moved to text. joey logano what do you think about that form? >> i don't see anything wrong with it. a security guard had to ruin the fun. have a great day we'll see you back here tomorrow. bill: new concerns the bite house is playing politics with national security. we learned about a threat to the largest shopping ma in the country and the white house is sound the alarm. >> the american public needs to understand the consequences of permitting a shutdown of the department of homeland security. bill: is the new threat being used to put pressure on congress? that's the question we are asking today. martha: this ways we have got.

senate democrats refused to vote on the bill because think don't want to vote on the president's immigration plan. >> they are putting a priority on an unlawful or executive action or one that's being challenged over the safety of the american people and i think that's a shame. martha: mike emanuel has the latest on this. we are hear being this plan "b." what does not look like? >> reporter: the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell pivoted to separating homeland funding from the i am grailings immigration executive

action. >> it's one way to get the bill unstuck and move the debate forward. >> reporter: homeland security runs out of money late friday night. but the senate is trying to get something passed. >> reporter: what is the reaction from senate democrats who expressed concerns about the president's actions on immigration as well. >> reporter: there are 8 democrats who expressed concerns about the president taking unilateral action on immigration. they refused to break a filibuster but we got news from joe manchin on fox and friends this morning. >> i will support a bill that will prevent the president from his executive actions. i would vote with him on that. but we need top have a clean vote on the homeland security bill.

>> a democrat breaking ranks "the democratic leadership. we'll see if this bill going after the 2014 executive action can get through the united states senate. the howse is taking a wait and see approach to see what the senate can pass. bill: all this discussion coming in debate as the terror group pal shabaab -- terror group al-shabaab is calling for an attack on the mall of america. jeh johnson is calling on the american people to stay vigilant. >> if there is not specific threat why was the secretary suggesting to people to be extra careful to that mall? does it have anything to do with this dhs funding file to scare congress more to get that money?

bill: byron york, welcome back to you. what about the charge. guilty or not on that charge in. >> i think there is no doubt there is a contradiction between a you just heard josh earnest say and what the director homeland security jeh johnson said. he said specifically about the mall of america threat saying that's the reason i need a budget. they are highlighting terrorist threats as part of the evident to get dhs funding passed on capitol hill. bill: democratsee accused republic -- democrats accused republicans of doing this when they were in power. >> i think you will have the same accusations about this.

bill: did republicans put themselves in a bind? could they have managed this better? >> they attached a bill to defund the president's unilateral action on immigration. they attached that to dhs funding. they knew of there would and fight. they cop have done it separately but they thought the only way to pressure democrats to vote on the immigration action is to defind dhs. you heard' mitch mcconnell say we'll do a clean vote specifically on the president's immigration action then we'll do a dhs funding vote. bill: if they don't get a deal, border security and tsa employees don't foimed and go home. >> absolutely not. we just heard the president say

if the funding is not passed, they will go to work without pay. they won't be paid for as long as there is no funding. they are all what's called essential employees. bill: you are always essential. we'll see you sometime soon on "america's newsroom." martha: congressman pete king will be here with more on whether the white house is playing politics with security. bobbiy gin p -- bobby jindal says the president is unfit to be commander-in-chief. and former cia chief mike hayden on how isis is expanding in 12 countries around the globe. more christians are now isis prisoners this morning. islamic state militants

reportedly abducting scores of assyrian christians after they overran villages in northeast syria. how many people have been taken? what do we know about this? >> we are hearing anywhere from 78 to 100 assyrian christians are being abducted by isis. this began monday when the terror group raided numerous villages along the river in northeastern syria. this river hooks up with the euphrates. it's an area largely controlled by isis and it's where there has been heavy fighting the last couple days including coalition airstrikes. martha: did anyone manage to get

away? >> reporter: we are hearing possibly 3,000 people. but the problem is that communication lines to these villages have been cut so it's difficult getting information about those who have been taken hostage. as one woman told the associated press, she doesn't know if her loved ones are alive or like so many others, they have been slaughtered. bill: some tough words from louisiana governor bobby jindal on the steps of the white house after the governor's meeting with the president yesterday. >> the president disqualified himself to be our commander-in-chief. >> governor jindal will debate that next. live. >> why does the president down

play the threat worldwide of islamic terror. what is the strategy there from david axlerod former seniored a a -- advisor to the president. >> a bomb threat leading in the ting a bank robbery. >> it's so scary. you just pray it's not you.

the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

martha: a bizarre robbery plot played out. the cfo of that bank showed up with a bomb attached to him. two suspects tide the executive's mother to a bed and strapped a similar device on her. that was also fake. people in the community are very concerned. >> it doesn't matter anymore if you are in a nice neighborhood these days. martha: nobody was hurt. no arrests have been made. but police say they are not ruling out involvement of the executive himself in this story. so more to come in this one. >> people are concerned about the president's unwillingness to

call out -- radical islamic extremism. this is a war against radical islamic terrorists. bill: that's louisiana governor bobby jindal. he states president obama has focused more on criticizing america and lecturing the american people than devising a plan to you hunt down and kill these extremists. with me now good morning. you write this. president obama has shown the country he's incapable of being commander-in-chief. strong charge. defend that. why? >> it gives me no joy to stay this. i think he has guys qualified himself to be commander in chief

for a couple reasons. he refuels to identify one of the main security threats by name. eric holder says we are not in a state of war. you have the state department saying we are not going to kill our way to security. these barbarians killed over 100 school children, they are killing editorialists when they don't like their cartoons. this president is more intent on telling us about the crusades. and when he smits a military request to congress he puts an arbitrary time line. a three-year deadline. we know we'll be done when we hunt down and kill these terrorists. then he bars the list of ground troops. we need a list of our military members. we don't need a president trying to be politically correct.

he won't even name the enemy we face and now he's refusing to give our military the tools they need. bill: you were in the room for 90 minutes with him yesterday. did you tell him this? >> we have been in these rooms before. it's more of the president talking to us than a real dialogue. we heard the president tell us he's not interested in back away from amnesty. he says even if the supreme court rules against him he's not interested in revisiting the obamacare issue. this administration is not giving the military the tools they need aviddifying islamic terrorism. we didn't -- bill: what he would argue is

this is what isis wants. they want to be able to tell the world that the west is at war with islam. they want to use that message and recruit more fighters. that's what he would argue. is he right on that point? >> no, he's wrong. the president continues to say we are not at war with islam. that's obviously true but we are pat war with radical islam. you hear other foreign leaders say, the president of egypt and the president of france. the way we deny the recruiting tool is to hunt them down and kill them. this political correctness is hurting our aability to win this -- hurting our ability to win his fight. 15-minute. bill: you would support american ground troops, is that right? >> i think we need every option on the table. i'm not suggesting that's our first option. but we've need to go to our

leaders and say what will it take to eradicate isis. we have allies willing to provide ground troops, including turkey. there are a lot of allies warrived if they go after isis it will -- allies are worried if they go after isis it will create a vacuum for assad. bill: what else your overall strategy. >> here is where i think the president made a find -- made a fundamental mistake. he's willing to take a bad deal over a good deal. he said he's committed to overthrowing assad but he hasn't shown that. you go back to that failed red line in syria. i think we need to be providing

arms to the kurds. you have the egyptians participating in the attacks because of the attacks on their own citizens. this is time when congress needs to give him the ability to win this war. he hasn't asked for enough. bill: you think iran is behind all this. in the end do you think he will change over the next two years? >> i hope he will because week not afford a nuclear armed iran. that's an existential threat. that's an awful legacy for this president to leave the next president. bill: sir thank you for your time. governor bobby jindal from baton rouge. martha: there is new details on a possible nuclear deal with iran. the reports say the u.s. may

allow the country the program it needs to built a bomb in 10 years. bill: you are walking on the road when the ground beneath you simply gives way. martha: oh, my. if you don't think beat con men at their own game when you think aarp, you don't know "aarp." the aarp fraud watch network helps everyone protect themselves

and their families against scams and identity theft. find more real possibilities at aarp.org/possibilities.

bill: russian-backed rebels claim they started pulling back heavy weapons and a tilery. so far no ukrainian government officials could confirm whether the pullback started. senate sources telling fox news the bill approving the keystone pipeline will be sent to

president obama today. the president has 10 days to veto it, something he threatened to do. bill:bill. alaska has allowed the use of recreational pot and it will go into effect today. martha: there is a deal that would allow iran to continue enrichment capabilities for 10 years. details of this deal are emerging. what's in it? >> based on these reports and other leaks from the negotiation

paints a picture that's very, very disturbing from the u.s. point of view. it's a miss traffic the get-go to say this deal to the extent we understand it effectively limit iran's nuclear weapons program at all. the concessions iran is said to be making from superficial. it doesn't absolute aspects of highly enriched uranium and does not deal with the ballistic missile program that is the intended goal. we ought to be a little bit humble about our intelligence capabilities. i think it is a bad deal, rests on bad premises and we'll have a bad outcome. martha: it appears the administration really wants this

on the resume, that they reached a deal with iran. given everything else going on in the middle east, does it feel to you that we are cozying up to iran or feeling they are sort of the more spain of the partners that could potentially be out there? is that the decision that's been made here? >> >> i think the president's view of america's place in the world is we cause as much trouble as we prevent. i think he sees the iranian nuclear program a response to america and israel. if we show to iran there is no threat from us certainly the president is doing evening he to be display that approach, that iran will calm down and give up its nuclear weapons program. that's the road to disaster. but i think that's the president's world view. martha: do you think that's behind the strategy for dealing with assad and other players in

the middle east including putin who are more sort of sympathetic to the iranian perspective? >> i think it assad regime wouldn't be in power today if it weren't for iran fan russia. despite his commit to the overthroat assad regime he didn't want to get in the way of negotiations. he said if we try to you interfere with what moscow is doing in ukraine it will have an effect on the iran negotiations. bill: the president accused of repeatedly downplaying the threat of terror. >> what's the famous saying about local newscasts. if it bleeds it leads. you show crime stories and

fires. that's what folks watch. it's all about ratings. bill: david axlerod here is to address that and a lot more. martha: va secretary robert mcdonald trying to fix a broken agency. what he has had to apologize for. we'll show you the tape. over an average adult lifetime that's 221,314 cubes of sugar. but you can help change that with a simple choice. drink more water. filtered by brita. ♪ and introducing our new advanced filter, now better than ever. ♪ grind virtually any kind of food

waste into an unending source of electrical power for a city? when emerson takes up the challenge it's never been done before simply becomes consider it solved. emerson.

bill: va secretary bob mcdonnell apologizing for lying about his military record. secretary mcdonald did not serve in special forces. he said i incorrectly stated i had been in special forces. that was inaccurate and i

apologize to anyone who was offend bid my misstatement. >> there is a conflict of interest between the 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. martha: the president has been accused by some of downplaying the threat from islamic ex-trievments like isis. a man who has spent a lot of time with president obama. david axlerod. congratulations on the book. you say it's rising up the list of the best sellers. the president talked about

people accusing us of being at war with islam. i don't know anybody who thinks we are at war with islam. where does he get that notion? >> 99.999% of muslims in the world are not involved in extremism and we need their alliance in this battle against these extremists. so we don't want to be in a position where we are suggesting to them that we believe this is -- martha: who thinks we are at war with islam? everyone understands we are at war with these extremist groups. >> no one knows that better than the president of the united states. the guy who authorizes military action. from the time i got there. er single day was involved in authorizing actions to fight back against tear rainfall rifle. and going after usama bin laden.

i don't think he needs a primer on whether we are at war with islam. the question is whether we stigmatize the entire faith. martha: people are being killed in bigger numbers than any other religion. so they know they are the victims of this more than anything. we are now in our fourth secretary of defense. a lot of people look at that and say there has been differences of opinion in the pentagon of how to deal with taking on this threat. that the president has been clear enough in his strategy that they have plans ready to go, that they want to arm the kurds and the syrian rebels for the past two years. so i guess what is the president's real strategy for defeating this enemy? is it changing? his his mind change on that? >> i'm not there and i'm not part of their policy discussions

but let me say i think one of the strengths of the president and you may disagree that he always asked the question, what next? what is the first step, the second step, the third step. it's important to think about where we are going here. if we send in large numbers of troops, for example, what are the up reply cases of that. how long are they going to be there? how do you establish -- we have seen in iraq if you don't have an understanding between the different sects to coexist how do you instill some of that. there are questions that have to be asked. if you are the commander in chief and you are in charge. you were the commander-in-chief what would you do? martha: a couple years ago he said assad must go. weep watches hundreds of thousands of syrians pouring

across the border and he said assad must go. i would begin i suppose by arming the syrian rebels. >> you see we sit here and we have the luxury of speculate being these things. the fact is that isis is at war with assad. we are pat war with isis. so it creates complications there. obviously we abhor with assad has done to his own people. but we are focused on this threat of isis where you started this interview. how you handle that conflicting -- those conflicting goals. martha: you spay what i would do. i don't know, i'm a lowly anchor. >> you are a powerful voice. people listen to you are every morning for guidance. martha: i listen to some voices say where is the winston

churchill, where is the person who looks at the world in a come pro hencive way. >> would that the world were as simple as it was in the past. the world is complicated. you have got tools terrorists have tools they never had before. special media so you have to fight that war on a whole different scale. so the world isn't what it was. the fact is that the president has mobilitessed 60 countries and most importantly the countries in the religion to take some responsibility for security in that reason. martha: why is there no meeting going on in egypt right now or in jordan with president obama at that meeting standing shoulder to shoulder with king abdullah and generallal and general

sisi? >> i have no doubt the president hasn't met with king abdullah. martha: he was in president begging for bullets. did he get them? >> i don't think king abdullah would tell you i don't have close and constant communication with the president of the united states. martha: i want to ask you a quick question about iran. we were talking to ambassador bolton. he said it's clear in his mind the president has take and more gentle route with assad and putin because they want this deal with iran to work. do you believe the president feels that a deal with iran is worth kind of allowing putin and assad a little bit of leverage in their own regions to get it? >> i think the president -- i traveled the world for two years

with the president where he implored the world's leaders to join together in tripling sanctions against iran and we did. the world did. people stopped -- people scoffed at the possibility you could put together such sanctions. now you have people on this set and elsewhere calling for more sanctions because they have been so effective. same thing with russia. the president brought europe together. a lot of people said europe wouldn't tolerate strong sanctions against russia but they did and now the truks economy is in sham bells. i don't know that that's gentle. i think that's firm. the question is are you being strategic on how you put pressure on these regimes. i don't know whether they are going to succeed or not. if they failed are we prepared -- do we try and take military packs when paul of the

generals suggest that that would only delay their program by a short period of time as well. so what is the most effective way of trying to limit and top their nuclear program. that's what he has to consider. martha: there are so many different elements here when we talk about iran and the sunnis and isis. the president has been called and -- an appeaser. do you think all that caught him by surprise? >> i don't think anybody predicted precisely what's happened with isis. i don't think the intelligence community predicted what happened with isis but i don't think the president has been caught off guard there is a huge terrorist threat because he has been fighting it every days since he got to the white house. martha: in the back to you talk about one thing the president wishes he could have done more.

that was to bring people together in washington. why do you think that didn't happen? >> we won a huge victory in 2008 swept a large democratic majority. the republican leadership made a decision that we had an economic crisis, he would have to make series of decisions, each of which were as unpopular as necessary like saving the american auto industry and they were going to make him live with those decisions and act on a partisan basis to solve them because it maximized their chances of wing in the 2010 mid-term election. i think that's a lang part why we weren't able to come to terms. martha: the book is grade.

good luck with it. bill: breaking news take to you southern california northwest of l.a. fox l.a. reports a rain has derailed in oxnard. we don't know the extent of those injuries. at least three train cars jumped the cars there. it's southern california's metrolink commuter service struck a truck on the track the city of oxnard. a number of train cars derailed. the truck was completely engulfed in flames. we'll noneo monitor that and let you know what we learned from southern california. in the meantime a growing controversy over the terror warning at the mall. america. allegations the white house hyped up the threat to shame republicans into passing a homeland security funding bill. is that the case or not?

congressman peter king is live next on that. martha: an 18-wheeler trucks out of control on anizey bridge dangling off the guardrail.

>> neither party should be playing poll 2006 an issue that's so important to the american people. if there are threats they should be followed through on. but let's stay focused on who our enemy is and who how we need to defeat them. >> reporter: that's a congresswoman from hawaii. congressman peter king serves on the house homeland security

committee. welcome back here to america. newsroom. good morning sir. is there a mixed message when jeh johnson says there is a threat to the mall and josh earnest says we have known about this for some time and we have been watching it. what's the truth? >> we have to take the threat seriously. i don't believe there is an orchestrated effort by al-shabab. once it's posted on social media, is especially in minnesota where there is a large somali community. you have to worry about the lone wolf striking out. here in new york the nypd has increased its security. the malls are getting more pro for example the police. both parties quite frankly are not addressing this issue.

we should not be cutting off dhs funding and i blame both parties for that. we have to stop the games. bill: jeh johnson said if anyone is planning to go to the mall on sunday they have to be particularly careful. now with regard to funding on dhs. will there be a deal by friday? >> i would hope so. it's too risky. this is too vital. it's too important. the democrats are being irresponsible. and the republicans were wrong in making this a hostage to the immigration issue. they are not the same, they shouldn't be and we have to address it. there is too much of a risk here. reporter: democrats ledge republicans put themselves in a bind. do did they mismanage this from the start? >> i think we have mismanaged it and the democrats are being totally responsible.

but i don't want to just be finger pointing. prup cans are in charge. democrats have the presidency. i think we have to cop together and get this done by friday. the american people say if you can't agree on this what can you agree on. in doing that it's putting the country at risk. bill: the republicans say they will take the blame if anything shuts down. but in truth nothing shuts down. border security still operates. the tsa doesn't go home. these division of our government and security don't fold on friday if there is no deal, do they? >> you can't be sending your funding grant money to places that rely on this funding, it's important to keep it going. 85% of the people are coming into work. the front office people will not be working. also you are taking a risk.

you are sending people to work without paying them, they are not going to do the same job as if they were getting paid. why take that risk. bill: 50,000 would be furloughed. i'll take you on your word and expect a deal before friday. we'll see what happens then. peter king, congressman from new york with me now. thanks. martha: we are watching the breaking news situation where they are administering to some of those who were injured. a train collided with a truck on the tracks in oxnard, california northwest of l.a.ts of injuries. they sent the ambulances to the scene here. we'll bring you more on this breaking news when we come back.

this metrolink train was headed south towards los angeles and struck a truck. locals are saying 30 injured. they have nod said of any fatalities. three cars are off to their side. the truck it struck caught fire. some of the pictures on twitter are dramatic of that truck on fire. they shut down the road that runs parallel. there are the pictures of the train hitting the truck. you can see a high commute area as people head from the oxnard-ventura area into the san fernando valley and into los angeles, generally. train service is basically stopped from the north and they can only go to camarillo from the south. if you know lax that's a big deal for people.

the truck caught fire and basically burned to the ground. we don't know if the driver survived or if he's injured. but the train struck that vehicle and it caused problems. we have seen 5 6 7 people being treated at the same time as we watched our live pictures coming in from fox 11. we are told 30 injured. these things change as it goes on as breaking news continues and they start to sort things out. but so far when they said no fatalities that's still a very evolving situation to say the least as the rescues continue and the treatment continues. you can see the ambulances along the railroad tracks. 5:45 local time. >> it would have been crowd. perhaps not as crowded it may have been later. we'll be back on this story in a

that restaurant killed. he also left one waitress severely injured. the latest reports we are getting from the government there, he himself also was killed. it is not clear whether he turned the gun on himself or whether he was killed while he was being subdued by police. apparently that's what happened. police entered quite quickly. no real reason why, martha. we're checking it all out. no indication of anything like a terror-related or ukraine-russia related, various issues swirling around the world right now. it looks like pretty much, seems like a very madman going in and creating some real harm there. back to you. martha: awful situation. greg, thank you very much. bill: we'll keep an eye what is happening in europe. back out to southern california now where at least nine ambulances are on the scene. some of the images heres, they take us deeper into the story. the fire department of ventura county report this is is multicasualty crash site. adam housley working his hours

sources live in l.a. amounted dam, what more do you have? >> reporter: bill, looking talking and texting with many so one on the ground, looks like happened at crossing guarded and gated. it was not a unmarked crossing where you don't have a crossing arm. it happened an hour and 15 minutes though. it happened in oxnard. for those that don't know southern california, a an hour and 15 minutes south and west of los angeles. a lot of commuters come there this time of the morning. goes through the san fernando vally. the train appears to have struck a truck in a crossing knocking three cars on its side. another one is crooked off the tracks. derailing four three of them severely. we've seen ourselves video comes in. one of the trucks, there are reports may have been two trucks struck. we're trying to get that sorted out. looks like a second vehicle was hit somehow or affected somehow by the train accident this morning. we know as you mentioned, bill 30 injuries what is the initial

report has been. nine ambulances on scene. calling it a multicasualty incident. triage is set up on roadway parallels the tracks heading into los angeles. we've seen at least five or six patients from our own eyes on skyfox over this right now being treated as the incident has moved on. it has disrupted train service throughout the southern california area. this is single track section used by union pacific by amtrak, as well as commuter trains. everything is shut down right now. in fact when you go to the metrolink site, they tweeted out they're not sure what to do at this point. they're asking bus companies to help commuters and others affected to get into work. bill, a very serious situation into southern california. we covered these of southern california also several years. including one on this same line a few miles in the san fernando valley in chatsworth that was very deadly. one in the inland empire was

deadly. our thoughts and prayers of those affected this morning. emergency crews are on scene and really people still being treated some hour and 15 minutes later, bill. bill: an hour and 15 minutes later, treated would be released or taken to the hospital. one has to imagine, adam. >> reporter: serious ones that's for sure. bill: perhaps that is the reason why you see ambulances sitting idle at the scene there. history in southern california with commuter trains. we reported on this in the past how are they doing with their safety record, adam? >> reporter: that is a good question. there are incidents with cars. you hear about it all the time. sometimes people take their life by stepping in front of a train. i have covered, this is the third major crash i covered in last 10 11 years, maybe 12. there was one in chatsworth, a friend was on first car only survivor. somebody was texting. we covered that pretty consistently the conductor was texting at the time. we had safety issue in the

inland empire a collision killed a number of people out there. same idea, different line. and in this situation, bill the metrolink, a lot of people become more and more comfortable using it here. southern california is the car culture but this train system has become more and more popular as people move further away from downtown into areas like ventura county. it is beautiful. very beach-like, southern california but less crazy than the l.a. metro area. people jump onon the train can be downtown in an hour or some so this train was filled at this time of the morning. as you can see, when you have a multicasualty incident and at least nine ambulances, there are a lot of people unfortunately hurt this morning bill. bill: we expect to get more from the fire department in venture a county. stand business, adam housley when there is more we'll come back to you. we're in touch with our station in los angeles, and we hope to get a reporter on the scene as well. when that happens we'll take you back there live in southern

california. 7:06 a.m. >> back now to the ravages of isis as 70 christians are now said to be in their hands, kidnapped in pre-dawn raid of their homes. militants sweeping through a string of small villages in the area you see on this map in northern syria. in according to what we are learning, they captured at least 100 people. men, women and children. repeatedly targeted these religious minorities throughout iraq and syria. activists on the ground say 3,000 syrian christians managed to escape latest attack, taking refuge at least for now in nearby villages. national security correspondent jennifer griffin joins us live from the pentagon. jennifer, what do we know about the fate of these christians? >> reporter: martha, these are indigenous christian people known as the assyrians who trace their roots to the ancient mesopotamians. 90 to 100 christians were

kidnapped by isis fighters. head of syrian party in iraq pleaded for outside help to end the scourge by isis. it began before dawn monday in a town on the banks of kabir river in the haseq province in northern syria. this is where jordan carried out punishing airstrikes against isis after their pilot was burned alive. the concern these dozens of christian hostages, many women and children will meet the same fate as the egyptian coptic christians martha. martha: thank you very much. what a story. christians in iraq are equally dangerous positions. an american veteran training christian fighters to defend themselves from isis telling greta van susteren the situation is much worse than people realize. >> future christianity in iraq is uncertain. they say it is possi extinction from iraq, really if they can't demonstrate they can provide their own security, people continue to leave and

iraq's rich christian heritage might be lost forever. martha: stunning. jonah goldberg senior editor of "national review" and fox news contributor. jonah, good morning to you. >> good morning martha. martha: this is nothing new what is going on with christians being persecuted, killed, beheaded. children being attacked in iraq. churches being raised to the ground. this has been a concerted effort of isis going on four years, correct? >> right. let's be fair. as you were talking with david axelrod earlier isis is at war with lots of muslims and with competing interpretations of muslims as well. they have a special place in their evil little hearts for targeting christians and, i think, you know mr. van dyke is absolutely right. christians are not to be too glib endangered species in the middle east at large, not just because of isis. the middle east is becoming more and more inhospitable for

christians for quite a long time. look at palestinian territories. in many ways following same pattern we saw with the jews in the 19, you know '50s and 1960s after establishment of israel. it is becoming a region only for muslims. not even just muslims but only the right kinds of muslims depending on which muslims you talk to. martha: that is a pretty small group of people who aren't on their list when you look at it in reality you know i just have to wonder we make this comparison sometimes to the nazis and world war ii and you think about what was found later in terms of extermination camps mass graves. when, all you have to do at home folks, google christians iraq bombings, killings. you will find article after article of people screaming to get more attention put on this issue. tough wonder, jonah what we're going to find there when and if isis is ever eradicated?

>> the sad and truly depressing thing you don't have to wonder too hard it is a lot like north korea. we know how evil and terrible things are in north korea. we know how evil and terrible things are in anywhere controlled by isis, even more so, because isis brags about it. they put it on twitter. they send out videos beheading people. at least with the holocaust, and i agree these analogies can get strained but the nazis tried to keep that somewhat secret. isis is wearing it on sleeves and there is less outrage. martha: jonah, thank you very much. good to have you as always. >> great to beer here, thank you. bill: 12 minutes past. breaking news in california. a train has struck a truck. it is being reported as a multicasualty crash as we get first calls from police from the scene. we'll play that for you. martha: a frightening scene on the highway as a car flips over and falls of the edge. what led to that crash. bill: ultimately how do you stop

isis from spreading and gaining more power around the world? we'll ask former cia director-general michael hayden that next. >> martha we have to be engaged. frankly we're paying the price now, facing what we're facing with isis, for being disengaged in iraq and syria, one, two, and three years ago.

across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be

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

may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. martha: the islamic state terrorist group expanding into

new territory at alarming rate. loose network of isis affiliates popping up in about a dozen countries now as you can see on this map. that is beyond their home base which is of course in iraq and syria. general michael hayden is former director of the nsa and the cia. he is now a principle of the chertoff group. general, good to see you. >> good morning, martha it. >> is an alarming rate. you look across lebanon, yemen jordan, all these countries has governor rates. popping up in these countries. how alarming is this. >> this is matter of concern. you look at isis in three concentric circles. the inner circle is what you described as their homeland, iraq and syria. there i think we kind of stablized the situation. we have begun to erode but we have awful lot of work to do there yet. certainly haven't reached a tipping point. now the phenomenon you just mentioned. that is the second concentric circle.

that is the affiliates. that is the franchises popping up and that right now as you indicated is a real growth industry. i don't think isis has tight control over them but they're certainly inspired by isis. they love of the brand and they're trying to imitate the tactics that isis has shown in iraq and syria. the third circle, more amorphous, more dangerous to us though because we're in that third circle along with our western european friends. that's the "charlie hebdo." that is the events in brussels things the self-inspired, self-radicalized, taking a cue from isis. so there is still some growth. martha: it is interesting phrase. you say they love of the brand and that is helping them to sort of pick off some of these former al qaeda operators who are not so excited about that brand anymore. because of the way that evolved. so interesting. i know that you are on the team that is going to be advising presidential candidate if and when he decides to run, certainly looks like he is going

to on foreign policy. so if you were talking to him and i know you have not had those initial meetings yet you say, what would you tell him to do? what would your biggest concerns be about isis? >> well the, the governor gave a speech in chicago last week. he hit an very important theme. i must admit he didn't get into details that wouldn't be appropriate. the theme is american engagement. governor bush represents tradition in the republican party of republican internationalism. that is one very important element here martha. we have to be engaged. frankly, we're paying the price know facing what we're facing with isis for being disengaged in iraq and syria one, two, and three years ago. martha: yeah you know i think the president would say just the opposite. that they have been undergoing bombing campaigns that they have pushed them out of kobani with american help. they would say it is a success story?

>> i would say we have stablized the front. we have corrected the front a little bit about the mosul dam and baji oil refinery in iraq but we certainly haven't begun a rollback of isis gains yet. we're still waiting for the iraqky military i to become something more martha than a shia militia. martha: yeah. >> if it is shia militias are retaking this territory, we're back to square one. we're back to the sunnies in iraq feeling their government is predatory. martha: we know this is basically a sunni-shia battle. the deal that appears to be emerging with iran, would basically put off weaponnization nuclear weaponnization for 10 years from iran, is this a concession to iran? are we trying to sort of put ourselves on the side of iran in the ongoing battle in the middle east? >> i don't know that we're trying to put ourselves on the side of iran but you can make a case martha, i don't know this

to be true but you can make a case we've gone gentle with bashar al-assad in syria because he is an ally of iran. and you can also make the case that we might have gone a bit gentle with vladmir putin in russia because we need russian support for nuclear agreement with iran. so centrality of this nuclear agreement may be affecting other choices in america's foreign policy. martha: certainly appears to be. in terms of advising jeb bush what would you say to him about iran? >> well, i would say you need to be not from florida but from missouri when it comes to a deal with the iranians on their nuclear program. i will be healthily skeptical about a nuclear agreement. i won't reject anything out of hand. i want to look at details, martha, but one thing i know has to be in there, and that is incredibly invasive, snap inspections. anytime, any place, in iran. otherwise we can't verify this

agreement. >> all right. general michael hayden, thank you very much. always good to talk to you, sir. see you next time. >> thank you. bill: very interesting. fox news alert what is happening in southern california. reports at least 30 have been injured after this commuter train struck a truck on the tracks earlier today. back to adam housley also in touch with fox l.a. and the fire department in ventura county, california. an update what is happening there, right after this. s female vo: i actually have a whole lot of unused vacation days, but where am i gonna go? i just don't have the money to travel right now. i usually just go back home to see my parents so i can't exactly go globe-trotting. if i had friends to go with i'd go but i don't want to travel by myself. someday. male vo: there are no more excuses. find the hotel you want, and the flight you want, and we'll find the savings to get you there.

bill: back to this breaking news. the latest from california. at least 30 injured. adam housley with more from the bureau in l.a. adam what is the fire department saying? >> reporter: bill, the fire department is saying a stopped produce truck on the tracks is what the train collided with about hour 1/2 ago, this metro

commuter train heading into los angeles. this area near camarillo is filled with fields of produce. not hard to believe a produce truck would be crossing the track at that time in the morning especially in this area where there is lot of agriculture in this area. the video coming from the helicopter local fox station in los angeles, get wider picture you can see the fields around where this took place. we know for sure four trains are derailed. three are on their sides. i'm getting more information as i'm talking to you from ventura fire. five cars affected. three on their side. the driver of the produce truck fled the scene was later apprehended less than a mile away. so he was fine but his truck obviously caused this brutal accident, north and west of los angeles. 30 injuries. as of right now no fatalities which would be pretty much a minor miracle. they're still checking all the different areas of the train going through it to make sure nobody happens to be there. there are reports of track damage, which would be kind of a

big deal here in southern california, not only for the commute, because thousands of people come in this way to l.a. on these tracks. amtrak uses it. as well as several other trains coming through there, carrying everything from cars to wood. it is very important single track at that part where this metrolink accident took place. big news no fatalities we're told. more than third injured. the driver of the tractor-trailer, produce truck stopped on the tracks, fled the scene. apprehended a mile away. he is said to be completely fine with no injuries whatsoever. bill: got a mile away from the scene after abandoning the truck? >> reporter: yeah. see the fields there, in the upper left happened side of oxnard? this area is very rural area. ventura, camarillo, there are open area. tons of fields strawberries every imaginable fruit is grown out there. you see the area going from large metro area ventura to

camarillo. you go over the hill to san fernando valley the valley people call it to los angeles. what is interesting, same track a few miles away over the hill where the metrolink train collided with another train of the conductor was said to be texting at the time. there were five fatalities. this track had problem last 10 years when two for instance collided. unfortunately this time a produce struck was stopped on the track. seems like everybody injured has been taken away. that is good. now hour 1/2 later. they're still going through the scene t could be some time before the track reopens. bill: good work. thank you, adam housley live in los angeles. we'll get back to you in a moment. thanks adam. >> reporter: all right. >> president obama is set to get the keystone pipeline bill on his desk today but you know he already said that is a guaranteed veto in his book. so what happens next? we'll talk to north dakota senator john hoeven who

cosponsored that bill. bill: also a bombshell in that las vegas road rage murder. turns out it may not have been road rage after all. >> the state has released some of the police reports, some of the video associated with this. and so, what we can say is, that this was not a road rage incident. beyond that, we're not really prepared to comment. of the ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle see how much you could save.

>> we've got new details on the horrific scene of a train crash that crashed into a produce truck. we've heard from adam housley who says it sounds like the truck broke down on the train trucks. driver of the truck ran a mile from the scene before he was taken into custody and they say that five trains derailed. as of right now, they're dealing with injuries and no casualties according to the reports that

adam is getting there. we wish them well as they deal with this really tough morning commute scene in oks -- oxnard california. >> we expect republicans to follow through on their promise with the keystone pipeline. they're sending a bill to the president. the white house saying the president will keep his word and veto it. >> i have been a little perplexed by the processes and the way it's unfolded. i understand that congress passed this bill 10 days ago but yet it will just come to the white house apparently as early as tomorrow. but i would anticipate that as we've been saying for years, the president would veto that legislation and he will. so i would not anticipate a lot of drama orphan fare -- or fanfare around it. >> senator, how are you? good morning to you. a couple of simple and basic questions. make your final pitch.

why is this right for america? >> we're sending the bill up right now even as we speak but look. this is about energy, it's about jobs, it's about economic growth and it's about national security through energy security and that's why the american people overwhelmingly support it. >> well the president says he'll veto it. what does that veto mean senator? >> it's hard to believe as josh said himself now we're perplexed but the president held this project for over six years. congress has approved it with an overwhelming bipartisan majority in both the house and the senate and the american people support it so clearly the president is -- you know, he's responding to special interest groups. >> is this the end of the line for keystone then, senator? >> certainly not. we'll try to override the veto. we have 63 votes in the senate right now. we need to get four more. we're working on that. we can't override the veto then we'll attach it to another bill

that we don't think he'll veto z. so you have -- you're four votes shy in the senate. you're about six to 10 votes shy. it's not veto proof, is it? >> but we're not too far away. we're only four short in the senate. but again, we can also attach it to other legislation that he may not want to veto z. such as? >> it could be another energy bill, an infrastructure bill or even maybe an appropriations measure. >> okay. and when would that happen? >> well we'll see. i expect that he'll veto it very soon here. we'll talk to our colleagues in the house as well as our colleagues on the other side of the aisle about a veto override and then make a decision as we go that direction or in fact attach it to other legislation. >> we'll stand by on that. you know canada did their deal in 2009. that was six years ago. you've been waiting this long

and it looks like you will continue to wait which begs the question as to whether or not this pipeline will ever be built. what do you think of that? >> you know it will because we need the right mix of pipeline rail and road to make energy safely and cost effectively and because we're producing more energy and working with canada we're creating energy security for this country and bringing prices down at the pump. when the president vetoes this legislation, opec wins. it puts them back in the saddle because it hurts our ability to produce more energy here at home and work with canada and that's why the american people support what we're doing. not just this pipeline but building the energy future in this country. >> why are environmentalists against then? >> they're mainly against fossil fuels. they want to transition the new fuels and i'm for all different sources of fuels but we have to compete out there and we have to make the -- allow the new investment in infrastructure and new technologies to help us produce more energy, more cost

effectively, more dependably. that's what we're doing. >> john boehner and mitch mc connell say it's purely political. i don't expect you to disagree with me. >> that's right. that's do what the american people want. they want us to build this infrastructure and produce more energy here at home. >> let's see if the keystone lives another day. thank you. >> thanks bill. >> bomb shell report that claimed destine operations taking place as obama administration seeks a nuclear deal with the group in tehran. here is more on this for us. >> it is a top secret nuclear site now revealed. that's the claim from the iranian opposition group in washington that's now ongoing at the national press club. they're looking at the deputy director of the washington

office of the national council of resistance of iran. that group right now saying that despite tehran insisting it is not developing a nuclear bomb that iran is continuing to work on uranium enrichment and in an underground complex hidden for years from the u.n. nuclear inspectors. resistance group is making this public saying that it's right outside tehran in a heavily protected 62 acre facility. they say the futures are being developed for nuclear weapons. take a look at a photo the group smuggled out of the facility that shows what they claim is more than one foot thick lead line door that shields the center from radiation. the group also says the huge, secret rooms are insulated for round and leaks so they would not be detected by the west. they say this about the iranian regime. today's intelligence makes it clear that it's been continuing to lie for more than a decade

and has deceived the world community. research development with centrifuges have highly secret sites only intended to advance the nuclear weapons project. if the united states is serious about defending the regime it must make the inspection of the site. revelations come as u.s. diplomats and world powers are believed to be edging closer to the nuclear deal with iran by the deadline of the end of the month. they've been meeting in geneva. iran has long denied it is seeking nuclear weapons. fox news has requested a comment from iran's united nations mission which has previously called the ncri a terrorist organization charging that it even fabricated evidence but the ncri has denied that and is credited with first revealing the full extent of the covert nuclear program way back in 2002. >> thank you very much. >> what we are learning from southern california the latest

as to how a train and truck collided today right before dawn. at least 30 injuried. we'll take you there leave. plus this. >> it gives me no joy to have to say this. i think he's disqualified himself to be commander in chief for a couple of reasons. >> is the governor right? is the president unable to handle the threat of isis? a fair and balanced debate up next. you pay your auto insurance premium every month on the dot. you're like the poster child for paying on time. and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? hey insurance companies, news flash. nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. ♪ help northern china reduce its reliance

number 1.3% is what he's getting on average in the polls in the republican primary. >> but brad, he's not alone in that sentiment. you can't argue that. >> i'm not suggesting that he is alone but i'm suggesting that he has motives. he came out of the white house and levelled criticism at the president, said he's unfit to be commander in chief. did he level the same against president obama when we were attacked on 9/11? the record would say he did not. did he have the guts to level that criticism to the president's face? i'm guessing thae didn't do that, erment. >> he said the president talked basically the whole time at everybody and said they didn't have a whole lot of time to respond. that was his answer about that. >> if governor jindal stood up and said you're unable to be chief, he would have blown up. he wouldn't have criticized president bush as being unfit to be commander in chief because we were attacked on september 11.

that would also be absurd. even folks on the left, fair minded people, even the editors of the atlantic put on their cover a piece pointing out that isis is islamic based religious insurgency and it is just perverse thathe united states and everyone down his administration can admit that just as a matter of intellectual hygiene. let's call them what they are. they want to establish medieval religious law. this is a religious movement emanating from islam. that is just basic. >> i mean brad can you argue that the president is winning with the strategy that he is employing? we've seen this group now expanding into 12 countries around the globe and it feels like the president doesn't have a lot of emotion or passion for the importance of this moment in history. >> i think that's always a criticism at the right levels

against the president. he's not angry enough. look. general hayden said earlier what the president has done and what the coalition has done has stabilized the front. i mean this notion that i'll associate myself with david's comment earlier. 99.9% of muslims are not extremists. >> nobody disagrees with that. this idea that the president has to defense everybody that we're not at war with islam i think is a complete non issue. nobody thinks we are at war wiz lamb. but everybody seems to understand with the exception perhaps of the president, that we are at war with radical islam. there's no doubt about it rich. >> you don't have to be angry when you say that. you can say that as the president prefers in a calm demeanor but you can still speak the truth. president bam tip toed around this a little bit himself but did say we were at war with islamic radicalism and we're standing with arab allies in the middle east that was higher. >> nobody does it more than they do. >> so everyone gets this. the only one who doesn't is the

president and his administration. >> i want to get your thoughts. i want to get your thoughts on iran before we ran out of time and i want to play this piece of sound from earlier today. >> you can make a case that we've gone gentle with syria because he's an ally of iran and you can also make a case we've gone a bit gentle with vladmir putin and russia because we need russian support for the nuclear agreement with iran. >> now you've got trips in lithuania getting ready for what they're concerned about, rattling by russia in their country as well. the president doesn't spend a whole lot of time even talking about that situation, brad. >> well look. first of all, i disagree with general hayden about us going gentle but i'll say this. i think what his comments reflect is how complex these foreign policy situations are. look. republicans and conservatives want to criticize the president

buzz they think things are black and white. of course we need russian support in containing iran's nuclear ambitions. and of course, that is going to have some impact in the way we deal with vladmir putin. it should. it's not a black and white question of these foreign policy issues. >> when you're a sovereign country and getting invaded by another country for no legitimate reason and it's taking your territory from you, that is black and white. and again, this is an issue not just conservatives. it's the center left. you have the most respected policies on the left in this country a week or two ago saying it's no brainer that we should be arming the ukrainians so they can try to resist this threat themselves and again -- >> but you were suggesting we react to what's going on there without concerning ourselves with how it impacts the iran nuclear program. >> you're saying we should let russia run over ukraine to get

an appeasement deal with the iranians? >> of course not but the president has to take all of these. >> that's why -- >> you know what? i think this discussion is at the heart of the matter in almost everything we just talked about from iran to syria to russia and into the isis question as well in many ways. thank you very much. >> thanks. >> some bizarre new twists in a deadly road rage case that left a mother of four dead. attorneys say their client is innocent and may have been the intended target after all.

injured. two of them listed in critical condition at the moment. some of these images from fox l.a. are helping us get an idea about what's happening there on the ground. adam is there as well and he's live in l.a. and what more do you have? >> we're told by ventura county of the 30 injured we've been told two are critical. at least 20 of the 30 are in critical condition. two hours now since the accident. you can see everything is shut down in both directions. we're told that the tracks are owned by union pacific. they're on scene because those tracks are shared with the commuter train as well as union pacific as well as amtrak so as you might imagine, train service from the north into los angeles right now is basically shut down. if you're coming along the coast, you can see they're going through each carriage the firefighters are trying to get any more information, any more potential evidence at the same time keeping an eye on the fact that they haven't missed anybody. they go through that. they go through very tediously. we're told that the person who

was driving the tractor trailer stopped on the tracks for whatever reason. once the train hit that truck, the driver fled the scene, was found about a mile away and has been taken into custody. one thing to note too, bill you notice the train is on the side. we've covered a number of crashes in southern california the last 10 years and when we have a major accident with the train, you'll see a lot of damage to the train itself. in this case, if you notice you don't see anything damage to either end of the train so that suggests the train was not going as fast as it could which is towards #90 miles an hour. investigators will tern all of that. as you look at the train, it may have potentially saved lives, the train may not have been going as fast as it could but you can see the damage to the truck is basically destroyed and in multiple parts along the railroad tracks so bill the scene still shut down here. you imagine the commute from northern parts of ventura county all the way to l.a. is a mess right now but we're told no

fatalities and two in critical condition. >> interesting story about speed. it could have saved lives. we don't know whether or not this truck had broken down or that it was left and the driver made a run for it. >> we don't know. we have driven across that crossing a number of times. you can cut from the 101 over to the p. p.c.h., pacific coast highway that way. those crossings, a lot don't have guards. we have someone there, a local fox reporter i know who has tweeted out there was a rail guard there. we don't know if that's the case or not. we don't know how the truck broke down or if it did break down, if it stopped there purposely or not, if it got caught there. there are a lot of things going into this investigation. what we do know is the truck was on the tracks. train hit the truck at 5:45 local time. that's a very high commute time in southern california especially from this area which is about 60 miles or so north and west of los angeles. a lot of commuters now getting off the highway and taking this train into los angeles. it eventually goes over the

hills into the san fernando valley and on into downtown if you were to go that route. so it's a train that would have been filled this morning, bill right at 5:45 a.m. very similar to new york and other metro areas. this is the way a lot of people get into the city and thankfully, at least at this hour, no fatalities two critical and 28 others injured according to ventura county. >> stay on it and i know you will. adam live in los angeles on that. >> is it a looming crisis for homeland security? as the spending bill goes down in the senate what's being done to prevent a shutdown as lawmakers face a deadline that's now just a couple of days away. major: ok fitness class! here's our new trainer ensure active heart health. crowd: yayyyy! heart: i'm going to focus on the heart. i minimize my sodium and fat... gotta keep it lean and mean. pear: uh-oh. heart: i maximize good stuff like my potassium... and phytosterols, which may help lower cholesterol. major: i'm feeling energized already. new delicious ensure active heart health supports your heart and body, so you stay active and

getting a free box of donuts every month for a year. >> plenty of energy. >> if you're in new york, it's probably out of time but if you're in l.a. maybe you can still be part of the 1,000 customers. >> see you later. >> fox news alert on a terrifying scene in southern california. at least 30 people injured, two of them critically when this commuter train slams into a produce truck early this morning in ventura county north of los angeles. so far there are no fatalities to report at this time. but quite a scene as you're witnessing on your screen. five cars were derailed, three knocked on their side and the track is destroyed. the driver of the truck survived the crash and had fled the scene but he was apprehended about an hour later. so a lot to this story. our reporter is heading to the scene right now. we'll have much more on this developing story throughout the show.
