and she said we're here and we're doing what we could do. and that's who isis has kidnapped and who a jordanian air strike killed. nobody is buying it. listen to the jordanian minister of information. >> it just doesn't add up. we're highly suspicious of the story and nobody can identify the nationality of an airplane in the sky and what would that lady be in a storage of weapons and training centers for terrorists? >> reporter: they sent some video of air strikes in syria, they didn't hit anybody except air drops but no clue that she would have been there. the last they heard anything from her was p the beginning of 2014 when they sent a proof of life email, if you will, showing her in a hijab but tonight there were protests, the queen was with all of them today after friday prayers. people in the streets demanding that this fight against isis continue and intensify retribution for the loss of their hero meagan. >> thank you. the administration was tight lipped on meagan. after we heard weeks about the terror threat from various people national security advisor, susan rice, put the terror threat on the same footing as climate change and said we shouldn't give in to alarmism. >> while the dangers we face may be more numerous, they are not of the existential nature we faced during world war ii or the cold war. we can not continue to be buffetted by ialarmism. >> tell that to others who say the threat we face are as dier as those of the past. >> before world war roamii people believed if they just gave hitler a german portion of a country, he would be fine, they didn't understand that he wanted a master race. these muslims have no place in this world. they want a master religion. >> and we had your counterpart on earlier this week, sir. and he seemed to agree with others who say this is the communism ofory time isis and that we need a global strategy to defeat it and in their eyes, it's a war against radical islam. what say you? >> i agree we need a global strategy and this is the fundamental challenge of our time. i don't agree this is the equivalent of world war ii i don't think it adds anything to compare it with world war ii. it is a difficult enemy and we have to make this in concert with others and i'm hoping that death of the jordan pilot will gavelinize the arab world. >> and we heard the fbi director saying he has people investigating an isis presence in every state of the union except alaska. they are planning on kidnapping more westerners. as someone who sitsz on the intelligence committee what is your number one concern with isis? >> my number one concern is with the extraordinary loss of life that we are seeing around the world, not just in syria and iraq, we are having attacks in paris, australia and we're not immune to this and we have to protect ourselves and protect the homeland and ultimately that means we have to fight isis in their source. and i think we are making head way in iraq but not much in syria and i think we're going to have to defeat isis in iraq first. and if we went win at least 100,000 troops and potentially occupy that country for a decade and it will require a wholesome model for this country but i don't think we want to repeat the model we had in afghanistan. >> do you believe that meagan was killed by a jordanian air strike? >> i don't believe the at all. it's all too convenient for them to claim that this poor woman was the only person killed that there were no other isis people around. far too convenient as a propaganda move. soy i certainly hope and pray that she is alive. if she is not, there's only one party responsible and that's isis. >> thank you so much for being here tonight sir. >> thank you, meagan. >> and nbc anchor man brinyan williams is accused of embellishing his story in iraq to make himself out to be a hero. we will go over step, by step what he said and the captain of the helicopter he was in is speaking very publicly for the first time. and pope francis spoke about people spanking their children and why people are so upset. and when huh doll hassan opened fire on these people and tonight, very big news.

>> what they told me was that from the very beginning they felt this story was misreported and misrepresented and they've been frustrated and angry about it since then. >> he claims he was part of a group of helicopters going on a mission and one of the choppers took rpg fire ak-47 fire and so on and you have a map that shows are williams' helicopter was not part of that. >> and i spoke with five veterans at length about this. there were two companies here. a chinook company, that came under fire and there was a second group traveling in the opposite direction south carrying bryan williams and the nbc crew. the second company traveling south never came under fire. they finished their mission and ended up landing due to a sand storm. >> now it's coming out that the reports, as far back as 20003232003, when he first got back were not accurate. here is the first one, he offered the following audio from one of the choppers that was apparently in the big windy group, it was not in the group he was in, that was heading in the totally opposite direction. here's how he reported it. >> indeed just before we're able to make our drop radio traffic makes clear this routine mission is running into trouble. >> we currently are not under fire but we are looking for some kind of security. >> we took fire on the way misleading? >> because that's a different company altogether. >> i should tell you that the pilot of bryan williams' flight he said "our flight was objective rams was uneventful and the exception of a dust -- and the second thing that happens is he suggests the chinook, that bryan williams was in was almost blown out of the sky. >> suddenly without knowing why, we've been ordered to land in the desert. and we learn that other helicopter was almost blown out of the sky. >> in no way was he following this chinook that came under fire. again, he was in a separate formation and separate company traveling in the opposite direction. so i don't see in any way how you could accurately portray that as aircraft that was following his. >> and he talked about how the big windy aircraft was not part of our uniontunit. i ", the big windy aircraft was not part of our unit. it was not part of our flight." this was the pilot of the helicopter. bryan williams began the story in 2003, and this was not true. then we heard him get very explicit about the fact that the helicopter in which he road actually took ground fire. >> two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire, including the one i was in rbpg and ak-47. >> and not supported by the facts? >> not supported by the facts. i have two veterans who were on aircraft in the company he was flying with and they said they took no fire at any point in that day. >> and then it culminated in a report last friday, where this was the grand sort of -- you know, the grand daddy of all the stories he told where now the aircraft he was traveling in received rpg fire. >> the story actually start with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq where a helicopter we were traveling in was hit by an rpg. >> i had never heard that one before. that was taking it to a whole new level. >> that was flawed. >> and he said the captain of his aircraft had received a purple heart for a wound to the ear. >> and again simian says i inthe pilot and i do not have a purple heart and my ear is just fine. >> and the rpg pushed some of these veterans over the edge and they got more vocal and spoke with you, stars and stripes. and then he had to issue an apology and now they're still saying it's misleading. >> i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire, i was instead in a following aircraft. >> what's wrong with that? >> again if you see how these companies were flying, there's just no way to explain it as you were following this other aircraft. it also implies that he was close. you know, i was told by these crews that when these chinooks fly, they have several rotor blades in with between them. that's close enough to have very good visuals on the aircraft there. so, traveling in the opposite direction, it just cannot be described as following the aircraft. >> what do these guys who was actually there think he's been dwoog doing with the story? >> they think he wants the glory and he wants to share in the glory of this story and it's an extraordinary story. the guys on this one chinook, were fortunate to survive. >> he inflated his memories over the years do they accept that? >> the veterans i spoke with who talked to me about this apology, they accepted it. one said i don't want to kick him while heezer rr down now, but i think the wider military population, there's a lot more arrange out there and plenty of people calling for williams to be fired. >> i do want to tell the viewers that there was one man who went on cnn and claimed to be the pilot of the flight williams was in, and that has been recanted and he was the one supporting that there was fire and now he says he doesn't know if that was true and now there are doubts that he was on this mission because this other guy says he sr the is the pilot. >> i have howie kurts coming up. we had a very fiery debate and the viewers logged in. those are the statements. you heard them yourselves. what do you think. follow me on twitter at meagan kelly. but we brought him on to talk about this. -- well, in a second i'll tell you. and what may have caused the plane crash. and of course, there is a story. and there is a twist in the story about bruce jenner, the man who took home a gold for decath lawn and that he is doing surgery to become a woman. >> i worked out a lot and ate a lot of wheaties because a good breakfast with wheaties is good forria and good tasting. ♪ ♪ the bold nissan rogue, with intuitive all-wheel drive. because winter needs a hero. now get 0% financing or up to $1,000 back on the 2015 nissan rogue. nissan. innovation that excites. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. ♪ are your joints ready for action?

>> i wouldn't say so now, he's had a long solid career at nbc. if you say it's a one time mistake, he probably hangs onto his job but if there's more he has a credibility crisis. >> and jenner why do you say this is a media circus. >> this is media circus with bruce jenner at the circle. and that's because over the years, we see the pictures and the change in his appearance and he hasn't said a word. and this isn't a man living in a fortress, he is in reality shows and for him to be silent about this, kind of creates this mystery that's been filled with gossip columns. >> and he lives with these kardashians where everything they do is fauder for reality tv. and do you believe this will take millions of americans who don't know what it's like to be transgendered and know what it is to go through that?
