Welcome to the journal editorial report. Im paul gigot. Outrage spread across the world this week after a video was released showing a caged jordan yan Fighter Pilot being burned alive by Islamic State militants, an act that King Abdullah vowed to a avenge with a war. And president obama called it a brutal and vicious death cult but he told the attendees that violence rooted in religion isnt exclusive to islam. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the crusades and the inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. And our home country, slavery and jim crow all too often was justified in the name of christ. Joining the panel this week, wall street journal columnist and Deputy Editor dan henninger, Dorothy Rabinowitz and columnist Mary Anastasia ogrady. Well get to the president s remarks in a bit, but what does this week and the and this brutal murder of the jordanian mean for the war and the alliance against isis . Well, you raise the possibility it might be a turning point. We seem to have sub sessions of turning points in this war. Were hoping. Well, isolated up on that mountain that was a turning point, the beheading of the two u. S. Reporters that was another turning point. Now this horrific scene of the burning of this pilot is yet another turning point. In a sense theyre real, but in a sense they all end up in the same place, which is the white house. Let me take you through it shortly. As a result of that, all 26 members of the House Armed Services committee unanimously voted that we should ship more arms to the jordanians, who clearly appear to be willing to take the fight to isis. And King Abdullah said this week, look, were short. We dont have the kind of firepower were going to need and were on the front lines. He said we want airplane parts, night vision and some precision munitions. The white house has asked about this, and josh earnest says we will undertake any request we receive. We havent received one from the jordanians yet, but if they send one to us, we will take a look at it. And in other words status quo. You have a coalition over there in the middle east right now that looks like a pickup Basketball Team which is a lot of people running around with no real coach or leader. Right . The United States is not committed yet to shaping a strategy and leading it. That came out of ashton carters confirmation hearings this week to be defense secretary. So were back to the same spot we have always been in. And mary, the jordanians are on the front lines now. Theyre committed. Theyre if we would back off at all, that ally might fall. You know, paul, you have to go back and think about what president obama has done since he took office. I mean he gave iraq back, he drew the red line and the syrians backed off of it. So hes not at this point at this point hes not a credible leader for the region and they need american leadership, but theyre not getting it from this president. I think a big part of that he doesnt have a good understanding of who this enemy is. I suppose the white house would say, look, we pushed them back from kobani, with the help of the kurds on the ground. We dont want to commit American Forces there on the ground again. These countries have to take care of itselves so were waiting for them to get ready to be able to do this offensive against isis. Yes. So be patient, it will happen. I think you call that leading from behind. We have heard that before. I mean im trying to be fair to their argument. I know thats what they would say, but the fundamental problem with that is that if you think about how the enemy looks at it, right, they look at the arab nations that are not Strong Enough to defeat them. Dont have the weapons that are necessary. And a president that has neither the commitment nor the understanding of who this enemy is and how important the struggle is. That is supposed to be backing them up. And the key point is isis has to be seen to be losing to lose the attractiveness in getting new recruits. This is valuable propaganda for them. They have to be rolled back from the territory that they have and we havent seen that yet. Dorothy, i want to the you about the president s remarks at that prayer breakfast. Suggesting that christianity christians have been blamed for similar barbarity over the time. What do you think about his remarks in that context at this time . Well, it was breathtaking. After all, we have heard the beginnings of this. We had an apology tour. This is an extension of an apology tour that took place when the president assumed the presidency years ago. Now we are facing a new time when a passage of thousands of years does not deter the president from finding fodder to present the same message and he used these memorable lines. He said in the middle of the discussion of isis horror, he said lets not get too full of ourselves. Think of this as president ial rhetoric. To compare the United States, the passage of time, the progress of civilization. And then nothing. If only he could achieve his rhetorical goal, which is we are not equal. The analogy to slavery, christianity and slavery, i im not a historian but i do recall that christians led the fight against the slave trade, will wilbur force, in british. Antislave trader and succeeded and the abolitionists in this country were christians. Yeah. Youre asking a lot. Youre asking for facts. Am i wrong . No, youre not. But the relevance of fact has nothing to do with the rhetorical imperative here, which is to say americans have no place in the world, claim superior superiority. And he is there to stop us from feeling superior to the world. Briefly dan, we have only a second. Christianity went through a reformation and thats what radical islam desperately need to join the modern world. If the president had said that it would have been a huge contribution on the subject he was talking about. Exactly right. If the president said that it would have been a miracle. All right. When we come back, the vaccinate debate is a political mine field for two president ial candidates but democrats arent immune from that controversy.

A dangerous outbreak of measles in california is causing some political headaches for two potential gop president ial candidates. With new Jersey Governor Chris Christie and kentucky senator rand paul both saying this week that parents should have a say in whether to vaccinate their kids. Paul took his comments a step further claiming in anner have interview, i have heard of many cases of children who wound up with profound disorders after vaccinates, but its not limited to the republican politicians. Although president obama is telling parents to vaccinate and the candidate in 2008 he called the science on vaccinates and autism inconclusive and that same year Hillary Clinton promised to invest in Autism Research including quote possible environmental causes like vaccinatees. Were back with dan henninger. No link . This is about the Public Health intervention, there hasnt been anything studied on a large scale with such rigorous scientific methods. The sort of vaccine and autism link thats missed it was originated in a 1998 article in a journal called the lancet. That study which is a serious journal. It was a serious journal and it was later repudiated and the author was disbarred. Stripped of excuse me, stripped of his license to practice and turned out to be on the payroll of the plaintiffs bar. So this is really a pernicious superstition. What about the argument, dorothy, coming from rand paul and Chris Christie that hey parents do have a choice here. They should be given a choice. They shouldnt be coerced or mandated. Well, it goes right down to if you say parents should have a choice, youre saying essentially its okay to be a little pregnant, you know . No. You get a vaccine or you dont. You cannot have theres no vaccine against this infection of ignorance and junk science which is too flattering a term for this. The sense of wait. Parents dont get a choice . What about that argument i mean, because should you have to be required to get a child a vaccine . Yes, yes. Heres the thing. We should not only have to be, i think that if the president really wanted to do some job on this he would go for legislation which is in the end the only thing that is going to conquer i disagree with you, it should be handled by the states. I think the states can handle it very well. This is not my religion, its yours. But let me say that there is no way of getting through to the kind of basic narcissism and smugness, and theyre the motivating factors. We know better whats good for our children. You cannot have Public Health succeed with this kind of feeling. That there are no constraints. But how did it come to this point . I mean, joe is right. The vaccination process is one of the great achievements of science. We remember the polio children killed children so why do people hear things and think that the scientists are lying to them . And i think its because we have seen the politicalization of science in the last 15 or so years. I would certainly cite climate warming. They claim that republicans can serve as antiscience, but the campaign on behalf of the climate warming has been highly politicized or you have Something Like the endangered species act or some of the Environmental Protection agencys, so called scientific studies. This causes them to think that science just politics. So how do we know that theyre telling us the truth about the vaccinations . Its been very destructive. I think the scientists have an obligation to say, were going to stay in the business of telling what we know, not trying to drive politics. Go ahead. Sorry, example a whats the greatest greatest climatologist, robert f. Kennedy jr. Who was one of the early ones to sound the alarm on vaccines. But it allows for exemptions, religion exemption, for example. Some states have whats called the philosophical exemption which is a pretty broad one. You can say i dont want to vaccinate my child. So parents all right forced to vaccinate their children if they dont want to. I think the parents have the right to make decisions on behalf of their children. But states are trying to balance the rights of the minor who cant consent to needed medical care and the danger to others. Lets take an infant who goes to disneyland with their parents, too early to be vaccinated. But happens to be exposed to measles from somebody who wasnt. That child is in peril. Thats right. Compromised disorders, things like that. So what the states say is you cannot you can opt out of this, but oftentimes youre barred from using public schools, public amenities. So theyre trying to strike a balance here. With science. And individual rights. All right. Thank you all very much. When we come back, washingtons internet power grab.

Well, president obama demanded it in november and this week, the fcc fell into line with chairman tom wheeler unveiling a plan to regulate the internet as a public utility, using century old rules meant for railroads and telephone monopolies to rein in todays Broadband Communications companies. Wall street journal assistant editorial page editor, James Freeman and mary kissel join us with more. So james, for since going back to the clinton years the internet has been regulated lightly as an information service. Why now change it to a potential monopoly regulation . Thats the question, because this policy has worked so well. Its become this amazing instrument of international and interstate commerce. So what the president is proposing and now the fcc is going to implement is a massive expensive solution to a problem that doesnt exist. Its a theory that your traffic on the internet is going to be blocked and youre going to be discriminated against as a customer and this has got a lot of legs with a very misleading internet video and tv show from comedian named john oliver last summer. A lot of people had this idea that Big Companies are about to stop you from launching what you want on the internet. So the solution to the problem that doesnt exist is telephone style regulation for the internet. So try yeah, i want you to answer my question. Why are they doing this now . Is this an irrational fear . Well, the internet is not broken, but the Obama Administration wants to expand bureaucratic power before they leave the office. So what the fcc is saying is we want the ability to set prices and also eventually to tax. So its like what we saw with obamacare. Its a bureaucratic takeover, politicization of health care. They have done the same thing in banking. Its part of larger pattern. The way that this law allows it allows the regulators to set rates, terms and conditions. Now, you can drive a lot through those three words, including price controls and including maybe content regulation. Now, the fcc chairman said it will be a light touch. Hes promising forebearance on the prices and thats what they all say. Its massive shift in power. Youre asking where is this coming from. Its an unholy alliance between progressive activists and Silicon Valley. Progressive activists like the political control that mary mentioned. Yeah. What about netflix amazon . Google . Whats in it for them . Google had a change of heart here because the irony is the administration says, well, you know, we want to help the little guy but by increasing regulatory uncertainty, what are they going to do . Theyre going to help the big incumbents. Verizon, comcast, all the people entrenched in the big lobby interests in washington and google is trying to compete with these people. And now, google is against this. Well what is in it for to the Companies Like netflix . Netflix and youtube together generate more than half of the internet traffic. What they dont want to is have to pay for that service that theyre using at market rates. So i think now they realize this monster they have created will end up hurting them too. Google is google is stepping back a bit. But the general idea was Silicon Valley wanted washington to force providers of communication services, Broadband Networks to give them a better deal. So what they did is they aligned with progressives who want the government to control the internet. And i think Silicon Valley is going to regret this. I think theyre already regretting it. Theyre already stepping back but the loser is the customer because this is going to be more expensive service, less innovation. I mean, the old telephone system, a lot of young people who are into this movement dont understand roughly a century the technology did not change. You had a choice of a phone either black or very black. You know . The big innovation after years was you could turn up the volume on the ringer. People do not understand how bad it was and how bad it can be. The only way to change this though, if they go through with this, the only way to take it is on in court by challenging it legally, which will be and happen in many cases. And then elect a elect a new government. All right. We have to go. We have to take one more break. When we come back, hits and misses of the week. Time now for hits and misses of the week. Mary kissel, start us off. I cant believe im saying this but a big hit to a big bureaucracy, the food and Drug Administration which said this week that its going to help terminally ill patients get faster access to experimental drugs or at least go through the application process faster. Of course the bureaucrats arent going to make it easier for the Drug Companies to provide those drugs but for now, its a great first step. So a hit to the fda. Mary ogrady . This is a hit for the late ronald reed who died last year and it turns out he died at the age of 92. He left 6 million to his local library in vermont and the local hospital. Now, thats a lot of money for someone who worked at a gas station and as a janitor for his life all of his life. How did he do it . He was very frugal, but he was also an investor and he was a regular reader of the wall street journal. Amazing. Millions you can make. Yeah. Cant guarantee those results for everyone but it helps. Wait for the disclaimer. I want to give a hit kudos to the Internet Users of china. The chinese regime recently said that too many of them are guilty of violating core socialist values. What a great thing to be doing on line, countrizing the regime. The government is cracking down. Keep it up Internet Users of china and keep violating those socialist ideas. And read the wall street journal. You could get rich too. Remember, if you have your own hit or miss, be sure to tweet it to us. Thats it for this weeks show. Thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. Im paul gigot. I hope to see you right here next week.
