xt id will be free. and what message is he sending to our enemies regarding isis terrorists. we'll see you tomorrow morning. fox & friends starts right now. good morning it's thursday, february 19th. the threat of isis rages and our allies beg for help. this morning's cover of the new york post says it all. islamic terror, i just don't see it. you won't believe the president is now lecturing you to not be pc, what? >> we'll explain that. and eric holder leaving office set to sue for racial discrimination even though michael brown charges were
3:01 am
dropped. is this about his legacy. and did you notice one former star missing from the snl alum who showed up only to be es courted to a back room. that's what they dr. to me this morning. >> if how did you wind up here. you were escorted to the back room because they thought brian kilmeade would be here, but he is off and you are in. >> always fun to have you here. and great that you're enjoying us this morning. this story will be familiar with many of our viewers. this is a fox news alert. royal air force jets scrambling to intercept russians bombers off the coast of cornwall, england. escorted the two bombers out of
3:02 am
the area. the bombers never made it into british airspace. another show of power by the russians. nearly 180 patients at ucla medical center may have been exposed to antibiotic bacteria blamed for two deaths at that hospital. they are now monitoring people who had surgeries between october and january. we'll have more on that las vegas road rage story, the family of tammy myers the woman who was shot and killed now receiving back lash for her actions prior to her death. some say she and her armed son should not have gone out looking
3:03 am
for the guy who sfrietfrightened her earlier that day but myers husband says otherwise. the big snl show, apparently not all the same. victoria jackson was ban issued to the over flow room while all the other cast members were treated treated like vips. she wrote this. quote -- we'll keep you posted if we learn what happened. those are your headlines. kind of like what we did to you, you were ban issued to the green room.
3:04 am
all right so this is the cover of the new york post. the president of the united states, islamic terror. i just don't see it. yesterday he appeared before the summit that the white house is holding down in washington, d.c. it is on violent extremism. the summit does not have islam in its name even though it really is about isis which does have islam in its name. it is the islamic state. >> that's right. >> the president said some really confounding things there's an entire list. we put together a sound byte. let's listen. >> al qaeda and isil and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy, try to portray themselves as holly warriors in
3:05 am
defense of islam. we must never accept the premise that they put forward because it is a lie. nor should we grant these terrorisms the religious legitimacy that they seek. they are terrorists people are responsible for violence and terrorism. we can't paper over problems. we're not going to solve if we're always trying to be politically al lially correct. >> many things he said, are you the police on what is terror and what is not. by the way, community organizations running to try to keep youths out of extreme behavior. >> to me it ignores the obvious. you come home and see crayon on the wall and someone standing there with crayon and you ignore
3:06 am
who it is. when the president says they try to portray themselves as religious leaders we must accept this premise because it is a lie. if you listen to isis that's exactly what they do. >> of course it is. >> they are trying to return to a seventh century version of islam, they believe it is the purest form and they put themselves out as religious leaders. >> he decided to use moral eek kwif lency. and again on the beach 21 christians were beheaded by isis and call upon the cruise aiders. >> you can see them being marched out onto the beach in libya where their heads are about to be cut off. the president also detailed earlier in the day as well talked about, well you know, keep in mind put yourself in
3:07 am
their shoes, they have some grievances as well. and we from the administration where they've been talking about, well, you know they really need jobs. when you listen to this community organizer he said it sounds like it's a crime, education and job problem. they also have a problem there were a lot of people in attendance mainly from muslim groups of one of the people who was there was a fellow bring the name of islam al muriati, he tweeted he was there he is founder of public affairs committee. >> he tweeted a picture of him and himself with joe biden. >> one thing that makes his
3:08 am
selection being there extraordinary is he is anti-israeli. he said this in 2001. if we're going to look at suspects, we should look at the groups that benefit the most -- we should suspect israel. >> his name range a bell. actually posted a detailed fact sheet on scores of controversyial statements he has made. that one being one of the most fiery fiery. congressman ryan said how disrespectful it is a slap in the face. >> i think it is a slap in the face to israel. speaker boehner and netanyahu
3:09 am
invites terror sympathizers. it's clear israel has been our partner in the war on terrorism. i'm speechless. this is why our allies don't trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. >> he has accused israel of using the holocaust as an excuse to justify what they do security security-wise. did you get the news that eric holder is leaving office but before he goes he's got one more thing he wanted to leave as part of his legacy. instead of ruling against civil rights charges in michael brown charges he's going to sue the ferguson police department for racial discriminations. >> and if they don't agree to
3:10 am
change the tactics they are currently using he is trying to force changes, some believe he is trying to map out his legacy. >> maybe. so what is the action ferguson police department is doing against people, well a lawsuit from a group of low income citizens say officers target minorities with minor traffic violations and if they can't pay they put them in jail. so there are subtle threats, if you don't change it, we're going to sue you. >> right. we know that won't go away any time soon. so the pressure to change their tactics is increases. >> one last thing to add remember that interview a week ago where he was asked to kwak like a duck he said i haven't used this department for political reasons. >> in things racial we have always been and i believe continue to be in too many ways
3:11 am
essentially a nation of coward's. >> if you look at the way attorney general was treated no one has had to deal with that kind of treatment. >> as an african-american man who has been stopped and searched by police in situation where's such action is not warranted i also carry with me an understanding of mistrust that some citizens harbor for those wearing the badge. >> he is also admittedly an activist. >> let us know which of his comments pop the most. is it time for boots on the ground? after unspeakable acts. we have a dire warning next.
3:12 am
3:13 am
across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication 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
3:14 am
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
3:16 am
isis is stepping up its killings burning 45 people to death just miles from where marines are stationed. is it time for boots on the ground. pete, is it time for boots on the ground is the big question, you say? >> it's a huge question. as a point of fact, military experts almost universally agree it we want to dislodge isis it would require american leadership and boots on the ground. air strikes alone are not doing it. if you want to defeat isis right now, it would require boots on the ground. however my giant caveat is in application do we trust there commander in chief would let the
3:17 am
troops untie their hands and let them fight real and total war so we incentivize allies to do the heavy lifting required mostly special operators and conventional troops. i am hesitant to say we want american boots on the ground with a president who hasn't done what is needed to bring in allies and clean up operations. >> it seems vague when it comes to what generals would or would not be able to do. when you see the beheadings after beheading. we saw the 21 christians beheaded and a jordanian pilot burned alive and 45 in the past couple days. i listened to dunkcan who said this is an opportunity to corner isis before they get out and
3:18 am
spread. >> it is not militarily hard to kill isis. it is going to be. when they spread out and are able to get into places like italy and move throughout europe freely it will be really hard. >> so if we don't move now what will we face later. >> yeah we know where they are now. it's like a fly trap. they are there. we can defeat them militarily as duncan said. but any network as it disperses gets more difficult to defeat. you can't allow them the ability to plot and plan and train and motivate. and the things we are seeing right now that they are doing to people in iraq and syria are a demonstration of how emboldened they are. it is not because they are psychotic killers, it's because the ends justify the means for isis. anything is fair game in pursuit of muhammad's holy warriors.
3:19 am
they are able to recruit and they are emboldening them around the world and because we can't crush that beating heart they will spread making the world a much more dangerous case. >> plausible denyiability how frustrating is that. >> you can't win when you can't name -- isis believes everyone should give up our faith and pluralism and freedoms, that's what they want around the world and are attracting a lot of people because of it. they are a growing movement that has a base of support much broader than this white would ever admit across that region. only a small percentage will pick up arms or blow themselves
3:20 am
up a large majority of muslims support a slee law that is a dangerous thing. if we see it continue we are lr seeing it spread to libya as a threat the threat gets worse. islam is the communism of our day, we need 20to confront it now before it gets more difficult to defeat. >> thank you. this pilot saved them before they came close to crashing. that pilot is now terrified. we'll tell you what happened. and leaked photos of beyonce outraged fans. what is wrong with it. we'll tell you about it. you can't predict the market. but

possibly deadly situation in skies above houston. happening a lot there. hit with green lasers as trying to land plays. these incidents happen thousands of times each year. how dangerous is this. joining us is pilot who has been lasered about a dozen time. >> yeah about a dozen time. i was helicopter pilot in houston so being low level you get exposed to the environment a lot more. people think is a joke. just 24e arethey are playing with their lasers and it is not really a joke at all. >> here's the numbers 3894 incidents last year recorded by the faa.
3:26 am
why houston, why is it happening there more than other places. >> i think it is just reported here more than other places. high density with high air traffic. we have two major airports in houston, more aircraft coming in and out and more people around. >> here's the ground. it is happening between midnight and 7:00 a.m. most happening about 7:00 about 3:00 a.m. it is happening about a thousand feet off the ground. >> right. on approach to landing the aircraft is pointed to the runway and the pilots are focused outside perfect time for a laser to be shined in their eyes, their reaction will be to be startled worse case would be flash blindness most critical
3:27 am
phase of flight can create a great hazard. >> we just showed the glare, it's amazing 250 passengers have no idea you are real heroes in that situation. your body jumps, suddenly something is happening and you're not in auto pilot. what is happening with your body connect the to that throttle. >> well if you're on the controls of the aircraft it's the startle eventuallyffect. you jump and the aircraft moves with you. any time the pilot jumps it is not a good thing. the aircraft will lurch with him. >> and the laser gets brighter and stronger the closer you get to it. >> yeah like anything it spans out with distance, if you point it on your hand you have a
3:28 am
pinpoint spot from 600 feet away it gets to be larger up to 3 feet in diameter that could create a huge obstruction in the cockpit. >> what would you say to people who think this is a joke something to do late at night. >> it's not. if you want to shine it on a ground, great, across a field, great, but not at aircraft, it's hazard, it's not safe, you can create an accident. we don't need that to happen. >> michael turner great to see you, thanks for your insight. frightening. >> thank you i appreciate it. coming up on the show major developments in the american sniper trial. the sister saying her brother was psychotic and paranoid days before the murder. and the jail employee gets the scare of her life when an

[ laughter ] >> oh, boston. >> all my friends and family there. >> we were talking about that. i said did you see the videos slow motioned head dives into the snow. >> they have been diving off the roofs of boston college into no 12340e for years. >> that's right please be careful if you're doing that. we're going to move now to extreme weather. nation is frozen, dozens of roots buckling under the weight of eight feet of snow. >> that weighs a lot. as two more winter storm systems will blast across this weekend bringing even more snow to the northeast. >> the wings of a small plane
3:34 am
completely covered in ice in nashville. any release. >> unfortunately not that soon. by sunday could see a break in the weather pattern along parts of the east coast but overall looks like next couple days and even another week we will see temperatures well below average across the northeast and mid-west mid-west. it is extremely cold for minneapolis, chicago and cleveland numbers well below zero and down into places like atlanta and memphis, wind chill in the single digits. really got to bundle up. look farther west, parts of texas, southwest, and into seattle temperatures are pretty mild. not bad for them. just a sharp contract many temperatures across the country. friday morning we could set records across the great lakz across the northeast.

3:37 am
face, do you heather. >> of course not. >> she looks great no matter what. >> nobody is perfect. dramatic testimony in the american sniper trial. his sister talking, saying he took their souls before they could take his. i asked what he meant he said they were out to get him. she then called 9-1-1. >> he said he killed two guys, went out to a shooting range. he's all crazy. all psychotic. i don't know if he's on drugs or not. >> here to break down the developments, judge, your reaction. >> good morning guys. it's unremarkable but it is what lawyers call laying the foundation meaning it's getting the evidence out there that eventually psychiatrists watching this testimony will say
3:38 am
on the basis of the description of his behavior immediately after the killings and by the way on the basis of the 15 hours that i spent this his jail cell interviewing him, there's no question in my mind he can't tell right from wrong. that's what the defense will say. the evidence from the sister and mother gives ammunition to the defense. then the government's experts will say we administered the same test and in our opinion he's weird and bizarre but knows right from wrong and the jury has to decide which team of experts they agree with. there's no question he pulled the trigger and caused their death, the question is what was going on in here at the time. >> sure. and some of the video released earlier, when he was in the back of the squad car, earlier
3:39 am
testimony was that he was drunk and smoking weed and that sort of boo behavior was perhaps consistent with that but yesterday his family saying he just wasn't right. >> it is obvious his family knew he wasn't right. it is also obvious he is not normal, maybe because of his experiences in the military or some other cause. the question is, does it rise to the level, when he pulled the trigger he thought he was shooting a sack of potatoes rather than two human beings. in the opinion of the defense it does rise to the level. i will tell you it is a very difficult defense, especially in texas, rarely does an inin sanity defense work. >> his girlfriend said the government was listening to him and she was held hoft age. >> these are all signs of
3:40 am
paranoia. >> he was eventually taken to the mental hospital there. >> oh, yeah. >> and so testimony from physicians will play into this as well. >> yes. >> is that a defense, insanity. >> paranoia breeds insanity. often people who are insane are paranoid. paranoid alone doesn't equal insanity insanity and alone doesn't make you know right from wrong. >> do they need to prove that he saw chris kyle as someone mart of the government and he was trying to protect himself. >> that would help. here's the thing they got to get his weirdness to the jury via
3:41 am
his family members and people who observed him and not from his own mouth. >> that's what is happening right now. >> and in the the days coming. >> thank you. coming up thursday. how does it make you feel, thousands of illegals set free from prison and the government says they have no idea whether they have committed crimes or where they are at. full details straight ahead. and are you stressed out. we have the number one cause of that stress and how to fix it coming to you next. >> lack of coffee? ♪ ♪ music ♪ is this the year you take the trail less travelled?

are used to people coming in to complain, i can't pay this and they put up the wall this is what it says officially but if you talk and tell your sob story, seriously, it works. people will feel for you, they are more likely to make a deal. >> and you say don't take out your emotional state on the person helping oughtyou at the doctor's office. >> why should you. make them relate to you as a person. >> great advice. >> so you can get those $7 tylenol taken off. >> bring a chicken. >> great advice. >> by the way if they are not open to adjusting they are the wrong doctor. >> by the way you look hand some. >> you sure do. it's an illegal loophole is

a fellow there lawyer claims he found a legal loophole that let's anybody beat a dui checkpoint. according to his web site, fairdui.org, it's as easy as not opening up your car window and not saying a word. a video demonstration has gotten more than 2 million views on the internet. take a peek. >> i want my attorney. but also on the flyer i have my valid registration, my valid insurance, and my driver's license. >> the big question is, is this encouraging drunk drivers just to beat the law? joining us is attorney and author of "fair dui, warren" and steve is an attorney with a specialty in dui law. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> so warren, let me get this straight, if you're pulled over at a checkpoint you simply hold up this flyer that you've got and it says i'm not going to open the window. i want to talk to my attorney. i remain silent. no searches. i want my lawyer.
3:53 am
you've done this. explain why it's working. >> because the police are very restricted in a checkpoint to what they can do. the guidelines are they're supposed to ask to see your license and you show it to them through the window. their guidelines don't give them more leeway than that. the courts have been limiting on what they can do in a checkpoint. you're he complying. i think people think this is confrontational with police. you're complying with the checkpoint. you're stopping. you're asserting your rights which you have every right to do, and showing the police officer the documents he needs to see. we've done about eight of these, the police officers are fine they let us go. >> so in other words, the police officers are simply reading that along and by law, you don't have to open up your window? >> correct. certainly people who disagree with me about this. and the key is you don't voluntarily roll down your window. if you're ordered to roll it down, i think in general it's good idea to follow the police's orders and not get beat up or whatever. but if it's an order now you
3:54 am
have something i can use to defend you in court if something comes up later. if you volunteer it, you sacrificed an argument i need to defend you. >> steve, you got a problem with this. what is it? >> a couple of problems. number one what you're doing in essence by holding up this sign is you're drawing attention to yourself, which is not what i think you want to do when you're going through one of these checkpoints. you could very well be waved on without any interaction depending how it's designed. the other problem is what you alluded to previously, is that this may be encouraging a conflict with the police who are not familiar with this particular type of tactic and the individuals who may be displaying this sign, if they are asked to lower that window they may be under the false impression that they don't have to do that and then you're asking for trouble. i think that you did a real disservice to any individual that has to go through one of these checkpoints. >> warren, aren't you afraid, by showing people how to do this, some drunk drivers are going to
3:55 am
wind up getting through the checkpoint and could cause some serious damage to themselves or other people? >> no, i don't worry about that at all because this is something that is difficult to do if you're drunk. it requires you to be patient and remain silent and follow instruction. those are things police test for when they have you on the side of the road. they look for whether you follow instructions well. these are things that if you're able to do this, then you should do well on the road side test anyway. >> steve, i'll give you the final word. >> the bottom line is, you should roll down your window. that's the bottom line. that's what these checkpoints are designed to do is for the police to be able to detect whether or not you are in fact intoxicated. if you're not rolling down that window, you're in essence getting in the way of the police investigation, which has already been deemed to be constitutional by the u.s. supreme court. >> all right. good discussion. warren, the author of "fair dui" and steve raiser we thank you both for joining us today. >> thank you.

4:02 am
are racial discrimination tactics. that investigation stems from a lawsuit that was filed by low income residents accusing police officers of targeting minorities with traffic tickets and jailing them if they couldn't pay the fine. the justice department will reportedly sue ferguson pd if it does not make changes to work better with minorities. this coming days before the results are released in the civil rights investigation of the michael brown shooting. "american sniper," the most popular movie in the country why are movie experts saying it won't win best picture this sunday at the oscars? we remember that sweet scene. the fake baby in the film causing a big stir on the internet and some believe that's why it won't win. what? the story goes that on the day of the shooting the real baby it had a fever and could not make the shoot. so the back up baby was a no show. the director said go get a doll.
4:03 am
not sure what that has to do with it. >> so the story is because they used a doll and not a real baby, it won't win an oscar? >> yeah. we're still looking into that one. >> the doll can't win. >> the baby is not nominated for an academy award. under all the union guidelines, if there is like a fake actor that maybe gets voted out -- >> i think we need one or two more details in that story. >> now this, a fox news alert for you. as isis marches through the middle east slaughtering innocent people, president obama holds a summit on violent extremism. >> the president still refusing to mention islamic terrorists or radical islam even saying we aren't at war with islam. >> that's right. this morning the cover of the new york post says islamic terror, i just don't see it. leeland vittert is covering this live from our dc bureau. >> reporter: good morning. the anti-violent extremeism, counterterrorism summit continues today, although the white house has been hard
4:04 am
pressed to explain the deliverables, meaning exactly what will come out of the discussion. and still they are refusing to label even isis as islamic terrorists. the president's speech to muslim leaders was rich with language yesterday afternoon, but short on how the u.s. would win on the battlefield against isis. instead focusing on how to help muslims. >> we do have to address the grievances that terrorists exploit, including economic grieveances. poverty alone does not cause a person to become a terrorist. any more than poverty causes someone to become a criminal. >> he is insulting so many of reform minded muslims who are trying to reject and push back thoecracy while he's saying they're coming out of thin air and it's a crime education and a job problem, which is absurd and oversimplifying.
4:05 am
>> reporter: the conference comes as the president is under growing pressure about his language when talking about islamic terrorism. his victims and its perpetrators. in the president's op ed in the los angeles times, that discuss the anti-extremism conference he only briefly mentioned the 21 christians beheaded in libya. you might remember the white house statement overt weekend only referred to them as civilians. back to you in new york. >> that's right. thank you very much. we'll talk more about that in just a minute. what's interesting about what we just reported right there we know the president is not going to call them islamic extremists or muslim radicals or any of that. we just know it's not in his dna right now. >> he feels as though it might legit mayes their religion. >> these organizations are trying to get their followers to slaughter nonbelievers and muslims who are moderates as well. but the new part is -- we kind of heard this from the spokesperson from the state department a couple days ago -- that the problem is these people have legitimate grievances.
4:06 am
they need jobs. so what was the legitimate reason behind the brothers at the finish line in boston? keep in mind these are subhumans who kill 13-year-olds for watching soccer and rape six-year-olds as well. >> we've seen terrorists in the past, when go into the history books of recent you see the leaders of such violent movements had jobs and haven't come from the poorest of communities. >> charles krauthammer says this president is completely out of touch with reality. he was on "special report" last night talking about these special grievances, this idea of giving these terrorists jobs. listen to charles. >> it sounds like a community organizer talking about outreach to begrieved communities. if you listen to the president today and his emphasis on islamic grievances on reaching out, on making muslims feel comfortable and not excluded you would think that we are responding to the execution the
4:07 am
beheading of 21 muslims on behalf of 21 extreme christians somewhere in the world. it is so divorce from reality, as if the problem is the lack of understanding of muslim grievances particularly in the middle east. we talk about root causes as if that's going to make any difference whatsoever. >> they're different from al-qaeda. the white house continues to lump isis together with al-qaeda in the way in which they feel they can get to the root of this. many members of al-qaeda go and shop like we do. and isis can't stand them. they call them moderns that these other terrorists are using modern conveniences. isis is different from al-qaeda. so you're not going to be able to get to the root cause by trying to change their opinion, give them jobs. you have to wipe them off the face of the earth. >> you're not going to get to the root cause if you can't get to the root cause. if you don't want to say what's going on. >> you guys need to lay off of
4:08 am
them because they've got legitimate grievances. >> what are they? >> before you behead somebody, what's your beef? >> we're asking the administration to name who the enemy is, which is but it also -- it was a delay of game when it came to identifying those 21 christians who were beheaded by the water. the white house statement initially called them citizens. fellow citizens. this is what they said: we offer our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the egyptian government and people as they grieve for their fellow citizens. it was not until the pope and millions of people stood up and said, wait a second. why are you not naming them as christians who were slaughtered? isis themselves says they took their swords and cut their heads off called them people of the cross. >> right. the curious thing there is they would not refer to them as christians, even though they were beheaded because they were christians. and yet, it was noted yesterday during the press briefing ed henry was talking to josh
4:09 am
earnest about how they ignored the fact they were christians, and yet the white house put out a statement about the brutal murders of three young muslims in chappell hill, even though the crime may have been over a parking dispute. >> that's an awful tragedy that those three died. it's still being investigated. there is nothing that has linked faith tho this so far. >> the paper that came out -- >> christians killed by muslims is that relevant? >> it sure is because the isil extremists who carried out this attack indicated that the reasons they were killing them wasn't just because they're egyptian but because they're christian. >> why were you not clear on sunday? why didn't you say 21 christians were killed? >> i tried to be clear here. i can't account for that specific line in the statement. >> yeah. ed was pointing out that statement from the white house was written by josh earnest. it was released under his name.
4:10 am
that's why he was grilling him on that. >> of course. every right to do so there. yeah the white house there naming faith in one case until they investigated and unable to name it when it's clear as day to everybody else that christians were murdered at the hands of isis but they couldn't initially say it. so you get ready for college and think i'm grown. you pack up your bag your goods, you move into your dorm room you and think you're all grown up. there is one liberal college professor there who says no no. everyone thinks you're grown up when you get to college, but you are wrong. he says at the university of chicago professor, they're up in arms and see the rules as an assault on free speech and individual liberty. they think universities are treating students like children and they are right. students are children, not in terms of age, but in terms of maturity, even in college. they must be protected like children while being prepared to be adults. so really denying students the rights of adults because you don't think they're mature. >> it's an interesting debate. he's making the argument that you're just not ready for it. you're immature. you're children when you get to
4:11 am
college. >> please be quiet. you don't know what you're talking about until you're in your late 20s before you can get out there and hold protests and have all of these free speech marches and hand out pamphlets. just sit in your dorm room and keep quiet. >> eric posner, the professor there, he's also a writer for slate. we're not sure if this is just a provocative piece or not. but apparently he's that procter parent. >> let me play devil's advocate. i went to college with some guys that probably shouldn't have been in college. they were like children. and they dropped out after a short amount of time. is he covering everyone in a blanket statement? >> is it romper room or is it -- look, if you're 18 years old, you're an adult. >> that's right. by law. >> just because you're in college doesn't mean you have given up your constitutional rights. >> you can fight in a war. >> you would think that he would understand it because he's a professor at the university of chicago law school. >> he even said this the crack down on freedom of speech isn't
4:12 am
limited to classrooms. he also believes they should not have freedom of speech anywhere on campus. they should create a more positive environment because they're too offensive. >> didn't liberals always put out that college campuses were the bastion of free speech, that's that's where go to free flowing ideas? >> perhaps some of the children on the campus aren't agreeing with what he says. so he wants to silence them. let us know what you think. straight ahead the state department spokesperson took a lot of heat for claiming more jobs would stop terrorists from killing people. now she's doubling down, blaming george bush. >> george w. bush talked about poverty being one of the drivers that leads people to extremism. >> is that true? we're going to talk to former secretary of defense donald rumsfeld who worked for president bush next. and ice, ice, busted. big trouble for vanilla ice. ♪

4:18 am
but you can't defend everywhere at every moment against every possible technique. you have to go after them and kill them or capture them. there isn't any other choice. it's too bad. but that's the reality. >> there is another choice aside from killing them or capturing them and that is giving them jobs. listen to this. >> 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, show them that there is a different chance for them than joining a terrorist organization. >> what do you think about that? >> well, i think it's a little insulting to people who are jobless or poor to suggest that that is the cause of terrorism. the overwhelming majority of people who are jobless are not terrorists. they don't strap bombs on their children or their women and send
4:19 am
them into a shopping center to kill innocent men women and children. what is true is that there is a radical element in a jihaddist element in that faith that is taking over these and teaching young people not how to get jobs, but teaching them how to go out and kill people. i think that -- her comments sound a little like a high school debate and she got the wrong side of the argument assigned to her. >> it does look pretty foolish. but according to the president these guys have legitimate beefs. they've got legitimate grievance s. >> well, i'd have to hear what he has to say about the kind of grievances that inspire and authorize a person to go out and execute christians and jews and cut off heads and blow up shopping centers and attack jewish delis and desecrate

4:26 am
comply with this law. law enforcement doesn't support it either. >> law enforcement does not support it? >> atf has said fraternal order of the police association have all said this ought to be studied further before it's mandated and the patent holder the inventer said this should not be mandated into law and studied further. all the peer reviewed independent studies that have y the university of california-davis and by the national research council, all reached the same conclusion. the technology doesn't work. it doesn't produce the information reliably consistently legibly and that the markings on the firing pin, very shallow, half the diameter of a human hair. you could remove those markings with a nail file in your purse. >> they're that easily removed? >> yes. >> in saying, if a bullet does not have this micro stamping and

4:28 am
>> we have said consistently and told the california legislature when they were considering this bill, we would support a federal study to try to find out whether this technology can be made to work the way the patent holder conceives it. but the reality is it doesn't do that now. and even if it did, i don't know that this would actually help law enforcement very much because the average gun that's traced being used in crime was originally sold at retail over 11 years prior to the gun being used in a crime. so you're talking about almost 12 years before you get any useful information. so it's really not going to assist law enforcement and most guns used are stolen anyway. >> it's a huge assault on constitutional rights. >> there is a lawsuit in federal court to declare it unconstitutional and there is a state court action to declare the law invalid because it can't be complied with. >> larry, we want to thank you for being with us today. >> thank you for having me. now this coming up nfl star

4:38 am
statements about the exceptionalism of america, it sounds like he's more of a critic than he is a supporter. you can be a patriotic american and be a critic, but then you're not expressing that kind of love that we're used to from a president. >> sure. that kind of goes along with what the president wrote yesterday in the l.a. times where he was talking about isis which as we all know, islamic terrorists. he won't say islamic. but he said they have legitimate concerns. put yourself in their shoes. >> i think in the context of what we're facing right now, this is very very damaging statement. >> why? >> because we're facing are people chopping people's heads off, burning people killing people because they're christians, killing people because they're jews. the president who won't acknowledge that. so what he's got to do if he wants to create a bottle of ideas, a battle for the hearts and minds of people we got to call it something. you and i cannot have a

4:40 am
gentleman you have had many generals and colonels tell you that. but you also can't have the battle of ideas. what i question about the president, maybe it's even broader that he doesn't express love of america enough, which i don't think he does. he talks more about criticism than about what an exceptional country we are. maybe i'm missing something. but i don't feel that. i don't also believe he expresses a love of western civilization that he should or understanding of western civilization or what western civilization has brought to the world. it's had grave grave faults, terrible sins but it's also gone through things like the protestant reformation the catholic counter reformation. we have three different forms of judaism, reformed, conservative orthodox. they all live together. one time they did stone each other a long time ago. but how about we talk about how we get islam into the modern age where there is a recognition that you have to have this kind of debate within your religion

basically he could be let totally free, walk away. here is how the customs and border protection explains itself because of this memo. we only learnd about this because judicial watch got their hands on it. so this was kept quiet. border patrol agents as federal law enforcement officers are not peace officers. under the laws of many states. basically trying to draw a line that they're not police officers. they're border patrol agents. so if they see somebody drunk they can let them go. we don't want them to get sued. >> and so this is obviously letting us know they're targeting illegals to be able to let them go and drunk drive on our highways. >> unbelievable. >> because the border patrol that's what they deal with. number one that i've always said is any time an illegal is here in our country, they're already -- they already have committed a crime. now driving drunk, they're a repeat offender. if any of us -- arizona has some of the strongest dui laws, if any of us american citizens are caught driving drunk our lives

good morning. this thursday february 19. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. they're burning and beheading innocent people in the name of allah. but this morning's cover of the new york post says it all. islamic terror i just don't see it. more on the president's extremism summit ahead. and he saw the rise of isis back in 2003. so what does secretary of defense, formerly, donald rumsfeld say now? >> this administration is in a serious state of denial and doesn't want to face up to the reality that there are people out there that are determined. >> there are indeed. should the president, the current one, be taking notes
5:00 am
from donald rumsfeld? you'll hear more of what he had to say straight ahead. what's everyone in new england doing with all that snow right now? take a look. >> no! >> what? >> look at that. >> jumping off the roof. looks like fun, right? but the mayor of boston isn't laughing. he has to tell them not to do it. look out for the fence post. >> "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. stay indoors. >> hi, this is victoria jackson. you are watching "fox & friends." >> yes. she's in the news. you'll find out why in a minute. to the point about the people jumping in the snow remember when you were a kid and you would sweep up the leaves and there would be a big pile and you would jump in them? >> yeah. >> not the same thing. >> jumping off a second story. one guy hit a roof on his way down. he had a vestibule sticking out. >> before you launch yourself out of your home into the pile of snow, understand there is also some ice in there.
5:01 am
>> i wonder what the blood alcohol level is on all these people. that guy. >> they have about had it. >> forget this ever happened! >> we're going to tell you more about that in a little bit. but right now we turn over to heather who has got some scary news about a super bug. >> i do. then we'll get to that snow story in just a minute. let's start with a fox news alert. potentially deadly super bug is causing a massive scare at a california hospital nearly 180 patients at the ucla medical center may have been exposed to the antibiotic resistant bacteria. seven people who received procedures were already infected and now doctors are trying to determine if the bacteria is to blame for two deaths that took place. the hospital keeping a close eye on patients who have had surgeries between october and january. also developing at this hour, royal air force jets scrambling to intercept russian bombers off the coast of england just outside of cornwall.

5:03 am
such a good idea. take a look as we show you more of these people up in the boston area. it's a social media trend that are calling it the boston blizzard challenge. they're recording themselves jumping off of roof tops and into huge piles of snow. they've had like eight feet of snow this season. the mayor not impressed. listen. >> i'm asking people to stop the nonsense right now. these are adults. jumping out windows. they seem like it was a fun thing to do, but you have no idea what's happening. it's a foolish thing to do and you could kill yourself. this isn't loon mountain. >> february is already the snowiest month on record. two more winter storms taking aim at the northeast. i love how the lady doing the signing does this sign, the dive sign, as in not a good idea to do this. >> that's right. i bet there is a lot of beer involved, especially with that
5:04 am
guy. what do you think? >> sam adams? >> something. >> thanks, heather. elisabeth was holding up the cover of the new york post today. the president of the united states appeared at that extremist summit yesterday. he would not refer to violent extremeism -- in fact the summit didn't even have islam in its name, even though isis does. the islamic state. >> that's right. >> he refuses to acknowledge what it is. >> isis expanding territory beheading 21 christians by the water, egyptian citizens is what he originally referred to them as. 60 different countries traveled to washington for the summit. representatives from boston minneapolis, where they're instituting programs for influenced minds to give them a job instead. no mention of radical islam and he also went on to say all of
5:05 am
this. >> isil and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. they try to portray themselves as religious leaders holy warriors in defense of islam. we must never accept the premise that they put forward because it is a lie, nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. they are not religious leaders. they're terrorists. no religion is responsible for terrorism. people are responsible for violence and terrorism. we can't paper over problems. we're not going to solve this if we're always just trying to be politically correct. >> that's ignoring exactly what isis has said publicly. he says trying to portray themselves as religious leaders. we shouldn't give them that credit. they think they're holy warriors in defense of islam. they are not. we should never acknowledge that. but that's precisely what they
5:06 am
say about themselves. they even look down their noses at al-qaeda. they think they're too modern. so this is exactly what they say in their speeches and rhetoric. >> that's why that photo is so important because he's saying if we don't call it then it doesn't legit maze it. in fact, it excises clearly -- exists clearly by name. >> he's right, they're not religious leaders. but they're leaders who use religion and they want to kill us. this is something that donald rumsfeld back in 2003 saw coming. he wrote a memo about it regarding an arrest al-islam which has become islam. he said it's pretty clear that our coalition can win in afghanistan and iraq in one way or another, but it will be a long, hard slog with respect to ansar al-islam. we are just getting started. of course, that became isis. he was with us just about 55 minutes ago and he said this about that. >> the administration is in a serious state of denial and doesn't want to face up to the
5:07 am
reality that there are people out there that are determined to kill innocent men women and children. and they're jihaddists and they are a minority in the muslim faith, but we have -- you can't defend everywhere at every moment against every conceivable technique. you have to go after them and you have to kill them or capture them and there isn't any other choice. it's too bad, but that's the reality. >> but there is one other choice, according to the administration, give them a job. >> right. give them a job. more on that in a moment. or hold an extremism summit and not invite any world leaders which is what the white house did. however, they did invite this guy. he is controversial for a number of reasons, none which have is the comment he made after 9-11 when he was saying look, when you're looking for suspects, look at israel. and he said this about that: if we're going to look at suspects, we should look to the groups that benefit the most from groups that benefit from these
5:08 am
kinds of incidents. i think we should put the state of israel on the suspects' list. that's just one comment on a long list of things. we only know he was there yesterday because he tweeted out that he was there hanging out with vice president joe biden. >> he tweeted this, we joined vice president joe biden for a discussion at the white house #see the summit which kicked off today. >> no world leaders, but he was there. >> a detailed fact sheet was listed on all the controversial statements he made. but he was in attendance where they're talking about terror. >> the white house did not make the guest list public, but attendees for the most part were from muslim groups, not surprising. representative ryan zinky was on the record with greta last night and had this to say about this curious election of that man being invited. >> i think it's a slap in the face to israel. the speaker boehner invites prime minister netanyahu. this administration invites a terrorist sympathizer. i think the contrast is clear. israel has been our partner in
5:09 am
the war on terrorism. i'm speechless because once again, it's a slap in the face of israel and certainly this is why our allies don't trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. >> meanwhile, the white house keeps digging itself deeper and deeper hole because this week the white house issued a press release condemning the violence against those 21 individuals who were decapitated who ended up being christian, by the way. but that was not in the official white house response. josh earnest, who released that statement, was grilled yesterday by our own ed henry to why we didn't acknowledge the fact they were christians when they first released that statement and had to come back and walk it back. >> so this is a statement that originally said officially. we offer our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the egyptian government and the people as they grieve for their fellow citizens generic. >> fellow citizens. keep in mind then the pope came out and the pope said, look they were killed because they were christians. there is no ifs ands or buts
5:10 am
about it. ed henry yesterday in the briefing room asked josh earnest about his comments. >> why didn't you mention it was 21 christians killed by muslims? >> is that relevant? >> it sure is because the isil extremists who carry out this attack indicated that the reason they were killing them wasn't just because they're egyptian, but also because they were christian. >> given that, why were you not clear on sunday? why didn't you say 21 christians were killed? >> i tried to be clear here. i can't account for that specific line in the statement. >> i can't account for that. >> yeah. so they wouldn't mention the fact that those 21 people were beheaded and they were christians. however, down in chappell hill north carolina, after those three -- this is the statement the white house put out -- the brutal murders of three young muslim americans, the white house pointed toward their religion even though the crime was probably it looks like the investigation is ongoing.
5:11 am
but it looks like it was over a parking dispute. >> the white house first reaction is, you just said was to point to their faith. where -- >> there is no gray area on these people that were beheaded. the children that are also being killed are being told to renounce jesus christ or they will be killed. there is no gray area. >> before they were beheaded, their cries were jesus, help me. help me jesus. >> it's 12 minutes after the top of the hour on this really busy thursday. >> that's right. coming up here a terrorist is on trial in new york city and the information coming out is stunning. like bin laden used mafia style tactics. what's wrong with these pictures? released photos of beyonce outraging her fans. we'll explain why coming up. ♪ ♪

the trial for an alleged al-qaeda operative underway in new york city. 28-year-old nasir is accused of leading a u.k. terror cell that plot to do repeat devastation of 9-11 right here on u.s. soil. he denies the charges. but the prosecution says they found concrete evidence in the raid that killed osama bin

laden, documents in his compound back in 2011. our next guest says the trial underscores the real and present threat to the homeland that still exists. thomas dupree is a former assistant district attorney under the bush administration and the obama administration. nice to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> one of the biggest headlines is the scale to which this attack would have paralleled what we saw on 9-11. how so? >> well, they're trying to link nsair to three attacks, one in kobe am hagan, man chester and new york. the new york attack might have been the most deadly. they appear to have been focusing on an attack on the subway system in new york and it was clearly bin laden's goal to get as close to replicating devastation of 9-11. >> what were they plan not guilty england? >> they were looking at an attack on a shopping mall. so they were attempting to target innocent civilians men, women, children who were just out for the day shopping ordinarily and they would set off a bomb. >> what is the defense trying to say that this guy is some sort of random lackey almost like an intern?
5:17 am
he didn't really have any operational awareness about this plan, did he? >> well, his defense is that he is a complete innocent. i should point out that he made in my judgment a very poor decision to represent himself. it's the same thing that mussaui made. he says he's an ordinary guy. they got the wrong guy. he's innocent. his code messages with bin laden and the other jihaddists were simply innocent messages about dating and searching for a wife when, in fact, it appears the evidence is very powerful that he was planning and coordinating these terrorist attacks. >> some of the big headlines from this trial, and this is not getting a lot of coverage, which i don't understand, but there are a number of documents that will be featured during this trial. eight documents specifically that were found where? >> they were found during the raid in bin laden's compound in pakistan. what makes this particularly interesting is that this really is the first time that we've seen a lot of this evidence that we gathered in that raid. most of what we captured was classified and now it's beginning to be declassified.
5:18 am
this trial is really the first opportunity that many in the public have to see some of the fruits of that raid. >> some of this -- we'll put this up. there was a pledge of allegiance to al-qaeda that was discovered in the raid and it reads this way: i accept your allegiance on behalf of sheik osama to listen in hardship and ease. isis still refers to osama bin laden as sheik. that's pretty terrifying. but we also are learning there could be another large scale attack coming our way, given some of this evidence at this trial. what do you know about that? >> well, what we know about that is that it always was bin laden's objective and it continues to be al-qaeda's objective to strike again in the homeland. there are ongoing plots, the documents we got revealed a bunch of different plots a bunch of different operatives a bunch of different terror cells. i think what this trial underscores is that although our attention often is focused particularly recently on these terrorist attacks that are currently overseas we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the jihaddists are still looking to strike us here at home.
5:19 am
>> members of mi 5 are testifying. how are they going to be testifying? >> that's very interesting. they are going to be testifying at this trial with wigs and make-up to protect their identities from a public trial. this again, underscores that there are ongoing operations, ongoing investigations in england and elsewhere and for that reason, law enforcement and the intelligence community doesn't want to put its agents out there in public view. so they'll be testifying in disguise at this trial. >> wow. fascinating. tom, great to see you this morning. thanks. >> absolutely, thank you. coming up, your mom said that china is yours when she passes. but her will says differently. so what happens? will her word stand up in court? bob massi has legal advice that every family needs to hear. look at this trail blazer. driver pops the curb takes to the sidewalk instead of the highway. what's going on behind the wheel? too much traffic? ♪ ♪

way to keep your family out of court? fox news legal analyst bob massi is here with everything you need to know. bob, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> we'll get to the question about china in a moment. but first this is the process we're going through at the doocy house. my dad died a year ago. he didn't have a will. so now we're in the probate stage. explain what that is. >> probate is the process where if you have a will or don't the court acknowledges is that there was a will and, in fact they validate it's a legal document. they appoint the exec it inventory and your wishes are fulfilled, but it's a process of going through the court. people think, steve, when you have a will that it's a vehicle to avoid probate. in fact, when you have a will, it actually ends up in a probate process in the court of law. >> in our case we're in probate because there was no will. but even if you have a will you wind up going through probate,
5:25 am
right? >> either way. no matter what. if you don't have a will or have a will, unless, which we'll talk about, there are certain exceptions that you could avoid that process. >> okay. since you just touched on that, what are the ways to avoid the probate process? >> some of the most common things you could do. obviously the most obvious thing is if you have a life insurance policy, you basically name a named beneficiary. if you have bank accounts, you can name a specific beneficiary called pay upon death. somebody passes, you take the death certificate to the insurance company, to the bank to your stockbroker, they pay directly to you to that person who is the named beneficiary. >> that's so much easier. >> it's easier it's quick it's inexpensive, and in the alternative, you could create what we call a living trust. essentially what that is is a document that you create where let's say husband and wife, you're both what you call the trustees. your assets are transferred into the name of the trust. so the steve doocy family trust. your home is in the trust your bank accounts in the trust.
5:26 am
when you pass, the trust lives on and avoids the probate process. it's a very good vehicle for people to have to avoid the cost of probate. >> all right. what about this, can anybody contest a will? >> well, any interested party in the estate -- this happens a lot, look you get kids who for whatever reason they're estranged from their family and the parents come in. i've had it happen over the years, say you know what? i haven't heard from my son in 20 years. i don't want to give him anything. so you disinherit, which is difficult to do. sometimes i tell them, listen don't even disinherit. give them $1,000 or $500. but if somebody does contest if somebody does contest, there is what's called a no contest provision, meaning that whatever you did get, if you contest it and lose you get nothing. so it's very important that you understand when you see a lawyer that they explain the no contest clause to you. >> and finally, at the top i mentioned mom told me i was going to get the china or she
5:27 am
was going to give me the jewelry in the will. do verbal agreements count? >> cannot tell you how disturbing this is, where mom and dad, their heart is in the right place a verbal representation like that as we covered in an e-mail last week,: generally2iñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? is never enforceable. that will that trust, they are the controlling document. what you say in good faith and they say, mom said i could have the china and dad said i could have the guns. bottom line is too bad. that final document is your final word. that is the controlling document that a court of law in probate or living trust will dictate regardless of what's said verbally. >> when they say something to us, we put it up here. but they got a lot going on. they forget to write it down. write it all down. folks, if you got questions for bob massi, e-mail him on our web site and click on legal ease logo and who knows, you might be on tv talking about your

significant. >> yes. >> 36 days of battle. >> yes. >> 7,000 american lives lost there. 25,000 casualties overall. a day that should not be forgotten. 70 for 70 is the hashtag. the web site is mc-lef.org. send your video there is and call on three friends to really challenge three other friends so that this stays in our hearts and honors the great patriots and heros of this nation. >> exactly. the marines will be fighting in the future. we need to take care of their children. >> you are right about that. your foundation certainly does. we thank you for being here. the great work that you do. >> thank you. >> wonderful patriot. now this the state department said we could stop terrorists by giving them jobs. i know. guess what? we just tried. six gitmo detainees. things didn't exactly go as planned in terms of their work. moments from now the president is set to speak at a summit on so-called violent extremism. we are live from the white house with that for you next.
5:48 am
first, we're going to check in with martha mccallum. >> good morning. now vp biden reportedly talks about violence done, quote in the name of the bible. so who is taking credit for the white house push for this moral equivalency? you may be surprised who is patting themselves on the back for this tactic. and the white house talks about the legitimate grievances of isis. ed henry's firey exchange on that and muslim groups and nations beg for our help against isis. so what exactly are we doing militarily? an amazing update on that when we see you at the top of the hour.
5:49 am
5:51 am
5:52 am
>> yesterday the president still refused to mention islamic terrorists or radical islam. >> so what could we expect today? kevin cork is live at the white house. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, guys. once again, the summit continues today. the president will speak once again. you heard him yesterday talk to attendees here at the summit. while the white house quite honestly has been hard pressed to sort of explain or unpack the deliverables, what to expect after all this talk, the truth is we do know one thing, they're still very hesitant to identify terrorist groups as islamic terrorist groups. among those obviously isis. the president's speech to muslim leaders was rich with language, but truth be told, pretty short on how the u.s. would win on the battlefield against isis. instead once again focusing on how to help muslims. >> we do have to address the grievances that terrorists exploit, including economic grieveances. poverty alone does not cause a person to become a terrorist
5:53 am
any^ more than poverty alone causes somebody to become a criminal. >> he's insulting so many millions of reform minded muslims who are trying to reject and push back theocracy and the leader of the free world is saying well, these terror groups are sort of coming out of thin air and it's just sort of a crime, education and job problem, which is absurd and oversimplifying. >> reporter: as you might imagine, this is obviously a very huge sticking point coming on the heels of the president's continued struggles if you will with labeling terrorism extremism, as islamic extremism. we've heard that so much in the media, but the white house is still very hess has not and they've told me off the record, i think i shared this with you earlier in the summit. they simply don't want this to come out as it's us against islam. it's not that case. but the truth is, we have all seen on many, many occasions that they just seem hesitant to
5:54 am
mention islamic extremism when that's what the terrorists claim. >> on the cover of the new york post, there is the headline today. there is the president with the blindfold. they photo shopped that in. islamic terror, i don't see it. >> while they've been hesitant to call it islamic extremism, they haven't been hesitant in trying to figure out exactly how to solve this problem. >> they got grievance as soons. >> that's according to the state department saying islamic terrorists, they have grievances and the best way to combat that is to get them jobs. >> sure. >> to get them working again. >> ohm problem is that the job for jihadis program isn't going so well. look at this controversy in uruguay. remember the six released there? the president who pushed the program through went to go visit them and after his visit, he said on his radio show, this is the president, said that the former detainees are far from the ancestors of uruguay who are gritty, hard working immigrants,
5:55 am
so those these detainees who were put there, don't have the hard work and grit that the people of uruguay do and says they were offered jobs and they turned them down. >> so marie harf if you're watching right now, and i'm sure you would be just know whoa you're saying what they need are jobs this is concrete evidence that these particular detainees probably formerly in the terror business, they don't have a work ethic and they don't want a job. actually maybe they want a job, they just don't want to work. >> they're not accepting it. they've had offers and turning them down. so so much for jobs for jihadis. up next, nfl star collin kaepernick attacking a fan on twitter saying you got eight followers, bro. your own family don't want to know what you do. now that last fan is getting the last laugh. >> did it hurt your feelings, clayton? >> it did. ♪ ♪
