a latte follower, online video going viral showing you how it make it on the cheap. >> making it for like 20 cents. >> it's frothy. >> see you on friday everybody. bill: we are watching the movements from washington. john kerry saying we can stop the violence by addressing the violence in the communities. the critics question the focus and whether it's a discussion we need to be having at the moment. welcome to america's newsroom. martha: i'm martha maccallum. president obama is about to speak about at this summit. he's urging world leaders to embrace muslims and embrace extreme ideologies such as the notions that western countries view islam as the enemy.

>> we are not at war with islam. we are pat war with people who perverted islam. they propagate the notion that america and the west generally is at war with islam. that's how they recruit and try to radicalize young people. we must never accept the premise that they put forward. because it is a lie. nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy they seek. they are not ridge leaders -- they are not religious leaders they are terrorists. martha: what do we expect to hear today from the president? >> reporter: the white house has been hard pressed to explain the deliverable on this conference. meaning what they hope will come

out of these discussions that would make the world a safer place. yesterday the president's speech to muslim language was rich with language but short with how the united states will win on the battlefield. at one point even suggesting some terrorists have legitimate grievances. >> the 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 to kill innocent men women and children. they are jihadists, and a minority in the muslim faith. you can't defend everywhere, every moment against every conceivable technique. you have to go after them and kill them or capture them and there isn't any other choice. >> reporter: the conference comes as the president is under

growing pressure about his language when talking about terrorism. it point briefly mentioned the 21 christians beheaded in libya. the white house statement over the weekend only referred to them as citizens. martha: he did refer to them as egyptian christians in the op-ed in the beginning. >> reporter: the conference where secretary of state john kerry is continuing hilings remarks. today in an op-ed piece from the peak he mentioned islamophobia and anti-semitism made no mention of christians and said there is much to be learned in the fight against ebola to the

fight in extremism in understanding it. martha: leland, thank you. bill: we want to bring in byron york. what about the part about the war with islam. who is even suggesting that? >> as you know, the president is fond of constructing straw men then knocking them down in his argument. i think it's clear there is no major anything the united states who is suggesting that the united states is at war with islam. the bigger picture, this is the softest possible approach that you can imagine for a quote war against terrorism. the white house invited educators, social scientists, social workers psychiatrists to come to this conference. and the president suggested the

softest possible means to counter extremism a social media campaign. more education economic development funds entrepreneurship encouragement education of women and girls things that are perfectly legitimate. but you have to remember isis is expanding right now in iraq, syria, and libya is a complete mess. is this a way to put out that fire. bill: which comes to the question of what we are doing or not doing. charles krauthammer on that. >> before you talk about boots on the ground why are the kurds not getting the weaponry they need. they are not getting it out of baghdad or from us. why would the jordanians running low on weapons in their fight against isis. now what we hear is that the free syrian army, the

non-radical rebels in sir yeah we are beginning the training. the civil war has been on for four years and we are beginning the training. forget about american active involvement now. why has none of this been happening by people to want to fight? >> he raises a good question. the president stressed more after community torging approach against this when in fact there are grave needs for military aid in the area. remember king and dugga was in washington not that long ago and told u.s. lawmakers, just give us ammunition. and he has shown a willingness to fight against isis after the burning alive of that jordanian pilot. there are serious military issues that a lot of critics think are not being addressed. not enough sorties. and the president is talking

about touchy-feeley kind of stuff. bill: he speaks in 90 minutes. does this summit advance anything? >> it doesn't advance the actual fight against isis. isis does have a presence on twitter and social media and that's something the united states as part of its psychological warfare should be count kerring. it's not to say this is meaning whres but it's not the most important part of an you are gentle fight against isis. nice to see you. 7 minutes past. >> reporter: with libya on a tipping point of its own. the country is asking the u.n. to lift an arms embargo so they can counter the growing threat. so there is growing alarm sphreegd new places in the middle east and across the region after isis posted this video of the mass beheading of

21 coptic christians on the beach in libya. egypt is asking libya to support the -- the u.n. to support the libyan army. martha: this could be the top story of the day if it weren't for everything in the middle east. the intense conflict in eastern ukraine. four days ago a scree fire -- a ceasefire was supposed to go into effect. russian rebels have violated the ceasefire. government forces continue to back out because they have no choice. gregg palkot is reporting live from kiev. what are you learn being the

loss of that important town? >> reporter: the more we learn the more we realize how bad a defeat this was for ukraine. there is still some fighting we are hearing involving a couple hundred ukrainian troops. but for most part we are learning it is completely controlled by russian-backed rebels and it's conning tacts inside that town. they are nasty fighters, they come from russia, and they are reportedly responsible for a whole lot of nasty stuff in the last couple months including it is says the downing of the aircraft. they are holding 90 ukrainian soldiers prisoner and there are 82 soldiers missing as a result of that defeat and retreat.

the rebels displayed some of those pows to the media today. 14 ukrainian soldiers they say died in that retreat, we are hearing significantly higher numbers. martha: pass the world watches isis, putin appears to be getting his way. bill: key jobless numbers for the week are out. lower than analysts expected, a sign that the jobs market recover kri is holding for now. the x economy is experiencing a short workweek due to the holiday on monday. the stock market opens in 20 minutes. martha: president obama running a scandal-free operation. that according to david axlerod. >> i can't say that's the case.

it's light years different than it was before. absolutely. martha: liz cheney will joins that straight ahead. bill: nearly 200 people possibly exposed to a drug-resistant super bug. martha: family, friends strangers gathering to remember the life of american aid worker kayla mueller murdered and taken down by is very terrorists. >> she was not okay with an uneven gained can existence in our world. she acted she served, she loved. she gave it all.

[alarms blaring] ohhhhh... whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat.

...rick. it's what you do. ahhhhhhhh! what'd you say? uh-oh! kelly! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. rick. don't walk away from me. ahhhhhhhh! martha: crowd gathering in 26-year-old kayla mueller's hometown of prescott, arizona. her loved ones remembering her as a spiritual and lovely young woman. >> you were my first friend, my best friend, my only sister. my heartaches for you and what you went through. i have a hole in my soul that will never be replaced.

i miss you. >> martha: isis claims she was killed in a jordanian airstrike but the pentagon says isis is responsible for her bill: david axlerod suggesting what he is most proud of when sring 6 years of the obama administration to date. >> is it light years different than it was before? absolutely. i'm proud of the fact you have an administration in place for six years in which there hasn't been a major scandal. that says a lot about this administration. bill: liz cheney, former deputy of state. >> if the question is what he's

most proud of there isn't a lot to choose from. to say there have been no scandals, i was watching your last scandal with secretary rumsfeld talking about the fact they are in denial on the national security front. they have this attitude if they pretend it doesn't exist it doesn't exist. we won't see it. at some level it's not scandal in terms of bad press. this is very serious violation of a sacred trust with the american people across the board. whether it's benghazi or using the irs to target polite calculate enemies. >> republican would tick those off and mention a few more on screen the obamacare rollouts. if you like your doctor keep your doctor. like your plan, keep your plan. the va backlog which is -- which

was a horrendous experience for our veterans. axlerod said our record may not be pristine but it's light years ahead of previous administrations. >> i'm not sure which administrations he's talking about. if you look at how this administration operated. the level of mistruths to the american people i would say is unparalleled in recent history. they haven't been called to account by large sections of the media, they know they can get away with it. something like the va scandal and bengazi there is a common thread that runs through the national security issues and the domestic scandals. they say what's necessary to protect obama. and they put our national security at risk. something like benghazi not admitting evening to this day on the part of some of them that this is a terrorist attack by islamic terrorists on our

embassy and facilities and claiming for many many weeks and months afterwards it was caused by a video. that somehow he was saying the tide of war was receding and if he admitted we had been attacked by terrorists that puts a lie to that notion. and it was during a presidential campaign. bill: the gallup numbers in the past week hit 50% approval. i know you believe everything you just said. but on the screen it's now 48-48 approval to disapproval. all things considered i would think you would be happy with a number like that if you are a commander-in-chief. the question is why is it there? >> i think he would like to see those numbers higher but it does go back to a real sort of absence of responsibility on the part of much of the media. the free press plays an

incredibly reution role in our society. this president is not covered and held to the same standards his presented sellsors have been. they know that and they get away with things. when you have a situation where the commander-in-chief is putting our national security at risk because he's unwilling to say we are at war with islam k terrorists and we have an embassy that's attacked and ambassador killed and they still continue the lies. they will talk about a dereliction of duty, they can present tend as much as they want. i don't think we have seen an administration so divorced from reality as this one is. bill: liz, thank you good to have you back on. martha: one of our nation's top

hospitals is warning hundreds of patients may have been exposed to a super bug that is linked to the deaths of two patients. bill: how long will the record-low temperatures last. >> it can be a shock the system if you are not dressed properly. >> some people might say you need to meditate more when it's like this. it's miserable.

bill: president obama naming joseph clancy as deputy

director. there was one security issue where a man made it inside the white house with a knife. cargo companies bypassing union leaders when bhaik they say is their last, best and final offer. the labor dispute shut down ports. the fda is warning people with peanut allergies to stay away from cumin. martha: doctors say a drug resistant super drug may be linked to the deaths of two patients and the number of patients who may have been exposed is growing. it looks like this may and reality. what do we think?

>> reporter: right now we think nearly 180 people could be infected. that's a major concern. the super bug commonly referred to as cre can kill 40% to 50 per of patients once it spreads to their bloodstream. ucla discovered the bug. that's when they realized an endoscope may have been responsible. medical experts say this is a major wakeup call. dr. marc siegel says cre is hard to catch. >> i don't expect this to cause an outbreak in the community. this bacteria is not airborne.

we have been talking about measles. this is nothing on that order. >> reporter: ucla says the patients who may have been infected have been sent home testing kits. martha: what can be done to stop it? >> reporter: medical experts say medical equipment need to be better sterilized, better cleaned. ucla says it did sterilize its enditsendoscopes. and the medical industry needs to create new antibiotics to better fight super bugs like this. bill: from the deep south to the upper midwest and northeast much of the country locked in a deep arctic freeze. how cold? zero in atlanta with the with. all right.

so how about this, folks. jeb bush says the u.s. is no longer the super power that it once was thanks in part to the obama administration's policies. is he right. our fair and balanced political panel take that on. >> the president should call on leaders of both parties to fix the budget and address the short falls in our defense spending. he should show leadership and a commitment to solving this problem. natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more.

bill: half of you are wake up the bitter cold temperatures. 16 below in cincinnati. if you live in chicago withs will make it feel like 30 below. maria molina is wearing color

that matches the color behind her. >> reporter: these aren't withs. this is the actual thermometer. zero degrees in cincinnati. when you factor in the wind it feels much colder than what ther nom --than what the thermometer reads. it feels like single digits in the city of raleigh, north carolina. and we are tracking a new storm system. we have one producing heavy snow across parts of maine. then another one that will develop across the center of the nation. coming up tomorrow we could start to see freezing rain pack portions of arkansas. but then the storm shift northward saturday. all of that should transition to rainfall. but snowfall will be setting up

across portions of the midwest. on a side note the ski resorts in the rockies will be looking at snowfall this weekend. otherwise forecast low temperature the next self days will stay cold out there across the midwest, great lakes and down into the southeast. but take a look at what starts to happen as we head into sunday morning. much milder air will be impacting eastern portions of the u.s. we'll climb into the 30s in new york city and raleigh. behind that system that will bring the mild air we have a blast of cold air moving in. bill: that's cold and flu season. thank you maria. glad it's short-lived. martha: former florida governor jeb bush taking on a big speech on foreign policy. he says america isn't the super

power it once was. >> they announce recess and disengage. hashtag campaigns replace actual diplomacy and engagement. we lost the trust and confidence of our friend. we no longer inspire fear in our enemies. martha: doug schoen is former advisor to bill clinton and monica crowley is the editor of the washington times. there is such a long list, doug. he mentioned the hashtag campaign. we remember the first lady holding up the "bring back our girls" sign with the hashtag on it. those girls never found. you talk about iran and a relationship with egypt a country we were selling f-16s to now they had to turn to france to get military help. >> i think there is an absolute lack of leadership.

i say this as a democrat. i don't mean this as a partisan statement. our position around the world is weakening. you alluded to the egyptian president, president al-sisi. he has i am level said the united states need to be more aggressive in fighting and putting together a coalition to take on isis. some sources say they are heading to a nuclear deal with iran which could facilitate their developing nuclear weapons. we have done nothing about north korea. i say this as a statement of non-partisanship. as a democrat we need to assert ourselves not because of partisan politic but because of the threats we face. martha: let's listen to one more bit from jeb bush's speech. >> someone who came to office promising greater engagement with the world has left america

less influential in the world. martha: monica? >> he's absolutely right about that. you are going to hear more of this kind of thing coming from not just jeb bush from all of the republican candidate running for president. this is a theme all of them are going to embrace. it's going to be resonating with the american people. the american people have eyes. they can see american power is not what it once was. american super power has been downgraded across the world. they know the lessons of history is when the united states is either weak in real term or perceived as weak, the wheels come off the world because the bad guys advance, the good guys retreat and chaos and violence ensue. they can see the president has not been exercising leadership in any real way. real american power has been so watered down that it will take years. ronald reagan when he came in

1980 came into try to bring america back. martha: you have to wonder what isis thick when they see the white house discussion about community building. you have to wonder what goes through their mind when they watch this and whether they think the same thing jeb bush is saying. not too' to fear from the united states right now guys. >> i think they do see that. i took as particularly ominous their last note they were going to go from libya to italy and presumably as they have begun to throughout europe and potentially to the united states. so this is a real threat to our national interest and our national homeland as well. martha: it's hard to imagine in the next two years the administration is going to dramatically change its take on this but two years is a really long time. let's take a look at the republican candidate and how they stack up in the polls.

clearly this is going to be a focus of the coming election. you have got jeb bush at 49. you can see the numbers as they go down to scott wearing at 30. let's look at page 2. there is a look at the back half of this. most of them are pretty tight in terms of the numbers. but i wonder if this isis situation, this islam you can extremist situation continues does that help jeb bush if we are in uncertain times. how about the foreign policy team he assembled which is reminiscent of his brother and father. >> that could cut either way because the george bush administration is unpopular so this could work against governor bush in this. i think the conservative base republican voters independent and moderate voters alike want a

fighter. they want somebody who is not just going to step up and fight against isis. and vladimir putin and newly aggressive china. they also want somebody who is willing to file for america. the successful candidate will have to show a passion for that fight. a real fire in the belly. while governor bush said all of the right things and i think these are going to be recurring themes for him. i think he lacks a real passion for what he was trying to argue. this country is going to hell in a hand basket and so is the world. voters will want to see somebody step up like reagan did in the 1980s saying we are going to fight for this and i can feel tonight my gut. that's what they want to see. successful candidate will be the one who projects that. martha: who is that, i guess is the question. does the experience factor -- president was a relatively unknown and he was hope and

change and a new fresh perspective people voted for back in 2008. is the uncertainty that's presented in the world right now potentially going to lead people to want someone who has been around and surrounded by people of experience? >> yeah, i think potentially so. but at the same time and monica alluded to this, there is bush a neeg this country. george w bush's foreign policy was not arousing success. the war in iraq did not end well as we are sadly seeing the results of. and candidly i don't think we are sitting at a time where governor bush who is doing okay in the polls but certainly doesn't have the commanding lead his brother had at this point in 1999. he's barely ahead. so i think there is still a search on the republican side for leadership, and the opposite of what you said is also potentially the case. people could see appreciate

faces and new leadership because of a scution discussion "how both parties and the system is working in washington. martha: all those folks are close in those poll numbers. thank you very much. bill: a 200-year-old time capsule was opened in the state of maryland. contractors work on a sewage project discovered it while digging near by. it pea pears to hold jars wrapped in newspaper dated 1815. martha: you there know what you are going to find. coming up. attorneys for the man accused of murdering american sniper chris kyle are mounting their insanity

defense as family and friends testify they believe he was out of his mind at the time. live at the courthouse. bill: strong reactions on president obama's claims poor job markets are driving young people to join isis. is socioeconomic development linked to these radicals? >> when you take yourself out of the logical world like the president has done it's off in la laland.

i'm louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. quitting smoking is a challenge and it's a lot easier to go into a fight when you've got somebody that's got your back. having chantix as a partner made it more successful. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history

of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. chantix absolutely helped me quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

bill: president obama said a lack of jobs contributes to the expansion of isis. those comments drawing criticism. >> the things he mentions, lack of human rights, poverty. these aren't the causes of the violence. those are symptoms of the root cause of what these groups are *

isis and al qaeda, they are islamic at their core. they are an evil, twisted islam by the's still islam. bill: walid phares, welcome back. do you buy the excuse of poverty? >> that's a 20-year-old explanation produced on campuses here in the united states and in western europe. it's wrong. if you take a million persons frustrated in the middle east. why is it 1,000 among them become jihadists? why not the other 900,000? there is no direct link between frustration and becoming a

terrorist. theling is if they are indoctrinated who become terrorists. bill: why then and what explains why the administration would cling to this explanation? who would be behind that. what would be behind that, do you believe? >> all administrations since the end of the cold war have been influenced by a defective advice coming from academia and campuses. evening has to do with the economy, correct but they missed the fact there is an ideological link. more important to me is the influence and pressure coming from what i call the islamist lobby, the pro iranian lobby who have no interest in having the united states fighting the war of ideas. what happened to them will happen in egypt. bill: you are making the case

those groups have the ear of the white house and that's why they explain what they do and have the policy they have? >> it's open information. there is nothing secret about that. look at what these groups are saying when they visit the white house or state department or how they influence academia. if anyone criticizes their argument they accuse them of islamophobia. bill: you hear the president repeatedly say we are not at war with islam. have you heard americans say we are at war with islam? in other words? who is talking like that to -- which would lead the president to say that repeatedly? >> if you take the agenda and platform of the democratic and republican party nobody, not even in the media is saying that we are pat war with islam. what is happening is that the united states is in confrontation with jihadists.

there are muslims at war with jihadists. i wonder why the administration is not using -- the vatican of the arab world. use them saying these are muslims, these are cal face the. france britain russia, china. only the obama administration isn't using the right narrative. bill: the president set that's a recruiting tool for the terrorists whether it's in australia or england or france or minneapolis minnesota. so do not say that because that will drive more numbers to their side. is that true or not? >> no, the individuals who are indoctrinated and become terrorists do not listen to the statement made by the white house and the security council. they listen to those

indoctrinating them. as a civil society saying you are not responsible, these are the jihadists and you are the martyrs. the administration is afraid of doing this. they are getting all their advice from one academic elite. i would recommend for the white house to have a conference with they have more than one opinion. bill: thank you sir. martha? martha: he's accused of the worse terror attack owfnl s. soil since nine from but a court fight over whether to move the court fight of dzhokhar tsarnaev. bill: a rapper make an appearance in handcuffs. ♪ hi, tom.

bill: rapper vanilla ice arrested in florida. he stole furniture and several other items from an abandoned home. he's out on 6,000 bond. vanilla ice says it was a misunderstanding. martha: jury selection is continuing in the trial of the boston marathon bombing suspect. the lawyers for dzhokhar tsarnaev are once again requesting -- they say we have to move this trial out of the city because they don't believe

they will find an impartial jury there. molly line is outside the courthouse in boston with more. what are they asking the appeals court to do at this time. prorlt * the lawyers for dzhokhar tsarnaev, the accused boston marathon bomber are make an aggressive move trying to get this trial move outside the city of boston. they are asking this court order the district court to have a change of venue to move this trial. his legal team argues a fair jury can't be impaneled here. they attached pictures that show massive signs touting that boston strong mantra that became a community rallying cry after the bombing. one is on a spinning drum of the cement truck. and also emblazened on that

truck, a thank you to the first responders. the defense argues the media market has been saturated with news about the bombings, the victims, the survivors. the government is ignoring the publicity and the emotional impact. and they say 68%. potential jurors responded say they believe dzhokhar tsarnaev is guilty. martha: thank you so much. bill: minutes away from the president speak saying violent extremism. we'll have that for you live here on america's newsroom.

>> all right. get ready, everybody. president obama is about to defend his approach to the terror threat that faces america once again today. it's going to happen about 30 minutes from now. we're waiting for closing

remarks for the three-day white house summit that has convened with 60 leaders and people from around the world to come up with some way to battle isis. the president stands by his claims that groups like the islamic state do not represent islam while focussing on the political and economic complaints of the communities where terrorism is bred and you heard moments ago some very he will gent thoughts on that. welcome. we're glad you're with us. >> good morning. digging in his heels, refusing to call isis terrorist islamic extremists. >> they no more represent islam than any madman who kills people in the name of god represents christianity. no religion is responsible for terrorism. people are responsible for violence and terrorism. >> "new york post" summing it up calling the president blind to

islamic extremism while isis slaughters christian and paints a bull's eye on rome. john kerry said you cannot defeat what you don't understand. is that what we expect to hear today? >> absolutely right and that's been part of the theme. it's more about building bridges and less about bullets because as you heard the secretary say and have read in his comments today, he is talking about the necessity to understand what has happened that created the environment. let me just share a little bit from his op ad today and i think this will be very instructive for the folks at home. he said among other things we have to transform the environments that give birth to these movements. we have to devote ourselves not just to combating violence extremism but to preventing it and this means building alternatives that are credible and visible to the populations where terrorists seek to thrive. the long and short of it is here, bush administration listen. this whole summit is to

understand why they're there and mitigate the environment, if you will, before they become terrorists. unfortunately for a lot of people especially as we've seen on tv it doesn't help when they're being beheaded by killers around the world. >> some are saying the white house is doubling down on the position. why is that? >> let me unpack it very briefly. from their perspective, it's about making sure the islamic world more broadly and the muslim community here in america and in the west understands it's not about the u.s. against islam but the problem is again, it underscores this disconnect. it's not about jobs. listen to donald rumsfeld on that topic. >> it's a little insulting to people who are jobless or poor to suggest that is the cause of terrorism. the overwhelming majority of people who are poor or jobless are not terrorists. they don't strap bombs on their children or their women and send them in a shopping center to

kill innocent men, women and children. >> so what he's really articulating is what so many have argued for so long. you can't simply say if they're employed or if the environments at home are great that they won't do what they do. this is much bigger than that to them. they say that they believe in a particular sect of islam and that's guiding them. we'll not hear a great deal of that probably from the administration. that will be the backdrop from which they operate today's summit. >> thank you. >> we're waiting. the president will speak. we'll see if he doubled down on the comments or gives us anything new today. take a look at his op ad in yesterday's l.a. times which maps out his thinking. he wrote in part quote efforts to counter violent extremism will only succeed if citizens can address legitimate grievances through the democratic process. ed henry had some questions about what exactly that meant.

>> what grievances do you think they have? >> i think when we talk about isil leaders, there's nothing they believe use to justify the brutality we've seen them carry out. >> legitimate grievances of isis orrer extremists would it be? >> i think that would be a reference to the efforts of the administration and obviously local law enforcement and other community leaders here in this country to prevent isil from succeeding in recruiting and inspiring people to join their fight. >> bret baier joins us now, anchor of "special report." josh having a very hard time articulating where the white house stands on this and why there would be legitimate grievances that could possibly lead us to this kind of behavior even if it is simmering in this country. >> good morning. i'll tell you, the rhetorical

gymnastics coming out of the white house on this on a number of different ways that they're defending the use of violent extremism and not radical islam has been interesting to watch. critics have jumped on it. there you saw josh trying to say in an op ad under the president's name that he was referring to problems the people would have in communities here in the u.s. that they would have grievances and thereby solve those before they become terrorists. it is very kind of nuanced words salad, some have called it and it's interesting to watch them try to get to this point. the other point i would make is that it's not just the semantics. it's also the tone and tenor which n which the president is talking about this. it's very scholarly, very professorial and there are others on capitol hill and in the country who in the wake of

isis actions would like some more passion. >> we've heard it said many times, is the president living in a different world from what's actually going on, on the ground? and you have to wonder, bret. you raised this last night as well. if you're the leader of the kurds or prince abdullah all of whom are seen in regular time as allies of this country, you've got to be scratching your head saying, we need bullets, we need ammunition. we need military help. we've been begging the united states of america to send us more, to fend these guys off. if you're really wanting to support islam in the world, wouldn't you be standing shoulder to shoulder with these three intritentities? >> those are actions that have not happened directly. the kurds on the front lines fighting isis in northern iraq, they're still fighting with ancient weapons, stuff that's

really old. and all of the high tech stuff that the u.s. left behind in iraq is with the iraqi forces in baghdad and the process to get them in the front lines has really been backed up. and then when you talk about jordan and all that they need there has been a bureaucratic holdup in red tape in that as well. so those are actions, not just words and that's the importance. >> but the president doesn't address these things. if we are, you know, in the middle of this confrontation, which clearly we are in the global sense, he doesn't talk about -- they did talk about the fact they're now going to arm the moderate rebels in syria. that was asked for two years ago. what form is that going to take? what shape is that going to take? how are we going to step it up quickly enough to make a difference in syria? >> that's a great question. the civil war has been going on for four years and why has it taken this long? now you have the former ambassador there saying you know what? now is not the time to arm them because we just don't know all

of the elements of them. and i think there's some really problems with policy not just semantics that critics are hitting on. i read something today i think in "new york times," when someone said if you're talking about your talking points it is a bad sign to explain why you're saying something the way you're saying it. and that's where this white house seems to be. >> there are many in the islamic world who are asking for our help and they're on the right side of this equation. so if the president feels that strongly about islamic phobia that might be -- you know that's clear sgl -- clearly something that americans want to hear more about. see you tonight >> see you, martha. >> former girlfriend of the suspect in the american sniper murder trial taking the stand in his defense. jennifer telling the jury about her relationship with eddie ray routh who is accused of killing former american sniper chris kyle and another man, his friend

and colleague. rous routh's sister said he had to take two souls before they could take his. when i asked him what he meant by that, he said they were out to get him. he was talking nonsense, end quote. casey is live outside the courthouse. what else did the sister have to say? >> bill, they testified her brother drove chris kyle's truck to her house that night and she said that when she saw it she had a very sick feeling because she knew that her brother could not afford a vehicle like that. laura also saying on the stand that eddie routh told her he traded his soul for that truck and she told him, i love you but i hate your demons. then we did hear from jennifer who was dating routh at the time of the shootings. she said that eddie told her he

was seeing things and hearing things, weeks before the murders and he was in catatonic states. the pair had just gotten engaged the night before chris kyle and chad littlefield were shot to death. >> who do we expect to hear from today, casey? >> well, we're told to prepare for an awful lot of expert witnesses today. that would likely be doctors, psychologists, mental health experts, those who treated eddie ray routh during his stays in and out of the v.a. hospital and at a private psychiatric hospital. this would all play to the defense's strategy that the 27-year-old former marine was insane at the time. the court has told us so far everything is running on schedule and we could get to closing arguments as early as monday here. >> thank you. casey back on the story for us today. southwestdallas. >> how about this? off the coast of great britain,

they scrambled fighter jets yesterday to escort two russian planes who are flying just off the coast. the russian bombers were seen off the coast of cornwall. they came very close and that's the second time that this has happened in as many months. two weeks ago, russian bombers went close enough to air space to disrupt civilian air travel. stay tuned. >> remember these comments about christians by president obama? >> unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusade, the inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. >> now there are reports today that vice president joe biden at the white house terrorism summit talking about violence in the name of the bible. we'll tell you what that's all about and new york congressman peter king reacts in a moment on that live.

>> and a roof collapses, burying two people. how the rescuers got to them. >> i don't think they had any warning. this came right down on top of them literally. >> they needed help. help me. help me. and we tried to get to them. now? can i at least put my shoes on? if your bladder is calling the shots ... you may have a medical condition called overactive bladder ... ...or oab you've got to be kidding me. i've had enough! it's time to talk to the doctor. ask your doctor how myrbetriq may

>> we are waiting to hear from president obama. he'll speak in a matter of minutes on the final day of the countering violent extremism summit. we'll carry the remarks live and

will the position of the administration change in any way in the battle against isis? that's coming up. >> all right. so as we await the president's speech to wrap up this summit, vice president joe biden getting some attention as well. he made a reference to christian terror groups carrying out killings in, quote, the name of the bible. one group at the summit the muslim public affairs council tweeted this after he said that. biden just talked about the right wing militias and supremacist groups that are violent in the same of the islam. >> peter king is chairman of the sub committee on counterterrorism and intelligence and he's an excellent person to join us in this conversation. this is the second time. we heard the president at the prayer breakfast say unless we

get on our high horse, terrible things have been done in the name of christ. so does it appear that this one organization and maybe others are trying to encourage the white house to remember christian terrorists as well at this time to even things out? >> martha, this is such a failure of leadership, such a failure of moral direction from the white house, from the president. the white house said that from him. there's no equivalence today between what isis is doing in murdering and butchering and murdering people to death and find some isolated christian militia group. what they're doing here is they're pandering these muslim groups in the country like the muslim public affairs council who want to create a false narrative of victimhood. they have legitimate grievances. this is all non sense. this is always bad people in the world. the fact is right now, the ones with the most dangerous, the

ones most evil is isis. the muslim extremists they come from islam. >> it's interesting because about a month ago, i spoke to marie harp and i asked her, because she said there were many grups they were going to discuss, many different terrorist groups they were going to discuss at this summit going on right now and i said well what other groups are you particularly concerned about? she couldn't name any but she seems to have come up with one now. here she is with that. >> this is not just the threat in one place. if you look at the lord's resistance army and joseph coney, i don't remember people talking about that as much any more but that's a christian militant group so there are a lot of different extremist threats we face and there are different tools to go after each one of them. >> you know, i remember people talking about joseph coney. he's a bad guy. he did some hshl horrible things but i mean is this the conversation that we're having right now given what we have watched? the slaughtering on the beach? the burning alive of the jordanian pilot? this is top of mind?

>> this is again, administration refusing to acknowledge that evil is coming from within the muslim faith. not all muslims. that's where it's coming from. here in our own country, we've had more than 75 islamist plots the last five or six years. this is where the main danger comes from. this is the threat to our civilization. yes, you go after the other ones but you don't talk about them in the same context, don't throw in the equivalency between these groups and the organized horse that represent so many people around the world. when you see nah poelthem, you're talking about millions of people who support isis. >> the president yesterday read a valentine from a little girl a muslim girl in america who said why do people think we're bad? something to that effect. he talks about wanting to get rid of the muslim phobia in the

world. groups are around the world who need our help right now in jordan. they need our help you know, in the kurdish region in egypt. why would the response of this little girl not be we're working so hard to help people like you all around the globe who are being killed by this, you know islamist version of terrorism. >> there's no islam-phobia around the country. the muslims who do need help are people like king abdullah putting his life on the line for the united states. >> he can't get guns or bullets from this administration. >> absolutely. president obama who is huring muslims by not standing with king abdullah, not standing with the general, not standing with the kurds, not giving them the weaponry and the support they deserve. if anyone right now who has been damaging to muslims in this country, it's president obama. >> egypt has turned to france to send in fighter jets. they can't get them from us to fight against the groups in

their own country. it's always good to talk to you. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> there's a manhunt right now and you won't believe how it came about. >> massive sums of money are being raised by the clinton global foundation. where a lot of that money is coming from and where questions are being raised about whether or not some of it will find its way into the political run. >> i think she's made a real mistake here. i think it's with other mistakes her campaign has made in recent months and it really calls into question whether the clinton political group is ready for prime time.

i want my yoga pants to smell like i sweat money. i want to smell the way champagne tastes. i love champagne. infuse your laundry with... ...up to 12 weeks of luxurious long-lasting scents... ...unstopables in wash scent booster.

>> new developments now to the clinton foundation dropping its

self imposed ban on collecting funds from foreign governments and entities and total contributions to the foundation almost to $2 billion. on roberts is live in atlanta today. where does the $2 billion figure come from? >> billion with a b. that's a lot of money. "the washington post" went through the tax returns and added them all up to come up with the figure. the amount of contributors finds that a large chunk came from either foreign governments or overseas billionaires. some of the biggest contributions in the 10 to $25 million come from the kingdom of saudi arabia and a foundation run by ukrainian businessman who was recently accused of dumping steel tubing in the united states. other big contributors include a saudi billionaire. foreign governments and foreign

billionaires are prohibited to contribute to the campaign. the connection between foreign money and a potential presidential candidate is uncomfortable even for many democrats. >> to sell their political scrint to foreign countries, to expose themselves to ridicule from republicans and democrats who are very concerned about the influence of big money in politics is a huge miscalculation. >> the contributions also reinforce hillary clinton's close ties to wall street. barkley's, citigroup bank of america, standard charter bank, goldman sachs and hsbc. many democrats are looking to massachusetts senator elizabeth warren as a presidential candidates not so beholden to wall street and big money influence. >> what is the clinton foundation saying about all of this, john? >> i talked to a spokesman not too long ago and they deny any

potential conflict of interest here with the possible hillary clinton presidential run telling fox news that the clinton foundation is a philanthropy, period. they receive the sport of individuals, organizations and governments all over the world because their programs are improving the lives of millions of people. the $2 billion figure is a bit misleading. a lot of that money is in pledges that haven't fully come in yet and a large chunk of the money went directly to support health programs and to build the presidential library. and bill for full disclosure news corporation which used to be the parent company of fox news has also contributed to the clinton foundation. >> john roberts out of atlanta today. 27 past. >> so the president is about to take the podium a couple of minutes from now. this is the last day of the summit on violent extremism. it's stirred up controversy so we're going to take you there live as soon as he takes the podium. >> we mentioned this. a sister of the american sniper murder suspect eddie routh is on

the stand describing the day her brother confessed to killing chris kyle and chad littlefield. >> i don't know. i'm sorry. i'm really scared. he said he killed two guys. they went to a shooting range. it's like he's all crazy.

>> any moment now as promised waiting to hear from president obama that john kerry just entered the room during the commercial. we expect the secretary of state just to speak for a couple of minutes and then before he brings in the president. quickly we want to bring in captain chuck nash, fox news military analyst. quickly in the time we haves with weigh wait for word from the president, how does he wrap up his remarks after 2 1/2 day snz what comes from this ultimately? >> well, i think we're going to wind up with what george will

called semanticsist without using the word islamic terrorism. that's really the enemy we're fighting and the longer we deny that, the longer we don't study the writings to figure out what the enemy is going to do. those are the sources from which they take their direction. i wish we would start paying attention to it because the writings are all there. we just have to pay attention to it. >> why are we not? >> because it is uncomfortable for people to acknowledge that this is a religious war. now, we didn't declare it. it's been declared against it. the people doing this now hold territory, they rule over people, they have a density and a gravity that is drawing in people from all over the world. if this is not eradicated, that will only grow and the mass will increase and the consequences for that will require more and more effort, not less and less. you can't have jobs things to

get people out of this. this is an ideology that is bent on destruction. >> captain thank you. stand by with us as we listen to the president's remarks and we'll bring you back in and analyze a little of the message today. here we go. back to back days. state department washington, d.c. >> good morning, everyone. i want to thank john kerry not only for the introduction but for the outstanding leadership of american diplomacy. john is tireless. if he's not visited your country yet, he will soon. and i want to thank you and everybody here at the state department for organizing and hosting this ministerial here today. mr. secretary general, distinguished guests we are joined by representatives from governments because we all have a responsibility to ensure the security prosperity and the

human rights of our citizens. we're joined by leaders of civil society including many faith leaders because civil society reflecting the views and the voices of citizens is by the success of any country. i thank all of you and i welcome all of you. we come together from more than 60 countries, from every continent. we speak different languages, warn of different races and ethnic groups belong to different religions. we are here today because we are united against the scourge of violent terrorism. as we speak isil is terrorizing the people of iraq and syria and

speaking in cruelty. wanton murder of children the enslavement and rape of women, threatening religious minorities with genocide beheading hostages. isil terrorists murdered egyptians in the sinai peninsula and they slaughter egyptian christians in libya has shocked the world. beyond the region we've seen deadly attacks in ottawa sydney paris and now copenhagen. elsewhere israelis have endured the tragedy of terrorism for decades, pakistan taliban has waged violence against the pakistani people. and now tragically includes the massacre of more than 100

schoolchildren and their teachers. from somalia, terrorists have launched attacks across east africa. in nigeria and neighboring countries, terrorists kill and kidnaps men, women and children. the nations in september, i called on the international community to come together and eradicate violent extremists and i challenge countries to come to the general assembly this fall with concrete steps we can take together. and i'm grateful for all of you answering this call. yesterday at the white house, we welcomed community groups from the united states and some from your countries to focus on how we can empower communities to protect their families and friends and neighbors from violent ideologies and recruitment and over the coming months, many countries will host

summits to build on the work here and prepare for the general assembly. today i want to suggest some areas where i believe we can focus on as governments. first, we must remain unwaivering in the fight against terrorist organizations. in afghanistan, our coalition is focused on training and assisting afghan forces and we'll continue to conduct missions against the remnants of al qaeda in the tribal regions. when necessary, the united states will continue to take action against al qaeda affiliates in places like yemen and somalia. we will continue to work with partners to help them build up their security forces so that they can prevent ungoverned spaces where terrorists find safe haven and so they can push back against groups. in iraq and syria, our coalition

of some 60 nations, including arab nations, will not ee lent in our mission to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. and as a result of a separate ministerial here today many of our governments will be deepening our cooperation against foreign terrorist fighters by sharing more information and making it harder for fighters to travel to and from syria and iraq. related to this as i said at the united nations last fall, countries need to break the cycle of terrorism. in syria, asad's war against his own people and deliberate stoking of sectarian tensions helped to fuel the rise of isil. and in iraq failure of the previous government to govern in an inclusive manner helped to

pave the way for isil's gains there. the syrian civil war will only end when there is an inclusive political transition and a government that serves syrians of all religions the terror campaigns between sunnis and shia will only end when major powers address their differences three dialogue and not through proxy wars. so countering violent extremism begins with political, civic and religion leaders rejecting sectarian strike. second, we have to confront the ideologies espoused by terrorists like al qaeda and isil especially their attempt to use islam to justify their violence. i discussed this at length yesterday. these terrorists are desperate for legitimacy.

all of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like isil somehow represent islam because that is a falsehood that embraces the terrorist narrative. the same time, we must acknowledge that groups like al qaeda and isil are deliberately targeting their propaganda to muslim communities. particularly muslim youth. and muslim communities, including scholars and clerics therefore have a responsibility to push back not just on twisted interpretations of islam but also on the lie that we are somehow engaged in a clash of civilizations civilizations. america and the west are somehow at war with islam or seek to suppress muslims. or that we are the cause of every ill in the middle east.

that narrative sometimes extends far beyond terrorist organizations. that narrative becomes the foundation upon which terrorists build their ideology and by which they try to justify their violence and that hurts all of us including islam and especially muslims who are the ones most likely to be killed. obviously there's a complicated history between the middle east the west and none of us i think, should be immune from criticism in terms of specific policies but the notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie. and all of us regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it. same time former extremist have

the opportunity to speak out, speak the truth about terrorist groups and oftentimes they can be powerful messengers in debunking these terrorist ideologies. one said this wasn't what we came for to kill other muslims. those voices have to be amplified. and governments have a role to play. at minimum as a basic first step countries have a responsibility to cut off funding that fuels hatred and corrupts young minds and endangers us all. we need to do more to help lift up voices of tolerance and peace, especially online. that's why the united states is joining, for example, with

u.a.e. to create a new digital communications hub, to work with religious and civil society leaders to counter terrorist propaganda. our efforts will be led by our new coordinator of counter terrorism. the united states will do more to help counter hateful ideologies and today i urge your nations to join us in this urgent war. third, we must address the grievances that terrorists exploit, including economic grievances. as i said yesterday, poverty alone does not cause a person to become a terrorist any more than poverty alone causes someone to become a criminal.

billions of people who are poor and are law abiding and peaceful and tolerant and are trying to advance their lives and the opportunities for their families but when people especially young people, feel entirely trapped in impoverished communities, where there is no order and no path for advancement, where there are no educational opportunities, where there are no ways to support families and no escape from injustice and the humiliations of corruption, that feeds instability and disorder. and makes those communities right for extremist recruitment and we've seen that across the middle east and seen it across north africa. so if we're serious about countering violent extremism, we have to get serious about confronting the economic grievances. here at this summit the united

states will make new commitments to help young people including muslim communities to forge new collaborations and entrepreneurship and science and technology. all our nations can reaffirm our commitment to broad based development that creates growth and jobs. not just for the few at the top but for the many. we can step up our efforts against corruption so a person can go about their day and an entrepreneur can pay a business. as we go forward, let's commit to expanding education including for girls. expanding opportunity, including for women. nations will not truly succeed without the contributions of their women. this requires by the way, wealthier countries to do more.

but it also requires countries that are emerging and developing to create structures of governance and transparency so that any assistance provided actually works and reaches people. it's a two-way street. fourth, we have to address the political grievances that terrorists exploit. again, there's not a single perfect causal link but the link is undeniable when people are oppressed and human rights are denied particularly along sectarian lines or ethnic lines, when dissent is silenced it feeds violent extremism. it creates an environment that's

right for terrorists to exploit. when peaceful democratic change is impossible, it feeds into the terrorist propaganda that violence is the only answer available. so we must recognize that lasting stability and real security required democracy. that means free elections where can choose their own future and jushs that uphold the law and police and security forces that respect human rights and free speech and freedom for civil society groups and it means freedom of religion. when people are free to practice their faith as they choose it helps hold diverse societies together. finally, we have to ensure our diverse societies truly welcome and respect people of all faiths and backgrounds and leaders set the tone on this issue.

groups like al qaeda and isil peddle the lie that some in our country are hostile to muslims. meanwhile, we've also seen most recently in europe lies and inexcusable acts of anti-semitism or in some cases, anti-muslim sentiment or anti-immigrant sentiment. when people spew hatred towards others because of their faith or because they're immigrants it feeds into terrorist narratives. if entire communities feel they can never become a full part of society in which they reside it feeds a cycle of fear and resentment. a sense of injustice upon which extremists prey. we can't allow cycles of suspicions to tear at the fabric of our conscience. we all recognize the need for

more dialogues across countries and cultures. those efforts are indeed important but what's most needed today perhaps are more dialogues within countries. not just across faiths but within faiths. violent extremists and terrorists thrive when people of different religions pull away from each other and are able to isolate each other and label them as they opposed to us. something separate and apart. so we need to build and bolster bridges of communication and trust. terrorists traffic lies and stereotypes about others other religions, other ethnic groups so let's share the truth of our faiths with each other. terrorists prey upon among, impressionable minds.

let's bring the youth together to promote understanding and cooperation. that's what the united states will do with our virtual exchange program named after ambassador chris stevens to connect one million young people from america and the middle east and north africa. it's a dialogue. young people are taught to hate. it doesn't come naturally to them. we adults teach them. i would like to close by speaking very directly to a painful truth that's part of the challenge that brings us here today. some of our countries, including the united states muslim communities are still small and relative to the entire population and sarl, as a result, many people don't always know personally someone who is muslim. so the image they get of muslims

or islam is in the news and given the existing new cycle, that can give a very distorted impression. a lot of the bad like terrorists who claim to speak for islam, that's absorbed by the general population. not enough of the good. the more than one billion people around the world who do represent islam, doctors and lawyers, teachers and neighbors and friends so we have to remember these muslim men and women, young palestinian working to build understanding and trust, israelis also trying to give voice to her people's aspirations. muslim clerics working for

peace, christian pastors and priests in nigeria and central african republic to put an end to the cycle of hate, civil society leaders in indonesia, one of the world's largest democracies, parliamentarians in tunisia building one of the world's biggest democracies, business leaders in india with one of the world's largest muslim populations, entrepreneurs with new innovations like malaysia health workers trying to save lives from polio and ebola in west africa and volunteers who go to disaster zones after a tsunami or earthquake to ease suffering and help families rebuild, muslims who have risked their lives as human shields to protect coptic churches in egypt and protect christians attending mass in pakistan.

the world hears a lot about the terrorists who attack hebdo in paris but the world also has to remember the paris police officer, a muslim who died trying to stop them. the world knows about the attack on the jews of the kosher supermarket in paris. we need to recall the worker at that market, a muslim who hid jewish customers and saved their lives. and when he was asked why he did it, he said we are brothers. it's not a question of jews or christians or muslims. we're all in the same boat. we have to help each other to get out of this crisis. sglish distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, i thank you for being here today. we come from different countries and different cultures and different faiths but it is useful for us to take our wisdom

from that humble worker who engaged in heroic acts under the most severe of circumstances. we are all in the same boat. we have to help each other. this work you will have a strong partner in me and the united states of america. thank you very much. [applause] >> two and a half days of talk in the united states. break the cycle of sectarian violence mentioned in syria, the political grefances need to be broken down, lift up the voices of tolerance and peace and do it online. those suggestions from the commander in chief. captain chuck nash is back with me. could you have written that monday? >> i think it probably was written on monday. the problem with this bill is that he's talking about a world that does not exist. it's a fantasy world in his mind or his speech writers' mind but

the fact is that we are looking once again, this is the third time in history, osama bin laden called his effort the third jihad. it is the third jihad. you've got militant islam on the march. it now controls territory in syria and iraq and all of the countries that the president used when he described where these extremists are, are controlled or are being overrun by organizations that define themselves as islamic. so i -- this digital network that he's setting up to pull everybody together their first hashtag ought to be duh. that's what this is really about. this is the willful disregard and it's going to come at a horrific price. >> had you brought the president of egypt or king abdullah of jordan to the white house?

>> absolutely. >> would that have made a much stronger statement than bringing this list of people that were not -- we don't even know. >> here's the thing. if we're drawn into this in a major land battle which will happen if this thing is allowed to fester and grow you're going to have the death star over there and it's going to cause a major consecration. the only way to stop that is back the governments who are under threat by the people who see themselves as the true believers and true followers of mohammed. they see themselves doing the teachings of mohammed. not what the bad muslims are doing. they've become more sectaralized. those are the ones that these people think are a postate and are killing them and the jews. >> here is martha with more. >> bret baier joins us now.

when you think the march through the streets of france after the charlie hebdo murders and the president was not there this is put forward as the answer to that. we're not there but we're having a three-day summit to take on these issues. how successful was it? >> clearly it enabled the president to have a bit of a mulligan and he did talk about the christians being attacked and beheaded in libya. he did talk about the jews in that kosher deli being targeted so that was a bit of a do-over but on policy as bill mentioned, you really could have written this probably on monday. you do have some prescriptions for going forward but when he explained, martha, what we talked about earlier, dealing with those grievances of economic and political grievances in communities that fester extremism, i think that that is a nuanced take that more americans and perhaps lawmakers on capitol hill would like to hear more about how you're going

to go after the battle against isis militarily as well. >> one of the things he suggested was that in the fall, the u.n. general assembly should take some of these issues up. that's a long way away, bret. >> yeah. you have things happening week by week day by day with isis as we've looked at that expanding map so how you're going to deal with it in the short-term is one thing. there are a lot of things in the speech that deal with the long term problem of extremism and terrorism. >> back to this idea he sort of paused and for a fact that he ended this, a lot of people he said in this country don't know muslims. they don't know they're your doctor, they're your -- i mean that -- is that the argument? i don't -- i don't feel that people believe that this is a war against muslim people who are living in all of the countries around the globe. in fact, as the point was made moments ago by captain chuck

nash, they're the people who need the help more than anyone in the military side of this battle and as we talked about before, they're not getting it. >> sure. i mean 90% of people killed by isis have been muslim. of course there's a sensitivity here but the president and the white house have gone to extremes to make sure that everyone knows that this is not a war on islam. people have talked before about a straw man that this white house often makes in many arguments. this is one of them. there aren't too many people, i think, who are at that point. they would just like more active laying out the policy of how you're going to take out the isis terrorists. >> he blamed the media for the perception this is a war against islam. i honestly don't know where that impression is coming from. thank you very much. we'll see you tonight. >> see ya martha. >> you have headlines. plenty to cover on fox news

channel and bret baier coming up at 6:00 tonight. have a good day. now we have it. >> a lot going on as the three-day summit wraps up. where did it get us? that's the big question today. see you tomorrow. jon: lot of people talking about that question. i'm jon scott. the white house is trying not to offend nearly a quarter of the world's population saying such language simply plays into the terrorist prop fanned today. but many critics say the president is avoiding reality what is driving terrorism around the world in doing so he is projecting weakness. karl rove, is watching and
