be a threat to them, while our guys sit in that base wondering we took these guys out before. when exactly are we going to have the opportunity to take them out again? how many more people have to die? how many more people have to be recruited? >> let's talk strategy. one man is doing just that. the man who killed osama bin laden, rob o'neil, navy seal had this to say. >> the three pillars of our military strategy is forward defense, deterrence and a line of solidarity. right now the solidarity with our allies would be to defend them. right now you have people being burned outside of al assad air base. they helped us in 2007 during the awakening when we needed sunni help to destroy al-qaeda in iraq which is pretty much who isis is now. >> now they're asking us for help and we're not doing it. we need to get troops, boots on the ground in there with our allies to defeat them where they are. we need to meet at the point of origin and control the duration

and intensify it. >> he's not the only one who says that. we just had chris paronto, one of the benghazi contractors on this program it's one thing to have jordan and egypt flying over, dropping bombs, too but we need american boots on the ground. >> real time intel. >> sure. there is another story that apparently isis is planning -- remember, those people who were beheaded along the beach, they were in the country of libya. there is a story out this morning in the european press that says that apparently libya is going to use eye -- isis is going to use libya as a gateway to europe. they're going to try to flood as many militants across northern africa, a short ride across the mediterranean, there they are right there in europe. >> by the way, what was our plan after gadhafi was ousted? has anybody seen a plan what to do? it is now the wild west there. meanwhile, david axelrod is on a book tour and he had a chance to sit there at the university of chicago and take some questions. interesting take on the six

years that he's noticed and been a part of most of them with the obama with us. >> it's interesting that the setting was at a university because he clearly didn't study. he claimed here the administration hasn't had a scandal in over six years. listen to this and then we'll fact check. >> proud of the fact that basically you've had an administration that's been in place for six years in which there hasn't been a major scandal. >> okay. i'm looking, i asked you a couple minutes ago to e-mail us with some of the scandals and i just got this. this guy, david axelrod, thinks there were no scandals in the last six years. must be using common core math, from thomas cruz. maybe mr. axelrod simply forgot about these bonafide scandals. does he remember how lois lerner herself apologized that the irs illegally targeted conservative people in the country? apparently he forgot about that. >> what about what difference does it make benghazi scandal?

>> maybe forgot. >> veterans affairs is an ongoing situation. if you saw the fireworks two weeks ago it's far from settled and people have killed themselves waiting to get seen. you see another scandal with chris kyle, killer, should have been in the v.a. hospital. instead, he was out in two days with a bucket full of meds. >> not to mention solyndra, fast and furious and others. >> but he's right in one take. they have not made a major deal out of this. if you consider the plain situation, the media made a much bigger deal out of all those six. so in that sense he's saying they didn't go to that level. but it should have. >> so they're saying they've been able to manage. >> what they've done very effectively is they have managed the mainstream media. >> exactly. >> where you watch cnn msnbc cbs, abc, nbc they're pretty much saying exactly what the white house wants them to say. go back to eric holder our first sound bite of this hour. what's he bugged about?

about fox. why? because we're telling the truth. >> why is he still there? i thought he resigned? next, a terrifying government secret that's been under wraps for years. our dams and nuclear power plants have been hacked and now isis wants those plans. and if you get pulled over for drunk driving, you're probably getting arrested unless, of course, you're an illegal immigrant. the new exception that will in fact make your jaw drop. ♪ ♪

in the united states, the things we take most for granted like drinking water and electricity and the fact that some lakes don't flow into our cities may soon be coming under attack as hackers from foreign countries, get this, step up their attacks against our dams and even our nuclear power plants. joining us now with this exclusive information on the size and scope of the threat is the former senior policy advisor for counterterrorism and intelligence to the chairman of the house committee on homeland security joshua katz. when did you find out that this was going on? >> this has been developing situation over the last 18-plus

months. we started to identify that the chinese in particular, but other players, russia, iran and nonstate actors like isis or al-qaeda had been really want to go get as much information on our critical infrastructure our dams power, nuclear power, as much as they can. >> and you say they got it? >> they have. they've gotten it in 2013. we've seen some of them sharing the data and now last year, 2014, we actually saw them use that capability in refined targeting to break into dams, to break into some nuclear power facilities and even at points gain access to the controls. >> when you say this we saw this, are you doing that as a member of n right group or with the government? >> i do that now as part of the

n right group, trying o help my clients better understand sort of the threats that abound and what people are using the stolen data for. >> right. so you're looking at these power plants and you're seeing these other bad actors possibly bad actors have bad intentions. once this is hacked, why haven't we adjusted? why haven't we changed the codes and rearmed ourselves to prevent the cyber attacks? >> brian, that's the million dollars question here. we saw a week or so ago the administration talk about standing up a new cyber command. there is lots of different organizations within the federal government that are walking all over each other's toes trying to manage this problem. there is no strategy coming out of the white house. the problem is that the hackers all around the world, their attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated, which is preventing us from really identifying who is doing it. and as isis, we're seeing isis

capabilities grow. they're buying this sort of information on the black market. they're targeting us and they're going to have capability to cause mass damage and mass chaos around the united states but it's important also to understand that other countries can use the data to basically blackmail the united states and united states government. >> here is a quote from the director of the nsa back in november he says those control systems are the foundation to almost every network aspect of our life. it's almost among the things that concern me the most because this will be truly destructive if someone decides that's what they want to do. so obviously someone has decided that's potentially what they want to do joshua. >> absolutely, brian. basically sounded a warning that they can do this, that they are positioned to do this. they're willing to do this and they are going to do it at some point later in the future. the problem here is defending against that and making sure

that we can prevent that. right now the federal government, as well as the companies that really are running these facilities, are not stepping up. >> you could put this under the heading of bipartisan agreement cyber attacks are a priority and its prevention. this would be an opportunity for both sides to get together. joshua thanks so much. >> thanks. up next, the bill is in. how much you're paying for the president's latest get away and green fees. then, he played the blue collar guy on tv. the guy cliff from "cheers." a guy ho says america needs to get back to its roots and he's got a plan to get there too. all about manufacturing. i'm talking about john ratzenberger. he's here next. ♪ ♪

>> right. that all turned around in the '60s. about 30, 40 years ago they started canceling shop courses not thinking that they were necessary. people forgot that's what brought us to the dance. we're a nation of self-reliant, self-sufficient people, we were. and that's what i'm doing down here in atlanta. i'm going to be presenting the governor with a million dollars check from my foundation today to start the national education initiative. all the schools in georgia, hopefully we can turn it around and spread it to other states. >> this is a great initiative. the jobs are there. the jobs in manufacturing are there, if we can remove the stigma and provide the training for it when these kids graduate, they'll be able to slide into the job instead of shipping it to cheap labor overseas right? >> right. and i'm going by the german model where whether you take shop classes or whether you go into scholastics and academics

you're given the same amount of dignity and respect whether you're a brain surgeon or plumber. doesn't make any difference. that's crucial. so when someone comes out of that educational system, they feel good about the choices that they made. we need brick layers as well as we need actors and stockbrokers, that's for sure. >> something else that's in your profession you'll do anything in order to audition to get the big break. a loft actors and actresses directors are doing these type of jobs to sustain themselves until they get off to a career. so you guys have an extra appreciation for these people, don't you think? >> i don't know if everybody does. i think the standard stereotype is waiting tables. i was a carpenter. that's how i started. >> so was harrison ford. >> so was my husband. >> yeah. he's a fine carpenter. i'm a two by four carpenter. so i build houses and he makes them pretty.

trial. outrage at the border as patrol agents there are told to let drunk drivers go. there has been a newly released memo that informs border patrol agents in the tucson area that they have three choices if they encounter a suspected drunk driver. they can detain them with local law enforcement officials, detain them on their own, or set them free. but what's even worse about this, the memo actually encourages that third option by saying that agents won't be held liable if they let the driver go and that driver ends up killing someone. unbelievable. the city ofity coo, new york is tired of the weather. the tourism board simply throwing in the towel. directing visitors to this web site, to the florida keys. love it. their message was that's it. we surrender winter. you win. key west anyone? there was so much traffic to the site, that the server crashed at one point. that's a great idea.

out there. you're looking at temperatures in the 50s across parts of california, parts of arizona. it's going to be very mild out there. that's going to continue for them as well. so that similar pattern where they're looking at warmth, we're looking at east. thursday morning, look at some of the forecast low temperatures because it is going to be a cold one. you're talking temperatures not windchills, temperatures below zero in places like louisville and chicago up into fargo. then take a look at friday morning. it's going to get even colder. some of these numbers are potentially record setting. in detroit look at the forecast, 15 degrees below zero. in louisville, kentucky, 13 degrees below zero is the forecast temperature friday morning. that's just incredible cold. that would be a record event if this happened. otherwise we have a system swinging through portions of kentucky, tennessee this morning, bringing in light snow two to four inches forecast in some areas. and that system strengthens off the coast of new england. parts of maine and new hampshire could be looking at a foot of snow. let's head back inside.

causes leptin resistance. it's a hormone that tells us when we're full. so when you eat a lot of gluten-based foods you never feel full. >> wow. >> it smells great in here. you gave us some examples of meals that will have us cooking our butts off. >> in this case it's a sausage and egg breakfast. we mix the sausage and the mixing burns some calories. whipping of the egg whites burns some calories. >> whipping does burn calories. >> yes. >> you got to whip it, whip it good. >> you can burn up to 400 calories an hour cook. and the way i know it is because i check. at the end, i'll have burned more calories. >> i love you brought the science into the food because we -- >> i know being near elisabeth makes your heart race, too. >> it does yes. so in this book i design all the recipe sos that they burn more calories than they contain. in the dessert you get a net negative calorie. >> so i want to get back to the sausage and breakfast.

i've created a little whipped cream for you. >> this is dairy free? >> yes absolutely. >> what do you make it with? >> i make it with almond milk, vanilla, monk fruit and a little gelatin. >> that is fantastic. it looks great. >> thank you. so the numbers on this? >> before this would be about 280 calories. now it's 94 calories. but you burn 130 calories cooking it. so it's a net negative of 36 calories. so you're actually in calorie deficit when you eat this. >> you're saying you burn more calories -- >> you burn more than it contains. >> of course she skipped the dinner and went right to dessert. that's another issue. >> the great thing is i now sell tips with all the ingredients to the -- kits with all the ingredients to the recipes. >> 42 pounds you've lost. we're kick our butts off.

the prosecution rested yesterday and it's time for the defense to present its case in the american sniper trial down in texas. eddie ray routh's lawyers showed this new video of their client moments after he led police on a high-speed chase. in that car he told police quote, i've been so paranoid and schizophrenic today, i don't even know what to think of the world. i don't know if i'm insane. his mother also testified telling jurors that her son's life took a turn for the worse after he returned home after serving in the marines. here to break down the latest developments developments and what it could mean, fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> we're going to get at the heart of this so-called insanity defense based on the testimony of his mother. she said he struggled since service in iraq and haiti. in haiti he was dealing with dead bodies. in iraq he didn't really see

combat. that he was suicidal and that he threatened to shoot family and that he was on nine different medications, including antipsychotic, mood elevator and sleeping pills. she also told the judge outside of the jury that he has been receiving about $3,000 a month in v.a. disability benefits for his mental illness since these terrible murders. >> so the prosecution rested their case and the mom is like one of the first witnesses on behalf of the defense. she paint add portrait of a young man who went to the marines and came back damaged. >> that's right. and she made it clear that she told hospital officials that he should not be getting out of the hospital days before these killings took place. this notion of eight or nine different antipsychotic medications and then that video -- let's look at it again -- of him in the car. that may be some of the most

interesting, compelling video that that jury will see. at times he's agitated. at times sleepy. but this notion that he recognizes that somehow he's insane, that he's feeling paranoid, that he's feeling schizophrenic, in my mind, that creates real questions for the defense about that insanity defense because typically -- i'm not a psychiatrist but i spoke to one yesterday. typically that kind of self-recognition i feel paranoid, i feel schizophrenic, i don't know whether i'm insane is not usually typical of someone who cannot recognize right from wrong. he appears to be recognizing right from wrong, problems in his life on that day. >> as we look at that video right there weren't there also stories that he was high on weed and he was drunk as well? that looks like a guy who was drunk. >> alcohol, weed is not an excuse for murder. it's not recognized under texas

law. that is not a defense. insanity is defense. knowing right from wrong. that's what the jury will be making a determination about and they got a lot of stuff on both sides of the ledger yesterday to make that determination. >> all right. peter is going to be watching. thank you very much. coming up on this wednesday, you thought you left it all behind in high school, but is an office bully normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow has met some in his time and he'll weigh in next. first on this day in 1966, "lightning strikes" by lou kristy topped the charts. ♪ ♪

grounded in the channel as an ice storm moved in. and then take a look at this cute puppy pulled out of a pond in north carolina. it is cold all over the country. he was out playing with his 12-year-old owner when he fell through the ice. a lot of the nation is under a deep freeze. maria molina will have more on what is to come later in the hour. enough already right? those are your headlines. >> punxsutawney phil was right. >> i guess so. >> but it is february. that's what happens. >> that's right. and this is also happening. we have a fox news alert for you now. isis is on the march this morning. that's right. terrorists in libya who beheaded 21 egyptian christians parading their fleet of brand-new police cars in front of children there. meanwhile, we have a new report that says isis is planning to use libya as a gateway to europe and the west eventually. will this chaos open the chance for attacks to come?

>> it was in libya where the isis terrorists beheaded the coptic christians and we showed you that along the beaches. as it turns out isis in libya not too long ago -- ha is libya. that's the same country as benghazi. turns out that anisyl al-shariah, the terrorists who struck our embassy. now tenly they have turned into isis. somebody who is there at that consulate that night in september is chris paronto, also known has tanto. he says essentially the fault of this lies squarely on the shoulders of the united states of america. >> when we were there before they even attacked in 2012 we knew where ansar al-shariah were. the intel services did. so we have actually let this get to this point when we could have went in in 2012 and probably at least limited their

capabilities. you can't just come in and do air strikes. it doesn't work. you've seen the vacuum that us leaving causes and we're going to see it now in yemen, which i worked in after benghazi as well. as much as we continue to pull out of these countries, all we're letting terrorists and they are terrorists, we're letting them do is we're letting them flourish and giving them areas for training and recruit. >> and they are doing that. and they spread to libya and used libya as augiteway to europe. so they're coming after you. yesterday the egyptians reported more of their citizens were kidnapped and sadly, they could be facing the same threat in the coming days as the one who faced it over the weekend. also when you talk about syria and what's going on over there we feel terrible, there are so many refugees sitting on the jordanian border. but now the state department is pushing through a program to quickly get those refugees over here. but the problem is as we heard the testimony last week, that the counterterrorism officials say we're getting these people here and we can't even do a

background check because their government is not a i -- able to do what normal governments do. >> you're talking four million children, men and women have been forced to flee syria and 7 million displaced. >> the problem is how can you tell of those tens of thousandses that the state department wants to give refugee status, how can you tell who is a terrorist and ho is not? because keep in mind, the country of italy and other people in europe are worried that all the way from libya across northern africa into the middle east, isis is becoming so big, they're just going to come across the mediterranean. next thing you know, they're knocking on europe's door. clearly what these terrorists need are jobs. we played you that sound bite from yesterday morning. yesterday she realized she's taking a lot of heat for it. she doubled down. terrorists simply need jobs. she said that because well it's the same thing george bush said. >> look, it might be too nuanced

an argument for some. over the past 24 hours some of the commentary out there but it's really the smart way the democrats, republicans, military commanders, our partners in the arab world think we need to combat. president george w. bush talked about poverty being one of the drivers that leads people to extremism. where there are lacking in these kinds of opportunities, we need to talk about how to make that different, how to help our partners around the world give young men in that vulnerable age group a different path in life. >> maybe free community college. that's been bantered about. >> jobs. not college. jobs. >> you want to talk about education, lieutenant colonel ralph peters had something to say about marie harf and education. take a listen to this. >> marie harf is exhibit a fort comprehensive failure of the u.s. educational system. that woman has a masters degree in international relations from the university of virginia. moms and dads, save your money. osama bin laden was wealthy. major hasan, the fort hood butcher, he had a job as i

recall. he's a major in the army. do you think the guy in copenhagen this last weekend when he pulled the trigger trying to kill a cartoonist and as many other danes as he could was he screaming jobs jobs jobs? no, he was screaming allahu akbar. >> one of their messages to marie harf, there's a story out this morning that apparently some terrorist december have jobs. they're harvesting organs. they're looking at some of these bodies that isis is leaving and they're missing kidneys and other body parts. the speculation is they're harvesting organs, isis is to help fund their operation. so they got petro dollars and body part dollars. >> ambassador to iraq and to the united nations says dozens of doctors have been executed in mosul for refusing to participate in this organ harvesting program and looking in those mass graves and finding them missing. >> so it sounds like they coo have jobs. in 15 minute the official u.s. response to terrorist

attacks kicks off a summit on violent extremism at the white house. already at center stage fox news. kevin cork from fox news right there. good morning. >> good morning. that's right. violent extremism not islamic extremism, very important distinction. three-day summit as you pointed out. ed idea, according to the administration, is reach the hearts and minds of the young men that might be disproportionately affected in their communities to try to reach them before they're recruited and to terrorism by so many other killers around the world. joe biden opening the event yesterday. in the midst of this event, which is supposed to encourage discourse and the exchange of ideas, as you pointed out, eric holder came out swinging, blaming fox news for even bringing up the idea of islamic extremism. he said in fact were it not for fnc, this wouldn't be in the news. >> we spend more time, more time talking about what do you call it as opposed to what do you do

about it? you know? i mean, really, you know, if fox didn't talk about this they'd have nothing else to talk about. >> reporter: not so sure about that, especially if you watch media from all over the world. it is not just fox news channel. by the way the president has an op ed in the los angeles times today. i just want to share a little bit from that. he writes in syria and iraq, the terrorist group we call isil has slaughtered innocent civilians and murdered hostages, including americans and has spread its barbarism to libya with the murder of egyptian christians. perhaps a bit of nuance and subtle change. there it is in black and white for all to see in today's los angeles times. we'll be watching the summit here at the white house today. i'll have all the details throughout the day n the president clearly heard the pope loud and clear. >> hope so. >> we heard you loud and clear. kevin recapped everything we're talking about. now it's time for you to tell us

what's on your mind. shear what you're saying on twitter and facebook and e-mail. jim says terminology isn't the real issue. ideology is. the obama administration is ignoring radical islamic ideology. >> and shirley writes, if you do not acknowledge, who and what they are, how will you formulate a strategy to destroy it if you are not willing to identify it? thanks to everyone who responded. we love hearing from you. keep those coming. >> we do. we got smart viewers out there. coming up, president's plan to let illegals stay in the united states is supposed to take part today, takes huge hit. he's not worried. will it survive a court challenge? and could bruce jenner be going to prison? the new evidence that could put him behind bars for a deadly traffic crash ahead. ♪ ♪ if you're suffering from constipation

the attorney general of that state joins us live right now from phoenix. good morning to you mr. attorney general. >> good morning, steve, how are you doing? >> doing okay. congratulations. so far you're winning your day in court. it sounds like the judge agreed with you in that the president clearly has overreached what the constitution grants him. >> that is correct. the judge issued an injunction preventing the president and the department of homeland security from moving forward on granting amnesty to millions of people in this country. but frankly, you don't even have to listen to our argument. the president himself for years has said that he does not have the authority to do this. so that's basically what the court said is the department of homeland security cannot move forward on allowing getting these benefits to folks in the country illegally. >> you got this federal judge down in texas who says you got to stop it. it's got to be figured out in court. all right. the administration is confident

that they're going to prevail and all those people will be given amnesty. from where you sit in phoenix, what do you think either the appellate court or the supreme court is going to ultimately do? >> the fifth air kit is where the case will go next. i'm very confident the states, a majority of states have always had the winning argument that the president does not have the authority to act unilaterally. whether you're a republican or democrat, we can not have a president, whether he's frustrated or disagrees with congress, basically acting unilaterally to create an entirely new statute or new class of individuals. >> there was a tweet by richard grenell, friend of this program of the he was the spokesperson for the ambassador to the united nations for a number of years. he said this: a federal judge in texas agrees with candidate obama that president obama's executive amnesty is illegal. that's kind of funny.

one of the things, though, that the judge down in texas said was that if this law were -- it's not a law. if this executive action were to go into effect today, it would cause irreparable damage to the states. you're in arizona. what sort of damage would it cause your state? >> the litigation pointed out is everything from the obama administration saying in the texas courts that states wouldn't have to issue licenses versus in states like arizona where they've taken a position in the 9th circuit where we do have to issue licenses, everything from benefits to providing social security numbers, to providing work permits, work authorizations to folks that are in the country illegally. those are all the unintended consequences or intended consequences that directly affect the state. once again, i want to make clear this is really broader than immigration. whether you believe in immigration reform or believe we should do something about it, the fundamental question becomes can the president act

unilaterally to basically change statutes which he has no constitutional authority to do? you talked about candidate obama, president obama himself for years has said that he's not an emperor or a king and that he can't act unilaterally. but what we saw after the last election is he did. >> there is a guy in texas, a judge, who said the president can't do it and right now the president can't do it. we thank you very much for joining us today live from phoenix. >> thank you so much. coming up on this wednesday could the man behind the brutal beheadings of 21 coptic christians be from the united states? shocking new details about the possible american terrorist coming up. and his job is a hospital janitor pays the bills. but it's his secret passion that helps the patients. find out why it makes him our first hometown hero coming up next. ♪ ♪

very cold temperatures and none of that snow melting. look at some of these current windchill temperatures. in places like new york city, currently feels like 12 degrees. well below zero in chicago and also in minneapolis and it's going to stay cold out there as we head into thursday and also into friday. we could be setting record lows on friday with just how cold it's going to be. otherwise we're tracking areas of snow right now moving through parts of tennessee and kentucky. this system expected to just produce light accumulations. let's head back inside. >> please come back when it's warm. we're sick of this news. >> if you have to go out in the elements. think the up and down gas prices are the biggest threat to the economy? you are wrong. it's not oil prices at all. it's what then? >> let's ask maria bartiromo. she joins us from the "fox business" network now. americans have an extra, 715 or $50 as a result of these gas prices right now? >> for 2015. >> are they spending it? n they're not. we did have a pretty good number

when we got the gdp report out two weeks ago. it did show consumer spending was up. that was the best part of the report. however, when you look at retail sales, down eighth tenths of a percent in december down in the month of january, what is up? restaurant sales. they're going out to dinner. but the point is in all of this is that it's not necessarily oil prices that move the needle. it's actual demand and it's actual sentiments on the part of the consumer. and that's way down. you know that. >> you know what it could be is people simply are uncertain. there is so much uncertainty. yeah, gas prices have gone down. i got a little money in my pocket now but how long is it going to last? n bingo. that's exactly what it is. you don't spend a lot of money and have confidence in the future when you're uncertain. you're uncertain about your own job, the stability of your job you're uncertain about the legal story, obamacare, the expense that that's going to puton higher tax. all of these unknowns as a result of the unknowns of policies in washington has us sitting on cash, hoarding money.

>> maria made contact with me one time when she said you're uncertain about your job. i don't know what you meant by that. >> i did not! i wasn't looking at you. so not true. >> so true. >> paranoia will destroy you. >> it's really the uncertainties. >> takes about a year, right? >> about a year. people want to believe that it's sustainable, that oil prices will be down for a long time. so takes a few months to work its way through the economy. so people actually feel like okay, this is extra money that and so i'll spend it. >> you'll be outlining this on your program. we will not miss it. to find it in your area, log on to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. >> i'll see new 30 minutes. why send troops when you can send tweets? isis beheading innocent civilians on the battlefield and the white house, their response, they're going to up its social media campaign. >> thank goodness. and a man posting instructions on how to legally get out of a drink driving arrest. keep your windows up and don't

but it's what happened directly after that that police say had her loved ones defending themselves this morning. in a press conference yesterday, they told us myers was out teaching her 15-year-old daughter how to drive when another car sped up and pulled alongside her. her daughter reached over and honked the horn at the suspect. a verbal altercation followed. police say myers then drove home picked up her 22-year-old son with a gun then set off in search of that angry driver. the two eventually found the car, but then lost it, went home, and as tammy was walking to her front door the other driver came pulling up to the street and shot her multiple times in the head. tammy's son was not hit during the exchange, but defended his actions at a vigil for her last night. >> i did what i had to do to protect my family. everyone can think what they have to think. i did it for a reason. i'd do it for anyone i love.

as isis ramps up its depravity, the president concedes in an op ed that the egyptians killed were indeed christians. but insists beating isis is ultimately a hearts and mind campaign. what does that mean? dr. gentleman'ser and colonel ralph peters are here to respond. and texas governor greg abbott on what comes next for the

president's now challenged immigration plan. bill and i see you at the top of the hour. we just had a fox news alert to share with you. we just learned this, the bomb squad technicians are rushing to examine a suspicious letter sent to the swedish cartoonist. it was received at his newspaper office. it's believed the cartoonist was the likely target of saturday's shooting at a copenhagen cafe that left one person dead. he received threat threats for years over his controversial caricature of mohammed. we'll follow that story. >> thanks. why send troops when you can send tweets? the white house reportedly upping its social media campaign against isis an idea that came under fire in the senate during a hearing last week. >> unfortunately, as we all know, the government is probably not the best platform to try to communicate with the set of

actors who are potentially vulnerable to this kind of propaganda and recruitment. people who are attracted to this don't go to the government for what to do. >> joining me now former c.i.a. analyst fred. over 19 years you were with the c.i.a., someone who understands national security. what do you think about this administration really getting in there and up our social media presence against isis? >> good morning. well state department spokeswoman marie harf said we can't kill our way to victory. i don't agree with that, but we're not going to tweet our way to victory against isis either. there is a reason to have a social media strategy to try to counter isis' successful social media campaign to recruit followers and to promote its message. the problem is as the tape you played just stated the u.s. government has been pretty awful at this. isis has been expert.

but my concern is that this administration's policy towards isis is so indecisive, we will be broadcasting that indecisiveness over the internet through tweets and social media posts that i think will actually undermine our position against isis by doing this. >> i think people have the question of the fundamentals out there. what are you tweeting about? if you can't hash tag radical islam, how vague is this campaign going to be set forth by our own administration? >> that's right. we need a real strategy. the center for security policy on our web site secure freedom.org, we have a real strategy called a secure freedom strategy to defeat the global jihad movement. at the white house right now, at this counter violent extremism summit, they're dancing around all the key terms involved in this war. when these tweets come out, what are we going to see? the white house condemns violence against egyptian citizens, like what happened in libya, or please don't commit

terrorism. the u.s. has a jobs program for muslim youth? it's hard to see what the purpose of these tweets will be and social media postings until the administration comes up with a serious strategy. >> the president really used social media during his campaign when it worked for him quite well. he was real specific then. now there are so many terms that can't be used. you wonder if this is just going to undermine the overall effort and if we don't have strategy in place, is this just a hyper focus on social media on creating jobs, getting a club together for kids so they don't join isis here in minneapolis? what's going on here? >> it's a substitute for syria's policy. -- a serious policy. the administration does not want to admit who the threat is, so it's come up with this alternative. if we're not going to admit they were radical islam, like the president of france is, so he's come up with this alternate strategy of trying to fight isis through twitter facebook and youtube.

>> we have seen there is a process by which the president will name something when it is, he just finally came out after the pope said clearly what happened with the 21 christians that were beheaded were christians were beheaded. the president laid on that game, can we afford to have this social media campaign when it takes him days and the administration days to get it right? >> there is so much that has to be done to fix this strategy. what the state department spokeswoman said about terrorism is being committed by muslim youth because they don't have jobs, that was just not her talking. this was part of the president's national security strategy. this is a fundamental problem where we're underestimating the threat. >> sure. fred, you've written countless research articles here and missions here describing what actually peace keeping would entail. you spent close to 20 years in the c.i.a. and understand national security. you understand what we're dealing with and with the enemy -- what the enemy really is. what can be done?

what do they respond to? >> the president's strategy seems to be underpinned on the notion that the american people will not support sending ground troops into iraq and syria. i think he's right. that's the case right now. but there is a lot that we can do. we can arm the kurds. there is weapons in baghdad that the iraqi government won't give to the kurds. we can start having the iraqi government arm friendly sunni militias who wasn't toughie's isis, but the government won't arm them. we can insist that iran get out of iraq. iran's presence in iraq is driving support for isis among sunni groups. we can intensify bombing of positions of isis in syria. there is a lot we can do to strengthen the kurdish and iraqi armies. we can't send in american troops right now. the political environment is not there for that. but there is a lot we can do to weaken isis if we would have a strategy to do this. >> we can't tweet our way out of it. we thank you for your expertise and insight this morning.

>> thank you. now this coming up, a man posting instructions on how to legally get out of drunk driving arrests. keep your windows up and don't say a word. is this just giving drunk drivers a free pass? we report and you decide. ♪ ♪ what makes thermacare different? two words: it heals. how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you.
