>> we'll be back in an hour. jenna: "outnumbered" starts right now. andrea: this is fox news alert. new chilling details behind the couple in the chilling shooting rampage in san bernardino. investigators believe that the wife pledged allegiance to isis online. and the couple had a ability to launch more attacks. they also believe tashfeen mall look may have radicalized her husband before they turned an office christmas party into a massacre. i'm andrea tantaros. here with us today, host of "kennedy" on fox fox business network, kennedy. host of "after the bell," melissa francis.

editor of townhall.com, katie pavlich is back and "weekly standard" senior writer steve hayes is here. welcome to all of you. stunning details coming to light a short time ago. federal investigators believe that tashfeen malik swore allegiance to isis on facebook. as investigators say there is also a quote, very serious possibility that she may have served her husband's terror trainer and that they were being planning or i should say planning a second attack after opening fire on syed farook's office christmas party that killed 14 people and wounded 21 others. trace gallagher live in san bernardino with more. trace? reporter: the big headline, andrea, we know that fox news confirmed that tashfeen malik went on facebook using alias, and pledged her allegiance to abu bakr, the head of isis. also sometime before the attack

she tried to go back on facebook to delete that post. clearly the feds were able to recover it. they say there is no evidence that isis directed these attacks but certainly isis inspired the attacks. keep in mind that isis told all of its followers to attack their homeland, which is definition of directing people to attack. so that's where we have the problem with the definition here. what police are seeing overall is this drills tushing trend that clearly -- disturbing trend, terrorism is part of all this. the killers went online and viewed isis propaganda. we know they met with people both in this country and outside of this country who are being investigated by the fb it for terrorism and we also know the wife as you said, andrea, they're looking at her the one who radicalized syed farook and may have been the trainer. they think she is possibly the one who had bomb-making knowledge.

remember dozens of pipe bombs inside the house. they tried very hard to erase their electronic footprint. talking about smashing cell phones. smashing hard drives. using burner phones to make it much more difficult to detect. we can also report that the fbi pulled out of that house enough electronic data and devices to send to the fbi lab in quantico to try to see if they can recover as much as possible because they believe somewhere in those hard drives of those computers is information about how involved various terror organizations might have been in this plan. we talk about radicalizing the husband. we also learned that syed farook was also getting more religious over past year. he was attending mosque twice a day. he started growing his beard out fuller and memorized the koran. there was heated debate between

farook and coworker over islam. he asked him if he thought islam was a peaceful religion. they had this debate. one of those coworkers was killed inside the regional center. remember there were two hand guns and two assault rifles used. they were all bought legally a few years ago. the handguns were actually purchased by syed farook. the rifles, the assault rifles were purchased by another man. now that man is being sought by authorityies now because they're trying to find out one, why he purchased weapons and two, why i gave them to the couple. there was in the house an immense amount of firepower, thousands of rounds of ammunition. we're talking about at least a dozen people bombs. not only that but hundreds of tools that could be used to build more pipe bombs. the working theory has been with police that maybe the christmas party wasn't the original

attack. that was not the original target. in fact the possibility was they just got off track and they either were looking for a bigger attack somewhere else or they were looking to conduct a second attack later in the very same day. they were also following money trail which is very important. if you look at all of these weapons, you look at the gear they had, remember that the husband works as a county health worker. he was making $50,000 a year. the wife didn't have a job at all. all of this equipment, at least tallies upwards of $30,000. the question investigators have, is, where did they get the money? kind of all goes back to weaving this in to possibility with a connection of terror. andrea: trace, those are all good questions. can you talk about the news today that the female terrorist applied for a k-1 visa and was vetted by u.s. department of

homeland security and she was cleared? what do you know about that? was there any suspicion? clearly not at the time but after that? i mean how did that happen when at a time in this country we're debating whether or not the government is able to vet refugees? reporter: you're right, it's a temporary vetting. you have to look at the whole line of alignment here, andrea. she was born in pakistan. she went to saudi arabia. she lived in saudi arabia. she went back to pakistan where she met syed farook. they came to this country on the visa you talks about. that allows for 90 days. it gives the husband 90 days to bring his fiance over. in that time they had to be marid in order for her to stay in the country legally. during the vetting pros she came up clean. there was nothing in her background to indicate any red flags at all. that is very short vetting process. it could have been two or three years ago it was conducted.

there is unclear if there was any follow-up after that. it is our understanding once you clear the initial process there is no follow-up. you get married and that's that. as far as the feds missed something and whether she had a background that went deeper into terrorist ties, is very unclear at this time, andrea. >> trace, this is melissa. a lot of people wonder why we haven't seen her face yet in the photos they're showing? do we have a photograph of her? is it the fact that she kept her face covered for religion reasons? why haven't we seen any photos of her? reporter: combination of both. we haven't seen them either. we are told photos are out there that have not been released. part of the reason is she was devout and kept her face covered. part of the reason may be police have the photos and are not releases them. investigatory purchases,

whatever, you get my drift here. the bottom line they believe that you know they're releasing stuff, really in a pretty fast clip fashion to us as far as the investigation goes. and right now, if police have those photos they haven't released them because i have been scanning for two days now looking for a picture and asking our producers and so far they have got nothing. >> trace, it is kennedy. i have a quick question what authorities are telling residents in san bernardino county, orange county, inland empire, riverside county because a lot of people have to be pretty undone out there. are they reassuring people? what are they telling them to be vigilant for? otherwise, are people freaked out? >> yeah. i mean they're freaked out. people all over the country are freaked out by this you might imagine. here in san bernardino county, the county issued a statement yesterday saying that safety is their number one concern. that they want their public many employees to know that they are looking out for their safety. similar statements have been

issued by the governor of california, jerry broken who was out here at the news conference before he went on to paris saying, look, we are trying best as we can to make sure people in this state feel safe. the whole mantra of terrorism is to try and make people feel terrorized so they go outside of their normal process of doing things in day-to-day lives. so everybody, all, all county, and all state authorities at least here in california, are trying, we believe safetysay, is top component. we are posting more security in places we believe that it's warranted but, really, they're saying what the president is saying, and everybody else is saying is, you need to go about your daily lives because you can't let terrorists win, kennedy. andrea: trace, thank you so very much. steve, also to pivot on that point, the president isn't just

saying, stay calm. they're still hesitant to call this for what it is. i'm going through the list. you heard trace's reporting. 2500 rounds for assault rifles. 2,000 rounds for handguns. ieds, the list goes on and on and on. this is not someone upset with a coworker. why won't the fbi and the white house and law enforcement say what this is? >> i have no idea. but this is part of a long pattern. we saw this back with the christmas-day bomber in 2009. we saw it with the times square attempted bombing in 2010. we saw it with benghazi. we've seen it repeatedly the administration and top officials don't want to call it terrorism for whatever reason. the attorney general of the united states say today her greatest fear, quote, her greatest fear, going forward was a potential backlash against muslims here in the united states. now look, that is a reasonable concern. we should be concerned about it. i certainly hope we don't see one, but her greatest fear? i am worried about other cells

here in the united states. i'm worried about the potential these folks weren't working alone. that they may have been in contact with radicals. >> that was my question for trace. that's why it is so critical to get the digital information to quantity co, virginia, to figure out exactly how close and how big the circle was. with there other people, other families, other worshipers at the mosque he was going twice a day? what about the imam at mosque? what about family members? so far they have been pretty vague. hard to believe they were dealing with this amount of explosives, that kind of bomb-making know how and that is sort of intent with no one understanding it. andrea: katie, when you look at the evidence trace presented and that they are looking at those hard drives, you have to imagine that theory is correct. something maybe tipped them off. they were planning something much bigger than that. >> right. i mean there is talk of a second attack that was planned. interesting went into this

building and only took out the party they were at. one of the things frustrating to me in this whole investigation we still don't have a motive. we know this woman pledged her allegiance to isis. there are reports they were in touch with al qaeda online. we know what the motive is. the other thing is no one is talking about the fact this was attack on christmas party. preplanned attack on christmas party. i can tell you if this was reverse and it was an attack on mosque or some celebration of ramadan for some reason we would have a whole different conversation in the narrative in the media about this for some reason no one is talking about they planned this on day they would be celebrating christmas at the office. that is the day they decided to do the attack. >> i think it is interesting and worth noting, seems more and more she was driving force and pledged her allegiance and they met online. someone made a comment no matter what way terrorists get into this country or can radicalize

other people they're going to do it. what if that was her plan all along, find someone, come here, radicalize them, get married, settle them. what if this was very long-term plan for her? tells us any way terrorists get in to work they are going to. >> easier to get in on fiance visa than as refugee. who wants to go through the two-year process? >> i was talking to intelligence officials today talking about just that. i think we're likely learn to a, this had been her plan all along. not just radicalizer of him and somebody who planned to come here to commit this attack. i think we're likely to learn government may have missed communications between known radicals both here and abroad and these attackers in a way i think will be problematic. third, we will learn, i believe that she had established ties to jihadists in the region, perhaps in pakistan. >> i am fascinated by this female suicide bomber aspect in

paris. we're seeing now this woman -- andrea: rise of women we heard this morning from fbi. >> the question from me is, islamic radicalism there is a benefit to the men for giving, suicide bombings, benefit to them. what propaganda is sold to the women here in the united states or overseas? >> that's a good point. >> encouraging them saying i will put on that you side vest an go to the united states and what are they receiving for their acts? we're not hearing a whole lot of intelligence. andrea: the woman in paris, seemed very western, taking bathroom selfies. this was very different. not born in the united states of america. seemed more traditional as a muslim. they're radicalizing all different types, not just men anymore. troubling thing they're not calling this for what it is still, even though it is so obvious. new reports say neighbors of

the suspects in san bernardino saw suspicious things going on at the couples' home but didn't call the police for fear of being accused of racial profiling. is it time to stop worrying about who we offend? >> learning more about the victims in the attack including father of six and nfl player. hi i'm heather cox on location with the famous, big idaho potato truck. our truck? it's touring across america telling people about idaho potatoes. farmer: let's go boy. again this year the big idaho potato truck is traveling the country spreading the word about heart healthy idaho potatoes and making donations to local charities. excuse me miss, have you seen our truck? you just missed it. ahhh! aw man are you kiddin' me? we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen.man.

♪ melissa: new questions whether being politically correct could have played a role in the san bernardino shooting massacre. we are learning that neighbors were reportedly suspicious of the couple, who they saw working late into the night in their redlands home garage and saw lots of packages arriving. no one called police for fear of being accused of racial profiling. presidential candidate carly fiorina sharing her thoughts on that with greta. >> this is the cost of people being shouted down because they express an opinion that the left-wing doesn't like. this is what happens. people stop talking. and we can not stop talking. we can't stop speaking the truth. and we can't stop saying something if we see something. but that's the cost. when people demonize a messenger because they don't like the message.

melissa: andrea, is this chilling effect? people saying you know what? never mind? andrea: no question. i think it is even worse than that, not never mind. i will not report something dangerous because i'm afraid of being labeled a bigot, xenophobe. this is the left what we've seen for years, trying to cripple action with threat of these names they call people and it is working. doing it with the refugee debate in this country. it is so troubling. when you think about men and women put their lives on line, men and women of law law enforct took out terrorists, ones fighting overseas giving their lives, the least we can do not buckle to the pc police. if we see something we say something and help that woman out. if the woman have done something and not be scared of radical left maybe 14 people would be alive today? melissa: i don't know if it is anything, here is what i saw,

you decide. you pass it off to the police do their job. we hope that it what it is. >> but the president actually has a lot of responsibility here. homeland security has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the see something, say something program. they have entire web page on the website dedicated to how to do see something, say something. president obama before thanks giving came out for the thanksgiving parade in new york, if you see something, say something, except with a kid with a clock looks likes a bomb, and if you say something your life will be ruined and you're a teacher at school, and you report something suspicious in your school, you will be called out nationally by the president of the united states. so when you see the president doing that, of course people on local neighborhoods seeing suspicious activity will say anything. there are serious dangers. we saw this at the fort hood shooting when nidal hasan. the army knew he was in touch with al qaeda. they knew he was going to his neighbors and preaching jihad. yet no one did anything because

don't want to be accused by cair of being islam phobe big. andrea: see something say something unless you think it's a muslim. melissa: so many cases we've seen whether shoe-bomber, comes down to ordinary citizen saying i saw something weird. you guys want to check it out? law enforcement can't be everywhere? >> that's what, looked like the times square attack wouldn't have happened anyway because of a flawed detonator. it was people paying attention to say something to authorities to allow them to step in before it could get any worse. agree entirely with katie the president has some responsibility. this is really hard issue, right? on one hand you don't want to accuse people of what they look like. don't want to do that. the president is right to have that concern. on the other hand he spent seven years telling us that we're no longer at war. that we don't have to be worried about these things. literally a couple weeks ago he said -- >> there are no implement attacks in this country. >> he has said this.

this has been his message on this question. bringing to a speech to an end george w. bush's boundless war on terror. people are not only concerned about the blowback much making accusations end up not being true or being attacked by the left, they're also not on war footing. president is telling them, don't be concerned about this anymore. andrea: said too, steven, the greatest concern of the administration is islamophobia. that is number one concern and coming at cost of american lives. melissa: flip side, kennedy, is the idea of neighbors spying on neighbors. do we risk going down slippery slope? >> in san bernardino this was city on verge of bankruptcy. this is one of the failed cities in california where the police department was so decimated because of their pension liabilities that the city wasn't able to pay, the city attorney told people, they don't have enough cops, go inside and get their guns. the that their police department has been so essentially crippled

by unionization in california, law enforcement i did so well, i fear every busy body on earth looking at everybody's garage and call the cops everybody is putting together a racetrack in their garage at 2:00 in the morning getting ready for christmas. we do have to be careful because we can't infringe on civil liberty abouts. we have to realize this is huge intelligence failure. yes, that does start with the administration but we also have to take stock what happened in paris what happened here, say really, what did we miss? melissa: lots of failure to go around on this one. we are learning more about the 14 innocent victims killed in that massacre. there are fair faces. we know the female shooter pledged allegiance to isis online. we have a live report on that. plus it was the cover that sparked outrage. the "new york daily news" front page mocking prayer in the face of tragedy. they're at it again. the latest page 1 shocker. what it means for the national conversation after the san bernardino mass shooting. jeb bush: here's the truth you will not hear

from our president: we are at war with radical islamic terrorism. it is the struggle that will determine the fate of the free world. the united states should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out isis with overwhelming force. their aim is our total destruction. we can't withdraw from this threat or negotiate with it. we have but one choice: to defeat it. vo: right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message.

melissa: fox news alert. we're awaiting the white house press briefing where we expect new reaction to the latest developments coming out of the san bernardino shootings. the female shooter in the massacre pledged allegiance to isis on facebook. earlier we learned federal investigators also believe that tashfeen malik may have radicalized her husband and may have even served as hess terror trainer before they opened fire on farook's office party, killing 14 people and injuring 21 others. we are monitoring that previous previous -- briefing. we'll it to you live as soon as it happens. andrea: we're learning about the 14 people killed in the san bernardino massacre including a father of six and the cousin of an nfl player. thousands of people met to

>> he dropped me off. i had snacks at my job. i'm a second grade teacher. and i had snacks that i needed to bring in. i will bring them in for you. i actually got extra hug and kiss before he left. i'm holding on to that. i'm grateful tore that. reporter: benetta betbadal was 14 years old and left her native iran to apparently escape islamic extremism and her husband said to pursue the american dream. >> she had the opportunity. raised beautiful three kids. had a house, education, work and enjoying life, vacationing, spending time with the unfortunately was taken away by an evil man. an evil woman. reporter: sierra clayborn was

27. she too was a colleague of syed farook, like him an environmental health specialist. she paid tribute to the victims of paris attack on her facebook page. her sister wrote yesterday, my heart is broken. i'm completely devastated. 40-year-old robert adams grew up in the san bernardino area and married his high school sweetheart. for years they tried to have kids. 20 months ago their daughter savannah was born. friends said he doted on that young daughter. those are just four of the 14, ordinary american lives, taken in such an extra ordinary and brutal fashion, leaving 14 families devastated, leaving them and all of us, andrea, to ask why. andrea. andrea: jonathan, so sad. you just imagine if that neighbor would have just said something they may be alive today.

"new york daily news," well, they're at it again one day after the controversial cover about the san bernardino killings. "the daily news" editor out with this statement defending it, quote, "the daily news," in any way not shape or form condemning prayer or religion. anyone suggesting other wise is either intentionally or unintentionally misconstruing the point that most gop politicians have offered nothing but empty platitudes and angry rhetoric in response to the ongoing plague of gun violence in our country. the paper following up with equally controversial cover today. the paper labeling the shooter and other mass killers as terrorists and including among with them, wayne laperriere, the head of the nra. and, including a line claiming that the nra has enabled terrorists with their quote sick gun jihad. steven, i'm not buying that statement by "the new york daily news." they knew exactly what they were doing.

a paper having some financial trouble i think they're loving this attention. >> they are. i used to work there. they never get attention. they have "new york post" envy. they're finally getting it and feeling their oats by doubling down. >> yeah. i'm sort of torn about even talking about this to be honest with you, because we're giving them attention they obviously thought. like a child throwing a tantrum. they were very clearly mocking religion. that is what everybody was doing on twitter that day. they cited twitter in their, comments on twitter in that statement. very clearly mocking religion. i think they wanted attention. i don't know what there is to say. it is disgraceful piece of journalism. andrea: kennedy, look at gun laws very strict in california, something the "new york daily ty seems to be missing. >> conveniently. andrea: terrorists don't follow gun laws. all the call to action from d.c. will hurt law-abiding citizen. frankly if someone would have had a gun that day they may have been able to save lives.

>> very difficult to get a gun in california. in fact a lot of people in this administration, people like chuck schumer who would like to see the california standards become national standards. i really feel progressives and leftists are so far off base with issue turning it into issue about guns. that is not what it's about at all. it doesn't go to the heart of this motivation which we're still trying to fully understand. we still need more intelligence. we still need more to round that out. we have to take a good hard look at separate the guns from the issues. let's look at violence. look at mental illness. let as look at terror. those are things that the administration does not want to address. and those things are not going to go away even if you take guns away from december citizens. andrea: no question. look at all the other weaponry trace outlined at top. hour. ieds, pipe bombs, they're all illegal. this is knee-jerk reaction taking one tool that could stop this out of the arsenal of law-abiding americans.

>> to follow up on kennedy's point, the president keeps asking for whatever he wants on table, when california done everything president asked for. universal background checks to purchase any firearm. you could go how california is the standard for what liberal politicians in d.c. and other states want to do but on the "new york post" situation, "new york daily news" situation, speaking of journalism, by them putting wayne laperriere in charge of a civil rights organization, a part of american culture more than 100 years an comparing him to not only islamic jihadists, but also mass shooters, completely dishonest. it is false journalism. the dale lie news is putting this on there if this is fact. this is completely bogus. while they're complaining about their views about religion being misconstrued and this cover, puts this person who represents millions of americans by the way on the cover. by the way, nra now who is more

in touch with americans and how they feel after terrorist attack. nra is trying to defend rights of americans when terrorist is on the loose, watching and going, that is my neighborhood. melissa: putting on equal footing somebody advocating islamic terror against somebody who is clearly mentally ill, someone defending people's legal rights what if you put people of planned parenthood on there as well? that is somebody defending people's legal rights. isn't different from nra. what outrage would at that cause? >> just dishonest. not a fair comparison. andrea: doesn't want to talk about. even though the president conflated what happened in colorado with paris, no one wants to talk about who has higher body count, doctors at planned parenthood and jihadists. very quickly. i think this is important. when meagan kelly interviewed james mitchell who waterboarded khalid sheikh mohammed, he said this, your country, khalid sheikh mohammed will turn on you. the liberal media will turn on you. people will grow tired of this

and turn on you and when they do you will be abandoned. he was talking about waterboarding. these terrorists understand our culture an playing us like a fiddle and playing media and media allowing that to happen. they're turning inward on the american people and terrorists understand that better than the people at the "new york daily news" editorial board do. that is a tragedy. they took 14 innocent lives but new evidence shows that the san bernardino attackers appeared ready for so much more. chilling details emerging about reported ties to isis. whether they had mortar gets in mind. plus republican frontrunner donald trump is showing no signs of slowing down. the jaw-dropping results of the latest poll and what it means for his gop rivals and the 2016 general election. ♪

kennedy: welcome back to "outnumbered." second time in a week, donald trump proving all-out dominance in rivals in the gop field. according to the latest cnn-orc poll, billionaire businessman leading with 36% support from republican registered supporters. that is the broadest support yet and widest lead since entering the case. followed by 10 cruz 20 points behind in second place. ben carson, and florida senator marco rubio coming in fourth. he has got 12%. with all the other candidates, they're only in single digits. in the same poll, 52% says trump has best shot of any gop candidate to win the 2016 general election. the results following quinnepiac university poll this week and showing a big shift to trump over carson, cruz and rubio. and i will ask you, stephen hayes, what does this mean for the race? what does it mean for the gop? what does it mean for rationality?

>> trump is going down next week. i don't know. i have no idea. i do think that there is a partial explanation for this in the post-paris days when voters are looking for clarity. i would argue that it's often clarity not based on fact, not based on reasoning, not based on logic, but it is clarity nonetheless. i would expect after san bernardino we'll likely see another bump. melissa: i totally disagree with you, about the fact he is willing to do anything. he made it clear he will not mince words. would jump in to protect people whatever that means. that is the impression people are getting. it is not a lack of rationality. they feel like he is not going to stand on, you know, whatever ceremony, pcness. >> we're agreeing. i'm not saying that people are embracing a lack of rationality. in a sense they are. melissa: you are saying it. >> he is providing this clarity in some cases when he says, for instance, that we are going to

and actually cast votes. kennedy: will they get out and what will cruz and rubio do? andrea: i think cruz and rubio continue doing what they are doing, even trump point some of his solutions seem unrealistic, they put anyone against him in defensive crouch, no, we can't do that. when he says build a wall, the others look whack saying no, we can't do that. people don't want to hear that i don't think trump is playing into the news cycle. the news cycle is following trump. >> that is true from the beginning. andrea: saw that with immigration. the news cycle with news cycle katie steinle followed trump. refugees, trump was hard to come out on the refugees. the other candidates meally-mouthed. now they're toughening their stance. a little too late. thirdly which see it with this one. trump comes out saying that saying muslims celebrating.

"happening now." and degnaw. andrea: -- we'll be watching. melissa: agency in crisis. study of a new by partisan report of the secret service. after a year long investigation lawmakers revealing six previously undisclosed security preaches since 2013. among them, wait for this, four people went fishing on a small lake and in vice president joe biden as backyard, undetected until a neighbor called. a czech citizen with expired visa spent an hour on george w. bush property without being protected. a man pretending to be a congressman, got backstage and spoke to president obama during a washington.

woman got backstage access at gala where president obama was speaking. an employee walked into a los angeles hotel where the president was staying. he wasn't screened. his bag wasn't even checked. two people walked into the outer security perimeter of the white house completely unnoticed. kennedy, i was just there with my family. i was trying to show them how beautiful the white house is. kennedy: this is no surprise. melissa: walked right in, made a peanut butter and jelly in the kitchen and no problem. kennedy: secret service has been plagued since they moved from treasury to dhs. morale has been very low. leadership has been questionable. it has been breach after breach. it is miracle they haven't seen something distaste truss. maybe this report will be cohesive factor that brings everybody together. melissa: i'm sure it will. i'm sure it will.

katie, which was favorite? fishing in joe bidens backyard. >> joe biden was probably buying them a beer. melissa: maybe he joined them. >> maybe he joined them. these incidents are funny to a point but they're actually very serious and dhs has been a disaster for secret service. a disaster for other federal law enforcement agencies including atf. the reason is, once they agencies moved from treasury to dhs, no longer became about listening to people on the ground who had 30 years experience on the street in working cases, working secret service. it became propping up guys in government who are there to climb the ladder rather than to do the work. one thing that stood out to me in this report which sound as whole lot like problems we have in other agencies, new hiring standards overburdened the secret service with low-quality applicants. what does that tell you? it tells you that they are more interested in filling quotas and checking off boxes than they are with taking quality candidates.

that is something you can not do when you talk about law enforcement, especially when it comes to protecting president. melissa: steve, what about the guy got backstage pretending to talk to the president and thought he was congressman and he wasn't? >> katie is right, funny to laugh about it but it is serious. what is most troubling this is not likely toned anytime soon. most of these incidents, several of these incident came after other major secret service problems. melissa: right. >> this has been highlighted, jason chaffetz spent a lot of time like this. problems are not getting solved. andrea: like sign language interpretter. very important, fbi, why weren't they talking to brother-in-law in san bernardino late in the night? why was he cat cair press conference. he should have been at being interrogated. ash carter make as announcement about women in special forces what is going on? where are the priorities? melissa: all right. absolutely.
