Stick up for Navy Sharpshooter chris kyle. One is a genuine north korean quack, the other a genuine american hero. But kyle is vile because he killed a lot of bad guys even though the iraqi insurgents killed a whole lot of american lives. Kyle was a hatefilled killer who enjoyed doing what he was doing, not a word about isis, savages executing teenage boys and decapitating western hostages who clearly relish what theyre doing. No no, no, they get a pass. The hero who protected this idiots right to say this kind of crap does not. But the New York Post notes it is a tough sell for these leftist loons even among fellow loons, because american sniper has already received six oscar nominations, including best picture. Promising signs that not all on the left are sitting on a ledge. Some recognize the difference between a farce and a force. And if you are going to stand up for folks right to see the farce, would with it kill you to defend the honor of a guy who was such a clear and undeniable force . Media analyst stan [inaudible] and National Reviews katherine ti measuring m. Katherine, it is hypocritical is it not . Of course it is. Their opinions are all over the place, if you look at seth rogen, he tweeted that american sniper reminded him of the movie playing in the third act of inglorious bastards. Then he said i would never compare it to that i said it reminded me because they both had snipers in it. No, you didnt. He also said compare isnt the same thing, its a big difference between that and reminded me. No, there isnt. You dont know what words mean or you think that we dont. Its just all so neil he was trying to dial that back, but the irony in his case was he defending the right to go ahead and see a movie that the North Koreans didnt want you to see, and were told even contemplating terror if you did see it so wouldnt the better part of valor have been to just shut up in his case . Oh, absolutely. Youre not out of your mind. Theres cognitive dissonance in hollywood. Freedom of expression for us but not when it comes to films we dont like. And a lot of them havent seen this movie because its not a prowar movie at all. Its Clint Eastwoods best work, and what it does with clear eyes is show the reality of war and the effects on a family, chris kyles family and the ultimate effect after four tours of duty this great valorfilled american melted down as many do in the military showing the great sacrifice that they all have for all of us and we should be eternally grateful. Neil but it was a mixed bag for the movie, right in Clint Eastwood did not get a nomination as best director but maybe theres still some hangover from his support of mitt romney. I dont know katherine, im not here to politicize this. I am here, though, to step back and say, obviously, not everyone in hollywood bought some of the farleft view of this flick, that it was just glorifying something horrible. They felt it was good enough solid enough persuasive enough, powerful enough to warrant attention, right . Of course. Like jane fonda said she loved it. But if you look at someone like lindy west, i dont know if her problem was it was too prowar she said oh, he knew what he was doing, and he loved what he was doing. Really . Does she know him personally . Neil well i think she goes back to the book in which he laments he wasnt able to get more of these guys terrorists. Yeah, i think its okay to love killing terrorists. She just loves to hate men also. Thats got a lot to do with it. Neil james im wondering if mixed messages some on the left when they say things like that, really just a comedy and a farce, and a goofball movie. A funny movie. But to equate that and say that takes a certain amount of bravery and this doesnt even warrant, you know, going out to see it period, it just, it sounds so overthetop weird, right . I mean, it is weird. Look, the left embraces this academic secularism that looks at edginess as some sort of value when its devoid of moral force, and the fact is that Clint Eastwoods vision shows clearly, a hero chris kyle and villains as the iraqi insurgents. That happens to be reality. And, you know, what really caught their attention is the fact that it did twice the box Office Anyone expected, got the six Academy Awards neil yeah, its drawing attention. A score of a which means it has legs itll be one of the top films of the year. Neil hope springs eternal that hollywood isnt always on the same page here because it did get all these nominations that the extreme left arguments notwithstanding. Any wane to anyway, what sets an american sniper apart from these other military movies. Safing private ryan didnt get half this grief. What do you make of it . I think they look at that as a historical thing the and, you know, a lot of hollywood eliteses, they dont put that into the same category as they put into this modern fight neil world war ii the greatest generation, very different. This a far more, wellregarded war, right . Sure. But war is war. And, you know thats the thing that i think a lot of these people in hollywood just dont get. And i hate categorizing a group of people, you know . Theres certain people that are the loudest in hollywood, you know . Alec baldwin who i have great regard for as actually a comedian and an actor needs to learn to just throttle back a little bit shut that mouth when neil what do you mean not all of hollywood . This movie would not have gotten the nominations it did. Exactly. And i think Clint Eastwood holds a lot of weight in this. The fact that he chose this, he didnt just make a movie that prowar, he didnt just make a war movie, he made a movie about the struggles of a warrior and their family. And i think, you know, hollywood needs to really look at that. Heres the main thing though you know honor exists in all of us and we are at battle with honor. When you do honorable things youre humbled inside. But when you battle against honor and disrespect people who uphold good things, when your head hits the pillow at night, you know that. And so these types of people tend to have more chatter in everything that they do because theyre trying to hide the fact that theyre not honorable people. Michael moore, seth rogen, you know, seth rogen goes out and makes a movie about killing a world leader and then turns around when the entire country is rallying around him and defiles the thing that actually wins his freedom. I think these people neil yeah. Kyle provided the opportunity to do whatever whatever these guys want to say and do. And if they knew the love that these people like kyle, like myself, the people that serve and im talking about everybody. Anybody that swears an oath to uphold the constitution if they knew the love and honor that existed in them maybe they would take a step back and look at it a different way. Neil let me ask you the navy seals and, obviously, i dont want to give anything away in the movie kyle was wrestling with, you know, should i i kill this woman and her child because she might be having something that could harm u. S. Marines, you guys have to wrestle with that all the time. And that scene that played out to audiences abroad, muslims abroad. Neil in these dangerous parts of the world does that, you know, reignite the antiamericanism thats probably already out there . It shouldnt because the world needs the wake up and realize that these are the combatants now. These are the people that these bad people are going to use to do this. And ill tell you this, you know, myself and i know my brothers in the sale seal teams and chris kyle when they do the job, this is a movie, and you have to realize that. It was a good movie but its not real. Its not reality. When chris kyle was doing that job, if he saw the threat, there was no Second Thought in it. He did he does a professional job just like a cop when he sees that somebody is guilty of a crime, they put the cuffs on em. When chris kyle saw there was a threat, he eliminated that threat, and then he went on about his day. We worry about these things afterwards, but when were in the heat of what we do and we do our job we do it just like your crewmen on the set just like yourself just like Law Enforcement or firemen, its a professional job. Neil well jonathan youre being very kind, but theres a big difference between you putting things on the line and me putting a period at the end of the prompter. Thank you, my friend, for your service. Thank you. Neil in the meantime, you think its cold outside now, well, you have not seen anything yet. They challenge us.

Neil brace yourselves, that winter storm that just hit texas is making its way up the northeast this weekend. This storm is going to be one of the sloppier ones weve seen and maybe a preview of coming attractions. Spell it all out for us, joseph. Or. Well, this is coming out of the gulf of mexico in a classic fashion. The air maas over the eastern part of the United States not cold enough to sustain all snow in the big cities of new york and philadelphia so its sloppy; it snows, it rains, goes back and forth. Northern and western suburbs get a few inches of snow, but the problem is this is the beginning. We have another system coming right on its tail probably going to wallop chicago on sunday, make it to the eastern seaboard on monday brutally cold arctic air behind that, and then it really starts opening up. We have set up for a phenomenal february cold 1st5th and i think, neil, this is going to run the entire gauntlet right through march, a belownormal weather pattern. Weve noticed it this winter and something weve been saying it starts, it stops, we had the big november, came up for december, we had the cold three weeks, its been milder for a week, now this is going to hit and hold, and we may see some february cold especially over northeast. Ive been describing it Epic Proportions neil what is Epic Proportions . Well, it could hit 0 a few nights in new york city. Were talking last time i was on the other cavuto show, we targeted the period of january 26thfebruary 10th, and i think thats going to be right with gangbusters. You folks in the plains you enjoy another four, five days of mild weather but the cold will be pushing into the east and start working its way back in the means in a week to ten days, and the entire country by the time we get to february 1st5th will be brutal from the Central Plains all the way to the east coast and centered in the northeast. And the snow is starting the fly now. Were starting to see that. Neil yeah. Were seeing more cold than snow though. Is that because it is so cold . Whats the deal . I think theyre going to go hand in hand. Usually likes a white carpet and puts a snow down first, thats the way the weather works a lot of times. If the snow the storms represent the clash that is taking place in the overall general pattern, so the atmospheres cooling down, so you see storminess and then the cold hits. Ill tell you what, im even looking at the period next weekend into early the following week for another storm coming up out of the gulf of mention eco, so i think this pattern is loaded. I think a lot of people just like the past two winters, remember, two years ago it went right into spring. Last year it got started early, kept going. This year i think were going to see coldest february weve seen at least since 2007 in the eastern part of the United States, i think this is going to roll on into march and perhaps april. Neil jeez. Arent you the bearer of good news. Joe, good seeing you. Thanks for having me. Neil the same week democrats forced republicans to vote on wh real. Apparently 99 of them said it was. Democrats should be put on record about the debt problem and admit that it is very real. I think thats a brilliant idea. I dont know if theyll jump at that chance though, what do you think . I dont think so. But i think they should take a few more chances and get them to admit some things that theyve been doing. Maybe, for example a Free College Education isnt actually free that we do have a debt problem. Were spending more than we take in, and now our debt is up around 18 trillion, and the National Debt per capita currently is about 58,000 per person and rising. So i think its fair to say if you know, were going to admit theres Climate Change and i think you should admit we have a spending problem, we have a debt problem. Maybe also that were at war with radical islam, you know . Neil yeah. You could start a series. I heard from some republicans who said the reason they voted yes on the Climate Change thing is they took it literally. Do you think climate is changing . Yes, they voted for it. Right. Neil now, some of them were being snide here but what is to stop congress from saying, all right, well, the debt is the problem, but leave it at that . That theyre not going to do squat about it . Well thats the thing, you know . If we want to have a congress which is truly bipartisan which i believe the president called for multiple times in his state of the union address, then i think we should also play the same game and get them to admit things that are actually true right now. How about the fact that you know Jonathan Gruber made a mistake how about obamacare isnt actually helping Young Americans like we were told it would . You know, there are so many things that you can play this game with, and while i thought the vote was kind of, you know, dumb to say the least, there are bigger problems to be worrying about in our country, you know at the same time if its going to get people on record to admit things, then i neil no i think its a brilliant idea. If youre going to put that on the table, you want climate you may as well keep going,. Neil you have a lot more wisdom in your young years young lady, than all these fogies. Ashley, thank you very much. Thank you neil. Neil well the king is dead. Long live the chaos . How the death of an ally could mean weve just lost the middle east entirely. Im maria bartiromo, he is the cover man for this weeks forbes magazine, Brent Saunders sits down with me in a fox business exclusive on monday opening bell 9 a. M. Eastern on the fox business network. Ill see you in new york. Neil all right time for neils feel, after the saudi King Abdullahs death should we be worried because moderates are dying or losing in the middle east and were losing allies fast . Jim phillips says that the kings death could not have come at a worse time. Whats really going on is you get this sense, jim, and ive heard others express it, that the middle east is shifting toward the crazies here with the potential of the crazies taking over and getting in charge. Is that a legitimate concern . I think youre certainly right, neil. This is a very precarious time not only for saudi arabia but for the u. S. And other allies. Just yesterday we saw the fall of a key ally against alqaeda in the Arabian Peninsula down in yemen, president hadu, who was an hadu, who was a strong ally of the saudis was yo thrown and thatll overthrown and thatll open up space for alqaeda in yemen and thats the back door the saudi arabia. Even worse, he was overthrown by rebels who were aligned with iran, saudi arabias archrival. Neil yeah. And, you know, everyones breathing a sigh of relief when that died down in yemen, but the fact of the matter was the president of the country was taken and then released. It had nothing to do with the authorities at the scene doing it it just had to do with the captors saying, all right, were going to wander here. Thats hardly reassuring and especially when were looking at these gitmo detainees most of the remaining ones are from yemen. So sum it all up. This region and this world, and we get the bad guys returning to power or getting more powerful in this region, what do we have to look forward to . Well, were seeing a growing shadow of iranian power in the persian gulf, were seeing the rise of isis in iraq and syria more radical groups in libya, groups in the sinai, theyre starting to attack egypt, they could threaten the suez canal and yemen. Saudis feel increasingly in circles, theyre worried about some members of the shiite minority and their Oil Producing province may be stirred up by iran. So were looking at very dangerous times, indeed. Neil do you think that it is possible that, you know, the rand pauls and some of these others are right to say theres only so much we can do in this region . Now his father, ron paul goes so far as to say the hell with em, wed just be throwing good money after bad its not worth it. Every time we get involved for example, in the arab spring uprising we were allied with the wrong guys and wed already wasted billions doing so. So we cant buy their friendship, so whiewshed we put a down payment on their hatred, just get out. What do you make of that . Well, we tried that strategy when we turned our backs on afghanistan after the soviet withdrawal, and that allowed the rise of the taliban and alqaeda. That neil good point. That didnt work out too well. The Obama Administration turned its back on the syrian op suggestion, didnt want to get on decision, and that opened the door for alqaeda and other radical islamic groups to take the lead of the syrian rebellion. So i wouldnt fully agree with that, and i think that just si
