Staff preferably Office Personnel with the weapon locked up in the office. Thanks to all who responded. We appreciate it. Fox friends starts right now. Bye. Good morning. It is thursday february 5. Im intek. Im elisabeth hasselbeck. A fox news alert, president obama wont call islamist extremists what they are but the king of jordan vows to crush isis. He says he will personally take part in bombing raids. Hes the boss. Will the white house support jordans efforts to take down isis . I asked the president yesterday say were here, we support jordan, were a key member of the coalition. You cant say whether or not you support the execution . The white houses
headscratching response as we look like. This atheist making six figures a year on a popular bible app. What you need to know before you download perhaps. I talked to everyone i know, mornings are better with friends. Youre watching fox friends. Welcome aboard folks, live from new york city where it is today the warmest day weve had in about a week. Almost 40 degrees. Little by go to below zero. No, its going up today. No, its actually going down. Give me a little melt, as long as theres some melt. This way we can stop hydroplaning to work. Lets talk about jordan for a second. Their king was here 24 hours ago and thats where we got the news of the january 3 killing of the
jordanian pilot. Now we know jordan is going to take action. According to some reports unconfirmed from iraqi media, jordan is in the midst of airstrikes. Iraqi media are saying they are killing 65 including perhaps a top isis commander. There are western reports that there have been strikes by jordan in retaliation for the death of that man right there. Thats the jordanian pilot. According to the military, jordan military, they have killed 55 isis militants, including that Top Commander that elisabeth was talking about. Whats burning up the internet this morning is when King Abdullah was here in washington, d. C. , he said we are going to have retribution like isis hasnt seen before, and now there are circulating on the internet that picture for instance, of the king of jordan wearing those black gloves looking tough. Then theres another one
where he took part in these are both file photos where he took part in a promotional flyby last october. There are suggestions that he actually, because hes a trained pilot, may have taken part in the raids. That has not been supported by western media yet. Iraqi media said its true. Were just looking for confirmation. His statements are so strong in the face of that horrific burning of his own. He said that they will vow to pursue isis until the military runs out of fuel and bullets. Duncan hunter out of california said hes done two tours of iraq and one in afghanistan. He said he quoted Clint Eastwood in the past and quoted part of the movie. A note from him on their support to end isiss complete, devastating and horrific action. He knows our western society and has done studying here as did his
dad. Lets talk about what the president has done. Remember after the paris bombing the president watched football instead of showing up. He blamed it on a staffing error. Now we have a shot now of King Abdullah to his left to have another key ally at our side as we try to take on isis which i thought was our mission about eight months ago but we have not capitalized on paris emotion and their dirges. Seemingly we dont want to capitalize on jordans emotion and determination to eradicate isis once and for all. Ed henry thought hed take that questioning to josh earnest. How could the president yesterday say were here, we support jordan theyre a key member of the coalition. They make this decision overnight and you cant say whether or not you support the execution . It is possible for us to continue to support and stand with the people of jordan at this very difficult time. Clearly their nation in the same way that we are is shocked and appalled at this terrible act of
violence captured on video by isil and released to the world. The United States stands with our friends in jordan as they confront this awful barbaric act. But as it relates to decisions that are carried out by the jordanianan Justice System, i refer you to them. I dont have the working knowledge of the jordanian Justice System to render an opinion on this. There he is responding to the question. Yesterday at this time we told you about how jordan was steamed that they killed that guy. As it turns out, they killed him about a month earlier. So they executed these two isis people that they had in custody. Thats quick. Today were learning that the president and the king himself may have taken part in airstrikes. Thats the kind of leader you want, somebody who backs up his words with action. Steven hayes had this observation. The white house seems to
me, quite literally, were standing by when all of this happens. Were not going to see any change in strategy, were not going to see new arms to jordan which the jordanians have requested. As you saw in the briefing today, were not even going to offer rhetorical support for the execution of isis terrorists that the jordanian jans carried out. They need military hardware quickly. They might need f16s quickly. We say its on its way. We still havent made a decision a year and a half later. The secretary of state is still staring them down offering more blankets. Im wondering why the president cant take one of our best allies in the middle east east who has been attacked by the same enemy who hates us and say heres what you need. You have the money to pay pore it; right . Yes, we do. Tell me what you theed. Heres the requisition form. Fill it out before you take off and it will be there. That might be too strong. Remember it is just a group with a bankrupt ideology,
soft term for an ideology that we need to start naming specifically. Heres the weird thing. It was reported last night were sending more military assets over to iraq. Why didnt the president say that . The president could make a profound statement. Were arming jordan. We see they have a need. Were sending more people over to iraq. Were sending this to iraq. We are really doubling down. Look at the words the president uses. He wants to be as far away from conflict as he possibly can. Unfortunately hes the commander in chief and you want somebody to sound tough. If you want tough, youve got to go to jordan because their king is tough. Hes about an exit strategy. In the meantime, a lot going on this morning. We have Heather Childers. I look over my shoulder and i see your smile. We have a lot of other stories today. We have this. A lot of people wanting to know what was she doing on the tracks. A mother of three now identified as the driver whose s. U. V. Was plowed by
a train killing her and five passengers. 49yearold ellen brody was on her way to visit a friend after getting off work. She drove across the tracks when the gates hit the back of her car. She got out to look and then she got back in the car and she drove forward despite another driver telling her to back up. She looked a little confused, gets back in the car and pulls forward, and she was probably 15 feet from the tracks. The front of the car was right at the track line but when she pulled forward she pulled right in front of the train. That train was traveling 58 Miles Per Hour, under the speed limit. It slammed into her s. U. V. Her gas tank exploded igniting her car and the train. 400 feet of the electrified third rail apparently ripped from the ground piercing the floor of the first train car. Look right here, this passenger, he was one of the passengers sitting up
front and as flames filled the train he managed to open an emergency exit with his burned hands so everyone could escape. Frantic audio from the cockpit of this, that plane that came crashing out of the sky yesterday. [inaudible] the pilot warning of a flameout in the left engine before banking a hard left, clipping a bridge and slamming into the water. Dramatic video. At least 32 people died. Another 11 still missing. Search crews saying the murky water is hampering their efforts. Amazingly, 15 people made it out alive and new video shows the incredible moment that a toddler is pulled from the wreckage. With the planes black box sound hopefully officials will get a better understanding of what went wrong. In a few hours jury selection starts for the man accused of killing chris kyle. 27yearold marine veteran eddie rain is charged with
shooting him at a gun range in texas. His Attorney Says he will plead not guilty. They previously asked the judge to delay the trial and move it to another location due to the popularity of the movie american sniper but both requests were denied. Brian williams finding himself at the center of a scandal this morning after claiming for years that he was on a helicopter that was shot down by enemy fire during the iraq invasion. The nbc anchor admits that story is not true. Now that iraq war veterans are publicly contradicting his account williams officially came clean last night. I want to apologize. I said i was traveling in an aircraft hit by h. P. G. Fire. I was instead in a following aircraft. We all landed after the ground fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sand storl in sand
stornl in sandstorm in the iraq desert. Military saying that is still a giant lie. One veteran is saying b. Williams said he was in a follow on aircraft and spent two harrowing nights in the desert but the actual pilot of the aircraft that was hit says he remembers williams asking him what happened and taking off in another units bird and going back to kuwait. So the controversy continues flt those are a look at your headlines. Thats embarrassing. I think he said he didnt misspeak. He misremembered. Big difference there . Apparently so. Thats embarrassing.

President obamas response to isis and avoiding the words radical islam garnered a lot of criticism on the war on terror. Our next guest says this strategy needs to change and spoke with the president yesterday at the white house as well as King Abdullah. Congressman ryan zinke served as commander in the navy seal. Congressman, you had a meeting with the president. Was it a former meeting . Did you guys get into issues . He was courteous and kind to invite the freshmen congressmen to the white house. I enjoyed the visit. The president mish mcconnell was there of the senate and nancy pelosi. They didnt take advantage of your background to ask your opinion of what would have been the next step . I dont think this administration is asking anyones opinion. True. You did meet with King Abdullah. King abdullah, a very determined man whose country has been devastated by the burning alive of their pilot. What was your impression . Its not the first time i met the king. I think hes a great leader for his country and certainly has great concern for his people. He does ask for help. And its ironic that jordan is now leading the fight against isis. And theres a lot that we can do as a country particularly this administration. Provide ammunition fuel missiles. And i agree with the king that this is primarily a war with an islam itself. It is a 1,400plus war thats going on for years. But the u. S. Needs to show leadership and resolve. Everyone is looking at this administration for leadership. And it is going to take unfortunately, troops on the ground. And those troops in the form of providing logistics, medical supplies food ammunition, special forces to direct our air power and, most of all, commitment because right now our allies dont trust us and our enemies dont fear us. If you want an cheam you can look at the if you want an example look at the u. A. E. They stopped both in december. They arent happy with our leadership possibly. I dont know who is heading our coalition. I dont see video of an airstrike. The coalition needs to include obviously the kurds, sunni tribes. We need to empower them. And we need to separate radical islam from mainstream. That has to be core. Again, its important that islamic countries rally together and solve this problem because it is a battle within islam itself. But certainly the u. S. , a great country, a powerful country, has also great responsibility. I just feel bad for the military who might have to go back in and refight a war they won two years ago. Congressman ryan, thank you. Thanks so much. Great to be here. 19 minutes after the hour. Its one of the most popular bible apps for smart phones but what if we were told its run by an atheist.

got quick thursday morning headlines. Eric holders Justice Department rocked by new allegations of nepotism. A department of justice watchdog finding the head of the agencys interpol unit in washington used his leadership position to hire his son. It is the fifth report of hiring problems at the department of justice since 2004. Fergusons answer to the controversy surrounding Michael Browns death give police fake bullets. Police will be training with something called the alternative. It is a bright orange attachment for guns aimed to encase a bullet and slow it down but still have
enough force to knock a person to the ground if need be. And thats the news. Right now to a fox news alert. Today we will finally hear from the president s top policy strategist on freed gitmo detainees returning to the battle field. This as were hearing secretary of defense nominee ash carters plan it deal with the brutal isis militants. Leland vittert is live in washington with more on carters nomination. How did it go yesterday . It was a little tough at times. These hearings go right to the core issues of the u. S. Strategy on terrorism and the problem so many in congress have with the administration. At times it got pretty heated. Do you believe that we need to have a strategy to combat isis and the continued successes in many respects that they are achieving . Absolutely. Do you believe we have a
strategy at this time . I believe i understand our strategy at this time, mr. Chairman. What do you understand the strategy to be . I think the strategy connects ends and means and our ends with respect to isil needs to be its lasting defeat. Doesnt sound like a strategy to me. The defense secretary is also ultimately responsible for the comings and goings at the detention facility gitmo used to house terrorists. Today the under secretary in charge of policy and strategy for gitmo will come before congress. He could face extremely uncomfortable and tough questions over the taliban five. They were traded last year by the administration for Sergeant Bowe bergdahl. Last month we learned that one of the five was calling his old buddies back in afghanistan about getting back in the fight. The latest statistics show roughly onethird of those released from gitmo try to
return to their old ways. The white house is pushing to get below that number of 100 detainees. Many on capitol hill will argue today that more releases are putting more terrorists back on the battle field. The closer they get to zero, the easier the rationale is to close that place. He did say hes going to stand up not going to be a rubber stamp and understand the problems with the secretary of defense in the past. Youve got underlings in the white house making decisions. He says hes not going to be the next one. The only thing he has, he has a little bit leverage because the president doesnt want a fifth secretary.
