Way too early. Thanks to everyone who responded. Fox friends starts now. Good morning. It is monday august 25th. Im elisabeth hasselbeck. State of emergency in california after 6. 0 earthquake rocked napa valley. Nearly 200 injured as businesses and homes crumbled. Now experts warn there may be more to come. We are live at the scene straight ahead. And lucky to be alive. An american hostage freed from the evil clutches of al qaeda. This as authorities close in on james foleys murderer. Now a new report claiming special forces mission that
tried to rescue foley delayed by the president. Miley cyrus turning heads last night but not for what shes wearing. Who is that random kid she sent to receive her award. Actually a good story. Mornings are better with friends. Announcer live from the news crossroads of the world, this is fox friends. Wow, what a professional voiceover. We had the guy who does the promo say, hello, welcome to fox friends. I sure like that. Good morning. Good morning. Were all back together. We had a busy couple days. Brian dropped off little brian at college. Who cried more, you or your wife. We cant reveal that. A big week as he gets started this week. A big milestone. I couldnt believe the velocity of the stories and news coming out during last week. As we were all different places we come together to bring you the fox news alert. A state of emergency in california after a six magnitude earthquake rocks napa. It is the worst earthquake to hit the bay area in 25 years and it is not over yet. Experts warning of strong aftershocks this week to come. Live in downtown napa. Devastating images to look at. What are the experts saying is to come . Thats the big concern. There is still over 30 chance well see a 5. 0 aftershock or greater. A 5 to 10 chance a quake stronger than this one in the next seven days. Thats a big concern. The reason its a concern, you have buildings like this one behind me here that obviously have the damage visible to the eye. You can see bricks have been tossed over, walls are completely gone. Everything hanging still from the ceilings, light fixtures, air conditioning, all of that. You also see the more subtle
cracks in the buildings. Thats a concern as you go all around the town and around the greater area. So many of the buildings still have some sort of cracks in them. They have to get in and survey those buildings and make sure they are safe. If you have an aftershock that comes in after that, these buildings that are potentially weakened, it can cause more damage. A lot of structures not safe. They have deemed 90 to 100 buildings are uninhabitable at this point affirm lot of buildings maybe had not been retrofitted. A big concern, shakeup for people yesterday morning as they were woken to this at 3 00 in the morning. Take a listen to what one of the residents had to say. Im still kind of caught up in how vile enthe shaking was. Yes, its just amazing. You dont think its going to happen in napa. You hear San Francisco, l. A. , for an epicenter to be right here in napa itself is kind of shocking. Talking about that epicenter. When they had the big earthquake 25 years ago, 100 miles to the
south of the napa area and the folks here did not feel it as strongly as they did this one. Keep in mind. If you are 25 years or younger, you did not experience that earthquake before. If you think californians are used toeshes, they dont happen that regularly and not at this magnitude. Guys. Remember it rock the world series at the time in San Francisco. All right, rick. Well check back with you. Great report. Its amazing. With all the advances, you expect a warning, hey, an earthquake will hit. They had one. Ten seconds. They are working on forty seconds or ninety seconds, in which case if somebody was in an elevator, they would be programmed to stop at the next floor so somebody wouldnt be stuck in it. They make sure if somebody is operating, they take the scalpel out. Not enough time for life threateni
threatening. The question is how much time does ainsley need to get from her show to our show. Were on the 12th floor. N you insist on taking the stairs. No elevators as we know theres aftershocks.

Even though she didnt twerk, she let her date, a former homeless teenager accept the honor on stage. Those are your headlines. My friends, back to you guys. All right, ainsley. Thank you. Bad news last week was the fact that jim foley was beheaded. He was an american journalist. The culprits were isis. We have a fox news alert. Thats the image released in the youtube last week. Now the news is good. We actually have news an american journalist by the name of Peter Theo Curtis has been released by an al qaeda affiliate called nusrah front. Once upon a time they were isis but didnt like the level of brutality so they unjoined the club. Why did they release them now . Jim foleys boss said nusrah realized it wasnt in their best interest to be holding an american hostage at this point. That was probably right. The Curtis Family statement indicated to plea for humanitarian efforts for those still in captive. A statement, bravery and heroic efforts firsthand efforts that rallied spirits of familiesi
adds to price. Theres no one who is saying there was a ransom paid but there is a belief catr propelled the group to take over the large swath of iraq and of syria. So nusra trying to say were not bad. We understand america youre about do bomb. Dont bomb us. We think isis is over the top as well. That is yet to be seen. Meanwhile we also have new information about who could be behind beheading of james foley. Last week we told you about according to some of the hostages who were released,
obviously somebody paid money. Three guys with british accents. They refer to them as the beatles. The guy standing right there in the mask, apparently they are pretty confident it is a former londoner by the name of abdul maj majid, rapper played on bbc 1 radio. His father is sitting in an american prison at this hour accused of being complicit with al qaeda in the bombing of the embassies. Dad has to be proud of him. His mom wrote a book about the trauma it brought to her husband and family with the incarceration there and six children. Theres been some written work depicting the pain they were feeling as it relates to this involvement there. You hear i have not listened to some of the music. Hes aa there, which indicates to many that the outreach socially through media, be it music, rap,
twitter, that this group may indeed have, may be an x factor moving forward and the effect they may have on younger and younger recruits. Meanwhile when the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, secretary of defense in the wake of the beheading of james foley comes out and essentially says isis is the worst weve seen, most potent, most well financed terrorist group that the world has ever known, then all of a sudden we realize the threat to america. Other people are trying to sideline that threat and say dont overstate it. Not representative trent franks. Those who want to avoid it are just putting blinders on. Listen. Said you may not be interested in war but war is interested in you. The terrorists are at war with the United States and everything we believe in. If we dont get with the program, they will make horrifying gains before we wake up. This administration seems to be essentially asleep at the wheel. So yes, yes we are at war. We have been for a long time. This Administration Just doesnt realize it. What will the president do. The president got back from his very long vacation in massachusetts. There he is arriving on marine one last night. Interesting sunday times which also broke the news regarding the rapper is a suspect in the beheading. They say the hostage rescue of james foley came too late. Pentagon forces to the columnist that obama was worried troops would be captured or killed. He took too long to authorize the mission. He was worried he would be carterized, reminiscent of jimmy carter who had the failed mission in iran. Soviets invade afghanistan, bush 43 change, got rid of rumsfeld, staged surge enormously successful. Bill clinton changed after
rwanda. Will president obama say i know what i said but im going to change. If he changed he would have come home early. Many say its been going on many years. After this russian beheading war is declared on the u. S. We will all sit by and see what the president decides to do. Were waiting. Exactly 13 minutes after the top of the hour on this very busy monday morning. Coming up, authorities closing in on james foleys murderer reportedly. This british rapper turned terrorists. Jihadi johnny. We dig into his past. Even his fathers tie to al qaeda. Coming up, a man takes a leisurely stroll on top of the Brooklyn Bridge. Now hes in trouble. The bigger question is how did he gets up there . Im randy and i quit smoking with chantix. As a Police Officer, ive helped many people in the last 23 years. But i needed help in quitting smoking. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. It actually caught me by surprise. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. I did not know what it was like to be a nonsmoker. But i do now. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Even 10 miles away. They can see the light of a single candle. Look after them with centrum silver. Multivitamins for your eyes, heart and brain. Now, with a new easy to swallow coating. Great. This is the last thing i need. seriously . Lets take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good ol midas touch. Hey you know what . Ill drive i really didnt think this through. Brakes, tires, oil, everything. whistling
british born rapper is the one they believe beheaded journalist james foley. Here on the militant and more including the released american journalist with waleed. What do we know about the bomber whose dad was part of the embassy bombing. Abdelmajed is a 24yearold british rapper whose music had a lot of violence and broadcasted on bbc. He joined Jihadist Networks and then isis. Were learning from British Forces he most likely is the guy who beheaded the american victim. His father, actually, is in custody in the United States as part of the 1998 bombings in south africa. Isis is about 10,000 strong. They have about 100 americans. How many brits . Well, the sources that we have right now say european democracy of isis is 1800, one would imagine british in the hundreds and french in the hundreds as well. Lets talk about great news. Curtis is released, no ransom
paid. Why debts out . Its fast to say no ransom paid officially. What we can say is al nusrah is part of al qaeda, al qaeda isu[ taliban. Qatar host in their country, including five released by us from guantanamo. You can see the clear chain from al nusra. Why they would do so accused in the media and world of being financier, funder of al nusra, isis and others operating in the middle east. You believe five released higher ups from gitmo pressured qatari government to give him up . The qatari government told them because they are living there on their soil this is an assumption, of course, not information. Who are the highest ranking taliban in qatar . Five generals released from
guantanamo. They do have connection, field connection most likely if it is them who has negotiated. Here is the bigger question debated all weekend. Many are thinking lets team up with syria and iran because we have a common enemy isis. Would that be a wise move . That would ab fn5lum other strategic mistake. If we team up with iran it means we come ally of hezbollah and therefore replacing isis with another organization. Weve done enough mistake, it would be terrible. You think we should wipe them out on our own . Form a coalition with many on the ground, jordanians. Thank you very much. Breaking news, wave released journalist. It doesnt seem as though any ransom was paid. Well find out the details. Thank you so much. Thank you. Coming ahead, it happened again. A man climbs the Brooklyn Bridge in broad daylight.

Caught on camera, another Brooklyn Bridge breach. A backpack wearing thrill seeker sneaks past security and climbs up Brooklyn Bridge. Police say the 24yearold got to the top and started taking pictures with his iphone. He was arrested and charged with Reckless Endangerment and trespass. Im just wondering who is watching the bridge. Speaking about thrill seekers, is this the scariest selfie ever, on top of the fifth
largest skyscraper. The daredevils are infamous for scaling the worlds tallest buildings. Impress me. Steve, elisabeth. I can barely look at that. He had his phone on a stick. 25 minutes after the top of the hour. King of late night jimmy fallon can still get ratings even with jokes about the commander in chief. The president really isnt helping himself by going on vacation. In fact i saw president obama played the eighth round of golf on his vacation today. Hes played so much golf, i guess hes getting pretty good. Hes still not at the pro level yet. Here is Rory Mcilroys tee shot. They are yelling get in the hole, get in the hole. You see the difference with obamast . B watch this. Back to work. Back to the white house. Get back to the white house. You know what, other comedians still protect the president as
one longtime saturday night live writer says, quote, its like being a rock climber looking up at a 1,000 foot high face solid obsidian polished in oil. Not a single thing to grab onto, certainly not a flaw or hookx5u can caricature. Here is weigh in hollywood reporter. Good morning. Nothing to grab onto. Jim downey wrote for saturday night live on and off and mainly wrote political satire jokes. Ones that weve laughed at at home with our families on saturday nights. He says in his books that theres really not that much to make fun of when it comes to president obama because he doesnt have those quirky Little Things like maybe former president george w. Bush has, doesnt pronounce words wrong like nuclear. He feels as though obama is kind of this flawless person that you really cant make fun of. Do you think thats true . Dont you think theres plenty of material there. Listen, i dont think you can make fun of me but my family makes fun of me all the time. At the end of the day everybody is somebody you can poke fun at. Of course. Why do comedians choose not to. We heard from lauren michaels, if you remember, about six months ago. It says, republicans, it seems, can take a joke. Its hard to joke about democrats because they dont think its funny and take it personally. For years, always longstanding in hollywood people have been primarily pro democrat. There is a lot of celebrities like beyonce and jay z, you have oprah, who have really endorsed barack obama. So it wasnt really cool to make fun of him. Why can jimmy fallon get away with it. He certainly does. He has found a thing or two. His ratings going up. Maybe his schedule. Right in the beginning when he took over for jay leno, he was someone conservatives loved. He knew his audience probably would enjoy Something Like that but he wanted to tow the line. Now hes more free with his jokes. Lets be honest. He wants a ratings boost. Were not sure if thats the case. People buzzing on twitter and social media. Hes doing it for ratings. Lets be honest. In 2016 hes going to want every person on that couch. Hes not going to try to polarize people too much of its interesting he started to poke jabs at obama. Who doesnt want ratings particularly when it comes to late night. Comedians love an audience. My question, isnt it worse look like youre in a tank. Politically slanted. Sentence that more something to fear . I can understand what youre saying and i worked for a brief amount of time as an intern at the colbert report. I see a lot of people get their news scarily from Late Night Television and shows like the daily show. You see Stephen Colbert is taking over for david letterman. Im not really sure if thats going to hurt him in the long run. It is interesting hes finally getting the guts to do stuff
like this. Interesting. Is it about ratings, doing the jokes people in america want to hear. Thats why jimmy fallon going up. We thank you so much. 28 minutes after the top. Major shakeup. President of france has dissolved. Does this proof socialism doesnt work . Well tell you what we know. American airlines has a new target for fees. Your kids. Well explain that coming up.

Residents and family describing the shock of being jolted awake by the big one out there. Its an earthquake. While it was a 6. 0, this morning experts warn of an even bigger quake hitting in the future. Rick is in downtown napa right now where rick there are a lot of broken bottles, arent there . Thats one of the side effects of this shaker in napa valley is a lot of broken wine. Yeah, think about it. Its obviously a big industry and think its just wine we enjoy drinking. Its a billion dollar industry. A big hit. Initial estimates on the cost of this earthquake is a billion dollars of damage. That is a very large natural disaster. The immediate problems, things like this. Take a look at this, been here since the 1900s, couple of large earthquakes. Its got steel beams. The outside wall fell into the parking lot and crushed this car. You get an idea how big these
bricks are, how heavy. This happened at 3 00 in the morning. Nobody in the downtown area. A lot of street cafes here. People out, been in the middle of the morning when people are out for brumpl, could have been a very different story. The bigger earthquakes always what is a concern. That possibly this earthquake could have caused more pressure to build up on fault lines potentially more damaging. That probably is the case. Last night director of seismology was on to talk about that. Take a listen what he had to say. We know theres a bigger earthquake coming. We just dont know when it is. In terms of an immediate aftershock from this particular earthquake, its possible we would have a larger magnitude earthquake over the course of the coming few days or weeks. What we know is were going to have larger magnitude earthquakes over the coming years. And the thing is, this
occurred on a fault line called west napa fault line. There are bigger and more dangerous fault lines very close around seven miles away. Potentially the pressure that it released here transferred make of the pressure to the heyward rogers creek fault line. Hv that is the one that potentially could be a stronger earthquake and more deadly. One of the concerns certainly they are watching. Guys. Rick, live in napa, california. Thank you, rick. Gosh, you hope they come up with that system that gives more of a warning, 90 seconds, before that big quake. They say animals can detect it. I bet they can. What do they do . They start yapping. Talking a lot. Squirrels and chip monks we know run for your lives. You never see dead squirrels

P attorney general eric holder visited missouri personally claiming he understood the publics mistrust toward the police. That will outcry weve seen speaks to a sense of mistrust and mutual suspicion that can take hold in relationship between Law Enforcement and certain communities. I wanted the people of ferguson
to know i personally understood that mistrust. I wanted them to know while so much else may be uncertain, this attorney general and this department of justice stands with the people of ferguson. But does this only in flame racial tension and interference with the judicial system we wonder. Joining us former labor secretary nominee for george w. Good morning, linda. Good morning, steve. You just wrote an oped, eric the arsonist, holder fans ferguson flames. What are you talking about . Well, i didnt write the headline but i did write the column. What im talking about is the top Law Enforcement officer in the nation basically coming in before an investigation has even been complete, before the grand jury has heard evidence and basically picking a side. I think that is a terrible
travesty of justice. I think the media has not acted responsib responsibly. I think what is happening is not calming racial fears but actually enhancing them by acting as if this mantra of the unarmed black teenager shot by a white cop. That description in and of itself actually colors the way in which we look at this story. Were talking about an 18yearold man who is 64 and weighs almost 300 pounds, who is videotaped just moments before the confrontation with a Police Officer strong arming an employee and robbing a convenience store. So you know, the way in which the story is being presented does, in fact, i think color the outcome. I think its outrageous when a top Law Enforcement officer is the person who is helping do this. Absolutely. Youre supposed to be impartial,
particularly when youre head of the department of justice, yet theres been a rush to judgment not only by doj but this administration. I think they are sending three representatives to Michael Browns funeral. When you look back how many did they send to the generals funeral a few weeks ago. It seems like theres something going on here . I do think theres something going on. Its politic, domestic politics. I think its an exploitation of the black community. I think its playing the race card and i think its disgraceful. We have another life at stake here, the officer that shot the man. Theres a grand jury hearing evidence. We have yet to hear what actually happened in that encounter. We do know officer wilson has a
spotless record. Never a complaint filed against him, never any suggestion of racial animus. So the way in which this is coming down is not even allowing the grand jury to be able to impartially look at the evidence and make a a decision. You dont order a civil rights investigation before the its so just take its own time. Everything gets sped up so fast these days. Lindaxsthavez joining us from denver, colorado. Thank you very much.

So could your personal information be in the hands of a hacker right now . Here with a tip to protect yourself is curt the cyber guy. Good morning. Scary stuff this morning. Of course. The thing that happened with target and their Security Breach, that will look like a flee compared to whats about to
happen. Right now the Homeland Security office along with the secret service have come up with Security Companies with a tool that they can find whats called the Backoff Malware that affects Cash Register systems. What this means is now american businesses can go look and see if theyve got this. The Early Detection is proving that a lot of them do. Already seven of the companies that make this Cash Register kind of software have admitted to having some of their clients already have an infiltration going on, two of which ups. So if youve taken your box to the ups and used a credit card, watch out. Your maim is now on the list of somebody whose personal information, your credit card, personal data for shopping, anything you gave them is out and open. What happens is hackers break in. They take this, they pilfer through it and they collect it and tell it out on the black market. So your credit will go down the toilet in a matter of seconds from these breaches. Another one was super value. If you shop there, you need to be aware of it. You were talking potential millions of people that are going to be affected about this. What do we do . Undoubtedly. Here is what you do. Right now assuming you havent heard any bad news that youve been affected, take a look at these tips. First, watch your credit card report and those statements like a hawk. Keep your eye on them from now on. Report any unusual activity, not just to your credit card company, but back to any retailer you see there. Then avoid shopping with any sort of debit card. You have less protection with that than a credit card. Specifically before you go, if you hear a company has been hacked that you do business with, what are your steps . Im going to say not if, but when one of the companies you do business with gets on this list, assume all your information is gone. Have a look at the fact that this stuff is gone. Assume that you need to change your credit card numbers. Assume you need to report that in and change your passwords and think of very clever passwords. Ill show you one on line a little bit later. Go to foxnews. Com. Thank you. This is scary, but we promise you its okay. A boy run over bay car and then walks away im randy and i quit smoking with chantix. For 33 years i chose to keep smoking.

Now experts are warning the big one, were talking 30 times as powerful, is coming. We are live in napa. The president back to work today and the former Deputy Director of the c. I. A. Says he better do something about isisqc and he better do something about isis quick. Longterm, 2 1 2, three years, we need to worry about a
911style attack by isis. You dont want to hear that from the top c. I. A. Guy. So what is the president s next move . Well tell you. And at last years vmas she twerked with a foam finger. This year miley cyrus did something that everyone is talking about today. The speech no one saw coming. Well explain. Mornings are better with friends. Youre watching fox friends. Thats a great way to begin your day. Thank you, don king, whose birthday it was a couple days ago. Hes 83 and a friend of the show. Weve got a very, very busy day today. We sure do. Lets get to that fox news alert. A state of emergency in Northern California after a 6 magnitude earthquake rocks napa. It is the worst earthquake to hit the bay area in 25 years. You know what . It may not be over yet. Experts warn an even bigger quake could be opt way. Rick reichmuth has been scrambled out to the west coast. Hes in downtown napa. Rick . We certainly know there will be a bigger one in california at some point. Everybody knows that. That its coming. Also the possibility that this earthquake put more pressure on some of the other fault lines that are bigger and potentially more damaging. One of the people, one of the directors of seismology from the university of californiaberkeley, talked to judge jeanine. Listen to what he had to say. Were already overdue for a big earthquake. Manage my do you do 7, which will affect a much larger number of people in the bay area due to the density, not to mention this will be 30 times as much energy. Reporter yeah. And the thing thats so important about that is earthquake, when you talk about a 6. 0 to 7. 0, it doesnt go up in a linear fashion. It goes up like a bell curve. So it is 30 times more powerful,
a 7. 0 than 6. 0. Thats whats concerning. This is the damage from the 6. 0. You can see it here. Right in the center of the town of napa. And you can see the damage that you have from a 6. 0 earthquake right here. The facade coming down, the corners of the building falling off. This an outdoor area where people hang out and dine. This actually is an outdoor eating area. Had it happened in the daytime, it would have been a different story. 70,000 people were without power at the peak of it. Thats been restored to 65,000 people, which is good. So still 5,000 people without power. About 100 residences will not be inhabitable because of the structural damage. Any aftershocks, there is a 20 we could see one greater than 5. 0 within the next seven days. Thats a big concern, especially with the buildings that have possibly become weakened with this earthquake 24 hours ago. You got to be careful. Rick reichmuth live in napa,

Fox news alert now. American journalist peter curtis has been freed after being held hostage in syria for two years. A hstage terror group had him. He was handed over to u. N. Peacekeepers on sunday. For more. Were going to head over to peter doocy in washington with the latest. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Thats right. The 45yearold american freelance journalist who was held by terrorists in syria since before the 2012 president ial election is now free. The specifics surrounding how he was released are still unknown right now. But his family says the government of qatar helped facilitate the freedom. His family also says no ransom was paid to the alqaeda offshoot and that the release was for humanitarian reasons. Here is more reaction from peters mother, nancy, who was in cambridge, massachusetts. Quote, my heart is full at the extraordinary dedicated, incredible people, too many to name individually, who have become my friends and have tirelessly helped us over these many months. Please know that we will be eternally grateful. The Curtis Family says now they plan to help other families of those being held in syria and a
similar promise is being made from foggy bottom. John kerry explaining every waking hour our thoughts and faith remain with the Americans Still held hostage and wi their families and we continue to use every diplomatic intelligence and military tool at our disposal to find them and bring our fellow citizens home. One of the Americans Still held by isis in syria, steven sotloff, was shown in the same video used to broadcast james foleys execution and isis is threatening that sotloff will soon die as well if the u. S. Does not stop air strikes in iraq. Back to you in new york. Peter reporting live from our nations capitol. The president of the United States returned to the nations capitol last night. He was on marine one after his very long vacation out in Marthas Vineyard. The big question is what will the president do . Listen to this prognosis. I think there is three things we have to worry about. Two are shortterm. One is longterm. The two shortterm pieces are number one, will they inspire somebody here to conduct an attack . The second is there is a number of americans and a number of canadians and a number of west europeans who went to syria to join isis to fight with them. Any one of those could be directed back at the United States to conduct a small scale attack. Over the longterm, 2 1 2, three years, we need to worry about a 911style attack by isis. Higher up longtime guy in the c. I. A. Says look out. The head of the Intelligence Committee in the house, mike rogers, says theyre a plane ticket away from hitting us here at home. General Martin Dempsey, who adds stark terms last week to describe isis says this. Says there is no sign that the Islamic State militants are engaging active plotting against the homeland. So its different from which we see in yemen. So no big deal at home, which means were not going to hit anything until theyre a threat here. No big deal at home is not what many others are saying, as we just heard from mike morell there. There are many levels to be considered here in terms of our safety, particularly when the threat from isis says specifically we will drown you in blood. I mean, im not sure what more of a threat besides our own being beheaded on the world stage, what more information do we need to understand that the threat is here, it is happening, there is a war . Sure. The fact that they beheaded that american, that is an act of war. How about the isis spokesman who said that we will raise thegu s flag in the white house . How about the guy ho said see you in new york . For Martin Dempsey, him to say no syria action at this point, and the fact that he was much more direct last week, you got to wonder whether or not politics from the administration is coming into play, where after he said the stuff on thursday,
somebody from the white house called him and said, come on. We cant do anything right now. Maybe the secretary of defense and the chairman were freelancing while the president was golfing . Maybe. 12 minutes after the hour. Up next, is this guy proof terrorists are already inside the under the circumstances us . Why hes being called the first jihadi serial killer in the United States. But we promise you it is okay to watch. A boy run over by a car gets up and walks away. That is unbelievable. First, more beyonce from last nights Video Music Awards. Here i am.

Fears are growing this morning that isis could strike inside the United States. But our sympathizers already here . This man, accused of being a jihadi killer, executed four men
over the last five months. His bloody crusade to punish the brown told cops, quote, my mission is vengeance. Iraq, syria, afghanistan, all these places where innocent lives are being taken by america, by this government. So a life for a life, end quote. If you think he is a lone wolf, our next guest says think again. Joining me is founder of the American Islamic founder for democracy. Thank you for being with us. That quote sending chills through many a spine. Is he a lone wolf . I cant tell you how harmful this term lone wolf is because while at the last step they may act as part of their own actions as far as a terror violence is concerned, lone wolf implies hes not connected to the global narrative of radical slammism and isis is using and operating at a band width that weve never seen before. Its a significant threat and we
see the same thing that many apologists wanted to say after the boston marathon. There have been 300 arrests of radicalized muslims who may ultimately not be part of a big Terror Movement as far as their last steps of actions are concerned, but to drive the fuel that moves them is a narrative, a global narrative that antifreedom, antiwestern, that targets america, targets britain, targets all those that stand in the way of an establishing an Islamic State and the islamist moved around the world. We heard from general Martin Dempsey that isis is not a direct threat right now on our soil, that this is not as big of a deal as we thought last week. What do you think about that . Is he wrong . As somebodhnn is on the front lines, countering these ideologies as a muslim, it is just horrifying to me that we cant seem to yet get this right in that okay, fine, its almost like we have a whacka mole
program, globally as far as boca haram, isis, Muslim Brotherhood and others, yet we say its not a big threat, lets ignore it and it will go away. Same thing with individuals, like mohammed brown, et cetera, we dont want to deal with the deeper problem and say the problem is bigger than ever since 911. And the reason they say there is no threat, because they dont want to operate in a realm where they have a strategy, where they identified that this is the new cold war of the 21st sentry. Global slammism is on the rise. The president and his administration do not want to figure out what to fill into that vacuum, so they would rather say there is no vacuum of the for those of us trying to front on the front lines, were hanging with no support. So you would say isis indeed may already be here . You know, the u. K. Had more muslims go to fight with isis than they have muslim in the royal armed services. So there is 500plus and there
have been almost 1,000 that have gone. Its not only here, it may be easier for isis rather than going to the middle east like syria or iraq to operate on the soil here and i hope and pray our Homeland Security is following it because its not whenfy1ur if, but when we get attacked on our soil. Im sorry to say. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up, a star Soccer Player who scored the game winning goal killed before he even leaves the stadium.

Now tvs top veterinarian is back for a whole new season of the incredible dr. Paul. Hi, sweety. A heifer is a cow that hasnt given birth before. So youll see complications more often in heifers than you will other cows. She does not surprise us. Slow down. She is getting nervous. She is getting nervous, thats right. Dr. Paul also giving his own diagnosis of the controversy surrounding the horsedrawn carriages here in new york city. And joining us with him hes got a new book never turn your back on an angus cow, also by our other guests. Thank you for joining us, and especially whats the name of this horse . Dicen. You visited where the horses are. What did you find . I found that the stalls were clean as a whistle and the horses are very well taken care of. Thats not what the mayor is saying. The mayor and his supporters have said that these horses are badly treated, they got to shut down the horse drawn carriage business that has been flourishing here for decades. Yes. But for me, what i saw was fantastic. Sometimes i say i wish my own clients were taking care of their horses as well as what they are here. Really . In my book, you can see more about what ive had experience with bad horse people. Ive seen it every day in daily life, in the show you can see some of it. These horse are looking good. What does it mean to you that you hear this now, obviously so many people enjoy the Carriage Rides. Its historic here in the city. Seemingly the mayor wants to clamp down on it. But to hear this must be uplifting. Its another feather in our cap, between veterinarians like dr. Paul coming to us and
weighing in on the issue, you know, without a biased opinion, it means the world to us, as well as this week having to work with family parties come out and support us as well. Do you think it will change things in terms of what the mayor is pushing . Its up to the mayor. Were compiling our case, making a very good case, a very strong case. 66 of the new yorkers want us to stay. We have the Manhattan Chamber of commerce, 75 want to us stay. Veterinarians coming from all over the world and our ridership is very good. Were lucky to have like the top vet in the whole plan the here, the incredible dr. Paul. You got this new book out and thats the reason you were in new york city, promoting your new book. And somebody said, you got to look at the horses. What do you mean, never turn your back on an angus cow . If you turn your back, you dont know whats happening behind you. They can come after you, they can go away, if youre lucky. Because cows can run faster than people . Quite a bit faster, yes. Who knew . In fact, you say pretty much any
animal can outrun a human . Thats correct. Most animal can outrun a human. Never take your eyes off an animal that you dont know. This one doesnt move unless its 50 cents a minute. Would your new headline be never turn your back on the horse drawn carriage . You can say sit in it and enjoy it. Thank you very much. Thank you. High ho silver, brian. In to you. Thanks. A great way to get home if you need a ride. Not again. Another Security Breach at the Brooklyn Bridge as a man climbs it in broad daylight. How the heck did this happen . By the way, why would he want to do it . The president defending his golf game, saying the American People do not care. But even his supporters are not donald trump who loves golf, i cannot wait to see what he has to say. He often has a direct opinion. I think its such a Great Charity and im supposed to challenge somebody. I challenge steve doocy from fox news. Oh, great. Wow. Who are those kids . Wow. Kenny rogers challenges you. Yeah. He challenged me and garth brooks and dolly parton to the ice bucket challenge. You came up in Country Music together. Pretty much. While, werent you . Thats right. I will actually do my best to challenge somebody with the ice bucket challenge at the conclusion of todays program. Donald trump, youre lucky youre not in the studio or you might leave damp. Sounds exciting. He might challenge you. But they have raised a whole bunch of money for als, which has been phenomenal. This has caught on. Having a ton of awareness. Mr. Trump, were glad youre here with us today. Obviously after james foley ex execution and all that we have found since, where did we go wrong and what should the u. S. Do now to prevent an attack like 911 from happening here . I think isis made a terrible mistake when they did what they did obviously, but more importantly, from a certain standpoint by making such a public display of that horrible act. It awakens the lion. It makes people that frankly were very doveish and people
that i speak to all the time, they want to go in and bomb the hell out of them. I really think they made a mistake. They have somebody else over there and people are waiting foc that to happen, for that ugly act to happen. And well see. At the same time when it comes to terrorism, how can you pay in order to stop . It will just then everybody becomes victims and there will be more problems than youre going to solve. So its a really, very, very tough situation. But i think they made a terrible mistake cause people that really wanted to stay out are actually saying we ought to go in and bomb the hell out of them. Well see what happens. You know a lot about financing. These guys have billions of dollars in the banks because qatar is part of the United Arab Emirates and others are essentially paying protection money. Theyre financing these people. We could do a lot of damage not only by hitting with air strikes, but by stopping the money flow. They also have the oil. Theyve taken over a lot of oil
and theyve taken over various sections of the oil and if you folks remember, i would always say during iraq, cause i was not a big fan and i was not a fan of what was going to happen after we left, i said we ought to take the oil and keep the oil and i took a lot of heat over it. And i said because if we dont take it, whether its iran or isis or somebody else is going to take it. And thats exactly what happened. But worse than we ever thought took it. So they have oil money and they have a lot of other money and they have money from our socalled friends, the saudis and lots of other people are supporting them. When we look at ourselves and say, what are we doing . No kidding. After the news broke that jim foley was beheaded, a lot of people figured the president of from his golf vacation up in the commonwealth of massachusetts, but he actually didnt. He was enroute back on air force one when he heard the news and didnt turn around. Then yesterday in the pages in,
of all place, the gray lady, the new york times, maureen dowd talked about the golf war. David plouffe was on one of the sunday shows yesterday talking about the president s golfing and that really doesnt stop him from doing a job. Listen. This is a political tradition. When youre the president of the United States, youre never really on vacation. Youre on 24 7. I think this concept of optics fascinates the American People. I think hes wrong, mr. Trump. I think if the image of on the cover of one of the new york tabloids on thursday was the image of jim foley being beheaded and then a shot of barak obama out golfing, that sends a terrible message to americans and to our adversaries around the world. Terrific. I read that. I think shes terrific. I do. I think she hit it on the head. Look, it was a terrible image. Nobody likes golf more than me. Brian likes it. Ive seen brian swing, hes excellent. Hes Getting Better and better all the time. Hell be railing rory very soon. Very soon. But the fact is that it was a terrible time. You have a beheading and then immediately after the News Conference you run off to the golf course and the pictures of him smiling all over the place, i mean, was just terrible. So i thought it was look, nobody likes golf more than me and i think its a great game. I think its the greatest of all games. Every athlete plays it. They literally retire from sports. All they want to do is play golf. Its doing great. Its a phenomenal game. And actually its a great tool for the president. Im not against him playing. He should be playing with boehner and he should be playing with not people that hes grown up with, which is who he plays with. He plays with the same three guys all the time. He ought to be playing with his opponents and become friends with them and make deals that are good for the country instead
of having this total gridlock. But this was a bad time to be playing golf. He could have waited a day or two days. I mean, he played right after the bombing started and he played right after the beheading. I think its a terrible picture. You have pictures all overt world and people are very upset about it. Do you remember when george bush stopped golfing because of the image it sent . Well, i did hear that, yes. Real quick, in the big picture, senator mick contain said listen, carter changed afterwards, george w. Bush got rid of Donald Rumsfeld and put the surge together. Clinton changed after rwanda. The president comes back, hes home today. Do you think hell have a different approach to isis . I think he will. I think hes going to get tougher. I think hes going to have to probably get tougher. Again, the beheading was horrible to see that at this age and this day and age was just incredible. I certainly hope they have the one nabbed i would love to see them nab that guy and
frankly, we should do the same thing to them. As i said on one of my tweets, we will read them their miranda rights, we will have them in court for the next 20 years. Its ridiculous. They seem to know who did it, the beheading, and boy, i hope they get them. But you have to take strong action because ultimately some really bad things are going to happen for this country. You have to nip it in the bud and its got to be nipped strongly. You do think he will take stronger action . I do see that, yeah. I think thats going to happen. I think its going to have to happen. And the only thing is that countries that are really strongly affected by this arent taking action. Were fighting for other countries and not being reimbursed. We owe 17 trillion and that number is going up rapidly. Not being reimbursed. Were doing all of this work for other countries. Why arent other countries doing things . And countries that are frankly much more affected than we are . But yes, i think he will take
i hope his language indicates that as well. Thank you for joining us. Thank you very much. The first thing he should do is restore the financing to the military. He cuts it to the bone and asks them to do extraordinary things. Lets see if he does anything. He could come back from vacation last week, but he didnt. Headline time with ainsley earhart.

Its a nonnicotine pill. Chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. It actually caught me by surprise. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix.

and medicare plans. This morning calls growing for the president to clearly lay out a strategy, a comprehensive strategy to defeat isis. From chuck hagel to americas top military officer, experts across the board are saying the threat is real, calling the group, quote, beyond anything weve seen. Is the u. S. Ready, willing and able to destroy isis . After all, we just cut our military to the bone. Here to weigh in is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. You need a comprehensive strategy. Its not just going to be lets go invade iraq. You know this as well as anybody, the issue is ready, willing and able. The United States has not determined or developed a cohesive comprehensive, direct and clear policy. Lets look at the situation as it exists now. About one quarter of iraq is under isis control. We see the isis presence in
syria and iraq. The issue becomes will we in fact strike syria in a very hard directed way to take out isis command and control centers, cause we know isis speaks to syria and iraq. So to take iraq without taking syria becomes a real issue. Well, we see that syria had a strategy. So they were being invaded by protesters. They asked us for some finances. They said they wanted to bring democratic principle noose that country. Who knows, but it would be better than assad. We let them go. So assad thought ill let the terrorists come in, wipe out the Free Syrian Army and then ill only have one enemy and the west will look at this enemy. That enemy got so big, no one could control it. The issue becomes now are we going to team up with assad . Are we, according to some democratic liberals in this country, team up in a civil war with assad, the fellow who we regarded as an enemy . This is what some people are saying we should be doing. Conducting special op raids, air strikes, even close the Turkish Border which is the poorest bodier between syria and turkey. And the problem is intelligence going to the ready and willing and able point through articles in the washington post, through other leaks are saying we dont have the capacity. The drones cant do it. We really cant bomb syria in a robust, effective manner. We shouldnt be doing it. We should wait for months. There has also been this liberal lean that somehow isis is not nazi germany. Isis is not communism in the 40s and 50s. Its not a real threat, that its a regional threat, that its part of a regional civil war that we shouldnt be involved with. But we saw what happened to mr. Foley and what happened to christians and what happened to other minorities. They promise to do do the same thing to the other westerners in their custody. When that was written last night, general dempsey saying
this is apocalyptic. This group is better financed, better trained than anyone weve ever seen. Last night on the plane he tells a group of reporters that isis is more of a regional threat and is not currently plotting or planning attacks against the u. S. Really . Because 100 of the 10,000 are americans its transformation. General dempsey said it was apocalyptic, it was end of days, that they had a vision for destruction. There were notions of a black flag over the white house. There were notions that there was going to be a second 911 attack greater because this is an organization that has a billion dollars in resources. Clearly, clearly someone in the white house has gotten to general dempsey to say, you better pull those remarks back. Well probably see those remarks being pulled back by secretary of defense hagel as well. Well see this attack by liberal democrats in the congress that say, wait, wait, wait. Were war weary. We cant do this. It may be a risk of a second 911, but we can take care of it in other ways. We see now an International Force of socalled seals and
green berets and other folks. We need a coalition of the willing. Jordanians, saudi arabia, people in the middle east to stand with america against isis and against terrorism. We can not ignore this threat. Not as a favor to us, for their own security. We are not ready, willing and able yet. Hopefully we will become between. Thanks so much. Great to see you. And good donald trump tie. Next up, final exams for your kindergartener. It could happen. Is that a good idea . A debate next. Dont tell him or her until we settle this.

thousands taking to the street in new york city over the weekend as al sharpton led anticop rally aimed at seeking justice in the death of eric garner and Michael Brown. But new numbers show the city is a lot safer unless you happen to be a bad guy. So how did the nypd turn it around . Were going to ask former nypd detective, Thomas Ruskin who joins us now. Good morning. Go4j morning. First off, i want to step back. What do you think about the white house actually sending representatives to the funeral and services for Michael Brown today . I have never seen the white house send representatives to anyones funeral. Theyve never sent it to my knowledge to any new york city Police Officers funeral where hes been killed in the line of duty or anywhere else in this country. So for them to send three representatives to a guy who
robbed a convenience store, no matter what happened with the shooting, to me, makes my blood boil. Its interesting. You mentioned Police Officers who have died not had representatives from the white house at their services in the line of duty. 44 Police Officers lost their lives while protecting new york since 2000 alone. 23 on september 11. What is the message . Right here in new york city, so much good has come from Law Enforcement really stepping it up, while the messaging is hey, police, stand back. What do you think about this . I dont think any Police Officer in this country who has sworn to give his life to defend other officers or civilians is ever going to step back. But youre going to think twice before taking certain types of actions . Why . Because if youre going to be criticized and second guessed day after day after day in the media with all these innuendos of what happened, dr. Badens
autopsy shows me he was shot with his hands down. He was shot three times in the arm in the front of his arm. Not with his hands up. So if his hands were down, he didnt have his hands up. What youll find through this investigation, i think and this has been my history in following these cases is that the people who originally come forward changed their story when they have to testify in front of a grand jury and give a testimony under perjury, under he were penalty of perjury. Wont people take advantage of the fact that police going to be closer looked at in terms of their procedure . Will there be those lurk to go take advantage of this moment postMichael Brown . Well, Police Departments routinely look at their procedures after any major shooting in this country. So i think that thats to be expected and Police Officers expect that. Police officers will still go out there every single day and risk their lives around this country for the citizens that they are sworn to protect. I know a lot of lives have
been saved. A lot of minorities lives have been saved since the nypd changed their procedures for the better. Thank you. Thank you so much. The president arriving back at the white house overnight.

We begin with a fox news alert. The left coast still bracing for aftershocks after a massive 6. 0 earthquake. El4 nearly 200 injured as businesses and homes crumble. Now experts are warning aftershocks could be Even Stronger than the original quake. We are live in napa. Then an american hostage freed from the evil clutches of alqaeda. This as authorities close in on apparently james foleys murderer. That man in the mask. Now a new report claiming the special forces mission that tried to rescue foley was delayed by the president. Bret baier weighs in on that straight ahead. Yep. And the challenge is on. I challenge steve doocy from fox news. Wow. Steve doocy accept kenny rogers als ice bucket challenge . You know when to get covered in ice does that mean yes . Stick around. Youll find out in 57 minutes. Mornings are better with friends. Youre watching fox friends, the number one morning cable news show in america. Thank you, colonel david hunt. Welcome aboard. Live from new york city and washington, d. C. Because bret baier joins us every monday at this time. Good morning to you, bret. Good morning. Bret, isis is a big fat mess now and with the beheading, there were a lot of people who suggested the president should cut his vacation short. He didnt. But today he is back in washington, d. C
but yesterdays drum beat got pretty loud. Weve got to do something about isis now or theyre going to come get us. It really did. The president s got a full plate here dealing with this terrorist army. Weve talked about it not only in iraq, but syria and the threats for attacks on western interests not only in europe, but in the u. S. They are continuing. You talk to intelligence officials here in washington and they will tell you that this particular brand of terrorist, this isis group, this terrorist army is really moreover lent, more dangerous than alqaeda and theyre a lot bigger. They originally thought there were only 10,000 or so. Could be five to ten times that now. And its growing. We know this, you can count on islamic extremists to always overstep. I would say, venture to guess, that the brutal beheading of this journalist, unprovoked, just covering a conflict, a serious civil war is the
overstep. Now everyone is alerted to it. But you agreed reading between the lines. Why would the chief of staff say to reporters on a plane last night that its more of a regional threat, not really a threat to us at home . Did someone pressure him . Maybe, because boy, thats not the message youre getting from various Intelligence Committees up on capitol hill or frankly intelligence officials who speak to us anonymously because they look at it and they see a real threat to the homeland and real threat to european interests. Hundreds of these isis guys have foreign european passports. We have a representative out of arizona who said this, we have a war, its right here whether you want it or not. Take a listen. Trotsky said you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you and the terrorists are at war with the United States and everything that we believe in. If we dont get with the program, they will make horrifying gains before we wake
up and this administration seems to be essentially asleep at the wheel. So yes, yes, we are at war. We have been for a long time. This Administration Just doesnt realize it. Is part of the president s agenda right here because he has to realize that he cant be in denial, bret, to replace, talk about replacing, removing, why arent we replacing funds in terms of our Defense Department . Yeah. Listen, when you see the Justice Department open up an investigation into the beheading of james foley, thats a different signal. It is a Law Enforcement action as far as many people call that an act of war with this group and they have to be taken out. We heard that this weekend. Its important to point out, to go back to what the chairman joint chiefs said, to hear the context. It is a regional threat now, but could it grow and be a threat and jump to a european or u. S. Problem . Thats really the question. Sure. On thursday we had jim foleys boss at that web site he worked at, he was on with us and he said that last spring when a number of european hostages were released, they told the intel people, hey, theyre holding them in the city of raka, in the syrian city, thats where youll find james foley. They didnt have the raid where they tried to rescue him until summer. You got to wonder why they waited a couple of months. Now there is a property from the sunday times of london, which also accurately said that it looks like the fellow who did the beheading was a rapper, british rapper. Now tony harnden says pentagon sources have said that barak obama worried u. S. Troops would be captured or killed and he took too long to authorize it because he worried elder carterrized. What would to jimmy carter after he launched that failed mission in 1980 to rescue the american hostages taken by the iranians would happen to him. Now the question is, did the
president wait too long . Sure, i think there are going to be a lot of monday morning quarterbacking about what should have been done when and clearly in any operation into a place like syria, there would be that thought in the administration about 1980 and the failed effort by the delta force into tehran or frankly, blackhawk down more recently, some incident that would draw the u. S. In if they were not a what they did. This administration obviously launched the bin laden raid. Clearly they made calculations to go forward before. But this time for one reason or another, they didnt. We dont know the accuracy of that sunday times report. I think that you are going to suspect and the british rapper potentially, hes one of the suspects. Theyre trying to do voice analysis as well as other investigative tools to try to pinpoint this group because
thats a real threat to great britain, which is why you saw the Prime Minister, david cameron, rush back. But if we handle the investigation like a criminal, like once we get him, the threat is over, i think were fooling ourselves. So lets see what the president is going to do. I really got to ask you about another major issue of whats happening in ferguson. Today we understand Michael Brown, the funeral will take place and the white house is sending three representatives. How unpress departmented is this . Unprecedented is this . Clearly theyre trying to make a statement that they support the they want to call for calm on the ground. But it is interesting that the investigation obviously is still going forward, still continuing. We dont really have a clear sense definitively of where that investigation is going. But they are sending three white house aides. Critics will say that thats premature and they look at other events like margaret thatchers funeral where former administration aides were sent. But the father of Michael Brown
is calling for peace and silence and well see and hope thats what happens. He did. He did call for a at this of peace and silence day of peace and silence for their son. We spoke with detective Thomas Ruskin who mentioned that to the best of his knowledge, he doesnt recall the white house sending in a representative to any of the Police Officers that died, 44 of them, since early 2000. No one from the white house appeared at their funerals. No white house aides went to jim foleys service. Thats right. But im not listen, i dont know what this sends. Clearly the administration has been taking heat from the left for the president not speaking up more forcefully. And now hell take heat from the right for sending aides. All right. Bret baier joins us every monday morning at this time. Thank you very much. All right. Now to a fox news alert, residents in Northern California surveying the damage following a
6 magnitude earthquake in napa. Officials declaring a state of emergency, saying losses could top 1 billion. Rick reichmuth joins us. That is a heavy load of damage financially on top of the physical damage we see. Reporter yeah, youre absolutely right. The earthquake was a 6 billion disaster 25 years ago. Todays dollars is a different story. This is some of the damage youre seeing here. This is the obvious damage that you might see from an earthquake. Take a look at some live shots that we have, live camera up now in a Mobile Home Park that is just about two miles from here in downtown. These pictures are coming out of kttvu, one of our affiliates. This is a Mobile Home Park that yesterday, one of the gas mains burst. A very large fire in this area. One of the residents in that area, 83yearold man, had words to say about it. Listen to what his experience
was. Just like there was some explosion. It was burning and everybody was out in the street and i couldnt get back in the house. Yeah, you can just imagine how terrifying that was. You have the earthquake, then the fire. Four of the mobile homes completely destroyed. And people today having to begin to pick up those pieces. Guys . All right. Rick reichmuth live in napa, thank you very much. Ainsley earhart joins us this morning. Always good to see you. You have some headlines for us. I do. Let me get right to those. A scare in the air. All because of one vip passenger. An American Airlines flight made an Emergency Landing after a twitter threat from the hacker group lizard squad. It tweeted out at american air, we have been receiving reports that jay smedleys plane, 362 from dfw has explosives on
board. Please look into this. Jay smedley is john smedley, the president of sony on line entertainment and just before that tweet was sent out, sonys on line Gaming Network went down. The plane was forced to land in phoenix where all of the bags were searched, the f. B. I. Is now investigating. The Video Music Awards marred by a shooting at chris browns preparty.

Coming up, mixed messages from military leaders on just how much of a threat isis is to americans at home. We have Lieutenant General who says someones got to get to our military leaders and devise a strategy. And the serious glowing waves caught on camera. Whats causing it is pretty amazing.

Can he they be defeated without addressing that part of the organization which resides in syria . The answer is no. That will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border. Okay. Very clearly there, that was the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general Martin Dempsey on thursday speaking on the glow growing threat of isis, on the same day chuck hagel said its beyond anything weve ever seen. Very clear, isis bad. Now a complete 180. General dempsey saying yesterday the United States faces no direct threat from isis and he wouldnt recommend strikes in syria yet. What the heck happened . Fox news military analyst Lieutenant General Thomas Mcinerny joinses from our nations capitol. Good morning to you. Good morning. Yesterday dempsey said no, you know what . Isis is just a regional threat. Somebody on thursday picked up the phone and talked to the general, didnt they . Absolutely. Look, im standing by my comments saturday to Uma Pemmaraju on americas headquarters. Unchecked, isis is annexes essential threat to the United States ask very soon. General dempsey was called by the white house and they told both he and secretary hagel, both of them who i commend greatly for what they said last thursday when they cried out for weve got to get on with it and there is this narrative in the white house that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Gm is alive. Everything is okay. Just like they did, steve, two years ago on benghazi when they knew an attack was coming and they ignored it. Just for the election. That was on september 11, just before the election. All right. You say this september 11, september 11, 2014, well have another strike. I believe that we should go to def con 1 and be prepared for another strike. There are too many indications. Senator jim imhoff, senator who you just was on several days ago, said that he believed an American City was going to be attacked. I believe American Cities will be attacked and that we should be prepared for it. And if we keep on the same modus operandi, this pattern of behavior that this white house always pretends leading up to an election that everything is okay, the American People are in danger. Sure. We need a massive air campaign in iraq and syria. You say that one of the reasons the United States is in danger is because while dempsey may say its a regional threat, isis is over there, because our southern border is wide open, we dont know who is coming in. Look, when we had this immigration crisis, which is still going on with women and children coming across, the Border Control people were saturated. The isis people have already come in. They are in our cities today. They are ready to attack us. 911 is a very attractive date for them. I believe we should be prepared and we are not. Our commander in chief is not on the commander in chief role. Hes out to lunch. All right. General mcinerny joining us with sobering words on this monday morning. While the president is back to work, lets see if they do anything. Thank you very much. Thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. Coming up, final exams in kindergarten .

While the cdc praised floor raid, people in china and iran who consumed excessive fluid have a seven point reduction in
their i. Q. I worked very hard on that study. Elisabeth . I can tell. Thanks. Florida law that goes into effect this year is giving School Districts the option to test their students with some version of a final exam and that could actually include kindergarteners. Should we be testing fiveyearolds . Joining us for a fair and balanced debate, senior fellow at the center for education reform and neil from the cato institute. We thank you both for being here. Five years old, ive got a fiveyearold. Seems a little early for testing, and options sometimes do become quiet mandates. Is there a problem . Great education really is linked to the issues youve been talking about all morning, elisabeth. Its tied to a great economy, tied to a safe and peaceful and exceptional world. And kindergarten is where they use the kills. They need to learn play. Lay is actually a noncognitive thing that will help them for life and whether its florida or indiana or washington or anywhere else, Great Schools need Great Teachers that guide our kindergarteners and kids at every other grade to learn how to be great at the things that we want them to know and be able to do to be productive. And is test not testing in kindergarten a bad idea . Of course it is. They need new skills and anyone saying, which i dont think fellow there is, but anyone saying they need to have some standardized test is simply wrong. Some of the questions they say could be as simple as what color is this circle . And you would have to answer red if the circle are red. Neal, what do you say . I think it would be a problem if this was top down standardized testing where we have to treat every child as if theyre exactly the same, as if people all had the same goals for education. Of course people dont. Do some people want their
children to know their abcs and maybe spell words and do some reading by the end of kindergarten . Possibly. Other people want their kids to become better socialized . Certainly. So what we need is a system where you tonight get these top down mandates where every child has to be treated the same, but where you can choose schools, you can get different models and for some people, that may mean yes, id like to see a test of my childs literacy when they start, when they end kindergarten. But to have any sort of top down, one size fits all standardized testing regime would be a huge mistake. I think the fear, though, is that a child could be tracked as early as kindergarten when theyre still in such a developmental phase of their education. Do you know what the best anecdote to that kind of concern and worry . The reality is grade schools have Great Teachers and have lots of freedom and flexibility to do what they need to do. And yet be held accountable for Firm Outcomes and standards. Every state in this country has standards in place to tell the teacher, the parent, the community what kids should know and be able to do at every level. Thats not rocket science. But the problem becomes, elisabeth, that when we actually mandate from the top down as neal was saying, when we require things at every given level and deprive the teacher of her freedom and his flexibility to do what they were trained to do is when we get a mess. So where are the Great Schools . Where are the great systems . Where parents and teachers have freedom to make choices is where we see the kids ho have come from the least advantaged backgrounds doing well and kids from the most advantaged backgrounds actually go farther than they normally would. We just want kids to be able to learn. Will this help or hinder children, or is this just more about control over the system . I think its a lot more about control and unfortunately, this is a trend weve been seeing for
20, 30 years now, is that we have this mindset where all kids have to be treated the same and they have to move in the exact same rate. Treating them as if theyre essentially all the same thing and are part of one big sort of american machine. But thats simply not what america is based on of the were based on individual freedom, on creativity, on innovation, and all kids are different. So we need a system that instead of pretending we can be puppet masters, where we let individual children get the education thats best for them and thri k and lead the lives that ultimately they want to lead. Thats right. Exactly. Back to school time is a great time for us all to rediscover what it is were supposed to do. Its not just a matter of Parent Involvement and teachers in the classroom. Its actually a matter of knowing what does the law say that created this frenzy over kindergarten testing . Whats the role of the policy maker . Whats the role of us . We as parents which should be more power and more control. Jenny and neal, we thank you for being with us today. I give you an a plus. Thanks.

Critics are calling president obama disconnected from surgeoning from the golf course minutes after addressing the beheading of james foley. Here is one of his Close Friends on fox friends weekend. It hasnt sit very well with me for sure, you know. To me, its personal, but also even beyond that. I think it shows quite a disconnect that the president talks about taking on isis, consoles the foley family and is out playing golf so quickly. At the very least, its very poor management by his handlers. But i think is those a callousness. Michael goodwin joins us now. Woodrow wilson played golf. Eisenhower loved golf. Whats the problem . Look, president s are entitled to a vacation, but there is just the question of how engaged this president is in the job. He seems almost fixated on playing golf. His speech was good. It showed he was emotional. I dont think it was a good speech. But then, there is no action. To get back on the golf course within minutes, i think showed a callousness that goes beyond the routine. I personally believe this president doesnt care anymore. I believe hes sort of fed up with the job, hes frustrated. Hes failing. And i think hes just kind of checked out. So playing golf is his pleasure. He likes the perks of the job, but you look at the problems in the world, you look at the problems in the country, hes simply not acting as a president
who wants to get things done. At the very least, he should tell the photographers, not today. Dont show up. cause he was laughing. You cant do that. Thats the great thing about the American Press is that we do have access. It is accepted that we will have access, but to show the president minutes after the foley beheading to be doing that, i think just shows he doesnt care what people think about him. David plouffe tries to rationalize yesterday. Listen. This is a political tradition. When youre the president of the United States, urinary really on vacation. Youre on 24 7. I think this whole discussion of optics is something that fascinating washington, but not the American People. That was even a weak spin. Yeah. I think that the optics tell us something about him. Anybody who could do that, its not just how it looks, its how it must be inside him to make that decision. You wrote he looks hollow. He does. I think hes a hollow man. I think he has no compassion for the foley family in this case. But i think he also is not committed to the job. I mean, we are in a terrible situation around the world. The president essentially checked out. Hes trying to do the minimum. You heard his defense secretary and the chairman of the joint chiefs talking about how serious it is. Thats not what the president wants to hear. The president wants to hear Osama Bin Laden is dead, gm is alive. Were doing great. Lets get back to domestic issues. Lets keep the senate in democratic hands. I think well see him campaigning. But he doesnt talk to members of congress. Doesnt talk to his own cabinet. Hes checked out from the real work of the president. Were going to check you out again on radio in about 12 minutes. Thanks so much. My pleasure. Were going to come back with a special ice challenge next. I challenge steve doocy from fox news. And steve is gearing up to
accept that challenge from the gambler. Thats ice. And thats elisabeths hands. 00 acres, its good to have the right help. With models up to 62 horsepower or 1,400pound payload. Go tough. Go strong.

Over 41. 8 million in the past month has been raised. 739,000 new donations this year alone for als. The ice bucket challenge worked. How are we going to get dolly to do it, kenny . I challenged her and i dont think shes done it yet. I wont let her off the hook. I know shes never been in a wet tshirt contest before, because that would have stood out. Is that what i look like . A little bit. And by the way, my challenge, anybody watching, investigate als and take a look and see if you would like to donate money. Pick three people. He has to pick three people and
