that's it for "special report." make it a great weekend. greta goes "on the record" right now. government contractors pretending to work and you are paying their salary. >> the whistle blower blowing the lid off obamacare right here "on the record." >> somebody has figured out how to a lot of money off of this deal to do nothing. >> a billion dollars. your money gone. poof. >> they would tell us to come in dressed professionally and to sit at our desk and act like we were working. >> and then: >> this is shameful under any circumstances a night mayor at the v.a. but will anyone land in prison. >> if these accusations are true, someone should be going to jail.
>> marine jailed in mexico. his desperate 911 call. >> i'm at the border of mexico right now. i crossed the border by accident and i have three guns in my truck. >> his mother goes "on the record." first though a whistle blower goes "on the record." she says $1.2 billion of your tax money was pay to obamacare workers who were told to pretend to work. she was one of those workers paid to do nothing. paula joins us for her first national tv interview. paulla, nice to see you. >> hi. >> paulla, tell me, where did you work? how long did you work there and what did you do? >> i worked for a company contracted by circo to helpful fill the they have have with centers for medicare and medicaid services. i worked there from early
october to just before thanksgiving in 2013. >> okay. in that time period, what did you see? i understand the contract was to process paper applications under obamacare. did you see that work being done? >> >> it was done in such a small scale. in the from months i was there i processed at best a dozen applications. most of the time we were sitting around doing nothing. >> that was the gist of it. >> did anybody say anything like why don't we have any work or why isn't anything being done? >> yes, i did. others did. early on we got a lot of excuses about the health care.gov site not working properly. once that was working properly, the case was still the same. as it is today as well as you are hearing from other employees that still work there. >> were they getting any
specific instructions employees about the work or why they didn't seem to have a high volume of work? they mostly alcoholicked it it -- chokd it up to system problems chocked it up to system problems. i have been a supporter of obamacare all along. my experience there was so disappointing and i exal contacted claire miscass kill's office because i wanted them to know what was going on out there and how i felt about that. >> what was the response from senator claire mccaskill's office. first of all what did you tell them and second of all what was the senator's response? >> i told them exactly what i had been saying all along, what i told channel 4 locally in st. louis and what i'm telling you now that we were sitting around every day doing nothing and
applications were not getting processed and questions were not getting answered about that. >> they forwarded me to subcommittee on oversight of committee budgets in washington where i spoke to someone about the situation there. >> we tried to get some information. cms said they were committed to working wither serco. they closely monitored the work that serco was doing. it doesn't say the quantity of work or ever on site to monitor. did you ever have any sense that cmf was on site monitoring what was being done or not done? >> well, in the short time i was there, they came once to my knowledge. but they never visited the site of the building that i worked on. >> i don't know how they can say they monitored the work
coming out of that building and supporting the knowing what i know and people that still work there. i want to say everybody who works in that building knows what what i'm saying is the truth. the people who came forward whether they chose to identify themselves or not are telling the truth as well. >> why did you leave? >> i imagine. >> why did you leave? >> why did i leave? because i was bored out of my mind. it was driving me crazy and i have a conscience. that's not what i signed up for. that's not what i wanted to work there for. i was excited to be a part of something that i supported and i couldn't have been more disappointed. >> why do you think this happened? why do you think that there is no work being done? >> well, as i said before, i think somebody figured out how to make a lot of money off of this thing, some way, somehow. i know there is a lot of crookery and corruption and self-gain these days, for all i know maybe our own
politicians are benefiting from that. i don't know. >> paulla, thank you for joining us. >> all right. thank you. >> and you won't believe this one. but there is new information tonight about the former top watchdog for the homeland security department. we recently told you about a blistering congressional report showing former dhs acting director altered and delayed investigations in order to help his pals. senior administration officials. now there is more disturbing question. is the whole watchdog system broken? "the washington examiner" susan crabtree joins us. >> thanks for having me. >> you wrote an article. explain what a watchdog is in the government. how does it work in the government? >> each agency, there are 73 different watchdogs that are attached to an agency. the will be in is that they have the same budget as the same agency, so they are not really independent. you would think that there is an act, 1978, that created these watchdogs after the watergate scandal. and they are supposed to act as the rooting out
corruption at the agency and be independent. they are getting their salary from the same higher ups that are from the whole budget. >> is it broken this watchdog system? >> well, the ethics experts and attorneys who have experience in these cases say definitely. they point to this case with charles edwards who had multiple allegations against him. and he actually was stepped aside just recently after the secretary jay johnson called on him to step aside. >> he was under investigation himself and hee j? >> that's exactly right. it seems what we have found is that the allegations against him langished at this group, the council for inspectors general for integrity and efficiency. that's the wash dog of the watchdog. we found it is actually pretty broken. we have sources telling us that the system doesn't work that these complaints against him languished for
years and years. especially. >> can think of anything more sick. >> watchdog in every single agency that at least in one agency we know that at least the one instance very helping his pals. that watchdog. then you have got for whatever reason, we now need to have watchdogs. we have a watchdog organization looking over the watchdog. the watchdog organization this watchdog looked other way because they didn't want -- i don't know why, they didn't do their job. why even have these watchdogs? >> that's why when you are the president and jay carney say the inspector general for the v.a. is going to get to the bottom of this i start to cringe a little bit. the system really is broken. the watchdog of the watchdog only meets, what i have been told, four times a year and lacks the tools and efforts really to look into this and do something about it. >> is sigy, are these full-time jobs? >> these are actually -- no,
different inspector generals from different agencies make up the cigi. they sit on the council. >> jury on the their own trials? >> their pier's trials. >> overseers see if they are doing the job is themselves. >> you can say that definitely they are piers. they have have the' transportation inspector general is looking into charles edwards' problems. it took a subcommittee investigation. it took the release of the report just last month to get him on administrative leave. for a while there, he was still acting and he had all these allegations piling up against him. >> and he is he is the watchdog. susan, thank you. and today a resignation in the wake of the veterans affairs health care scandal, the v.a. for secretary for health. one day after he and v.a. secretary eric shinseki were grilled by lawmakers. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. jennifer, why did he step
down? who is he and why did he step down? >> well, greta. a senior v.a. official says secretary shinseki demanded robert petzel's resignation. he was slated to retire thisser i don't. his retirement announced last september. his replacement is from the same pines v.a. medical center in illinois that came under fire this week for having secret wait lists for veterans. last september, we reported "on the record" petzel told it a congressional hearing he quote had no regrets when he learned veterans died of legionnaires diseases where he recommended bonuses for the hospital's drars. the two more administrators came forward. chief psychiatrist at the v.a. medical center in st. louis, he was removed from his job when he complained that psychiatrists treating veterans with ptsd were working only a few hours a
day, seeing half the patients they could. as patient suicides rose. >> they all got bonuses, you know. so that is the sad part. because, you know in reality not doing a good job but in relation it looks like we are. >> he was fired when he complained that his bosses were delaying life saving clone colon ososcopies to cut costs. >> i i was treated like a leper, how dare you attack me or say what you are saying. >> congressman jeff miller who is responsible for v.a. oversight said robert petzel's resignation is the pinnacle of political double speak since he only had a few more months on the job.
greta? radio accountability or show or something in between? joining us the political panel. john, is this resignation some form of accountability or, what? >> i think jennifer just laid out the case this is completely just for show. i think he had to go or go a little early after his performance this week before congress. you know, he was asked a simple question: would someone be fired if it were proven that they had manipulated these waiting lists and created a secret waiving list? >> apparently not if you are the watchdog at dhs. >> he couldn't answer that. he said i don't know if that would be the appropriate punishment or not. these people should be in jail. democratic senators on the panel saying why didn't you make any sentence republicans calling for it of the i.d. only has limited resource was. get in the other law enforcement agencies and
this is a nationwide problem. in this isn't isolated i understand as shinawatra then secy said the other day. you need as much help as they company get. >> neither gave impressive performance. >> sen seq.y. >> sen seq.y is not going anywhere for a while. >> why this. >> this move was part of. i was there at the hearing and went around and talked to people about what his fate is on capitol hill. people said they are billing to give him a chance. the problem is he has been there for some time and this has been happening end his. the buck has to stop some place. >> i am a ventricle. choose -- he was very popular. >> let him go back to active duty. >> he inherited a huge mess. awful i'm saying he has big
problems supporters up there. people really are looking for him to start showing some action here. they don't thism he has accepted stepped up to the plate yet. we will give shinseki to do their time. >> i heard kathleen sebelius rit away when things blew up. this is blowing up why is he asking for his head? >> he has the military brass as well. this week i spoke with the current army chief ray odierno. he stood up for him and strongly defended him and said there are problems at the v.a. >> that's like the watchdog's watchdog standing up for the watchdog. he has a very distinguished military career. but you know the fact that the military is standing up for him. i mean, just look at this. this is his job. >> what strikes me about this is something john said, the bipartisan nature of these attacks. these aren't just republicans. he they are not just red state democrats worried about re-election.
this is balloon that. >> even more question why is he still there? >> it wases white house worried. it comes on the heels of the irs scandal and obamacare rollout it speaks to wows official. they don't. the resignation is north going to do the trick. >> i know republicans and democrats both are deeply disturbed by this but the fact that people are not calling for his head when he sad all these years and people have died under. this not just that they have had to sit at their computer trying to log on for three months. people died. >> >> think were citing memos back to 2010. shuffling people around. >> if he knew about it if he did why didn't he do anything about it. >> 2013 a letter was sent to
president obama yesterday the chief of staff was asked why didn't you respond to this? why did you ignore it? >> they went easier on shinseki yesterday than i saw at any of the hearings where kathleen sebelius was defending the health carrollout. like you say you are talking about people who died. >> panel, stay with us. >> let's all go off-the-record for a minute. washington, d.c. is the city of no consequences. i have never seen anything like it. theist targets the tea party spends $100 million on furniture, hands out millions to irs employees who owe back taxes. no consequences. hhs 1.2 billion-dollar contract to it a company serco. whistle blower says they aren't actually doing any work but no consequences. capitol hill, lots and lots of committees. they are supposed to monitor all these agencies to make sure bad things don't happen. that's almost laughable. lots of hearings, no consequences.
or in the case of the v.a., lives are lost. anyone responsible? anyone know anything? v.a. chief eric shinseki after it is exposed says is he mad as hell and president obama is angry. so what if he is mad as hell or angry. that doesn't do any of you was god. each agency has a watchdog. even the watchdogs are suspect. they seem to looked other way. former edwards was under investigation for doing dastardly thing. no one owes anyone anything. no one takes responsibility,ens can sequences, admit it insane asylum. barbara walters and letterman talking barbara lieu ebb ski. call for help before he

lewenski's new book is me and my big mouth. >> that was then and this is what letterman and walters are saying about lewenski now. >> i like monica. i felt that she has never had the chance to move on. >> >> when she came back and there was ininterview or article about her. says she can't get a job. i started to feel bad because myself and other people with shows like this made relentless jokes about the poor woman. she was 21. >> she is 40 now. >> i was thinking oh lord the violence in the elevator. is it funny because they're just famous or overall with some perspective do you realize this is a sad human situation back with our political panel. >> these are are celebrities getting soft in their old age. date letterman has h. has said bad things about an
awful lot of people. >> like the time that sarah palin took her 14-year-old daughter to the yankees game and he said one awkward moment for sarah palin at the yankees game her daughter was knocked up by alex rodriguez and her daughter was 14. he actually was mistaken. he thought he was talking about the older one apparently. he hasn't apologized for that one. >> no, and i don't think he will. >> lewenski is unique here in that unlike august the other characters in the situation that happened with her and president clinton. they have all been able to move on, including the woman who leaked the taped phone calls. all these people have been able to lead their lives. she has been frozen in time. she was victimized by the whole thing. she was very young, just in her early 20's and her life just basically stopped point was a good one. >> it's a little bit late. >> career. >> the clintons are all doing great.
everyone else is doing fine. >> she was chasing a story. she wanted a scoop. >> now she is pretending -- >> -- barbara walters didn't mock her. >> she didn't make cruel jokes not funny, like they are insulting some young girl to make them feel better about themselves who has been in this situation. obviously she was of legal age. when you step back and think about that anywhere in society a 50-some-year-old man preying on a college student practically. >> which monica doesn't say. she says they were two consenting adults. she's has handled it all rather gracefully in this last interview. she has not blaming anybody. it's true though that everyone else got something out of the deal except her. she stopped in time she was offered a good deal of money. >> she wrote a book. she certainly made the
rounds for herself. >> what about letterman? i like suddenly, all of a sudden now he suddenly sees that maybe he was nasty. >> you have seen some of that. craig had a great monologue in recent years. even celebrities, even brittany spears is a human being and sometimes we should -- really a human moment very human moment where he said i was an alcoholic and drunk and going through these problems maybe we should think about this and be funny and not just mean to people. >> i would like to see him apologize to the sarah palin jokes. >> that was horrible to willow. she was 14. making cracks about the older daughter not being married at the time he was not married to the mother of his child. things going on on the side we learned later. is he is no angel. >> panel, stay with us. a u.s. marine jailed in mexico. you will hear the call and hear from the marine's

new information, direct ties between al qaeda and boko haram the terrorist group holding almost 300 school girls hostage. "the weekly standard" reveal the documents usama bin laden's house senior al qaeda leaders were in direct
contact with boko haram during the same time secretary of state hillary clinton. they refused onto put boko haram on the official list of foreign terrorist groups and our political panel is back. jason reilly, the washington examiner susan ferrechio. john, this was your publication that wrote. this why wasn't this group put on the terrorist list? >> no one really knows. tom wreath the story for us. he has great sources. other reported. other national security reporters places like the "the washington post" reported that bin laden's own files contradicted boko haram to senior al qaeda people the question is why didn't they put them on the terrorist list. they were pressured to do so by the doj, the fbi and many others and josh rogan reporting at the daily beast has indicated is that they didn't want to offend the local government. for some reason the local government didn't want them on thattist. will i'm not sure about the
internal dynamics of politics but that is the with excuse for why they didn't do it. >> they wanted to keep the influence of this group kind of a lower level. declaring them a terrorist organization that it would somehow elevate them and make it harder for the nigerian government to get rid of the problem. but, of course, it clearly didn't do any good. >> what the state department also isn't saying is that not putting them on that lists will set a narrative that the owe become that administration was put up to the election. al qaeda is on the run are the terrorists are on the run. when you are adding to it a terrorist list though, it doesn't help that narrative. the white house had an inventive there to play down this group, to play down the impact of this group i don't think the administration will push back very hard. >> going to be harder if hillary clinton disadz to
become a presidential candidate to distance herself from these problems that seem to be cropping up from her tenure at the state department. from what i hear this may have been a decision made just underneath her whether to declare this a terrorist organization. >> it says here in the article the owe boom that administration was sitting on files that showed that al qaeda's senior leadership had been in direct contact with the group. sharing it with the state department? >> we don't know. >> she could have some kind of excuse for her rationale here. it was her state department, the fact that they weren't declared a terrorist organization was under her watch. >> explain that. >> she will have to explain it as this stuff comes trickling out, it really just points the niddle right at her all part of one gig terrorist, jihadist think that's happening in africa. she clearly understood there's what a big problem there.
>> free bank accounts and things like that that can be used now. and actually hillary clinton she did label a few people in the organization like the head of it as a terrorist and we could take certain actions against them. use certain tools under the patriot act for espionage against these people. again, it was group 2013 on the terrorist list. we have been able to use these tools since then didn't stop the kidnapping of all these girls unfortunately. >> panel, thank you. >> here is what is being hard out right now. senior executive editor trending right now. there is more news about jill abramson. backs out of one commencement. another one backs out.

rnc taking on actress eva loan gore i can't. latino victory project claiming it does not support
latino candace. only democratic ones. rnc priebus joins us. good to see you. >> good to see you too. >> blasted the actress. totally bogus organization. here's the thing. they started out and say we want the political landscape to match the identities and reflect the realities of the american people. great. they say they are nonpartisan organization. okay. then you start looking at who is in charge of this organization. well, okay. eve longoria was the co-chair of barack obama's campaign in 2012. the other co-chair, a finance chair of the dnc. okay. put that away in the back of your mind. doing interviews on tv with the dnc logo behind his head sometimes i do interviews behind head rnc logo this move forward and say we are going to endorse five candidates all democrats. turns out one of their endorse. s is charlie crist who is running against the first
latino lieutenant governor as a ticket, you know, in florida, that florida has ever had with a hispanic as the lt. governor in florida. >> so they are partisan. not really name partisan. >> would you be content or happy if they didn't call themselves nonpartisan? >> yeah, here is what we are doing. at the republican national committee and i think republicans out there in general, just kind of sick and tired of our party sitting around and doing nothing about the fact when people are purposefully and very openly lying about what they are doing. putting front groups out in front of entire country. claiming that they are for everybody. when, in fact, it's just a democrat front group. look. do you think they mentioned in their releaseds and in their documents the fact that the only two hispanic governors in hurricane happen to be republicans and martinez in mexico and brian sandovol in nevada? did they mention the two
most popular hispanic politicians in our country right now which is ted cruz and marco rubio? no. >> why is it this is a part san group. eva longoria long time democrat. assume she is a democrat and not going to promote. >> why is it that the democratic party seems to have the lock on the latino vote? >> look, that goes back to what we have said as the republican party. we have tone gauge in a long-term year around operation to engage in hispanic, african-american, and asian communities across the can country. >> are you doing that? >> we are. >> what are you doing? >> so we are putting out a field organization in every single community across the country. on a four year basis across the country for all four years. and part of the problem is the republican party has become a party nationally that shows up about oncer four years, five months before an election. this is the entire basis of our growth and opportunity project, that we put together last year.
in fact, today i was in philadelphia announcing hispanic advisory counsel still in philadelphia and something we haven't done enough of. but what i'm tired of and i think a lot of people are tired of are these sort of bogus organizations that pop up and they claim they are nonpartisan. they file as a c 4. under the irs code and then they go and do interviews in the studio of the dnc. >> always nice to he see you sir. >> thank you, greta. >> star studded salute to barbara walters as the legend retires. walters is officially retiring. leaving herr co-hosting job on "the view." today it a parade of. >> please welcome diane sawyer, robin roberts. spencer, elizabeth vargas. debra roberts. >> this is my legacy. these are my legacy and i
thank you all. >> and they end of the show barbara saying goodbye. well, sort of. >> so now having had this amazing career, how can i just walk away and say goodbye? this way. from the bottom of my heart to all of you with whom i have worked and to all of you who have watched and been at my side for so many years, i can say thank you, thank you. but who knows what the future brings. maybe instead of goodbye i should say i will be in tow, which in french means see you later. so i will be in tow. >> by the way i don't think barbara is really going away. i think she just wanted to have a party. she will be "the view's" executive producer. in 2009 we paid a visit to barbara in her dressing room at "the view."
>> it gives you a feeling about yourself. >> that gives you a feeling about your career. i never thought i would be in front of a camera. when i think of the people that i have met because i have interviewed every president, i was going to say every president since abraham lincoln since that's not true, since richard nixon and every world leader and so on. what a blessed life i have had and never expected it to happen. it was in great part by chance. >> and, of course, we wish barbara a very happy retirement even if it's only a few minutes. the cat that's become a national hero but saving a child from the dog is only act one. wait until you see what the cat is doing now. that's next. life less complicated. it's about people.

we toss it over to "morning joe." of course, president obama's big speech on isis this evening. this morning, though, former president dick cheney will speak on the current and future state of u.s. foreign policy, and then this . >> well, we certainly know it has been on the table. we have been very opened and two weeks ago i acknowledged we didn't get this right. that's my responsibility. i'm accountable for that. >> oh boy. >> okay. >> that was a painful, painful interview. >> it's really disturbing when they realized there was all that tape out there. >> the thing is they knew the
paper is out there with. i talk to some security guys. i said, what happens, in a case like this, what happens? you have an incident, what do they do? they don't say, hey, just show me, get me the videotape that happened right after. they go, you know what they always ask for, all the video, give me all the video you got. what video do you have? give it to me. they get it. just show ble the part that doesn't show the crime, itself. because what we want to see is what happened five minutes after the crime. does anybody at this table, right, does any grown-up in america when they step on to an elevator not know they're being filmed? can i just say? >> especially at a casino. >> especially at a casino. does anybody, does it ever go through your mind, can i do whatever i want in this elevator, because there are no
cameras on from, guess who knows that, also, because he's an adult, roger goodell. guess who else knows that, every security man and woman in the nfl that worked in law enforcement. >> that worked in the secret service, they all knew. >> he asked for it. he says they would not make it available to him. he asked for it. >> that's just not true t. commissioner said that. >> it was not made available to them. and i don't know how tmz got it. but i think you can back you and look at the initial video that was released. i think the problem here, i know you will get into another angle, but it's related, is that the official video is pretty good. >> the initial video is very bad in and of itself. i'm just saying. the nfl. he just needed to say. we royally, royally screwed up. >> yeah. >> you know what, this is such a tragedy and it is a tragedy for so many people. i understand this is tragic from the beginning foray rice's wife
janay. ray rice's battered wife spoke out yesterday. she actually blamed the media and she blamed an outraged public for quote taking something away from a man who she says worked his ass off his entire life. she continued and said, if your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take kau all our happiness away, you have succeeded. no, mrs. rice the fault of these stars lie somewhere else, they actually lie with ray rice. it's not the media's fall. it's not the outraged public's fault. its not your fault that you and the ravens have already apologized for your actions on the night where you were savagely assaulted and dragged out of the elevator like a rag doll.
. mrs. rice, the fault lies solely with the man who punched a defenseless woman so hard in the face that he could have killed her and the fact that some have blamed this crime for something someone else, i mean, and the fact that you are still doing it. is deeply troubling. i think we all understand how painful this has to be for the family. for the entire family, but this isn't just about one woman or one punch. this is about women around this country who are victims of domestic violence and just as troubling as you blaming everybody else but your husband, as an nfl commissioner claims all he did to investigate the attack from inside the elevator. that claim is not credible. it can't possibly be true and that ridiculous defense why roger goodell looked so nervous yesterday because mr. goodell,
mr. rice the new jersey da who let rice walk and the entire nfl have something to be nervous about because this is a crime. yes, it's a crime. it's not going to neatly be swept away like tv series on espn that you just don't like. >> i think the media can often overplay things and make things worse or go with a cellatious video for the very reason that it's cellatious in this case, in this case, unfortunately, i am very sorry for the rises, everyone seems to see in many other ways they're good people. this, though, is a national epidemic. unfortunately, the fact that we need a second piece of video to prove that domestic violence happened here is sort of sad and the story important because the leadership, every step of the way, let women down. >> let women down and, willie, this is a league that has had a
problem, mass ogeney for a long time remember what michael irvin said when he got busted with strippers and coke, he said, hey, i'm an nfl star. they have a long running problem and all organizations have their own set of problems, but there is something that needs to be confronted and faced down. >> the nfl showed how it feels about domestic violence with that initial suspension. that said everything you need to know. he got two games for what everyone could see a was a horrible crime. >> even before you saw what happened. >> outside the elevator. you get four games for spoking a little weed, four games for taking a fertility drug because your wife can't get pregnant. two games. >> that set the standard. when there was an outcry about that. roger goodell said you will have six games. only because of the initial outcry. that's how you know how the nfl
feels. i hope to god this latest tape changes that. >> we were discussing before one of the most outrageous days in terms of domestic vika wlens in terms of spikes is on super bowl sunday. >> the most reported. you are right, the most reported incidents of domestic violence. >> happened on super bowl sunday. you combine it with the fact, to willie's point, how the number of women who watch nfl games and buy nfl paraphernalia and merchandising and how outraged these groups are, the commissioner, he doesn't understand the gravity and magnitude of this moment. not only will it hurt him personally, owners will understand the impact that could have on their bottom line if mothers and aunts all stop watching. >> if you to your point, joe, if they instead of blaming the media and being so defensive is get on this issue as a family the rice family, just start
talking about it. talk speaking about it. they have to face it. >> become carolinas of the abuse. >> that's the only option. >> and understand the gravity of what happened. >> and they could help a lot of people if they could stop being so defensive. roger goodell said the league has been completely transparent about what it knew and when. >> yesterday morning, i got into the office and our staff had come to me and said there is new evidence, there is a video that you need to see and i watched it then. >> did you know that a second tape existed. >> well, we had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. we assumed there was a video. we asked for video, but we were never granted that opportunity. >> so did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday? >> no. >> no one in the nfl?
>> no one in the nfl to my knowledge. i have been asking that same question t. answer to that is no. >> what do you think, do you buy it, willie? >> i give nfl more security than that. as i said, we were high ranking enforcement guys are telling me they couldn't get a casino to cough up the tape? >> i'm sorry. >> it's a joke. >> maybe the commissioner didn't see it. maybe they didn't want him to see it. it gives him deniability. maybe he hasn't seen it with his own eyes. you are telling me, these guy, former secret service agents couldn't get the casino to hand over the tape? >> he was once afforded something that will not be aforwarded him. >> you are looking at the video that they have access to, where she is being dragged out like a rag doll. so what did they lie about what happened inside the elevator and the story was bought? >> no, no. >> because there is nothing good
about that piece of video. so if they asked ray rice, did he say beng anything but i smacked my wife hard? >> the story was they were byun punching each other. that was his story to his teammates. >> the thing is, i know it wasn't okay. nothing was okay. he should have been suspended. he should have been suspended for the year. he should have been gone. but they had there video. they could have gotten this video like willie said. >> it's all bad t. baltimore ravens other than wrote a lengthy letter to stake holders for apologizing to fail to po pursue the video more vigorously, he says once they punished him, they stopped pursuing. we did not do all we should have done and no amount of explanation can remedy that. >> that's what you should say. that's what roger goodell should say. >> exactly.
he went on to say, seeing the full video changed everything. now the head of the new jersey state senate is probing the prosecutor's handling of the criminal case. >> that, too, is a big problem like i said at the top. they got to explain why a woman was punched in the face by a huge, powerful man and that's not a battery? all right. let's move on. we will be talking about this more obviously throughout the three hours. but the president obviously delivering a big important speech tonight and i got to tell you, i keep seeing these folding coming in, i am struck by where america is, this is a war wary country. but they want to go after these beasts and i have got to tell you, i said it at the time, what the hell was isis thinking when they had the gruesome executions that they had? seriously, you know, we were
down at an event like last night, tuesday's children, it's a wonderful, wonderful group. >> children born on or after 9/11 from victims. >> with their parents. as we were driving away, i looked up at the freedom tower, everybody that did that either got a bullet in their eye or got blown to bits or are roting away in jail and are executed. it always happens for people that attack us. why do they think they will get away with it? they always get killed? we always track them down. they always die. when you screw with the united states of america that way you die. isis has done this with these two beheadings that have galvanized the american public in a way nothing else could have ever done it. why were they such idiots? >> well, in just a matter of hours, president obama will unveil his plans to confront islamic state militants in iraq and syria. he will address the nation at 9:00 p.m. eastern time.
top administration officials say he's prepared to authorize airstrikes against isis and syria. president obama has told congressional leaders he does not need law maker's approval to talk strikes on militants. however, he's expected to ask congress to authorize the training and arming of more moderate members of the certain rebellion. >> all right. let's bring in a white house correspondent for the journal. carole lee. good to see you. what do we expect to hear from the president? we have been pointing out the poll numbers that show 70 or 75% of the american pub slick ready to go after isis. 90% believe isis is a twlet. does that give the brought the check to go forward with what he wants to do? >> it certainly does. one of the most interesting things tonight is the country will face a hawkish than you seen the "wall street journal" poll showed a significant increase in the number of people
who support the u.s. attacking isis and even some 34% who support a combination of airstrikes and ground troops, which is something the brought has said he will not do but the bottom line is that the president will talk to a country that is going to be much more receptive to him taking the kind of action we expect him to outline which is a stepped up campaign in iraq and that's going to significantly expand the administration. he is prepared now to authorize strikes going into syria and otherwise expand what we have seen and in the last month in taking on isis. you know, the other challenge for the president here is that he faces a real pressure, there is a real pressure on him because the public is so in tuned into this for him to really clarify his strategy. you guys have been talking about this for weeks that he's sent a lot of mixed signals about what exactly the u.s. strategy is on
isis. this is a moment where he will command the attention of the nation that's clearly paying attention. you showed in our poll that showed 94% of the americans were aware of the beheadings of these two american citizens. that's been the real game clanging event for him. so the stakes are pretty high for him to get if line with the public which seems to be ahead of him in terms of his willingness to accept military action overseas. >> well, let's look at this backdrop a little bit, joe, can you come in, 47% of americans say we're less safe tan before the attacks of 9-11, the highest number since 2002, when it comes to the terror group isis, more than 60% say it's in our country's interest. we had the washington post poll that said 70%. 40% support only airstrikes to curb the isis threat. but as carole said, 34% also support some combination that includes boots on the ground in
iraq. >> is that not unbelievable? i mean, these numbers are high. the president right now, of course, suffering low numbers, the "wall street journal" has the president's approval at 40. disapproval at 54. foreign policy 32% approve. 62 disapprove. those are defb stateing footballs that i suspect are going to turn around as the president delivers his speech tonight. goes on the offensive and starts, i think those numbers are low because you have an american public that wants to see action. i don't remember these numbers. >> i don't either. >> not only in iraq, i don't remember these numbers if afghanistan. >> i'm for support for military action. i remember the outrage across the board. in my 44 years of life have i ever seen a president who has not been entirely clear about his goals and his strategic thinking about foreign policy enjoying this kind of when they call it enjoy may not call it
enjoy they have this kind of support for military action to be taken. this is historic and unprecedented in many ways. it will be interesting to see the president tonight in his heart hoff hearts is not reluctant as a warrior we would want our president to be. he has a public that's ready to act and seek retribution for what happened to those two american journalists. >> mica, we always say the pundits always say the politicians always say the think tankers say the president needs to educate the public on the danger of isis. the public is ahead of him. >> the pub slick far away from this president. way ahead of this brought. that's why the numbers have sunk the way they have sunk. he will catch up with the american people. these numbers upsidedown will change, if we go to war in a way with ache i airstrikes, i don't think boots on the ground will do it. if we go to war against the islamic state and in a way that
that is smart that, is focused that, is limited, it will be supported by the american people. >> well, in that way. >> but it's got to be focused. >> we can talk about this more as we break out our conversations coming up. in some ways, he has played it just right looking at the numbers. >> if you look at his numbers, i find i'm upsidedown 30 percentage points in the polls, i am not right. >> in terms of support, he has played it right. >> let me just say, if you were sitting at the table playing poker bluffing, he's the best bluffer ever. >> i think being methodical and discerning about the choices you make and letting people also come along with you to make them is a lot better than dragging a nation into war under bad pre-conditions. >> i have been supportive of a lot that the president has done. he did not plan this. i mean, but that said, he is in a much better, what was that look about?
what was that look about? >> i didn't say he planned it. i think being methodical, though, is a way of actually pumping everybody along. >> there is methodical and there is ploting. the president cannot be plotting. tonight he has to be aggressive. he needs to look forward and tell americans how we will destroy this threat. >> we will look forward to hearing that. still ahead, gubernatorial candidate wendy davis will be joining us on set in our next hour. >> we will talk about the ray rice story and his team to watch the season, teams to watch this nfl season. plus, sir richard branson will join us in our 8:00 hour. up next, will you be buying an apple watch, joe? >> no. no. >> no apple watch? we will break down owe glow just an iphone that works. >> that's what i'm hoping for. plus a big announcement, rob ford gets an announcement that may tip toronto's election in his favor. >> yes. a scary scene forth of las
vegas how dangerous flash floods can be. you are watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. .
last night in lower manhattan you and i spoke at the event to raise funds for tuesday's children, which are children born on or after 9-11 victims and their families. >> a lot were counterfits gerald. >> they do such great work. these kids are so inspired. as we talked last night, taking the story that they're the face of and owning it and making something incredible out of it. terry sear's right there to the left. an old friend of mine has been wanting us to come down there
what a voice that girl has, amaze zblk they are helping the families up in new town. it's a great organization. i heard you talking about something you saw in the news that it's stunning. now the president of the united states we heard went back to washington, labor day weekend. i said, that's really great. he's not golfing anymore, right? but it's come out. there is a reason he wasn't golfing. >> it's a report from wnbc. the investigative reporter who reports, i'm reading, i want to get the clubs right that trump national golf club, wing foot and willow ridge all here in the west clefter area turned the president down. he wanted a tee time. they only gave him a day's notice, wanted to play, brought in secret service and cleared the place out. these three clubs according to jonathan deans refused the president. it's labor day weekend, our neighbors play x amount of dollars. i'm not going to shut it down. he went back to d.c. just for the night and came back to new york for a wedding the next day. >> so the president is like the rest of us. sometimes it's hard to get on
the golf course. >> exactly. welcome to my world. >> all right. let's take a look at the morning papers. from our parade of papers, the san francisco chronicle apple unveiled new products tuesday at it's vents in california. the tech giants debuted the apple watch. there it is. which many consider the company's first truly innovative product. why is it innovative? the product ceo tim cook. >> sense ceo tim cook took the reigns after passing after the passing of steve jobs the iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus have bigger screens and a better processor and a physical payment that eliminates credit cards. >> it's an amazing event to film around this stuff. >> why is the watch innovative? >> i don't know. i don't want to read e-mails. >> do i look leak dick tracy?
>> you'd like. i can see you doing that. >> call somebody. >> the dallas morning news, lawyers for governor rick perry opening their history books to defend the republican, citing the roman empire and its 17th century french king, the documents say perry did not overstep his constitutional authority during distinctions between thing as of the governor and those of august us and king louis xiiii. i love this guy. >> not as much as i love the mayor of taiwan. >> toronto's embattled mayor rob ford with support from former boxing champ mike tyson following a city hall meeting on tuesday. no. >> he has a troubled path because he has 24 hour under surveillance, so the press. >> so it's our fault? >> it's just that he's living his life as a human being him we have no idea what you do behind
closed doors or your habits are or anybody else's habits are. >> he's a human being, do you prefer him to be a clean cut guy behind the door you never know what he's doing. that's what human beings have a problem with being real with themselves. >> wow, there are so mr. things, tyson is currently in canada. >> this is a "south park" episode. >> to perform a one-man show. it's an interesting show, mike tyson the undisputed truth joined their 40 minute clat chat. he said he thought ford was the best mayor in first history. our quote cut from the same cloth. >> okay. >> he's reviewed all the mayors in toronto's history, done the work. >> of course, he has. >> and then dropped it. >> oh my lord. >> the las vegas review journal a california couple lucky to be
alive after flood waters in nevada swept their van down into a ravine. terrifying video shows the moment the van is carried away by water, oh, as a construction worker tries to rescue them,ual into the ravine, flood waters if i would the van. the couple somehow escapes the car before it's fully engulfed by the rising water t. construction worker somehow is okay. all three of them walk away from it. >> can you believe that? >> wow. >> there is no reason they should be okay when you look at that video. it's amazing, what a miracle. god. >> i need to get on the site. how about getting me a raise, okay? it's been a while. >> all right. >> something for me, too. >> no, willie is here, too, you want to talk to him? >> still ahead, a battle of wit
between two pressing iss. >> e.j. told me to put my hand to your mouth. it's a gentle kiss. >> that's what gets me through the morning. first, mica's must read opinion passenger. we'll be right back. >> i love it. .'wóóñt
cool chopper shot, new york city. the must read story john meacham. it's lovely this time of year. >> it is, i'm going to nashville. >> we are headed there. >> i can't wait. >> all right. let get through a couple good must reads with marcus, echoing what you said. janay rice is the most puzzleing and tragic figure in this sordid episode. it is difficult for someone not in domestic vika will ens to stand by her abuser. i feel for janay rice, she should look at hashtag why i stayed on twitter and realize she is the victim, not the dangerous man she married. now our friend from the moderate
middle east must act, radical islam is an existential threat to those of us who believe in the true nature of issam as a religion of peace. we must do more to promote the voices of compassion and respect over the shouts of hatred and fan attism in this spirit. it is a set of values and way after life we will fight to protect. >> we always ask where are the moderate muslim voices? that's what you heard after 9/11. you said, herald, for many years, it has been a strong voice and demanding that moderate muslims stand up to islamic extremism and is offered harsh, blunt assessments, even people like me saying that the american government has to do more to encourage moderate islamic states and needs continuing.
i think the world is coming to him. >> a different and i would arc you superior, i'm not muslim, i will stand down, a different version of islam has to emerge in the global public eye and what you outlined one would hope would be the foundation for that vision that will emerge. >> we will get meacham. he wrotes it's a wretched moment a. president who for several years seemed allergic to the iraqi and syrian war is being drawn that there circumstances that the scent tickets agree require u.s. action. we have to do it, says a former national security adviser and the dean of a group of strategists who met with obama monday night. but he cautions because the conflict is likely to spread into other countries and last longer than we expect. we have to avoid the mistakes we made after september 11th of 2001 of seeming to launch a global war on terror this time he argues, the united states
needs to rely on saudi arabia, turkey and jordan rather than making it the united states' fight. >> we say amen. >> amen. >> john meacham, what do you think? >> i think he is right, obviously. i think there is a sense now that there is perhaps not a single global war on terror that was launched in the midst of tragedy on a day of fire as problem put it 13 years ago tomorrow. but now we have a series of region am conflicts that require mod lated responses, same goal as protecting the homeland, protecting american interests. we've had two acts of war against the united states and the beheading of these two journalists recently. we have to respond to that. >> john, are you shocked by the numbers that we are? we obviously expected the american public to be supportive. we got over 90% considering this group a threat. over 90% wanting action.
you got 34% wanting boots allegheny county and you also have something that herald and i don't remember, a president that is as far behind the american public's will as this president is. he has a 40% approval rating the lowest in the msnbc poll a. 62% disapproval rating. i think those numbers clang fairly quickly once we start going after isis. but the presidents are not usually the ones reluctantly tracked toer what, are they? >> that's true. it is a curious moment in the last 15 year cycle of american history on this. part of it is what president bush articulated at the very beginning very shrewdly, there was not going to be a battle subpoena missouri moment. it was going to be episodic. it was going to be complicated to quote president kennedy, it was going to be a long twilight
struggle. i think the president has two significant audiences, maybe three tonight. one is the broad american people which as you say are more engaged in and taking action than he has seemed to be. the other is the opinion makers, dr. brzezinski, ignacious, others who think he's moved too slowly. the others are these allies in the region who will have to step up. >> amen to that. >> john meacham. thank you very much. we'll see new nashville. up next, we will speak to someone actively involved in strengthening the nfl policies. she'll weigh in on the latest ray rice saga next. more "morning joe" when we return.
. >> joining us now the president
of the national networks kim gandy. >> obviously, a lot of people talked to you about janay rice's instagram post, where she is blaming her husband. it's obvious from people that may not understand what it's like to be a victim of domestic abuse. can you talk about there? >> you know, i didn't really find that post surprising at all. one thing that we know is that victims of domestic violence say and do whatever they need to do to keep themselves and their families safe and they're the best judge of what they need to do to stay safe. >> what were your thoughts? i think most people were outraged when somebody smoking pot gets suspended. even before we saw the tape inside the elevator, rice for two games. did, why didn't the nfl get how horribly offensive that was to americans and does the nfl get
it yet? >> you know, i think that a lot of people were shocked by that and at the same you might recall that ray rice got a standing ovation from ravens' fans. so there is a lot of confusion among the population in this country about what is and isn't acceptable to this day. statement i think that we're still in the 1950s. >> yeah. >> when beating your wife was just okay. but clearly the fan base spoke up in a big way and the nfl got the message that they had badly messed this up. >> mishandled it. no leadership, poor leadership at the very least. let me ask you, kim, what do you think the rises should do? what would you like them to do with this? is there something they can do with this tragedy? >> you know, one hopes that given this breather, if you will, i think he has a year before he's allowed to apply for
reinstatement. they have a chance to put this back together for him to get counseling and to deal with his issues and one hopes as one always does that things will be better. >> so some stats from the centers for disease control and prevention, the national intimate partner and sexual violence survey. 31% of women in the u.s. have been physically abused. 20% of women. almost 20 have been raped. 22% of women and 42% of men have experienced severe physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner. is this getting better, worse, staying about the same? what are the trend lines looking like through domestic violence? >> actually, according to reports, there has been a 64% decline since the passage of the violence against womening a 20 years ago. so there has been a significant decline which tells you that the numbers were really, really high
before that. at the same i think there is more reporting, people are more likely to talk about it. but today and yesterday, absolutely the biggest public discussion i have ever seen domestic violence in 40 years in this movement. the biggest. it's everywhere. >> kim gandy thank you for everything you do. still ahead, senators tom coburn and joe mandhin. was dick kane right and president obama wrong? >> we have a debate coming up. it's going to get ugly. >> is it you and me? >> no, mercenaries, next was dick kane right? keep it right here on "morning joe.". kid: hey dad, who was that man?

. >> okay. joining us from washington former white house press secretary and secretary for george wind chill bush ari fleischer, here we go. >> you are here, we had them in the same room, punches were thrown. gibbs had bandages on his face. we had to separate them.
let's start with the first question. gibb by we hope you feel better since. as for the president's foreign policy the numbers have come out why are those numbers so low? >> i there i the american people arulesed to strength and leadership from the president. the president heard his own call when he had to take back his own words when he said his goal is to destroy isis and make it a manageable program. the president has squandered much of the strength of foreign policy. he has a chance to get it back. his speech is when he has the attention of american country on the eve of 9/11 where the president has a tremendous opportunity to reis et the table. >> ari, he said the president squandered his opportunity. do you agree? >> absolutely not. i do agree with ari in that the president has a moment tonight that only presidents are
afforded to re-assert himself to get rid of some of the bad optics of august but i think the american people want to see is steady leadership and a plan to deal with isis. that's what they will expect tonight and what you will likely hear the president to deliver at a very unique moment. >> do you think he has been a bit too deliberate. he is called cold, aloof, a professor. is this one of those times where the public rose up against him because of those personal attributes? >> they knew what they were getting within they elected him. >> i do think the deliberateness is reaction to a decade of having gotten into things in a manner of sort of ready, fire, aim and that's not the way this president is going to get into it. look, we'll only have history to look back and see whether if going in a month earlier will have made a big difference or not. >> all right. guys, here's the "wall street
journal" editorial. dick kane is still right. >> it's hard for to you say, isn't it? >> it doesn't roll off the tongue. >> i like it. >> president obama will layout his plan to counter the islamic state on wednesday night and will judge the strategy on its merits, but the mere fact that mr. obama feels obliged to send americans to fight again if iraq acknowledges the failure of his foreign policy. he is tacitly admitling that the liberal critique of the bush administration's approach to terrorism is wrong. robert gibbs. >> you know, it's hard to hear. i feel like i'm in the way back machine, dick cheney in iraq. look. maybe the best thing i can say is in all the keeps up, we might finally be greeted as liberators in iraq and dick cheney will in some way finally be right for a prediction he made there i will say this, i don't think the american people are still fighting the bush-clan versus barak obama on iraq.
i think what they want to see is something moving forward on what they believe is a serious threat not only in iraq but throughout the middle east. >> ari fleischer is he still right? >> i think the issue is will we all be better off will he leave a substantial amount of forces there. that would have prevented isis from coming in in the first place. the answer is yes. i was ambiguous, i was happy we were done. it was a mistake. we should have kept the troops there. robert nailed it as far as what the american people want. they're not interested in this retroactive debate. they want solutions to what is going on there to protect us. >> i think most americans agree with both of you guys. i am disappointed you are not fighting each other as much as you did. i think this is hopeful. are both talking about looking forward. ari, you take care of organizations in trouble, that need help with their pr. what is the one thing you would have the president of the united
states say tonight to convince the american beam that he gets it? >> he needs to ring clear this is a threat to the united states, isis represents a threat to our interests in the middle east, to our countries and nobody can behead americans without paying a heavy price. >> that's right. >> he is resolute we will destroy isis t. rest of the details about how that's important to execute it well. that's a moment tonight. >> robert, have you done this before. what would you be telling the president tonight? >> very similar thing. i think in many ways the people of the united states you see from the polling are very much in tune with the fact that isis is a big threat. unlike a year ago the president was trying to convince airstrikes in syria because of the use of chemical weapons and 60% of the people said no. tlair they're on the side of understanding there is a big threat t. most important thing from the president is to re-assert his leadership if laying out a succinct and clear plan that won't be easy and will take quite some time and what that will entail for the
american people. >> that's what i was trying to say. thank you so much. >> they with us. we will talk to you at the top of the hour. the fact that those two agreed so much. i saw that as a very encouraging sign, america is in the same place right now with this threat and that's really great news for the country. it's great news for the president. >> much more ahead. we'll be right back. >> we shall return.
. >> i think we found the worst introduction ever. >> what? >> maybe in the history.
>> really? >> this is for scott brown. he won a primary up in new hampshire. >> you know he's actually from new hampshire, actually? >> well, but he's, there is this whole issue. >> le won the primary. there are the rules. you have it. >> everybody is supporting him. >> here's what the son of former new hampshire governor said to introduce u.s. senator candidate scott brown on sunday. >> someone came up and said, i love to meet scott. i us as thought. this is one of those things i thought scott was a phony from massachusetts. >> yes. >> i said, you got to sit down. you got to sit down because he sat down, they had the little conversation. he walked away. you no ewhat he said? that guy is a phony from new hampshire that just happened to live in massachusetts for a little while. he's more new hampshire than most people we have in new hampshire. >> wow, a phony from massachusetts. >> a phony from new hampshire.
>> low key. it felt odd. have you ever had a situation. >> it doesn't quite work. >> did you think that was a joke? >> yes. >> he was trying to make a joke. >> i would retrack. that was not the worst introduction. it was a little clumsy, perhaps. >> no, it was bad. >> it wasn't great. >> he's not a phony from massachusetts. he's a phony from new hampshire. >> never use the word phony. >> people didn't ask us. >> here's a funny guy that had the part in "moneyball," i'm sorry? >> jona hill. >> a little jona hill. >> wow. all right. man, that is a poor intro. >> the next hour of "morning joe." starts right now. >> whoa! [ music playing
[ music playing ] >> yesterday morning, i got into the office and our staff had come to me and said there is new evidence, there is a video that you need to see and i watched it then. >> did you know a sec tame existed? >> we had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. we assumed that there was a video. we asked for a video but we were never granted that opportunity. >> so did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday? >> no. >> no one in the nfl? >> no one in the nfl, to my knowledge, and i asked that same question. the answer to that is no. while we certainly didn't know what was on the tape. we have been very open and honest i have also from two weeks ago when i acknowledged we didn't get the right. that's my responsibility and i'm accountable for that. >> whoa. first of all, wow, nor remarks she was tough. >> she did a great job on that.
>> a very good interview. >> but roger looked really shaky. i don't know. >> i think the whole thing is shaky the way the nfl has handled this from the get-go. they're not there yet. >> they're pushing a story that's just not believable. they couldn't get ahold of a casino from inside an elevator? that's unbelievable. >> it's a story that's not necessary for the action that should have been taken. >> for the. >> they didn't need that other piece of video. they actually didn't need it. >> they never got it. they can't say what the ravens' owner said, we screwed up. >> i like what he said. why don't i go there now? because this is what should have been said, mike barnable. >> mike, goodell looked like he was about to cry. it was a shaky performance. i think they would have been much better off sending him out saying we're not going to pars words, we're not going to look
for plugs for liability say we screwed up. how hard would this be? turn the camera on me, ask what happened? i'm goodell. >> all right. roger, the vaip tape. >> yeah. >> did anybody in the nfl see the tape prior to? >> you know what, mike, we were idiots, you know we walk in an elevator, we know a tape is there. we were idiots. we were blind. this caught us by surprise. we made a mistake from the very beginning. we apologize to not only the women victims of domestic abuse, we apologize to miss rice, ourself. we let her down. this is a teachable moment. you hear about a teachable moment. somebody that screwed up as me and the nfl, i promise you, it will never happen again him i'm ashamed of what we did. more importantly, i'm ashamed by what we did not do. >> see now the question is. >> what do you are say after that instead of -- we didn't know about elevator tapes.
what do you say after that? but, okay. all right. well, okay. thank you for apologizing. now let's go, as jesus said, go and say no more. >> roger goodell's inability to say what you just said and to pretty much end it. >> which by the way everybody knows is the truth. >> absolutelyt the truth. it gets to the national football leak's sense of air goons about what it is. they literally dominate this country in terms of sports followship. they dominate television. >> this has been going on a long time. you talk about presidents that have to change speeches because it might conflict with an nfl game. the nfl didn't even can sell football games in november of 1963 after jfk was assassinated. >> petro sell said until the day he died, it was the single biggest mistake he made personally and professionally. >> sometimes the show doesn't go
on. sometimes the nfl stops and says, we screwed up. >> i like what you said. that's basically what they said. he did a great job, i would add to your comments if he was sitting in the hot seat, he should have said we are going to make this right. we will start several initiatives. it will take years, domestic violence is a pervasive problem across the country. we have clearly botched. this we will make it right by doing a, b, c. here we got the ravens' owner. we did not do all we should have done and no amount of explanation can remedy that. >> that's what you did. >> a great job. so we will be stalking about that obviously over the next couple of hours. i wish this show were five hours long. we have so much to talk about. we have polls that are out. you hear that story on willie showed me this story when it rains, it pours. >> the whole golf thing.
>> everything is getting to him. so when it comes to golf, president obama apparently is just like the red of us, the president was turned down all actually by several cops. they wouldn't turn me down. top golf courses over labor day weekend, club managers said. the president got rejeblged at three or four different golf courses. >> we have mark halperin and robert gibbs. >> and a good day for both of these guys to come out. >> few polls shows you a growing concern over national security 47% of americans say they are less spoekt protected -- >> let's keep that number up him pike, that's a shocking number. >> it is. guess what, they may be right. the majority may be right.
i don't know whether they're right or wrong, joe. i will tell you there i cannot recall a news event so impacting than those two reporters. >> i have to get the exact number. jesse rodriguez came up and said those were the most followed news stories over the past decade. >> i believe it. >> as far as online that it has as i said the morning after, what fools, what evil fools, i can't even say what they are at isis. they have awakened a country that was war wary. now they are going to all die because of it. >> before if awakening, what it did was inject an element of fear in this country. fear is contagious. >> he said he looked back and
the president was unable to find brought support in syria, these beheadings as gruesome as they were translate into these are real americans, this threat can come to us. >> come to us. >> robert, mark, when it comes to the terror group isis more than 60% say it's in our country's interest to take military action against the terror group. 40% support only air strikes to curb the isis threat. 34% want to put boots on the ground and american support of president obama's foreign policy strategy has hit an all time low time for some action. 32% of americans approve of his handleing foreign affairs, one-third of democrats disapprove of his approach, another high. republicans are overwhelmingly seen as more capable of panging the nation's foreign policy over democrats. when it comes to who can best handle the nation's defense, republicans are again favored
over democrats by 38%. >> mark halperin, the numbers look bass bad for president obama, a lot has to do with the american people there is so unusual. if you can think of an example where the american people were this far ahead of the president the commander-in-chief going into war, let me know, john meacham, harold ford, all of us can't remember that time. the numbers look bad. they all seem to be based on the same reality and that is the american people think the president has taken too long to face this threat. >> why has he been slow to act? one is he has been trying to build a coalition behind the scenes. two, he realizes his overarc was to bring american troops home. >> can i stop right there? i think these numbers are like vapor, they're going to disappear into thin air. he will go on tonight and say maybe i did take a little longer. but look what's happened because of that. the american people are behind
this in a way they haven't been in a long time. also we got the uae. we got egypt the arab league, list off all of these countries that now support the united states of america's efforts, right? don't you think if he delivers the speech right, these numbers will turn around quickly on foreign policy. >> i think so. then there needs to be the follow through. i think the biggest thing that holding him back, his mind goes to that david ignacious clul that laid a lot of map. this is a difficult operation, not militarily. but what happens after the power of the american military is inflicted in iraq and maybe syria. what happens to the hearts and minds of the region? the coalition with assad and iran, it's so complicated. i don't think he'll get into that tonight. he does as i say have a chance to step up to where the public is. which is reaction to what's going on t. absolute necessity
existential necessity with the broad coalition he can build. >> i have to say there is one of the first administrative addresses i am thinking in the morning i have got to stop and physical out where i'm going to be tonight and if i have an event i have to find a tv to watch it. americans are going to be tuned in tonight. >> i would hope so. i would hope so. basically, because of the complexity of the issue as mark halperin indicated. robert guy given complexity of the issue, that region, sunni vs. sunni, shia vs. sheia, all of the tern internal issues in that area of the world and the fact that the president clearly is not going to weigh out the logistics of when he will start or whether it will be tactical or strategic, what do you look from the president in terms of telling the american public about if length of this operation, it could be three years, it could be a decade. what's he going to do? >> i think that's one of the
great unanswered questions about the speech tonight. i think you saw him hint when he did the interview with conduct todd over the weekend for "meet the press," when he talked about the fact it's time for the united states to go back on offense. i think that meant for him politically and leadership and also the american militarys it increases tempo for airstrikes in the region. i think one of the things that will also be interesting to see. we mentioned these arab coalitions. i think there are mr. leaders that you degrade american airstrikes and iraq and syria. the question is, can you truly dismantle and defeat isis without some force on the ground and if we rule out american combat troops, presumably, that rules out in many ways european troops, who are those forces on the ground? are they the moderate syrian rebels? are we stepping up our increasing our involvement with them? does that mean it extended if
iraq, kurdish forces? i think there are a lot of interesting and unanswered questions on what the military presence will look like okay here with us from capitol hill, congressman keith allison. change pon, thanks for being on. >> keith, it's great to be on. do you support the americans efforts to go in and degrade isis? >> i think it's important to talk about this within a political framework. putting the coalition together, making sure if iraq the sunni community feels it is included in the governance of that country. sharing in the oil wealth. all these political factors diplomatic factors need to take place so that when you use military force you don't make the problem worse. so, for example, if we would have used military force before we left, we could have made this situation much worse. >> we are where we are. what do you want to hear from
the president tonight so you can go back to your constituents and say i think taking military action against isis is the right thing to do? >> again, what i will say is we have pulled together an international force. it is primarily arab led, iraqi led. there is something we are going to be taking care of the details on with regard to turkey, jordan, making sure all our partners are in a role so we are in the in a go it along way with no ultimate way out of this thing. so the fact is that that's what i want to hear. i think that will make for a sustainable peace after one is established. >> are you hearing from your constituents what they are saying? >> you see isis as a grave threat? >> people were horrified by these executions. they're also concerned about what are the homeland implications of a group like isis. are they worried about these people coming back and what are
we doing to stop that? so there are a lot of concerns. we're trying to address them all. at the end of the day the cowboy thing is not going to win the day. we've got to be smart. we've got to be deliberate and whatever force we use needs to fit within the overall political framework. that includes even on the homefront. that means we got to make sure we are in a naked relationship, engaging people, building trust, so we can get the information we need to protect people in the local communities. >> all right. congressman. >> thank you very much. >> i appreciate it. >> harold, he says the cowboy thing doesn't work. at the same time, this president does not need to be restrained. >> no. >> he does not need to be passive. he does not need to be reserved. he needs to go out of his comfort zone. he needs to be aggressive and pushing forward, he needs to tell the american people in clear uncertain terms this is not one of these things where we will sit back and analyze the situation for another couple months. we are going to war, we are going to kill them.
it's a proverbial moment where the country is willing to ask questions afterwards. we do take action. i recall when we were in congress and the vote came around about iraq and you had a number of democrats, including myself, support the president and authorizing the use of force, it's interesting to hear congressman ellison whose inclination is not about action. he clearly understands where the country he. at the same time he understands that framework involves military action. i think the president has a willing congress tonight. mike said it best, he's got to frame where we're going, how le will do it and give some sense of this time table for the countries for him to be able to sustain the support he has. >> robert gibbs, thank you very much. great to have you on this morning. still ahead on "morning joe," richard branson explains the virgin way. his thoughts on leadership in our next hour. later this hour, check this gubernatorial candidate, wendy davis will join us on set. but first, falling asleep on the

candidate for texas governor, texas state senator wendy dives, her memoir is titled forgetting to be afraid. you forgot right to be afraid? >> i did. >> it sure seems like it you have had a lot of bumps in the road, people attacking you from your parenting to your stance on some key issues. first of all, a big picture. how is the race going? >> i this i the race is going unbelievably well. we have a very aggressive ground game going on in texas and the energy and enthusiasm behind this race is like nothing i've ever seen in our state. >> it's an uphill battle, though, obviously? democrats haven't won state wide in a really long time. i heard you say there are not that general elections that count in texas. you have to reinner gait those that have stayed home a long time. how long has it been? >> it really was that last race anne richards lost in 1994. >> wow. >> we are trying to break through as you said educate the
electorate. i feel we have an excited and engaged electorate that isn't typical for texas. >> let's talk about the book. you decided to go there. >> in a lot of ways. >> it's a really tough book. a lot of people talked about your filibuster. but you while you are reading the story of other women that had abortions under difficult circumstances, you didn't talk about a couple that you had. >> two of them. >> and in both cases, fairly tragic? >> yes. >> tell us about it. >> well, the first was an ectopic pregnancy, which of course is dangerous for a woman. the second was when we were told that our very much loved and wanted daughter had a severe brain abnormally and we had to confront what we would do. >> you had already given her a name, hadn't you? >> kate elise. we went to four different doctors hoping that someone
would give us a different ray or a small ray of hope. >> no. >> and none could. they told us if she survived to term, she likely wouldn't survive delivery. if she survived delivery, she likely would be in a permanent vegetative state and we did what we felt was the most loving thing for our daughter. >> right. >> when we went through the experience, my doctor provided us with some really good material to read. i wanted to be able to do the same thing for other people that these folks did when we read it. it was very helpful to us. >> you didn't bring this up in your many hours of filibustering in that moment that really put you in the national stage. where not? >> i thought about it. i write about it in the book. i to the about it especially as i red a story that was very much like mine, but i feared if i
did, the day would be about me. it needed to be about all those voices they felt hadn't been heard and had been ignored and i was trying to give voice to them. >> senator, because of the way you rose to national prominence with that filibuster, you have been so identified with the issue of abortion. you write about it in the book. do you think that's hurt you at all inside the state of texas where you go out and that's the first thing people want to talk to you about. maybe you want to talk about jobs or health care or something else important to texans? >> what i am pleadsed to see as the race is shaping up what people want to talk to me about is education. and i write about that in my book my break through from single mom poverty came through a path made possible by education. and i previously had a filibuster in 2011 to stop five.5 billion dollars from being cut from our public schools. so i'm very well known for my
fight to create more support for public ed, greater access to higher ed. >> that really is the central issue in this race. >> mark halperin in d.c. has a question for you. >> you are not running against rick perry, are you running to replace him against greg abbott the attorney general of your state. governor perry's big call for his record, big claim is on the economy and jobs. you are talking about education and infrastructure. what are you promising the voters of texas you will do from terms of improving on or keeping up with rick perry's? what kind of economic growth and job creation? >> so the big issue for us is what will we do from this path forward for texas? and education truly is the key, i was watching a story earlier on this show, talking about the inability to fill certain job sectors because of the lack of a trained work force to do that. and we know in texas we got a real challenge with our human resources with our capacity to
fill those jobs because we don't have the training for the jobs of tomorrow. that's why i've made it the central focus of this race. >> would your job goat under the davis administration be as fast or faster than it's been under governor perry? >> i believe very strongly in some of the tools that we've widely used in texas, the economic development tools the public private partnerships. this was an area of expertise within i was on the city council for the nine years i was there i believe we need to continue to use that. we need to continue to make sure that texas leads the nation in economic growth and it's my plan not only to continue to strongly urge the use of those tools but to do it in a way that's transparent and accountable. i was very proud in the last legislative session to pass an audit for the first time of the way some of those funds are being used to make sure that our private partners are living up to their end of the bargain. >> looking at your pictures of your beautiful daughters in this book.
i know have you talked a lot about them. you have been criticized for your parenting skills and choices along the way. i think it's interesting, you are right now moving with women in texas. i wonder what you make of that and if you think there is any connection to the criticism that you have received. you talk about making the path possible for everyone through education. your path to educate yourself was long and arduous and it has really difficult decisions where at times your choin chirn couldn't be with you. you were judged extremely harshly for those decisions. by the way, a man would never be judged for that and you did these things to better yourself and to bring up your family. and yet, it's seen if such a different light. i'm wondering sometimes if women actually judge that decision. what do you think? >> i certainly hope not. my daughters are amazing young women. my oldest daughter is here with me this morning and has been significantly helping me.
>> and the product of my hard work. >> and the product of hard work. we grew up through some tough times together she and i. i think our story is a story of success. it's a story of overcoming the odds. and that was all made possible because of education. i'm proud of the path that i took to make a better life. >> i want to just read one other part of this book. because it talks about what a moving book. what a remarkable life you've had, whether you are a republican or a democrat and i can say this. i'm selling the book. i'm a republican. i would not vote for miss davis. but i can still love the book and be moved. be moved by, i think an inspirational story. this is important. your mother is a single mother. she's struggled with thoughts of suicide. >> yes. >> and there is what you write. as she was contemplateing taking the lives, taking her life and the lives of her three young children, an angel came into her
life that day, a neighbor who had never come into her home before rang the bell and he sat in the living room. he held my mother's hand. he talked to her for quite some time. by the time he left, she was through it. and she came and collected us from the car and put one foot in front of the other and pushed on for all of us and did a beautiful job of it. >> she did. >> there are so many, you know, we always hear about the bad in the world. there are so many angels out there, aren't will? there really are. >> i have been blessed by so many in my life. i truly have. >> incredible. >> who inspired. >> ladybird johnson when asked. she was very shy when she overcame that to do the things she did. she said you have to get so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid. that's story of my life. it truly is. >> it sounds like a really powerful book. thank you for coming in.
good luck. you got to ask her. we always know this. right. ask her how many days inle the election. >> 64. >> you always know, don't you? >> you know i had one on before she had a tear away calendar, i had this big magic marker. oh. >> up next. >> good luck. >> espn's mike golic weighs on ray rice and the 2014 nfl season next. is elon musk single handled creating the world of tomorrow? in there he looks frightening. >> he looks like a -- >> innovators, be every we go to break this friday, we will be talking to legendary film maker ken burns about the radios velocity, intimate mystery. >> it's his best. >> all week we will be asking you new questions about that family dynasty. today's question? which president appointed eleanor roosevelt to the united nations general assembly.
we will give an on air shout out to the first person who tweets the correct response using the hashtag roosevelt's pbs. joe, you make this so difficult. "morning joe" will be right back. before the names "theodore," "eleanor," and "franklin" were indelibly etched into the american consciousness. and the course of human history was forever changed by their individual endeavors. a prominent family made a point of teaching the value of altruism, the power of perseverance, and the virtue of helping out one's fellow man. dad,thank you mom for said this oftprotecting my future.you. thank you for being my hero and my dad. military families are uniquely thankful for many things,
the legacy of usaa auto insurance could be one of them. if you're a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life.
. >> welcome back. >> football analyst mike golic the co-host of mike and mike in the morning. >> by the way, could this be the mutual admiration. we love you as well in there we don't get to watch your show all the time. when i'm on vacation, man, i love flipping back and forth. >> i like the molten desserts.
>> mike, here's the deal. >> we like roger and the nfl. you know what, man, he should have come out and said we screwed up. nobody here believes that they're getting the plausibled in they want about the elevator. it's terrible. >> i like the fact they came out and basically said we blew it they took a lot of heat and said we blew that, we put a new domestic out six and out for the second. we'll see how that goes. in this situation, do you think i think they could have gone ahold of the tape? absolutely. >> didn't they need the tape? >> that's a great. we brought that up as well on our show. we saw the first tape where she
was dragged outside of the elevator. what do we think happened outside the elevator? the story from baltimore is i believe they're saying when ray rice and janay talked to them they lightened the story a bit about what happened in the elevator. what you needed was the tape and nobody really sought out the ta tape. >> where does this go for roger good em? he can say i didn't see the tape. is that enough? does he get through this? >> i think it does. if they saw the tape and lied about seeing the tape and we find that out i think that is it. i think them not getting the tape. i think that was a mistake. i this they could have. they didn't. that was their mistake. we didn't get it. i don't think he will lose his job. >> it may have been their way of protecting themselves, we didn't see it. we're clean. >> in my eyes they and baltimore could have gotten it.
>> to that point give america some inkling you played in the nfl of the security personnel around the american football league and individual teams. these guys are not mall cops. >> they're former february fib, former cops that help out the nfl and teams as well. we know, teams know the guy they will draft in the sixth round had for lunch you know two years ago. so they can find out. listen, i absolutely agree that they didn't go far enough in trying to get the tape. do i think they saw the tape and lied about it? . i can't believe they would go down that road. they know everybody involved including from the top down will lose their job there. so i think between they and baltimore, they didn't do enough. i think baltimore thought was ray rice was a huge part of our community. we will take him and janay at their word. they didn't go further than that. >> they're doing better no you in terms of their response than i think the nfl.
>> i think, whoa, whoa, we haven't seen the ape is a poor choice forward. here's the bottom line. they should have done much more. they need to find a way to say that. >> i completely agree. you larry, they talked about this also here to talk about something. >> i know why there is pepper on your shirt. yes, we got that. >> can we talk about saint joouds? >> we played in the liberty bowl against doug flutie in memphis. as a 20-year-old, we went through saint juchltd if you walked through st. jude the children's research hospital, it's amazing, so now 31 years later i got the chance to go back and see the advancements and see how the, what the death
rate was and how that's improved and the great work they're doing. but it costs money. they're making great advances, but it costs money because families don't cost a dime. chiles has been fantastic over the last ten years it's been 50 million in donation and money they've raised and through september 22nd, you go to any chiles anywhere. they have game day money you can buy. different ways can you give money to add to this donation. september 22nd, the end of it. the net profits from chiles that day goes to st. jude's. >> we have a lot of restaurants we have to take mica to. she doesn't get out. she's like ule gibb bonnes. >> i'm taking to you chiles. i absolutely love chile's. >> you start with dessert. >> i'm with you. >> the appetizers, a southwestern egg roll. you go from there.
>> i always have the same thing every time. i have the buffalo ranch chicken sandwich. i am a creature of habit. >> that is great. >> two moments really quickly. we are running out of time. we got to hear. what is going to win the super bowl? >> i put denver back in the super bowl against the eagles. i didn't go with the eagles, i want an offense. >> can manning step up? >> it was either the new orleans offense or philly offense. i think denver gets it done in the next year or two. i think that's it. i think that's all manning has. that window will close. >> thank you for coming. still ahead from the ipod to the ipad, now the apple watch. they've set the trend for user technology. is apple still at the head of the digital revolution? then sir richard branson joins us in our 8:00 hour live. are you watching "morning joe." we'll be right back.
.
with us now, "vanity fair" contributing editor, here to talk about the newest issue, which looks at where the digital evolution is headed.
introducing these people who have a, quote, rebellious sense of wonder. >> elawn musk in our 20th anniversary year is our number one. he is -- has got staggering ambition combined with this do-gooder sense of purpose. and he's become sort of taking steve jobs' role as the inspirational leader out -- >> what's next for him? >> we, he wants to colonize mars so he wants to send people to mars it of course he's expanded the line of teslas. and then the hyper loop. he wants to get us from los angeles to san francisco in 35 minutes. >> that's a staggering ambition. >> you know what's interesting, number two, number three, number four, you have companies that have been around for a while, google, apple, amazon. what are they doing?
>> look what apple just announced yesterday. i think with the apple watch, you're going to see for the first time the wheearable categy moving beyond the fitness wat wearers. >> what about number eight, ali ba baba? >> they've got that ipo coming up. alibaba is responsible for 80% of the commerce in china. that's a lot. >> you've got the powers that be. you've got rupert murdoch, the man from comcast, robert downey jr. among them. >> yeah, yeah, talk about your cover boy, robert downey jr. >> he is the highest paid actor in hollywood. he's taking the franchise, the
marvel franchise, and it's just exploded. those are the movies that are selling. they work in this country and they work -- >> i've got younger kids so i've seen iron man and avengers. robert downey jr.'s role in both of those, it's just -- it's pitch perfect. >> pitch perfect. >> you understand why he's paid so much. because they made ga zalons of dollars. >> and they're good, too. >> they're good. adults can watch. and be entertained by this extraordinarily talented actor. >> and people go back two and three time, especially younger people, that's where the money is. also, the money is, one of the aspects of this, the changing nature of cable tv. the different platforms so astoundingly different than the innovation of cable in the early '90s. >> we compared where cable was 20 years ago to now.
basically the water cooler combination is dominated by cable shows. we thought it was important to highlight, yes, all the technological change but content still matters, it does. >> quality of content. >> exactly. >> we'll be checking out the latest issue of "vanity fair." thank you. up next, it may end up being the defining speech of his presidency. what president obama should say tonight when he addresses the nation. >> we get some poll numbers that were pretty extraordinary. americans more fearful today than they were before 9/11. >> i think the table is set for an effective speech. >> no doubt. he needs to step up and deliver. >> and then senators tom coburn and joe manchin will weigh in on the possibility of a congressional vote to strike isis. plus, millions of americans at risk for severe weather car
report. which president appointed eleanor roosevelt? we have the correct response. keep watching for our week-long coverage of ken burns' new documentary, the roosevelts, an intimate history. we'll be right back. before the names "theodore," "eleanor," and "franklin" were indelibly etched into the american consciousness. and the course of human history was forever changed by their individual endeavors. a prominent family made a point of teaching the value of altruism, the power of perseverance, and the virtue of helping out one's fellow man. can you start tomorrow?
yes sir. alright. let's share the news tomorrow. today we failrly busy. tomorrow we're booked solid. we close on the house tomorrow. i want one of these opened up. because tomorow we go live... it's a day full of promise. and often, that day arrives by train. big day today? even bigger one tomorrow. when csx trains move forward, so does the rest of the economy. csx. how tomorrow moves. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. when sales rep steve hatfield books at laquinta.com, so he knows exactly when he can prep for his presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings? and that's how you'll increase market share. any questions? can i get an "a", steve? yes! three a's! amazing sales! he brings his a-game! la quinta inns and suites is ready for you, so you'll be ready for business. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com! la quinta! you can eat that on looks amazing.rs?

(knochello? hey, i notice your car is not in the driveway. yeah. it's in the shop. it's going to cost me an arm and a leg. that's hilarious. sorry. you shoulda taken it to midas. get some of that midas touch. they tell you what stuff needs fixing, and what stuff can wait. next time i'm going to midas. high-five! arg! i did not see that coming. trust the midas touch. for brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling)
if i listen to you correctly today, you said the president will tell the country there will be no ground troops involved, there will be no tactical details, no time line for victory, no cost associated with the pursuit of victory. why should anyone watch? >> well, they should watch because the president of the united states and the commander in chief will be communicating directly with the american people about a national security priority. >> the audience wants to know how we're going to win. i don't hear the president telling people that tomorrow. >> i don't have the speech in front of me but i would encourage you to tune in and hear directly from the commander in chief about his assessment of of this critical national priority. >> what do you think of that, mika? >> i think that todd earnest was earnestly looking for an answer there. nice guy -- >> but you? >> it's a good question? >> it's a good question. i get the sense after you saw the major garrett question you would have asked the same thing.
a lot times the president goes on tv and he doesn't break through. >> we have been before presidential address saying this is his moment, this is his moment, and we're saying it again. if you look at the numbers we're going to be talking about again, i think people are ready to hear what he has to say. we have nbc news political director, moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd with us. >> chuck, the polls are really shocking. how a war weary nation is all ready to go in against isis. secondly, how badly the president's numbers have suffered. >> it's not just him. it's actually impacting the entire party.
we did some issue testing before who better handles which issues. republicans lead by 35 points on the issue of ensuring a strong defense. he's on the precipice of doing jimmy carter-like damage to the party. he cringed there when i said that. >> sometimes when we speak, he said, even my grandmother -- jimmy carter -- >> right, for some time. he's in this moment. you made a good point, i think i heard in the 6:00 hour, which is this is a reverse situation. the nation's wanting him to come to his side. if he can step up on something
he doesn't like doing, which is the theater of the presidency, he needs to have a strong performance tonight, because the country seems to be demanding it. they're almost -- they're begging him. one of the things we found in this poll. think about the controversy stories we've covered in the last five years. >> there were democrats saying internal polls show that their numbers, they just happened to go up with some polls after the president went golfing after the beheading of mr. foley, and said their poll, they lost 6, 7, 8 percentage points. al franken writing a letter, sounding more like joe mccain than al franken. obviously, we now see the backlash. i don't think my party's had
that advantage in any poll. a long time. >> this is the party of bush's foreign policy which is still unpopular. it really is a reactive thing right now. >> these new polls point to a growing concern over national security. 40% of americans say we are less safe today -- >> 47 -- >> than we were before the attacks on september 11th. we'll be hearing from the president tonight. it's the highest number since 2002. when it comes to the terror group isis, more than 60% say it's in our country's interest. >> look at these numbers. we haven't seen those numbers since the days after 9/11. >> you can't underestimate the role social media has played in those numbers. the viral impact of the beheadings of james foley and steven sotloff, it was epidemic. fear is an easily communicable disease in this country. a lot of that 61% is the fear of
isis, even though it's probably not as critical as many people think in terms of us here. you really get this just from talking to people. we can do this. we fight back. we are who we are. there's been sort of a is up la mation of that feeling. unfortunately, part of it led by the president saying we have to strategy and things like that. it's a pretty complex thing. >> where's the debate about what do we do after? when we're done defeating isis, and many doubt we're going to defeat isis. who's in charge of rebuilding
syria. that's the question we still don't have the answer to. >> americans support of president obama's foreign policy strategy has hit an all-time low. 32% of americans approve of his administration's handling of foreign affairs. republicans are overwhelmingly seeming more campable, and when it comes to the nation's defense, the publics again are favored over democrats. >> i understand they're saying these are temporary. i've been around enough. we've been around enough to know.
to understand they go so quickly. we know what happened there. george h.w. bush had an 89% approval rating at the end of the first gulf war. if he gives a good speech, acts aggressive, these numbers can change. >> most of the new erosion are people inclined to support the president. is essentially the fear, the pride aspect -- >> you really can't look at the polls today on september the 9th, the 10th, and say i now have a better idea? >> no, however, this is a tipping point moment.
you are thankful the president is addressing the nation and you are absolutely rooting for him. if he does, you're right, he fixes a lot of this. >> what does he want from congress? because there are certain republicans -- >> we'll give you more, which i think that is playing a little too much politics. >> joining us now, democratic senator from west virginia, member of the senate armed services committee, senator joe manchin. and republican senator from oklahoma and ranking member of the homeland security and governmental affairs committee, senator tom coburn. >> these are two of our favorite guys on capitol hill. >> are you talking to me? >> yes, sir. >>cy want leadership.
he doesn't need authority in my opinion from congress. we kind of created this situation. it's time for us to clean it up. it's not going to be easy but it will take our efforts to limit this threat. >> senator manchin, do you want to hear something different from the president tonight? >> i want to hear who is committed to helping, who has the same fear we do. >> i would hope he's able to bring that together and explain tonight. i believe if i was president, i'd want to go to congress. he's going to have to work with this sooner than later.
so that's inevitable. >> what are you hearing? what are they saying about the president? >> well, he's falling in west virginia, so it's not the most popular place for him as far as political. the bottom line is, they want to see a result. this is a threat. but they don't see the result of us going in with boots on the ground. i don't believe that's what they want. that's not what they expect the president. i'm not going to do it. >> i'll ask the same question what are you hearing from your constituents in oklahoma? >> i think they're just generally disappointed in washington in total, not just with the president. the lack of leadership, especially in the senate. can you imagine telling the world we don't have the strategy
for something? even if you don't, you don't say it. we've created the vacuum. you wouldn't have the threat of isis right now that we have, had we had a residual force left in iraq. the sacrifices that were midmade in iraq are put at real risk because of the bumbling foreign policy of this administration. >> what do we do when we we're done getting rid of isis in syria? >> i think it depends on how it plays out. >> you have the real patriot, the real syrian patriots, that don't want to be dominated by a dictator. they're not radical islamic
fighters. they've kind of been lost in the shuffle of all this. isis, they're not the true syrians. >> i don't know if we have an end game. i don't think we can go into a muslim world and direct how we're going to restructure them. i believe we should support those who want to help themselves. when we have roberts that the rebels in syria. we have some people who want to support them and arm them.
that should give everybody pause. >> chuck's raising the issue of the end game. are your constituents prepared for a stay in that area of the world by the united states? >> absolutely not. i don't think we've seen anything improved. unless those people want to defend themselves, who are we to say? our simple mission should be, anybody that's planning to do harm to america, we're going to come and get you. i think article 2 of the
constitution is what the president's relying on. i don't thing he can do that without congress saying fine, we support that, we will appropriate money for that. we haven't seen that yet. i'm not willing to commit more men and women and troops on the ground as americans. >> all right, thank you very much. coming up, actress judith light will join us later this hour. we're going to tackle a much more serious topic. that's still ahead. and his methods are unconventional but his success unquestionable.

time now to take a look at the morning papers. the st. louis post dispatch, citizens of ferguson, missouri, voice their outrage at the first city council meeting since the shooting of unarmed teenager michael brown one month ago. hundreds of residents attending the meeting called for change amid accusation, of racism, harassment and incompetence on
the part of the police department. brown's parents again called for the arrest of the officer who shot their son. >> okay. we get this from "the new york times." the trump taj mahal could be the fifth atlantic city casino could close this year. trump entertainment filed chapter 11 bankruptcy. employees have been warned that without significant expense reduction, the casino will likely close in november. >> a california couple is lucky to be alive after floodwaters in nevada swept their van off the highway and into a ravine. terrifying video shows the moment the van gets carried away by water as a construction worker attempts to rescue them. the worker gets swept under the car bay the rushing water. soon after the van is pulled down into a ravine, floodwaters fill the van. but the couple was able to escape this before the car was fully engulfled by the rising water. the construction worker is also okay. that's unbelievable. >> that is terrifying.
>> let's turn to bill caro carr now. >> the guy that was trying to help them was caught under the car that also went down into the ravine. also fine. >> that's the system that dumped the torrential rain on phoenix two days ago, then vegas, then utah, now moving across the country. we have additional pictures from the nevada area that also got hit hard. we've been bouncing across the country with this system. of course we're also dealing with areas in illinois and virginia with a lot of flooding and damage. virginia had as much as a foot of rain. and then last night, we had severe storms roll across illinois. we had about five tornadoes reported. thankfully, no injuries, no deaths. minor damage was done there. and now we're dealing with epic flooding in northern missouri this morning. kirksville picked up 9 inches of rain overnight.
9 inches in one night. this has a tremendous amount of moisture with it. now, today, all that rain is over the kig area, heading for indiana. we're going to have additional severe storms. it's not going to be an tornado outbreak so much. we have about 24 million people, including detroit, cleveland, indianapolis, at risk of severe storms. these storms make it to the east coast thursday afternoon. if you have travel plans, new york city, washington, d.c., philadelphia, thursday afternoon, some very strong storms are going to roll through with some dangerous winds. so, this storm is going coast to coast. it's a big one. >> let's go to our papers. >> the san francisco chronicle, we're hearing apple unveiled -- >> nobody's excited. look at these watches. nobody's excited. >> it's just -- >> i've heard nothing but just a whole bunch of belly aching. >> and left-handed people are upset. >> and why are they upset? >> because people like me, because they're not made for people that -- yeah. because they're made for people
that wear their watch on left. >> which feature larger screens, faster processors and improved cameras. >> good morning. >> reporter: departing from tradition, apple ceo tim cook skipped the apple company updates -- >> everything's great. >> reporter: and jumped right into what he called the greatest phones in the world. >> these are the new iphones. >> reporter: the biggest change might be the bigger sizes. and then there's the faster processor, improved cameras, more user friendly messages. >> we have one more thing. >> reporter: cook has been criticized for not producing a truly original apple product since steve jobs passing. he answered his critics with the apple watch. >> it's amazing what you can do from your wrist. >> theme been undy've been unde
for not innovating. you can feel morale in the company on this front rising. >> reporter: apple says it's their most personal product ever. and there was something else. both phones and the watch come with apple pick, a mobile payment system that apple hopes will eventually replace your wallet. >> google has had it in various android phones for a while but people haven't wanted to use that much. the partners they've lined up have given them the best chance probably to make this work. eyes were trained on apple. and while the laundry list of new i-things will impress the matches, the tech giant has a lot to prove. the question is, will consumers buy it? cook told brian williams during product development that's what apple's all about. >> our whole role in life is to give you something you didn't know you wanted and then once you get it, you can't imagine
your life without it. >> let's bring in the rioter g writer who covers it. did he have one of these wow moments or did it disappoint again? >> i wasn't blown away. i also think a lot of the stuff happening here is really exciting. i actually think the watch is probably the least excite thing they announced yesterday. i saw someone on twitter said, apple has finally revolutionized the bar mitzvah gift. which i thought was -- but -- and we still don't know a lot about the watch. we don't know if it's waterpr f waterproof. we don't know exactly what kind of apps it will run. we're not even sure exactly when it's going to come out. there's a lot of question marks. >> did they come out with a price point for it? >> it will be $350 which is steep for a gadget but, you know, people spend outrageous sums of money on watches.
>> is the iphone as expensive as the previous iphones? >> it will happen at a couple different price points, you know, starting at around $300 depending on what kind of model you get and how much memory it has and things like that. >> kevin, speaking of the new iphone 6s, mika tried to get me to use samsung and there were a lot of things about it but there were also some bad things. the one thing i noticed when i went back to my iphone was it seemed like it was so last century. the bigger screen that samsung had was vivid. it looks like apple has taken care of that. the larger size screen going to be pretty important to a lot of people would get their news now on their phones. >> yeah, this was something that apple previously had insisted it wouldn't do. it said, you know, people don't want big screens, they want something that they can, you know, that fits in their hand easily. but then the market sort of proved them wrong. samsung's been selling a lot of bigger sized phones as have
windows phones manufacturers and things like that, so apple was sort of forced into this. i actually think the more interesting part of this is the apple pay wireless payments mechanism they started. >> i like that. >> that's really good. >> all right, kevin roose, thank you so much. it's not going to solve your problems. coming up, richard branson opens up his playbook up on leadership. >> he also will talk about why he believes pot should be legal. >> that too. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back.

yes, a safety video. it's not -- and in case of an emergency landing -- >> and the doors here and here -- >> that's a glimpse of virgin group. here with us now, the founder, sir richard branson. who's out with a book. "the virgin way." everything i know about leadership. so i'm reading the book and the things we expect to hear from you, which is, you know, you need to create a fun environment, there has to be passion. we expect to hear that from you too. but you talk about the dying art of listening. explain how that's been so important to the virgin way and building what you do. >> well, i believe that if you're running a company or running a department, i'll get out, i'll talk to the
passengers. i'll always get some kind of feedback. >> you strike me as a guy i'm going to take in a hot air balloon. but you actually stop, you get out the notepad and you listen. >> right, you know what americans have been like in the last -- detail is what makes for an exceptional restaurant, what makes for an exceptional airline. if i can be sure that, you know, if somebody's orders the kosher meal, they get that kosher meal. i can be sure the cabin crew are wearing shoes that are comfortable for them. all those little details. >> how much do you get out of talking to somebody on your airline saying, what worked for you what didn't work for you, and somebody handing you a focus group or a poll, right? >> yeah, i mean, it's -- i think
it's just got to be out there and about and living and breathing, you know, what you're doing. and you don't need -- you don't need focus. you don't have focus documents. you just need to be love what you do. >> how important is it in making decisions? >> think instinct based on 50 years of being an entrepreneur is essential. i do not ask to look at the figures before i launch a new company. if i feel i can go in there and improve people's lives. i will just say, let's do it and get on. that usually works, doesn't it? >> generally more money comes in than goes out. >> can you tell us, what do you
consider your biggest success? >> what decision did you make that seemed crazy at the time? >> well, i suspect, 30 years ago, from running a record company into starting an airline, everybody thought we were completely and utterly mad at the time. but, you know, airlines, you know, international airlines which is what we started abysmally run. we started with one plane. that end we moved on from there. i suspect that was the thing that put virgin on the map. >> what about what you learned along the way about leadership? >> i think the biggest lesson i learned is simply to look for
the best for people. if you praise people, if you look for the best in people, it's incredible how they'll flourish and if you're the kind of leader that jumps down their throats all the time, you know, you can demoralize a company very quickly. >> actually, i'm just feeding into t.j. being a terrible director. i'm very sorry. i see the greatness in you, t.j. how's that? is that good? >> what i find interesting about virgin group, it's actually not just the airline. you're going to space. you've got a telecomb industry. you've got a media industry. it's a sort of empire. how do you see an industry and decide, i'm going to disrupt it, i'm going to enter that one? >> often, out of frustration. they -- i mean, i was trying to get from puerto rico to the virgin airlines and was bumped.
i hired a plane. i was 26 years old. i wrote virgin airlines as a joke on it, went around to all the people with bumps and i filled my first plane. >> you didn't even have a bar in it. >> but it got us thinking, you know, people -- airlines do bump people. the very next day, rang up boeing and said, have you got any secondhand 747s? >> what's next for the industry? >> we've got -- we're about to build two very big cruise ships. we're going to do it, you know, we're going to try to attract people who would never dream of going on to cruise ships. >> you know you've got some customers on this side of the table. >> i'm not a cruise person. >> i think virgin build a cruise ship, people will expect us to do it. >> exactly, the virgin way. exactly. there are very few companies in the world, especially with companies getting bigger by gobbling up little companies. very few companies have a distinctive culture. virgin is one of those companies with a distinctive culture.
how hard is it to maintain that culture? it's not too hard. >> they're proud of the company they work for. they know that, you know, they know they've got to look after the consumer and enhance the brand. so we're building our first city hotel in chicago. the team know what's expected of them. they'll create, you know, a really unique special hotel. and that will help, you know, help the other virgin companies as a result. and one thing that -- you know, they're not going to rip up the consumer, which in a nutshell is what will damage the brand. we make sure that the consumer
has a good relationship with virgin. >> so obviously culture is everything. culture beats strategy every time. do you think you're creating a culture at virgin that survives your retirement? we won't say death, let's not be gruesome. >> i've got a pill -- >> oh, live forever, that's awesome, great. but do you think you're creating a culture that survives your leadership when you decide to move on? >> i believe so. i think steve cook is more embracing than steve jobs ever was and actually may be a better motivator of people. i think apple could be a happier company. steve jobs was brilliant.
i think what he's doing now is he's really embracing his employees and actually, you know, they're working together as a team really well. i don't think apple was absolutely perfect. it's a perfect -- >> it's a great way of saying steve jobs was a very difficult human being. thank you so much for being with us. >> still ahead, what do you get when you combine the head of one of the oldest and most influential organizations on the planet with an accomplished, two-time award-winning actress? that's an interesting riddle. the answer is something you will only see on "morning joe."

as the nation gears up for the address on isis, there are some groups voicing concerns about any military presence abroad. here with us now, judith light. she recently interviewed the executive secretary of the friends committee on national legislation who's advocating for peaceful measures overseas. we'll get to that in just a moment. we'll have your interview. first, let's say hello. because it's been a while. >> it's good to see you. >> you're really jumping into the fray here. >> not only that, but i haven't seen you guys i don't think since -- maybe i did other desert cities? >> it's been a couple of years. >> in new york? so it's been -- it's been a while. >> you need to come back more often. >> well, i'm in new york a lot. i mean, i'm here a lot. i'm actually here doing a lot of press on a campaign for high-dose vaccine, flu vaccine,
for people 65 and older. and i've got a new show coming up called transparent. have lots of things to talk to. >> you're not busy at all. >> my friend, my good buddy. >> i love judith light. when it comes to your work with the lgbt community, you're well known for that, and well awarded for it. but let's talk about what you're doing now. why do you want to bring attention to military operations overseas and to peace work? >> it's really an organization that a grebd friend of ours tha in the military introduced us to. he said, think this is a lobbying organization you guys will find very interesting and very powerful. during the civil right stuff and all of the hiv and aids, i learned that citizen advocacy and citizen democracy is one of the most important things we can all be looking into. he introduced us to this organization, the friends committee on national legislation. they are a lobbying, a quaker
lobbying organization on the hill. when we were there last thanksgiving time, which is when their national meeting is, whenever we went to anybody on the hill, they were saying how much fcnl had impacted on them and their decisions. they're not opposed to the military. they're talking about cutting military spending where the homeland is still safe and secure, but those funds can actually be used for other things that are very important for all of us. taking care of our veterans. things like that. it's not about saying, you know -- it's about peace building and diplomacy and citizens getting involved. >> so here's part of your interview with diane randal, the executive secretary of the friendy committee on national legislation. >> we're looking at these kinds of threats, this extremist behavior. it's important to ask the much deeper questions. what -- what do we get from bombing. and what are the alternatives. it is absolutely clear that we have to provide humanitarian
support to people in crises and we have to do everything we can do to prevent deadly conflict. that is definitely our interest. we don't believe we can withdraw. >> right. how do you get people in this country to respond differently? >> well, i think part of what we're doing, as you know, is we take a longer view as well. we try toed an very date for the kinds of peace building tools that the u.s. state department might use, that the u.s. agency on international development might use, that try to anticipate and prevent conflict before it happens. so fcnl has lobbied for those types of programs. and we've seen some support for them. our constituents throughout the country have lobbied for them. if policymakers know there are alternatives. i think most elected officials and most people in this country would choose the tools that prevent violence. >> obviously, most americans want to go. and have americans fight against
isis. is that a viable alternative? >> look. i mean, i think we have to wait to see what the president has to say tonight. i think that's really important. this is not about taking anything away from people's emotional reactions. we all have an emotional reaction. i have an emotional reaction. it's about finding other ways to talk about it. other things to do. and diplomacy is one of them. now when we have the election coming up so soon, i think everybody -- everybody, to a person in this country, should be talking to their people, to their congress people, to the people that represent them. they work for us. we should be talking to them. talking to them about what they're doing. getting engaged. asking them questions. seeing what else we can do in combination. it isn't an either/or. >> right. >> it's paradoxical, as we all know. >> you can watch the full interview at joe.msnbc.com. judith light, thank you very
much. >> good to see you guys. >> come back finally. >> yeah. up next, the stars were out for fashion rocks in brooklyn last night. lewis was there to catch all the action. that's next on "morning joe." when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves.

in our stores. i can even remember the music that played in my first store that opened up. >> oh, yeah, you're the dude from "morning joe." yes, i watched you. i think this guy is cool. you know, mika wear, my shoes. >> i know she does. >> she said it once on tv. i almost fell out of my bed. of course i'm in bed at that time of the day. but she is so beautiful. she is the most beautiful woman on tv. i'm going to get her some more shoes. >> mika, we're getting you shoes. i'm hooking you up. >> how about that? the most beautiful woman on tv. >> oh, please. >> right, we all know that. how sweet of him. >> that was very, very nice. >> and you do, you love his shoes. and he watches the show. how fun. >> my daughter wears him too. his shoes are comfortable. and they have rubber soles. >> wow, they're comfortable. >> up next, what did we learn today. i make a lot of purchases for my business.

[gunshots] >> a gunman storming parliament shooting a canadian soldier to death at the national war memorial. now canada's prime minister calling it an act of terror. >> the gunman, a canadian who recently converted to islam, had a history of trouble with the law so how
did he slip under the radar. doug luzader is in our capital city, washington, d.c. what else do we know about this guy? >> reporter: good morning. we know the basics of what happened yesterday, how this guy made his way from the national war memorial across the street to the parliament apparently firing shots in both places. we don't have all the information as far as motivation is concerned. for intelligence agencies, that is going to be key. was this an act of terror as identified already by the canadian prime minister? some of the dots are being connected by an article in toronto's globe and mail number indicating that the gunman, zihab-bibeau, had been identified as a high-risk traveler. he indicated to a friend that he wanted to travel with libya, according to this article. he had brushes with the law. when they took a close look at his family, they found his mother had been a top immigration official there in canada. analysts we have talked to
say this is very little doubt that there is a connection here to terrorism. >> in my opinion, this is no doubt this is an act of terrorism. i think this is more than an act of home-grown terrorism. i think this was a sophisticated al qaeda or islamic state plot to exploit a security vulnerability. >> one would imagine that security folks here in the nation's capital, in washington, were certainly on heightened alert yesterday, nothing specific beyond the fact that security was apparently ramped up around arlington national cemetery and that may have to do with the fact that this attack began at the national war memorial there in canada. >> thank you very much. remember back after 9/11 whenever we would get a lot of intel -- we should point out that apparently there was a lot of chatter about something that was going to happen in canada for the five days leading up to what happened yesterday. in the old days we used to raise the threat level here in this country. now when the federal government -- because that
is so bush era. when they want to let us know they were taking things seriously they increased the posture. and the f.b.i. made it clear yesterday, they asked all u.s. offices to raise the alert posture to keep an eye out. >> you wonder why we're changing the name in this if we ought to be paying more attention? what do you think your ears will perk up to more? posture or terror threat level? this of course as isis is continuing to urge lone wolf style attacks. if you're unable to make it to syria and fight for us, create as much death and destruction and push your anti-western culture message there in your own backyard. >> they recognize this guy. they said we're keeping your passport, we're going to keep an eye on you, but clearly they weren't keeping an eye on him. all these guys out there that could potentially be radicalized that the f.b.i. does such a great job identifying, i don't know if we have to find a way to track them to understand
when they start going into motion rather than after attacks saying yeah he was on our list. we took his passport away last week. what does this mean for us? what does this mean for canada from this day forward? chawrks -- charles krauthammer weighs in. >> the appeal is so much that it could spark attacks around the world without lifting a finger, wowtd -- without organizing, and that's the new face of terror. >> that's interesting because as charles krauthammer brings up, islamic terrorists, they're rat -- they're radicalized, and in these cases you have two guys who had their passports taken back because the country recognized them as a threat and they had a willingness
and looking to go overseas and be radicalized. and there seems to be such a reluctance to say islamic terrorists, almost hard to see frustration north of the border. >> there is no islamic terrorism when you've got a group called the islamic state out there beheading people, american citizens, british citizens and saying what they're doing, they're doing in the name of islam, when you've got a man born and raised in quebec, running down canadian soldiers and then calling 911 and saying he's doing it in the name of allah. or this man today gunning down a canadian soldier and attempting to gunning down politicians. he came close to gunning down politicians who were meeting in caucus rooms just off the hallway he ran down and he was linked to islam, linked to mosques that have questions raised about them. >> in the last 18 hours or so on twitter some outfit -- it is suggested that it's linked to isis --
put up a picture of the shooter, and they said this is the guy who did it. but while he has been identified as the person in the picture, the group behind the particular twitter account has not been verified, so it has not been published. what is curious is why canada? it wasn't that long ago where the prime minister of canada, stephen harper, said we're going to stand with the united states, we're going to stand up to isis and going to try to bomb them over this. >> is this punishment for joining the coalition with the united states? last week we saw images of the lawmakers on caucus day in their chamber barricaded with chairs pushed up against the doors. another thing is that the security in that building had been questioned in the past. there's a lot of tourists that visit the area frequently. but is this canada's 9/11? obviously not in scope with the destruction and the number of deaths, but just the psyche of the people there, is something going
to have to change? >> you think about the man that lost his life yesterday, seemed like a great guy. he was there unarmed, he was in the ceremonial position. >> the guy on the left. >> screen left, i should say if you're looking at it. this is an honor evidently, obviously to mark the monument, what we call the tomb of the unknown soldier, a tribute. the gun is not slowed. therefore, he was a -- the gun is not loaded. there was he was a victim. he could not fight back. >> the shooter got out of a purple toyota, shot the man right there, corporal cirillo. after he shot him, the shooter raised his arms with a shotgun above his head like in triumph. then he ran up the hill into the main building outside the caucus rooms and that's where he ran
into 58-year-old sergeant at arms kevin vickers, a long time police officer, a member of the mounties. he had a gun on him. he realized what was happening and he shot the guy dead according to a number on twitter. there he is on one of his ceremonial days. >> thank goodness he had the where wherewithall to grab his gun. he had been serving with the mounty police. thank goodness he got his gun. >> younger brother called the mom and said john is okay. he shot him. you could see the gunman being shot down by the 58-year-old sergeant of arms in the hall. amazing situation. >> sergeant at arms office is right down the hall, heard all the ruckus and
went running toward it. this is video taken by cell phone camera. that's when things went -- people started shooting. >> it wasn't just one or two shots that the terrorist did. people reported it sounding like dynamite and that there were so many shots fired the smell of gun prow der was prevelant around the block. >> we're just lucky that the sergeant at arms was there and he had a gun outside the caucus room because if the gunman had gone inside with all those people, you know -- we don't know what could have happened. so that makes the argument about guns. >> in canada where they have much stricter gun control laws. ten minutes after the hour. ainsley earhardt up from your show to help our show. >> that's so sad. you all were showing pictures of the dad who died. it doesn't change the fact that the kid will grow up
without his dad. here's what's happening this morning. another brutal terror attack. caught on camera. a terrorist plows into a group of people outside a train station in jerusalem killing a three-month-old american baby and injuring eight others. the 20-year-old driver was later shot and killed by police as he was trying to run away. another day another breach at the white house, a man caught on camera fighting off secret service dogs after jumping the fence. the unarmed man made it 20 yards across the north lawn before the secret service arrested him. that jumper has been identified. he is from maryland. his father told a local news reporter his son has a history of mental illness and suffers from paranoia believing he is always under surveillance. charges are now pending. three million more vehicles are at risk of having a faulty air bag that could explode but the government air bag where you can look up your vin bag to see if your car is

a fox news alert right now, the f.b.i. on high alert as fox confirms a spike in the isis related chatter leading to yesterday's rampage in the canadian parliament. we have a former policy advisor to the house homeland security committee and an expert in this area. joshua, what should we take from what happened yesterday? we can't say you're surprised if you're a canadian investigator because he was on their radar as a convert, they took his passport away but what was missing that would have stopped this attack? >> good morning, brian. there are a bunch of things here that i think the canadians maybe now this morning have learned, and that really is if you're going to take somebody's passport, you really have to lock them down with surveillance. there were probably a bunch of activities that the shooter participated in prior to the shooting that would have led investigators yesterday to really question him and to possibly stop this. we have to understand that this isis threat, whereas
they're trying to possibly travel overseas, if they are not allowed to travel overseas, they will just turn their anger inward and we really have to clamp down on that. >> what lights up his background for an expert like you? the fact that he's had two drug offenses, been arrested before, converted to islam? what about his background lights up as a consistency with others that would do similar acts? >> i think one of the most disturbing things that i've heard with this case, when i heard the oklahoma city case recently is that the local imam turned his back on his con gre gant and -- congr egant and said we kicked him out. what i would ask the muslim community is where is the personal action? if they identified him
being more radical, more weird in their words, they had a duty to report that, a duty to talk to the law enforcement in order to prevent something like this. we can't just turn our back anymore. >> tell me if you think this is significant. a week after britain says we'll join you in the coalition they behead one of their hostages. now canada said we'll help you out in iraq in some way, shape or form, we have two acts in three days. is this a pattern that shows command of isis that is essentially giving the go sign in various countries? >> i think the central word coming out of isis for months has been to attack the west. so these -- the canadian participation in our fight against isis is not really the motivator here, although it's going to help push people, the self-radicalized people offense the edge and have them sort of step up to the plate and carry out these
attacks. but these attacks, these lone wolf style attacks are here to stay. >> joshua, i'll tell you what we see. the canadian embassy is around the block, penn station ten blocks away. immediately within an hour all our guys are on the streets, the nypd and national guard. what should we learn from that here? people watching mostly in america are saying what does it mean to us going to work today? >> you just need to remain vigilant. we should not be afraid. we should just be observant. put your cell phone down for a little bit and watch your surroundings. >> joshua katz, thanks so much. ten minutes before the bottom of the hour. a whistle-blower goes public about what's going on inside the v.a. >> i think this is where v.a. really just expects the public to be stupid and believe the lies that they're telling. >> guess what happened just eight minutes after that interview right here on
fox? that whistle-blower here next with the sickening details. who needs 50 cents if you want a toy? just climb in and take it yourself. that's what this kid did. seems happy but somewhat glum. glum. snowe (receptionist) gunderman group. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome!

how are you feeling? hope you're doing well. quick headlines from the campaign trail. you know what this say. chuck norris doesn't sleep. he holds air hostage. or does chuck norris tell g.p.s. where to go? you get the point. this morning he's hoping he can tell voters where to go. norris stumping in texas for the republican hopeful greg abbott. abbott taking on wendy davis. errors in a chicago voting booth causing republicans to vote for democrats. candidate jim moynihan went
to vote for himself but instead the machine selected his democratic opponent. election owe officials took the machine off service blaming if on a calibration error. >> a whistle-blower goes public about what is going on inside the veterans administration. >> i think this is where the v.a. expects the public to be stupid and believe the lies they're telling. >> shortly after that interview with neil cavuto on fox, that v.a. whistle-blower was asked via e-mail to attend an administrative meeting to sign a notice that he wouldn't talk in public anymore. when he declined the v.a. told him mr. davis, with all due respect, the notification sent to you was not an invitation to which you can decline. what did they want him to sign and why the threatening note? that whistle-blower, scott davis, appears on television again. good morning to you. he's in atlanta. >> good morning, steve.
>> so it was eight minutes after you left the air with neil cavuto that you got the e-mail where they said you've got to come talk to you. what were they trying to do? >> shut me up and distract me from the fact that 47,000 veterans died while waiting it get their applications processed and 890,000 veteran applications for health care have never been processed by the department of veterans affairs. >> what you did was was you said because i back in january already filed for whistle-blower protection status, i don't have to come. what they were doing was they were saying because this is an open investigation and now you're part of it, you can't go blabbing to neil cavuto or steve doocy or anybody else what's going on at the v.a.? >> exactly. they freaked out because i was on fox news. what they tried to do was say mr. davis, we're going
to have an investigation and you have to participate in our investigation. unfortunately, this came after i had already spoke with the inspector general's office, after i had already contacted the white house. by the way, the white house with the blower complaint got leaked and after i testified in congress. now they're telling me you can't talk to people anymore because we're having an investigation. >> what do you mean somebody at the white house leaked your whistle-blower complaint to your supervisor? that's against the law. >> it is against the law. unfortunately no one will step up to the plate at v.a. or the white house and admit who gave the whistle-blower complaint to my manager here in atlanta. i as a united states citizen have the right to petition the government including the office of the president about violations and mistreatment of our nation's veterans. unfortunately, that complaint which was given to white house deputy chief
of staff rob nabors made its way back it atlanta where my neighbor was able -- to retaliate against me. they changed my job description, changed my hours of operation and reporting structure. i worked with veterans, participated in outreach activities and tried to promote health care awareness about v.a. health programs. so they went back and said you can't talk to anyone. you're not going to communicate anymore. just like they wanted to shut me up for talking to neil cavuto, they wanted to shut me up from being able to talk to veterans. >> you're here today. it hit the fan a couple of months ago. people think we haven't heard anything, they must be fixing it. you're here today. are they fixing it? >> they're not. thank you for asking the questions. i have brochures from where v.a. tried to promote the affordable care act. instead of educating the veterans about the problem and the backlog with the
pending applications, they're not doing anything, they're just going to send a letter. they spent over $10 million promoting the afoacial care act -- affordable care act and yet they will spend no dollars educating veterans about how to deal with the problems with the enrollment system and the on-line application problem if your application for health care ends up in a pending backlog. here's the shocking part. the man who is over this area of v.a., over health administrative services at the v.a. got a temporary promotion during this entire scandal. and you would think the president knowing about this issue, the secretary of v.a. knowing about this issue they would ask phillip mckowsky for his resignation instead of a temporary promotion. >> you would think. thank you for your service
and telling us what is going on. it is 6:30 here in new york city. a fox news alert coming up. a disturbing attack on canada's government shows new weaknesses in the fight against terror. a congressman back from iraq tells us what this terrorist group is capable of. remember those illegal immigrants released from jail because the government wanted to save money. we were told they didn't have criminal records. now we know the truth and it is disturbing. we let loot a lot of bad people. ♪ ♪ i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know.

[gunshots] >> a gunman recently converted to islam storming parliament shooting a
canadian soldier to death at the national war memorial. now canada's prime minister calling it an act of terror. investigators scrambling to determine if the gunman had ak connell polices. >> -- had accomplices. >> the sergeant at arms fired the fatal shot that killed the gunman. >> nathan cirillo, the victim, this believed to be the last picture of him seen on screen left taken moments before the shooting and posted on twitter. >> this attack comes three days after another canadian soldier was killed in a hit-and-run inspired apparently by isis. >> the question this morning, are we doing enough to defeat the militants and are we safe here at home? with us is representative adam kinzinger, an iraq war veteran himself. >> you just got back from irbil? >> i was there two weeks ago. i left in 2009 as a pilot
in the military. we had won. we were in mop-up operation. iraq was basically together with some difficulties. when i went back two weeks ago, it is a mess. sad to see. >> do you see a connection between there was a hit on, two terror attacks in canada in the last three days? >> it's being attributed to isis. a few weeks after canada signed on with us, a coalition to defeat them over this. over time we're going to find out was there a direct link in terms of discussions. no doubt these two hits in canada were inspired by the success of isis. what you have is these people bent to jihaddism that are seeing what's going on in the middle east and saying i want to be part of that. maybe they're lone wolves, inspired by other reasons but they are saying that is successful, i can have my place in eternity if i join them here. >> you don't have to
contact us, just do it on your own. >> and they have been very open about targeting law enforcement and also members of our armed services. what do we need to be doing here at home? >> force protection has to be a priority, getting on to military bases and ensuring the gate guards are protected and people aren't able to get inside the gates. same with police. be on the defense edge. >> you're still active, you're a target. law enforcement is a target. you land in kurdistan. you mention when you left in fien we won. you feel -- when you left in 2009 we won. now you think we lost. what is the fight like against these guys? >> the kurds need heavy weapons. you have kurdish fighters that are fighting heroically. the kurds are trying to fight with in essence pickup trucks. they have to be able to
match armor to armor force to force. we don't have concern with the peshmerga turning against us. we didn't lose a single soldier in iraq in that area except maybe a pilot that ejected. >> remember in the old days when we used to raise the threat level. now the f.b.i. instead is raising the alert posture to remind people that a bulletin went out reminding people of vigilance. >> it's probably the right thing to do but i think what i keep getting from this is you have an administration that's unwilling to call this what it is which is jihaddism, terrorism and a threat that's continued from frankly before 9/11 but that was really brought to our attention -- >> we're not fighting. it doesn't seem like we have a strategy. but you're a pilot. we're dropping arms and i thought this was great, to the kurdish fighters in syria. it went to isis and we confirmed that yesterday. what's your take? >> it's unfortunate. i'd find out basically who planned that and find out
why something like that happened. airdrops are imperfect and we understand the vast majority of those weapons went to kurdish fighters and they are supposedly doing a better job. this should have been happening a long time ago. >> the way we're getting our arms to the kurds is by going through baghdad and it is getting held up this because they don't want to empower the kurds anymore. what is the problem with that? do you think we ought to change that? >> we ought to look at it. our government is afraid of defending baghdad. there are concerns about the kurdish reason seceding from iraq. >> there is a concern of our administration. the kurds are fighting. they have a link border with isis they not only have to defend, we're asking them to go on offense. >> iraq is saying you're not doing enough for us america. we don't know what you're doing but it's not working and it's seven weeks in. >> i think we need to be bombing a lot more targets,
stiffening the spine of the military. we can win this thing but at the rate we're going now it's going to take quite a long time if we're successful. >> congressman, thanks for dropping by. it is now 21 minutes before the top of the hour. ainsleyainsley earhardt is with us. >> one of the country's most elite colleges caught up in a massive grading scandal. a report just released reveals thousands of university of north carolina students, many of them athletes, taking fake classes to boost their dpraidz. -- grades. this has been going on for theeft 18 years. the so-called scam classes never meet and only require one final paper. at least nine university employees have been fired or are under dis minimum -- dis minimum narry review. >> fund abortions or else. the state reclassifying abortion as a basic health service under the
affordable care act. churches are not exempt. california initially recognized religious exemptions but have since reversed course. >> a t-shirt company releasing a new video and we warn you it is vile. it features young girls cussing to raise awareness of gender inequality. the creator wanted to turn the princess in distress stereotype on its head. we warn you this video is quite disturbing. >> pretty. >> pretty >> what the [bleep]? i'm not the [bleep] in distress. >> i'm pretty powerful and ready for success. >> what is more offensive? a little girl saying [bleep] or the [bleep]? >> wow, that video already being pulled from youtube.

my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i talked to my doctor and i... i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it was important to me that chantix was a non-nicotine pill. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me
get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. 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. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can 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 am very proud. i love myself as a nonsmoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. this is a crazy story. remember back in the sequester time early 2013 and we heard i.c.e. was
going to release 2,200 illegals, but don't worry about them, they just had minor criminal records. as it turns out and even though jay carney said low-risk, noncriminal detainees, that simply was not true. they released a bunch of people with really bad records. >> "usa today" has come forward and said they're kidnappers, murderers, they're rapists. as if it wouldn't be bad enough even if there were petty crimes because these people end up on being frequent fliers, if you have one crime that leads to another, we talk about robberies, robberies gone wrong can lead to murders. but these guys we knew about. maybe we should instead of clearing out space in the jail for other murderers and rapists come in, we should have let them stay there. >> we were lied to. we were told these were petty criminals let out for crossing the wrong way or going through yellow lights, so now they're let out and we took their word on it that these people were not going to be a
threat to our society. now we find out almost a year later we were lied to. if you expect to build immigration reform, how do you expect to build trust across party lines when you can't get a straight answer from the white house to the i.c.e. to congress? >> i.c.e. released its statement the discretionary releases were of low levels. however those with significant criminal histories were by and large supreme court mandated releases. >> will the administration say today through josh earnest, i know canada will be the number one topic and should be, will they say we heard about this on news reports, that we were told something different, or will they say i didn't let you know this because we
would never let them out. it is a discrepancy between what we're told and what it actually is. >> >> meanwhile today in north carolina, probably in about ten minutes early voting starts. and so far they have found 154 ineligible voters. the question here is all these young people who were integrated into the system through president obama's dreamer act, apparently they have been tagged by the department of motor vehicles as legally present. and somehow wound up on the voting rolls. they can't vote. they know of 154 so far, but there are up to close to 10,000 names of people who can't vote. but it looks like they can in north carolina. >> in an all important battle ground state. 49 minute after the hour. coming up on "fox & friends," so many of you
e-mailed us yesterday bl-ut thie convicted cop killer who spoke at a graduation silenced for good. the cop's widow is here the cop's widow is here next to tell us hey matt, what's up?

get fire adapted now at fireadapted.org good morning. 53 minutes after the hour. earlier this week we told you about a florida mother who took a stand against toys r us, demanding they sell "breaking bad" action figures. the store's star created he
would burn his fellow mom action figure in protest. that didn't stop her, with more than 9,000 signatures on her petition. toys r us pulled the toys from their stores. that mother joins us now. good morning. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> are you feeling victorious today? >> i am. >> critics of this petition to get the toys pulled from the shelves would say you should have let the free market determine supply and demand. do you think this is a free market hard at work? >> no. it was a bad idea to have a doll that has fake drugs on it in a toy store. that's the bottom line. >> but clearly toys r us listens to the public's outcry and did what you think they should have done. >> and i'm very, if i can say,
proud of them, for making that right decision. >> doesn't appear bryan cranston, the show's star, who the doll was modeled after is in disagreement with you. in a lot of ways it seems like he's bag good sport. he says toys r us puts dolls on sabbatical. nicely played, florida mom. he's kind of going in jest with the whole thing. how do you feel like he's responding? >> i actually giggled when i saw that. actually both of his tweets. he's being very good natured about it and everything and i truly appreciate that. i don't feel like i'm being attacked or anything like that. i thought it was a very well-done response on both parts. >> to folks who would come to the support of toys r us say if you don't like that idea, don't take your kids on that aisle. do you like that argument?
>> no. just because it's a children's toy store. they base their values on children and doing the right thing and putting something that has fake, illegal drugs with it next to g.i. joe or mario brothers just morally isn't right. this has nothing to do with people taking their kids in there and buying that or anything. this has to do with the placement of that doll. >> yeah. you wouldn't have adult fantasy toys on a store at toys r us. it seems like they made the right call putting them on indefinite sabbatical. thanks for your time today. >> thank you very much. >> thanks for standing up for a lot of parents who agree with you. coming up on "fox & friends," can the united states learn a lesson from the hero who took down the shooter in canada? judge napolitano on the case and joins us at the top of the hour

could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.
hello. good morning, today is thursday, the october 23, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth. terror in canada. brand-new information this morning about the muslim convert who shot a canadian soldier dead, as we learn about the hero credited with taking him out and the lessons the united states could learn from him. caught on camera, another white house fence jumper. this time trying gets attacked by security dogs and security went up to them. who is he and how did he get over that nine-foot fence? sick em. sorry, boss, can't come to work today. >> cold and clammy.
>> believe it or not, that excuse actually works and there are many, many more just like them. why? because we want to tell you how things work on this thursday when mornings are always better with friends. we start this hour with a fox news alert. home-grown terror sets off chaos in canada's capitol city. >> the government is storming the parliament building shooting a canadian soldier to death first at the war memorial across the street. the prime anyone ster calling it terror. police scrambling to find any possible accomplice. >> the gunman, a canadian who converted to islam, had a history of trouble with the law. how did he slip under the radar?
doug luzader is live in washington. what else do we know about this guy? >> reporter: we're kind of moving beyond the basics of what happened with the shooting itself and trying to figure out the mystery behind the gunman. who is he? why did he do this? we've seen recent reports now from toronto's globe and mail newspaper that fill in some of the blanks. they say he was well-known to canadian officials, had a long rap sheet, a recent convert to islam. he was also on a traveler watch list. a friend of his apparently told the paper that he wanted to travel to libya. interestingly enough, his mother was a high level canadian immigration official. beyond that, we know there have been increased intelligence chatter overheard about possible isis attacks on canadian targets. now, another open question here as this investigation moves forward, is there a connection to another attack in canada just days ago in quebec where another canadian soldier was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by a man who was later shot and killed?
he was described as being inspired by isis. >> what we don't know is the actual operation. are the two cases from canada, the cadet case and the ottawa case, are they connected in is there a middle man between isis and these people or are they on their own? we don't know. >> reporter: we don't know that yet. but another factor to consider as intelligence officials go down all the possible avenues, canada recently agreed to join the united states in the air campaign against isis. back to you guys. >> all right. thank you. >> now we understand what happened in canada we certainly can relate to and feel for them and understand what they're going through, we wonder how we'll react as a country because we went on high alert. all you have to do is walk around a major city, especially around here, and you see fully armed national guard, nypd and special units out on major situations like grand central,
penn station. that's how we're reacting. are we continuing to raise the threat level in this country? have we gone to a new system. >> we apparently is gone to a new system. instead of calling it a threat level, we're calling it increasing the posture. what do you think will make americans stand up to isis and notice any signals of people in their community doing things, i don't think changing the posture is as good as changing the threat level. >> in addition, the f.b.i. asking all u.s. offices to raise the alert posture. norad is increasing the alert posture as well to be on the lookout. let's face it, is it a coincidence that just a couple of weeks ago, can did decided to join to join us in our fight against isis? congressman adam hencinger, on the couch with us, said no coincidence. listen. >> no doubt these two hits in canada were inspired by the success of isis.
what you have is these people bent to jihaddism, see what's going on in the middle east and say, i want to be part of that. maybe they're lone wolves, maybe they didn't have friends, maybe inspired by other reasons. but they say that's successful. i can have my play in eternity if i join them here. isis is open about hey f you know how to shoot a gun, shoot a gun. >> that's right. this morning we're learning more about the hero who took down the gunman. >> 58, kevin victor, sergeant at arms at the canadian parliament. he came there four years ago, credited with firing the fatal shot at the gunman and preventing what could have been a national catastrophe and lawmakers were in the eye of his target. >> let's bring in judge andrew napolitano. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what can we learn from this? it is a soft target, as many would say, because the security on that building is not as high as many would like. >> there is a number of things we can learn. the most principle of which is that oftentimes the hero comes
from among us, that the hero has to have the means by which to behave as a hero. this particular fellow is a retired royal canadian mounted olympics the roughly equivalent to our f.b.i he's licensed to carry a gun. he knows how to use it. thank god there was and had the gun. >> he was trained and up to act. >> correct. but if he had not been there or if he had not had that gun, gun control laws in canada are as day conian as they have been in washington, d.c. or chicago. the government thinks people should not be able to arm themselves. in my view that's the lesson. isis is a threat in many ways. this in some respect social security a very, very devious way because it's the loner. it's the lone wolf. we don't know if this person came from an organization or did this on his own. this person does not cause a big commotion. it's not an army march eag city. it's one guy getting out of a car and starting to shoot. what is the best deterrent to that? an armed citizenry.
people able to protect themselves. we have a second amendment in this country. they do not have the equivalent of that in canada. >> you were on this program a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about the guy, the ce oh, of the guy in oklahoma who there was a rampage there, there was a crazy guy with a gun, killing people. but the ceo stepped up. he had a gun, and he took him out. >> yes, because oklahoma is a state, unlike our home state of new jersey, where people who can demonstrate proficiency in carrying a gun can carry it in the public, in the workplace and home. again an instance where had that person not been there, it would have been a lot more bloodshed and more innocent loss of life. i can't tell the canadian parliament how to protect themselves. there may have been mechanisms in place that didn't work. i can say that the public should be able to protect itself. >> the guard who was shot in cold blood his gun was not loaded. >> correct. that's ceremony gun. and that is really, brian,
insane. insane for a cop or a soldier to carry a gun that doesn't work! that looks like a gun, but because there is no firing pin, it's useless as a gun! ext to him whong duck. could have shot back and stopped this character before he attacked the parliament. >> great point. >> true. i guess sometimes when they're doing drill, they don't want it to accidentally go off. that's one of the reasons why the gun is ceremonial. >> very difficult for that weapon to go off accidentally. >> i want to get your thought on this. what about surveillance, because can did did a good job pulling the two individual passports monday and wednesday, so they can't travel out to join isis. >> apparently this guy had interaction with the government a couple of weeks ago. it was some sort of immigration issue. it wasn't an issue involving any criminal activity.
again, i can't tell the canadian government how to do things, but they have yet to connect the dots and to establish profiles of people who might -- >> they got to track them. at least track them. >> i got a feeling a lot of people in canada are wake up saying, you know what? maybe we should do more. >> they should have the rye -- look, it's a natural human right, a right to self-defense. in this country, that country is manifest by you don't break the law, you can get a gun. they should have the same right in canada. they need more people like the hero we were just talking about. >> judge, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. if you're looking for ainsley earhart after the show, normally you would see her at a bar, but now we've asked her to stick around for our show to keep us up to date. >> here is what's happening in the headlines. he jumped the fence at the white

water bottles at officers. the official autopsy revealing brown was shot in the hand at close range, supporting officer wilson's claim of self-defense. take a close look at your screen. police say the man on the left looks a lot like eric frien, the accused cop killer who has been hiding in the woods since last month. they do look a lot alike. james tully says cops have stopped him more than 20 times on his way to work, asking him where he's going. tully says it's happening so frequently, as many as seven times in one day, that it's just becoming a routine part of his life. those are your headline. >> they say we all have a twin out there. but how unfortunate. >> i promise i'm not an accused cop killer. >> all right. thank you very much. 7:11 in new york. coming up, so many of you e-mailed us yesterday about this story. the convicted cop killer who was allowed to speak at a college commencement silenced for good. that police officer's widow is here next.

he murdered my husband with premeditation and malice so many years ago, yet he still has a voice. >> he does. now, the people of pennsylvania were outraged by him being allowed to do this. but there wasn't anything to stop it. so the other day the governor of pennsylvania signed a bill. tell us what it's called and what it's going to do. >> it's called the revictimmization 508 act. what will happen is if there are murderers or rapists in a want to try to speak out publicly, the survivors will be able to try to stop it. and by doing that, it will go before a judge and the judge will have the opportunity to say no. these murderers will not be able to speak publicly anymore. >> so going forward -- >> it's a great bill. >> sure. if this guy gets another invitation to go talk to some people, it would be taken before a judge and a judge would either say yes or no, right?
>> yes, that's correct. >> okay. >> and it's a step forward for survivors of crimes that have to endure the heartache over and over again. >> the aclu in pennsylvania sayç this: essentially any action by an inmate or former offender that could cause mental anguish could be banned by a judge. that can't pass constitutional muster under the first amendment. they say it's too broad, wouldn't stand up. what do you say to that? >> i think it will stand up, steve. and he's still able to have phone access. he's still able to talk to his family and have access to personal friends and spiritual advisors. he will not be able to publicly speak where he can harm and emotionally traumatize the faulkner family and i. so it will stand up. >> you know, his supporters say he's just a victim. he's a victim of a racist
judicial system. >> he's a callus murderer who has never admitted to this day what he has done -- he's never even -- he says it's not a crime. what did he was not a crime because he doesn't think it's a crime to murder a police officer. he's an evil, callus man and his voice needs to be taken away. >> with any luck, we won't hear much more from him. >> thank you. thank you so much. >> thank you very much for joining us. it is now 19 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, take classes and inflated grades at one of the country's top universities, all to help one specific group. which one? this morning we got details and they're stunning. you've seen these kinds of meltdowns in the movies. >> it's overtime right now and there is a penalty shot about to

really easily, from the time she was out of the womb. it was screaming and crying from day one. and for survival as a parent when she was one, two years old, you see those terrible twos coming through, just out of survival, i would say, you know what? take a deep breath, say no biggy and try this again. whether she was trying to eat by herself or get dressed by herself or those little things, those milestones that kids try and tackle on their own. and eventually i saw it started got really frustrated, because we have to be good role models and model good behavior for our children, i got really frustrated when the dog ran into the house and got the floors all muddy. my daughter looked at me and said, no biggy, mommy. and i thought, how great is that? she just turned the tables on me. >> kids can say the darnest things but it's nice when we learn from something they say, especially when we taught them. our viewers have been weighing in on parenting styles. one says i was guilty of enabling my kids, but quickly
learned it doesn't help them in the real world or in life. from early on, parents must teach children consequences and actions, how to swim and fish, how to clean and build, how to be good and loving to others. it comes down to basic morals and principles the world is lacking today. your response? >> i do agree that we do need to enforce consequences with our children. i do that with my daughter. like i said, it's combination of parenting styles. but sometimes learn the hard way and i do say that to my daughter. you're going to have to learn the hard way, because it is sink or swim. it's a tough world out there. we live in a digital world and our kids need to learn by doing and experiencing. >> okay. this next tweet came from a teacher. she says as a former educator, my toughest challenges were helicopter parents who wanted to fix all problems. they can really get in the way, huh? >> they can. like i just said, your kids have to learn on their own and by
familying. we all need to fail. i always tell my daughter, it's okay to make mistakes. that's how we all learn. grownups, kings and queen, teachers, we all make mistakes and have to learn on our own. that's how we're going to continue learning. we never stop learning. as parents, we're always jumping in and rescuing. how is your kid going to learn anything? how are they going to learn the consequence or failing or whatever it may be? the success that turns around from it. >> thank you so much. the book is "no biggy." appreciate your time today. >> thank you. coming up, they voted for a republican, but the computer slipped their vote to a republican. and have you ever used this excuse? >> the key to faking out the parent is the clammy hand. i'm a big believer in it. >> that worked in the movies d. it work in real life? the excuses you should never use next. ♪ ♪

this is believed to be the last picture of him, screen left there. it was taken by a tourist moments before the shooting. >> the attack comes two days after another muslim convert was involved in a hit and run that killed another canadian military member. >> what's going on over there and how far is isis extending its reach? >> joining us now is fox news terror analyst and author of "future jihad, terrorist strategies," walid pharis. you have new information on this 32-year-old who was ultimately shot after shooting the 24-year-old victim there at the national war memorial, how he was radicalized. what are you learning? >> the recent reports we're getting from canada, from canadian media and online sources is that on the one hand he made statements to his mother, his mother and father were divorced in 1999. he made statements using radical narrative that they have been
used indoctrinated by the jihaddists, al-qaeda or isis in this case. also another report citing an article in the washington times mentioned the possibility that his father went to libya actually and fought with the uprising against gadaffi. so these are two trails you are looking at at this point in time. radicalization may be older than what we think. >> why canada? >> why canada? canada is on the list of jihadi targets because number one, it is part of our alliance, nato. but more importantly, because it's part of the air campaign in iraq and in syria. that's not the first time canada is targeted. unfortunately, this is the first bloody time it was hit. but before that, there was a conspiracy to kill also politicians, including the prime minister. >> i believe it was on monday there was another guy from canada who apparently self-radicalized himself as
well. he ran down a couple of military members. one of those guys was killed in that particular incident. so that's the first of these two. do you see a connection other than people who coins dentsally -- coincidentally are in canada and trying to do something stupid for isis? >> no, it's not that coins dentsal because -- coincidental because they both targeted elements of the military. there is a standing order, standing instruction by isis for their supporters and sympathizers to hit the military. not just in canada, including the united states. >> how many more like him? for example, is it possible for law enforcement -- i'm not sure in canada, but here -- to see a guy like this, see him radicalized, understand he's a danger, take his passport, but not follow him. how important is it to following and tracking people we're suspicious of? >> very big problem and i begin o realize why. number one, the pool of individuals who are either
self-radicalizing or radicalizing and acting alone are two different things. it's very large. we're talking about hundreds if not thousands of people who follow the same process. now, those who decide to act, either to travel to the middle east or to act here, it's a much smaller pool. even that pool, very difficult to have 24/7 people following these individuals. >> to piggy back off of brian's question, what do local imams need to do in connection with local law enforcement? do they need to not turn a blind eye to people worshiping? >> some law enforcement here in canada think the imams can do a lot. they can. their message, their narrative. those with can do more would be moderates. we need to engage them. there are many people in the united states and canada who are against the jihaddists and are part of these communities. we have ignored them. instead we've partnered with islamist organization.
you know about that. we need to reverse that policy and work with the active moderates against the jihaddists. >> thank you very much for joining us, your expertise. >> thank you for having me. all right. ainsley, we have other news happening. >> thank you. errors in chicago voting booths are causing republicans to vote for democrats. republican state representative candidate moynahan went to vote for himself, but instead, the touch screen selected his democratic opponent. he did alert the election officials who say that they took the machine out of service. they blamed it on a calibration error and said that his votes are not going to count. it was touted as a weight loss miracle, drop pounds fast without a diet or exercise. but now the two leading researchers behind the green coffee bean extract say it was all bogus. even dr. oz bought into those benefits. the scientists who were paid to write the study now admitting that they cannot prove that it works. they're now pulling the publickished paper.

>> you won't be short baby-sitters once the baby comes. >> that's right. >> thanks so much. >> terrific. congratulations. >> thank you. >> good job. we look forward to seeing it on tv. coming up, remember all those illegal immigrants released from jail to save money? we were told they were low risk criminals. now we know the truth and it is quite disturbing. >> there could be trouble brewing inside the white house. the big three names that are rumored to be jumping ship. they are really tight with the president. who are they? we're going to tell what you we know as we roll on live from new york city and washington, d.c i'm an idaho potato farmer
and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal.
we're going to tell you what we know. >> again. remember those low risk illegal immigrants we released from jail in 2013 to save money? it turns out they weren't so low risk. the truth that we were not told that gets revealed this morning because mornings are better with friends. fox news alert, home grown terror sets off chaos in
canada's capitol city. >> a gunman shooting a soldier to death at the national war memorial. now canada's prime minister does not hesitate. he calls it an act of terror. >> the gunman, a canadian who converted to islam, had a history of trouble with the law. so how did he slip under the radar, or was he on the radar? doug luzader has been tracking this all morning and joins us. doug? >> reporter: good morning. those are the questions. we still don't know a whole lot about this guy. but a picture is beginning to emerge. he may fit with the scenario that counters terrorism officials here in this country have been talking about for some time. the idea of a home-grown terrorist who was inspired by a group overseas. here is what we know so far about him and a lot of this comes from toronto's globe and mail newspaper. they say there were signs that he was mentally unstable. a friend says he may have had
plans to travel to libya. he was apparently on a traveler watch list there at canada. his mother was a canadian immigration official. what we need to know is whether there was a connection to an outside group like isis, which has been talking about carrying out attacks in both canada and the united states. >> there has been an increase in chatter over the last week because of the fact that isis has made it clear, going back over several weeks, they want to attack military personnel and their families and they're calling for attacks in the homeland and also in canada. >> reporter: one thing the counterterrorism folks are definitely looking into is whether this connection between the parliament attack yesterday and a vehicle attack in quebec a few days ago when a man described as being inspired by isis struck and killed another canadian soldier. he was later shot and killed. security folks here have got to be taking a look today own procedures and protocols in
light of what happened yesterday in canada. we know security was ramped up at arlington national cemetery at the tomb of the unknown. that is probably due largely to the fact that the first scene of this attack yesterday was at that country's national war memorial. anna, steve and brian, back to you guys. >> doug, we thank you very much. also it was amped up at the canadian consulate, which is exactly one block from where we are sitting right here. that building, you can see there at 49th and 6th avenue. >> it looked like the green zone in baghdad a little yesterday with the national guardsmen and the nypd has their own special enforcement unit in times like this. meanwhile, when the-@ftlib britd their -- one of their men beheaded and prior to that they changed their threat level. when the canadians realized it was a lot of chatter about a possible terrorist attack, they raised their threat level. kind of interesting that this administration, i wasn't even cognizant, we don't raise our threat level anymore. >> we don't have one. we have a posture.
the f.b.i. has asked all u.s. offices to raise the alert posture because we don't do threat levels because that's what the bush administration did. that's so analog for this administration. the reason is because they're reminding people of the threats from isis given the fact that we've got that coalition and we're trying to take them out. also norad has gone ahead and they have increased the alert posture as a number of planes are being readied to respond. >> they wouldn't let him out of the country. but what did he do? he turned his anger inward. so that's something that can did needs to worry about, america needs to worry about, are these lone wolf attacks. we had walid phares on the program. >> the pool of individuals is either self readycallizing or acting alone.
they're two different things. it's very large. we're talking about hundreds if not thousands of people who follow the same process. now, those who decide to act, either to travel to the middle east or to act here, it's a much smaller pool. even that pool is very difficult to have 24/7 people following these individuals and there is a standing order, standing instruction by isis for their supporters and sympathizers around the world to hit the military not just in canada, including the united states as well. >> the times when we had to worry about the mohammed atta coming here are essentially over. it's the people that are here that get radicalized, maybe in this case here and there. think about it, remember the new jersey lacrosse player, the kid shot to death by a muslim extremist who wanted to get even for the death that he thought we were part of in iraq. remember what happened in oklahoma? that was a man that screamed islamic phrases after the murder of a co-worker. so again, you could say these
same attacks are happening here. we just don't seem to acknowledge it. >> and when you brought up the murder in oklahoma, remember, that was stopped by the ceo of that company who was packing heat. he had a gun. thankfully yesterday there was somebody there at the parliament who had a gun. i'm talk being the sergeant of arms, 58-year-old guy, kevin vickers. he shot the attacker just outside the caucus room. there he is right there. his son is a police officer. he was a mountie for years and canada is famous for gun control. but he had a gun because the other people -- there he is carrying that ceremonial item -- can did is famous for their gun control and the people outside had guns that weren't loaded. >> a strong reminder for many of our viewers, they're e-mailing us and hitting us up on social media saying stay away from our gun rights.
let us protect ourselves because of what we saw there from sergeant vickers. let's take a look at the fallen hero. screen left. quite possibly could be the last picture of him taken. many say he was a sitting duck. the gun that he was holding there, unloaded. just ceremonial. >> he was an animal lover, a father. he had a young son when he wasn't serving with the argyle highlanders with guard duty. he was also a personal trainer and he was a bouncer apparently and he, according to all reports i have read this morning out of canada, was a great guy. >> yeah. and we mentioned the sergeant at arms, kevin vickers, he's 58 years old. got a law enforcement background. but still, you would expect a navy seal to act like this. at 58 years old, when is the last time he shot a gun and took out an assailant. as a mountie, you wonder how
many times he really came up against this, regardless, the way he acted in the line of fire with split second decision in a crowded area full of people was unbelievable. >> people with no guns. >> right. thank goodness he did. the other thing that people talked about is the security at the parliament building is not what it should be. and will this event, these with events monday and wednesday and knowing that isis is targeting law enforcement and military and people associated with government, will this be their 9-11? will they start to ramp up security and have second thoughts about their gun rights as well? >> i'm sure they're thinking about it right now. it's 8 minutes after the top of the hour on this very busy thursday. ainsley has the headlines. >> another terrorist attack, this one in jerusalem. it was all caught on camera. hamas terrorist plows into a group of people outside a train station, injuring eight people and leaving a three-month-old american baby dead. the 20-year-old driver was later
shot and killed by police. another man tries to storm the white house, but not before the dogs got him. this morning we are learning brand-new details about this guy. he's 23. he's from maryland. made it across the north lawn, kicking two secret service dogs. those dogs, hurricane and jordan, taken to a vet and have been cleared for duty. he suffers from paranoia, believing he's always being watched. he's charged with three felonies. new reports this morning, three of president obama's top aides might be jumping ship. according to politico, dan pheiffer, communications director jen palmieri and ben rhodes, all eyeing an exit in the coming weeks. why? the white house chief of staff reportedly wants more consistency heading into the president's final two years in office. staffers who aren't all in should consider making their way out. don't understatement a kid who just wants a toy.
look at this video. he wanted a toy so badly, he climbed inside the claw machine and he got stuck. look at that face. 18-month-old climbed in when his grandmother looked away for a few seconds. the fire department did get him out and his plan worked, however. in the end, because he walked away with one of those toys as a souvenir. those are your headlines. >> he had plenty of toys to play with while he waited to get out. >> and it's cheaper than feeding the machine quarters. >> ted backs me up, he says he's never won at the claw game either. spent his whole childhood trying to win one stuffed animal. the claw doesn't hold. am i right, ted? i quoted you exactly. over $100. could have been in his college savings account. >> how how that would multiply. >> all right. coming up on this thursday, air bags exploding like ieds.
that's right. and the government's plan to warn you is not working. we're going to tell you what you need to know if you have one of these vehicles. and they may look cute, but their message anything but. >> should not be worried about the shape of my [ bleep ]. stop picking on how i look. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. i don't give a [ bleep ] >> where are their parents? what a feminist group is making these children say just to get attention for their causes. pathetic. >> the parents probably brought them to the audition before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k."
larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america. people who know me, to this day they say,tix. "i never thought you would quit." you know, i really didn't either but chantix helped me do it. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it gave me the power to overcome the urge to smoke. 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. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can 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'm a nonsmoker; that feels amazing. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
it is the second deadly assault on a canadian soldier this week. our lead story is this, that a gunman fired on ottawa's parliament yesterday. on monday in quebec, it was a hit and run attack, both incidents committed by muslim converts. should this serve as a wake-up call to canada and america and could the president's failure to recognize terror as terror put us at risk?
peter johnson, jr. joins us live. >> we need to take the wake-up call and say don't call back in five minutes. the president, unfortunately, and our friends out there this morning, has not recognized terror as terror, benghazi, fort hood, the little rock, 2009 massacre of our american soldiers here in american soil nolan and the beheading as you were talking about before. so the first step is recognition of the problem. we need to be strong and powerful enough to say yeah, there is a problem and we're going to contain it here in the united states. the second issue is how do we recruit? i say how do we recruit? i'm talk being three r's, recognize, recruit and repel. how does the president, how does the attorney general holder go into the muslim community in the united states and say, we need your help. how does he sit down with imams and sit down with moderate muslims in this country who i believe are the majority and say, we need your help. we need to you turn in people who are islamic terrorists.
>> isn't it just that simple? >> it is that simple. and it hasn't been done. it needs to be done by the f.b.i. and by the attorney general and by the president of the united states calling upon all americans of all faiths to say, we need to say if you know of someone that's going to do something badder you think they're going to do something bad to this country, turn them in. and then the third issue is repelling the threat here at home. you talked about this again this morning. do americans themselves have to repel the threat in terms of lawful hand gun owner, like alton nolan and we see the sergeant at arms. the canadian parliament that, is not a paramilitary or police role. that is a political role. sergeant in arms doesn't need to discipline members of parliament. so here we have this 58-year-old veteran of the mounties responding. >> he was the last line of defense. >> so f us to say, well, this is canada, we're protected.
they don't have enough guns, it can happen here and it can happen here again and it's happened here. but the problem is, we haven't recognized it and called it as such. so today the president needs to recognize this as terrorism. he didn't recognize it yesterday, although the canadian prime minister did, and the world did, they could see it on the fox news.com site or our television could say, what do you think it is? this is a radicalized islamic terrorist. >> as we're learning more about what happened yesterday in canada, apparently, according to people in the intel community, there was increased chatter about a day of reckoning in canada for five days leading up to the shooting yesterday. >> yeah. we'll talk about it more tomorrow, an actual terror advisory since they took the color coding out. we say the f.b.i. is on higher alert. who else is on higher alert? what does that mean to americans and what should american december to protect themselves? it begins with the president
recognizing terror and going into people of faith and saying, listen, give up the bad folks. give up the people who mean to do harm to americans and to others around the world. life is not going to win. we're not going to allow them to win. let's call it what it is. >> we don't raise the threat level. we increase our posture. >> i don't know what that means. >> nobody does. >> we'll prevail, but it will take some time. >> peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. coming up on this thursday, remember all those illegal immigrants released from jail to save money? we were told by the administration they were low risk criminals. right? now we know the truth. and it is shocking. coming up, we've heard about college athletes getting away with skipping class, but what we're about to tell you will put that to shame. ♪ ♪ i have a cold

this morning he's hoping to tell voters how to vote in texas. stumping for greg abbott who is facing wendy davis for governor i'm going to wrap it up there. we have very little time. remember the time of the sequester and the democrats said look, we got to do all this stuff because the republicans forced us to do it? we also heard that to save money, because of the sequester, they were going to release 2200 illegal aliens. for the most part, they had minor criminal records. now it turns out they weren't so minor. some of them were really, really bad people who should have stayed locked up. >> usa today is reporting they are murderers, rapists, violent robbers. does this make any sense at all to release them? these aren't petty crimes. they need to kick them out of the jails to make room. >> we were flat out lied to. don't worry about it, they're
low level. drug trafficking, homicide, if that doesn't bother you, then you're okay with this. listen to what isis is saying. the discretionary releases made by ice were of low level offenders. however, the releases involved individuals with more significant criminal histories were by and large dictated by special circumstances outside of the agency's control, including supreme court mandated releases. >> we're lock them up and doing what we can and other circumstances -- >> but don't tell us they're low level and don't relay to us if you know that you're not telling the truth. >> were you lying while you were on damage control or were you unaware and inept at your job? >> jay carney is one of the people on record there at the podium who said they were low risk, noncriminal detainees. that's not true. >> if you want to lay the ground work for immigration reform, shouldn't you start with honesty? often it's the hardest word. evidently it's harder when it comes to immigration.

comes to dealing with terrorist activity, that can did and the united states has to be entirely in sync. we have in the past. i'm confident we will continue to do so in the future. >> reporter: actually while the canadian prime minister described yesterday's incident and one on monday in which two soldiers were run over bay man in a car as act of terrorism, white house press secretary josh earnest said yesterday while the events were unfolding in ottawa, that it was too early to characterize them. harper, canadian prime minister, said the monday car attack was done by an isis-inspired recent convert to islam. one of the soldiers was killed. the attacker was shot by police. back to you. >> all right. wendell goler, we thank you very much. over the last week or so, we've been telling you about how the president of the united states has put himself out there this week with al sharpton and previousy where essentially he has said look, i'm not on the ballot, but my policies are, which the democrats running in red states really don't want to
hear. then he said to al sharpton that essentially, these guys, they're trying to distance themselves from me. but that's what they have to do to get reelected. in fact, i told them, do whatever you have to do to get relie detectorred. >> breitbart has a story out from an unnamed operative who says this, quote: the ineptitude of the white house political operation sunk from annoying to embarrassing. think about some of the things that have also happened. listen, i know being on the stump -- and endorsing somebody you barely know is a challenge, but the first lady certainly embarrassed somebody in the fight of his life in iowa. >> oh, yeah. you remember this, we saw the bailey being spoken over and over and over again by first lady of the united states, michelle obama, instead of brayly, bruce brayly. she wasn't corrected until she was about to say the web site and they corrected her. >> she said it repeatedly. and then the white house press shop sent out an e-mail and it was talking about mr. brayly, that's good, rather than
mr. bailey. but it said he was running for governor. he's running for u.s. senate. and then i believe in the middle of the night, then they issued a correction a couple hours later and said he's running for senate and his name is brayly. >> look at the iowa senate poll and how close it is and why it really matters. you have joany ernest at 48% and bruce brayly. i've seen this in a dead heat in other polls. >> of course, the poll numbers that we see from the president are at an all-time low. and so wouldn't you -- when you see the democrats distancing themselves, it's probably because of the low approval numbers. yesterday a column said it's all the lousy things the president is doing right now. >> josh earnest said day before yesterday, if they lose, you can't blame the white house. the news this morning is and ainsley brought it to us a little while ago, three big
names at the white house, dan pheiffer and jennifer palmieri, two people in the communication shop may be leaving. and ben rhodes, who helps the president with speeches, he may be leaving as well. if that's true, maybe they're thinking, okay. couple of tuesdays from now we're going to lose and some heads are going to have to roll. those are handy. >> remember with president bush, he said you got to fire me. gout to make some changes. he went ahead and did it and they said, whoever is not going to stay for the next two years, tell us now. if you're going to stay, stick it out. they brought in gates, donald rumsfeld had to go and they came in with the surge. >> or in this case it could be they need to blame somebody and they would be three handy people. >> right. meanwhile, ainsley earhart is here. your final update of the day. >> yeah. the show is almost over. flew by. breaking details about the air bags exploding. the recall list grew to

worse yesterday, obviously as we were watching everything that went on in ottawa and with that, we did see obviously heightened alert, worries on wall street. back to you. >> all right. nicole petallides where it looks like she's the only person working. >> i know. >> you see there is people. there is people. hey, you want to know the jobless claims numbers? i'll give you those quickly. 283,000 in the last week filed for claims. slightly more than the economists expected. it is the fewest in 14 years. it shows the job market is going in the right direction. the fed is still watching the job numbers and we'll see what the fed does next year. in the meantime now, you do have some good jobless claims numbers. so they remain under that 300,000 mark and that obviously is -- apple hit 104 bucks. today we'll watch gm, yelp and at & t. >> you walked so long, did you pull a muscle? you probably went three miles with us today. >> maybe. i need more exercise.

>> the scandal at the v.a. where all sorts of things have happened to veterans who can't get proper care and they've been fudging the numbers and all sorts of things and there has been allegations people died waiting to get care. well, back in january, there is a v.a. whistle blower who works in georgia, scott davis. he officially became a whistle blower and asked for protection with the government. then it hit the fan regarding the larger v.a. scandal. in september he wound up going on the neil cavuto show to talk about the bad stuff that he had
seen. and within eight minutes, he heard from the front office. >> he hears from hr. the e-mail said mr. davis with all due respect, the notification sent to you and to your representative to appear before the administrative investigation board was not an invitation to which you can decline. >> right. so what happened was, somebody from his office reached out and said, hey, you're on tv. you got to come to a meeting. we're going to talk to you. he goes, what? i've already gotten whistle blower protection from the government. i can't be part of that. and then they sent that e-mail that said, look, it's not an invitation. you got to come. what was the government trying to do to him? the v.a., and he says the white house as well? very clear, he thinks they're trying to shut him up. >> trying to shut me up and trying to silence me from discussing the fact that 47,000 veterans died while waiting to get their health care applications processed and that
890,000 veteran applications for health care have never been processed by the department of veterans affairs. what they tried to do is say, well, mr. davis, we're going to have an investigation. you have to participate in our investigation. unfortunately, this came after i had already spoke with the inspector general's office, after i had already contacted the white house. by the way, that white house whistle blower complaint got leaked to my supervisor. and after i took the fight before congress. so i've testified before congress and public and now they're telling me, you can't talk to people anymore because we're having an investigation. i as a united states citizen have the right to petition the government. >> he was very well-spoken. we understand and sympathize with his views. this is blowing up on our facebook. alice writes, scott davis sure a real hero. thank you for speaking up. >> ray tweets, this only shows the depth of corruption within the v.a. and we trust our nation's health care to the government? are we crazy?

this is "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. >> good evening. another american has been brutally murdered by isis thugs. the awful news of the beheading of aid worker peter kassig came in a graphic isis video released earlier today. we won't show you even a frame on this broadcast, but we can tell you like all of the others, it demonstrates the sheer lethalness of the group. this is over a year after he was taken prison. tonight from the president on down, there are expressions of condemnation and from his family, the hope their son will be remembered for the good he was trying to do. richard engel reports tonight from turkey. richard? >> reporter: good evening, lester. unfortunately this very graphic 16 minute video has been authenticated, making-the fifth western hostage executed by isis since august, and the third american. peter kassig made it his life's
work to help others but paid for that selflessness with his own life. today the president called it an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associated with inhumanity. the army ranger from indiana traveling to iraq last year to volunteer as a medic. while delivering supplies, isis stopped him at a check point and kidnapped. he changed his name to abdul rahman, and his cell mates were taken one by one to be murdered. he knew his time would come. his father read a letter from his son. >> don't worry, dad, if i go down, i won't be thinking anything that i know it be true, that you and mom love me more than the moon and the stars.
>> kassig shared an audio recording of him before he was taken captive. >> i was able to share a little bit of hope and comfort for people. >> in a statement today the family asked for privacy and for the media not to show its murder, to deny the group what it wants, to terrorize. >> they've been forced to go out there and make appeals to isis leaders to free their lover lov ones. all of these have fallen on deaf ears. >> isis has proven time and time again its brutality. now this war shows no sign of ending soon. >> unlike other isis put out of hostages, this did not end with a threat to kill another host e hostage.
they are just splim running out of -- simply running out of hostages left to kill. this latest act of terrorism finds the president and leading officials are considering this. >> in a statement from the air force one the president said isis is bent on death and destruction. but the question for the strategy to defeat isis is working. >> in australia today, before learning of kassig's death, president obama said there are circumstances where the u.s. might need to send ground troops to fight isis. offering this doom's day scenario. >> if we discover that isil has gotten possession of a nuclear weapon and we had to run an operation to get it out of their hands, then, yes, i would order it. >> the remarks appear to show a slight change from his position two months ago. >> i will not commit you and the
rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. >> reporter: in washington last week, top u.s. general martin dempsey said he was open to using american ground troops to support iraqi security forces. >> i'm not predicting at this point that i would recommend that those forces in mosul but we'll consider it. >> dempsey said the tide is starting to turn in the battle against isil but acknowledged it will take years. the air strike is not a top force, but instead a bunch of midget running around with radical ideology. >> i think the american people feel it would be a serious mistake to make a commitment of land troops into the theaters. >> but the president's critics say it shouldn't be off the table. >> i think the president is wrong is saying that under no circumstances will he consider ground troops.
>> this month the president authorized doubling the number of troops in iraq to 3000, assigned to train and advise iraqi and kurdish forces. 900 airstrikes have slowed isis. >> airstrikes alone are not enough. you neat people on the ground -- need people on the ground to hold the campaign. >> and the people on the ground say the militia have infiltrated the iraqi military and proving how difficult it would be to depend on the iraqi army to fight isis. >> thank you. the area around houston, texas is back to normal after a chemical leak left four dead and released a cloud of gas. >> reporter: tonight a investigation no a deadly chemical leak is under way. it happened on saturday at this

accidents at dupont facilities, including fatal ones in belle, west virginia and one in new york. >> one accident like this are one too much and that is why there are strict regulations on the books regulating methyl mercaptan and other chemicals used at this plant. are the regulations strict enough, were they enforced? how did the company respond to the regulation. >> they now have a team in texas to answer those questions and find out what went wrong. gabe guiterrez. the latest doctor arriving with ebola is in extremely critical. he may be the sickest person yet to be treated here. our report tonight from hallie jackson. >> reporter: medical workers carefully moved dr. martin salia

on a refrigerator. and the consequences can be serious. according to the study, some of the major effects of the energy drink exposure included cardiovascular events and neurological events, including seizures. we asked for comment and they say the poison control centers research have not added up. children under 12 have virtually no caffeine consumption from energy drinks but their organization which represents most of the energy drink companies in the u.s., agreed to voluntarily guidelines early in the year. they include labelling the drinks as not intended or recommended for children, no marketing to children under 12 and no energy drinks in schools. but again, news labels are voluntary. still today's report is a reminder to adults to keep track of their energy drinks and make sure they are not in places where children, especially small children, can get them.

is helping. >> gps collars have enabled us to better handle the bear situation, to help us achieve our ultimate goal which is keeping yosemite bears wild. >> for campers it is extra comfort so they can be close to nature, just not too close. joe fryer, nbc news, yosemite national park. that is "nbc nightly news" for this sunday. brian williams will be here tomorrow. up next, football night in america followed by the patriots versus the colts. i'm lester holt reporting from new york, for all of us here at nbc news, good night.

new york. you're looking at the driver right there that he would eventually hit, ken ward jr. he would strike him at about 35 miles an hour. ward would flip up in the air about 50 feet and unbelievably he would die. >> pronounced dead, kevin ward jr. was 20 years old. you see the initial car go by him and investigations are continuing and the county sherrif said there's no criminal -- nothing pointing at this point to criminal charges, that this investigation will go on. >> in all black in a nighttime race. the question is could tony stewart have avoided him. >> sort of a split decision. friends of ward saying it was intentional. friends of stewart said of course not. we spoke to friends of stewart yesterday who said stewart was planning on racing nascar after the death. a very, very odd decision. immediate uproar, outcry
over this. they changed their mind, his team and they issued a statement more contrite than the first. >> known for aggression, known for intensity, certainly catastrophic and devastating to hear this news. investigations are going on as of now. you see that first car swerve out of the way, it does bring in a ton of question as to could it have been avoided and should more have been done. this is the ontario county sherrif on how this could have happened and what's going to happen next. >> at this very moment there is no -- there are no facts in hand that would substantiate or support criminal charge or indicate criminal intent on the part of any individual. there are no foregone conclusions made at this point. we're looking for any information, any relevant evidence that will help us to come to a final determination as to why this happened. >> interesting. >> we're going to talk to two people who were at the
scene when this tragedy took place. joining us is michael logan. tell us what you saw. >> well, it was the a main feature halfway through the face, and tony stewart and kevin ward jr. were basically racing for position. as they entered turn 2 they were basically going for the same line, same spot on the racetrack. that are cars appeared as if they got tangled. kevin's vehicle got stuck stewart's vehicle was able to continue on. the track dropped the yellow flag obviously for the accident, there being a caution which all the cars on the track slowed down but were still going at a pretty good clip. at that point i saw kevin ward jr. start -- or begin to exit his vehicle and start to make his way down the track.
and he think i mentioned to my son at the time, you don't really think he's going down to confront tony stewart do you, because this is something you sometimes see in auto racing. at that time i looked down to the track to see where tony stewart's car was, obviously knowing he was near kevin at the time of the accident. and picked up tony's car and kind of just in turn 1 visualized them getting closer together. as tony's vehicle got closer to kevin, he sped up -- >> wait a second. you say as kevin's vehicle got closer to kevin, he sped up? >> correct. >> you're confirming there is that sound of acceleration that some people speculated was indeed an increase of speed; michael? >> yeah, it was an increase of speed. when i looked to the point where kevin was walking and tony stewart's vehicle
would intersect, basically what i saw was tony stewart's vehicle go by and kevin wasn't there anymore. and he was gone. and i didn't really know what had happened. and so my assumption on the speed-up was basically tony stewart, you know, sped up to avoid an altercation on the track. >> logan, do you feel the same way? do you think this was an accident? do you think it could have been avoided? we've all been in cars, been in semi-aggressive situations on the road. this is a race. what is your instinct? >> tony stewart is professional at what he does. no one wants to intentionally hit another driver. a lot of people, a lot of drivers out there, people that race these cars say he may not have seen him. it could have happened so fast. it was dark. he was wearing an all black fire suit with a black helmet. it was dark out there. the lighting wasn't -- you
know, it's a local track so the lighting is nothing like a big-scale race. the lighting wasn't all that great. i just think it is a simple accident. not simple obviously, but just an accident. no intent on tony's part to do that on purpose. >> right now we have investigators questioning him. here's the question: michael, do you go to a lot of race sns >> we maybe attend three to five a year. >> have you ever seen someone get out of a car on a track? we've seen it in pit row before and tony stewart did in 2012 did himself. he showed his temper. that's part of who he is. have you ever seen it done on the track in the middle of a race? >> certainly under caution conditions. you don't see it very often. obviously the racetracks and the track in ontario, they are high on safety, it is not something you see all that often.
drivers are instructed to remain in their cars in an accident. but you see it from time to time. these are athletes. they are in competitive situations. they're looking to win or at least do as well as they can. when they feel as if they have been denied that opportunity, their emotions can get the best of them. that's not unusual. but you don't necessarily see it that often. >> thanks so much for sharing your story. there is a big call out for anyone at the race that has any video. please help out the investigators to find out what's going on. we've got another fox news alert. overnight the u.s. launching five more airstrikes. this as iraqi prime minister maliki refuses to step down amid the country's worsening political crisis. not exactly clear what's going on in iraq right now but serious developments. doug luzader is live in washington with details. >> reporter: this latest report this morning that the u.s. is going to begin
sending arms directly to the kurds because the reality is they may represent the single best hope to take on this terrorist army, isis. that combined with this fresh round of airstrikes is the idea at least that's been supported by many republicans. >> i would be rushing equipment to irbil. i would be launching airstrikes against isis. they have to race to boundaries -- they have erased boundaries between iraq and siege. i would be providing as much training equipment as i can to the kurds. i would do a lot of things that we cannot have to wait for maliki to leave. >> and speaking of maliki, he sits in the middle of a huge drama playing out in baghdad refusing to step down. he may mount a legal challenge to remain as prime minister. the u.s. is trusting him
less and less these days. and it certainly complicates the president's selling his iraq strategy even to democrats. >> the bottom line is this, there is so much we can do to help the iraqis help themselves but ultimately they have to save their own country. >> as far as arming the kurds, again, this is breaking news this morning, we don't know what form those arms are going to be in. remember, they're going up against isis fighters that have stolen their arms from the iraqi military. they are very, very well provisioned. back to you guys. >> they were able to take two towns back since we were able to give them arm and a little bit of air coverage. >> has there ever been a more predictable series of events? the united states pulls out of iraq and the country collapses. couldn't you have predicted this? of course. >> nobody wanted to hear about it. everybody said we're tired of iraq. even republicans and democrats. let's just leave.
the surge worked. they needed residual force. no one wanted to talk about it anywhere. but the bottom line is the president's on the record going on both sides of this issue telling mitt romney i wasn't going to leave troops bogged down there, saying on saturday it wasn't my decision to not leave troops. but he made no effort to work with al-maliki or break the deadlock with al-awlaki to get something done. he never picked up the phone until it was october to say we'll leave with the agreement i was left with. >> the phone is seemingly used here in the united states as some would say but not with foreign affairs as it should be. telegraphing to some that he would not not take action, telegraphing inaction, as said, did he underestimate? is he the underestimater in chief?
>> he underestimated isis, underestimated libya. he underestimated putin. he underestimated in several other areas. he's been commander in chief or the underestimater in chief. we can't afford the president to underestimate this colette. >> we heard people say bush is too distant. he's a micro manager. this guy is not even present. time and time again whether it is the i.r.s. scandal, whether it is obamacare, all of foreign policy, he's comploatly surprised by -- he's completely surprised by developments. >> if you read casey's book, they say president bush was on the phone with car -- with karzai and al-maliki. he had al-maliki doing things he didn't think he was capable of. here's the key. it is not sunni against shia against kurds. the sunni are angry at the
shia and the kurds want to be left alone. but isis is different. isis is a threat to us. islamic extremists look at america as the problem and look at america as a chance to establish themselves like al qaeda did by hitting us. >> they have a huge target. they have a lot of money behind them. we're talking at least million of dollars. >> billions. >> billions perhaps, brian, as you stated, behind their mission here. if we're not careful and do not act properly, they are on their way here. listen to colonel ralph peters and senator lindsey graham. >> the most addictive substance on earth is human blood. the islamic state is addicted to human blood. even the nazis didn't film public beheadings. this is something they didn't do. we are doing virtually nothing to stop it. this is a threat to
america, a threat to the world. it is beyond islamists, it is a death call. >> since bin laden has died there are more terrorist organizations with more safe havens with more money, more weapons and more capabilities to attack the homeland than there was before 9/11. mr. president, if you don't adjust your strategy, these people are coming here. >> it's the one element missing from the president's address. it's not so much i don't want to go back into iraq. i think what he should be saying to the people of the united states is isis is different. their goal is to dominate the region, blow away israel at the same time attack us. they have shown their capability. they show their ruthlessness. they are crucifying people and burying them alive. they kidnapped 200 women and started spreading them out. we know how to defeat them. we defeated them before. they need to be stopped. separate from iraq's problems. isis is separate.
the problem, but they are not the major issue. al-maliki going in or out does not affect isis. >> they are certainly not contained. they are a mission that includes a method of mass killings. >> rest easy from his command center on martha's vineyard, the president is playing a mean round of golf tonight. >> fund-raiser tonight. back to the oval office on the 17th. >> not surprising to see that on his schedule for the week. heather nauert is here. >> i've got a story out of missouri and it started as an evening of peaceful prayer vigil and turned into violent protests exploding after an unarmed teenager shot by police over the weekend. hundreds of protesters
looting stores and stealing from a.t.m.'s in a st. louis suburb. they grab items from a shoe store and run out of the smashed windows. the storefront destroyed. one of the protesters set a convenience store on fire near a gas station. police in riot gear on the streets trying their best to control the situation. at least 32 people were arrested. a desperate search underway off the coast of hawaii for a sailboat that was caught in hurricane julio. you can see that boat. it is a 42-foot boat, three people on board. it sent out a distress signal. it was about 400 miles off the coast. a plane was able to reach it but 30 foot waves prevented a rescue of the crew. a 660-foot container ship is in route to try to help out. >> a day at six flags turns into a nightmare when a roller coaster rider gets stuck. they are tilted on the side for about five hours. two dozen passengers were
stranded 75 feet in the air in the hot sun at a theme park just outside of washington, d.c. in maryland. fire fighters eventually rescuing them one by one. look at that right there. >> we are strapping the individuals one car at a time, we are strapping the individuals into place and then we're going to manually release the car's restraint. >> we still don't know what caused that ride to stop but the ride called joker's jinx they say will stay close until the park completes a full investigation. the emotional teen drama the fault in our stars winning big. >> the biggest challenge was ensuring we brought as much truth to the table as possible because the script is so beautifully written because it's based on a perfect novel. >> that movie picked up several awards including best actor, best on screen chemistry. did you know they have that category, best on screen chemistry? hunter games also a big

very considered very considerate. >> what about joe biden? >> when he goes to wilmington insists on have the military aide at least a mile behind him. he doesn't want to look like he's ostentatious. that means if obama were taken out or couldn't perform we would be defenseless. >> he's also got this habit. >> i'm glad someone is at least thinking about the neighbors, though. i'm serious. i live in washington. the secret service shut down streets. good for biden for being considerate, i think. >> he's got a naked issue. >> biden has this habit of skinny-dipping at his pool in wilmington and at the vice president's residence and it offends female secret service agents. it sounds funny but it makes them very
uncomfortable. celebrity with the president. bradley cooper got access to the white house snowe >> when bradley cooper showed up in his s.u.v. at the white house correspondents dinner and obama was about to speak at the washington hilton a high ranking secret service official ordered the agents on the ground to let him into the secure area where only secret service cars are allowed and even they have to be screened for explosives. >> he drove his s.u.v. there and someone could havent dued explosives. -- could have introduced the comploa selves. you could imagine the agents on the ground. >> according to the obama administration, bradley cooper is equivalent to a head of state? >> better. >> more famous.
>> a personal favor for bradley cooper. it is typical for secret service corner cutting. >> overall you have tremendous respect for the secret service who have committed to giving their lives, taking a bullet for somebody. that is part of their job description? >> the agents themselves are brave and dedicated and will take a bullet for the president. but it is the management cutting corners. you saw what happened with the prostitution scandal which i broke. you saw the salahis intruding at a state dinner. these are obvious symptoms of a problem. but behind the scenes it is in the book first family detail. >> ronald kessler is the author. another great book. >> meanwhile three minutes before the bottom of the hour. a man finds a car in flames but instead of running away this hero runs for it. we'll give you details.

after? >> absolutely before. it's very possible, the employers we see that are effectively managing health care costs are sin -- chronized and have an idea for what it will cost prior. the c.a.t. scans in new york city will be billed between $2,200 and $2,500. the actual cost is to deliver that service might be $200 to $300. you have this enormous delta between what is charged and what it costs. >> do i get my h.r. department to fight for me or do i say you've got to get that price down or am i better off doing it before i go in there? >> definitely better off before you go in there. the employer is betting off setting off the limit they will reimburse providers for in advance. we have a client in indiana, a public entity
that put limit in their plan document, communicated this to the workforce and had a tremendous impact on their overall spent. they reduced their health care spend by 55% one year, largely by these steps. >> the second tip is look up the actual cost. you also say if possible avoid going fot e.r. -- to the e.r. >> stay out of the e.r. altogether. >> unless you're bleeding or something is broken. >> there are good sites, america hospital directory.com, ahd.com will give you the published cost, what it costs a medical provider to deliver the service as opposed to what they charge for the service. that is critical information for an employer or employee to have in any negotiation. >> on the urgent care. these urgent cares are stepping up. you can go in any time without an appointment and get looked at. are they cost effective?

his assistant res going to take a look at to see if it makes sense. >> i mean, there's no question that the bullet destroyed jim brady's life and it hastened his death. it doesn't seem crazy to call it homicide. what would stop a prosecutor from bringing charges? >> there are some factual problems that it has been 33 years. there's got to be a demonstration that the bullet wounds were the proximate cause and there is a question of whether it's the bullet wounds or his age. there are questions about, you know, can you legally bring it? i mean, he has been through one trial. the constitution only gives the government one crack at it, so you have to make sure that there's not double jeopardy issue. and there is the emotional part of it. do you want to put your community through this? mr. hinckley has effectively
been segregated from the community since 1982. so there's the punishment aspect. all these things go into the prosecutor's -- for what it's considered to bring the case. >> from what i can tell, he has passes to leave the psychiatric facility and he has for years. my impression is he spends an awful lot of time outside any supervision. do you think that's right? >> it is right. he has been around. if more people recognized him, you'd probably see him on the streets. but keep in mind, he was found not guilty by reason of instanty, he is being treated. freedom is all ri relative. i don't think any of us want to be under that kind of control. he really hasn't, for the last 33 years, had control of his life the way he wants to. anything he wants to do, he has to get permission for. >> well, when you shoot a president there are strings attached. >> i'm sorry?
>> when you shoot a president, there are strings stachd. >> absolutely there's strings attached. he measure the punishment. he has not had the life that most u.s. citizens are used to. and i think it's just one of those things that any government agency, the prosecutor has to look at in determining whether to go forward with charges. >> interesting. we'll be following. thanks for coming on this morning. >> glad to be here. thank you. coming up, a fox news alert followed from the terror on the track when racing legend tony stewart's sprint car hit and killed another driver. we'll hear from two witnesses who are there. they watched the whole things happened before their eyes. they'll tell us what they saw. >> and then why in the world is elisabeth hasselbeck dumping ice cold water on herself. wow. stay tuned for that answer.

tragedy. also developing this morning, the u.s. launching another round of air strikes on isis in iraq. the terror group, why are we now just taking action? a former cia operative says the white house knew about this a long time ago. >> we've been warning military and intelligence personnel have been warning since easily last year. >> those are the dire warnings. the president's response? golf
well, what i love about our setup out there, lucky strike has come down here to tell us about national bowling day. you have arms go over the bottom and set up the pins manually, and they have these little tracks where the ball rolls back. >> and that's how it used to be. >> that's why with ralph cramdon, i didn't want to knock too many down because people would have tout put them back up again. >> so tucker is in for the steve. >> great to see you. >> nice to have you back in the saddle again. let me tell you what is coming up. there is so much flus breaking right now. the u.s. launching five more air strikes, taking out key isis positions. you're looking at some of them now. this is we are now providing arms to kurdish fighters battling the militants to happen to be also protecting our people who are right in that region at
a confrequent. douglas is live in washington with new details. >> good morning. this is a big deal. this is something the kurds have been calling for, a number of republicans have been calling to provide more assistance to northern iraq. the idea here is to put them on something more of a level playing field. remember, these isi militants stole a lot of arms from the iraqi army as are iraqi army retreated. the u.s., meantime, taking on more air strikes, taking out isis targets that are encroaching or the kurdish capital and trying to protect those members of the yedizi religious sect that have taken refuge on a mountain top near syria. getting back to the arming of the kurds here, one change we've seen is the fact that these arms
are going to by provided directly to the kurds rather than going through baghdad, which is typically how the u.s. operated in iraq. it may show a growing distrust of the iraqi government, the fact that we're bypassing them in this process and the other big factor here that you can't ignore is this guy, iraqi prime minister nuri al maliki. he may be mounting a real legal battle here to challenge being eventually challengeds as iraq's prime minister. we'll see how that plays out. clearly, if he sticks around as the prime minister as iraq, that's going to create all kinds of complications for the obama administration. back to you guys. >> thanks a lot, doug. >> can anyone be really surprised by this? you pull out of iraqi, it's a fractured company with at least three separate groups that hate each other, of course it's going to fall apart. and they weren't prepared for this, the white house? >> the thing is, the people making it fall apart aren't the
iraqis. these are the people who got together with arms, battle plans, got together, ousted -- in iraq. plowing the field and fertilizing the ground for an insurgency. isis has tens of millions behind them in terms of cash to support their mission of takeovers, threatening to have another 9/11. everyone should be concerned, but as you said, not surprise. mike baker who is with the cia says there is no surprise at all. there were warnings ka came to the administration as far as back as a year. >> we've been warning, military and intelligence personnel have been warning since easily last year about the build up of isis and the potential threat and their intentions. they've been very clear for well over a year about what their intentions are. so it's disengymus to see you're
surprised. the foreign policy team we currently have i don't think could organize panic in a doomed submarine. there seems to be a serious disconnect between what's going on in the real world and the policies coming out of the white house right now. >> so hillary clinton of all people seems to have danced herself from the president's version of what could or could not have been done. she says in an atlantic article that if it was up to me, i would have armed the syrian free army, therefore, there would have been no need for isis to come in and fill the vacuum. turkey supplied all this material to isis. and if hillary clinton claims to have had her way, we would have done what john mckab wanted to have done, something that the president has described three different times as a fantasy. interesting. but ron forney, a long time ap political corespondent covered the president. he summed it up perfectly i
thought the other day on special report. he said the president is the underestimator in chief. >> this is a president who underestimated isis, he underestimated what was going to happen after libya. he said that in the "new york times" pup underestimated putin. he underestimated in several other areas. he's been the commander in chief or the underestimator in chief. >> general hamm is among the people saying you are not going to have much success with an aerial campaign. there has to be some type of ground campaign. >> senator lindsay graham says if we don't do something now -- we should have deny something long ago, but if we don't do something now, they are on their way here. >> al badhdadi, he was in jail,
he got out. if we hadn't let him out, this could have prevented the whole thing. moving on, tony stewart, the nascar driver, struck and killed a fellow driver on the short dirt track and now investigators say there is no evidence of criminal intelligence. by the way, the family of mr. ward, the slain man, really unleashing this morning on tony stewart, calling him names, very, very upset. don't seem to take him at his word that this was an accident. >> i'm sure that they are absolutely heart broke sxn devastated and shocked all in one. >> the county sheriff had this to say. >> at this very moment, there is no -- there are no facts in hand that would substashate or support a criminal charge or indicate criminal intent on the part of any individual. there are no foregone conclusions made at this point. we are looking for any information, any relevant
evidence that will help us to come to a final determination as to why this happened. >> so essentially what you saw, the video that we showed you is you'll see kevin ward jr. wreck. he believes tony stewart is responsible for it. and they start driving under a caution flag. he gets out of the car, all black, black helmet. it's race at night, not well lit. and they say -- the people, eyewitnesss say that tony stewart aups car was behind anterior car that swerved out of the way from hitting kevin ward and then revealed ward standing in the middle of the road and then ward would be hit by stewart. >> there were some also that thought there was acceleration at that point. they'll be checking the conditions of the track itself. did they slow down on the race, all the things brought into question in this investigation. we spoke with two eyewitnesss, a father and son who were there to say they believe that it was an accident. >> tony stewart is professional at what he does. anybody -- i mean, it could have
been a local guy in tony stewart's position. no one wants to intentionally hit another driver. >> my assumption on the speed up was just basically, you know, tony stewart, you know, sped up to avoid an altercation on the track. these are athletes, they're in competitive situations. and they're looking to win or at least do as well as they can. when they feel as if they've been denied that opportunity, their emotions can get the best of them. >> we'll see what happens. he's been questioned three different times. the sheriff who talked to him said tony stewart is extremely upset. >> that was logan and michael messerly. they were there, just a father and son trip. do you think this was intentional? tell us what you think. >> go to our facebook page and tell us. a lot of you are more experience watching these races than we are. >> if you have video of this, investigators are looking for other people who may have shot
iphone video of it. >> meanwhile, heather now is poised to give us the rest of the news. i have a story that happened last night. it was supposed to be a peaceful prayer vigil but it turned into a real riot. exploding violence out of the state of missouri after an unarmed teenager is killed by police. hundreds of protesters looting stores in the st. louis suburb of burgason. you can see them as they grab a whole bunch of stuff from the shoe store and run ott of the broken window. the group set a convenience store on fire and started stealing from that store's atm. you can see it topple right out on the street. there were about a couple hundred of them out there. two officers were hurt. at least 32 people were arrested late last night. a desperate search is now under way at this hour off the
coast of hawaii. this is a 42-foot sailboat with three people on board. it sent out a distress signal from about 400 miles off the coast. a plane was able to reach that area, but there were 30-foot waves. that prevented a rescue. there is now a container ship 660 feet long and that's en route to try to help. dwayne "the rock" johnston says he is grateful after his mother and a cousin survive a horrific car accident. they were hit head on by a drunk driver. take a look at this car right there. that is an escalade. amazingly, they are okay this morning. the actor instagramed this photo and tweeted this, the most important thing is that my family live through this and we can hug each other much tighter these days. he posted this photo, trying to put the best light on it. he was visiting his mom and his cousin in the hospital.
glad they are okay. the emotional teenage drama, the fault in our stars, winning big in this year's teen choice award. >> the biggest challenge was ensuring that we brought as much truth to the table as possible because the script is so beautifully written. >> michael kamara loved that movie. that movie picked up several surfboard trophies. and then the hunger games was also a big win. josh huchinson named best actor, lucy hale taking home the surf board for her show and then the singer arianna grande voted best music vocalist. >> the teen choice, it was my choice not to watch. >> anyone gives me a surf board for winning, i don't know.
unless it folds up, i probably cannot travel with it. >> i'm more boogie board, anyway. coming up, doesz of roller coaster riders stranded 75 feet up in the air this weekend. >> and then caught on camera, the moment a small leak ignites an entire gas station. >> we're back. ♪

the u.s. carried out five more air strikes yesterday. but as the administration grows to act, is our enemy gaping ground? lieutenant general tom macanerney. general, first off, are you happy with the strategy as it currently is being implemented through the air? >> what kind of strategy? five targets? no, i am not 's not a strategy. those are less than pinpricks. we need to be hitting at least 200 targets a day and it must be a very offensive air campaign and it's an easy air campaign for u.s. forces. >> without intel on the grouped, is it hard to find targets? >> no. anything moving is an enemy target. it's isis. it hit.
>> you think we can be effective through the air? >> absolutely. i know we can. the peshmerga took two towns back yesterday. if we put in an afwresive air campaign hitting 200 targets a day, isis can't move. the operation is to protect kurdistan and our allies. it is not to work the problem in baghdad. >> but what about the president saying no victorer, no -- >> i don't know what that means. >> i guess he looks at the kurd, all of them as equals. >> we must defend them with all the power we've got. it's an easy air campaign. 24/7, uabs, bombers, fighters, and it doesn't take a lot to do this. >> general dempsey knows this.
do you think he's pushing for that or do you think he is powerless? >> well, i'm not sure about general dempsey. if he isn't pushing for it, it's like benghazi. he didn't push for doing something in benghazi before or during. i'm not sure that general dempsey knows how to use air power. >> wow, as a marine. now let's talk about hillary clinton. she gave heads up to the white house that she's coming out with an article, an interview in the atlantic that's critical of their strategy, especially when it comes to syria. they claims that she would have armed if they had listened to her the free syrian army early preventing the rise of isis. hooefr here is the quote. i know the failure to help build up a fighting force of the people who were the originators of the force against assad left a big vacuum which the jihad have now filled. your take? >> i happen to agree with her. i'm not sure why it's just coming out now.
i was pushing for the free syrian army. they were a huge help. we ended up arming the wrong people over there and, remember, isis was formerly al qaeda in iraq. look at what we have now created -- we didn't create it. but by doing nothing, we let it create itself. by doing nothing now, we have a huge problem not only in the middle east, but generally. >> general, i love the way you started this. with your experience, air power could do significant damage to our enemy, isis. thanks so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks, brian. coming up, straight ahead, a new warning for parent hospital res seeing a spike in choip child poisoning from something you use every day. we'll share that information. and 50,000 illegal immigrant children set to flood or schools in a few weeks. what impact will that have on

influx of children faces them. but specifically, what are we dealing with? >> the first thing so keep in mind is public schools across the country are keenly aware that they have a lil legal obligation to educate all children, including migrant or immagatory children. but now with the number of children coming over without parent of guardians, it's the n unaccompanied status that is a concern for schools. >> so you say they have an obligation under federal law, they have to educate kids who show up here illegally. but what about the kids who are born here, who have the right to a decent education and aren't getting one because of this? >> that's a great question, tucker. in 1982, the supreme court ruled all students had a right to public education, regardless of whether they were here legally or illegally. so i think the question for schools now becomes how do we
balance our resource toes make sure that all kids are getting the services that they need? one thing i think that is important to keep in mind is the fact that it's going to vary. when we're talking about -- i guess the numbers that would he have seen are 50,000 or 60,000 students coming in now. and when you divide that by, say, the 14,000 school districts across the nation and even further by the number of schools in a district, then the actual impact in numbers of students per school is rather small. and that's going to vary. a larger district is going to be more well equipped likely in urban centers like miami. >> francisco, where does the funding come from here? every child obviously adds additional cost, additional teaching time, time to understand what language they are speaking, where they exist on the teaching platform here. where is the funding coming from? >> those are all terrific points. one of the issues that we don't know is what the education level is of many of these children, whether they've been to school
at all. we don't know what there are language is. we can't just assume it's spanish. it may be a dialect or some sore of indigenous language. we don't know. that is a challenge. the funding pore public schools generally comes through the state. each students gets a certain amount of funds. and we do that by head counts, right? so at the beginning of the year, for instance witness states generally take account of the number of students and then the school districts get that money. so it's going to be important to know exactly when the kids are coming and when they leave so that they can be counted for purposes of getting that money to local school districts. >> francisco negrone, general council national schoolboard education, thank you for that explanation. we appreciate it. coming up next, this wild video taken at a park. what is it? and then it's national bowling day. we are celebrate, food, fun and a few gutter balls the.we're sdmiting it.

stewart, 20-year-old kevin ward jr. walked on to the racetrack and was soon struck down by stewart's car and killed. the can you think driver died from his injuries almost immediately. stewart has issued an apology. he is cooperate, police. but this isn't the first time that tony stewart has been involved in an accident or been described by others as reckless. so what happens next in this investigate? >> any chance criminal charges have been filed here? >> it's unlikely. the sheriff came out and said this is not a criminal investigation yet. the evidence needs to be established that tony stewart didn't slow down when he should have or he intentionally went towards ward in an effort to hit him. it's going to be almost impossible, i believe, based on the videos that have already surfaced that are going to be able to prove that fact.
we can't see into tony stewart's head. so i don't believe there is likely to be a criminal case here. >> so we're already seeing wartd's family attacking stewart on facebook. so it's not inconceivable they filed a suit against stewart. how likely is it a civil case will occur? >> a, it's a different burden of proof. there's a chance of winning. and b, the lawsuit basically is essentially based on negligence. not an intentional act, but a negligent act. another car did go by peacefully. the question is whether or not stewart didn't slow down or somehow negligently or recklessly swerved, put his foot on the accelerator. there are some people that said he throttled his car. >> we interviewed two of them
this morning, pretty clear he accelerated. why he accelerated is the question. can he take this into account? we're going to put up on the screen some of the past incidents stewart has been involved in. there was an incident last year at the track. he had a fight with fellow driver joey logano. he committed he caused an accident that broke another driver's back. >> when we think about who motivated tony stewart for causing this accident or being involved in this accident, i think as a matter of law, however, his bad boy reputation, his aggressive reputation is not going to be something that is spoj for a criminal charge. you can't be charged for a crime based on your prior bad acts. if, in fact, the evidence supports either a man slaughter or a homicide case here, then a prosecutor is going to argue about bringing in his reputation.
maybe it goes to motive or plan or intent. but even then, it's a difficult thing to bring in prior unrelated bad act to prove a prior crime. >> i'm wonder whag kind of advice stewart is getting. yesterday we spoke to someone who knows his well. at of so k 10:00 a.m., they were planning on racing. they were saying that in public, which if you were their lawyer, would you advise that? >> i would advise to stay clear of any press, any publicity, any racing. there's a lot going on with stewart. i agree his reputation likely will not come into evidence. but my thought is stay out of the limelight, stay at home. the less you're out there, the better. >> so smart. thank you for coming on this morning. coming up, your kid takes it to school every day. but do you know there is a whole list of dangers hidden inside?
the backpack, your child wears could be dangerous. what you need to know before you buy one. but first, on this date in 2003, nato took command of the isaf in afghanistan. in 2006, the tsa banned all liquids, gels and arizoi air sa aerosol ss.

welcome back. time for the answer to today's trivia question. the answer, hulk hogan. congratulations to canton from texas. well, the school year is just around the corner. parents know it. but do you know what's in your child's backpack? it turns out you may want to think twice before packing some common items. they may be harmful. joining us now is megan meaney with details. so the backpack seems pretty benign. >> there's a lot to worry about. this is a quick checklist that i think all parents should go through. number one, they shouldn't have medication in their backpack. but between aergs and add and everything else, some kids end up with something in there. >> even if it's something simple as an inhaler. >> the inhaler is one thing some kids are allowed to scary in schools. if you have a friend who has medication in their backpack,
you don't touch it, you don't test it, they don't know your medical history and vice versa. but the thing to do is the medication should be out of the backpack at the nurse's office. but just talk to a kid. anything from claritin to tylenol. >> chemicals? >> there one i couldn't believe. there is a chemical that was banned from toys, but was never banned from school supplies. so what it is, it's a toxic plastic. what you're looking for is shiny, flexible and that plastic that really has that -- >> that's everything. >> you can smell that smell, right? you know that smell. i'm not saying all these things here on the table definitely have it. the trouble is, things aren't labeled properly. >> what does it do? >> everything from birth defects to learning disabilities to asthma. buy something cotton to polyester. i love itsy ritsy.
everything is cotton. you're good to go. but avoid the vinyl last plastic. tell me how we are to avoid electronics? >> you can't avoid electronics. the danger is all the information kids keep on them. number one, they need to have smart passwords. i asked my son who is 8, i didn't know, what is the password on your ipod touch who plays games. 2525. love you, honey, but we need to work on that. it's too easy. and that's common with kids. we have changed it. so they need smart passwords, letters and numbers, right? >> so protect information here and be careful with the information that they carry in link to their backpack. >> they can get right into amazon and sharp shopping. >> put your name as a parent and their work phone number. i'd rather have them find the
bag than find your kids. >> you are saving parents across the nation. that you can so far for backpacking safely as it comes to school. coming up, rioting overnight. we're going to give you details on that. a teen shot by a cop. more from st. louis. new fiber one streusel.
races legend tony stewart questioned again about running down another driver. was it intentional? the late oeft that this morning. and overnight, the white house authorizes new air strikes against the terrorists in iraq. but the president planned crackdown has an unlikely critic. hillary clinton. using the word "stupid"? and a simple tv remote made a baby go crazy. >> do it, do it.
>> it's the cutest video you'll see all day. mornings are better with friends. >> man, what a day for you to come back off vacation and a what a day to have an extra day. >> good morning. police need the help of people who were at that race over the weekend. we are talking about -- well, this morning, the death of kevinward jr. police are trying to figure out exactly what happened. was this accident intentional? police have questioned nascar champion tony stewart twice, but they have not charged him, saying there is no evidence of any sort of criminal intent. some are point to go stewart's troubled history off and on the track. but others, like logan messerley are now defending him.
>> tony stewart is a professional at what he does. no one wants to intentionally hit another driver. a lot of people -- a lot of drivers and people that race these cars also say that he may not have seen him. >> stay tuned, we'll be joined by bill dilner for a closer look at this story. >> a desperate search is under way at this hour. look at that boat right there. it sent out a distress signal when it was 400 miles off the coast. a plane was able to reach it. but 30-foot waves prevented a rescue. the ocean is expected to be calmer today, so that makes a possible rescue a whole lot easier. there's a containership en route to see if it can help out. well, the 17-year-old who has been charged in the murder of a little girl is about to be charged in washington state. 6-year-old janese was found in
the mobile home park where she lived with her family four days after she disappeared. her parents say janese was able to roam around that neighborhood on her own because they said it was a safe neighborhood. police saying he lived near janese and forensic evidence links him to the murder. those are your headlines. see you back n here in about 20 memberships. we have a lot of news going on. overnight, the u.s. launching five more air strikes, taking out what they say are key isis positions. this as fox confirms the u.s. is finally providing arms to our allies. the kurdish fighters battling militants. doug has the details live in washington. >> good morning. and the united states taking a renewed focus now on northern iraq. talking about sending direct military assistance to help out the kurdish fighters there. a kurdish representative told
fox news that this is exactly the kind of thing that they needed. he alleged the central government in baghdad is not passing along u.s. assistance to the north as it was supposed to. >> the share was worth $200 million. it was given to the leadership in baghdad prime minister maliki. it was put in the air base in taji. i never got delivered to the forces. had that been delivered, today they would have been able to with stand the forces. >> will this be enough to turn the tide? and the president is facing critics who say the u.s. needs to do more and isis ultimately has the united states in its cross hairs. >> his responsibility as president is to defend this nation. if he doesn't go on the ovbsive against isis, isil, whatever you want to call these guys, they are coming here. this is just not about baghdad, this is not just about syria.
it is about our homeland. and if we get attacked because he has no strategy to protect us, then he will have committed a blunder for the agency. >> and as far as sending assistance to the kurds, one thing to note, the united states is bypassing the central government in baghdad. generally that aid would be sent to baghdad, baghdad would send it to the north. that's not how this is going to happen this happened. that may be due in large part to prime minister nuri al maliki. he is fighting for his job right now. he clearly does not have much u.s. trust. so the bypass here may be partially a snub, but also an indication that they think it's safer to deliver toss arm directly to the kurds rather than rely on someone like maliki. >> right, who has been sarveing the kurds. on top of that, al maliki eventually lol lost all of his allies. he placed his forces in sta
teejteej ic strategic areas in baghdad. >> president obama thought he could get through two terms without taking responsibility or ownership of the situation in iraq and that clearly isn't working out well. he is not tornlg architect of our iraq policy, but he's had it for six years and he is taking the blame not just from republicans and on the right, but apparently from hillary clinton, his former secretary of state. she just did an interview in which she clearly leveled criticism at him in his stewardship of iraq. >> in an 8,000 word interview with atlantic magazine where she said this, taking a shot at the obama doctrine. quote, great nations need organizing principals and don't do stupid stuff is not an organizing principal. it may be a necessary break on the actions we might take in order to promote a vision. seemingly, some what say she's taking advantage of the 60% of
americans that believe in recent polls the president is not doing well when it comes to foreign policy. >> and she talked about syria. she said, for example, there was a period of time where we could have armed the syrian rebels. now, at the same time in which the president, 48 hours earlier, gave thomas freedman of the "new york times" saying, totally opposite. she said -- he said arming a former or -- engineer who started out as a protester and suddenly see themselves in the midst of a civil conflict taking on an established army would not bear any fruit. however, hillary clinton says you're wrong, that's who who they were. that's the same thing mccain has said. they were a potential formidable force. so you have discrepancies now -- >> she sounds like lindsay graham. >> but she really is -- i mean,
what's so interesting is i think she means some of this. clearly some of it is political. >> 2014 is not too far away. >> on the other hand, this is consistent with her views. she voted to authorize force in iraq in 2003. she has a very different view from obama. my question to her would be, really? you were secretary of state for all those years? did you just parrot the president's policy.? where were you when you worked there? >> well, i do belief you appears to the president because he's ultimately the decisionmaker. but i do remember succinctly after coalin powell got out of office, he was critical of the president. however, coalin powell wasn't running for president. so people just wonder where she's coming with this. however, if she is going tie ownership -- she got her way in libya and the president said that was one of his biggest mistakes. >> but you can't look at libya and all those terrible things
included in benghazi and say it's a better, more stable country since we killed gadhafi. >> unless you claim that not acting left a huge vacuum. that is where she stands now. the approximately in recent polls is striking out. moving into an election season, is this about global security or is it about skoouring a position in the white house for hillary clinton? >> general macaneary joined us earlier and this is his stru of the credit kim somg from the democrats and from hully. >> that's not a strategy. we need to be hitting at least 200 targets a day and it must be a very offensive air campaign and it's an easy air campaign for u.s. forces. i was pushing for the free syrian army. general paul bowley went over there several times, was, woulding with them. they are a huge ally. we ended up arming the wrong
people over there. isis was formerly al qaeda in iraq. and if we don't stop it now and stop it and protect the kurds, we are a huge problem, not only in the middle east, but globally. >> the turks have been arming the rebels because they don't like assad. but they were arming the wrong rebels. we might have, according to the general, armed the wrong rebels and the syrian army who started the protest and revolution in syria have been overwhelmed by al qaeda which has morphed into isis. how did we let that happen? gradually. we kachd falluja fall, we hit mosul, when that fell we said oh, my goods, where did this come from? who could have foreseen this? and the answer is we could have all foreseen this, but no one was paying attention. >> chaos is the worst thing ppts the very worst because it allows people to take control. and there's something worse than having secular strong men in charge. i'm sorry, there is, much worse. isis.
>> i think you are right. >> and if you elect to be out of control on their way hooep here, they may come. >> they're scary. you think assad and gadhafi are scary, these guys are really scary. >> but after a series of lekdzs in iraq, we left the situation in that country where it was calm in iraq. and the president ran on the fact that iraq was peaceful. >> they didn't claim it when it comes to global terror. >> in come the enemy and it's al qaeda. al qaeda and islamic extremists are our enemy, too. >> well put. up next, continuing coverage of the tony stewart stri striki officer, the latest on where the investigation goes from here from fox sports reporter bill dilner who has been following this race all weekend.
and talk about getting caught with your pants down. the kid who just can't seem to catch up. >> right. because he's mustard.
no peace.
>> a fox news alert, hundreds take to the streets of st. louis rioting and looting, protesting the death of an unarmed teen shot and killed by police. and that is where we find now ktvi reporter rocky madden. what can you tell us? disturbing. >> oh, it's a very frightening night here for so many citizens. it is calming down now, the last report we had of people breaking into a store a couple of hours ago. this is a convenience store. after they looted, they burned it, sprayed graffiti on the outside. three workers inside. they went to the back, took cover inside a room, locked the door, called security for the company. they got too scared, put on jackets to cover their uniforms, ran out the back door. they said if they would have stayed, they fear they would
have died. a frightening night here. let me give you some numbers. police say at least 12 businesses here that were looted. this is the one we know was burned also. but that number is expected to go much, much higher. as far as injuries, no civilian-reported injuries at this point. two police officers hurt. we understand one hit in the head with a brick, one injured knee. we don't think either a life threatening at this point. as far as arrests, we're hearing 32 people in jail at this point. but they expect that number to go higher. >> rocky, thank you for being with us this morning on that chaotic incident there. brian, what do you have? >> let me tell you the latest on this story. a new york sheriff says criminal charges will not be filed against three time nascar champion tony stewart. he left one of his fellow racers dead. 20-year-old kevin ward jr. jumped out of his wrecked car presumably to confront stewart.
we won't show you what happened next. it's too grisly. rob, first off, on these developments, are you surprised no charges will be pressed from the video that you've seen? >> well, i think the sheriff's department has said that the investigation is ongoing right now. so they're trying to collect all sorts of material, eyewitness accounts, as well as asking anybody that has any amateur video to come forward and distribute that to them so they can investigate further. of course, we will be waiting on another statement from the sheriff's department today. we'll have the latest on race hub on fox sports at 5:00 p.m. >> how rare is it for a racer to get out of his car under a caution and point to another racer? >> it's honestly not rare. i've been covering racing for almost 20 years. and i've seen this on several different occasions at short tracks across the country.
racing is an emotional support and racers show their ee meshl in many different ways. i've seen this on several different occasions from the highest levels of the nascar sprint cup series down to the short tracks of america. what kevin ward did is something we've seen on several occasions every single year that i've cover motorsports. >> well, i'll tell you what, the new york daily news has a story today from one of kevin's friends who says he and tony stewart have a history of not liking each other. they've raced against each other a lot and they've always had a thing for each other. they seem to have gone at it a few times and there seems to be somewhat of a history. do you know about this history inspect. >> i know they got into an incident a couple years ago in a sprint car race. and that's about the extent that i know of the so-called rivalry between the two.
i've heard stories here and there in the nascar garage area yesterday at watkins glenn. but i think the big question here is everybody is questioning the intent for tony stewart after reviewing the tape several times and knowing tony stewart like i do, i do not believe there was anywhere intent whatsoever for tony stewart to have his car hit kevin ward when he was walking down the racetrack. so i think that's the most clear cut factor in the entire investigation. >> i hope you're right and i think you are right. rob dilner, thanks so much. neen while, 20 minutes now after the hour. straight ahead, people look forward to shark week on tv all year long, but now it's happening in real life and people getting ready hurt. another attack just happened. and do you still sit down for dinner as a family? breakfast time, making sure this family has dinner to it. we're forcing them.

that isis represents a threat to this country. the president's focus is on protecting tens of thousands of refugees on mt. singay and finding a way to get them to safety and on protecting the u.s. consulate where there are several hundred marines. he says iraq has to take on isis in part by changing a political system that encourages sunni muslims to join the rebellion. the president's aide says nuri al maliki's threatened lawsuit will make it much more difficult for the iraqis to fight sis. facebook users, you've probably seen this message on your smartphone. they are changing the fine print. chances are you are not going to like it one bit. but first, let's check in with martha. >> hi there, good morning, everybody. the u.s. is now sending arms to the kurds as our involvement

>> nice to meet you, sir. >> thank you, guys. >> if we can send people to space. if we can do all of these things that we have done as a nation, certainly we audited to be able to find ways to deal with the pain that these men and women are going through because of the injuries they have suffered defending our nation. >> reverend franklin graham is the president of samaritan's purse which funds the lodge. >> my youngest son served seven tours. he was wounded on his third deployment. so jane and i understand just a little bit of what these families go through. and the hardship it is on the family. >> do you remember the date you were injured? >> i do. like it was yesterday. 2 may of 2009. >> sergeant first class chuck armstead was injured on third combat tour in iraq. >> we want we were on a come
battalion outpost south of mosul it was iraqi training compound also. it was my day to pull guard and i happened to be upstairs initially and i heard a gunshot. but and soldiers knew if something happened to call me on the radio and let me know what was going on. no one ever called. i walk outside i'm going to find out what's going on to check on him to make sure he was okay. i walk outside. i didn't see anybody at the gate. i didn't see him. and so i started to proceed to walk further and out steps an iraqi from behind the vehicle with an ak and he just shot me. shot me in the stomach. one went through and shattered my hip. pretty much came out othe other side of my butt cheek. pretty much paralyzed me from the waste -- waist down. they gave me no more than two hours to survive. they shot an artery. i bled out and they couldn't get any circulation to my
leg anymore. they had had to cut it away. >> anyone killed. >> three wounded. i was one of the three wounded and two others did not make it that day. >> unfortunately, chuck's story is far from rare. the department of defense estimates a 2,000 u.s. service members have been wounded in iraq and afghanistan. >> what happened to you? >> i just didn't run fast enough. i mean, that's all you could say. the building that we had got hit by stray mortars. and i had some damage to my head and i lost my vision in one eye and my knees were messed up. they just got busted up more. now we just try to keep everything held together the best we can. >> how do you describe what came home to you? >> well, michael, like the others have said, the person that came home was not the person that left. and michael, he couldn't
remember simple things. and it was just -- it was like the light in his eyes had gone out. >> as a wife, the same person doesn't come back and oftentimes broken physically. >> that's correct. they are emotionally different. they are physically different. and this is the -- that is so hard for the couples to deal with. and there is a lot of guilt with the soldier because is he not the person that his wife married. >> when i left, i was in charge of everything. and then when i got home, i have to have someone tell me when to bathe. i mean, because you don't remember if you took a bath or not, you know. you can't drive anymore. because, you know, you forget where the car is. and now you are dependent on everybody for everything. and it just -- you are mad at the world because that's not who you were.
and it's just difficult to overtom that. it's hard on her because you tend to blame your spouse for everything. because you just don't know what's going on. your world is turned upside down. >> there is a lot of programs for the soldier. and activities for soldier to go do. there wasn't anything that included the spouses. that's why we decided okay, let dance something. i don't want to duplicate something u greta, that somebody else is doing. let's try to do something different. focusing on the marriage is different. >> everybody is like oh, yea, mike, the hero, whatever. they don't see stefanie behind the scenes. she was the one doing the bills. she was the one signing the paperwork. she was the one tracking things down and making sure my recovery went well. >> master sergeant mike trough says his wife steaf any is the real hero in their marriage. she took the lead when mike was injured in afghanistan in 2012. >> we were escorting international development representative. she wanted to see the school
to see if there was school being taught. we are in a little village called robot. and we had had had six al banian nato soldier us with us. 8 afghannians. one of them was a taliban plant. he turned the machine gun on me and two other al gannian soldiers shot five times with a machine gun. i lost my thumb and forefinger and shot both legs and both buttocks and it was a long road. >> when military member comes home injured, dynamics change. and we weren't sure how to deal with it we had no clue how to deal with it we had put up walls. we quit communicating. >> the wife is trying to explain to her husband or the husband is trying to explain to the wife if that's the case what they had been through and so forth. but the spouse doesn't
understand what the soldier has gone through and the soldier doesn't understand what the spouse has gone through. what happens is these marriages are beginning to drift apart. >> sergeant met her husband gunnery sergeant edward merits in the marine corps. she retired. he stayed. in she said his four combat deployments changed him. >> he was a completely different man when he returned. >> in what way? >> he was more distant. he didn't seem to care anymore about himself or others. it was -- it just wasn't the man i married. and he wasn't as loving as he was before he left. >> there was some really dark times, you know, where i was -- i would drink all the time. you know, i would come home from work and i would drink a 20 pack of beer. you know, on the weekends i would sit on the couch or sit outside and that's all i
would do is drink all day. it took her leaving me for me to truly understand what i had. >> marriage is tough. even under the best of circumstances. but you take an injury that now changes that person, that's not the person you married. and you have had these long deployments where you have been separated. these marriages, greta, need help. they need help. >> our brave soldiers and marines put their lives on the line for us every day. their spouses know the risk of injury or death is always near. but nothing can prepare them for that dreaded phone call. >> certify, how did you hear that mike was hurt? >> he called me from the operating room when he was in recovery and he wanted to tell me himself. he didn't want me finding out from the army. he had one of his troops get a cell phone for him and he called me very morphined up. >> sergeant who just got in from leave holding my hand he said how are you doing, sergeant, i said fine, get a
phone because i wanted to tell my wife. >> >> what were the words that came across? >> i can't say on air. [ laughter ] >> but i actually when i came out of the spa, i had 19 missed calls from a restricted number. >> 19? >> yeah. so they kept calling me over and over. so i knew when i looked at the phone i knew something had happened. i just sat in my car and waited and it was probably about a minute and the phone rang again and i answered it and i heard his sergeant in the background say master sergeant, she answered. answer then it took him a while to speak because of the medication he was on. he finally came up and told me. >> were you comfortable that you thought he was going to it live or did it cross your mind he might not live? >> his injuries were very serious. and when i first talked to the doctors at kandahar, their first medical reports he was critical. >> i was actually in conversation playing softball when i got the phone call. >> who called you and what was said? >> >> one of his battle buddies. i guess he was one of the people that -- that comes to
your house. so, since i wasn't there, he talked to my oldest. and my oldest, he gave her the phone and she was like mom, i got some bad news. and i lost it because i'm like why is she calling me saying she has got bad news about dad. i knew i had just talked to him earlier that morning. and one of my other friends got the phone and that's when they told her that chuck had been shot. >> did they tell you how seriously? >> yeah. yeah. told me was shot in the abdomen and it wasn't good. and once i actually got to talk to the doctors, that's when they told me they was going to give him two hours. >> two hours to live? >> to live, yes. >> my daughter-in-law, when she got the phone call that my son was -- was injured,
greta, you don't know. you are not talking to the doctor right then. so you don't know and you are left in a vacuum of darkness for hours. you just don't know. and for me as a dad, it's tough. it's tough for me. but just think what it does for the wives and the children of these soldiers and the injuries and the pain and suffering they have been through. that's why we want to help them here. i can't help them all, but these 10 a week that come here. these 10 couples, i can do something about that. >> we were on our last leg, i mean, we had had exhausted everything. and i mean, it's like a pilot running out of fuel. you either ditch the plane or you eject the only problems we didn't have room for both of to us eject. you know, i wanted to just leave the whole situation. and just let her get on with
her life. >> we have seen, greta, by the end of the week, couples that had not talked to each other, had not held each other's hand, had not slept together for the first time in the same room in the same bed and no distractions, no television, no internet, and they are kind of forced to talk. and i think once they start talking and all of a sudden i think they kind of remember what it was like when they first met each other. a lot of these soldiers come up here and they think that they're the only ones that are kind of going through what they're going through because they don't have that kind of support group of other wounded soldiers to hang with. so, when they are up here, they are sitting around this room right here discussing their problems that they're facing with their marriages, the problems they are facing with their kids or the problems they're facing with their meds that they are taking. and they didn't know that there were other people that they could caulk to. >> did you find out why your spouse is so weird? you know, you kind of watch
them do things and then all of a sudden you feel like that's why they are like that. >> the classes that -- the content is all professionally done and it's -- by the military, by chaplains who have served in the military. >> mark lang is the program manager for samaritan's lodge, alaska. >> these guys really connect with all of our staff and especially with the chaplain. >> men, what do we do? >> we don't like -- that implies we are wrong. that implies we have failed. and what the is men that men fear the most? shame and dishonor. >> most of these couples don't know each other when they come up here and so they get new friends and the women have a chance to talk to the other women. the guys have students to share with each other, which is really awesome to talk about their injuries and different things they go through. so, it's -- they gain knowledge, you know are from each other and there is a
comradery that develops throughout the course of the week. it's life changing for people. >> experts believe as many as 20% of iraq vets suffer from ptsd. hear about the struggles they experience. >> plus: >> we have had them come off the airplane fighting. and you just wonder how in the world are you going to get through the week with this? >> can these marriages be saved? all that, when this "on the record" special, the next battle, when our heroes come home returns.
i love alaska. i have since the first time i came here in 1973. it's a land of breathe taking beauty and excitement. so when samaritan's purse
franklin county gave me a week to spend there with wounded warriors i didn't hesitate. i grabbed my hesitate and griff jenkins and he grabbed his camera and we headed to alaska. >> we are headed to brook falls this morning with five of our veteran couples from operation heal our patriots and bricks falls is the most photographed area for alaska brown bears. we are excited and ready to go. there are some big sows with cubs. it's kind of like being in the zoo without the fences. pretty cool. >> it is nature. >> oh, yeah. >> it's not entirely without some danger. >> well, that's true. >> the plan is, we have all flown in on these c planes. we are going to go bear hunting. we all have our cameras and we are going to get up
close, not too personal, but up close with all bears. >> currently here at the bear trails waiting for a bear to leave the area outside of the auto yard line from the bridge that why we can reapproach the bridge. >> that's a pretty big size bear. >> a yawn is a sign they are stressed out. >> go back. move their head back and forth. their jaw pops. >> uh-oh he yawned. >> get ready to walk rapidly if he comes this way. >> amazing, isn't it? >> beautiful. >> all right, folks. we can now head up to the corners. >> >> you will be pretty close to them it's a wonderful time where the couples are just hand in hand
concentrating on each other. the focus is not fishing or bear viewing. the focus is on the couples. this is awesome, unreal. >> these couples, these long deployments and the difficulty that it is for the marriages that we needed to do something and this was something that samaritans purse could do. so i thought about bringing soldiers up here just to take them fishing and bear viewing. we had other people say franklin, why don't we think about the marriage enrichment. >> you see, the first day they come, in there is a little trepidation, by thursday you see these folks just really developing relationships. for instance, this morning, i i had one of the veterans
tell me he and his wife have slept together in the same bed in over seven years. the first time that they have held hands and walked on one of their boardwalks. and so you hear stuff like that is really encouraging. you know, when you look around, this you see god's creation. and and the beauty. you are away from the distractions of the world and you are seeing nature in its purest form. it really sets the stage. >> coming up next, the wounded warriors challenge me to take the polar plunge. >> beat me you have to jump in the lake with us. >> am i brave enough to actually do it? moderate to severe crohn's disease is tough,
but i've managed. ♪ i got to be pretty good at managing my symptoms, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. ♪ when i finally told my doctor, he said my crohn's was not under control. ♪ he said humira is for adults like me who've tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission.

happy as anybody in there. he was cracking jokes and every day i would go down there i, i would see him. he was the same way every day. i have got two arms. i got my mind. i got one leg. i don't have anything to be sad or mad about. so, from that day forward, my attitude just like changed overnight. i was like i want to go talk to people. i wanted to go encourage people. >> so many of these cup peels peel that they're -- feel they're the only ones going through. this nobody understands what they're going through. all of a sudden they are with nine other couples that yeah, we have that same problem. >> these military families are already under incredible stress. when one of them is injured, the last thing they need is a hassle getting healthcare. but we now know many vets are waiting months, or even years to see a doctor. it's like they close the door and don't care. in the v.a. system they have the caregiver program.
you have a lot of coordinators that don't care and think that everyone is there for a handout. but we are really just there because we need help. >> these soldiers, a lot of them, the va can only take them so far. and they are having to get treatment outside of the v.a. for, especially for pain. now these soldiers are able to network with one another. listen, i'm trying this. here is a doctor at this particular location that has been able to help me. i think that's valuable for spouses to have. >> another frustration is finding suitable work after leaving the service. petty deployments to the middle east. >> my husband was an independent duet foreman in the military. >> what does that mean? >> it means they he was a physician assistant for the military. he would do surgery if he needed to in the combat field. he would give out medication. he would examine his guys, that sort of thing. >> he goes back and talk to people about a possible job.
what do they say would be a good job for him? >> actually, one of the job he got was a sandwich assembler. they told him he would be good at subway making those sandwiches. >> we had to pick his mouth up off the floor if that's as good as it gets maybe we shouldn't look any further. >> helps marines find jobs after they leave the corps. >> one of the biggest things is just people understanding, number one, don't be afraid of what you are getting. you are getting a highly qualified, highly trained. any vet walking out of the military is going to bring discipline. a time schedule, team work, problem-solving all of that to you. really understanding what you are getting in a package from a veteran. and then helping the veterans understand and really capitalize on what they can do. >> these military couples do plenty of work here in alaska. there there is still lots of time for fun. i will put my fly fishing skills up against the wounded warriors. >> i got a fish. >> time to take the polar plunge. who will dive into that icy
water? >> i did mention to greta that this was a swim team. if she wanted to be a team player to come out and join our team.
sometimes make you do unexpected things like jumping into a freezing cold lake. these wounded warriors and many of their spouses decide to take the polar plunge and they wanted to take me down with them. so what are your plans for the day? >> we are going to be climbing to the mountaintop,
me and my wife and one guide. >> you are going to beat your husband to the top, aren't you? >> of course i am. >> any doubt at all? >> no doubt. >> do you have any doubts? >> no. the deal is if she beats me you have to jump in the lake with her. >> you know, i'm rooting for you. that water is cold. >> that's part of the deal though. >> as a journalist, i need to do some research before taking the plunge. >> how cold is it? >> it's warm. >> you are a liar. >> about 50 degrees. >> i will go if you go. [ laughter ] >> i will consider it. clothes or no clothes? >> clothes. >> who is challenging to you jump in the lake with them. >> they keep saying they want me to join the polar bear club. i don't know how long can i dodge it but anyway it looks
cold. >> finally, it was go time. >> i don't know what's going on. all i know is they want to do the polar plunge. and my daughter sissy is shaming me into doing. this so i'm doing it i'm going to do it all of my friends here. we are going to jump in. >> i have my telephone with me. i don't want to break my telephone. otherwise i would be happy to do it. >> reverend graham, it's been nice knowing you. [screams] [cheers] [cheers and applause]
>> oh my god. i didn't know that water was that cold. >> you are going in. >> [cheers] oh my government. >> that was fantastic. would have jumped but i had to do the camera work. >> you don't have the camera now. [ laughter ] >> today climbed a mountain and you beat them to the top of the mountain. >> i did. i beat them to the want to mountain. >> i said if you got to the top of the mountain first i would jump in the water i didn't quite do it. >> no. but you were holding the
camera. >> you are so nice to defend me after giving me -- after teasing me about it this guy is worth keeping. >> the polar plunge was not for me. but anyone can do fly fishing, right? >> the captain here, he has a little special creek here. he says the fishing is hot. >> i caught something but it is someone else's line. >> first fish of the day? >> yep. first fish of the day. >> are they going to get bigger? >> they will. much bigger. >> how badly do you want to outfish your husband? >> super bad. >> i'm so competitive.
>> such a relief. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> what have you got here? what's going on? >> we have got a beautiful lake trout. >> whoa. >> i got a fish. i got a fish. that was so bad. that was the meanest ever. >> how many fish you have caught already? >> five. >> five? >> yes. >> here we go. pretty good size? >> what is that? >> pretty close, yeah. >> you probably are the champion fisherman this week? >> i am. i got 11 today so tawas very
exciting. >> pretty unbelievable. they were biting good though. >> our brave patriots fought to secure iraq and afghanistan. what do they think of the chaos spreading there now? >> just hard to watch. like watching your house burn. produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. yourturn night into day.ng. conquer the globe. stop floods. now she could use a hand, so she can keep living on her own.

december of 2011 the u.s. pulled last combat troops out of iraq. last than three years later the country is dedescending into chaos. isis declared part of iraq islamic state. killing christians and others. >> the war on terror is not over by a long shot. just because you have pulled out of iraq. you see the chaos that is now in iraq. that's going to come back
again sometime in the future. maybe not -- maybe the obama administration will not be dealing with it but whoever the president is down the road will have to deal with this again. >> the u.s. launched air strikes according to iraqi security forces in retaliation, isis beheaded an american journalist and it threatens to do the same to other itch american prisoners. so farther president has said he is not going to put u.s. boots back on the ground in iraq. >> is there any sort of heart break as you watch what's going on in iraq and afghanistan at this point? >> i have to be careful what i say because i'm still in the military. but, for me, i was there in mosul fell. i remember all the work we did to regain it i kind of make it like watching your house burn. you know, you are standing back and it's burning. there is nothing you can do. you know, i have lost some friends over there that tour and was a very rough tour. and, you know, i just kind of -- i have talked to a lot of different guys that's
been there around the same time. it's just hard to watch. >> how about you, steph? >> it is very difficult. freedom is very precious and when you are on this side of it you understand it more and more. >> it's a little troubling. a little -- makes me a little bit angry but, you know, in the back of my mind, i guess, you know, you just kind of know it could happen. you know what i mean? like i said, it's a little bit frustrating to me. i just deal with it. >> you know, we did so much to help them and they didn't want us to stay. they wanted us out. now, when it's all fall apart, they want us back. and, you know, it be sort of breaks your heart, you know, because once bitable, do you want to be bit twice? you know, how much is enough? >> president obama plans to end the combat mission in
afghanistan this december. but a recent insider attack murdered an american two star general worrying many that the u.s. is leaving afghanistan vulnerable to extremists. militants waiting to cause the kind of chaos and violence now seen in iraq. >> islamist fanatics are there. as you know the statistics are are and the polls are are that these numbers are growing worldwide. the world terror is not finished. there is going to be more increase. there is going to be more suffering on our part. and we need to pray for our military. we need to pray for our leaders and pray for these young men and women who defend our freedom. >> from the astros cities of war to dealing with injuries back home, these brave patriots and their spouses face an uphill battle. >> i wanted to just leave the whole situation and get on with their life. >> did alaska help mend their snarges

alaska set on spectacular way out in the wilderness. lodge stocked with motor boats. kayaks. there is a tackle shed for time flies and a huge mess hall with five star quality food there are first class accommodations for 10 wounded warriors and their spouses. the lodge is much more than a nature retreat. it's a place where couples come to reconnect. >> it saved our marriage. probably would have been going home divorced. so planning for the worst but got the best. >> you know, you never want to lose something that you love so much and it took a lot for me to realize that she does want to be there. she does want to help me. she is the love of my life. >> is this week a good jump start for you? do you think this is going
to really change your lives? >> this is definitely changing our lives. we both had pushed ourselves away from friends, family and god for so long. and just -- it's been amazing. we have reconnected. why are making wonderful wonderful friends that i he know we are going to have for life. and we recommitted ourselves to jesus christ as night as well. >> i want these couples it know that life does go on and that we're going to stand behind them. one of the things we try to do, greta, is after the soldier and his spouse have come. when they get back home, is to follow through with them. we have chaplains that call them, you know, how are you? how are the kids? you have been home now a couple of months. how is it going? >> it's very nice to see that it's not a catch and release program. they follow through and they stay with you. >> they don't think of themselves as heroes.
and they see other people say well, that guy has got it worse than i have got it and a they don't want pity. they don't want you to feel sorry for them. chuck was happy just to, you know, do it on his own. proud of guys like that. and you want to do more for them. >> military life is tough, isn't it? >> it is. >> do you regret it? >> no. >> do you regret it? >> no, ma'am. i'm a first generation american. parents came from cuba. and i am very proud to be an american. i would do it again. somebody has got to make the sacrifice. >> years ago when i took over samaritan's purse, a man by the name of bob pierce who founded it i said bob, how do you choose who you can help and how can't help in life? he said franklin, can you cannot help everybody, but god will bring across your path those that you can
help. and god will hold you responsible for those that he brings across your path. >> what they give you here is the most important thing any wounded person is you can give them that short time of being normal like everybody else again. it doesn't matter what you look like or how you are hurt same as everybody else. >> god has interseconded our lives. >> he he wants us to love them and care for them. that's what he will do. and god loves each and every one of us and i want them to know that and i want them to know that we love them, too.
bicyclists still account for fewer than 1% of all commuters. that will it for this friday edition of rove's conjecture is based on fajts. hillary clinton did go after a concussion in 2012. and she showed strange behavior in her testimony of the benghazi scandal. she had a mastery of facts all while wearing those stupid glasses. these things are like orthopedic shoes for your face. you would have to be brain damaged to wear those. or nearsighted. and hillary's shown signs of mental frailty before. look at these pants she wore in the 1970s.
girl, that is a traumatic fashion injury. >> good morning, everything. it is may 16th. end of the week. with us on set to celebrate, washington anchor for bbc world news america and co-author of "the confidence code," katty kay. and also msnbc political analyst eugene robinson. and associated press's julie. first here's an instagram. >> retiring as always. >> but willie, it's just mind boggling "the new york times" has conducted themselves in this. first of all the firing, and then the follow-up to the firing offering statements that you
would think a third rate politician would offer only to get punctured by organizations like "the times." do they not expect that their faults and misleading statements wouldn't get blown out of the water by people like ken auletta? >> ken auletta we had on after his initial post. he updated that post yesterday. part of the argument from "the times" is said it was not true that abramson was paid less than his predecessor. ken with his sources found the numbers. and it turns out that as executive editor jill abramson's starting salary was $475,000 compared to bill keller's that same year $559,000. >> i'm not good with math with alabama, but what is that? like $70,000? $80,000? >> $85,000 difference for the same job. >> and you dig in deeper, and
doesn't ken also find out that jill actually made less money in earlier positions than men she was supervising. >> ken auletta reports she made $398,000 which was less than that of a male managing editor for news operations. >> go ahead. >> i was just going to say that in the newspaper hierarchy, they're running the news gathering operations and supervising reporters would be expected to make more. it's a more crucial job. obviously the other job is important too. but poorly handled, i'd say. >> and then you go, katty, even beyond the actual firing and the cause for the firing, "the times" puts out a statement from their fearless leader who says, well, her asking for more money had absolutely nothing to do with her being fired.
and then ken auletta talks to the spokesperson for "the times" who at first argued there was no real compensation gap. but then conceded, quote, this was a contributing factor to the firing of abramson because it was part of a pattern. and that incident was jill finally giving up and having to hire a lawyer to go in and try to get equal pay at "the new york times." it's stunning that "the times" all day yesterday were telling everybody inside and outside of the newsroom that this had nothing to do with her being fired, the fact she came and actually asked to be paid the same as a man. and by last night, ken auletta and the new yorker, the spokesperson to "the times" admits this was a contributing factor because it was a pattern.
it's a stunning story. stunning mismanagement. >> stunning mismanagement. and i think that "the times" is going to feel a backlash. i wouldn't be surprised if women subscribers to "the times" are looking closely this morning at their subscriptions to that newspaper. certainly women within the organization i've spoken to say they're blind sided by this. that there's a real sense they've been let down as women in the organization. that there's still an old boys culture at "the times." they are stunned. i had one "new york times" reporter woman saying she was very depressed by what happened. they're very disappointed in the organization. the brutality of the fierg alone. >> how it was handled, the brutality of the firing. two guys sitting together, one guy not liking how a woman inside was treating him. he complains. the other guy fires the lady who
had to get a lawyer to try to get paid the same. who had been underpaid her entire stellar tenure at "the new york times." and then again the most damning blow for the men and women is that "the times" leadership put out statements that just weren't truthful. "the new york times" lied trying to cover up their own mess. saying there's no compensation problem. >> that's not a factor and it is now acknowledged to be a factor. "the times" frankly was being very cute in arthur salzburger's statement about the total compensation. apparently one has to surmise lumping in any bonus she might have gotten any stock. which of course are all dependent on what kind of year the newspaper is having. and so i know, for example, "the washington post" when manager's bonus was cut in half or didn't come at all because of lean
years in the newspaper business. keller, her predecessor was in that office for a lot of lean years. so it's possible you could look at the figures and say her stock options eventually might have been worth more than his. but it's salary to salary. >> they're being too clever. >> yeah. >> when she has to go hire a lawyer, gene, i mean, she has to hire a lawyer to try to get equal pay for the position her male counterpart had. >> if you recall the way the firing was handled, you use the word brutality. and i'm afraid that's probably kind of right. last time arthur salzburger had to fire an executive editor, that was after the worst plagiarism scandal in the newspaper. one of the worst in the modern history of american journalism along with ours of janet cook.
but he was given a sendoff in the newsroom and the staff got to applaud and recitation of many triumphs as executive editor. jill abramson had none of that. eight pulitzer prizes in her years there. >> she didn't want to be there for that. >> you can mention it. >> you could rightly ask how "the new york times" defends now that we have the salary numbers. that spokesperson for "the new york times" says you don't look at salary, you look at total compensation which includes bonuses, stock grants, and other long-term incentives. you can't deny and "the new york times" hasn't denied this yet that the baseline salary was much less. >> but you do look at the salary. the other things, it's not like keller didn't have the opportunity. the paper just wasn't doing as well for the bonuses.
when jill got there the paper started doing better. in large part because keller did some great work and set it on a strong path. but it's not like they gave her -- >> i think there's also the issue, the fact that character has been raised in the case of jill abramson. i can't think of a senior male executive that has been fired on character grounds or where character has been raised as part of the issue. they're fired for competence or lack of success on the job but not for being described as pushy or aggressive. but certainly character has been raised in the case of this woman that are not generally raised. >> in an earlier story it was said she demanded to know why certain stories competitors had were not in "the new york times." shocked. i'm shocked. >> lord forbid. >> i have never demanded that when i was an editor. i never asked my staff why a newspaper had a story.
who would do such a thing? >> all right. so julie, let me go to you here. i think it's stunning that, you know, "the times" first says there's no real compensation gap, but then again said when a woman asked to get the same amount of money as her male counterpart for the same job, that is spokeswoman for "the new york times" would say, quote, this incident was a contributing factor because it was part of a pattern. that's -- men kick down doors and demand raises every day. i've just never heard of any man being fired because he asked to be paid the same as coworker. >> absolutely. the whole conversation is just so tough to even listen to as a younger woman in journalism. i look to people like jill,
other women who have risen through the ranks. it's still a very small number. the combination of the numbers that we're seeing now on salary and as katty said, just the adjectives that are being used to describe her. these are adjectives that we hear come up with powerful women a lot. you always feel there is some sort of undertone there that if they're being used about a man would be used as a positive description. i give "the new york times" reporter who is are covering this story a lot of credit. i think they're doing a really good job in a really tough situation where you're having to cover your own employer doing something that has not been handled well at all. >> except for the fact, julie, that they've got a guy from another magazine that's scooping them. >> sure. but they're trying to get information out of people that are obviously giving contradictory statements or when you look at the original statements using language that
is clearly very precise in order to put a more positive spin on these numbers. >> again, i mean, chris christie had done something like this in his office, "the times" would have shredded him to pieces. >> and "the times" claiming disclosure. they have to do better on transparency. >> to point out one final quick thing, a few years ago i could have listed any number of female top editors in major papers in the country. there was a good long list. they're all gone. there's one i can think of, mindy, editor of "the miami herald." great editor.
but just a bunch of top female editors have either moved on or in the case of jill abramson have been dismissed. >> we need a column on what's happening at national newspapers from you. should we move on now to other news. there's now a potential criminal component to the controversy surrounding the va hospital in phoenix. federal prosecutors are looking into allegations the medical center kept a secret waiting list to cover up for long delays for veterans looking for care. the report claims it led to deaths. those disclosures came from the inspector general followed by the testimony. by eric shinseki. shinseki was grilled by the senate veterans affairs committee. he told lawmakers he's as angry as anyone. >> any allegation, any adverse
incident like this makes me mad as hell. i could use stronger language, but i won't. if any allegations are true, they're completely unacceptable. if any are substantiated by the inspector general, we will act. >> do you believe that you're ultimately responsible for all this? >> i am. >> would you explain to me after knowing all this information why you should not resign? >> well, i tell you, senator, that i came here to make things better for veterans. i intend to continue this mission until i'm satisfied. either that goal or i'm told by the commander in chief that my time has been served. >> willie, he looked mad as hell there. >> maybe he didn't show the fire some people wanted to see. he's a four star general. does he care about veterans?
of course he does. but right now his best isn't good enough. it's clear to me a lot of people think he should step aside, it's not clear to me anyone could fix the bureaucracy at the va. as we saw those pictures yesterday with stacks and stacks of paper that looks like an office from 40 years ago, there's not a system in place to process these claims. we have great doctors working at the va, great medical personnel who in in cases, you know, fore went other careers to make good money. they cannot handle the sheer claims of people coming in and people are dying because of it. >> if you actually get in the system, there are positive things said about the system once you're in it. but it's the backlog. and it's the fact they're operating in 19th century filing with stacks and stacks. >> exactly. there are a few -- we've heard before of a few corners of the federal government that still operate this way in this system.
but the va is a big thing. and with a vital and important mission. you know, that it hasn't had had more of a technological upgrade. and that it didn't anticipate that when, for example, we're going to have two simultaneous foreign wars, we're going to have a lot of veterans coming home, they're going to need a kind of medical treatment that frankly wouldn't have needed in the past because a lot simply would have died in earlier wars. but because of quicker sort of triage that survived with traumatic brain injury and other kinds of problems, that the va needs to handle it. >> you're right. the actual system when you get into it, is one of the most popular bits of the american health care system.
people always talk about european socialism when it comes to health care. but this government-run part of the health care system is one of the bits that people actually like when they manage to start getting into it. >> yeah. they just aren't having good luck getting into it. we'll see what happens. i'm going to ask before we go a break, gene, i'm looking at the front of "the new york times." it is a paper i read every day. if i had "the washington post," i'm sure i'd read that too. but it's a paper i read every day along with "the wall street journal." i don't see any article on the -- >> b-1. >> you say b-1. >> yeah. >> you're right. it's not on the front page. >> it moved back to the business front today. >> to the left. >> "times" seeks to reassure its staff. okay. has a strong -- okay. strong counternarrative that emerged in the news media
including on "morning joe." and "the new yorker." so the question now is, you know, ken auletta, that came last night. if you're at "the post" and you're the editor of the editorial page and you find out the publisher of your news put out a statement that was false, what's the news meeting this morning? >> a little crazy. >> "the times" has been covering up the truth for the past two days about salary. they've been putting out statements that are clever. do you not have a responsibility as a newspaper person to go after your paper? >> i can pretty much guarantee that this conversation is being had and has been had at "the times." and that the newsroom of "the times," no inside information here, but based on my experience
at "the post," they absolutely feel they have a responsibility to "a," get to the bottom of it, and "b," to really do some probing journalism. not an easy thing to do, but they have the mandate to do that or they better have the mandate to do that. at "the post" when we've had horrible, embarrassing things like the janet cook episode in 1981, you know, we set loose no holds barred to do what ended up being a withering indict of management. >> which i'm sure margaret will end up doing at "the times." >> well, i am sure she would. >> but the question is day-to-day how do you -- because you've got the greatest reputation in the world at this newspaper, the greatest reporters in the world at this newspaper and they have been set

incredible. it was 102 in downtown l.a. one of the hottest temperatures ever recorded in l.a. still fire danger today. it will be about 90 and then 70s over the weekend. your forecast, today is the worth of it with the travel trouble in the east. by the time we get into saturday and sunday, the weather pattern finally returns to normal springlike conditions. 60s, 70s, 80s. not expecting any tornado outbreaks any time soon. just a bit of shower activity on sunday down there in the southeast. but bottom line, if you're traveling this morning around washington, d.c., this is what reagan international airport looks like. more "morning joe" when we come back. ♪

i say excuse me, is this 1988? this is the same exact thing we were hearing about japan in 1988 and 1989. how does china avoid making the same mistakes japan made? >> well, what is fascinating is anyone who thinks back to 1988 and '89 remembers this as japan is number one. that was the title of the book. and was exactly the same hyperbole around china right now. and japan faces a huge problem which is a property bubble, a credit bubble which makes what happened in america almost look modest. they face a horrendously difficult job in trying to find a way to deflate that property bubble without creating a real economic recession. frankly people might say what do we care about china? does it matter if they have a property bubble that goes burst? one thing we learned in 2008 is when mortgages went wrong in
america, the impact was felt across the world. if china's property bubble goes bust, believe me, americans will feel it. >> willie, as you like to say when it comes to these property bubbles, if someone sneezes in beijing, they're getting a cold in birmingham, england. >> yeah. as the old saying goes. in birmingham. >> they love the governor. >> we've heard so much over the last few years that china holds so much of our debt, that they have us over a barrel. does that remain true and how big a prob is that for the united states? >> well, what is clear is the united states and china are locked in this very tight embrace. and frankly, neither can afford to see the other economy go down. because they are so inter-dependent right now. so unfortunately what happened in china does matter. the chinese authorities have actually got a pretty good pragmatic plan for dealing with
these challenges. in fact, there was a survey of executives done a couple years ago that suggested that american chief executives have more respect for the ability of the chinese government to come up with a proactive plan than they do for their own congress. the question is can china actually manage these? >> i guess china can come up with a plan and actual implement it. we can't come up with a 40-day plan. >> and we don't have the power to take people out back and shoot them either. >> we have to deal with congress and the other party there is an issue between japan and china. to what extent does the fact we're dealing with the over-population of people consumers who have been given access to markets make the parallels between japan in the '90s and china today not totally accurate. >> it's the size issue. and the question of whether
china has enough resources to deal with any property bubble. but there's something to think about, when pointing out the consumers, americans think of china as a competitive threat because of all those jobs going out there to chinese factories. if china actually does carry on growing and there isn't the property bubble crash, it could be a fantastic source of demand for american-made goods. and that's something everyone should celebrate. >> let's look at another of our must reads. charles krauthammer writing about the sound and fury and tweet. in hash tagging one's indignation about some outrage abroad an exercise in merle narcissism or worthy new way of standing up to the bad guys. it's simply embarrassing when the state department spokeswoman tweets the #united for ukraine. that is nothing but preening
rhetorical fatuousness. it has betrayed both its impotence enindifference. but if you're an individual citizen without power, if you lack access to media, drones, or special forces, then hash tagging your solidarity is fine. >> growing frustration in all corners from an administration that doesn't seem to be able to do anything but lead from behind on the international stage. do you sense a growing frustration in the house that you cover? >> well, there is definitely a growing frustration there, but i think it's more a frustration with what they see as the politpublic and the classes misunderstanding of the foreign policy. there's a lot of work did being done on a speech that the president is giving at west point at commencement there.
they're casting this as a speech that's supposed to explain his foreign policy to the public. at this point in the presidency if you're having to give speeches about foreign policy, if you're in good shape here. this hash tag and twitter is fascinating because people say what's the point of it. i go back to the situation with nigeria, though. i think that without twitter, without what people were doing on social media, we would not even be talking about the options available to the u.s. it simply was not in the public dialogue. >> you know what's so fascinating, preparing for this speech, the criticism of the obama administration from foreign leaders at least over the past five years has been the fact that i've heard one diplomat after another, one foreign leader after another say they think they can give the speech and the speech is the ends instead of a means to the
end. so they go home after they make the speech, that's it. you're talking about a response. they're all prepping for a speech at the end of may. that would provide little comfort to foreign leaders, i think. >> absolutely. this does tend to be sort of the go-to solution for this white house. what they see as the solution is there's a problem, there's a misunderstanding, a misconception about their policy, let's give a piece and explain it. i will have to cover this speech and i wonder how much will be different, how much will be new, and how much it will clarify about a policy we've all been covering for five and a half years already. >> and the next day he'll really turn the focus to jobs. thank you for being here. congratulations on your promotion that's coming up. if you want to make sure you get paid the same -- >> i will ask mika. >> i was go i think to say ask mika. >> exactly. >> have her go in first. it's scary. well, thank you. and congratulations.
coming up, as the gop moves to limit the number of their 2016 debates, we've got a perfect example of why willie thinks there should be more of them. willie, this is good stuff. >> look at the gloves. >> i had those gloves. ent, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need. well, knowing gives you confidence. start building your confident retirement today.

"the times" is now waging a pr battle to save face after reports she was dismissed because she complained about receiving less pay than her male predecessor. yesterday they tried to reassure staffers that there was no foul play writing in a memo, quote, it is simply not true that jill's compensation was less than her predecessors. her pay is comparable than that to executive editors. in fact, in 2013 her last full year in the role, her total compensation package was more
than 10% higher than that of her predecessor bill keller in his last full year as executive editor which was back in 2010. it was also higher than his compensation than in any previous year. but the new yorker's ken auletta writes arthur salzburger and abramson had a fraught relationship almost from the start of her tenure as editor. he found her lacking in finesse in management of people in the paper. but clearly a last straw came a few weeks ago when abramson decided to hire a lawyer to complain that her salary was not equal to that of her predecessor bill keller. abe romson's starting salary in 2007 was $85,000 less than keller's at the time he stepped
down. abramson learned she made less than her male counterpart. and salary as bureau chief was $100,000 less than her predecessor in the same position. she hasn't spoken publicly about her firing, but her daughter responded with this photo on instagram highlighting what she calls her mom's new hobby with the hash tag pushy. >> lets get a quick comment from you. i guess the thing that surprises me the most, well, the unequal pay surprises me for jill doing the same work men have been doing. but how clumsy -- let's start at the top with the publisher. how clumsy the firing was. some people think she was pushy. well, they knew he was pushy before they hired her. they knew she was tough before they hired her. they knew what kind of newsroom they were going to run before they hired her.
and then to have a clumsy statement put out and ken auletta chop it to little bits last night with his second post, i don't understand. i'll ask you what i asked gene. don't the reporters inside "the times" now have a responsibility to go after their own publisher and piranhas? and tear away until they get at the truth. >> i'm working on my predecessor and mum. i want those both in my vocabulary. i don't know all the facts. i think there's confusion. i don't think that it's really a problem. it might just be structured differently. >> she hired a lawyer because she was not getting paid the same. >> jill is one of the best journalists of our generation. and jill is a very tough person. and there have been plenty of top editors that rubbed people
the wrong way. i think that ushering her out not making -- giving her honor of worked in that tough job for a long time and doing well, i think that was a big mistake. and i think now they have to engage on the facts of her pay. they have to. they have no choice. the credibility of the paper as a public institution and the credibility of themselves as an employer is absolutely at issue. and they have lost the pr battle. but i'll say again we don't know all the facts. my suspicion is that they could not be so brazen as to not be telling the truth. that her total compensation was greater or comparable -- >> look at the words. the words are of politician training. >> then in the second round she said they overall more than bill. >> they also said in the first statement that her asking for more compensation had nothing to do with it. then in the second article last night they admitted that her getting a lawyer to get equal compensation as men was the last straw.
>> now they've taken that back too. >> oh. >> i'm not channelling ken's reporting and i'm not saying -- but i am saying we don't know all the facts. >> you're telling us nothing here. this is herald ford, i agree with all sides stuff. okay? >> i bet you that she made as much as bill keller did in overall compensation. >> one detail. one factual detail because i was noticing those statements. "the times" refers to keller's compensation in 2010. she took over in 2011. we know from auletta's piece what keller made in 2011. so there is a one-year discrepancy there in terms of comparing these numbers. so again, my question, i would be asking my publisher are we being cute here by saying 2010 instead of comparing to 2011. >> let's move to the next story.
okay. go. >> the other thing that would be interesting to find out is why on april 28th, the ceo sent jill abramson this e-mail saying i'm going to try to convince you to stay on for two more years and two weeks later she's out. what happened in that intervening period? >> asked for salary and then she's kicked out. >> let's be honest about one thing. morale at the paper are not great now. and their digital efforts have not been good under her leadership. so there are other reasons why besides -- >> we could debate this. they're making money off the digital sites now. and that's another thing. the publisher puts his son in to do a hit job on jill abramson and what kind of digital leadership she's providing. >> morale at the paper was not good under jill. >> if only it could be as good as it was under howard raines.
>> he was seen as a bully. neither were fired for character issues. he lost his job after plagiarism. >> he lost it because of plagiarism. not because he was a bully around the newsroom. everybody knew he was a bully around the newsroom. and why did the publisher hire another person that's seen as a, quote, bully around the newsroom if he doesn't like bullies around the newsroom? and then how can he come back a couple years later and say we can't keep her here because she was a bully around the newsroom. when that was her reputation that she was tough as hell. >> i find it hard to find any males fired for character issues. let's move on. republicans are looking to assert ahead of the movement gathered in washington to express concern over the party's future. among them senators ted cruz and
mike lee. along with representatives from a number of national organizations. in many cases establishment candidates are winning the day. thom tillis took down his tea party challenger in north carolina. and more establishment republicans look to be in good shape. in colorado, kansas, and kentucky. in georgia the leading candidates are both considered more moderate than their challengers. conservatives are now worried about a, quote, softened message that could with attempts to broaden their appeal. activists are calling on the party to recommit to principles on lower taxes, same-sex marriage, a balanced budget, and immigration. as ted cruz frames it, quote, some say yea our team is winning. but we win when we stand for principle and we lose when we give into washington status. >> like last fall. the government shoutdown. more moral victories like that.
anyway, the thing is i like at a lot of these candidates wanting republican primaries and they are still conservatives. they're not redefining rape as republican candidates did over the past couple years. none of them are going on tv saying i am not a witch. these are mainstream conservative men and women that could win a general election and send harry reid home. if you were a republican right now, your goal is to send harry reid home and you're not thinking like jim demint once said i'd rather have 30 people in the senate that think like me than a majority. >> there are up to 13 states where it looks like they'll have nominees who are plausible candidates that can win. who aren't so far saying outrageous things and they're plenty conservatives. there are no arlen specters being nominated. so the party, i think at this
point has to be pretty happy. i think a lot of these divisions are overstated. it's a conservative party on economics. that's what the party is running on. >> i have no problem, either, katty kay, with conservatives getting out there and doing exactly what they were doing yesterday and pushing. because obviously i went after establishment republicans forever because they spent too much money and turned their back on core principles. but right now there are a lot of republicans looking to the election saying let's nominate people who can actually win elections. because if we don't win elections, we can't shape the country, we can't shape the court, we can't control the senate. >> the other thing i'm hearing is republicans are specifically looking for people that are seen as people who can get things done. and that actually an element of cooperation and effectiveness is a prime thing that voters -- voters are looking for strategists as well. >> we shall see. okay. >> there is now a potential criminal component to the controversy surrounding the va hospital in phoenix. federal prosecutors are looking into allegations the medical
center kept a secret waiting list to cover up for long days for care. led to dozens of preventable deaths. those disclosures came from the inspector general following testimony yesterday by the department secretary eric shinseki. shinseki was grilled by the senate veterans affair committee. he told lawmakers he is as angry as anyone. >> any allegation, any adverse incident like this makes me mad as hell. i could use stronger language here, but in deference to the committee, i won't. if any allegations are true, they're completely unacceptable. if any are substantiated by the inspector general, we will act. >> with us now from my hometown of pensacola, florida, the chairman of the house committee on veterans affairs, congressman jeff miller.
so good to have you here. >> good morning, joe. >> how's our hometown? how's pensacola doing after the flooding? >> well, folks are getting back to normal. unfortunately it's going to be a long way to go before people are actually some of them back in their homes. your hold house on piedmont was flooded. had about five foot of water in it. >> it's unbelievable. you talk about a river runs through it, gene. it was literally just a river. >> never happened before. >> never had standing water even in hurricanes. let's talk for the reason we called you. that was shinseki's testimony on capitol hill. what did you hear yesterday that you're going act on? >> i saw a very terrible appearance and performance by the secretary of veterans
affairs. i don't know that he is capable of making the change that needs to be made to the bureaucracy that exists out there. they are still in a defensive mode. they're not coming forward and telling all of the facts. yesterday now we hear that three other people have put on leave in gainesville at the va hospital down there for keeping a second waiting list in the mental health area. >> what i don't understand, we had john on, there seemed to be quite a few people, jeff, who are circling the wagons for a system that is just indefensible. for a secretary whose record over the past couple years is indefensible as well. we've been talking about this, you and i privately now for a year or two. you've been talking about the terrible challenges that veterans are facing and what you're doing to try to help out. but things aren't getting better fast enough. isn't it time for a change at the top? >> well, i've said that i'm not
ready to call for the secretary's resignation, but yesterday it's very clear that one of two things are happening. either the secretary is not being told the truth by his subordinates and i think that is probably more so the case than anything else. or he just isn't able to move the bureaucracy of 330,000 employees in a direction that is much more acceptable for veterans that they're supposed to be serving. >> let's bring in our pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski. jim, you talked about general shinseki just didn't seem to get it. you look at that testimony yesterday and he just almost a flat effect there. and i saw exactly what you were talking about. i'm sure more questions are going to be raised and the biggest question is why does the obama administration want him to stay in this position after
failing as much as he did over the past couple years? >> i must say each time shinseki says he's not going to resign, he sounds more determined as opposed to just saying i serve at the pleasure of the president. you know, as we've said before, the va is the most entrenched bureaucracy probably in the u.s. government. and i talked to several veterans there at the hearing yesterday who said they've become so frustrated at their inability to get access to the va medical system that they've abandoned the system entirely and gone off in an entirely different direction. and i had a very brief conversation with senator john mccain in the hallway up there in the dirksen building. and he said the only solution to this, we can't dissolve the va, we don't have enough money to fund everything that the va needs, is to provide veterans with some kind of alternative.
some kind of federal programs that are alternative to the va. and already one veteran i talked to said that he worked it so he could leave the va and re-enter the military's tricare which in his case provided about the same level of care, but it gave him instantaneous access. and actually lower prescription costs. so i think senator mccain has hit on something here. whether you get rid of shinseki or not may not make a difference at all unless that entire system itself is revamped. >> mark? >> congressman, i know you're not calling for the secretary to accept down, but give us a couple names of people you think could step in today, take over the department and fix this. >> well, i don't think it's time really to talk about people that would replace secretary shinseki. i think the important thing is it is such a large bureaucracy that one single person may not be able to do it.
in fact, we've got the give the veterans an option to get the health care where they want to get it when they want to get it. and the old method of forcing veterans to go where the va wants them to go in giving them the health care when the va wants them to get it is obviously failing the veterans. >> quickly, jeff, you also talked about more problems in central florida. give us a little bit more information about that. >> what the press is reporting down there now is that the administrators at the hospital in gainesville said, look. if there's a list out there, if there's a secret list or second list, come forward. we will give you amnesty, nobody will be penalized for it. which is not their job to give them amnesty. but, in fact, they found a list. the group that was down there that was doing the audit found a list and it dealt with mental health provision. >> man. it is a mess. jeff miller, thank you so much. we appreciate you coming on. and hope to see you very soon in pensacola or in d.c. to talk about this some more.

of facing hillary clinton in the 2016 race has suddenly reached godzilla nearing tokyo proportions. the election is more than two years away and clinton hasn't decided whether to run. but none of this matters to those launching the arsenal at her. they move beyond a record to simply making up stuff. the scurvy thing. >> like the scurvy thing. that's a good example. you're hearing more attacks on hillary clinton now than you are on president obama app and i think the reason is obvious. benghazi has now shifted to being all about hillary clinton. and lindsey graham yesterday up there with his -- demanding to
know thinking it's suspicious saying she was fatigued and didn't want to go on the sunday show after benghazi. because as we all know, she's a woman who never suffers from fatigue. scurvy maybe, but never fatigue. it's gotten silly, but i think it reflects the fact that at this point republicans don't seem to have a candidate who will necessarily give up much of a run if she wins. >> david gregory, there were obviously if hillary clinton we'll learn more about her health as will all the candidates. but if nothing else, this reminds us it's going to be a long two and a half years waiting to see if she runs and when she does run, things from a couple decades ago. >> this all happens before she's actually in. i think there's a couple things going on. i think, one, there are these shots across the bow. perhaps republicans would like to persuade her not to get into the race. while as eugene said, they're
trying to solidify both the qualities in a candidate that they want in finding those candidates. but i also think there's an attempt here to fire up the base in the midterm year. and the clintons are able to do that for them. still, they believe, especially around issues like benghazi or in the case of rove. i think just putting something in that he really wants to spread. and become a question that gets discussed as we're discussing here that starts to raise any kind of doubt. and again, make it very clear to the clintons, plural, that this is what's coming. she may not have a rough ride in the primarying, but republicans are going to start early and start often on making this very personal. >> chuck, karl's got mixed reviews about what he did. of all the efforts trying to slow down hillary clinton, maybe intimidate her or scare her out of the race, which ones do you think republicans see as most
effective now in terms of organizations and lines of attack? >> well, look. they're trying very hard, i think, to troo i to persuade her not to run. to me i think they've tipped their hand. look at nigeria. the nigeria school girls. what did the story become among some on the right. why didn't hillary clinton put boko haram on the terrorist list. it is, you name the story. one, they don't -- look. the side effect if she does run, republicans will say hey they've at least called into question her tenure as secretary of state. what was an asset in the middle of it, she was seen as an asset. her time was seen as an asset. they can possibly neutralize it or turn it into a liability. i think this whole strategy is about hoping against hope that she somehow gets talked out of doing it and she decides i don't
need this. i don't want to go through this. the clintons are ready. all right? it was a very aggressive pushback. forget what clinton did. he had a lighter touch, a little more humor. but the statement they put out. that told you we're not going to have a hope and change election in '08. we're going to have an ugly fight, '88, '92. think that. and the clinton team seems ready. they seem ready to fight that way. it's going to be an ugly race. i'm not looking forward to that tone and tenor in '16. >> president clinton did have a light touch, but i have not heard him revved up like that since he defended himself in '92. >> and he conflated everything. you attack her, look, it's just like white water. it's just like this. >> exactly. >> right. but they also decided, chuck to your point, which is that they
were going to go big in a response. they were not going to laugh it off. they were not going to do the typical response. on roe to send the message. this is how it's going to be if you come at us. and look at the duelling images. what are the excerpts she released about her book? it's about motherhood, the relationship with her own mother. this is still kind of the ongoing effort at who is her persona? how is she defining herself to the world and to the electorate? and you've got these competing visions of that. >> gene, you get the sense that any of this gives hillary clinton pause about running? i mean, she doesn't strike me as the kind of person that's terribly worried about an attack from karl rove. do you think she's thinking twice about whether or not she wants to go up there this process again? >> this is not her first rodeo. i don't think she's going to be intimidated out of the race.
clearly the clintons have been laying the ground work. and she's looking at it very hard. but i think she'll make the decision. and it won't be made for her by these kind of attacks. >> thank you so much. chuck, we'll be watching you on "the daily rundown" at 9:00 a.m. david, thank you as well. do you have coming up on "meet the press" this weekend? >> we'll talk more about this and the future of the republican party against hillary clinton with reince priebus. also claire mccaskill and more on the va as well. >> all right. can't wait for that. thank you so much. greatly appreciated. and still ahead, the world cup is just around the corner. nike is trying to become the biggest sponsor. we'll talk shoe wars and the billions of dollars involved. ♪ so i c

a double digit lead over tom cotton. with 69% of the registered voters in arkansas believing the country to be headed in the wrong direction, incumbent and challenger alike will need to make the case as to how they can make the change. in georgia, michelle nunn finds herself locked in a dead heat with her likely gop opponents. next tuesday the republicans will nominate their candidate. david perdue leading a tight field of contenders. in kentucky, minority leader mitch mcconnell has a comfortable lead over matt bevin in the primary. the general election numbers show a tighter race with mcconnell and alison lundergan grimes. showing the opinions of registers voters. voter enthusiasm is the lowest in 20 years. come this fall, the emphasis turns from registered voters to likely voters. it's motivation that will be the real determining factor. guys, back to you. >> and it is motivation.

$479,000 and keller's salary, $559,000. >> i'm not good with math but what is that? >> $85,000. >> $85,000 difference in the same job. >> in her previous job as managing editor she made $398,000, which was less than that of a male managing editor. >> in the newspaper hierarchy, the managing editor is running the news gathering operation and supervising reporters would be expected to make more. it's a more crucial job. obviously the other job is important, too. but poorly handled, i would say.
>> and then you go beyond, katty, the actual firing and the cause for the firing, the times puts out a statement from their fearless leader who says, well, her asking for more money had absolutely nothing to do with her being fired. and then ken aletta talks to the spokesperson for the times, spokeswoman for the times who at first argued there was no real compensation gap but then conceded that, quote, this incident was a contributing factor to the firing of abramson because it was part of a pattern, and that incident was jill finally giving up and having to hire a lawyer to go in and try to got equal pay at the "new york times." it's stunning that the times all day yesterday were telling everybody inside and outside of the newsroom that, oh, no, this had nothing to do with her being
fired, the fact that she came and actually asked to be paid the same as a man. and by last night ken aletta and the "new yorker," they finally admitted it was part of a pattern. their quote, not mine. it's a stunning story, stunning mismanagement. >> i think the times is going to feel a backlash. i wouldn't be surprised if women subscribers to the times aren't looking quite closely. there as a real sense that there's still an old boys culture at the "new york times" and they are stunned. and i had one new york city reporter woman saying to me she was very depressed by what had happened yesterday. so what the times has done is undermine their own reporters, undermined women in the organization and handled this
phenomenally badly. the brutality of the firing alone. >> how it was handled, the brutality of the firing, two guys sitting together, one guy not liking how a woman inside was treating him, he goes and complains, the other guy fires a lady who had to get a lawyer to try to get paid the same as the last person who had that position and had been underpaid the entire employment. and the times leadership put out statements that just weren't truthful. the "new york times" lied trying to cover up their own mess. >> saying that's not a factor and it is now acknowledged to be a factor. the times frankly was being very cute in arthur salzburger's statement about the total compensation. apparently one has to surmise
lumping in any bonus she might have gotten, any stock she might have gotten, which of course are all dependent on what kind of year the newspaper is having. i know at the "washington post" there were years where manager's bonuses were cut in half or didn't come at all because of lean years in the newspaper business. keller, her predecessor, was in that office through a lot of lean years. it's possible you could look at the figures and say her stock options eventually might have been worth more than his. but salary to salary -- >> they're being too clever. >> when she has to go hire a lawyer, gene, she has to hire a lawyer to try to get equal pay for the same position that her male counterpart had -- >> and when you talk about the way the firing was handled, you used the word brutality and i'm
afraid that's probably kind of right. the last time arthur salzberger had to fire someone, it was over plagiarism, he was given a sendoff in the newsroom and the staff got to applaud and recitation of his triumphs as executive editor. jill abramson was done none of that. the paper won eight pulitzer prizes under eight years of her -- >> she didn't want to be there either. >> but you could mention the fact that, hey, you know -- >> you could rightly ask how the "new york times" defends, now that we have the salary numbers. the spokesman for the "new york times" says you don't look at salary, you look at total
compensation, which includes bonuses, stock grants and other long-term incentives but you can't deny that the baseline salary was much less because it was. >> you do look at the salary. it's not like keller didn't have the opportunity. the paper wasn't doing as well for the bonuses. when jill got there, the paper started doing better, in large part because keller did some great work and set it on a strong path but it's not like they gave her -- >> there's also the issue the fact that character has been raised in the case of jill abramson. i can't think of a senior male executive that has been feared on grounds where character was part of the issue. they're not fired for being described as pushy or aggressive, which is what you want in the editor of the "new
york times" anyway. >> in an earlier story it said she demanded to know why certain stories competitors had were not in the "new york times." >> shocked. >> i never demanded that when i was an editor, i never asked my staff, i would never do such a thing. i wouldn't pound the wall or the table or anything. >> we would never do that. we sure wouldn't. okay, maybe we would. >> julie pace, i think it's stunning that the "times" says there's no real compensation gap but then again said that when a woman asked to get the same amount of money as her male counterpart for the same job, that a spokeswoman for the "new york times" would say, quote, this incident was a contributing factor because it was part of a pattern.
men kick down doors and demand raises every day. i've just -- i've never heard of any man being fired because he asked to be paid the same as a co-worker. >> the whole conversation is just so tough to even listen to as a younger woman in journalism. i look to people like jill, other women who have risen through the ranks, it's still a really small number. the combination of the numbers that we're seeing now on salary and as katty said, just the adjectives that are being used to describe her, and there are undertones that if they were being used toward a man, they would be a positive. i give credit to the reporters
of the "times" -- >> except for the fact they have a guy from another magazine scooping them. >> sure. they're getting information from people giving contradictory statements. when you look at the original statement, using language that is clearly very precise in order to put a more positive spin on these numbers. >> there's now a potential criminal component to the controversy surrounding the v.a. hospital in phoenix. federal prosecutors are looking into allegations the medical center kept a secret waiting list to cover up for long delays for veterans looking for care. those disclosures came from the inspector general following testimony yesterday by the department secretary, eric shinseki. shinseki, a four-star general was grilled by the senate veterans affair committee.
he told lawmakers he's as angry as anyone. >> any allegation, any adverse incident like this makes me as -- makes me mad as hell. koup use stro-- i could use str language here but in deference to the committee, i will not. >> do you believe that you're ultimately responsible for all this? >> i am. >> can you explain to me after knowing all this information why you should not resign? >> well, i tell you, senator, that i came here to make things better for veterans. i intend to continue this mission until i've satisfied either that goal or i'm told by the commander in chief that my time has been served. >> willie, he looked mad as hell
there. >> he didn't show the fire some people want to see. he's a four-star general, he served this country admirably. does he care about veterans? of course he does. but right now it's just not good enough. it's not clear to me that anyone, a new person, could fix the bureaucracy at the v.a. when we saw those pictures were stacks and stacks of paper that looks like an office from 40 years ago, there's not a system in place to process these claims. we have great doctors, great medical personnel who in many cases forewent other careers that could have made more money. they're doing the work, they just can't handle the sheer number of claims coming in and people are dying because of it. >> if you get into the system, there are some positive things said about the system once you're in it but it's the back log and the 19th century filing
problem, stacks and stacks. >> we've heard before of a few little corners of the federal government that still operate this way in this dekenzen system of clerks and paperwork. but the v.a. is a big thing with a vital and important mission and that it hasn't had more of a technological upgrade and that it didn't anticipate that when, forbes, we're going to have two simultaneous foreign wars, we're going to have a lot of veterans coming home, they're going to need a kind of medical treatment that frankly they wouldn't have needed in the past because a lot simply would have died in earlier wars but because of quicker sort of triage and better initial treatment they survived with traumatic brain injuries, with other kinds of problems that the v.a. needs to
handle. >> you're right. the actual system when you get into it is one of the most popular bits of the america health care system. people raise this irony of european socialism when it comes to american health care but this government-run part of the american health care system is one of the bits that people actually like had they manage to start getting into it. >> clippers owner donald sterling now plans to fight his punishment from the nba. and it's been 20 years since the landmark brown versus board of education system. you are not going to believe what state has the most segregated school system in america. it really -- it is stunning. this is not just withone of the times i try to hold you through the commercial. no, this is really stunning. you're not going to believe it. you probably wouldn't believe what's next either, bill karins'

16 years ago tomorrow the supreme court ruled in brown versus board of education that separate schools for black and white students were inherently unequal. it is a ruling that changed market. with us to talk about it from washington, educationduncan. >> good morning. >> and education commissioner john king. let's start with you, john. we've got the secretary of education and that's big stuff but we have to set this up. >> sadly new york state is the most segregated state not just racially by economically as well. what is equally troubling is that the academic results are incredibly unequal.
86% of our white students graduated from high school, just 58% of our black and latino students graduated from high school. >> if this were a trivial pursuit question or "jeopardy" question, you people would have -- >> the figure when i was growing up was 100% in south carolina. the form are black high school and former high school were combined in south carolina. some white students decamped to an education academy that was all white, but that's not even all white anymore. i think there's a secondary academy that seems to be mostly white, but i would say the schools in my hometown are a lot more integrated right now than
those in new york state, which is amazing. >> arnie duncan, it is amazing, growing up in mississippi, georgia, gene in south carolina, to hear 60 years later that new york state is so segregated and gene is guessing states like illinois are probably still segregated as well. why? what do we do about it? >> school integration and lack of integration reflects housing pa patterns. and when we do live close to each other, the schools reflect that. we believe education is the civil rights issue of our generation, we have to get better rules. things have gotten better, high school graduation rates are at an all-time high but we have so far to go and we have to
continue to work with a tremendous sense of urgency to level the playing field for all of our children. >> what can you do to lower the number of segregated students in new york state? >> well, again, i think housing patterns reflect school education or lack thereof. that's a difficult one. we have to work to equalize educational opportunity. within of the things at the top of the president's agenda and mine is to increase access to high-quality, early learning opportunities. if we do that, we level the playing field for our children. if we don't do that, we have far too many children entering kindergarten a year to year and a half behind and we don't always do a great job of catching them up. >> we hear about early learning opportunities from the secretary. what do you say to the push back you've gotten in new york to common core. there are many teacher unions pushing back to what it means to
their livelihoods and what it man means to the students they're trying to educate. it's essential for our students. if they're not prepared, they're told welcome to college but you need to go down the hall to high school class for a remedial class for which you and your family are going to pay college prices and think get discouraged. it's not just about the test. it's about the standards and
many of the standards can't be measured on the standardized test. tests are just a part of the educational process. they've been around and will always be around. we want teachers focused on the standards. >> arnie, in closing shouldn't we also talk about school choice, giving more parents in new york state something that you've talked about and something you did in illinois the choice the let their children go to whatever schools they want to go to. >> we absolutely need high standards so young people aren't graduating at john said, trying to take remedial classes. we need real accountability. we can never duck accountab accountableability. traditional schools are doing great job, we need to replicate
them. charter schools are doing a great job, we need to learn from them and replicate them. we need to make every school a school parents will want to send their kids to. >> would you agree racially diverse schools are good to prepare students for living in the united states and therefore it's a goal the administration ought to work toward? >> absolutely. i was lucky enough to grow up in a diverse neighborhood, went to a diverse school. there's no way i could be doing what i'm doing had i not had that opportunity. the president grew up in a multi-cultural environment in hawaii. if our children have all the academic skills but lack the comfort of people who are different than them, i think we do them a real disservice. whatever we can do to bring children together, to learn from one another, to make
friendships, that's the world we're going to live in. as we go forward next school year for the first time ever, our nation's public schools are going to be a majority minority. it's a seminal moment. we have to get better together. >> secretary of education arnie duncan and john king, thank you very much. appreciate it. still to come, failure to recall. >> and the car just lost power. it shut off. there was no power to the steering, i couldn't accelerate, no breaks, nothing. >> faulty ignition switches. what did they know and when did they know it and what did it man for those who have the cars? we asked people a question,

trump's events. they parked their cars in the middle of the road and then once the cars got towed they formed a human chain blocking off traffic completely for about an hour until police started arresting folks. but that was only the beginning. things got ugly at a trump rally in tucson that afternoon when a few fights broke out between trump supporters and the protesters. after they interrupted his speech time and again. at one point, when a protester wearing a ku klux klan hood were being taken out of the a rally, another man punched him and started to stomp on him before police took him away as well. in his speech, donald trump did not seem to be least bit fazed by the protests. >> the little problems we have are very minor, nobody gets hurt. but watch the media it's like oh, we don't have problems. and it's been amazing. >> reporter: at the same time,
these protests were happening in arizona, demonstrations were under way in new york city, with thousands marching throughout the city, gathering outside the building on fifth avenue where donald trump lives. trump has several rallies scheduled for later today and at the rate things are going you can bet several of these kinds of protests are being scheduled as well. back to you all. >> we hope the violence doesn't continue. i mean, that punching fit that we saw was really tough to watch. >> well, the whole thing is crazy. and donald trump says it's not a problem, there's absolutely a problem. there was a highway blocked yesterday. there was a door smashed at a trump headquarters and the assault we saw. force is a problem. take three steps back. here's the first principle.
you can't use force. you can -- you know, you can articulate your ideas, debate people you disagree with. you can't prevent people from traveling or listening or hitting people. >> there were plenty of people trying to go to the rallies who are up decided voters. they want to see what trump has to say at the rallies. for instance the bernie sanders rallies, we see what we see on tv, but to listen to them an hour to -- you hear their issues. they're shutting down the roadway for over an hour, so people couldn't get there. they also then came to that rally and tried to shut down and pulled down the signs outside of the rally. there was one car that smashed through trump signs in order to -- i don't know, hide the fact that trump exists. i don't know. >> we saw people who were actually tying themselves to their cars too. >> right after the cars were towed away, they got into the human chain. >> why are they doing this? why is the trump campaign eli t eliciting a response like this. here's a trump protester who's
so spun up. >> i'm protesting the fascism, his racism, his lies and his women hating. i was here at the bernie sanders rally last night. there were no protests and the reason is that there's two different things going on here. you've got this, which is fascism and an angry mob. then you've got what happened last night with bernie and that's democracy. right there. but we'll stop this. this is not going to continue. to see somebody get punched in the face that's what it takes. >> if it takes somebody getting punched in the face, no problem. that's the guy who got punched multiple times there. he said nothing happened at the bernie sanders rally, well, the senator was interrupted by a topless protester. this is like a bernie sanders supporter who is very enthusiastic and decided to take her shirt off. >> she tried to go to the trump rally and couldn't get there because of the traffic stoppage. she couldn't get there because
others kept her from going to the trump rally. so she has go to bernie sanders -- >> listen to what the guy said. i was protesting trump's fascism, and lies and women hating, not one is is an issue. you may not agree with him, but they're not protesting this, this or that, but they're protesting he's a racist a sexist. all the criticism is about his moral qualities. i don't think we should have a presidential campaign based on that. i don't know what that means. if you disagree with something he believes, explain why your version is better. >> and he's engaging in hate speech, that's why they think they can do this and shut down his first amendment. it almost gives them license to do that. in their mind. but you can certainly see that immigration is going to be a huge issue come november and already in point to polls like we're about to show you why marco rubio is not in the race anymore and donald trump is resonating. 61% of american believe that
continued immigration into the united states jeopardizes our country. that's legal immigration and illegal immigration according to the poll. >> there's too much demographic change. there's a lot of social upheaval when you change the composition of the country. do you know how many people where i live in d.c. wants less immigration? zero. there's a massive stride between the party -- divide between the parties and the voters. that's why you're seeing the bernie and the trump candidacy, in any opinion. i think it's about immigration. >> we'll see governor jan brewer of arizona, former governor of arizona. to talk about all the unrest and the support along the campaign trail in arizona. >> fox news is sitting down with the remaining presidential candidates as they gear up for a big week in the 2016 race. bret baier interviews senator cruz and john kasich tomorrow on "special report." then it's donald trump's turn, he'll be on "hannity" at 10:00

we'll watch this little bit of energy meet up and develop off shore. it will bring some snow. at some points we thought there would be more or less. but look at the radar. we have this really sharp cutoff between the haves and the have-nots. some spots will get some good snow. i think the best bet for more accumulating snow is cape cod and the island and maybe down down east maine. interior sections a little bit less. maybe places one to three inches of snow except for cape cod and the island. and then cooler air and then we'll warm up. by wednesday, we'll be back in the 60s. whatever snow we get will be gone soon and back into spring. >> sorry frosty. >> get a small snowman.

written about it in the last two books "murder of the middle class" and "the ultimate obama survival guide." i said that the point of obamacare is to balloon the deficit to make it bigger. to hand obamacare to millions of loyal democratic voters and to extend it to illegals to turn them into loyal democratic voters and make them dependent on bigger government. the more checks you give them, the more they want to vote for whoever promises to expand the checks, to extend the checks, to increase the checks and to keep the checks coming. this is how -- this is a democrat plan. this is how you get millions of people dependent on government and voting government forever. no surprise, tucker. >> i think a few days ago, someone would have said that's a right wing talk show host conspiracy theory. but now you have chelsea clinton saying it's true.
why can "the new york post" say to trump, you're a racist, shut up. but this will completely affect every taxpayer in america and why is there no conversation in america? >> let me point out how badly it affects every taxpayer in america we're $19 trillion in debt. that's incredible. more than any other country in the history of the world. there's no way that any expert can say we can pay it back. tragic situation, but the cbo the congressional budget office, just said, we're $30 trillion in debt in ten years that's before we add in obamacare for illegals. then you have to realize, tucker, the minute that announcementet announcement gets out to mexico, south america, millions more will want to come knowing that even if they're illegal, they'll get free health care benefits. this is the murder of the middle class. democrats call us climate change deniers. i have got a name for them. they're border deniers. they're bankruptcy deniers. they're denying that what's coming across the border is bankrupting and destroying and murdering the middle class of america.

>> not as ruthless? >> not as ruthless. but to be really thoughtful. i didn't write a book called noism. essentialism it matters the difference, because focussing on what is most important, you then have the why to be able to negotiate with people. you know, why the most valuable thing you can do might not be the thing that they're asking you to do. so to eliminate as gracefully as possible. >> then the third step is execute. what do you mean? >> well, to execute, there's two ways of thinking about it. to execute sometimes means force it at the last minute. do an all nighter. force your way through. but what i find is that essentialists create a platform for making execution as effortless as possible. so the idea is to create a routine where you're not using up your limited supply of discipline. making and remaking decisions. but you create a routine that makes getting the most important things done. as effortless and frictionless as you can. >> i recommended the book to a number of family and friends. it's called "essentialism, the

and whatever issue has come up over the course of the years he's been great on. including the iran nuclear deal. i think donald trump would learn a lot really by understanding more of why ted cruz has all the different positions he has as it relates to israel. >> what about on the other side of the aisle, you have hillary clinton speaking, but bernie sanders is not going to. he says i need to be out campaigning. yes i'm jewish culturely, but i'm not -- how much is that going to hurt him? >> i think you have to seize every opportunities and i think it's a missed opportunity for him. one of the differences between hillary clinton, hillary clinton talks about being neutral. she truly understands and has spent decades reflecting on a position and there's no shot of her evolving. >> could trump help him if there
is a walkout? >> it could, because it's a republican primary and as long as donald trump delivers an effective speech, he stays on his message, he's delivering the right message. i think that it can be a great positive for him tomorrow as long as he keeps his composure. >> even if there's a walkout it can be positive? >> it can. it's all up to him how presidential he wants to roll with it. >> there you go. all right. congressman lee zeldin, thank you. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. still ahead on "fox & friends," chipotle paying big bucks for the bad burritos. how much they paid for making sick. and protesters stopped people from going to the rally in arizona. how is that the best way to get their message out? that's next. with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis,
the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

good morning, everyone. seven minutes before the top of the hour. look at this. disrupters take to the streets in arizona. gathering along a highway outside of a donald trump rally in fountain hills, holding up signs and traffic in an attempt to keep people from going to the event. >> similar protests also held in new york city. should they be keeping voters from listening to trump's views simply because they don't agree with them? >> joining me is sheriff paul babyuo from pinault county. thanks for joining us. >> absolutely. >> set the scene yesterday. the images are startling. when you see the traffic snarls caused by these protesters, the
disrupters. >> well, not only did we have miles of backup of vehicles, yet these protests, we all appreciate and protect the first amendment freedom of speech and to rally, protest. yet, when you interfere with the public roads, you can't block traffic. they had vehicles across the road. lots of people, even tying themselves to vehicles. they were given multiple warnings by officers to clear the roadway, even giving ten minutes, and they still didn't do that. they were arrested. three were arrested, and the rest got out of the way. we had to tow a number of vehicles. >> in combating fascism, they're committing it. to be clear, it's not legal to block the road, even if you're protesting something, correct? >> absolutely not. and that's where we even established places for people to hold peaceful rallies. we don't want anybody to get injured, but you can't interfere or stop other people from
holding a rally, and you certainly can't impede traffic. that's exactly what they did. >> immigration is going to be front and center on tuesday when arizona heads to the polls. >> yes. >> about 370 miles of border with mexico. what's the pulse of the people in your community now? >> i can tell you it's not just here in arizona. we see it across the country. because this is just one example of where the administration has failed miserably. this border is not secured. we well 82,000, 132,000 illegals in this part of arizona apprehended every year. in law enforcement we call that a clue. the border's not secure, and we have cartel scouts in my county, lookouts. i'm 70 miles north of the border. they're providing safe passage for the drug cartels who think they own the place. we're angry not just here,
across the country, because this administration under barack obama keeps putting other families, other people outside of america first, ahead of us, american families and our national security. that's got to stop. so you see donald trump, ted cruz, and others who are coming forward with a message of putting america first, trump saying let's make america great, and people are responding to that. that's why i believe he'll win soundly on tuesday here in my state of arizona. >> what's it like for you as someone who lives in arizona and works in law enforcement to hear politicians on the east coast, thousands of miles away, suggest that people in arizona are concerned about border security are somehow bigoted? >> it's outrageous. we're the most compassionate people in the world, americans. illegal immigrants, they follow the process, pay thousands to wait in line to become citizens of our country. and that's more than any nation in the world. and so to shout us down and to
make like we're unpatriotic or un-american, not only is false, they're the ones who are bigoted. >> right. >> we just want people to follow the process. >> thanks, sheriff. constipated? trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners suppof hard stools.elief in minutes dulcolax, designed for dependable relief

[ shots ] >> shots ring out at the south by southwest music festival in austin, sending fans running for cover. the latest developments from overnight. and then, coast-to-coast protests against donald trump yesterday. thousands marched outside his new york city headquarters. marchers in arizona shut down a road on the way to the rally, and they say this is what democracy looks like.
true? and the v.a. finally reveals a way for soldiers to get an appointment and see a doctor. but the trick they revealed has veterans across the country fuming.

[ chanting ] >> donald trump! >> police got involved in the rally tucson where punches were thrown. >> we have more live from washington, d.c., on the latest on this. good morning, garrett. >> reporter: good morning. these types of protests are becoming the new norm for donald trump's campaigns. as we saw yesterday in new york, he doesn't even have to be there
for hundreds of demonstrators to show up. yesterday, this all started in arizona, though, outside scottsdale. protesters completely shut down traffic heading toward the trump rally. the demonstrators parked their cars in the middle of the highway and then formed a human wall until police started arresting a few of them. trump's rally was delayed about an hour. police said there were still more than 10,000 people who showed up for the event. things took a turn for the ugly later in the day, though, at a rally in tucson. protesters from immigration rights groups and black lives matter repeatedly interrupted the donald and got into scuffles with his supporters. at one point, you see in the video, trump called a protester wearing a ku klux klan head disgusting. you see what happened as he was escorted out of the venue. a machine in the crowd -- a man in the crowd punches him, stomps on him before security could take them away. the republican front-runner dismissed any criticisms about violence at his rallies and
blamed the protest on hillary clinton. >> you really say what are they doing, but they're here representing hillary clinton because frankly, frankly -- >>. [ boos ] >> the last person she wants to run against is donald trump, believe me, folks. >> while that was happening, large demonstrations were taking place on the other side of the country, in new york city. protesters from a variety of left leaning groups marched through the city to several of trump's properties, including his home in trump tower, with signs and chanting anti-trump slogans. you see they got into a couple of shoving matches with the police there. this afternoon, trump will be speaking at an event in florida, and you'll be sure that we will be keeping an eye on that, as well. back to you all. >> thanks. >> thanks a lot. tolerance -- you go see the front window of one of trump's headquarters smashed in, as well, as the protesters are out saying that they want to shut it down, they don't want him to even speak. they don't want him getting up on the podium. and what they're protesting is
that he's racist, they say, that he's a liar, sexist. they're not talking about the issues. this is one protester who talks about why he provoked the attack. listen -- >> i was protesting trump's fascism, his racism, his lies, and his women hating. i was also here at the bernie sanders rally last night. nobody got punched. nobody got thrown out. there were no protests. and the reason is that there's two things going on here. you got this which is fascism and an angry mob. then you got what happened with bernie, and that's democracy. we're going to stop this. this is not going to continue. seeing someone get punched in the face, that's what it takes, no problem. >> this is the protester that you've seen probably on social media. you've seen a lot of the closeup videos. he was punched multiple times, and there he is saying, yeah, if this happens, yeah, i was instigating it. if it happens, it happens. donald trump is getting interviewed by sean hannity tonight. >> can i say one thing before we
get to that? >> yeah. >> you'd think the irony alarm would go off at some point. these are people in the name of tolerance preventing others from speaking. these are people claiming trump is a fascist, so they're using force to shut down his rallies. really? who's the far scientist wh-- fascist? when you use force from to prevent someone from expressing their views, you're the fascist. >> this guy, to argue for him, he's holding a sign with donald trump's face, it's got nasty stuff, almost like a mask. that's not good. but he's not punching somebody and then got punched back. >> no -- >> he's holding it up. he's with some guys apparently, our producers tell us, with guys that had kkk hoods on. you see why it happened. >> i'm not defending punching anybody. i'm against it except in self-defense. i'm just saying take three steps back. we'll have protesters chaining them says to cars to block access to a trump rally. smashing the door. in new york city, outside the guy's house. if you're not -- if you can't be unmolested in your own home, i'm
against anybody hassling people where they live. that is an act of force. >> right. i don't want to get hung up on that one guy. to your point, shutting things down so people who are actually going, undecided voters, the "washington post" interviewing a lot of people who tried to go to the rally were undecided voters. they're going to listen to an hour-long speech around ideas hopefully. so they can make up their decision before they go to vote on tuesday. >> if you disagree, tell me what you disagree with. if you think that trump's immigration policy or trade policy is bad or stupid, tell me your version. win me over. they have no interest. they want to prevent him from speaking. >> i don't think t's about his trade policies or anything. it's about what they believe is hate speech. so they think that's license to do this and shut down the first amendment right which is not fair. >> you're right. >> and shutting down the first amendment rights of everybody trying to go and see him. >> hate speech is itself -- i would love to have someone explain hate speech. it's speech i don't agree with. you shouldn't be allowed to utter those words. what is -- what is hate speech exactly? something i find offensive. therefore, you shouldn't allowed
to say. >> who are the protesters? where do they come from? are they professional protesters? there because they feel impassioned to come to the trump rallies and shut everything down? donald trump was asked. here's a preview of the interview with sean hannity. he addresses who these protesters are. watch. >> if you interview them, they don't even know why they're there. they don't know. why are you here? uh -- guy goes, i don't know. i don't really know. but i'm here. i don't have any comment. okay, the interviews -- they don't know why they're there. you have professional disrupters. if you look at my rallies, other than the one i ended in chicago where nobody was hurt -- i did the right thing. there you had a couple of thousand disrupters or protesters, whatever you call them. and i had 25,000 people. we were able to stop a lot from coming in. i can't because when i landed, the secret service, the police, everybody said, this could be a potential problem. we get a lot of credit i think -- you know, to end -- i hate to do that. >> i don't know. the trump feud -- this is not a
big deal, all this stuff. i don't hold him responsible for a lot of it. some, not much. i think it's a big deal. i think this is too chaotic and crazy. i don't think this is a happy thing what's going on. >> especially when it's happening every weekend. >> scary. >> yeah. >> one thing for sure, the passion on immigration is big this election cycle. in fact, we've got a new poll to show you. legal and -- legal and illegal immigration is a problem for many folks in the united states. 61% say continued immigration into this country jeopardizes the united states. that's legal and illegal. >> yeah, because these are people who are affected by it. the people who think the status quo is great are the ones who are so insulated by their wealth from the effects of the policies, immigration policies, it's not a big deal. they get to feel virtuous, better restaurants. it's cool. their kids don't go to public school. there's no downside.
anyone against it has got to be a bigot is their view. breaking with protocol. the border patrol has thrown their support behind trump. here's a support from the border patrol. "i inform police department trump's campaign that nbpc had long-standing practice of not endorsing presidential candidates. however, the national border patrol council and local 2544 are pleased to inform voters that mr. trump is the only candidate that has publicly expressed his support of our mission and our agents. he's been outspoke even -- an outspoken candidate on the need for a secure border. and for this, we are grateful." >> they're saying we can't necessarily endorse, you go --e could, we would. >> this is troubling. if you're the democratic party and your base is unions, right, here's one coming out for trump, boy, that's an ominous sign for you, isn't it? >> yeah. and for the ted cruz campaign, too, who's been -- been trying to draw attention to his border patrol, his border policies, as well. >> you hear border patrol
agents, law enforcement all the time saying they're seeing the same faces, too. >> yeah. and he -- >> the same ones coming over. they come -- >> and ted cruz was meeting with the border patrol, the agency and council there, going to see all these sieves in the fence there. just like random holes in the fences and walking along there -- >> the two leading republican candidates have one thing in common. they're both tough on immigration. >> uh-huh. >> you got it. we are, of course, following some other stories making headlines. we'll start with this. it is a fox news alert. shots ringing out at a music festival in austin, texas. [ shots ] >> police say the suspect fired into the air at the south by southwest festival. you see the crowd scatter. no one was injured. austin police responded quickly despite the massive crowds swarming the streets. one person was arrested, and the gun was recovered. and a last-minute decision from europe's most-wanted terrorist may have saved dozens of lives in the paris terror

to lower carbon emissions. contrary to theifestyle he claims to live, radar online says the actor took six private jet flights in six weeks last year. so much for lightening his carbon load. and researchers have uncovered the jobs with the highest and lowest divorce rates. if you're looking to stay hitched, opt for dentist, optometrist, or podiatrist, 8%. jobs with the highest chance of divorce include bartenders, dancers, choreographers with the average of a 40% divorce rate. experts found stress at work can be a big factor in divorces. >> and bartenders, you know, work until 2:30 in the morning. >> what about when you start work at 2:30 in the morning? >> right. >> bartenders and exotic dance verse high divorce rates. >> surprise you? >> science confirms the obvious once again. happy first day of spring. we're getting ready to see good friendry in bloom -- greenery in bloom, the northeast is bracing
for a blizzard? right? >> massive. get out your salt and slickers. no, it's not going to be bad. here's the other thing. snow this time of year, the sun angle is high enough that it makes it difficult for snow to stick that you will much. while we might end up getting two or three inches, that's in the central spot where they're measuring the snow, not necessarily on the roads. i don't think we'll be watching the roads get snowy. they will probably be wet for tomorrow's commute. here's what we're looking at for snowfall. one to three around new york city, the western side of long island. you get toward the eastern side of long island, more, maybe pushing six inches. same toward boston. then down east maine, little more than that. that's kind of what we're going to be seeing. again, not as much on the roads, and it will be gone very quickly because the temperatures will warm up a lot. not all that problematic. here's what today looks like across the northeast. the snow begins tonight and goes through the overnight hours and into tomorrow morning's commute. down across the southeast, a very chilly day.
behind the same system cold air has settled in. we have all kinds of frost advisories in effect for this morning. we'll see some of that tonight. another chilly one tonight. and really, a very chilly day to start spring. into the northern plains, temperatures also certainly cool. but could be worse across this area this time of year. we'll see a little snow to start the day across parts of the mid mississippi river valley. another warm day across the deserts of arizona. more rain moving into central and northern chaefl is great news. all right. that's it, guys. >> thanks. >> you bet. today is palm sunday, the start of the holy week for millions of the faithful around the world. >> here's the vatican early this morning as pope francis wrapped up sunday's mass in st. peter's square. why is this such an important day for christians around the world? >> father jonathan morris joins us this morning to explain. >> good morning. i brought with me some palms, right -- >> palms? >> the significance of the palms -- >> what does it mean?
palm sunday? >> so palm sunday reminds us, a representation, liturgical representation of when jesus came into jerusalem, of course, on a colt on, a -- a colt, on a donkey. his disciples, those that were hoping he would have a military takeover to free the jews from under the roman rule. they thought he would come into his gorgeous kingdom on earth. he came in on a very humble animal instead. and some people were putting their cloaks down saying, you know, giving him praise and saying, you are our king. he was coming into jerusalem, of course, for something else. that was to die for our sins. to take the place that each and every one of us really deserve. he says, i'm going to give you the possibility of a new kingdom which is heaven. >> interesting. we call it palm sunday as a way of remembering that there were palms on the ground -- >> that's right. they took probably olive
branches and waved them in front of jesus as he was coming in on this very humble animal. >> this was the last week of his life on earth? >> and that's what we're celebrating now. the beginning of holy week. palm sunday is allowing the church to enter into the holiest days of the year. >> what can we learn of the symbolism of coming into the world in a humble beginning, a manger, among all the animals, and going out this way? >> you know, i think a lot of us would like god to take care of our problems for us, for him to be our savior on this earth of making us rich, making us healthy, making us without any problems. of jesus says, i am the way of the truth and life, and the way is the cross. all of us have sufferings in our life. the fact that as in the christian faith we believe that jesus suffered all of those things so that we could understand that we have a god that's not just distant, but it's also imminent with us alongside us. i'm actually going to be riding a donkey around my church -- >> today you're sermon, you're going to be on a donkey? >> we're going to do a
liturgical representation of jesus entering into the temple. in the bronx, imagine we'll have, for the first time, a donkey coming up from -- coming down from upstate new york. i'm going to be on the donkey as a symbol of jesus on the donkey that we're going to go around the church and then have parishioners doing representation of what it must have like. >> for your humility -- >> to ride a donkey? especially if he bucks me off, quite possibly. the city boy that i am. >> you'll be live streaming this? >> i will, on facebook, go to father jonathan morris. for people who are not able to go church, people this their homes not able to go. >> donkey cam. >> yes. >> hope you have good boots. >> love it. >> for those hosting morning shows. >> that is true. if you want to take five minutes off from the show, 9:15 a.m. eastern time. >> great to see you. >> happy palm sunday. thank you. the veterans' administration is trying to improve its health care system by teaching vets how

she was headed to hawaii for spring break when eight-inch flames apparently shot out of her phone. she threw it to the ground where alaska airlines flight attendants quickly put it out. the faa, apple and the airline are investigating. fortunately, nobody was hurt. over to you, tucker. >> thank you. life hacking your way to health. the veterans affairs department is trying to improve its system by offering tips on how to go around that system. the irony. instead of tackling the problems with wait times and care directly, vets are forced to cheat the system. is this the best they can do or a real story? hard to believe. fox contributor pete hegseth joins us. is this true? >> it is a real story. i got the e-mail forwarded from a veteran buddy yesterday. we confirmed it on line. indeed, the v.a. e-mailed vets an article written by a v.a. employee that teaches them how to circumvent their own v.a.
system. imagine a health care provider that e-mailed and said, come use us. in doing so, the on,ies in is on you to drive to another location where there isn't so long a wait, schedule a time that's not convenient for you, or why don't you go to the emergency room if you can't be seen in a timely basis. there is literally the advice given to veterans. >> i suspect when i go to the mayo clinic, sloan-kettering, they don't give me a list of ways to get around the bureaucracy in order to get the care i need. you got to give them credit for at least trying. this seems to be in lieu of reforming the system. >> that's exactly right. i mean, it is emblematic of a system that's bureaucracy-centric as opposed to veteran-centric, and it knows it. this is probably a well-intentioned v.a. employee saying, hey, we know our system is broken. we want you to get good care. so rather than trying to form it or fix it which we know the bureaucracy's not going do, i mean, they're suggesting drive an additional 60 miles or get up early or keep calling that 1-800 line to harass them.
or going to the emergency room -- everyone who makes the case for socialized medicine says people going to the emergency room is so expensive. now you've got socialized medicine telling people to go to the emergency room. it confirms every bias and everything we've suspected about the v.a. because -- even the employees themselves know the system isn't changing. >> it also, as you implied, suggests a larger point that maybe this is what socialism looks like when applied to medicine. everyone loves veterans. everyone knows we owe a debt to them. yet, this is how we're treating them. imagine a nonveteran, average person trying to get care under obamacare. doesn't this tell us that maybe it's never going to work? it's never going to provide decent care if the government runs it? >> the v.a. with veterans as guinea pigs has been our test of socialized government-run health care. it is utterly failed. to think we'll take something that we imposed on roughly 21 million veterans and impose it on over 2,300 million americans -- 23 million americans, it will
be an abject failure. those why people are fighting for choice for veterans, accountability, free market reforms so veterans are liberated to go any hospital where they may not be told the onus is on you to work hard to great your appointment. keep calling back. that's what the v.a. is telling these guys. >> quickly, what's the argument against choice for veterans? why shouldn't they be able to take the money the government spends on them for remembthem a spend it for the best health care? >> government employee unions and the v.a. bureaucracy that wants to continue to expand. all the policymakers, democratic congressmen and senators that defend them. that's the argument against reform. >> the unions, the most reliable group of support. i feel like i've heard this before. pete, are you fighting against. this a reservoir of knowledge like no one i know. good to see you. thousands of protesters trying to stop donald trump from talking. they're doing it from coast to coast. they say this is what democracy looks like.

>> we're live from washington to sort out what happened. >> reporter: these protests are growing. they are becoming more organized and they are often becoming more violent as well. that wasn't the case early on yesterday in arizona, though, where dozens of protesters completely shut down a highway outside scottsdale. that was the main route to a trump rally nearby. traffic was backed up for miles as the group formed a human wall with banners criticizing trump's platform on race and immigration. the rally went on. at an event in tucson, protesters from immigration rights groups and black lives matter interrupted his speech time and again. several protesters got into scuffles on their way out. you can see how this demonstrator is completely leveled when a man in a crowd punches him in the space and
violently kicks him. in his speech, trump dismissed criticisms about violence at his rallies, though, and says those protesters are what's wrong with america. >> they are throwing the american flag. if they had a match, they would burn the american flag. they don't care about us. they don't care about this country. these are not good people, folks. they think it's cute. the other guy is wearing a ku klux klan joust -- outfit. these are bad people, i'm telling you. >> at the same time there were anti trump demonstrations going on all the way across the country in new york city. protesters marched through the city to several of trump's properties including his home in trump tower with signs and chanting slogans all along the way. this afternoon, trump is speaking at an event in florida. that's an event we're going to be at as well.
this is what the tolerant left looks like. my favorite part though is these protests are organized in opposition to fascism. to fight fascism, they are using force. >> attendance at these events is protected under the constitution. this what you are seeing here, shutting down roadways, what happens when an ambulance has to get by? >> that's why three people were arrested. some people were tying themselves to cars. it's dangerous. >> it's also mob rule. you are not allowed to get together with a bunch of angry people and say this person will not speak. the whole point of the bill of rights, the first line in the bill of rights is you get to say what you think is true in america and these people are trying to prevent it, period. >> the protesters that we've talked to here at fox and john roberts interviewing them many after the chicago protests that
were shut down, they were there because they were undecided voters and they said i wanted to come to this to see what the man had to say. i've seen a lot of stuff he said on television. i haven't agreed to a lot of it. i wanted to listen. >> they had the right to listen. their first amendment right to listen to donald trump's freedom of speech was shut count -- down. donald trump is going to be doing an interview with sean hannity that i will air monday night at 10:00 p.m. eastern time. we want to share it with you. >> they don't even know why they are there. they don't even know. why are you here? the guy goes i don't really know, but i'm here. i don't have any comment. you have to see these interviews. they don't even know why they are there. but you have professional disrupters. if you look at my rallies, other than the one i ended in chicago, where nobody was hurt, i did the
right thing because there you had a couple of thousand disrupters or protesters and i had 25,000 people and we were able to stop a lot of them from coming in. when i landed the secret service, the police said everybody said this could be a potential problem. we get a lot of credit for that. i hate to do that. >> the point is this is not a big deal. i respectfully disagree, i think it is a big deal. it's chaotic, crazy, one way to slow it down is for leaders on both sides republicans and democrats say you can't use force, that's off the table. there's a huge difference between peaceful, legitimate protest and mob violence. it's crossing the line. republicans are blaming trump for that. democrats are blaming trump for this. >> perhaps he's trying to tamp down the outrage about this. >> you can see where it's going. this is bad. >> it shows you just how much immigration is a fever-pitch
issue for voters this election season and you remember in the past hillary clinton said obamacare would not go to illegal immigrants. chelsea clinton is saying that her mom's plan is to give obamacare to people living in this country regardless of their status. essentially to illegal immigrants. listen. >> she thinks it's so important to extend the affordable care act to people who are living and working here, regardless of immigration status, regardless of citizenship. >> i would love to hear them explain why someone who comes here illegally breaking federal law has a right to mine and yours tax dollars for subsidized health care or any other public service. what is the answer? this should be on the front page of the "new york times." it's not. it's about trump. >> we've been talking about this for years here on the couch.
>> obamacare is to balloon the deficit, to make government bigger. to hand obamacare to millions of democratic voters and to extend it to illegals to turn them into democrat voters. they are denying that's what is coming across the border is bankrupting and destroying and murdering mdle class america yes. >> everybody enrolled in obamacare, if you multiply that by 10 million illegal immigrants, $5 billion over the next ten years. doesn't it encourage more illegal immigration? come on out. we roll out the red carpet for you. >> decent immigrants who improve
america are tarred by that. the message is, be quiet, you are going to pay for this. if you complain, you are a bigot. >> it's brilliant on the part of the democrats. you have to states that have been traditionally conservative, would never vote for a democrat turning blue, shifting purple. look at arizona right now, shifting demographics in arizona, look at colorado used to be a red state. the now a blue state. >> if you don't like the election results, change the population. for real. >> i've been out on the campaign trail a lot this season and it seems like the economy and immigration are the two biggest things that people want to talk about and really they are tied together. it's going to be talked about a lot on monday night when we have some great interviews. fox news is going to be sitting down with all the remaining republican presidential candidates as they gear up for a big week.

all eyes are on the state of arizona where immigration is set to stage in this week's primary on tuesday. a new poll by bloomberg shows 61% of americans believes immigration jeopardizes the utilizes. how will -- united states. how will the candidates react to this? let's ask "fox news sundays" chris wallace. >> it's interesting. in the exit polls, when people
are asked what's the top issue, immigration actually does not do very -- does not score very high. usually it's in the single digits, less than 10%. issues like the economy, jobs, terror score higher, but clearly it is a potent issue. it's been a major issue in the rise of donald trump and particularly in a border state like arizona, you've got to figure it's going to play a big role. as far as the anti illegal immigration forces are concerned, two of the leaders in arizona former governor jan brewer and sheriff joe arpaio are both backing trump. remember, it's a winner-take-all primary. this could be an opportunity for him to widen his lead over his two contenders. >> he also mentioned the exit polls. one of the things that stands out is anger. people said that's one of things that's driving them to the polls, anger at their federal
government. it may play out even more so in arizona where we just saw the border patrol for the first time coming out and throwing support behind donald trump in a press release over the past day or so. do you think that will move the needle? >> sure. absolutely. i have to say speaking more generally than just the immigration issue and just arizona, the exit polls have been establishing to me. i suppose some viewers are going to say, hey, dummy, you should have understood this some time ago. it's not only anger against the federal government. also anger in the republican exit polls at their party leadership. when we asked do you feel betrayed by the gop leadership in washington? more than 50% in most states are saying yes. so there is a lot of disaffection, a lot of aleanati aleanation with the republican leadership in particular and the federal government in general.
the two front runners are a strong first and a pretty decisive second with both playing that card. >> capitalizing on that and giving them staying power too. who do you have on the show coming up? >> very interesting. we'll have the very latest on the capture and what good news that was on friday afternoon of europe's most wanted man, salah abscess -- abdeslam. the one fugitive who survived the paris attack because he chickened out and decided not to be a suicide bomber. we'll talk to him. we'll also -- rather will be talking to dennis mcdonough and also to john kasich. coming up here on the show, is this the solution to america's drug addiction ep departmentic? give junkies safe houses so they can shoot up with supervision.

as the heroin epidemic continues to sweep across the country, a group in seattle wants to offer safe houses to give addicts a place to shoot up. >> it to prevent overdoses. and get them off the streets and we can link them to treatment and testing and wound care facilities. >> is this a smart move or does it promote usage? we continue our discussion on addiction in america and we're going to bring in now former director of national control policy david murray. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, anna. thank you. i worked for the director. i was his chief scientist. glad to be here. >> thank you for specifying that. >> yes, ma'am. >> on the face of this story, it seems outlandish, what's the argument for why they think it would work? >> the administration philosophy
is harm reduction. it doesn't. these policies for safe injection facilities or administering heroin to heroin addicts both tastes of any sound public policy, it's inhumane nor is it effective policy. it doesn't work. they continue to inject. they continue to overdose. their tolerance for heroin grows. they put themselves more at risk for both heroin deaths and diseases like hiv-aids. >> there are worries it would get younger people addicted too. this has been done in other places around the world. they have seen some success with it. their argument is you come in and get a clean needle which
wards away other diseases and it stops the ability for you to overdose and while you are there, maybe they can court you into a treatment program and you say? >> that's the theory. but the problem is in practice it doesn't actually work that way. addicts have trouble with this disease of addiction and continuing and enabling their continued injection puts them at greater risk when they leave the facility at night, they go and illicit heroin on the street. they still overdose. 47,000 americans died in the most recent year of data from drug overdoses. 29,000 of those were oppose i can't tell -- opiate over doses. you don't enable continued addiction. these people are worth saving. they matter to us. we must try to recover them and get them into treatment and get them to come home. we can't write them off.
>> enabling heroin adicts to continue their habit is what many say this would do. what would you propose instead? this costs taxpayers a lot of money? where should it be moved instead? >> you want to cut off the heroin supply. active measures to reduce the sheer availability. we'll call it the pathogen that causes this disease. you've got to strengthen prevention and deterrence to more young people don't go into this. heroin overdose deaths have risen 400%. it's an extraordinary outbreak. the solution isn't to make heroin more available, more acceptable, more normative. these policies go in the wrong direction, again to the wrong answer. it's not humane and it's not effective public health. >> thank you so much. david murray, i appreciate your

create a hullabaloo. it's its own forgs of fascism when you are trying to use force to shut down someone's free speech. i was reading an interesting article from judge napolitano, there are legal issues when free speech is protected. >> what do you make of the actual people who are showing up to donald trump's rallies and then violence ensues, the protester who was actually punched multiple times yesterday went outside and did an intervut and this is his response. it may surprise you. >> his racism, his lies and his women hating. i was also hear at the bernie sanders rally tonight. nobody got punched. nobody got thrown out. there were no protests, and the reason is that there's two things going on here. because this is fascism and an angry mob and then you got what happened last night with bernie
and that's democracy. right there. we're going to stop this. this is not going to continue. if it takes somebody getting punch in the face, no problem. >> wow. what a winner. >> fascism. he's a racist, he's bigoted and you are hearing that from mitt romney two days ago. >> was that mitt romney? he looks so different now. >> he's let himself go. he's let his hair grow out and he started smoking, by the way. that's the same thing you are hearing from mitt romney at a ted cruz rally. we cannot elect donald trump because he's racist, bigoted and vulgar. >> apparently these people haven't been paying attention to the election thus far because you can throw out a lot of these hyperbolic claims against donald trump and i think there are many ways in which donald trump is vulnerable. i think trying to further stir these passions and emotions of
voters on both sides is just simply not working and what it does, donald trump's campaign and machine requires all of the oxygen and it requires fuel for that fire and that's what you are giving him which essentially makes him more popular, and it's funny because no one has figured out a way to kind of triangulate and stop it. i think hillary clinton is going to have the biggest problem of all. >> the negative ads in florida against trump. >> it really helped marco rubio. >> fabio, america's newest citizen is considering a political career. i am a people person. i love people. i would definite go for the people. >> every book in your house has his picture on the cover. >> that's absolutely right. >> even the libertarian primmer

doesn't that -- that must infuriate people like fabio or your mom who came here legally? >> i think it does. i think it's an interesting divide that you don't hear as much about in this country. think about it. if you good to disneyland with your kids and you wait in line and you don't get a fast pass and you wait in line an hour and a half for cars but then someone scoots right up in front of you, maybe they are lying about having some sort of a foot infirmity and they cut the entire line, everyone behind them is really upset about it because cars is fun and it's worth waiting for. >> with why wouldn't they be upset? >> if you would have told me we would be talking about fabio. >> or faking foot injuries at disney world. >> maybe fabio would be table t parachute. >> kennedy, thanks for coming. >> kind of like cher and ma don't in a. goes by kennedy.

listen to them, and then they have these thugs if you will out there being very disruptive and out of control and it's unfortunate and it makes it look like it's -- everybody that is there is of that mind set and it's not. it's the few that come and create chaos. when people chain themselves around their neck to their cars and lay down in the street and backup traffic for nine, ten miles, that's outrageous. you know, that's not a protest. that's breaking the rules, breaking the law. >> governor brewer, what do you think the candidates on either side can do to try to calm things down? >> well, again, you know, i think that certainly with mr. trump, he tells them, you know, that they want to be peaceful and they need to behave, but unfortunately you've got
organizations throughout america that they come in groups and that's what they do. that's their living. it's not anything different than in 1970, they busted them in from texas and california and they created chaos. you know, they were saying terrible things. they had the american flag on the ground, walking on it and painting on our windows with pinto beans and just horrible, horrible things. you know, it's unfortunate. it shouldn't -- and i think that the media pick up that it's like the candidates are creating this. that's not true. that's simply not true. yesterday was fabulous. donald is doing really, really well in arizona. i think he's going to win overwhelmingly on tuesday, and he's got 56% of the vote and take him into the general election. >> i want to talk about immigration specifically now. bernie sanders at a rally
yesterday addressing the idea of a wall. that's been an hot button issue, one that donald trump has put forward. here's what bernie sanders had to say yesterday. >> pope francis has made the point that we should be building more bridges, not more walls. the so-called immigration problem we face today at this particularly moment is a trumped up and exaggerated problem. more people are leaving the united states to go back to mexico and in fact than are coming here from mexico. we don't need a wall and we don't need barbed wire. we need to fix our broken criminal justice system. we need to take 11 million undocumented people out of the shadows, out of fear. we need to provide them with a
path toward citizenship. >> there's a new poll out this ration on u.s. immigration, 61% in the country jeopardizes the united states, perhaps why donald trump is resonating so well in arizona. what do you think of bernie sanders's comments we don't need a wall? we need to bring the illegal immigrants out of the shadows? >> false. we are a country. a country without borders is like a house without walls. it collapses. arizona has been the recipient of a lot of illegal immigration coming across the border. and with it comes crime, we have people that have been injured and we have seen the heart break and the suffering of people that have been exposed to the criminal element. bottom line, it's killing our economy and again it's like hillary clinton. i signed legislation when i was governor to prohibit benefits to
illegals and now she wants to expand obamacare. well, mr. sanders, who is going to pay for all of this? we can't afford it. our budgets are tight now. let's take care of the people that are citizens of arizona. you mention people who have been touched by the criminality. we spoke to one of them, a man whose son was killed at a convenience store. here's part of our conversation a minute ago. >> we're all frustrated. it's heart breaking. this is something that's happening almost on a daily basis now that we have illegal immigrant criminals that are committing murder or rape or numerous child predator-type actions. these families are left in disbelief that, you know, we have a president that is basically saying to the border patrol stand down or find
another job. >> i never heard this story. i'm sure you know it well. why all the emphasis on the rights of immigrants and almost no conversation at all about the rights of americans who have been harmed by immigration? >> it is unbelievable, and we hear these stories continually, and it does -- it breaks your heart. i just read a report that we're 138 illegal immigrants had been released -- no, 125 illegal immigrants had been released committed 138 murders here in the united states, and we see it all the time. but this kind of criminal activity doesn't ever seem to get in the newspaper. everybody sort of turns a blind eye, and we're in the going to tolerate it anymore. the people of america are not going to tolerate it anymore and donald trump has resonated. build that wall. protect these people. he will listen because the federal government has failed
us. when you hear stories about the gentleman from mesa at his -- that his 21-year-old son was murdered working at a q circle. that's devastatindevastating. they want to legalize all of these people? come on! >> it happened just about a year ago. >> it's terrible. >> it shouldn't be a partisan issue, but it should be an american issue. how can that be changed if you think that's the case? >> well, you know, everybody can speculate and think about why they leave the borders open and they don't do their job. a lot of us believe that they want them here. the bottom line is if they didn't, they would let the border patrol do their job and enforce the rule of law on the border, but you know, they are told to stand down.

>> is she planning on extending obamacare, apa to cover people under obamacare? when you get ill, your illness will not ask you if an immigrant or not. >> regardless of immigration status, regardless of citizenship. >> that's chelsea clinton giving a pretty clear answer about her mother planning to provide obama to el lil -- illegal immigrants. byron york, chess -- chelsea doesn't speak accidentally. she's one of the smartest people in the world, obviously, so she didn't say this by accident, right? >> no, not at all. hillary clinton is under pressure in many ways to move left on many issues, and we know that bernie sanders has talked
about medicare for all. they have tangled over health care at a couple of their debates, it makes a lot of sense for hillary clinton to try to get closer to bernie not only on the health care issue but on the immigration issue. >> what's so striking about this? this is something we've debated for years, the question whether obamacare would cover ul -- illegal aliens and they have assured us over and over, no, not under any circumstance? >> there were a lot of promises that democrats had to make to pass obamacare in the first place. back in 2010. remember you can keep your health care plan and keep your doctor. the president said obamacare would save the average household $2,500 a year in premiums. these were promises they had to make in order to get enough democrats to vote for the bill and one of those promises was that it would not be open to
illegal immigrants, people in the united states illegally would not be able to benefit from it. even when the president passed or enacted doca, his executive order legalizing millions of people who had come to the country illegally as children, he made clear that they would not be eligible for obamacare under this. this is something the administration and democrats have promised the voters many times, but things have changed and now you have both democrats in favor of it. >> the cost is really high. $50,000 the estimated cost of obamacare for taxpayers per enrollee over the next ten years. there are millions of people here illegally. this is not a small story. it's not on the front page of any papers i get at home. why is that? >> what a mystery. perhaps it's a little too wonky. i don't know. you are absolutely right because people who are here illegally tend to have lower skill levels
than others, they tend to make less than others, and if federal benefits were available to them, they would tend to probably consume more in federal benefits than the average taxpayer. so you are right. this would add an enormous amount. you have to remember hillary clinton is running against a man who is promising a single payer universal health care system. this is her way of catching up because she has said she wants to fix the system. let me take you back one more thing. remember tom harkin he was the very liberal democratic senator from iowa. back in the obamacare debate, there were liberals complaining about this. they were saying well, it's not universal. it doesn't have a public option. we don't like it. it's not liberty enough. tom harkin said look at it like a starter house. we'll add a room here and room there and it will be the universal plan you wanted. >> thanks for joining us.

amazingly, he only had minor injuries. a florida man tries to buy a $60,000 bmw by using food stamps. he was denied. he made it nearly 70 miles away before the car ran out of gas after stealing the car. he was charged with theft. the fbi wrapped up its investigation at molecular -- merced university in california. this report is just a part of a larger government pattern of down playing terrorist threats on u.s. soil. one critic is john price, his son was hailed a hero when he tried to stop the attack. so your response to this report
and nowhere in it do they stop short of calling it terrorism. what was your response when you heard the fbi wrapped up its investigation? >> well, first off, i was just glad that they wrapped it up. it's been six months and you hear things and people would call and ask me questions or give me tidbits of information that they had allegedly discovered and it's all over the map. it's nice to hear them saying this is what they found. >> they say they found no co-couldnnspirator co-conspirators or ties to foreign terrors. may have self-radicalized. this guy had an isis flag when he's apprehended. what do you make of that conclusion? >> the word they used self-radicalized, we won't ever
know. he didn't leave the big long laundry list of demands. he was on isis websites. he was listening to those voices and acting on lots of things. there were lots of groups he was looking at, i think. so we have to say was he impacted by that and yeah, he was. it's real obvious. it's one of the things that frustrating for me. it seems like local, the people who are actually looking at this are finding out things, but i don't know if -- i don't know if the people above them are saying, well, wait a minute, this was a domestic terrorist. >> so you think it might be systemic. these local law enforcement finding things, this is terrorism and they may be handed something from higher ups in washington, d.c., we don't want to label it terrorism. we want to say this is some crazy guy. >> yeah. it could be. you know, remember, it took the
administration 60 years to say that the ft. hood incident was a domestic terrorist and the guy was yelling and screaming allah ak bar. it's really obvious. just because he didn't have a wing man that give him guns, doesn't mean he wasn't intending to strike terror and wasn't a wanna-be terrorist. it's unfortunate. i feel bad for his family. certainly am happy that we didn't lose a child in this, but let's call things what they are. don't -- don't pretend that he wasn't radicalized. >> right. that's what isis was calling for. self-radicalization, lone wolf attacks. i want to hear from our viewers who weren't familiar with what your son did that day. what did he do?
>> he was working on campus. we had a construction company. he had a job site there. he heard what he thought was a fight. then he heard chairs being thrown. he said, hey, guys, this is an older female professor. she's not going to be able to handle this. i got to break up this fight. as soon as he opened the door, they yelled run, run, run and around this door game a guy wielding a 8 to 10-inch knife. he said it was like a screen movie. he came over the top of him. he look him right in the eyes. this guy was spooky. he said this guy was actually having fun. >> wow. terrifying. that is terror. john, great to see you this morning. >> thank you again, clayton. >> we appreciate it. coming up here on the show, we've been showing you the anti-trump protests in new york and arizona all morning. is an angry and divided america on a collision course? peter johnson, jr is up next. we've been falling this all

[ chanting ] protesters angry at donald trump getting more extreme by the day, blocking traffic, smashing glass at trump headquarters and getting in fights. is an angry and divided america on a collision course? >> with itself. the conventional understanding is you've got a right to protest slongeds you don't, as long as you don't kbrink on my -- impinge on my freedom of speech. >> you can protest in any manner that the law allows. you can't shut down a road and you can't hurt someone and you can't make people fear that they are going to suffer violence by going into a rally. and so we are on a collision course in america because we have a clash of revolutions in america. let me explain that. on one side is the trump revolution, which is a populist,
conservative based revolution. on the other hand we have a socialist revolution, and some an arcists mixed in that you see in these protesters that want to shut down rallies. we saw it in arizona yesterday. we saw it in chicago last week. we'll see it in other cities across the country. anger for many people, especially on the left, has become an ideology. >> is it real anger? >> it is real anger, yes. >> you get these moveon.org sending out emails and getting people riled up and when people with cameras and microphones are there, these people can't answer why they are there? >> everyone gets upset and say this is really bad for america and we got to be careful. at this point, we have to be careful. anger is not a solution. it's not an ideology. anger should be a point of
inspiration for future construction. not for deconstruction. not for taking america apart. anger should be a motivation, not a point of desperation. so when the people on the left resort to these kind of tactics and the people on the right sometimes unfortunately mimic them in the notion when you go into a rally and you see someone taken out of a rally who has perhaps committed a crime to sucker punkl that person. that's wrong. >> we're seeing the trump campaign headquarters, a guy tried to pick up a big potted plant and decides to grab a garbage can instead. >> there's no eqifle lens si. i think people admire the ability of americans to go in in
a trump rally a lot more than they admire the people of a 1,000 people or 2,000 people to act in a destructive way to shut it down and shut the first amendment down. the issue becomes who is the true fast fascist in america. a lot of people want to say donald trump is a fascist. he's engage in xenophobic speech. that's all up for debate. it's about debate. it's not about violence. and it's not about me pulling on you, tucker, or you, anna or you, clayton, and say don't go into that rally. >> there's this idea that there is a stark limit to free speech and it begins at the point at which i disagree with your speech. i get to call it hate speech and you no longer have the right to utter that speech. that's nowhere in the constitution. >> hate speech does not exist under the constitution. fighting words are not allowed
under the constitution, but so-called hate speech, one person's hate speech is another person's public policy sometimes. i disagree with donald trump on a lot of issues but i also see why a lot of americans value him as a new leader in america. all new leaders, all ideas have to be heard and compete in a battle ground of ideas, not in a battle ground of closing roads and physicians and threats of violence and we're seeing threats of violence and fists being thrown from people who want to go to trump rallies. that's wrong in america today. that has to be stopped, and democrats have to speak out against it, and donald trump needs to speak out against it. all elected and political leaders need to speak out, wrong across the board. don't need it. >> don't hold your breath. >> thank you. >> thanks, peter. 38 minutes after the hour. fox news alert, turkey is

broader economy this upcoming weekend. we are heading to the end of the first quarter. corporate earnings are going to start coming out march 31. obviously the end of the quarter, and now people are looking at earnings being up, which is a positive. i think the recession fears have begun to fade which is very good. >> also, we've had a warmer spring. it seemed like it came in february. >> yeah, it did. >> going to the local home depot, you can't find a parking space. you think you'll see that in retail numbers. >> people have been buying things, buying homes and cars, the big ticket items. it impacts things like home depot and home-related retail. beyond that, we're not seeing consumers spending the money they are saving at the gas pump. retail sales continue to be flat. i think the market and the economy, we need a catalyst. i think the election could be one such catalyst and certainly
expectations going into the election, but it's still very -- it's still very fragile. all i think is yes, things have begun to get better but we're still looking at 1% which is nothing to write home about. >> people buying cars, is anyone worried about debt? >> i think you make such a good point. debt and defs sits -- deficit are not part of the zeigeist. $19 trillion in debt, as interest rates go higher. just the costs of our interest payments on the debt becomes a choke hold. before rates start taking off, i don't think happen any time soon, we need a better plan in terms of entitlement, in terms of getting the debt down. >> they are buying homes and
cars and also the easter bunny is investing in nice easter eggs. it looks like they are going to seeing $17.3 billion, is that a good economic indicator? >> i think it's small, but it definitely gives you a sense of sentiment and that's what you want to see. going into the easter holiday, spending does typically pick up for things like that. it's a small portion of the overall retail story, certainly. it's nice to see and important to see if you are going to see a broad change in sentiment. markets, beginning of the year, remember how horrible it was? all of that panic? we're up on the year right now. >> you have a huge show, rinse preebis. >> i was to get his take is there a path for anyone other than trump? what does an open convention
look like? the cruz campaign thinks there's a clear path, he can gain strength in utah, california, arizona. we'll talk to him about that. then we've got the senior policy adviser to the trust campaign, stephen miller coming on. talk about little substance from trump. we're going to get into substance with stephen miller. >> 11 minutes, your show starts. >> thank you. come back with michael w. smith. ddr this little guy is about to make his first deposit. we'd like to open a savings account for him. yes yes. great thanks to mom and dad and their safe driving bonus check from allstate. oh. look at this. safe driving bonus. are you a safe driver? lucky little fella. only allstate gives you two safe driving bonus checks a year for driving safe. see how much more an allstate agent can do for you. call 877-644-3100. like in most families, dad's always the last to know. that's why accident forgiveness was the first thing he asked for when he switched to allstate.

story like you've never seen told through popular music. joining us is grammy-winning christian singer michael w. smith, who stars as one of jesus' disciples. nice to see you. >> thanks for having me on. >> playing one of the disciples. how did you prepare for that, michael? >> well, you know what, i'm not sure i did prepare. i think we all just kind of got in the moment when we get on the set. i mean, this is something completely different. we're not in robes and sandals. this is current, you know, current time as if jesus came in 2016. so, i think we kind of really, honestly, got in character when we all sort of got together, when i met all these other guys. i call us a band of brothers. and gin carlos, who plays jesus, did an incredible job sort of rallying us all together. and it really did feel like we had known each other for a long, long time, after day one, believe it or not. >> so, no robes or sandals. what is the modern-day disciple wear? >> well, i just -- i had on a
few layers of just kind of, you know, just what i'd normally wear. i didn't wear a sport coat, just kind of jeans and t-shirts and maybe a shirt, you know. everybody kind of was pretty casual, which is, again, sort of something that's never been done before. >> also something that's never really been done before, blending the bible and pop music. was there any difficulty there? >> well, not as far as i know. i mean, this is a -- adam anders is the musical director and executive producer of this thing, and he saw this in holland and couldn't understand a thing they were saying. it was all in dutch, but he felt it and he said, we have got to bring this back to america, you know, we have got to bring it here. and so, i think he started finding all these songs that really seemed to really connect with the story of jesus in his last days on earth. and i think he did an incredible job. "unconditional" being one those songs, a katy perry song. it's amazing. you sort of scratch your head at
first, pop music going to the last days of christ. then you look at these songs and you go, wow, they all fit perfectly. at least in my opinion, they do. pretty incredible. >> also in new orleans. how does it fit in new orleans and what was it like to shoot it there? >> well, i think there's a couple things. tyler perry's narrating. he's from new orleans. but i think it's sort of -- there's a parallel here of a city that really pretty much died with hurricane katrina and watching the city come back to life. i think it was somewhat strategic that we do it there. i mean, it could have been done anywhere in america. >> right. >> but it was fabulous. it was a great backdrop. the sets and being on the french quarter and the river walk. pretty incredible. >> what do you want people to take away from tonight's event? >> you know, i think that -- i think, ultimately, i think i would love for people to see jesus for who he really was. i mean, we think there's so many misconceptions of who he was. he was a man, and he loved these
guys. and ultimately, he came to die on the cross and be the savior of the world. it's the greatest story ever told, which in my opinion happens to be true. so, i think you're going to see jesus in a different light, and i think it's going to connect. >> well, we will see this modern take on this classic story. michael w. smith, great to see you this morning. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> we should mention, "the passion" airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox broadcast network. nice to see you, michael. >> you, too. thank you. hey america, still not sure whether to stay or go? ♪ when it's go, the new choice privileges gets you there faster. and now, stay two times and you can earn a free night.

i'll shut up now. that's it for us. >> that was a medical tip? >> that was a medical tip. leave the fat ones alone. "special report" is next. . president obama delivers his state of the union address with foreign policy hot spots getting hotter and domestic proposals already getting major push back on capitol hill. this is "special report." good evening, welcome to washington. we are about three hours from the start of president obama's next to last state of the union speech. this time the president will be on what has become gop home turf. a capital building in complete political control of republicans. that means a focus on plans for massive increases and a middle class tax cut is exploding are
already getting eye rolls from a skeptical audience. one of the biggest skeptic mitch mcconnell will join us next. chief white house correspondent ed henry is live with a preview. >> reporter: aides say the president wants to tout progress in the economy but some major crisis may get in the way. for every state of the union address there are the images the white house wants the public to see such as president obama in the oval office making final preps and then the images of the world burning like the deepening crisis in yemen where the government is facing a coup. and also today iran signing a military alliance with russia. >> i'm not sure how much time president obama will devote to the very serious threats facing this nation. i think americans in such uncertain times first and
foremost crave safety and security and leadership. >> reporter: yemen in flames as rebels took over the presidential palace while shots were fired at a u.s. embaesz vehicle. all of this embarrassing for the commander in chief who four short months ago held it up as a success story. >> recently eliminated the top commander of its affiliate in somalia. this tragedy of taking out terrorists who threaten us is one that we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> reporter: that may be one reason the president created another image today. as he puts less emphasis on national security and more on his plans to double down on tax the rich policies that paint him as the guardian of the middle class. >> creates an opportunity to do right now is to focus on
policies that benefit the middle class. the president thinks that is the best way to grow the economy. >> the president will focus on more domestic policy that will shape his legacy and the 2016 campaign even though the plans are going nowhere fast in the new republican congress. >> let's remember that last year we had the all-time record number of receipts of dollars coming into the united states treasury. what do the democrats want to do? their insatiable desire to raise taxes and pour hundreds of billions of additional dollars into government. that is not going to help grow the economy. >> reporter: aides say the president will be touting cooperation with republicans and are hinting he will be defiant at other times by teeing up more vetoes and more executive action. >> moments ago i spoke with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. i asked what he is expecting
tonight. >> sounds like another campaign speech. i wish the president would remember he is not running again. he has two years left no point in making a campaign speech. what i would love to see since american people have given us divided government and has done very significant things for the country is an emphasis on things that we can agree on. there are a few like trade comprehensive tax reform maybe, infrastructure. if you look at what they released before the speech you may think the president was going to run for reelection. >> take a listen to the white house press secretary talking about this tax plan. >> we have 58 consecutive months of private sector job growth. in the third quarter of last year we saw strongest growth in more than a decade. our economy is demonstrating resilience. this creates opportunity to focus on policies that can benefit the middle class. we can raise the capital gains rate back to the level it was
under president reagan and use that revenue to make sure that middle class kids can go to college and working mom and dads can get an extra tax credit to help afford child care. >> they have it down to the talking points. what is your response? >> it is great that the economy is picking up. nothing like low gas prices to make that happen. i think that is terrific. the question is whether it is a good idea to raise taxes on anybody at this particular point. i mean, we don't need a tax increase. the president got several of them already. rates are very high on most successful people in the country. he is suggesting that we levee a tax on small businesses. i think that is the last thing we ought to be doing. he is certainly correct that the middle class has not enjoyed any kind of recovery. if there has been recovery it has been among people at the top who under this president who is always talking about how terrible it is that people at the top are somehow getting away with something, they have made
out in fine fashion during the obama years. it's the middle and lower income people who are behind. that is because this has been an uneven recovery benefitting only those at the top getting the economy going doing things like approving the keystone pipeline would create 42000 jobs according to his state department is the kind of thing we ought to be doing. >> so they have a lot of bullet points that obviously the president will hit on in the majority of the speech tonight. they said november of 2014 was best year of job growth. most of the overall wage growth exceeded inflation. health care employer premiums lowest rate on record and on energy the u.s. is leading work in oil and natural gas production solar and wind up as well. >> some of those things are true. the government had absolutely nothing to do with the energy boom that we are experiencing.
the job creation if you look at the number of people looking for work, the number of people looking for work is at the lowest level since the carter administration. a lot of people have given up and dropped out. i'm glad the economy is getting better but it is not morning again in america. you would not be able to convince working class americans and lower income americans that they have benefitted from the policies of this administration. basically what the president is apparently going to offer tonight is more of the same tax and spend, tax and spend. >> we asked people to tweet in questions. one came from jay murray. he said could you ask what if anything they have a 67 vote threshold on, a veto proof majority on? is there an issue that you can convince enough democrats to override a veto? >> i hope so but the president doesn't set the agenda in the senate. he is trying to tell us what we should and shouldn't debate based upon what he intends to do
with it. we were elected by the american people, too. they chose a republican congress. the president doesn't set our agenda. i hope that he will end up agreeing with us on some of the initiatives that we are going to pass most of which will enjoy bipartisan support members of his own party supporting like the keystone pipeline. if he chooses not to do it then the american people understand we just have a different point of view about how to get the country moving again. >> do you see this as a first card putting down in the negotiation or do you think it is so far apart from what you have heard that this is just vision for his legacy and his party? >> it is hard to be encouraged by the utterances that the president has made in almost a de defiant way since the november election which was a defeat for his party not only at the congressional level but state and local level, as well. i don't think the american people were sending a message that they were happy or wanted
more of the same. they were saying we want a fully divided government. we would like for you guys to figure out things you can agree on. they were not saying that they wanted the president of the united states to set the agenda in the new majority in the united states senate. we are going to do what we think the american people expect us to do try to move the country in a different direction. i hope he will sign on. if he doesn't the american people understand we have a different point of view. >> on foreign policy you have a different point of view. if you look at the world at the map you have yemen today, libya, iraq afghanistan syria iran signing a military deal with russia today, troubles in ukraine, what do you say about this president's foreign policy? >> he went to cairo and said if we work out more things would be better. he did not leave a residual force behind in iraq. when the ukrainians asked for
military assistance to defend themselves we sent blankets and meals ready to eat. i think our adversaries around the world think america is in retreat. so they react accordingly feeling that they can be pretty aggressive. take the iran nuclear issue. we already had two extensions. there will probably be a third. the iranians know the president loves to talk. >> will sanctions go forward? >> i hope so. what the iranians need to know and we can be helpful to the president on even though he doesn't want it is to say to them if at the end of the current discussion supposedly to end this summer there is no deal you get tougher sanctions. you don't get them now but you get them if there is no outcome. >> you don't think it blows up the deal? >> no because the talks continue but you know there needs to be an end date to it or you get a worse case of sanctions. if there is an agreement it
needs to come to congress to be approved so that we have part ownership of this, as well. the american people don't expect this policy to be 100% unilateral on behalf of the president only. >> guantanamo bay the president, this administration seems adamant that they are going to close it one way or another. is congress going to let them cephal. >> we are going to do everything we can to prevent that. guantanamo bay is the perfect place for these foreign terrorists. the administration's policy has been two fold either to kill them with drones. i don't necessarily oppose that but a dead terrorist can't talk or to capture a terrorist overseas and put them in a u.s. court where they are given a lawyer and told to shutup. the most important thing you can get from a terrorist is information. guantanamo bay is the perfect place for the location of foreign terrorists who can give us information to thwart the next attack.
>> do you expect to be standing up and applauding much tonight? >> i will applaud for trade and maybe a few other lines but i think it entirely depends on how the president presents himself. >> as always thank you. please join me for complete coverage of the president's address and the republican response will begin at 8:55 eastern time. we will have an expanded panel and wisconsin republican will join us live. up next how tonight's state of the union address sets the stage for the 2016 presidential race. first a look at what the fox affiliates across the country are covering. six members of a family are unaccounted for as a fierce fire reduced a waterfront mansion to scorched stone framework. relatives say they believe the six were inside at the time of
the blaze. khon in honolulu where pro golfer thanks a woman who he says saves his life. he says he was kidnapped, robbed and beaten friday night. the woman says she saw him arguing with two men and intervened. he says he does not remember most of what happened. this is a live look at cincinnati from fox 19 and the scene of a deadly construction accident that shut down the southbound lanes of interstate 75. an overpass collapsed and killed a worker last night. officials are not sure when the lanes will reopen. that is a live look from "special report." ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.
we are expecting a heavy dose of what the president calls paying your fair share and what republicans call class warfare tonight in the state of the union address.
that will likely be a foundation of the democratic play book in 2016. chief political correspondent is here tonight with thoughts on that. obviously 2016 gop presidential contenders disagree with most of what the president will propose tonight. >> mitt romney and jeb bush were here in d.c. today to raise money off the opposition of president's proposals. they scheduled fundraisers around the state of the union knowing conservatives will probably be eager to write big checks. romney and bush are not giving interviews, no reaction to the state of the union but they expect the president will be setting the table for 2016 for hillary clinton with a speech of not very subtle messages of that class warfare. >> can clinton pull that off? doesn't the democratic party think she is too cozy? >> sure. they do. she is not really going to help herself tomorrow. turns out clinton will give two speeches in canada that raise
eyebrows all over again. they are co-hosted by the bank of commerce which is being investigated by the u.s. by helping wealthy americans evade taxes. bad timing and precisely why the warren wing will continue to show misgivings. >> i am sure we will hear populous messages. aren't the gop prospects sounding more populous? >> they want to cut taxes so people can keep more of their money. the trick for both parties will be developing a growing economy. it is a gop field but four are getting special attention this weekend. kentucky senator rand paul, scott walker marco rubio and ted cruz have gotten much coveted invitations to speak to a freedom partners conference this weekend. for the conservative philanthropy of the koch
brothers. they have an obvious affinity for rand paul. walker is a conservative governor of a blue state who fought free labor and won. rubio can help grow the gop. cruz is a tea party rebel known for bucking the establishment. the republicans are going to seize what the president says today and campaign against it for the next year and a half. >> we will follow it all. ted cruz and rand paul will be on after state of the union tonight. the dow gained four. s&p 500 finished ahead three and nasdaq up 20. how isis terrorists have been a major thorn in president obama's side since the last state of the union speech. first how cuba figures in to tonight's address.
one foreign policy subject we will likely hear a lot about tonight is the effort to restore relations with cuba. james rosen tells us many in the audience have a personal stake in the issue. >> reporter: acuban dissident who spent 17 years in the castro brothers jail will attend the state of the union as the honored guest of house speaker boehner. marco rubio is bringing daughter of a slain cuban dissident. seated with the first lady will be allen gross, the usaid subcontractor detained in cuba and freed as part of the secret diplom
diplomacy. mr. obama's allies pleaded for bipartisan support in the lifting of trade and travel restrictions that only congress can overturn. >> the president is moving in areas of trade and travel as we hope he will do to expand these opportunities, but we have to do our part in congress. >> reporter: when she leads the u.s. delegation to cuba assistant secretary of state will raise issues. >> i do not think we are talking about direct human rights condition ality in the restoration of diplomatic relations. >> this is clearly a one-sided approach by the president to give the cubans a major moral and political victory in. >> in the book back channel. its co-author predicts the president's initiative will face
real trouble in the gop-controlled congress. >> one of the earliest battles will be when the president nominates an ambassador and senate confirmation will be rough. >> another hurdle will be appropriations for converting into an embassy. aides to secretary of state kerry that if he decides by june the opening of the embassy will proceed. the supreme court as unanimously ruled that a muslim prison inmate in arkansas can grow a short beard for religious reasons. the justices said the state could not substantiate claims that it posed a risk. how isis made 2014 a very long year for president obama.

that jv team now controls a third of syria and iraq. at least year's state of the union here is how the president described iraq. >> when i took office nearly 180,000 americans were serving in iraq and afghanistan. today all our troops are out of iraq. >> reporter: a year later 3200 u.s. troops are back in iraq. the pentagon announced last week it is sending another 1,000 to the region to train the syrian opposition but that training won't start until the spring. >> there is an aspect of our strategy that has not yet taken root which is the effort to train and equip moderate syrian opposition fighters. >> what is the current strategy? >> exactly what has the air campaign accomplished in either iraq or syria to date? to just have some kind of
meaningful summary of where we are and where we are going would be a very welcome change. >> reporter: here is the goal the president set in september. >> our objective is clear. we will degrade and ultimately destroy isil. >> that is not possible are air strikes alone. >> the approach is not to defeat isis from air. you don't dictate in states from air. you can't control territory. you can't influence people. you can't maintain lines of control after you have established them. that will take a ground force. >> meantime canadian special forces accompanying iraqi troops monday to the front lines in northern iraq became the first western forces to find themselves in a fire fight with isis. a canadian sniper neutralized the threat according to canadian officials. >> thank you. some 200 police officers raided 13 homes in berlin and elsewhere in germany looking for evidence
in a nationwide terrorism investigation. a spokesman says the raids were mostly on close associates of two suspected terror cell members. authorities say a group of turkish extremist terrorists procured funding. the obama administration says it released a former al qaeda operative from an american prison prior to completion of his sentence due to quote time served. he admitted to plotting against civilian targets. >> al qaeda detainee identified him specifically as a sleeper operative whose task it was to facilitate additional al qaeda members in follow on attacks. >> i think it is important to remember that the judge considered this a very serious offense and the judge's words was that he did not believe that he truly rejeblthed or was sorry for what he did when he came
here and that he would do it again. >> he has been repatrioted to qatar. a pope generally applauded for his stance tenor and tone on many issues is calling for catholics to use common sense and not quote breed like rabbits. more on the statement that raised some eyebrows. >> reporter: pope francis is making head lines yet again this time for remarks he made regarding the size of catholic families which he says can be regulated within the guidelines that prohibit using artificial birth control. >> translator: some think that in order to be good catholics we have to be like rabbits. >> reporter: catholics for choice that opposes the teachings on birth control and abortion called the comments troubling adding the stereotype
of catholic rabbit breeding is an insult for those who choose to ignore some other person's judgment on the right number of children to have. pope francis should respect and defend our rights and not deny them. executive director of priest for life says she believes the pope is speaking more freely but acknowledges that can open him up to more criticism. >> unfortunately, people want the church's teachings to change. what has to change is our hearts. we have to change our hearts because if you want to grow closer to the lord it's changing your heart that will do that. >> reporter: in his remarks this weekend pope francis said catholics should engage in responsible parenthood and told the story of a woman he met in rome who was pregnant with her eighth child caasking does she want to leave the seven orphans. >> the pope clarified comments
following the "charlie hebdo" massacre. on monday the pope said human beings in theory have the freedom to express themselves but added there is also prudence. >> thank you. syria, yemen, libya, iran, europe. the focus of the state of the union address is expected to be here at home. we will talk about it with the panel after a short break.

the house tried to keep out all the water, but water got inside and ruined everybody's everythings. the house thought she let the family down. they just didn't think it could happen. they told the house they would take better care of her... always. announcer: protect what matters. get flood insurance. this is a fox news alert. we received excerpts of the president's state of the union address. iraq and syria american leadership including our military power is stopping isil's advance instead of getting dragged into another ground war in the middle east we are leading a broad coalition to degrade and ultimately destroy this terrorist group. we are supporting a moderate opposition in syria that can help us in this effort and
assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism. we will succeed. tonight i call on congress to show the world that we are united in this mission by passing a resolution to authorize the use of force against isil. a lot of places are blowing up essentially. one of them is yemen. take a listen to the president 4 1/2 months ago on that issue. >> we targeted al qaeda's affiliate in yemen. recently eliminated the top commander of its affiliate in somalia. this strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. >> now there is an effort to watch and monitor to see if the embassy there has to be evacuated. let's bring in our panel, george will national political correspondent and steve heys. george, thoughts? >> because the president has
been so aggressive in asserting his power in domestic policy making, unilateral changes on affordable care act and immigration he is going to get a pushback in regard to foreign policy where presidential policy is normally at epiagy. that is with regard to iran and the question of sanctions that congress will clearly assert itself to his discomfort. with regard to cuba the same thing because people are convinced that the president asked for nothing and got nothing in return for extending u.s. relaxationf oour relations with them. we have a paradox. where the president should be most powerful he will find himself under considerable fire. >> as we take a look at this map of all the hot spots that are happening now and it doesn't look good yemen down there on the bottom we are getting word from a senior u.s. official that
they moved into the red sea and could be used in the evacuation of u.s. embassy in yemen. they have marines on board and there is no guarantee that the u.s. embassy is evacuated that the ships will be used but are moving into position to do just that. yemen is a big story tonight. >> sounds like the u.s.-backed government will fall to the rebels. i think on some foreign policy issues the president very early in the term is going to get pushback from congress that is successful. there are probably 60 votes for that bill in congress that would put sanctions on iraq tougher sanctions if the fails. the president has begged congress give me more time, hold your fire. but i think that would be big problem for him, filibuster group majority voted for that. yemen is a problem. this is the president who just one year ago in his state of the
union address said we have to get off our permanent war footing and the world hasn't cooperated. >> what about iran? today russia and iran sign a military agreement. take a listen to the iranian defense minister. >> translator: the united states' policies of interference in regional and international affairs and how to counter factors that create crisis when confronting the interference of forces from outside the region. >> iran and russia on the state of the union address tonight. >> iran and russia have had friendly relations for a long time. russia has been helpful in ways that we didn't want russia to be helpful with iran in the past. i think what we are seeing in comments like that we are seeing in announcements like the ones that we have seen is our enemies are not afraid to challenge the
united states. almost seem to take delight in the fact that they can tweak us and poke us without any concern of reprival. i think that is one of the problems that president obama faces with his foreign policy and i one of the reasons why i think we won't hear a lot. >> a couple of excerpts they put out deal with foreign policy. what about this release of this al qaeda operative who was supposed to be a sleeper al qaeda operative. >> sent him here before 9/11 to activate cells to conduct followen attacks after the 9/11 attacks. according to news reports the obama administration is basically just freed him and let him walk in qatar. he was supposed to get out on what was a very sweet plea deal in 2018. he has been set free. i talked to some intelligence folks today who say if you look
at twitter they are celebrating the fact that this guy who was a sleeper agent who would help lead the follow on attacks after 9/11 is just a free man. >> how much do you think we will hear about that effort against terrorism and closing gitmo in the speeches tonight? >> i think very little in the excerpt that you read. the president said what he wants an authorization for the use of force against isil. the middle east is like scrambled eggs right now. it is very hard to separate one group from the other. we had the group we were supposed to worry about at some point. we are working on behalf of the vetted moderates in syria. we said president assad of syria must go. how do you draw an authorization for use of force on one component of this? i know the incoming chairman of the foreign relations committee and others are astonished that the president says he wants an authorization for the use of force but hasn't said about what.
if this is what he wants it for it will be narrow indeed. >> this white house has their hands full with a lot of different issues. >> they have their hands full with foreign policy. the authorization for use of force is something that congress wants to pass. this is something he could get. he has to say what he wants it for and limitations. i think it is one of the few things he can get through. >> a lot of talk about leadership. i believe in a smarter kind of american leadership. we lead best when we combine military power with strong diplomacy and leverage power and don't let our fears blind us to the opportunities that this new century presents. that is exactly what we are doing now and around the globe it is making a difference. >> it's a -- i'm struck by the fact that this administration after six years of what i think many regard is a disastrous foreign policy is using the phrase smart power trying to sell the idea that what they are
doing is so much smarter than the foreign policy execution than what we have seen in the past. part of the problem is when he says our fears blind us to better leadership to smarter conduct of foreign policy. he seems not to understand that there are some things that should cause us fear. you are talking about these groups that want to threaten the united states. you are talking about iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror with a nuclear weapon. it is interesting to hear him saying it in this context is to down play the concerns. he has done it from the beginning of his administration and did it when he was in the senate suggesting this is a gross overreaction. i think we will continue to find out that it is not. next up domestic issues in what republicans are already calling class warfare. hey! guess what day it is?? >>hump day! hummmp daaay! it's hump day! >>yeah! >>hey mike! mike mike mike mike mike! >>mike mike mike mike mike. hey! he knows! hey! guess what day it is!
hey! camel! guess what day it is! >>it's not even wednesday. let it go, phil. if you're a camel, you put up with this all the time. it's what you do. (sigh) if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. ok... you know.... there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. mmmm. these are good! the tasty side of fiber. from phillips
we were by the american people too. they chose divided government. they chose a republican congress. the president doesn't set our agenda. i hope that he will end up agreeing with us on some of the initiatives that we are gonna pass. most of which will enjoy bipartisan support, members of his own party supporting like the keystone pipeline. but, if he chooses not to do it, then the american people will understand we just have a different point of view about how to get the country moving again. >> if republicans have a different vision, if there are some areas where they disagree, they are welcome to say so. if they think it's more important to protect that loop whom for people who have trust funds, then they can certainly make that case. the president believes that community college education is more important for middle class families. >> domestic issues in the state of the union address. we're back with the panel. mara, what about this? is this the beginning of a negotiation or is this just
what we have seen many times? two parties on many different sides of this issue? >> i think it's both. it's an opening bid but it's also laying out his vision bowers he wants to frame the debates of the next two years and set the table for 2016 his way. he has decided after 2010 he moved to the republican's issues, tried to talk about the deficit. tried to get a big deal. it didn't work out so well. so now he is saying we are not going to talk about the deficit. we are not going to talk about the size of the government. we are going to talk about how with the economy growing can we address this question of wage stagnation and inequality. he has a lot of popular proposals. not will raising rates closing loopholes that sound pretty unclear. the trust fund loophole. how much inherited wealth is tax base; that's what he is going to push: i think he would like to have a deal on tax reform with republican congress. they have wanted not just corporate. this is his entry into that debate. >> of course that trust fund
loophole death tax would be two times that money. george? >> the president is going to unfuller a mission accomplished economy. which is why we are growing again and everyone is back to work. we don't need to worry about entitlement reform. therefore we don't need to worry about the structural deficit. that is to say no more irresponsible. but, the way voters think of success in the economy is jobs. unemployment is down to 5.6%. but only because primarily because so many people, particularly american men in prime working years have left the workforce. if the workforce participation rate today were as high as it was when barack obama was inaugurated president six years ago. the unemployment would be 9.9%. if this is success, we have defined success down. >> we should point out that the republican response is
by freshman republican senator joni ernst from iowa. they have just put out on her behalf some excerpts as well. there you see her practicing for this response. among the excerpts, quote: americans have been hurting when we demanded solutions too often washington responded with the same failed mind set obamacare. a mind set that gave us political talking points not serious solutions. tough job republican response or any response. >> it is a tough job. i hope she offers some serious one of the things i think republicans have done poorly in the first couple weeks of this new congress is offer an alternative. republicans seem to me to have given the president an opening. remember, after the election voters had great confidence in republicans. republicans favorability was 47. disfavorability was 47. that was the highest it had been in years. i think voters chose republicans in part because they wanted to see republicans do things. what we have seen from the republican congress so far is a lot of talk. we haven't seen them do
things. why didn't republicans come out with a middle class tax reform package that included individual -- adjustments to individual rates or something that would have blown up the irs. they didn't do any of that i think, unfortunately, for republicans, the president has sort of seized the initiative on that. i think it's going to be very hard for him to sell this as truly beneficial to the middle class but he is out there first. he is making this proposal. i think they have sort of backed themselves into a corner. >> there is a reason for that. they can't agree. they have spent years trying to come up with alternative to obamacare. dave camp came one tax reform proposal which they threw in the waste basket what i have k. see. >> not that they can't agree they also lack the will. if you remember the interview that mitch mcconnell gave to the "the washington post" at the beginning of the month. he said basically our job here as a congress is not to mess up the playing field. he said that for very under staneldable reasons. i guess i think the job of the republican congress is to provide be bold and make the case. >> couldn't vote for the
mcconnell interview on this show. you had to go to the "the washington post"? >> he didn't say that he to. >> you where they agree, the president writes the law. the republicans is the corporate tax rate is too high. but republicans are understandably low loathe to start out by doing something for big business. >> they should be. that would send, i think in my view the wrong message. >> that is it for the panel. stay tuned to see how secretary kerry could have handled his trip to paris perhaps a little bit differently.

i'm done. he tries to get out. watch kerry says i tell you what though? >> i am never letting you go. >> phase one didn't go off according to plan but certainly phase 2 will win french hearts and minds. >> secretary kerry brought james taylor to perform you have got a friend for the people of france.

bun, trying to figure it out. >> man bun. the ugly. two people under arrest after a fight over crab legs turns violent. police say the 21-year-old man was punched in the face at a connecticut buff a. unclear what sparked the disagreement. >> underlying issues there. election coverage continues at the top of the hour. good to be with you. >> have a good day, everyone. >> "fox & friends" starts now. bye. good monday morning. i'm ainsley earhardt. the state of wisconsin on the eve of the contest. and a protester stomping the american flag. >> oh, boy. >> not acceptable. with donald trump and ted cruz in a tight battle, cruz hits on john kasich. well, hits back against john kasich. >> that's okay, go to the convention, and announce you want to be president. you shouldn't be littering up the process because that's what he's doing. >> cruz and trump hitting back
against john kasich. we'll talk about it. we're live in wisconsin. and ahead of the primary, donald trump gets personal. >> i want to win, and i'll be so presidential you won't believe it. i will be the most boring -- >> what does that mean to be presidential to you? >> his answer on presidential-ness might surprise you. and country music's biggest stars under the same roof, in the same room at the acm awards. watch. ♪ yes, the big night for jason aldean, and the touching tributes everyone is talking about this morning because we watched so you didn't have to. we'll bring you the highlights because mornings, at least according to ainsley and steve, better with friends. >> always, of course. we have been working out of this studio complex here in midtown manhattan for coming up
on 20 years. today is a very special day because just one block away from us, where we're sitting now, a chick-fil-a will open at 6:30 this morning. and brian, i'm buying you breakfast. ♪ >> you, too. >> chicken for breakfast again. fantastic. >> you obviously haven't had it. >> i love being from the south. it's the first stop i make off the plane when i go home. they did not have a chick-fil-a in new york for all the ten years that i've lived here until recently. now we have two, and they're both within like seven or ten blocks of fox news. >> fantastic. >> we appreciate that. anyway, we'll send maria over this morning. it's a big day in new york city and a big day, as well, out in the world of politics. let's get right to the race for the white house and take a look at this. protester, yep, that's an american flag on the ground. protesters stomping on it outside a trump rally wisconsin. >> the blatant show of disrespect as the candidates battle for votes ahead of tomorrow's primary. >> fox news senior national correspondent john roberts back in action in the badger state
with the latest. john? >> reporter: good morning to you. yeah, that group outside not only the trump rally in west of wisconsin but also outside the greta van susteren town hall last night. a group called "f your flag," protesting racism in america. clearly that's a legitimate thing to protest. it's their tactics that have drawn fire because they put a big american flag down and walk all over it. last night, a lot of tension, people upset about the fact that they're doing that. one man said my brother is serving in the military overseas, pick up the flag. they wouldn't. another said, my father died for this country, i'm demanding you pick up the flag, but they wouldn't. there was pushing and shoving. police called. eventually the whole thing went away. tactics like that definitely do get people upset in this country. people of all partnership stripes, not just republicans. -- all political stripes could not just republicans. on the campaign trail, donald trump hoping to pull out a win tomorrow. it's increasingly looking like a long shot. the polls going the wrong way for trump. 42 delegates up for grabs.
he'd like to have a lot of those. he may only come away with a few. one of the people he's blaming for perhaps not doing as well as he would like in wisconsin is john kasich with his continued presence in the race. here's what trump had to say about that last night at the rally in west alice. >> if he wants -- he wants to get to the convention. that's okay. go to the convention, and announce you want to be president. you shouldn't be littering up the process because that's what he's doing. >> reporter: on that front, he's getting support from ted cruz who would like to see kasich drop out. here's what cruz told me yesterday. >> well, listen, it's not surprising that kasich is throwing rocks at us. the facts are sierchl -- john kasich cannot be the nominee. he's mathematically challenged. he needs more than the 100 remaining delegates. that can't happen. >> reporter: john kasich happy to keep trolling along in the bus hoping to make it to the convention where he believes in a floor fight he will become the nominee. here's what kasich told me about
that. >> the other guys, one needs 90%. the other needs 60% of the neither are retaining that. so we're going to go to a convention, and when you talk about a real long shot, we've had ten contested conventions with republicans and only three times did the leader prevail. >> reporter: history may be on kasich's side. at least he believes it will. donald trump trying to pull out all the snops wisconsin at the 11th hour to pull off a win. got three events today. he's bringing melania trump out to tell americans here in wisconsin, hey, if i can love my husband, maybe you can love him a little bit, too. >> that's so good. john, the one thing is, there was a ten-point distance before the whole blowup and governor scott walker's endorsement. there was a ten-point lead for walker. then we see a cbs tracking poll, it's down to six for cruz. does it show maybe that the walker impact isn't as great, or do you look at it as an outlier? >> reporter: you know, he see --
seems popular in green bay, milwaukee, in lacrosse, a little bit less. trump tends to do well in the northern central, western part of the state. walker by virtue of that, cruz in the south and eastern part of the state. we'll see, though, you know, there's things happening here on the campaign trail that suggest that donald trump may already be in his mind at least moving on to new york. we'll keep watching that. >> where he's way ahead. john roberts live in wisconsin. thank you very much. >> interesting that you bring up scott walker. last night you probably watched the town hall. greta hosted the town hall in wisconsin and asked him about scott walker. scott walker was friends with donald trump before this went down, before they were running against each other. >> trump gave walker money and said, go ahead, win re-election. >> she asked, how do you feel about him endorsing cruz? this is what he had to say -- >> in wisconsin, you take a look, your manufacturing jobs in wisconsin are way, way down. you know, i used to think wonderful things about wisconsin. i was given a plaque by governor walker because i supported him. i gave him a lot of money.
i supported him. the truth is -- >> he's not supporting you -- >> he's not. you know why, because i knocked him out of the presidenty in two minutes. [ applause ] >> also, donald trump was queried by greta and the town hall folks. you know, sometimes on twitter and elsewhere, you get personal. you know what, he made it clear last night, donald trump did, you do get -- he does get personal when you cross a line and talk about his hair. >> i wanted to win, and i'll be so presidential you won't believe it. i will be the most boring -- >> what does that mean to you? >> it means maybe not be so aggressive, maybe not get so personal. when people get personal with me, i mean, they say, oh, they don't like my hair, okay. now, if i ever said didn't like their hair, it would be a headline, he's so bad. they're allowed to say what they want about me. >> headline -- >> i did think it was interesting over the weekend, he said, listen, if i had to do it again, i wouldn't have retwiced the picture of heidi cruz. >> then the hypothetical question about the abortion. he wished he had answered
differently. >> right. >> i mean, shows maybe a little bit of change in tactics. and there was a report that corey luwendowsky has had his role diminished and is responding to the delegate fight should it come to the convention. >> john kasich will be on with greta tonight on her program, on "the o'reilly factor." then cruz is going to be on the "kelly file" and trump on "hannity." as you see, a busy night of politics. they talk about mainstream media talking about how donald trump has had the worst two weeks of his campaign. he has certainly hit potholes. at the same time, on the other side, hillary clinton has lost the last five contests. >> you're right. >> why doesn't anybody talking about that? >> in most polls, she's losing wisconsin. >> why isn't anybody talking about that? >> tomorrow's wisconsin, big night. if you haven't decided who to vote for, all three of the presidential candidates for the gop will be here on fox news. stay tuned for that. the other big story, heather is back. >> that's right.
welcome back. how was vacation? >> it was fantastic. i missed you guys. steve and i were on the plane together. >> that's right. i was seatsed a couple of rows behind her. at one point, the flight attendant came over and presented me with a bloody mary and said, it's from that blonde lady up front. >> did heather get you anything? >> i knew needed it. >> it was from that other lady. >> yeah. good morning. let's see if i remember how to do my job. good morning, everyone. hope are you off to a great day. amtrak trains back up and running this morning following a deadly crash that sent dozens to the hospital and shut down service on its busiest route. the train hit a backhoe on the tracks yesterday. this happened just south of philadelphia. and it killed two amtrak construction workers and derailed the front engine. the 911 calls now have just been released. >> medic 407, medic 457, accident involving a train i have a small fire on the tracks. might need the fire department knock it out. >> 300 hostagers and seven crew
board -- 300 passengers and seven crew on board. >> there was an explosion, then a fire. then the windows burst out. some people were cut up. >> all you could see was dirt and debris flying past the train. then there was a couple of sort of like fire flashes. >> investigators are now using the train's event data recorder to try to figure out whether or not the train or the backhoe were on the wrong track. some extreme weather now. and perhaps you felt part of this. a windy weekend leaving two people dead and hundreds of thousands of people without power from wisconsin all the way to maine. in massachusetts, two were killed when a tree snapped and slammed down on to a car. then in new jersey, 60 mile-per-hour winds scattering debris and downing power lines making for a messy monday morning commute. cold snap already bringing pockets of snow to the northern states. more is on the way. bundle up, and don't put the coats away yet. it was country music mania last night in las vegas. did you check this out for the acm awards?

every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company understands the life behind it. ♪ those who have served our nation have earned the very best service in return. ♪ usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. in 2012 as the syrian crisis unfolded, one cia operative was tasked with being the eyes and ears in the war-torn country. he describes the weight his position held at a decisive time when the u.s. stalled on taking action. he writes this -- "i was
sticking my neck out further than i should have. whatever action was taken in syria, i was prepared to do anything in my power to mitigate the risk to my country. escalation or deescalation in syria didn't matter as long as i knew the end goal, i was good to go." that's part of the excerpts included in the new book, "left of boom," detailing frustrations of being met with red tape as the crisisesque lated in syria -- crisis jeescalated in syria. welcome back. you wrote the book, heavily redacted. one area that we're in the midst of, syria still in afghanistan. >> sure. >> one of the few people that learned pasch not too were able to inter-- pashnot too were able to interact with them. you went in to analyze who the rebels were and what america could do. what did you find? >> i mean, you said it up front. obviously it was heavily
censored. i'm careful with what i do say. but you know, i found that the red tape was obviously a big problem in so much as i was saying, hey, here are some suggestions, here are things maybe we should be doing. and for most part, for a lot of it, it came back, well, let's just wait and see. let's keep getting more intel, getting more intel. i understand that that was my job. but i'm also -- i talk about it a lot, i'm a guy who likes to take it to 11. i wanted to take action in a lot of these courses. >> you dressed native, you dress local. when you looked at the rebels -- i know john mccain, leon panetta, hillary clinton, david petraeus, cia director said we've got to help these rebels. the president said no. was that a mistake? >> well, actually, i did disagree with them and went public saying that. i know the other three are saying that. a lot of what's been talked about is a memo that i had written. to address that, that memo that i wrote was not official cia
policy. that was actually something that i wrote personally. >> it instead. >> obviously it doesn't talk about -- it was suggestions that i was making personally on what we could do with the rebels and do inside syria. >> what you got is not a no but inaction? >> what i got was, i gave it to people hard copy, as in here's what i'm thinking. now we're finding senior intelligence officials have come out saying my memo was circulated amongst washington. that would be news to me. shortly after i wrote the memo, i ended up leaving the agency. so it's been talked about a lot. it was a personal memo and never official cia policy. i want to make that clear. >> one thing -- that's clear. the one thing we know, over 200,000 to 300,000 civilian are dead, people are dead in the area. the rise of isis is still the problem. is that a problem to america in the long run that isis exists? >> it depends how you want to
look at. i think domestic terrorism as you see it now is not something that can be easily stopped. it's a complex problem. i mean, we're doing a lot. what we are doing is good and respect to everybody involved with it. the thing about it is, though, counterterrorism is extremely hard because terrorism is so easy. it's very difficult to stop. >> is it easier if you have a place to nest and plot and plan like isis has today? >> no, not necessarily. and i'm not so sure that the two are always connected. you know, it's an ideology first. so i think anybody here in the united states, if they want to do something bad and they want to attribute it to isis, isis is all too ready to take it and say, yeah, absolutely, that guy was with us. >> you look at brussels in paris. it is directly linked to syria. >> right. correct. what i'm saying is this is a group for the first time that is all too ready, any type of carnage, to attribute it to themselves. >> he worked with the cia, got behind the enemy lines. he knows the taliban and maybe the syrian rebels better than
anybody.

today, there's a famous quote of his, we must learn to live together as brothers. and i add as sisters or perish as fools. and so with all the contention and contempt that is being stirred up in this particular presidential election, i believe we need to step back and look at the issues because too many people are arguing. and there's too much strife. i believe he would encourage us to think and look at the issues. >> well, let's talk about some of the issues. hillary clinton was speaking on friday, and she was saying that republicans are taking away the rights of everyone. take a listen to this, and then i want to get your reaction. >> okay. >> if you listen to the republicans, they are going after every right we've got. they're after civil rights, women's rights. they're after gay rights and workers rights. they're after the rights of people with disabilities. they're after all of them. i will defend a woman's right to make her own health care decision. [ applause ] >> i will defend planned
parenthood against all these attacks. [ applause ] >> dr. king, she went on to double down over the weekend on some interviews saying unborn kids do not have constitutional rights. what's your reaction? >> as director of civil rights for the unborn with priest for life, we really fight to protect women's rights and babies' rights. that baby in the womb should have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. if the baby is not allowed to be born, he or she -- and that's women's rights -- will never even have an opportunity to vote. you know, a woman has a right to choose what she does with her body. the baby's not her body. where is the lawyer, mrs. clinton, for the baby? how can the dream of martin luther king jr. survive? f we murder our babies and children and decimate the wombs and health of women through the procedure? >> dr. king, thank you very much for that perspective. we're thinking about your family

being able to step to the side of the prosecution, see what this man had to go through. he received death threats. he was called an uncle tom and sellout, chris darden. was so maligned especially from the african-american community, being a prosecute, prosecuting another african-american. >> he called it the darden dilemma. >> exactly. it was eye opening. >> i tell you what, as is depicted in the tv series, o.j. simpson was able to dream team. they played the race card. he's a snippet. >> you're bringing a reconception to this because you're black? >> marcia, i don't expect you to understand, but there's a certain way white people talk to black people. he doesn't have to take the stand -- >> yes, he does! >> see, in the series, you're
arguing that you got a problem, something in your heart tells you that mark fuhrman is going to explode. >> yeah. >> and he did, of course. you were right on that. chris darden was right on that. >> chris darden was right. he talks about in his book how from the beginning he had a bad feel being mark fuhrman. and that everything on the surface was not everything that there was to be seen. it played itself out that way in the trial. >> can you explain why this series is -- has pulled so many people? it's over 20 years later and we're fascinated. >> it brings up more than just the double homicide that transspired. there's a cross section where we deal with sexism, racism, sort of the camerasn the courtroom for the first time and being able to witness things on a 24-hour basis. it made it bigger than it was. >> the series is great. the cast unbelievable.
john travolta as shapiro. >> love him. >> sterling k. brown who plays chris darden, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> it's on fx, "american crime story: the people versus o.j. simpson." thank you. >> thanks. meanwhile, all eyes wisconsin ahead of tomorrow's critical primary. and donald trump is predicting a big surprise. what could that be? we are live in wisconsin at the top of the hour. then, a new bill would require elementary schools to provide at least 20 minutes of recess to our children. should it be a right or a privilege? >> recess? >> yeah. ♪ woman: it's been a journey to get where i am.
and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. duracell quantum lasts longer so kevin jorgeson can power through the night. sfx: duracell slamtones
i think teachers should be able to decide and their administrators should be able to decide whether or not they have recess in any particular day. with all the other problems we have to deal with my legislature is worried about recess for kids from kindergarten to fifth grade? >> that's new jersey governor chris christie railing against a state bill which would require schools to provide at least 20 minutes of recess to elementary school kids. christie vetoed the bill calling it stupid. but the state senate has reintroduced it this spring, saying recess should be a right and not a privilege. well, one new jersey mother who agrees is pauline heinz. her son a first grader only gets 15 minutes a day for recess and she says that's not enough.
right? >> it is not enough time. and it's actually not proper recess. middletown district takes from the physical education curriculum time and uses that in lieu of recess. this bill would give our kids 20 minutes recess and take back the time stolen from the physical ed curriculum. our kids would get two extra gym classes a week. go right now they don't have recess. they have what? >> teacher directed physical education. >> what does that mean? >> exactly. we all think our kids get recess. they don't. they do have some time to cut loose in this tdpe as it's called but it's not proper recess. >> sure. because you say your son winds up coming home with a half-eaten lunch because he takes halfway through lunch -- >> i want to play with my friends. i want to talk to my friends. >> why do you want at least 20 minutes of recess? what does it do to the kids, for the kids? >> 20 minutes is a baseline that protects the kids and gives them that time to truly recess to cut loose. it's not teacher directed. they can truly be with their friends. they can form our own social
relationships. it's important for development. >> i agree with you 100%. i used to love recess. >> right. >> talk to my kids yesterday about recess, and they all cherished it, as well, when they were in grade school. who is against this? >> it's hard to imagine that anyone is against it. there are absentee governor chris christie has called it stupid. he's called the bill stupid. so he doesn't think there's a need for this. there are -- >> well, the legislature is going to get another whack at it. >> it's going through the assembly education committee and will be looking for support for that, as well. i think the challenge with it is, high stakes testing is taking a lot of time out of the school-day. a variety of people from unions to parents don't want to add more time into the school day. i guess there's contract issues with that. and so they're robbing peter to pay paul and our kids are suffering. >> mm-hmm. and there is no law in new jersey that mandates it. you would like at least 20 minutes. >> at least 20 minutes. >> because from district to district it varies. and some districts don't even
have any recess, right? >> nothing at all. i'm not sure what they're doing with their phys ed curriculum, but exactly. there needs to be a baseline that protects the rights for kids. >> so you want the kids to have the opportunity of at least 20 minutes a day to run around the school yard. >> get the ya-yas out. we all need it. >> pauline thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be back. all right. let's see what happens. meanwhile straight ahead, donald trump gets personal ahead of tomorrow's wisconsin primary. listen to this. >> i want to win. and i'll be so presidential you won't believe it. i will be the most -- >> what does that mean to be presidential? >> his answer might surprise you. plus even if ted cruz wins the badger state tomorrow, are there enough delegates left for him to win the nomination for the republican party? we're going to look at the numbers straight ahead. live from new york. sir, this alien life form is growing

good monday morning to you and your family. it's april 4th. i'm ainsley earhardt. we start with a fox news alert. fire at the airport. hundreds of passengers forced to evacuate after smoke fills a terminal. the breaking details in just moments. meanwhile, all eyes now in the political world on wisconsin ahead of tomorrow's critical primary. and donald trump has this message for voters there. >> we lean towards ohio governor john kasich but according to one of your opponents that's like voting for you. >> no, i actually think he hurts me more than he hurts cruz. >> but he's not the only one who wants him out. we're live in wisconsin to do some explaining straight ahead. and she just had a baby a week ago. so how does ivanka trump look this good this soon, as in already? ivanka back in action.
and let me remind you that mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> right now live from 46th and 6th avenue, the brand-new chick-fil-a that has opened up across the street from our place. it's open for breakfast, and maria molina, maria you've got our breakfast in those bags. >> go out there and help her. she's in high heels. >> eating -- >> she's got a handheld microphone on top of it. should we get her a janet jackson ear piece? >> what's our bill this morning, maria? >> well, steve, i grabbed you a chicken sandwich, ainsley you said you liked the chicken sandwich with extra pickles, so we got that on tap for you. and brian, we got you just pick ams.
>> okay, great. >> thank you. >> on our way here with some coffee, we have even burritos for the crew. all kinds of food items and we're excited that they're across the street because it makes it a lot easier for us to get some early morning breakfast. here we go, making sure we can cross safely. and we can. so here we go. >> oh, yeah. >> don't trip on a pothole here. >> look at you, all right? >> there she goes across 47th street. >> and one more cross -- >> in the diamond district here in new york. >> before we get to you. we have a red light, though. >> can i get some diamonds? >> you are so cute, maria. >> sure, ainsley, i'll make a quick stop for you. >> look at this entourage. >> i love that new yorkers, no one's looking at you, everyone is like it's normal. >> it's just a weather person in high heels. >> do we have anybody -- >> oh, oh, my goodness. slippery out here. by the way we have rain and snow coming down so a little weather report for you, as well.
>> just like the mailman the chick-fil-a delivery person through neither rain nor sleet nor dark of night will keep her from appointed duties of bringing us the chicken breakfast. >> why do i suddenly feel like i'm in that movie, you know that movie the devil wears prada? >> yeah. >> i slightly feel like i'm in that right now. >> yes. >> all right, maria, thank you very much. >> thank you, maria. >> very successful. >> it is going to be an amazing week. it's masters week. we have final four tonight. we have wisconsin tomorrow. are you just pumped? >> are you trying to get people to go to espn? >> no. no we're going to report everything for you right here on fox. >> we've got it all. big game saturday, of course. biggest game monday. >> all right. meanwhile, let's get to the race for the white house. so far stomping on the american flag outside of a trump rally in wisconsin. >> the blatant show of disrespect as the candidates battle for votes ahead of tomorrow's big primary. >> that's right. fox news senior national correspondent john roberts is live in wisconsin with the latest.
he is based in atlanta. just like chick-fil-a. good morning, john. >> yeah, and you know what will be really good is if they have the peach shakes there in new york. >> yes. >> the same way they do in georgia. maybe it will be an apple shake instead. they are delicious no question about it. a little more about those protesters last night. they were outside the trump event. also outside greta van susteren's town hall. it's a group that goes by the moniker "f" only they use the full word, your flag. and make the point about lingering racism in america by stamping on the american flag which, as you can imagine, upsets a lot of people. a few people there who either had parents who died fighting for this country, or who had relatives serving overseas were very upset about what happened last night. things got pretty tense. police said to be called in a couple of times. eventu eventually everybody did disperse. on the campaign trail today, donald trump has got three events, one here in lacrosse r, superior and milwaukee where he will be appearing with his wife mel an yeah trying to make a
last-ditch attempt to turn things around here in the state because the polls have been going the wrong way for him. ted cruz is leading. looks like he might pull off a win here. he's got the board of governors, scott walker, ted cruz that is. donald trump, of course, has been mercilessly mocking the governor going all the way back to last summer and he is still at it. here's trump from greta's show last night. listen to this. >> in wisconsin you take a look, your manufacturing jobs in wisconsin are way, way down. you know, i used to think wonderful things about wisconsin. i was given a plaque by governor walker because i supported him. i gave him a lot of money. i supported him. >> he's not supporting you. >> no, no, he's not. you know why? because i knocked him out of the presidency in about two minutes. >> ted cruz is hoping to bring home all 42 delegates from the state tomorrow night. also hoping that he can get to the convention with the majority of the delegates before july even though he has to win some 82% of those in order to do it. john kasich playing for a contested convention. even though cruz and trump say
he's got no chance. i talked to both of them, first cruz, then kasich. listen. >> beating donald trump, we get north of 80% of the delegates. you don't need 80% of the vote. you just have to beat him in the remaining races. and if you look race after race after race we are beating donald trump, and it's because republicans, you know, we're seeing the republican party unite. >> i'm making a case for me. i'm making a case that i have the record, and the experience, both domestically and internationally, to be able to lead the country. plus, i consistently beat hillary clinton in virtually every poll that comes out. that's what i think is important. >> well what happened yesterday in north dakota actually gives credence to john kasich's argument. they picked a slate of delegates, in north dakota, ted cruz's campaign claims that the guy's 18 of the 25 delegates that were elected but at least a couple of those delegates told reporters they really wanted to support john kasich. so if it gets all the way to the
convention things could change. >> right now we're on the romney rule but they've got to change for the 2016 rules. we're not even sure how it's going to change until right before the convention. >> so, john, what about on the other side? hillary clinton has lost the last five events. is she nervous today? >> i think you could probably safely say she's nervous. because the polls after having hillary clinton in the lead for most of the time here in wisconsin, now show bernie sanders with a slim lead. the realclear politics average it's within the margin of error. if he were to pull off a win here in wisconsin, he's got two weeks to make the case in new york where the margin has narrowed now to 12-point advantage for hillary clinton. she's got that huge plurality of superdelega superdelegates. but if he wins here and then were to win in new york city i think a lot of those superdelegates would have to rethink where they are pledged. just on your point of the rules, the current rules, the romney rules, actually kasich can be voted for by unbound delegates.
he just wouldn't be able to make a nomination speech or have a floor rally. but people would be able to vote for him and he could, according to people i've talked to at the rnc, become the nominee if he gets 1237 vets. >> okay. >> and what about the fact he has to win eight states in order to be eligible? is that only on the first ballot? >> well that's to be considered in the first ballot because everybody is bound for the first ballot with the exception of a few who are unbound. really that rule only pertains to your ability to have a nominating speech, a seconding speech, and a floor rally. people could vote for you regardless. it doesn't matter. >> hmm. >> all right, john roberts, very thorough presentation. thank you very much. >> kasich does say if there is a floor fight he thinks he can win. consistently when you look at the polls he's the only one that can beat donald trump, or beat -- or excuse me beat hillary clinton. now donald trump had he was talking with greta last tight. we all watched that. we're going to show you a little clip about what he says. he's saying if you vote for kasich it's a -- it's a vote
against him. take a listen. >> leaning towards the ohio governor john kasich. >> but according to one of your opponents that's like voting for you. >> no, i actually think he hurts me more than he hurts cruz if you want to know the truth. frankly, kasich right now has got one win and 29 losses. and he shouldn't even be in it. >> jeb didn't win that much so he dropped out. rubio didn't win that much so he dropped out. kasich should just drop out. >> dr. ben carson said over the weekend republican leaders like hillary over trump. they like her more than him. and that the party elites are waiting to push somebody like paul using cruz essentially, this is another conversation, to stop trump. right we're going to get into the math a little later on. but right now you know it's impossible for kasich to do it. it's really hard for cruz to do it. it's going to be hard for trump as well. >> you talk about hard. what about easy? heather nauert makes it seem so
easy. >> i'm glad you said i make the news seem easy. good morning, everybody. hope you're off to a great day. let's start out with a fox news alert. terrified passengers forced to evacuate from newark's international airport early this morning, after not one, but two fires erupt inside the terminal. you can see the smoke there. as it pours out of that building. the first fire reported in terminal b's boiler room. hours later the fire rekindling prompting another evacuation. no one was hurt. the airport is still open, and just a handful of flights, we are told, are delayed. but might be wise to call before you head there. amtrak trains back up and running this morning, following a deadly crash that sent dozens to the hospital. and shut down service on its busiest routes. the train hit a back hoe on the tracks yesterday, just south of philadelphia, killing two amtrak construction workers. and derailing the front engine. the 911 calls now, just released. >> 457, accident involving a
train. >> i have a small fire on the tracks. might need the fire department. knocked out a lot of fuel. >> 341 passengers and seven crew members on board at the time of the crash. investigators now trying to figure out were the train orr the back hoe were on the wrong track. and breaking this morning, it is now considered the biggest financial leak in history. vladimir putin's inner circle now dubbed the dirty dozen, they've reportedly been hiding more than $2 billion in offshore tax havens. an anonymous source at a panamanian law firm releasing millions of documents to a newspaper, showing how that law firm allegedly helped world leaders launder money and then evade taxes for decades. it's being called the panama papers. putin's name isn't listed specifically, but the deals would have been nearly impossible without his involvement. also shocking news, british prime minister david cameron's rather is on the list we are
told. when asked if his family still had money in offshore companies a spokesperson said it was a quote, private matter. and didn't she just have a baby? take a look at this. it has been just a week and ivanka trump is already looking not just radiant, but like she never had a baby. she was caught in this video exclusive to dailymail.com over the weekend. she dressed up for her newborn son's bris. theodore james kushner is the 34-year-old's third child with her husband jared kushner. wow, she looks amazing. ainsley? >> you look amazing like that after having a baby. >> i looked bigger after i delivered than i did going into the hospital. all the water -- it's amazing. that is amazing. >> a lot of women can relate to what you said. >> thank you, heather. >> meanwhile, she has dashed across the street, and maria, come on in with breakfast! chick-fil-a. >> oh! >> we've got to get you -- >> what a happy day. >> thank you so much. >> all right.
>> thank you. >> did you get some for yourself? >> yes, i did. >> what did you get? >> i got a chicken sandwich. >> these are so good, these waffle fries. >> even some veggies. >> thank you. >> okay. >> all right. sit down a second, maria, so we can go through it. we've got to tell you what's coming up straight ahead. >> that's right. on this monday morning, jimmy carter admitted he thought about cheating, john edwards actually cheated. but where does hillary clinton's e-mail scandal rank among those political scandals? we're going to talk to a presidential historian coming up. >> this smells good. gomery and abigail higgins had...
...a tree that bore the most rare and magical fruit. which provided for their every financial need. and then, in one blinding blink of an eye, their tree had given its last. but with their raymond james financial advisor, they had prepared for even the unthinkable. and they danced. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. feel like this. look like this. feel like this. with dreamwalk insoles, turn shoes that can be a pain into comfortable ones. their soft cushioning support means

i think that anybody who's actually looked at this has concluded that i have now put out all of my e-mails. go and ask others for their e-mails. ask everybody else who's in public office. i'm the one who's done it. and i did it because i thought it was the right thing to do. >> wow, hillary clinton continuing to deny any wrongdoing as the fbi enters the final phase of its investigation on her e-mail server. so, what does this mean for her campaign? and her candidacy? how does the scandal stack up to other infamous moments for presidential contests? joining us right now to discuss it, a woman who knows. author and presidential
historian jane sampson cooke. welcome back. >> thanks for having me, brian. >> we wanted you to help us out with what's going on with hillary clinton in perspective with past investigations. we have a list of some scandals, and things that really took over the headlines in past presidential races. for example you got thomas eagleton. he's the running mate with the failed candidacy of george mcgovernor. what happened with him? >> well, it came out not long after he was tapped to be the vice presidential nominee that he had undergone electric shock therapy for a nervous breakdown. he'd been hospitalized three times. and you know, that raised the issue, especially back in 1972, about can we give this person the nuclear codes, have their finger on the button, so to speak? and that really frightened a lot of people. so he withdrew his nomination as vp and mcgovern had to choose someone else. so that's an issue. you know, is this person steady enough to be president? and so that was what happened with him. and it tanked his candidacy.
>> remember jimmy carter comes out of nowhere, gets the nomination. remember this statement that he put forward, talk about his lust. i've looked at a lot of women with lust. i've committed adultery in my heart many times. i don't see how that quote benefits. >> he did say it. what's interesting about jimmy carter is he told the american people, i will never lie to you. this was after watergate where nixon had lied. but he was also a southern baptist evangelical sunday school teacher. so to go to playboy and make this admission was a little odd. it didn't tank his presidency but it was a curve ball in that election and just a little unusual. >> even donald trump must be saying i never said anything like that. jennifer flowers, she comes out when bill clinton is trying to get the nomination. >> yes, i was bill clinton's lover for twelve years. and for the past two years, i have lied to the press about our relationship to protect him. >> well, that didn't help, but
eventually he did overcome that, correct? >> he did. and that's because he sat down with his wife, hillary clinton, and they sat down after the super bowl on "60 minutes," had a huge audience, and they admitted that there had been difficulties in their marriage without going into details and not fully admitting that particular story. that's how they overcame that. >> and they did. and of course john edwards last time, we know about that. he wasn't going to win. george w. bush did end up winning but this came out in the final week of the campaign about his dui. >> it did. and it -- >> years ago i made some mistakes. i occasionally drank too much and i did on that night. i was pulled over. and i admitted to the policeman that i had been drinking. i paid a fine. and i regret that it happened. but it did. >> and that was two days before the election. jane, we'll see where hillary clinton stacks up compared to those. thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. coming up straight ahead, the high school that promises to keep your kids off drugs.
how they did it. the founder of that school joins us next. then, hillary has a message for the fbi director. call me comey. let's celebrate these moments... this woman... this cancer patient... christine... living her life... loving her family. moments made possible in part by the breakthrough science of advanced genomic testing.
after christine exhausted the standard treatment options for her disease, doctors working with the center for advanced individual medicine at cancer treatment centers of america suggested advanced genomic testing. the test results revealed a finding that led to the use of a targeted therapy that was not considered for christine before. now, they're helping fight her cancer on another, deeper level... the genetic level. this is precision cancer treatment, an approach to care that may help patients like christine enjoy the things that matter most in their lives while undergoing treatment. the evolution of cancer care is here. that's definitely something worth celebrating. learn more about precision cancer treatment at cancercenter.com. appointments are available now. at our retirement plan today. not now! i'm cleaning the oven! yeah, i'm cleaning the gutters! washing the dog! washing the cat! well i'm learning snapchamp! chat. chat!

entertainment section, not the news. they eventually reversed that. and hillary rodham clinton apparently waiting by the phone after reports and rumors that she'll be called by the fbi over the use of her private e-mail server. >> has the fbi reached out to you yet for an interview? >> no. no, they haven't. back in august, we made clear that i'm happy to answer any questions that anybody might have. and i skand by that. >> happy to answer? clinton admitted sending classified e-mails from her personal server wasn't the best idea, calling it a matter of convenience. more times than we can count. meanwhile -- >> the numbers are stagling, steve. nearly 5% of high school seniors have used drugs. >> oh, my goodness. >> and about 867,000 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 have some sort of an addiction or drug problem. that's where the newport academy comes in. the new york city school is
focused on keeping students sober. >> jamison monroe jr. is the founder of this academy and he joins us now. thanks for being with us, jamison. >> my pleasure. >> why did you start the school? >> for many reasons. some personal in that i was a kid who was sent away when i had issues in school. and when i came back to my home and my community, i quickly relapsed. because i had to go back into a school environment that wasn't supportive of my recovery, as well. and the stats show that 85% of kids get their drugs at school. >> sure. >> okay. so this is essentially a sober high school. >> essentially, yes. >> how do you make sure that the kids are sober? >> well, one is on the interview process. on the admissions process we make sure that kids, you know, they've had some form of treatment and they're properly motivated for treatment, or to enter the school and become part of the recovery environment that we have. but then also monitoring throughout. so, throughout the week we're
doing therapy sessions, we're doing group therapy sessions and individual. as well as drug testing on a random basis. >> if they don't pass the drug test? >> if they don't pass the drug test we take it on a case by case basis. so we're going to assess the level of willingness of a student to get back on track. if a kid is totally unwilling, and they don't want to have anything to do with recovery, then we're going to probably recommend, you know, a treatment facility as opposed to recovery high school environment. but if a kid's totally willing to get back on track, then we're going to welcome them back and realize it was a slip, and create, you know, some structure around that child so that they can succeed. >> that's great. so you have got some schools and you've also got some treatment facilities, as well. there are a lot of parents looking in right now and saying oh, man i wish i could get one of my kids into that kind of program. but this is expensive. >> it is. so,t academy as an organization we have residential in-patient treatment facilities in connecticut and in

back. >> take it away. >> all right. good morning to all of you, and let's switch now to politics for your headlines right now. remember this moment when hillary clinton got in the face of a sanders supporter last week. well she was just asked about it. listen to what she said. >> you know, i'm not going to go into that. i think that we've tried to run a campaign on the issues, i'm going to keep talking about the issues. >> clinton says she's upset bernie sanders is lying about her environmental record. well the rnc chair reince priebus trying to quash rumors on fox news sunday that a contested convention is a real possibility. >> i think it's possible, and at that point, if you get in to a multiballot convention where you've got five or six or seven rounds, it's possible that a person can be nominated that's not one of the three, but my position is, and i think it's absolutely correct, our nominee is likely to be one of the three people running.
>> but if it is not run of the three running house speaker paul ryan says he does not want anyone looking at him as a potential nominee should there be a brokered convention. he says he's not running. he just gave this latest information-to-a newspaper while traveling in israel. he says he thought the election was under control since there were 17 people originally in the race. a veteran kicked out of a dog park in floor for not taking his service dog off a leash. he says he was there training rebel, his dog, but was then told to leave the park. listen. >> i'm outraged that that's the way not only they want to treat a veteran but that's the way they want to treat anybody else who, you know, who has service dogs. >> the park owner has since changed her mind and said smith and rebel are now welcome any time, even if they're on a leash. and speaking of dogs, take a look at this. a runaway chihuahua leading police officers on a wild chase
across san francisco. you can see the furry four footed fugitive running on the bay bridge tailed by an officer on a motorcycle. get it, tailed? the chase shut down part of the bridge between oakland and san francisco for a short time. police eventually catching up with the dog and handed it over to an animal shelter. they're calling it porch. remember him? the character on the classic tv cop show chips. one my boys love. it's still on tv. it's fantastic. >> absolutely. >> no other traffic on the bay bridge? >> i guess not, they shut it down. >> let's hand it out to maria. >> she's had a busy day. thank you very much for breakfast. >> glad you enjoyed. good morning, we're tracking messy weather today across parts of the northeast with another clipper that's bringing more snow out there anywhere from new york state to southern parts of new england and we can see as much as three to six inches of snow accumulating out here. because of that we have winter weather advisories that have been issued from buffalo to the city of boston, and the concern
out there is that this morning you will be dealing with tough conditions on the roadways as you try to make your way to work. current temperatures, chilly across parts of the northeast. you could see currently 37 degrees in new york city as you head farther north, though, much colder with temperatures right now only in the single digits across parts of new england. but across the plains, later this afternoon, it's going to be very warm. take a look at some of these forecast temperatures, 85 degrees in dallas. and even warmer than that to the southwest across southwestern texas, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees. back inside. >> well it's warm somewhere. all right, maria, thank you. >> thanks, maria. a mother is charged with child neglect after making her kids walk to school because they missed the bus. is that tough love or is it going too far? your e-mails are pouring in on this one. >> i've got to send you one on that. meanwhile melania trump will hit the campaign for her husband donald today. but will that help him win the female vote? and brian is still trying to find somebody, this time a woman, to hug him in times square. i take these out...

>> thank you so much eau claire. >> eight. that's how many times that young woman yawned during hillary clinton's rally in wisconsin. get her a coup of coffee. all right ainsley, over to you. >> thank you, steve. well the battle for the badger state is on. and donald trump is taking big steps to shore up the female votes. over the weekend he did admit that retweeting the unflattering image of heidi cruz was a mistake, and then today melania trump, his wife, is going to hit the campaign trail for her husband. but will this be enough? joining us now to weigh in is pollster and partner leigh carter. will that be enough? melania, she's going to be working wisconsin today trying to get the female votes. is it enough? >> i'm not sure if it's enough. but i think it's really person that the women in donald trump's life do join him on the campaign trail. i think melania, his daughter, i think his son's wives, all of the people, even his ex-wives who can speak nicely about him, say a lot about him. they show a softer side of him. i think ivanka especially said
he did something right. when you see a working woman who's a family woman, who's able to balance all that she does, you look at her blog, all theth represents, he actually must be an advocate for women because you don't have a daughter like that without having done something right. without being supportive of her roles, women and family values. >> people are fascinated with the women in his life. they absolutely are. there was an op-ed in the post. i want to read a little bit by the female journalist who says many of these women are the so-called security moms, they're women who vote not on traditional women's issues, education, abortion, et cetera, but on foreign policy. >> okay. so i think it's a little preposterous to say that women just vote on women's issues. it's almost like saying a woman is going to take a job only on the benefits package. when i talk to women voters out there, their primary concern is what is best for my family. what is best for me? what is best for america? primarily, they're concerned with the economy. they're concerned with security. they want to know who is going to do that best? and then, of course, they do
want to know what -- who is going to do best by women's issues? and traditionally when you look at the republican field, the one that they're most concerned about was ted cruz, not donald trump. he had a really bad couple of weeks and made them question, is he going to be the one for me? but ted cruz has also been somebody that they've questioned that, too. but donald trump does have a really good record on the economy. he does have that record -- i shouldn't say that, but makes people feel that he's very secure on both the economy, and on security, as well. >> let's look at some of the favorability ratings. fox news did a poll, asking women out there, are you -- do you like donald trump? 30% favorability among women. 67% unfavorable. >> i think that's a really, really big issue for him. he has a very, very big unfavorable issue with women, with hispanics, and also with very, very conservative voters. now, that as he goes into the general is going to be a big, big issue for him. the thing, i think, is as he's making a pivot from here in to
the general, he has an opportunity to move more to the middle, he has an opportunity to show the softer side of himself, with the women in his life, and as he starts to pick a vp pick and show the kinds of people that he's going to surround himself with in the cabinet, as he goes towards that. and i think that's going to be important to see who those people are and as he rounds out what kinds of policies he's going to have. >> would it behoove him to pick a woman for his vp? and if so, who? >> well i think that any republican candidate should consider a woman as the vp. because i think the republican party has traditionally been one where they say it's not a women's party and i think that's a big misnomer. there's several women who are very, very qualified. you've got the governor of south carolina nikki haley. the governor in new mexico, governor martinez. she's a very, very qualified. they're both second-term governors. in new mexico we have the first latina governor, both of them are women. and both of them have experience governing. they'd be really, really good counterbalances to donald trump, who is experienced as a businessman.
they're experienced governors. they're experienced in getting things done. in negotiating. in getting balance. so i think whoever he chooses, whether it's a man or a woman, should be somebody who balances out his experience, one, a businessman, the other one i think should have experience governing, saying that they can negotiate across the aisle, getting things done. so somebody who is more the yin to his yang. somebody who seems reasonable where he seems impulsive. somebody who can balance out all the rough edges that donald trump does have. and i think that's going to go a long way to saying you know what? this man, even though i might be concerned about his, you know, impulsiveness, this is somebody that might be able to reel him in. >> right. right. thank you so much, lee. >> great to see you. any time. >> thank you. >> a mother is charged with child neglect after making her children walk to school behind her car because they continuously miss the bus. is it just tough love? or is it going too far? peter johnson jr. is here to weigh in on that next. but first, on this day in history back in 1987, starship was topping the chart with their hit, nothing's going to stop us

listen to this story. a tennessee mom, fed up when her daughters missed the bus, decided to get creative with their punishment. she made the kids walk more than a mile and a half to school, as she drove about 50 yards ahead of them. alongside the road. and now that mom is facing charges of neglect by a deputy sheriff. so did the authorities get it right? or did they go too far? here to weigh in fox news legal
analyst peter johnson jr. >> good morning. you've been writing in on this. this is a strange one. let's see if we can get to the bottom of this. lisa palmer, two children, we don't know their ages, marion county, tennessee, cited for neglect, as a result of having the children walk behind -- >> right. >> the vehicle, her gold cadillac. the sheriff saw the gold cadillac parked along the fog line, that's the white line along the road, and said you know, what's going on here? and apparently, according to reports, the mom said well, you know, they missed the bus, and we got to teach the kids a lesson. then the father and the grandfather showed up, because allegedly ms. palmer didn't have a driver's license. >> yep. >> and then the father apparently was arrested for something unrelated according to reports. so is this the nanny state? or is this child abuse that the sheriff is seeing along the road? >> well, peter, was she neglecting the kids?
for my money it seems like she was trying to teach them responsibility. she should have had a driver's license, no doubt about it. >> there's a couple mitigating -- a driver's license is important. walking on the fog line on the road is a little bit sketchy, in -- >> but the idea. in her heart it sounds like -- >> personal responsibility. so what did you folks write in to say about this? well, first, i walked about two miles to school every day, and then home for lunch, and back to school, and home again after school. i guess it didn't hurt me because now i'm 91. and i still walk. >> carla baker wrote, so they missed the bus. we all did that at one time. perhaps a more fitting punishment for her would have been for the cops to make her walk back home. >> and then matt, so the mother had them in sight, made them walk to school is discipline for missing the bus. deputy decides she's a bad parent? anyone else see the overreach
here? >> peter, i have an observation, and that is this. those kids learned their lesson. they're never going to miss the bus again. >> right. double dutch buses. no, i'm late. going to walk to work. make those kids walk to school. we reached out to the marion county sheriff's office. no comment. we'll let you know what happens on this one. >> yeah. let us know what you think, was the mom over the line or doing just fine? peter johnson. >> we'll see what happens. >> thank you very much. >> all right, meanwhile straight ahead donald trump says expect a big vice in wisconsin tomorrow. what does bret baier expect in the primary? we're going to talk to him in just about two minutes. and let's play ball! we're celebrating opening day with some little leaguers. we're testing their arms, and you know what? somebody is going to wind up in the dunk tank and it could be ainsley. getting older shouldn't mean

so the last tournament before the masters, whoever won yesterday's tournament, that guy gets to go play in the masters. hopefully he'll get the green jacket. wouldn't that be wonderful? >> it would be. >> weren't you playing golf with your kids over the weekend, too? >> i did. we had the little golf lesson. it was good. it's -- >> oh. >> the classic clubs and the crib worked >> so sweet. i like the shoes. >> all right. >> did you see some ability there, bret? >> they're starting. they're starting. they have the bug. >> all right. let's talk a little bit about wisconsin. the polls are basically show a ten-point advantage for ted cruz. up until yesterday, i think it's the cbs news poll had him in a six-point lead. so much smaller of a distance. do you read anything into that? >> listen, it is going to be tight down to the wire here. it seems like ted cruz had a little bit of a lead. we just don't know the margin of error there. it's almost tied. donald trump says he would surprise in wisconsin. the bottom line is wisconsin is becoming ground zero for this
race. and it could reset the gop race. or it could be more of an indication that trump is on his way to the 1237 needed. >> trump, you know, this is a big state for him. and he's took on the governor last night with greta. >> in wisconsin you take a look. ur manufacturing jobs in wisconsin are way, way down. you know, i used to think wonderful things about wisconsin. i was given a plaque by governor walker because i supported him. i gave him a lot of money. i supported him. >> he's not supporting you. >> no he's not. you know why? because i knocked him out of the presidency in about two minutes. >> is this smart to go after the sitting governor who's popular with republicans? >> well, listen, it was smart in that crowd. and it got a lot of applause. but fox business had a poll at the end of last week that said if scott walker was in the race in wisconsin, how would it stack up? and he was well ahead of donald trump and ted cruz and john kasich. and is still really well recorded in wisconsin.
so, it's -- you know, that is donald trump speaking. the straight talk and how he deals with things. but in wisconsin, it will be interesting to see how this plays. >> sure, you look at south carolina, nikki haley endorsed somebody else, and donald trump still did okay in that state. meanwhile, some people have said, you know, donald trump just isn't presidential enough at this point. and sometimes he gets a little personal. the conversation turned to that last night in greta's town hall. listen to what he said about that. >> i want to win. and i'll be so presidential you won't believe it. i will be the most -- >> what does that mean to be presidential? >> well it means maybe not be so aggressive. maybe not get so personal. but people get personal with me, i mean, they say oh, they don't like my hair. okay? now, if i ever said i didn't like their hair it would be a head line. they're allowed to say whatever they want about me. >> just don't pick on a person's hair. come on. >> listen, he's had 140 characters has been his achilles heel, i think, on twitter. and a lot of people look at some
of the ways that he responds, and uses twitter, the heidi cruz picture. the multiple tweets about megyn kelly. all of the stuff that has happened on twitter, and that has raised the questions, which is why he's answering these questions again and again and again about being presidential. and you know, i will be so presidential you won't believe it is an interesting answer. but, he -- you know, is he showing it along the way? i think each one of these states is making that decision. wisconsin is a real battleground now. >> hmm. let's talk about the democratic side. bernie sanders has won the last five states going into wisconsin. is hillary clinton, is she in trouble here? >> yes. i think wisconsin polls are indicating that bernie sanders is doing well. if the state lines up for bernie sanders, it's likely that either iowa or wisconsin, and he didn't pull off iowa. but wisconsin it looks like he could. if he wins there, you know, this
is why hillary clinton is spending a lot of time in new york. she's defending new york and there are polls where he's closing there. >> all right. let's talk about what happened or more massive leaks. this out of a panama law firm has leaked documents that show some of the most powerful people in the world, literally in the world, have millions of dollars stashed away in offshore tax havens. one of them is a guy that you interviewed accused the president of ukraine, poroshenko. i don't know if you knew that when you talked to him. >> no. >> but do you think there could be hell to pay because of that? >> yes. i mean listen, this affects a lot of world leaders. specifically president putin in russia, at 12 of his -- the people around him. that's some $2 billion in offshore accounts. but you're right. the ukrainian president poroshenko is on that list, as well. we talked extensively about corruption. what started the revolution there. and we did not have the info
about the panama papers at that point. we taped it friday. but we did talk about vladimir putin and his aggression in that region. and what he said about that is pretty interesting. >> let's listen. >> knowing what you know, what do you think vladimir putin's aims are? what are his goals? >> nobody knows that. except vladimir putin. he's extremely unpredictable. the information is that you want to keep the soviet power in power. from our understanding, this is an aggression. this is an annexation. >> your message, though, about vladimir putin is, watch out. he's unpredictable. >> if you ask me if i trust putin, no i don't trust him. >> okay. that's not a shocker that he would not trust putin, given what putin has done to him. >> and how does he view our role and what we haven't done? >> he, you know, it's interesting, brian, he walked a
fine line. he had just received some funding from the u.s., some $300 million for various things, and he was very grateful, specifically thanking congress. he said that the administration essentially dragged its feet at the beginning. helping ukraine. he went on to say in that statement about putin if he were in estonia or latvia or other countries he would be scared. >> great interview. i couldn't wait to watch. congratulations on getting him. awesome, bret, proud of you. make sure you watch his show and then also tune in throughout the night on fox because look at this lineup. all three of the presidential candidates for the gop will be on fox tonight. you have john kasich on greta, followed by an all-new o'reilly factor -- >> he's in cuba. >> then senator ted cruz is going to sit down with megyn kelly and donald trump will be on hannity. if you haven't figured out how you're going to vote for you and you live in wisconsin, watch
tonight. >> it's time for news with heather. >> news coming in from overseas. it's an important story. the u.s. navy busting an iranian ship that was loaded with an arsenal of deadly weapons. 1500 ak-47s. dozens of machine guns. and also rocket-propelled grenades all found hidden on board. take a look at that picture we now have. it is the third time in the last month that western forces have intercepted weapons shipments in the arabian sea. officials say the weapons were likely headed to insurgents at yemen. despite that bust, the crew on that ship, well they were let go. another fox news alert from back here at home. terrified passengers forced to evacuate from newark international airport early this morning after not one, but two fires erupt inside the terminal. you can see the smoke as it pours out of the building there. the first fire we are told started in a boiler room. hours later that fire rekindled prompting another evacuation.

to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have 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 or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. life as a non-smoker is a whole lot of fun. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
as the wisconsin state and voters there get ready to head to the polls tomorrow, we go inside the mind of wisconsin voters to find out what issues matter to them the most and why and here with us right now, his take on the badger state battle is former wisconsin state governor mccallum who is supporting john kasich. thanks for joining us today from madison. >> good morning. measure to be with you. >> what are the big issues for the folks who are going to go in and vote tomorrow there in wisconsin? >> there's two -- the issue, security is more widespread than just isis and terrorism. it's security, employment, jobs, how we're going to get the kids through college. why they're going to be living at home when they're done. and then there's the underlying issue of trump versus anti-trump. that's the republican primary, of course. >> absolutely. you have decided you're going to throw your support behind john
kasich. is it when you look at mathematically, he will not wind up with enough delegates to win it going into the convention. the only way he could possibly wind up as president would be, you know, in a contested situation. isn't a vote for kasich a vote for a contested convention? >> well thank you for putting it that way. because some are saying that he could not win the nomination. and pretty clearly he can win the nomination. in fact, i find it interesting, probably the most popular or the least disliked of the five remaining candidates is governor john kasich. shows you he'd win head-to-head, his favorable versus unfavorable is ahead of anyone. so he seems to be the choice of the american public. it's how you get them there. in wisconsin, it probably would be to his advantage, i mean obviously like to pick up some delegates. it's winner -- the winner of the state picks up 18 of the delegates then it goes three delegates for each of the congressional district wins. hopefully john kasich can pick
up one or two of the congressional districts. >> it's not that you're anti-trump, you're anti-hillary clinton, aren't you? >> well, i am, and i'm actually more than that, i'm pro-john kasich. whoever else is in the field, if we're going to hire somebody you go through an interview process, if you look who's qualified and who can do the best job for the future of america, i've kind of put it, we've gone through, you know, it's almost like dating, and you go through with some of these people and they're find of fun and they send a message but do you really want them representing you? do you really want them as the president of your country? it's now time and wisconsin voters are starting to look at, let's be serious about this. at least john kasich is clearly the superior candidate. >> i have a feeling i know who you're going to vote for tomorrow. scott mccallum, former governor of the great state of wisconsin. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up on this monday the video is terrifying. a car plunges over a cliff, look at this. falls 300 feet.

ben? >> well, it's just another one of those things that i think is unfortunate when he opens his mouth. i personally still held donald trump as my number one choice to vote for. i know that's a bad thing to say, all the sisters and women in my life are not real fond of that. that being said he tends to exaggerate when he's in front of a microphone. the only reason i would vote for donald trump is because he's going to destroy the status quo of the politicians in washington. i would be voting for him for his economic ability or his foreign policy, either. >> all right. so our i-fan. and him saying he can eliminate the national debt. >> there's not a chance anyone could eliminate the national debt any time soon. i would like to see progress there. we haven't seen progress in quite some time. >> ben disagrees. >> bill clinton eliminated the debt. everybody said he couldn't do it. a democrat. and again i go back to the idea that donald trump was once a democrat, now functioning i'm more of a libertarian. i believe that with the proper way, it can happen and it's been
done. >> quickly who's best for the stock market? >> right now donald trump. donald trump. >> you know it's hug an anchor day? maybe you guys could be nice to him. >> i may test -- >> there you go. >> back to you guys. >> nicole you're hugging them more than they're hugging you. >> i'm hugging you more than you're hugging me. >> i don't know. >> and they're still not doing it. >> it's just weird. >> it is just weird. >> they were told not to touch you. >> really? >> that's what they said. >> you were there. they would -- a little bit all over me. all hands. >> what do you have from the news this morning? >> poor guys they're all getting a call from human resources or something. give the gal a hug. >> we're on speed dial. >> all right, good morning to all of you. i've got some new information coming out this morning, the troubled nation of greece is now starting to deport thousands of migrants back to the countries

those areas. it's going to be sticking around throughout the day today. be careful on the roadways. currently your temperatures quite chilly out there across the northeast. and bitterly cold across northern parts of new england, where temperatures right now in some areas are in the single digits, but across the plains, especially across places like oklahoma, and texas, it is going to be a warm, toasty day for you. temperatures approaching 90 degrees across southwestern texas, should be at 86 this afternoon in dallas. and farther north a little bit cooler, like in kansas city at 67 degrees. by the way, behind me here we have little leaguers, they're world champions and they are warming up, getting ready to dunk you guys in the dunk tank over here. i've been watching them and i'd be a little afraid if i was sitting in that chair. >> that's right. ainsley's going to be in the tank shortly. >> i chose a day when it's snowing in new jersey. >> perfect. >> i wanted it to be really cold out there. i can take it. >> maria, thank you very much. >> i'm trying to find out how much andre the giant weighs. seriously trying to find it. >> meanwhile, students at one

>> and what are you encourage those who say to you -- who are critical of you. you say go beyond the sound bites? >> yeah. i want them to really listen to everything he has to say. in context. and really understand what he's trying to say. and i think if people listen to his full speech they'll have a completely different view of him. >> does it blow you away for the most part that you are a republican, and you have a certain view, and a certain candidate, and that you're getting derision because of it? is it discouraging? >> i'm going to hold strong. but it is discouraging. i know other people are afraid to say anything, and afraid to come out just because they're afraid of losing friends, getting a bad grade because they might get on the bad side of the professioner. they need the letter of recommendation. they're not going to say who they're for because they need to get ahead. a lot of them want jobs and internships, they can't be dealing with political getting into political trouble. >> what's your family's reaction? >> they've been -- they're apolitical so they don't really support either candidate.
or any candidate. they're just worried for me. they don't want me to get too out there and get in trouble and lose job opportunities. >> donald trump watches this show. what is your message to him? >> keep doing what you're doing. i know you'll be our next president. >> wow. and would you wear the hat around campus? >> i would, yeah. >> so it doesn't bother you, it just doesn't stop you but it does bother you that you're experiencing this. >> exactly, yeah. i wish campuses were more open to other opposing views, and try to understand the opposing side. because when you understand the opposing side then you really get to understand where they're coming from -- >> because, he does not hit hillary clinton he just doesn't support hillary clinton. maybe people could have the same view. dillon perrer ra, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> coming up straight ahead. the little leaguers are warmed up and the wait is finally over. we're testing their arms. can they actually dunk ainsley in the dunk tank? but first let's check in with martha maccallum who will not go
