that tragic loss of life. those attacksthat do not represent islam any more than those mass shootings that have happened in other places in the country represent christianity, anymore that violent extremism represents judaism. violent extremism is not with the muslim american people of our country are about. i know this because they are my neighbors. [applause] we have a challenge because democracies are most vulnerable after an attack. that is what democracies are vulnerable in turning upon themselves. if we get above the values -- give up the values, that is what gives us the freedom to worship, freedom to associate. if those are the first things we give up because of our reluctance to speak up and give voice to the truth, shame on us. donald trump and his sort of language is not what our country is about or where it is headed. enough for evil to succeed if the good men and women do not speak up. i wanted to be here today in solidarity. i have served just over the river from you and maryland for two terms. everybody always likes their neighboring governor better, right?

militant islam with nuclear weapons. to defeat isis and let iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle but lose the war. we can't let that happen. but, that my friends, is exactly what could happen. if the deal now being negotiated is accepted by iran. that deal will not prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons. it would all but guarantee that iran gets those weapons, lots of them. lou: the president didn't watch the speech, but did review the transcript and found, quote, there was nothing new in it. the president then urged americans to trust him, not to make a bad deal. >> what i can guarantee is that if it's a deal i've signed off on, i will be able to prove that it is the best way for us to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. and for us to pass up on that potential opportunity would be a great mistake. it's not one they intend to make, and i will take that case to every member of congress once we actually have a deal. lou: we'll take up the question of whose world view the american people should trust, whether any deal with iran can be assured, can be verified. i

to try to free two nationals believed to be held by islamic state. and they think the ransom deadline has expired. >>> the mother of journalist kenji goto is pleading to islamic state to free her son, and says that he is not their enemy. >>> former thai prime minister yingluck shinawatra has been found guilty of dereliction of duty. the duty bans jing luck from political activity for five years. and another setback at the fukushima daiichi plant. the operator cannot keep the schedule for dealing with the buildup of tainted water. >>> japan's prime minister has seen the deadline to free two nationals taken by islamic state pass. members of his administration assume they had until 2:50 p.m. on friday japan time to pay a ransom. and they've been casting a wide net looking for help. the video emerged online tuesday showing a purported member of islamic state threatening to kill two hostages. he demanded $200 million in ransom within 72 hours to save their lives. abe has been urging his cabinet members to do all they can to secure the release of kenji goto and haruna yukawa. a jap

there's one giant thing that was missing. any mention of islamic extremism. take a look. >> countering violent extremism begins with political, civic, and religious leaders rejecting sectarian strife. when people are oppressed and human rights are denied, particularly along sectarian lines, or÷ ethnic lines, when dissent is silenced, it feeds silent extremism. 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. so if we're serious about countering violent extremism, we have to get serious about confronting these economic grievances. >> and with me now to discuss, republican congressman lee zelden who is a member of the house foreign affairs committee. welcome, thank you so much for coming in on a snowy evening in new york. so my first question is, what was accomplished this week at this, what i've been calling the generic extremism summit

islamists. having spent the last two weeks insisting we label jihadi terrorist islamic, many cry we must fight them on ideological front. fine. such a struggle against radical islam will be different from vast cultural struggles and will yield somewhat surprising recommendations for action. our image of an ideological war comes from the cold war, a titanic struggle between two complete world views. that struggle was so pervasive and intense because the enemies ideas were potentially attractive to anyone anywhere in the world. communism and capitalism were both secular ideologies, each trying to seduce the world's undecided into its camp. it's difficult to remember today that for decades communism was alluring to tens of millions of people. in the 1920s and '30s, many of the western world's greatest intellectual like irish playwright george bernard shaw and the historian h.g. wells were enamored of it. in 1940s, communist parties got large chunks of the vote in free elections in france and italy, leaving many observers to worry those countries would choose to become communists. around the

very public split with the nation of islam and its leader, elijah muhammad, malcolm x was closely watched by the fbi and cia and he said many times he knew his life would soon be over. but neither his fate or role in history was preordained. malcolm x's story isn't just how it ended, but also about who he was and why he was killed. >> i don't work. i'm a man who believes that i died 20 years ago. and i live like a man who is dead already. i have no fear whatsoever of anybody or anything. >> i feel as though he knew his life was in extreme danger. >> malcolm is tired. physically exhausted. he has been on the road, he spent a lot of time trying to hold fast to his closest supporters and loyalists to get them to go along with him on this journey of his evolving ideas on religion, on race, on revolution, on self-determination. his family is under siege. there are these skirmishes between his followers and various people from the nation of islam. there are articles being written in the newspaper of the muhammad speech condemning him as a traitor, suggesting that he is worthy of death f

uae withdrew after the islamic state captured the jordanian pilot who was murdered, burned to death and the video of his murder released tuesday. the white house referred all questions on the issue to the uae government. >> i did see that announcement. i would refer you to them for the latest update in terms of their military participation in the campaign but i don't think people should take away from that announcement that the commitment from the emiratis and other arab countries in the region to the coalition has waned in any way. there's a very important role for them to play in terms of the range of other aspects of our counter-isil strategy. >> well, it has waned, in point of fact in precisely the withdrawal from strikes over syria. we will be taking all of this up with the armed services and judiciary committee member, congressman randy forbes here in moments and if it's not the president asking for more taxpayer dollars it's the bureaucrats working for him. irs commissioner asking congress for more money as the irs continues to make billions in improper payments to illegal im

strike campaign against the islamic state. colonel ralph peters with me next. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. >>> more than 8500 islamic state radical islamist terrorists have been killed in air strikes since august, according to the top general overseeing the anti-islamic state coalition. cent-com chief in testimony before the house armed services committee claims the islamic state is no longer capable of seizing and holding new territory. his comments come as iraqi troops with iranian forces are battling the islamic state, trying to take tikrit. joining us tonight, fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters. great to have you with us. the 8500, this is the first body count that i've heard the pentagon share with anyone. does this mean there's a new metric at work here a new way in which to judge success for the pentagon? >> well, i think they're just struggling for a way to convince us all that this is successful. now, i think it's great if they kill 8500 members of the islamic state. great. g
