bellagio hotel and casino burst into flames last night, temporarily closing down the las vegas strip. it is us in fire chief says access was difficult, but the place was still knocked down and under hour. we will see you back here in an hour. >> jenna: "outnumbered" starts right now >> meghan: the message heard loud and clear around the world. the mother of all bombs was released against afghanistan. this, as the nation winning high trade from america's commander in chief. this is outnumbered, i meghan mccain. here today, dagen mcdowell, trish regan, fox news correspondent and anchor of fox report saturday, julie banderas, and today's #oneluckyguy, chris stirewalt. you're outnumbered. >> chris: i can tell.

i've said it before, this is one of my very for things to do in the world. you are dangerous women. this is a great thing to do because it reminds me how luckily am to work where i work and do what i do. it's good friday and i'm here with these wonderful people. i brought pastry. >> meghan: let's get this started. the pentagon releasing video of the strike. this is the largest nonnuclear weapon ever used in combat. the bomb targeting a series of underground tunnels near the pakistani border. afghan officials say there were no civilian casualties. president trump commanding the military on a job well done. >> we have the greatest military in the world and they've done their job, as usual. they have total authorization.

>> meghan: jennifer griffin now joins us live from the pentagon. >> officials here tell me this is a local decision made by the top u.s. commander on the ground, general john nicholson. i'm told he took the decision on his own. the bomb was moved january. 21,000 pounds of a blast radius of 1 mile. you can see the video really from the pentagon why they call it the mother of all bombs. when the air force tested this weapon in 2003 at the start of the iraq war, the boom from the explosion reached 10,000 feet into the air. until yesterday, it was never used in combat. today, afghan officials say 36 isis fighters were killed in yesterday's strike. this is an isolated part of afghanistan, a mountainous region on the border of pakistan were isis fighters can move back and forth freely across the border into pakistan. speaking this morning and a bull, nicholson defending his

position saying this is the right bomb in the right time to use it. >> we had persistent surveillance before, during, and after the operation. now we have afghan and u.s. forces on the site and see no evidence of civilian casualties, nor have there been any reports of civilian casualties. >> there under 1,000 isis fighters in eastern afghanistan today. general nicholson said hundreds of u.s. air strikes and the past two years have got this member of isis fighters down by two-thirds. yesterday's strike killed 36 isis fighters. senior air force officials told me this is a weapon that is used to form strategic messaging. i'm told this was a tactical decision by the commander in afghanistan with no real strategic input from washington. in other words, no particular message designed to be sent to north korea. >> meghan: thank you. meantime, republican defense are praising president trump.

senator lindsey graham tweeting i hope america's adversities ae watching. >> the decision to use the largest nonnuclear bomb that we have sends a clear signal of strength building on what he did last week in syria and is also a reminder both to the russians and north koreans that we have enormous assets if we want to use them. the speed the democrats appear to be throwing cold water on the strike saying it raises a lot of questions. this from jackie spear who sits on the armed services committee. >> they seem to be driven more by what kind of impact it's going to have on domestic policy then on a cohesive foreign policy. we are escalating in an area that i think we should be de-escalating in. >> meghan: meantime, president trump appearing to take a shot and his predecessor

when it comes to making military decisions. watch. >> friendly, that's why they've been so successful lately. if you look at what's happened over the last eight weeks and compare that to what's happened over the last eight years, you'll see there is a tremendous difference. >> meghan: chris, there's a lot to unpack here. first reactions to the mother of all bombs. >> chris: she said it was a messaging device? that's a hell of a memo right there. also, i like that because you -- if you're within a one-mile blast radius, you sort of kick it out of the back of the plane and it goes. i think democrats have a point to make about the timing and all of the stuff and i understand that. this would be borne out or not borne out. their criticisms will either be true or untrue. but we know this, there is an international audience.

it is a north korea. we hear mike pence heading to south korea as there is word of the nuclear test waiting in north korea. we have a very tense situation there. we have a ton situation with russia. it does send a message. >> meghan: what did you think when you first saw this question marks been on i'll paraphrase what "the wall street journal" editorial page said this morning because they say it better than i thought. this is clearly a message to kim jong-un they have learned that the u.s. considers them to be pushed back hard behind its adversaries aggression. i was heartened because it opposed to a donald trump set on the campaign trail. the u.s. is not going to be the

world's cop, it was nationalist, it was a neo-isolationist, that was president obama's policy on the world stage, not ours. we're going to step up made the world leader that we have been and still are. >> meghan: i want to read you a tweet because i was impacted by this. a veteran named mr. jones said i lost my legs because the government was afraid to use the tools they had and saw me as expendable. i wish i had this a administration. >> julie: if you look back in history and you look at what iraq, there are many people who believe president bush of the time had protected that isis would rear its ugly head if we didn't do something serious by dropping a big bomb. now, al qaeda, we have isis. it only gets worse. chris murphy actually tweeted out on this and i want to read it. while reading stories about this be 27, ask yourself why dropping bombs on the enemy and they're not a defeated.

this is never been done before. the only time it was tested was back in 2003 in florida. this is a test that needs to be sent to the international community and i believe we never had an isis before it. since we've had them, they've never been defeated. they've only grown during the obama administration. i think the timing is everything. we sent that message to syria, and i were sending a message to north korea and are going into afghanistan. let's do it all at once because if you do one thing and you sit back and you stay silent, that's when the enemy has time to materialize and a swing enemy has time to sit back and plan. president trump made it very clear, he's not going to allow the enemy to be ahead of this and he is not going to alert the enemy before we actually take action. we can't let time go by because then they will have time to get us back. >> meghan: this is all music to my ears but i'm one of the hocks that was referenced earlier on in the show. i think what's confusing to allow donald trump fans as he

ran on america first. he ran as an isolationist, noninterventionalists. in the first 83 days, this is a complete 180. at some of his core fans who helped get him elected aren't too pleased. >> trish: he said he would take out isis, he promised that. it may be america first and we don't necessarily want to get into every problem going on all around the world, he promised to make a safe and as part of making a safe, that means you have be a little bit more aggressive. he believes that that is what's necessary to do. a lot of people said that on the campaign trail, they were worried about him being isolationist. he did say we need to protect ourselves, we need to take out isis and be strong. i think this is evidence here that he is willing to be as strong as he needs to be. to think we've had this for about ten years, we've never used it before.

the most powerful nonnuclear device we have in our arsenal and sure enough, he goes right out and takes out the 36 isis fighters. >> julie: there is something to be said about no civilians killed. you know if one civilian died, there would've been a huge backlash. you have to give it credit to the military. >> dagen: and give credit to the military for the president relying on them. we've been waiting months to use this. i think the loss of our soldier referencing the staff sergeant, their green beret who was killed, he was from edgewood, maryland, said i think the loss of our soldier helped motivate leaders to approve this. >> chris: and focus their thinking. remember, proportional response is a thing. we forgot about in the united states. under the bush and obama administrations, the role was if you break it, you bought it, a

forward strategy of freedom i believe is what they called it. under president obama, it was fairly or unfairly leading from behind. we're going tlly america's rolen the road team because america was maybe the problem in all of this. if we go back to before that, the reality was, the united states would occasionally blow your stuff up. that didn't mean we are going to invade your country or build a new nation or do any of that stuff. just occasionally, if use chemical weapons, we blow you up. if you kill a united state's special operator, we're going to blow your stuff up. ronald reagan did it, bill clinton did it, george h.w. bush did it, people do it. it was a proportional response. it's a thing that was an american policy before. >> dagen: people knew if you went too far, the united states is going to intervene and for decades, you can't just abandon

that and expect that everything's going to be just fine. that's what we did for the last eight years. i think now trump is coming in and saying we have to retake our position and make sure we put all these guys on notice that they can't just do whatever they want. >> meghan: took what my brother yesterday, he said it's about time. >> dagen: we really want to see the u.s. receipt? i think i really can say no. >> meghan: the indications that this reflects a new military posture for president trump and whether this gives us a preview of what we can expect in the next four years. plus another threat from north korea. what the proper u.s. response should be. e

when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. ykeep you sidelined.ng that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

all umm...ed. you wouldn't want your painter to quit part way, i think you missed a spot. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. you want this color over the whole house?

>> julie: it is already saturday and north korea, the day that marks the 105th birthday of the country's founder. the national holiday usually marked by a show of force. the norse regime starting to ramp up, this time as tensions keep rising in the region.

one top north korean official even saying the country will "go to war" if it is provoked by the u.s. blaming president trump over his tweets. listen. >> it's not the dpr k, but the u.s. and trump who made problems. i say this because trump tweeted that the dpr k, north korea, is looking for trouble. we have a popular nuclear deterrent already in our hands and we will certainly not keep our arms crossed and a preemptive strike. >> julie: they are also staying there and carry out a nuclear test. the time and place of their choosing. vice president mike pence heading to south korea on sunday. aides are saying this is a sign of the u.s. commitment to its allies in the face of growing tensions. let's first of all talk about the fact that this has been ongoing for decades. i personally feel it could have been put to rest decades ago. they decided to abandon the

treaty. sections were lifted back in 1996 under president clinton at the time. in 2014, rather 2016, i remember, no, 2006, i apologize. july 4th, i was on the air and they fired seven ballistic missiles. all of these threats come obviously. now they see we mean business and we're going to to go in th. at what point to the united states go and strike north korea? easing sanctions, that hasn't helped. >> chris: north korea is probably the second behind maybe somalia, the second or third worst place in the world. there are 20 million human beings who live in north korea. they are starving to death, it is a gulag nation. north korea is a national security concern shortly for our allies in south korea and japan,

but it is a humanitarian crisis that is ongoing. the moment that you take out that lunatic, the moment that that regime, that -- remember what they're celebrating, they believe his grandfather was born of god or something at the top of a mountain and descended down to rule these people. the moment that that's over, the concern becomes a word of those 20 million people go? our allies in south korea do not want them to come streaming across the river and have to deal with these people. the people in china are going to have to put troops on the other river at the northern border and say no, you can't come up here. we have a real problem in north korea and the bigger problem are the north koreans, not their nukes. >> julie: militarily, is this a safe bet? it is scary, because we are talking about kim jong-un who if he had the weapons, he would do it.

experts say that they don't actually have a missile capable of going transcontinental to carry a nuclear weapon at this point. >> meghan: he could in the next few years. i remember having a conversation with degen about the movie the dictator and everything that that place. the difference between kim jong-un and every other maniac dictator on the world is even someone like assad, and some context has a realm of understanding of the political implication of what he's doing on some level. they're all maniacs, but i've said this before. i'm echoing my father. i think is a crazy, fat, spoiled kid hanging out. he think's nuclear weapons are fun to toy with and i'm absolutely petrified at the growing threat. how much is realistic, different analysts say different things. the big question is if president trump would have more leverage now and getting china to get on board after their lovely meeting.

>> dagen: i did call kim jong-un a little dorm room refrigerator. president trump did something so critical and the last few weeks in terms of china. he wants china to use its economic leverage over north korea and trump says i'll negotiate with you on trade, i'm not going to label you a currency manipulator if you start to do some heavy lifting in dealing with north korea. we are starting to see small signs of that. north korean coal, china stopped filing north korean coal. in fact, there were a dozen cargo ships that were turned to north korea fully laden with coal. also, the global times of a prominent state run chinese new paper said that if the north casts a another missile, we're going to put restrictions on oil potentially. north korea is almost entirely reliant on china for oil. the trade with north korea between china is actually up

about 37% in the first quarter from a year ago, so they're still trading with china, but these small steps are the kind of economic leverage that trump is talking about. >> trish: the question is how much will it matter, knowing that he is as crazy as he is, if you are operating with vladimir putin or even assad, maybe have a little bit more leverage when it comes to sanctions. i think this is the right step china needs to cut off its relations economic regulations regulations -- we need to do something to make sure that this guy is contained and he doesn't get the ability to send a weapon to us. that's the real fear. it's probably the biggest fear right now that hasn't been as played out. as for the refugee crisis that you're concerned about, chris, that's also very interesting to watch because we have to figure out, and this is important for us all around the world, we need to figure out what is the next player? what do we do once we take out

assad? what we do once we take out this guy in north korea? what is the transition process? people don't like the nationbuilding thing, they don't want to be over there, draining our resources trying to get these countries in order, but you also can't leave them. we learn that in iraq. >> julie: we know diplomatic efforts are useless. we know easing sections are useless. we know taking it away is useless. this is why we are where we are. all these efforts have failed. >> dagen: that bomb targeted tunnels and bunkers underground, how is that on a message to north korea with their nuclear test? >> julie: we will be right back. we'll talk about a new battle brewing over obamacare as president trump orders fixes to the loss. democrats are demanding obamacare funding be included in a spending bill. plus, a liberal hollywood director slamming the military's

attack on isis. singing the only way to stop the terror groups is with love. can hollywood really be this much out of touch? your insurance company raises your rates... maybe you should've done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance. due to your first accident. no one burns on my watch! try alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. enjoy the relief.

how to brush his teeth. (woman vo) in march, my husband didn't recognize our grandson. (woman 2 vo) that's when moderate alzheimer's made me a caregiver. (avo) if their alzheimer's is getting worse, ask about once-a-day namzaric. namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients who are taking donepezil. it may improve cognition and overall function, and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. namzaric does not change the underlying disease progression. don't take if allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine, or any of the ingredients in namzaric. tell the doctor about any conditions; including heart, lung, bladder, kidney or liver problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, or procedures with anesthesia. serious side effects may occur, including muscle problems if given anesthesia; slow heartbeat, fainting, more stomach acid which may lead to ulcers and bleeding; nausea, vomiting, difficulty urinating,

seizures, and worsening of lung problems. most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and bruising. (woman 2 vo) i don't know what tomorrow will bring but i'm doing what i can. (avo) ask about namzaric today.

>> dagen: the dropping of the mother of all bombs in afghanistan. it reflects the new military posture and running when at the 100 day mark of the term presidency. mr. trump authorizing three military missions since he took office. just after january 29, a week after he was sworn in, they collected information on potential terror attacks against america and her allies. just this week, the u.s. unleashing a mirage of cruise missiles on the syrian air base used in a horrific chemical attack can killing 80 civilian.

the u.s. dropping the largest bomb, not a nuclear bomb in our arsenal in afghanistan killing dozens of terrorists. i'm going to you first because you were critical of donald trump on the campaign trail. does this behavior surprise you? >> meghan: very, i was very i'm happily surprised the number one issue above all else, but he has done foreign policy wise, what he is done in the middle east. isis is a direct result of him pulling us out of iraq. i don't believe he let our military win, i don't think you let them succeed, i don't think he gave them the amount of troops we needed, especially in afghanistan and i am happy that we finally have a leader that's going to show the world what america is, who we are, we are going front and center. i don't like war, i don't like bombs, i know there's a notion

that people with foreign policy like bombs. that's not the case. i like showing the entire world that america is not going to stand up for this monstrous evil in the middle east. >> dagen: >> trish: do you thino more of this? as we look forward to the next four years, are you going to see more bombings, are you going to see more military activities, or is this all happening to let the world be on notice in the first 100 days? >> chris: it matters more with a republican like ours. the populace is to sort conflict. it's great, you drop a bomb, you're scaring the jeepers out of everybody, it's a big one. everybody knows that the united states has the power, not just to drop one bomb, but to destroy life on earth as we know it. donald trump has a nuclear launch codes that can end human life.

no one in the world has doubted -- >> meghan: happy good friday. >> chris: no one has doubted the supremacy power of the united states for the past 30 years. however, the commitment to what comes next. we've talked about proportionality. it's one thing to say it you did this, you get that. as reagan dead, and now we leave. now we stay out of your space. you can all go to hell over there if you want, we're going home. you can do it that way, but if there is the national will if we find ourselves -- >> dagen: if you are donald trump and you're coming in, your obligation is to keep everyone safe. can you imagine the pressure? he wants to make sure we're saf safe. >> dagen: he was clearly personal touched and moved after the sarin gas attacks on those

innocent men, women, and children in syria. megan, to your point, you are so encouraged when general mattis was named secretary of defense. to repeat and often repeated phrase, personnel is policy. this is leading his people and has a administration lead. this is rex tillerson, and general mattis. tiller's and end mattis, there is no daylight between those gentlemen. they don't want to rip up the nuclear deal, they didn't think it was wise. they also are taking a tougher stance on russia. just look at the expression on rex tillerson's face when he was over and russia. that was not a face from a john kerry era. >> trish: you think about all the democrats, this is just warmongering and this is going

to get us in so much more trouble than we need to be in in the world is going to be heading straight for world war iii, is at the reality or is this what we need to do right now to make sure we don't wind up in world war iii? >> julie: after we went and dropped those tomahawk missiles in syria, i think a lot of people were concerned, are we beginning world war iii? as is contradicting to what president trump then campaigned on, that he doesn't necessarily want to get in every war or every civil war. it's not necessarily against the constitution to go forward and react. the question is now, how many countries do we get involved and where do we draw the line? we are in iraq, afghanistan, syria, talking north korea, it's scary. >> meghan: dropping bombs in sud so many countries. >> meghan: i know for one, i

had a long conversation with my brother after i left, and i have always wondered when he was in iraq with his buddies getting shot at, why don't we use our arsenal in the way we can to exterminate this evil? i know it sounds harsh, but the last eight years goddess isis. democratics had eight years to screwed up royally. >> dagen: now back to some domestic issues. a new showdown over obamacare as the trump administration announces some fixes to the health care law while reaffirming its goal of repealing it. among the changes, a shortened sign-up window allowing insurers to design low premium plans that can be tailored to young adults. this is democrats are now

demanding key obamacare payments be included in the next spending bill, raising the risk of a government shutdown. president trump threatened to cancel reimbursement to insurers to force democrats to negotiate on health care. chris, i would point to the republicans, assuming they can't get anything done, the health care reform is priority over tax reform, however, if they can get something done to change obamacare and fix that, at what point to the republicans say it's collapsed? >> chris: they already do. kaiser family foundation research poll that was out this week makes it very clear. 2-1 blame republicans for whatever happens from here on in. i'm sorry republicans, i apologize. the idea that you can say to voters in the united states, he did it, we just couldn't fix it,

so you have to lose your insurance, sorry, my bad. it does not work. it doesn't work, voters will punish you. the republican party's inability to have a replacement plan ready and to have agreed on what the basic tenants of this were were ranked as one of the most significant political failures of modern history. this is a doozy. >> dagen: insurers right now are designing and pricing their insurance products for 2018. they got presented to the state insurance commission in june and july. come october, the american people find out who are buying their insurance individually, with or have the same insurance provider, how much their premiums are going up, republicans are going to own all of that. mostly don't already. a >> julie: republic and eight years to complain and they did. they said the second we take office, we're going to repeal and replace, come up with something better. rand paul is one of the first to come forward. he had ideas, but they didn't go

with it. they didn't sell it to republicans. at this point, premiums are still rising. this thing is backfiring. i don't understand why people, who solve the obamacare rollout was an utter disaster, are having foggy memories. it's almost like they forgot how bad it was. people couldn't even get on the website. people couldn't get health insurance. people who voted against trump and wanted to hold onto obamacare on all kicking themselves because their insurance premiums are rising. >> dagen: at cut taxes by a trillion dollars, a reformed medicaid, i got rid of the individual mandate and they got rid of the employer mandate which encouraged hiring, how did they not sell that to the american people? >> trish: they moved too quickly. they put this artificial deadline on themselves, we have to get it done. they tried to rush it through.

this guy is a ceo, he's run his own company, he's been able to say all of you get to work, here's your deadline, i wanted done. he can't do that in washington because you have the democrats, you have all these different interests. i think it was a mistake of paul ryan, steve bannon, a mistake to say we need to get this done asap. they should have given themselves more wiggle room and also they're trying to do now. they're saying we're still going to repeal and replace, we're just taking our time with it. then he massaged it a bit and talk to everyone and convince everyone and go golfing with everyone. >> dagen: can they get summing done? >> meghan: i sure hope so because midterm elections are royally screwed for republicans if we don't make this work. i've sent from day one, if we scrub repeal and replace, that an immigration -- if the freedom caucus can get on board, arizonans are the most screwed

of anybody -- >> dagen: took obama 14 months. i agree with trish, you cannot run something like this. even president trump said as more comp located than he thought. >> chris: i can move, i can switch with you. >> julie: you stay right there there. we have more to discuss coming up. fbi director james comey morning americans to aware of fake news. he says a lot of what we here can be part of an organized disinformation campaign meant to undermine our faith and our democracy. i no longer live with

the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements.

>> they're trying to accomplish is undermining effort because of social media in particular. the most important thing to be

done is people need to be aware of the possibility that what they're reading has been shaped by troll farms looking to push messages on twitter to undermine our confidence. >> trish: a warning about fbi director james comey. i wish i heard less from the fbi director. i feel like the fbi director should be doing what he should be doing which is investigating things that the white house and russia are asking him to investigate. becoming a part of the news is a little bit disturbing. he went ahead and said there was no evidence of russia and the presidential election. that's good. i don't need to know all the facts behind an investigation. i feel like we're hearing too much from him. >> chris: he didn't say there is no evidence of russia.

>> trish: >> julie: up to this , there is no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign in russia. >> chris: they're not done with their investigation. >> julie: keep your facts to yourself, then when you're concluded, then you come forward and reveal the evidence. >> chris: a little more mystery rather than just going to the camera? the truth is washington is operating in a vacuum when it comes to the russia stuff. it is undisputed that russian trolls and that stuff in the fake news, what he is saying is an uncontroversial thing to say which is obviously, they did that. that's part of how putin destabilizes government and eastern europe. why wouldn't they try with us? the vacuum in which washington is operating is there are three investigations taking place into what russia did vis-a-vis the 2016 election.

none of them are concluded. we don't know what the findings of those are. if those two things people be concerned about. it they ought to be concerned that russian metals in our investigation and the possibility that people who work for donald trump may have had contact with them. they should also be concerned about people of the obama administration may have tried to set up and make it look worse, leaking, unmasking. all those things are concerned people. there are three investigations, we ought to wait insofar as we are able for real facts and real findings from these investigations before he treated around with billy clubs. >> dagen: one of the problems with fake news, people who are angry that president trump got elected and also the vast number of liberals on social media, they spread this fake news knowing that it's fake potentially. that's another troubling thing. getting schooled by jim call me on the matter isn't going to stop this.

this is the stream of emails, used to get from your first cousins for the husband who always had a conspiracy theory about something. you know they're fake, but these idiots online send them all the time. >> trish: you know their fate, i know there fake, i have a friend and i say to her you know this is fake, right? you can tell. they don't do a very good job on the fake news because as soon as you look at it, you know it's fake. i'm amazed that people fall for it. >> meghan: i have said this at what point in time to people like mark zuckerberg and people running twitter, when they will actually take some kind of ownership and the fact that things like russian cyber bought trolls or whatever are spreading around news that say syrian gas attack was fake and made up, that's dangerous on many different levels in many different ways. at one point in time -- by the

way, when are they actually going to get involved and start helping out with this as well? >> julie: there is also news that a russian -- that's ridiculous. >> chris: he says we heard actors to do it. what's sick is that there are americans who because of their political views either as isolationists or liberals who hate trump are willing to believe garbage like that just as they were during the election, willing to believe misinformation like that. i tell you, if americans do not learn to put their country ahead of their party, we are going to be in for a very unhappy time in this country. >> dagen: i get the hallelujah rate here. wait until you hear. a liberal hollywood director -- his strategy for fighting isis

is a doozy, saying we should learn more, to be more loving to the terror groups. kumbaya. does this kind of thinking actually put us at risk? we debated up next.

>> dagen: jon scott with what's coming up in the second hour of "happening now." >> jon: next hour, rising tensions with north korea as both the u.s. and north korea up the ante. but the north test a nuclear weapon this weekend and what will the u.s. do if that happen happens? plus no follow from that incident aboard the united flight after a man was dragged off bloodied and beaten. what policies are changing and if your flight is overbooked, how do you protect yourself? that's all ahead, "happening now." >> dagen: will be with you shortly. >> meghan: josh fox fuming over the massive bond drop in afghanistan. the anti-fracking filmmaker says one we learned that only love stops hate and bombing only creates more isis? love your enemy, don't create more them. his comments, provoking responses from hundreds of twitter users. one person replied, sounds sweet, reality is quite different though.
