about president obama not loving america over the line? should he apologize? #keep talking now on our facebook page. >> see you on monday. have a great weekend. >> and "fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. good morning, it is friday february 20. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. laying it on the table, the united states military officials outlining an exact plan to take on isis. even revealing when and where. so did we show our deck of cards to the enemy? that's a big question today. >> i think the answer is yes. meanwhile, he took heat for saying president obama doesn't love america and this morning, rudy's not apologizing. in fact, he's doubling down. >> i'm right about this. i have no doubt about it. i do not withdraw my words. >> more from the former new york city mayor rudy giuliani coming up. what happens when i miss a day? and then cops armed with baby oil and breath mints. that's one of the reforms for the top dog of the nypd. are we putting the handcuffs on the police? the answer is yes. welcome to "fox & friends." >> hello this is weird al yankovich and apparently you're watching "fox & friends." >> how did he know that? welcome to new york city where it's 1 degree outside right now. >> boy we have been doing this show a long time. i don't remember it saying 1 degree. >> no. >> maybe when the -- >> 20 below. >> when it was broken by local vandals and it was missing a digit, but not when it was 1 degree. >> were you trying to miss the cold? we missed the cold? >> today in new york city, it's so cold that hitchhikers are showing pictures of their thumbs. >> in washington, d.c. it's so cold, politics actually have that their hands in their open pockets. >> fantastic. >> it is so cold, we'd love to hear your jokes. e-mail them to us or tweet them if they're short enough. >> thanks for being with us. we'll get right now to a fox news alert. this morning the pentagon under fire for revealing the exact time and exact location of a major offensive against isis. could this move put our military lives in danger? >> leland vitter will break down the plans to defeat isis before summer. leland? >> well, good morning, guys. officials from the u.s. central command briefed the reporters on the plan and it's clearly a totally different approach than what we typically see from the military and the pentagon. they normally keep battle plans secret. it asked reporters to keep what they know close to the vest, protect our troops. that said here we go. battle plan to take mosul, iraq and isis controls the plan with an estimated 2,000 fighters. they took it last year after an embarrassing defeat of the army. and come april or may, they will be part of a 25,000 strong force of iraqis to take the city of mosul. >> it's now become a matter of policy that this administration is going to announce war plans in advance. it only increases the risk. you have to wonder given the timing right after the summit on countering violent extremism if this administration is trying to get a pr win since they haven't done anything to counteract the islamic state. >> this briefer told reporters the u.s. hoped the offensive would wrap up by the muslim holy month of ramadan which starts midsummer. over the past couple of days, u.s. and coalition air strikes have continued to soften up isis target from the strategic standpoint. some isis fighters might retreat in fear before the attack, or it just gives the enemy more time to prepare their defenses and at best, it appears a very risky bet. one military expert called it aiding and abetting the enemy. back to you. >> could be a little bit of both. leland vitter thank you. >> remember, mosul was taken by the jv team a year ago, so our goal is to take it back. the problem is nobody wants to take it back because the kurds say that's not my problem. and the u.s. says we're not going to fight there anymore. but the question is, when are we going to take it back because we'll never be successful there? so not only do we have a plan to take it back, which is heartening, we gave the details of that plan the roles that we'll play and that the kurds will play and when it will take place. why the heck are we doing this? >> some are wondering if this is political proof, yes, we're doing something. we're allowing the enemy to organize and plan ahead of time and others say, do we want to send ground troops in. with a president who would rather summit than search. >> we have revealed the entire hand, maybe it's brilliant when you think about it because what they're doing is they're talking about it will be 25,000 guys on our side. mainly iraqis versus the 2,000 of the isis people. so i read that perhaps the centcom briefer was saying we want to telegraph the scale so the isis men go man, we'll be dead soon, maybe it's to weaken to resolve or persuade the residents of mosul, hey, if you have a choice between fighting with isis or those iraqis with the americans who are coming in in the next month or two, you ought to side with the americans because they're going to win. >> so meanwhile, we're talking about a surge in coalition retaking the mosul here, the summit that the president has put on, a three-day summit. countering the violence summit, left us with this. we're not at war with islam. okay thanks. that's what the three days were about. watch this. >> obviously, there's a complicated history between the middle east the west and none of us i think should be immune from criticism in terms of specific policies but the notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie. and all of us regardless of our faith have a responsibility to reject it. >> well, no one is saying we're at war with islam. there's a billion muslims in the world. >> no one is. >> we're at 50,000 of a radical form of islam we're looking to rein in. the lack of heads of state the lack of interest in people showing up was noteworthy as was the lack of an invite to the director of the fbi who is responsible for doing so much if we're going to be effective. but if the president actually wants to rein it in he should understand those societal long term things would be good to talk about, maybe in the long term on the sideline the furthermore section of your newspaper if you still get it. but we near the middle of a crisis/emergency. people are dying. this crisis and this summit whatever it was did not answer any of those questions. >> it was a sleeper summit. not much really got done. because we are countering islamic extremism and the president will not say islamic extremeism extremism. he's taken a lot of heat so he had one sound bite that he directed at his critics. and he did not say the word republican, but clearly, that's who he's talking about. listen. >> when people spew hatred towards others because of their faith or because they're immigrants, it feeds into terrorists' narratives. if entire communities feel they can never become a part of the society in which they reside it feeds injustice. >> he will not say islamic extremism. hot air.com has an item that says by the time isis overruns the vatican and beheads the pope, the president will refer to them as ab isil. the anything but islamic state of iraq and levant. >> we'll shift gears. after taking a little bit of backlash here after the appearance on "fox & friends" -- >> he did. >> the mayor of new york rudy giuliani refused to apologize for his comments about the president not having a love for the country or you. watch. >> i do hear him criticize america much more often than other american presidents. when it's not in the context of an overwhelming number of states about the exceptionalism of america it sounds like he's more of a critic than a supporter. you can be a patriotic american and be a critic, but then you're not expressing that kind of love we're used to from a president. >> he does say that he's a patriot. but he says i'm -- he goes, he's the most critical of our nation. more critical than bill clinton, jimmy carter and ronald reagan. you have to understand one thing. we get to see giuliani a lot when he was a mayor here. the rap on him, he wasn't conservative enough when he was mayor. when he was going to run, he's so moderate. he thought george bush was too conservative, he went with john mccain. this was a graduation. whatever giuliani thinks and what you think of what he think, this didn't happen overnight. >> this isn't someone who's afraid of criticism. he had an honest moment, a clear moment. some would say, there are our critics that said it was brave to say what he said, but he faced a ton of criticism after visiting with us. he visited with megyn kelly last night and doubled down. watch. >> mr. mayor, do you want to apologize for your comments? >> not at all. i want to repeat it. the reality is i -- from all that i can see of this president, all i heard of him, he apologizes for america. he criticizes america. i have no doubt about it, i do not withdraw my words. if the president goes and makes a speech and talks about what a great country this is, if the president could complete the following sentence -- during the crusades the christians were barbarians and if he could say islamic fundamentalism terrorism is our enemy i will applaud the president. until then i will have doubts about his emotions, his attitudes and the way in which he developed them. >> you have rudy giuliani doubling down after he appeared at our program. after he appeared at the 21 club on behalf of scott walker. rubio was asked about it, no doubt, president obama loves this country, but he thinks his policy, mr. rubio says are simply bad for the nation. >> well, there's a challenge presented from the mayor to the president. we're waiting for you to starving for you to say certain things. >> what do you think about rudy's comments? e-mail us along with your jokes -- it's so cold jokes. >> we have a huge development. >> we have been talking about this, this morning and we want to share it with you. a fox news alert out of las vegas. a week-long man hunt for the suspect in the deadly road rage shooting comes to the dramatic end. police arriving guns drawn to 19-year-old erich nowsch's home a block from where the mother of four, tammy meyers was shot in the head last week. nowsch is facing three felony charges including murder and attempted murder. this as a new twist emerges. nowsch and meyers knew each other. the teenager is believed to be a gang member and meyers was trying to help him leave that life. >> my wife spent countless hours at that park consoling this boy. he's got to feel bad because she was really good to him. she fed him. she gave him money. she told him to pull his pants up and to be a man. >> wow. nowsch's first court appearance for monday. police are looking for another suspect. the defense is resting its case in the american sniper murder trial, trying to prove that eddie ray routh was insane. the doctor testified he suffers from schizophrenia and paranoia. he thought the victims were human pig hybrids and he killed them in self-defense. today, jurors will hear the rebuttal from witnesses and routh will not be taking the stand. extreme weather. another bitter blast, millions of you are waking up to some of the coldest temps in a decade. take a look at this incredible video. the dangerous conditions causing this pipe to freeze and then burst at a college dorm. it happened on the michigan campus of oakland university. you can see that student there walking right up to the door, right as that pipe was exploding just missing her. and someone at the white house should try spell check. check out what was on the white house.gov blog. three misspells of the word february and they're missing the second "r." and more spelling errors where the "r" and the "u" is flipped. february is a tough month to spell. many of us often make that mistake. >> tough to pronounce as well. >> february. >> yes. exactly right. >> speaking of washington it's so cold in washington today the republicans and democrats are having trouble holding a heated debate. 13 minutes after the hour. >> i love them. now, this coming up the department of justice set to sue the ferguson police department for racial discrimination. do they have a case or more about eric holder's legacy?

those reports and more. next "factor." all right. he's leaving office, but not without one last parting shot. eric holder set to sue the ferguson police department for racial discrimination. does he have a case? joining us to weigh in milwaukee county sheriff david clark. what's your reaction to this? >> well, it's more of the same from eric holder. look this is an abuse of power. eric holder has gone 15 for 15 in terms of indicting police departments of some sort of wrongdoing. that doesn't pass the smell test. there's no objectivity in his investigations and oftentimes the conclusion is written before the investigation even starts. if i were the city of ferguson i would fight this. look, the ferguson grand jury got it right. officer darren wilson acted reasonably in defending his life against mike brown. it was a tragedy, we all know that. but eric holder early on before that investigation had started said we'll get this right and the fact that the grand jury ruled not the way he thought they should have, he's still going to try to extract his pound of flesh. but brian these investigations are costly and not only the investigation but when they put you under consent decree this is nothing more than an exercise in writing reports for law enforcement officers. that takes up time. valuable time that takes them away from the street. driving in high crime communities and servicing the people of the city of ferguson missouri. >> the word is that the feds are not going to sue darren wilson. they're going to sue the department and make changes. do you find it odd that besides the first few days when they talked to the sheriff's department, the police department, they have not really discussed anything with them since and this becomes public prior to them even knowing about it? >> it's a typical politics of eric holder and the united states department of justice. at least under his tenure. you know, we can't see this guy out the door soon enough. i know he's leaving. i just hope that the next attorney general that comes in, whoever that might be, won't be eric holder 2.0. it will be a little more open minded and more supportive of local law enforcement. look, the city of ferguson has problems. just like any other city in america. milwaukee is no different. but these things should be solve and settled and discussed at the local level without federal interference. >> and finally since you have been speaking out since the controversy started we want to get a perspective all around the country from different sheriffs to find out what the reality is. you have been critical of this attorney general. have you gotten any backlash? >> not from sheriffs. sheriffs have been right with me not behind me but right with me. i wish more of them would speak out, because this attorney general, this whole chapter i'll be good when this chapter the finally close and we finally get on with the united states department of justice that supports people at the local level. >> all right. sheriff david clarke after this comes down we'd like to talk to you again. have a great weekend. >> you do the same. coming up straight ahead, the highest grossing war themed movie ever. >> are you chief chris kyle? >> yes, sir. >> my name is matt, we met in fallujah, you saved my life. >> wow. so will "american sniper" take home the win? and then the government has a plan to fight obesity across the country -- tax you on your soda. is that a good idea? spit it out. won't keep you up at night. know you have insights from top investment strategists to help set your mind at ease. know that planning for retirement can be the least of your worries. with the guidance of a pnc investments financial advisor, know you can get help staying on track for the future you've always wanted. you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... suddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. time now for your fox news headlines on this friday morning. the source of the superbug that's sending a california hospital into a panic has now been found. two medical scopes apparently were contaminated even though they were properly cleaned. 180 patients who have recently had surgery are being monitored there. seven people unfortunately already infected. a controversial plan to curb obesity. a government panel just suggested putting a tax on sugary treats and drinks all across the country. doctors say the tax could discourage people from picking up sweets and the cash brought in could subsidize fruits and vegetables. okay. thank you, steve. "american sniper" is the highest grossing war themed movie ever. >> are you chief chris kyle? >> yes, sir. >> my name is max. we met in fallujah you saved my life. >> well, a story about one of the nation's bravest chris kyle up for six oscar nominations including best picture. while there's been endless support for kyle and his family the film has received criticism. will "american sniper" take home the win? our next guest serves alongside chris cooper and joining us now is kevin lace. i want to thank you for your service and secondly for being with "fox & friends" today. >> thank you for having me on. >> so what are your thoughts here? i mean moving into this weekend with "american sniper" really leading the pack in terms of military films, what does it mean to you having served alongside chris kyle and knowing him well that it could take home the win this weekend? >> you know, it's a special weekend, it's a good validation for the producer, the filmmakers, the guys that brought this story out there. and it's the validation for the people in the movie process. the validation for me to see veterans respond the this film and be happy with it. because chris was the personification of american exceptionalism and it's shown through in the movie. and those of us in real life, that story is out there for everybody to see. >> absolutely. in your mind would a victory here in weekend really silence in a way, though they have a right to say it, those that came out with such anger and misinterpretation of what american snipers all about what chris kyle was about? >> i don't know if it will silence, i think it's the response to a lot of the criticism. people can their own criticism, that's fine, but what does it for us, this movie has touched a lot of people a lot of veterans. this is our story, in addition to chris' story. that's all the validation i need and the people that have served. >> well said. best film i have seen for sure. how did you get involved? is it true you were training bradley cooper for the role and it was his suggestion? >> right, i was training bradley with my buddy rick walsh, a former s.e.a.l. bradley said did you ever think of playing yourself in the movie and it caught me off guard. my biggest thing was make sure you look like chris and be on target. he said i have to call clint and say you have to have in the movie. i got some auditions on an iphone and i was called back, he said i showed it to clint and he said, boy, he's damn good, get him a job. next thing is history, i got a spot in the movie. >> i love your scene, one of the most moving in the film. knowing chris kyle and having the experience of working next to bradley cooper as well, what did he do to capture who chris kyle was? >> right. chris is the embodiment of exceptionalism. he was a big person and bradley's portrayal on screen just shows that. he dominates the scenes and that's how chris was. chris was a dominant force but he wasn't one that would seek out the attention, seek out the praise. he deflected to the people around him. bradley, you know, shows true respect for the brotherhood and that meant the world to chris. i think that's what sealed the deal for the movie. >> will you be watching will you be going and lastly, what do you think of the fact that having a fake baby in the film could actually prevent a victory here at the oscars? your thoughts? >> man, you know before i started this process, i really wasn't a film critic. i'd go and watch a movie. but, you know, i'm biased. i hope we win. i think it's a great testament to the kyle name and everybody's responded very positively. i think we'll win. and in regards to the fake baby i wasn't there on set that day. you know i think baby number one was sick number two didn't show. so it was a tough spot for the boss to be in. and they made it happen. but the arm wave was a little tough to watch. >> oh, you're so honest and refreshing. i have to thank you again for your service retired navy s.e.a.l., thank you for being here. hey, we'll be watching. we have big hopes for "american sniper." >> us too. thank you. well, a "fox & friends" exclusive next. cable exclusive. patricia driscoll, the ex-girlfriend of kurt busch telling her side of the story. what went down at his house. >> he popped up on bed and grabbed me by the throat and smashed my head into the wall three times. >> what she's also saying about the nascar great state of mind. and then cops armed with baby oil and breath mints? the ridiculous ideas of reform from one top dog at nypd. but first, a happy birthday to cindy crawford. she turns 49 years old today. your daughter has a brilliant idea for her science project. and you could make it happen. right? wrong. because you're not you you're a cancer hospital and your daughter... she's a team of leading researchers... and that brilliant idea is a breakthrough in patient treatment that could save thousands of lives. which means you need a diverse team of advisors helping you. from research data analytics all the way to transformation of clinical care. so you call pwc. the right people to get the extraordinary done. sargento people are real cheese people three generations spanning over 60 years. they don't believe in artificial this or superficial that. they know that in a world of over-processed there's no substitute for a piece of real. real cheese people believe every casserole deserves a shred of authenticity every sandwich a slice of legit. natural cheese off-the-block 100% real. sargento we're real cheese people. the entire east coast is still dealing with all the snow and the frigid weather. people have a lot of time on their hands and they're making some pretty funny videos because they're stuck in the house. check out this lady calling her cat in from outside. watch this. >> come here! [ laughter ] come here. >> yeah. even kool-aid man is like well played, oh yeah. >> an entrance. that was funny. millions of americans waking up to record low temperatures. >> and check out what some folks in boston are doing with that gigantic icicle stretching six stories up this brick building and it won't be melting any time soon. >> boston just 5 degrees right now. maria molina has the chilly forecast, and i see it's 1 degree. >> yeah, it is a cold morning. mine we -- i mean we're looking at temperatures that are setting records in some areas. the current temperature in cincinnati is 13 degrees below zero. 7 below zero in buffalo. even as we head farther south across the carolinas, temperatures are in the single digits. we are looking at that air making it down to the southeast. when you factor in the wind, the windchills are worse. we have windchills below zero in raleigh, north carolina. and that's crazy even for this time of the year and we do have another storm system that we're tracking today. it will be impacting parts of basically the mid wrest and across portions of missouri. we could be looking at winter weather across the midwest. and that system moves eastward. look at the forecast for saturday. we are talking temperatures cold enough for snow across interior portions of the northeast. accumulations should remain light. three to six inches in some areas and higher elevations will be higher though. the welcome news is a brief warm-up coming up on sunday. that should make the storm system precipitation transition over to rain or a bit of a wintry mix for the northeast. so it looks like we'll have a brief warm judgeup on sunday but then after that cold again in east. >> thank you very much. today in washington, d.c. it's so cold, president obama is only going to play nine holes of golf. >> i was waiting for the drums and the cymbals. i love when 32 seems warm. we'll turn now to a warm smile that ainsley earnhardt has. >> you'll want to listen to this story. kurt busch awaiting a decision from nascar. if he will be banned from racing in the daytona 500. the decision based on the restraining order his ex-girlfriend just got against him. patricia driscoll speaking out in a cable exclusive to "fox & friends" about the night that she says the nascar driver attacked her. >> he sent me a text saying that he was laying on the floor crying and his world is crashing down on him and i really was worried for him. to go into that motor home that night, and i was only there ten minutes, you know, just to hug him. eventually, just saying the crazy things that he was saying and then he popped up on the bed, grabbed me by the throat and smashed my head into the wall three times. i just -- i don't understand why he did that. >> driscoll said she's not the only female in the nascar community who is a victim of abuse. >> i have had a lot of women come forward to me from the nascar community to say they were also abused and that they're being harassed by other team members. that when they have gone to get protective orders and they have received them that they're still getting harassed by their ex-husbands or ex-boyfriends or the guys that he works with because unlike a lot of sports they all live in the same community. >> nascar is saying in a statement, quote nascar fully recognizes the issue of domestic violence and expects our members to conduct themselves properly. we have a very broad ability to apply our rules and response to any actions by our competitors in and when necessary. major developments in the search for a florida waitress who vanished without a trace. police are releasing this new surveillance picture. several of them actually of april foster, from the night that she disappeared last week. you can see her hair was up in a bun. she was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt. police have video of her car riding down the road just a block from the bar where she was last seen. a $25,000 reward is now being offered if you have any information on this young lady. a short lived jailbreak for an idaho inmate. remember this guy? we showed you the surveillance video of him popping out of the closet and walking out of the front door. a barking dog alerted the owner and he called 911. the police recaptured him and they took him to the hospital. and move along. nothing to see here. a cow spotted wandering the streets of england, but look at that. his head stuck in the frame of a bike. the big animal eventually able to shake off the bike. a police officer checked her for injuries but she's doing fine. it's not clear how her head became stuck like that in the bike. and those are your headlines. >> that's not a lot of bull. holy cow. thank you, ainsley. the nypd has been under fire to change some of the practices. not that we agree they should. but that's what the mayor has been wanting to do and a lot of protests are happening because of this. so cue michael julian. he was deputy commissioner of training in november because the best police force in the world needed retraining. listen to some of his ideas. >> right. he said first of all, officers should refuse the urge to curse and he said popping a tic tac or mint when they want to curse should help them. it's kind of last straw for the department there. a box of 10,000 individually wrapped breath mints arrived at headquarters. this was a week before he was reassigned. he had another great idea. >> he did. that was after the eric garner decision not to indict spray the protesters with baby oil and that will get them apart. but then police officers should wear rubber gloves so they would still be able to grip the slippery suspects. >> wow. what's interesting here is just the idea -- and this guy has since been reassigned. they're describing it as a promotion, but clearly he was demoted because these are crazy. i think it's interesting the science that he thinks that a breath mint will keep you from cussing. >> allow the police officers to actually focus on something else. and maybe divert their mouth attention to swearing or cursing? but it's interesting because those supplies would equal what what's in my bag. >> you could make an arrest. >> i know. just add in a diaper. >> that would explain why you're never cussing because you have minty breath. have you heard of this clause? delete in case of tea party election. that's coming up next. then what caused these political punches to be thrown? >> that's a chair. >> look out, that's a chair. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. jesse? i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. don't let non-24 get in the way of your pursuit of happiness. a a a a now. for the second time in a week, punches thrown in the turkish parliament. check this out. oh, you saw it correctly, one lawmaker waving a chair in the air as chaos breaks out over a controversial bill. a heated verbal exchange quickly spilling over into a full on brawl. and inside a man was told to stop screaming at john kerry during nuclear negotiations. a bodyguard had to run into the room thinking there was a problem there. a little quiet voice like in our home. >> thank you very much. this year, new york city began rolling out the new program to give i.d. cards to the city's estimated half a million illegals. but now we're learning all that information in the program might be deleted in 2016. why? well, because it is worried by some democrats here a republican could get elected president of the united states. that's right. now with details is the news director for the tea party news network. >> good morning. >> so we know that new york city is a refugee city, a sanctuary city. a lot of illegals are here. the move to have everybody have an i.d. card has been going on for a while. now they have got them, but they have the -- the city does, a lot of data about who the people are. >> this is another example of the liberal propagandists going how can i get votes and they might be able to use the i.d. cards as voter cards. so let's take this information, let's use fear and scare them and tell them you know what, those evil republicans more specifically those tea partiers might come after you. therefore, you need to make sure they don't get into office and continue to elect somebody like myself. >> well, the good news for your side is apparently there are some democrats who think a republican might win president. >> that shows no republican presidential candidates who said they're for 100% of rounding up the illegals and deporting them. you won't see this. but this is a case of using fear to sit there and encourage voters. you have seen it from the democratic party many times. scaring folks away from the gop. those in the african-american community and now you have those in the hispanic community, you know what, let's scare those guys and make sure they vote for us instead of crossing over to a party that truly does want to help. >> all about motivating people to go and vote on that day. meanwhile, here's what a democratic new york city councilman carlos menchaca says about it. in case a tea party republican comes in to office, that allows us to prepare for new leadership. so people would be able to keep their cards but back at headquarters in the city, they would go ahead and shred all of the evidence so that we wouldn't have any idea who those people are with the i.d. cards. >> the only time we have seen targeting like this based on basically a political belief is from the democrats themselves. and this is -- you know, what's sad here in new york, you have actually made this environment of hate towards tea party groups. there was a guy running for office who said that the tea party candidate is going to kick all the grannies and grandpas out of their apartments in the cold. this environment of hate, because they don't understand what the tea party is really about. >> or about republicans. i don't know of a single republican candidate for president who's declared so far who is suggesting that they round up all the illegals. there isn't anybody. >> and they're preying on fear. this is the number one fear amongst the hispanic community is the idea of deportation. that being said i think the problem with it is is it's encouraging this environment of hate and which is odd. you have to wonder what's the party -- who's cold hearted encouraging closed mindedness?

alert, operation exposed. united states plan to eliminate isis including when and exactly where going public outlined for everyone, including the terrorists to see for themselves. he took heat all day for his comments on the couch, saying the president does not love america. this morning he is not apologizing. in fact, he's doubling down. >> i'm right about this. i have no doubt about it. i do in the withdraw my words. >> wow. more from former new york city mayor rudy guiliani. >> meanwhile, it's a secret from the clintons' past that could haunt hillary if she runs for president in 2016. >> i

know. >> he stole a bunch of stuff, it's been alleged. >> we had just finished watching the series on repeats. >> did you really? >> a lot of explaining to do. >> he has a show called "vanilla ice goes amish." >> reruns. >> plus he's got ice in his name and everyone is talking about the cold weather. right now fox news alert. this morning the pentagon is being blasted by military experts for revealing details, including pretty much the exact time and exact location of a major military offensive against isis. could this move put military lives in danger? >> leeland vittert is live in washington to break down that mission to retake mows soul. we have everything except for the starting gun going off. >> exactly. good morning. officials from central command briefed reporters late yesterday afternoon on this plan. it is a totally different approach than what we typically see from the military. they normally go to great lengths to keep their plan secret for obvious reasons and asked reporters what they know close to the vest. here we go. the battle plan to take mosul in central iraq. isis controls the town with an estimated 2,000 fighters. they took it last year in what was really an embarrassing defeat of the iraqi army. u.s. is currently training about 3200 iraqi soldiers for this plan come april or may. they will be part of a 20 to 25,000 strong force of iraqis who will retake the city. >> it's now become a matter of policy that this administration is going to announce war plans in advance and only increases the risk. you have to wonder, given the timing, right after the summit on countering violent extremism, if this is the administration prying to get a pr win since this summit hasn't produced anything other concrete than justify the president's failures in countering the islamic state. >> reason coalition air strikes focused on softening up isis targets in iraq, the briefer said the u.s. hoped the offensive would wrap up by the holy month of ramadan which starts midsummer from a strategic standpoint, this briefing could go one of two ways. some isis fighters might retreat in fear before the attack or just gives the enemy more time to prepare their defenses. at best, it appears to be a very risky bet. one military expert called it aiding and abetting the enemy. back to you guys. >> all right. thank you very much. whatever happened to loose lips sink ships by revealing all these details? you got to wonder whether or not we're putting military lives at risk. why would they do it? perhaps it was this perhaps it was to telegraph to the enemy there are going to be 25,000 of us and just 2,000 of you if you stay in mosul, you will die. so essentially it's the strategy of shock and awe, get out of town. >> but what about the when? the when seems to have a lot of concern surrounding this topic, when you talk to general tom mcinerny, he said this makes our troops more vulnerable to defeat. >> the way they've been asking they're not going to get out of mosul, they're going to stay probably and it's still going to expose our forces to certain risks because they're going to be doing a lot of defensive preparations. ied's, different force positions, knowing an attack is coming, all those kind of things that are going to make our troops more vulnerable. again, aiding and abetting the enemy and i don't understand why they're doing it. >> yeah. they're building fortifications now and also giving specifics on where the kurds are expected to block any escape. there is one thing you could say about the islamic fighters they're not afraid to die, hence, the suicide bomber and they live to be intimidated. in fact, a lot of them looking forward to die. so to think they're going to run from a fight, i don't really think it's a solid philosophy. i hope there is a grand plan. i have my fingers crossed there's a grand plan. but everything we showed so far from over the last six years there is no grand plan. it just seems to be ineptness. >> we've got rick grenell and another guest will be with us in five minutes. we'll ask them if they can figure out why we're revealing so much of our hand. >> a fox news alert out of las vegas where a tense police stand-off has ended with an arrest in the road rage shooting case that left a mother of four dead. this as we learn the victim and the suspect were not strangers to one another. >> anna kooiman is live in the studio with the shocking new developments. we have a lot to learn still, and still many more twists and turns. >> reporter: this is a new twist this morningful this arrest ends a week long manhunt for 44-year-old tammy myers' suspected killer. police arriving guns drawn to 19-year-old eric nobody's las vegas home a block from where myers was shot in the head. he was taken into custody after a brief stand-off. he's now facing three felony charges, including murder and attempted murder. this as we learn nosh and myers knew each other. he's believed to be a gang member and myers was trying to help him. >> he's got to feel bad because she was really good to him. she fed him. she gave him money. she told him to pull his hants up and to be a man. >> myers died saturday. she was shot in the head outside her home last thursday after returning home with her 22-year-old son. police say the two were searching for nosh. they believe he was behind the wheel when he tried to run myers and her daughter off the road earlier that day. moments after his arrest, myers' husband lashed out at the media for suggesting his family was the aggressors. >> y'all happy you made my wife look like an animal and my son. there is the animal, a block away! >> police say his mother called in the at this point. his first court appearance set for monday. police say they're still looking for another possible suspect. >> turns out it was the kid down the street. thank you very much. >> thanks. we'll turn to ainsley earhart ho is right to our right with more that's going on this morning. >> the defense rests its case in the american sniper murder trial trying to prove eddie ray routh was insane when he killed chris kyle and littlefield. testifying that he was paranoid and thought his victims were human pig hybrids and killed them in self-defense. this as the cast and crew of "american sniper" prepares for the academy awards. a form marine who acted in the movie told us chris kyle might have died in tragedy, but the movie will continue his legacy. >> chris was the personification of american exceptionalism and it's shown through in the movie and also shown through in real life. so we're glad that everybody who is part of it in the film making process, but also those of us in real life that, story is out there for everybody to see. >> "american sniper" is up for six academy awards. an extreme weather alert to tell you about. another bitter blast. millions of you are waking up in some of the coldest temps in a decade. causing a pipe to freeze and then burst at this college dorm. it happened at oakland university in michigan. you can see the students walking right up to the door right next to the pipe as it explodes. the ceiling collapsed. she's doing okay. after taking heat all day following his appearance on "fox & friends," rudy guiliani is now doubling down, refusing to apologize for saying president obama does not love america. >> i'll repeat it. the reality is, from all that i can see of this president all that i've heard of him he apologizes for america, he criticizes america. if the president could say islamic fundamentalist terrorism is our enemy, i will applaud the president. but until he does that, i will have doubt about his emotions his feelings, his attitudes and the way in which he developed. >> he's been critical of the president's comments on isis and racial tensions involving police in the past. prince charles reportedly selling out his sons and princess diana in an effort to help his own reputation. a new documentary says that he hired someone to exploit prince harry's drug use and leak personal information about prince william. the princes said to be stunned and angered. the news comes as we learn overnight that prince charles and his wife camilla will be visiting washington, d.c. and kentucky next month promoting the u.k.'s partnership with america. those are your headlines. back to you guys. >> the u.k., university of kentucky? thank you. >> thank you. get this, it could be trouble for hillary clinton. there is a company named catalyst, it's founded bay long-time clinton confidante and right now they had a charge filed against them a complaint filed to the sec saying they actually are accused now of giving valuable voter lists to party committees candidates, including hillary clinton and barak obama in 2008. essentially posing, masquerading as a corporation, but acting like a pac. >> it's a clever way to get around soft money if that's what it does. it involves george soros and ickes who was an aide to hillary clinton. we've been telling you about the clinton foundation raking in billions of dollars. as it turns out, when hillary clinton was the secretary of state of the united states apparently she faced 215 ethics probes while she was secretary of state. these involved speaking engagements and things like that. the couple made about $50 million when hillary was secretary of state. the big question is did her -- the fact that her husband's foundation and her foundation got this money did it impact what she did with countries like russia and asia and others that gave them money? >> for example, it is not unusual that the secretary of state to travel to major ceos, for example, to boeing and bring them to different countries. that's a positive. but if boeing, for example, gets a big contract from russia and then a little later there is some people that donate to the boeing -- boeing all of a sudden decides they have to donate to the clinton foundation, i don't care what it actually a maybe it's just weird timing or ironic or coincidental, but the appearance is terrible. judge andrew napolitano weighed in. >> i think it's a very, very big deal. these other charities do not have as one of their named members the former secretary of state of the united states who was the secretary of state dealing with foreign governments while those same governments were being solicited by her husband for a fortune and while some of them actually paid her husband a fortune. if any of the money that bill received -- not personally, but into the foundation, influenced any of the decisions she made as a secretary of state, you have a potential felony on your hands. >> potential felony. >> when the clintons run for office, it's never dull. >> juan williams was as upset as i've ever seen them. this is a modern day lincoln bedroom problem he has. >> now this ahead, eric holder says fox news is making up the issue by calling terror by its name. does he have a point there? we're going to check the pulse of the people. that's you next. and president obama wraps up his terror summit where he won't refer to it as islamic extreme ism. we have some of his most stunning comments yet. two white house insiders here to help us try to figure it all out. >> first, a look at fireworks celebrating the chinese new year in hong kong. >> the year

it started to rain. the house tried to keep out all the water, but water got inside and ruined everybody's everythings. the house thought she let the family down. they just didn't think it could happen. they told the house they would take better care of her... always. announcer: protect what matters. get flood insurance. if we're serious about countering violent extremism, we have to get serious about confronting these economic grievance. all our nations can reaffirm our development that creates jobs and growth not just for the few at the top but for the many. >> jobs. you heard the president all week blaming a bad economy and legitimate grievances for the terror problem, islamic terror problem that he would not refer to, in the middle east. our next guests say he might be right in some measure, but miss ago more important point. two white house insiders richard grenell and dan seener join us live. so the president was talking about jobs and he said they've got a legitimate beef some of these terrorists and the people who are down-trodden. try to walk a mile in their shoes. >> look, if he's saying we need to use soft power to address their political and economic grievance, he's right that there is some measure of soft power needed. but soft power only works when it's complimented by hard power. we aren't really using hard power in the region now a. and b, the most important form of soft power is standing by moderates that are in the fight. there are arab leaders throughout the middle east like the president of egypt who recently gave a very tough speech saying there needs to be a revolution in islam. why can't the president simply say or echo what those leaders are saying? they're much more forward leaning of being critical of what's happening in islam than the president is willing to be. >> your observation that really didn't get much accomplished. >> yeah. the president is talking about flood insurance when the house is burning down. i think that's a really important point for us to kind of evaluate his policies. if you look at what he's authored just even recently the authorization for mail tear force. -- military force. it's a political document, much like all of his other political strategies. he's trying to say i need to keep my campaign promise of no boots on the ground but we've got a fight against isis. you can't tie the hands of the military like that. what you need to be able to do is put boots on the ground that our military intelligence officers so that we have information so that the bombing campaign is actually precision. without that information the bombing campaign becomes general. >> absolutely. the big question is whether or not the white house is going to authorize boots on the ground because yesterday a centcom official said we're going to retake mosul. there will be 25,000 iraqis. we don't know how many americans. they said, we're going to do it in the next couple of months. so why would we reveal so many important military detail the? >> at best imcompetence. at worst, there is some kind of political agenda. i'm reminded around the bin laden raid what that famous story that tom donnellan who was national security advisor at the time told bob gates we need a strategic communication plan. and gates said, here, you want a strategic communication plan, shut the f up. but that's our communication plan. be quiet. and i think white house manages a lot of these operations, very tightly. and they view them often as communications exercises not -- >> the secretary of defense said that. in their book, they said this is the most political white house when it comes to national security strategies. i think senator cotton was exactly right, this is a big pr move after a failing couple of weeks to fight back against islamic terrorists who are burning people in cages and we're having summits at the white house to talk about entrepreneurship for muslims. i mean, it's really outrageous. >> rick and dan great perspective. thank you very much. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. straight ahead, a cable exclusive. patricia driscoll, the ex-girlfriend of kurt busch, telling

them in college. >> that's smart. but this other guy, i cannot believe the reaction to. what was their reaction when edward snowden hopped on? >> for 30 minutes he talked, right? >> i was not there

degrees below zero. 7 below zero in buffalo. and you're below zero in chicago. you factor in the wind and it feels much colder than that across many areas. new york city right now current windchill, 11 degrees below zero. it sure feels like that. we have a storm system that's developed across the center of the country and it's going to be producing some winter weather out there. especially across states like illinois, parts of missouri and tennessee. eventually the system quickly races to the north and the east and we're going to be dealing with messy weather as we head into this weekend. some snow will be possible early on when temperatures stay cold enough. but then a little bit of a warm-up right on the i-95 corridor and we could see that precipitation transition to a wintery mix or

you might want to check your man's hands this morning. a new study shows that men with long ring fingers and shorter index fingerers are more likely to be nice to women. researchers say steve and brian -- researchers say those men listen more attentively compromise and compliment more often. they think has something to do with hormones in the womb. >> what was it? >> the longer ring finger? >> if you have a longer ring finger and shorter middle finger. >> kind. they're both kind hands. >> as we read between the lines. >> thank you. now we know what to look out for. >> thank you. on sunday, you know what you'll be doing. i don't either. but maybe you might want to watch the oscars. they're this weekend. the buzz is heating up. who will take home the most prestigious awards? fox news contributor and the founder of nerdtears.com kevin mccarthy joins us with his predictions. i guess you're all pumped up. this is your super bowl. first off, what's the first category you want to go to? best supporting actress? >> yes. by the way, thank you for having me on the show. it's an honor. this is my super bowl. i'm so geeked out for this weekend. the best supporting actress no question, to patricia arquette. she's my will win and should win. her performance in "boyhood" is phenomenal. they shot this over 12 years with the same four leading actors. her dedication to the character is absolutely unbelievable. there is a beautiful scene at the end of the film where she's sending her son off to college that i think is going to secure her the win. she's won the sag award, the golden globe, she is 100% locked in to win this aword on sunday night. one of my favorite movies of all time is one she starred in in the 1990s. i'm hoping she says you're so cool at the end of her speech. >> i tell you what, i saw "boyhood" over the weekend. >> didn't like it? >> very disappointed. >> you didn't like it? i'm upset brian. you didn't like "gravity" either last year. >> it's a woman in space. >> what about best actor? >> this is open at the moment. the two front runners are my will win is eddie "red eddie redmayne, and mr. michael keaton for "birdman." eddie redmayne will win because he won the sag award. in the past few years they went on to win the oscar. pretty good odds. he shot the movie out of order. on his first day, he would get there in the morning, walk around healthy as steven hawking. at lunch he'd be in the sticks and at night he'd be in the wheelchair. unbelievable. michael keaton could sneak in with a career award. his first oscar nomination. but in my opinion, bradley cooper, no question deserves this award. he physically and emotionally became chris kyle, one of the best performances in years. bradley cooper is the tenth actor in the history of the academy awards to have three consecutive oscar nominations back to back. so i'm really hoping he wins sunday night. he serves it for playing chris kyle. >> when it comes to best picture, america has already voted with our dollars and "american sniper" has won by a landslide. >> without a doubt. >> no question. that movie 100% deserves best picture. considering what it did. my will win is "birdman." my should win is either "boyhood" or "american sniper." sniper made so much money. i think more than all the nominees combined. unbelievable film. but "birdman," by the way, if we were speaking on january 15, i would have told you for sure no question "boyhood" was going to win. now "birdman" an the dga the sag, i think it's the front runner to win. i think it will take home best picture. but i'm hoping, hoping there could be a split vote between "birdman" and "boyhood" and sniper could take it home that. would be absolutely amazing. >> great assessment there. >> by the way, i gave my first zero out of five in years to "hot tub time machine 2". one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life. skip t. it's awful. >> and you've seen a lot of bad movies. >> yes. >> have a good weekend. we'll be watching the oscars sunday night. coming up on this friday, eric holder says fox news is making up the issue of calling terror by its name. does he have a point? we're checking

our guest is here with some brand-new dials with the pulse of the people. we're going to start with the first dial right here where president obama said that it's an ugly lie that the west is at war with islam. watch. >> there is a complicated history between the middle east, the west and none of us i think should be immune from criticism in terms of specific policies, but the notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie. and awful us regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it. >> wow. so a separation there you see. but also i did see that blue line dipping down just a bit as well. >> it did. overall we gave him an a minus here. but this is context. people said is they absolutely agree, we're not at war with radical islam. the dials were so far down because it was around like everything else he was saying. they're saying i don't want him to get into so many details. i want him to be strategic. but on this point they agreed with him. >> what about this this is eric holder slamming fox news. watch. >> we spend more time talking about what do you call it as opposed to what do you do about it? you know? i mean really. you know if fox didn't talk about this, they'd have nothing else to talk about it would seem to me. you know. radical islam islamic extremism, the terminology has -- seems to me little or no impact on what ultimately we have to do. >> some of those marks off the chart. what did the people say? >> they absolutely gave this an f. you did see the democrats were more likely to agree with him. overall they said this is absolutely petty. let's move on. come o. enough already. and what they all said is we want them to call it what it is. and even democrats said if they're not willing to say what it is, how are we possibly going to fight it? >> what was the grade? >> an f. >> jeb bush was addressing his family legacy and he said this. >> as you might know i've also been fortunate to have a father and a brother who helped shape america's foreign policy from the oval office. i recognize that as a result, my views will often be held up in comparison to theirs. in fact, this is a great fascinating thin in the political world for some reason. sometimes in contrast to theirs. look, just for the record, one more time i love my brother. i love my dad. actually love my mother as well. hope that's okay. and i admire their service to the nation and the difficult decisions that they had to make. but i'm my own man and my views are shaped by my own thinking and my own experiences. >> wow. you really felt the heart there. >> you did. >> what did the people feel? >> the people feel like he was authentic and genuine. they liked his use of humor and said, you know what? i think maybe he is going to be his own man. so overall, they gave him a b. he did the job he need to do do with this message and with this speech and now we'll see if people continue to respond to him. >> we thank you for your time today. >> thank you. now this, start your engines. daytona 500 is this weekend. nascar driver carl edwards in the legendary darryl waltrip joining us live from florida next. first on this day in history, 1962 john glenn became the first american to orbit the earth. in 1998 a 15-year-old tara lipinski became the youngest gold medalist in olympic history and "say it right" by nellie if you furtado was the number one song on the charts in 2007 ght, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain. the daytona 500 just two days away with jeff gordon leading the pack. >> good job. cain hamlin gordon! >> wow, there you go. jeff gordon, the pole winner announcing this will be his last daytona 500. so that's a great way to start. history tells us it's anybody's race. joining us live now from the daytona nascar sprint -- from daytona is carl edwards, as well as darryl waltrip. welcome. >> congratulations. good morning. i'm actually not a sprint cup series champion, but i plan on being one this year. >> he will be, though. >> i appreciate that. >> real quick, i got to get to what happened last night. this bud budweiser dual. what happened with danica patrick and danny hamlin? >> kind of a series of unfortunate events. and practice. danny and danica got together and danica wrecked her car. she had to go to a back up car. that's the car she was driving last night. she's up there running pretty good. 7th, eighth and denny gets a big run comes up right behind her. i don't know if they touched or not. it looked like they did, but danica spun again. she was very upset with denny. i don't blame her. i would have been, too. that's two days in a row. what are you thinking? i like the way denny handled it. he was trying to explain to her and no other crew members or anybody else got involved. just him and her. i thought he handled it well and i think it kind of alleviated the situation. >> yeah. i guess it happened. tony stewart said look at the tape. they're on the same team. it looks like they did have some friction. there is a lot at stake isn't there? tempers are high to begin with. danica had to do well to make sure she's run not guilty the daytona. correct? >> right. last year i crashed five times i believe before the race started. so this place is treacherous and crazy. you can get put in those situations. it's 200 miles per hour. you're door to door, bumper to bumper and things like that will happen. >> you guys have your own -- >> go ahead. >> what you can't really see on tv is these cars are very aero sensitive. when somebody runs up under your back bumper, it loosens your car up and you really can spin out without making contact. that was the debate. did you hit me or did you not hit snow was it just the air? what was it? i think that was the big debate he was having. >> and in nascar you have your own derek jeter situation. a legend is going to retire and he told everybody before the season started. everyone is kidding around saying hey, is this a conspiracy to make him go out on top? what do you think? >> no. it's not a conspiracy. i was in qualifying with him. i was trying as hard as i could to beat him. they just timed everything well. jeff gorton is at the top of his game. he has this rare opportunity to retire in that position. i think he's going to be a really tough guy to beat for the championship this year. definitely no conspiracy. just jeff gordon being fast. >> then this group qualifying, it's almost impossible to manipulate anything. you've got to put your car in the right spot. you got to get a draft to get that fast time. jeff's a pro at that. he knew right where he needed to be. he knew who to follow who to draft up on this get the pole. if there was ever a conspiracy, this would be the least likely time or place the way the qualifying procedure works. >> got you. finally, jimmie johnson seems as focused as ever. it's always safe bet to say he's going to come out on top. what's your hunch tell you? what's your gut tell you about daytona this year? >> i think you ought to watch that number 19 toyota. that seems pretty fast. >> that's what his gut tells him. >> he was fast last night. did he a great job. kyle bush and i followed him across the finish line. jimmie is strong. he's a six-time champion. he's that way for a reason. i think he's going to be right up there with gordon and the rest this year. >> carl tries to forget that he's a six-time champion, but he is a six-time champion. remember one thing about these races down here this week these are the same cars they raced last year. no rule changes. so whatever they had last year, they got again this year. i think that probably plays in jimmy's favor. >> carl edwards, thank you for joining us. darryl waltrip, going to be a great race. we appreciate our traditional time together before the big race. >> yes, sir. >> thanks. >> keep calling me a champ. i appreciate that. >> you got it. i'm going to do a back flip. i wish we had more time. >> he's just sucking up. >> coming up in the final hour of the week as they continue to talk, he took heat for saying the president doesn't love america. this morning new york city mayor rudy guiliani not apologizing. he's doubling down. does geraldo think he should apologize?

>> probably not. you heard it on this curvy couch 24 hours ago. rudy guiliani saying president obama does not love america. this morning rudy doubling down. >> i'm right about this. i have no doubt about it. i do not withdraw my words. >> he's right about it. he says but geraldo not happy about it. i can tell because geraldo's head is about to explode. he's sitting right next to me. >> if geraldo feels as though his head will explode or he'll curse, he might want to do this. take a mint. this is one of the great ideas the nypd was given by one of those so-called experts to increase their productivity in retraining. when you feel like losing your temper, just take a breath mint. he's gone and the idea didn't fly. let me just remind you of one more thing. it's friday and mornings are better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends" >> we're thankful you're joining us at this 8:00 a.m. hour. we're going to get to the fox news alert with geraldo rivera on our curvy couch. growing outrage aimed at the pentagon after they detail exact timing and location of a battle to retake mosul. iraq's second largest city from the isis terrorists. >> the pentagon saying the operation, which could begin as early as april, involve 20,000 trained iraqi troops with a small group of americans fighting alongside. military experts calling mosul a key to driving isis out of the country. geraldo rivera is here. i got to get your take. you know the area. you could probably drive with a gps. but they also even point out where the kurds will be blocking their exit should they want to flee. >> the irony to me is remember how much trouble i got in for drawing the line in the sand? >> yes, we do. >> this is the pentagon drawing the line in the sapped. far more specifically than i ever did. i don't think that operationally it will mean very much. everybody in the world knows that the iraqi army and the kurdish forces and the american air power, et cetera, are getting ready to try to retake mosul, iraq's second largest city where i was almost killed. our car got hit 14 times in an ambush going into mosul. i've been there many times. it is a tragedy that we let it fall. i keep going back -- this stuff is interesting. the fact they're telegraphing april is when the invasion will come and all the rest of it. which is when the fighting season typically begins. i don't think that it means a hill of beans. but what bugs me is that i am reminded of how we allowed mosul to fall in the first place. we knew that they were putting these probes out across the border toward mosul up in the north of iraq. we did so little to stop it. the president was so slow -- >> we knew the sunni leaders -- we knew the army wasn't ready any longer. >> i wish a little bit of preparation and a faster response might have averted the need to retake a crowded metropolitan area. are we going to level mosul now? i mean in the retaking of it? do we destroy it? do we kill civilians? how do we retake it? >> the big question is, why exactly did the pentagon and centcom reveal to many details. we had rick grenell on and he said after this summit, the sleeper summit where they really didn't accomplish anything, they needed a good pr win. so by putting this out, they're saying okay. we're finally going to do something about isis. if you missed the summit, it was a three-day sleeper for the most part. but we've got a montage of what the president said yesterday at the department of state. he did not refer to islamic extremism and he did reiterate and double down on the terrorists really do need some jobs. listen. >> obviously there is a complicated history between the middle east, the west, and none of us i think should be immune from criticism in terms of specific policies. but the notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie. and all of us regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it. when people spew hatred towards others because of their faith or because they're immigrants, it feeds into terrorist narratives. if entire communities feel they can never become a full part of the society in which they reside, it feeds a cycle of fear and resentment. and a sense of injustice upon which extremists prey. >> see, he's right about that. very briefly, last night i was celebrating chinese new year of all things with a very -- >> the year of the sheep. >> who knew? with a very successful muslim family whose children are in private schools in new york and the kids particularly the boys are starting to get bad vibes because of their religion, never happened before. so i understand what the president is upset and cautious about. i truly do. the problem though to deny that what this phenomenon is that the west confronts is sunni muslim extremism is to be blind to a reality. it's one thing to caution against generalizations and racism. it's another thing to deny the essence of what the fight is. you can separate the extremists from the moderates. karim be a dual gentleman bar said that isis represents islam in the same way that kkk represents christianity. it's a great parallel. where karim's analogy falls short is that christian collaboration -- clerics worked hard to fight against the hatred and the separation and the kkk's racism and you haven't seen the parallel in the muslim world. >> i was wondering because there is a moral equivalency that the president seems to go back to when talking about the evils of the world. he's very quick to some would say, rudy guiliani, former mayor of new york said yesterday he doesn't seem to love america the way that a president in the past has. he seems to be overly critical. he said it here. he faced a backlash of sorts throughout the day and then doubled down on megyn kelly's show this is the sound of it. watch. >> i do hear him criticize america much more often than other american presidents and when it's not in the context of overwhelming number of statements about the exceptionalism of america it sounds like he's more of a critic than he is a supporter. you can be a patriotic american and be a critic, but then you're not expressing that kind of love that we're used to from a president. >> mr. mayor, do you want to apologize for your comments? >> not at all. i want to repeat it. the reality is from all that i can see of this president, all that i've heard of him he apologizes for america. he criticizes america. i have no doubt about it. i do not withdraw my words. >> okay. that's rudy. >> i love rudy. rudy is one of my family in a sense. i really -- this mayor has been america's mayor and i believe in him and i believe in his philosophy. but i think that just as the president is out of line not to bring up sunni muslim extremism i think the mayor was out of line to question the president's love of this country. you can express -- i hope that he hasn't questioned the president's patriotism. i didn't hear him question that, thank god. but even to question the president's love of the nation. i think that -- they say that sometimes hypocrites wear their patriotism on their arm and i don't like that blatant oh i'm patriotic. i wear a flag and i'm more patriotic than you. that's not the american way. you show love of your country with your hard work with the way you raise your family with the way you go to work every day, with your sense of the nobility of the history that you represent. and i just think that the question of someone's love of particularly the president of the united states, is unnecessarily confrontational just like and you may be wanting to talk about it later -- my comments about hip-hop music and some of the people -- >> and i know you're going to talk with o'reilley later and you had blowback on that. >> with russell simmons. >> but you embrace it. on a positive side, unbelievable showing over the last few months. we had a chance to watch you on "celebrity apprentice." you go down to the finale and it's just amazing what you guys did. you brought the show new heights again, you and leeza gibbons and a very good cast. >> i don't know whether to call myself the biggest loser or the best man. but i would rather lose when people at least some people maybe on this couch think i should have won than won when some people think i should have lost. i'd rather recognize that leeza did a great job and she's a wonderful and a accomplished person and she played the game perfectly. she did better than i. >> you did fantastic. everyone is talking about it. but in retrospect you taped it a long time ago. what does it mean to you? where is it this fall in your career? >> i don't know about my career at this stage. leeza and i had very different experiences. she had a very friendly cleggial, helped everybody stay beneath the radar. was supportive. everybody loved her. i started from the first day when those three guys wanted to kill me. >> get out the brass knuckles. >> lorenzo la mass and kevin jonas, the rock guy they put a bull's eye on my back. so my experience was street fighting and i'm glad i prevailed. brian's question, where does it fall in the great arc of my career? wait until you see me in the "glee" finale. this is much bigger. >> thanks very much. >> we were so impressed. >> thank you. it is 8:10 here in new york city. we've got a fox news alert. >> thank you. a fox news alert out of las vegas. a week long manhunt for the suspect in the deadly road rage shooting comes to a dramatic end. police arriving, guns drawn, to 19-year-old eric nosh's house a block from where the mother of four tammy myers, was shot in the head last week. this as a new twist emerges, nosh and myers happened to know each other. the teen-ager is believed to be a gang member. myers was trying to help him. >> countless hours at that park consoling this boy. he's got to feel bad because she was really good to him. she fed him. she gave him money. she told him to pull his pants up and to be a man. >> nosh is facing three felony charges, including murder and attempted murder. another fox news alert. an iraqi man here on a green card due in federal court today after being busted earlier this week with a one way ticket to jordan. feds say 29-year-old al haman mohammed juwad was intending on joining isis and waging jihad. f.b.i. agents stopped him at the detroit metropolitan airport as he was boarding a jet. agents now pouring through his cell phone and his computer. a sweeping reform for the nypd includes breath mints and baby oil? in his two months as the reform czar michael julian came up with goofy proposals in the wake of the eric garner choke hold case. he said officers who want to swear should just pop a breath mint or spray baby oil on unruly protesters with their arms linked to help break them apart. even suggested the cops wear rubber gloves so they can grab on to the oily slippery systems. after these ideas, julian was transferred. back to you guys on the curvy couch. >> thank you very much. we wanted to know what you thought about some of these rather odd tic tac antics. one says, nypd has a job to perform. if you want to have contact with them, don't break the law. >> and buckie says, how about guns that shoot out little flags that say bang? >> just some of the tactics discussed. >> and any insult of taking the police force and needing to be retrained is beyond description. >> thanks for your comments there. this now, a fox news alert. the defense rested its case in the american sniper trial right after hearing outrageous claims from the accused killer's psychiatrist. a live report next. and caught on camera, the intense moment jets scrambled to stop a jet. so close, you can see the pilot. hello fox news alert. defense and the american sniper murder trial resting their case right after hearing outrageous claims from the accused killer's psychiatrist. fox news correspondent casey seeing system live outside the courthouse in stephensville texas, with more on the story. hey, casey. >> reporter: good to see you. we should point out that this was not a doctor whoever treated eddie ray routh. it was a forensic psychiatrist that was actually hired by the defense to examine this case for the purpose of the trial. he did take the stand yesterday. his name is dr. mitchell dunn. he specializes in criminal cases. he testified that not only did he review all of routh's medical records and evidence but he spent more than six hours interviewing the former marine. dunn said routh was suffering from quote, significant symptoms of psychosis and delusions. he thought his neighbor belonged to the mexican mafia because he saw a van backed up to the house one day. he thought that two of his co-workers were cannibals and were after him. dr. dunn mentioning there is a test used in the medical community to see if someone is perhaps faking psychosis. he said routh passed the test. in other words, in his opinion, he was not faking. upon cross-examination of the defense witness the prosecution tried pointing out inaccuracies in what the defendant had told dr. dunn in that long interview. for example, he denied smoking pot on the morning of the murders. we know now from multiple witnesses who have testified that he not only got high that morning, but he also drank whiskey with his uncle before he went to the gun range with chris kyle and his friend chad littlefield. >> incredible. and finally coming to a close. thanks so much. 19 minutes after the hour. it's a secret from the clintons' past that could haunt hillary in 2016. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> no. not that. maybe this?

>> in our own way we do address the issues because we travel the world. we inspire people. we do that thing that alvin ailey hold up a mirror to our society so the people are reminded how beautiful they are. when people see revelations and they see this message of hope over despair that when i first took the helm of the company, for instance, we were in russia and by the end of revelations people were dancing to and fro swaying in the aisles as if they were in a church down the street in harlem somewhere. that's important to remind everyone that we are more alike than unalike. that sounds simple, but it's at the core of what is needed. >> what different path we're going the same place. right? you live in new york city. >> hand selected by dancer and former alvin ailey artistic director judith jamison robert battles is only the third person to lead the company since its creation. but his path to get there was not an easy one. defying his lack of resources and his own physical challenges. i'm curious for you, a child who was once wearing braces on his legs, told by doctors, you're not going to do what other kids can do. and just coming from that what kind of drive did it take to get here? >> i always say that my most powerful weapon was my imagination and still is, that in that way, you can defy place and time and circumstance. so there was always this sense of my imagination sort of being the thing that i could escape to and eventually the thing that became somewhat my life. >> five, six seven eight. told you. you could have walked off the street and did that one. >> we're talking about black history month. that crosses over into every everybody, your imagination. it's completely universal. >> even when i was giving them a movement where they had their hands flexed and walk forward, if you get them to just think about their own instinct, you know, what does this make you feel like? we do many performances for young people who are blessed from different neighborhoods who may have never even come to the theater. but they see the company and they say to me, with this hope in their eyes how can i study and be like that? what can i do? and the one thing i always say is use your imagination you know. if you can see it, it will happen. >> with talent and determination, robert fought his way into the dance program at the julliard school in new york. from there on to the prestigious parsons dance company and then created his own called battle works. now he has the daunting task of continuing tradition at al vein ailey. we're talking about the issue of legacy with alvin ailey. but you'll have your own legacy, too. what will it be? >> wow. something i remember maya angelou saying, it was not her words, but it was by an ancient writer named terrence, i believe. and it struck me as my own mantra and how i view the world. it was i am a human being. nothing human can be alien to me. it just opens the door to infinite possibilities and that, to me is my vision for the company and how i want to leave the company always curious, always moving forward. >> choreographers come from all over the globe to work with robert battle. it will be very interesting to see where he takes this company. our shared american history, elisabeth, it's what i always say. always fun to look toward the future as well. >> and it was incredible to see such power, such art such history in motion. another incredible moment in this series. thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> we will see you later today. next week, you know him as bunk from "the wire." watch. >> my father had me on the street. >> but it's what he's doing for his hometown in new orleans that will cement his legacy. the actor entrepreneur, wendell pierce next friday. not to miss. a great story. close to our series celebrating black history right this month right here on "fox & friends." harris faulkner, exceptional work. >> good to see you. >> i love what you do. >> thanks. now this a "fox & friends" cable exclusive. patricia driscoll, the ex-girlfriend of kurt busch telling her side of the story what she says went down in his house. >> and did you hear this tough question from bill o'reilly?

>> learned who i was alone. >> who is that? >> really someone that needs god. >> need god. >> every day. >> then you're on "the view" and you pretty much had enough right? >> i actually love a challenge. it felt as though i was coming home. it still feels that way in the morning. i'm excited to go where i'm going. it wasn't always the case when i was on "the view" despite that i had great friends there individually. >> why wasn't it always the case? >> i just didn't feel -- >> did you felt they ganged up on you? >> no, and i'm fine to stand solo. i'm okay to be alone in the midst of a storm. >> i got to tell you, though, when i was on "the view," it felt like i was sitting on a log for eight hours. it felt like i was talking to logs. >> so you were on survivor and then you were the survivor on "the view." >> that's right. for a while. >> but they did such a great job with that piece. it was fantastic. you said you didn't watch. >> no. i always watch the show, did you during that part, i had tim watch because i get nervous. you know me. >> i know. >> i was so thankful that he had me on. it's a great series. i watched leah gabriel. your part about chicken. i was thankful for him having me. >> 25 minutes before the top of the hour. this sunday apparently chris wallace has the day off because john roberts is sitting in his big chair in our nation's capitol. good morning to you sir. >> yeah. i think that chris is in the next installment of "survivor" and that's why he's not here. >> it's going to be a quick exit for him. so he's only doing it for a couple weeks. >> he's only taking one sunday off. so he probably doesn't last too long. >> i know this weekend you're going to talk about hillary clinton. the clintons are in the news. there is this company called catalyst with ties to the clintons, george soros one of the founders and harold ickes, who runs it. apparently there is some connection they may be doing some things that are illegal. they're too close to being a pac and company and then you got all of these ethics probes that hillary had when she was secretary of state. so she's got all sorts of land mines in front of her. >> let's tackle the first one first. catalyst, which is a company that harold icke created a number of years ago. he created it back when howard dean was the chairman of the democratic national committee because he didn't believe that howard dean was capable of compiling an adequate voter list to be able to go out there, democrats to be able to go out there and fight elections. so harold icke created the vast voter list. this is a complaint filed by gop watchdog group with the federal election commission is did catalyst illegally give that voter list to candidates and other political organizations in violation of campaign finance laws? don't know if that's got any legs. but the sec will decide that, as the ethics probes, at the state department, i don't think there is that much there there. apparently 215 ethics reviews, they were called. this is what happened when bill clinton was giving speeches around the world that appropriately they file these ethics review forms with the state department to check to make sure that there was nothing wrong with bill clinton giving the speech and wherever he was giving it. and all of those came back with no objection. i think the bigger issue here, steve, brian, and elisabeth, is what's going on with the clinton foundation right now taking all of these massive foreign donations in the amounts of tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments overseas billionaires and what that looks like is hillary clinton is preparing to run for president. is there a conflict of interest there? are the potential ethics violations there? is there a potential quid pro quo expected? what do these people expect to get back, if anything, from giving the foundation all this money? >> who are we going to see you talking to on sunday? >> we're going to talk with jay johnson, the secretary of homeland security about a number of things. he was at the antiterrorism summit at the white house a couple of days ago. of course, there is the immigration issue and with that texas district judge throwing out the president's executive order, as well as the department of homeland security will run out of money next friday unless congress does something. so there is a lot to talk about there. we'll be with general jack keane, michael hayden to talk about isis and the president's plans for tackling them on social media. should he be doing it with bullets and bombs as opposed to twitter. now the attack on mosul that they're telegraphing a couple months in advance. and we'll talk with governor mike pence who may or may not run for president. >> can you put all that in one single hour? >> that and chris wallace's appearance on "survivor." it will be tight. elisabeth, i had lunch with mark burnett. i had no idea he was such a devout christian. >> yes, he is. he and roma had that whole entire bible series and he definitely is. good man. >> they have a new one called "a.d." coming out. >> good to know on that. we will be with you on sunday watching that packed hour. we'll be looking for those survival torches as well. we'll see you then. >> mark burnett starting to break out a little bit. >> ainsley, you have some important news. >> i do. thank you, brian. nascar fans, kurt busch awaiting a decision today nascar to determine if he'll be suspended from racing in sunday's daytona 500. the decision is based on the restraining order that his ex-girlfriend just got against him. patricia driscoll speaking out in a cable exclusive to "fox & friends" about the night that she says the nascar driver attacked her in his motor home at dover international speedway. >> he sent me a text saying that he was laying on the floor crying and his world was crashing down on him and i was really worried for him to go into that motor home that night. and i was there only ten minutes just to have him eventually just saying crazy things that he was saying and then starting to pop up out of bed and grab me by the throat and smash my head into the wall three times. i don't understand why he stopped like that. >> driscoll says that she's not the only female in the nascar community who is a victim of abuse. >> i've had a lot of women come forward to me from the nascar community to say they were also abused and that they're being harassed by other team members that when they've gone to get protective orders and they've received them that they're still getting harassed by their ex-husbands or ex boyfriends or the guys that he works with because unlike a lot of sports, they all live in the same community. >> nascar saying in a statement that nascar fully recognizes the issue of domestic violence and expects our members to conduct themselves properly. and attorneys for bush are asking a delaware judge to reopen that hearing. a fox news alert now. happening overnight, five people are hurt, at least one seriously after two passenger trains collide. this happened in northern switzerland during this morning's rush hour. several cars were knocked off the track. one passenger reported seeing his train pass through a red light, causing the other train coming from zurich to hit them side o. the crash under investigation. a stand-off in the sky. brand-new video shows the moment a u.k. jet intercepts one of putin's bombers as it buzzes british air space. the planes got so close last month, you can actually see the british pilot in the cockpit. this video coming out as former military leaders are expressing concern that britain could not defend itself if russia attacked. and those are your headlines. back to you elisabeth, brian and steve. >> they have no weapons to defend themselves and russia is attacking. so not a good scenario. >> too close for comfort. now this, millions of americans waking up to record low temperatures this morning. >> whoa! >> this guy, look at this screen, probably waking up to a couple of bruises here or there. >> he may have to go see the chiropractor. >> check him out. he's trying to shovel snow but he slips and keeps on slipping. eventually throwing his shovel away in disgust. >> another good reason not to shovel. when will have to break out the shovels today?
