Thanks for joining us. Well continue to follow the latest on that breaking story. But in the meantime were following a Suicide Attack against an iraq or an air base in iraq carried out by two dozen terrorists from isis. This is according to the pentagon. It happened at the al Assad Air Base where american and Coalition Troops are training iraqi forces. The pentagon says most of the militants died in the attack killed by those iraqi troops or by setting off their suicide vests. This is arguably the first in at least a couple of months if not more where they have had any success at all at taking any new ground. So this is this is an enemy that we still assess to be in a defensive posture. Conor powell is live in jerusalem with the latest. Reporter yeah, heather ultimately the iraqi troops repelled this attack by the isis insurgents but it raised questions about the capabilities of the iraqi troops and how vulnerable are american troops who are there as trainers . According to the pentagon and other reports, in recent weeks isis has been gathering soldiers and fighters near this base its a huge sprawling military base in the western part of the country. Isis even taking over a key town not too far, just a few miles away from this base. Earlier this week. The attack on al asad was carried out for headlines, rather than to overtake the complex. It was carried out by two dozen or so isis fighters. So it does seem that it was there to generate more headlines than an assault. The pentagon says that iraqi troops were able to push back the insurgent fighters and u. S. Marines as trainers were never in any type of danger, but at least eight fighters did get through an outer ring perimeter and make it into at least part of the base. Now, in the middle east theres a lot of calls for iraqi troops to be part of the ground offensive, to take back land, to take it to isis. This really demonstrates that the pentagon which has been saying that iraqi troops simply arent ready for this type of counteroffensive it does sort of demonstrate that the pentagon is right on. But there were a lot of calls in the middle east, heather, for iraqi troops to be part of the ground invasion. To push back against isis. Right now what we are seeing they arent in in i position. That isis is only a few miles from one of their key bases. Doesnt give a lot of confidence that the iraqi troops are able and ready to launch a counteroffensive against them. Conor powell, thank you. Well intense fighting in Eastern Ukraine even as a ceasefire looms. Heavy attacks reported in the port city and they try to bolster their positions ahead of the truce. It is supposed to go into effect at mid night. Russia, ukraine, germany and france reached a deal to restore some measure of peace, but many people in the region or area are skeptical that the fighting will stop for good. A potential valentines day massacre foiled in canada. Police say that a chat stream helped them intercept two suspects planning a major attack on mall in halifax. One suspect killed himself when officers officers surrounded his home. Another was arrested at the airport. A bloodbath was averted they said. Had they been able to carry out their intentions the possibility for a large loss of life was definitely there. I would classify it as a group of individuals that had some beliefs and were willing to carry out violent acts against citizens but theres nothing in the investigation to classify it as a terrorist attack. Investigators say the woman confessed to the planned attack, adding that both suspects were apparently obsessed with the death and had many photos of mass killings. The u. S. Labor secretary is in california this weekend to intervene in the contract dispute which has disrupted shipping along the west coast for a second weekend. Both the port operators and labor unions asked president obama to get involved while he was traveling in california. Ships at 29 ports are being forced to wait at sea unable to unload cargo which can cost the economy an estimated 2 billion a day. Secretary tom perez is meeting with both parties this weekend to help resolve the issue. Well, testimony will resume monday in the murder trial of the man accused of killing american sniper chris kyle. It was a dramatic and emotional first week. Kyles wife took the stand to talk about her final phone conversation with her husband before Eddie Ray Routh allegedly shot him and his friend at a shooting range. Will carr is live in dallas with more. Will . Reporter hi, heather. The crux of this case is whether routh was legally insane when he pulled the trigger, and taya kyle took the stand and described the last time she saw her husband, that she gave him a kiss and a hug just like any other day. Prosecutors say that kyle and littlefield were trying to help routh whose family says he was battle ptsd. So they took routh a former marine to a gun range. Thats where he shot both men a combined 13 times. Then stole kyles f350 and took off and later getting into a dramatic chase with Police Officers before he was finally placed under arrest. We heard from rouths uncle yesterday. He says that he smoked pot with routh the morning of the shooting and he testified that routh could tell the difference between right and wrong. We also learned routh had an antipsychotic drug after he spent time in a Mental Institution a week before the shooting. Then late yesterday, we heard from a Police Officer who said he heard routh comment months after the shooting inside of a jail and evidently he said that routh said the reason that he shot both men is because they did not talk to him on the ride to the range. That was the last thing that the jury heard heading into the weekend. They have all weekend to think of that comment before the trial resumes on monday. Coming up on the legal panel they will weigh in on the testimony so far and what rouths defense must do to convince the jury that he was temporarily insane at the time of the shooting.

Well, if the Supreme Court decides obamacare is unconstitutional, the chairman of the house ways and Means Committee says the gop must have a contingency plan ready in case millions of americans get the Affordable Care act pulled out from under them. Guy benson is a Political Editor for town hall. Com and Fox News Contributor and a former chief of staff to joe mansion khon. What are they looking at in this case of king versus burwell . Does it meet the legal dock trip of standing . That shows a person or persons have suffered an injury a slap in the face, discrimination or adverse government action. In this case, with the oral arguments being scheduled for march 4th, we didnt know how the court will rule but what are your opinions about this case affecting obamacare . Well, i mean i think what the court has to decide is whether or not all of these subsidies are unconstitutional. It says that people only living in states that set up exchanges are eligible to get the subsidies and democrats are saying they meant that more broadly, so those who get it through the federal exchange theyre fine. People on the other side republicans and conservatives are saying no, the law is very clear. Explicit about who is eligible, who is not. So there have been lower court cases that have gone in both directions and should the Supreme Court rule that the law says what it says in black and white, youll have almost threequarters of the states, people in those states suddenly ineligible to receive government assistance to pay for these very expensive premiums. It seems like that could be problematic. It would be very problematic. If it happens and its a big if because i have questions as to whether, you know, chief roberts in particular is going to you know basically undo what he helped create by, you know, deeming the obamacare constitutional. But putting that aside for a second, lets assume for arguments sake its struck down, youll have millions of people who are scrambling. The republicans have now done by my last count 60 repeal votes. It is how many years and they dont have any kind of proposal or suggestion of how to improve the law. I mean so politically, if it happens, the republicans are going to be in a real box because youre talking about taking away something. Its one thing before people have something. But now that people have seen it, they have benefited from it, it could become a real political headache to say the least for republicans. Yeah. Yeah. You know, guy, look, a lot of republicans are looking at this sand theyre hoping that the Supreme Court will do Something Like strip it away. Its a known fact that republicans in congress do not like obamacare. Paul ryan, as we discussed basically stating that something has to be done. Hes responding to the possible Supreme Court ruling that and especially telling his fellow republicans we have to have a contingency contingency plan. Are you surprised, are any of you surprised that the republicans have waited this long to come one a contingency plan . Well, first of all, i would say that a majority of the republicans dont like the law, a majority of the americans dont like this law. Its unworkable from the very beginning and if the Supreme Court does strike down the sebastian did subsidies its because of what the law said. This is a problem of the democrats making. To your point, yes, i completely agree with paul ryan. It is long past due for republicans to come out with a unified front both on policy and on rhetoric ifrikes this down. They need to be ready with an alternative for the American People to say, we all know obamacare is a disaster. Its not working the way it was promised. It is falling apart at the seams because it was shoddily written and we have a better alternative and they have to get that together in next few months so theyre prepared. Paul ryan is 100 right on this. A lot of people are indeed very surprised that its taken paul ryan to state this again because hes done it before. In the past, some of the republicans were slow to actually come up with some plans. Although senators orrin hatch and richard burr and fred upton have drafted a Health Care Plan and theyre offering a difference. Chris, what kind of difference can the republicans offer that would be better than the Affordable Care act as we know it now . Nothing. I mean, basically what theyre going to offer is a proposal that makes things worse. That takes Health Care Coverage away from millions of families. Now, listen, i know republicans are never going to like obamacare. That is a given, but the notion that somehow this law has been a disaster, well, i guess, providing health care to millions of families for some republicans is a disaster. Helping to reduce the cost of inflation of health care is a disaster. Having you know health care basically in terms of the uninsured rate at the lowest level its been in decades thats a disaster. If the this is an issue that from republicans perspective they see health care as a luxury. For most americans they see it as a necessity. The idea that youll take it away and come back with a proposal that basically limits it even further whatever the republican proposal is, its taken them three years to come up with one sentence and they havent written it yet, but i just dont know how you do it without a severe political backlash. All right. I hear you chomping at the bit. Real quickly, guy, but i have to wrap this. Look, there are multiple iterations of the alternatives from the republicans. They havent unified around one. How long does it take . Hang on, i didnt interrupt you. Im going to interinterrupt both of you. Thanks so much. Well we have a fox news alert to tell you about. We have received a photo of that suspect in the shooting at a cafe in copenhagen denmark. It happened at a free speech event, one person was killed three others injured. Denmark now calling it a likely terror attack and there for you is the first shot of the suspect in that attack. Reaction coming in to the Suicide Attack by isis against an iraqi air base even as theres a fresh round of strikes against the terrorists making moves in iraq. K you mom, for protecting my future.

As we reported a moment ago the pentagon says iraqi troops held off a Suicide Attack by isis fighters at an air base where they were undergoing training by american and Coalition Troops. About two dozen isis fighters died in the attack on the al Assad Air Base. The pentagon also says isis fighters seized parts of the town of baghadi that is six miles away. Were joined now by captain chuck nash. Hes retired from the u. S. Navy in a fox news military analyst. Thanks very much for joining us. My pleasure heather. What is isis trying to accomplish by attacking this particular base and how did they go about doing it this time . Well i think what theyre trying to do is grab a lot of headlines which theyve been very successful at doing because they know that the americans are there and thats the very sort of upfront area where the americans are. Of course, we have americans in the green zone in baghdad and we have others counseling and consulting with the kurds up to the north. But as far as out in Anbar Province thats as far forward as you can get. They realize they can get to it. The other thing theyre trying to do is show what theyre willing to do what the americans and the iraqi forces are not willing to do, and that is they are willing to take horrendous casualty rates to make a point. Theyre bringing in foreign fighters who are coming in to die in jihad and so fine, they strap bombs to them and send them up to the gate and see if they can blow their way in and the rest of them get killed in the process. Theyre making a point grabbing headlines and demonstrating their will to win. But even if they were to go through the gates and get in, this is a massive installation, so theres no way that theyre going to overtake it, correct . So, theyre really just trying to make that point . Yeah i really believe so because if they really wanted to try to take down al assad, they would have to mass force and as soon as they did that our air power would go in and decimate that force. So, its going to be harassing fire. Its going to be raids and things like that so you cant discount it because theres always a threat there because it is so far forward out in al Anbar Province. But the fact of the matter is for them to try to take it over and seriously mount an assault on that base, they would have to amount a force that would be at risk for our air force. From what i understand we did send in drones and we did also send in some apache helicopters. What do you think the likelihood is of the u. S. Troops getting involved in this now . I dont think u. S. Forces are going to wind up in a combat situation unless a group, a raiding force does breach the wire and come in and, of course, our guys are armed so they will defend themselves and theyll take the fight to the enemy if theyre inside the wire. But i think what youre really going to see is the steppedup area of the reconnaissance in the area and 24 7 drones flying around making sure tha
