kevin cork is live in dc with what's happening next. kevin? >> good morning, guys.is an immigration show down. here's what the president is up against. 26 states that won a big legal victory when the judge agreed with them they would suffer financial harm if the president's plan to legalize millions of illegal immigrants moves forward. the judge also ruled the president over steps his bounds by effectively changing the law something only congress can do. the president argued that any administration can decide when or how to enforce a law or in this case not to enforce it and the president promised to appeal the decision. >> i disagree with the texas judge's ruling and the justice department will appeal. this is not the first time where a lower court judge has blocked something or attempted to block something that ultimately was shown to be awful. >> 22 times he said he did not have the authority to implement the type of measure. the day after he signed it into law he said quote, i just changed the law. those words alone show he violated the constitution and violated

in washington kevin corke, fox news. lori: many thanks to kevin corke. jeb bush is getting criticized from politicians on both sides of the aisle. this is president obama last night on bush's home turf at a town tall in miami. >> i appreciate mr. bush being concerned about immigration reform. i would suggest that what he do is talk to the speaker of the house and the members of his party, because the fact of the matter is -- [ applause ] >> that even after we pass bipartisan legislation in the senate, i gave the republicans a year and a half a year and a half, to just call the bill. we had the votes. lori: and this was potential rival senator rand paul last night. >> the fact that jeb admits that when he was in an elite prep school that he smoked pot, he's willing to put somebody in jail for medical marijuana in florida. a lot of poor people go to jail for drug offenses when he was in a wealthy school he used marijuana and didn't go to prison. it shows hypocrisy that is difficult for people to understand while we put a 6 66 5-year-old in jail for medical

thanks so much, kevin corke. we'll have much more on this issue in my commentary here tonight.resident obama today unveiled one of the most senseless, irrational federal budges ever with -- budgets ever with such absurd levels of taxation that it would make even george iii blush. this from a president who has already added $7.5 trillion to our national debt. not only have republicans responded by saying they won't pass it they won't apparently be even discussing it, at least with us on this broadcast because we can't find anything to talk about either. stay with us, we're coming right back. ♪ ♪ lou: the obama administration is considering a reversal of its foreign policy toward ukraine. actually considering helping to arm ukraine against russian aggression. kt mcfarland joins us next. the future of the market is never clear. but at t. rowe price we can help guide your retirement savings. our experience is one reason 100% of our retirement funds beat their 10-year lipper averages. so wherever your long-term goals take you we can help you feel confident. request a prospectus or s

kevin cork is live at the white house. with so many hot spots in the middle east, why is the president convinced that more boots on the ground is a bad thing, even though a lot of people think it's a good thing? why is it bad for our national security? >> that's a terrific question. it seems a little counterintuitive when you get down to it. really you figure more overwhelming power would do the job. but the administration is taking more of a long view in essence saying listen, if the people there on the ground themselves don't take the fight to the enemy, it's up to the american people and the military in particular to end up stuck with the casualties and the cost. >> it is entirely possible for us to deploy 200,000 or 300,000 u.s. troops. if we don't have inside of iraq or inside of syria or inside of afghanistan both the capacity and the will of people to fight for themselves, then any gains that are made eventually dissipate. so this takes longer, but it's the right way to do things. >> a slower approach but one that t

kevin corke at the white house.r colleague from the fox business network lou dobbs. lou, good morning to you. we brought you on to talk about a different topic but now with breaking news this is the worst nightmare come true for this family. >> it truly is, and by every account kayla mueller was an extraordinary young lady but each lives that have been lost in this senseless war that is being waged by radical islamists across the middle east indeed, the attempts to wage it across western civilization reminder of us all that this is not as the president would suggest a war that is fading and irrelevant or won for that matter as he implied in his most recent statements. the fact is, that this is a growing, growing organization as he put it. the islamic state. and, we have to take seriously our responsibilities to, as he described the goals of the obama administration, to degrade and destroy it. this is, this is our haifa lieutenant tin words on -- high-fallutin words from the white house. they have to go out and kill

correspondent kevin cork reports on how the obama administration is struggling to keep up with the furious pace of events. >> reporter: the closure of the american embassy in sanaa punctuates a steady decline into chaos for yemen, one that threatens american security strategy in the region and the very lives of those charged with carrying it out. >> we remain strongly committed to supporting the yemeni people and will explore options for a return to sanaa as soon as the situation on the ground improves. >> reporter: critics say what's left behind amounts to a chalk outline of a failed american policy. out, strong coordination with the yemeni government. in, al qaeda affiliates many of whom are backed by the iranian regime poised to fill the new power vacuum. >> let me be clear, yemen is collapsing before our eyes. we cannot stand by and watch. >> reporter: a collapse a striking contrast to how the president described the country as recently as september. >> the strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that we have successfully pu

meanwhile kevin cork is live in washington, d.c. with the details breaking overnight. >> good morning guys. a texas-led coalition of 26 states will have a little bit more time to pursue a lawsuit to come up with a permanent order to stop unfettered amnesty. that is what backers are saying, of the judge that at least for now put the brakes on the president's immigration plan. his name, andrew hannon. he's a u.s. district judge. he says without the preliminary injunction states would suffer irreparable harm in this case. he said the presence of millions of people would be virtually irreversible. the white house had been hoping to expand a program that would protect young immigrants from deportation if they had been brought here illegally as kids. it was set to take place as early as wednesday. that will not happen. the white house in issuing a statement, they're saying they're obviously going to appeal this in new orleans to the fifth circuit, the department of justice legal scholars, immigration experts all agree. they say the presid

. >> kevin cork setting the table for us.hank you. >>> president obama pointing out the peaceful nature of islam and the twisted nature that motivates extremist today. he said with al-qaeda and isis pedaling the law the united states is at war with islam, our campaign to prevent people from around the world to be radicalized is a battle for hearts and mind. steven dine is here writer at the washington times good to have you. kevin cork touched on this. i think this line is significant. i want to break the quote down into two pieces. the president said with al-qaeda and isis pedaling the lie that the united states is at war with islam. do you think that is the reason that the president doesn't want to be caught on video using the term radical islamist because he believes it will feed into that narrative. >> that is absolutely the reason but the question is whether that is a good enough justification for that. the president has multiple audiences and the important one is the one he is trying to convince at home to give him war

kevin corke from the north lawn. immigration, the order there, is there any agreement on that? >> reporter: let's be honest about it. you know there won't be despite importance of this issue the truth is, especially many republican governors would prefer the white house not hand out policy instead leave it in capable hands of congress. if you follow congress, i know you have you know gridlock has been the order of the day here for quite some time. this is especially thorny issue for the state of texas. lone star state governor greg abbott says the president is out of his authority pushing for executive action. he says enough is enough. >> he is saying he is going to act because congress is not acting. at that is not the way of united states america works. not the way the constitution was created. he is acting in violation of the united states constitution which is why for one, we brought this lawsuit. for another, why we are winning this lawsuit. >> reporter: governor greg bab bottom of the lone star state of texas.

heather: kevin corke live for us. we appreciate it. >> you bet.ms that the white house knew the location of americans being held hostage by isis for weeks maybe months. for some reason they delayed a rescue mission until it was too late. we'll speak with the parents of james foley one of the americans murdered by isis. you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it. "depreciation" they claim. "how can my car depreciate before it's first oil change?" you ask. maybe the better question is why do you have that insurance company? with liberty mutual new car replacement, we'll replace the full value of your car. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. heather: we begin this hour with a fox news alert. iraqi security forces able to fight off an attack by isis on a key air base with the help of the coalition. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm heather childers in for martha. gregg: and i'm gregg j

kevin corke is watching this from the white house. kevin?jenna, good morning to you and you're right because from the white house's perspective it is all about the approach to combating not just cyber threats but mitigating the chance for more cyber attacks. i think you touched on something urgely important. what does it mean for you and me, and those watching at home about our personal security and safety online and more broadly the nation's security? the president is expected to unpack the idea that cyber tools are necessary and should be utilized in every opportunity to obviously fight cyberterrorism. take a listen to what he said last month in a speech at the cybersecurity center. >> cyber threats pose enormous challenge for our country. it is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation. neither government nor the private sector can defend the nation alone. it is going to have to be a shared mission. government and industry working hand in hand as partners. >> reporter: in a partnership but as yo

kevin corke is live at the north lawn of the white house. kevin?porter: you remember that jenna? you're right. not very far from here. give or take 100 yards to my left where the drone crash happened at white house. that flight by the way was technically illegal because it happened within five miles of an airport. you can't do that. but under the new guidelines there would even be more restrictions as laid out by the faa let me show you a few of them. we talked about the five-mile limitation with respect to flying near airports. how about this? a drone has to weigh less than 55 pounds used come merkley. fly up to 500 feet in altitude. that is pretty high. the washington monument for perspective is 554 feet tall or 555 depending on latest measurement. they have to remain in eyesight of user. that brings up new questions does that mean line of sight or video surveilance. from a commercial perspective that create as new limitations. share with you something we just got from fox news. this is amazon's latest statement. the faa needs to begin and ex-pa

kevin cork is live at the white house with the administration reaction.more executions coming from the jordanians king abdullah just arrived back. the jordanians have promised a turnedous response. they do hold a large number of al-qaeda and/or isis-affiliated prisoners. officials believe the pilot was burned to death almost a month ago. isis then put out a slickly produced video. this is a still frame of that video showing the jordanian pilot in a cage before being lit on fire and burned alive. the video's release shows isis' demands to trade the pilot for this woman already on death row for a failed suicide bombing attempt in 2005 as nothing more than a cruel ploy. she, along with another al-qaeda death row inmate were executed this morning at dawn on the grounds of prison just south of the capital of jordan: the timing is critical. word of the pilot's killing came as jordan's king abdullah was on a planned trip to the united states for discussions, among other things about the kingdom's partnership in the bombing campaign against isis. it quickly turne

for now back to you. >> kevin cork, thank you very much. >> okay.the weekend. we have another fox news alert to follow up on. denmark, police arrested two more people they say have a connection to this weekend's terrorist attacks in copenhagen. now we're hearing that there could be more raids today. let's get right out now to fox news correspondent amy kellogg live in london with the breaking details. hey, amy. >> reporter: hi. copenhagen police are not saying much except for that the two they arrested are in the courthouse right now. authorities are trying to determine if whether they can keep them in jail as this investigation continues. but they have been charged. media reports say they may have provided weapons to the suspect now dead. what's interesting is that when that suspect was killed, the main suspect's shooter, police thought they got their man and basically the story was more or less over. but in fact, if danish media reports are correct that he got out of jail just a few weeks ago, then it's an awful lot to expect, that he would have f

kevin cork is live at the white house. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, guys.day talk to attendees here at the summit. while the white house quite honestly has been hard pressed to sort of explain or unpack the deliverables, what to expect after all this talk, the truth is we do know one thing, they're still very hesitant to identify terrorist groups as islamic terrorist groups. among those obviously isis. the president's speech to muslim leaders was rich with language, but truth be told, pretty short on how the u.s. would win on the battlefield against isis. instead once again focusing on how to help muslims. >> we do have to address the grievances that terrorists exploit, including economic grieveances. poverty alone does not cause a person to become a terrorist any^ more than poverty alone causes somebody to become a criminal. >> he's insulting so many millions of reform minded muslims who are trying to reject and push back theocracy and the leader of the free world is saying well, these terror groups are sort of coming out of thin air and it's just sort of

kevin cork up early at the white house, kevin. >> i've covered the white house for years and usuallyonable intelligence, as you mention the american embassy closed in yemen. britain and france both closing them as well. and you probably already knew this, the american embassy there had already scaled back operations. but this is where things get complicated because when you tout successes in some place on occasion you have to walk it back. listen to the president describe the white house strategy in yemen back in 2010. >> the strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> successfully, that is the buzz word there. not so much right now. we'll continue to watch how things e involve. meanwhile the nation continues to mourn the death of kayla mueller, of course killed by the thugs and isis. just 26 years old. the aid worker from arizona. here once again is the president. >> it's as tough as anything that i do having a conversation with parents who understandably want, b

kevin cork is live at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: good morning., you see other leaders, other nation states making strong declarative decisions about what they need to do. but as white house officials like to tell me behind the scenes, what happens in terms of the diplomacy and the slow move you just don't see it and sometimes they can't even say it. as you know, the president met with king abdullah here at the oval office in the wake of that terrible tragedy that happened with that pilot. obviously just slaughtered by the criminals and isis. i want you to listen very carefully to how josh earnest, the press secretary, tried to sort of answer a question from our ed henry about what on earth are they doing here at 1600 pennsylvania avenue? >> when you said i don't have a reaction to it, how could the president yesterday say we're here. we support jordan. they're a key member of the coalition. they make this decision overnight. and you can't say whether or not you support the execution? >> the united states stands with our friends in jordan as they
