it. get #get-courteneyto ellen. >> i will be hosting the k love awards with kirk cameron. bill: good morning. a fox news alert. "washington post" reports the man known as jihad john is a british national by the name of mohammed emwazi originally from kuwait city. he came from a wealthy family and graduated college with a degree in computer programming. he headed to syria three years ago to join isis. martha: intensive airstrikes by u.s.-led coalition may have

killed a number of top isis leaders. it's not known in al-baghdadi was among those injured in these strikes but he was reportedly en route to that area. 30 minutes from now there will be a major hearing from capitol hill when james clapper will testify about all of this on capitol hill. bill: three terror suspects claiming they are ready to execute president obama. but the obama administration is saying americans are safer today than ever. martha: i'm martha maccallum. three brooklyn men charged with a conspiracy to bomb coney island in new york city. one of them had plans to shoot and kill the president of the united states.

bill: meanwhile isis continues to kid inch christians and men women and children. >> this is counter intuitive but it's true, our citizens, our world today is actually despite isil despite the visible killing that you see and how horrific they are, we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to americans and people in the world than normally. martha: team fox coverage on this on how the fbi is investigating isis in 50 states now. david, what do we know about these three men? >> reporter: they are all foreign nationals from the

soviet republic. they called brooklyn home. but according to court papers they hated the united states and wait stood for. they range in age from 19-30. one of the men was arrested on the jetway from jfk airport en route to turkey. one of the defendants using an alias posted a message on his us beck website saying i'm in the united states now but don't have any arms. what i'm saying is to shoot obama and not get shot ourselves. about that do? the 24-year-old who posted that message admitted he would harm president obama if given the chance. if the men didn't get the chance

to join up with isis they also had other plans. they wanted to join the u.s. military and spy for isis. if that didn't work, they said they wanted to shoot soldiers. they talked about hijacking a plane to take them to syria. two of the men confessed. all of them face 15 years in prison if convicted. they are being held without bail. martha: what will the defense say in this situation? >> reporter: an attorney for the 19-year-old accused the prosecution everything making what he described as a rush to judgment and suggested better mechanisms are needed to deal with muslim men attracted to extremism. he spoke with reporters outside the courthouse. the attorney criticized law enforcement for using a paid confidential informant to obtain paid information from the man during the investigation.

>> informant are enormously manipulative. these are snippets of conversations. we don't know the context or the full sentence of the conversations. we haven't seen the transcripts. in addition to gathering the forl from the informant investigators monitored the phone calls of one of the informant. one of them said i'm in the land of infidels. i need to sneak out without being noticed by them. bill: new york city isn't the only place facing extreme activity. the fbi is looking into potential terror recruits in all 50 states. >> i have home grown terror investigations in 50 states. alaska has now joined the group. so we have investigations of

people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states. >> isis is a very sophisticated organization. comey's points is they are using social media. they are good at targeting and getting to these folks they want to get to. these impressionable young minds and convincing them of the apocalyptic vision and value of joining this organization. it's the sophistication of isis and their ability through social media to reach these folks causing fear of home grown terrorism and making it a reality. bill: the u.s. government has not taken away passports and some of the european countries have. >> that's right. it was a big debate here last

year and it sort of cooled off. i suspect it will cool off on what steps the government should take. the government has the atability to strip citizenship on a limited case-by-case basis. they say it's not necessarily feasible. and they say it could ruin their tools. when you find somebody, detect them you try to turn them and use them. they say doing that could harm their aability to get inside and fight back that way. bill: peter congress was holding hearings on this issue and a lot of people watches this thought he was wrong. >> the democrats on the committee asked him to cancel this set of hearings and muslim groups accused him of being discriminatory and raising this issue of muslim radicalization.

here we are four years later. he was correct it's unclear if we paid more attention they can where we would be on this right now. it's probably true the islamic state would still can recruiting but we would have had a head start. we understand there is radicalization here. and we understand there is a religion an apocalyptic element to this that radical is lamb is a part of it. so we are having that debate. what steps we take beyond that is a good question. if they need jobs and infrastructure spending, if we need to kill more of them as some hardliners suggested on the right, maybe a combination of both. but at least the conversation started. bill: comey said they need the public. they need the support and help of the public to find this.

martha: a scandal rocks hillary clinton's non-profit foundation and it could have a run for d have an impact on her run for the white house. "the washington post" reports that her foundation accepted millions of dollars in donations from foreign governments while she was secretary of state. martha: at least one donation violated an ethics agreement that they subscribe to. >> you are right on the money. that was disclosed by the foundation. they acknowledge back in 2010 they accepted a half million dollars from the state department and said they should have -- there are questions whether the foreign governments

from giving money to buy influence. there is a reason it can get in a whole lot of trouble. as for their part, the foundation releasing a statement that reads in part, this donation was disclosed on our website but the state department should have been informally informed. this was a one-time donation to help haiti. i don't want to mince words. it's not just about algeria. look at other countries doing outing donations to her foundation. kuwait qatar oman. you can rest assured investigations like this will be ongoing, whether she declares herself a candidate or not. martha: what was going none our

negotiations with these countries at the time they were asking for money. but that will be a big issue. bill: a lot happening including top white house officials making their feeling known about benjamin netanyahu and its address to congress. susan rice says his presence is quote destructive. martha: that's north carolina today. the south is where they are getting slammed with a massive snowstorm. we'll tell you will where it's headed next. bill: trey gowdy says democrats will rue the day they allowed the white house to weaken the laws. >> he can weaken legislation for any reason, he has the the power of pardon, he has a lot of power be but he cannot make law by

himself.

♪ 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. martha: we are awaiting another verdict. this one is the sentencing trial of convicted murderer jodi arias. the jury is entering day two of their deliberation. they have to decide whether she should be sentenced to death or spend the rest of her life in prison. the last jury was deadlocked on all of this. if that happens again the death

penalty will be taken off the table. the jury convicted her of murder in 2013 of the killing of her boyfriend. prosecutors say she attacked him in a jealous rage. areas claimsrage. she claims it was self defense. >> you may benefit from the president's failure to enforce the law today. but there will come a day where you will cry out for the enforcement of the law. there will be a day when you long to have the law be the foundation of this republic. be careful what you do with this law today. if you weaken the law today you weaken it forever. bill: thisw with a shutdown in funding for the department of homeland security just a day

away. i have got a lot to go through in 3 minutes. what did you mean there will come a day when you long for the law. >> i warn people of that not just in the immigration context. the rule of law is the greatest equal liesing unifying force we have. when you play political games with it you may benefit today tomorrow you may beg to have the law enforced. be careful what you do with it today. bill: the president says i'm not including everyone in my order. i'm making families a priority. ies that illegal? >> he doesn't get to set the priorities. that's a gross overuse of prosecutorial discretion. he's not just not supporting folks, he's also conferring benefits. there is no legal theory upon which he has the power to confer benefits congress has not conferred. lots of people agree with his

policy. we just don't agree with the way he has done it. but that's a big distinction. bill: he says if he included everyone that would be wrong. >> someone should ask him why. if you can do 4 million can you do 8 million and if not why not? he's a former con law professor. ask him why 4 million is okay but 4.5 million isn't. bill: last year he said he has quote the legal authority to try to make the system better. a few days before that he said his actions are the same as have been taken by democratic and republican presidents before me making our system more fair and more just. >> republican presidents in my view have exceeded their

constitutional boundaries. that doesn't make it right. it just means both parties are wrong. i wish somebody would stand up to their party and say mr. president, you can't do this. bill: he was encouraging people to gather up their papers and make sure you are ready to go when the legal issues are sorted out. does he win on this legally? >> the only court of record said it was an extra constitutional act. it will go to the circuit. i don't know if he will prevail or not. as the law exists today he can't do what he did. and 22 separate times he said he couldn't do what he just did. so i agree with the 22 times the president said it and the court in texas. bill: does he win or not legally? >> you know it depend on who's on the supreme court by the time that happens. i think right now it would be a

4-4-1 opinion if it made it to the supreme court. bill: that's what he said last night. i have to deal with the judges who weren't appointed by me and have a different reading of the law. is it a case of which court hears it and if those judges feel the same way? is that how our legal system works now? >> you would hope it's not. look at the media reports on any judge, they always like to say what president put them on the bench as if that impacts their judicial philosophy. the reason you give judges lifetime jobs is so they don't have to worry about politics. you don't have to be a court watcher to predict that. the ones in the middle, we don't know. bill: thank you for your time and thank you for your candor.

martha: it remains one of the most high profile unsolved murder of all time. the death of jonbenet ramsey. now a former colorado police chief who investigated the case admits there were some big mistakes. we'll tell you what he says. bill: the annual cpac convention kicking off today. here is ben carson from this past hour. >> there is a role for the commander-in-chief and his staff and that is to define the mission. what is the mission? the mission is recognizing that we have radical islamic terrorist groups in their adolescent stage that wish to destroy us.

bill: government regulators about to put rules on the worldwide web. the new plan bans internet companies for charging for under net fast lines and blocking or slowing to companies who don't pay. the critics are hot under the collar. they say it's a takeover of the internet and it will stifle innovation. martha: thousands of conservative activists gathering for the annual cpac conference that got underway this morning. how much it going carl?

>> reporter: the kickoff speaker aing monks the presidential candidate is dr. ben carson, the neurosurgeon who has been lighting up conservatives across the country. he says he hasn't made up his mind yet. he was on stage and he had a cautionary note for republicans in congress saying before it gets out of or taken away, sake they need to couple with a serious alternative. as all the candidates are doing they will be taking shots at the president or the democrat who would like to succeed him. >> i advocated a system and i hope congress will listen carefully to what i'm about to say. they need to grasp a healthcare alternative before they try to remove obamacare. what am i for? what am i ready for? >> reporter: the cloud ate it up. there will be a real test of

conservativism in the past couple days. it's put on by the american conservative union. for years this has been considered one of the events that kicks off the presidential cycle. most of the people who come here are younger and libertarian than normal conservatives. this is the kickoff. martha: rand paul won the straw poll there. there is a lot of potential candidates in the mix. what about the establishment candidate who hope to woo this crowd today? >> reporter: there are a lot of conservatives who don't want to talk to you. there is a lot of tea party experience here. rand paul is looking to pull off the win a third time. former governor jeb bush is considered to be the

establishment candidate. also a question about how chris christie will fare here. and wisconsin governor scott walker. all three of them have a big task. they want to show their conservativism and electability and win primaries. you will also be able to win independent, swing-type voters. tea party conservatives aren't interested in candidates who have a do. martha: thank you very much. carl. bill: the man featured in the grisly isis videos has been

unmasked. we'll take there live when it starts. martha: john kerry getting aloft attention for controversial statements. he said the world is safer than ever. >> we are not getting the response from the administration. in many ways we are not getting the president and the administration to level with them.

bill: breaking news in the war against terror. one of the war's most infamous terrorists has been identified. a man known as jihad johnny is a british national known as mohammed emwazi. james clapper is on capitol hill. he will testify about isis in a few minutes.

catherine herridge is live in washington to start our coverage on this. what more are we learning? >> reporter: the public identification will allow investigators to more freely explore his contacts in the u.k. jihad john whose real name is mohammed emwazi grew up in west london. he's educated and from a well to do * background. the nation's most seen your intelligence official james clapper will be provide can the worldwide threat assessment and based on prepared testimony he's less optimistic, describing the conditions on the ground as being at a stalemate. >> i think the numbers are up because of the so-called caliphate. that created in some respects a

magnetism for those element that wanton part of this. they want to support this emergence within their own sense of their faith. and so that has created a recruiting opportunity for isil they had not had before. >> reporter: clapper is expected to testify the sunni extremist groups have more momentum and more safe havens than at any noinlt recent history. martha: secretary of state john kerry appeared to down play the isis threat as isis continues to kidnap and execute christians. here is what secretary kerry said yesterday. >> our citizens, our world today, is actually despite isil

despite the visible killing that you see and how horrific they are, we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to americans and people in the world than normally. martha: that got a lot of people shake their head. k.t. macfarland served in the reagan administration and she is a fox news security analyst. what's your reaction? what do you think john kerry was talking about yesterday? >> somebody who is really smart once told me when politicians say something they tell you what they think you want to hear. 15-minute they are telling you something they need you need to hear when it's politicians. they think if they speak no evil. see no evil. hear no evil about the threat of islamic jihad they don't are

some do anything about it and it doesn't exist. and it is gaining ground. it has momentum. it's covering the size of a region greater than the size of great britain. it's recruiting and it's on the rise. i'll listen to the national security officials to make my assessment not politicians. martha: if you are the family of kayla mueller or jim foley and you hear that, it's got to make you feel a bit that the government is not hearing and seeing the reality of what's going on. if there are three massive horrible hurricanes and towns get wiped out and they come out and tell you hurricanes are actually down. it doesn't matter if you are the person affected by it. this mode of talk has been going on for quite some time. this is josh earnest back in

july. >> how does the white house react to the notion that the president is a bystander in these crises. >> there have been a number of occasions where you have seen the white house intervene in a meaningful way that has substantially improved the tranquility of the global community. martha: there is an increase in the tranquil global community out there kt. you have got new tbrawrntion the state department since tuesday. >> you know, the president and the white house and secretary kerry talk about this global community as if somehow leading in the from behind seems the right hinded communities in the world are going come together and the great arc of history will improve evening eventually. the problem is efface an

existential threat from from islamic jihad. i think what the director will tell us today, the people in isis think it's not only their right but their responsibility to kill anyone who doesn't subscribe to their twisted brand of islam. be they christians, jews and eighthists. we'll eventually have to confront it. my hope is we'll somehow bring all the elements of nationality powrlu together to confront it before nuclear weapons are introduced to the region. when people say we are going to put boots on the ground. it's so much bigger. it's all of the different groups who are on the march in more parts of the world in greater strength than ever before. you on defeat this with an

alliance. martha: a comprehensive strategy we seem to be missing. they don't want the groups out there to have it look like we are going drawn in and having us come into their circle physically with boots on the ground is exactly what they want the administration might argue. >> whatever the administration is doing it's not working. the proof is it's not working. islamic jihadists are doing more. we have not figured out how to do it with this enemy whether it's engagement or no engagement. what we have done for 15 years hasn't worked. the threat has grown and my concern is as nuclear weapons are introduced into the region with iran, everybody will think they have their own nuclear weapons and then you have the

most nuclear weapons in the world in the most unstable part of the world. martha: that job description is a big one when you look at the world. kt, thank you very much, we'll see you later. bill: 20 minutes before the hour. five days away from benjamin netanyahu's address before congress. it will be a big day tuesday. the white house says it will be destructive to the u.s.-israeli relationship. martha: madonna, she took a tumble. i feel bad for imagine. she is doing her best out there.

thanks for the ride around norfolk! and i just wanted to say geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there. geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years. 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 jonbenet ramsey case was botched. that according to the investigator. he says the police should have separated ramsey's parents and gotten statements from them that day. chief mark becker in made the communities during an online discussion. to this day no one has been charged with the december 1996 murder of 6-year-old jonbenet. bill: susan rice saying benjamin netanyahu's speech could have grave consequences in the nuclear deal with iran. >> by virtue of the invitation that was extended and the acceptance by netanyahu within two weeks of his election.

on both sides there has been invect sad degree of partisanship. i think it's destructive of the fabric of the relationship:'. bill: monica crowley and doug schoen. destructive with the fabric of the relationship. >> they accuse their opponents of what they are guilty of. susan rice's comments, susan rice who brought you the lies about benghazi and the lies about bowe bergdahl, and now we are supposed to listen to her on this. when they accuse net rrm of causing destruction to that relationship, that's what they have done over the course of 6 years in treating israel in

worst -- in the worst way. the way they have dissed this prime minister. the way they have treated this country and this prime minister in particular has been an absolute disgrace to the detriment of our national security. bill: no meeting with the president or vice president. declined an invitation to meet with democratic senators. what is he going to get from this? >> he's going to get a full-throated hopefully bipartisan if the democrats show up to hear his speech presentation of the threats that an iranian deal which i think monica is right is in the offing, will mean for the united states, for the middle east, and most of all for israel. that's the plan of this. you may not like it. but to do what susan rice did i think is needlessly. it's worse than partisan.

it's hysterical. it creates harsh harsh feeling. what she should have said is look the administration doesn't feel this is useful. we always welcome when a prime minister, one of our strongest most democratic allies wants to speak. we regret the timing but we'll work after the speech and after the election whoever wins in israel to strengthen our partnership. bill: they are also questioning benjamin netanyahu's judgment when john kerry said this. >> the prime minister as you recall was profoundly forward leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading iraq under george w. bush, and we all know what happened with that decision. he may have a judgment that may not be correct here.

bill: john kerry supported that war, by the way. >> he was for it before he was against it. >> this administration wants a deal with iran at any cost. they will go with a bad deal. a bad deal is worse than no deal. benjamin netanyahu considers himself the winston churchill of his time warning of iran. iran with a nuclear weapon. we are also worried about isis and the muslim brotherhood. their objective is the global domination of is lamb. it directly threatens his state. he's dealing with an existential crisis and he has his number one enemy the united states of america going down this road. bill: doug, you are saying

netanyahu has a message the word needs to hear. >> but to use to it try to rip israel and the united states further apart is very, very destructive. let me offer one bit of context. the president of the united states will not receive the democratically elected prime minister of israel, our longest standing stable democratic ally. he did not go to france after the horrific terrorist attack on the magazine and the kosher grocery. he did go to the funeral of the king of saudi arabia king abdullah who preaches and support an ideology that is close to the one isis itself advocated. saudi arabia is our ally, i get that but this is very, very discourage together friends of

democracy. martha: some may have left the lights on, but way in outer space scientists say there is a lot going on on the dwarf planet. bill: 7 inches of snow in alabama. we'll take you will below the mason-dixon line. >> yesterday within a few hours the salt sold out. >> we have a long driveway and it goes down hill. i'm getting tired of shoveling it. i want to take the easy way out.

martha: brutal killer known as "jihadi john" now identified. the washington post revealed this man was born in kuwait raised in london in a well to do

neighborhood and traveled to syria a few years ago. welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. we have seen him hiding behind a black mask. his name now mohammed emwazi. grew up in london. on radar of british officials, has been for years. amy kellogg live in london. amy, what more do we know about this man? >> reporter: hi, bill. scotland yard will not confirm the name mohammed emwazi. they say lives are at risk. they ask the press not to go with his name. it is widely believed that security services on the both sides of the pond have known "jihadi john"'s identity for some time. "jihadi john" the nickname given to the man we've seen in isis videos and a couple of other british act ended men in syria looking after hostages. they were nicknamed after the beatles because they had those british accents.

jihadi's john is the face and voice we've seen in all the beheading videos of american hostage james foley and others and british hostage. according to "the washington post" who interviewed friends and people who knew mohammed emwazi, he is 27 years old. born in kuwait to a well-to-do family and moved to london as a boy. he lived in this neighborhood not far from the more well-known nodding hill neighborhood but more upscale. he studded at westminster university and got a degree in computer science. i is described as disconcerting doing with murders he is mild-mannered and smart. bill: why this terrorist group, amy. >> reporter: according to human rights group who believe mohammed emwads sy is "jihadi john" all they say they can't be 100% sure because he has been masked in the videos but they say there was very long history,

bill, of harrassment by security services here in london specifically mi5 which tried to recruit him on several occasions. from the t e that emwazi graduated in 2009 with that computer science degree to 2012 when he somehow managed to slip off to syria, they had stopped him from traveling. they had picked him up supposedly going on a safari in tanzania convinced he was going to join al-shabaab. this is emwazi's side of the story told to an advocacy group but many questions remain. bill: amy kellogg leading our coverage from london. here is martha. martha: director of intelligence james clapper is testifying before the senate intelligence committee. there is the head of the committee, john mccain questioning him. we have an ear to that to see if there is exchange we want to bring to you. seemingly contradicting what other members about obama administration have been saying this week. here is james clapper moments

ago. >> when the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years such data has been compiled. about half of all attacks as well asfa tallets in 2014 occurred in just three countries, iraq, pakistan and afghanistan. i'm drawing this data isil conducted more attacks than any other terrorist group in the first nine months of 2014. >> i guess john kerry did not get that message. bret baier joins us the anchor of "special report." bret good to have you here. very different messages we get from the administration. >> it is starkly different. there ask so much reaction to what secretary kerry said yesterday on the hill that americans are under less daily threat than ever before in the last century. there you see the director of national intelligence, kind of laying it on the line. i talked with the former head of the defense intelligence agency

today, retired lt. general michael flynn about kerry's comments. he said secretary kerry quote is out of touch with reality. he is clearly not listening to the entire u.s. intelligence community. he is not reading any of the intelligence or other things that have been written over the last few weeks, months, years. talk about being out of touch continuing for him to make those statements is totally irresponsible and he should be challenged by anyone who cares about the future of this country. that is the former head of the defense intelligence agency of this administration. you know martha, today -- martha: stunning, that is a stunning statement. lines up with what he has said in the past but goes even further, bret. >> it does. and you hear clapper there. you know today is the 20 second anniversary of the bombing of world trade center in 1993, in the north tower, that truck bomb went off. it didn't have desired effect of taking down the tower.

terrorists obviously eight years later would accomplish that on 9/11. 22 years later everybody we talk to in the intelligence community and around it, that the "threat matrix" is more dangerous, exponentially more deadly and skilled than 22 years ago today. martha: which raises a question why, bret? what is the motivation? because if indeed, you know we all saw that this early bombing led to the later bombing. that these people have a lot of patience. they made it very clear what the motive is and goals they want to carry out. if god forbid something happens here, the president and john kerry will have sound bites that they will rue they ever said. >> i agree. it is really, makes you scratch your head. i mean obviously perspective is key. they want to make sure people don't get worked up too much but, there is stuff to be worked up over. listen to the head of the director of national intelligence and the head of

the, former head of the dia the president telling vox.com he agrees that the media hypes the terrorist threat. if it bleeds it leads he said. if something happens, you're right, history will not look kindly at those comments. >> people will ask over and over why the need to downplay? why was it necessary? what is the goal in all of that. lots to think about with all of this. bret, thank you very much. great information from the former dia we thank you for that. we'll see you tonight. >> thanks martha. bill: breaking news here. there is new video said to be showing isis terrorists destroying ancient artifacts said to be in iraq's northern city of mosul shown right here. conor powell live inn our middle east bureau. conor, what can can you tell us about what we're seeing? >> reporter: bill, isis continues march and push to remove and eradicate to remove syria's cultural rich history.

this five minute video released by isis shows bearded men with hammers and chisels, destroying ancient artifacts going back to the 7th and 8th centuries. these are old parts of syria and iraq history. we've seen this in syria. this taking place in the video in the city of mosul which is sort of capital of the islamic state right now. it's a spot where we expect to see some type of iraqi military offensive in the coming weeks. but isis is out to try to remove any type of history that doesn't fit with their very limited and narrow view of islamic history. and wee seeing this type of destruction, bill across both countries, possibly even in some other countries as well, bill. bill: what is the latest on kidnapped christians in syria? what do we know about that conor? >> reporter: the number seems to be increasings. what we were hearing at the beginning of week there were 100 or so a syrian christians taken by isis. that numb per is over 200

according to human rights groups. it i concrete number because of the fighting. we know fighting picked up in northeast syria with peshmerga and isis. bill back to you. bill: just another sad day. conor, thank you, conor powell in jerusalem there. martha: busy day in washington. big hearing on obamacare getting underway on capitol hill. health and human services secretary sylvia burwell is on the hot seat. tough questions coming here way and the recent obamacare tax form mistake, big number of people that were led astray by that that will be a top priority. doug mckelway joins us live in washington. so doug what else do we expect in there today? >> another really big issue martha, what sort of contingency plans does the administration if the supreme court rules against the government in king versus burrwell? they will hear the arguments next week. that is the million dollar question that hhs secretary

sylvia burwell will face as she testifies before a house energy and commerce subcommittee n prepared remarks scheduled for delivery about now, she makes no mention of any plan b whatsoever should the supreme court rules in june that exchanges provided by federal government are not valid. only 16 states set up their own exchanges. in op-ed nebraska republican senator ben sass said the implications. health and human services secretary sylvia burwell claimed last month that the administration has no plan to help the seven million citizens following a ruling. translation, chemotherapy turned off for 12,000 people. dialysis going dark for 10,000. that is really just scratching the surface of it. senator orrin hatch republican from utah wrote, quoting here, by admitting they have no contingency plan for millions that may lose subsidies the administration confirms how misguided the law is and

unworkable for the american people. i'm committed to working with my republican colleagues how congress can respond to help those hurt by obamacare's broken promises including those in a post-king v. burrwell world. martha, there are rumors circulating that senior hhs officials have a secret plan b should the supreme court rule against obamacare. burwell will undoubtedly asked about the rumors in this plan b document as testimony gets underway again right about now. martha, back to you. martha: interesting, thank you doug. bill: there is new trouble for the obamacare architect jonathan gruber. remember this? >> for people who health insurance plans they will no longer get a 40% tax break. 40% tax on the insurance companies that sell these terrible expensive cadillac plans? we said well that is pretty much the same thing. why does it matter? you'll see and proposing that tax. americans are too stupid to understand the difference. bill: he just got fired. we'll tell you why, and from where. >> new reaction to the guilty

verdict in the "american sniper" murder trial. we'll talk to a friend of chris kyle's former navy seal, marcus luttrell, whose story was made into the movie, lone survivor. why the killer's defense never held water. bill: will our strategy against isis today work in the end? why some are saying we are paying the price for the president's mistakes. >> we respect the religion and we respect the people but we don't respect radical islam when you don't even recognize it for, identify it for what it is, how in the world are you going to be able to combat it? 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.

>> lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. basically call it stupidity of the american voter or whatever basically that was really critical to get this thing to pass. bill: that is nice. jonathan gruber's comments come back to haunt him. fired from the massachusetts health exchange board. they asked him, a mit professor along with three other members of that board. state's insurance exchange had many of the same problems as federal marketplace. governor baker said he want ad new team. martha: the obama administration strategy for defeating isis is at the center of several hearings on capitol hill this morning. you're looking live at the house armed services committee where

our own general jack keane will be testifying about president obama's request for new war powers. there is the general before things get underway. senator john mccain says the obama administration is failing to lead in his opinion. strong words from him. >> people who served with distinction in this country for many years republican and democrat administrations, all of them have said, they have never seen the world in more turmoil and these things don't happen by accident. it is not like hurricanes or earthquakes. it is a matter of a failed, feckless foreign policy that began in 2009, and chickens are coming home to roost. >> joined by illinois republican congressman adam kin singers. he is a veteran and member of the international guard. congressman, good to have you back on the program. >> hey, martha. thanks for having me. martha: is that your experience as well? senator john mccain when he talked to people of experience both democrats and republicans,

they are both extremely concerned about the policy unraveling led to this situation? do you find that as well? >> oh yeah, absolutely. it pains me to say it, this isn't something i celebrate to attack the president on because this is america's reputation. feels like the last six years we've blown the last 60 years of american credibility. you know obviously we have the explosion of isis. now we find out they're in libya and many places. they're in my district frankly, in rockford illinois, we found out. look what is going on ukraine. russia has torn apart one of the largest countries in europe and this administration stood back denied given defensive weapons to the ukrainians to defend their own homeland. brutality of bashar al-assad in syria, killed 200,000 people mostly women and children and president said they would train the opposition but failed to do so. enemies don't fear us and our allies are very confused where we stand. so it is a bad position to be

in. martha: the message the administration wants to put out there is quite clear. john kerry stated himself yesterday. when you really look at picture globally and historically, the world is a safer place than it has been in a long time. i guess the big question, is why? why is that the headline that they want out there right now? >> because look i think the reason they want that headline out there is because that defeats the message that this has been a failed president on foreign policy if you can say look, the world is richer than it has ever been, basically true right? a lot of folks in africa pulled out of poverty by democracy and capitalism. but you have the spread of jihaddism in africa. it is definitely not safer than it has been. by saying that they're able to counter the narrative, that you know, with the spread of isis tearing apart of ukraine with question of nato's stance against russia and all these other things, this is a failed president in foreign policy he doesn't like that. historically, the president will be judged as one of the most

failed foreign policy presidents this country has had. i don't cheer that. i hope this turns around on a dime. i would love to see the president restore american leadership around the globe. i will be the first person cheering him on to do it but i haven't seen the indication of that. martha: we know what the president requested in congress would not include any ground troops. you were in iraq fought in afghanistan i believe. you can correct me if i'm wrong on that. >> yes. martha: spoke with a former navy seal who fought in anbar province recently. he said, we know how to do this. >> right. martha: looking at situation on the ground we can absolutely defeat these guys. do you agree? >> oh, absolutely. i mean i introduced an alternate authorization use of military force that pull as three-year restriction out. also restriction on ground troops, because, look, american forces are really good at killing enemy if called upon to do that. this idea the exist continues of isis is terrible unless it takes american ground troops, in which case the existence of american

ground troops is worse is ludicrous. the military is good what they do. we would destroy isis in a second if unleashed. the president has to step up. he has to bring allies together. he has to embed american special operators in with front line iraqi and peshmerga units and has to directly arm the kurds. that is one thing you have to do. this can be handled but he is limiting himself. martha: really quickly. we're on our fourth head of the defense department right now. do you think ash carter will have easier time running the pentagon and dealing with the president's strategy than the others? >> he is smart guy but at the end of the day the president and valerie jarrett seems to run foreign policy. they will outpower him if he is hawkish. martha: adam kinzinger. thank you very much. bill: white house has seems mixed up. director of national intelligence moments ago telling a senate panel never seen the dangerous times in our country about but the secretary state of

state. we will sort that out. martha: both navy seals wrote books about their harrowing encounters in iraq and afghanistan. marcus luttrell reacts to the verdict in the "american sniper" trial. why he says the ptsd defense of murder of his good friend chris kyle is out of place. >> ptsd is not straight line to breaking the law, because if it is, you basically, you're saying if i have ptsd i can slap somebody around all i want and cops show up claim i'm a veteran i have ptsd. that is not how that works.

bill: strong new reaction on the guilty verdict in the "american sniper" murder trial. eddie routh convicted of murdering chris kyle despite his

attorney's insanity defense. kyle's brother talks about why routh's claim about ptsd did not hold up in court. >> so many things left up to that. so many times, he had done crazy things. and, instead of take him to jail, they would put him in the hospital. and the va would find that there was nothing wrong with him because he was on drugs and send him back out. bill: chris kyle and his friend chad little filed were killed in a texas gun range two years ago this month. former navy seal marcus luttrell with me by telephone. thank you for having you on here. >> thanks for having me. bill: you were in the courtroom. why did that defense not hold up? >> i think jeff explained that very well. his actions on a daily basis go out, get drunk get high, do asking dumb. as soon as police officers show up, say i'm a veteran got ptsd. take him to mental institution,

couple days out he goes right back to it. people suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder have that all the time and don't cop to it to get themselves out of trouble. bill: that is interesting. what is that condition? how would you identify it? how would you describe it? >> that there is multiple families, i don't think we have enough time to get into all of that but the, different aspects of, first of all you have to some some kind of traumatic experience. he didn't have one of those overseas. everything that comes after that, you couple that together truly affects a love these guys, men and women that come back. it wasn't the case with him. became very clear throughout the whole trial. i mean every time, even his doctors would i sachs every time he would tell me something, it was a lie. so how do you diagnose somebody off of a lie? can't do that. and like i said that became very clear not only everybody sitting in the courtroom but jury itself. their division was swift.

bill: how do you feel now that this trial is over? and i think about chad littlefield's mom at the steps of the courthouse a day 1/2 ago. she was really waiting for this day to come. i mean as a friend, how do you feel now? how do you want america to remember chad and chris? >> absolutely. i thought that was really important that she got up there and said that you could feel the weight lifted off their shoulders when that verdict came down. i don't want to say vindicated or justified bottom line she doesn't have her son. he is still dead. chris is still dead. but important to remember what they did and what they were doing when they did get murdered. they were out there trying to help him. trying to give back. chad never served. chris did. this was chris way to stay connected to the community and help himself and veterans. chad was a proud american. although he didn't serve innings he was trying to help those guys out and it cost him his life. bill: thank you, marcus.

martha: there are some very mixed messages coming out of the obama administration on how safe we really are. secretary of state john kerry says the daily threat to americans is historically low. but a short time ago the

country's top intelligence official, james clapper told a senate committee that global terrorism is at its peak. >> we're actually living in a period less daily threats to americans and people in the world than normally -- >> in my 50 plus years in the intelligence business i don't know of a time that has been more beset by challenges and crises around the world. i worry a lot about the safety and security of this country for a lot of reasons. >> hard to believe the same administration, those go voices speaks extremely publicly today and intentionally. white house correspondent ed henry joins us where it is snowy on the north lawn. makes your head spin ed, listening to those two statements. what is going on? >> reporter: martha, you could not find two quotes more diametrically opposed. you would think those two quotes happen ad year apart. boy the world has really changed. no the john kerry the

secretary of state said that 24 hours ago. the world has not changed. he made that statement also just moments before we saw the president's own justice department, again not his critics, his own justice department saying three men had been arrested in brooklyn because they were plotting to work with isis and if they couldn't join forces with isis and were blocked by the new york city police, they were going to try to get machines guns to kill police officers and fbi agents. oh, by the way if isis ordered them to they were trying to kill the president of the united states. this is insane. for the secretary of state to testify under oath americans are never safety but another appointee by the president to say under oath the opposite is pretty fascinating. martha: i imagine your question for josh ernest? >> there was a clip played last summer where he said the world was pretty tranquil. that might be a good question. martha: that ace good question.

we look forward to that as we always do, ed. this is another statement that comes from the former head of the dia. mike flynn. who spoke this morning with bret baier. this is stunning. he says, secretary kerry is out of touch with reality. he clearly is not listening to the entire u.s. intelligence community. he is knot reading any of the intelligence or other things that they have written over the last few weeks months, years. and he goes on to say talk about being out of touch, for him to make those statements is totally irresponsible and should be challenged by anyone who cares about the future of this country. mike flynn, as we know now is not going away. he is upset about this line from the administration. >> sure. he is right. that the narrative from the administration needs to be challenged. and as you mentioned, there is a briefing coming up. that will happen there and perhaps other places in the days ahead. what would say in secretary kerry's defense elsewhere in his testimony yesterday, in fact

in the same paragraph we referred to he talked about the beheadings. i don't think it is necessarily fair for general flynn to say he is completely out of touch with reality. he noted beheadings are going on, there is real terror threats but secretary kerry's bottom line was we're pretty safe right now and that doesn't seem to be true. >> overall the message seems to be it is out of perspective. that it is out of whack the amount of fear that is out there. they have talked about the media hyping things. >> he said that. if it bleeds it leads. exactly. martha: we look forward to seeing you in the press room at noon. >> reporter: good to see you thanks. bill: we're also learning isis may have taken hundreds of christians hostage in syria, a story ongoing throughout the week. their fate is not known. as syrian chris lead remembers pleading for inch with a free conscience to listen to them now. how will history judge the world's response. we have president of american

forum for democracy. author of book, battle for soul of islam and former navy lieutenant commander. good morning to you, doctor, live there in washington d.c. >> good morning. >> what happens to these christians? how does the world respond? how many are there today taken hostage? >> this week there have been hundreds of families displaced and moved by isis and taken hostage. we pray for their souls, they are martyrs in a genocide, a cleansing this jihadist movement that wants to establish a caliphate, just like the cops beheaded in the savage video. if you look at the magazine that isis names itself dabic, that is the town they see in islamic end of times that fought against christians and created land of islam ushering in the end of times. are we ignoring it, like ignoring the "mein kampf" of

nazis. they have been identifying what they're doing last year. 125,000 christians displaced in the last year alone. armenians, yazidis, call deannes, the kurds and dizzy didn't sunnis like my families in syria and others are victims of this cancer that is spreading in every town. we're addressing it, bill like a whac-a-mole with no strategy and the genocide and atrocities are going to continue. bill: in northeastern syria, you're describing here, 10 different villages. they inhabbed that -- inhabited that area for decades if not prior to that. there were atrocities in the same area that force ad lot of christians on the run then but why this part of syria? why is it so significant for isis there? >> well, because that northern part dabik what they see as the gateway to christian dom, they want to defeat and want to cleanse it as you saw with the

destruction of statues and others. they want to cleanse it, assyrians were there long before islam existed. the name asyria, signs of christian community that was there in its history. they want to cleanse it to accentuate the domination of the land of islam over the land of christianity. what they see as land of war. they're trying to do basically this genocidal cleansing not only people, but the churches and structures that identify as non-muslim earnings on that point, this is video that came into us about an hour ago from the town of mosul. it is obviously an act tick quits area museum of some sort where sledgehammers are destroying whatever history is left there, john. >> if there is any hope, bill, you can't have a free a moderate syria or middle east without diversity. as the minorities get cleansed so too will any hope of being able to have peace. so the threat to the world will

increase as syria becomes more homogenous. as if diversity maintain so too will the chance of pluralism. the hope of any future global stability is being lost with these horrific atrocities against minorities like the assyrians and yazidis and other christian minorities. bill: what is the ultimate fate? it is an impossible question to answer. will they be held for trade, for others who stages? could they be used as human shields or ultimately doomed or are they killed? >> all of the above. we've seen them killed. we've seen them used for ransom for basically the business of isis to try to get millions which they have succeeded in doing. and also enslavement. there are women and children are raped and enslaved as human workers and others that just, every atrocity under the possibility is used to abuse and torture these minorities as

basically human slaves for their goals. bill: 10 different villages thousands on the run. 220 kept captive today. doctor, thank you. >> thank you, bill. bill: we pray for their fate. in washington,. >> thanks. martha: 2016 potential trail, senator rand paul taking some jabs at former florida governor jeb bush. >> i think it shows some hypocrisy that will be difficult for young people to understand why we would put a 65-year-old guy in jail for medical marijuana. >> both have signaled interest in a white house run. the two face off today, trying to win over that crowd at cpac. bill: also madonna material girl wardrobe malfunction that sends her flying off the stage. have you seen the video? rough landing. ♪

my interview him calling jeb bush a hypocrite over his stance on marijuana. watch this. >> the fact jeb admits when he was in elite prep school where wealthy kids went to school, he smoked pot and still willing to put somebody in jail for medical marijuana in florida. many poor people go to jail for drug offenses. when he was a kid, went to elite school used marijuana didn't get caught, didn't go to prison. that is hypocrisy will be something difficult to understand why we put a 65-year-old man in jail for medical marijuana. martha: interesting comments. chuck rocha, president of solidarity strategies. lars larsen a syndicated radio talk show host. good to have you both of you here. pretty inflammatory comments from rand paul. he could have said wealthy elite probably five times over the course of those two sentences and pot. he is definitely aiming at this young crowd at cpac that will

heat that up, right chuck? >> exactly. this is a smart political move on his behalf. you have all these people eventually ought in the open running for president. you have to distinguish yourself amongst all these folks. so this is smart for him and smart long term when you start thinking about if he was to win the nomination, talking about decriminalization. talking about the rich boy. talking about bush and trying like, well he is very hypocritical because a little bit of marijuana in your pocket doesn't mean you're forever going to be felon or forever be a bad person. i think it is smart politically doing this now. martha: lars, what do you think? >> well a couple of things. first of all governor bush will have to come up with a better answer because it does appear hypocritical. on the part of senator paul though, i have to suggest it's a little hypocritical to talk about medical marijuana because we all know that is just a dodge. so that the people who want to recreate on marijuana can go out and claim to get it for medicinal purposes. it is old game at this point. frankly how much is marijuana

going to matter in a country that six years ago elected the president of the chun gang to be the president of the united states and didn't make much of a big deal about president obama's high school experimentation with marijuana for medical purposes or other purposes? i think there is hypocrisy to go around here. martha: well, there could be. i just think when you look at the situation the world is in, this is going to be a very small issue, when it comes to the what people are looking for in terms of leadership. i mean the job description for the presidency in 2016, is going to be a very, very tall order. it will require somebody who knows what they're doing out there on the global stage. that brings me to our next topic, which goes back to something that, you know, i think there was a lot of good reason probably to put to rest, but this particular poll, kind of caught our eye this morning especially it came from the "huffington post" and ugov. it said that 35% of the people surveyed they believe president obama doesn't love their

country, which i find really shocking, chuck. i mean that is i just, you know having seen several presidencies at this point in my life people criticize, but 35% say they don't think he loves the country? >> 30 to 40% of americans believe in aliens as well. what you're seeing very partisan breakdown. republicans think don't love it and democrats think he does. somebody loved him last eight years, he got elected to office twice. martha: good point. >> i had a lot of disagreement with president bush. i disagreed of thousands of young men losing their lives overseas but i never called into his question love for america. i think some things are totally off base. martha: lars, what do you think? >> i don't think it is off base as all. you're an american family. average wages are down thousands of dollars since the recovery under obama we began. do you think the president loves this country?

he done dozens things to think he does not. supported spying on americans. irs going after americans free speech. not defended us overseas. downsized military. diminished america diplomatically, economically and militarily around the globe. do you think those are actions of somebody that loves their country? i think there is a lot of evidence for americans to believe that partisan or not. martha: i don't know, i think it goes to a lot of unease in this country and nervousness and concern where we're headed overall perhaps. gentlemen, thank you very much. chuck, good to see you. lars. bye-bye. bill: jenna lee coming up next on "happening now." good morning. >> good morning bill. huge scandal facing hillary clinton. foundation that maintains her name admits giving donations from foreign governments while secretary of state. cot fallout affect potential bid for the white house, potential bid. a man stands accused plotting terror attacks here and abroad. shocking new evidence seized

and big in-rush of water you experienced was very realistic. >> reporter: only way to get better at underwater escapes is practice doing it, bill. >> true on that point. there have been dozens of crashes too where people survived, believe it or not, rick. >> reporter: county less crashes at sea where some people survived and some didn't including crash of a u.s. marine transport helicopter at point loma california in 1999. 18 on board only 11 survivors. survival systems usa hopes to help people combat disorientation vertigo and fear and help calm you to find a way out. they dunged me aboutddunked me self times. sometimes with rain and wind machines in a four point military-style harness. wait for the aircraft to set tell unbuckle the harness and make your way out while holding your breath. >> toughest part is when you're
