8:00 am
n 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 joins
8:01 am
you now. former senior advisor, deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush and a fox news contributor. i remember quite clearly many times when your former boss george w. bush, was in the white house, he said, our war is not with islam itself. this president does not want to say that. why, karl? >> i don't understand it because, making the distinction between the radical islamic terrorists and islam itself is a powerful tool in the war against terror. it allows you to say we stand with the aspirations of the vast majority of the muslim population around the world. mothers and fathers who desire for their children not a life of martyrdom and beheading, and violent conflict but they want a peaceful life for their children. if the president of the united states is unwilling to make this distinction, he loses the opportunity to rally to our side those muslims who are sitting on the sideline. he also loses an incredibly
8:02 am
powerful diplomatic tool. president bush was able to use this to say to saudi leaders. these people claim to speak in the name of your religion. part of the resources they have gotten in decades past came from you. you need to get actively engaged in saving your religion. these people do not speak for your faith. don't let them appear to speak for your faith. cut off resources and join the fight. i have other comments about the speech today. there were laudable points. ed need for economic opportunity, for educating women, transparency. respect for rule of law and tolerance. those are good goals to aim for but first and foremost none of those can be achieved or attempted unless there is suit for these people in these countries in these region. you can you like to educate women all you want but until they can open a school without
8:03 am
fear they will be attacked by radical islamists you can not provide education. you can not provide economic opportunity for mosul, the second largest city in iraq when it false to isis. he has laudable goals but he hags to beat them to provide security for these countries. jon: had feel of law school lectures the president used to do in a previous life. why the verbal gymnastics using the word islamic or muslim terrorists? >> i think the president is stubborn and arrow fan. he think he knows better and will not bend to the necessities of the moment. as a result we have odd moments. here at the end he brings up muslim communities in the united states. they're small. we don't get to know them. so sort of like this reassuring note to american muslims. one thing to say as a country, we're diverse with people of all faiths and all back grounds and
8:04 am
we believe in tolerance. it is another thing to sort of say, it was almost like an apologetic note we really haven't treated them nice. i really want you to remind them to treat us nice. you do need to speak out at moments of threat to the muslim community in the united states. president bush knew this after 9/11 when emotions were running high but that was not the moment today and not the necessity and the president i think missed it by not saying these are radical islamists who claim to speak in the name of a great religion. he came close to saying that but could not bring himself to finally say that. thereby lost the chance to help rally the vast that majority of muslims around the world who reject these tactics and look for leadership that stands in this divide. jon: he had something else to say early in the speech that caught my ear. i want to play it for you and get your reaction. here it is. >> we must remain unwaiverring in our fight against terrorist
8:05 am
organizations. in afghanistan our coalition is focused on training and assists afghan forces. we'll continue to conduct counterterrorism missions against remnants of al qaeda in the tribal regions. when necessary the united states will continue to take action against al qaeda affiliates in places likes yemen and somalia. we will quon continue to work with partners to help build up their security forces so they can prevent ungoverned spaces terrorists find safe haven. jon: when he talks about the remnants of al qaeda i found myself flashing back to three years for the campaign re-election when he was saying al qaeda is on the run. part of the problem we seem to face these days karl is that al qaeda as strong as ever or so it would seem. >> yeah. well and also he said just a couple weeks ago in the interview with the youtube woman glozell green who floats around in a bathtub of from the loops
8:06 am
he said we responsibly ended two wars. i'm e i'm talking to people who are concerned about afghanistan. the afghans are deeply concerned about the end of the u.s. combat role, more importantly, write today about the diminished footprint of the united states. we used to have a number of military facilities to allow us immediately to project our air power and special rate operators. we're down to one base. vast swatches of longer under umbrella of military support for the afghan troops. they're worried that the united states will leave them in a lurch. they want a residual force like we kept in korea for six decades. we want a a residual force that will help sustain them in the fight. just as iraqis did. they warranted a stay behind force. he said he want ad mess behind force. messed it up. we saw what happened in iraq as a result of that. do we want to see the same with the return of the taliban in al qaeda in afghanistan as well? it would be a huge defeat for the united states and a huge
8:07 am
security problem. so the president said the right things that we wanted to do these things. he is not providing muscle and will to do these things that he claims we need to do. jon: we'll see whether positive developments come out of this conference. karl rove, joining us today from austin texas. carl, thank you. >> you bet. >> overseas now to another summit as military leaders from two dozen countries fighting isis meet to discuss strategy in saudi arabia. the syrian civil war also on the agenda which killed more than 220,000 people. conor powell is following all the developments live from our mideast bureau in jerusalem. connor? >> reporter: jenna, the political and military leaders that make up the isis coalition agree, something needs to be done about the insurgency. what needs to be done is much more difficult to pinpoint. the arab countries of the coalition want u.s. to do more. nato and u.s. want the arab
8:08 am
countries to do more in the fight against isis. now, neither, it important to note are talking about any type of ground force or ground invasion in iraq. centcom commander general lloyd austin is trying to settle administration's point defeating isis can really only happen with a well-trained well-equipped strong iraqi army backed up by coalition air force. the u.s. and nato focus on getting more trainers more equipment, more support building up the iraqi army. there is not a lot of talk about the syrian side although there is some talk about another program that vets and trains and equips moderate syrian rebels about. the problem with that identifying these moderate syrian rebels proven to be nearly impossible task. one of the other things that is going on below the surface and not getting much coverage there is talk in the middle east about getting saudi arabia and kuwait and qatar to do more to sort of promote a much more moderate stream of islam. both of those countries, all three of those countries really
8:09 am
are the backbone for the islamic extremist ideology that makes up the foundation for isis, for al nusra, for al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood of the these countries promote that type of fundamentalism. now they deny they are linked and tied to the type of extremism but their ideology that they promote is really the foundation for those countries there. is a big effort to get saudi arabia, kuwait and qatar to do more. they have taken positive steps according to critics. critics want them to do a lot more jenna, toote more moderate form of islam in the region. jenna: important story, conor. thank you very much. jon: pro-russian rebel fighters control one key eastern ukraine town now after government troops were forced to retreat yesterday. now the european union will send in armored cars and use satellite imagery to make sure a shaky cease-fire deal has a chance of holding. meantime the british defense
8:10 am
minister says russia pose as real and present danger to european security as we see new video of russian bombers escorted away from british airspace yesterday. greg palkot is live in kiev with the latest there. greg? >> reporter: jon, there are cold war-style jitters all over the place but there is still a very hot war going on here in ukraine. it has been centering for the last couple of days around that eastern ukraine town you mentioned, debaltseve. we're seeing some fighting on the edge of that town but mostly it is in the control of russia-backed rebels. and, yes they can be nasty. they're called cossacks. they are fighters from russia. go tweens for moscow and rebels. they are reportedly responsible for a lot of bad stuff including the downing of airliner mh17 last year. this adds a ukrainian official is now admitting to fox news that rebels are holding 92 ukrainian soldiers as prisoners.
8:11 am
and 82 soldiers are missing. all of the result of the defeat this week. the rebels displayed some of the p.o.w.s to the media today. that official claims to us only 14 soldiers were killed. we are hearing significantly higher figures. meanwhile following an emergency meeting of security chiefs, ukrainian president petro poroshenko is calling for u.n. peace keepers to monitor any cease-fire here. russia quickly knocked down. rebel first quarters are mixed. poroshenko spoke on the phone today with vladmir putin leaders of germany and france. all still claim they want to go forward with this peace deal. still, we are getting reports of fighting elsewhere and both sides still say no to that heavy weapon pullback which was supposed to start this week. in the next few days, jon, we'll
8:12 am
see if as the dust settles from this latest fight, could a cease-fire go forward or is this just a warm-up for more trouble. back to you. jon: greg palkot, keeping an eye on a very dangerous situation from kiev. thank you, greg. >> back here at home some new information now on a big story. the labor dispute that snarled shipping at more than two dozen ports on the west coast and choked off billions of dollars in international trade. as cargo companies just snubbed the union by going straight to the dock workers with their quote, last, best, and final offer. chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live from the port of los angeles in california with more on this jonathan? >> reporter: jenna, those employers are still involved in direct face-to-face negotiations with the union leadership but this sending of a letter direct to the workers shows just how frustrated they are with those talks. here's why. ships like this would normally come in and out of this port having been unloaded in something like 24 to 48 hours.
8:13 am
but some of them are now sitting here for as much as two weeks and we're told that offshore there are something like 32 ships outside the port of los angeles now, waiting to get in here. it is a serious logjam. so serious, that the governors of washington state oregon and california, the states where these 29 west coast ports are located, issued a joint statement yesterday, with the oregon governor kate brown saying quote, we urge all parties to rise above their differences and find a common solution to avoid the disruptions that are beginning to suppress our efforts to insure a strong growing economy. and it is the threat to the national economy that led president obama on tuesday to dispatch his labor secretary thomas perez to san francisco to get directly involved in these talks between the employers and the unions. experts say that is a sure sign that the administration is
8:14 am
worried about the ongoing domino effect on any economic recovery. listen here. >> that means the president's involved. that is meant to bring political pressure to bear on the dispute which is in its endgame. this is met to break through that with a compromise that neither side may like but that both sides is feel is much preferrable to the alternative. >> reporter: and the direct talks between the unions and the employers will continue today in san francisco. jenna? jenna: jonathan, thank you. >> the defendant's girlfriend testifies in the "american sniper" murder trial, telling the court eddie ray routh asked her to marry him the night before chris kyle and chad littlefield were shot dead. hear how she responded. plus nearly 200 hospital patients may have been exposed to a drug resistant superbug. two of them are dead. what happened in that hospital?
8:16 am

8:18 am
jon: now here are some crime stories we're following for you. business owners in tampa offering a reward for finding 33-year-old april foster. she was last seen leaving a club after night out with friends last week. foster did not show up for work the next day. her family said it is not like her to disappear. a judge set the trial diet for jesse matthew charged with murdering university of virginia student hannah graham. after his trial on attempted murder and sexual assault charges from a 2005 case. eddie ray routh, defendant in the "american sniper" murder trial, apparently asked his girlfriend to murder him the night before the shootings. she said yes according to her testimony. the next day, prosecutors said he shot and filled famed navy sniper chris kyle and his friend. >> it's a very potent virulent
8:19 am
organism that can cause, you know death. >> i think people should be scared. >> some new information on a superbug doctors are tracking in los angeles today. a bug highly resistant to antibiotics. it may have killed two people and infected nearly 200 at ronald reagan ucla medical center. the hospital blames contaminated medical instruments. will carr following the story live from ucla. >> reporter: good morning, jenna. well, this is a major concern because this superbug which is commonly referred to as cre has such a high fatality rate killing 40 to 50% of people once the infection spreads into their bloodstream. ucla discovered the outbreak late last month running tests on a patient. that's when they realize ad specialized endoscope, one inserted down throats of about half a million people every year, may have transferred the cre bacteria from patient to
8:20 am
patient. >> they probably could have sterilized the equipment better this is a wakes upcall for how hospitals sterilize equipment in between procedures. we're talking ucla here. this is one of our top medical centers in the country. so this can be prevented. it shouldn't have happened. and now that it has happened we have to screen the people who have been in contact with it. >> reporter: uca has been in touch with patient who is have been exposed. they're working with the cdc and if the. da the good news this is not contagious through the air. so experts are not anticipating a major outbreak. that said, since 2012 there have been half a dozen outbreaks impacting about 150 people all across the country. health medical experts say the medical industry needs to better clean equipment. they make sure they don't overuse antibiotics. they need to create more antibiotics to help fight back against these superbugs. jenna. jenna: a big story will, thank
8:21 am
you. jon: the right to carry on campus up for debate again but gun rights advocates are switching gears. why women would be a big factor in an effort to allow weapons on school property. plus, why one lawyer says police dui checkpoints have simply illegal and what judge napolitano has to say about your rights if you get pulled over.
8:24 am
jenna: new information coming in now. with lawmakers in 10 states pushing for right to carry guns on campuses. many some say this is so women can protect themselves from sexual assault. others say this is also a way to perhaps avoid a tragedy like the one at virginia tech by arming students. bring in fox news judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano.
8:25 am
judge, what do you think of this? should could, students be armed legally on campus? >> i am a strong supporter of the right to keep and bear arms and supreme court's mows recent opinions on it indicate it is a fundamental personal right. we're not talking about children. we're talking about people who attained majority. they're over the age of 18. so as a constitutional, legal, matter we start with the premise that students have the right to carry guns because they are adults and we start with the premise that where there are more guns there is less crime because criminals and thugs and crazy people fear getting shot by their victims. however, this changes depending upon where the college is and who own it. take princeton university, for example. it's a private university and it can control whether or not you can carry guns on its property. let's take rutgers university, for example. it is own by the state. it can not control how you exercise your fundamental
8:26 am
liberties on its property. that's the difference. who owns the, who owns the dirt. who owns the real estate. jenna: can you actually go further, judge for private universities, could you be allowed to carry and in certain spaces but not others? could that be determined as well by the university solely? >> you know, these are issues the great question, jenna. these are issues that the courts have not yet looked at. and there are examples of people bringing guns to campus and shooting back at these crazy people like at virginia tech or two generations ago the university of texas an english professor actually had a deer rifle in his office and he started shooting at the top of that tower that prevented the shooter from being able to use his weapon. how the court was view this, i don't know. some would say, students are children. this is a haven. we have enough protection for them. others would say, what are you crazy? students are victim.
8:27 am
like shooting fish in a barrel. besides girls are getting raped. let them defend themselves. >> the talking about the premise, i'm curious about this. some lawmakers think there could be opening that is alluded to in "the new york times," if they talk about campus sexual assault might be more likely to allow guns on campus for that reason versus the reason this could stop a mass shooting. what is the motivation for allowing guns matter here? how do you think that could be applied? >> well the motivation matters because it would be easier politically to arm people in order to protect themselves from, from sexual assault because, we all know sexual assault is rampant on colleges and women are having a difficult time protecting themselves. but it should also be an argument in favor of the right to keep and bear arms for whatever reason you would bear arms, which is again, to stop a killer from killing innocents.
8:28 am
but your premise is an excellent one. i think that is an easier argument for even liberal politicians who are not fond of gun rights to accept. jenna: well the will be interesting to see where this goes from here. again, several states considering it. we'll keep our viewers. want to talk about florida. one lawyer is trying to get dui checkpoint bans say they violate american as right. there is flyer you can put up window, if you do not want to be checked by the cops. we have picture of it. talk us through this judge. are checkpoints illegal? what about this sign i remain silent. no searches. i want my lawyer. what do you think about what it has to say, the flyer? >> in interest of full disclosure, jenna, you're talking to a former judge who when he was on the bench found these checkpoints illegal and unconstitutional in new jersey where i sat and that opinion was
8:29 am
upheld by the higher courts. of course it is illegal fort bliss randomly to stop a car and ask the driver, who are you, where are you coming from, where are you going, by the way, what have you had to drink. theoretically under the law you're only obligation when the police stop you, show them, show them, your driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. beyond that, you don't have to say anything. you don't have to roll down the window. look cops are human beings. if you remain utterly itly silent you refuse to roll down the window you know them, they think you will have something to hide. jenna: looking at video, they have check points. if a policeman pulled me over i instantly start talking to him or her and providing any information. that would be natural. i wouldn't even really think probably initially about my personal liberties perhaps being violated.
8:30 am
certain groups say, this is dangerous though to put to allow the public to not go through a check point if they don't want to. perhaps could be covering for someone that is driving drunk and they're a threat to public safety. what about that argument. >> well the police need to develop, in many states they have better means of locating drunk drivers without stopping everybody. i mean in every state in the union, these checkpoints, where everyone is stopped never mind the one i had in new jersey which is a long time ago, in every state in the union they stop everybody or stop every fourth car or something like that. that stuff is out. that is clearly unconstitutional. they will stop you, they have to have evidence about your driving. but the reason this lawyer in florida is come up with this idea is, is simply this. like you suggested you might react. most people would react. they tell the cops too much. they put their foot in their mouth. they give the police an opening. and remaining silent obviously does not give the police an opening. whatever the cops do, whether
8:31 am
they arrest you. whether they charge you. it is easier for your lawyer to defend you when you haven't said anything to the police. jenna: note to self. also have tendency to talk to much to judges, lawyers. >> jenna something tells me, something tells me the cops enjoy speaking with you. jenna: yeah. i don't know about that judge. i just tend to, hi, okay. on my way. judge, thank you. interesting story. all of that when we look forward to have youing back to weigh in. thank you so much, judge. >> pleasure. jon: look at this image from space. no green in sight as snow whitewashes the northeast. we're going to take a look when poor new england might thaw out as much of the country is dealing with below average temperatures. the government putting documents seized in the bin laden raid to good use during a terror trial. now we're learning there could be lots and lots of documents in that treasure trove that are not
8:35 am
jon: quick look right now at what's still to come this hour of "happening now." want to keep online searches private? it will cost one new high speed service. hear what company is charging for online secrecy and how much. plus wrapping up the white house summit what it calls violent extremism which is sparking criticism for the
8:36 am
administration's refusal to call it islamic extremism. should we characterize the terrorists as islamic and what does it mean if we don't? meet a woman hoping to score the trip of a lifetime. one-way journey to become one of the first earth links to set up house on mars. extreme temperatures here on earth in this fox extreme weather alert. from more snow and sleet to the deep freeze, with arctic air on the move, sending temps plunging to record lows and freeze warnings even as far south as florida. meteorologist maria molina who hails from there live with details. maria. >> hey jon yeah i will get a call from my mom that it is cold in florida. i can't feel too bad for them. look at numbers as we head farther north. even atlanta you're in the teens out there. that goes for the city of raleigh as well. as they continue northward get
8:37 am
even colder. single digits in cincinnati and chicago and minneapolis. temperatures are below zero. when you factor in the wind, current windchill temperatures are colder than what the thermometer reads. well below zero in places like cincinnati and farther north into chicago. we will be tracking a storm system as we head into tomorrow. it will develop across parts of the tennessee valley and parts of the mississippi river. we'll see the storm system developing out here. temperatures will be cold in some spots for possible winter weather. wintery mix coming down, freezing rain. that will be a big issue on the roadways. that system continues tracking eastward. coming up for the weekend, another day where we could look at heavy snow across portions of the senator east. i-95 corridor will be a tricky forecast again. we're looking possibility warmer temperatures mixing in. that could make things tricky, is it going to be freezing rain
8:38 am
or all snow in those big cities? forecast low temperatures jon, stays cold as we head into saturday morning. by sunday, warmer temperatures in the 30s in new york city. upper 20s in boston. that will feel great after the temperatures we've seen lately. jon: when you're getting excited about 30 degrees, that tells you have a bit of a rough go. maria molina thank you. >> thank you. >> another big story for is today. isis is garnering a lot of headlines but there are big developments on the terror front linked to al qaeda. one of the first terror suspects is presented seized during the 2011 raid where usama bin laden was killed. nasir is on trial in federal court today, where he stands accused of plotting to attack a shopping center and newsroom in europe as well as the subways in new york city. only a few years ago these plots were hatched. his name appeared on paperwork found at bin laden's hideout in pakistan. that's where nearly four years
8:39 am
ago navy seals staged that daring raid. it took 15 minutes to reach the house and the compound. another three minutes to find and kill bin laden. once bin laden was dead the mission shifted to intelligence-gathering. that was the bulk of the raid. it took 20 minutes and that's when the treasure trove of terror documents were found. the seal teams risking their lives not only to fine bin laden but the additional intelligence that may illuminate his influence and strength of al qaeda. right after bin laden was killed an all that terror data was discovered the president and his team repeatedly said that core al qaeda is no longer a threat, a comment he recently echoed late last year. >> but here's what i want every single one of you to know. because of you, this 9/11 generation of heroes has done everything asked of you and met every mission tasked to you. we are doing what we set out to
8:40 am
do. because of you, usama bin laden is no more. because of you the core al qaeda leadership in afghanistan and pakistan has been decimated. jenna: comment about core al qaeda leadership is what we're paying close attention to. we're learning that it may not be decimated as the president says. take a listen. >> there is a lot of information in there that, this goes back to 2011 when ubl was killed. after that the administration almost issued a death certificate for the al qaeda. and said it is essentially over. they're on the run. but when you exploit the documents what you found out is ubl very much in charge of his network. it is spreading in different places in the world. he obviously had a relationship with the pakistani government. the intelligence service was shielding him and protecting him in that location. he has a relationship with iran. he desires to go back to afghanistan if the taliban takes over. a lot of issues there associated
8:41 am
with him and mostly what it showed is ubl despite the fact that he was hiding in plain view was still very much in charge of al qaeda using a courier to do it as we all become familiar with. the fact of the matter is that organization was growing. it was not collapsing as the administration was suggesting. so the view from people inside the government is that pushback on their narrative and therefore they have kept a clamp on this information. >> general keane on our show yesterday. in the last 24 hours in my own reporting i have learned that there is great concern about those documents. and that's something that steve hayes of "the weekly standard" has been covering for the last several weeks. in fact he is one of the first people to shine a light on this story. in an article in the end of january steve highs writes this. there were letters between usama bin laden and other terrorist leaders. plans for future attacks, details about fund-raising successes and failures
8:42 am
descriptions of relationships between al qaeda and governmen region. the documents remain unexploited to this day. the documents in the bin laden raid remain unexploited until today. steve hayes will be here live during the next hour of "happening now" much more what we're discover something a very important story. jon? jon: want to keep your online searches secret? it is going to cost you. what one big company wants to charge to keep your digital fingerprints private. plus, the u.s. fighting a war against extremists. should we call them islamic? the president says no. what a former u.n. spokesman thinks of that strategy.
8:43 am
8:45 am
8:46 am
should address grievances that terrorist exploits. is he avoiding the issue or does he have a point? >> plus the "american sniper" murder trial. our #oneluckyguy judge alex is back. >> high school keep as student from attending a sweetheart dance because, she has no sweetheart. >> so sad. >> what kind of lesson does that teach? >> it is so sad. all on "outnumbered." we'll debate that at the top of the hour. >> our hashtag lucky guy is honorable by the way. >> good hint. >> andrea thank you. jon: president obama insisting america is not at war with islam. that our fight is with violent extremists. but are they not islamic extremists? during this week's white house summit on violent extremism, many critics are slamming the administration for refusing to
8:47 am
describe the terrorists we're up against as islamic or muslim. let's put the question to rick grenell. he advised four ambassadors to the u.n. he is also a fox news contributor. does it matter, the terminology that we use? >> it does and i know some people are questioning look, whatever we call it, let's get beyond this and i would agree. first of all, it matters because you have to know what you're fighting. you have to know that this is not a long-term policy to you know, try to get muslims to have better entrepreneurship skills. this is what the president is talking about. it is almost i can loot president is talking about the flood insurance when the house is burning down. so i would say we can have the long-term discussion but right now we need the fire department at the house. we need to confront the isis killers and. that is what we're not hearing. the reason why this matters is because the president's policy that he put forward in the authorization to congress
8:48 am
doesn't allow intelligence officers on the ground. we're not able jon to find out what the best target is so that our bombing campaign is just sporadic. it is going nowhere. this is why it matters. jon: the president had to be dragging kicking and screaming to that bombing campaign it seemed. he talked about the fact we're taking on isil in that way. as you say we're not dropping a whole lot of bombs. we're not launching kinds of missions we used to launch during the gulf war for instance. >> look a lot of generals will tell you we don't have the right information. when you don't have precision information you can't have precision bombing campaigns. you're doing a general bombing campaign. that is more expensive. also wreaking more havoc. i'm not sure why we would want to have a drone campaign, or a general bombing campaign to fight isis when we, what we really need, we need boots on the ground. we need to forget about this campaign promise that the
8:49 am
president made. get boots on the ground so the intelligence we have is timely and accurate. jon: i thought of the irony of that footage the picture of the coptic christians who were executed on the shores there by isis. those were all christians who had left egypt to go to libya because libya has oil and therefore has a lot of jobs. that is what those guys were doing over there working. now the president says, you know, if we only would provide jobs, we wouldn't have a problem with isis. >> look, again i think the president is looking at the long-term strategy and missing the short-term crisis. and that is the biggest problem. some of the things that he was talking about doing, is what you do after you get the house no longer on fire. that is when you rebuild and i think you're exactly right. the egyptians, for instance, are really annoyed at the americans right now. they see the americans are not putting forward any ideas. so they're going around us. jon: and that is why we were not notified, for instance of the targets that the egyptian air
8:50 am
force struck in libya? >> yeah. egyptians are saying what is the purpose of telling the americans? they're either going to try to stop us or not going to participate. so there is no need. when there is a vacuum of leadership then other start acting. then we have chaos around the world because there is no strategy. look, i've been inside the security council. i know when you have an issue every head turns to the guy or the girl who has the united states placard in front of them. it is just a fact. they look at the americans for the strategy. you don't have to have boots on the ground. american troops every single time, in every conflict. but the americans have to call the meetings. they have to decide who is doing what and they have to have the strategy. jon: rick grenell. thank you. >> thanks jon. jenna: well california woman has a shot at history and being the first person to step foot on mars. so how close is she to a one-way ticket to the red planet?
