your home. that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes "on the record" right now. we have a special report online with a guest israeli ambassador to the u.s. joins us in seconds. >> this is a fox news alert, just moments ago the house voting giving speaker john boehner the green light to sue president obama. republicans accusing president obama of abusing his executive power with a quliewn lateral decision to delay the obamacare employer mandate. fox news chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel live on capitol hill. mike, what's the latest? >> greta, good evening. the vote was 225 to 201 along party lines so it had all republican support to authorize this lawsuit a lot of times before big votes you have passionate speeches on the house floor from lawmakers trying to drive something across the finish library. in this case you had house speaker john boehner
speaking very calmly talking about the oath that members of congress take to, you know, when they are sworn into office. and asking them to stand as one institution to basically fight executive overreach, to stand up and defend the constitution and so it was enough to get republican support. he did not win over the democrats, but they were not needed in this case. bottom line, republicans all day say that they were defending the constitution; that they feel like the president has gone too far in the spread of executive power. and so they say it may be a republican president in a couple of years and democrats may have wished they joined the lawsuit because perhaps the shoe will be on the foot in a couple of years. at this point the lawsuit goes forward. republicans made it happen and he we will see where it goes in the courts, greta. >> mike, any members of congress sticking their heads in the sand and not voting at all or any republicans or democrats crossing over? >> we had five republicans
vote against and there is some suggestion that perhaps they wanted to go further. they don't want to just do a lawsuit but perhaps take a deeper step. we will see. we have to reach out to those lawmakers to see if that was the case. perhaps others were not equipsed that a lawsuit was necessary. several others sat out the vote. it's not clear why. perhaps they were sick. perhaps they just didn't want to engage. but bottom line he did get 225 republican votes. he needed 218. so there were definitely enough votes to make it happen. >> mike, thank you. >> sure. >> and republicans insisting the lawsuit is an attempt to protect the division of powers. house rules committee chairman pete sessions joins us. good evening, mr. chairman. >> mr. chairman. >> how are you, greta? >> i'm very well. now that they have the vote, 225 to 201, the resolution is passed, when is the lawsuit going to be filed, do you know? >> well, the lawsuit now has authorizing speaker of the
house to take under his own advisement and it work with lawyers on not only the ideas and where it will be filed but the timing of that i believe the speaker will move rather judiciously. we already understand the of the united states is not faithfully executing the laws of united states. and, in particular, related to the resolution that is the affordable care act. i believe the speaker can move expeditiously on this matter. >> i have got some thing about hefty legal bills. i still have an idea of how much this stuff should cost and rather simple matter there are no witnesses or deposition. there is no jury, there is no nothing. do you have a feeling on how much is being spent because i assume that the taxpayers will be paying this. >> in fact, they will, greta. what happens is there will be no new money that will be authorized and was not asked for. it will come directly out of the money that the speaker currently has. and, it will -- we presume, be less than $2 million.
there is. >> 2 million? i could find something to do it for you for if $30,000 or less. it's not that complicated. 2 million is a lot. 50,000 would be a lot. >> i said it would be no more than that but here's the point. it is only for 60 days. this is only until the end of september. the speaker will have wide latitude to be able to move this measure now that he has the vote, and i believe the money, it will be inconsequential compared to the action that is needed. we need to find out does the president of the united states have the ability to waive the healthcare laws as he has done. that's important for americans and understand despite the fact good stewards of the american taxpayer dollars i hope when he digs into this gets a good deal on this because that, obviously is an
important issue as well. all right, now, so, when you said the president -- the speaker is going to act judiciously, does that mean he is going to do it during the recess or will this probably be filed some time in september? any sort of guess on that? >> well, my guess is that he would be prepared to do it as early as tomorrow. >> all right. and so is there actually a complaint filed, do you know, i mean, prepared? >> he was never even authorized to do that until this evening. so now that that has been done, i would assume the speak would move forward with this. >> all right. if he can file it by tomorrow, there is even more of a reason to say. it doesn't take a lot of hours to put this together. we will be watching, mr. chairman, an important issue. we will see what the court say when it comes to the issue of standing. thank you, sir. >> you bet, greta. >> kucinich, "u.s.a. today" kirsten powers and national review's jim garety? >> the tool is right. not sure it's the right tool in the toolbox.
feels like a gamble. people ask whether the house has the standing for lawsuit. if they win look like geniuses they managed to point out that the stopped obamacare and president isn't obeying the constitution. >> doesn't like to take up cases where it's an argument between two branches of government. they have to show they were injured by obama's actions. pretty hard thing to do. >> kirsten? >> i think there are serious people jonathan turley who they think that obama is exceeding his powers then you have to ask who can challenge him, right? and perhaps it is only the house. the response to that democrats are saying no, this is a political stunt. well, it can be both it can be a political stunt which i think it is. the timing is not coincidental. it happens to be election year. it also could be that they substantively feel that president obama has overstepped his bounds and think that he needs to be held accountable. >> i think it's a serious
issue i don't know whether the courts grant standing or not. courts have changed their minds and relooked at things and different views of things. decisions can change all the time. when he said $2 million, i almost fell over. when i say this is a $20,000 case. i'm not exaggerating. this isn't complicated. >> couldn't we even get a crappy lawyer to file? >> i'm scandalized that this would cost this much. this takes some good research in a library, on the issue of standing and one pleading filed for 150 bucks. >> lawyers that work on the cheap, greta. speaking of money, one thing we know is both parties are raising lot of money off of this. i know we all had fundraising requests piling into our inbox with various creative subjects on both sides. >> president obama is impeachment thing is making a fortune. >> much stronger argument right now, feels almost like they are preparing the battle space are to the fight over potential executive order de facto, amnesty. keep hearing rumblings
coming out of the white house coming at the end of summer. that be with the legal' super bowl. wait a second, now he is completely deciding is he ignore large chunks of the law and rewrite it to his whims. the public opinion on the republican side than this one. trying to do this to set up the narrative. look, obama ignores the constitution. we have been making this argument for a long time. now he has gone too far. maybe it will work out. >> i think it's an important issue. >> the executive power issue? >> where the line is. >> it's a very important issue and also a very important issue when george bush was president. >> agreed. >> a lot of violations of executive power and republicans were not particularly concerned about that. >> but that's the way politics always are. >> always different in foreign policy but always different when it's the things that they care about. i think to be consistent you have to care about both, right? >> agreed. >> and so we're consistent, greta. >> i agree. i mean, republicans and democrats should want to know what the extent of a president's power is. >> exactly. the question is what kind of power, you know, the president thinks he has
power on immigration. they would argue that they have the power under the 1996 immigration law that gives the president very broad powers. but, maybe the court has to come in and weigh in on this. >> who knows if they will. anyway, panel, if you will stay with us. and developing now. dangerous threat and immigrant detention facility at our border. highly contagious disease. k fox reporter bill milligan live at the border with the very latest, bill? >> hey, greta, yeah, we are talking about a confirmed case of the chicken post office box that's putting a halt to all deportations and all arrivals at a brand new detention facility in new mexico about a four hour drive away from el paso. this pace literally opened up a month ago. a few weeks back we got a chance to look at video, the facility. it holds up to about 700 immigrants. it's a mix of adults and children. now, ice confirmed to me earlier this morning that at least one person in that shelter has a case of the chicken post office box. now, they -- chicken pox.
i did talk to the public health director here for the city of el paso. is he not buying it he thinks there is a very high chance of it spreading throughout the rest of the shelter. he gave me a few reasons why. number one, he says you can actually spread chicken pox two days before you even start showing any type of symptoms. what that means is when these ice agents give medical screenings to these immigrants as they come into the shelters they may not have any clue whatsoever that they could be infected with the chicken pox, number two, he said in a closed environment like a shelter, chicken pox is one of the most contagious viruses out there. he said that airborne, it can be through skin skin contact. he pointed out something interesting. most of us get chickenpox when we are kids. it's fairly mild. if you get it as an adult it can be very -- especially for a second time. that's when it can turn into shingles and real nasty rash
on your torso, very painful and severe. that's one of the reasons why ice is halting all deportations, all arrivals at this facility. greta? >> bill, in terms of any other health issues besides chicken pox with these children? >> at that facility in particular, all we are hearing is chicken pox. we know at different facilities across the southwest there have been reports of scabies, lice. that facility hearing one case of chicken pox. >> all right, good. let's just keep it at one and hope there is no more and everything is under control. thank you, bill. time is running out for the house and senate to vote on competing immigration bills. but right now republican lawmakers placing the plame blame for the crisis scarily on president obama. >> this is a humanitarian crisis. it's the direct consequence of president obama's law
lawlessness. >> the president is preparing to assume for himself the absolute power to set immigration law in america. >> if in fact he gives work permits to a million or 6 million people you will see an additional surge of people coming. >> they're coming because they believe they're getting amnesty. >> he is the president of the united states. he could solve this problem today. >> we're not going to solve this crisis until we stop president obama's amnesty. >> getting to america by any method you can and you will never have to leave. >> and senator ted cruz joins us. nice to he sigh, senator. >> good to see you, greta. >> obviously you blame president obama. i will get to that in a second. first, does republican party bear any of the responsibility to blame for the situation we have right now at the border. >> well, sure. look, both parties bear some of the responsibility because we failed to secure the border. we should have secured the border. we should have done our basic job a long time ago. that being said, what's happening at the border right now is a direct and proximate cause of it is president obama's amnesty. this was all triggered in
2012 when president obama unilaterally granted amnesty. >> when you say amnesty, that's sort of the code word that the republicans use. you are talking about the executive order which does, what? >> right. well, if you look at the data, if you look at the evidence, and you and i are both lawyers we are a big believer of looking at the facts and seeing where they lay. the facts here in 2011, there were roughly 6,000 unatestimony companied children apprehended trying to cross into this country. then in june of 2012, the president signed an order that granted amnesty to some 800,000 people who entered illegally as kid. even though you broke our laws and not entitled to be here. we are going to allow you to stay and give you a permit to work. it was deliberately it was directly targeted to people who entered as kids. new, the predictable consequences, the predicted consequence of that is that it created an enormous incentive for more kids to come in. if you are granting amnesty to come as kids, other kids
will come. and it's gone now from 6 now, children in 2011, to it's expected to be 90,000 this year and 145,000 next year. they are coming because they believe they will get amnesty, president obama's amnesty and if we want to solve the problem, the only way to do it is to eliminate the promise of that. >> all right. so we have the situation we have. how do you sort of reverse engineer? let's say the president is watching this and senator ted cruise got a great idea. now we still have all those kids at the border. we still have that problem. what do we do? >> well, your first question about how do you eliminate the promise to amnesty the most simple and director way i have introduced legislation in the senate. it's very short just two pages. it says the president does not have the authority to grant amnesty to any new immigrants who come into this country. you know, one of the things that's really disturbing just a few months ago if the
president can't do this, that lois ghost a long long way to eliminating the promise of amnesty which is why these kids are coming. >> let me go to the related topic authority of the president. he clerked in the united states supreme court for the chief justice renquist and just passing tonight the house has passed the resolution giving the green light to sue the president. the big question is whether they have the quote, standing. whether they have the ability, the power to go to court and sue. put on your legal hat. >> well, it's a difficult question. look, what has prompted the house to do this and this is unprecedented. the house as an institution has never sued the president before. what's prompted it is we have never had a president like president obama. >> that's not the question. i realize the problem. i realize the republicans'
objection. is this a way to figure out the parameters of a presidential power. does the court have the authority to make that decision? >> i think there is a serious and credible argument that the house has standing. a court might agree, it might not. it's a credible argument. the reason they were farced to file and one of the things that i have done as the ranking member on the constitution subcommittee, senate judiciary committee is release a series of five reports detailing the lawlessness of this president. when the president refuses to enforce the law, the challenge is there have been very few people who have standing to challenge it. the house as answer substitution is trying to act to fix that it's making a plea to the courts to uphold the law and uphold the president's constitutional authority and responsibility to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. >> too bad. trying to figure out the breath of any president's power. we ought to be able to figure out it's got to be
defined some place somehow. if it's not in the court this kay any other con vehicle to figure out the limits of this president or another one. >> sure. for any president the way you figure out the iments of the text of the law, what this president asserts is unprecedented. 28 times with obamacare. he has just unilateral live said i'm changing the law. >> there is no executive discretion. i mean, there is some executive discretion. >> there is executive discretion but there is not discretion to change the text of the law. so, for example, the text of obamacare says the employer mandate kicks in january 1st, 2014. there is no ambiguity. january 1st, 2014 is spelled out. he said no it doesn't. i'm granting exemption for members of congress. just lack week a huge decision on obamacare that concluded for 36 states across this country, that president obama's administration illegally extended obamacare to those
36 states, illegally extended the individual mandate and the employer mandate. >> the problem is a couple hours later a fourth circuit said just the opposite. so, in other words, never dull. we will find out what the courts say. >> indeed. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you, greta. >> developing now hamas rockets shattering even short-term cease fires in israel striking a school. ambassador john bolton is here next. also some lois lerner emails found in what is a sizzler. learner calling republicans. i don't think i should say that word on tv. maybe i will. think about it. it's coming up. that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines,

across all of the gaza strip today while we were out doing the live shot getting ready for a live hit with shepard smith earlier in the day. we saw some of that fighting. we were taking pretty heavy small arms, artillery coming in. forcing to get down on the ground. part of the reason why we are inside right now doing this live shot because it's just simply too dangerous to be outside. now, this is the type of fighting that we are seeing really all the way up and down the whole gaza strip right now. we are still seeing hamas rockets more than 140 of them have been fired from gaza into israel, just today alone. part of the more than 2700 we have seen fired in the
last four weeks. but, israeli artillery and israeli air strikes are really the big story today in two different locations. israeli artillery hitting civilian targets. at least 30 people were killed between the two of of those. 130 killed today alone. israel has been condemned by certain parts of the world. but the u.s. sticking with it to an extent. the white house condemning the incident but not blaming israel directly saying that they want to full investigation. but the white house is very angry about what is happening here. particularly the israeli tactic. we are also seeing growing humanitarian crisis here. there is a shortage of water there is a shortage of bread. we have seen long lines. the u.n. now saying that there is more than 200,000 people here in gaza now seeking assistance from the united nations. and, greta, the u.n. saying that they are simply overwhelmed with sort of breath of the entire humanitarian crisis here right now. >> conor, thank you. >> and the israeli media
constantly slamming secretary of state john kerry. one israeli newspaper columnist calling secretary kerry an amateur. another saying he should be fired. so with all that backlash, can secretary kerry possibly get anything done in the mid east now. former u.n. ambassador john bolton joins us. ambassador, nice to see you. it's not under ordinary circumstances an easy job. now secretary kerry goes in with israel being furious at him. >> i'm not here to defend john kerry's job or his record as secretary of state. people should not operate under the allusion that somehow he is acting independently. i think is he really faithful carrying out exactly what the president wants. and that is despite all the rhetoric about israel's right to self-defense, if we impose a cease-fire on israel. if the pressure of the united states and western europe forces israel to agree to a cease-fire, we will be stopping israel from taking steps against hamas' missile capability that
materially aids iran in its nuclear weapons program. this battle that israel is engaged in now obviously for their own self-defense. but it's also in america's interest. >> i don't see prime minister netanyahu in any way sort of bowing to the wishes of president obama. i mean, he seems quite determined in all his statements. i don't think -- i can't imagine that he is feeling -- i can't imagine pressure from the united states having any impact on him. he will make up his own mind. >> is he very determined he has nearly 90% of the population of israel, according to opinion polls supporting this operation. i don't think the the owe obama white house quite understands that i also don't think you should under estimate the ability of the president of the united states when is he determined to do it to make israel bend the need. >> how do you do that? >> all kind of steps he can take cutting off intelligence access. holding up military resupply. allowing the europeans to it too there delegittization efforts against israel. we have seen john kerry do it already. talking about why a third is
not unimaginable. why the boycott vest temperature and sanctions is. i think that pressure veal. i think netanyahu feels it. >> where would we go from here? i mean, it keeps getting worse. humanitarian crisis. water and bread. 140 today were killed. 3,000 -- i don't know how many rockets in the last couple weeks. tell me about what conversation you and i are going to be having five nights from now. >> well, my guess is netanyahu will try and continue. i think it's important to cut through the cynicism of hamasousing these civilians to shield its military capabilities. and that's what the strategy is here. hamas cannot possibly win in a military confrontation with israel. but they can create the impression that israelis are systematically targeting civilians. i think the u.n. and u.n. works administration. the deals with palestinian refugees is complicit in that. i think we have got to it
expose that cynicism for people to understand these tragic civilian casualties among the palestinians of gaza are caused by hamas. >> that's where the public opinion is that shifts against israel and goes all the way over to the white house. the white house then exerts the pressure you are talking about. >> i think in the united states, support for israel is growing. i think the opposite is true in europe. i think that's where the obama administration can allow the europeans to do its dirty work for them, frankly. >> ambassador, nice to he sue sir. >> thank you. >> and republican senator kelly ayotte is disturbed by what president obama just said. what did he say? senator ayotte is here to tell you next. 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.

one rescue at a time. new threat to investigators trying to reach the flight 17 crash site in ukraine. ukrainian officials say pro-russian rebels have planted land mines near the wreckage. meanwhile some u.s. republican lawmakers taking president obama to task not providing with weapons to fight the pro-russian. president obama saying ukraine does not need our weapons help. but senator kelly ayotte strongly disagrees. she joins us president obama says that ukraine doesn't need our weapons. do you agree? >> absolutely not, greta. it's absurd. first of all, they have been asking for lethal assistance from us since i was there in march and they were asking for it then. it's been months and months. and here is the absurdity. since the russian-backed separatists actually took down flight 17 and murdered
over 290 innocent people, the russians and putin have put more armaments in. they have put more antiaircrafts into eastern ukraine. they put more tanks, more heavy arms. so actually since the plane went down and we won't provide the ukrainian military, who is fighting hearted for their own sovereignty, some basic lethal assistance, i mean, it's really mind boggling. >> what do you think president obama's thinking is on this? >> i really don't understand his thinking because what's happening is that the ukrainian military, they are putting it on the line. they are actually making some progress down there. >> maybe it that's it. maybe he thinks they can do it without help? >> i actually think it's not true that they can't do it -- that's why the russians are putting more and more heavy arms in for the russian backed separatists because the ukrainian people are fighting to defend their own territory. in some ways you have to wonder what is this administration doing to ♪ support the ukrainian military? they are not asking for our
troops. they are asking give us some help to they gave up their nuclear weapons under the budapest memorandum and we signed that agreement for basically to respect their sovereignty and for security assurances and now here they are in a fight where russia is backing these thugs and providing them all these arms and we're not even willing to give them some basic lethal assistance. >> what do you mean by basic lethal assistance? >> i mean, think about it, the aircraft that have gone down, antiaircraft, what's happening, that antiaircraft sophisticated system, so technology that can help them combat that. intelligence, it's my understanding we're not providing realtime intelligence to them as to where this antiaircraft is so that they can prevent other planes, their own planes from going down. and also anti-tanks. russian tanks have come over the border but, basic arms,
they have asked for some basic things. you know, in terms of just basic small arms to help buttress their military to defend themselves. >> what do we do this b. things like germany. germany is not going to help because germany loves the natural gas and the oil from russia. you have got the u.k. that loves their economic dealings with russia. i mean, nobody seems to want to help. >> he will with, first of all, i'm glad that they actually stepped up to put some more sanctions in place that europe did. but obviously they need to go further. but it's a matter of american leadership, too. he they are going to follow our lead and the president on this issue of not he providing some more assistance to the ukrainian military. i just don't understand it it's almost like he wants them to fight with one hand behind their back while the russians are just pouring in arms to these thugs and we are giving the ukrainian military uniforms and goggles. think about the comparison there. >> putin, too light on putin? >> you know, this president
has been too light on putin from the beginning, starting with the reset policy and obviously the new economic sanctions put in place, i'm glad that those were done, but now to ignore requests that the ukrainian government have had for a long time for some basic assistance seems, to me i think it's because they don't want to incite putin. he doesn't care what we think. he is he giving these thugs more arms. >> senator ayotte nice to he so you. new hampshire busy wanting to run for about the. >> we love having them in new hampshire. nice to see you, greta. >> living the unthinkable and seeing the unthinkable. boko haram terrorists slaughtering family. same terrorists. now the brave young girl is here in the united states telling her story to you. she goes "on the record" tonight. former irs official not only has legal troubles.

a young girl's heart is broken as mother and father are murdered in nigerian home. debra peter only 12 surviving that 2011 attack. this is her first interview since telling congress of the boko haram. terror group kidnapped and holds hundreds of nigerian school girls. >> they shot my dad in his chest three times. >> folk co-haram is a dangerous, evil radical extremist islamic group, more than 200 girls and young women kidnapped by islamic extremists. last several years. >> shoot my brother that's when my dad died.
i was in shock. >> and joining us debra peter and her lawyer immanuel oglebay. nice to see both of you. thank you both for joining us. debra, it's particular itly nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you too. >> you have moved to the united states last september, right? >> yeah. >> having had a horrendous experience. what happened to your family? >> on december 22nd, 2011, my dad was killed by boko haram the night before -- so, that night me and my brother, we were at home. and then we started hearing the gun shooting. so my brother called my dad and tell him not to come back home because my dad is at work. so he told my brother that he is going to come back home because he has been home like a lot of times when there is problems happening but nothing happened. so my dad just go ahead and
come back home. so three people went, my dad came and then he told them that he -- he told under the circumstances that he wants to take a shower. so like after running water for him and stuff, he went to the bathroom. so like 30 minutes later, three people knock on our door and then asked my brother where's your dad? then my brother said my dad is in the bathroom taking a shower. so they wented for a few minutes. he didn't come out. they go ahead and went to the bathroom and pulled my dad out of the bathroom and then tell him to deny his faith. my dad said he is not going to deny his faith because anyone who denies god in presence of people is he is going to deny them in father in heaven. my dad didn't deny his faith. they said they would give him a second chance. he refuse the offer. then they shot my dad three times in his chest.
so my dad was like i think he is about to die, then my brother now say what did my dad do to you? why did you kill him? so the three men, the boko haram, they told my brother to be quiet. then when my brother was trying to be quiet but he just couldn't hold it. so the first leader told the two -- the other two that they should kill my brother. but the guy that is like right behind the leader, he told him they should not kill him because is he a little kid and then the third guy told them that no, they should kill him because if he grows up he is going to become pastor like my dad. that's how they shoot my brother and killed him, too. so the next the soldiers came my brother and dad to the hospital. >> you your brother was how old. >> 14. >> and how old were you then. >> 12.
>> boko haram for not renouncing christianity. is this getting worse in nigeria? one of the worst stories i have ever heard. >> absolutely getting worse. they don't kill women. they kill all the males in the house. we seen what happened three months ago. now they come back and they abduct the girls and take them away as slave brides. if debra had been back in nigeria when this happened in that village where she is from, she could have been taken and she just found out that one of her cousins is amongst the 200 missing girls right now. this is an evil that continues to evolve. >> boko haram is so evil. you can can see more of our interview with debra and immanuel. go to gretawire.com. it's all there. lois lerner's emails keep gettings worse. she has a potty mouth. now the former irs official calling the republicans names. the new lerner emails next. many of my patients still clean their dentures with toothpaste.

why she doesn't say conservatives are talking about conservative radio in this conversation, they are looking for intent. we will see if the justice department decides that that is enough. >> you know, i think, kirsten, looking at these and piecing them together it looks like she wrote them while on vacation. she wrote them on vacation to england and it looks like on a taxpayer blackberry. every time i go roaming overseas i know how expensive it gets. this is a taxpayer blackberry. >> yeah, exactly. unless they have some great deal that we don't know about. they are probably getting charged the same amount of money for that she refers and i have never defended lois lerner ever. she refers to the -- he they are referring to the wacko wing of the republican party. and they are talking about talk show, you know, radio callers. >> would that be tea party people that she targeted? >> i know a lot of republicans, i would not name them, though they are well known people and i have heard them refer to these people in the exact same manner.
many of them are elected members of congress, in fact. i'm not sure that this necessarily shows anything against republicans per se or necessarily even the tea party. i think it's more about there are some rabid people out theren the left and the right. >> the problem she may have though, besides the fact that she is doing this on vacation, is that it does show that she is not -- if she wants to say that she is or the of independent, fair, doesn't have any problems with people. it's a tough sell. >> lois lerner cannot complain about being held in contempt when she clearly full of contempt. as irs commissioner she makes a prime time nbc host. slow lerner. >> member of congress fed up with the tea party. you know this is how they there are plenty. >> her job is to adjudicate. >> emails as well, which not exactly something that, you know -- >> -- yeah. not who has used the a word. should somebody who has authority over who gets investigated by the irs look at one said of the country
sand say they are all that way. >> we don't know that she only looks at one side of the country that way. >> there are republicans who think this. >> >> but they are not running the irs right now. >> neither is she now. >> have this opinion and not necessarily be going after people. >> how about this one? this one, kirsten, here you go, kirsten. >> defamed very badly, i don't think this is the smoking gun. >> here, defend this one. so we don't need to worry about alien terrorists. it's our own crazies that will take us down. >> being sar cass -- sarcastic. i have heard plenty of republicans talk about the far right this way. i know you have too. i know you are playing dumb right now. >> i'm every bit as dumb as i seem at this moment. i don't use taxpayer email to do those things. i'm not paid by the taxpayers. i don't have authority over people to do that. >> i think that this in itself, exactly right. she also took a swipe at left wing people as well.
making fun of europeans complaining about the united states. >> she can't audit your. >> if i am representing her, i would think if okay now i'm trying to make her look like fair. she doesn't have an ax to grind. executing her job. someone comes in and like dumping a truck load of manure in my lap because now i have got these emails where our taxpayer dollars looming charges u.k. on vacation and calling one particular side of the political spectrum that she has the authority to investigate all these horrible things. that's a tough sell. >> if you in fact think that's a tea party. >> if that's the wacko wing of the republican party then you are right. then this would be a smoking gun. tough decision to be in jury to the congress when she meant wacko she didn't mean tea party. the people that she is targeting. it's just a tell tough sell. >> we are not in disagreement this is bad for her and looks really bad.
i think that -- i don't think-i think there are plenty of people who say this kind of stuff who would not then go in and investigate people. >> i think it's fair to say when lois lerner is back in the news it's not good for lois lerner at this point. >> i just like the term potty mouth though. >> so much other evidence, frankly that you don't necessarily need this to nail lois lerner. there is enough evidence that she was, you know, not behaving in a fair manner. >> i agree that this is not -- these emails are not evidence of a crime. they are evidence of bias, which is very unhelpful to her. anyway. i'm taking the last word. pam. thank you. coming up, what has women all over the world, including the two women sitting here with me outraged and probably laughing? they are laughing at the same time. i'm going to tell you off-the-record, of course next.
when folks think about what they get from alaska,
they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp 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. deadly ebola virus spreading in east after from can a. isolated for exposure to the virus and the peace corps now evacuating other
volunteers from liberia. guinea. aid workers for ebola. sources telling fox news adam housley that high level talks are underway to bring the two americans back to the united states. few facilities in the u.s. equipped to treat ebola patients. let's all go off-the-record for answer in. what are these women laughing about? [ laughter ] >> >> that's a great question. [ laughter ] >> >> what is so funny? i don't know for sure. but chances are they could just be laughing at the deputy prime minister of turkey. they may have heard what he thinks. he says a woman should not laugh outloudly in public and quote preserve her decency at all times. men who laugh in public are decent and women who laugh in public are, well, not decent. that's what the deputy prime minister of turkey thinks. that is funny. [ laughter ]
welcome back. let's get a check on the day ahead. president obama will follow up on the immigration announcement with a visit to nevada.announce. and the capitol christmas tree arrives in washington, d.c., the tree hails from minnesota this year, and it will be lit on december 2nd, that is it, "morning joe" starts right now. >> if you register, pass a criminal background check and you are willing to pay your fair share of of taxes you will be able to apply to stay in the country without the fear of deportation, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law, all we are saying is, we are not going to deport you, the critics of this action call it amnesty, it's not.
it's the immigration system we have today. >> good morning, it's friday, november 21st, and welcome to "morning joe," can you believe it's friday? it sort of has been a long week. that was president last night. amazing speech. we have political analyst and visiting professor at nyu, former democratic congressman, hear old ford, jr. did you do wiell? >> he gave a good speech. >> controversial? >> no doubt. >> and morning. good to have you on board for just this reason. and the host ofof -- before we t to immigration and the big conversation about that, we want to start this morn onning in up-state new york where massive snow storm is going wrap up finally after pounding the buffalo region for the last few days. it has been breaking news over
the past 36 hours. it has been blamed for ten deaths after dropping up to 7 feet in some area of snow. roof collapses are a major concern, with warmer temperatures this weekend expected and flooding will be an issue as well. lester holt has more on this . >> reporter: more than 100 patients had to be evacuated when the roof showed signs of weakening. >> there's potential for collapse. >> reporter: two dozen people driven from the roads by white-out conditions and deep snow has been holed up in the wall mrt store since tuesday. >> could not ask for a better place to be stranded. >> reporter: from the air, we could see the area painted in white, rooftops looked like they are slathered in whip cream. we can count dozens of cars that were stopped in their tracks,
buri buried in snow, the roof is barely visible. even as road crews make progress, there's neighborhoods still can cut-off, surrounded by chest deep snow. we went down one street on foot where we could only shout a conversation. have you ever seen it like this? >> i have never seen it like this, i have lived here my whole life. >> reporter: the officials are doing their best to reach those with emergencies and are reminding hope-bound residents to take precautions. >> you are looking theity buffalo bills stadium. it's covered in snow, the schedule game on sunday has been moved to monday night in ford field in detroit. they were trying to get people to shovel it out, it's impossible at this point. let's bring in bill with the latest, bill? >> the snow totals are off the chart. the highest total we have in is over 7 feet of snow in this three-day event. it's really two storms that were
separated by one day. all through theier, hamburg was 80 inches, orchard park where the stadium was cloelocated, it was -- a front end loader dug this woman out, and this is just from her driveway, you can see her son went out to climb the mountain of snow in her front yard. this is what they will deal with all winter long, it will be there all season. we will melt considerably, we will up to 61 on monday, it will be humid out there too, so that melts the snow faster. a half inch of rain, we are worried about flooding. worse damage was done by the snow and the wet of the snow. we will watch it as with we go through the weekend and good news is over the weekend, warm air builds across the country. we are two weeks of january type weather and it's over with after today. >> all right, bill, we will be in touch with you, we have the big news now this morning out of
w with a, in the words of president obama, we were strangers once too. last night that speech to the nation the president made the emotional case for wide ranger immigration reform. but with a nod to the political blow-back that lies ahead. he heads to las vegas today to curoccucurry favor for the acti. it is intended to protect human trafficking victim. it will remove barriers for foreign workers to come here and work and stay longer, especially in the high tech industry. and the center piece will prevent the deportation of 5 million americans. he has argued that every president since eisenhower has taken action on immigration, it is clear that he is aware of the politics aa head. >> don't let the disagreement on
a single issue be a deal breaker on every issue. it's not how the democracy works. >> okay, javier, let's look at how the "new york times," first line, president obama chose -- >> you know, i think first and foremost, our association, the 3.2 million hispanic in the country that collectively contribute billions of dollars in the economy stand in support of the president's action. it's not the action that anybody hoped for. >> i understand that, you and i are on the same page, could he have waited? could he have given them a deadline? what would have changed this this deadline? >> he could have, but the reality of it is, there's a bipartisan bill that has sat in congress now for over a year. and we prefer some action versus
no action at all. >> ray suarez, when do you think? >> there was risk involved by the president, but it may have been a bigger risk to way longer. the president has been calling for congress to act on this for a long time, for years in fact. congress could not even fas dream act, which for a long time was considered the low hanging fruit of immigration reform. if you could not take the most sympathetic immigrants, people that were brought here as babes in arms in many cases and make them safe from deportation, what could you accomplish? the house had a long time to do something on it and did nothing. the president was advised by many to act earlier and he didn't. the clock was running and he was under pressure too. >> and the republicans are sounding the alarm. >> they are insensed about this. the top leaders are using the president's own words against him now. >> the president said before, he
is not kin. and he is not an emperor, but he is sure acting like one, and he is doingi ining it at a time wh american people want us to work together. >> he was talking about immigration, and i know that some wish i could by-pass congress and change the law myself. but that is not how democracy works. indeed, mr. president, it isn't. >> previous comments were looked at on executive author aity, an they said it's false that his position has changed. it will embolden more desperate people to make the often deadly crossing from the united states -- to the united states from mexico it is said. and there's division on how best to respond to the president. some are pushing for budget strikes and others are dangling the idea of a shutdown and some
are not fully ruling out impe h impeachment. >> we can defund areas of president obama's lawlessness, so we should do so, use the power of the purse. >> are you worried about the political blow-back on the republicans if they do that? >> not if it's targeted and limited. what are we talking? it's not government shutdown or anything drastic. >> third would be kuth out the appropriations bill. i don't want to could the last thing. nobody wants to do the "i" word, the president has thrown us in to the situation. >> you hear caution. lindsey graham is cautious
saying if you make it about us, then it's not about the president and immigration. they can pass their own law that the president can vito. >> and the president said do it. pass the bill. >> first of all, i think the substance of what the president said, spot on. these are steps that should have been taken, his timing is wrong, however. i think it would probable have been better to give the republican new congress three months to act to it, and lay it out, and if they didn't, the president could still act on executive action. you have to wonder, there will be ramifications for this. the republicans warned before this happened and the president is taking a big risk on other parts of other important parts of the agenda being enacted. now this issue is important. and it may end up being the only issue that gets done over the next several months. hopefully the republicans are not equally silly and shutdown government or try to impeach the
president. the democrats in the congress could have negative blow-back from this. >> do you feel the timing was provocative? putting the republicans in a place where they always do, trying to knock down what he has always done, instead of doing something productive. which he could have given them time to do. >> no doubt, it's provocative. >> the reality is that there's an amazing hispanic electorate that is growing by leaps and bounds. many turn 18 and become an eligible voter. every 30 seconds, a hispanic turns 18 and becomes a voter. the republicans have a chance here to illustrate leadership to this electorate, and finish what
has begun long before president obama came along. >> ray, do you think the republicans will see it as an opportunity? >> no, but in some ways the president painted them in the corner. it's true when the president said that what he has done is limited. it is only in effect for the life of his administration. it can be rescinded by the next president or over ridden by legislation. but do the republicans want to aggressively move to break up families and start sending people home by using their legislative tools that they have been reluctant to use so far. do they want to do that? the president cannot make them legal, and he didn't do that last night. all he did was move them to the back of the line for waiting to be deported. he the cannot regularize their status, he didn't do it. do the republicans want to move in and say, sorry, buddy, you
want to get on the next plane. >> i know it's a question with a long answer. give me a quick one and distil it down, what is your in my opinion? what do you think had hispanics and latinos in general are looking for, what is a sound immigration policily? >> you know, i think something comprehensive and permanent is what everyone is looking for. we are an organization that is focusing on economic development and the commercial and economic interest of the nation. anything that helps entrepreneurs and small business in the country is what we are looking for. this is not what anybody hoped for, there's an opportunity here to illustrate demonstrate lly d needed leadership. >> we will talk more about what is brewing on this after the president's comments last night t white house is pushing forward for the pick of the top treasury post. the administration has no plans
to pull back on the nomination of antonio weise. it's said that he helped companies avoid taxes by moving money overseaoverseas. it's time for president to loosen the hold that wall street banks have over this issue warren's growing power is described as a test. and liberals are showing strong support for the massachusetts democrat. she tops hilary clinton in a poll. she has popularity on the left. and the far, far left for sure. bill cosby is scheduled to take the stage tonight for a performance as the lift of women
accusing him of sexual assault grows. a 57-year-old florida nurse said cosby drugged and raped her in las vegas when she was 19. but she continued to see him and later asked for and received thousands of dollars from him. >> he changed the course of my life. instead of empowering me like he said he does to people. he made me a victim and a all my life i have been a victim because of this. and that doesn't go away for all of the days of my life. >> the wife of the incredible hulk actor, lou ferrigno is speaking out, she claims that cosby try to force himself on her in his home and she was able to get away. and new york daily news has an interview with another woman that said the comedian lured her in to a hotel room in 1992, and
assaulted her. and an actress who appeared in one flew over the cucoo's nest said she was assaulted. the attorney for bill cosby said we have reached the point of absurdity, the stories are getting more and more ridiculous. the producers of "the cosby show" are break their silence saying the accusations are beyond our knowledge or comp hengz. cosby is scheduled to give a stand up performance tonight, he did not address the allegations last night in his performance. in the past, cosby has denied allegations made by other women, and has never really been criminal charged. >> he is going to have to come out is and say something at some point. it's getting away from him.
if these allegations are true, it's obviously horrible. but that ap interview he did a couple of nights ago, he on camera ask today correspondent to edit out the question and his response to this. >> he did not respond. >> he did not respond, he told h them to take out the question. none of it is proven, but so far, they are allegations, he needs to talk about it. >> josh ernest, congressman aaron shock and actress brooke shields with her new memoire, and a thanksgiving day the communicate. you are watching "morning joe."

>> all right, it's time to hook at the morning papers business insider. this is interesting, a walmart in oklahoma is holding a food collection for its own employees. according to the store manager, idea of the food drive came from an employee who wanted to help co-workers experiencing hardship. critics say the drive is proof walmart does not pay it's employees enough, the the company maintains that the it's simply employees taking care of each other, the average hourly wage is $11.73. >> they did it last year to too. >> yeah. >> the executive editor of the "new york times" may launch a new journalist website with the huffington post, it will feature lengthy articles on a monthly basis. >> the "wall street journal"

all right, it's time for the must-read opinion pages, we have a bunch of different ones. this is the washington post on bill cosby, hard to keep the faith. and he writes in part this, a few weeks ago, i spent a delightful afternoon and evening with bill cosby. i was the emcee of a gala for historically black claflin university which is this my hometown of orangeburg south carolina, i was having a jolly old time with a serirapist? i'm having trouble squaring the allegations with the man i was with that day. many people may be experiencing the same. cosby has spent his long ground
breaking career in the entertainment industry being such a good guy. how could he possibly be such a bad guy too? i would like to believe the man i met is incapable of such montsrous acts, but his stoney silence is making it hard to keep the faith. to your point, i think he needs to say something. and that puts it in perspective why people are having a hard time talking about this. he has done amazing transformative things for society. his life and his work means so much to so many families and to black and white americans in terms of understanding each other and bridging the gap, fair? >> no doubt, he broke barriers. look, he has to answer this at some point, these allegations continue, it's not one or 10. >> and you don't know if it's a pile on. >> the argument i say it so carefully --
. >> gene said it well. >> there's nothing proved. nothing proved. no convictions, just allegations. but there are a lot of them at this point. peggy noonan. >> let's move, the nihlst, the bomb white house assumes it will happen to them, thus they can do pretty much what they want. what they forget is that facts largely decide what the history thinks. history will be written by liberals, fair enough and they will judge harshly because he has failed to do anything to last. keystone will pass and a veto overridden and the president has failed liberals through unpopularity which is another word for incompetence, ray, obviously not a fan of the
president, what do you think of the piece? >> i think there's a lot of chapters to be written this the obama presidency. she makes the point that liberals are disappointed and i think they are. i talk to them and they say, how come he will not go big. the people on the other side are people that will not agree with anything. how come he comes in prebaked and willing to compromised no matter what he says, the people that consider themselves his political opponents are never going to give him an inch. they cannot understand why the president precompromises, comes in at his final number and then sees that start to tear down. >> all right, we are going to bring in chief white house correspondent for political michael ennow, with the morning playbook. one of the lead stories this morning, j governor chris christie is finding little 2016 support from his fellow governors. >> govern eor christy was a gra
sl slam, was a big part of his comeback story. he raised $100 million traveling the country can. but at the big annual meeting, jake sherman asked some of the governors that he helped elected, if governor christie runs for president, will you elect him? those governors said he is a great guy, but we are not going to commit to him yet, he can run if he wants to. he got a lot out of this. he said that he does not begrudge the governors for holding back. he said, they cannot commit if i won't commit, it would be presumptuous of me to say will you back me if i sflun. >> what is the grassroots
opinion of chris christie, what is the feeling about him among republicans across the country? >> well, as you know, represent cans feel he would be a very strong match up with hilary clinton. the way that one top republican said it to me, he is the only guy that hilary clinton cannot be sure she could beat. along with jeb bush. how does he get to that match up? so the question is, could he navigate iowa? people think he probably could play fine in new hampshire, it's how do you get to that match up? it would be the same issue with governor jeb bush, probably strong against hilary clinton. hard to see how he gets through a republican primary where they are not going to like his stand on immigration and common core, what the represent condition voters call obama core. >> and democrats bet big on
demographics why many think the president's action on executive action in immigration will pay off in a big way. what are they saying? >> it pulls back the curtain on what happened last night and makes the point that it's a bet on the emerging voting groups. socially progressive younger voters and latino hispanic voters. democrats, the president's party may face a backlash among white voters in the south, and in to the rust belt for the immigration action, but in a state like virginia and florida, both so important in a presidential race of course you have populations there where it will be popular. >> michael en, itke -- mike all. it's friday. >> it friday! >> this is -- i'm going read this, i'm going deeper, okay, she said this, and harold, i
want to know what could be done avoid this. in recent years president obama has repeatedly turned to nominees with close ties to wall streelt for high level positions. the president's choice for treasure t treasury's highest position, and the president tabbed stanley fisher, a bank of america executive, was put in charge of international trade in the commerce department. the two recent picks for commodities futures trading commission, are lawyers that spent their careers representing big financial institutions. she guess on to say, it's time for the obama administration to loosen the hold that wall street banks have over economic policy making. sure, big banks are important, but running this economy for american femaamilies is a lot m important. >> her premise is right, but if
the wall street bankers are dominating the administration, they are doing a poor job of drafting policy for wall street, because wall street is complaining. they raise the point of what liberals are thinking. government does not work if one group thinks they are going to control it. it's wrong to think that. there's nothing wrong with compromise. elizabeth warren can say she is opposed to the nominees that the president put forward. but i would challenge conservatives and liberals alike to call this president an over compromiser or precompromiser if he deserved that title, that would be a good thing. that means we get more things done in washington. one of the things that i think the times is off, i think the president could have gotten more from the republicans before doing this, i would love to see the minimum wage increase. >> right, where are the bargaining chips being used? >> i don't think they are being

>> last night, people tuned in to the president's speech across the country in places like oregon, arizona and texas, it was an emotional moment for immigrants. the latin grammys were briefly delayed as the full house of musicians and celebrity watched on the big screen. and joining us now from capitol hill, the income chair woman, linda sanchez, great to have you on this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> it was certainly a big moment and i -- i applaud what the president did the. that's where i stand on it. but having said that, i want to ask can you about the poll particular -- i want to ask you about the politics there was a bit of a lecture of the president about him having no choice here. and mitch mcconnell lecturing back on how the government works. given dynamic of what happened over the past 24 hours, why would is house gop be more
inclined to pass a bill? >> the house gop made a promise that they would take up the issue of immigration reform and they did not come through on the promise. the step last night was a huge step forward and it may propel them to sit down and think seriously about proposing something. because they have done nothing. and so, i think in the grand scheme of things -- >> but isn't it a step forward politically? because might he have said, look, i'm going to do this, unless you and then given them time to pass a bill? >> we have been waiting more than 500 days. that is more than a year for the republicans in the house to put up a bill on a yes or no vote. all they have to do is schedule the vote. they don't have to write something, it was worked out overwhelmingly passed in the senate on a bipartisan basis. that is democrats and
republicans. and he promised, the speaker promised he would take it up and then back tracked on that. so, you know, republicans have never really wanted to work with the president. they want to thwart attempts to move the country forward and take care of our country's business and then when nothing gets done because they fail exercise leadership, they love to point the finger of blame at others. the fact of the matter is, the president has been urging the speaker of the house for more than a year to put something on the floor. and it has not happened. and you know, these sudden, you know, cries from the republicans side, we need more time, we need more night titime, it's disinge >> i'm not saying that they are whining, i'm wondering in the president's decision was politically strategic? >> well --
>> i'm asking ray, hold on, and then it will go to you. >> >> he set a high bar for himself. he had promised action when he began this congress if the house did not act. the house did not act, many people were urging him to make this announcement before the just completed elections. he didn't do it. now, the pressure was really going to rachet up and he moved. >> all right, harold ford, jr.? >> congresswoman sanchez, good mo morning. >> good morning. >> we heard people say he acted how he did last night, do you take them at their word that it poisons the well and may make it difficult to move and find progress on other issues from either the minimum wage to energy to health care to other issues that are important to the democratic caucus?
>> i will tell you that i don't believe that there was ever any intention to really compromise and sit down and try the to work on areas where we can find common ground and i think they look for excuses not to really work with the president on the business that the country needs to get to. >> right. >> you talk about tax reform this year. i sieve on the -- i serve on the ways and means committee, we tried to work with the republican chairman of the committee to try to get it done and it was their side that derailed the attempt and not the democrats. they promise, we want to really work on this and we need more time and the reality is they don't have any intention of trying to compromise and workout differences in areas where we may have common ground. >> all right. >> and i think they use the issue of immigration to do what, you know, secretly they want to do anyway, which is just try to
thwart attempts to get anything moving in the congress. >> all right. >> congresswoman linda sanchez, thank you for being up early with us. we appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. >> javier, let's take it all told, does the action the president took make the comprehensive immigration reform, everyone agrees it needs to take place, and disagrees on how to get there, does it make it more likely or less likely to get something done next year? >> sadly the only thing more broken than our immigration system is our congress. i hope and pray that there will be leadership from both sides of the aisle. they need to work collaboratively to find an answer for the american people. >> do you think it will happen? >> i surely hope so and i think the american business has spoken loudly on this, small business
has. voices like lowell mcadams at verizon, randal stevenson in at&t and goldman sachs have called for clarity and movement forward, we want immigration reform. >> thank you very much, both of you for being on this morning. coming up next, one of our favorite jimmy kimmel bits. celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves. we will be right back.

issues. and roof concerns for so many homes. >> this is still very much a developing story, i think what the after affects of this will be playing out for days. all right, let's get to the big, big news on immigration this morning. last night in a speech to the nation, the president made the emotional case for wide ranging immigration reform, with a nod to the political blow-back that lies ahead. the president heads to las vegas to curry favor for the plan that he said focuses on deporting felons not families. the white house said that the plan shifts resources to the border and extreme -- stream lines immigration reform. it will allow workers to come here and work longer especially in the high tech industry. and it protects 5 million people. he argued that every president since eisenhower has taken
executive action on immigration, it's clear he is a wear of the politics ahead. >> do not be a disagreement on a single issue be a deal breaker on every issue. that's now how democracy works and congress should not shutdown the government because we disagree on this. >> republicans are outragesed and the presidents top leaders are using his words against him. >> the president has said before he is not kin, and he is not an emperor, but he is acting like one. and he is doing it in a time when the american people want nothing more than for us to work together. >> he was talking about immigration that day. i know that some wesh i could by-pass congress and change the law myself. but that is not how democracy works. indeed, mr. president, it isn't. >> it was looked at the previous comments on executive authority and what he is saying now.
according to the site, it is false when he said his had position has not changed. but there's division among the gop on how best to respond to the president. many top legislators and governors are considering legal action. some are pushing for budget strikes and others have dangled the idea of a shutdown and others still won't fully rule out impeachment. >> appropriation bill is one area where the senate and congress can prioritize spending and we can defund areas of president obama's lawlessness and we should do so, so use the power of the purse. >> are you worried about the political blow-back on the republicans if they do it some. >> not if it's targeted and limited. what are we talking about? denying a couple of million dollars in spending in month, it's not threatening government shutdown or anything drastic. >> third would be to cut out of the appropriation's bills those funds that would fund this, that is the progressive effort of this moving forward.
but, i don't want to do the last thing, i don't want to do the " "i" word. >> some republicans urge caution, lindsey graham said if you over react, it becomes about us and not about president obama. matt lewis, is the president acting like an emperor or what could he have done to prompt action like he did last night? >> well, the emperor word is something that president obama brought up. that comes from him. i know, everybody is going to talk and say the republicans are calling him that that, he has said multiple times that this is not legal. what he did last night and what he said he was going to do was beyond his purview as president. and congress would have to do it and he said i'm not an emperor i can't do that. i think there's a temptation for
republicans to kind of use his language against him. it's a bad idea probably. i think i'm with the majority of americans on this. i think most of the policies are good policies, but the problem is that the way our system works the way democracy works is, this has to go through the legislative process. that is best for everybody. >> it not going to happen, matt, and i'm not going -- i'm trying not to -- you know what side of this i'm on. but it's -- do you think something would have happened had the president not done what he did last night? do you think we would have had a bill? come on, nothing would have happened. do we agree on that? >> i don't think, well with, it's hard to tell what might have happened over time. i agree that not within the next couple of weeks or even months. but i think it's less likely now that we will have a bipartisan consensus on this. where people like me, who have been arguing in favor of immigration reform actually now have a harder time making the
argument to conservatives and republicans because of the over-reach. he has poisoned the well on it. >> couldn't they approximatespa? >> i think it's a disservice to hispanics ultimately. the fundamental problem, i think, is the precedent it sets. if a president can just rewrite had this law, what can't a president do? and so -- >> but you are acting like it has never happened before and it's an incredibly strange. it has happened before. the presidents have issued executive orders before. >> i think it's unprecedented. if you look at what president reagan did, i'm proud he tackled immigration reform. when ronald reagan and george hw bush tweaked the law, that is different, they were operating on a law that had recently passed and they were fixing sort of using their authority to make
fixes to a law that congress had just approved. vastly different than what president obama is doing. there's no law for him to base these on. and in fact, he is going against what the voters just told him two weeks ago. >> i'm picking on matt, harold ford, jr., i don't mean to, couldn't the republicans still do something in response to this that would produce results? >> one would hope that is the reaction. >> i think they could. >> let's layout a couple of facts. this is good policy that the president laid out and what he has done is different than what he said he was going to do, because he said that he could not act alone. th matt is correct. and it will have affect on other legislation in the congress. which is a equal and bigger concern of mine. taxes, health care, energy, minimum wage, there's a number of things and the president will need republicans support on the continuing avalanche of foreign
policy changes. the timing is a little provocati provocative, was it the right time to do it should he have given congress time? and if they did not act, he acts. that is a legitimate question and one had the white house has to answer, particularly if they cannot get other things advanced. >> let's try and be productive. everyone could find something wrong with what has happened and how the republicans are responding and we can sit and argue about that. but matt, could the new republican congress, maybe perhaps respond with a bill? >> well, look, i think they could and i think they should. i mean, the problem is, i think that president obama was trolling republicans, i think that what he has been hoping to do is to actually, i believe that the democrats essentially want to own, they want to be the party of immigration reform. and that by doing this, he actually makes it harder for people like me who believe in
immigration reform. and i think the danger is republicans will over react. and it does not even have to be a leadership. it could just be a back bench member of congress that says something horrible now that will dominate. so my advice is look, i think republicans should tune it out and go about doing their business and i think they should pass a series of immigration reform bills that can start with border security, but they cannot end there. it has to continue. i personally believe in a path way to citizenship. assuming people meet all sorts of criteria along the way. >> don't tell anyone i agree with a lot of what you are saying. first, you have some news on the form president, jimmy carter? >> it's great that matt talks about the context of former presidents and when executive orders have happened in the past, we sat down with jimmy carter, former president, in a wide ranging discussion and they discussed everything from voting
laws to edward snowden and recurring criticism on the right. >> john mccain, reaching for the worst possible insult for president obama earlier this year said this, i have never seen anything like this in my life, i thought jimmy carter was bad, but he pales in comparison to this president in my opinion. the serious question is, what does it feel like and what is your response to these moments of being used as an insult? your legacy being used a as an insult? >> that is a compliment for me coming from a war -- i was lucky enough when i was president to keep our country at peace and to provide peace for others. i was lucky enough to go through my four years, with he never dropped a bomb or fired a missile or shot a bullet. >> wow, okay. here with us now from washington we have nbc news political
director and moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd, who is the author of the stranger, barack obama in the white house. i wonder when you watch today president if he adhered to the narrative in your book as opposed to being consiliatory, do you feel he had no choice? >> he well, yes, of course was politically provocative. they knew they were doing that and i think there was different clae calculations that they made. i think they regret that they waited. i think the senate democrats over panicked and over reacted, and they are right, had he announced it this earlier, some would have lost by big more points. there's regret that they did not do it sooner. they worried about credibility with hispanic activists and he put the republicans in the box.
they have control of congress. you know, that line, pass a bill. look, i think there's people that are going be okay with the policy that was announced and not like how he went about doing it. right? so, that's the box the republicans are in because what he announced is not something that is offensive to the american people. what they don't like is how he went about doing it. they wish washington do it in a more functional manner, all of those things. but the policy itself is not that unpopular, which is why i think it does put the onus on the republicans they have to put their money where their mouth is. >> chuck, good morning, harold ford, you look at congress and how they behave and treat the president. the president traveled to china and announced that the internet should be regulated like an old telephone monopoly that angered congress. and he now takes this step, what
does it mean going forward, play it 3 to 6 months going forward. other important issues and obviously the avalanche of foreign policy challenges, does the president now have not only a different congress and republican congress to deal w perhaps a more polarized congress to deal with in the coming months? >> it could, it will be interesting to see how mcconnell a and boehner handle their base. it's the base conservatives that would like to be more aggressive. they feel the president is being away aggressive against them. fight fire with fire, if it means using the power of the purse, threatening government showdowns when it comes to funding, so beit. now the leadership does not want that. they are kind of hoping that the way to challenge the president, have the lawsuit, maybe it's the state of texas, constituent of ok -- state of oklahoma, but states are pondering the idea of
suing the president over it and trying to get the courts to do it. but i don't know if it changes the relationship with -- i guess i just don't believe that things would be any better or worse if he did this now or didn't. >> all right, we have one more for you, chuck, this is on obama-care. thomas? >> the department of health and human services acknowledging that it made acceptable mistakes for including dental plans. this error added 380 dental subscribers to the roles raising the total sign ups to over 7 million. once the numbers were readjusted it puts the enrollment below. and the administration was using the number as the benchmark goal. the cbo set it out there. this error came to light through the house oversight and government reform committee. this is adding insult to injury
after all of the gruber comments have come to light and the numbers have been a lynch pin of bragging rights, so how do they spin it? >> they have to have a better second year number. i think at the end of the day, 6.7 to 7.1, if they are within 400,000, or 500,000, of the second is year number, it's not such a big deal. now they revise the second year estimate down, and now this is being revised down. they have to start worrying that they have -- that they've got a marketing issue here with the plan itself. but, you know -- >> all right. >> i think it proves that they are not anti-dentites. >> that is it. there you go. thank you very much. chuck, what do you have on "meet the press" on sunday? >> we are going to do a lot of focus on immigration and do a look at energy and how it is
totally changed some of our foreign policy attack whattacks comes to iran and russia and our economy here at home. >> we will be watching that sunday morning on "meet the press." thank you. come canning up, aaron shock and brooke shields and we go live to a snow weary buffalo to say the least. where dylan is standing by somewhere underneath the snow banks. josh earnest is our guest. you are watching "morning joe," we will be right back. get to the terminal across town. are all the green lights you? no. it's called grid iq.

♪ my fellow americans, we are and always be a nation of
immigrants. we were striangers once too and whether our forebarers crossed the pacific or the rio grand, we are here because the country welcomed them in and taught us that being american is more than what we look like, what our last names are or how we worship. >> that does not sound like an emperor to me, it sounds like a leader. good to have you back on the show, gary. he is the co-author of latino america, how america's most dynamic population is poised to transform the politics of the nation. what do you think the impact of the president's action will be if the republicans don't come back in kind with the bill? >> i think in the short-term, it's going to dramatically improve the lives of a lot of people who are here just trying
to earn a living and support their family. it's going to protect them from the threat of deportation and the threat of family division. i think it's going to be a big political win for the president, in terms of support for his party's success on the democratic ticket. >> some of the things that republicans have said in the last few days and they screamed about last night, i happen to agree that the presidents remarks were on point. some feel it's going to serve as an invitation for people to come to the border with the hopes that they will be legal. do you think it's a valid criticism of the president? >> i don't think it's a legitimate criticism, it suggests that any action that addresses the situation of the 11 million undocumented in the united states would create more undocumented. the policy is very clear.
that it does not address anyone who has been here a short period of time and it prioritizes deport tagzs, folks that arrived after january 1st of this year and it redirects border enforcement to the border to try to make sure that no additional people cross. so, i think it's actually a rational policy. if the idea is that if you do anything about the undocumented that you invite more the only logical solution is to do nothing forever and i don't think that is viable. >> do you think the president should have programmed tried to work behind scenes with congress before taking bold action? >> i think that that's a talking point from the right. but i don't think it's a realistic view. to believe that that would have worked is to believe that a republican congress, which has been obstructionist for four years is taking control of the senate and going to be in the
mood for more compromise. the house of representatives has had 500 days plus to act on a bipartisan senate bill or offer their own and they have done absolutely nothing. >> gary, thank you very much. we want to go to the white house now, white house press secretary josh ernest joins us now. josh, let's get right to the heart of the fight. >> let's do it. >> the republicans blasted the president ahead of his address, using his own words against him. take a listen, boehner/mcconnell. >> the president said he is not an emperor, but he is sure acting like one. and he is doing it in a time when the american people want us to work together. >> he was talking about immigration that day. i know that some wish that i could bypass congress and change the law myself. but that's not how democracy works. indeed mr. president, it isn't. >> okay, but this is not
democracy working either. first of all, is he acting like an emperor, it is a new congress, should he have gone behind the scenes and said, let's see if we can work together and give a window of time and come up with something and pass it? >> i will say a couple of things. if he was a king or e in mperor, he would have implemented the bipartisan senate bill that passed the law 500 days ago. he asked the attorney general to review the authority he had under the law and he used every element of the law within the confines of the law to reform the immigration system. and that is what he did last night and it's entirely consistent with the way that the president bush, president george hw bush tried to address that when they were president. as it relates to waiting to the next congress, 2 or 3 days after
the mid term elections, speaker boehner was asked if he intended to bring i mmigration reform to the new congress. he would not commit to doing so it's a clear indication that we cannot wait for them to act to this. we need something acted to right now and the president delivered last night. >> i found parts of the speech to be beautiful as it pertained to what this country is businessbusiness -- is based on and the concepts and immigrants. having said that, he lectured the republicans and we got lectures back from the other side and we are hearing lectures on both sides. is it warmer behind the scenes, how do we get to a point where we get action that is not just one side kicking the other over the edge? >> i mean, as it relates to the president's speech right now, i
do think that everyone who watched the speech last night could tell that the president was speaking to the heart. he was talking about the values that animated his commitment to public life for the last couple of deck a aades and he was talk about what he believes the united states of america can and should be. i think the steps he announced last night are consistent with those values, those are the kind of values that the democrats and republicans across the country can will say they share, and people that did not vote for the president or are supporters of the president understand how the steps that he announced last night are consistent with the kinds of of values that we embrace as americans. >> what is that -- at this point, since we are here, almost -- what is happening behind the scenes? has he reached out to republicans? is there any attempt to negotiate on this or is that over on this point? >> well, i think we consider the announcement that the president made last night a first step in trying to fix the broken immigration system. the president is standing ready to work with democrats and
republicans. we have a good temporalate for that. we have a great template for the congress to take up legislation and work with the administration and try to advance it through the senate and the house. the president would be happy to do that. it would be good for the economy and good for job creation and good for border security and good for reducing the deficit. there's a whole host of reasons to make progress on a piece of common sense legislation like that. and the president is ready to do it. if the congress passes legislation, the president will rip up the legislation made last night. >> what about the idea that it's a change in tune and a change in substance in the president when he said he could not do it alone. how does the white house or president respond to that? >> he cannot implement the senate bill, we need the house of representatives to pass the senate bill and that means we need house republicans to stop
blocking the bill. he did everything that he could within the confines of of the law to use his executive authority to repair the broken immigration system. that is not as much authority as congress has in the matter. what the president did yesterday was of consistent with steps that were taken by president george hw bush, and president reagan. what president obama did is consistent with what president reagan did. when bush tried to fix broken aspects of the system, expanded legislation that congress passed to include 40% of the undocumented population in the country at that time. so, president george hw bush took a sweeping step to try to address problems president obama did the same thing last night. >> all right, josh ernest, good to see you, thank you very much. >> thank you for the opportunity guys. have a good friday. >> thanks, you too, coming up actress brooke shields remembers her remarkable career and how

welcome back to "morning joe," finally january is going to end, or the weather we are experiencing. what happened in buffalo is tragic, now the deg dths are upo 12. dylan dreyer has been there covering the story. you were in jersey and you lived in boston for a long time, people cannot relate and picture this. you were in one of the most intense bands in your life that you have been in your life, try to explain it to people, they see snow every year and not compare it to what you saw. >> i'm used to snow. i grew up with it, boston, we cover nor'easters all the time. you saw the stuff i was tweeting yesterday. you could not see two feet in front of you and we got stuck in the snow bank because of the white out conditions. here, covers are buried in snow and in walmart, there's several people that were living there
for the last five days. monday, they are making their own community there. and communities all across the area, they are finally breathing a sigh of relief that the snow is over. but now, they feel the concern of the long lasting impact of the snow. widespread concern this morning that a year's worth of snow over a few days is too much to the bare. >> we have been deing with reports of collapsing roofs. >> reporter: no sooner than the snow stopped that the residents were getting the snow off of their roofs. >> i looked up and had a 16-foot crack between the wall and ceiling. >> reporter: patients were evacuated over concerns that the roof would not hold. crews are working around the clock to clear the streets. here, more than 30 people have been stranded in a walmart since monday. >> i know exactly where my vehicle is, it's under 10 feet
of snow in the main entrance. >> their cars buried. these guys have camped out, where else? in the entertainment section and in the automotive section. when we left, we got stuck too. a plow helped ous out of the walmart parking lot. the buffalo bills will have to hit the road as well. the game against the jets has been moved to someplace that is not in snow. and the nfl has announced that the game will be played monday night in detroit in ford field, which is a domed field, so snow will not be an issue and as for the people in the walmart, they can dig out their car cs today, but there's travel bans so they cannot get to road until that is lifted and the concern with the flooding this week. it's one thing after another. >> i'm sure everyone is glad that the snow was over.
it was like a thunderstorm of snow, cool, but -- >> yeah, it was. >> amazing stuff. >> coming up on "morning joe," it's not a question of if republicans want to block the president's decision on immigration, it's a question of how.

member of the weiays and means committee. and political analyst jeff greenfield. his book is now out in paperback. good to have you back. >> good to be here. >> what is the president doing with the action last night? >> i cannot assess motives, i don't know if he is sticking an eye in the republican party or not, sure, if he is not intending to it, it sure happened. and one of the things that happened, if you step back a minute, to me, it's having the same impact as the less fortunate comments that the president on the health care plan. where the debate immediately is moving away from the substance of what he is doing to how he do it. the same statement, if you like your doctor, you can keep it, dominated the discussion of health care, what we are hearing now is the debate whether he
exceeded his constitutional authority. and i think the idea, this is somehow, when i hear people say, cooler heads will prevail, i don't believe that for a minute. i don't think we have seen it for the last six years by and large. in the wake of the election and the act, whether it's legal or not is provocative, it's going to make the less calm members of your caucus enraged. so, i know i don't mean to come out here on the eve of thanksgiving and be pessimistic, but bet the under on my meaningful accomplishment. >> let's ask a member of congress, will cooler heads reisrar prevail? >> on what issue? >> on this issue. will there be a bill? will had there be an outcome that is consilcilitory?
>> the president has blown up the trust. so, it kind of stopped any progress in the house. our hope was now, with the republican senate that no only immigration reform, but the other 380 bills that we passed with bipartisan votes in the house will get to the senate and get to the president's desk so we can negotiate. >> josh earnest said he will rip it up if he come up with a bill. >> any immigration bill, the president said if you do not like what i have done, pass a bill. i think congress should. i have been pushing for on it. it will not be a massive bill like the senate passed. we will do a border security bill like we did had in the homeland security that passed unanimously, and a visa expansion and deal with the dream act kids. so, we have solutions on to these problems. the problem is harry reed said we are not taking your bill and
the house said we are not taking the senate bill and we were in a stand still. which is why it did not get done. now after the election, we have the ability to get our ideas to the president's desk so we can negotiate with him. >> jack? >> very simple question. is the republican house caucus and the republican senate caucus now more or less charitably disposed to comprehensive immigration, i would say less. >> after his actions? >> after the election? the new republican senators from what i saw, they are not inclined to embrace anything approaching comprehensive immigration reform and i think some of the new house members are the same. and they are the ones that are going to get the most attention fairly or not. last night, if i may, last night, watching your network and fox. >> oh, that must have been fun. >> cnn was covering college costs, which is another thing. who did hannity book? michelle bachmann and he did not book you, did he? and i think --
>> that is not his fault. i mean, don't pick on aaron. he is a good guy. >> i'm sympathizing with aaron, that is not who the folks are turning to. and i can't understand -- >> that feeds to your point, the method at which the president is using that will be the distraction to getting something done. so congressman, last night in listening to the president, what was aggravating to the methodology to the president's executive action, leading with border security and leading with wanting to do immigration reform and talking about protecting american families, not felons. what was aggravating to your ear about that approach? >> what was aggravating was had that i agreed with a lot of what he said, but i did not deal with his action. his executive action tammys to do legislatively what he wants the congress to do. that is getting around the operation of powers of our congress. he talks about a visa program
for people that are in college that he wants to keep. he talks about border security, additional bored security. so, this is not just another clinton, regan bush type order. it's sweeping and so what was aggravating from my standpoint was mr. president, if you really want to do those step by step issues you just outlined then come work with congress. >> what's the part, jeff, from your covering presidents over decades and the strategies for negotiation, and the behind the scenes part, is there something missing from this process, was the president's action last night provocative because it missed something else? >> what is missing is what has changed completely in washington. every time i hear the auction about well, this is what reagan and tip o'neal used to do. >> right. >> i mean, this is what clinton and newt gingrich used to do. >> everything looks good in retrospect. >> that is right. and there's a change here. you know, part of the thing that
i was thinking about, was back five years ago when the republicans drew lines in the sands in first weeks after obama's inaugural, a lot of them said this is good for us, because the american power pl-- public does not like obstructionism. do you think it has hurt the republican party? >> yes. >> take a look at the mid terms. >> we have passed bills ou s ou the house. i'm tired of hearing how republicans were obstructionists, we have passed 380 bills. >> all right, willie geist sits down with brooke shields, next on "morning joe." holiday music ) hey! i guess we're going to need a new santa

anyway, of your relationship with your mother, that it was kind of a mommy dearest thing. she put you in "pretty baby" when you were 12 and the commercial when you were 15. that's not really the way it was though, was it? >> it's not. i'm not trying to discredit that we did do all of those things. but the main sort of point that i was trying to make is i wasn't a victim. you know, i wasn't -- we weren't making career decisions as to what meant any difference now to the next job, to the next, the next. we were just in this business. we were sort of taking what was offered to us. if it worked, if it paid, if we were able to get a car, a house. you know. we sort of just did these willy-nilly jobs. >> was there any part of you later in life that looks back and says, ooh, "pretty baby," maybe i was too young for that? >> no, those are the more enduring pieces of art that i'm

the roof showed signs of collapsing. >> there's a potential for it. >> reporter: more than 2 dozen people driven from the roads by whiteout conditions and deep snow have been holed up in this walmart store since tuesday. >> couldn't ask for a better place to be stranded. >> reporter: from the air, we could see entire sections of the buffalo area painted in white. rooftops that look as if they've been slathered in whipped cream. >> we worked our way south of buffalo and it gets a lot worse. these are unplowed streets. we can count dozens of cars that were stopped in their tracks, barely the roof is visible. it's like "the day the earth stood still." >> reporter: there are neighborhoods still cut off, surrounded by chest deep snow. we venture down one cul-de-sac on foot where we can only shout a conversation with mary ann. have you ever seen it like this.
>> i've never seen it like this. >> reporter: officials say they're doing their best to reach those facing emergencies and are reminding home brown residents to take precautions. >> you're looking at the latest photos from the buffalo bills football stadium which is covered in snow. their scheduled game on sunday against the jets have been moved to monday night at ford field at detroit. they're trying to get people to shovel it out. that is just impossible at this point. bill karins with the latest. >> these snow total are also off the chart. the highest total we have in is over seven feet of snow in this three-day event. it's really two storms that were separated by one day. all through that area, hamburg with 80 inches. orchard park where the stadium was located was 71. al de n, new york, 56. sarah sent me this picture. she's finally free. a front loader came in overnight and dug her out.
her son climbing the mountain of snow now in her front yard. that snow's not going anywhere. we are going to melt a considerable amount this weekend. we're going to get to 51 on sunday, 61 on monday. it will be a little humid out there too so that melts the snow faster. half-inch of rain. we are worried about flooding. worst damage was done by snow and the weight of the snow. the good news is, over the weekend, warm air builds across the country. are two weeks of january-type weather over with after today. >> bill, we've got the big news now this morning out of washington. in the words of president, we were strangers once too. last night in a speech to the nation, the president made the emotional case for wide-ranging immigration reform. with a nod to the political blowback that lies ahead. curry favor for the plan that he says focuses on deporting felons, not families. the white house says the plan
shifts resources to the boarder, streamlines immigration courts and protects human trafficking victims. it would remove barriers for foreign workers to come here and stay longer, especially in the high-tech industry. but the centerpiece prevents the deportation of as many as 5 million americans. most of whom are the parents of children who were born on u.s. soil. while he argued every president since eisenhower has taken executive action on immigration, it is clear the president is aware of the perilous politics ahead. >> don't let a disagreement over a single issue be a deal breaker on every issue. that's not how our democracy works. and congress certainly shouldn't shut down our government again just because we disagree with this. >> let's look at how "the new york times," first line, president obama chose confrontation over conciliation. i know you support what the president has done. however what could have been more conciliatory in terms of the moves here?
>> i think first and foremost, our association of 3.2 million hispanic owned firms in this country that collectively contribute over $486 billion to the american economy stand in support of the president's action. it is not the panacea that anybody has hoped for. >> i get that. i understand that. you and i are on the same page. could he have been more conciliatory? could he have waited? could he have given him a deadline? >> certainly, i think he could have. the reality of it, there's a bipartisan bill that has sat in the congress now for over a year. we prefer some action versus no action at all. >> ray suarez what do you think? >> well, certainly, there was risk involved for the president, but it might have even been a bigger risk to wait any longer. the president's been calling for congress to act on this for a long time, for years, in fact. congress couldn't even pass the dream act which for a long time was considered the low-hanging fruit of immigration reform. if you couldn't take the most sympathetic immigrants, people
who were brought here as babes in arms in many cases, and make them at least safe from deportation, what little could you accomplish? the house had a long time to do something on this. did nothing. the president was advised by many to act earlier this year in advance of the elections. he didn't. his clock was running. he was under a lot of pressure too. >> yet, willie geist, the republicans already sounding the alarm here. >> it almost goes without saying, republicans are incensed about this. using the president's own words against him now. >> the president has said before he's not kin. and he's not an emperor. but he's sure acting like one. he's doing it at a time when the american people want nothing more than for us to work together. >> he was talking about immigration that day. i know that some wish that i could just bypass congress. and change the law myself. but that's not how a democracy works. indeed, mr. president, it isn't.
>> looked at the president's previous comments on executive authority and what he's saying now. according to the site, it is false when he says his position has not changed. saying the move will only embolden more desperate people to make the dangerous crossing to the united states from mexico. there is key division on how best to respond to the president. many considering legal action. some are pushing for surgical budget strikes. others have dangled the idea of a shutdown. others still will not fully rule out impeachment. >> appropriation bills are the one area in which the senate and congress can prioritize funding. we can defund areas of president obama's lawlessness. we should do so. we should use the power of the purse. that happens all the time. >> -- on the republicans if they do that? >> not if it's very targeted, very limited. what are we talking about? denying a couple million cars worth of spending issuing those
permits? this is not threatening government shutdown or anything drastic. >> a resolution of disapproval. second would be a censure. third would be to cut out of the appropriation bills those funds that would fund this. that's the progressive effort of this moving forward. but i don't want to do the last thing. i don't want to do the "i" word. nobody wants to throw the nation into that kind of turmoil. the president has thrown us into this situation. >> you hear some caution being exercised there. senator lindsey graham joined that chorus. he said, quote, if you overreact, it becomes about us and not about president obama. harold ford, where does this go from here? we've got the executive action. we're going to have a republican house and senate come january. they could pass their own law that the president could then veto. >> the president said do it. pass the bill. >> hopefully they do that. i think first of all, i think the substance of what the president said last night was spot on. there's no doubt these are steps that should have been taken. i think the timing is wrong. it probably would have been better to give the republican new congress three months to have acted on this.
they chose not to, the president would have still had the opportunity to act back on executive action. don't agree with the president or ray on that, this should have been done. interest will be ramifications for there. the republicans warned kwint fra quite frontily before this happened. this issue is important. it may end up being the only issue that gets done over the next several months because republicans are hopefully not stupid enough to try to impeach the president or equally silly and try to shut down government. i do think the democratic party in the congress is going to have reverberations from this and it could be negative. >> do you agree? do you think the timing is perhaps a little bit evocative? putting the republicans in a place where, again, they do what they always do, try and knock down what he's done instead of try and come up with something productive. he could have give be them time to do. >> no doubt, it was provocative. the fact of the matter is, he's the leader. he attempted to lead. i think there's a wonderful
opportunity here for the republican party to look at this as a wonderful option. the reality of it is, there's an amazing electorate. hispanic electorate that is growing by leaps and bounds. every month in this country, 52,000 hispanics turn 18 and become an eligible voter. every 30 seconds, an hispanic turns 18 and becomes an eligible voter. the republicans have an opportunity to ingratiate themselves to that electorate and finishing what has begun long before president obama came along. >> ray, do you think the republicans are going to see this as a wonderful opportunity? >> no, they're not going to see it as a wonderful opportunity. but i think it is clear that in some ways the president has painted them into a corner. it's true when the president says what he's done is very limited. it only is in effect for, in effect, the life of his administration. it cab be rescinded by the next president. it can be overridden by legislation. but do the republicans want to
aggressively move to break up families to start sending people home by using their legislative tools that they've been reluctant to use so far? the president, they're making believe they've never heard of prosecutorial discretion. all he did was move them to the back of the line for waiting to be deported. he can't regularize their status. he didn't do that. do the republicans want to move in there and say no, sorry buddy, you're getting on the next plane? i don't know if they want to do that. >> javier, i know this is a question with a long answer. what is your membership? what do you think hispanics, latinos in general are looking on? what is a sound immigration policy? >> i think comprehensive, permanent. we are an organization that focuses on economic development.
anything that helps entrepreneurs and small business in this country is what we're looking for. there is an opportunity here to illustrate desperately needed leadership and collaboration in this country. that's what american business wants right now, clarity. >> the white house is pushing forward with its pick for a top treasury post. despite growing criticism from democrats. noticeably, senator elizabeth warren. the administration has no plans to pull back on the nomination of antonio weiss, a former global investment banker who critics say helped companies avoid taxes by moving their addresses overseas. in an online op-ed, entitled "enough is enough," senator warren writes, in part, this, it is time for the obama administration to loosen the hold that wall street banks have over economic policymaking. sure, big banks are important. but running this economy for american families is a lot more important. politico describes warren's
growing power in the party as a test for senator schumer who is looking to strike a balance between them. in a poll of thousands of members of the left leaning group democracy for america. she definitely has popularity on left and the far, far left for sure. bill cosby is scheduled to take the stage tonight for a performance, as the list of women accusing him of sexual assault grows. a 57-year-old florida nurse says cosby drugged and raped her in las vegas when she was 19. but she continued to see him. and later asked for and received thousands of dollars from him. >> he changed the course of my life. instead of empowering me like he says he does to people, he made me a victim, and all my life, i've been a victim because of
this. that doesn't go away for all the days of my life. >> the wife of the incredible hulk actor lou ferrigno is also speaking out. claims cosby tried to force himself on her at his home in 1967 but she was able to get away. new york's daily news says it has an exclusive interview with another woman who says the comedian lured her into a hotel room in 1992 and assaulted her. and an actress who appeared in "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" says cosby forced her to perform oral sex in a tonight show dressing room. cosby's attorneys disputed the allegations. saying, the stories are getting more ridiculous. i think people are trying to come up with these wild stories in order to justify why they have waited 40 to 50 years to disclose these ridiculous accusations. the producers of "the cosby
show" break their silence saying the being accusations are beyon knowledge or comprehension. florida is scheduled to appear tonight in melbourne. he did not address allegations last night during a show in the bahamas. in the past, cosby has denied allegations made by other women. has never been criminally charged. >> he's going to have to company out and say something at some point. it's getting away from him. if these allegations are true. it's obviously horrible. that ap interview he did a couple nights ago where he on camera asked the correspondent to edit out the question and his response about this. >> he didn't even respond. >> kind of what i thought was telling. none of this is proven. but he needs to talk about it. >> still ahead, the congressman from california joins the conversation. ahead of the president's event

it has helped so many of our families. i know for him it is a personal issue. even though whatever else is involved with it, i think at the end of the day, it's going to be about the families that have met him, the families that have interacted with him. i don't think any other senator in this country has taken the time like him to actually go to our homes to meet with us, to actually see how we live. there's a lot of candidates that are running for lower offices that don't even take the time to do that. >> all right. that was an immigration activist from las vegas. one of the so-called dreamers who president obama mentionneedn
his speech last night. joining us now, host of ralston reports, jon ralston. from los angeles, democratic congressman tony cardenes from california, elected by his colleagues to lead the main fund-raising arm for the congressional hispanic caucus. also with us from washington, the host of msnbc's "the rundown," jose diaz-balart. good to have you. jon, the president's heading your way today. what is his strategy to drive the point home? >> las vegas has a large hispanic population. the largest hispanic population in the country at about 7%. he has been to the high school where he's going to sign the executive action twice before, including in january of 2013, when he laid out what he hoped was going to be the immigration reform bill that passed. there's a lot of symbolism here.
but it's also a big favor i think to harry reid who you just met, you just saw. harry reid has talked a lot about astrid silva. the president brought up astrid silva in his speech. what's not as well known is astrid silva's father has been under a deportation order for some time and it appears he is going to be covered by this executive action. >> jose diaz-balart, i'd like you to take it to representative cardenes. first, give me a sense of how you think the president did last night. >> for millions of people in this country who have been living here for more than five years who have u.s. born children or residents in the united states, this is a life changing thing. because even though it's going to be limited for a three-year period, this is going to be the opportunity of millions and millions of families to company out from under the shadows of fear and be able to participate in this country in a way they've
been doing, many of them, for many years, but now they will be able to do so without the fear of disappearing. there are millions of people that every day leave their homes, to drop their children off at the bus stop or to go to work and don't know if they are going to come home at the end of the day because they don't have the papers. this is a life-changing thing for millions of people. and we have to remember, the last six years, 2 million people have been deported from the united states. that's the entire city of houston that has been deported. and this is going to mean a b big -- for millions of people. >> when we look at this and we think about astrid silva and her dad, their situation existed prior to the midterms. and that's painful for their family. it's painful for millions of families that are suffering just
like theirs. but how does this not look just blatantly political from the president not trying to steal the football from the republicans try to get any type of senate from being the ones to helm immigration reform for congress and he's trying to get credit for it, the president that has supported millions of people as jose points out. >> everybody in every elected office has a job. the president is the executive branch. they have a responsibility to exercise and follow through with the laws that have been enacted and the right to interpret them as well. that's what an executive order is about. the one thing i want everybody to understand, this is not just about 4 million undocumented people who are working really hard. it's about over 300 million americans. i say it's really three top issues that we're covering here with this executive action. and that is the economy, the economy, the economy. the president just set in motion an additional close to $4.5
billion over the next five years. >> congressman, why do this now? why not do this? astrid's situation, her father's situation, the situation for millions of people that have been struggling through a broken immigration system has existed and it has languished for a very long time. the president campaigned on this in '08. here we are now in his last two years seeing some type of executive action. and this is now the time where we're seeing the gop-led house, the gop-led senate, saying that they want to lead. take the football on this. and this is just the democrats saying we don't want to give you any credit for immigration reform and getting any type of thunder with the latin community. >> i would love for the republicans to take credit. the 14 republican senators should take credit. they help pass a bill. 68 out of 100 u.s. senators. this is actually instead of bipartisan tripartisan. there were two independent
senators who voted for it and 52 democrats. 68 united states senators voted for this legislation. now it's been sitting in our house. republican-controlled house. for over 500 days. so i think what happened is the president finally said enough is enough. we need to take care of our economy. we need to take care of business. and the bottom line is, like i said earlier, it's not about the president doing anything that congress didn't do. it's about the president doing something to help our economy forward. the congress refuses to do. so he's using his authority to interpret the current laws and he actually did a wonderful job. >> congressman tony cardenes, thank you. thank you very much. still ahead, willie geist goes behind the scenes of "saturday night live's" weekend update as the late-night comedy show enjoys its 40th season on the year. more "morning joe" when we return. ♪ ♪

welcome back to "morning joe." 46 past the hour. democrats are dealing with some party in fighting when it comes to a far reaching report on the cia's use of torture. several senators were locked in a closed door standoff on thursday with president obama's chief of staff. the lawmakers accuse the white house of siding with the intelligence agency in efforts to scrub key details included in the findings. democrats are reportedly concerns that the release of the report may be dragged out even longer. now that republicans are taking control of congress. senator mark udall, who lost his bid for re-election, is considering options to bypass the white house altogether. and declassify the report without the blessing of the executive branch. thomas. >> the pentagon is not waiting for approval from congress before deploying additional
american troops to iraq. the military suggested that it would wait for legislation, wait on the funding from capitol hill before the mission began. it's still unclear when lawmakers will act on a multibillion dollar request to fund operations against militants. the president announced he would send another 1,500 american troops to the region and train and advise iraqi forces in the fight against isis. >> former president jimmy carter is offering up some criticism of former secretary of state hillary clinton for defending israel's response to rocket attacks over the summer which left thousands of palestinians dead. >> that concerns me s me to som degree. i said earlier my main prayer's to bring peace to israel. you have to do it with justice and fairness to the palestinians. and there's not equality in military power between the palestinians and israel.

hundreds were studying for exams. authorities say one shooting victim is in critical condition. another now listed in good condition. the third was treated and released. >> all right. time now for business before the bell. we go to cnbc's sara eisen. the market looks like it's opening up higher this morning. what's driving it? >> well, there is this friday morning celebration. and the driver is central banks. not in this country, but globally. we got some comments very early this morning from europe, the head of the central bank there saying he's open to doing more when it companies to stimulus for europe's economy. also china cut interest rates. that was a surprise. it's basically an indication that easy money, easy policies all over the world, even if they're coming from overseas, continue to drive money into u.s. stocks. and with that said, we are set to open at record highs for the s&p 500, for the dow jones industrial average and 14 1/2 year highs for the nasdaq, the

of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®.

who is here to give us the latest effort to take on ebola in west africa. i've been on several airlifts when i was much younger as a journalist and also as a citizen, as a volunteer. you guys are amazing. when there is a disaster anywhere in the world, you swarm the area with the help that is ne needed. for ebola, you guys have got three treatment units in liberia alone, plus what else? >> we've been working this since april. we have the first call from one of our partner hospitals there in april, saying we've got some ebola cases, what can you do for us? we've been providing personal protective equipment. iv fluids for patients. over 4 million relief items. we also mobilized medical teams to go and serve there. >> so part of what you do is to get companies to jump in and try to get the support from wherever you can find it. medical supplies, food, whatever. how has the response been to
getting help to where the problem is, west africa? >> it's an interesting response. i think our government has responded well. maybe a little slowly, but relatively well in terms of setting up these ebola treatment units. we've had great support from our corporate partners who are there with a lot of material aid. this has not caused a lot support from the american public generally. we need support for the efforts we're doing not only right now but considering what we need to do to accomplish long-term goals here. >> thomas. >> when we talk about the situation of the spread, michael, and the containment of that, where does it stand right now? countries like sierra leone, liberia? >> what we're seeing in liberia is the case counts coming down, which is really good news. that's a success story. we should be grateful for that. that's evidence the strategy's working. if you put health workers in there, you give them the materials they need and you train them, you do public information messaging to the people in the community, and it works. this works. now, it's not happening in
sierra leone quite as fast. the numbers are still rising there. guinea seems to be flattening out a little bit too. we've got a new scare in mali. this is not done by any means. >> who are the corporate partners who have been most helpful, you know, because it's -- i think -- were you saying to me this is hard to sell? >> to the general public. think most of the general republican has been the few cases in the united states. the reality is people are dying every day in west africa and that's where we really need to be focused. we need the general public to come stand with us as well. and support us the way they have done in earthquakes and typhoons and those sorts of incidents as well. we need them along. corporate partners have been great. the company backster donated 50,000 bags of iv fluids. and cardinal health just hundreds and hundreds of thousands of items of personal protective gear, masks and gloves and boots and gloun s a.
we need the public to stand up too. >> when we talk about health workers, we have is the extreme situation where we just had the unfortunate loss of a 44-year-old american doctor who passed away after coming back from sierra leone. and then we have the huge example of kaci hickox who came back and was treated with the isolation in maine. from what you're hearing on the inside is that stopping people from wanting to be of service? >> no, it's not stopping people. we've had a tremendous su brt from american doctors and nurses we've contacted, asked them to go. this is really to me the great spirit american compassion. this is what we do. people see a crisis. they know we need a response. they raised their hand to go. we were talking with one of the nurses we placed there in liberia. she was going to go for an eight-week rotation. she said, i'm going to stay longer and do more. this is the great american spirit. >> i know from having been a volunteer and gone on these airlifts, these are hard.
this is grueling hard work that, you know, a lot of people -- >> no, that's true. >> people of ameri cares, like if you want the most fantastic experience of your life, volunteer, donate. >> i just want to say about the health workers that are going, these are people who are going to give up their holidays, they're going to give up their comfort. these are people who are sweating it out in their protective equipment. and yet they say we want to stay, we want to keep doing it. they're responding in the great spirit of american compassion. >> it is great to have you. good luck with everything. i learned i'm a johns hopkins mom. my daughter's home from vacation. "the rundown" with jose diaz-balart is up next. >> i know some of the critics of this action call it amnesty. well, it's not.
face-to-face with a great white shark in florida. a brave diver there. >> thank you for joining us. have a great monday. "fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. today is monday, may 19. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. if you think the scandalous v.a. couldn't get any worse, it just did. brand-new allegations this morning. veterans with heart problems and brain tumors forceed to wait months for care. another hospital destroying their records. >> great. meanwhile, the museum pays a heart wrenching tribute to those lost in the september 11 attacks, but the gift shop at the 9/11 memorial, the gift shop is sparking outrage. what is in this store that has family members disgusted? we're going to talk about that. >> the king of pop back from the dead? ♪

you were watching was the scandal at the v.a. and how many vets had to wait and probably died waiting for care. well, add another hospital to the list. this time we're talking about albuquerque, new mexico. this the v.a. officials are destroying the records as fast as they can to cover their tracks. we know that apparently vets with heart conditions, gangrene, even brain tumors waited on waiting lists way too long, all to make the front office look good. >> right. in an exclusive moment i believe with the daily beast, a doctor there, a whistle-blower saying there is an eight-month waiting list for patients to get ultra sounds on their hearts. >> eight months? >> average four months, so it could actually go more. he said though there is no proof that veterans died as a result of what allegedly happened in, phoenix, it is possible they could still be alive because of what happened earlier. this seems to be a systemic
issue facing our veterans to die at home. >> we're talking heart conditions. we're talking cancers, which means every day, every single day that you lose is monumental to the health of these veterans. and guess what? this is only a couple of weeks into this. there's going to be a lot more. there is no question this is going to continue to spread. these whistle-blowers are going to step up. and the question you have to ask -- eric shinseki, great general, terrible administrator -- isn't it time for him to step down? >> the freedom of information act provided records saying this is something this administration has known about for over five years, at minimum. >> in fact, the very first whistle-blower we had, dr. sam foote, he said he's glad this one guy we're going to talk about in a moment was forced out. but he says at this point keep shinseki because he knows how to kick butt and take names, so maybe that is the best thing to do right now. because everybody seems to be mad about it.
we've heard a number of people say -- in fact, we heard mr. shinseki himself say i'm mad as hell. >> how mad? >> he's mad as hell. but you know who's madder than him? the president of the united states. the president of the united states we haven't heard from in three weeks since ed henry asked the president a question in manila about it. so instead of the president showing up, he sent out his chief of staff who says the president isn't mad as hell. he's madder than hell. >> the president is madder than hell. and i've got the scars to prove it, given a briefing i've given the president, the conversation he and rick and i have had on these matters, the president is demanding we get to the bottom of these exact allegations you're talking talking about as it relates as to whether veterans are getting the timely access of care that they earned, that they deserve. that is exactly what we're digging into. >> is it outrage or faux rage? the under secretary for
health and the veterans affairs handed in his resignation friday. he works right under eric shinseki. this is the outrage that happened. he's going to hand in his resignation, parenthesis, means they asked him to resign. he already mentioned he was going to resign a year ago. >> they already had a press release out. >> with a press release saying he was going to be leaving in 2014. they pretended to say we're all about accountability. there it is right there. press release, members of the v.a. administration, teacher, dr. robert a. petzel will retire in 2014 as planned following a four year tenure as under secretary for health. for the administration to say we're going to be accountable for this and heads are going to start to roll, petzel was already planning on leaving. disingenuous. >> dr. sam foote, the
initial whistle-blower, he says petzel was the chief man that he's glad is gone. >> in albuquerque, this story is unbelievable. they have eight cardiologists working in the department. at any one time of the eight only three are working any day of the week. they see less than two patients a day. on average they only see 36 vets per week for the entire department. whereas med scape says 60% of the cardiologists in this country see between 50 and 124 patients per week. that's for one cardiologist. here out there in albuquerque, they've got eight doctors. they only see 36 a weeks. >> it is a problem.
according to doctors, while they are already trying to destroy the records before they can be uncovered and unveiled to the public here, the record of those long wait times for veterans that they are alleged to have had, they are also destroying the lives of those who have served our country. >> it is not only this, it's not only the treatment that they're delaying, it's actually getting approval to get the treatment. this long v.a., the waiting list that was over a million people and they got it down to only 500,000 or 600,000 people on the waiting list just to get approval just to get the benefits to wait on-line to be put on a waiting list. it is insane. these people should be treated above the standard not below the standard of health care in america. >> this is the seventh state. >> on friday peter johnson asked you if you had a personal story to let him know. hundreds of you did. wait till you hear some of them. they are heart breaking. you can count on fox to be
on this story. >> heather nauert is standing by to wish everyone a good morning and bring the latest headlines. >> good morning. hope you all had a great weekend. we have news happening overnight. an emotional apology from south korea's president following that ferry disaster that took place on april 16. he is now vogue to close down the country's coast guard amid new accusations that government regulators became too close to businesses operating there. the coast guard's duties will be taken over by the national police until a new safety agency is set up. nearly 300 people were killed in the sinking of that ferry last month. the captain and three crew members have been charged with murder. 11 other crew members have been charged with abandonment. the search is on for more people who have come into contact with the first mers patient in the united states, this after a third case has been announced by the c.d.c. officials believe an illinois man likely contracted the disease from
an indiana man who became infected while working in the health care industry in saudi arabia. the latest person to be infected did not get sick and has not been hospitalized. that's a good thing. but health care workers are testing anyone who may have come in contact with him. thousands of people evacuated from a northern virginia movie theater after the sound effects get too real for that audience. police now looking for the person who set off two soda bottle chemical devices in the theater causing loud popping sounds. the bottles contained acid and a metal that apparently reacted together and then exploded. no one was hurt. let's go to the west coast. if you live in san francisco, you better watch out for a giant green lizard. some sort of bay area prankster hatched a digital road sign. look at this.
godzilla back. turn back! the latest godzilla movie was just released this past weekend and it shows the big reptile making a mess of san francisco. some are speculating on twitter and social media that the sign was a promo stunt for the movie. it probably was. kind of cute; give you a smile on monday morning. you're not prely going to believe that. >> it's that easy to hack into the road? >> i think it's a stunt. >> speaking of stunts, it was not a stunt. apparently that beatdown between jay z and his sister-in-law solange, this video cost tmz reportedly a quarter of a million dollars. they got it from an employee of the standard hotel who has been fired. it lit up the internet and broadcast news all last week and still was burning strong last night. >> at the billboard music awards, an opportunity to make it even bigger.
take a listen. >> we're here to announce our latest investment. we just spent $3.2 billion to buy a hot new company called beatdown by solange. that was a great, great elevator pitch. >> so that needs to be explained a little bit. apple bought beats, the headphone company, $3.2 billion. cuban does the show "the shark tank" where they hear pitches and they're making a play on that. >> the beats headphones. >> the elevator beat tko*up tko*up -- beatdown was part of a planned p.r. stunt. that didn't look planned. >> then on "saturday night live" because there was no audio they were trying to explain what happened. according to "saturday night live" the reason she was going like that was because"look, there's a
spider." >> trying to make light of a situation that involved kicks and tons of money. an employee revealing the scandalous video here. >> 250 thousand bucks for that video. i think he might have gotten more. >> maybe. a lot of people saw it. we've got a very, very, very busy monday morning. thanks for joining us today. the museum pays a heart wrenching tribute to those whose lives were lost in midtown manhattan but the gift shop is sparking outrage. our next guest says what's in that store that has family members disgusted. >> you think you've had some rough days? try dealing with this when you're late for work. very busy bee there. but first another look at the billboard music awards. ♪ ♪

the museum pays a heart wrenching tribute to those lost in the attacks of september 112001. but the gift shop at the 9/11 museum is sparking outrage. what is in that store that has some family members disgusted? the founder and president of feel good foundation visited the museum on thursday night. he was a demolition super supervisor and ground zero and was part of the cleanup recovery. you went through the museum and i understand it is very, very powerful. >> it is said to be punch the gut. myself and other 9/11
responders went together. we wanted to go together as a group for support. it was tastefully done. it was -- it hurt to go there. >> sure. >> but it had to be done, and we had to go. we absorbed everything we could. towards the end when we saw that gift shop, i was taken back. and my eyes literally came out of my head like roger rabbit. and i was like this was really uncalled for. and i understand the premise for having to raise money for maintenance or salaries, but they could have did that after the 21st when the museum opened to the public. >> i posted something about, on twitter about this yesterday. and i got a ton of outrage. people said does the money go to the 9/11 victimize' families? no. it goes to the museum to help pay for the salaries and stuff like that. people felt like it was almost as if -- keep in mind, there are near the gift shop at the museum, there are unidentified
human remains for 8,000 -- people said that would be like having a gift shop at the tomb of the unknowns. >> agreed. over the last 13 years we as a society dropped the ball on the issue of sensitivity towards those who lost loved ones to 9/11 respond he wants who were sick and dying. it seems like every issue that pertains to 9/11, we lack sensitivity. to take money, to open that gift shop and let people know they can go in there and buy something during the six days this was open to family members and responders, i found that a little distasteful. >> sure. let's show you some of the things they've got in the gift shop. you can buy twin towers glass ornaments for $23. a 9/11 memorial bookmark for $13. a scarf, world trade center at lunch time when it was
standing for $19. search and rescue plush dog or the world trade center tote bag for 20 bucks. >> no one i know will buy that. that might be great for a tourist from out of state or out of country that doesn't appreciate the devastation of 9/11. but to sell that merchandise especially during these six days because you have 359 other days to make money, that was very distasteful. >> especially for the families because it looks like they're making money off of their relatives. >> a lot of people are looking for closure. going to this museum might have been that answer for them to start the healing process. you just added salt to a wound that hasn't closed in 13 years. >> here's what the 9/11 museum spokesperson said. the museum is a nonprofit that does not receive any federal, state or city funding for its operations. our organization relies on private fund-raising, gracious donations and revenues from ticketing and carefully selected keepsake
items for retail. many of our guests from the 9/11 community visited the shop and purchased a keepsake from their historic experience. i should point out as well on top of that, it costs you $25 to get in. >> you know, i donated to the museum my artifacts that are in the post-9/11 section of the museum but nobody told me about this. if they would have told me about this, i would have had reservations about going. i was surprised as everybody when i saw this. >> john feal, thank you very much. what do you think about that? appropriate or not? e-mail us at friends friends.com. meanwhile, important information for you and your pet. the danger lurking in some dog treats could be deadly. what to look for coming up. from foster care to the white house and then the nba, our next guest is living proof of the american dream. he joins us live with an inspirational story. good morning to you.

legislature, the congress, if they're going to change the laws, allow congress to do it but an arbitrary decision on his part to say i don't like the law the way it is and allow people who are here illegally to continue to victimize the american people is outrageous. i don't know of anybody in office, particularly the president of the united states, who wouldn't want law enforcement to have more tools to get these bad guys off our streets and out of our neighborhoods and out of our country. >> we're going to have to leave it there. these people have already broken the law by coming over our borders illegally. we're going to have to leave it there. a new study out this morning on the causes of autism says a highly publicized theory is totally wrong. the nfl ready to make it easier for players to smoke marijuana. is that the right message to send? a former patriots linebacker, sean stuckey, weighs in ahead. ♪ ♪ get all your favorites all day, everyday.

the nfl might be getting closer to loosening its policies when it comes to marijuana use. would that be sending the wrong message to their young fans? joining us is former new england patriots linebacker and sports attorney, sean stucky. good morning. what's the deal with the pot here and why an attempt to loosen the reins on marijuana use within the nfl. >> the nfl understands that they have a problem here.
they understand that public sentiment is changing, that the public is more acceptable to the use of marijuana, and the nfl is a capitalistic beast. they are driven by what public sentiment is demanding. if the public is demanding more violence, the nfl gave it more violence. when the public demand less violence, they gave it less violence. so the nfl understands that the public sentiment is changing and therefore, the rules need to be changed to reflect that. >> as far as public sentiment is concerned, i think most parents here would think this is unsettling to think that the nfl is going to open the door for more pot use. the reins are pretty loose. you don't have a first-time use penalty where you're suspended. you just go into a program. i think parents would be concerned that this is something that is opening up in the nfl. no? >> this is something that i'm sensitive to. i understand the public
sentiment or maybe it's not a widespread sentiment, but i understand the sentiment that if you allow nfl players to use marijuana that you're going to find a bunch of kids out there using it as well. particularly sensitive to this issue because i come from a family where six out of such of my aunts and uncles were addicted to crack cocaine, including my mother who was addict to do a couple years and addicted from the time i was 12 years old. so i understand that. and however, i was also a high school teacher where i taught young teen-agers. i am intimately aware of what the teen-agers are influenced and not influenced by. the nfl changing its policy towards marijuana would not influence these teen-agers. let me give you an example. if the nfl were to immediately ban the use of all alcohol among all football players, you would not find a widespread cessation
of alcohol use among teen-agers. >> perhaps. i think your story is fascinating and you have a unique perspective. i think the concern is hey, how can you say we're working on brain health and let more pot be used? the kid death bait is certain -- debate is certainly there. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. coming up, call it a commencement smack down. replacement speaker lashes out against the students graduating, calling them arrogant and immature. it may be the happiest place on earth, but it will cost a lot more to go to disney. we'll talk about that and a whole lot more just ahead

>> yep. find out all about the grow a pair dictum coming up in just a bit. look who is with us today. >> glad to be here. >> we always see waving behind the window. >> every morning i come in and i wave to elisabeth in the morning. >> i never see you. you're not waving to me. >> i'm waving to her. >> i give him a wave back. just like that. good morning. great to have you here. >> good to be here. >> always steve, too. the nightmare of the release of the v. continues to get worse. we can not wake up from this horrific dream. it's been going on for a long time. now a new state is being exposed for this life-taking scandalous handling of veteranshealth. albuquerque, new mexico, destroying records in fear they are going to have their situation looked at a little too
closely. the v.a. apparently settled 167 medical delay cases dating back to 2001 totaling $34 million. veterans have been waiting for treatment with heart and brain issues and have been waiting eight months, steve? >> something like that. right now in albuquerque, there is an eight-month waiting period to get ultrasound of hearts. some patients have obviously died before they got around to seeing the doctor. i saw an e-mail from a vet a moment ago and he said look, okay. shinseki, i don't really care whether he stays or goes, it's a big problem. a major part -- keep in mind, these are people who die on waiting lists. the reason we have the waiting lists is because in the v.a., just like in a corporation, there are bonuses. and if you look good to the front office, you're going to get a bonus. the bonuses are tied to the short waiting times. dan is the national commander of
the american legion. he says if this were a regular ceo, gone. >> we need the white house, the president to come forward. he needs to make a statement to show the employees of v.a. that this needs to change now. one death is tragic, but when you hide it, that's unforgivable. it's got to start at the top. it's accountability. if it was the ceo, we've heard many ceo's lately of major corporations stepping down. if this was the military, you would be relieved of duty. >> that's right. if this was a football teen-ager the coach would be fired. if it was a ceo, you'd be removed. here is something very interesting. a lot of people are talking about this in social media. this is a big bureaucratic government-run health care system. sound familiar? what's obamacare going to be. multiples of the v.a., multiples
in size, multiples of bureaucratic nightmares. listen, whether you believe it or not, sarah palin and a couple other people on the right said there will be people deciding who gets what treatment and when and that's going to put long waiting lines on certain types of treatment while the v.a. is improving that right now. look, you said something so important. these are our heros. these are our military people coming back. they shoot have to put their -- shouldn't have to put their lives on the line over here. >> to put them back on some sort of back list that then disappears is horrific enough. but then to conceal that and hide that as some of these records are showing issues some of the whistle blowers are indicating, is even worse. >> yeah. let's take you out to fort collins, colorado. lisa lee, currently serving in the u.s. military, she's in the navy. she went forward to the v.a. and she said there is a terrible problem here with this where they're cook the books.
-- cooking the books. she wound up with a two-week suspension. she refused to hide the wait times. so she's blowing the lid of things in fort collins. what's interesting is after she became a whistle blower, the v.a. tried to buy her off. they came to her and said, listen, we'll get rid of that two-week suspension thing, your record will be clean as a whistle blower, but you got to stop with the whistle blowerring. okay? she said no. absolutely not. this is a scandal. people need to know. i've got to stand on principle. she's not backing down and she doesn't like the idea of returning to the v.a. because her experience has been that it is, quote, a snake pit. >> the bottom line here is people aren't getting treatment. our heros aren't getting treatment because there is not enough money. with all -- >> there is enough money. it's spent badly. >> right. we overspend our budget by a trillion dollars a year, maybe $600 billion a year this year and supposed to be good. how about spending some money on these people?
how about instead of worrying about healthcare.gov, spending millions on that, fix this? it's a matter of hiring enough people to fix this problem. that's all it is. these people deserve it. >> it's been happening for a long time. this is nothing that's just come to surface. the administration and white house has known about this for quite a long time. shinseki still in place and the president is confident he can fix this problem. >> we haven't heard from the president in three weeks about this, extraordinarily. heather nauert joins us again. good morning. >> good morning. let's start out on the west coast. the drought there has been a real problem all season long. the governor of california is saying this could be the worst ever wildfire season according to jerry brown. crews in san diego county finally gain control of nearly one dozen fires. those fires destroyed nearly 50 homes and caused around $20 million worth of damages. governor brown says the state has set aside nearly
$600 million to fight wildfires this season. he worries that may not be enough money to deal with the problem. there have already been more than 1500 fire this is year, compared to 800 on average. it has been a depaid for decades burks australian researchers say there is no link between autism and vaccinations. they looked at ten international studies that involved one million children and found that kids who received vaccinations, including tetanus, whooping cough, measles,mmr were not at a higher risk of being diagnosed with autism. doctors hope the study will reassure parents and they will get their kids vaccinated. a massive merger to tell you about in the media. at & t buying direct tv in a deal worth nearly $50 billion perform aprovenned, it will give at & t more subscribers and content like the nfl sunday games and that means you can get football on your phone, tablet and even in your car.

decided not to go speak at rutgers because there was a student protest. at haverford there was a protest where 40 students and three professors didn't like the way that the guy they had invited, robert bergerow, how he handled a student protest. >> right. so then the new speaker actually came in, former princeton university president. he said this. >> in my view, they should be encouraged to come and engage in serious discussion. not to turn tail between his legs to respond to an indictment that a self chosen jury had chosen. i think he should be with us today. >> he comes in as a pinch hitter for the speech and decides to go into the students and say look, this was uncalled for. there should have been a discussion here. >> a lot of times the students aren't to blame. there's a committee that chooses these speakers and frankly, it's
pretty fairly liberal, left wing leaning. >> you think? >> yeah. and so things like condy rice happens. the rutgers decides they want to ask her to speak and all of a sudden, this group, these group of 50 or so out of 44,000 rutgers students complain and then they cave. >> led by professors. >> led by professors. and the group caves. remember the woman that was going to speak at another university, exposing some of the atrocities that muslim women are going through and a group of liberals said don't let her speak and she was asked not to speak. there is more and more activism going on in the college -- let these kids graduate. just let them get out into the world and enjoy their last day of college. >> yeah. college kids, you're going to hear opposing viewpoints later on in your real life. the problem is, there are all these lefties who only want voices that they agree with. so afterwards, this particular guy who did the speech, he said that the students were -- the
protesters were immature and arrogant. he went in and he wound up getting a standing ovation. >> he actually did. sort of giving them a little redirection before they direct themselves out. coming up, more controversy at the 9-11 museum. what's in the gift shop that has family members absolutely disgusted? >> and who is really waging a war on women? we're going to ask the woman who wants to be the first ever female senator from the great state of west virginia. she joins us live next. ♪ ♪ those litt things still get you.

this award for that day was my good friend, specialist kane shilling was there and i was able to apply some of that first aid that it's been pounded in our head every day. i was able to stop some of his bleeding. >> part of the story that is extraordinary is the fact that amid the four hours, you were knocked out by an rpg. you were out cold. you wake up, you wind up running toward the guys shooting at you. >> yeah. it was right after that opening initial ambush, i fired my first magazine, reloaded, and it was lights out. then i didn't find out 'til days later after talking to kane shilling that it was an rpg hit basically right hyped my -- behind my head. >> when you see yourself with this honor and medal, what do you think? >> i think i'm provided an opportunity to get the names of those that were killed that day out for the world to know

first with delays. i saw a pattern of three to six months wait in the evaluation for primary care and specialist appointments. i saw a case of a five-month surgical delay for a six inch hernia. three months for eye tests. six months for glasses. eight months for heart stress tests. really an incredible pattern of abuse. >> looking through them as well, you analyzed it and it's clear imcompetence is at play. >> there is a level of imcompetence that's been alleged in 325 e-mails. overcrowded emergency rooms and a massive failure to evaluate and treat ptsd and traumatic brain injury. instances including blood sugar strip rationing. you can only have two a week. and reliance on pain killers as a substitute for treatment. let's give you opiates. let's give you pain killers instead of defining what was going on. also treatment hindered by doctors' english language skills.
injuries from death from cancer and heart disease due to delays, staggering. >> no kidding. we told earlier about a new story about how in fort collins, colorado, there was a whistle blower. she couldn't take it anymore, and she came out. she was smacked around, suspended for a couple of weeks and that's one of the other problems. you noticed a lot of abuse. >> absolutely compelling. the people that wrote to me, the veterans and families, there is a fear of retaliation. there is a fear of arrest after complaints. there is a fear about being thrown out of the system. also paying out of pocket with their own dollars to private physicians for care that should have been provided by the v.a. we also found that the office of the inspector general, does not by their own admission investigate every complaint. so veterans can send them complaints like these and not have them investigated because they don't deem them to be serious enough. >> you analyzed them and also read them. they're heart breaking. >> there is a few that are
interesting. from william, i'm a three-tour army vet. i use the v.a. for the few things i earned. i've been struck by nine ied's and suffer from ptsd and tbi. on my last trip for a psych appointment, my psychologist told me i only had three appointments left. she told me i was limited to six mental health visits and i may want to stretch out my appointments a little farther between visits. >> we also got an e-mail from alan who is a father of a veteran. he writes, every time my son needs an appointment because of his ptsd or any other issue, he can't get an appointment until one to three months for help. because of this, he gets aggravated and gave up on seeking v.a. health care. i see him suffer. we can not afford to have him seen by nonv.a. medical professionals. >> from nancy, a veteran's sister-in-law, i want you to look into my brother-in-law's death on february 7, 2014 of a
heart attack. he had been trying to get into his primary care doctor at houma, arizona for over three months because of chess pains and shortness of breath. my sister called at least once a week to get him seen. his death was caused by the v.a.'s inattention. please stand up for our american heros. that's exactly what we try and we will be doing as the weeks go on. we have an effort going on here at "fox & friends" to save our vets. and we need your help. e-mail me or write here at the fox news channel. we intend to share these with the congress. we intend to share these with the office of the inspector general and the highest levels at the v.a. we want results. this is absolutely unsatisfactory and unamerican. >> absolutely. i'm sure a lot of people at home have come up against these problems in the past. they feel frustrated. this is their chance to get the story out. >> coming up at 8:15, you'll interview one doctor who wrote in to us to share her first
experience with mismanagement and inadequate care, psychiatric patients on the verge of suicide, not having the care that they needed. >> absolutely. she's coming up. once again, if you have an e-mail you want to send to peter johnson, jr., send it in. >> thank you. coming up, concussions are a silent injury. so how do you know when your kid has had one and what do you do? the simple advice every parent needs to know coming up. first, on this date in 1981, kim karnes had the number one song in america. she had those betty davis eyes. ♪ ♪ good job!

welcome back. the answer to today's trivia question, pete townsend, congratulations to bob and mary ann from pennsylvania. you are going to receive a copy of brian kilmeade's book "george washington's secret six." enjoy. undeniable, spring sports have sprung. soon summer athletics will kick in, that also means injuries and a major one everyone is talking about, concussions. there are more than 300,000 sports-related concussions each year and emergency room visits for kids with sports concussions has gone up 60% in the past decade. one problem is that parents don't know how to help their kids heal properly after having one. joining us with some advice, dr. cohen of the headache institute, adolescent headache center and a neurologist at st. louis' roosevelt hospital center. thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having me.
>> having had a concussion myself, i know it takes a little time to heal and there are things you can actually do to help and things that do that hurt. we're seeing an increase, though. are we just having kids that are hurt more often or just paying more attention? >> one thing that's been really beneficial in the past couple years is there has been a lot more awareness about concussions in the media, the work the nfl has done to increase awareness about concussion. and especially a lot of schools and school districts are imposing new legislation and regulation which will help protect kids better. >> so we want kids to still have fun but want to know what to do if they get hurt. if you believe they have a concussion, what do you do to help them heal? >> the best thing is what we call mental rest. we want to protect the brain in its time of healing. some things we recommend is one, no screen time immediately following the concussion while the symptoms are severe. as symptoms improve, you want to slowly reintroduce that screen time. that is computers, iphones, tablets, anything like that. >> you're not making any friends with the kid community right
now. may not admit they have a concussion after hearing that. but that makes a huge difference. >> it can make it harder for the pain to heal. all that attention. we also want to provide other mental rest. don't try to do anything that's too taxing. for kids we recommend they're out of school for a few days as the symptoms are most severe, then slowly reintroduce school. keep them out of tests for a while and other things like that. >> okay. don't rush back into physical activity. >> absolutely. do no physical activity at first. then you can slowly introduce maybe small walking. get back to physical activity only after the symptoms of a concussion resolved completely. >> another one you say is avoid balancing your checkbook. don't do anything too taxing. anything that could have a severe effect that you get wrong. >> absolutely. it really is a difficult time as far as cognition. it's difficult to think or concentration in the setting of a concussion, but we know resting from those activities will help the brain heal faster.
>> it's hard. i had one. it's hard to dial back the expectation when it comes to having fun socially and what's expected in terms of work. so for kids, is this doable? >> most people will heal from a concussion within one to two weeks of the head injury. we're just asking for a short period of time. let that brain heal. one of the risk factors for having another concussion is having had one. so the more you get your brain to heal, the better chance you have of not having one in the future. >> thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> coming up this morning, the v.a. scandal getting even worse with another hospital added to the scandal. so what is the white house doing? bret baier top of the hour on that. then a student phoned it all in last year. skipping out on her classes. but one phone call sealed the deal. we're going to talk to her aseba]

good morning. today is monday, may 19. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a brand-new whistle blower with brand-new allegations of veterans denied treatment by the v.a. the hospital tried to silence her, but she's speak out exclusively on "fox & friends" this hour. chris christie sounding off, slamming president obama on his failure to lead and his lack of support for israel. bret baier reacts to the governor's comments. bret is live in dc. and controversy at the 9-11 museum. what's in the gift shop that has family members disgusted? would you buy these souvenirs? mornings are better with
friends. used to saying, starts right now. >> go ahead. >> hour three starts right now. >> ladies and gentlemen, eric bolling in for brian kilmeade. eric is on at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on "the five": what's the show after that? >> there is a secret thing happening at noon that no one is supposed to know about. >> oh, you -- no, i'm talking about what show is after you. >> the bret baier show. >> segueway to our guest. >> i got you. >> that was easy. >> best lead in television. >> that's really cool. thank you very much. >> you want to fire back, bret? >> no. i'll leave it there. eric's got it covered. >> we're all good. >> i got a feeling tonight you're probably going to lead with the v.a. again, at least 100 dead, delay in treatment, according to the dayton daily news. also there is a whistle blower who has come out in albuquerque
who says that v.a. officials are destroying records left and right to cover their tracks. and that vets with heart conditions, gangrene, they're put on a list and they have to wait for months. >> it seems to be gaining momentum as these individual v.a. hospitals come up with more allegations. the dayton daily news article over the weekend based on a request for data, really was quite something in that the number was 167 deaths over the past -- since 2001 really, tide to a delay in treatment, according to the data. and that the veterans affairs office had paid out some $37 million in settlements based on that delay. there is another request getting attention this morning and that's from the washington times which says that v.a. officials briefed the transition team, the observe observe-biden transition team as they were coming into
office in 2009, saying that the wait times were not really what they were and that the computer system was essentially completely faulty. so while this all does go back years and years and people say these problems have been around for a while, what happened from 2009 forward is obviously of concern up on capitol hill. both democrats and republicans calling for increased investigations. >> sure. many calling for the resignation an eric shinseki to step down, though the white house says he's still the guy to handle the guy. under the secretary at the v.a. there, he said he was going to resign, he was actually forced to resign 'cause they're mad as hell. yet he already announced he was set to retire over a year ago. this sort of reaction from the white house here doesn't seem to be matching what's being uncovered across the nation. veterans here left to die on these waiting lists? >> yeah. it's emotional, emotional issue.
you're right, dr. petsle was scheduled to retire anyway. in fact, the white house had named a potential replacement already from the illinois v.a. hospital. it was billed friday afternoon late as the white house press briefing, after people had talked about it as kind of a resignation that came as a result of all of this scrutiny. but he was scheduled to step down already and there are a loft republicans saying this doesn't mean a lot. >> bret, chief of staff, dennis mcdonough said the president is madder than hell. but think about this while you listen to this, how mad can the president be if we haven't heard from this man, no press conference in three weeks? take a listen to the chief of staff, mcdonough. >> the president is madder than hell and i've got the scars to prove it given the briefings that i've given the president, the conversations that he and rick and i have had on these
matters. the president is demanding we get to the bottom of the exact allegations you're talking about as relates to whether veterans are getting the timely access to care that they have earned, that they deserve. that's exactly what we're digging into. >> so bret, no press conference. elisabeth points out disingenuous retirement. how mad account president be? >> as chief of staff says he's trying to really get to the bottom of this. i think one of the things the white house tried to do is not get ahead of where the investigation was going. but i think that it is getting past that point. you're right, eric. these things are taking on a life of their own across the country. it is important in context to realize that the v.a. treats some 85 million visits per year. so it's a massive system. it has had problems for quite some time. but what has been done in recent years is really the focus of a lot of the talk up on capitol hill. >> sure. let's talk a little bit about
what happened here in new york city last night. chris christie, who is the governor of the great state of new jersey where i live, he was speaking to the champions of jewish values international awards gala and he really took some swipes at the current commander in chief. at one point he said, once you draw a line, you enforce it. he also said this about our president. >> we will either lead or disappoint. those are the only two choices. unfortunately today in my opinion, america is disappointing. but it's not too late. test time for us to stand up once again and lead our nation in a way that leads to us greater success and prosperity and lead the world towards greater liberty, freedom, prosperity and respect for human life. >> all right. so there he is last night here in new york city. rick perry also in attendance. this is a high profile event.
>> it is. governor christie to focus on something other than what he's been focused on, tealing with these questions for the past months about the bridge scandal. now, this was very pointed and the red line line is one that republicans think is very -- can lead to a lot of questions about the president's leadership, about the red line in syria obviously he's talking about. but there are other red lines. for example, crimea in ukraine and others. so christie is attacking that. whether that's enough to change his course as potential presidential material, we'll see. obviously the line is very popular. >> sure. he was also talking about how much the united states needs to support israel, one of our greatest allies. we're going to be watching after "the five." >> adjacent to. >> thank you. >> have a great day. all right.
>> always great to see heather nauert here. >> good morning. >> in a bright yellow. >> we're look springy this morning. i've got some news to bring you. this involves the mers virus. the search is on for more people who may have come in contact with the first mers patient in the united states. this after the third case has been announced by the cdc. officials believe that an illinois man likely contracted the disease from a man in indiana who became infected with mers while working in health care in saudi arabia. the latest person to be infected didn't get sick and has not been hospitalized. a good thing. nevertheless, health workers are testing anyone who may have come in contact with him. a massive merger to tell you about this morning in the media industry. at & t buying direct tv in a deal worth nearly $50 billion. if it's approved by u.s. regulators, it will give at & t more subscribers and content like the nfl sunday ticket, which means live football games on your phone, tablet and in
your car. the deal would make it the country's number two television provider. no word how that will impact prices for consumers. here in new york, its aim is to tell the story of one of the darkest days in our nation's history. but new york's new 9-11 museum is opening this week, but that gift shop there is causing a lot of controversy. the memorial museum are now defending opening a gift shop, saying that it is a nonprofit, so it relies on revenue. but others say this is distasteful and disrespectful, including the guest we had on earlier this morning, who was one of the demolition supervisors at ground zero. listen to this. >> a lot of people are looking for closure and going through this museum might have been that answer for them to start the healing process. you just added salt to a wound that hasn't closed in 13 years. >> here is part of the problem, you can purchase christmas ornaments, tote bags, stuffed animals and some say it's tacky

center in west virginia and she joins us in a "fox & friends" exclusive. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i know your experience at the v.a. was back in 2009 and you were frustrated. you didn't know where to turn. it wasn't until you heard peter johnson, jr. on this program on friday say we want to hear your story that you came forward, right? >> yes. that's exactly right because i know there is a lot of doctors who experience this kind of frustration in the v.a. system. >> let's talk about your frustration. you're a psychiatrist. you would see these guys coming back and after the initial consultation where you analyzed them, you would give them some antidepressant drugs and then you would tell them, come back in ten days. tell us what would happen and why that was important. >> i write the order. return to clinic, ten days, two weeks top. then i check for my patient and he's getting booked three weeks,
four weeks, it got to be months to see them in a second visit, which means they're partially treated, which means they're worse off than no treatment at all. so i would complain to the staff that's booking and they have their policies and procedures. that's controlled by administration. so i complained to administration. you can not partially treat people and then this is bad practice. it's doing harm. we had conversation going on, but nothing happened. more staff, i said? could we reach out into the community? could we limb the service and turn people away so at least they know that they're not being treated? it's more honest and maybe the media will get attention and we'll get some help. nothing. eventually they really stopped talking to me. so i was functionally silenced, but they kept booking them. i knew the suicides were inevitable, worse than if they hadn't been treated at all. >> because apparently once you would give them the antidepressant drugs, you wanted
to see them in ten days because those are very powerful drugs and you need to see them in ten days. if it's put off for months, that can have terrible consequences. >> right. yes. you're setting up for problems if you don't monitor them early in treatment. and monitor them early in treatment and then their bodies get well before their emotions get well. now you got angry, depressed veterans who are activated. that's where you get in trouble. but you can intervene and monitor and help them and then they get strong and stable, you're good. so you can treat them. i could have been able to treat them and couldn't. the administration -- it's dangerous. you think they'd listen. so i don't know. do they not take doctors seriously? do they talk to each other? i don't know. it's very frustrating to say the least. >> let me ask you about this.
there are stories out that on average, 22 vets commit suicide every day. that's close to one an hour. of the people you saw and you would say okay, come back in ten days and then they were put months off, how many of your patients committed suicide waiting to come off the waiting list? >> i was there briefly. less than two years. there were two. i was in a very tight-knit community. there was lots of extracurricular support, family, faith, vet centers. so we had help. but no thanks to the v.a., i'm sorry. i mean, these men were eventually going to need more than a visit every ten months. they need more than that. mental health care dollars are often short. psychiatrists are in high demand. the numbers are going up. it is a problem that is beyond the scope of the v.a., but the v.a. is particularly
handicapping being able to handle it because the bureaucracy is so heavy. the administrators are not adaptable and not nimble to meet these changing needs quickly enough to really help them. my veterans weren't left in a corner. they were seen, but they were partially treated. so that was a different kind of a problem than dr. foot's patients. but same thing. you're risking death. it's a fix-all problem. there is solutions. >> doctor, i understand you told our producer yesterday, if somebody gets put in jail, then these administrators will maybe fall in line. is that what it's going to take? were criminal activities going on? >> oh, yes. well, that's what we doctors talk about is the administrators, they can have very comfortable jobs and they don't really experience what the doctors and nurses are experiencing, which is the suffering and the pain and the deaths. so they go home at 5:00 o'clock
at night and if they enforce their regulation, they feel they've done their jobs and they don't have that fear of what's going to happen to the patients if they're so remote in these big bureaucracies, they become very remote. now, if they would finger these people who have committed crimes and prosecute them and incarcerate them, i think you're going to get a lot more information out of the ones who are now nervous about what's gog happen to them because they're not nervous about what's happening to the patients. >> no kidding. >> make them nervous about what's going to happen to them. >> let's see what happens because it's all messed up. doctor who worked at the v.a., thank you very much for joining us today to tell us your story. >> thank you for having me. thank you. by the way, calls and e-mail to the charleston, west virginia v.a. were not returned yesterday and we'd like to thank the doctor for coming on the show today and sharing. a big announcement this morning from the feds. why we're about to slap criminal
charges on china. and oh, baby, we have plenty of babies this morning. the best baby products, moms and dads need to survive in style.

he is really enjoying his time in the stroller. i see you're trying to go. the car seat pops in and out of this easily? >> easily. you pop the car seat in and you're good to go. and the car seat is great also because it has smart screen technology t. tells you you've installed it correctly. >> and who is this? isthey're modeling the boba wra. this is a really great, affordable pick for a baby carrier. under $40. it's a registry no brainer. and it's comfy and cozy, easy to wrap. you just need to know how to do it properly. and babies love it. >> you do love it. we're moving over here to the highchair now. >> we've got hunter. >> he has been so patient. you went through all of your cereal and now you're letting us see the inside. >> this is the spawn baby to booster. you can use this from six months to five years. after your child gets a little
bit older and he's outgrown the highchair, you take the tray off and move the footrest and you've got a booster chair. >> like a little restaurant seat. >> it's one buy that lasts a long time. >> good job, mom. so now this is an amazing little -- like a swing slide. >> this is a modern swing. it rocks more like a rock chair as opposed to a swinging chair. the babies feel that motion in their head more. there is five different speeds. so you can adjust it according to your baby's liking, his mood. and what parents love is you can hook up your iphone, cell phone and play your own play list instead of whatever the baby swing people tell you to play. >> perfect! god bless you. and are you having so much fun on this? >> this is on the -- this is a talking lote.
multi functional. right now it's a rocker. it can go back and forth. when he gets older, you can drop the wheels and use it as a walking toy. so you can ride on it and learn that walking motion that will help learn how it walk. >> i love a great toy that grows with them. >> it's got a seat at the bottom there. if you touch his ear, he'll talk and play music. >> i have to give a hand to all these sweet faces here and the patient mom and dads with them. there?k you and -- you want me good job. thank you so much for being with us. will have these products. have selfies jumped the shark tank yet? no. in fact, they just became official. we're going to explain. governor rick perry sending a letter to the president today. but he's here first to show us what is inside after we take these selfies and now more from last night's music awards. ♪

really meant for us to do is federal government to do a few things, do them very well and everything else action tax, regulatory, legal policies should be decided by the states rather than this one size fits all that we see out of washington, d.c. too often, which i think stymies innovation and growth. so the states competing with each other is the real key. >> i'm sorry. it's so unfair, though. you're cheating, governor. you don't have the state income tax. your regulations are lower, you're for cheaper energy. >> stop it already. >> how is california supposed to compete, or illinois? >> interestingly, we've seen illinois make some changes in their tax policy. the new new york ad that you've seen, i think all of those are because bobby jindal, rick scott or other governors have come into those states to compete for those businesses and give them some opportunities and give them some alternatives, if you will, to high tax, high regulation,
and legal system that allows for oversuing. >> why doesn't california jump in? you've been able to drop the unemployment rate to 5.2%. texas rated best state for business. what are they getting so wrong and you're getting right? >> well, we don't have that much time to really sit here and go through all the different things that -- but there is four that matter. it's tax structure, a regulatory climate. it's the legal system and it's the accountable public schools. so you have a skilled work force. when you look at those, california comes in almost dead last in every one of those categories when it comes to obviously taxes. new york and california have had more wealth per capita leave their states over the last decade than any other states in the nation. and they come to places like nevada or texas or arizona or -- rick scott is doing an extraordinary job in florida of really making that state be competitive. he's moved up to right below texas on a ceo magazine list.
>> he credits you for some of the things that he's done in florida. >> but the fact is, he and governors like nikki haley and john kasich up in ohio, they're really making a difference in those states and making those states be more competitive. so blue state governors need to be look over their shoulder. they need to be responding to these types of -- it's not a tax. this is just being competitive. it's like the jets and giants playing. i'm thinking they're both going to want to be competitive and win their game. then after it's over with, they go out and have a beer. >> speaking of want to go win the game, you would like the country to be more energy independent. you're writing a letter to the president of the united states that will be made public today. it says in part -- would you like to read it or should i? >> go ahead. >> it says, if adopted, the texas approach could create jobs, contribute billions of dollars to the economy, strengthen our energy security and make the united states a
global energy powerhouse today and for future generations. i encourage you, mr. president, to act quickly to free up these resources for families all across america. >> and i think that last sentence is the one that's really the most powerful one when you think about what's happened in the state of texas. the resurgence of the shell gas formations that have been explored and being able to use those resources and the job creation. maybe five years ago a young man in south texas, maybe newly married, maybe not had a job and today he's driving a truck in the eagle formation, that natural gas and oil formation that's just creating incredible amount of jobs, making over $100,000 a year. that can happen in southern new york. it can happen in california. it can happen in these states that have tax and regulatory problems. but it's going to take a president and those governors recognizing that the best thing
for their citizens is to allow for energy to be explored for in this country. >> there was a drill more, drill offshore, open up some of the lands that are held by the federal government. >> you can do it safely and thoughtfully. one of the things that i like to bring to people's attention, during the decade of the 2000s in texas, we lowered our nitrogen oxide levels. that's really cleaning up the air of real pollutants, and making a difference. we had 5 million people move into our state. so you can have energy security in north america with the xl pipeline, with what's happening in mexico and north america. we don't have to be held hostage by countries that may not have our best interest in mind by allowing that type of exploration for our natural resources in the state. that's the type of thoughtful economic and energy policy that this administration should be

fox urgent police announcing a short time ago human remains were found during the search for missing uva student, hannah graham. good evening, everyone. i'm julie banderas. this is the fox report. just a short time ago, police in virginia revealing a search team has found human remains that might be those of the 18-year-old college sophomore. hannah vanished on september 13 in charlottesville, virginia. a suspect in custody. the discovery was made in a public park just miles outside of charlottesville, virginia. police are now asking anyone familiar with the area for help. it is important to note the remains have not been identified. though hannah's parents have been. the weeks long search operation for hannah involved thousands of
volunteers and law enforcement officials. investigators say the body found today will now be taken to a forensic lab in richmond for positive identification. peter doocy has more from washington. peter, what comes next? >> reporter: as you just said, right now forensic experts in richmond, virginia's state capitol, are working hard. they're work quickly to try to figure out if those human remains found today are a match for hannah graham who went missing 35 days ago exactly. we learned today that sadly, perhaps about ten miles away from the downtown mall restaurant that captured the last known images of hannah graham, a search team from the chesterfield county sheriff's department found some human remains in an abandoned property, just before noon today. we don't know much about what they found, but the sheriff did feel the need to notify hannah graham's parents about the discovery, which they did. on the investigative side, preserving evidence now becomes the key and despite a lack of
positive i.d. so far, the sadness in the police chief's voice today that we heard really does suggest that he is fearing the worst. the chief also said that he thinks all those hours of searching may have finally proven their worth. julie. >> so will the search continue until they make a positive identification? >> reporter: doesn't sound like it. a few minutes ago we got an e-mail from officials down there who said a search planned for tomorrow morning in the general area where these remains were found has now been canceled and when we listened to the investigators today and the authorities, they weren't really talking about anything in the future other than making a positive identification. instead they were really looking back saying thank you to everyone who spent countless hours for what they describe as an unprecedented effort there. listen. >> i want to thank everyone who gave up their days, their nights, their weekends, people who called and wrote and dropped
good wishes and words of encouragement to the search crews to the detectives that have worked so hard in this investigation. i want to thank all of those people because today would not have been possible if not for their prayers, their encouragement and help. >> reporter: the suspect in this case, jesse matthew, is still being held without bond charged with abduction with intent to defile. as far as we know based on updates from prosecutors, he has not been cooperating. he has not been talking. so now investigators want to hear from anybody who may have seen this suspect, jesse matthew, in the general area where these remains were found this morning, late this morning, as the story may be nearing a very sad end not only for the graham family, but also for the entire university of virginia community. back to you. >> all right. peter doocy, thank you so much. turning now to ebola. we are awaiting the release of new guidelines from the center for disease control covering just how our nation's hospitals and health care workers are to handle ebola infected patients.
this comes in response to what has been a series of missteps in treating an ebola patient in dallas, texas that eventually led to two nurses becoming infected. word out of ohio tonight that health officials are now monitoring more than 100 people who had contact with the dallas nurse, amber vinson. many of them, passengers with her on a frontier airlines flight from dallas to cleveland. so far none of those being monitored have showed any signs or symptoms. and nina pham, another dallas nurse infected with ebola, is said to be in fair condition tonight at the nih hospital in maryland. her condition was downgraded yesterday. aleash i can't acuna begins our coverage in dallas. a carnival cruise ship we understand is carrying a dallas medical worker who is currentsly under self-quarantine. when is that ship expected back in texas? >> reporter: yes. the carnival magic is expected
very early tomorrow morning in galveston, texas. really the only port where it is welcome at this point. this after being denied entry into cozumel and belize. the ship cut its trip short and headed back to dock in texas. belize denied the request to allow the passenger on this ship to fly home from its airport. the man now in quarantine in this cabin since it was discovered he was a lab technician who handled some of duncan's samples. he is showing no signs of symptoms. and neither are a full host of other people who the county of dallas says has been calling in concerned they have either been exposed to ebola or may have contracted the virus. dallas county judge clay jenkins said out to reassure the community and the region that not only are they more prepared now should there be another diagnosis, but that when that 21-day quarantine that those close to duncan have been in expires tomorrow, the public is safe. >> for the 38 years that we've been looking at ebola and
tracking ebola and the world health organization and cdc are there for every outbreak, they've never had any case where someone showed symptoms later than 21 days. it's probably well later than -- well before 21 days, but that 21-day period is based on over 38 years, nobody started showing symptoms on the 22nd day. >> reporter: and julie, judge jenkins also pointed out that we're at a critical point this weekend in the time line of ebola, meaning that should we get no more diagnoses, no more cases this weekend, it's a pretty good sign. >> the area of ohio where amber vinson traveled is on alert tonight, i understand as well? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. that's because amber vinson flew to and from cleveland around the time that she was starting to experience symptoms and right before she was diagnosed with
ebola. so steps are being taken in northeast ohio to calm fears of spread. that means for the governor, meeting with local health department leaders, cdc officials and medical providers and that happened today. after that officials let the public know that first responders are getting training. schools where kids had contact with vinson or houston other flight were closed, some businesses doing the same. all of this authorities say is a lesson in the making. >> one of the things that's been very beneficial for us doing that is as we are bringing our personnel down, we're getting feedback from them as it relates to these protocols. one of the things that i think that we have consistently reminded everybody is that this is an ever evolving, ever changing scenario. so gathering that information from our personnel is allowing us then to update our protocols as it relates to their operational experiences with these protocols that we're implementing. because of that, we will continue to tweak those protocols as we go forward. >> reporter: julie, this has
prompted states all over the country to really take a hard look at their own plans of what they would do in the event of an outbreak and they are all making adjustments. >> alicia, thank you so much. family and friends gathering today to remember the only person here in the united states to die from ebola. the crowd filling a church in north carolina where the mother, sister and nephew of thomas eric duncan worship. the 42-year-old died at a dallas hospital back on october 8 after contracting the virus in liberia. he didn't show symptoms until after returning to the u.s. people who have had contact with duncan are still being monitored. screening for potential ebola cases expanding in europe. airline passengers arriving in paris from guinea all had their temperatures taken after getting off the plane. we are told everyone on that flight was fine and then allowed to enter france. guinea is one of the three west african nations hardest hit by
ebola. so far no confirmed cases have been reported in france. and in washington, fox news has spotted the new so-called ebola czar at the white house along with vice president joe biden and white house chief of staff dennis mcdonough. no word on if there was any sort of meeting scheduled. the new ebola dollar is ron klain, former chief of staff to joe biden and al gore. he's also an experienced attorney touted for his management skills. but some lawmakers are criticizing the president's choice. namely because of what mr. klain lacks, any type of medical background. so we want to hear from you. do you believe the u.s. needed a czar to handle the ebola response in the first place? what to you think of the president's pick? tweet me, we're going to try to read some of your answers later on in the program. the u.s. working closely with kurdish fighters to drive isis out of the syrian border town of kobani for good. increased air strikes appear to be working. the islamic militants reportedly

as we watched all week, u.s. air strikes continued, one contact telling us that one targeted isis right where the two sides were fighting. it began a sign of a close coordination between the united states and some very brave kurdish fighters in that town. reports two of isis shells landing on the turkey side of the border and a turkish tank firing back. no confirmation where those shells hit. turkey has been very reluctant to get into this fight. the latest wave of u.s. air strikes also hit other locations inside syria as well as in iraq. a clearer sign that isis is threatening on several fronts. >> thank you so much. meanwhile, a somber day for family and friends of james foley. an american journalist beheaded by isis. ♪ >> mourners gathered for a memorial service in new hampshire on what would have

causing confusion just a few weeks before the mid terms. specifically in texas, their voter i.d. law received heavy criticism for its restrictions including the much mocked rule that made concealed hand gun licenses acceptable i.d., but not college i.d.s. while the supreme court said enforcement of the law could go ahead, justice ginsburg wrote a scathing saying the greatest threat to confidence in the election is the prospect of enforcing a purposely discriminatory law, one that likely imposes an unconstitutional poll tax and risk denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters. republicans have long held the law isn't discriminatory against minorities. >> the irony is we've already had two elections where voter i.d. was the law of the land and there wasn't any change in minority turnout. >> reporter: texas isn't the only state involved in this year's fight. arkansas supreme court overturned that state's voter i.d. law. north carolina and ohio have also been in court over their

the death toll continues to climb in what is being described as the worst hiking disaster in the himalayan nation of nepal. earlier today a rescue helicopter spotted nine more bodies on a hiking trail in a remote mountainous region. three survivors were air lifted to safety so far. 38 people have been confirmed dead bay series of snow storms and avalanches over the past week. and while hundreds of other hikers have been rescued, authorities fear dozens more remain trapped in isolated mountain huts. finding them might be difficult because of the rugged terrain. and in bermuda, it is being pummeled overnight by hurricane gonzalo. it brought winds of 110 miles per hour, left behind lots of property damage, flooded roads and 28,000 homes without power. hawaii appears to have escaped the full fury of hurricane ana. the storm passed just south of the islands this morning. but residents are still facing

sheriff search team has found human remains at an abandoned property. while the body has yet to be positively identified, investigators do say it could be that of the 18-year-old college sophomore. she vanished 35 days ago in charlottesville. police do have a suspect in custody, jesse matthew. he's being held without bond on charges of abduction. investigators say matthew is not cooperating. joining us now by phone, dr. baden, world renowned forensic pathologist and fox news contributor. dr. baden, thank you so much for talking to us. at this point the only charges that have been brought up against matthew are charges of abduction. i would imagine now that a body has discovereds, once it's positively i.d'd, those charges are likely to change? >> absolutely right. the police know this is hannah graham by this time. they know by the clothing. they know by dental identification which just takes a few minutes of comparing to
dental records, police would have automatically obtained from the family. the family dentist when she went missing. and but they don't want to release the definite until the medical examiner tomorrow morning says it's definite. they're doing a serial rapist. probable serial murderer. and at this time they're trying to get more information and finding the dead body gives them probable cause to change it from abduction to murder. >> you mentioned the serial rapist, possible serial murderer here. police have confirmed that matthew was also linked by forensic evidence to the morgan harrington case. she was a 20-year-old student at virginia tech. she went missing in 2009 after leaving a concert. her remains were found on a farm
three months later. no arrests were ever made in that case. that could change as well. >> yes. they had evidence, remember, when he skipped out and ran away, they developed evidence after going through his residence, of the car that he had been driving that connected him to other dead body and they didn't say what that evidence was. one of the things they have to look for is serial murderers often take trophies and keep them in their rooms or in their car and how the police have a lot more evidence that they will be able to release once a charge of murder comes up against mr. matthew. >> it's no coincidence that graham was last seen with matthew in downtown charlottesville on september 13. now the idea behind her remains
allegedly being found is the evidence and the physical evidence around her remains. at this point what are investigators going to be looking for? she was buried in a shallow grave. investigators have contacted hannah graham's parents. obviously they know it's her. they want to link her death to matthew. >> yeah. part of it is that if it turns out from all their investigations that she was last seen with matthew, that she was last seen with matthew and was not seen after it, and that she was wearing the same clothing that she's been identified by dental records, i think, one of the things i'd be concerned about is the initial police investigation of that area. supposedly there was an investigation in the area in which she was found and what
often comes up, these investigations, these searches for bodies are so difficult and so many places to look that it's easy to overlook somebody if they're in a small area and she's been partially buried. but i would suspect that she's been in that one spot since she went missing. >> what about dna on her body and her decomposed remains? does that make it difficult to tie her death to matthew? >> given 35 days or so, there should be no problem identifying her by her dna and that she was sexually assaulted in which there was saliva or semen deposited on the body, that that dna most probably will still be good. they'd be able to convict her by finding his dna on her in a sexual thing. not just by holding hands because that theoretically could be potential.
>> of course. always great to have your expertise, thank you so much. >> thank you. in an update on our other top story, health officials in ohio are monitoring more than 100 people who once had contact with dallas nurse amber vinson. many of them, passengers with her on a frontier airlines flight, from dallas to cleveland. so far none of those being monitored are showing any symptoms of ebola. a cruise ship carrying a dallas medical worker under self-quarantine expected to return to galveston, texas tomorrow after being denied permission to dock in mexico. the passenger handled ebola samples before leaving on the cruise, but so far showing no symptoms of the virus. all this as we await news from the centers for disease control in atlanta today. the agent expected to release and they said they would today -- new guidelines for how medical personnel will operate around the deadly disease. alicia acunia joins us now.
what should we expect from the cdc? >> reporter: this all revolves around the personal protective equipment. basically what the healthcare workers will wear when dealing with a patient who has ebola because what the cdc heard from health care workers was that there was some confusion over exactly what to wear, how to wear it and more importantly, how to remove it because as do you know, we heard from dr. frieden, the head of the cdc, that can be the most dangerous point for transmission in terms of what health care workers are exposed to when dealing with an ebola patient because they can touch secretions and it can get onto the outer layers of whatever they're wearing and then they can touch that. what they were finding is that healthcare workers were feeling more protected when they put three pairs of gloves on and put tape on and thought they were more protected, when that wasn't the case. what they're going to do is clarify and solidify these guidelines so that there is a broad base for everyone to go from, so every health care worker they're hoping in the
united states knows exactly what to do, how to put on this equipment, what to do and they might change some of the equipment so that it's very clear. so there is no confusion like what they saw here, the nurses here at texas presbyterian. >> as we await the cdc announcing these new guidelines as they have said they would today, we don't know the time frame at this point, what else is the dallas area in particular doing to prepare for more possible cases? >> reporter: they're doing quite a bit. when we heard from the judge here earlier, he explained that what they're also doing is trying to expand the pressure base essentially so that there are more people who can kind of pick up the pressure. so they have 50 medical experts who are going to be ready to go as go teams to go to any isolation unit in the region. they also have the university of texas medical branch in galveston that is ramping up to handle any medical waste because there is a tremendous amount of medical waste that comes when you're dealing with an ebola patient. so they're preparing in that
regard as well. they're also trying to just make sure that folks in the area know that they're going to be okay. that's really important for them because they're screening a lot of calls. as you know, we've been covering this since this all started. a lot of false alarms going off because people understandably are very concerned. so there is a lot of education going out in the community as well. >> the family of the only person in america to die from ebola now hours from being given the all clear after they were going to be -- or have been in quarantine, tell us about the family. >> reporter: sure. louise thoh, she has three sons. they've been in isolation in a secret place all of this time. at midnight tomorrow night going into monday, they will be released from that quarantine. they've been in quarantine for 21 days. and from what we're hearing from medical experts, the public really doesn't need to worry about their safety at this point. they have not shown any signs of
symptoms and as we get to the end of this weekend, it really is a critical time really for this whole area. because if we see no new areas, that's good sign for the dallas area that we haven't seen new cases. for this family in particular, it will be time for them to get back into their life. they will not return to the participate where they lived. they were planning on leaving anyway and dallas county has said they want to make this as easy a transition because this has been incredibly difficult on this family. >> all right. it sure has. thank you so much. the search now for a suspected cop killer is expanding after a woman reported seeing eric frien near the pennsylvania high school where he once attended classes. it's been more than five weeks since he allegedly ambushed state troopers, killing one and injuring another. investigators say they will not rest until frien is found. bryan llenas has more. it's shocking that it's been so long they've been searching for this guy. nigh sightings at all? >> reporter: we're talking about that sighting last night.
the woman was walking along the side of a road near the woods when she says she saw a man who police say was frien 15 to 20 feet away from her. >> individual description was consistent with frien and he was observed carrying a rifle. the individual's face was covered with mud and so a positive identification could not be made. >> reporter: the sighting happened in swift water, pennsylvania. just a few miles away from what happened this afternoon where staffers at the mount airy casino tell fox search teams were searching near the second hole of the golf course today after another possible sighting. that's two in 24 hours. meanwhile, blood has been found on two enclosed back porches. police are testing it to see if it's frien's. meantime, behavioral scientists are trying to figure out his next move. they say he could strike again if he gets a chance. remember, frien is described as a self-taught survivalist and expert rivalman and war reenactor with a grudge against
law enforcement. >> i understand the police are saying weather could hurt their finding him? >> it could actually help them because the search cost several million dollars. f.b.i. and atf searching the woods with the help of technology like thermal imagery. now police are confident that the changing weather will make it easier to spot him. >> the worst the weather is for him, the better it is for us. we believe that as the leaves go off trees, technology kicks in quite a bit more. aircraft become much more effective. >> reporter: so far police have found an ak 47 pipe bombs with trip wires and abandoned camp site and handwritten notes describing the night he allegedly shot two pennsylvania troopers, killing brian dixon and wound be douglas. douglas was released from the hospital on thursday. >> we are expecting chillier temperatures. possibly that could help them. thank you very much. kurdish militia getting help if their fight against isis from

story from the pentagon. >> reporter: an official confirmed to fox news he was killed, target of a air strike, a 24-year-old islam. he was a member of an elite group of al qaeda fighters and bomb makers that migrated to syria from bases in pakistan. u.s. war planes carried out the strikes using b-1 bombers, f-16 fighters and an mq-9 reaper drone. it launched missiles on a vehicle in which he was believed to be traveling. the only passenger is dead, the driver reportedly lost a leg and was expected to die as a result of his injuries. according to sources with knowledge of the operation. the vehicle was traveling in syria's idlib province, quote, this network was plotting to attack in europe or the homeland and we took decisive action to protect our interest and remove their capability to act.
we will continue to take any action necessary to disrupt attack plotting against u.s. interest. wednesday's attacks amount to only the second strike against the group since the start of the u.s. air campaign in syria. the first attack on september 22nd involving 47 tmissiles was left conclusive. >> i do not have anything to announce with respect to individual leaders, and whatever happened to them. >> french journalist that documented the radicalization say the young man from brittany traveled to egypt to learn arabic and went to pakistan fighting u.s. troops in afghanistan. >> french intelligence had sources at the end of the year 2013 that told them that there was this guy in waziristan that was about to go to syria and that he had been in waziristan
for three and a half years. >> that's where he learned to make bombs and dip clothes in explosives that could pass through airport detection. u.s. officials tell us the french bomb maker was the only individual targeted last night during the u.s. air strikes. bret? >> jennifer, thank you. security is tight and tensions are high tonight in r jerusalem. a surveillance was found near the city when a mini van slammed into a crowd and pal spin anyone motorist drove into a group of soldiers in the west bank. one of the first post election showdowns between the president and congressional republicans could come not on immigration but on iran. here is chief white house correspondent ed henry. >> reporter: president obama's promise to work with a new congress is getting a serious test after word he recently sent
a secret leader to the iran supreme lead tore discuer to di fighting isis signing off on a nuclear deal ahead of a november 24th deadline. >> i'm not in a position to talk about private correspondents. >> reporter: sparking john mccain to charge the letter first reported by the wall street journal says the white house is trying to prod iran to sign off on a nuclear agreement that lawmakers in both parties may find too lenient. >> it seems to be a dispir ration move to get a nuclear arm steal but great concern is the fact that apparently we are going to work with the iranians to defeat isis. we now are telling the free syrian army that we're working with the people who are major reasons why they have had so many of them slaughtered. i think it's unthinkable.
>> reporter: it was suggested he's still hopeful of preventing a nuclear arms race in the mideast with talks secretary of state john kerry will resume sunday. >> whether they can manage to say yes to what clearly would be better for iran, better for the region and better for the world is an open question. we'll find out over the next several weeks. >> reporter: at that same news conference, the president acre knowledged the u.s. is not yet winning against isis militants and republicans expressed alarm at the out reach to teheran. >> i don't trust the iranians. i don't think we need to bring them into this and i would hope the negotiations underway are serious but i have my doubts. >> reporter: the backlash showed for the talk of cooperation ahead of a bipartisan lunch that's coming friday, there are sharp differences on the foreign and domestic fronts with white house press secretary josh
earnest refusing to say whether the president will veto planned gop legislation to approve the pipeline adding to the tension for the second straight day white house officials appear to be in some denial about trying to claim the election results affirms the president's policies instead of reputuating them. >> i think there is ample data to indicate a lot of the policies that the president himself has advocated are strongly supported by those who participated in the election. >> now on iran, josh earnest told me key lawmakers were looped in but a senior republican told me about the letter and let me sanitize this, it really bleeps things up. >> we can fill in the blanks there. ed henry live, thank you. >> taking a break from politics, president obama awarded a medal to desen dencendants of a soldit died in the war. it was a battery against

a huge ruling late this afternoon on gay marriage. a court in cincinnati upheld gay marriage bans or restrictions in four states. the sixth u.s. circuit court of appeals ruled 2-1 in favor of the laws in ohio, michigan, kentucky and tennessee. the ruling increases the likelihood the u.s. supreme court will now take up this matter. congressional republicans are wasting no time in letting
president obama know what they want him to do and not do during the final two years of his term. the gop won the leverage to issue those requests slash demands with a stunning landslide capture of the u.s. senate, the fort fa case in the house and the pickup of several governors seats across the country tuesday night. mike emanuel on capital hill with a blunt house speaking speaker. >> reporter: fresh off tuesday's night's election to 249 members, the largest since 1930, house speaker john boehner fire add warning spot on president obama for immigration. >> i've made clear to the president that if he acts unilaterally on his own outside of his authority, he'll poison the well and there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this congress. it's as simple as that.
>> still josh earnest promised the president will do that. >> the question before him is should he take executive action that he believes would be good for the country? is the president going to take that action and the answer is yes, the president is going to take that action. >> boehner promised votes to repeal mr. obama's signature health care law. >> our job is ache to mamake th people's priorities our priority. i don't like obamacare, they don't like it. it's hurting the economy. >> the house passed that gathered dust in the democrat control the senate. >> we can act on the keystone pipeline, restore the 40-hour workweek that was gutted by obamacare and pass the hire more heroes act that would encourage our businesses to hire more of our veterans. and again, this is just a start. >> reporter: meanwhile, utah

really solid members. we've done a very good job of recruiting good candidates and we're going to have a good crop of good members. >> one major issue where congressional republicans believe a deal can get done is tax reform that would benefit a number of swing state gop senators up for reelection in 2016. bret? >> thank you. condoleezza rice has hash words for democrats she accuses of race baiting in several states during the midterm campaign. >> the idea that you would play such a card and try fear among minorities just because you disagree with republicans that they are somehow all racist, i find appalling, insulting and as a republican black woman from the south, i would say to them, really? is that really the argument that you're going to make in 2014? >> rice says that while america still has racial tensions, it has made enormous progress in race relations.

the good people of denton texas live on top of a huge reserve of natural gas potentially worth billions which to some people in the state makes it strange that that down wants to keep anyone from getting to it. >> reporter: denton, texas north of dallas looks like any other typical suburb in america, that is until you notice this. natural gas wells right next to schools, businesses and subdivisions. >> they can put them less than 200 feet from homes. that's our battle. >> reporter: more than 270 wells have popped up across the city because denton happens to sit on one of the largest natural gas reserves in the u.s. one of the ways to mine that precious natural resource is through hydraulic fracturing or fracking. it's when water, sand and chemicals are injected into the ground and the high pressure causes shale rock to crack
releasing the trapped natural gas. this process is controversial. it requires millions of gallons of water and some experts believe the chemicals are toxic raising environmental and health concerns. >> we've had headaches, nose bleeds. we kept the kids inside during the torment of the fracking and the flaring. >> reporter: but a recent study funded by the national science foundation and duke university found that poorly constructed wells are the problem, not fracking itself. researchers studied wells in texas and pennsylvania. they found the ones that were not installed and cemented properly were to blame for contaminating nearby wells. nearly 59% of voters supported a measure to ban fracking here. but the other 41% say the industry creates jobs and
infused some $30 million into the local economy and problems are not wide spread. >> we have a company that's doing a bad job, then don't let them drill anymore but don't ban or hurt everyone in the industry because of one situation or two. >> reporter: lawsuit haves been filed challenging the constitutionality of the measure. the texas oil and gas association represents some 5,000 energy companies and seeking an injection to stop enforcement of the ban. in a statement, the group says a ban denies many mineral interest owners the right to gain value from their property despite the state's public policy in favor of developing natural resources. now voters in parts of ohio and in california also passed similar referendums this week banning fracking in their communities. this as it plays out here in texas courts now. bret? >> casey segol live in dallas,

now some news from the political grapevine. as is always the case with election night, tuesday closed the book on campaign dramas and contentious plot lines that developed among candidates throughout the election season but one photograph snapped late tuesday night is worth, as they say, a thousand words. photograph er melissa little tok this picture following crist's defeat. a staffer removing that notorious fan, which all of america learned crist never leaves home without. a dispute over whether said fan was allowed made for some tense moments last month at a debate between crist and now reelected republican governor rick scott. parents of hundreds of elementary school students in california were sent into a panic mode recently when they received messages in their phones that their children were
missing from school. the press enterprise reports the recorded messages went out at 11:11 a.m. hours after the students should have arrived. officials at john adams elementary say it was a mistake, a message intended for a hand full of parents whose children were absent went out to every single parent instead. a correction was issued a short time later but not quickly enough for parents wondering what happened to their kids. one parent called it the longest eight minutes of my life. school officials say that they have taken steps to make sure it does not happen again. and finally, an egyptian bus driver cheated on his work drug test got quite a shock when the results came in. the bbc reports the man submitted his wife's urine instead of his own, but there was something he did not know about his wife when the test results came back, the man's boss gave him a chance to confess but when the driver insisted he had not cheated, he was told congratulations, you're
pregnant. let's take a look back tonight at how the main stream media covered the elections this week. why so many were so wrong about so much. in the blur of midterm media coverage, the maryland governor's race never got on the national radar. president obama campaigned for democratic lieutenant governor anthony brown heavily favored over republican businessman larry hogan. >> give it up for anthony brown. >> reporter: nate silver gave him a 94% chance of winning big but hogan beat brown by nearly five points under scoring a problem with polling in 2014. in the battle for the senate, most journalist and commentators missed the magnitude of the republican wave because the polls were so tight in many key contests. >> you can carve out a path for democrats that go through actually some red states like winning in alaska and georgia and kansas. there are ten senate races, some
of which are within the margin of error. these each and every one of these races is very, very close. >> reporter: and the coverage of those battle grounds kept going back to the numbers. >> i want to get right to the latest nbc news mayor's poll in georgia republican candidate david perdue is clinging to a four point lead 48-44. the surprise is how close many of these key races are, especially the battle for the senate. in north carolina democratic senator kay hagan is hanging on to a one-point lead in a tough race against republican state speaker. >> reporter: the narrative was that democrats still had a shot, then came tuesday night. >> in the all important iowa senate race, fox news can project joni ernst will beat bruce braley. >> looking at some numbers, it's clear the pollsters were giving too much credit. >> the media wrote off ed
gillespie of being way behind. >> no one can predict turnout. the problem is when journalist treat the surveys as gospel and turns out their fifth is misplaced. a warning from the speaker of the house to the president about going around congress. we'll get reaction to the all of that from the panel when we come back. 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.

. . the president, if he acts unilaterally on his own outside of his authority, he'll poison the well and there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this congress. it's as simple as that. when you play with matches, you take the risk of burning yourself, and he's going to burn
himself if he continues to go down this path. >> before the end of the year, we're going to take whatever lawful actions that i can take that i believe will improve the functioning of our immigration system but what i'm not going to do is just wait. i think it's fair to say that i've shown a lot of patience. >> well, the speaker of the house with a warning shot the president yesterday and then today the white house press secretary asked is the president going to take this action definitively? quote, the answer is yes, the president is going to take this executive action. let's bring in our panel. okay. ron, thoughts? >> i was thinking today when i was a kid, me and my two brothers all about the same age, our parents would get mad for fighting. stop fighting and swat us and send us to our room and the
first thing we would do when we got in the room is start fighting again, and it's exactly what happened this week. t it was clear. stop fighting and get something done. the constitutional head of the country deserves and got most blame but they want both parties to work together. look what is happening. they both have come out, the president insisting on taking the politically pushing his political nuclear button and republicans talking about repealing a law they know they can't repeal. >> obamacare. >> it's at its highest. >> around the edges they talk about common ground and saw it working together but you get to the heart of obamacare, immigration -- >> the president particular, i thought his news conference yesterday was beneath the office in a sense of pretending that this wasn't a shellacking and just giving lip service to common ground.
it was -- he said he heard the american people but clearly he has not. >> george? >> when the president does what he promises to do on immigration, there will be three separate questions. one, is it good policy he's put in place? >> does it serve justice to the american needs? intelligent people of goodwill will disagree with that. the second question, is it good civics and good government procedure to go around the legislative branch, the elected representative, the answer is clearly no. the third question is difficult. is it legal? will he be in the words of john boehner acting outside of his authority? congress for 40 years now has been leeching away transferring great discretionary powers to the exec sieve branch and they are going to find when they look at the laws they have written, that the president has astonishing authority, far too much but there and it's real. it's going to complicate this argument. >> i agree. charles. >> look, first of all i disagree. i don't think the message of
this election was get stuff done. i think the message that would be true, if it was an incumbent election. in fact, it was not. it was a repudiation of what the democrats are doing. stop doing that. it was at every level, house, senate, governorships and that is a very clear mistake of a message. what impresses it seems to me i arrogant attempt to the voice of the people. this was an unequivocal election. it was across the board. it was everywhere. i think it is very unconstitutional for a president to unilaterally suspend the enforcement of a huge part of extremely important law. immigration is sort of one of the basic elements of a country's solve eacountry solve earnty. i'm low on money so i'll let one
or two guys go because they aren't big fish. this is truly contradicting what the constitution says the president has to ensure the laws are executed and the other part of it is apart from the constitutionality is the constitutional decency. we have had verdict by the people of a kind that is quite unusual in american history and to go ahead and ignore it in spite of that, in spite of a rejection, in spite of repudiation to say i'll ignore the will of the people and do this regardless shows contempt for the system. >> what about speaker boehner, ron? you mentioned in obamacare he said there is going to be another repeal effort. we seen the house vote many times to do it. this time potentially if it gets through the senate, if it was scaled down, but then piecemeal he said taking apart the medical device tax, other elements of the law. >> i think there are some
elements that need to be fixed and could be fixed. i think the tax is one obvious one. it's a low-hanging fruit. when you talk about the mandate, the crux of the bill you talk about repealing the bill. going back to what charles said. this was no doubt a repudiation of the united states but not an affirmation of the republican party. six out of ten, including republicans have a dim view. 80% of the public said they are down on congress. >> they may have said that and felt it but they elected a whole lot of republicans. >> you know why? >> they have a choice between two evils. they voted for republicans and do not like what is happening in the city. >> but they gave a mandate to the lesser two levels. >> that is not a mandate. >> they said you are now in charge of the senate. you have a huge majority in the house and you have all these ownerships so now it's your responsibility. i'm not saying -- >> it's the responsibility of
the government -- >> that's what the gop has to do is to govern. it's not a mandate to just do stuff together. it's to enact what republicans believe ought to be done. >> obviously, they sent roberts back to the senate and send mitch mcconnell to the senate. it's not -- you're interpreting it -- >> somebody has to win an election. >> greg orman -- >> this is not an election in which, i don't think you're saying, but republicans should get what they want. this is an election they are ex many specting that t-- expectind republicans to work together to solve problems. it's not an affirmation like 2012 wasn't a mandate for president obama. >> george, this is the first election in american history in which the behavior of the senate majority leader coast-to-coast was an issue. and what they said was process
matters. americans very rarely vote on process questions but they did. they said there is something wrong when hundreds of bills are passed by the most democratic house legislature, the house of representatives and die in the senate. dignity of up or down mode. it does seem to me they said we want these things voted on and when they said stuff should get done and we want red lock broken, they were saying who the culprit was. >> you listened to the president and he said what i would like to do is hear from the republicans to find out what they would like to see happen and it's not a change because i suggested before that where there is areas of cooperation, i would like to get things done. that's what the president said even though it was harry reid who held a lot of bills. >> harry reid's desk or waste paper basket was where the bills of the house passed and went to die. i want one day to point.
in arkansas people asked whether your vote for senator was influenced, was a message about what should control the senate. the answer was yes 82%. it was a national election. it was made national. obama endures the nationalizing of the election when you said it's about our policies and it isn't just to get stuff done. it was let the gop propose now ocho bobama had six years. >> we can cherry pick and say in arkansas the same voters voted for minimum wage so maybe we should have a national minimum wage. i don't think that's what you're saying. i said the president of the united states after an election did not have a mandate and i think we all said at the time that the 2012 election did not mean that democrats should be able to get everything they want. i'm saying, i'm being consistent and saying the same thing tion. the public did not say one party should be able to get everything they want. >> they did say republicans ought to propose and put them in charge of the agenda.

syrian army that we are working with the people who are major reason ys they have had so many of them slaughtered? i think it's unconscionable. >> a not so secret letter now skugss working together to fight isis terrorists? where does this put the nuclear deal? we're back with the panel. george. >> both the iranian gentleman and senator are right. the war against terrorism conducted from jet aircraft is not a war against terrorism. it's make believe war against terrorism. the point is to get the islamic state out of iraq where no one believes you will get it out of fallujah and other places with aircraft. it's also correct as senator mccain said, we now have policy spaghetti it is so tangled up.
we are talking about we're going attack the islamic state using the vetted syrian moderates who are losing rapidly in syria because we have decided that we have other objectives that are more important than the fate of those people. what we have now is an uninintelligent policy. >> why would you trust the iranianss? at the risk of being proven wrong again, the president of the united states is doing what he said he would do. what he did here is not new. he has done it two or three other times. i suspect this was leaked by the administration so they could say hey we have done everything we can when this falls apart. there's a part of me that says, boy i like my government to do
everything it can to both leverage iran to fight isis and to try to strike a deal with them but i just don't have confidence. i just don't have confidence that this team, this president should be playing in a game that level. that they're capable. i haven't seen any sense even in domestic policy and a savvy deal maker. this scares me. there is a lot of ways this could go on in very big ways. >> at least the fourth letter that obama has written to the supreme leader in iran and not one of them has been directly responded to. you can see who the supplicant here. they watch the united states and the western powers month by month weakening the conditions
under which they will try to reach a deal. the most important of which is they have abolished the central idea of non-proliferation you start with no enrichment and then you talk about everything else. we have already conceded enrichment at the beginning of the current negotiations. this is going to end only badly with collapse of the talks or an agreement. it is not only congress that is being shut out. the uae, the saudis, of course the israelis, but the saudis are furious about our negotiation over their head with a mortal a mortal enemy.

better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take.
one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz. >> as we have heard the president is said to be frustrated and one channel says he has now found a way to express it. >> good evening my fellow americans. with me as always is my anger translater luther. >> what it do. >> as you know for the past six years, i received my fair share of criticism from the republican party. >> i can't even give malia of allowance without them accusing me of wealth redistribution. >> it's all part of rough and tumble politics. >> i hate you! >> some have cited my inability to make good on my campaign promise to close begguantanamo .
sunday." urgent and breaking news, the situation is getting too dangerous for some americans on the ground inside iraq. so now the u.s. state department says it will evacuate staffers at our u.s. embassy in baghdad as well as the u.s. consulate in ishi erbil. our citizens are being relocated. the state department is tressing, however, that both those diplomatic facilities will remain open with limited staff for now. the pentagon says u.s. aircraft have hit fresh targets from the air, with a lot of activity in the past 24 hours. these are weapons targets controlled by i.s.i.s., that's
been threatening the city of erbil. as i mentioned or consulate is there. that's a key air to know about, as we get reengaged it would away. erbil is controlled by kurdish fighters, home to the u.s. consulate that is open with limited staff, as i just talked about. that's here. about 77 miles away, so not too long of a distance away is mosul, iraq's second largest city. here and here, but those two areas, the enemy is controlling the area between and just outside of mosul. it has been the site of several air drops, u.s. trying to help thousands of meanwhile, we're trying to help them, because there's no war or food for them. these are new developments
coming out of baghdad. new records that iraqi forces, just in the last few minutes, royal to nuri al mall can i have just been deployed inside the green zone. we're not exactly sure why, we're trying to confirm. this may be an effort to prevent mall can i from being removed from power. he spoke to them just a short time ago. while the bloodshift is raging on. the united states alone has dropped more than 52,000 meals and thousands of gallons of water to thousands of people who are pleaing the carnage. i.s.i.s. has taken over iraq's largest christian territory. some christians are seeking shelter as the killers have given them a simple choice. you can die or convert to islam. wendell goler is traveling with
the patient at martha an vineyard. critics don't seem to like the way the fight is beginning. >> reporter: you're right, harris, but the president doesn't think it's our fight. he says it's up to the iraqiss, though the u.s. will hold out of i.s.i.s. mr. obama says his and protecting the tens of thousands of refugees on sinjar mountain until a corridor can be established, but some republicans want the u.s. to take the fight to i.s.i.s. and not just in iraq, but in syria as well. >> if he doesn't go on the offensive, they are coming here, this is just not about baghdad, this is not about syria. it's about our homeland. other critics called it pin
predicts. >> how is the white house responding? he says it would enable the shia majority to continue its bias which helped to fuel the rebellion in the first place. as you notice, at the start, malaki may have frustrated that, announcing he'll file suit against the country's president. mr. obama says there's a lesson here for afghanistan. >> whether it's, you know, different ethnicities, different regions, they have to accommodate each other. otherwise you start tipping back into old patterns of violence, and it doesn't matter how many u.s. troops are there if that happens. you end up having a mess.
>> the president says while the u.s. involvement won't be over soon, it also won't continue indefinitely. >> wendell goler, thank you very much. pope francis is calling for an end to the violence in iraq. he said the news in iraq leaves christians around the world in dismay and disbelief. he also expressed outrage house i.s.i.s. is manipulating their faith to target christians and other religious minorities. >> translator: all these facts seriously offend god and humanity. you cannot bring hate in the name of god. you cannot make war in the name of god. >> the pope also offered prayers for the violence in gaza. that's where we go next. right now israel and hamas are about two hours into a brand-new cease-fi cease-fire. both sides accepting egypt's proposal.
the israeli air force started 25 sites in gaza. it -- some remain skeptical after the breakdown of, rick levin that will, live in gaza city. any sign that this temporary truce will lead to anything more longlasting? >> harris, there have been reports that palestinians may be softening their stance on some key demands. but this doesn't stop hamas from launching rockets. wave after wave of rockets, leaving gaza toward israel, the attacks launched up into the midnight fire deadline with several rockets intercepted by the iron dome. the sirens, of course, were sounding in south and center
israel, just minutes better the cease-fire began at midnight. the talks we're told will resume in the morning. the blockade and loosening of the border restrictions, harris, also the key point would be a longer-term peace here in the middle east. >> and gaza paying a huge price for the hostilities by hamas. >> reporter: absolutely. we saw a number of air strikes throughout this day and this evening to our north as well as to our south. the palestinians report there were seven more people killed today, including a 14-year-old boy and 35-year-old woman. we're also told the body guard of a has ma leader was also killed today. there have been about 5,000 strikes since this conflict began over a month ago with nearly 2,000 dead, 9,000 wounded, and of course hundreds of thousands reported homeless because the construction is so widespread. some power is trickling back on
as they repair some of the sidelines that were damaged during the conflict. some of them being repaired, but most of gaza still in the dark. still not good running water, also sewage issues here, so they're hoping with the three days of peace they're expecting perhaps they can get more aid into the people that need it. >> rick levin that will, thank you. let's go to nascar. 9 death of a driver is under investigation. one of the racing ace biggest stars, tony stewart was at the wheel of the car that hit kevin ward jr. no evidence to support -- -- the race in upstate new york, the whole thing captured on video. stewart and ward apparently jockeying for position, when ward crashes into the wall. he then gets out of the car, walked straight out into the crowded racetrack. he looks angry here.
cars go screaming by. one almost hit him, then the moment of impact. the collision killed kevin ward jr. he was in his fifth season. leland vitter is her. it doesn't matter if you freeze it or not -- >> it's incredibly chilling to watch. one of the things, stewart's team said he would be racing today and just a couple hours before race time reversed their decision and the nascar decided to sit out obviously because of the department. the trash occurred on a dirt track. sprint car racing, this is amateur video of the event going on there. however, it shows what appears to be the car colliding with a car driven by kevin ward. stewart's car, there's ward's car there. ward gets out of his car and starts walking on the track. he appears to try to confront stewart as he comes around on the next lap. okay. right there you see it.
that's when stewart's car collides with ward, throwing him along the track. it was a terrible collision. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. >> there is no evidence in hand or no facts that would spore a criminal charge or support criminal intent on the part of anybody. >> an executive for the racing would not go into details today. >> my hearts obviously go out to kevin and his family, thoughts and prayers, this is an emotional time for everybody. >> a short statement was released in part -- there aren't words to describe the sadness i feel about the accident that took the life of kevin ward jr. it's a very emotional time for all involved and the reason i have decided not to participate in today's race at watkins glen that he was scheduled to.
the sheriff's department also asked for inible with amateur video to come forward, and going out of the way to say that stewart has fully cooperated, and at least according to the sheriff's office promised to continue to do so. >> a couple things jump out at me. i didn't think of this earlier, but now i want to know more about the cars. when you this i of the dirt track and these are more practice cars, these cars are still flies. >> some gets up to 120 miles an hour, almost like nascar's minor leagues. you have a lot of famous names who came up through these ranks, they only cost about $10,000 or $15,000 to get into, and if you notice some of the pictures of the car, they want a wing on top. they're going so fast, they need extra help to push down on the dirt track. >> and i understand it's a short track, to get the carts to slow down if something is in the middle of the track like a human being will be different to do anyway. >> that was the original crash that happened.
they're skidding around those corners at 80, 90, 100 miles an hour, then trying to accelerate. you're talking about fraction of seconds in feet here. very that's not all that uncommon. >> what i had read is they get upset and -- >> you can imagine. leland, thank you very much. right now, a group of thrill seekers getting more than they bargained for today. rescue workers were helping to get the last riders back on solid ground a short time ago. the popular amusement park that's trying to figure out what cause add roller coastest to get stuck. look at the view from there. plus hillary clinton with some comments about president obama's foreign policy.

abercrombie has lost hi bid for reelection, despite the backing of president obama, he had a well-funded campaign, and 40 years of experience. who won? state senator and fellow democrat david inge, once seen as the underdog. will, two questions. why is this getting such attention? >> aloha. here after a big storm, hawaiians got out to vote and decided to spend their governor. david igae, even he seemed a bit surprised by the final margin.
his supporters tell us that it's all about new blood. >> he's fresh air. fresh air. because there have been a lot of things that have gone on that we didn't really know about. and perhaps this one will open up. >> neil abercrombie is kind of over it. >> reporter: a lot of voters felt like that, harris, even with president obama recording a radio spot for abercrombie. obviously he lost by a devastating margin. i can tell you that he showed up with what they say here, with the aloha spirit last night to the celebration party and he vowed he will back the democrat this november. harris? >> very interesting. our political insiders tell me they want to react to this race. it may be the harbinger of something to come. meanwhile, i heard you mention the weather and a big
deal, because we've been covering that iselle storm. how did that have an impact on this election? >> reporter: it did end up having a direct impact on the primaries, in terms of two precincts had to postpone their primaries yesterday. those two precincts could have a big impact on a race that has a razor-thin margin in the democratic primary for u.s. senate. right now incumbent brian schott is leading by hanabusa. the voters will be sent absentee ballots. i can tell you, harris, the buzz is about the governor's race, the upset, obviously he lost and lost big. >> will carr, thank you very much. americans who risk their lives to help ebola patients are returning home. the plan to care for them and keep them in quarteren teen. quarantine. stay with us.

back out of the car. he exited his vehicle, and there was a shooting that occurred. >> you can see her there shouting in her anguish there. there was a memorial on sunday morning. tomorrow morning we're expecting another morning in terms of a process rally outside ferguson police station. >> as for the officer involved, his's a six-year veteran. apparently he's been put on paid administrative leave. that's normal policy, but no previous history. >> dom, before i let you go. just into fox news headquarters from "sts louis post dispatch" we're learning in washingtonjus is saying attorney general eric holder has asked attorneys from the civil rights division to start monitoring this case, so

air strike was carried out early sunday. the president's authorization of force is still being criticized not from is some from the war-weary left, but from hawkish critics who believe the president is offering too little too late. >> the defenders took to the talk shows today to defend the position. >> how many times has this happened? history, where the united states with the betts military in the world goes in and fights a war, leaves behind equipment and ordnance, and then finds it being used perhaps even against it in the next conflict? this is not new. it reflects the reality of war
today. and his refusal to build an inclusive government. listen up. >> i think what's contributed significantly to the situation has not been our presence or lack of presence, but the politics of malaki, his alienation of the sunni community. >> many republicans think the president's defenders are deflecting blame. >> there's no political reconciliation in baghdad going to protect the american homeland. that has to be a commander in chief with a strategy and a vision. this commander in chief has no strategy, he has no vision. >> the president has repeatedly cited a lack of status of force agreement for his decision to pull u.s. troops out of iraq in 2011. that pullout was followed by
malaki consolidating power, ignoring the sunni minority, who put up little resistance to i.s.i.s. fighters who made their first incursions. critics say had obamaing more forceful, this all might not have happened. >> doug, thank you very much. president obama has made it clear there would be no u.s. combat troops on the ground in iraq, but he has not given a timetable for how long this mission will take. the president's comments are sparking new debate on his strategy in iraq. >> i i think it's really hard. i don't think you can judge how he did right now. we're almost in an impossible situation. the american people really have no appetite for america to reengage. they don't want us to go into syria. that red line was crossed. the american people said no, the british people said no. he's reluctantly seeing the perils of inaction. if we do nothing here, then what? the fox news political
insiders are here, you can join the conversation on facebook and tweeter. in fact i've just tweeted and put out a posting, so all the comments are coming in. john leboutillier, former congressman for new york. pat caddell, form and death death, former pollster for president clinton and fox news contributor as well. good to be back after some vacation. doug, are we eeting back into war in iraq? >> i don't know, harris, but we have an existential threat to or values and daresay a stability as a nation, from i.s.i.s. who says they want to plant the flag in the white house. we have christians, muslims, other minority groups that are being targeted in iraq, and we have a policy of containment. we do not have a policy that will lead in, rachellely to
i.s.i.s.'s defeat. i would say to the president, one keyword, leadership. he's not showing it. you hear laura ingraham saying he's in a tough spot. she's not necessarily supporting him, but. >> she's kind of a new isolationist. look, let me just say, i think of a stove and the burners, we've got five or six ponce ts boiling there. i.s.i.s. has been there for three months. putin may invade in iraq. we have all these these going on, but i have to back up what doug said. we have had no policy. we have no leadership on any of these things. libya, we have to get out of our embassy. all of that points to one thing, but the things that's horrific here is we don't seem to have ner core values that we will
fight for. my 8-year-old granddaughter asked about me bring the girls home, she was consumed by that. i didn't have the heart to teller, you know, that's over. we did that pr moment. we have christians -- i'm appalled at this government's lack of concern about christians being massacred, women and children sold into slavery. this group, this minority group the kurds, several hundred women have been taken as, quote, war booty, and they are massacring people. by the way, just remember, we have -- this is what happens when you don't stop it. we have the coal -- we have the twin towers in ' 3, then the "uss cole" the two embassies and 9/11. all along we could have gotten bin laden. these people are here, they will kill us. >> you know, john, as you hear that, i mean, it's not new. we know we're hated. we know these guys hate us, i'm
seeing some support from republicans. how sincere is that report? i hear a but behind you, we support you, mr. president, but you didn't do what? >> didn't do enough. mccain, graham, they want to do more. >> what? >> i think ultimately they want troops back on the ground in iraq, engaging in combat against i.s.i.s. there, rather than have them at the white house and the guy al baghdadi, when he was let out of prison, i'll see you in new york. you've got the stove, ten burns ser, things bubbling, hamas, israel, the ukraine, libya, this thing in bubbling in -- >> still syria. >> and all of that. here's the thing -- who is manning the stove? who is running these pots? >> there is no strategy. >> the cook has gone to martha's vineyard, and the cook -- >> is that fair to pick on the
president because he's on vacation? if this things is the threat -- no one heard of i.s.i.s. a month ago. it isn't going to be pleasant. >> of course it matters. he should be in the december specifically what do we do? we arm. kurds. we don't stay away from that. we provide more assist tansz from the central government in iraq, and most of all, we go on a relentless bombing campaign that makes it very clear.
our troops pull -- obviously we didn't have them -- and they're using those to drive their -- they're using american assets, and we're not arming -- and yet there are allies willing to fight. what's missing here is a strategic interest that says here's a plan for all these areas. why isn't turkey being engaged? know, this administration cut and run in iraq at a moment when it shouldn't have. i want to say the republicans, of course, have crewed this up so badly. i want to segue into something, but i want to use our viewers to do that. wayne watson asking and says this. i'm afraid this current administration has lost touch with the world in which we live. america no longer walks softly and carries a big stick. this president is a laskstock of the world. i want to segue to hillary clinton, who is criticizing the
president. watch. what she says is that the administration sell the economy is roaring back. with kell look at that on screen? the failure to help -- forgive me for that. the failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests again assad -- she's talking of syria here -- there were islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle. the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadis have now filled. she's specifically talking about -- but.
what bedeviled hilly was her vote to commit troops in iraq originally. that hurt her on the 4re69. in her new book, she said she wish she hadn't done that. what she doesn't talk about in the book is she never read the intelligence about the wmd, which we now know was cooked intelligence. she voted politically to help herself to look hawkish on iraq. >> so did a lot of people. >> well, but -- she wants to be the commander in chief, you read the intelligence. you've got to know your stef. >> right now we have to do the right thing. >> remember this, she attacked

both in the region and around the world. this is a threat to our well-being. it's a threat to our country. anyone who does what the president did and said we're just trying to contain them and we're not going to put boots on the ground is making a mistake. >> the i.s.i.s. was south of bag dada, they're moving around to circle baghdad. they are on the march everywhere. merely containing it is not enough. what you have to do -- you used the right word, a coordinated effort. our allyinies in europe cannot help, because thif indigenous who are devotees of this. >> we haven't mentioned now in two segments the biggest power that has an interest also in crushing i.s.i.s., which is the iranian government. while we're talking about it, i guarantee you they're getting ready to go and do a military action. they've already been in baghdad. they've talked to al malaki
about it and will not let this fester on the border. >> and we've seen them move into syria. all right. >> the president we're not going to get a deal. he said that in his interview. >> a nuclear deal with iran. >> and we saw the sweetheart deal that they worked out with iran and russia now, to ease sanctions on both countries. we've got to move on. ricky mosser, i had talked about the economy, let's toddle into that. americans asked this weak in a "wall street journal"/nbc poll how they feel america is going. you've got to think their pocketbooks might be informing, would you look at the wrong track. direction of the country, 71%. ricky writes -- when you celebrate a 6.1 official unemployment at 975,000 people have quit looking for work, your view of a growing economy is warped. the u.s. economy is steadily drining, you need only to go to the grocery store and look at the costs of basic necessities
to see that. people chiming in on facebook and twitter about how they feel about this economy. >> ricky is exactly right. the economy is soft. close to a million people have given up looking for work. many of the people that are xwloimd are under employed. harr harris, 71% wrong track is a national crisis for not only the obama administration, but for the republicans, indeed the entire political class. the level of anger and frustration with washington and with political officials couldn't be higher. we are facing a cries abroad and at home. >> doug and pat are at the top ever of pollsters in america, right? one of the main questions you guys always put in a poll is about candidate x. does hi or she care about people like me. all right? what this poll shows is the

>> as we were all different places we come together to bring you the fox news alert. a state of emergency in california after a six magnitude earthquake rocks napa. it is the worst earthquake to hit the bay area in 25 years and it is not over yet. experts warning of strong aftershocks this week to come. live in downtown napa. devastating images to look at. what are the experts saying is to come? >> that's the big concern. there is still over 30% chance we'll see a 5.0 aftershock or greater. a 5 to 10% chance a quake stronger than this one in the next seven days. that's a big concern. the reason it's a concern, you have buildings like this one behind me here that obviously have the damage visible to the eye. you can see bricks have been tossed over, walls are completely gone. everything hanging still from the ceilings, light fixtures, air conditioning, all of that. you also see the more subtle
cracks in the buildings. that's a concern as you go all around the town and around the greater area. so many of the buildings still have some sort of cracks in them. they have to get in and survey those buildings and make sure they are safe. if you have an aftershock that comes in after that, these buildings that are potentially weakened, it can cause more damage. a lot of structures not safe. they have deemed 90 to 100 buildings are uninhabitable at this point affirm lot of buildings maybe had not been retrofitted. a big concern, shake-up for people yesterday morning as they were woken to this at 3:00 in the morning. take a listen to what one of the residents had to say. >> i'm still kind of caught up in how vile enthe shaking was. yes, it's just amazing. you don't think it's going to happen in napa. you hear san francisco, l.a., for an epicenter to be right here in napa itself is kind of shocking. >> talking about that epicenter. when they had the big earthquake 25 years ago, 100 miles to the
south of the napa area and the folks here did not feel it as strongly as they did this one. keep in mind. if you are 25 years or younger, you did not experience that earthquake before. if you think californians are used toeshes, they don't happen that regularly and not at this magnitude. guys. >> remember it rock the world series at the time in san francisco. all right, rick. we'll check back with you. great report. it's amazing. with all the advances, you expect a warning, hey, an earthquake will hit. >> they had one. >> ten seconds. >> they are working on forty seconds or ninety seconds, in which case if somebody was in an elevator, they would be programmed to stop at the next floor so somebody wouldn't be stuck in it. they make sure if somebody is operating, they take the scalpel out. >> not enough time for life threateni
threatening. >> the question is how much time does ainsley need to get from her show to our show. >> we're on the 12th floor.n >> you insist on taking the stairs. >> no elevators as we know there's aftershocks. a scare in the air as american airlines is forced to make an emergency landing after a twitter threat. it leads back to video games. the hacker group lizard squad tweeted this at. at american air we have been receiving reports that j smedley's plane -- >> he's the president of sony online entertainment. just before that tweet was sent out, sony's online gaming network went down. the plane was forced to land in phoenix where all the bags were searched. fbi is investigating. today the family of michael brown calling for protest toss stop so their son can be laid to rest.

>> what a great song. the singer blew that crowd away with an epic 15-minute performance. amid divorce rumors she was greeted on stage by her daughter and husband jay z. >> i thank god for this moment. i love y'all so much. blue i love you, my beloved i love you. my fans i love you. >> the biggest award of the night went to miley cyrus. she took home video of the year for wrecking ball. even though she didn't twerk, she let her date, a former homeless teenager accept the honor on stage. those are your headlines. my friends, back to you guys. >> all right, ainsley. thank you. >> bad news last week was the fact that jim foley was beheaded. he was an american journalist. the culprits were isis.
we have a fox news alert. that's the image released in the youtube last week. now the news is good. we actually have news an american journalist by the name of peter theo curtis has been released by an al qaeda affiliate called nusrah front. once upon a time they were isis but didn't like the level of brutality so they unjoined the club. why did they release them now? jim foley's boss said nusrah realized it wasn't in their best interest to be holding an american hostage at this point. that was probably right. >> the curtis family statement indicated to plea for humanitarian efforts for those still in captive. a statement, bravery and heroic efforts firsthand efforts that rallied spirits of familiesí
adds to price. there's no one who is saying there was a ransom paid but there is a belief catr propelled the group to take over the large swath of iraq and of syria. so nusra trying to say we're not bad. we understand america you're about do bomb. don't bomb us. we think isis is over the top as well. that is yet to be seen. meanwhile we also have new information about who could be behind beheading of james foley. >> last week we told you about according to some of the hostages who were released,
obviously somebody paid money. three guys with british accents. they refer to them as the beatles. the guy standing right there in the mask, apparently they are pretty confident it is a former londoner by the name of abdul maj majid, rapper played on bbc 1 radio. his father is sitting in an american prison at this hour accused of being complicit with al qaeda in the bombing of the embassies. >> dad has to be proud of him. >> his mom wrote a book about the trauma it brought to her husband and family with the incarceration there and six children. there's been some written work depicting the pain they were feeling as it relates to this involvement there. you hear i have not listened to some of the music. he's aa there, which indicates to many that the outreach socially through media, be it music, rap,
twitter, that this group may indeed have, may be an "x factor" moving forward and the effect they may have on younger and younger recruits. >> meanwhile when the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, secretary of defense in the wake of the beheading of james foley comes out and essentially says isis is the worst we've seen, most potent, most well financed terrorist group that the world has ever known, then all of a sudden we realize the threat to america. other people are trying to sideline that threat and say don't overstate it. not representative trent franks. those who want to avoid it are just putting blinders on. listen. >> said you may not be interested in war but war is interested in you. the terrorists are at war with the united states and everything we believe in. if we don't get with the program, they will make horrifying gains before we wake up. this administration seems to be essentially asleep at the wheel. so yes, yes we are at war. we have been for a long time.
this administration just doesn't realize it. >> what will the president do. the president got back from his very long vacation in massachusetts. there he is arriving on marine one last night. interesting sunday times which also broke the news regarding the rapper is a suspect in the beheading. they say the hostage rescue of james foley came too late. pentagon forces to the columnist that obama was worried troops would be captured or killed. he took too long to authorize the mission. he was worried he would be carterized, reminiscent of jimmy carter who had the failed mission in iran. >> soviets invade afghanistan, bush 43 change, got rid of rumsfeld, staged surge enormously successful. bill clinton changed after
rwanda. will president obama say i know what i said but i'm going to change. >> if he changed he would have come home early. >> many say it's been going on many years. after this russian beheading war is declared on the u.s. we will all sit by and see what the president decides to do. >> we're waiting. exactly 13 minutes after the top of the hour on this very busy monday morning. coming up, authorities closing in on james foley's murderer reportedly. this british rapper turned terrorists. jihadi johnny. we dig into his past. even his father's tie to al qaeda. >> coming up, a man takes a leisurely stroll on top of the brooklyn bridge. now he's in trouble. the bigger question is how did he gets up there?
i'm randy and i quit smoking with chantix. as a police officer, i've helped many people in the last 23 years. but i needed help in quitting smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking.
chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. 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 could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

british born rapper is the one they believe beheaded journalist james foley. here on the militant and more including the released american journalist with waleed.
what do we know about the bomber whose dad was part of the embassy bombing. >> abdel-majed is a 24-year-old british rapper whose music had a lot of violence and broadcasted on bbc. he joined jihadist networks and then isis. we're learning from british forces he most likely is the guy who beheaded the american victim. his father, actually, is in custody in the united states as part of the 1998 bombings in south africa. >> isis is about 10,000 strong. they have about 100 americans. how many brits? >> well, the sources that we have right now say european democracy of isis is 1800, one would imagine british in the hundreds and french in the hundreds as well. >> let's talk about great news. curtis is released, no ransom
paid. why debts out? >> it's fast to say no ransom paid officially. what we can say is al nusrah is part of al qaeda, al qaeda isú[ taliban. qatar host in their country, including five released by us from guantanamo. you can see the clear chain from al nusra. why they would do so accused in the media and world of being financier, funder of al nusra, isis and others operating in the middle east. >> you believe five released higher ups from gitmo pressured qatari government to give him up? >> the qatari government told them because they are living there on their soil -- this is an assumption, of course, not information. who are the highest ranking taliban in qatar? five generals released from
guantanamo. they do have connection, field connection most likely if it is them who has negotiated. >> here is the bigger question debated all weekend. many are thinking let's team up with syria and iran because we have a common enemy isis. would that be a wise move? >> that would ab+fn5îum other strategic mistake. if we team up with iran it means we come ally of hezbollah and therefore replacing isis with another organization. we've done enough mistake, it would be terrible. >> you think we should wipe them out on our own? >> form a coalition with many on the ground, jordanians. >> thank you very much. breaking news, wave released journalist. it doesn't seem as though any ransom was paid. we'll find out the details. thank you so much. >> thank you. coming ahead, it happened again. a man climbs the brooklyn bridge in broad daylight. no one stopped him until too
late. new king of late night television taking on a new target? >> another news story because of all the problems going on right now. political experts are calling president obama's vacation in martha's vineyard the vacation from hell. let's read between the lines. nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. there's a reason it's called an "all you can eat" buffet... and not a "have just a little" buffet. because what we all really want is more. that's why verizon is giving you even more. now, for a limited time, get more data! 1 gb of bonus data every month with every new smartphone or upgrade. our best ever pricing with the more everything plan

hi, quick headlines. caught on camera, another brooklyn bridge breach. a backpack wearing thrill seeker sneaks past security and climbs up brooklyn bridge. police say the 24-year-old got to the top and started taking pictures with his iphone. he was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and trespass. i'm just wondering who is watching the bridge. speaking about thrill seekers, is this the scariest selfie ever, on top of the fifth
largest skyscraper. the daredevils are infamous for scaling the world's tallest buildings. impress me. steve, elisabeth. >> i can barely look at that. >> he had his phone on a stick. 25 minutes after the top of the hour. >> king of late night jimmy fallon can still get ratings even with jokes about the commander in chief. >> the president really isn't helping himself by going on vacation. in fact i saw president obama played the eighth round of golf on his vacation today. he's played so much golf, i guess he's getting pretty good. he's still not at the pro level yet. here is rory mcilroy's tee shot. >> they are yelling get in the hole, get in the hole. you see the difference with obama'st?b watch this. >> back to work. >> back to the white house. >> get back to the white house. you know what, other comedians still protect the president as
one longtime "saturday night live" writer says, quote, it's like being a rock climber looking up at a 1,000 foot high face solid obsidian polished in oil. not a single thing to grab onto, certainly not a flaw or hookx5"u can caricature. here is weigh in hollywood reporter. good morning. >> nothing to grab onto. >> jim downey wrote for "saturday night live" on and off and mainly wrote political satire jokes. ones that we've laughed at at home with our families on saturday nights. he says in his books that there's really not that much to make fun of when it comes to president obama because he doesn't have those quirky little things like maybe former president george w. bush has, doesn't pronounce words wrong like nuclear. he feels as though obama is kind of this flawless person that you really can't make fun of. >> do you think that's true?
don't you think there's plenty of material there. >> listen, i don't think you can make fun of me but my family makes fun of me all the time. at the end of the day everybody is somebody you can poke fun at. >> of course. why do comedians choose not to. we heard from lauren michaels, if you remember, about six months ago. it says, republicans, it seems, can take a joke. it's hard to joke about democrats because they don't think it's funny and take it personally. >> for years, always long-standing in hollywood people have been primarily pro democrat. there is a lot of celebrities like beyonce and jay z, you have oprah, who have really endorsed barack obama. so it wasn't really cool to make fun of him. >> why can jimmy fallon get away with it. he certainly does. he has found a thing or two. >> his ratings going up. >> maybe his schedule. >> right in the beginning when he took over for jay leno, he was someone conservatives loved. he knew his audience probably would enjoy something like that but he wanted to tow the line.
now he's more free with his jokes. let's be honest. he wants a ratings boost. we're not sure if that's the case. people buzzing on twitter and social media. he's doing it for ratings. let's be honest. in 2016 he's going to want every person on that couch. he's not going to try to polarize people too much of it's interesting he started to poke jabs at obama. >> who doesn't want ratings particularly when it comes to late night. comedians love an audience. my question, isn't it worse -- >> look like you're in a tank. >> politically slanted. sentence that more something to fear? >> i can understand what you're saying and i worked for a brief amount of time as an intern at the colbert report. i see a lot of people get their news scarily from late night television and shows like "the daily show." you see stephen colbert is taking over for david letterman. i'm not really sure if that's going to hurt him in the long run. it is interesting he's finally getting the guts to do stuff
like this. >> interesting. is it about ratings, doing the jokes people in america want to hear. that's why jimmy fallon going up. we thank you so much. 28 minutes after the top. major shake-up. president of france has dissolved. does this proof socialism doesn't work? we'll tell you what we know. american airlines has a new target for fees. your kids. we'll explain that coming up. first we what to wish a happy birthday to country music star billy ray cyrus. he's 53 years old today and was probably really proud of his little girl last night. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ co: sometimes you don't know you need a hotel room

>> it's an earthquake. >> while it was a 6.0, this morning experts warn of an even bigger quake hitting in the future. rick is in downtown napa right now where rick there are a lot of broken bottles, aren't there? that's one of the side effects of this shaker in napa valley is a lot of broken wine. >> yeah, think about it. it's obviously a big industry and think it's just wine we enjoy drinking. it's a billion dollar industry. a big hit. initial estimates on the cost of this earthquake is a billion dollars of damage. that is a very large natural disaster. the immediate problems, things like this. >> take a look at this, been here since the 1900s, couple of large earthquakes. it's got steel beams. the outside wall fell into the parking lot and crushed this car. you get an idea how big these
bricks are, how heavy. this happened at 3:00 in the morning. nobody in the downtown area. a lot of street cafes here. people out, been in the middle of the morning when people are out for brumpl, could have been a very different story. the bigger earthquakes always what is a concern. that possibly this earthquake could have caused more pressure to build up on fault lines potentially more damaging. that probably is the case. last night director of seismology was on to talk about that. take a listen what he had to say. >> we know there's a bigger earthquake coming. we just don't know when it is. in terms of an immediate aftershock from this particular earthquake, it's possible we would have a larger magnitude earthquake over the course of the coming few days or weeks. what we know is we're going to have larger magnitude earthquakes over the coming years. >> and the thing is, this
occurred on a fault line called west napa fault line. there are bigger and more dangerous fault lines very close around seven miles away. potentially the pressure that it released here transferred make of the pressure to the heyward rogers creek fault line.hv that is the one that potentially could be a stronger earthquake and more deadly. one of the concerns certainly they are watching. guys. >> rick, live in napa, california. >> thank you, rick. gosh, you hope they come up with that system that gives more of a warning, 90 seconds, before that big quake. >> they say animals can detect it. >> i bet they can. >> what do they do? >> they start yapping. >> talking a lot. >> squirrels and chip monks we know run for your lives. >> you never see dead squirrels
after an earthquake. >> just for a moment, i cannot recall thinking back. >> 24 minutes after the top of the hour. ainsley with big news out of france. >> i do. french president francois hollande just dissolved his entire government. a major blow to socialism. the prime minister resigned after harshly criticizing handle of the economy which has been down. you'll remember hollande raised taxes over 100%. he's ordered a new government to be in place by tomorrow. a man in custody after a tense standoff following three deadly shootings in los angeles. the unidentified man described by police as a person of interest in the case. the mayhem about beginning before 6:00 a.m. when someone opened fire on an suv heading to church. four family members inside were wounded, another woman died at the scene. 45 minutes later another man was shot and killed two miles away. just minutes after that, a 50-year-old woman was found shot in the head.

travesty of justice. i think the media has not acted responsib responsibly. i think what is happening is not calming racial fears but actually enhancing them by acting as if this mantra of the unarmed black teenager shot by a white cop. that description in and of itself actually colors the way in which we look at this story. we're talking about an 18-year-old man who is 6'4" and weighs almost 300 pounds, who is videotaped just moments before the confrontation with a police officer strong arming an employee and robbing a convenience store. so you know, the way in which the story is being presented does, in fact, i think color the outcome. i think it's outrageous when a top law enforcement officer is the person who is helping do this. >> absolutely. you're supposed to be impartial,
particularly when you're head of the department of justice, yet there's been a rush to judgment not only by doj but this administration. i think they are sending three representatives to michael brown's funeral. when you look back how many did they send to the general's funeral a few weeks ago. it seems like there's something going on here? >> i do think there's something going on. it's politic, domestic politics. i think it's an exploitation of the black community. i think it's playing the race card and i think it's disgraceful. we have another life at stake here, the officer that shot the man. there's a grand jury hearing evidence. we have yet to hear what actually happened in that encounter. we do know officer wilson has a
spotless record. never a complaint filed against him, never any suggestion of racial animus. so the way in which this is coming down is not even allowing the grand jury to be able to impartially look at the evidence and make a a decision. you don't order a civil rights investigation before the it's so just take its own time. everything gets sped up so fast these days. lindaxsthavez joining us from denver, colorado. thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. >> you bet. ten minutes before the top of the hour. coming up, military malfunction. this training mission clearly not going according to plan. you've got to see the video. oh, my goodness. wait until you do. new attacking attack will make the one that hit target look like child's play. new details from the department of homeland security implicating over 1,000 scores and chris the cyber guy has crucial tips you need to know before you get

happen. right now the homeland security office along with the secret service have come up with security companies with a tool that they can find what's called the back-off malware that affects cash register systems. what this means is now american businesses can go look and see if they've got this. the early detection is proving that a lot of them do. already seven of the companies that make this cash register kind of software have admitted to having some of their clients already have an infiltration going on, two of which ups. so if you've taken your box to the ups and used a credit card, watch out. your maim is now on the list of somebody whose personal information, your credit card, personal data for shopping, anything you gave them is out and open. what happens is hackers break in. they take this, they pilfer through it and they collect it and tell it out on the black market. so your credit will go down the toilet in a matter of seconds from these breaches.

good morning. it is monday, august 25. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. the west coast still bracing for aftershocks after a massive earthquake. nearly 200 injured as businesses and homes crumble. now experts are warning the big one, we're talking 30 times as powerful, is coming. we are live in napa. the president back to work today and the former deputy director of the c.i.a. says he better do something about isisqc and he better do something about isis quick. >> long-term, 2 1/2, three years, we need to worry about a
9-11-style attack by isis. >> you don't want to hear that from the top c.i.a. guy. so what is the president's next move? we'll tell you. and at last year's vma's she twerked with a foam finger. this year miley cyrus did something that everyone is talking about today. the speech no one saw coming. we'll explain. mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> thank you, don king, whose birthday it was a couple days ago. he's 83 and a friend of the show. we've got a very, very busy day today. >> we sure do. let's get to that fox news alert. a state of emergency in northern california after a 6 magnitude earthquake rocks napa. it is the worst earthquake to hit the bay area in 25 years. >> you know what? it may not be over yet. experts warn an even bigger quake could be opt way.
>> rick reichmuth has been scrambled out to the west coast. he's in downtown napa. rick? >> we certainly know there will be a bigger one in california at some point. everybody knows that. that it's coming. also the possibility that this earthquake put more pressure on some of the other fault lines that are bigger and potentially more damaging. one of the people, one of the directors of seismology from the university of california-berkeley, talked to judge jeanine. listen to what he had to say. >> we're already overdue for a big earthquake. manage my do you do 7, which will affect a much larger number of people in the bay area due to the density, not to mention this will be 30 times as much energy. >> reporter: yeah. and the thing that's so important about that is earthquake, when you talk about a 6.0 to 7.0, it doesn't go up in a linear fashion. it goes up like a bell curve. so it is 30 times more powerful,
a 7.0 than 6.0. that's what's concerning. this is the damage from the 6.0. you can see it here. right in the center of the town of napa. and you can see the damage that you have from a 6.0 earthquake right here. the facade coming down, the corners of the building falling off. this an outdoor area where people hang out and dine. this actually is an outdoor eating area. had it happened in the daytime, it would have been a different story. 70,000 people were without power at the peak of it. that's been restored to 65,000 people, which is good. so still 5,000 people without power. about 100 residences will not be inhabitable because of the structural damage. any aftershocks, there is a 20% we could see one greater than 5.0 within the next seven days. that's a big concern, especially with the buildings that have possibly become weakened with this earthquake 24 hours ago. >> you got to be careful. rick reichmuth live in napa,

silence so i can -- so we can lay our son to rest. please. that's all i ask. >> president obama is sending three white house officials to⌜ attend brown's funeral in st. louis, missouri. however, the white house is selective when sending in representatives to funerals. only a low level delegation was sent to british prime minister margaret thatcher's funeral last year. police looked who shot inside a packed area. three people were shot at one oak, including rap mogul suge(ó1 night. he was hit six times, underwent surgery and is expected to be okay. new reports are claiming chris brown was the intended target. miley cyrus turning heads at the mtv music awards. she didn't twerk, but she still had got a lot of people talking. she let her date, a homeless teen-ager, accept her video of

peacekeepers on sunday. for more. >> we're going to head over to peter doocy in washington with the latest. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. the 45-year-old american freelance journalist who was held by terrorists in syria since before the 2012 presidential election is now free. the specifics surrounding how he was released are still unknown right now. but his family says the government of qatar helped facilitate the freedom. his family also says no ransom was paid to the al-qaeda offshoot and that the release was for humanitarian reasons. here is more reaction from peter's mother, nancy, who was in cambridge, massachusetts. quote, my heart is full at the extraordinary dedicated, incredible people, too many to name individually, who have become my friends and have tirelessly helped us over these many months. please know that we will be eternally grateful. the curtis family says now they plan to help other families of those being held in syria and a
similar promise is being made from foggy bottom. john kerry explaining every waking hour our thoughts and faith remain with the americans still held hostage and wi their families and we continue to use every diplomatic intelligence and military tool at our disposal to find them and bring our fellow citizens home. one of the americans still held by isis in syria, steven sotloff, was shown in the same video used to broadcast james foley's execution and isis is threatening that sotloff will soon die as well if the u.s. does not stop air strikes in iraq. back to you in new york. >> peter reporting live from our nation's capitol. the president of the united states returned to the nation's capitol last night. he was on marine one after his very long vacation out in martha's vineyard. the big question is what will the president do? listen to this prognosis.
>> i think there is three things we have to worry about. two are short-term. one is long-term. the two short-term pieces are number one, will they inspire somebody here to conduct an attack? the second is there is a number of americans and a number of canadians and a number of west europeans who went to syria to join isis to fight with them. any one of those could be directed back at the united states to conduct a small scale attack. over the long-term, 2 1/2, three years, we need to worry about a 9-11-style attack by isis. >> higher up long-time guy in the c.i.a. says look out. the head of the intelligence committee in the house, mike rogers, says they're a plane ticket away from hitting us here at home. general martin dempsey, who adds stark terms last week to describe isis says this. says there is no sign that the islamic state militants are engaging active plotting against the homeland. so it's different from which we see in yemen.
so no big deal at home, which means we're not going to hit anything until they're a threat here. >> no big deal at home is not what many others are saying, as we just heard from mike morell there. there are many levels to be considered here in terms of our safety, particularly when the threat from isis says specifically we will drown you in blood. i mean, i'm not sure what more of a threat besides our own being beheaded on the world stage, what more information do we need to understand that the threat is here, it is happening, there is a war? >> sure. the fact that they beheaded that american, that is an act of war. how about the isis spokesman who said that we will raise thegu s flag in the white house? how about the guy ho said see you in new york? for martin dempsey, him to say no syria action at this point, and the fact that he was much more direct last week, you got to wonder whether or not politics from the administration is coming into play, where after he said the stuff on thursday,
somebody from the white house called him and said, come on. we can't do anything right now. >> maybe the secretary of defense and the chairman were freelancing while the president was golfing? >> maybe. >> 12 minutes after the hour. up next, is this guy proof terrorists are already inside the under the circumstances us? why he's being called the first jihadi serial killer in the united states. but we promise you it is okay to watch. a boy run over by a car gets up and walks away. >> that is unbelievable. first, more beyonce from last night's video music awards. ♪ ♪ ♪

see the same thing that many apologists wanted to say after the boston marathon. there have been 300 arrests of radicalized muslims who may ultimately not be part of a big terror movement as far as their last steps of actions are concerned, but to drive the fuel that moves them is a narrative, a global narrative that anti-freedom, anti-western, that targets america, targets britain, targets all those that stand in the way of an establishing an islamic state and the islamist moved around the world. >> we heard from general martin dempsey that isis is not a direct threat right now on our soil, that this is not as big of a deal as we thought last week. what do you think about that? is he wrong? >> as somebodhññ is on the front lines, countering these ideologies as a muslim, it is just horrifying to me that we can't seem to yet get this right in that okay, fine, it's almost like we have a whacka mole
program, globally as far as boca haram, isis, muslim brotherhood and others, yet we say it's not a big threat, let's ignore it and it will go away. same thing with individuals, like mohammed brown, et cetera, we don't want to deal with the deeper problem and say the problem is bigger than ever since 9-11. and the reason they say there is no threat, because they don't want to operate in a realm where they have a strategy, where they identified that this is the new cold war of the 21st sentry. global slammism is on the rise. the president and his administration do not want to figure out what to fill into that vacuum, so they would rather say there is no vacuum of the for those of us trying to front on the front lines, we're hanging with no support. >> so you would say isis indeed may already be here? >> you know, the u.k. had more muslims go to fight with isis than they have muslim in the royal armed services. so there is 500-plus and there
have been almost 1,000 that have gone. it's not only here, it may be easier for isis rather than going to the middle east like syria or iraq to operate on the soil here and i hope and pray our homeland security is following it because it's not whenfy1ur -- if, but when we get attacked on our soil. i'm sorry to say. >> thank you. >> thank you. coming up, a star soccer player who scored the game winning goal killed before he even leaves the stadium. and the liberal mayor of new york city threatening to end the historic tradition of carriage rides on the street in the name of animal cruelty. but we have a doctor in the house who says carriage rides don't harm them at all. ♪ ♪

that i speak to all the time, they want to go in and bomb the hell out of them. i really think they made a mistake. they have somebody else over there and people are waiting foc that to happen, for that ugly act to happen. and we'll see. at the same time when it comes to terrorism, how can you pay in order to stop? it will just -- then everybody becomes victims and there will be more problems than you're going to solve. so it's a really, very, very tough situation. but i think they made a terrible mistake 'cause people that really wanted to stay out are actually saying we ought to go in and bomb the hell out of them. we'll see what happens. >> you know a lot about financing. these guys have billions of dollars in the banks because qatar is part of the united arab emirates and others are essentially paying protection money. they're financing these people. we could do a lot of damage not only by hitting with air strikes, but by stopping the money flow. >> they also have the oil. they've taken over a lot of oil
and they've taken over various sections of the oil and if you folks remember, i would always say during iraq, 'cause i was not a big fan and i was not a fan of what was going to happen after we left, i said we ought to take the oil and keep the oil and i took a lot of heat over it. and i said because if we don't take it, whether it's iran or isis or somebody else is going to take it. and that's exactly what happened. but worse than we ever thought took it. so they have oil money and they have a lot of other money and they have money from our so-called friends, the saudis and lots of other people are supporting them. when we look at ourselves and say, what are we doing? >> no kidding. after the news broke that jim foley was beheaded, a lot of people figured the president of from his golf vacation up in the commonwealth of massachusetts, but he actually didn't. he was enroute back on air force one when he heard the news and didn't turn around. then yesterday in the pages in,
of all place, the gray lady, the "new york times," maureen dowd talked about the golf war. david plouffe was on one of the sunday shows yesterday talking about the president's golfing and that really doesn't stop him from doing a job. listen. >> this is a political tradition. when you're the president of the united states, you're never really on vacation. you're on 24/7. i think this concept of optics fascinates the american people. >> i think he's wrong, mr. trump. i think if the image of -- on the cover of one of the new york tabloids on thursday was the image of jim foley being beheaded and then a shot of barak obama out golfing, that sends a terrible message to americans and to our adversaries around the world. terrific.

of having this total gridlock. but this was a bad time to be playing golf. he could have waited a day or two days. i mean, he played right after the bombing started and he played right after the beheading. i think it's a terrible picture. you have pictures all overt world and people are very upset about it. >> do you remember when george bush stopped golfing because of the image it sent? >> well, i did hear that, yes. >> real quick, in the big picture, senator mick contain said listen, carter changed afterwards, george w. bush got rid of donald rumsfeld and put the surge together. clinton changed after rwanda. the president comes back, he's home today. do you think he'll have a different approach to isis? >> i think he will. i think he's going to get tougher. i think he's going to have to probably get tougher. again, the beheading was horrible to see that at this age and this day and age was just incredible. i certainly hope they have the one nabbed -- i would love to see them nab that guy and
frankly, we should do the same thing to them. as i said on one of my tweets, we will read them their miranda rights, we will have them in court for the next 20 years. it's ridiculous. they seem to know who did it, the beheading, and boy, i hope they get them. but you have to take strong action because ultimately some really bad things are going to happen for this country. you have to nip it in the bud and it's got to be nipped strongly. >> you do think he will take stronger action? >> i do see that, yeah. i think that's going to happen. i think it's going to have to happen. and the only thing is that countries that are really strongly affected by this aren't taking action. we're fighting for other countries and not being reimbursed. we owe $17 trillion and that number is going up rapidly. not being reimbursed. we're doing all of this work for other countries. why aren't other countries doing things? and countries that are frankly much more affected than we are? but yes, i think he will take
>> i hope his language indicates that as well. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> the first thing he should do is restore the financing to the military. he cuts it to the bone and asks them to do extraordinary things. >> let's see if he does anything. he could come back from vacation last week, but he didn't. headline time with ainsley earhart. >> good morning to awful you. caught on camera, another brooklyn bridge breach. this time a backpack-wearing security, climbing up that bridge. police say the 24-year-old got to the top, started taking pictures with his iphone. he was arrested and charged with wreckless endangerment and criminal trespassing. this comes a month after a pair of german artists confess to swapping out two american flags on top of the bridge with those white ones. a soccer player is dead after being hit by an object thrown from the crowd duringgvif game in algeria's top league.

and medicare plans. this morning calls growing for the president to clearly lay out a strategy, a comprehensive strategy to defeat isis. from chuck hagel to america's top military officer, experts across the board are saying the threat is real, calling the group, quote, beyond anything we've seen. is the u.s. ready, willing and able to destroy isis? after all, we just cut our military to the bone. here to weigh in is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. you need a comprehensive strategy. it's not just going to be let's go invade iraq. >> you know this as well as anybody, the issue is ready, willing and able. the united states has not determined or developed a cohesive comprehensive, direct and clear policy. let's look at the situation as it exists now. about one quarter of iraq is under isis control. we see the isis presence in
syria and iraq. the issue becomes will we in fact strike syria in a very hard directed way to take out isis command and control centers, 'cause we know isis speaks to syria and iraq. so to take iraq without taking syria becomes a real issue. >> well, we see that syria had a strategy. so they were being invaded by protesters. they asked us for some finances. they said they wanted to bring democratic principle noose that country. who knows, but it would be better than assad. we let them go. so assad thought i'll let the terrorists come in, wipe out the free syrian army and then i'll only have one enemy and the west will look at this enemy. that enemy got so big, no one could control it. >> the issue becomes now are we going to team up with assad? are we, according to some democratic liberals in this country, team up in a civil war with assad, the fellow who we regarded as an enemy?
this is what some people are saying we should be doing. conducting special op raids, air strikes, even close the turkish border which is the poorest bodier between syria and turkey. and the problem is intelligence going to the ready and willing and able point through articles in the "washington post," through other leaks are saying we don't have the capacity. the drones can't do it. we really can't bomb syria in a robust, effective manner. we shouldn't be doing it. we should wait for months. there has also been this liberal lean that somehow isis is not nazi germany. isis is not communism in the 40s and 50s. it's not a real threat, that it's a regional threat, that it's part of a regional civil war that we shouldn't be involved with. but we saw what happened to mr. foley and what happened to christians and what happened to other minorities. >> they promise to do do the same thing to the other westerners in their custody. when that was written last night, general dempsey saying
this is apocalyptic. this group is better financed, better trained than anyone we've ever seen. last night on the plane he tells a group of reporters that isis is more of a regional threat and is not currently plotting or planning attacks against the u.s. really? because 100 of the 10,000 are americans -- >> it's transformation. >> general dempsey said it was apocalyptic, it was end of days, that they had a vision for destruction. there were notions of a black flag over the white house. there were notions that there was going to be a second 9-11 attack greater because this is an organization that has a billion dollars in resources. clearly, clearly someone in the white house has gotten to general dempsey to say, you better pull those remarks back. we'll probably see those remarks being pulled back by secretary of defense hagel as well. we'll see this attack by liberal democrats in the congress that say, wait, wait, wait. we're war weary. we can't do this. it may be a risk of a second 9-11, but we can take care of it in other ways. we see now an international force of so-called seals and
green berets and other folks. we need a coalition of the willing. jordanians, saudi arabia, people in the middle east to stand with america against isis and against terrorism. we can not ignore this threat. >> not as a favor to us, for their own security. >> we are not ready, willing and able yet. hopefully we will become between. >> thanks so much. great to see you. and good donald trump tie. next up, final exams for your kindergartener. it could happen. is that a good idea? a debate next. don't tell him or her until we settle this. on this date in 1978, and in 1978, frankie valuey -- valli had the number one song in america with "grease." ♪ ♪ [meow mix jingle slowly and quietly plucks] right on cue.

thousands taking to the street in new york city over the weekend as al sharpton led anti-cop rally aimed at seeking justice in the death of eric garner and michael brown. but new numbers show the city is a lot safer unless you happen to be a bad guy. so how did the nypd turn it around? we're going to ask former nypd detective, thomas ruskin who joins us now. good morning. >> go4j morning. >> first off, i want to step back. what do you think about the white house actually sending representatives to the funeral and services for michael brown today? >> i have never seen the white house send representatives to anyone's funeral. they've never sent it to my knowledge to any new york city police officer's funeral where he's been killed in the line of duty or anywhere else in this country. so for them to send three representatives to a guy who
robbed a convenience store, no matter what happened with the shooting, to me, makes my blood boil. >> it's interesting. you mentioned police officers who have died not had representatives from the white house at their services in the line of duty. 44 police officers lost their lives while protecting new york since 2000 alone. 23 on september 11. what is the message? right here in new york city, so much good has come from law enforcement really stepping it up, while the messaging is hey, police, stand back. what do you think about this? >> i don't think any police officer in this country who has sworn to give his life to defend other officers or civilians is ever going to step back. but you're going to think twice before taking certain types of actions? >> why? >> because if you're going to be criticized and second guessed day after day after day in the media with all these innuendos of what happened, dr. baden's
autopsy shows me he was shot with his hands down. he was shot three times in the arm in the front of his arm. not with his hands up. so if his hands were down, he didn't have his hands up. what you'll find through this investigation, i think -- and this has been my history in following these cases -- is that the people who originally come forward changed their story when they have to testify in front of a grand jury and give a testimony under perjury, under he were penalty of perjury. >> won't people take advantage of the fact that police going to be closer looked at in terms of their procedure? will there be those lurk to go take advantage of this moment post-michael brown? >> well, police departments routinely look at their procedures after any major shooting in this country. so i think that that's to be expected and police officers expect that. police officers will still go out there every single day and risk their lives around this country for the citizens that they are sworn to protect. >> i know a lot of lives have
been saved. a lot of minorities' lives have been saved since the nypd changed their procedures for the better. thank you. >> thank you so much. the president arriving back at the white house overnight. bret baier on that from washington, coming up top of the hour vo: this is the summer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. so get out there, and get the best price guaranteed. find it for less and we'll match it and give you $50 toward your next trip. expedia. find yours. let that phrase sit with you for a second. unlimited. as in, no limits on your hard-earned cash back. as in no more dealing with those rotating categories. the quicksilver card from capital one. unlimited 1.5% cash back

good morning. it is monday, august 25. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. the left coast still bracing for aftershocks after a massive 6.0 earthquake.el4 nearly 200 injured as businesses and homes crumble. now experts are warning aftershocks could be even stronger than the original quake. we are live in napa. then an american hostage freed from the evil clutches of al-qaeda. this as authorities close in on apparently james foley's murderer. that man in the mask. now a new report claiming the special forces mission that tried to rescue foley was delayed by the president.
bret baier weighs in on that straight ahead. >> yep. and the challenge is on. >> i challenge steve doocy from fox news. >> wow. steve doocy accept kenny rogers' als ice bucket challenge? ♪ you know when to get covered in ice ♪ >> does that mean yes? >> stick around. you'll find out in 57 minutes. mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends," the number one morning cable news show in america. >> thank you, colonel david hunt. welcome aboard. live from new york city and washington, d.c. because bret baier joins us every monday at this time. good morning to you, bret. >> good morning. >> bret, isis is a big fat mess now and with the beheading, there were a lot of people who suggested the president should cut his vacation short. he didn't. but today he is back in washington, d.c
but yesterday's drum beat got pretty loud. we've got to do something about isis now or they're going to come get us. >> it really did. the president's got a full plate here dealing with this terrorist army. we've talked about it not only in iraq, but syria and the threats for attacks on western interests not only in europe, but in the u.s. they are continuing. you talk to intelligence officials here in washington and they will tell you that this particular brand of terrorist, this isis group, this terrorist army is really moreover lent, more dangerous than al-qaeda and they're a lot bigger. they originally thought there were only 10,000 or so. could be five to ten times that now. and it's growing. >> we know this, you can count on islamic extremists to always overstep. i would say, venture to guess, that the brutal beheading of this journalist, unprovoked, just covering a conflict, a serious civil war is the
overstep. now everyone is alerted to it. but you agreed reading between the lines. why would the chief of staff say to reporters on a plane last night that it's more of a regional threat, not really a threat to us at home? did someone pressure him? >> maybe, because boy, that's not the message you're getting from various intelligence committees up on capitol hill or frankly intelligence officials who speak to us anonymously because they look at it and they see a real threat to the homeland and real threat to european interests. hundreds of these isis guys have foreign european passports. >> we have a representative out of arizona who said this, we have a war, it's right here whether you want it or not. take a listen. >> trotsky said you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you and the terrorists are at war with the united states and everything that we believe in. if we don't get with the program, they will make horrifying gains before we wake
up and this administration seems to be essentially asleep at the wheel. so yes, yes, we are at war. we have been for a long time. this administration just doesn't realize it. >> is part of the president's agenda right here because he has to realize that he can't be in denial, bret, to replace, talk about replacing, removing, why aren't we replacing funds in terms of our defense department? >> yeah. listen, when you see the justice department open up an investigation into the beheading of james foley, that's a different signal. it is a law enforcement action as far as many people call that an act of war with this group and they have to be taken out. we heard that this weekend. it's important to point out, to go back to what the chairman joint chiefs said, to hear the context. it is a regional threat now, but could it grow and be a threat and jump to a european or u.s. problem? that's really the question. >> sure.
on thursday we had jim foley's boss at that web site he worked at, he was on with us and he said that last spring when a number of european hostages were released, they told the intel people, hey, they're holding them in the city of raka, in the syrian city, that's where you'll find james foley. they didn't have the raid where they tried to rescue him until summer. you got to wonder why they waited a couple of months. now there is a property from the sunday times of london, which also accurately said that it looks like the fellow who did the beheading was a rapper, british rapper. now tony harnden says pentagon sources have said that barak obama worried u.s. troops would be captured or killed and he took too long to authorize it because he worried elder carterrized. what would to jimmy carter after he launched that failed mission in 1980 to rescue the american hostages taken by the iranians would happen to him. now the question is, did the
president wait too long? >> sure, i think there are going to be a lot of monday morning quarterbacking about what should have been done when and clearly in any operation into a place like syria, there would be that thought in the administration about 1980 and the failed effort by the delta force into tehran or frankly, blackhawk down more recently, some incident that would draw the u.s. in if they were not a what they did. this administration obviously launched the bin laden raid. clearly they made calculations to go forward before. but this time for one reason or another, they didn't. we don't know the accuracy of that sunday times report. i think that you are going to suspect and the british rapper potentially, he's one of the suspects. they're trying to do voice analysis as well as other investigative tools to try to pinpoint this group because
that's a real threat to great britain, which is why you saw the prime minister, david cameron, rush back. >> but if we handle the investigation like a criminal, like once we get him, the threat is over, i think we're fooling ourselves. so let's see what the president is going to do. i really got to ask you about another major issue of what's happening in ferguson. today we understand michael brown, the funeral will take place and the white house is sending three representatives. how unpress departmented is this? -- unprecedented is this? >> clearly they're trying to make a statement that they support the -- they want to call for calm on the ground. but it is interesting that the investigation obviously is still going forward, still continuing. we don't really have a clear sense definitively of where that investigation is going. but they are sending three white house aides. critics will say that that's premature and they look at other events like margaret thatcher's funeral where former administration aides were sent. but the father of michael brown
is calling for peace and silence and we'll see and hope that's what happens. >> he did. he did call for a at this of peace and silence -- day of peace and silence for their son. we spoke with detective thomas ruskin who mentioned that to the best of his knowledge, he doesn't recall the white house sending in a representative to any of the police officers that died, 44 of them, since early 2000. no one from the white house appeared at their funerals. >> no white house aides went to jim foley's service. >> that's right. >> but i'm not -- listen, i don't know what this sends. clearly the administration has been taking heat from the left for the president not speaking up more forcefully. and now he'll take heat from the right for sending aides. >> all right. bret baier joins us every monday morning at this time. thank you very much. >> all right. now to a fox news alert, residents in northern california surveying the damage following a
6 magnitude earthquake in napa. officials declaring a state of emergency, saying losses could top $1 billion. rick reichmuth joins us. that is a heavy load of damage financially on top of the physical damage we see. >> reporter: yeah, you're absolutely right. the earthquake was a $6 billion disaster 25 years ago. today's dollars is a different story. this is some of the damage you're seeing here. this is the obvious damage that you might see from an earthquake. take a look at some live shots that we have, live camera up now in a mobile home park that is just about two miles from here in downtown. these pictures are coming out of kttvu, one of our affiliates. this is a mobile home park that yesterday, one of the gas mains burst. a very large fire in this area. one of the residents in that area, 83-year-old man, had words to say about it. listen to what his experience

>> look, when we had this immigration crisis, which is still going on with women and children coming across, the border control people were saturated. the isis people have already come in. they are in our cities today. they are ready to attack us. 9-11 is a very attractive date for them. i believe we should be prepared and we are not. our commander in chief is not on the commander in chief role. he's out to lunch. >> all right. general mcinerny joining us with sobering words on this monday morning. while the president is back to work, let's see if they do anything. thank you very much. >> thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, final exams in kindergarten? it could be happening at a school near you. is it a good idea or bad? we'll got a debate. it's talk show turf war. rosie o'donnell about to share office space with one of her greatest tv foes.

time for quick headlines. good news for tired teens. the american academy of pediatrics urging schools to start at 8:30 and no earlier. that's because they say teens need between 8 1/2 and 9 1/2 hours of sleep perat's exactly s and he's a grownup. is your tap water lowering your i.q.? while the cdc praised floor raid, people in china and iran who consumed excessive fluid have a seven point reduction in
their i.q. i worked very hard on that study. elisabeth? >> i can tell. thanks. florida law that goes into effect this year is giving school districts the option to test their students with some version of a final exam and that could actually include kindergarteners. should we be testing five-year-olds? joining us for a fair and balanced debate, senior fellow at the center for education reform and neil from the cato institute. we thank you both for being here. five years old, i've got a five-year-old. seems a little early for testing, and options sometimes do become quiet mandates. is there a problem? >> great education really is linked to the issues you've been talking about all morning, elisabeth. it's tied to a great economy, tied to a safe and peaceful and exceptional world. and kindergarten is where they use the kills. they need to learn play.
lay is actually a noncognitive thing that will help them for life and whether it's florida or indiana or washington or anywhere else, great schools need great teachers that guide our kindergarteners and kids at every other grade to learn how to be great at the things that we want them to know and be able to do to be productive. and is test not testing in kindergarten a bad idea? of course it is. they need new skills and anyone saying, which i don't think fellow there is, but anyone saying they need to have some standardized test is simply wrong. >> some of the questions they say could be as simple as what color is this circle? and you would have to answer red if the circle are red. neal, what do you say? >> i think it would be a problem if this was top down standardized testing where we have to treat every child as if they're exactly the same, as if people all had the same goals for education. of course people don't. do some people want their
children to know their abc's and maybe spell words and do some reading by the end of kindergarten? possibly. other people want their kids to become better socialized? certainly. so what we need is a system where you tonight get these top down mandates where every child has to be treated the same, but where you can choose schools, you can get different models and for some people, that may mean yes, i'd like to see a test of my child's literacy when they start, when they end kindergarten. but to have any sort of top down, one size fits all standardized testing regime would be a huge mistake. >> i think the fear, though, is that a child could be tracked as early as kindergarten when they're still in such a developmental phase of their education. >> do you know what the best anecdote to that kind of concern and worry? the reality is grade schools have great teachers and have lots of freedom and flexibility to do what they need to do. and yet be held accountable for firm outcomes and standards.
every state in this country has standards in place to tell the teacher, the parent, the community what kids should know and be able to do at every level. that's not rocket science. but the problem becomes, elisabeth, that when we actually mandate from the top down as neal was saying, when we require things at every given level and deprive the teacher of her freedom and his flexibility to do what they were trained to do is when we get a mess. so where are the great schools? where are the great systems? where parents and teachers have freedom to make choices is where we see the kids ho have come from the least advantaged backgrounds doing well and kids from the most advantaged backgrounds actually go farther than they normally would. >> we just want kids to be able to learn. will this help or hinder children, or is this just more about control over the system? >> i think it's a lot more about control and unfortunately, this is a trend we've been seeing for
20, 30 years now, is that we have this mindset where all kids have to be treated the same and they have to move in the exact same rate. treating them as if they're essentially all the same thing and are part of one big sort of american machine. but that's simply not what america is based on of the we're based on individual freedom, on creativity, on innovation, and all kids are different. so we need a system that instead of pretending we can be puppet masters, where we let individual children get the education that's best for them and thri(k/ and lead the lives that ultimately they want to lead. >> that's right. >> exactly. back to school time is a great time for us all to rediscover what it is we're supposed to do. it's not just a matter of parent involvement and teachers in the classroom. it's actually a matter of knowing what does the law say that created this frenzy over kindergarten testing? what's the role of the policy maker? what's the role of us? we as parents which should be more power and more control. >> jenny and neal, we thank you for being with us today.

critics are calling president obama disconnected from surgeoning from the golf course minutes after addressing the beheading of james foley. here is one of his close friends on "fox & friends" weekend. >> it hasn't sit very well with me for sure, you know. to me, it's personal, but also even beyond that. i think it shows quite a disconnect that the president talks about taking on isis, consoles the foley family and is out playing golf so quickly.
at the very least, it's very poor management by his handlers. but i think is those a callousness. >> michael goodwin joins us now. woodrow wilson played golf. eisenhower loved golf. what's the problem? >> look, presidents are entitled to a vacation, but there is just the question of how engaged this president is in the job. he seems almost fixated on playing golf. >> his speech was good. it showed he was emotional. >> i don't think it was a good speech. but then, there is no action. to get back on the golf course within minutes, i think showed a callousness that goes beyond the routine. i personally believe this president doesn't care anymore. i believe he's sort of fed up with the job, he's frustrated. he's failing. and i think he's just kind of checked out. so playing golf is his pleasure. he likes the perks of the job, but you look at the problems in the world, you look at the problems in the country, he's simply not acting as a president
who wants to get things done. >> at the very least, he should tell the photographers, not today. don't show up. 'cause he was laughing. >> you can't do that. that's the great thing about the american press is that we do have access. it is accepted that we will have access, but to show the president minutes after the foley beheading to be doing that, i think just shows he doesn't care what people think about him. >> david plouffe tries to rationalize yesterday. listen. >> this is a political tradition. when you're the president of the united states, urinary really on vacation. you're on 24/7. i think this whole discussion of optics is something that fascinating washington, but not the american people. >> that was even a weak spin. >> yeah. i think that the optics tell us something about him. anybody who could do that, it's not just how it looks, it's how it must be inside him to make that decision.
>> you wrote he looks hollow. >> he does. i think he's a hollow man. i think he has no compassion for the foley family in this case. but i think he also is not committed to the job. i mean, we are in a terrible situation around the world. the president essentially checked out. he's trying to do the minimum. you heard his defense secretary and the chairman of the joint chiefs talking about how serious it is. that's not what the president wants to hear. the president wants to hear osama bin laden is dead, gm is alive. we're doing great. let's get back to domestic issues. let's keep the senate in democratic hands. i think we'll see him campaigning. but he doesn't talk to members of congress. doesn't talk to his own cabinet. he's checked out from the real work of the president. >> we're going to check you out again on radio in about 12 minutes. thanks so much. >> my pleasure. we're going to come back with a special ice challenge next. >> i challenge steve doocy from fox news. >> and steve is gearing up to

your life donate their time and money and resources to give you something that they probably don't even have. it will be a place that we make memories for the rest of our life. >> something positive. thanks, everybody, for inviting us into your home tonight. that's your report, fair, balanced, and unafraid. this fox news alert -- isis, a bunch of savages. apparently executing a second me american, a journalist, by cutting off his head. today posting a horrific video on line. they claim it is an american. this comes two weeks after isis beheaded james foley. and days after the journalist's mother made a plea for mercy on her son. they showed none. for the latest, katherine herod joins us. >> thank you, i have seen the video, it runs about two minutes and 45 seconds. it begins with a message, title,
it's called "a second message to america." this is seen by investigators as more evidence that it is, in fact, the executionf steven sotlof. the first execution was posted by isis of journalist james foley. then when we look at this video, we see it's really a carbon copy of the foely video. you see on the left the individual we believe to be steven sotloff. he gives a statement speaking under duress where he denounces american foreign policy. then you see the skagzer there on the right, the -- executioner there on the right, the similar posture to the foley video, where he speaks in a somewhat more aggressive and offensive tone, saying, "obama," as opposed to "president obama," and saying that he is to blame for the execution of this american citizen. it's noteworthy that at the end another individual is shown. this is believed to be a british national hostage, you see him
there. british mead brazil i can't reporting this individual -- media is reporting that this individual is unknown as a hostage, but they believe he's an aid worker. there's a clear warning from the executioner that any nation who's join a u.s.-led coalition, this will be more executions to follow. so again, this is down and out propaganda. and it's used to try and change the policy here in the united states. >> is there any way that this is -- assuming this video to be authentic, assuming it to be an american, do we know when about this happened? >>'s not clear from the video at least to our eyes when it was shot. when you do a comparison of steven sotloff in the video posted today and then the foley video from two weeks ago, it does seem that some time has elapsed because in the second video, sotloff has more of a stubble, a beard, and his hair is a little longer. but the thang has the attention -- thing that has attention of investigators is they seem to be
learning from their mistakes. this video is shot at a slightly different angle. it's harder to see whether the executioner is, in fact, the same british citizen. and the voice of the executioner is somewhat treated or modulated so it's harder to discern who it belongs to. >> katherine, thank you. >> thank you. after president obama admitted he does not yet have a strategy, at least not yet, to deal with isis in syria, senator john mccain insisting the time to confront isis is now. senator john mccain joins us. good evening. >> good evening. >> isis, what are we going to do about it? >> kill them. they've got to be destroyed, and you've got to have a goal, the president does, and we have to have a strategy to fit that goal and policies that will implement it. we have none of the above. the president incredibly the other day said that the world is messy and it's social networking that -- that to me was one of most unbelievable comments ever
made. but first of all, we have to understand that isis obliterated the boundary between iraq and syria. you've got to go after them in both places, and you can't do it with half measures. you need use full weight of american air power that will require some more boots and support on the ground. and it can succeed. we can stop them. finally, greta, all this didn't have to happen. we could have left a force behind in iraq that would have stabilized iraq. we are paying an incredible price for the president's fleeting from behind, whether it be in iraq, syria, libya, or a number of countries in the middle east. we are seeing the chickens coming home to roost. >> a little more salt in the wound if we'd also help finance a free syrian army, the moderates who might not have seen isis become so spread in syria -- >> hillary clinton described already the meeting in the white
house over two years ago. everyone in the national security team recommended arming isis. the president by himself turned it down just like by himself he decided ton strike syria after -- decided not to strike syria after he said they crossed the red line. there's no credibility. if the president and john mccain keep talking about coalitions, how are you going to form coalition with people who do not trust you? who know are you totally unreliable? first there has to be restoration of american credibility. >> i haven't seen democrats come out in support of president obama's policy. i'm not sure what the policy is. he admitted no strategy in syria. so i'm not sure what there is to support. i think everyone's in a big mystery this. but it almost seemed like -- like general dempsey and secretary of defense hagel when they were so strong on syria, it almost seemed they were going rogue because the president wasn't in town, and now they is dialled it back a little. >> they were reeled back in.
that's the why president gave the press conference that he did. maybe some folks were little bit out here too far. look, 192,000 people slaughtered in syria, and this is a -- this world is a messy world. i mean, i have to tell you -- i've told you this before, i'm heartbroken about what's happened in syria. and we have to stop isis, not stop them but we have to defeat them. there's no dmooubt in my mine o anyone else's that we have to defeat them. we don't know of a specific threat, spokesmen say. we don't know of a specific threat, but i have known no national security expert that doesn't believe they are going to pose a direct threat because that's what they're capable of doing. >> what do you think the president's thinking? >> i think that he's trying to stick to his campaign, two campaigns, 2008, 2012, where he
said here going to lead from behind, we're going to get out of everywhere, and there's going to be this tide of wars recedi g receding. bash ar al assad, it's not whether but when he leaves power. you can go through the long list of things the president said and stood for which have been completely wrong. and as you and i have discussed before, bill clinton changed his strategy, jimmy carter changed him, george w. bush changed his after seeing that we were failing in iraq. he can, too. apparently he -- i don't understand because the facts on the ground dictate it. could i say one word about ukraine? if we do not help ukrainians, there's going to be a worse slaughter, a land bridge to crime a and moldova. we will not give the ukrainians sensitive intelligence
information or supply weapons. maybe the germans may be -- i'm grateful for the germans for the first time in a long time. >> do you think he has a plan or strategy, just not telling us? or do you think he has no plan and is winging it? >> there are plans developed in the pentagon, the cia, the state department. i know for a fact there's all kinds of plans out there -- >> can't make a decision? >> just like there are targets that they could have struck if he wanted to. it's up to the president to decide to turn -- it pull the trigger. -- to pull the trigger. obviously he's not ready to do. that that's a shame. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. today, fox news confirming disturbing new information about what president obama knew about isis and more importantly when he knew about it. turns out the president has been getting daily briefings on this barbaric terrorist group for at least a full year. [ chanting ] [ gunfire ] >> a forward pentagon official described the intelligence to fox news contained in the
president's daily brief as specific and detailed, adding there was only one conclusion that could be drawn by the data by policymakers that a situation was bad. >> this isn't new. this isn't something that took us by surprise in the last month. >> the clock didn't start with the-- with the beheading of the american journalist. >> this president is very cautious. maybe in this instance too cautious. >> president obama in my view is derelict in his duty as commander in chief to get ahead of this threat to our homeland. >> his foreign policy's in absolute free fall. >> and former u.n. ambassador john bolton joins us. good evening. >> glad to be here. >> it turns out, the president said -- hate to keep pounding him for that january j.v. comment, but it's profoundly sires that the president of the united states -- serious that the president of the united states thinks about people who are enemies to the nation. he said it was j.v. it wasn't just an intelligence failure, he was getting
information, knew for six or eight month before that. >> i think it's a real question whether he knew about. the pdb, the president's daily book, is a brief that a number of top officials get. we ought twon high degree of confidence what it said over that period of time. i have a feeling that the president simply wasn't paying attention not just on isis and other threats in the region, but a whole variety of threats. i don't think he is that interested in american national security. i don't think it's a priority to him. i think he got the pdb, other intelligence, and paid no attention to it. >> how could you not? really? think of -- that's -- you know, the horrible grew up oup didn't become horrible two weeks ago. >> i think it's because of their mentality, ideology. a view of the world that says terrorism is not a threat, it's a localized matter. and therefore, we don't have to worry about it in terms of american national security. and this is not just obama.
this is a large chunk of the leadership of the democratic party. let me read a quotation from john kerry in october of 2003. in the middle of a democratic party debate, he says, "this war on terror is far less of a military operation and far more of an intelligence gathering, law enforcement operation." if your view is that it's not a war, then information that challenges that is simply going to be repressed. that's what they're doing. >> i mean, i hate to stick secretary kerry with something that was said 11 years ago, you know. but -- >> he's kept that view since then. >> i mean, i'm more -- i guess i'm more worried about the fact that in the last year that there's alarming intelligence. and anybody looking at it should be -- you know, should be alarmed. >> well, that's because they judge the nature of a terrorist threat only to include the possibility of a direct attack on the united states imminently. everything else they try and define away. that's how they're able to focus on core al qaeda.
>> the first time it goes off is direct attack on the united states. beheading americans, isn't that a direct attack on america? >> of course it is. i'm describing president obama's ideolo ideology. >> what does he think -- >> i didn't notice he issued a statement today. i don't know that he's told the pentagon to did anything. he said less than a week ago he didn't have a strategy for dealing with isis in syria, a remarkable statement in and of itself. i just don't think he is interested in or spends the time necessary to understand the environment on the ground. and therefore, to develop a strategy. >> it's getting bigger. it is getting -- isis isgrowi growing. isis is rich, executing a second american in ten days. we're not sure of the dates. they've threatened a brit. they have a video of a brit. there's no reason to think they're not going to do that to this british journalist. >> and others captured in the middle east -- >> they've slaughtered thousands of others.
>> the issue for obama is at what point reality overcomes his ideology. does he have the mental agility to change his position? one of the few thing john maynard canes said that i agreed with, well, when the facts change, i change my mind. what do you do? that's the question that's open on obama. we don't know that he's capable of changing his mind. >> thank you, issue is sir. british prime minister david cameron announcing new anti-terror measures for great britain. the prime minister cracking down to prevent british terrorists who are fighting for isis from returning to the u.k. he also has a plan for those extremists already in the u.k. -- they are not going anywhere if prime minister cameron has anything to do with it. >> we must use our aid, diplomacy, and military. we need a firm security response, whether military action to go after terrorists, international cooperation on
intelligence, or uncompromising action against terrorists at home. mr. speaker, passports are not an automatic right. the homeland secretary has discretion to issue, revoke, and refuse possports if there is -- passports if there is reason to believe people are planning to take part in terrorist-related activity. >> and foreign policy researcher for former prime minister margaret thatcher and is director of the thatcher nature for freedom. how do you compare and contrast the statements between british prime minister cram ron and miami? >> there's a -- cameron and president obama? >> there's a huge contrast. david cameron has demonstrated real leadership. in contrast, barack obama has been extremely weak-kneed, clueless at times, really terribly indecisive. and i think the british prime minister has demonstrateded scn clear-cut measures against isis and jihadist, moving from
britain, europe, and the united states, as well. but david cameron comes across as a self-assured leader who understands the very nature of the threat being faced by the west. he's identified the poisonous ideology of militant islam and says we have to defeat it and crush it. in contrast with barack obama, he openly says he has no strategy, and i think there is a president who really could learn a great deal from the way in which the british prime minister david cameron is addressing the issue. >> it wasn't your national executed by isis, it was ours, our second american journalist. he said, if verified -- he goes on milk to say something consol my thoughts and prayers are with the family. and he also says, makes a statement and goes on and says, "we've been working hard to keep british people safe and will continue to do all we can." he talks about how he's doing what he can to protect the brits. we've heard nothing from our president today.
>> exactly. that's how a real leader sbonds responds in a cries. president obama should have -- responds in a crisis. president obama should have immediately issued a condemnation. >> are the brits content with the way david cameron is addressing this? >> there's support in which the prime minister is addressing this situation. and the british public wants to see tough measures against the jihadists, against isis, as well. i think the image of president obama has been in decline for some time, not only in britain but across much of europe. there is a sense that this is a president who doesn't know how to lead. there's no real confidence in barack obama's leadership on the world stage. and this is a president who really -- a lot of the time is -- seems to be highly confused, doesn't know what he's doing. that, of course, undermines and weaken the image of the united states on the world stage. >> you know, i'm hoping we just don't know what goats on behind
closed doors -- who goes on behind closed doors. i'm hoping he spoke to david cameron, with the brits being our friends and having a common goal, i'm hoping we've got it wrong. that he looks disinterested, and i'm hoping that he's got a great relationship with the prime minister and they're working on something. >> unfortunately, i think this is a president who has invested very little in internationalal lines. he doesn't spend a lot of times leaders. he's got to set up an international coalition to confront isis. there's very little faith and confidence in barack obama on the world stage. that's a real problem. >> can british prime minister david cameron sets off that sdmoelgz. >> i think that prime minister david cameron is basically stepping into the role as a major international leader at the moment. but the united states and great britain must work together to lead an international coalition to confront isis. at this time, the u.s. president, i think, is missing in action. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. listen to this -- president obama saying the world's always
been messy. we're just noticing now in part because of social media. what did the president mean by that? our panelists here next. plus, sergeant tahmooressi news coming up. ne and u'll see just how much it has to offer, especially if you're thinking of moving an old 401(k) to a fidelity ira. it gives you a widrange of investment options... and the free help you need to make sure your investments fit your goals -- and what you're really investing for. tap into the full power of your fidelity green line. call today and we'll make it easy to move that old 401(k) to a fidelity rollover ira.

we're seeing the terror, the cruelty with our own eyes. isis beheading american journalist. listen, while acknowledging the barbarity of isis and crisis in ukraine, president obama saying, "the world's always been messy. we're just noticing now in part because of social media." joining, abc news political director, rick kline, ""fortune" director, and rich mccormack.
first, it's just social media why it's always been messy. >> i don't think that's the case. i don't think his own cabinet secretaries would agree. i think if you ask his defense secretary, his u.n. ambassador, they'll talk about the hot spots. people are nervous, certainly allies are nervous. you look at what the british are saying at the same times that president obama is saying this. i understand the sentiment. i think that a lot of what his view is is that we are learning about things more quickly, and they seem more urgent because of the big spread in social media. but there have been revolutions in this world for centuries and centuries, millennia, that have nothing to do with social media. there's always going to be bad actors. there's no question we're at a more tense time now independent of what we're learning via social media. >> you know, when you position what he said -- this was done at a dnc barbecue where it cost $15,000 to get in. the republicans throw expensive barbecues, too. when you position that against his june of '09 speech in cairo about the new beginning in the muslim world -- and the muslim world isn't blowing up. >> again, wishful thinking diplomacy on his part.
this -- this latest thing about social media, put it right in a line with saying isis was just like another j.v. terrorist player. it's right in line with him saying, well, the middle east has always been a problem. it's anow, but no worse than it ever was. he's trying to distance himself, play it down. all these months he's gotten intel report raising alarms did isis, all the time while isis is building a country the size of jordan and taking over banks and dams and oil fields and building a huge financial structure. and as rick alluded to, you even have chuck hagel, his defense secretary, not exactly a hawkish guy saying that isis is like nothing we've ever seen before. similarly, samantha powers has been alarmist about this. so for the president to sit back like this is truly troubling. >> but what is he thinking? i mean, he's blaming this -- the world is -- maybe he doesn't
think the world is falling apart, but he may be the only once in that instance. there is certainly incredible things going in the world. he said, it's not i have failed to lead or that, you know, that i'm doing these things. it's -- it's always somebody else. he's never -- never says, "i'm the president. the buck stops here." >> it's possible that he is just cynically downplaying the fact that the world is falling apart by saying, it's no big deal, the media is making it look like the world is falling apart. i think more frighteningly, the truth is i think he believes it. because of his reluctance to act would only be explained pie the fact that he believes -- by the fact he believes this is run of the mill. the world's always been messy. he doesn't take into account that isis is, as david cameron said, more dangerous. they just took over an air field, jets, missiles. if al qaeda took over an air field, i think we would realize they have to be bombed and bombed now. >> there's another point that g didn't get as much attention.
he said isis is a draw for men who don't have jobs and economic opportunity. i'm sorry, it's the draw -- sdrau islamic fanaticism. we saw from 9/11, these were not people who couldn't get jobs. these were educated people. and it's -- that's not the problem. >> what happened? what happened between june of '09 when he was going to have the new beginning with the muslim world and now where we have libya, syria, iraq, with the whole -- everything blowing up? >> an uncanny series of problems new york stock exchange some cas -- series of problems. in some cases -- narrowly his comments in a setting like this are to calm people down, once you get to the fevered pitch. john is on to something. he views this through a bigger historical lens. he want? as concerned as members of his cabinet, a lot of his allies are at this moment. >> he thinks the tide of war is receding. as cameron said, no, we're in the middle of a generational struggle against islamist fanaticism. he said -- he's obsessed with
the idea of being a president brought to power to end the war in iraq and afghanistan. he doesn't realize that the enemy gets to decide whether the war is over or not. >> stay with us. as another american journalist is beheaded by the savages, new warnings that isis will reach the homeland soon.

[ kevin ] really? ♪ america watches in horror as isis beheads a second american, also a journalist. and now there are new warnings that isis could strike here in
the united states and soon. >> this is a direct threat to the united states of america. that it may be one of the biggest we have ever faced. >> these groups, they don't need any excuse. they will attack whenever they can. >> they have announced that they don't intend to stop. they have announced that they will come after us if they can, that they will "spill our blood." >> this is a threat that we are monitoring. it's one that we have been focused on for some time. >> the united states is always the main target of these terrorist organizations. >> they will hit us at home. >> and the king of saudi arabia warning that the terrorists will reach europe in one month, and america in another month. our next guest has been investigating isis, author william forsten, joins us. good evening. >> good evening. a pleasure to be with you even on this sad day. >> it is extremely sad. so disheartening to americans. we just went through this a couple of days ago. still haven't recovered. and we're back at it again. sir, looking at -- at isis,
terrorists in the united states, you have to get in a passport, get that and get the means in here. are there soft targets here that we need to worry about? >> i wrote the book "day of wrath" for that reason. isis are masters of social media and terrorism. in my book, i outline a scenario of calling for the soft target. what are the soft targets in our culture? american schools. american churches. american synagogues. isis murderers will not stop simply because there's a sign on the door saying "no gun zone." we have to rethink the security of our schools immediately. they're already inside this country. >> who's in charge? who's the leader of isis? >> he was actually a p.o.w. for a while, then we let him go which i find absolutely amazing. he currently define himself as the khalif. why i wrote "day of wrath" is i became concerned as a history
professor and teacher that everything isis has said they are going to do they have done. they make the nazis, they make stalins and kbd look like amateurs in comparison. there are things i know, greta, you've seen that you cannot show the american public. i researched it while i worked on "day of wrath." it is frightening. >> the only choice is to eliminate them. we're not going reason with them? we're not going deal with them there's no bargaining. these are savages, right? >> do you bargain with satan? >> i called them savages. i don't think we can bargain. how did we eliminate them? i mean, how do we do that? >> i'm deeply disturbed. i'm old enough to recall in 1962 when we confronted a crisis in cuba, the president of the united states, jack kennedy, laid out a clear policy on day one. we have a strategy. either this or else. i was horrified on the weak my book "day of wrath" came out
when our leader said he has no strategy s. that not a message to come and get us? we have to take the war to them. >> do you think he was talking about -- he was talking about syria. do you think that he was being candid or misspoke? or do we have no strategy? does he not see the seriousness of isis? and getting snois iraq is not going to -- isis in iraq is not going to solve the problem. they're growing in syria. >> there's no room for a president of the united states to misspeak. especially to the world, especially when we're facing isis. you and i have both seen video of them decapitating children. the murderous regime that they're imposing, and they have promised they will bring it here. king of saudi arabia has warned us, i see at least flip great britain is doing something about. that's why i wrote "day of wrath." >> president obama calls it isis, is there -- have we figured out why we're using different words, isil? >> let's just call them murderous thugs. >> there's no -- we shouldn't
read anything into it that the media stays with s.e.a.l. aisis president uses isill? means nothing? >> nothing other than we have to eliminate them because they are inside the united states. we heard clear warnings from our elected representatives. they are coming, and they are masters of asymmetrical warfare. >> is their goal only a caliphate, or is the goal to reach into the united states? if they had the caliphate would that be the end of it, or they want blood? >> it's a terrible scenario, but their interpretation of the koran, the ultimate goal is the infidel is dead and their religion is supreme. there is no room for compromise with these people anymore. there's no co-existence. >> william, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. and where is president obama today as video surfaced of isis claiming to behead another american? i'll tell you what i think off the record next. and sergeant tahmooressi has

let's go off the record for a minute. what is going on with president obama? the job of the president is to be the leader in times of distress to console, times of attack. tell us what he is going do. give the nation direction, make the nation feel secure, but that's not what happened today. a second american journalist gets beheaded on video, viciously posted on the internet d. we hear from the president? nope. instead the white house sends out staffers for briefings where they are obviously going to be asked about it. first, white house press secretary josh earnest, then state department spokesperson jen saki, finally pentagon press secretary john kirby. really? that's what the nation hears from first on this barbaric execution of an american? with that attitude, you have to wonder, why send a staffer out? why not just grab an intern to send out.
not to be dismissive of staffers, but i think it's appalling. it's the president's job. the president should make a statement to the american people. this is a war. if president obama was not ready to talk at that moment he could at least release a statement saying he will address the nation in a few hours or that he wants more information, anything, to indicate to the american people he's on it. instead, we get a press pool report at 4:00 p.m. announcing his departure for europe aboard air force one. incredible. we need to hear from our president. that's my "off the record" comment. and our political panelists back. rick cline, sheena easton, and john mccormack. john, am i right? >> i think you're right. the president is supposed to come out in times like these and reassure the nation and steel our resolve. when the president has spoken he's given bad statements like we don't have a strategy. who spoke after the last terrorist attack -- let's be clear, this was a terrorist attack -- you know, he says things like, "people like this ultimately fail because the
future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy." platitudes rather than saying we need destroy them, this is what we're going to do to defeat them. that was the contrast between david cameron and the president. it was striking. >> my colleague, dana perino, who was a white house secretary disagrees. she said i was wrong. i stopped listen, she's got experience. >> i was going to say i think you're wrong, too. >> all right. i never do like the women on the panel. >> i think standing out in front of a camera as -- right after a terrorist beheading shows the terrorists got your goat. i don't think that he needs to descend to that level. that said, he does need to be addressing the public, the american public, with a sense of urgency and a strategy. and yes, a strategy that builds on a new iraqi government, as they want. and yes, a strategy that builds on alliances. but this has to be a sense of urgency and not a sense that
we're just going to go after isis because of humanitarian reasons, there's refugees on a mountain, not just because there's americans trapped. because it's a clear and present danger to the united states. that's why i think it's one. i don't think this of the right moment. >> i'll go to rick on this. prime minister david cameron did come out right away and said if verified this is a despicable and barbaric murder. he goes on to say, you know, kind thoughts to the family. i hope the president called the sotloff family. he says, "we've been working hard to keep british people safe and will continue to do what we can to protect our country and people from these terrorists." he goes on to say what he's going to do, rick. i don't know. i'm waiting for the president to make me feel better about these things and secure. i did want to hear from him. >> i think what's striking is he was so firm in coming out a couple of weeks ago in the immediate aftermath. there was a visceral anger even though he took criticism for going to the golf course afterward. i think the strategy comment from last week is still stinging the white house. i think there's a sense that the next time the president addresses this he has to make
that right, and to say what the strategy is going to be, that's a big focus of the europe trip, estonia, and wales for the nato summit. it's about the united states showing leadership and developing that strategy along with allies. i think that becomes critical. i think the silence today was noticeable because of what happened a few weeks ago and because people were paying attention to this. >> what about having the secretary of defense come out or something? someone saying? . it was staffers that told -- someone saying something. it was staffers that told us. these are smart staffers, ton take from them, but this is a war on america. these are two americans executed by these thugs. terrorist attacks. just we'll get to it later? >> the president seems to disagree with even his top staffers. the secretary of defense when he said this is a threat that needs to be defeated, they walked it back and said, no, woe don't need to attack -- no, we don't need to attack in syria. president obama said isis doesn't pose an imminent threat to the homeland. and the deputy dirtor said he
wouldn't be surprised if a terrorist shows up in a mall with an ak-47. >> nina, based on the history and why i disagree, i want hip to say, i got it, i'm on it, i'm aware of it. instead not saying anything and going -- to me is -- >> because again, it's part of this -- as rick said, part of thisairative whe-- this narrati where he doesn't have a strategy. a, you're looking for a sense of outrage, which is totally right. you're looking for a sense that he's doing something, a strategy. i would add a sense of we should be more hyper woraware because the threats in the homeland. this is real. that's what you're looking for, absolutely you're right on that front. >> i hope that i got it wrong and behind the scenes, before he got on air force one, he issued all these orders. and they're special a very rude awakening in the area of the world now. that's what i'm hoping that i got that wrong. panel, thank you. >> thank you. and sergeant tahmooressi jailed in mexico for five months. news from the white house. well sort of.

i don't think he want to deal with isis. i don't think he wants to deal with a jailed marine in mexico. >> well, the petition says that the answer from the white house says among other things that their goal is to see that he's treated fairly during the judicial process. i hope that's true of every american. it says that mexican authorities have been willing to engage on the issue. that's an invitation. why don't we talk more and engage? he says will continue to monitor the case and work with the mexican authorities as it proceeds through the system. it's a -- the statement says absolutely nothing, gives nothing -- and i understand that, you know, american get into trouble in foreign countries. this is a guy who did two tours in afghanistan. he's a marine. and we owe him something to push it through a little faster. >> yeah. there is something special about this case. andrew wasn't down on spring break drinking and got into a fight. he made a mistake, he's a decorated war hero and has post tram 'tis stress. all that -- traumatic stress. all that said, if the president would make a call, the media --
especially you and fox news in general and my office -- we're the ones who discovered the 911 tapes from andrew back to the 911 operator here in san diego. we're the ones that have been doing a lot of this research and gathering evidence on our end for fernando benitez, andrew's lawyer in mexico. we're working in a vacuum. we ought to have help from the state department and the administration. we could probably help him a lot more if they were more interested and more engaged. >> but you know, it sends a message to all our military. that's the problem -- these guys are volunteers, these men and women. these are volunteers. and i realize this isn't afghanistan or iraq where he is, but it's like, you know, we do owe them something, you know. and that's what i don't get. let me ask you, governor chris christie is headed to mexico this week on a trade mission. he wants to run for president in 2016. should he bring up sergeant tahmooressi to the mexican authorities while he's there? >> absolutely. everybody going down should bring this up. every single person, every
elected representative or business person that has a business in mexico that probably ships goods back up to the u.s. they should all bring it up to the mexican government and mexican counterparts. let's take this longer and look at benghazi. we had a situation where we had men on the ground. and this approximatepresident d to care. this is a different situation, but the president's coming off as detached and uncaring, which i think he is. >> all i know is this is a judicial process, had it been accelerated, i did the driving myself. i'm not even saying ask mexico to release him. i've said accelerate the process. any decent judge and prosecutor looking at the case will see how ridiculous this turn was. and you've got the 911 call that your office produced which he says he accidentally drove in, and that he had weapons in his car, legally in the u.s. to say, this is just -- it's unbelievable. i'm taking the last word on this because it's -- we're running out of time. unbelievable that he's still there. anyway, congressman, thank you for all your work on this.

get ready to speed read your way through the news. tonight, joan rivers remains on life support at a new york city hospital. a new statement, her daughter melissa confirming rivers is on life support and saying the family is extremely grateful for all support they have received. last thursday, rivers was rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing during a procedure at a doctor's office. and again, another fight over leg room forcing pilots to divert a flight. this time, a delta airlines flight from new york to palm beach. it was diverted to jacksonville, florida. it started when one passenger reclined her seat, and the woman behind her started yelling. then the woman started swearing
at the flight attendants and demanding the flight land and so it did. this is the third flight disruption in recent time over reclining seats. and now to the latest in the celebrity hacking investigation. apple now says some celebrity accounts were deliberately targeted leading to the postings of nude photos on line. photos of several celebrities including scar-winning jennifer lawrence ended up on the internet. apple says only individual accounts were compromised, there was no general breach of its systems. and a florida judge made famous by the casey anthony trial was retiring. now judge belvin perry is headed back to the courtroom but not as a judge but as a lawyer. judge perry is headed into private practice. he says he's looking forward to trying cases again, and that's tonight's "speed read." thanks for being with us. see you tomorrow here at 7:00 p.m. eastern. a reminder -- if you are just tuning in before bill o'reilly, pick up your dvr remote and set a recording for "on the record" each night. now go to gretawire.com. answer this question -- do you

"hardball" starts right now. just bomb the place and tell us about it later. this is "hardball." ♪ ♪ good evening i'm chris matthews in washington. you heard it right, that's the attitude of many on capitol hill according to one of them. the president should just go to war with isis terrorists and tell us about it later? how about the constitution that puts that authority in the u.s.
congress. why elect people to congress if they don't decide which wars we fight. what happened to the republicans out there charging president obama with exceeding his authority? did they want him to check with them on the big questions or not? isn't the decision to go to war a big question? is it worth having a vote on? give me a single reason why the u.s. congress should not have to vote on yet another war? joining me, two congressmen from california. should the u.s. congress vote on whether we go to war with isis? >> absolutely. the president is talking about a mul multi-year campaign against isis. this is the thing congress should vote on. we ought to limit what the president can do and what he can't do. it ought to have a sunset date. i hope that's what we'll do in the next two weeks. >> should there be a vote on whether we go to war.
>> 535 of us raised our right hand and swore to uphold the constitution. the constitution says congress are the representatives of the people. they'll decide whether we go to war or not. absolutely, we have to vote. it's our responsibility. we represent the people of the united states. it's a decision for the people to make through our vote. we must vote. this is a big deal. it's our responsibility. the president has already started that process under the war powers act. he's notified congress that he's taking military action. those first steps, that sets in place the 60-day clock. that 60-day clock right now says we have to vote by october 7th. >> what about the substance, would you support a resolution which included the use of special forces on the ground? >> well, i don't want to see major ground troops -- >> no, special ops. people working with the free syrian army. like we used in afghanistan in
the beginning. >> you know, i support what we're doing on the ground in iraq now and we have military advisers that are trying to give us good intelligence, trying to help train the iraqi forces, helping us be more precise in our strikes. i don't think we're there yet in syria, chris. we don't have the same ground capability that we have in the peshmerga to work with. so i think it's premature to be talking about air strikes in syria or boots on the ground of any sort in syria. and this means that it's going to be a very challenging issue in terms of drafting an authorization. but without a force that can hold ground in syria, if we displace isis through air strikes, does it mean alnewsra moves in? assad's forces move in? until we can answer those questions, i don't think we ought to be contemplating a major air campaign in syria. >> so you don't nt to go into syria, just iraq?
>> it would have to be narrowly drawn as it pertains to syria. if we discovered there was an active cell in syria, posing an imminent threat to the united states, that's something where it would be appropriate for us to take action -- >> how do we stop them from beheading our people? they're in syria, beheading our people. how do you stop that if you don't go into syria itself where they're beheading us? >> it's very difficult without having a major military force there, to be able to rescue those hostages or prevent other hostages from being taken. but at the same time, we have to ask ourselves, are we willing to have another major occupation of a muslim country, and is that in the best long-term interests of the united states? i don't think it is. and we shouldn't be provoked by these acts, as horrific as they are, into doing things that will be ultimate lly be counterproductive? >> do we go into syria with special forces and whatever units we have to?
>> i think special forces, if they do the rescue operation that ultimately fails, i think that's appropriate. to go in and work with a syrian group, assuming we can figure out which one. no. i think there's something we can do in syria, find out where mr. baghdadi is, and put in his back pocket a hell-fire missile. that's a possibility we ought to keep open and available to us. i know we're into another country. i know mr. assad is there and all that goes with that. but i think we have, as we have in pakistan, the necessity of taking out these leaders wherever they may be around the world. if it's in somalia or pakistan, wherever, take them out in a limited way. so this resolution that's going to come up for a vote needs to be very, very carefully crafted. i don't want to see renewed heavy duty military operations, such as we saw in iraq and afghanistan. no way.
but limited, the real secret here or answer, lies in making sure we have a coalition. we have to make sure that the surrounding countries, iraq, turkey, the gulf states, jordan, and others, are working together. they're the ones that are ultimately going to have to carry this fight and occupy the ground just as mr. shif suggested a few moments ago. it's up to them to occupy particularly iraq. >> it's interesting you both believe we should have a vote and you decide on this issue. a republican from georgia, he told the "new york times" today that neither his democratic nor his republican colleagues want a vote. quote, a lot of people would like to stay on the sideline and say, just bomb the place and tell us about it later. it's an election year, a lot of democrats don't know how it would play in their party. and republicans don't want to change anything, like the path we're on now. we can denounce it if it goes
bad and praise it if it goes well. so there a cynical view by a republican. and i don't think there's anything wrong with congressman kingston, maybe a well founded view politically. but he's saying, you guys make the decision in the white house and we'll decide whether to shoot at it or not. >> chris, there are people on both sides of the aisle that would be happy not to have to vote on this. but the reality is, this is part of our constitutional responsibility. if we're not willing to do it, we don't belong here. so i think this is something that is difficult, as painful as it is, and as risky politically as it may be, this is something we need to do. and if we don't, frankly, we in congress have only ourselves to blame if congress in the institutional scheme of things becomes even more diminished as an institution. >> take a look at this. i want you to respond to this poll. wall street journal poll shows
the country is supportive for action against isis. one reason might be the impact of the beheading videos. 6 out of 10 americans say they've seen the coverage of james foley and steven sotloff. the biggest story is the beheadings. as a result, 61% of the american people say, taking military action against isis in iraq and syria is in the national interest. what exactly should that look like? 40% of americans say they would support only air strikes. 34% would support air strikes and combat troops on the ground. so in total at least, 3/4 say they would support at least air strikes. your thinking about that, congressman gar mendy? >> i think they have not fully considered all of the factors involved. the extraordinary cost of the afghanistan war, the terrible outcome of the iraq war. we need to be very measured, very deliberate, and very, very
careful. but we do need to vote. the law says we need to vote. the constitution says we need to vote. we didn't come here to play chicken. we came here to do our job, and that means we have to vote. we have to be very careful as we construct a resolution that will authorize the president to carry on an appropriate level of military action. i am not in any way going to vote to move back into iraq with heavy duty troops as we have in the past. air strikes, okay, we have the advisers on the ground. that's enough for me. realize this solution here does not lie in american military presence in this area. we've done that. we did it for a decade. it didn't work. we need to make sure that the countries surrounding this area, they're the ones that have the real risk here. we do have risks, no doubt about it. but the real risk lies in the countries around it. they need to put the troops on the ground.
the iraq government needs to get its act together. that's in process. new prime minister, a new cabinet in place. and hopefully they'll reach out and try to heal the wounds of the divisions that malachi put in over the last six, seven years. so there's work to be done, but we have our job to do. we cannot and should not duck this responsibility. and when we do this, full debate, maybe the american public will have a better understanding of how this can have a good outcome rather than an outcome and go down the path that we did with the first and the second iraq war. >> okay, thanks so much. coming up, my interview with u.s. senator jill brand of new york. we'll talk about the two big stories of the day. whether the senate should have a vote on whether we go to war against isis. and violence against women, like the kind in the videotape that cost ray rice his job. the national football league is
facing big questions tonight. what did they know and when did they know it? for one, they knew about the earlier tape showing rice dragging his fiancee's limp body out of the elevator. that should have been all they needed to fire him. plus the police report. plus tonight battle for the control of the senate. despite the doom sayers, some good democratic candidates are giving some reasons for their party to stay in power. and finally the constitutional responsibility for congress to vote for a war or against it. this is "hardball," a place for politics.
[laughs] when we're having this much fun, why quit? and bounty has no quit in it either. watch how one sheet of bounty keeps working, while their two sheets, just quit. bounty, the no-quit picker-upper. >> tonight the city council in ferguson missouri is meeting for the first time since the death of michael brown. the council will announce the creation of a new review board to improve relations between the police department and the community. the death of michael brown last month set off violent protests and city leaders vowed to hire more african american police officers and improve outreach
between the city and its citizens. 70% of whom are african american. we'll be right back. ffee into a. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side.
we're back and joining us right now is the rising star in democratic politics today, senator jill brand from new york. the arthur of a hot new book, off the sidelines. the story everyone's talking about, speaks directly to abuse of women that you've tried to legislate about. i'm talking about the images of ray rice and the lack of interest by the nfl leadership, especially commissioner roger goodell. as multiple people pointed out, goodell had the evidence that rice knocked out his fiancee. there was a police report which said he struck her. the original video shows him dragging her on to the floor from the elevator. that was all out there.
now there's more palpable anger about it, that he feared public opinion and looked the other way. calls for his resignation have begun. what does this tell us about the accountability or lack thereof in protecting women? >> it's part of a big story and a long story. certainly the nfl got this wrong. it's outrageous. it's disgraceful. he needs to be punished. and i think there needs to be accountability. but it is part of this larger issue of, how are women treated in society? we have sexual assault on college campuses with no transparency. we have huge challenges in the military. that's why these issues need to be raised and we need to hear women's voices when we begin to advocate for change. >> what about the guy, it's a male at the top, roger goodell. he knew this person had been knocked out by the male in this case. should he have said something then, rather than waiting for the full tape to be released that we're looking at now? it seems like they're only reacting to the public
disclosure, not to the reality? >> i think that's right. that's what you see time and time again. in cases like this, in many areas. we know he admitted to beating his wife and that he dragged her out of an elevator well in advance. he should have been suspended then and fired. it's really an issue of a conduct and a behavior that's criminal, that there should be no tolerance for in any setting. and we need better accountability. our football players are role models for our kids. we need to make sure that they're held to a higher standard, and at least a standard of accountability that should have been done here. >> here's janay palmer, by the way, then fiancee at the time. she wrote, no one knows the pain that the media and unwanted options from the public has caused my family. to take something away from the man i love, that he has worked for his whole life. this is our whole. know we will continue to grow and show the world what real
love is. how do you explain that? you can't get particular with her. but why would a woman who has been knocked out cold, dragged across the floor and kicked around to get her out of the elevator, to say later, this is what real love's about or something? how do you explain that syndrome? >> one of the challenges we face in the military context and the college campus context, you have to define this behavior as the crime that it is. college campuses, when you say rape, it's just a college prank, its not serious. oh, they had too much to drink. no, these are brutal crimes. these are crimes of violence, crimes of domination, and if you don't call them for the crimes that they are, you don't have the justice and accountability that you desperately need. so you see it in all these instances where we're not looking at these action as the crimes they are. it's a problem. it's a larger societal problem and it's about how we value women and how we value women in
society. we don't see enough justice. >> do you sense there's something changing about women in leadership? let's go to the top. your name is mentioned a lot and elizabeth warren's name and skret clinton, i think most people think she's the probable nominee if she runs for president next time. what is it that's come? is it an idea who's time has come? is it like stufforage the last part of the century? what's happening because i think the glass ceiling may be notching up several floors right now. >> one of the things i talk about in the book, we need to break the highest glass ceiling. i'm supporting hillary in 2016, i think he'll be great. but women's role in the workplace, how do you help women get off the sticky floor? stop this continuation of women being pulled down into the lowest wage jobs over and over again. so it's part of this broader conversation of how do we
support women in the workplace? and part of it is getting women to the corporate boards, on the school board, and hillary clinton running and winning the presidency. >> let's go to isis for a moment. a decision a lot of members of congress are trying to duck. do you believe that you as a united states senator should have a role here whether we go after isis militarily? >> i do. i think there are certain things the president can do on his own. there are actions he can take to protect u.s. personnel, embassies, et cetera. but if this is going to be a long and protracted assault on isis, that's going to be multi. faceted, over many years, there's a role for congress to play. i know we're war weary as a country, but this is a serious threat and it must be addressed. isis is fast-moving, it has me tafticized, it has a lot of resources. it's a threat on our interests. we do need to engage and i think there's a role for congress to
play, especially as our strategies and as our approach begins to shift and change. we will have a necessary role. >> well, our nbc poll tonight reports that the number one news story in the last five years was the beheadings of those americans in the last couple weeks. they're horrific. my question, when it comes to how we fight this, everybody seems to be for air attacks, strikes, drone attacks, then you get the boots on the ground and everybody's against that. but what about the central question? should we send in special forces to support the moderate opposition groups there like the free syrian army? >> in syria, that's a far more complex issue. you know, i've met with the opposition leaders at many stages as they've shifted. and the biggest national security interest for the united states in syria has always been the presence of severe chemical weapons that can be sold to terrorist groups, used against americans and american allies.
so the issue has always been, how do we lock down and destroy those chemical weapons? when i was talking to opposition leaders, they wouldn't even make a deal with the u.s. to say, the minute a sad falls, we get to go in and destroy those weapons, because they were against u.s. forces and coalition forces doing that. so it's a really complex mission as to what missions we would do in syria, but we have a national interest in making sure the chemical weapons are destroyed. we don't know if we've gotten them all and assad is a horrible man who's used chemical weapons against his open people. but what tactics we use is a serious issue and i'm eager to hear what president obama says on wednesday. he'll lay out his strategy for isil and iraq and if and what he could want to do with regard to syria. >> a political question.
i want your view. you got about six weeks now to save the senate. how do you do it? >> i think we'll win. i think our candidates are great. i've been really focused on helping a lot of the women candidates. outstanding candidates. a bunch of challengers, alison grimes, michelle nun, natalie tenant. it's exciting. i think these are tough races to win, but our candidates are strong and i'm optimistic. >> what's the worst thing that will happen if the democrats lose the senate? explain that to the people. >> the biggest problem if we lose the senate is the supreme court. the senate is unique in its role of being able to approve nominees and vote for nominees. if there are any openings in the rest of his administration, that would be at risk. and i think if you look at the issues the supreme court decides on, it's health care, whether we have money in politics. lgbt rights and equality, every
issue tends to rise to the supreme court, our nation, our core values, i believe are at risk if that courts shifts to conservative. >> if you're a woman who wants to get ahead and to the top, get this book, "off the sidelines." thanks so much, senator, for coming on the show. we love you back. and tomorrow night on "hardball," the one and only bill maher will be with us right here in washington. please join us for that. that will be a change of pace. this is "hardball," a place for politics. we know we're not the center of your life, but we'll do our best to help you connect to what is.

away. you know what he said? he goes, that guy, he's a phony from new hampshire, that just happened to live in massachusetts for a while. >> it's not clear why he thought that would going to help. >> next up, private moments with the president. take a look at this. that's the president saying farewell to a departing member of the secret service. to the left there, you can see the agent's son appears to be taking a head first dive into the oval office couch. here's how it was described. back flip from the desk. didn't stick the landing. that might be the most action a white house couch has seen since jimmy carter slept on one flor years ago. finally schwarzenegger stopped by the state capital to unveil his official portrait. but apparently the painting was good enough for jimmy kimmel,

nfl commissioner roger goodell said he saw the new ray rice elevator video for the first time yesterday. he also dismissed calls for him to step down over his handling of this matter. a fourth american doctor with ebola arrived after being evacuated from sierra leone. and apple unveiled the 6 and 6-plus. also the apple watch that is due out early next year. back to "hardball." welcome back to "hardball." today the nfl is facing big questions following ray rice's suspension from the league, and his contract termination after brutal video of him punching his then fiancee came out yesterday. the question i have, why wasn't the original video enough to elicit that response to the league immediately? the police said he was struck by
his hand rendering her unconscious. why did it take the video of the punch itself to prompt the kind of response the nfl went through this yesterday? >> joining me, don edwards of maryland, kim gamby, and former philadelphia eagles quarterback don mcpherson. it's eagles by the way, not eagles. anyway, thank you, sir, for joining us. congresswoman edwards, you've been on the show so many times. this is a judicious decision, we saw her lifelessly being dragged out of an elevator. a police summons which said she had been punched and knocked cold by this guy. why wasn't that enough to take him out of the league? >> it should have been. a think it's not enough for the nfl to say, we got it wrong. they got it horribly wrong. and what is happening right now, the combination of that video just underscores how wrong they got it. >> you know, i just wonder, if
it was a guy he knocked out in the elevator, i mean, this is aggravated assault. it's not like, oh, he was having a bad night and we get along. respond to this, generally speaking, how does this fit into the category of violence against women, as you see it, in the whole range of things? >> there's no question. this is a perfect demonstration of the kind of domestic violence that we see all the time. and i'll tell you, if this had been a guy he punched out in that elevator, this prosecutor would not have given him pretrial diversion. >> you mean, in other words, counselling? >> yeah, exactly. >> let me go to a football player. don, what do you think of this? i think football players are supposed to be tough, you hit the line hard, it's a contact sport, it's about being a strong, macho kind of guy. what other players, when other players see this, what's the reaction? >> i think the reaction is as the general public has had the
reaction when they saw the actual punch itself, recoiled back how horrific this was. i think the problem, what's so disturbing, is that the initial video wasn't enough for the ravens to take action with one of their employees. if that had been anyone on the set, we all would be out of a job. so the problem is, we know something happened in that elevator. did we have to see the video evidence? the problem is, not that the ravens or the nfl saw the video. it's that the public saw the video of the punch, and that's why the ravens took action. >> i'm looking at the picture we saw before, congresswoman, when we saw him pulling her out of the elevator and then kicking her to move her into position she wouldn't be caught by the moving elevator. then he start of tries to shake her awake. why do you think she stood up for him again today? is this some syndrome? what would you call it? >> chris, i want to tell you,
i've worked on domestic violence for a long time. i used to have kim ghan did i's job, and i know we'll have to offer support to janay and other women who experience violence. he may not identify herself as a victim or a survivor of domestic violence. but there's going to come a point at which she's going to understand that and know that, and have to look out for her own safety. so i don't want to place the blame and focus on her and her response. the question is, what our system does to respond. whether those are employers like the nfl, whether it's the judicial system, and a prosecutor who, you know, negotiates a pretrial diversion program for a clearly brutal assault that ought to be prosecuted. these are system responses that are needed and we don't need to place the blame on victims like janay rice. we need to make sure that the system works, so it prevents him from doing it to any other woman. >> it's about the testimony in court.
how does a judge or prosecutor move ahead without testimony of the person that was hit? >> they do it all the time, and they can do it. that videotape, the statement is enough to move forward on, whether it's a restraining order, a prosecution or a conviction. and so we can't just depend on victims to be the one, because there are a lot of issues that they're going through as well. >> i understand. >> -- to pursue a prosecution. this is about the public interest and pursuing a prosecution for a violent offense, and it shouldn't be allowed to happen. it shouldn't be allowed to stand. and the nfl needs to stand in the court of public opinion to explain why it is they didn't act before now. it's outrageous to look at those first pictures and wonder what, did she think happened in the elevator? did she hit herself? clearly from the statement. i don't understand now the nfl's inaction. we're talking about a history here. i remember working in 1993, before the passage of the
violence against women act, on a super bowl ad, with the nfl. recognizing the need to educate the public and to be leaders in leading on this issue of domestic violence. they need to get it right in their own house. >> were you surprised by the actual picture inside the elevator? >> i wasn't really surprised. i had a pretty good idea from the first video what had happened inside the elevator. >> roger goodell, who generally gets good marks, should he be kicked out now for not doing anything about this for all these months? you said you had enough information in february. why didn't he act on that information that he had, because you had it? >> i think that one of the things that they do is to wait for the legal system to go through its process, and i think that's what they're doing with ray mcdonald. whether or not that's a good idea, they wait for the process to end he.
he took action after the prosecutors game him a diversionary program. they know they got it wrong. >> what's that picture going to mean to pro football and the image of the players and their self-awareness of this kind of situation? my experience with guys, they don't talk about this. i don't know whether this guy ever talks about it with his buddies. why would he ever talk about decksing his wife. i can't imagine anybody talking like that. so it's kind of a secret world. what do you think the reaction of his peers will be when they see it? >> i think it will be split. there are a number of players who are appalled by the behavior and the silence of the league and the organization. i think it's going to be a good thing, there will be good conversation from guys in the league who say, this does not represent our league. that's what the nfl should be doing, saying ray rice and these guys involved in criminal activity don't define the
league. and the nfl needs to go on a pr campaign to show there are positive men in the league, and these guys don't represent it. that's the message they need to send to younger men who aspire to be in the nfl. >> sunday we'll have a training program for -- just kidding. it's not this bad. but it can be pretty rough at those games. thank you for joining us. up next, two months before the mid terms and president obama has a chance to unite his party, possibly save the senate for the democrats. that's coming up ahead here. this is "hardball," a place for politics. hy is, reynolds? no. not exactly. to attain success, one must project success. that's why we use fedex one rate. right. their flat rate shipping. exactly. it makes us look top-notch but we know it's affordable.

for the democrats, big trouble this fall. rothen berg was straight. he writes, i'm now expecting a substantial republican senate wave in november. with a net gain of at least seven seats. but i wouldn't be shocked by a larger gain. that means tsunami time. much like kennedy turned it around in '62, president obama will have a chance at least to unite the country around his own foreign policy challenges coming up tomorrow night. for all of the talk of a wave, democratic candidates aren't keeping it close. with less than two months to go until election day, this thing isn't quite over. steve mcmahon is a democratic strategist and also nbc prized political analyst. you were laughing about this before we came on. i want to know why members of the united states congress are paid about 170 a year to vote. they don't want to vote on whether we go to war against isis.
>> because the risk is too great for the dems. they don't want to have that debate right now on foreign policy. republicans would be more inclined to it because they feel the american people probably will stand with them to do something you've heard -- >> they don't mind being hawkish? >> they don't mind being hawkish, because they're being hawkish for an agenda. tell us exactly the strategy, mr. president. so think -- >> so tomorrow night, it will be on national television. the question is, why do the democrats not want to vote? we got some harsh responses when we called the offices today, especially the leadership. >> i think the democrats aren't sure what they're voting on. >> you're hedging. why don't they want to say, yes we're going to war with isis or not. >> i think any democrat in a purple state should support the president and do what we need to do with isis because of the threat to the country. i don't understand why democrats
are reluctant to vote. liberal democrats don't want to seem hawkish. everybody's skiddish. everybody in these races if you're a democrat would do well to support the president, to go in there and try to eradicate isis, and i think that would benefit politically from it. >> would you rather be a democrat that support the president, or a democrat that doesn't do anything and supports the beheadings? >> i would be the democrat who is tough on the president. president bush knew this well. at times of war and peace, when the country is threatened, the american people stand with the president. he won the 2004 election by returning it to these issues and probably shouldn't have. i think the president will benefit -- >> we have a republican out there, kingston saying the people out there he talks to, don't want to vote. just go ahead and bomb and tell us later. >> i think that goes back to the
bush times where there'at's whae mantra was. shoot first and ask questions later. >> where are you on that one? >> i think we ask questions first. it will be be smart politically -- >> do you think both parties are wary of war? >> i think both parties are wary of war. >> we are very, very conflicted. we don't like people being beheaded. it gets to our national gut; my gut. anyway, republicans have been trying to make this selection. coming up, a referendum on president obama finding every way they can to tie their democratic rival to the president. >> right now, we're being represented by someone who votes with the president's stale policies 99% of the time. >> she's voted with president obama 95% of the time. by kay's on standard, she's failed the people of north carolina. >> senator, i've heard you say the word harry reed, obama,
fight. >> he's your buddy, man. he's your buddy. >> he's your buddy. is that the strategy of the republy karens? j th >> that's exactly what the strategy is. >> i shouldn't say bowling, that's the one sport he's not good at. >> it's me and a picture of george bush standing side-by-side when i was running for the u.s. senate. so that's a strategy when you have an unpopular white house and an unpopular president. >> and i voted for you withstanding that. >> i know you did. >> that actually works pretty well in house elections. in a senate race, take mark pryor, for instance. people vote for the individual. they know mark. the president isn't going to help mark, but he's not going to defeat him, either. >> i'm afraid.
i have to make an admission. i think when you go into the voting booth this time, the name at the top of the ballot is going to be obama. >> i agree. >> that's what the republicans want. >> it's the people in the races that are going to decide the senate. they know how to run in those states. they've been red states for a long time and they've won there as democrat. >> i agree with that. it's not what the republicans want, but it's what the american people think and feel about this administration. the administration is not, technically, on the ballot. let me finish. the only way you can talk with the current administration is to take it out on the current party. >> you become a symbol? tell that to eric cantor. tell it to mitch mcconnell. he's two points behind right now in the latest poll that just came out. >> just out tonight, brand new,
it show that is women are keeping democrats in the game this year. ha% responded said democrats would do a better job looking out for the interest of women. more than half the people in the country are women. >> absolutely. it is why you see in places like kansas and kentucky and elsewhere, they want to make it much more of a local race and not a national race. when it's localized, it's about those issues that women are more deeply concerned about. when it's nationalized, that's when you see the flipped in the script. that's where republicans are seeing who can get them on their side. >> why shouldn't women vote for democratic candidate sns. >> republican candidates stand in their way. >> see how nice that was? >> right now, in any campaign
cycle, it's a referendum. at some point, it becomes a choice between two people. what happens is do i dislike the incumbent right now? do i dislike washington? yes. in the last few weeks, what's the alternative. >> you know what i'd like to do, guys? i'd like to think about the stories the day after the election. and i think the story after this election will be the unpopularity of the president. i hate to say it because i support him on many issues -- most issues. but i think it's going to be how unpopular he was. we'll be right back after this. and making something stronger... will mean making it lighter. one day, factories will work with the cloud. one day... is today.
when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp 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. 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. smoking with chantix. as a police officer, i've helped many people in the last 23 years. but i needed help in quitting smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. 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 could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker.
but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
let me finish tonight with this. people run for congress, let's imagine, because they want a role in leading the country. they want to represent the people in making the big decisions of american government. well, that is reasonable enough to assume, isn't it? that you really want the job. not just the title. not just the position. well, maybe we should stop making that assumption. maybe we should assume that many of them desire most is the position, the title. that they're willing do give up power in order to retain what they desire most, that title. how else can we explain this refusal to accept responsibility. it's now coming loud and clear from capital hill. it seems hardly anybody in the u.s. congress, house or senate,
democrat or republican, is ready to step up and say whether or not the united states should take the fight to the group that's been beheading our fellow citizens. if this stands, if the congress refuses to hold a vote on action against isis, we are not looking at a proud, representative body. we'll be looking at a chicken coupe. a grand-looking building where those are afraid to stand and be counting. a lot of his fellow lawmakers say that president obama should just bomb the place and tell us about it later. they don't want it up and down, yeah or nay in a recent vote. congress enjoys a job approval of 7%. that's one person in 15 who's doing it right. have you ever met that one person in 15 who thinks they're doing well in congress? it's that person who live ins a
