Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom 20150223

Who could strike with very little notice to our Intelligence Community our Law Enforcement community here at home. Bill what are people saying there. Reporter if there is a sense of unease or urgency 0er fear its the largest in america with 40 million visitors annually. We got up here after the mall was closed. But the tribune reported crowds were normal here ned. That after the Al Qaedaaffiliated Group Alshabaab issued a video which threatened attacks object this mall and in ement canada. Can d in edmonton canada. The video released by alshabaab reflects the new face we face. They are calling for attacks through internet, video and publications which means we need to respond militarily. Reporter the malt of america is not a the mall of america is not allowing the media inside the mall. They are going to put us across the mall and its 8 degree below zero as i speak to you today. They issued a statement saying there is no credible threat associated with the mall of america. Mall of america remains a very safe place that has a Security Force with a 24hour presence. Indianapolis is home to the langest Somali Community in the United States and there have been cases of somalis going back to somalia to fight with alshabaab. Patti ann isis releasing new propaganda tapes show Young Children training for battle. Socalled cubs in syria. And hostages being parade down the street in cages. This video is typical for what we have seen out of isis in style and with a clear message. It appears to dissuade kurdish fighters from taking part in any operations with isis and dissuade them from taking part on the offensive in months you will. It shows peshmerga fighters in orange jump suits. They are taunted and mocked. They are under viewed in a tvstyle like show. Being interviewed personal information thats being put up on the screen. So isis is trying to say we know a lot about these individuals, well put this out there to your friends and family. The fate of the men is not known. Its believed they have been killed or will be killed. The kurds are the only consistent fighting force against isis. This video seems to be trying to scare them away against any type of action against mosul. Patti ann there is a second video in which isis seems to be showing off it newest, youngest fighters. Reporter every day they try to shock the world. Now they are doing with it children as young as 5. Its 100 or so kid lined up, praying, reciting scriptures and being indoctrinated into this cult. It appears most of them are syrian children though there are reports some of them are children of fighters from other countries as well. Its chilling to see what they are doing to these children. Patti ann australia is wrapping up its response to potential Terror Threats. He abbott says its time to clamp down on australians who have joined isis, especially when they are receiving welfare. Australians who take up arms with terrorist troops especially when Australian Military personnel are fighting inning iraq should be dealt with accordingly. Patti ann he says the Terror Threat is growing at home and is harder to combat. Bill the family of Kayla Mueller says communication her captors started to break down once the white house agreed to trade american soldier Bowe Bergdahl for five taliban detainees at gitmo. During this time when kayla was being held the u. S. Traded five taliban prisoners for Bowe Bergdahl. They realized if they are going to let five people go for one person, why wont they do this or why wont they do that. Reporter thats the brother speaking there. Michael moore staff writer for weekly standard. The demand got greater they realize they had something. Thats a stunning statement from the brother. Its a morbid indication of a lot of the arguments against that Bowe Bergdahl swap. It wasnt that he had been accused of abandoning his hilt most. A lot of them are back in the field doing terrorism thing against america. And this trade has incentivized a lot of terrorist groups like isis to up the game. They know that this claim as this brother says, they could do something more, necessity could demand more pore some of these captors and its a terrible indication of what people were saying and arguing against that bergdahl swap. Bill the last question was did you feel why that trade was okay but not for kayla . The father explained that he asked the president that question when he was visiting at the white house. You can understand why the father what would wont do evening they could to bring back their daughter. The real problem is is the inconsistency. Why do this for a guy accused of deserting his post for these five bad guys and not for this innocent American Girl over there trying to do some good in the world. I think it calls into question what the administration is doing in response to these terrorist groups. Bill i wonder if this comes up today at the briefing. The father also expressed his frustrationing. The u. S. Policy about not paying ransom in return for those being held overseas. Thats a father who is living with a burden thats unmanageable. Its a question of consistency. If its good for the goose why isnt it good for the gander. Why didnt the administration do more. If what the brother says is correct, he has some answering to do. Well talk again. Thank you. Patti ann Rudy Giuliani trying to set the record straight on his controversial remarks about president obama. Bill well have a live update on the trial of the man accuse of gunning down chris kyle. Patti ann was american sniper snubbed by the academy . Call your mom or call your dad.

States that dont normally see these freezing conditions. Heavy snowfall ranging from 612 inches blanketing parts of the rockies. I thought i better do 34 inches at a time. It wont move in a foot of the snow. Making sure people can get out of their homes in case of an emergency. And people need to travel and get to where they need to go. Patti ann blasts of Winter Weather will continue in parts of the west and the northeast. Referring to is i will to isil as any part of the strategy is playing opening a battlefield they would like to us be on. I think calling them some form of islam give the group more dignity than it deserves. Bill is this the right approach today . Congresswoman march than macfall can y. He made the rounds yesterday. What did you think of that explanation . It makes no sense to me. The administration is spend more time explaining they are not going use certain words than they are p than they are putting a coherent extra injure together. Im not sure if they got the memo but these all call themselves radical islamists. Their root of what they have in their extreme version of terrorist organizations are all in islam. So we need to start with the facts and address the strategy in a way that uses all elements of national powrl but calls it what it is. Its bizarre to me they are spending so much time not calling it what it is. Bill what the president would say is he knows thats a recruiting tool for the jihadists and doesnt want to contribute to that. The other argument he will make is he doesnt want to elevate this group to defame the religion. Whats wrong with that argument . They are using a recruiting tool and using the internet and calling jihadists, they are tens of thousands of foreign fighters plus other areas of failed states and libya and somalia so they are using it as a recruiting tool. Reality is this is a hijacked version of islam and we need to call it what it is. And we need to put pressure on moderate Muslim Leaders to also call it what it is and address within their own 0 religion the fact that they have a problem that is global, its generational, and they need to be helping towlings counter this violent extremism. Bill general jack keane echoed the the same sent i am on Fox News Sunday yesterday. We should not per in mitt the moderate leaders to come to us and say this noilts islamist when it is. We should not fall into the trap and they should push them to challenging this theology that isis adopted. They must challenge it. Bill do you think thats happening now . I dont think its happening now. Secretary johnson, i appreciate sought things he and his organization said they are doing. But they have had a couple meetings around the country visiting with Muslim Leaders. But thats not enough. This is a global threat and here at home we should be concerned about the home grown threat as well as those with western passports and u. S. Pass ports that might be traveling to get training and come back to be a threat. A threat we learn from the military is capabilities and intent. If you have got this intent and they are using sophisticated means on the interest note recruit, motivate and inspire this jihadist mind set then we have to counter this with a much stronger strategy. Bill what jeh johnson said is that requires a whole of government approach. What does that mean . We use that term off in the military as well. You use a comprehensive approach using all elements of national power. We need to use the military in a much more comprehensive way to address this threat militarily, to destroy isil. But also use other elements of national powrl economics cutting off finances and cutting off extremism. These other elements are important but we need to address the fact that we have a failed military strategy that has been pin prick operations. Bill we are getting world overnight there were more hits taken out carried out in parts of iraq and eastern syria. Well talk about that next time. I ran Counter Terrorism operations in africa and weep watched alshabaab train thousands of terrorists and this administration did nothing about it because this administration didnt think it was a threat to us. And now they are trying to attack us at home. The Administration Needs to address this generational threat and they are failing right now. Pat report Academy Awards last night. Night. [ ] pat it wasnt all the song and dance. The the the oscars got political. Bill political. For over 19 million people. [ alex ] transamerica helped provide a lifetime of retirement income.

Reporter monterey is an hour east of nashville and they have just been tremendously hard hit here. Widespread spread power outages. You see this utility line laying on the ground. The pole basically snapped in laugh. Youyou can seat other end of the transformer standing. You can see there in the distance the rest of that power line, the tree fell on it with more than an inch of ice accumulate opening those trees and lines. That weight brought the trees and power lines snapping down to the ground and you can see some of the utility crews hard at work trying to get the pour restored in some of these rural areas up on the Cumberland Plateau. This always Higher Elevation than down in nashville so they got a lot more snow and a lot more ice. Conditions are very treacherous and icy here so the crews are working through a lot of obstacles. Mother nature not on their side. At one point 50,000 commerce were without power. We understand the up in has been greatly reduced. This is a common sight along the Cumberland Plateau. So we are reporting to you live from the Cumberland Plateau putnam county, monterey, an hour to the east of nashville tennessee. Bill erika really appreciate that. Oftentimes when you get a storm like this it melts pretty quickly, but thats not the case. Good luck, name there. Appreciate that. Patti ann Rudy Giuliani trying to set the record straight on his controversial remarks that president obama doesnt love america. He said my intend focus was the effect his words and actions have on the morale of the country and how it may damage his performance. Katie fox and marianne marsh thank you both for joining us. The quote we just read, do you accept it . Whenever you are explaining, you are losing. Rudy giuliani lost of what shred of credibility he had left. None of them will ever be president of the United States. And among them is scott walker. Patti ann he says he was hoping this would start a conversation about american leadership. He says american leaders have had a strong sense of optimism and do you agree with that . I want to address. Rudy giuliani got us through 9 11 he was in new york when 9 11 happened. So to say his best days are behind him it shows a lack of what his record is. President obama has since the beginning taken a blame america approach to the rest of the world and we are seeing the consequences of that as the rest of the world starts to crumble and as evil takes hold as america shows weakness. As a direct result president obama refusing to admit that america is exceptional and we have a role to play being the good force in the world. Reporter part the of the comment was obama wasnt brought up the way you and i were brought up through the love of his country. They say he was brought up by a white mother and white grandmother and most of this isnt racism. It has to be right up there with one of the most ridiculous things Rudy Giuliani has said or done. When you luke at Rudy Giulianis entire record, 9 11 was the exception, not the rule and he proved it with these statement. President obama is an exceptional leader because he represents the best of this country by the mere fact egg got elected president of the United States yot not once, but twice. He never cites him for that. The fact here is that Rudy Giuliani and the republicans kin continue to appeal. All of them dont understand president obama uses the same language president george w. Bush did the every single time. He points out the best of us so we can be bert and he points out our mistakes so we can be better still. You cant paint all republicans with this. President obamas career was start bid people who bombed the pentagon. So if that doesnt give you any idea where the president is coming from on his blame America First approach im not sure where to go from there. Lets talk about Hillary Clinton since you want to paint all the the 016 republican candidates with this broad brush. Hillary clinton started the Birther Movement that democrats love to go back to when they are criticizing gop candidates moving forward. If we want to talk criticism and history of barack obama lets start with the democrats who started this in 2007. Patti ann giuliani said any reluctance to hold up america and its ideals to our enemies weakens our message. Rudy giuliani never lets the facts get in the way of his sad story. Its pitiful and pathetic that Rudy Giuliani is going to be relegated to the dust bins of history by the way he conducts himself. We can use Rudy Giuliani as an example. A way to properly criticize government. Al qaeda is not on the run as we have been told. Isis is continuing their march across the middle east and russia is taking territory and we are just standing by because the president would rather act likes a moral equivalent between the west and the rest of the world and it doesnt exist. He need to stand up and take a page out of his leadership book in terms of how he conducted himself. Patti ann we have to leave it there. Thank you for joining us. Bill this is how they lining like it in daytona. A dramatic sprint to the finish to end it. Joey logiano become the second youngest daytona winner in history. Great day at daytona. Patti ann stunning video of a big i mayor taking down a potential terrorist. Bill well tell you why senator john mccain says hes ashamed and is now lashing out. Im ashamed of my country. Im ashamed of my president and im ashamed of myself that i havent done more to help these people. Oh im on the cookie air diet. You just. And thats it. I prefer real food fruit, nuts, and whole grains. Great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. More processed flakes look nothing like natural grains. Lets get real. Patti ann its not every day you see a lawmaker delivering justice firsthand. The jerusalem mayor and his bodyguard captured a man who stabbed a man the street. The mayor jumped from his car and his bodyguard drew his weapon. The victim was. Bill the waig we are watching between russia and ukraine. The ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine is showing more signs of unraveling fooling deadly bombing in the countrys second largest city. This appears to ba one in a series of violations in a ceasefire thats only weeks old. The ukrainians arent asking for american boots on the ground. They are asking for weapons to defend themselves and they are being slaughtered and the military is being shattered. This is a shameful chapter. Im ashamed of my president and im ashamed of myself that i havent done more to help these people. Its really heartbreaking. Bill what senator mccain is say can is Vladimir Putin has not paid any price. These are not loose words from senator mccain. He defended president obama in 2008. Hes saying america has not led and has to the done with it need to do to prevent an aggressive russia from forcing its will on ukraine. Instead of sending defensive weapons we send meals ready to eat. This is a deteriorating situation. Vladimir putin exploits ceasefires to gain more territory. John mccain is point at himself saying he wishes he could have done more. But its at the white house level. They seem to be hoping for peace. I think this criticism was more than that. This is what he said. Believe the german chance lower and the president. France legitimized the dismemberment of a country in europe. Its shameful. Hes going pat the lack of western will. I should have expanded my comments to begin with. This is the wests unwillingness to stand up for longtime International Norms about nation state sovereignty. He seem to be doing nothing and not standing alongside the ukrainians. Angela merkel is talking about gig peace a chance. We heard those words before. Dictators exploit weak words and use it to advance their tanks. Our leaders seem to believe these questions have been answered. And a series of could forensics they think will top you continue and thats not it. Bill i have more than 5,000 people dead. Why are we allowing it to continue. Be it the United States, germany, france. Right now they dont want to exacerbate a conflict or confrontation with Vladimir Putin. But thats where he continues to do what he does. Because we back a way and the west is on our heels he exploits that very opportunity. The equation has to be flipped completely. Those countries worried about a confrontation have to and strong and say well allow this confrontation no further and no longer. These countries want to believe through negotiation and through reconciliation these problems can be solved. Four not dealing with Vladimir Putin who wants to solve them, he wants to exploit them. The leader of the western block the United States is and sent from that table. Bill we had a map up there a moment ago. You cannot see it on this map but south of donetsk there is a town called mariupol, thats a port i. Its believed thats it and port city and it looks like thats what putin wants next. Its just like the question of crimea. And when he gets it he wont give it back. And he will use it to store the massive concessions from western countries. What they are saying are lies, what they are doing on the ground are complete deaccepting and they are acting rationally and strategically to expand their orbit and fear of influence. Patti ann taya kyle rushing home on a red eye flight, closing arguments set to begin in the socalled american sniper trial. Well have that plus this. Bill thats a wow of a rescue caught on video. Many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. And even though their dentures look clean, in reality theyre not. If a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. Thats why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. Polidents unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99. 99 of odor causing bacteria. For a cleaner, fresher brighter denture everyday. Well, a mortgage shouldnt be a problem your credit is in pretty good shape. Pretty good . I know i have a 798 fico score thanks to the tools and help on experian. Com. Kaboom. Well, i just have a few other questions.

Become a member of experian credit tracker and find out your fico score powered by experian. Fico scores are used in 90 of credit decisions. Bill amazing video of crews helping humpback whale caught in a fishing line. The workers for the local marine spank wary used a large harpoonlike device to cut it free. Patti ann closing arguments are expected to begin in the prime of Eddie Ray Routh, the man accused of killing chris kyle and his friend at a shooting range in texas. Casey stegall is live outside the courthouse in stephenville, texas. The prosecution calling rebuttal witnesses . Thats right. That was expected to happen first thing this morning. We received an alert that court has been canceled because we had an ice storm that swept through texas and lot of the local schools are closed so court is off today and will resume tomorrow. Butch the rebut pal witnesses took the stand friday. The prosecution calling two doctors. Both Mental Healthcare experts and experts in the field of freans is or criminal cases. Their job was to punch holes in defense witness testimonies early in the week that routh was schizophrenic and he was on a downward spiral. The prosecution finished up on friday with a psychiatrist who told the court that he does not believe the 27yearold former marine was suffering mental illness. He thinks it was prompted by drug and alcohol use since routh admitted to chronically spoking marijuana and drinking whiskey before going to the gunk range on that february afternoon patti ann. Patti ann how many witnesses to go. Reporter the prosecution has one more of those rebuttal witnesses. Possibly one of the victims of family members. After that we do expect to go into closing arguments. Opening arguments only lasted about an hour or so. Each side took 30 minutes. Then the jury would get this case. Thats assuming the weather cooperates, patti ann. Bill the secretary of defense talking about strategy to beat back and defeat isis. Bill fox news alert. The mall of america tightened security after a terrorist group linked to al qaeda, release as new video calling on muslims to attack western and jewish owned Shopping Malls, naming that minnesota mall in particular. Homeland security taking this seriously. They say there is no evidence of a plot in the works urging americans stay vigilant. Details ahead this hour of americas newsroom. Meanwhile congress coming back to work today after a week off with a big challenge finding a way to cut a deal Funding Department of Homeland Security and president S Immigration plans. There seems to be no progress. About four days to figure this out. That is where we begin this new hour of americas newsroom. That has time with her family. Im bill hemmer. And welcome, patti ann. Patti ann im Patti Ann Browne in for martha maccallum. Republicans want to strip funding for those measures. Some on the hill, including House Speaker john boehner are warning they would let the Homeland Security department shut down. Homeland security secretary jeh johnson says what is unacceptable. What is going on want to defund the executive actions and do it a way that holds up entire budget for Homeland Security. That is unacceptable from a Homeland Security view. Im talking to my friends on the hill democrat and republican about the importance of lets get on with funding the department of Homeland Security. Bill chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel getting ready for a busy week. Good morning on capitol hill. What republicans will argue, democrats in the senate are holding this thing up. They will argue even if the delays funding happens, the Top Priorities for Homeland Security will still be held up. So with that as a foundation is there a sign after breakthrough here. Reporter bill, not yet. The senate is set to take the fourth attempt to take up the housepassed dhs funding bill. All eyes on eight Senate Democrats who at some point publicly crested some concern with president s obama executive action. So far, manchin mccaskill, donnelly heitkamp, franken king, an independent tester and carper are voting with democrats to filibuster so the bill has been stuck in the senate. The house Homeland Security chairman has offered this appeal for action. I would hope they would take it up in the fat to allow for debate. In the final analysis we can not shut down a National Security agency when the threat environment is so high out there. I think that would be unwise and dangerous course of action. Reporter again we expect a procedural vote in the senate later today. If that doesnt work it will be time for plan b bill. Bill lets talk about that. If those Senate Democrats dont stop the filibuster what then would happen mike . Reporter some are arguing let the courts handle this after a texas judge issued an injunction on president obamas executive action. There are good signs the courts will rebuke the president for going beyond his authority. Others are saying they simply do not want to risk a shut down. I dont believe we will. We now have an exit sign and that is, the federal Court Decision saying that the president s actions unilaterally are unconstitutional. And i think weve got a great argument to the United States Supreme Court where it will go. Reporter some other options may be a short term continuing resolution funding Homeland Security for another month or two. Well get a better sense when lawmakers travel back from the home districts and home states later today. Bill you got it. Mike emanuel, well be in contact. Thank you, mike. Reporter thank you, sir. Patti ann the new second irtoday of Defense Ash Carter holding a closeddoor meeting with top military officials and diplomats in kuwait. The main topic . The strategy against isis.

Troops. His thoughts calling this islamic extremism when and if he would authorize the use of u. S. Ground troops. I think we need to be convinced any use of our forces is necessary, is going to be sufficient. That weve thought through not just the first step but the second step and the third step. Reporter there are currently 3,000 u. S. Troops in iraq and nine thousand u. S. Troops next door in kuwait, patti ann. Patti ann jennifer, the defense secretary made some news from afghanistan. What did he announce . Reporter he said that the u. S. Was reconsidering a timeline for withdrawal of the remaining 10,600 troops in afghanistan. Our priority now is to make sure this progress sticks. That is why president obama is considering a number of options to reinforce our support for president gaun anys Security Strategy inconcluding possible changes to the timeline for our drawdown of u. S. Troops. Reporter adding the president is considering keeping a u. S. Military presence in the south near the spiritual birthplace of the taliban leaving the Kandahar Airfield open for use by u. S. Special operators. Jennifer griffin reporting live. Thank you. Bill fox news alert. Officials in nigeria saying a suicide bombing who attack ad market was a young girl perhaps no more than 10 years old. That blast happened over the weekend in nigerias northeast. No group claiming responsibility but it bears all the signs of similar bombings by the group boko haram. Raising fears the group is using kidnap victims to carry out attacks. Five people including the bomber died in that blast. The families of three missing girls are begging them to return to england. Those british teenager boarded a plane to turkey last week. Authorities believe theyre trying to get to syria to join isis. There is a growing trend of young girls and women interested in joining the group, a trend their families say has to stop. It is a really cool, evil cruel and evil thing to do, convince Young Children, young girls, highly intelligent my little sister is a a student to convince such young girls at that age so vulnerable and so it is just wrong. It is evil. It is really evil thing to do. Youre breaking up entire families. Patti ann the families say the girls ages 15 and 16 showed no signs of extremism. Bill the nations republican governors, meeting with president obama, less than an hour from now in the white house. Is there Common Ground to be found at this meeting . Kevin corke from the north lawn. Kevin, immigration, the order there, is there any agreement on that . Reporter lets be honest about it. You know there wont 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. He said the fact white sus asking for stay asking for status quo. That is not what the president has done by this executive action, he suspects that the high court will side with them or any existing court that will review this case will side with them. E about obamacare and aid to the states whether the governors take federal money. That will come up. What will come of it. Reporter no question. Were talking big dollars. 36 states fighting not to have these subsidies. Millions of americans are counting on these subsidies so they can be covered under obamacare. The again real issue here is, can the law as it stands the Affordable Care act really compel the states to do so . Right now a lot of republican governors are saying listen, we cant afford this. This is not what we sent you to do. They will continue to fight for this. You will hear spirited conversation bill, if you will, as they have the meeting at white house coming up. Bill indeed. Kevin, well watch it from here. Kevin corke from the white house today. Patti ann. The terror group has done it before. The group behind the mall attack in kenya is setting its sites on the biggest maul in the United States. Well have that. Also this. Very, very bad. Roads are terrible right now. I wouldnt be out if i didnt have to work. Bill stay home right . If only you could. Sending temperatures plunging. Dangerous icy roads. Brutally cold temperatures slamming the southeast. How bad will it get . Were live in the extreme Weather Center to let you know about that. Patti ann Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker facing criticism asking questions about the president s faith but should he have faced that question . Well debate that fair and balanced. Made it clear he doesnt want to engage in this discussion. Maybe he wont be able to pull that off. There is huge doublestandard. What is interesting over the weekend, two serious Mainstream Media journalists have admitted this doublestandard. Across america people, like Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes. With noninsulin victoza. For a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didnt get me to my goal. So i asked my doctor about victoza. He said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. Victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. Its taken once a day, any time. And the needle is thin. Victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. Victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. Victoza is not insulin. Do not take victoza if you have a personal or Family History of medullary Thyroid Cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. Tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. Serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas pancreatitis which may be fatal. Stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. Taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. If your pill isnt giving you the control you need. Ask your doctor about noninsulin victoza. Its covered by most health plans. Does all greek yogurt have to be thick . Does it all have to be the same .

Al qaedalinked terror group that massacred 61 people at a Shopping Mall in kenya now releasing a new chilling video calling for an attack on the largest Shopping Mall in our nation. Homeland security secretary jeh johnson urging maul visitors to be on the lookout for anything unusual. We just revamped our if you see something Say Something campaign at the super bowl last month and so Public Engagement Public Awareness, is critical. Americans should still feel that they are free to associate, they are free to go to public gatherings but it is critical that we have Public Awareness and Public Participation in our efforts. Christopher voss is a fbi former special agent and terrorism expert. Also managing director of insight security. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. My pleasure. Patti ann dhs says there is no specific credible thought. How seriously would you take this threat . Well i like at this two ways. One in sort of the awareness issue almost look at this as a Public Safety announcement. We need so look out for each other in our society. This is a reminder when we go out to public places, look out for each other. Simple things be aware where entrances and exits are, similar to a fire drill. Any other sort of thing. Just to take care of each other. Now what does this tell us about alshabaab . What this really tells us theyre low on money. They needed to do announcement, followers in the area of this mall, not doing anything, make them feel guilty for sitting on their hands. There are a lot of people sympathetic to alshabaab want to shop at mall. They dont want anything to do with violence. Sympathetic to the causes back home. Theyre trying to get them to send money. This is a little bit after guilt trip on sparse alshabaabs part send pounds. We mead look out pour each other, ache care of each other and be aware of our surroundings out and about. Patti ann is there mig we can learn from the kenya mall attack of 2013 . It is aware issue. Understand where the entrances and exits are for any sort of emergency. Even if its a fire. How to get safely out and help other people get out. You should also be conscious patti ann is that enough though . Jeh johnson said visitors to the mall of america should be particularly careful. Dhs said it provided local Law Enforcement and private sector partners with relevant information about the video. Can we aassume more is being done behind the scenes other than just giving local cops information about a video . Is there a plan behind the scenes here . Well i think there has been a plan all along. I mean they know where the funding and the recruitment comes for alshabaab. They have been working very hard behind the scenes to make good relationships in the community so that if someone wants to do something violent that the intelligence is gathered. Jeh johnson and department of Homeland Security have been looking at this area for a while because there is a large Somali Community nearby. Patti ann johnson actually says he personally visited minneapolis to meet with Islamic Community leaders, supposedly to accomplish what youre saying, to get any kind of information, any kind of cooperation. Do you suppose that meeting accomplished some of that . You know i think even the fact that showed up and showed them that he cares, whenever leaders like that show up in a community and have direct facetoface cant, and if nothing else, show respect for them, that does a lot to create good relationships in the community and by and large the Somali Community is living there because they want to have a decent place to live and work. They dont want to be part of the violence. So they want the lawabiding aspects of the community to root out the few people that might be prone to violence. Tell us more about alshabaab. It is based in somalia. It is affiliated with al qaeda. How would you compare it to isis to some of these other groups . Well, theyre struggling. Theyre a criminal gang. They are clearly with nothing going on right now, theyre in a publicity business like all terrorists are and they actually see themselves being overshadowed by isis who are running all these videos. They actually get jealous of one another. In my view them showing a video at this point in time is telling us that theyre low on funds and theyre trying to get their followers to give them more support. Patti Ann Christopher voss, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Bill very interesting. 20 minutes now past the hour. She is being called the drill sergeant from hell.

Meteorologist maria molina live in the fox Weather Center with more on this coming up on march, maria. Whats up . Were hoping for some kind of a change in the weather pattern but doesnt look like that will be happening at least in the short term. Throughout the work week well continue to see cold arctic air impacting a large chunk of the country. We have several winter warnings in effect and advisories across parts of the interior northeast up into new england and upper great lakes and upper midwest. What that means were looking at dangerous amounts of cold. If you leave your skin exposed for a long time or head outdoors for longer period of time you will look at issues out there. Please be careful. Some numbers out here are quite incredible. Youre looking at temperatures or current windchill temperatures cold as 20 degrees below zero. Cold windchills across parts of the plains. Even in tulsa midland, texas, youre looking at windchills only in Single Digits this morning. This renewed threat for arctic air mass to continue time pack the country continues throughout this work week. Tuesday morning still cold out there. Louisville only temperatures in the teens. Wednesday morning stays cold out there. Continues for thursday even friday so continuing to see very cold temperatures out there. We do have Winter Weather early this morning across portions of oklahoma and texas. That will stay in place throughout the day. Going to be big issue in terms of travel. Texas panhandle looking at snowfall. Overall, totals across the plains will remain generally light. But this will be enough to produce issues on the roadways. The heavy stuff really concentrated across portions of the rockies. That is looking potentially a foot of snow. Even locally higher amounts. Moisture across the midatlantic bringing light snow there. Bill, i want to show you Winter Weather advisories. Very widespread and freezing rain, a concern all the way down to areas just north of houston and also across parts of louisiana and mississippi. The cold arctic air impacting places typically we see it, midwest and northeast but down into the parts of the southern plains. Bill wow. She is still here. Still here. Go away. Bill thanks, maria. Talk to you real soon. Patti ann . Patti ann Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker taking heat for his answer to a question about president obamas faith but why was walker asked about that in the first place . Is there a doublestandard and how candidates from different parties are treated by media . That debate coming up. Bill hoping to go where no one has gone before. Well talk live with a finalist for a trip to the planet mars. First, here is many solve his competition. I love science. I worked in hazardous environments. Im resourceful.

And ukrainian Officials Say continued attacks from russian backed rebels are delaying the pullback of ukrainian artillery and killing the proposed cease fire. Officials say they wont withdraw the equipment until the attacks stop. Republican governor out of wisconsin, scott walker taking heat for his response when asked by the Washington Post whether or not he thinks president obama is a christian. Quote, i dont know. Ive never been asked ive never asked him that. Youve asked me to make statements about people that i havent had a conversation with about that. How could i say if i know either of you are a christian . What about that . President of conservative review and Fox News Contributor and president and contributor to the hill. Com, good morning to you as we hit here on a late monday in february. The suggestion is that democrats are not asked this same question. Are they or not . This is the perfect example of the double standard with the media, bill. And, you know, instead of them asking the potential republican candidates about what theyre going to do should they get an office to turn our country around instead theyre playing the gotcha game. There are important issues they should ask the individuals. I sis is a huge concern among americans. Theyre ignoring what americans are most concerned about. Isis is one of them and others are the failures of obamacare. What are you going to do if youre in office to fix obamacare . You would rather see questions on politics. Absolutely. Double standard or no . No. And context is important here. Rudy giuliani made comments he made and i think the president needs better people. He could have answered questions and said the president says hes a christian. I believe hes a christian. I believe he loves his country but i disagree with his policies and leave it at that. Every time in any party, democrat, republican, doesnt matter, if you have surrogates out there speaking for you, youre accountable for what your surrogates say. Could he have just said hes a christian, thats what he said and he didnt find that of a concern. You would have to ask president obama if hes a christian. Im sure hes not the only person who has that question but the bottom line is the media has not did not vet president obama like they should have so were going back in time for something we have no control over. They should be more focused steve hayes was asked about this yesterday on fox. This is how he addressed the issue. I think if you look at the entire part of the interview that the Washington Post published, actual news there was scott walker taking on that questioning saying look. Im not going to certain myself with the trivia stuff. I dont know. It was the same response he made with Rudy Giuliani. You were making the point about the double standard. Others would suggest if joe biden were to make a misstep, democrats are not asked about that. They are. Theyre not asked to clarify the vice president. They are. It goes back to the point, if you have surrogates out there speaking on your behalf, especially if youre a campaign Hillary Clinton had to go through this. Can you name one case where a democrat was asked to respond to joe biden . I dont know about joe biden specifically but there are democrats that are being asked to respond to things that theyre saying all the time as a pundit. How many times am i asked even as a pundit how many times am i asked to repeat al sharpton . It happens all the time. And that unfortunately that is what happens but it happens go ahead. They should be asking obama wants to fundamentally transform our country, his Energy Policy is one of those ways that hes trying to do that. He should be empowering individuals to have more disposable income to be employed in jobs. When youre harming the energy industry, youre putting americans lives and future i think, in jeopardy. Why do you think that doesnt happen . He doesnt see america he wants america the whole line the line of questioning that youre suggesting he does not get. Again its a double standard and again, the media is not doing Due Diligence for americans. Theyre in the hole with the white house, covering for obamas failed policies and this is the conversation that they are trying to distract americans from. Hes getting those questions but i think if you go back a little bit, the context of these questions to Governor Walker is extraordinarily important. Youre responsible for what your surrogates say and his clumz clumsily out of responding to Rudy Giuliani in syria, yes, i dont think he should answer questions about whether the president is christian or not. I agree with that. Its a double standard. I dont think its a double standard. Absolutely it is z. Theyre held to the same standard. They are not. If you have a question what the president believes on a policy issue deal with that. If you have to respond to Rudy Giuliani, isolate him, too. Then its distracting you. Its the grandest distraction from obamas failures of his policies for our country and what the media is doing is really covering for that bringing up these other topics such as this one so that this is what were talking about and again, were not talking about isis, not talking about his failed Energy Policy. Not talking about Governor Walkers reform in wisconsin. That as well. Thats why theyre going after him. There will be time for all of that. Thank you. Appreciate you coming in today. 36 minutes past the hour. Bill an illinois teen is alive after narrowly escaping a fiery crash. The crash happened saturday in chicago on the citys historic lake shore drive. The dramatic rescue unfolded after the teen lost control of his s. U. V. And hit a tree head on. Bystanders rushed to the wreckage and pulled him out literally seconds before the vehicle exploded. He was unresponsive when we pulled him out of the car. The fire the smoke got to him. It got to us pulling him out. The teen was hospitalized with head and leg injuries but is recovering. The cause remains under investigation. The american sniper murder trial coming to a close with the man who killed chris kyle suffering from insanity or did he know right from wrong . A jury is about to decide. And an incredible sight for people to see if two states. What caused this rocket ball in the sky . We seen a bright light and the best way i can describe it it looked like a large firework but then there was a big ball of fire behind it. That is one of the more icon yik photos turning 70 today. U. S. Marines raising the american flag. Before it was all over 7,000 americans were dead and another 19,000 wounded. Some troops who fought on eeiwo jima were marines. American sniper murder trial delayed today because of weather, leaving one more day until jurors are expected to hear closing arguments in the case. Ex marine Eddie Ray Routh is accused of killing chris kyle and chat littlefield two years ago. His attorneys say routh was legally insane. Prosecutors rebutt that defense and our fox news Senior Analyst joins us now and hes been watching the testimony. Its unfortunate when guilt or innocence comes down to a squaring match between experts but thats what this is. Theres no question he fired the bullets that killed two guys. What was going on between his ears at the time . Did he know right from wrong . He puts on an expert who says he didnt know right from wrong. He was so deranged by what happened to him in the military and throughout his life from drug use that he really thought that chris kyle was going to kill him and the only way to save his only life was to kill chris and even after he did it he didnt know what he did was wrong. Government expert says the opposite. He had tremendous remorse afterwards. Thats an indication he knew what he did was wrong. But he also acknowledges the states witness, that there was impairment due to drug use. Yes. Its obvious that routh does not think the way normal people do if theres you know theres a range of normality. He was a very, very very heavy drug user and that has impaired his brain. The question is did it prevent him from knowing right from wrong . Now, i watched the testimony and i believe that the defense expert was a far better expert. He was just more credible. The governments expert was an academic who was testifying on the basis of theory. Nevertheless, in texas it is the defendants burden to show that he was insane rather than as laws in most states the governments burden to show that he is sane and jurors are not likely to let somebody off the hook in a case of murder because of what was going on in his head. So i dont know that this defense will work. Well find out by the end of the week. Its been postponed today. Theyll be back tomorrow. A few more rebuttal witnesses and then click closing arguments and well see what happens. Theres another trial going on very upsetting situation where you have a grand peoriamother accused in the death of her 9yearold grnd daughter. She made the granddaughter run for four hours because she lied about candy. The grandmother is insisting she died from other medical causes but lawyers for the prosecution say she was severely dehydrated, she may have been made to carry firewood. What do you think of the case . This is another case where the principle is in the same as the american sniper case. That is experts disa a groeagreeing with each other. The girl died right after this forced twohour run. The question is did she have other ailments in her body or did the doctors mistreat her . Theres a real, viable as i understand it substantial medical malpractice case that the girls father filed against the hospital to which the girl was taken and his doctors and lawyers in that case have argued that they could have saved her if they did the right thing but they didnt do the right thing. So again, alabama is the same as texas in a criminal case the defendant must prove the affirmative defense. It wasnt my fault. It was the hospitals fault. So this womans picture was on the screen. Th hire doctors to examine the records and testify as expert witnesses in her behalf. Then it was the hospital that killed the granddaughter, not the grandmother. You know, just looking at it as the basic facts, forcing a 9yearold girl to run for two straight hours thats horrific. Absolutely horrific. Its certainly impairing a child. Its certainly harmful to the child. There are certainly lesser included offenses in here for which she could be found guilty. The issue is did this running cause her death or what caused her death . Did the running contribute to the death but Something Else caused it . Shes exposed to the Death Penalty here. Theyre trying to get the jury to convict for something less than first degree murder so that shell spend time in jail and have a life afterwards rather than be executed. How much does this separate medical malpractice civil suit come into the criminal trial . All of it. It hasnt been tried yet but the allegations will come in the medical records will come in. The doctors who examined the medical records for the father of the girl who is the son of the defendant, if you follow me hes hired lawyers and doctors to bring about the medical malpractice case. All of them not the lawyers but the doctors will testify in this case to try to demonstrate to the jury that this girl died because the doctors dropped the ball at the hospital not because the grandmother made her run for two hours. That does not exclude the grandmothers behavior. It just lessens the crime for which the grandmother is likely to be convicted. All right. Two interesting and tragic cases. Judge, thank you as always. Youre welcome. Thank you. Fox news alert from washington. Fox news confirming the Keystone Pipeline bill is expected to be sent to the president tomorrow. The president said he will veto the bill. Takes about a 2 3 vote and well, it takes a 2 3 vote in both bodies of congress. There are 62 ayes in the senate but the magic number to overcom the veto is at 67. Well let you know what comes of this here. So who wants to be a real life martian . A lot of people. They are willing to give up just about everything they know for a oneway trip to the red planet. And you are about to meet one of them next. I would be an excellent person to send to mars. You see, on mars you may need to dig a hole to survive the radiation and im your man. Now . Can i at least put my shoes on . If your bladder is calling the shots. You may have a medical condition called overactive bladder. Or oab youve got to be kidding me. Ive had enough its time to talk to the doctor. Ask your doctor how myrbetriq may help treat.

Folks in northern florida are getting a look at a possible meteor. Huge fire ball lighting up the night sky late saturday. One woman managed to catch the amazing sight on her surveillance camera and many witnesses say they also heard a loud boom or explosion as it passed. Nasa says it may have been a meteoroid in the atmosphere. There were more than 100 reports from florida to georgia. I would like to go to mars because im curious. I would like to go to mars because i believe that that planet may hold the answers to some of the greatest unknowns that exist in science. Thats one of many now trying to get a oneway ticket to mars. Would you take that ride . Epic list of more than 200,000 volunteer voyagers now whittled down to less than 100. They are competing for a spot on a team that will travel to the red planet to establish a human colony. Ben is one of the finalists live out of los angeles today. Good morning to you. Welcome to meshs news room. Why do you think you have the right stuff . Thats a good question. Im not an engineer. Im not an astro physicist but i am an artist and i think if were going to create a permanent settlement on mars that youre going to need artists. I think art is vital, art is necessary in any healthy, thriving culture and i want to be a part of that. Tell me about the competition so far. What kind of questions are they asking . What kind of an individual are they looking for . I think theyre looking for someone who is stable who is not some you know crazy looney who wants to go to mars and play board games and just hang out, who is serious about it who is grounded. Theyre asking questions like, is this real for you . Is this something that you would leave your family for . If theyre going to invest eight years of astronaut training they want to be sure to get the return back. So why are you willing to do that then . Some have suggested this is a oneway ticket. Oh man. Lots of reasons. Adventure, curiosity, you know more than that to help inspire the world. I think that is lacking in todays age of space exploration. We need to get the focus back on it. The company is called mars one, right . Dutch non profit group. It will take a billion dollars to pull this off. Should we take this company seriously . Its going to take around six billion to pull it off. And i think you need to be realistic. Were only going to get the funding if the Television Show reality Television Show actually happens if it gets off the ground if it gets the funding it needs. The olympics is a model theyre looking at to help raise the money but yeah, thats a big hurdle and i think that is probably the biggest hurdle from stopping this from happening. When you take about a oneway ticket i think people think self induced suicide. Youre not in that category. Youre only willing to make this trip if it even comes to pass if the intent is to establish a human colony on mars. Do i have that clear . Absolutely. I dont want to go just to go. I dont want to get there and cross that off the list and say we did it and then die. I want to go because i want to help inspire the world for years to come and i want to take the first steps off this planet. I think thats a vital, vital thing for humanity to do towards the future. I imagine thats an interesting conversation to have with your family. Ben, do you think this will happen . I want it to happen. I hope that it happens. I know there are again, there are huge rurlgdzhurdles to overcome. I have to hope i have to trust. Otherwise, i shouldnt be spending eight years of my Life Training for a program thats not going to get off the ground. A long way to go literally in many ways from santa rosa california. Ben, thanks for sharing your story. Well follow this and see if it gets traction. My pleasure. Thank you. Terrorist video urges attacks against u. S.
