the idea of joe lieberman introducing is a risky proposition, but we'll see how that turns out. bottom line, do you agree with the following statement the only reason 3000 americans died on 9/11 is the islamic terrorists who attacked us could not find another way to kill more of us. >> yes. >> if they could they would kill more of us? >> that is my guess. >> i don't think it is a guess i think it is a fact. >> do you think isil represents a threat to our homeland. >> i think they do. >> they say they want to attack us. there is no reason to believe they are kidding. >> i agree. >> the head of isil is in camp buka and he said i'll see you in new york. >> right. >> and they want to hit us. so i couldn't agree more with senator mccain, and if you don't get that it is not just about a buy-in. they have the best platform since 9/11, they hold a large territory and they are rich and have crazy people under their control and they mean it when they want to hit us. do you think al-nusra wants to hit us? >> they do. >> they recruited a guy from florida, a suicide bomber, he came back befo

this is senator joe lieberman. did he not retire from public service? hearings to introduce ashton carter because the two are besties. he's a family friend. he's doing a little more than introducing mr. carter but we'll keep you posted from the important things that are being said at this hearing. >>> in other news this morning, we're expecting another tense day at the aaron hernandez murder trial. day four picking up where tuesday left off. testimony from the victim's girlfriend. the defense's cross examination of jenkins begin just moments ago. she broke down on tuesday later describing the moment hernandez consoles her. >> came into the dining room and asked me if i was okay. put his hand on my shoulder. rubbed my shoulder and told me he had been through this death thing before. it will get better with time. >> that testimony starting late after high drama. hernandez losing a possible ally when one juror got the boot. it was very strange. let's talk about that. criminal defense attorney and hln legal analyst joey jackson is here. good morning. >> goo

a good sign of that was the fact that former democratic senator joe lieberman who is a friend of thevices committee john mccain introduced ash carter. we're not expecting ash carter to get tripped up today unless he does so on his own. in some testimony he did make some news. he talked about how he is inclined to support setnding defensive weapons to ukrainians in the battle against pro-russia rebels and he won't speed up guantanamo detainee transfers under pressure from the administration and will take those case by case. obviously with what happened yesterday, the release of the video of that jordanian pilot being burned to death by isis has a lot of members of that committee quizzing the expected next defense secretary about the administration's plans for dealing with the islamic state. at one point during an exchange carter talked about -- i think he set an expectation that iraqi security forces were being trained by american advisers right now to take back territory that's controlled by isis and they could be ready to start on that battle in the coming months. this is what he to

nothing of you know politicians of all stretches are saying we have to wake up to this reality, joe liebermaner day saying we have to face this threat and call it what it is and not just try to pro-tend otherwise. >> yet we have a three-day conference going on in the white house as you know, karl, involving representatives from 16 nations who are essentially been told do not call it that. so what happens in the next three days? >> first of all not much will happen. i mean, this is inane. i'm waiting for the white house to say following up on the president's state of the union address in which we called for free college programs we're proposing free anger management programs in order to confront violence around the world. our allies want us to call its this. when the president of france can call it islamic extremism, when the british prime minister, when the president of egypt can call it islamic extremism, then we've got a problem if we think we're doing any good by not calling it by its name. we cannot rally people from a moral perspective all throughout the islamic world to confront this wi

i introduced this bill along with joe lieberman and scott brown and jason altmeier several years agosponse to anwar al awlaki an american-born cleric, leading al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. it was in the press that he was targeted to be killed. he was eventually killed but i thought, if we can kill an american citizen overseas who's a bad guy, and i had no problem with droning him, but the issue became to me if we can kill an american citizen, we should at least figure out a way to deal with his citizenship status. i want to make sure that anybody who would have their citizenship voluntarily relinquished would have an opportunity to appeal that decision. so there's an appeal process in place that simply adds to the precedent of the second world war and how we dealt with others who joined foreign armies. >> congressman, thank you for being with us and for your willingness to speak out. it is refreshing. thank you. >> thanks so much. great to be with you on the show. >>> straight ahead, we're following new violence overseas fighting flares up in eastern ukraine. and world leaders c

it was anderson cooper or someone to raise your hand if you have never accused marijuana and a joe liebermanhad to one that raised his hand and said i've never done that. so demographically the 60s generation are now in power and they have a lot of experience with these things and these are the people that are voting on these laws today. and the three strikes. dirty urine is one of the three strikes, so someone with two strikes and a test dirty marijuana shows up in their urine that can be the third strike to go away for life at an enormous expense to the state. that is a lot of money to lock someone up. so the zero tolerance kind of laws three strikes mandatory minimum, the politicians make them look tough, but when they're actually is a limit and active and put in practice, they are incredibly backwards. .. is there any one point that if he were going to, from colorado which we are in project, give to other states or congress, or whatever it is what one point would you press for to make sure happens? >> slight editorializing of the question is about being colorado and being first in what h

joe lieberman was a democrat from connecticut serving in the senate joined with susan collins, a republican from maine, on our side of the rotunda with like-minded people on the other side and they crafted this new department. they brought together 22 different agencies. they tried their best to achieve efficiency to eliminate duplication, save money but have a mission that is accomplished in keeping america safe. if you think about the departments of government, of course the department of defense comes to mind immediately when it comes to our safety. but not far behind is the department of homeland security. so it was december when the republicans in the house of representatives, given a choice of funding the government for this year, decided they would pick out one department and not fund it on a regular basis. they decided that one department would be funded on what they call a continuing resolution, which means kind of grabbing last year's budget and trying to make it work this year. what was that one department that the republicans decided needed to be handled differently and not prop

vice president going over there a few years ago, and lieberman i believe it was announced there would be 2,000 more settlement dwellings put in while joe biden was in veal israel. i think that the prime minister's getting what he deserves. i think the vice president to boycott this talk as the president of the senate is pretty extraordinary. and i think his own poll numbers are starting to see that in israel. and netanyahu has put his own personal interests above the interests of the nation of israel. and that's never a good thing for a leader to do anywhere. the. >> we're going to continue more of this discussion including what the president really did say about islamic state. >>> and later, the controversy that began when president obama said this. >> lest we get on our high horse and think america is different than other places. people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. the ♪ they lived. ♪ they lived. ♪ they lived. ♪ (dad) we lived... thanks to our subaru. ♪ (announcer) love. it's what makes a subaru a subaru. music: melodic, calm music. don't miss the princess cruises 50th anniversary sale. our biggest sale ever. save
