you went and golfed. do you want that back? >> you know, it is always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation. because you're followed every where and part of what i would love is a vacation from the press. there's no doubt that after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that i made, that i should have anticipated the optics. you know, that's part of the job.
it's serious business and you care about it deeply. but part of this job is also the theater, part of it is, you know, how are you -- it's not something that always comes naturally to me, but it matters. and i'm mindful of that. >> oh, good lord. we're here. >> good lord? what do you mean? >> you're talking in my ear. >> i'm excited. i accept him with open arms. >> i missed you. been away. field work. >> field work. oh, the kids. >> don't overdo it. >> willie and i have this, we love the kids. that's all i'm going to say. >> we also have msnbc
contributor dorian warren. what a title for a young guy. >> i'm older than i look. i won't say a number. >> how old your? >> 38. >> you're so young. >> happy birthday. >> you'll have to get used to what we do here on "morning joe." lots to talk about. >> a lot of clowns. clowns run out -- >> joe has lots of pot shots to go with the president, i'm sure. >> the president, though, i got to say -- first of all chuck todd's interview -- i thought the interview what was so fascinating about it is -- okay, thank you. you just took that off of me. so i do "meet the press" yesterday. great job. i get home and my 11-year-old daughters says to me last night i saw you on "meet the press." i go, really? my kids don't usually watch me on tv, they just don't.
i said how did doi? she said you had a big piece of lint right here. all day. i said nobody could tell me until now. >> she watched you once on tv. >> it's distracting when you roll around in cat hair before you go on tv. >> everybody has their thing they do before they go on tv. >> as you were saying. >> i thought the president was engaged and i thought he did well. i actually found myself saying i think he's got this just about right. as you know, that's unusual. >> it is. >> for me to say that. let's face it i haven't always been the biggest support of barack obama. i called the stimulus package a steaming pile of garbage. said his health care plan was bad for america. >> you were wrong. >> bad for america. i said his massive spending program in 2009 was bad for american capitalism. the kids loved that one online.
i repeatedly warned against tripling the number of troops in afghanistan, i condemned the drone policy and i had concern about a management style that leaves him isolated in d.c. and his own white house. but when it comes down to facing the greatest threat since 9/11 i think this president has it just about right. let republicans and hillary clinton play the cynical game that politicians love to play by second guessing his lack of action in syria and ranting on what might have been. let's not argue counter realist on this beautiful september morning. let's just stick to reality. americans would not have support ad third war against a muslim country in less than a decade and as eisenhower taught us during the suez crisis in '56, less can sometimes be more when it comes to wars in the middle east. because the president refused to rush in with guns blazing in the
isis crisis, when he goes before the american people on wednesday night what will happen? he'll have the arab league behind him. you had the leader of the arab league basically saying we need the u.s. over here. for once it's going to be nice to actually go into battle against, i'll say it, an evil force where we're not going it alone, right? >> yes. but i think there's one key thing we should be looking for wednesday night and that's what's congress' role authorizing any action that we might take in iraq and syria. this is broader than the president this, is presidential power versus congressional power. congress has a significant role to play in asking the right questions and authorizing force. i would argue for a limited time. >> all right. we'll talk about that. >> we'll start there because we have a little bit of what the president said yesterday make his case for action. here it is.
>> the next phase is now to start going on some offense. we have to get an iraqi government in place and i'm optimistic that next week we should be able to get that done. i want everybody to understand we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. that's not what this is about. what it's about is an organization that if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms, that over time that could be a serious threat to this would. >> we got a lot to talk about this morning including incredible story coming out of atlanta, atlantic hawks story. what have you noticed about the president yesterday in chuck's interview? >> i saw some emotion. i saw some passion out of him, on the obama level.
he's not going to get fired up and scream at the camera. he's a pretty mellow guy. he talked about the optic, a word we used and overused about him playing golf immediately after the statement of james foley being executed. he said i probably got that wrong. that's the first time we herd him say there's something about theater in politics. the lead story is what's happening with isis but an interesting footnote. >> measured and careful actually worked in this interview while at other times it seems disengaged. but these are situations that do call for a measured, careful action with other countries helping. it's making sense. beginning to make sense. we'll see what happens when he addresses the nation wednesday night. >> the atlanta hawks are going up for sale.
bruce levenson said he sent an insensitive e-mail in 2012 written to three team executives. levenson listed his concerns including the majority of fans being black. cheerleaders being black. and hip-hop music being played at the arena saying quote my theory is the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. the league had been investigating the e-mail prior to levenson's decision to sell. levenson said by focusing on race i sent the unintentional and hurtful message that our white fans are more valuable than our black fans. if you're angry about what i wrote, you should be. i'm angry at myself too. nba commissioner adam silver said, as mr. levenson acknowledged the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles
of the national basketball association. >> we have to separate these things out. i understand what the commission certificate saying. this guy just talked about southern whites, southern whites have a problem going to a place where they are in the minority. that may have been okay. the nba commissioner can act shocked all he wants. i read an espn article yesterday this guy said something in a very inartful clumsy way that every front office in the nba is grappling with, how to get white suburban fans in an arena along with people of color. >> can you just say let's -- we have to find ways to make this a more inclusive experience. >> give us the background. >> i lived in atlanta for seven years. it's a tough sports town. the hawks have struggled with attendance for many years. i think what he said in a private e-mail was he should not have said it, obviously,
shouldn't have said it the way he said it. he's talking about demographics. he's talking about getting, the nfl talks about courting female fans. this is talking about courting more suburban white fans. and i think he said it in a way that was ugly and he did the right thing self reporting it and took himself out of the game. it's a problem not just in atlanta, it's a problem in other leagues, how do you fill these arenas. they have struggled with it for decades. >> what was shocking to me reading the emails is how bad of a manager he is. done he have staff to do the demographics and data collection on what will attract fans to the game? he's just spouting theories that has no basis in reality. that's the crux of the problem for me. and joe as you point out this is not isolated to this team, it's how the front office thinks. i hope they use data to support
those assertions. >> the idea playing hip-hop in time-out is the reason why your fans are not coming? >> what your talking about. >> a lot of the white kids in suburbs are buying at least half the hip-hop music. >> what do you think of his apology? >> it's self serving. it's a good pr move for it. he'll come out fine because he'll sell a stake of the team and walk away. >> you don't buy it? >> no, not at all. >> in a few hours new jersey governor chris christie will help reverse atlantic city's bad fortunes. he'll lead a summit how to turn around the casino industry. four casinos are expected to close this year costing nearly 8,000 jobs. he's returning from a tripe to mexico which drew comparisons for a dry run for a 2016

comprehensive tax reform that finally values our environment and security. nothing would make us stronger and putin and isis weaker, all at the same time. i agree with that. we're talking about isis. isis ain't looking at our tax policy. isis don't care about our oil export policy. if you want to stop isis there's only one way to stop isis. i remember a couple of years ago we had a pulitzer prize winner on here saying the bush administration is doing this and that because the pakistanis want to be like us. dr. brzezinski started laughing and said you're a fool. they do not want to be like us. they want to be the opposite of us. come on. i one what tom is saying. we need to get our house in order. getting our house in order will not face the isis crisis. killing bad guys and blowing up their equipment. >> people want to put them in

between the white house and capitol hill. we have senator john mccain and lindsey graham speaking for that group. it's not politically popular to go out and say i want to commit a lot abroad and put troops on the ground and all of these things. you see a variety of lawmakers taking opinions on this but i think for the white house to come through and work with lawmakers is really going to be a long shot at this point. >> interesting. >> ted cruz is using this now as taunt to say i'm going to run. >> all right. thank you both very much. still ahead on "morning joe," bill krystal and janet napolitano -- >> they had the funniest. never -- >> with their likely -- >> downtown kids love these two when they get together. >> on immigration. >> right? you got label stuff going. >> a bunch of news.

day. >> from what you know, how big is that threat? >> i think it's hugely significant because the longer they go in what appears to the rest of the world as progress for them, so they are advertising that they are winning, that means more and more westerners are showing up. so every time a werner shows up, becomes more radicalized and trained and is willing to go back and commit an act of political terror back home which could be europe, could be the united states, could be canada, that's dangerous for us. >> the longer they hold as much land as they hold in iraq, the more money they get and that also, that increases the threat against us, right in the clock is ticking? >> oh, absolutely. one of the things we learned about 9/11 time and space. and so we gave al qaeda all the time and all the space and so they had free operation in afghanistan, nobody disrupting their activities in any way and
then they went out and raised money. it's more dangerous than them, they can go raise money for their operations, they had to out how to sneak people into the united states. they have time and space right now and they have money already and they have people with western passports, that's why this is so dangerous. >> hard and soft power do you think should be used, risk of american lives is something to be considered? >> you won't beat them by remote control. we'll have to have some exposure of u.s. service. intelligence service and special capability soldiers. not big armies. and why is because we need our arab league partners in the lead on this and we also, we have others that can help us and what we can do is add leverage. when you add leverage some u.s. forces will be exposed. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you so much for being with us. hope you come back.

doreen is back with us. mike is with us. willie is back with us. the president will deliver an address to the nation on wednesday outlining a plan to attack isis. it is a plan that could last longer than his term in office. it will last three years. using air strikes to halt isis and protect civilians, securing iraq's government and training troops and finally flushing isis from syria. >> so, the president is going to talk before the nation on wednesday. we were talking about this last hour. because he's done at any time way he's done it, when he goes there, he's already got the uae on board. egypt, last week we were talking to the white house and told us egypt was not far behind. you now have the arab league, the 22 country arab league is talking about stepping up and supporting this as well. we don't usually have arab countries begging us to come
over with weapons to take care of their messes. we have that in this case. i think the president -- i think the time cigarette played out just about right. >> the time cigarette played out right. this is one of the campaign promises he's making good on. remember he shot the prominence for his senate race by opposing when we went into the iraq war the going it alone strategy. it's showing us a different kind of foreign policy strategy of bringing folks along. he has to answer the questions what's the imminent threat to the u.s. and what is congress' role in authorizing the use of force here. >> mike -- >> how do you think he's doing >> he's doing well. mike, i said it last week i'm sick and tired of other countries needing our help, quietly saying we need your help. come over here. and then we go over and help out and then suddenly their state-run newspapers are calling us the evil american imperialist dog. so i like the fact that this president, one of the few things
i agreed with him consistently is that we're going to stop carrying the world's water and he's basically called the bluff of all of these countries and now i think we'll get more support from america because you have arab states begging us to come over, not as liberators, but to hurt an evil force. >> two things have occurred both in the last 48 hours. the president's meeting with chuck todd and yesterday the head of the arab league indicating it's time for arab nations to get on board to fight this evil. >> how important is that? >> hugely important but it proves the point that over the past two weeks with everything that's been going on in the american media, that being cautious and being methodical is not weakness. >> i was talking before about ike and the suez crisis in 1956. sometimes doing less in the
middle east is doing more. >> yeah. for the past two weeks, there's bean barrage largely within the american media he's weak, he's not doing anything, any sensible person would have to know with any limited knowledge of washington -- >> that's what he said. i loved -- willie understands it. it's khaki and it's awesome. anyway, i aide after he said we didn't have a strategy not a big deal. he said something he shown have said. he said it in an inartful way. at the end of the day he'll be judged on his policy. now the arab league saying come over here we need you. >> 22 state arab league stepping up against isis. that exclusive interview on "meet the press" president obama made the case for action. >> the next phase is now to
start going on offense. we have to get an iraqi government in place. i want people to under we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. that's not what this is about. what it's about is an organization that if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms, that over time that could be a serious threat to this would. over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil, we are going to systematically degrade their capability, we'll shrink the territory that they control and ultimately we're going to defeat them. >> long way, long way from when you described them as a jv team. was that bad intelligence or your misjudgment? >> keep in mind i wasn't
specifically referring to isil. i said that regionally there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally, weren't focused on the homeland because i think a lot of us when we think about terrorism, the model is osama bin laden and 9/11 and the point of it -- >> you don't believe these people -- >> not yet. they can evolve. >> so we'll learn more about the strategy in the speech wednesday night. tricky part is isis, islamic state of iraq and syria. we can go into iraq, we can form partnership, perform air strikes inside iraq. what about syria? chuck asked him about that. we can partner with the free syrian army. not clear how you go after them. >> there's a different between what mike rogers was saying and the president was saying. >> that's where it gets murky. >> again, i'll repeat a quote that somebody said on this air several years ago. if you take vienna, take vienna.
if you're going to defeat isis there's not a military leader that's going to tell you you can defeat isis in iraq. it's like my argument about not tripling the number of troops in afghanistan several years ago because everybody said well the problem -- it's not really in afghanistan it's in pakistan but we have to put the troops in afghanistan -- no. it didn't make sense. you didn't beat the islamic state in syria by going into iraq. he's going to have to make some tough choice. of course, his problem is if he goes into syria and he brings this group in syria he helps assad. that's the crux of his problem. if you're going to defeat isis you have to defeat isis. >> that's right. this will go beyond his administration, obviously and part of his legacy, the next president will have to continue this fight. >> ordeal with whatever he put on the plate. the nba's atlanta hawks is going up for sale.
bruce levenson announced he'll sell his controlling interest after admitting he sent a racially insensitive e-mail back in 2012. written to three team executives, bruce levenson listed his concerns including the majority of fans being black, the cheerleaders being black, and hip-hop music being played at the arena saying in part quote, my theory is the black crowd scared away the whites and there's simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. the league had been investigating the e-mail prior to levenson's decision to sell. levenson said, quote by focusing on race i sent the unintentional and hurtful message that our white fans are more valuable than our black fans. if you're angry about what i wrote, you should be. i'm angry at myself too. the fab commissioner said as mr. levenson acknowledged the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles
of the national basketball association. >> i don't buy the apology. this is a long time in the making. the emails are going to be leaked. >> he handed them over. >> great pr move because he gets to come out without being sanctioned by the league. he's voluntarily selling. he'll walk away with a lot of money. any sentence that starts with "my theory" you know you're running into problems. >> what do you think he was trying to say? >> he made all sorts of assertion of what the fan base is and why ticket sales aren't up with any actual research or evidence. >> do you think he was being blatantly racist and no other business conintercept >> i think he was being dumb as a manager, first and foremost. he was the biggest critic of donald sterling. there's a little bit of hypocrisy. >> it's about framing. if he had said i'm afraid that southern whites are not open minded enough to go into an
arena where they are a majority, then he would have been fine. but, my god, you're playing with fire when you're talking about what every other nba front office is talking about. but in the clumsiest and worst way. also, there is, though, also, as we were saying last hour, also the question of where has this guy been for the 25 years. by the way, they exploded in the mainstream in 1989 and this guy is talking about hip-hop business is bad for white kids. >> it's not the ludicrous song. he's from atlanta. they love him there. we got chris mannix with senior writer for "sports illustrated." i want to read what you wrote here. banishing sterling was the right thing to do but the nba opened
pandora's box when it did. one comment, one e-mail, one statement never meant to become public can have catastrophic results. bruce levenson had an ugly skeleton buried in his closet, a sellton that would eventually emerge. this e-mail was written two years ago. he sees what happened to sterling. company have self-report ad couple of years ago and just did it this week. this is -- the attendance question is one that guys grapple with and it makes you wonder what are the private conversation happening behind closed doors that we don't see and emails that aren't released to the public. >> i wouldn't give him too much credit for self-reporting this e-mail because i don't believe he did it of his own volition. at some point he must have believed people in the organization were aware of this e-mail and aware he had to get it out there and get in front of this story before somebody else did. it certainly is a bad look for
bruce levenson, but in terms of the league and how they look at this going forward, as i wrote it opens a pandora's box with what to donald sterling. every owner in the league is looking at themselves saying doi have this type of e-mail out there lurking. is there something i said in a group set or somebody has something on a cell phone. now all of a sudden if you make one insensitive comment or do something stupid like bruce levenson did with that earn mail could you be subject to the nuclear option. that's what's making owners nervous. >> what's left unsaid here with regard to the atlanta hawks, a, they don't win. so, that's tough. >> not terrible. >> not terrible but the other interesting aspect of it is the braves, the atlanta braves who also have difficulty growing are actually moving to the suburbs. in an attempt to -- >> moving north. where most white suburban, but
affluent atlantians are living. >> got a brand new stadium. >> brand new for lack of ticket sales. on to other news. in just a few hours new jersey governor chris christie will try to help reverse atlantic city's bad fortunes. the governor will lead a summit on how to turn around the city's casino industry. four casinos are expected to close this year costing the town nearly 8,000 jobs. >> we should go to that. >> hold on. i'll see mccartney, the eagles -- >> 8,000 jobs. >> then jersey. chris christie. >> i want to cover the summit in new jersey and shed light on the jobs being lost there and people's whose lives have been turned upside down and what will to be done to fix it. i'm serious. >> he's just back from mexico. he looks so presidential. >> he a three day trip to mexico. drew comparison force a dry run to a 2016 presidential campaign.
reporters noticed there was contact choreography. the governor toned down his typically blunt style. despite that trip christie returns to the harsh political realities of home. the dnc is launching an ad blitz in new jersey reminding residents it's one year since the bridge scandal. for the second time this year fitch downgraded the state's bond rating. it cited the state's economic woes, including christie's decision to cut pension payments. >> a lot of new polls out. yesterday from "meet the press." >> nbc news/marist poll showing republicans making significant gains in some closely watched senate races. in arkansas, tom cotton has opened a five point lead against the democrat there, senator mark pryor. the candidates now tied among registered voters. in may senator pryor had an 11 point lead. in kentucky mitch mcconnell leads democrat alison lundergan
grimes by eight points. he holds a similar lead amongst registered voters. in may they were tied. better news for democrats in colorado where democratic senator mark udall is ahead of republican congressman cory gardner by six points. lead expands to eight among registered. unchanged from july. in all three states president obama finds his approval rating below 40%. >> look at those numbers, willie. arkansas 31%. kentucky 31%. colorado 39%. also fascinating in arkansas, bill clinton's approval ratings plus 30. mitt romney, he's upside down in a couple of those states. what you have is you got the blue states getting bluer, red states getting redder. you don't know how americans will react to the military threat coming from isis in the coming weeks. i think a lot of those numbers have actually been dragged down
because the president has been seen bungling on foreign policy. whether it's fair or not. if he's forceful taken isis threat is neutralize and effective i think you're going to see those numbers go back up. for republicans claiming that these races are over and i heard this from way too many republicans last week, it's really early. it's the first quarter. we'll see what happens. i have to ask chris mannix something. we were talking about owners that were concerned. what about mark cuban. he had one of the most fascinating comments about race, he said everybody is prejudiced. there was not enough discussion. it was provocative but the kind of conversation that the nba, especially, has to have. is mark cuban worried right now >> mark cuban is worried and every other owner is worried. this is what mark was talking about when he made the initial statements after the donald sterling comments came to light.
when somebody says something privately and becomes public. no question bruce levenson and the hawks owner was out of line and no question he completely misguided about what he was saying. atlanta has always been a very complicated city, very complicated starts city. it's not skbruft the demographics or france'ses down there. it's about atlanta being a ran the -- ran ttransient city. this guy will lose his team, how far to wonder if there's an e-mail of something i said out there will i lose my team too. >> a divided city. it really is. you look at the perimeter, south of the perimeter the demonstrate
month graphics are different. north of the perimeter, the atlanta braves moved because of that. >> "sports illustrated" chris mannix, thank you so much. great to have you on board today. >> happy birthday. >> you're a kid. >> he's 38. >> you're a kid. >> he's 38. >> shhh. >> that's awesome. still ahead on "morning joe" joan rivers gets the funeral she said she always wanted. we'll tell you about it in a few minutes. chuck todd will break down his interview with president obama. a massive dust storm blows through phoenix, arizona. and a touching story of one team putting a fan first. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. lan. and "minus" our expenses. perfect timing. we're offering our best-ever pricing on mobile plans for business. run the numbers on that. well, unlimited talk and text, and ten gigs of data for the five of you would be...

engaged the president was. i don't know if it's the summer being over, i don't know if he's got an election coming up and getting in gear. but something was different. everybody that saw the interview said the same. other than your great skills, of course, what do you sense? why was the president sort of on his toes in the interview yesterday? >> i think part of it is because he does -- i think they feel they know what they have to try to do. doesn't mean they will accomplish it. they have to find these sunni states, gate saudi arabia and a jordan and a talk and get these, those countries to somehow put the boots on the ground in syria. they seem to have -- everybody on this team has agreed. >> will he go into syria. that's right now the big question. he pushed back when you talked about syria. >> he's going in some form of syria. he was very careful to say it won't be boots on the ground but it's going in some sort of supporting element. there's no other way to defeat
isis and his own folks have said it. i said that to him. he agreed. but i think they think they are going to build this middle east coalition. i think they think they are going to do a jim baker style coalition, that john kerry essentially will be able to replicate what bush 41 incident '90 and '91 when it was a real coalition. you had dozens of countries involved and you had arab countries involved that were actually engaging in the military operation, you know. it was part of the question i said that there's plenty of people wondering at what point does all this military aid that the united states has given the saudi arabia for decades will be used by saudi arabia. >> this speech tomorrow night he has to make a major pitch to the american people. this is a new chapter in a war. let's be honest. you asked him are we going war but he hedged. last time we opened a new chapter, 13 years since we started it.
we could be in for a long fight. does he feel he can convince the american people it's time to go back into a war. >> he can convince the american public they have to defeat isis. remember when he's giving the speech he's given it on the eve of the 13th anniversary of 9/11. you'll hear some 9/11 imagery from him. he says they are not al qaeda yet but could be if they somehow -- if we don't deal with them now. i think rallying the country by isis is one thing. i think the difficulty here is what do you do after? who fixes syria? who is in charge of rebuilding it? is it united states responsibility? that's the issue here. he himself said it. the united states was all in iraq, everything was okay and as the u.s. pulled out of iraq chaos ensued again. vacuum developed. here comes isis. isn't the same thing going to happen in syria after we're done? >> i thought it was interesting
that you were able to talk to the president about the whole golf issue, the golfing incident after james foley and the president spoke. >> i have to ask you during that vacation made the statement on foley, your went and golfed. do you want that back? >> you know, it is always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation. because you're followed every where and part of what i would love is a vacation from the press. there's no doubt after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that i made, that, you know, i should have anticipated the optics. you know, that's part of the job. it's serious business. and you care about it deeply. but part of this job is also the theater of it.
part of it is, you know, how are you -- well, it's not something that, that always comes naturally to me. but it matters. and i'm mindful of that. >> he doesn't usually say that, does he mika. >> no. when you talk about optics in theater, looking to wednesday night it seems like he's doing everything right. how does he communicate that. how does he punch a wednesday night without falling into traps of rhetoric? >> well, i think the president said it very well. you got arab state, you got uae, egypt. chuck you were talking about syria. i think we'll get a lot of countries on board other than qatar that doesn't strike me as an ally of anybody but terrorists. there i said it. what does the president do on wednesday night to punch, not only to the american people but also to congress? >> exactly. look, i think congress is going
to be there if it seems like a defined end, right. if there is evidence that this coalition is going to happen. i think he will get congress. i doesn't seem as if -- i've noticed that the voice there's and look some, some on the campaign trail are very nervous about voting for something that is open ended. but if he can come up with a closed end ask of congress, it should be an easy thing. by the way going back to what he said, one thing that the public forgets is presidents if they don't know how to compartmentalize they would never get sleep. >> right. exactly. chuck todd, thank you very much. coming up a star studded affair as joan rivers was laid rotate. we got all the details next. later on "morning joe" one woman's battle with an eating disorder that nearly ruined her life.

to what caused her death continues on. we may hear some news on that this week. >> ron volunteered to repeat howard stern's line. >> reporter: it's a morning show, a family show. it was funny, though. >> we're trying to find what he said online and we can't find it. i mean, do you know what the line was? >> reporter: i do know what the line was. i can tell you this, he came out -- i won't say it, he came out and said joan rivers had a very dry -- there was this long pause and he delivered the punch line after that. >> i think you just said it. >> okay, ron. >> reporter: it's probably not the word you were thinking. that's how he delivered it. >> ron -- >> coming up -- >> i love you >> you're awesome. well done. >> we have to put him in the carrie sanders pantheon of
greatness. >> you're definitely in the realm of greatness. >> all right. thanks very much. coming up, today marks the -- >> what a save. >> whoa! >> that was good. >> dry sense of humor. >> that's what he's saying. >> okay. it's good when you just say it and move on. >> today marks six months since flight 370 disappeared. tom costello will tell us where the investigation stands including a new phase of the search. >> up next is president obama doing enough to keep americans safe? information homeland security secretary janet napolitano is next. >> best comedy act downtown. >> going to be funny but fascinating. >> before we go break this
friday we'll talk to legendary filmmaker ken burns about his new documentary "the roosevelts." and we'll ask you questions about the family dynasty. what was the nickname of theodore roosevelt's regiment that fought in the spanish-american war. we'll give a shout out to the first person that tweets the correct response using the #rooseveltspbs.
before the names "theodore," "eleanor," and "franklin" were indelibly etched into the american consciousness. and the course of human history was forever changed by their individual endeavors. a prominent family made a point of teaching the value of altruism, the power of perseverance, and the virtue of helping out one's fellow man. you can eat that on weight watchers? looks amazing. dine out on favorites or cook up something new. with weight watchers you can enjoy the food you really want. join for free and start losing weight now. learn how to eat healthier, while enjoying the foods you love.
keeps them awake at night.roblem and columbia forest products had a tough one. they make plywood. and the panels look perfect when they leave the factory. but a company they sell to is demanding refunds. refunds for defects that only appear when the finish is applied. it's hurting their profits, so i offered to help. at ge capital, we do a whole lot more than just the financing. we bring expertise from across ge. so i call in our access ge engineers, and together with columbia, we work backwards. from the cabinet factory, to the finishing plant,
to the place they peel the logs. and sure enough, we find the source and help replace the machine. problem solved. defects go away, and everybody sleeps better. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. but at ge capital, we're builders. what we know, can help you grow. isis in iraq and syria and al qaeda is very conscious of yesterday's story. isis is the flavor of the month right now
>> nobody, i do bad things too. it's not fair. that's right. the head of al qaeda is feeling neglected. and he's tried everything from posting sad cryptic facebook status updates to even doing the ice bucket challenge. so now i challenge you. >> here with us now, the very brilliant editor of the weekly standard, bill kristol and former homeland security secretary, janet napolitano and mark mcginnis. >> bill kristol how is the
president doing? >> he's giving a speech wednesday. >> are you suggesting quid pro quo. >> define you guys. >> you. >> not mika. >> the president is worried about intervention. you're right to support the president. on the other hand janet napolitano was still there we would not have isis -- think about this. >> let's be serious. >> horrible thing. the threat of isis is unbelievably bad. >> we also agree isis needs to be stomped out. >> should never have been allowed to get this far. that's a huge problem. >> this is where we disagree as far as syria goes.
it's a lot of easy for neo-cons and hillary clinton to say we should have invaded two years ago. we don't know what would have happened if he had done that. the american people are war weary and would not have supported a massive intervention in syria. >> it wasn't that easy. i supported the president a year ago. not a lot of republicans. it should have been two, three years ago. even a year ago. i supported him. it's gotten much worse. i hope, very much hope he now grasps reality, accepts reality and acts decisively. his secretary of state said the day before, two days before that interview we have a red line, no ground troops. >> really? you say natural you're a serious power. >> no. if you have to choose between assad and isis who do you zmoos. >> i don't choose. >> you have to choose. >> we can do boston them.
that's what it means to be great power. >> get rid of assad. >> get rid of him right away. >> who runs syria? >> we don't know. there's a better chance of having decent people run syria two years ago. >> one of the most striking statements by a president -- >> let's talk about the future. >> citizens of syria demonstrated against the dictatorship. they were merchants and doctors. >> he drew red lines. ignored the red lines. the question is what do we do? hold on a second. if we hurt isis, we help assad. >> why we helping assad. if we decimate syria assad is a weak dictator. isis is a real threat. >> i hate to admit this. i think we may agree on moving forward. let the record show --
>> not nearly as bad with janet napolitano. all downhill since she left. border, thousands of people flooding across the border. >> janet, based on what you know, how dangerous is the isis threat to the american homeland? >> characterize it somehow for us. >> i think the number one threat the homeland are americans or europeans who have passport whose have been over there and trying to come back and do something in the united states. >> do we know who they are? >> i have been out for a year. we have some. but it's difficult to track travel, difficult to track travel particularly from turkey into the region. so we don't have 100% fix or we didn't at the time. >> mark mcginnis has a question. mark. >> you talk about americans or other foreign nationals that may be going in, or coming out. can you talk about americans, what homeland defense is doing about americans going over now,
is there a system in place, or strategy for making sure that americans aren't going over now? >> and, again, i'm not there. but, obviously, eyes and ears are attuned to americans who may be traveling into the region. trying to track travel with the travel documents that dhs does collect, but it's a very big region and these are very big borders and freedom of travel is freedom of travel. so i would be surprised if you could say yeah we have 100% control. >> janet said eyes and ears. that's another issue, national security agency and its listening in on an awful lot of conversations from abroad to here which i've always defended. president says a few words how important it is against irresponsible critics of the left and right and defends our intelligence officers. >> isis jumped on everybody's radar screen and the american
public in the last six months to a year, i would say. how much were they on your radar screen when you were secretary of homeland security. is this a group you were focused on, a group you were concerned about. a month ago the president called them a jv team. he didn't take them as seriously as they have now. >> they have grown in terms of size and capability. yes, they were on everybody's radar screen. they were there. the issue of travellers was already present. there were lots of discussions with how do you get the region and the countries in the region to participate in a more vital and more vigorous manner. but were they the dominant source of conversation? not at the time, no. >> madam secretary thank you so much for coming. >> we'll come out to berkeley and do a stand up routine. think the kids would loyalist. >> if you do it we'll host it. >> will the kids love us? i think we should.
>> "morning joe" at berkeley. >> get out of the east coast and come out west. >> bill kristol can you stay with us. allegations of sexism on capitol hill taurnd lot of heads last week. kasie hunt cyst down with senator gillibrand. agony for families of mh-70. tom costello is next with the latest on the investigation. latest on the investigation. you're watching "morning joe."

hard to believe it was six months ago today when malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared while on a flight to beijing. search teams spent months looking for the plane in the southern indian ocean but so far have not found a single trace of the plane or the 239 people on board. for the families of the missing the past six months have been just torture. nbc's tom costello has been following the story from the very beginning and he join us now with an update. >> search teams are about to start a new search more than 1,000 miles off the coast of australia after spending the last few months mapping the ocean floor. this comes down to hard science and guesswork. it's a mystery that for six months has held the world in suspense. >> no word what went wrong. no word on the lives of the 239
souls on board. >> continuing the search -- >> we seem no closer to knowing what actually happens. >> this morning, there is little to go on in the search. and the 239 people on board. for the families, agony. sara's partner phillip wood is still missing. >> i miss his daily presence. i still feel him in my heart, so that will never go away. >> flight 370 disappeared on the red eye flight on march 8th. the last radio contact with the pilot sounded routine. soon after, the plane dropped off radar and stopped its data transmissions. investigators soon discovered evidence that someone had turned the plane around and flown it into the remote southern indian
ocean. engineer, analyzing attempted satellite communications or handshakes with the planes believe it went down here, somewhere along this arc. but where? it's 23,000 square miles and the ocean is vast and deep. an intense search in the air and on the surface using an unmanned submarine found nothing. now experts have refined the search area again. and a new phase of the search is about to begin. >> we will not give up until we have found what's left of flight mh-370. >> for months, dutch and chinese ships have been mapping the ocean floor. soon, they'll use advanced deep sea sonar technology. but aviation experts can't understand why six months later not a single piece of wreckage has washed ashore. >> the fact we have not found
debris is one of the largest mysteries to me. there's so many light objects in the airline, in the galleys, the seat cushions themselves. those things float for a very, very long time. >> we mentioned the indian ocean is deep. something like three miles deep in some places. if they ever do find the plane and recover the flight data from the saltwater, investigators say the data should still be good on the block boxes and that will hopefully help them solve the mystery of flight 370. thomas. >> we still wait. thank you. still ahead, if a prolonged fight against i'm sis is imminent, how long will it be before members of the arab league join in? plus, it's not preis season anymore. we have the latest nbc news polls in the battleground states that could determine the senate. and storms in the southwest.
we'll check in for the forecast. we asked you the name of teddy roosevelt's regiment in the spanish-american war. and the correct answer to that question is the rough rides. @kristin s was the first person to send us that correct response. congratulations to you. keep watching "morning joe" for the roosevelts, an intimate history. we're going to be right back after this. before the names "theodore," "eleanor," and "franklin" were indelibly etched into the american consciousness. and the course of human history was forever changed by their individual endeavors. a prominent family made a point of teaching the value of altruism, the power of perseverance, and the virtue of helping out one's fellow man.

over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil, we are going to systemically degrade their capabilities. we're going to shrink the territory they control. ultima ultimately, we're going to defeat them. >> long way from when you described them as a jv team. was it bad intelligence or your misjudgment? >> i wasn't specifically referring to isil. i've said that regional there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally. weren't focused on the homeland. because i think a lot of us when we think about terrorism, the model is osama bin laden and 9/11. and the point that i was -- >> you don't believe that these people -- >> not yet, but they can evolve. >> president obama speaking to chuck todd on "meet the press." welcome back to "morning joe."
managing editor of the news website quartz bobby gotz join us. >> a year ago today? i'm a politician. a year ago at this very moment, let me exaggerate -- >> but a year ago. >> janet nap pal toon nepal nap you in as a citizen. >> it was a wonderful event, she gave a wonderful speech. she'd done it lots and lots of times, but because it was her last -- >> so bobby, moving to the president obama, bill and i disagree about some things. one thing we don't disagree about on the president's policy is if you're going to take s vien vienna, you have to take vienna. if you're going to beat the islamic state in syria, you have
to go into syria. which i suggest is why he calls it isil instead of isis. we've got to go into syria. i'm not talking about boots on the ground. we've got to figure out how to destroy isis in syria or it just doesn't matter. >> i think we're trying to figure out how to do it too. all the talk of sending drones and eyes in the sky. that is adding up to something. that something has to be a sort of air strike campaign. >> how important that it looks like the arab league's about to follow the lead of the uae? >> it's an important first step, but it's only a first step. the arab league always gives itself room to back off and that's something to worry about. they did not specifically endorse an air strike campaign, which i think would have been better. it's all talk of, you know, we're all in agreement that something needs to be done. what that something is, they give themselves some funability, which is something you worry about. >> is the president not moving
in the right direction? >> i think he is. very slowly. but yes, the right direction. >> bill, let me ask you, what does the president need to say to get congress on board? we always talk about educating the american people. i don't want to see a congress sit back and say we'll just wait and see whether this succeeds or fails. doesn't congress need to be brought in on this too? going after isis? >> i think the president needs the authority to act but i would be all for congress authorizing use of force. i've talked to republicans about this the last week or two. they're all for it. >> they're all for it? >> i mean 80% of them are for it. contrary to all this talk, ooh, the partisanship in washington is terrible, the republicans will support a strong action against isis. >> even the rand paul wing -- >> rand paul will be against it and i think he -- >> will that hurt rand paul going forward if he's against this? in something that most americans see as a real threat?
>> i think it will expose the threat he's had his own views, he's held them pretty -- >> but core policy outside the main -- >> -- is hawkish. >> i don't think that underestimates the importance, the perception of having a coalition of arab states asking us to come in and help. i think that's a huge difference. >> so obviously if the president gives an address to the nation to explain his plan on wednesday night. and of course the question will be after that if he can get real support from across the world in the form of action. let's bring in nbc news chief global correspondent bill neely. what are you hearing about in terms of how this is looked at outside the u.s.? >> clearly got some support at last week's nato summit, but it's all very well getting support from britain, france, germany, i understand also denmark and australia. countries that really fear a blowback from those of their
citizens who have gone to iraq and syria. quite another thing to get the support of arab states, particularly sunni states, that you have to get on board. the target is a sunni group, isis. so that's the real challenge. but it's quite clear that the military, the diplomatic and the political offensive is now in full swing. i suppose looking further down the line, you know, we come up with the same issues. what does victory look like? what does victory against isis in iraq look like? more problematically, what about syria? and what is the end game in syria? is it the defeat of assad or the defeat of isis or both? really, anyone in the coalition has worked out those things yet. >> colin powell expanded on, before you go in, you try to figure out how to get out. what does victory against isis look like? >> i'm totally against the
powell doctrine. >> that's why you're wrong. >> no, i am, you never act because you never know what things will look like. >> what does victory look like against isis. when does he say, mr. president, good job, he won, they lost. >> in 2008, a huge victory in iraq, people not slaughtering each other. in syria, crushing isis and helping those moderates who are there to -- >> you were one of those moderates. >> there are still some. >> i didn't ask you, who was, i'm asking who are those moderates now. >> you don't know who they are until you get involved and try to help them. >> and then you're in. >> that's the thing about war. >> who were the moderates in the balkans. were you against that intervention? >> of course i was. >> they hated each other for hundreds of years.
they'll just slaughter each other. are the balkans better off now? >> yeah, but it was a gamble at the time. the gamble paid off. more times than not, the gamble doesn't pay off. that's not a risk -- >> more times than not, if you don't take that gamble, you get the current situation. 200,000 people dead in syria. a horrible terrorist group metastasizing throughout the middle east. >> let's talk about the arab league. we were leading from behind in libya. we get the arab league on board. then actually got some things. for not only the united states but for the rest of the world. >> not only did the arab league endorse libya, they participated. the uae sent aircraft that were part of of that whole effort to create a no-fly zone which took the initiative away from gadhafi and allowed the rebels to beat him. something similar needs to be done here. the arab league has to join. not enough to endorse on the sidelines. arab planes have to be in the air. arab logistics need to be offered. and a much more clear mandate
saying, yes, we agree, we need military action. >> can i just say -- >> -- every time somebody talks, you're always shaking your head, chris. >> no, look what happened, libya, we didn't intervene -- we didn't follow up and we didn't have troops there for stability and we didn't have aids. but the arabs couldn't have done it. i have no problem with having arab troops there. the problem with libya, people like you were right about this, if you're going to intervene, you have to intervene. we now end up with terrorists controlling parts of libya. >> that's the part of the powell doctrine, believe, if you're going to go in, go in, don't go in halfway. what can we expect from france so americans don't feel like we're carrying it on our own? isis may pose a greater threat to some capitals in europe than
they do new york and washington. >> exactly. >> there are two parts to the question. number one, what can we expect of this countries in respect of iraq and then further down the line in syria. in britain, the debate has shifted from providing ammunition and sleeping bags to kurdish rebels in northern iraq to actually support for british air strikes. tornado planes have been flying recounsel sans missions. edging towards getting involved in actual air strikes. i think with germany, they have just broken a long-standing decades-long taboo and are supplying german-made ammunition to kurdish fighters in northern iraq. with all these countries, it's a tiptoeing process. the danger is, you've got to be very careful what you're tiptoeing into. for example, the u.s. yesterday in striking anbar province, there were two firsts there.
this is the first time u.s. planes have struck western iraq and anbar province is an absolute hornet's nest where there's been a war that's displaced half a million people. and secondly it's the first time u.s. warplanes have taken action solely in support of iraq's government. nothing to do with the yazidis or kurds. we've got to be careful what we're tiptoeing into, all of the coalition countries. >> bill, thank you so much. we really wish it was like 11:00 or 12:00 where we are. what time is it in london right now? >> it is just after 1:00 in the afternoon. we need to do this. have lunch and then do morning joe. bill neely. >> i hear him say anbar province. around this table, we've talked about anbar province. i've been very critical of george w. bush. very critical of his foreign policy. but, boy, as bill said a minute
ago, what we would do to go back and have the anbar province of 2008/2009 when george w. bush -- >> all over again. >> so many remarkable gains and it went away. >> to an issue here at home, president obama is being accused of playing politics with the plight of immigrants. over his decision to delay taking executive action on immigration reform. the president says he will not take action until after the midterm elections. despite previously promising he would address the issue before the end of summer. some say because it's an election year. but president obama says that's not the case. >> not only do i want to make sure that the ts are crossed and the is are dotted, but here's the other thing, chuck, i'm being honest now, about the politics of it. this problem with unaccompanied children that we saw a couple weeks ago, where you had from central america, a surge of kids who were showing up at the border, got a lot of attention.
and a lot of americans started thinking, we've got this immigration crisis on our hands. and what i want to do, when i take executive action, i want to make sure it's sustainable. i want to make sure -- >> that the public's not behind you? it sounds a little bit you're concerned the public wouldn't support what you did. >> what i'm saying is i'm going to act because it's the right thing for the country. but it's going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what the facts are on immigration, what we've done on unaccompanied children and why it's necessary. >> hispanics make up less than 10% of the electorate. colorado is the sole exception. in austin, msnbc contributor and fellow for the center of politics at ut's school of public policy, victoria desanto.
what do you think motivated the decision to put it off? politics? could it be anything else in. >> i'm going to go with politics here mika. we know that latino patience has been worn very thin. they're going to be implications here. let me give you some numbers. a recent poll asked, if the president doesn't take executive action, what is the ennethuse y sam going to be for you to vote? compare that to 87% would said we'd be more enthusiastic. the reason here is that over two-thirds of the latinos know someone personally would is undocumented and a third of latinos have a family member who's undocumented so it's a very, very personal issue. it may not affect senate races but where we're really going to feel it is here in texas.
wendy davis, they need that vote in order to go purple or blue and it's not going to happen. >> let me grab on to a point mark mckinnon said earlier. does the denial not help in terms of trying to garner support for the president but if we had more democrats in power we could get this done so could you just admit it? >> i think it adds insult to injury. we've got to hold on to the senate. let me be honest with you. and then we're going to work forward in order to try to get immigration reform. latinos have been waiting since 2008 for a bold immigration move and nothing has happened. so at least be honest with us. >> vicky, thank you very much. mark mckinnon now, you have some new polls by no labels that look at the caucus and primary states of iowa and new hampshire. some interesting results. in iowa, you have hillary clinton, right? >> no surprise, hillary clinton leading by 30 points over her close rival, which is somebody would says they're not going to
run. the interesting news i think is with the republicans, where in new hampshire, nobody is even in double digits. not jeb bush, not chris christie. we've seen some real impact for christie here. other than mike huckabee who's at 13%. >> the new hampshire democratic primary, hillary clinton easily ahead there. let's go to the republican primary. absolutely fascinating in new hampshire, everybody in single digits. rand paul at 9%. ryan, perry, walk, 6%. jeb, 5, christie, 2. undecided, 44%. i've never seen anything like that in the republican primary. >> it's great. the republicans usually have the front-runner. the guy who ran last time. he gets the nomination. the democrats tend to have races like this. they flipped this year. i think hillary clinton will be challenged actually. joe biden shouldn't be counted out. >> he's running a strong -- >> no, seriously. but i do think on the republican
side, a totally wide-open race. >> mitt. >> he could come back in, i guess. >> here's the interesting thing -- >> people not on these lists, in my view, could come in. >> anyone could jump in. could jump in late. >> yep. yep. >> come on -- >> here's the interesting findings. >> yeah. >> are the attributes that people are looking for in the next president, it's not the typical sort of things -- >> tall, 6'4", what? >> i think that would be good for a vice president. >> we offered up about 15 different attributes. like shares your values in foreign policy. what's at the very top? the problem is are they a problem solver. can they bring people together. let's get the simple stuff done again. it's about problem solving. we've got a book out called "just the facts." >> it's basically just the opposite of bill kristol.
>> i do think -- someone said what's so fascinating is the problem solver. i was thinking this past weekend, bill, about ike, that drove a lot of i'd deo logs crazy, but ike saw himself as a problem solver. how do we beat the nazis? he was not as ideological as a lot of people. but he was constantly obsessed with one thing, what works. that's a powerful signal. and who knows, maybe that means you spend more on infrastructure at the same time you go after teachers unions and public education. but you spend more on education and r & d. but you go after entitlements. that's a powerful message. top of the list. a problem solver. >> strength in foreign policy. people want to sense that someone can stand up to putin and isis and deal with those problems. and real sensitivity about the middle class, working class squeeze. i've seen another poll, you might agree with this, the
degree to which middle class and working class americans are worried about their future is really starting -- >> just reading about that in "just the facts." very good. still ahead, senator kristin gillibrand talks about sexism on capitol hill. casey hunt has that interview. it was a wild weekend for hundreds of party goers this weekend. things took a turn for the worst when they tried to go home. plus, new footage from the domestic violence incident that got ray rice suspended from the nfl. we're going to go inside the elevator next. first, bill carrons with a check on the forecast. >> have you ever been inside the elevator with bill carron? >> oh, god, i can't be. he presses stop. >> good morning, everyone. out of southern california yesterday, we got drenched. hurricane norbert last week was off the coast of mexico. a lot of that moisture got sucked north.

smoked a little weed on his own, wasn't bothering anybody? this is a disgrate. the nfl better get their act together. >> coming up, we have all heard how kristin gillibrand reened spoed to those sexist remarks on capitol hill but how about running for offers ice as a feminist. plus, just one big day away from apple's big event. >> they're thinking about an iphone. >> and will the battery last longer than the telephone call.

clinton's foot steps. as ambitious senator from new york and as a female politician, constantly graded and how she looks. how does she respond? like any true new yorker. you said f.u.? >> i had colorful language for him. >> casting herself as part of the next generation, not afraid to talk about the challenge, of running as a woman, instead of simply trying to run as a man. >> do you think feminism has become a dirty word? >> just like ambition. it's perceived negatively by so many people. all it is is someone who believes in quality for all. you ask them, do you believe in quality for all? they would say absolutely. >> would you call yourself a feminist? >> definitely. i'm not afraid of words. >> gillibrand was a pointed to the senate in 2009 after clinton left to be secretary of state. at 42, she became the youngest serving senator. but acceptance didn't come easy. maureen dowd compared her to the overbeari ining blonde from the
movie "election." but gillibrand has built a reputation on capitol hill as a tireless advocate, especially for women. black home, she presses for science education for girls in brooklyn. more support for business owners in the bronx. and justice for victims of sexual assault. >> it should not include a 1 in 5 chance of being sexually assau assaulted. >> her military sexual assault bill fail and she had a public falling out with senator mccaskill. >> there's no rift. it was just a policy agreement. i can tell you, i disagree with my male colleagues all the time. >> people focus less on that? >> of course. >> for now, gillibrand says she wanted to help clinton get elected president. after that, who knows where her ambitions will take her. >> i think she's the most qualified die famic candidate you could possibly put forth from our party.
i think she could be an extraordinary president. >> do you want to be president some day? >> no, no, i feel so lucky i get to do my job in the senate. >> well, casey, first great interview. she did very well in the interview. >> she's on "morning joe" tomorrow by the way. >> more questions about the book. what struck you, especially in terms of where she's going to play in the coming years? >> sure. i was struck by, especially in this book she's put out there, how forward she was in talking about some of these issues she's faced as a female senator. something people have sort of avoided talking about. it's sort of one of those dirty little secrets. you accept these comments come your way. >> i remember, she went to dartmouth with my brother mark and he always saw her as really great and also put the word ambitious along with that. i had lunch with her i think what was it just when she was elected i believe, weeks after. i walked out of there and i said, watch out for her. don't even think about underestimating her.
because she's really ambitious. i saw it as a great, great thing. i think she's right though. i think we struggle with that word when it compaes -- >> she writes about how ambitioambition is something that's perceived as negative for women. if you talk to capitol hill, that's the reputation. she's done a very good job of it. what she's doing with her fund-raising and her pac has people taking notice. the way she handled the military sexual assault bill drew a lot of attention. >> actually the other senator you mentioned in there, kristin gillibrand and claire mccaskill, both ambitious, aggressive and they do good things with those qualities and that's something i want to see more of across the board in business and politics. >> no doubt. >> all right kasie, thank you so much. >> i'm a feminist.

basically, it's been a somewhat adventurous time for me. so at the end of my senior year, i will have had both experiences while also being like super well prepared for the professional world. sounds like a really good plan. smart and strong and feminist. baby, good plan, right? >> no, i think that -- i think what you think pretty much. >> oh, that sounds like joe. >> from hbo's "girls." he sounds like that -- >> yeah, exactly. >> the star of "girls." co-star and "glamour" columnist zosha mamet. >> there we go. >> it's not spelled for anybody
to do it correctly. >> from mika better brzezinski, that, two zs. so "girls." and i love your column. >> thank you so much. >> you talk about your struggle with an eating disorder. >> uh-huh. >> i've written a book about this. i'm a mother of two girls closer to your age than mine. and it seems to me like the struggle might be a lot harder for young people today. >> i mean, i just think even, you know, the world that we live in and the way we're bombarded with advertising of this one very specific body type which i think that that ideal has definitely changed from, you know, when fashion became as big as it has. it's definitely morphed into something much more androgynous, much more -- >> why do you look at me when
you say androgynous? >> no particular reason. but i want to hear about the moment when your dad confronted you and how that hit you. i know people can go to glamour and read the article as well. it really goes in depth in a deeply personal way. tell me about your dad and what he said to you at a moment that was kind of pivotal. >> it was absolutely a pivotal moment. all the doctors had told me that. it just didn't seem to be hitting home. when you have an addiction, it becomes something out of your hands. you really sort of -- you lose control in a way. >> he knows you. >> absolutely. >> what did your dad say? >> he came home one night and he grabbed me by the shoulders and he looked me in the eye and he said, you can't die. and it was just -- it was a really enlightening moment for
me. i suddenly realized my addiction wasn't only about me. it had become something that made me not really care if i lived or died because i was powerless at that moment. i suddenly realized that it would affect my family. >> mike. >> your father is obviously david mamet. >> he is actually david mamet. >> david's idea of a great day is write like four movies a day, two books. how has his -- in addition to the huge impact he had on you, with the story you just told obviously, how has his presence in your life affected -- up got a future now. you've got a career. has it affected you negatively, positively, both? >> he's my dad. he's a very talented man. he introduced me to a lot of incredible things as a very
young human which opened my eyes to the possibilities of this world. he installed me with i hope is a pretty good work ethic. he's got a good one. >> what he's been involved in. >> i mean, that's it, i'm out. >> let's talk about "girls." you portray four different characters. how important is it to portray strength and flaws? but then also what you're working with, with your book and glamour and trying to bring women to new york city, the make your mark contest? >> yeah, yeah, i think something that we do on our show is very much in kind with that -- kind of what i'll talk about in just a second is we kind of try to portray women in the most honest light we can. girls in their early to mid-20s which is what we're playing.
we really try to show them in as honest and realistic a way so we can really reach girls that age who going through these experiences and hopefully make them feel not so alone. i've partnered with "glamour" and with behr with the "make your mark" campaign. >> got it right here. >> on the lovely pellegrino bottle it you want something lovely and refreshing. it's just starting to inspire women from 18 and over from across america to submit an essay about the various ways in which they make their mark on the world. and i think it's really just about, you know, helping women feel confident in the ways in which they specifically contribute to the world and to get creative about that. >> sasha, thank you very much for sharing your story in glamour. >> she said it right. >> you did. >> i'll never get it wrong now. really, really great job. >> thank you so much.

mika, what i always said growing up. what did i say growing up? you need to act like a lady and talk like a man. steve ripped that off from me. number one best-seller. >> he's the host of "the steve harvey show." >> all i've been hearing for decades, syndication dead, syndication dead. you blew it up. >> i got fortunate. >> starting your third season. talk about this book. this great book. >> this book is my return to all the people who have helped me. this is my way giving back. i've scraped a lot of manure off the sidewalk so you don't have to slide in it. if i had this book when i flunked out of college, i would have been rich a long time ago. >> i always tell my kids, you'll
have one challenge after another but life is about change. it's about getting up. talk about that. >> i've had every -- every single economic level in life you can have. college dropout. bankrupt. broke. homeless. lived in a car. i've really gone through the whole gamut. i've put it in a book. >> wahat's the key? bottom line it? >> discover your gift. >> once you find your gift, go for it. >> what if you can't find it? >> everybody can find it. your gift is the thing you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort. >> talk about your discovery of your gift. where were you when you discovered it? >> i was a kid -- i was always
funny as a kid. i didn't know it would make money, you know, i had no idea -- all it did was got me in trouble, you know, i was in the principal's office a lot. i got beat up a bunch of times because i just couldn't stop saying the stuff. i didn't know it would turn into money. so as i got older, i was sitting on a hill at kent state. i was flunk out and he was graduating. he said, i'm going to hollywood. i thought it was the most incredible -- everybody laughed at him. that guy went and did it. i was sitting up working at a factory. it was arsenio hall. and he's on tv. and i said, man, i'm going to go to it. i walked in to a comedy club one night and won and that's it. >> it's been following your passion. what is it about your own magneticings? >> well, it is, because, see, when we were created, god put a
gift in all of us when he made us. that gut, things that keep burning inside you, this a seed that is planted inside you. once you start watering and nurturing that seed, which is usually your gift. people wake up and go, man, there's got to be more to life than this. or, man, if i only had a -- and i don't want to die with that "i wish i had-a." i want to die with my parachute wide open. i don't want to die with my gift packed away on my back, never jumping. >> the book debuts today. >> act like a success, think like a success. it's a great book. >> it's great to have you on. very, very inspiring. >> thank you very much. >> now, unfortunately for mike and me, our gifts involve some beer and dog tracks but we're going after it, right. right now. man, thank you so much.

>> alberto wrote on facebook most americans believe in god. i can't believe how a small atheist minority can have more say than the rest of us believers. thanks to everyone who responded. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. >> good morning. it is thursday, september 18. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. brand-new surveillance video of a missing college student shows that she was followed. but who is this mystery man and are the cops buying his story? the breaking details and search for hag hag. >> here -- for hannah graham. >> here's why the president is so sure there will be no boots on the ground. because he just changed the name to forward deployment. more semantics from a divided white house straight ahead. >> the nfl scandals keep on growing. you're not going to believe this. this morning two more stars get benched and the nfl admitting more mistakes on their part and then on the
league's part. no mistake here. mornings are better with friends. >> time for "fox &]3dí friends." >> welcome aboard, folks. thanks very much for joining us on this thursday morning. good morning, aberdeen. actually afternoon this. make sure you vote. the big vote over in scotland. we've got stiewfort -- stewart varney to explain the ramifications. >> what it means for us, the nuclear subs and what it means for scotch. >> in the meantime serious business to tell you about, breaking developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video shows she was followed. quiem quiem is following this. -- anna kooiman is following this. anna, do we know who the guy in the surveillance video is? >> we don't know what his identity is. but he has come forward and
spoken to police is what we're hearing and is signaling them to a new mystery man. this is what we learned. police are looking for that mystery man who was actually putting his arm around hannah graham in the moments before she disappeared according to man you see in the video. this video shows him walking through a mall in downtown charlottesville. he can be seen stepping into a door way as he walks by and follows her. he can be seen walking past a jewelry shop. seconds after that the same man can be seen slowly walking behind her. wednesday noit that man spoke to police saying he was walking with her because she seemed distressed. that's when he says another man approached hannah and put his harm around her. the first man told police she seemed to know the mystery man. he is only described as a black male. police are now looking for that second man. earlier today police released it would more surveillance videos of
graham. one shows her walking past a bar apparently drunk. minutes later she can be seen running past a gas station and then slowing to a walk. police say they do not think graham was being followed at that point. they believe she walked at least a mile and a half from the party where she was on friday night. she was repor4pñ missing on sunday. today investigators are going door to door hoping to find more video that shows where she and the unidentified man went next. graham is the fourth young woman to go missing in the area in the past five years. a vigil will be held at hannah's hometown tonight. >> thank you very much, anna kooiman. troubling news. now that there are so many video cameras out there, it seems like we're getting more and more surveillance stuff where we can see things we didn't see before. >> anna's family and friends holding out hope for more information. if you have information, please call. >> the big story here, we were talking about the
university of virginia student. now big news overseas which,z#y affects us here is what we're doing against isis. yesterday the president of the united states addressed the troops for a myriad of reasons. he wants to keep momentum and get financing for his battle plan to take on isis. number two, he felt he had to clarify what the secretary of defense said the day before about what he's been emphatic about, that this would be no troops on the ground. did he double down on that? did he make sure everyone was clear on that? in some respects. in some respects he also introduced another term. >> yesterday the president with the men behind him, he said -- and women behind him, you're not fighting a ground war in iraq. so the president yesterday said no, no boots on the ground. none of those boots on the ground. dempsey said he might ask the president for boots on the ground. biden said maybe. now the white house has decided maybe we should just mowf the goal post.
-- move the goal post. rather than call them boots on the ground or combat troops now we'll refer to them as forward deployment. >> the american public says don't undermine our intelligence. we know what that means. why can't you say they are radical islamists, call war war and when you have boots on the ground, boots on the ground. you have the house voting to actually arm syrian rebels here to do what they need to do. obviously everyone understands you need feet on the ground. let's call it something.=d@v else. forward deployment? former secretary of defense robert gates who, by the way, airman himself. former air force, says they're great. they will do what they can do. but it's not going to be enough. why can't the president say that? >> they're not going to be able to be successful against isis strictly from the air. or strictly depending on
iraqi forces or the peshmerga or sunni tribes acting on their own. so there will be boots on the ground if there is to be hope of success in the strategy. >> general odierno, the u.s. army chief of staff and helped through the surge with petraeus lead the surge said you've got to have ground forces. it's got to be us. what also bothers me is general austin already asked for special forces to be in and direct airstrikes, some of the 176 on the ground already, and was rejected. already it is affecting our performance on the field. >> the advice of the president should be, given the time of peril we're in right now, just be honest with people. right now when they say no troops on the ground, people aren't believing that because we've already got troops on the ground over there. meanwhile, is our commander in chief out of touch with the military? when you listen to former
navy seal carl higbee, it is clear the men and women who wear the uniforms in challenge and they are up for it. is the president? don't know. >> for the most part, our troops will go over there. they want to fight this fight. they joined the fight a war, to combat the problem, to combat something that is threatening our homeland. these troops will go over there and fight with all their heart. we are the most lethal fighting force history has known. let us fight this battle. >> let's just think about this. they chop off the heads of two americans and more are lined up ready to go, and our response is we promise not to really get engaged. only hit you from above. it is a mixed mebl. -- message. iran says what kind of message is that too that we're scared to put boots on the ground, so they don't want to get involved. mark levin saw the backdrop of the president addressing
the troops who signed up to fight and said this with sean yesterday. >> i want you to know that your sons and daughters are heroes. they did exactly the right thing. i want to apologize to you for this phony commander in chief who cut and run. and as a result, helped build up this enemy, this isis, isil, smisil, whatever the hell it is, these cockroaches we're having to deal with or should deal with once and for all. you know what? it just amazes me. do we want to win wars anymore? we know how we win them. we remember how we won doesn't call them wars. we call them kinetic military action. there is an op-ed today that says tell the american people the truth. they say -- quote -- "this would make the islamic state less likely to doubt u.s. resolve while forcing liberals in congress to stand with mr. obama from
the start and leave no openings for critics on the left or the right to claim they were not told the truth." >> i think the president is going to try to direct it itself. tell special forces you can't get involved or telling everyone he's got to sign off on any hit into syria. that is where two-thirds of isis operates. >> all their findings have pointed to that number as well. >> it is about ten minutes after the top of the hour on this very busy news day. heather childers joins us live. you start with a school closing. >> we have other news to talk about. schools are closed. an entire community on lockdown as we learn more about the crazed gunman who shot it would state troopers leaving one of them dead. police in pennsylvania say 31-year-old eric frein was part of a military reenactors group and he's acting out a fantasy pretending to be a soldier. >> in the event you're listening to this broadcast

>> we've got a fox news alert for you. a live look in scotland where voters there are heading to the polls today to decide whether to split from the united kingdom. that decision, the fate of a nation and perhaps an
entire part of the world could hinge on 35,000 voters -- on 350,000 voters who /:anv far undecided. if the scots say see you later to the united kingdom, how would american foreign policy change? here is stuart varney, who would like to see them stay. >> i would. if they vote yes for independence separate from the rest of britain, if they do that, america faces real challenge. america will face a broken britain because this is the break-up of great britain. it would face a disunited, unstable europe. there are all kinds of independence movements which will be very much strengthened if the scots vote for independence. and america faces a diminished nato. britain has nukes. those nukes are launched in scotland. if they vote for independence those nukes have to be moved. where to? we don't know. >> you're referring to submarines 20 miles from
glasgow? >> yes. >> in terms of money, who benefits here? >> in the short run i think a vote for independence by scotland could push money over here because an unstable europe, a europe in recession and a broken britain, the heart money gets nervous and comes to the most stable part of the world and that would be the united states. >> this is the 31st country to break away from england since world war ii so what is the big deal? we've seen the imperialistic power shrink. this leaves them wales and northern ireland. they would also hold on to the pound; right? scotland would have to come up with their own currency is i. >> scotland doesn't know what they're going to do about currency. they are undecided. they would like, i think, to stay with the british pound. but they might not let them. they won't have the bank of england to back up scotland. a good question is who gets the oil. that is not entirely
decided. potentially scotland is taking a huge financial battle. they think they can finance a welfare state on the back of petro dollar earnings. that is a shaky decision in my opinion. >> stuart, while you were speaking i was looking at twitter and a fellow by the name of rupert murdoch has tweeted out this. he writes scotland now voting. nobody can be sure of outcome, but yes, organization, people who say yes, likely to make it very close. either way, u.k. changes forever. >> that's interesting. u.k. changes forever, whichever way the vote goes. >> you know why? a lot of centers are built in for them to stay. if they stay, wales and northern ireland are going to say what about giving me incentives to stay or i'm going to leave. >> we don't have exit polls so we don't know which way the vote is going but it is going to be close and there's a lot hanging on this. >> it is a very liberal
country. >> it is very left. it wants to go further left, wants to spend more government money, wants more welfare. very shaky propositions. >> isn't it like being engaged, calling it off and keeping the ring? >> you have a prediction? >> i think the no vote will win by just a very narrow margin. that's what i hope. >> i predict pain. >> we'll see the outcome this afternoon. what the scottish are doing. check out stuart varney's program 11 a.m. eastern time on fox business. coming up, joe biden does it again. >> i stopped in singapore to meet with a guy named lee kwan yu who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the most wisest man in the orient. >> it does go downhill from

this is a call out to every person who lives in woodruff, south carolina. if you have a child who attends woodruff high school send them to school monday morning with an american flag on their car. also citizens of woodruff, show up carrying your own american flag. and she did show up. and hermw. name is lora. welcome. she posted this. good morning to you. told this story yesterday and we were so incensed because on 9/11 the principal went out on four vehicles in the parking lot of a high school. they confiscated the flags because they got a rule where you're not supposed to bring attention to yourself. why did this upset you? >> it upsets me because our american flag is our symbol. it's different than any other flag that's out there. it's above the flags.
if i were to go across the seas and try to sail the american flag above a european flag, whoever, they wouldn't allow that. so we can't equate that with their flags flying here with us. it was taking those children's rights away, and i felt like they needed a voice. and so i made the post, a local station got it, and now you guys have it. and yesterday our superintendent made a formal public apology to the community and to anybody else in the nation that they had offended. he said we dropped the ball. we made a mistake. we are going to revise the handbook and change the policy. the united states flag does not bring attention -- undue attention to one's vehicle or one's self and they should be allowed to fly it. >> were you able to get some parents whose kids go to that school to stand with you and drive with you with the flag? >> there were approximately
12 people, i'm told, that were there on the sidewalk. and honestly, i only knew one lady that was there. that was my next-door neighbor and she does have a student in the school. the other people, i have no clue who they were or if they have children that attend the school now or in the past.r9 the students were coming to school. we were informed that it was spirit week. it's homecoming week in south carolina and we still do spirit week. and they -- the principal and superintendent told us that america -- that monday had already been deemed america day, which that's okay. that's fine. but i think we had a bigger support, a bigger turnout from the student body because of the actions that were taken on 9/11. >> exactly. and that's the important part. the principal went out into the parking lot and took the flags off of the vehicles on september 11.
if there is a day where people -- here in new york city, it was flags aplenty, flags all over the place. >> flags everywhere. >> absolutely. so it makes sense to show up -- they're patriotic kids at that high school, for them to show up with a big flag in the bed of their truck. for the school to do it -- it's great that they have apologized but it seems like they were completely tone-deaf to what goes on in this country on september 11. >> i don't know the principal. my children have been gone for quite awhile, but i'm told that he is a patriotic man and he was trying to follow policy. >> you will think on that day they would make an exception to the policy. it's great that they apologized. >> and that is what the superintendent said. they dropped the ball, and they're sorry that they did so. it will never happen again were his words. i'm very pleased. >> you and many of the

should the league be suspending these players? should greg hardy after being convicted be told i don't care about your appeal, you're done. >> i think the right thing now is take them off the field because it's not about football until the situation is resolved. once it's resolved, then they can move on. >> do you think the league dropped the ball on this by not having hard core reactions to this and not doing it on a case by case basis? >> i think the league, with roger goodell -- and he's been known to be that type of person to really put the hammer down. and i feel like they, they have dropped it a little bit. and it's very important to let people know that we're just not going to tolerate that. and the players, they need to recognize that, hey, look, if i do something like that, i'm going to get suspended or i could be banned from the league. >> real quick, adrian peterson suspended with pay. $900,000 a week. for child abuse. a lot of people say that's

did. i just did it the right way, with the sweat and the tears and going out, being the best football player i could possibly be. >> do you think there is an h.g.h. problem in the league? >> if anything, like you said, the testing is going to be able to eliminate those guys from getting so big and so huge and so fast. >> right. that could also play a role in the injuries. guys being that fast, that big, that strong, going at that velocity hitting other guys, that leads to head injury. anything knows anything about you, whether a football fan or not knows you're about excellence, about conditioning and if anything overtraining and you still look in great shape today. how does that play into your message? >> i have partnered with lysol. i'm the first healthy habits coach. i can teach kids the importance of healthy habits and set them up in school where they can be successful. through out my career i

big question now, is the obama administration violating the rights of gun owners across america? that's what gun advocates claim inform the government of their race and ethnicity. is this government sanctions racial profiling and does it ultimately put people's privacy at risk? we're going to ask judge andrew napolitano that very question this morning. good morning. >> good morning. to start with the big picture, the right to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to defend yourself. that's not me. that's what the supreme court said twice in two different opinions in the past ten years. i forcefully and proceed foundly agree with that, basic constitutional law. so why do you need to fill out a form, the government's form, in order to protect yourself? the government's decided it wants to know who has guns. none of the government's business who has guns. it's none of the government's business the race or ethickity
of the people who want to buy guns, and certainly none of the government's business to ask you why you want the gun. you want the gun? it's none of the government's business. we don't need the government's business to express our first amendment freedom, why do we need their permission to express our second amendment rights? >> so there is a privacy issue. but what if you don't answer the question? isn't that denying you the right >> theoretically the seller of the weapon has become the agent of the government by saying, look, i can't sell you this gun. i want to sell you the gun. i want to make the profit from the sale and i want you to be able to have the product you want to buy. but the government is telling me i can't sell it until you fill out the form. whether they overlook the fact that you refuse to tell the government your race, ethnicity and sell you the gun, then they're going to get in trouble. this is called forced speech. first amendment says congress
can't inc. fringe speech. the courts have interpreted that to mean congress can't lot compel you to speak. so the government can't say, hey, what's your race? what's your ethnicity and why do you want that gun? the government doesn't have the lawful, moral authority to do that. but yet that's what it's trying to do with these forms. >> there is a blurred line there. >> it is. because the states regulate guns, but the feds are telling them how it do it. >> sounds like a big violation to most. gun advocates thinking the same. thank you. >> pleasure. >> coming up, a pop quiz. can you tell which one of these can you tell which one of these brownies is laced with5aa

good morning. today is thursday, september 18. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brand-new surveillance video of a missing college student showing that she was followed. details on the man seen here on this tape and whether cops are buying his story ahead. wow. new this morning, more scandals unfolding in the nfl. two more players pulled off the field for alleged abuse. one of them under arrest. and three stories gaining serious traction right now at fox news.com. a state trooper booted from waffle house because he was carrying his gun. a mother in trouble for letting her son play outside the house across the street when she was watching him through the window. a kid who says he was bullied because he would not stand up and say the pledge of allegiance. we want to know which story has you the most fired up. that's right. it's another episode of you choose the news on this "fox & friends" live from new york
city. >> this is jerry rice, 13-time pro bowler, three-time super bowl champ. don't drop the ball on "fox & friends." >> that's the pressure on you at home. whatever you have, don't drop it. >> you heard him. >> we have a fox news alert. a live look right now in scotland. why? polls are open for the scottish independence vote. amy kellogg live in scotland for all the drama. it's a big day. what's the mood there? where do you think the public is leaning? >> reporter: brian, it's on a knife's edge. there is a trickle of people coming from the polling station behind me. but they are expecting here in scotland that this will be the biggest electoral vote in their history because they are voting on the future of scotland. it could be an independent country. they're expecting a turnout of 80 to 90%. no figures on that yet. eligibls
about 4.2 or 3 million have registered. they've opened up the voting to people as young as 16 years of age, which has been somewhat controversial. but a lot of these young people seem to have a very good grasp of the issues. >> i just think we need the support from england that we get. we'll be so vulnerable to attacks. we've got no defense without england. i just think they do so much for us economically as well. >> reporter: those are two of the issues, defense and economy. britain's nuclear deterrent is based in scotland and they said if scotland becomes independent, the subs will be kicked out. also the economy, of course. we don't know where that will go if scotland becomes independent. they won't be able to keep the
pound, they don't have a plan b. nay sayers say they will flourish if they're independent. >> all right. amy kellogg, where it is three minutes after noon in scotland right now. i got a feeling the polls will pick up a little later on when people are getting off work and out of school. >> i love hearing the perspective of a young person there concerned about security and economics moving forward. i think that's quite interesting, though some may say too young to participate. >> can you imagine having an election and 90% of the people showing up? that is unbelievable. >> that is great. >> you can't say that doesn't really involve me. meanwhile, heather, are you scottish? >> i am not. dutch irish. >> so you're not voting today? >> i'm not. >> but we do have breaking news to tell you about. fox news alert. breaking developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video shows she was followed.
hannah graham can be seen walking through a mall in charlottesville in front of her, stops and follows her. two minutes later, graham walks past a jewelry shop. a few seconds later, the same man can be seen walking behind her again. last night that man told police that he was walking with her because she seemed distressed. he says another man approached her and put his arm around graham. graham, by the way, the fourth young woman to go missing in the same area in the past five years. also breaking overnight, a terror plot foiled isis, calling for the kidnapping and innocent of innocent people in a major city. 15 suspected terrorists were arrested in australia's largest ever counterterrorism operation. the country now raising its terror threat to the second highest level. schools are closed, entire community on lockdown as we learn more about the crazed gunman who shot two state troopers leaving one of them
dead. police in pennsylvania say that 31-year-old eric freen was part of a military reenactment group and that he's actually acting out a disturbing military fantasy pretending to be a soldier. >> in the event you're listening to this broadcast on a radio or portable radio while cowering in some cold, damp hiding place, i want you to know one thing, eric, we are coming for you. >> corporal brian dixon was killed in the attack. his funeral this morning. trooper douglas critically hurt, but alive. and now this, he learned the hard way you do not mess with a woman who is nine months pregnant. she chased him down after he swiped her purse outside a grocery store and knocked her to the ground. the woman's family grabbed him and held him down until police got there and here is the best part. just hours later, she gave birth to a healthy baby. so good for her.
>> glad they had a happy ending. >> thank you very much. >> this headline i thought was taken from monday's show or last wednesday's show or last friday's show, it's thursday and we have more bad news for the nfl. it happened again. it's bad behavior. you might not know jonathan dwyer, but he's been in the league for five years. started with the cardinals. he's involved with his second domestic abuse accusation and it might involve child abuse as he went after his wife and also their text message revealed he threatened her if she in fact called the cops. >> one aggravated assault, including a minor of an 18-monthsan hold, and preventing use of phone in an emergency. >> he's out. >> he's not the only one out. greg hardy yesterday, he was convicted in july of assaulting and threatening to kill his
girlfriend. the trial is scheduled for november 17. yesterday the carolina panthers said, you know what? why don't we just bench him? >> but still paying. >> $13 million base salary he still gets. >> $770,000 a week he will make during the season. so if he's still getting paid, it's a lot of money while you wait in the money for a verdict. >> in hardy's case, he's convicted already. this is an appeal. the audiotapes show basically it's almost like the transcript from the o. j. simpson situation and this woman was fearing from her life. this is from a neighbor. here is a question from the nfl, in hardy's case there was due process, there was a conviction. but without due process in dwyer's case, what does the league do? if you're convicted of this, you're off? but while you're actually going through the process, play. really? should you do that? especially when the circumstances, for example, of adrian peterson where his four-year-old had pictures?
in hardy's situation where there were audiotapes. in dwyer's situation, i think that is the biggest story. >> where is the real deterrent when you take the money away and prevent anyone from getting close to the line of abuse at all. jerry rice, what did he have to say? >> listen to what he said about that. he said the one thing players care about is playing. >> i think the right thing right now is to take them off the field because it's not about football. and until the situation is resolved, it's very important to let people know that we're just not going to tolerate that. the players need to recognize that hey, look. if i do something like that, i'm going to get suspended or i could be banned from the league. >> eli manning weighing in this morning. he was asked about it. he went into extensive detail saying enough. they got to go. it's not just outsiders. it's insiders. >> two more players not playing this weekend.
>> meanwhile, mixed messages in washington, d.c president obama still insisting no troops on the ground in the his joint chiefs of staff seems to be on a different page. this as the house has just approved a plan to amount syrian rebels. peter doocy with the latest. >> reporter: on capitol hill, speaker boehner and minority leader pelosi united behind a measure to arm and train syrian rebels which easily passed the house with bipartisan support. had bipartisan opposition, with 85 democrats and 71 republicans voting no. this came shortly after president obama promised once again no combat troops in iraq while he's in charge. >> as your commander in chief, i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. after a decade of massive ground deployments, it is more
effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners on the ground so they can secure their own countries' futures. >> reporter: isis fights might have a hard time believing the u.s. is not fighting in combat roles. u.s. advising iraqi and on air strikes. if they don't work, then the vice president is open to sending in ground forces. >> agree with general dempsey about using ground troops? >> reporter: another denial that ground troops in iraq are not --
are a possibility is coming from secretary of state john kerry who told the senate committee yesterday, americans will only go to iraq in support roles. that's it. back to you. >> that's it. peter, thank you. time for you choose the news. which of these stories has got you riled up. first of all, let's take you down to grapevine, texas. the waffle house there. there was a texas state trooper, a chopper pilot. he showed up to the place in his field uniform, which is a polo shirt, tan slacks, a badge and a gun. the manager came out and yelled at him, you got to get out of here. he said i'm a state trooper in uniform. he said get out and don't ever come back! he's upset because of the way that he was singled out and embarrassed in front of them. since then, waffle house has said we are really sorry. but none the less, the trooper is amazed that he would be kicked out. >> right. north dakota, a school accused of bullying a child who had to
stand outside of class because he didn't want to stand up and say the pledge of allegiance. the dad and an atheist group are saying you bullied our kid. you didn't want to stand during the pledge. the superintendent who is a military veteran said the child is actually told to stand up to say the pledge. when he didn't in order to avoid other students from becoming distracted and wanting to sit as well, they placed him outside and say stand outside the class, but you're not going to refuse to stand and distract everybody else. >> sounds more like distraction than anything else. now let's go out to austin, texas, where a kerry ann roy is outraged. she's a writer and mom of three and she's upset that a neighbor, a nosey neighbor called the cops because she let a six-year-old, her six-year-old play outside with her eight-year-old, who by the way she was watching from across the street. the neighbor called the cops. as if she was being an irresponsible mother. she said she was about 100 yards away. she could watch him the whole time. that's what kids do. she is pushing back.
>> they actually brought the kid over to the house and child services showed up and asked all three questions a couple days later and asked them very detailed questions which they were quite uncomfortable with. >> about alcohol and drugs and porn and all sorts of weird stuff. so we'd love to have you weigh in on this. go to our facebook page and take the quiz, which of those three stories are you most interested in hearing more about. facebook.com/foxandfriends. here is what's coming up, soon border patrol agents could be forced to wear body cameras. but not for their own protection. the move to give illegals an advantage. yep. we'll explain coming up. and the president and his top generals can't seem to agree on battling isis, sending mixed messages about boots on the ground. up next, a man who has been calling for boots on the ground from the beginning, carl oliver north reporting for duty. >> his boots are always on the ground.

the president has struggled to deliver a consistent message on how we're going to defeat isis. he's got one position that could not be more clear.
>> this is not and will not be america's fight alone. the american forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. they will support iraqi forces on the ground. as your commander in chief, i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. >> some of the president's top generals, pictured here, and his former secretary of defense disagree. why the disconnect? joining us now is fox news military analyst, lieutenant colonel oliver north. isn't the president, by saying what we won't do, boxing himself in to a corner? >> no commander on the battlefield or commander in chief should ever tell the enemy what they will or won't do. right from the get go in this thing he has been saying words like you just put on the air. here is the worst problem, nobody really knows what he really wants to do because just hours after he said that down at the air force base in florida, josh earnest on air force one coming back to washington says,
well, there are certain conditions where he may want to consider putting u.s. troops close in with iraqis in iraq. >> forward deployment? >> that's the new word, forward deployment. >> what does that mean? >> forward deployment for those of us who used to do that meant you were going to go from the united states to some forward deployed location where you might be engaged with the enemy. the bottom line of this is if he's going to do that and put them in close contact, he has to have an authorization from the congress of the united states. it's called use of force. and he has to get the congress to nod their heads and say yes, we'll support that. every president has done that. this president has been so confused, i've now dubbed this operation enduring freedom. we have operation enduring confusion. it's confusing the troops. here is the bottom line, without putting forward controllers from the air force and other services on the ground with the iraqi
battalion who are in combat, you will not have success using air power. arab air power is an oxymoron. they can't do it. furthermore, if you leave syria as a safe said he wouldn't do, you've got to put somebody over there to help those fight. they promised they're going to train 5,000 so-called moderate syrians. they're going to export them, fly them to saudi arabia, u.s. special forces will train them. >> for about a year. >> 12 months. then bring them back. think of this, isil, isis, whatever it's calling itself this week, has grown in three weeks, from 15,000 to over 30,000. in a year, how are these guys, 5,000 of them, going to come back and go into syria, now they're going to ballot, 35, 30,000 isis and assad? >> we have to have ground forces, out of everybody you mention, where are the ground
forces? peshmerga? is jordan going to be the answer? the 5,000 the answer? >> no. the problem is, he's got more faith in air power than billy mitchell. >> thanks a lot, colonel. >> friday night special on -- introducing chico's leggings. every style's a showstopper! with fabrics that flatter and prints to go wild for. legs look longer, you look leaner. any way you wear them. chico's leggings. we're famous for our legs. at chico's and chicos.com. ccaaaaaaaaaaaa!

western europe. it's foot print that's been constant since the end of world war ii. that portion west of germany has not really changed. we know east of germany and the old iron curtain and the old soviet republic, there has been a lot of changes going on there. as you know, a few weeks ago, if you were to talk about volatility in europe, you would have been referring to what's going on in ukraine and all the nastiness there. now the concern is that out of nowhere, scotland just up and votes. they don't think that's going to happen. but obviously the markets are just sort of waiting to see how this folds out. one was saying if it's a close vote, it keeps out there that this notion of cesession. >> let's listen to the boss. >> the danger is that if they win and the column here revolts against their leaders who made

>> let's put the pictures up. folks at home, you take the quiz along with us. >> here is the first one. tell me which cookies have the marijuana in them. which has pot, which doesn't? >> they both have m and ms on the top. >> i'd say b. >> steve? >> i say the other side. >> elisabeth is correct. it's this side. this side has the marijuana. i would have guessed the other side because this looks a little stoned, this cookie. but seriously, let's move on now to the candies. you can get five times the amount that's in a single joint in one of these candies. five times. >> which one? >> i would say these. >> i'd say those. >> this time the quiz master is right. it's this one. this one -- the point here is you can't tell the difference. >> can you tell? >> there is no difference. >> choose one. >> there. >> elisabeth is right.
it is this one. but again, if you're a kid, if you're a parent, you can't tell the difference. this is up to ten times the amount of pot in a joint. >> how much is in ha lollipop? n ten times the amount in a single joint. so if you're a kid, you get wild and anxious and then the next thing is you get lethargic and can't breathe. 10% of these kids have come into the e.r.s with trouble breathing. in colorado, nine kids have been poisoned with this in one hospital since may. >> i read one story about a kid in i want to say wisconsin ate dad's candy bar. it had 25 doses in it. she wound up going to school and all loopy. what's the >> child proofing doesn't work. my advice is don't get this stuff. if you have a kid around the house, especially a young kid, do not get the marijuana edibles because they'll eat them. they'll think it's a brownie. don't buy them. in these states, terrible. >> thank you. meanwhile, we've been asking you on this thursday which story has you most fired up. the story about a state trooper

good morning. today is thursday, september 18. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brand-new surveillance video of a missing college student shows that she was followed and the man on this tape right here has come forward. what he is telling the cops. and here is why the president is so sure there will be no boots on the ground, because he changed boots on the ground to forward deployment. more semantics from a divided white house straight ahead. and we've been asking you which story has you the most fired up. a state trooper booted from a waffle house for being armed. >> a mother in trouble for letting her son play outside, or a kid who says he was belayed
for not saying the pledge, or was it a behavior issue? your choice is revealed after i say morning with friends and the animation comes up. >> hi, you're watching "fox & friends". >> that's a woman who stopped every bullet with her wristlet. >> she was something. >> those were the days. >> all right. let's bring you up to date on what's going on of the we know isis is threatening over there, over here perhaps. we showed you a couple of -- over the last couple of days about general dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs, how he said essentially that if the situation changes, he would request the president authorize boots on the ground. yesterday joe biden said yeah, maybe boots on the ground. the white house, though, keeps doing somersaults saying absolutely not! there will be no boots on the ground! now as it turns out, they are talking about there is a
possibility of a forward deployment. this is a new phrase they're using right now, and that means essentially boots on the ground, even though we currently do over there have boots on the ground. >> right. president obama saying we're not going to put you in combat roles. we're going to forward deploy you, which was the messaging there. it's confusing 'cause you're asking for strategy, you're getting semantics. you want clarity, but now we're confused. is it war? can we do this with boots on the ground? >> the problem is, whether you're the biggest obama fan or critic, he's not a military expert and the military experts all say you need people either with troops that are on the ground instructing them, coaching them, and calling in air strikes, or you need actually our troops to do this. nobody says it's going to be the same war as the one we fought
before. many say the correct war would look like our invasion in afghanistan in 2001. former secretary of defense gates for president obama and president bush looked at the strategy as he heard it, says it's not going to work unless we fight. >> they're not going to be able to be successful against isis strictly from the air, or strictly depending on the iraqi forces or peshmerga or the sunni tribes acting on their own. so there will be boots on the ground if there is to be any hope of success in the strategy. >> that's what everybody says. so this white house has changed so many times over what the story is. remember, we don't have a strategy. okay, we got a strategy. there won't be any boots on the ground and we're not going to call it war. well, there are going to be boots on the ground, but we're going to call it forward deployment. is it going to be a war? no. it's going to be something to kill off isis. that's the whole thing.
and you know who wants to do exactly that? our military. here is former navy seal carl hillary clinton, gby talking about how they want to take the fight to isis. >> for the most part, our troops will go over there. they joined the military to fight a war, to combat the problem, to combat something threatening our homeland. these troops will go there and fight with all their heart and we are the most lethal fighting force. let us go over there, take away the rules of engagement. >> every time the president interceded and let politics play a role, it has been a disaster. it is generally i don't known tr generals recommended that we have a residual force left behind. we pulled out, look at the disaster. general austin two weeks ago, he is the general in charge of the middle east, requested u.s. troops then with the iraqi and kurdish forces. he was rejected at the mosul dam and we're still balloting to suppress eye social security who
are battling for it back. all in all, a lot of guys and a lot of women fought and they feel like it was fruitless. mark levin has a message for them. >> i want you to know that your sons and daughters are heros. they did exactly the right thing. i want to apologize to you for this phony commander in chief who cut and run. and as a result, helped build up this enemy, this isis, isil, whatever the hell it is, these terrorists, these cockroaches that we're now having to deal with or should deal with once and for all. you know what? it just amazes me, do we want to win wars anymore? because we know how to win them. we remember how we won world war ii. >> sure. so the message probably is, mr. president, just tell us the truth. there is a possibility that we might need some combat troops or some boots on the ground. in the end, don't be surprised if the number of american troops over there is probably pretty close to the number of residual
troops that were requested by many experts before we got the heck out of there. >> we're the only ones who know how to do it. it's extremely tough. nobody else knows how to do it. >> nor willing to do it, too. let our military work with the branches there together on this mission. they're willing to do it for all of us. heather childers stands by with all that's been breaking. >> we're following this breaking developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video shows that she was followed. take a look. hannah graham can be seen walking through a mall in charlottesville, a man in front of her stops and follows her. two minutes later, graham walks past a jewelry shop. a few seconds later, we see the same man walking behind her. last night that man told police that he was walking with her because she seemed distressed. he says another man approached her, put his arm around graham. graham, the fourth young woman
to go missing in the same area in the past five years. to stay or not to stay? let's go live to scotland where polls are open for an historic vote. turnout is expected to be high as the voters decide whether to remain part of the united kingdom or not. several opinion polls are showing support split down the middle. we're keeping a close eye on the election because britain is a close ally, a force of independence would weaken their defense capability. the nfl's in fact violence scandal growing. two more stars benched. greg hardy was suspended after convicted of assaulting his ex girlfriends. jonathan dwyer, arizona cardinal under arrest accused of beating his wife two separate times. here is hall of famer jerry rice's take on all of this. >> i think the right thing right now is it take them off the field because it's not about football. until the situation is resolved.
it's very important to let people know that we're just not going to tolerate that and the players need to recognize that hey, look. if i do something like that, i'm going to get suspended or i could be banned from the league. >> and finally, caught on camera, look at this. a wild police chase comes to a firey end in south l.a a man and woman actually robbed that van. they took off, drove on some flat tires. that caused the sparks that you see flying from the metal rims. then they jumped on to the sidewalks, nearly taking down pedestrians near the end of the chase, the driver hit a dog. we have good news. the dog survived. the drivers were arrested. those are a look at your headlines. >> craziness. >> they ran over one of those nail strips. >> why always in los angeles? unbelievable. >> because they've got a helicopter following all those things. so they follow them, we put them on tv.
it's time for you to choose the news. we're going to tell you about the three stories we've been details this morning and tell you which has infuriated you the most. first waffle house in grapevine, texas, where a state trooper, who is also a chopper pilot for the texas state troops went into that location, wearing his uniform and he got yelled at by the manager. he said, you're wearing a gun. you got to get out of there. now waffle house is apologizing and said we didn't realize that he was in uniform. >> which is wrong. >> it's different. but the trooper says he felt humiliated because of the way the manager yelled at him from across the room. >> exactly. second story was a school being accused of bullying a child asked to stand outside the class because he did not want to say the pledge of allegiance. he was told to stand outside if he wasn't going to stand. the superintendent was a veteran and he said i didn't want him to disturb and distract the other
children who wanted to say the pledge. so they put him outside. atheist group and parents saying that child was belayed. >> you're not supposed to reveal. the neighbors called the cops on a mom of three who let her six-year-old play outside. she was watching through the window. the cops come and ask her a bunch of questions. she really feels as though this nosey neighbor ruined her life. so now we put it up to you. we said what story bothers you the most? most intrigues you? >> 60% of you were bothered by the pledge bullying story where the child was asked to step outside after not standing and saying the pledge of allegiance. >> a quarter of you bugged by the cop who was asked to leave the waffle house and 16% about the nosey neighbor. it's interesting on the story on the pledge out of newtown, north dakota, apparently the father of the kid would not stand.
he said we're trying to raise free thinkers and that's why he didn't want his child to stand up. then they were asked to go out in the hall where you know what? the kid could have done some free thinking. >> right. >> here is what you're saying on facebook. deb says if you don't want to say he doesn't want to hear it either, so problem solved. a stand in the hall. >> on facebook, sherry said, i do not agree he should have had to stand in the hallway, if we're allowed our right to say it, then he should have been allowed his right to say it. that does not mean i condone. >> another says i was brought up to say the pledge of allegiance. sing the star spangled banner and always respect the flag of this great nation. how can other countries respect us if we don't start demanding those basic respects? be respected. so anyway, continue to e-mail us

stopping home grown terror in its tracks, that's a program being launched by feds in the twin cities to root out extremists being recruited by groups like isis and al-shabab. >> we're engaged with community leaders and we're engaged with concerned members of the public who are abhorred by what they see with respect to their young people and want to stop it. >> is this too little too late?
joining us is investigative reporter tom lyden. thanks for being with us this morning. initially what are your instincts about this program? you've seen it before. >> in some ways that is kind of the attitude here. we've seen things like this before. back in 2009 there was another federal grant, more federal money. that was two years after we had about 24 young people leave to go fight for al-shabab in somalia. the purpose this time, the goal, according to the u.s. attorney here, is going to be different. last time they had more of a law enforcement emphasis. this time they want to go after why we're having young people radicalized in the so place, disenfranchised young people unemployed, who might otherwise be recruited by the gang members. they really want to target them with youth programs like one we have here, small programs, doesn't get hardly any government funding. most of it's private. what they do is started up boy scout camps for somali kids, after school programs for the older teen-agers. they have spoken words. things that go after these kids
who may not have a job, english may not be spoken at home. and they're just prime recruiting for radical islamists who want to take these kids, give them some larger purpose. they tell them hey, your life may be meaningless. guess what? you can fight for the caliphate in syria and iraq. that will give broader purpose to your life. in some ways they really want to go after the root causes this time. >> getting into their hearts before evil does. how are they handling entering houses of worship, observing them without crossing the line into violation of rights? it may get tricky. >> it is tricky. i got to tell you, one member of the somali member said they want to work with the mosque. he said i want to make sure they're working with the right mosque. i don't want to have government resources or government money going to someone who, behind closed doors, is actually trying to radicalize people. the u.s. attorney here has a very good sense of that. he's been meeting with lots of local imams, loss of religious leaders. but it's fine line of the one of
the things we know is that there is intelligence on the ground. there are undercover f.b.i. agents who are gathering information, gathering informants. but there is also some suspicion in the somali community, when they hear about programs like this, they're worried is this really just a guise to get federal agents into programs and start monitoring us? so there is some natural suspicion on behalf of the somali community. >> isn't that part of the failure and the reason behind the failure in the past of these programs is lack of trust? >> it is. i got to tell you, it is a hard community to get into. the somali community here estimated about 70,000 to 100,000, no one has really precise numbers on it, but we're talking about community with four different clans. and under that, a bunch of different subclans. in many ways, some of the issues that have played out in somalia played out here. there's a lot of distrust of not only the authorities, but within the community itself. there are lots of clan
divisions. it's very hard to pierce that community and they've been trying for a very, very long time to build up those human connections, law enforcement and otherwise. >> of course. hopefully they're checking into the social media being used as a recruiting tool. good to see you. >> thank you. so many of you e-mailed us yesterday about this story. american flags confiscated on september 11. what do we do? we tracked down one of the moms who was so disgusted by what happened, she is fighting back. hear from h just ahead. and then, you know her as winnie cooper from "the wonder years." what is she up to now? danica is here walking into the studio with some huge news for you. ♪ ♪ [ hoof beats ]

nicole petallides live at the new york stock exchange to break it all down very shortly. good morning to you. >> and he was booted from "meet the press." not allowed to say good-bye. this morning david gregory is getting the last word. ♪ ♪
welcome back. quick headlines now. david gregory may have been silenced when he left "meet the press." but this morning he is getting the last word. he had this to say about journalism in washington. quote, things that frighten the narrative get harder to report, i think often because of laziness in the media, end quote. and jay carney, the former white house press secretary turned cnn contributor says he's biased about the president, saying
this, quote, i ain't going to express my views, but it would be disingenuous to pretend i wasn't loyal to the president. and speaking of politics, democrats may be turning on dnc head debbie wasserman schultz. reports of an internal struggle between her and the white house after a series of public slugs, including comments about scott walker, hasn't been sitting so well with them. fox news alert, labor department releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers. nicole petallides is live on the floor of the new york stock exchange and the numbers are, ma'am? >> they're looking pretty good here. let's break it down. 280,000. so that was better than what was expected. the consensus for this was 305,000. you don't want too many claims. you don't want them above 300,000. so that's good news there. that shows obviously a recovery.
it shows people are holding on to their jobs. that ultimately is good news. we've had an uneven recovery. we got in our housing starts today. building permits. those were weaker today. so it shows a mixed bag. we got the fed yesterday talking and obviously leaving those rates near zero for now. >> also, over at the "fox business" network, all day long they're covering the vote in scotland, whether or not to become independent of the united kingdom. how would that impact us here in the united states financially? >> what's interesting here is that obviously if they do not go independent, that's where the markets are getting on right now, that's why you're seeing futures with an up arrow. if they were to become independent, that could affect currencies, the pound in particular. that could go weaker. the dollar would be exceptionally strong. we don't necessarily want that. maybe european banks, that's the story there. this is an historic time.
you're talking about over 300 years of history. i know they have oil. i know they have scotch and the like. but we'll know by the end of the day. maybe we'll get a better feeling after the closing bell. so today will be a sort of uneven trading. this is where ali baba will trade. there will be a huge crowd. it could be the largest ipo ever. baba is the ticker symbol. tomorrow this will be a very big crowded trading post. >> you're all alone today. big crowd tomorrow. all right. thank you. meanwhile, it's 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this thursday. thousands of illegals are coming to the united states. john stossel says that's a good thing. why he says we should relax the rules and embrace the people from other lands. first we're going to check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning to you. there is a major plot busted you mentioned this earlier.

well, they are apparently coming to america. fearing a crackdown in washington, a new report claims tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are set to stream across our southern border. according to a 2012 report on the fiscal impact of immigration, illegal immigrants cost the united states of america $346 billion across 15
federal agencies each year. our next guest says america needs immigrants. john stossel host of "stossel" at fox business joins us live. >> i'm glad you corrected that. i don't say we want illegal immigrants. immigrants are good. >> we're a nation of immigrants. but people are concerned about the sudden -- the deluge of people coming across. >> it's awful that there is a swarm right there, but we have a smaller percentage of immigrants at the moment than we've had in the past. but these statistics come from an anti-immigration group. 47% are on welfare. 39% need food assistance. 35% use medicaid. wait a second. you're not eligible if you're an illegal immigrant for welfare. yes, their children use some of these services and more of them use welfare than americans 'cause more of them are poor. but the national research council, which is much better research, says if you include their children and what these
immigrants do later in life, they contribute on average $83,000 to america. >> you run through some of the companies that you claim are started by immigrants. >> they are. ebay, radio shack, sara lee, kraft food. blow dryers, all kinds of good stuff. >> we would still be towel drying if it wasn't for immigrants. >> i think we're just dealing with legal immigration and not illegal, these things wouldn't be argued. >> they can't get here legally. the waiting list, i want to say go back, apply and do it right. obey the law. if you're an indian computer programmer, you get here in 35 years. if you're a mexican high school student, 130 years. we're supposed to say obey the law. wait 130 years. >> so you're encouraging people, if you want to become an american, you're going to have to break the law? >> i don't want -- we should change the law to make it -- >> no doubt.
>> there is immigration reform that we agree on, people are argue being what not to do. we should do the easy stuff first. >> that's show business to argue about what we don't agree with. >> start with securing the southern border. >> which would be easier if people could come here to work easier and focus on the crooks and terrorists. >> john is going to be focusing on this tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern time over on the "fox business" network. they are coming to america. >> thanks for coming here. >> thanks. >> one for the road is next. ♪ ♪ ♪ there it is... this is where i met your grandpa. right under this tree.

>> jeffrey says it is not hate. it is heritage. >> thank you to evan who responded. appreciate it. we'll see you back here tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. "fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. it is wednesday, october 1. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. ebola here in america and this morning a warning to you, the very deadly and contagious virus may have spread. a hive report from the hospital straight -- a live report from the hospital straight ahead. >> the federal government getting involved now in the redskins controversy. the f.c.c. perhaps ready to ban announcers from saying the name "redskin" or face a big fine. >> as the secret service tries to explain how a guy with a knife ran into the east room, lawmakers offer a simple solution. >> have you ever heard of these guys? >> this morning the big question: how did a
convict with a gun get face-to-face with the president in a separate incident? but be happy everyone. mornings are better with friends. >> i'm bobby bowden. you're watching "fox & friends." >> bobby and everybody else, you're watching "fox & friends," and today we are clad in pink because october is breast cancer awareness month. >> it is. we encourage you to wear pink with us today. pink pajamas. throw on a pink tie like the guys. >> all of out there have a big head start on us. we had to remember at 3:00 in the morning. look at us and say now i remember why we should wear pink today. >> we'll remind you throughout the hour as well. >> this is one of those days where there's a lot of news and it starts in texas. >> a fox news alert. the first case of ebola found in america. at this hour the man this deadly disease in isolation at a
dallas, texas, hospital. that is where we have a reporter live. >> what is the latest on this very scary news? >> reporter: the patient in isolation in i.c.u. because of privacy laws, they can't disclose his condition or his nationality or age. but we can tell you that, they're telling us that he is communicating and even saying that he's hungry. here's what we know. this is the time line. the patient left liberia on september 19 arriving in dallas on the 20th. no symptom for four days. on friday, september 26, he came to the e.r. here at the presbyterian hospital. doctors say he showed no signs of anything unusual, nondescript systems, they say. lab results, they were not impressive as they called it. he did not say, though,
where he had traveled. he was given antibiotics, sent home. two days later on sunday, september 28, he was brought back to the hospital by ambulance to the e.r. he had diarrhea and other symptoms. it is important to know ebola is not an airborne virus. people have to come in contact with either blood or bodily fluids. >> we protect people in this case by making sure we find the contacts, identify them and make sure they're traced every day for 21 days. if they develop a fever, they're immediately isolated. >> officials here working with the c.d.c. to identify those who came in contact with him, including family members as well as other patients in the e.r. who were here on friday. again, they don't believe that those folks are in immediate danger, if you will, because of how this
virus is transmitted. >> live in dallas, texas, at the hospital where -- this is an interesting bit of trivia. guess where my daughter works in dallas, texas? across the street from that hospital. i was talking to her last night. she said people down this, are you kidding? ebola is in america? we heard the president say it wasn't going to come here but it's here. the guy who heads up the c.d.c. with us in about an hour from now. he says they're on it. you don't have to worry. >> i watched him about 6:00 yesterday. the press conference was almost surreal, in the phone, on person, anybody else come in. we got it under control. got to run. >> it is interesting as we move into our next story, the president is actually visiting with the c.d.c. to get information on this situation. and this is where a huge
secret service breakdown took place worse than we ever thought. apparently a convict came within inches of our president. this is two weeks ago. and no one even knew he had a gun until he ended up turning it over. shocking. >> this is on the heels of the guy who ran into the east room of the white house with a gun, omar gonzalez, you saw right there. what's extraordinary about this case is -- and jason chaffitz found out about this from a whistle-blower. some people are trying to throw the director of the secret service under the bus. the president is in an elevator in atlanta and a security contractor who had three felony convictions over in the corner he's got a cell phone and taking a picture of the president. one of the secret service guys says stop that. he keeps doing it. the president gets off the
elevator and the agents go over and say what is your deal? they ran a background check, found out he had three convictions for assault and battery. they called his supervisor and the supervisor said you're fired. then the guy goes, all right, fine, then i'm going to turn in my weapon. then they go he had a gun? are you kidding me? >> not until that point did they know. >> no idea. a huge breach. you understand why the grilling took place with the head of this department there on capitol hill. this is a systemic issue here. why aren't they taking it seriously? we're talking about the director, judy pierson. >> don't let somebody get close to the president. don't let somebody get close to his family. don't let them get in the white house ever. if they have to take action that's lethal, i will have their back. >> this, ladies and gentlemen, is not a democratic issue. this is not a republican issue. this is an american issue.
this is also an issue of national security. >> have you ever heard of these guys? i wish to god you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here. >> this is unacceptable, and i take full responsibility. and i will make sure that it does not happen again. >> all these excuses. moral is down. some actually said sequester cut into the funding. the guys are overworked. a lack of leadership. just unbelievable because the secret service, if you come to new york when the president comes here, everything stops. innocent people can't get anywhere and you almost think it's overkill. on the other hand, you find out there's no excuse for the fact that this guy, omar gonzalez, gets over the fence, gets into the house, across the lawn with the ushers deciding to suppress the alarm as he gets inside. off-duty secret service officer is the one who tackles him, who is the detail assigned to the
children. all this happens, and i think this woman in a way i feel so bad for her because she just took over a few months ago. she took over to bring some, i guess some sensitivity within the secret service because of two international incidents. >> she was also asked how many times she brings it to the president's attention when something like this happens. once in the past year in 2014 where this was actually brought to the president's attention. this is something looked at to be a systemic issue where those in the secret service apparently close to this situation feel as though they don't feel comfortable going to their superiors when they're not comfortable in a situation that could be potentially deadly or dangerous for our commander in chief. >> there's a fellow named dan emmet, former secret service marine as well. he says there's got to be big changes at the secret service. he says she has got to go. she's great. she's a career officer. she's a former cop. she was in the secret service for a long time but
she's got no military background. and he makes the argument we are a nation at war. you need somebody with a military background. what he's suggesting is the military take over. he suggests lieutenant colonel allen west because he's a leader, he's got great diplomatic skills and you know what? he's got a military background. >> that is the facebook question. do you believe it is time for the military to take over the secret service? in your mind is lieutenant colonel allen west the perfect mix of military and congressional leader? meanwhile heather nauert is poised to tell us what else is happening. >> hi. you were talking about the c.d.c. they are still investigating what has so many parents nervous this morning. an alarming report is out that that fast moving mystery virus that has sent thousands of children to the hospital all across the country and is believed to be paralyzing some is growing this morning. doctors first reported ten cases in denver, colorado, and now there are four new cases in boston. the victims there range in
age from 4 to 15 years old. a christmas party turned into a scene of mass murder and today muhammad muhammad will learn if he gets to leave prison if he is an old man. he was arrested in 2010 but he pressed a button on his cell phone to trigger a bomb and to try to kill thousands of people at a christmas tree lighting in portland. the bomb turned out to be a fake. pras provided by undercover -- it was provided by undercover agents. he could spend 40 years behind bar. >> police are saying aaron lewis, the suspect accused of murdering the real estate agent in arkansas is the only suspect in the case, even though we heard this yesterday. he pointed the finger at another man on live television. [inaudible] >> the air force has a military base -- >> why beverly? >> she was a rich broker.
>> do you have anything to say to the family? >> beverly is the victim right there. police question that man trevor he spoke about but they ruled him out. lewis could face the death penalty. he is behind bars for murder but this morning van der sloot is now a father. his wife whom he met while he was in prison gave birth to a baby girl. van der sloot is behind bars for a 20 year sentence for a murder in peru. he remains the prime suspect. >> in the world of sports the f.c.c. yesterday says they're considering complaints filed to them by a person who is concerned about the renewal of the washington sports station that carries the redskins, wwxf f.m. why? they keep using the name
redskins because that is the name of the team in the national football league and tom wheeler is considering whether they should get a license or not because they use this name. >> they could get severe punishment to be determined here. the owner, dan snyder, said he's not going to change the name. earlier this year the u.s. patent and trademark canceled the team's trademark on the famous logo saying it was disparaging to native americans. the team appealed the decision. this fine or punishment for anyone saying it over the air waves is a significant consideration. >> the f.c.c. would have to first pull the license that radio station. if they do, they effectively ban the use of that word on other radio stations and tv stations as well. wouldn't impact cable and stuff like that. nonetheless, we want to know what do you think? here's the administration once again injecting themselves into this debate about whether or not it is appropriate to use the word "redskins." the name "redskins. "until they change the name, the name is the name.
>> sitting bull called himself a redskin. the team was named in salute to the redskins. the redskins fans want it. the indian tribes in 2004, 90% had no problem with it. now 70% have no problem. what is the problem? >> let us know what you think. >> 6:13. coming up, he murdered a police officer in cold blood and is in prison but that won't stop him from giving a college commencement speech and you won't believe who invited that guy. >> chef emril is dipping into politics. his opinion on why the economy is tanking and why the president is to blame. ♪ ♪ ♪

know one confirmed case of ebola in the united states. what more do we know about this patient? >> we don't know a whole lot more than what the c.d.c. said. we we know is the patient traveled from liberia, got on a plane, was completely well when he got on the plane and developed symptoms after arriving in the united states. a few days later presented to medical care and was identified as a suspected ebola case. >> have they confirmed whether or not he came into close contact with any others and testing them as well? >> they know he's been in close cabt with some family -- contact with some family members and the health care providers who have been caring for him. they are in the process -- my understanding is the c.d.c. is in the process of investigating those close contacts and checking them for symptoms. >> is this virus, ebola, is it different here? is it different here in the united states than africa? if so, why? >> the virus itself isn't any different but the way we can care for it is different. the big problem with
transmission in africa is they don't have as many resources in terms of protective equipment. they have care practices that sometimes involve coming into contact more with bodily influence. here we've got modern equipment so it is a different beast. >> is it contagious if you're near somebody? is it contagious through air? how do you get it? >> it is not contagious through air per se. if i had ebola and sneezed right now and happened to get mucous on your face that potentially could transmit it. you need direct contact from fluids. if somebody is having vomiting, having diarrhea, bleeding and spitting up or sneezing, things like that. casual contact like we're having here is not a concern. >> i guess what's going through my mind and i'm sure many others, he went on a plane. that's close contact and that air is recirculated.
humidification systems et cetera. likely the chance for transmission or contamination is high. what are they doing to keepthese so the next round of people who get on there are not at risk or those who were on the plane are not at risk? >> you would think they were at risk but ebola is only transmitted when people have symptoms. what they're doing is at the airports they're screening everybody with thermometers. and anybody who has a temperature they're pulling aside. someone who is a symptomatic when they get on the plane can't transmit the virus. >> dr. hymes, thank you for joining us on a very important medical day. coming up, a television reporter makes a mother break down in tears. what did he do? we're going to roll that videotape for you. he dropped to his knees in prear and -- in prayer and was slapped with a

degree by mail also it sets up the insensitivity of this new class of students who don't realize that somebody lost their husband and father when they were shot in the head by this guy. >> marie faulkner had this to say. >> i am outraged they would have such a hate-filled murderer on as a commencement speaker. i mean, this man, he
murdered my husband with malice and premeditation. he is evil. what does he have to offer on any commencement? >> their commencement speech. >> exactly. she also said the selection of him was despicable. you know, here's the thing. les -- let's review. these nitwits at goddard college can choose anyone they want to. this choose this killer to be their commencement speaker. across the river at rutgers they said we don't want condi rice. is there a problem with this picture? >> this is a woman who already suffered the loss of her husband who was serving to protect his community. and every single time that this man, third time now, has been asked to give a commencement speech, she has to relive and hear his words, the pain there is immeasurable, i'm sure. >> 24 minutes before the top of the hour. tell us what you think about that on twitter and

just about 15 minutes till the top of the hour. we have some headlines. just call it the end of an era. the end of classic cartoons on saturday morning. could it be? this past saturday the c.w. became the last broadcast television network to air cartoons in their classic time spot. broadcast channels face increased pressure from cable forcing them to replace the programming. so no more scobeeee and the gang in the morning. >> get ready for the coffee maker-toaster combo. it can brew coffee and make toast at the same time. that is some good news, steve. >> that is a game changer. meanwhile, g.o.p. incumbent pat roberts, a senator,
neck and neck with independent greg orman who is making his message very clear. >> we are sending the worst of both parties to washington, bitter pts partisans who care more about pleasing the extremists than they care about moving our country forward. >> he is running as an independent because they essentially forced the democrat to get out of the race. but is he really a democrat in disguise? here to way in from rearclearpolitics.com. this made big news a couple of weeks ago where harry reid called the democrats running for senate in kansas and said you've got to drop out and this left this guy, mr. orman, who is now neck and neck or a little ahead of of the incumbent. >> it has been fascinating
to watch. roberts had trouble there, made it through the primary and republicans thought it would be okay in this three-way race. the democrat got out of the race and the independent is running almost ahead of him in some cases. and the republican party has flown out all the top surrogates that they can think of to campaign for roberts, spending some money this. this is a real wild card to watch in an extremely close race across the map. >> and he's running right now as an independent and he says i did vote for barack obama in 2008, the same year that i ran for senate against pat roberts as a democrat. john mccain came out to campaign on his behalf and said, look, the guy's a democrat. >> and republicans are pushing this very, very strongly, saying that he's kind of a democrat disguised as an independent. republicans are trying to get kansas voters to think about that in these last few weeks of the campaign.
>> meanwhile pat roberts has a new campaign ad out, and here's 15 seconds of it. >> politician greg orman would make things worse. orman gave thousands of dollars to elect barack obama, even harry reid. now orman says he supports giving amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. greg orman is not independent. >> what's curious right now kaitlyn is the fabt that now that he's surging he's been asked questions like where are you on keystone pipeline? i don't know. what about an assault weapon ban? i don't know. what about whether you would cawkdz with the -- whether you would caucus with the democrats or republicans? i don't know. >> he's not really saying where he stands on particular issues, giving broader assessments. what's so fascinating about this race is that if there is a tie in the senate
outcomes of these races, this could be a deciding race. and that will determine which party he caucuses with. >> all eyes on kansas. kaitlyn, thank you for joining us live today. coming up on this wednesday, so many of you have questions about the ebola virus. so do we. the director of the c.d.c., dr. tom frieden will join us live to answer them. a high school football team touches this historic statue before every game. it is a tradition, but atheists say it's too christian. one of those football players who touches that statue joins us next. ♪ ♪ will that be all, sir? ♪

a high school football team's pregame tradition of touching a statue is making atheists furious. they claim engraved biblical verses violate the constitution and demanding that it be removed. sam bartlet is one of the football players fighting to keep the statue there and he joins us now. sam, thanks for getting up early this morning. we appreciate you being here. tell us what this statue actually means to you guys as players. >> well, it was actually donated to us by the same person who built our new locker room and it's a very nice facility. what it personally means to me is i am a christian and it does have the biblical versines there
and i'm very proud of this because it's a way to represent my faith and get christ's name out there where i can glorify him. >> talk about stepping up the defense there. what do your teammates say? do they want it to go or stay? >> many of my teammates agree with me and we personally are very thankful for the man that built this statue because he did it and donated it where it was totally free to our school. our school had no part in it. it was just a donation given by him along with the locker room. >> and so when you hear someone say look, this is a violation of my right to not believe in god, what do you say to someone who wants this removed, to the atheist group saying take this out of here? >> i personally don't have any anger towards them. i disagree. i feel like this is a way for me to represent my faith because
jesus christ died on the cross for my sins, along with everyone else's. i don't feel like they're in the wrong because i understand where they're coming from, but the thing is like god, even before the statue was put up, was still god. even if that has to be altered or taken down, he will still be on his throne and he will still be my god and i will continue to glorify him. i have no anger or resentment toward them. >> kind of strong message. what's the school doing? >> right now the school is under like -- they have about a two-week period to make a decision on how this will be modified by either the statue being modified or taken down so we don't violate any laws or anything and get sued for them. >> okay. let me tell you something, i know this week is a tough one for you. hurt your ankle. you got two weeks out, i believe, and i'm sure the verses

good morning. it is wednesday, october 1. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. ebola arrives in america. a man in texas infected. this morning a new warning, the
deadly virus may have spread. a live report from the hospital straight ahead. wow. the secret service left fumbling trying to explain how a convict with a gun got face-to-face with the president. is it time for somebody else to take over security of our commander in chief? and they waited hours for their food on their anniversary. so why did they give their waiter a $100 tip? you know what? we're going to ask them because they are here live on this wednesday morning and live from new york city, you're watching "fox & friends." >> this is dr. phil. you're watching "fox & friends," the best treatment for waking up in the morning. >> i wonder if that's going to bug dr. keith ablow. >> of course. >> we're wearing pink for a great reason. >> it is breast cancer awareness month as we begin october and we just want to reach out with our
awareness. you can join us in wearing pink, maybe send us a photo. >> also this morning, it's ebola awareness because ebola, ground zero, for ebola in the south. >> we're going to get to that fox news alert for you. the first case of ebola found on american soil. the cdc confirming a patient diagnosed with the deadly disease is in isolation in a dallas hospital. this is where we have k dfw reporter saul garza to give us the latest. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. in isolation, in icu. that's pretty much it. we do not know his condition because of privacy laws. all we know is that he is communicating. let's tell you what we do know and give you a time line here. the patient left liberia on september 19, arriving in dallas on the 20th. no symptoms at all for four days. then on friday, september 26, he
came to the e.r. here at texas presbyterian hospital. doctors say he showed no symptoms of anything unusual, they say. lab tests were not impressive, as they call it. but he did not tell the staff here that he had been or had just traveled from liberia. but he was given antibiotics and then sent home. two days later on sunday, 28th, he was back here at the hospital, brought by ambulance to the emergency room and since then, he has been in isolation and yesterday is when it was official that he did have the ebola virus. officials here working to identify right now those who came in contact with him and that includes his family members, the folks here at the e.r., both from friday and on sunday, as well as the paramedics who brought him here. all those folks now being carefully monitored to see if they start showing any symptoms.
>> all right. saul garza live in dallas with the very latest, we thank you very much. we know you have a lot of questions about ebola. in a couple of minute, we're going to have the director of the cdc, dr. freeden, with us. if you have a particular question of interest to ask the good doctor, e-mail it to us right now or facebook it or tweet us and we will pass it on. >> that's right. now this, a shocking secret service breakdown, just three days the white house fence jumper now disclosed security breach that has everybody up in arms, to say the least. a report claimed an armed convict got into an elevator with president obama. this is two weeks ago, and no one even knew he had a gun. he was taking videos and photos of the president and three convictions on his record there for assault. he's in an elevator, probably inches away from the president of the united states and no one
even knew he had a gun about on him until he handed it over. >> if he wasn't such a knuckle head and ignoring the secret service saying turn it off, we never would have found out how bad he was and how much danger the president potentially could have been in. >> jason chaffetz heard about this particular breakdown from a whistle blower and he said, quote, the president's life was in danger. this country would be a different world today if he had pulled out his gun. so this very embarrassing news for the secret service came on the same day the director of the secret service was in the hot seat trying to answer the questions about how the guy with the knife and only a partial foot was able to jump the fence, run in through the unlocked front door of the white house and got into the east room before somebody who was off duty and just happened to be passing through saw him and tackled him. how does that happen?
well, it was a substantial grilling and here is the director trying to answer the congress' questions. >> we have an automated system that can lock down the white house. $800 million a year and that door was unlocked with no one standing at it when mr. gonzalez came through it. is that correct? >> the door was unlocked at the time of mr. gonzalez' ent)y, that's correct. >> the full length of the east room, down to the green room, to the american public, that would be half of a white house tour and there should be an immediate understanding that there is not a restraint factor here. this is not the nice cuddly secret service. >> so the big question is, and there was an editorial today, as we see that the secret service has fallen on the job at least two times, it was all about the international incidents that took place a few years ago and we know this, most are extraordinary people who sign a letter saying i will take a
bullet for somebody i barely know. very brave people. but maybe it's a situation where being that we've been on a war footing really for 13 years whether they admit it or not, is this time for the military to take over? >> that's the case that dan emmitt, former secret service agent, former c.i.a. guy, he's a marine, he says the fence jumping and the fact that this particular guy, mr. gonzalez got that far, will embolden isis and others because you can do that. we need somebody who has got military background and he suggests number one, bring in the u.s. military essentially to guard the president of the united states and also says while julia pierson, former cop, 30 years at the secret service, highly competent, has good record, okay, she's done okay so far. but she's not the person for the job. we're in a war footing. he says we need somebody to lead in this time of war who has got some military background. he suggests somebody like
lieutenant colonel allen west who was actually on this program a couple days ago. he's a leader. he's got a military background. he's got good diplomatic skills. he suggests somebody like that instead of the person who is at the head of the agency right now. >> good leadership would be key. >> right. >> and also we put that on facebook. people are going crazy writing back and forth. seven minutes after the top of the hour. other big news today, accused of beheading a co-worker while shouting arabic phrases. his facebook includes photos of osama bin laden. casey stegall live outside the jail in norman, oklahoma, where the suspect is expected to arrive today. it was a bizarre set of circumstances yesterday, casey. where are we at? >> reporter: yeah. we have a clearer picture now after this press conference of the district attorney held yesterday. this clearer picture of what happened inside that food processing facility where this
unspeakable crime occurred last week. the d.a. now says that the man involved had been in some kind of an altercation with his co-workers earlier in the day over race. those co-workers apparently went to human resources and turned him in and then when hr later confronted 30-year-old altton nolan and suspended him for a few days, initially we were told he had been fired. he was actually suspended, escorted off the property. he went home, got the knife and then returned they say to exact revenge on the people who had turned him in to hr. officials have backed off their initial story that he had been turned in for trying to convert his co-workers to islam. however, listen to this interesting bit of information the d.a. said. >> my understanding that he was using some arabic terms during the attacks and certainly that's
one of the many reasons why the f.b.i. is involved at this point in time. >> reporter: he is still in the hospital this morning. we are told he is expected to be released at some point today. he will then be brought to this location where he will be formally arraigned by video conference. we'll be here and keep you posted. >> all right. casey stegall live in norman, oklahoma with the latest. it's interesting that the d.a. should say arabic phrases. i mean, the average person in oklahoma, what arabic phrases do they know, have they heard, aside from alu akbar? we don't know what it is, but if it is something other than that, why haven't we heard whatever it was? >> also they want to make it about race and is it really about terror or both? nine minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert here with the latest. >> he tried to turn a christmas party into a scene of mass murder. this happened four years ago. today mohammed mohammed will
learn if he gets to leave prison before he's an old man. he was arrested in 2010, he pressed a button on his cell phone to trigger a bomb and kill thousands of people at a christmas tree lighting in portland, oregon. the bomb turned out to be a fake. it was provided by undercover agents. he could spend the next 40 years hyped bars. an alarming new report out that fast-moving virus that is sending thousands of children to the hospital in virtually every state is believed to be paralyzing some is now growing. this morning there are now four cases that have now been reported in boston. the victims there range in age from four to 15 years old. doctors first reported ten cases in denver, colorado, a few days back. the cdc is now investigating. talk about adding insult to injury, an already crumbling atlantic city. look at this. battered this time by a massive fire. this video just in to "fox & friends" a short while ago. those flames ripping through several buildings just steps
from the boardwalk there. no one has been hurt so far. but 17 people are now without a place to live this morning. atlantic city reeling from the closure of several casinos. i can't believe wal-mart is blaming me. that from tracy morgan. he is now firing back at the company after the company pointed the finger at him. wal-mart saying that the injuries from the crash were, quote, caused in whole or in part by the plaintiff's failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt. he felt compelled to speak out. not too happy. >> thank you very much. the sec received a petition to deny renewing the license of a radio station, sports radio station in washington, d.c. because they used the term, redskins all the time. it's the name of the team. well, if the fcc pulls the license, that will effectively
ban stations from using redskins. we asked you in the last hour what you thought about it and the twitter machine and e-mail machine has lighted up. >> that's right. one says this, new sec means federal control of citizens instead of federal communications commission. >> david says on twitter, they are going way too far. but yet again, the pc police just will not stop. >> and bill e mailed us and writes, i'm not a big football fan, but i feel the redskins name is no different than the indians or chiefs. the government needs to keep their noses out of it. >> or braves. >> there go. >> keep them coming. we'll watch and read. 12 minutes after the hour. >> many of you have questions about the ebola virus that is in dallas right now. so do we. the director of the cdc about be here to answer them live coming up next. and he dropped had his knees in prayer and slapped with a penalty. was he punished because it's a muslim prayer? the football controversy brewing this morning. ♪ ♪

joins us live from atlanta, georgia. good morning. >> good morning. >> i saw your press conference yesterday. i know you say the public has nothing to worry about, but my daughter works in the building directly across the street from the hospital and i talked to her last night. she's a little freaked out. >> i understand. people are scared. it's a scary disease, but she's not a contact. let's go back and look at the plain truth of how ebola spreads. it only spreads from someone who is sick and only spreads from direct contact with the person or their body fluids. >> all right. we asked folks if they had any questions for you and we have hundreds of questions. somebody by the name of sally, my daughter's name, wrote this: why are we not stopping air travel between liberia and other nations struggling with the virus? why allow flights into the united states, doctor? >> the bottom line is that the best way to protect americans is
first stop it at the source in africa. second, make sure that every single traveler who leaves the countries where ebola is spreading gets screened for fever. and cdc teams are on the ground and have made sure that that happens 100% of the time. and third, make sure that doctors and other health work increase this country think about the possibility of ebola in anyone who has been in west africa for the past 21 days. and test them and isolate them if they have been. >> let me ask you this, you say that we've got cdc people there on the ground in west africa screening people as they get on the airplane. how do they do that? do they say, do you have a fever? do they have a wand to wave to see if they've got a fever? do they just ask them? >> two different processes. one is a questionnaire where a series of questions is asked and second, hand held thermometers that work from a distance. so every single patient's temperature is measured at least once, often two or three times before they get on a plane.
that's important not only to protect other people, but also to keep the airlines flying. the impulse might be to isolate these countries. if we do that, we'll be increasing our own risk because really the simple truth is by stopping it there there and by helping them stop it there, we're helping ourselves. >> you talked about how this guy's family there in the dallas area, you're monitoring them. i know three of the emergency workers who drove the ambulance are being monitored. what about the people who were in the emergency room when he first came in and said, i don't feel good, and they said, take some antibiotics, go home? those people are being monitored, too, right? >> we have a nine-person team in dallas working with the hospital, with the health department and the family to identify every possible contact and will be monitoring every one of those individuals for 21 days. that's the tried and true public health means of stopping an ebola outbreak. >> one other theme we got on the e-mail was this, this is a
political thing, but you're part of the administration. they feel that the administration has misled a lot of people on a lot of things. why should we believe you when you're telling us this stuff? >> well, our approach at cdc is always to tell people more rather than less. we are going to tell you what happens, when it happens, when we don't know something, we'll tell that you as well. we level with people because that's the most important way, and that's the most effective way to get the information across and to get people to understand what we need to do and the fact is that what we need to do here is to trace every one of the contact carefully. and more broadly, stop it in africa for not just their sakes, but for ours. >> dr. frighten, i know you got a busy day, thanks for spending time with us today. >> thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, how would you like some free legal advice? you can't have it, but illegal
immigrants can at taxpayers' expense. the multi million dollar program that's bound to cause some controversy this morning. they waited hours for their food on their anniversary. why did they give the waiter a $100 tip? that couple joins us next to explain.
$100 million, that's how much taxpayer money the pentagon spent bringing military trucks we do not need back from afghanistan. the new report finds in one year alone, 1,000 vehicles were shipped. the cost per truck? $107,000. please don't use it. next, $9 million. that's how much you the taxpayers pay to give children that cross into the country illegally from mexico, an attorney. the feds shelling out the amount over the last two years. over the next two years. finally, 788 hours. that's how much time president obama has spent golfing since
taking office. he's only attended 700 hours of his daily intelligence briefings. you make the call on the difference. elizabeth? >> thanks. it was supposed to be a nice night out to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. instead they waited 20 minutes for a server to take their drink order and we've all had experiences like that and been on the other end. but what they decided to do next was pretty extraordinary. instead of leaving a bad tip, they left a $100 tip on a 66-dollar tab. and a note that said we've been in your shoes. paying it forward. their kind act has to say the least gone viral over 1.5 million likes on facebook. joining me are the couple. happy anniversary, first of all. we keep hearing how horrible this dinner was. >> thank you. >> tell us exactly -- describe the night for us. how bad was the night? >> well, from the moment we sat down, we could tell it was a
little chaotic in the whole restaurant. you could see that they were understaffed and it was dinner time. so people were coming in the door fast and sitting down. so we sat down and within -- took us probably 20 minutes before we even were greeted or had water at the table. we decided to stay. we just were excited to try the food and from the minute we started the meal, we could just tell that everything was going to take a really long time. the server really didn't have much time to interact with us at all. so we could hear tables around us complaining and just really upset with the service and saying they weren't going to be coming back. one table did get up and leave. actually one table walked in and decided to leave and another table said the service is so bad, i don't think you'll want to stay here. so they went to another restaurant. we fell into that negativity at first and were kind of talking to each other about it and -- but halfway through the meal, we

disease is in isolation at aita. john roberts is live at the cdc headquarters in atlanta. john, are we -- we just had the guy who runs the cdc on and he wants to make sure everybody understands don't panic. >> reporter: right. that is the job of public health officials is to tell people not to panic. but there certainly are plenty of reasons for people to be concerned, particularly people who were in close contact with this fellow while he was showing symptoms. it looks like that might be limbed to family members. the doctor said yesterday that he expects at least a couple more patients may come forward presenting with symptoms of ebola in the wake of this. what he did say, however, was he doesn't believe that people who were on the aircraft that flew with this fellow from liberia here and we don't yet know how he got here. but it could be logical to assume maybe he flew an african regional carrier to nigeria and
then flew from there here because there are plenty of flights between the united states and nigeria. he thinks because he was asymptomatic at the time, there is no need to screen those passengers. if you look at the math here, eight to ten days on average for incubation, ten days ago he flew here. if somebody was going to get sick, we might know about it by now. he was also asked this morning whether or not it made sense to suspend flights between the united states and west africa or other european countries in west africa. here is what he said. >> the impulse might be to isolate these countries. if we do that, we'll actually be increasing our own risk because really the simple truth is by stopping it there and by helping them stop it there, we're helping ourselves. >> reporter: obviously when there was a big outbreak you need to stop it in those countries. however that, is very problematic because of the lack of medical facilities. if you look at what happened in
nigeria where the american flew in august, 19 other people were infected after he died from ebola. nigeria was able to get a lid on it and yesterday the cdc said it looked like that outbreak there was contained. our facilities here in the united states, much better than in nigeria. in terms of what's happening in west africa, that's still out of control and as long as people are migrating between the countries, there is always a chance that someone will get on an aircraft and land here in the united states infected with ebola. >> of course, are you just -- are you saying there is going to be no follow-up to the passengers of that plane as reported of yet, not in eight days, not in five days to see if any of them are displaying symptoms? >> reporter: at this point in time, the centers for disease control sees no reason to go back and monitor people who were on board the aircraft because dr. frieden says there is absolutely zero chance he passed along the virus to anyone traveling with him. what they're going to focus on immediately is family members that this guy had contact with,
medical workers he had contact with when he first came to the hospital on the 26th of september presenting with symptoms and then when he came back on the 28th and was admitted. i don't know if everybody on the aircraft will feel comfortable about being monitored, but that's where they're going right now. >> john roberts. >> thank you. >> heather inaugurate, turning our attention to boston. >> the sister of the accused boston bombers is complaining hyped bars. she says she never threatened to blow up her boyfriend's ex and is being targeted because of her family. she was sent to the slammer when she couldn't come up with $5 million in bail. the luggage thief striking again. look at this video here. two men get out of a red car, make their way into phoenix' sky harbor airport.
they go to baggage claim, they walk away with three pieces of luggage, just sort of calmly putting the cases into their cars, like they owned them. weeks before at the same airport, a guy hops off the airport train, stole a suitcase, hopped back on without anyone noticing. a woman found alive after she was kidnapped and then shoved into the trunk of her car and held captive there for two days. dehydrated and struggling to breathe, she pounded on the car from the inside. good samaritans heard her. they called 911. but they could not wait for the emergency vehicles to get there. they threw a brick through the window and then were able to pop the trunk. the victim says she has no memory of what happened. listen. >> she got to a vehicle, there was a man inside, a white male in miss positive. she drove him around for a couple of days. she's not sure exactly where and what that situation was and subsequently she ended up inside
the trunk. >> thank goodness she's okay. she's now in the hospital with a broken arm. no arrests have been made just yet. in kansas city, the nfl admitting they got it wrong by flagging chief safety for celebrate ago touchdown monday night with a muslim prayer, excessive celebrations include kneeling. they get an automatic penalty. there is an exemption for players going to the ground for religious reasons. those are your headlines. >> october is national pizza month, heather. entire month dedicated to one of america's favorite foods. to celebrate, we're cooking up personal pizzas with papa murphy's. so we're getting our gear on to celebrate. how many slices of pizza are consumed throughout the year? >> starting with national pizza

the police protect us. that's the nature of their job. who is forgetting our police? officer deaths in the line of duty, up 16% from last year. the president and members of his administration are giving speeches like this. >> as an african-american man who has been stopped and
searched by police in situations where such action was not warranted, i also carry with me an understanding of the mistrust that some citizens harbor for those who wear the badge. >> in too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement. >> wow. is the obama administration turning its back on our police officers? ron hoskow is the former assistant director of the f.b.i. and president of the law enforcement legal defense fund. ron, is this the wrong tone or just an accurate tone we're getting from the white house? >> i think that it's a tone they've been setting both the president and the attorney general for some period of time where race has become the topic of the conversation. the president has made some comments about having the bigger conversation. from my view of law enforcement, i think law enforcement would welcome that conversation.
>> but you want to have a conversation that's a little bit broader than mistrust. you want to talk about actually race and law enforcement and who is committing the crimes and the role of the officers officers is well as the assailants. >> absolutely. everybody should be on the table. we look at places around our country. you can count chicago and philly and camden, oakland, flint, michigan, detroit that are high crime areas that police, it's their role to go there and police and sort through the bodies in the street and try to identify witnesses and build cases. and there is great distrust in those communities. in places where it's not police doing the killing, it's somebody else doing the killing. >> assaults are up, deaths are up. what about attitude on the streets for those who enforce the law, who don't make a million dollars and one of the few jobs you get up in the morning and not sure you'll go home at night? >> that's a great point. i'm very troubled by the tone of
the conversation, particularly in the wake of the ferguson situation. every year there are dozens of police officers killed in the line of duty. every year there are somewhere between 50 and 60,000 law enforcement officers assaulted while they're doing their job or trying to do their job. a mile from me is a memorial with over 20,000 names of deceased law enforcement officers carved into stone walls. i think that has to be part of the conversation, the role of our police in a civil society and i'm not sure about the balance of the current administration. i noted three cases this summer where police officers were killed in the line of duty. and violent crimes. i did not see comments by the president. i did not see representatives from the white house at their funerals. i did not hear from the attorney general on any of those. >> the good news is, i think, the attorney general is leaving, we don't know how much damage he's actually done.

of this suspected killer? we're talking to psychiatrist and fox news contributor dr. keith ablow. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> first of all, what did you make of the fact that he oftentimes there are news cameras around during the perp walks. usually nobody says anything. why would he feel like this is his chance to spill the beans? >> well, here is the thing, we don't know whether the guy is absolutely guilty or not. one thing i've noticed in researching killers, particularly ones with a lot of narcissism, is that they think they're more believable than they are. so because they can't empathize, they can't feel the suffering of victims, they can't beauty emotions, so they think you'll believe their tall tales. and that may or may not be happening here because we don't know for sure whether the guy is guilty. >> so that i'm sorry doesn't necessarily mean anything? >> well, i'm sorry for this fellow may not mean much.
it seems very surgical in its approach. it doesn't mean he wasn't there or in some way knew about it, but it's a hollow i'm sorry and almost like look, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, i'm sorry the car hit you. but i don't feel anything about it. >> so it's fascinating and horrifying. listen to him a little later that afternoon. >> are you hurting for some reason? >> yeah. >> what's hurting? >> i got in a car wreck the other day. i haven't been to the hospital yet. >> you pled not guilty. why? >> because that's what my lawyer said to do. >> reporter: why? >> just wanting this all over with. just sorry it all happened. i just want it all over. >> wants it all over with. your characterization of his attitude? >> again, you would say if this were a fellow who was for some reason wrongly accused, sure, you would want it all over with. but the reason this is chilling is because of the lack of
affect. if you or if i were in that situation and wrongly accused or god forbid had done something that was against the law, you'd be weeping, yelling, let me out of here. i can't believe this happened. not this guy. this guy is generally very even, even after saying i'm in pain. >> absolutely. and before he said i'm sorry, is he -- why her? he said, she's a rich broker. what is the fact that she's a rich broker have to say? >> well, i think he said she was working alone. i believe he said that. i think we may see more of this. in other words, the division that has been encouraged between different classes in our culture, which is wrong, we're one people, can lead to violence because it suggests the person is the other, in the same way that folks hobbled by prejudice look at other races as the other. this could happen with socioeconomic groups and that
would be devastating for our country. >> it was almost like him saying of course, why wouldn't i? she's rich, alone. i got money. >> is that a justification in his mind? >> again, imagine this fellow attacking you or stalking you or trying to plead with somebody like this because what you get back is arithmetic. not feeling. she was a rich broker. what do you have to say? sorry. why did you plead not guilty? my lawyer told me to. why are you doing this to me with the knife? because. >> thanks so much. >> yep. >> it's troubling. >> thank you, dr. keith. coming up. >> he considered himself a progressive, even worked for liberal michael moore until he made a documentary about islam, then everything he believed in changed. that film maker will join us here. then the federal communications commission ready to perhaps ban announcers from saying the name redskins, which is the name, or they face a fine. is it really the job of the

good morning. it is wednesday, october 1. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with o -- a fox news alert. ebola here in america. this morning a warning for you. it may have spread. what you need to know about this very deadly and contagious virus straight ahead. and as the secret service tries to explain how a guy with a knife ran into the east room, lawmakers offer a simple solution. >> have you ever heard of these guys? just 39 bucks a month. but this morning the big question, how did a convict with a gun get face-to-face with the president on an elevator? and the government getting involved in the redskin controversy. the fcc ready to ban announcers from saying the name or face a
fine? your e-mails pouring in on this because mornings are better with friends. >> hi, this is sam waterston. you're watching "fox & friends". >> we're really kind of a law and order kind of show. but today we're talking medicine and we're talking about things you're worried about regarding ebola. the first case of ebola found on american soil at this hour, a man, sounds like he's from liberia, diagnosed with the disease in isolation at that dallas hospital. we spoke to the director of the cdc earlier about the fears of the virus could be spread on airplanes. he says everything is fine because there is a strict screening process before they get on the plane. >> one of the questionnaire, where a series of questions is asked. and second, there are hand-held thermometers that work from a distance, so every single patient's temperature is
measured at least once, often two or three times before they get on a plane. that's important not only to protect other people, but also to keep the airlines flying. >> what exactly do we all need to know this morning? we're going to ask disease specialist the very questions. this is a big deal. when we're talking about ebola, how contagious is it, in your mind? you have to be in close contact. now it's here in the united states. the conversation is reved up. >> it's not as contagious, it's very infectious virus burks it's nots contagious. you can't catch ebola from food, from talking to someone. >> got to have contact. >> you really have to have contact with bodily fluids. so that puts a little extra barrier. the other issue is that you really -- the infectious time is when you develop symptoms. so we're fortunate to at least have that because some diseases are infectious even before you
develop symptoms. >> how concerned are you about the people that he may or may not have been in contact with? there seems to be a lax attitude about that and i'm wondering if they're trying not to panic us or them. >> again, it's because we have -- his contacts will be monitored for 21 days with temperature regulation. the minute you develop a fever, that's when the infectious part develops and begins. so they will have to be monitored for 21 days during the period of time of incubation. >> what about those on the plane with him? no follow-up just to be safe? no eight to ten day follow-up with anybody on the plane? >> they were a symptomatic while on the plane. so there is no risk on the plane ride this time. but there should be obviously heightened caution because you really can't get on a commercial plane with a fever coming from an indemic area. >> right. and the doctor made it very clear, they screened people before they get on.
maybe they should start screening people as they get off because it takes two days to get here from liberia oftentimes. so maybe they should be making sure people don't have a fever when they get off the airplane as well. >> that's a consideration. >> yeah. >> the other question, going back to what brian was talking about, people who came into contact with this person, the person comes to the united states, is here in the united states, no symptoms. and then a couple days later, feels lousy, goes to the emergency room. they say yeah, you got a fever, but we're going to give you some pills and he went home. all the people in that emergency room, he had the symptoms right then. shouldn't those people be monitored? >> they will be. that's part of the investigation and it should be because from the time that there were symptoms, anybody that potentially could come into contact with his bodily fluids should be monitored. >> you have a very calm tone. do you think the rest of us are saying, wait a minute. there is panic when it comes to flu, to lice.
as a parent, i'm thinking, there should be a little bit of justification for worry here. am i wrong? >> the virus behaves a little different and were you virus is something -- flu virus is contagious through the air, date of birthlets. this is a little different. it requires bodily fluids. >> but it's here. >> it is here. but we're not in the same infrastructure as other areas where this has taken off. >> dr. frieden was on earlier and talked about the possibility, should we isolate the countries that are experiencing this and protect the rest of the world? here is his take. >> it is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual could develop ebola in the coming weeks. but there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here. >> right. that wasn't -- so should you just say okay. let's avoid that area, the rest of the world?
>> there should be no travel to that area unless completely necessary. >> the point is, is it irresponsible to not check people for temperature and fever as they exit a plane, in your estimation? >> minute with that travel history and -- with symptoms should definitely be evaluated. whether they're getting off the plane or two days after they arrive, anybody with that travel history, as health care professional, need to have a heightened sense of awareness. >> all right. thank you very much for making a couch call today. >> thanks a lot. meanwhile, we've been talk being this the last couple of days. remember the guy who jumped over the fence, ran into the white house. he had a knife in his pocket and then tackled by somebody who was off-duty. just so happened to be in the east room, said, wait a minute. there is not supposed to be a guy here. there he is right there. mr. gonzalez. now on the same day that the director of the secret service was grilled on capitol hill for that security lapse, news comes out from a whistle blower that apparently two weeks ago when
the president as it turns out was down at the cdc talking with the people there about the ebola virus, he got into an elevator at one point and he was face-to-face with a security contractor who had a gun in his pocket and he had three convictions for assault and battery, and now the secret service is scrambling because they have to explain how the president of the united states was next to a guy, a convict with a gun. >> if he wasn't so obnoxious with his camera and ignoring the secret service when they said, can you stop that, and then getting fired, they wouldn't have gone into his background, found out he had a gun and found out how in jeopardy the president could have been in. >> apparently the screening is supposed to keep people with a criminal history is supposed to keep them out of the reach of the president. >> it makes you understand why julia pierson with all that's going on with the secret service has been coming under extreme scrutiny and yesterday in her
hearing she faced the music. >> don't let somebody get close to the president. don't let somebody get close to his family. don't let them get in the white house ever! if they have to take action that's lethal, i will have their back. >> this, ladies and gentlemen, is not a democratic issue. this is not a republican issue. this is an american issue. this is also an issue of national security. >> have you ever heard of these guys? >> i wish to god you protected the white house like you protecting your reputation here. >> this is unacceptable and i take full responsibility and i will make sure that it doesn't happen again. >> they're going to do a separate investigation and get independent counsel to look into it. >> is that going to be it? are heads going to roll? as you said, she had to face the music. now what? >> right. will there be a consequence? >> then he also said, how many times did you tell the president
his security has been breached? she said once. he's not even being candid with the person she's protecting. more big news, he's accused of beheading a co-worker while shouting arabic phrases. his facebook page includes pictures of osama bin laden. but don't call him a terrorist. he's charged with murder. casey stegall is live outside the jail in norman, oklahoma, where the suspect is expected to arrive. they seem to be emphasizing more race than terrorist. why is that, case >> reporter: you know, it's some conflicting information. you mentioned the arabic phrases that the district attorney said he was saying during the attack itself. but what he was exactly saying, the translation, that has not been made clear. let me backtrack. shear what we expect to happen today. according to the district attorney, they believe that the suspect is going to be released from the hospital. when that happens, he's going to be brought right here to this location. the cleveland county jail in norman, oklahoma, where he will be formally arraigned.
but it will happen via video conference. he won't physically go before the judge himself. meantime, the confusing investigation into this horrific crime continues. initially authorities had told us that 30-year-old alton nolan had been fired from his job at the vaughn food processing plant because he was trying to convert his colleagues to islam. now the d.a. said that he was not fired; he was suspended because he had been in an argument with co-workers earlier in the day over race, saying that he did not like white people. regardless, a virginia congressman has written a letter to eric holder demanding this be investigated as terrorism. not workplace violence. >> it is an act of terror, should be prosecuted at the federal level as an act of terror. what i'm worried about is that the agents on the ground who believe this could be terror are being told by the leadership at the justice department workplace
violence and sort of a disconnect. >> reporter: there is no terrorism statute here in the state of oklahoma. so as this investigation plays out, if it is determined that terrorism was a factor that, would have to be pursued at the federal level. of course, the f.b.i. among many agencies now investigating. >> and they wouldn't do it given what frank wolf just said. casey, thank you very much. we turn now to heather with the news. >> good morning. he tried to turn a christmas party into a scene of a mass murder. today mohammed mohammed will learn if he gets to leave prison before he's old. the f.b.i. arresting the somali american in 2010. he pressed a button on a cell phone to try to trigger a bomb. he wanted to kill thousands of people at a christmas tree lighting in portland, oregon. that bomb was fake. it ended up it was provided to him by undercover agents. he now could spend the next 40 years behind bars. an alarming new report of the fast moving virus that's

this. well, i would encourage anyone to simply read the koran. there are numerous -- 9:5, kill them wherever you find them. it teaches kill the unbeliever. it's obsessed with killing the unbeliever. >> do you believe that there are those that practice it peacefully? >> yeah. i think that islam is explosive, but thankfully not all muslims are explosive. the islamic world seems to be going through a bit of soul searching and i think they estimate two out of three muslims world wide don't know how to read or write, a lot of them don't really know what islam is. a lot of them are in it because they can't leave, because the penalty for apostasy is death. so a lot of people are captured by islam or indoctrinated, but don't know what it really is and don't stand behind it. >> what do you want people to take away from your words here
and also why won't politicians touch this angle? >> i'd like people to take away from my article why i do not hate muslims is that it is important as americans, as leaders, as an example that we not let ourselves become captured by hatred, that we not let that pollute our spirit. hating our enemy is not going to help us achieve anything meaningful. not all muslims are our enemy. islam, which is a belief system and not a human being, absolutely is our enemy and if you doubt that, read the koran, it makes it abundantly clear. as to why our politicians not touching this issue, i think that they do not yet have the sense that the american public will support them if they do. if they heard from more of their constituents that they're concerned about the spread of islam in america and radical islam in particular, i think they would go in another

i'm bob pack, and i'm fighting for prop 46 because i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i don't want anyone else to lose theirs. the three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. save money and save lives. yes on 46. story thousands of sudanese children orphaned by a brutal civil war told by some who survived. >> taken away by soldiers. instead of me. to protect us. to protect me. >> the stars of "the good lie," a movie inspired by the more
than 20,000 displaced children now known as the lost boys of sudan. good morning to both of you. >> thank you. >> tell me about when you were eight years old and the war broke out, what happened? >> well, as you can see in the movie, when the civil war broke out, it was very -- i was very young, probably eight years old. then the helicopter came in the village and started bombing and everybody started running, scattered everywhere. those are my early memories as a child. >> people started running and you wound up walking how far? >> that's in south sudan. now we have to walk for thousands of miles to go all the way to ethiopia where we can find safety. so i was among those kids that really fled the country by foot and made it to ethiopia. not only that, we encountered different civil war in ethiopia where we had to come back to south sudan. so it was a lot of war in 1991, which by then i was about eight or 13, 14. >> how emotional was it for to you make this film?
>> very emotional, but we know that we need this story to be out there and in order for it to be told, we're lucky enough o have some sudanese telling the story. >> it's almost told through the eyes of kids who become adults. correct? what's that like, when we go see this film what, are we going to experience? >> you're going to experience the story of humanity because this is a story of survival, young kids who fled their homes, so their home destroyed. now they're in america. so from being children to adults. >> titanic humanitarian effort that brought this story out and saved what was left of the kids, right? >> yeah. it's a story that's going to create conscious global awakening. a story that's going to touch people's hearts and become more empathetic. >> because so many people don't know the story burks this is very personal for you, when you were eight, you wound up joining
the army. >> yeah. this is the story, it's deep. i was born in a difficult time and i saw how the war affected my family. all my aunties died in the war, including my mom, and all my uncle the. by eight, i was trained to become a child soldier. >> what did you do? >> well, we plan escape and escaped, i got rescued by a british aid worker. she smuggled me too kenya and now the world broke loose. i became a recording artist, and as you can see -- >> now you're a movie star. >> trying survive in new york. >> we came from the bottom, like lobsters, now we're rolling on >> very good.rock >> never heard that before. that's great. >> what an expression. >> 400 started out, 16 survived. you're here to tell the story. reese witherspoon also plays a key role in this. >> great message to be told to those who don't know the story,
and important, in fact. we see reese right there. >> she talked about it on fox news sunday with chris wallace. >> the movie opens in some big cities on friday and then opens across the country on october 24. the movie is called "the good lie." >> thank you. >> rock star. america has been good so far. >> thank you. coming up on this wednesday, he murdered a police officer in cold blood, but that won't stop him from giving a commencement speech at a college and you're not going to believe who invited him. >> and then congressman paul ryan may have run against the president, but this morning they're actually agreeing on something, believe it or not. congressman ryan joins us and in a few minutes. >> come say hello to the congressman. ♪ ♪ cold. i took nyquil but i'm still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose.

if you look, we almost bombed the free syrian arm a few days ago and heard from anglican priest that they are a mile from bad dad and the iraqi doesn't want to fight. >> when you say i won't put any boots on the ground what, you're basically saying is the things that make our air strikes much more effective, having special forces team on the ground coordinating air strikes, working with foreign fighters, working with sunnies and peshmerga and free syrian army, if you say they can't be there to do that, then we're much less effective. we learned in afghanistan, putting special forces on the ground, coordinating air strikes really makes a difference. i worry that he's pulling punches that we should not -- give the military the mission and stand out of their way. >> it's the words that i'm hearing that are maybe troubling to you. what we're forecasting to the enemy, but also how we're depicting our fight, are we at war or not at war with isis? are you content with how the
president portray this is war we're in? >> i worry a little bit about it. i think his speech at the u.n. was much, much better. it was more like a george bush speech. but he'll say something good on tuesday and then on wednesday walk it back. he has to communicate with the country. commander in chief needs to bring the american people along with the fight and show them we're going to have the resolve to see this through. so i think sometimes there is politically correct things that get mixed up in his wards that project ambiguity. >> do you feel bad for the president that he missed over half of his daily briefings? >> i used to get those briefs from the campaign. we get intel briefs in congress. we've been warned about isis by the intelligence community for quite some time. >> how long? >> the intel community has been telling us for a couple of years. this is not new. it did not come as a surprise. maybe the speed of what they did
in iraq, but isis has been a threat gathering for quite some time. >> what's the advantage of getting it verbally as opposed to reading it on your own? president bush wanted it read. president obama says 41% of the time. the rest i'll do it. >> i go down to the reading room in a classified room of the i read the briefs and then go and get intelligence officers and pick and prod on them with questions. the key is to getting an oral briefing, you can ask questions of the person who would be writing the brief. >> is it possible he doesn't have questions? >> i don't know the answer to that. this statistic about the daily brief, i have a hard time comprehending that because the primary job of the commander in chief is to keep the country safe. and you need to get from your intelligence community, the defense community, especially when we have troops in harm's way what's going on. so i'm just dumb founded at that statistic. i hope it's not true. >> we all hope that. but remember, you mentioned george w. bush in this conversation. in one of the presidential daily briefings before 9-11, there was a reference to osama bin laden
and he may try to attack the west. that's as specific as it got. he was excoriated for ten years and then you got the president of the united states, the current one, hearing about isis for 18 months in these briefs, nothing. >> the intel community has been telling us about isis. >> from isis to obamacare, once again we're coming up on another anniversary of the institution of it on the american system. you're worried a lot of people don't simply understand what's yet to come. >> oh, that's right. there are so many shoes have not dropped yet. this is one of the reasons why i wrote this book, is this which is we have real problems in this country and the government is going in the wrong direction. my point is we can turn this around. it's not too late to get things right. that's why i wrote a book to show how we can get things right in this country. with obamacare, the employer mandate hasn't kicked in yet. it's designed to kick people off their job-based insurance and put them into the exchange. the other point is the 15-person
board that the president appoints to put price controls on medicare, to cut medicare by quota each and every year which leads to denied care for seniors. that hasn't even happened yet. >> that's this so-called death panels we heard about when it was first proposed. correct? >> these haven't even been started yet. so so many more things which will cause people to lose their current insurance. we have a new set of rate increases coming in a few weeks for the people already on obamacare. then we have all these price controls in medicare that have yet to hit seniors. >> is the government about to get it wrong for the redskins? >> the government shouldn't be involved in this. i'd call every team the packers if i had my druthers. but the government has other things to do. >> considering a been now on the term and actually putting the brakes, the fcc is, putting the brakes on a station. if it goes forward, it could mean they can not -- >> this is a private business.

videotaping the president, then it came out he had three convictions for assault and battery. the secret service was unaware, unaware that that contractor had a record and, in fact, had a gun in that elevator. he was fired after that incident. the head of the secret service, miss pierson, should be fired today. in fact, she should resign today as a matter of honor, duty and service to this country. this is the thing that affects all americans in a way that we really can't understand at this point. >> peter, you know how washington works, though. people go in front of a congressional committee and they say, i'm sorry. i take full responsibility. the buck stops with me. and then that's it. nobody quits, nobody gets fired. >> we've got to help the president and the first lady and the first family on this issue because it's embarrassing for them. it's hard for them to fire the first woman head of the secret service. we need to say, mr. president, we need you and your family, the free world needs you and your family. we can't allow political
considerations to deter security. look what happened in december 2013 when the president, when alt empty men della's funeral service was a man who was a schizophrenic and said later he was delusional during the ceremony. what is that about? >> that's right. and you look at that, but you don't have to go that far back in american history. how about famously one of the president's first big wing dings at the white house, these two people come in, the solahi family. >> i absolutely forgot about that. things were supposed to change. the failures of the presidency, the failures of assassination have been secret service failures in the past. the kennedy assassination, the near reagan assassination. we need to understand and we need to tell the world that our president is protected. maybe, in fact, it takes the
military to supplement what the secret service is doing. they're an incredible force. they're incredible people. but they need leadership from the top beginning with the president and then the secret service director. we need to change. we need it changed today big time. we shouldn't be discussing this. >> peter johnson, jr., saying she's got to go today. >> it's clear. >> all right. what do you think? please e-mail us. thank you very much. >> thank you. coming up, nascar race star danica patrick is here with a very special surprise under that rap. yes. i wonder what that is. some sort of a car, i got a feeling. martha mccallum joins us now. that can't possibly be your car parked under there. could it? >> that's the big surprise. good morning, everybody. there is a lot to take on today. ebola in the united states. what it means for all of us. my interview with governor chris christie, his strong words for the president on leadership and on isis and trey gowdy takes on

it's hard for americans who poses a threat and who doesn't, let's face it, they have been lied to a lot over the past decade but the "wall street journal" has this great article talking about the industry that isis is, an industry of extortion. they have hundreds of millions of dollars and very dangerous. then the fallout yesterday from a story we first ran here yesterday morning on the tragic death of the gun range -- at the gun range. bullets and burgers is actually what they call the tourist -- the tour that these people were taking yesterday. >> they shoot all sorts of weapons. >> this girl girl was from new jersey and they drove out from las vegas. the parents, we find out, are the ones that are videotaping
this. i talked to so much friends, because i have so many friends being from the south that grew up in a culture of guns. there's so many things that are wrong here. even the most ardent second amendment right supporters saying this should have never happened. >> it is so shocking that it has been covered around the world. my father was in town last night and he watches the bbc and they covered it in depth because it raises so many questions ranging from parenting to why in the world would an 9-year-old in this case would be handling a weapon like that? the gruesomeness of what happened. >> you hate to talk about the instructor who died tragically, but i've heard so many people that have worked at ranges saying he should have had his hands on the gun. >> of course. >> there were so many things that went wrong here.
and for the nuts, the absolute nuts to go online yesterday defending this is beyond me. i had a guy. >> oh, no. >> i had a guy tweet, and i asked the question, why would we have a -year-old girl shooting an uzi. and he showed a picture of somebody walking down a street in iraq carrying a separate hand and he said, this is why! this is why! i wanted to reply but my followers always told me don't feed the trolls. i wanted to reply, if we are depending on putting uzis in the hands of 9-year-old girls to save american, we might as well put the islamic flag over the
brooklyn bridge right now. >> the family says it's fun for them. >> one could argue whether that should be, but, i mean, the reality was the instructor, she could barely hold the gun. i think you look at this poor girl and what is her life story from this moment on? and you can put aside all of the gun nuts and anything else of that, but you look at this. how is this little girl going to move forward? >> the thing is, i think there has to be a lot more regulation at these gun ranges. my argument has always been if you want to fire an automatic weapon, like a real -- not a semi. but if you want to fire these military style weapons, a gun range request proper training is actually the best place to do that. i've always said, all of these people that want to have these massive weapons, military-style weapons in their home to protect from home invaders, that's
crazy. people love firing these guns, that's great but fire them at gun ranges and have the gun ranges regulated so 9-year-old girls from jersey can't come in and get an uzi and fire it. it is a real tragedy. but we will get to that later in the show. >> yep. i want to get to the morning grind. toppling the news this morning a law enforcement official tells nbc news it appears a second american has been killed while fighting for the militant group isis in syria. his identity has not yet been revealed but reports suggests he died in the same firefight as american doug mccain who joined ranks with the terror group after crossing the border from turkey. >> let's get this right. another american goes to syria and joins isis and how does that end up? >> badly. >> they die. it's going to happen to you, okay? just stay in minnesota, okay? it's not going to end up well
for you. when you go over there, we are going to kill you, right? don't join isis, okay? go to disney land. by some accounts up to 100 u.s. citizens are fighting along the lamic extremist. the mother of another u.s. journalist being held hostage by isis is speaking out. shirley sotloff made a plea to the leader of the islamic state, the group that executed james foley. >> since steven's capture i've learned a lot about islam. i've learned that they teach that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he's an innocent journalist. i've always learned that you, the kaliff can grant amnesty. i ask you to please release my
child. >> that was really compelling, mike barnicle. she put a challenge to this guy, basically, saying if you're so mighty and powerful, then you, islam teaches us, you have the power to show mercy to my son. >> unfortunately, sadly, it will fall on deaf ears because we are dealing with people with an apock apocalyptic version of the future. i doubt they will pay any attention to this woman. >> we will see. they will pay for what they did to jim foley and they will find out as the days and weeks or months go by that they have pissed off the american people who are war weary and wanted to stay out of iraq. i think that moment is going to do more to show the nature of this group's evil and they will rule the day.
like i said before, we know how this story ends. osama bin laden, bullet through his eyes. saddam hussein head ripped clear off his shoulder. you could go through one terrorist after another terrorist. the most dangerous job in the world is being the number three world at al qaeda and this always ends this way. mike, i know you're the only one here old enough to remember like me. remember when noriega gives a speech and if americans come down to panama and has a sword and banging, they will die in the junglgles of panama! now he is in jail and he is going to rot in jail! this is how it always ends. we always get the enemy. we always get the thug. >> the vision of panama lasted about 45 minutes and noriega is
in jail in florida and still in jail in florida. this is different. this is a hydra headed monster. we have been killing the number three person at al qaeda for 14 years. there is a always a new number three and there will be a new number one, two, and three of isis no matter what we do. the benefit we might gain from this is when congress comes back, they might be forced and the president might be forced to have a legitimate national discussion about this. >> guess what some they are going to come together. this is the danger. they have access to oil and they have access to extortion to hundreds of millions of dollars. they have the power. they have got money. they have the power to get their hands on some weapons that could kill a lot of people in the united states, kill a lot of people in london and kill a lot of people in paris and if we don't stop them and we don't take the territory away from them and seize their assets, we are all -- this is -- this is --
as grave of a threat as osama bin laden in 2001. a texas father has been acquitted of murder. david barajas was acquitted of shooting a drunk driver that killed both of his sons in a wreck. the family was in tears in the courtroom moments after the jury found him not guilty. bandas car slammed into barajas truck. he and his young sons were pushing it along the road to their nearby house. the prosecutor claimed barajas went home and got a gun and came back to the scene and shot banda in the head. in the end the jury acquitted barajas and he emerged to applause as he spoke to his family and media. >> how does it feel, david? >> a lot of weight lifted off my back. i'll still destroyed. i'm missing my sons. always and forever.
it's been a lot of weight lifted, but i'm still hurt. i'm still hurt. very hurt. >> listen. >> this story is heart breaking. >> it is so heart breaking. maggie, i'm sorry, everybody on the jury and everybody in that courtroom and everybody in america knows who went home and got the gun and came back. like they were looking for an excuse not to convict this father and none of us can put ourselves in the position where this father is and where he was that night after he saw his two sons killed. >> if it happened, a crime of passion. >> that's what the prosecution said according to the reports that i read that the jury -- there was no actual physical evidence that linked him. there was no gun powder on his hands. i think the challenge is this is a crime of passion. the town, 50%, 60%, you go on the blogs this morning, i would have done the same thing.
that's what parents say. unfortunately, the challenge is many people lose their family members, they don't go and take the law into their own hands and i think the challenge is how do we manage this and does it say something bigger about where we are with our justice system that most people felt this was justice versus the system. >> you wonder if i would have done the same thing is perhaps what was part of the equation in the decision that was made because so many people chiming in, what would you have done? what would you have done? and they are saying -- >> i have no idea what i would have done. i know most people in line say they would have done the same thing. i think all of us in this situation feel like our lives came to an end. >> yeah. >> i don't know in that moment what i would have done. >> you lose your mind. >> removed from it all, mike, we are a nation of laws, not a nation of men. that's what separates us from other countries. so if this man did this, if they
had the evidence, then just letting him go -- >> revenge is understandable but it's not a code of law. >> yeah. >> he now lives with three losses. his two sons and the loss of something internally because if you kill another human being, that sits with you forever. >> he was acquitted. >> he was acquitted. i think that also the emotionalness of this trial, little boys were killed before christmas and they were buried with their toys that they were going to get. the entire town was really emotionally fighting. >> let me get one more story in. >> let me ask you this. in all of your years in working with news, did you ever have a fellow anchor or a news executive come up behind you, squeeze you and say, you know what? don't lose toomp weig much weig. i like my children chubby.

who did that? >> it's madmen all over again. >> maggie, it's still madmen in a lot of places. i'm sorry. tv networks. a lot of friends that work at a lot of tv networks. it's crazy. congress, crazy. >> i think it's worse than ever because we live in a visual age. our kids take pictures all of the time and they know how to pose and do all of these things. >> we are kind of caught in this middle ground between what sells, what people think sells, and what we are supposed to be which is real and normal. >> mike and i go through -- when we walk down these halls. >> you could see what happens to me in central park. >> bill called you yesterday and told you you needed to look more like a gq model. >> i need to lose a little bit

>> they are trying to figure it out. >> trying to figure it all out. we would already have it figured out through body cams. i've been talking about this for several weeks. body cams only hurt bad cops. everybody else is protected by body cams. claire mccaskill, yesterday, she said if you wanted to get this military equipment from the united states government, you're going to have to have every cop wearing body cams. i think that's a good idea. >> on wednesday, denver announced some of its policemen wearing cameras for month and next year each officer will be equipped with one. the first major city to do so. small cities already in the technology as well. there is video from selena, texas, a officer taking down a suspect for no reason. >> this is a camera on the dashboard. you look at the camera on the dashboard looked like the cop is using excessive force but look at it from the body cam it shows something different. >> you can see the officer is
attacked. the chief says officers know they are being documented at all times but how important it is to get as many angles you can get. it can change the story. it can change -- >> from that angle, you see the cop is attacked and you hear the cop saying you don't want to do this. this doesn't end well. i don't know who the cop is. i don't know who the attacker is but this will also, even in a situation like this where a cop has to use force to get a suspect down, you're pretty sure when they have the cameras on, they are going to use the right amount of force. >> but this kind of juxtaposition of angles is what we will perhaps make it very difficult sometimes in some cases to find out what really happened. >> the one thing we have talked about police misconduct the past several weeks the one thing you don't realize is what is going through cops mind at all times. the danger they are in at all times. they want to get thome through their wife and children and husband or their children. they don't want to die.
they see so many bad things day in and day out that we don't see on cameras. this puts us actually and has us walking a mile in their shoes and puts it into the right perspective. here you see the cop is attacked. he doesn't know if that guy has a gun or if if that guy has a knife so he takes him to the ground. nick christoff. is everyone a little bit racist? help wanted ads between white and black sounding names. they found it took 50% more mailings to get a call back for a black name. a white name yield issed as much benefit as eight years of experience according to the study. that is pretty revealing. >> it is revealing and that is the country that we live in and we have got to face up to it. we have made great progress. at the same time, we have a long way to go.

if they did, it's an arab state saying we are not going to let freaks and radicals height our religion and it's a damn good thing that the united states is not putting this all on our own. if so i couldn't be more grateful to egypt and the uae for doing it. >> given their apocalyptic vision of the world and kill anyone and anything in their path, it could well be you see an unusual coalition coming together, amman, jordan, tel aviv and cairo and egypt because they are all in the scope of this threat. >> and assad in syria and the ayatollah's in iran. >> and turkey. >> see if turkey decides to be a responsible player. seriously. >> this is by rand paul how u.s. interventionist embedded the
rise of is sisis. new regime might be isis. no to say the u.s. should ally with assad but we should recognize how regime change in syria could have helped and emboldened the islamic state and recognize that they are calling for war against isis and syrian civil war. we should realize that the interventionists are calling for islamic rebels to win in syria and for the same islamic rebels to lose in iraq. our middle eastern policy is unhinged flailing about to see who to act against next with little thought to the consequences. those not a foreign policy. >> it's very easy to say that after isis explodes. but, julie,, obviousl obviously the things that haunted the president and samantha powers
200 dead in syria because of a civil war. we find ourselves in a position that winston churchill said. if satan himself was fighting against hitler you may not ally with him, but at least he might say a good word or two for him on the floor of the parliament. >> rand paul is speaking to what is an incredibly complex situation in syria. and there are two pieces of this. one, there is this horrific humanitarian crisis as a result of this civil war but, second, all of these players involved in syria that are involved in this swrar. not all of them good. even the moderate opposition, the so-called moderate opposition is still loosely defined and the president has resistance of putting heavy arms in the hands of those moderate rebels. >> richard haass was on yesterday saying we are going to have a de facto alliance with
assad. i know nobody will come out and say that publicly. does he realize the white house is whispering they understand if isis is going to be defeated in syria, we can't just bomb, we need help from assad? >> yeah. even before james foley's death, there was some conversation about going after the islamic state in syria and the question, those was if you do that, do you also have to strike assad targets? because if you don't, are you essentially helping him. the president is resistant to do that because if you take that step, then the u.s. has some responsibility perhaps to solving syria's larger political problem so you're looking at a situation do we have sort of a wink and nod relationship with assad if we do go after the islamic state? >> julie, stay with us. still ahead, one of the tv's biggest unsolved mysteries. the fate of tony soprano. up next, barack obama may be

yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is...was... and always will be...you. ♪ 40 past the hour. we are going to continue the conversation about the threat of isis and the president's view. let's bring in editor of "the washington post" bob woodward. >> bob, great to have you with us. first question. you've written so many books the past 10, 12 years of the inner workings of the white house. the war council around bush and barack obama. who is left in the white house when obama has to listen to. do i have to bomb syria or not, who has his ear? >> he has his own ear.
you know, i think he feels he's done this for so many years. you have to remember the starting point for him. he doesn't like war and he said in that nobel prize acceptance speech that war is always an expression of human folly. indeed, thought and was one of the first to say that the iraq war was the dumb war, so he is resistant all of this. >> he said iraq war was a dumb war and right now he is having to go into that, quote, dumb war. i've been saying it and i saw in your notes you're saying basically the same thing. you got democrats that want to say the republicans were on from 2003 to 2008. saying obama was run from 2009 to know. he is a hard step for him to take, isn't it? >> the first step should be let's not relitigate the iraq war and you've got all these people are saying, we were right
to support it, so, you know, this is just a continuation. those who opposed is say, no, no, wachlit a minute, we need te careful. obviously, it's a challenge for obama. i think it would be useful to look at it through optimistic lens for a moment. it's an opportunity for him to do the sort of meetings and discussions and bringing people in, not just from the administration and the cabinet and the white house straff, but from dreaded congress and come up with some strategy here. you know, one of the great conclusions from the vietnam war was that politics is the enemy of strategy. let's play less politics here and come up with a plan. >> mika, it was very interesting. mitch mcconnell said yesterday on the campaign stump in kentucky and said i'll surprise
a lot of people. i think the president is doing the right thing now. you'll see when a lot of people come back to washington, d.c. a little more unity on foreign policy finally. maybe in this moment of crisis politics can end at the water's edge. >> that is hopeful. bob, i go back to joe's first question because i still can't get my sort of mind around who is putting their fingerprints at least on the president. i know he is against the war. i understand that. it starts and ends with him, but he has a group of advisers. what is the dynamic? what is the relationship with john kerry? is there one? and who are the others who have a consistent time with his ear in terms of helping him shape his decisions? >> as you said, one of the biggest problems managerially with this white house is barack obama and nobody can tell him no. >> i can't imagine. >> of course, know one can tell him no. mika, that is a really important question, but this gets to the
mysteries of the white house, any white house. >> right. >> and you need to go back after it happens and piece it together. it takes a great deal of time. you know, let's be honest. we don't know. but, joe, i think you're right, that the early waves of, wow, this is a real serious new set of problems, this islamic state. let's get together and come up with some plan, but that takes a lot of time and that means time off the golf course, time on the phone, going up to congress, having people from congress down to the white house, the normal process of negotiation. i think it's possible here. surely the stakes are so high, so it ought to be done in a more methodical way. >> bob woodward, thank you so much. >> bob, it's great having you here again. hope to see you soon. >> nice to see you. up next, a new poll shows

our friends at poe little coat has seized a report from female voters and it shows that the republican party has a lot to do before we get the support of feeling. according to the poll they find the gop are stuck in the past and intolerant and lack compassion and more than 50% of women have unfavorable view of the republican party. this is important too. we always hear people in new york and washington going it's all about abortion, it's all about abortion. no. the top four issues for women
are the economy, health care, education, and jobs. guess what, republicans? they say we can't ever be the democrats because we will not compromise on abortion. it's not abortion. >> it is not. >> it's about moms being able to take care of their children or being able to take care of their aging parents. women also, though, if you keep going they believe that equal pay for equal work is a policy that would help women the most. something you talk about an awful lot. let's bring in mike and right now. mike, not really surprising reports but i think a message to my party you're seen as intolerant and it's not all about abortion. you got to get better on the bread and butter issues for all americans and that is getting them back to work and giving them fair wages. >> no that is a great point, joe. the surprise here is that republicans have made up no ground since mitt romney lost. the day after mitt romney lost you and i talked about the fact
they needed to do things to close the gap with women. that hasn't happened. joe, the four issues that you ticked through, education, health care, economy, jobs, that the campaign is going to be fought on, women go overwhelmingly on democrats. >> isn't that something? >> what do you do about this? the solution in this poll that was taken by crossroads gps and american action network is acknowledge those differences on abortion that you mentioned. quickly move on. talk about policies. connect with women on exactly those issues that you were mentioning. eric cantor was saying we can reconnect with women through charter schools. >> no. >> mika, the type of issues that will work are enforcing gender bias rules in the workplace, making it possible to for home health care through medicare.

started by women who have read and know your value and women are the business leaders of the next ten years, and that is where the republican party has an opportunity. those rotary clubs, those women who are starting businesses and really going to create the backbone and that is where the opportunity is. >> i always say we have got to make sure -- i say this to republican groups, if you want to win again you've got to make your policies as relevant to a 17-year-old latino in south central l.a. starting first job as a 55-year-old hedge fund broker in connecticut. a 33-year-old woman who wants to start up her own business because she is quitting the first job she has that she doesn't like. >> she has been downsized and she wants to start again. >> create. why a texas father was acquitted gunning down a drunk

saying, hell yeah. the debate begins but great news for the democrats on the campaign trail. >> the changes in medicare are big. the difference between the current estimate for 2019 budget and estimate for the 2019 four years is $95 billion. that sum is greater than than what the government is expected to spend that year in unemployment insurance and welfare and amtrak combined. >> oh, my lord. >> this is, as i've said a zillion times, it is medicare and medicaid that is driving us towards debt, that is driving us towards bankruptcy. this is just great news. let's keep our fingers crossed. a couple of caveat. the great recession was causing inflation to go down before obamacare passed and it hasn't really passed all ever this stuff because, blah, blah, blah. i will just tell you if i'm a democrat the most compelling
argument is when hillary clinton started talking about health care reform in 1993, suddenly, medical inflation went down. a chilling effect. people who were overcharging we are about to kill the golden goose. even the threat of major structural changes may have also caused health care providers to say, hold on a second, we better stop spending like there is no tomorrow because, obviously, we are about to kill the golden goose. i think this is great political news for democrats. don't know if -- what their argument is going to be but the republican argument that obamacare is going to bankrupt america doesn't look so good now. >> great for the president's legacy at what he accomplished. >> one final thing we know. republicans will no longer call it obamacare. >> obamacare worked. >> it will be the affordable care act. >> remember when president obama said -- >> a huge if. if, if, if it is, in fact, what
bent the curve. then yeah. it will not you the affordable care act. >> remember when the president said you can call it obamacare. i know in the long run this is going to pay off. >> we shall see. >> with e shall see. this is great news for younger americans. let's go et to other news stories of the morning. a law enforcement says it appears a second american has been killed while fighting for the militant group of isis in syria. his identity has not vet been revealed but reports say he died in the same firefight as american douglas mccain who joined the terror group after crossing the border in turkey. by some accounts u.s. citizens are fighting along the islamic extremists. the mother of another u.s. journalist held hostage by isis is speaking out. shirley sotloff made a plea to the leader of the islamic state the group that executed james foley.
>> since steven's capture i've learned a lot about islam. i've learned that they teach that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he's an innocent journalist. i've always learned that you, the caliph, can grant amnesty. i ask you to please release my child. >> a texas father has been acquitted of murder. david barajas was accused of shooting to death a drunk driver who killed both his children in a wreck. barajas family members were in tears in the courtroom moments after a jury found him not guilty. nearly two years ago, jose bandas car slammed into barajas truck. he and his young sons david and caleb were pushing it along the road to their nearby house. the prosecutor claimed barajas went home -- >> by the way, it was right by his home. they were so close to getting
home safely. >> it was right before christmas. got a gun, came back to the scene and shot bandas in head. business defense said investigators never looked for other possible suspects. in the end the jury acquitted barajas and he emerged to applause as he spoke to family and media. >> how does it feel, david? >> a lot of weight lifted off my back. i'll still destroyed. i'm missing my sons. always and forever. it's been a lot of weight lifted, but i'm still hurt. i'm still hurt. very hurt. >> what do you think, mika? >> i think that we probably will never know whether he did it, but -- >> i think it's pretty obvious. >> uh-huh. >> i think the fact is obvious he did it. i don't think somebody ran out of like the bushes and shot this guy and then ran away. i think it's pretty obvious he did it. i think the jury was looking for a reason to acquit a man, any reason whatsoever who lost his
two sons and they gave him that opportunity. >> i'm sure they couldn't even figure out how they would handle it. >> you go online. most people in the social media say if they were in his position, they would do the same thing. >> yeah. a brand-new poll shows mitt romney is still the clear favorite among republican voters in iowa. >> can you believe this? it's not even close! >> for 2016. the "usa today" poll shows the 2012 republican nominee with 35% support. >> let's just keep that number up there. >> 10% undecided and 9% backing mike huckabee. >> undecided is coming up fast. >> coming up fast. mike barnicle, let me tell you something. we have all said romney is not going to run, this can't happen. mitt romney, the longer this moves forward and you got chris christie and jeb bush who is playing hamlet and still doesn't know whether he is to be or not to be, the longer that goes on,
let's look at what is happening right now in new hampshire and in iowa. if you went iowa and new hampshire even now. >> he wins both. >> if you win both, you get the nomination. mitt romney is up right now by 26 percentage points in iowa. a state that he struggled in twice. and he's killing it in new hampshire. >> if you are romney, are you going to let him run against hillary and let him go through this again? >> yes. >> really? >> yes, you are. if you're this far ahead and the republican party is facing eight more years of a democrat in the white house making supreme court appointments, regulating businesses the way they are regulating business, et cetera, et cetera, this, that and the other. i'm saying if you put yourself -- he is this far ahead, just got to sit there and think i have to do this. >> he has a couple of big things going for him and it's really filled with irony. he has got dysfunctional field of candidates on the republican
side and he's got vladimir putin that he can continual saying, see, i was right. whether he was or not, he continues to say, i was right. >> what my dad was saying too. >> he was right about vladimir and he was right about iraq. he actually, in the debates, went after barack obama for talking about how proud obama was that he got everybody out of iraq and he mocked mitt romney for wanting to keep a force there. i'm telling you, the world stage right now, the only 30-second commercials he'd have to do is go back and show clips from his last debate with president obama and then have people ask, how would the world have been different over the last four years? i'm not saying it's a lock. he's got a lot of problems. he is awkward on the campaign trail. he is a wonderful man. but maybe the third time is a charm for him. i will tell you this, if he is this far ahead, at some point the republican establishment is going to look and say, please? >> please. >> please? please?
all right. while we are on the issue of russia, a new offensive by separatists is under way in southern kraen. official say russia is leading the charge. the government in kiev say russian armored vehicles are pouring across the board. they are engaged in fierce battles. russian troops were captured this week by ukraine. moscow says they accidentally wandered into the country. >> whatever. >> on tuesday. >> accidentally? hey, by the way, canada has put out a helpful map. did you guys see this? >> yeah. >> i tweeted it. guys, if you can get it up. i retweeted it. canada has put out a map and say we understand you guys keep wandering into russia accidentally so we are going to help you out. they have this huge map of the world and they have russia, and then ukraine not russia. and say, you just use the map any time you want. on tuesday, president

strongest argument i've heard in a long time for term limit. get them out of there. >> can i just say we talk about cameras on cops. i think we need cameras on congressmen at all times except when in the steam shower. >> an accomplished elected woman senator, i like my girls chubby. >> come on. >> i think he was trying to be funny but not what you should do. on the steam room issue, i'm just going to say, those things should be banned. >> you had an issue like this, right? >> i don't understand. sitting around with a bunch of strangers naked! >> fat and all over the steam room. it's repulsive. >> what happened? >> it's just not right. i don't understand. i hope i don't sound like -- >> borne out of eastern european countries. >> are they? >> to wrap it up. if you're at home, wrap a towel

issue as possible retaliation for u.s. sanctions against russia over ukraine. officials say the cyberattack resulted in the loss of sensitive data. let's bring in nbc news justice correspondent pete williams. we have heard a lot of people and a lot of experts telling us the next war is going to be fought and it's going to be a cyberwar. here we have russia in the middle of it. what do you know? >> reporter: there are signs they say this came from russia. the series of attacks carried out earlier this month, but they say -- and that has led to speculation you noted that this could be in retaliation for u.s. economic sanctions after the moves into ukraine. but the officials say, normally speaking, when somebody wants to show they are retaliating they do it in a public way like denial of service attacks so you can't get into the website. this didn't get any attention at the time. they say the hackers scooped up a huge amount of data on customers and bank employees.
but they haven't said whether that included bank account or credit card numbers or account passwords. the banks say so far no sign this information has been used to take money from any customer account. so it's still unclear what exactly the hackers were after. were they after money or were they after intelligence about the banking industry? >> nbc's pete williams, thank you very much. coming up, how long will we have to tolerate miley cyrus? >> it's like a rash that never goes away. >> a bad rash. >> it's a horrible rash. >> why? i like her. >> you do not! >> i do! >> you're giving me a rash! >> it's all right. i'll give you an ointment. >> i probably would like her too. i feel bad for her. >> that is from the steam room. >> when you start talking about creams and ointments, i'm out of here. >> are you uncomfortable, joe? >> that's your days in the steam room up on the hill. >> yeah, baby. where should you sit to catch a foul ball?

♪ so, mika, mike knows -- we talked for sometime about this grocery store chain that started as a neighborhood grocery store and got really big. great service. low prices. they had a family feud. >> yeah. >> we had a workers revolt. this is an extraordinary story out of new england. >> it became a chain. it is resolved, though, this morning. market basket, which saw an emotional fight erupt sending its employs to picket lines and leaving its shelves empty. look at the pictures. literally. this is a staple in the area. some shoppers had to turn to food pantries. the governors of new hampshire and massachusetts had to get involved over who should lead the company. jennifer egan of our boston affiliate whgh reports on the
fight. >> reporter: word of a deal quickly reached market basket workers at the chain's headquarters, hugs, handshakes and relief. >> the right thing came out. it was too good to be wrong. do you know what i mean? it's the right thing. >> it's definitely a roller coaster that i'm absolutely glad to get off of. the emotions, it's crazy. really excited now. >> we wouldn't have been doing it if it wasn't worth it. the man was worth it, absolutely. >> reporter: the man he is talking about artie t. the ousted market basket ceo who inspired nearly six weeks of protests and rallies to bring him back. >> we just want back the same as it always has been! we just want our job back! sno expectations. just what it was before. >> reporter: late wednesday, a spokesperson for market basket confirmed there is an agreement. artie t. who was fired by his cousin in june from the family owned chain will return to run the company's day-to-day operations. artie t. bought out his cousin's
majority share of market basket for reportedly $1.5 billion. the deal is expected to be completed in the next two or three months. a statement reads in part our shared goal is to return mathematic basket to the supermarket that its customers have come to rely on for service, quality, and best prices. no shelves across the chain's 71 stores are bare. workers say that will be straightened out soon. >> give us a little bit. it's going to take a little time to stock so don't go crazy on us but we will get it there for you. don't worry about it. >> wow! what a story! >> what an amazing story and how the workers just basically quit their jobs in support of -- we hear about all of these horrible ceos and get a hundred million dollars on their exit. these working class americans in boston went out because they so believed in one guy running their company. that's crazy. >> a larger lesson here for i
think anyone running sort of a company, large or small. the two cousins, arthur t. ran the stores until he was fired six or seven weeks ago. the majority of the work of market basket walked off the job in support of arthur t. why? because they knew him. more importantly, he knew the workers. he would go through the stores. he would know their names. he would know something about their families. hundreds of workers. and they stayed off the job in support of him. he is the victor. >> wow. >> i can't think of -- >> i can't either. >> i can't think of something else ever happening. >> it's great. fantastic. let's talk about the midterm elections and the big question for the mid terms, how will the president's approval rating impact voters? it turns out it may be as simple as throw the bums out. >> i think it is. >> here is derrick hits.
he has the numbers in the mojo polling place. >> reporter: the popular prediction heading into this fall's midterm election says with the president's approval ratings in the cellar the end results may sink the democrats in congress. in looking at the polling data over the past year, there may be a different theme emerging. the president's poll numbers are down. in fact, the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll has his job approval at all-time low. however when compared to the approval numbers of congress, the commander in chief doesn't look quite so bad. the public's discontent cuts both ways when it comes to the two parties on capitol hill. with the democrats faring only slightly better. it is the same discontent that fuels a 20-year high in -- a recent gallup pole showed most americans believe that most members in congress couldn't deserve re-election. this poll says 19% of the voters said they are dissatisfied satisfied with the way our political system functions. last october when votes asked if they would like to replace every single member of congress 60% said yes.

but this is where you micro target as a consumer, as a constituent. i can pick out the issues that matter to me but also look at my representative. really almost sort of like a civic gps tracking device on the person that you elect. >> it's a very interesting analogy. you hit on a subtle point here which is important. >> first time it's ever happened that i hit on a subtle point. >> he's not so subtle. >> the subtle point you actually hit on is i-citizens is a nonpartisan platform. we focus on what we consider is the individual's dna. on you you may care about three or four issues at the federal, state, and local level and based on world events tomorrow that may change. those are really things that are important to you that will influence your voting behavior. there are things you want to monitor and you want to make sure your representatives are actively acting on. >> derrick, talk about the

and don't look at someone's creativity and moxie and talent. >> that's what i say! >> that's what i said to the president -- when he rejected me because of my s.a.t. scores. >> 31% of kids have tried drugs by age 16 and 32% of kids have had sex by the age of 16. pretty frightening for us old people. >> i don't want to hear stuff like that. who will choose the next president? >> unmarried people. >> right. >> we are looking at which demographic groups are growing fastest since the last election and which way they are leaning and a challenge for the republican party. >> republicans do very poorly with unmarried women. >> how long will we endure miley? i think she is good and i think around to stay. >> no. >> joe, it gives him a rash. >> we mapped people's couriers and comparing them to the history on the billboard top 100 and she most closely track's chef's career which suggests she is going to be with us for a long time. >> chef started her farewell

moments ago malaysian airlines reported a loss of $8
million. it's leading to the big questions about the future of the company. which will announce a major restructuring plan tomorrow. let's bring in nbc keir include? >> reporter: well, mika, reports say there will be layoffs, review of aircraft orders, even replacing the chief executive officer. they were already facing tougher competition before the two tragedies where hundreds died and which left many passengers frightened. no line for the check-in desk an hour and a half before a flight. seats at the gate empty. these are pictures tweeted by malaysian airlines passengers seemingly showing ghost flights. >> fliers are skittish people, so they tend to stay away. no airline has ever faced such two disasters in a row with such mystery attached to them. >> reporter: the images of flight malaysia 17 in pieces sent a chill through the frequent flying public. but first, there was flight
mh-370 which disappeared in march. there is still no sign of the wreck in the indian ocean. then last month, mh-17 crashed over ukraine, apparently shot down by accident. cabin crew is still waiting for the bodies of people to be returned. >> that really took a big toll on many of our people and now we are facing another big crisis. >> reporter: experts are predicting thousands of layoffs and route cancellations. there's talk that the chief executive officer may be replaced and orders for new aircraft could be cancelled, while the malaysian government plans to buy the airline back from sherareholders. >> it will give them a much freer hand to do things. they can terminate staff, unfortunately, start to retire uneconomic assets. >> reporter: but a freak series of accidents may be only partly to blame. there were more people on board
this flight. the family behind this tweet says, suggesting social media has increased the pressure on an already struggling airline. and the continued confusion over what happened to flight mh-370 isn't helping. australian authorities believe it turned south earlier than previously thought based on an attempted phone call to the plane after it vanished, but you know, mika, i covered, as you recall recall, both mh-370 and mh-17. even at the time you really thought, wow, this really does represent a stunning sequence of disasters unprecedented in aviation history. >> you know, keir, the u.s., with valujet going into the everglades destroyed the company. here you have two accidents that have caused a disappearance and a shootdown that have literally caused an international incident in both cases. you just wonder if they -- even if they survive, do they rebrand? do they rename? what do they do to make flyers a
little less skittish. i don't know that i'd be getting on a plane called malaysian air right now and i fly a lot. >> reporter: right. passenger numbers are down about 11% they say in a year. what they are doing, joe, is they are taking the company basically back into state ownership. they are buying shares from shareholders. frankly, the reason why they're doing that is because they want to keep malaysia airlines going even while making enormous losses in the hope that down the line they can get it back on track. >> keir simmons, thank you so much. we always love having you on. we kind of wish we were in london because if we were in london, we wouldn't have to wake up at 4:00 a.m. to do this show. so maybe we'll see you over there sometime.

this morning both coasts of the united states are feeling the effects of a hurricane and a tropical storm causing high waves, rough surf and dangerous conditions. here's bill karins -- >> hey, bill. >> yeah. >> bill, we put up with all of your crap because, you know, quite frankly, phil wouldn't let us fire you. >> i slip phil half my salary is the reason for that. >> is that where he gets the extra $14? i love that, to get a burger. no, seriously, bill, you've got to give us good weather this weekend, because i'm hearing hurricanes on both coasts, not acceptable. we need a really nice labor day weekend. >> and i'd say for about 90% of the country, you're going to get just that. >> but, you know what though, bill, i'm not really interested in 90% of the country. i'm just interested in mika's top 1%. how is mika's top 1% going to do? >> it's going to be about
perfect. let's talk about those waves and show you those pictures. the largest waves in southern california from a hurricane in about the last 20 years. just look at that guy. there was even one or two piers that was tore apart because of these large waves. in one case a lifeguard had to be rescued that was in the water trying to rescue other people. the surfers love it. >> holy cow! look at these shots, bill! that's crazy! >> the new technology and the new gopro cams, we're just getting these amazing pictures from right in the water so it's pretty crazy stuff. this is all from what's tropical storm marie. now, on the east coast we've got big waves. nothing like the california stuff, but hurricane cristobal is still a hurricane out there, it's now off virginia beach by 700 miles. that's going to cause six to ten-foot waves the next two or three days. yesterday was warm and the next two or three days looks warm in the east, less humid and pretty
beautiful as we go throughout your friday for your travel day into what should be a great holiday weekend forecast for the east coast. came out to the range, had a nice lunch and shot the gun she wanted to shoot. it's something she wanted to do and her parents wanted her to do it. >> the chilling video shows a 9-year-old girl learning how to use an uzi submarine gun. >> moments before the accidental shooting of charles baka. >> i can't second-guess him, i wasn't there. but under normal circumstances he would not let a 9-year-old shoot an automatic weapon. >> have the gun ranges regulated so 9-year-old girls from jersey can't come in, get an uzi and fire an uzi. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he's an innocent journalist. >> 31-year-old steven sokloff
who disappeared a year ago, today his mother made a dramatic plea for his release. >> appealing directly to the isis leader. >> i ask you to please release my child. for another american mother today, anguish turned to joy. >> total strangers have been coming up to me and saying, hey, we're just glad you're home. welcome home. >> if you guys only knew how much fun we have over here. this is the real disneyland. >> as much as the american hostages have focused attention on the syrian terror groups, it is the american recruits that have joined them that most worry authorities. >> in addition to this man, douglas macarthur mccain, a second isis fighter was killed in the battle northeast of aleppo. >> u.s. officials estimate 70 to 100 americans have gone to syria to join isis or other militant groups. >> this idea that foreign fighters could go over there, get radicalized, get equipped, get trained and come back to their homeland. >> we've got so much to talk
about, i don't know where to start. i was going to actually talk to bill karins. for the first time i wanted to talk to bill and t.j. cut me off. but this hour we're going to talk to a gun range owner. i talked to a lot of gun range owners, a lot of gun experts and a lot of my friends who spent their life hunting in northwest florida and alabama and they all said the same thing. this is not about gun rights or anything, this is about a very bad decision by sadly you hate to say it by parents, very bad decision by the young man who tragically died and we feel so badly for him. and also for gun range owners, you just don't let -- we've got a gun range owner here and i'm going to ask whether she would allow a 9-year-old girl to fire an uzi. there is a time and place for everything. i did find talking to a lot of gun range owners and second amendment champions, they said this is the sort of stuff that hurts us. >> yes. >> they say, joe, we're on the same side on 90%, 95%.
that 5%, things like this, hurt the cause of fighting for the second amendment. >> but the question is, should there even be an opening for something like this to happen? it shouldn't be allowed. >> not for a 9-year-old girl. >> no. >> should a grown man or woman be able to do it under the right regulated circumstances? be my guest. a 9-year-old girl, no. let's go back to bill karins for a second. bill, some extraordinary pictures. the first shot of the surfer, i was asking t.j. to do something he's not going to do, we'll probably get pictures of the oakland a's baseball game but some of the surfer shots are extraordinary. but you've got hurricanes going up and down the coast. >> incredible surf. >> but i saw the hot across the middle of the country. the debate is always going on about global warming. we live in the northeast and it's been a really cold year and yet actually this has been a warmer year worldwide, hasn't it? look at that shot. >> that's the hardest part to
grasp of the whole climate change debate. everyone associates with what they experience, that's how we pretty much do life. but a lot of other areas -- like the coldest spot almost in the entire globe throughout this last year has been areas of central, eastern canada all the way down through the great lakes and the northeast. >> they never really have had summer in parts of minnesota, have they? >> there are people that will state that with the climate warming, some areas will be cooler and that may be some areas of north america, so we'll find out in the decades ahead, obviously, but, you know, joe, you have to remember, september 10th is the peak of hurricane season. that's when we get to the pinnacle. so the first two weeks of september is when we get these huge storms. there's nothing brewing over the next week or two. >> and we never know what's going to happen. everybody sees what's right in front of their nose. we will be able to tell a decade or two. i remember a decade ago, you and i were working together, 2004, 2005, and i remember in '04
there were three hurricanes in rapid succession. >> we went jean, frances, charley. it was like a blur. it was like six weeks, three hurricanes in florida. >> and we were escaping our house every couple of weeks. there were all of these articles that were written saying this is global warming and this is the new era of hurricanes, so what did i do? i went out and bought a generator. it was a big investment. that was the best insurance for northwest florida never having a hurricane again because we haven't had another one in a decade. >> the last major hurricane to hit this country, wilma. we have to go all the way back ten years. >> so we just don't know. we do know, though, these pictures absolutely extraordinary. and you're right, just because it's cold in your neck of the woods doesn't mean that the globe is still not warming. apparently this year, another year where it's getting warmer, mika. thanks, bill. have a great weekend, man. let's get to our top news
stories. >> he cut him off again. >> well, there is a delay. >> let's try this again. thank you. bill, i hope you, your wife and kids have a great weekend. thank you, t.j. mika, let's get to the news right now because we don't know what t.j. will do next. there's going to be streaming porn somewhere in one of these screens if we don't hurry up. >> i'm going to try. a law enforcement official tells nbc news it appears a second american has been killed while fighting for the militant group isis in syria. his identity has not yet been revealed, but reports suggest he died in the same firefight as american douglas macarthur mccain who joined ranks with the terror group after crossing the border with turkey. by some counts up to 100 u.s. citizens are now fighting long side the islamic extremists. meanwhile the mother of another u.s. journalist being held hostage by isis is speaking out, shirley sotloff made a plea
to the islamic state, the group that executed james foley. >> since steven's capture i've learned a lot about islam. i've learned that islam teaches that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he's an innocent journalist. i've always learned that you can grant amnesty. i ask you to please release my child. >> you know, mika, it's probably not going to work. like mike said, they are dealing with absolute animals over there, but that mother's plea i think was strategically was a pretty smart plea. it's also basically daring him. do you really have the power? are you big enough, all powerful mighty, are you powerful enough to let him go? if they're smart, and they don't seem to be smart, they will let him go because i tell you what, hell is going to rain down from
above for what they did to james foley. it just is. do that to another american and really your death warrant is signed. >> we can only pray they will make that equation. >> you know they're going too far. >> hopefully. we are following developments new from kiev where ukraine's president claims russian forces have entered a southeastern border town but stopped short of calling it an invasion. poroshenko is convening an emergency meeting of ukraine security and defense council to decide the government's next step. the russian defense ministry has yet to comment on these latest claims. a new poll shows mitt romney is still the clear favorite among republican voters in iowa for 2016. the "usa today"/suffolk university poll shows the 2012 republican nominee with 35% support from likely caucus voters. 10% undecided. 9% backing mike huckabee. without romney's name in the
poll, the top choice is undecided with 17%. >> so keep that up, mike. you also don't see a lot of names you would have seen a year ago, people like ted cruz and other conservative stal watwart. i think it shows that main street republicanism coming more in vogue because a lot of rock solid conservatives are saying we have to win in 2016. >> well, that's -- look, given the demographics of this country, they have a minimal chance of winning the white house, republicans. women, hispanics. mitt romney gives them their best chance one would think from looking at the rest of this field. >> i think rand paul will move up, we'll see. i'm watching him. there's a growing push to arm police officers with body cameras that give a more complete view of incidents like the one involving michael brown. senator claire mccaskill says if
departments want federal funding, the video recorder should be added to their everyday equipment. denver police announced they have been wearing cameras for months. small cities are already using the technology as well. look at this video from celina, texas, showing a police officer seemingly taking down a suspect for no reason. it's cut and dry, right? >> this is the dash cam and it looks like the cop is being aggressive and just tackled this guy for no reason. >> when you look at his body camera, you can see the officer is attacked. it tells a completely different side of the story. the chief there says his officers know they're being documented at all times. this is an incredible example of why you can't judge just one report from an event, just one side of the story or just one angle from a camera. >> you just can't. one angle from a camera so often doesn't tell the story. it also doesn't talk about the
stress cops are under all the time. as i said before, you put cameras on all cops, the only people it hurts are bad cops. >> it's a great benefit to the police because what happens -- and the public because what happens, you get those two camera angles, those two events occur, obviously the police officer didn't do anything wrong really. he was attacked. what you do is given the power of social media is you put both of those right up on social media to calm any potential public unrest. >> yes. it's transparency at its best. >> and we still don't know what happened with michael brown. if those cops had been wearing cameras, we would know by now. and you know what would have happened by now? the cop would have either been indicted and in jail or it would have been seen as justified. and a lot of this hell that we've gone through in august and the suffering that the people in ferguson have gone through in august would have been avoided. put cameras on cops. >> the one thing we do see out of this is whoevers alleged
suspect is, what the cop had in his hand, the flashlight. we don't see him ever draw his weapon. so we don't know what happened in the michael brown story. we don't know exactly when the cop drew his weapon. there is cell phone video that's been turned in, but that's what that video shows, that there was a different assumption made. but that suspect, he thought he was trying to take someone into custody that wasn't going to be violent. that person turned out to be violent. but the cop didn't draw a weapon initially. senator kirsten gillibrand is making the roubnds. her book is part biography and part call to action for the women's movement. "people" magazine details some of the most uncomfortable moments in the book. while in the congressional gym, the mother of two said an older male colleague told her, quote, good thing you're working out because you wouldn't want to get porky. >> i think, joe, you've come up
with the answer. cameras on congressmen. >> especially congressmen. congresswomen usually are okay. >> on another occasion after she lost 50 pounds, a member of the senate squeezed her stomach -- >> who seiqueezes stomachs? >> who does that? and saying this while squeezing her stomach. don't lose too much weight now. i like my girls chubby. >> what a line. >> what a guy. >> so in "usa today," your favorite republican candidate of the year, jodi ernst. >> oh, the castration candidate. >> she's in a deadlock in iowa. i've got to say these races this fall, it's going to be one of the most fascinating midterm elections in our life times, because, mike, you said before, first of all, who's going to vote. >> low turnout. >> really low turnout. but secondly, every one of these races in close. in states where republicans should be ahead by five, ten,
still close. it is deadlocked. these are going to go down to the wire and determine the last two years of barack obama's presidency and his legacy is pretty darn amazing how close all these races are. >> which of the senate races that are all contested senate races that we once thought would go gop big, which one surprises you the most? >> i'm shocked by arkansas. >> me too. >> we had tom cotton on here. we all said when tom left why don't you just go ahead and call him senator. that guy is like this. well, but tom was forced to take a lot of votes in the house of representatives that a lot of people in the house of representatives thought made him cool to their constituents, to their base. and now even in a conservative state like arkansas, tom is having to answer for some of those votes. and that one shocks me. i thought arkansas would be off the board by now. it's not even close. >> is it okay to say that i did my run yesterday in a joni ernst t-shirt with a castrated pig on
it? >> they're good, they're really soft. she is amazing. >> rick perry -- >> rick perry, we need -- we all wanting the "wanted" t-shirts. >> somebody won't be grabbing that. coming up, the national outrage over the shooting involving the 9-year-old girl with an uzi. still ahead, the founder of chic and shoot, tina wilson-cohen joins us next. she has a gun range. we'll ask her if she'd ever let this happen. plus a man suspected of insider trading makes a run for it. that's pretty darn good form. >> he lost his flip-flop. and things get weird when jimmy kimmel tries to get jennifer aniston to relive her days on the set of "friends." >> i know, jimmy, i know it's my line but this is a really stupid line. it's dumb. this is really dumb. >> is it dumber than living in a huge apartment in new york city for eight years even though you

the accidental shooting death of a gun instructor by a young girl is stirring an important debate in arizona and across the country. let's bring in nbc news correspondent joe fryer live in white hills, arizona. joe, the shooting range is apparently a really popular tourist destination. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. this is a very remote part of northern arizona. it's an hour away from las vegas, but a lot of tourists from vegas do come here to take part in activities at the
shooting range. it is open once again, but after a 9-year-old girl accidentally shot and killed an instructor while operating an uzi here, there is a debate. should kids so young be allowed to shoot guns that are so powerful. >> can you see the target? >> reporter: to many it's a shocking sight. a child holding an automatic weapon. >> if anything happens, i'll be right there to grab the gun, okay? >> reporter: but to some it's responsible parenting. >> once you desensitize your kids and let them shoot enough, they're not going to be curious. >> reporter: jeremy is the ceo of tactical firearms in texas. >> keep going, keep going. >> reporter: he teaches his children how to shoot guns starting at age 5. >> people may criticize me but i guarantee if something happens, i feel comfortable that my son is going to be alive. >> reporter: his son, ian, just turned 10, and usually doesn't shoot fully automatic weapons. he did wednesday with his dad's close supervision. >> i think it's fun and it's
more of learning stuff. >> reporter: in most states, children with legally fire fully automatic guns at shooting ranges if they're supervised. but that practice is being questioned after a 9-year-old girl accidentally killed an instructor at an arizona gun range. she was firing an uzi at a place called bullets and burgers. >> these submarine guns are designed for military purpose. children 9 years old shouldn't shoot them, even with supervision. >> reporter: 39-year-old charles baka was killed. >> we loved charlie. >> reporter: the gun range allows supervised kids as young as 8 years old to fire guns but plans to review its policy after talking with authorities. >> it's not a terrible big loss if we don't let any children shoot, because they're on1% of r business. >> reporter: states are responsible for regulating gun access. after a connecticut boy died in
a similar incident, that state did limit access to machine guns for kids who are under 16 years old. mika. >> nbc's joe fryer. thank you very much. let's bring in former secret service agent and founder of chic and shoot, tina wilson-cohen. good to see you again. you actually have a business that encourages women to learn how to shoot guns but how to shoot guns responsibly we talked to a lot of gun owners yesterday and people that have grown up around firearms their entire life. they just look at this video and they can't believe it happened. talk about all the things that went wrong. >> exactly. good morning. >> good morning. >> first of all, yes, i was -- i was shocked when i read this. first of all, my condolences to the family of this tragic death that did not have to happen, but
also my apologies, you know, for every sensible, responsible gun owner out there to the family of this young girl. i'm just appalled that we have children that will actually be able to shoot these types of weapons. >> you just wonder not only -- i talked to a lot of grown men that use these weapons and they talk about how much of a kick there is and weapons for even grown men, i'm sitting there wondering, and you hate to talk about this young man that passed away, it's a terrible tragedy. but everybody said why wasn't his hands on the gun? why wasn't he behind her? it seems like pilots tell me airplanes don't crash for one reason, they crash when ten or 11 things went wrong. i think this is exactly what happened yesterday or the day before. >> you know, i agree with you on that.
i can go ahead and provide maybe a flight class or have my son or daughter take a flying lesson but that doesn't mean i would release an f-18 for them to go ahead and go out and fly. the same analogy can be used in firearms. i mean this was a powerful gun that of course is used out in the field with our military or law enforcement. why would i let a 9-year-old child shoot this type of gun. >> so then i think i'm going to try and ask this question because i think -- i don't want it to sound judgmental, i really don't, but even the name of this place and serving burgers and kids shooting uzis, tina, i think the question i have for you, especially since the business that you run, is it selling a good time to teach people how to use military weapons? shouldn't it be packaged differently? i mean this is a serious thing that people are learning to do. i'm not sure i'm against that.
i'm not sure i'm against women learning to shoot weapons and what you do. but i think i am against it being a fun, great time to videotape your kid shooting an uzi. is it funny? what is the attitude toward this? >> a better way to put it is, i'm just saying from somebody that has a lot of friends in the gun culture -- >> it's not funny. >> -- tina, i've heard one instructor after another instructor say the first thing we do is we try to teach younger americans to respect the power and the danger of the weapon, just like a lifeguard might say respect the power of the ocean. >> but it's not child's play. >> yeah, it's not a little tourist trap. >> i totally agree with you. we have lost, it seems like, in this country the sensibility and also the liability or the consequences, you know, that when we get into the firearms and dealing with guns. it seems like we are -- it's the
way it's packaged now to come out and have a good time. >> right. >> and shoot this type of weaponry, you know, burgers, fries and whatever else it may be. but we've kind of gotten away from the responsibility that we have as gun owners. you know, i have to make sure that not only am i being safe, but i'm also providing a safe environment for other people in that vicinity, in that area. >> tina, can you provide any common sense answer to the following question. why would anyone teach a 9, a 10, 11 or even a 12-year-old how to shoot a gun, any gun? >> for any gun, i am a firm believer that, yes, if you're going to have a firearm in the home, i have seen where if you take a mature child, and only you as a parent know the maturity level of your child. if you take a child and you feel that he or she is mature enough,
responsible enough and understands and grasps the responsibility, then i've seen it on many levels many times that this is prudent, it's wise to go ahead and introduce firearms training to a child. but to go ahead and take this type of gun, though, and place it in the hands of a child that even i myself when i was an agent out in the field, i would have a difficult time as a 105-pound woman shooting this type of gun. they do tend to ride up. we're talking about a fully automatic gun. there's no reason why you would want to introduce this type of skill to a child. >> as i said yesterday, thomas, you know, in certainly northwest florida and certainly when i was young in mississippi, a lot of dads would take their sons out hunting with them when they were 6, 7, 8, but it was all about gun safety. it was almost like yes, son, this is what i do every weekend
in the fall. come along with me and i'm going to show you the right way had to it. those kids grow up as responsible gun owners that respect the power of the weapon that they hold. >> most definitely. >> tina, real quickly, are you disappointed that the nra has not come out with any type of statement about what happened in arizona? >> frankly, and this is just my opinion, i'm very disappointed in the nra. not only not coming out and speaking against this but on many other levels. there are other organizations out there like the national shooting sports foundation that maybe let's hear what they have to say. but yeah, i am very disappointed. >> all right, tina, thank you so much. >> tina wilson-cohen. thank you. >> the nra may come out with a statement later on, we'll just wait and see. it is such a tragedy, and i tend to think the further i get away from this that this is not really as such of a gun rights
issue as it is decisions made by parents, decisions made by gun range owners. i don't know how a gun range owner allows an 8-year-old girl, a 9-year-old girl, because you may have parents, if it's like burgers and bullets, that come in that don't know the power of these weapons themselves. >> and it's selling a good time? i mean let's -- the video of susie shooting an uzi? >> it's in the interest of protecting everyone's right to the second amendment and protecting everyone's legal right to own guns would come out with a common sense approach that says we need better policies around the country to not put an uzi in the hands of a child. >> an overwhelming majority of nra members out there and i certainly know a hell of a lot of them, they don't think you should put an uzi of an 8 or 9-year-old girl. 50 years in the making, bob

burger king is moving to
canada and they think that it's a tax dodge. they think if they move to canada and they bought up the doughnut place, tim horton's, now the government is not happy about it. president obama is not happy about it. take a look at what happened when he heard that burger king was moving to canada. watch this. >> financed by billionaire warren buffett, burger king will purchase canadian doughnut chain tim horton's in order to avoid paying american taxes. upon hearing about the deal, president obama immediately took back buffet's medal of freedom. more news after this. >> that's very cold. you know, bob dylan's six-disk compilation basement tapes complete. the bootleg series, volume 11, will be released more than half a century after it was recorded. this collection was restored from original tapes recorded in 1967 during dylan's legendary sessions with the band that
levon helm ran called the band of the during that time they recorded over 100 songs in a studio in new york. the album hits shelves november the 4th. mike, i was just telling the story about the band told the story how they would just be sitting in a room. dylan would come over, say i wrote another song. he'd teach them to them, record the song. dylan would come in and say i just wrote another song. they'd go in. it was an extraordinary time for bob dylan as an artist. what a band to have backing him up. >> levon helm was such an artist and such a good man. >> i heard he was such a great man. >> played up until a few weeks before he died up in saratoga -- not saratoga -- woodstock, new york. would perform concerts nearly every weekend up in his barn up there. >> they're still doing it up there, right? >> you know something, at 9:00
we're going to go to spotify. >> can you imagine being that talented. where you leave the room, write a song and then record a song. this next story from cnbc.com. an insider trader suspect making a run, doing it barefoot, after noticing camera crews in front of his place. he fled from his manhattan apartment after spotting cameras. he kept running even after his flip-flops flipped off. he was indicted on 13 charges of securities fraud and was accused of making nearly $540,000 in illegal profits. but yep, they got the close-up of the flip-flops. "the wall street journal," the fbi and secret service are looking into whether russian hackers are behind recent attacks on jpmorgan chase and four other u.s. financial institutions. according to bloomberg news, officials are investigating whether the incident is possible retaliation for u.s. sanctions against russia. officials say the cyber attack resulted in the loss of sensitive data. just moments ago a jpmorgan
spokesperson said the company is taking additional steps to safeguard sensitive information. and that brings us to cnbc's sara eisen. sara, take us behind the scenes of jpmorgan and this hacking scandal. >> there's a lot we still don't know about this hack attack. the biggest question that the authorities and fbi are going to figure out at this point, is it financially motivated? in other words, we are hearing from sources that some of the credit card and account information was stolen, but not clear whether they're doing anything about it or using it or any consumers are facing losses. was it that or simply to gather intelligence which would point more to the direction of the bloomberg report that it could be state controlled. no definite answers on this point so i don't want to overplay what the motivation or who the source was. >> hold on. sara, that's what we do here on "morning joe." we overplay things, we generalize. we try -- >> rumors, speculation. >> that's it. you have just described -- like that's our show.
that was a pitch for a show. we're just going to make a lot of stuff up. let me ask you something about this warren buffett, burger king/tim horton's deal. now it appears that it's going to go through but they're not going to escape to canada. what do we know about warren buffett's dealings in this and when did they make the decision that they weren't going to move to canada to evade taxes? >> here's the deal. they are moving corporate headquarters, the address domicile will move from miami to ontario. they say it's not tax driven, it's not motivated, it's because they are acquiring tim horton's which is the largest fast food chain and the bulk of their assets will be in canada. analysts will tell you no question about it down the road, even if not immediately, this will save burger king, tim horton's if the deal goes through on taxes. it is lower tax rates. >> so this is a classic inversion, right? >> it is a classic inversion. if they want to call it that or
not, that's become a very dirty word in washington right now and comes with all sorts of political ramifications. what they're saying also in terms of the head quarter mixup thing is burger king's operational headquarters will remain in miami so they're saying that in a nod to the criticism that they're getting about taking the whopper and moving it up north. >> so they will be doing a corporate inversion. it is wrong -- >> i'm trying to figure out am i going to boycott the whopper for the rest of my life or just east at crystal's or not? >> look, some members of congress will probably tell you to do that. the point is, though, they're saying they're going to pay all of their american taxes. warren buffett is going to pay his u.s. taxes as he helps finance this deal. and the fact is, this is legal. they're not doing anything wrong. sure, the president has called them corporate deserters and the treasury secretary has called it unpatriotic, but that is just what companies do. they have a responsibility to their shareholders and to their businesses and they're trying to run them smoothly, efficiently
and grow them. >> exactly, sara. thanks so much. greatly appreciate it. you know sara is right, if you're a ceo, your job is to maximize profit. but if you're a member of congress and you're the president of the united states, your job is to protect american workers and make sure that burger king doesn't have all of us pay their taxes. washington needs to do something. >> a corporate inversion is a corporate inversion. baseball's bad boy from the 1990s gets a makeover. we'll explain it in hollyweird.

the people in the -- she's afraid for the people in the waiting room but you know who is screwed? the people in the waiting room. >> state, federal and local officials are probably tracking down those folks at this moment to make sure there was no exposure to whatever agent this person has. >> when you hear about a deadly virus with a death rate up to 90% it has the chance to cause panic. we've heard every expert say the chance is zero it will be taken to the united states. >> five minutes after the top of the hour. to keep us posted with the news on the cease-fire in israel, here is heather. >> good morning. hope you're off to a great morning. 72 hours of peace, that is the agreement between israel and hamas, the cease-fire taking effect

allowing her to spend about 20 minutes with her son after that hearing. former white house press secretary james brady has died. brady served president ronald reagan but was badly wounded in an assassination attempt on the president's life in 1981 in washington, d.c. after that shooting, brady took on a personal crusade for gun control. he eventually died from health problems that were related to that shooting. former first lady nancy reagan releasing this statement saying, quote, jim was the personification of courage and perseverance. he and s.a.r.ry brady action his -- he and s.a.r.ry brady never gave up. james brady was 73 years old. those are your headlines. what a legacy he leaves. >> no kidding. heather, thank you. yesterday we played you sound bites of the president of the united states. he was asked a number of times at different town halls, mr. president, why don't you do something about this immigration problem, and he said because i don't have the legal authority to do it. now we're hearing that the
white house feels that they do have the legal authority. they're waiting for eric holder to give them the thumbs up sign to do it. and they could annestize up to five million of illegals in the country even though the president said in the past no legal authority. >> we showed you on video former house speaker nancy pelosi becoming completely unhinged on the house floor calling tom marino a liar saying remember when you had control of congress and the white house. why didn't you do anything back then? she called him a liar, said he is an insignificant person. our story developed more and ed henry pressed the white house press secretary josh earnest on the same they think. he said the president was too busy. >> the first two years of the administration the president vowed in 2008 by the end of my first year in office we'll pass a
comprehensive immigration law. they failed to act for two years. why didn't he do anything then? >> a couple of things about that. the first is at the time, you recall in 2009 there are many things on the president's plate. >> as there are now. israel, gaza, syria, the economy. he has a lot going on now. >> i think the crisis we faced in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the house, senate and white house, 2009-2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration problems then? >> there were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. >> because the world is not on fire today. >> that is their excuse. we were busy. >> was one of the those crises the obamacare crisis, the political crisis, the necessity to pass obamacare. let's take a look back at
this nugget back then. >> tens of millions of americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barack obama. [applause] >> they were busy with that big effing deal. they were busy with it because they made it their priority. they made it number one. now they're making immigration number one even though we've got so many things going on in this country as ed detailed. one of the biggest problems, you talk to people on the street and they say there is this problem with invasion on our southern border. it's curious because we had on the channel nick adams, a political commentator in australia. he was talking about how a number of years back australia essentially found themselves in the same situation we are right now.
and how did australia turn the boat around? here's nick adams. >> we had a problem with our border between 2001 and 2007 and then a government full of secular progressive pinheads got elected and dismantled this effective border protection policy that was in place with the usual claims it was inhumane, it was wrong, it was immoral. the conservative government basically came in and said we are going to determine who comes into this country and the circumstances under which they come and they got the australian military to sort it out. a sweep of measures which included turning back the boats, towing back the boats. but most of all our prime minister said if you come to australia the wrong way, if you come to australia illegally, you will never get to stay. you will never get to live in australia. you will never get to be -- >> once you -- >> the problem was the government was full of secular progressive
pinheads and then eventually the boss of the country said if you come here, we're going to send you home. >> how did they solve the problem? they cut off the water spigot, they turned the boats around like we heard so many cries like turn the buses around, turn the planes around and send these illegal immigrants back to where they came from. >> they have been very effective in terms of what they have done in australia. it has created a tremendous amount of controversy in terms of the practices they engage in in terms of holding these people who are seeking asylum. they have the same controversy going on here but they have been more effective in stopping the tide of illegal immigration in australia. >> is our border patrol effective at stopping the invasion on our southern border? we've got video to show you. it's a truck driver going through an border patrol check point.
he's wearing eye cam glasses and taping the border patrol agent and he asks him a question and the answer, it's quite something. we want to show it to you right now. watch. >> border patrol. how many people on board? u.s. citizens. >> does it really matter? >> not anymore unfortunately. thank you. >> you too. >> are you a citizen? yeah. but does it really matter? not anymore. unfortunately. thank you. >> wouldn't it be something to have that level of honesty from high officials in government? >> good point. you saw just from the smirk on the border patrol's face, you realized how disheartened these guys have to be while they're changing diapers and warming baby formula and handing out lollipops and being glorified baby sitters and not being able to do their jobs in some
instances. they're saying we ought to be taken seriously but right now we're not. >> broarm agents doing their -- border patrol agents doing their jobs and just as frustrated as the rest of us. >> also this morning voters head to the polls in four states today. all eyes are on the kansas primary and peter doocy is live in washington. many races seem to be pitting tea party backed candidates against established incumbents. >> reporter: the marquee race is in kansas where republican senator pat roberts on the job for 33 years must now defend his seat from a tea party challenger dr. milton wolf. this race has been ugly with challenger wolf accused of putting jokes about his patients' injuries on-line while roberts faces question about where he really lives kansas or d.c. roberts is still up double
digits. in kansas, the republican candidate is fighting to keep his job while winn fights to take his job e. she has been using a platform because her son got injured in a gun deal gone bad. sentencing reform is center stage in the winn campaign as is legalizing pot. in michigan one of the most prominent tea party lawmakers in congress is on the ballot today as a chamber of commerce backed businessman brian ellis tries to surge ahead into a congressional seat. ellis doesn't think amash works within the system. we will wait and see if anyone can pull off a surprise victory like dave brat did against eric cantor in virginia in june. >> peter doocy live in our
nation's capital, thank you very much. peter johnson, over to you. >> with california suffering its worst drought on record, water restrictions are rampant but that is not stopping marijuana growers from siphoning water from creeks and streams to irrigate their crops, while leaving the rest of the golden state high and dry. lieutenant patrick foy is with the california department of fish and wildlife. he's seen the damage grown by illegal marijuana growers guzzling up a lot of waters. good morning, lieutenant. we've got illegal marijuana growers, medicinal marijuana growers diverting creeks in a way that's caused the drought to be made much worse, the worst drought in california for many years. tell us about it. >> now that we have several years of drought it has become exacerbated by the
process of these guys taking these small creeks and damming them with illegal diversion dams and taking the water out of the creeks, in some cases, in fact many cases they're taking every drop of the water out of the creeks to divert to their crops. that deprives the native wildlife, the local wildlife of their most pressures resource and in fact these pipes are so big that they oftentimes will justify the amount of marijuana based solely upon the amount of water that's available. they will take every single drop to grow these marijuana plants. >> the law requires they only take 10% from these creeks. sometimes they're taking the entire creek basically. what you're seeing in california is an attack also on wildlife as a result of what they're doing in terms of fertilizers, in terms of using rat poisons. tell us how it is affecting wildlife and what kind of wildlife is getting killed as a result of their criminal efforts. >> there's usually, most of
these growers have zero rights to these waterways. they have no legal ability to take the water out of the creek. they take it any way. in addition to taking the water from the wildlife, they use these massive amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, plant hormones, all these different things and ultimately have a problem with the wildlife that comes in and they try to either dabbling -- damage the crops or get into the growers food sources and many of these deer, raccoon, basically every animal that lives in the forest have either been poached, shot by marijuana growers to prevent them from hassling them or getting into their crops or they have been poisoned by the rodent killers used in huge quantities to protect the irrigation pipelines from the rodents. they will gnaw on the pipelines and put little holes in them so they have to use massive amounts of rodent killers. >> the final question: what can you and the other officials do in california to shut this down, to stop this and return the water
to where it should be going, to californiaans who need it legitimately? >> aggressive enforcement is the key tool we've used. we went to the governors office and he authorized seven new positions for us to help address this very issue. that is where we're going right now in order to try to better address the problem and help out with our major drought situation. >> bad problem and interesting solution. lieutenant, thanks for your service on this. keep us up to date on this please. >> thank you. good to see you. >> they may have escaped death but they have not escaped the law. why they could be busted for playing around on the trakdz -- tracks. >> from the battle field to wrestling wring. a war hero gave his leg for this nation but didn't let that stop him from fulfilling his dream as a professional wrestler. he's here live.

temperatures, look at parts of the east, we have temperatures into the upper 80's. it will be a lot warmer in places like new york city. in parts of southern california you are looking at conditions that are a little bit improving over, at least compared to what you saw over the weekend. the high temperature in l.a. forecast to be 80 degrees. a lot of that rain has moved eastward and into portions of the northern plains. look at how much rain we're expecting across parts of south dakota, parts of northwest iowa. we're expecting as much as four inches of rain. that is going to be a concern out there. showers and storms rolling through today into tomorrow and temperatures will be cooling off across the great lakes wednesday and thursday. let's head back inside. >> maria molina with the latest on the weather. let's talk a little bit about this. we detailed a little at the end of last week and that was that john brennan, the guy who runs the c.i.a., apologized to congress because the c.i.a. was
spying on congress. think about that for a second. the c.i.a. spying on members of the house intelligence -- rather the senate intelligence committee because they were investigating the c.i.a. and as the c.i.a. was investigating them, everything got all haywire. >> which is clearly a violation of the constitution and the separation of executive branch and the legislative branch there. but is an apology enough? and what happens if he's proved wrong? you remember back in march he said he had no idea that any of this was going on and that once a report came out, things would be found to be false. >> we've got judge andrew napolitano. he's apologized for the c.i.a. spying on the u.s. senate. where would you like to start? >> it's a very scary story. first of all, the c.i.a. works for the president and the c.i.a. gets to spy, lie, steal, even fight
secret wars as long as it reveals all this accurately and truthfully to the senate intelligence committee and the house intelligence committee. when it lies to the people to whom it reports, who are essentially its regulators, a, it commits a crime. and, b, it loses the authority to do the things the president wants it to do. >> let's talk about authority, telling the truth and lying. let's watch what mr. brennan says in march with regard to these allegations. >> when the facts come out on this, i think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and hacking will be proved wrong. >> there's a little bit of waiver about the tremendous lying and spying but this has never happened before. the head of the c.i.a. publicly acknowledging that his agents spied on the senate of the united states of america. that violates the constitution per se because that's one branch of the
government -- the executive branch -- invading the privacy of the other branch, absolutely prohibited. he also denied that it happened there. and according to senator feinstein, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, he denied it in one of the private secret briefings to her. guess what? if he lied there, he can be indicted and prosecuted for lying to congress. >> which one is worse, the lying or being a leader that doesn't know what your people are doing? >> i'll tell you what's worse. what's the worst of all of this is that if the president did not know about this, he's out to lunch. and if the president did know about this and permitted it to go on and did nothing to stop it, he probably has committed an impeachable offense by authorizing and permitting his agents to spy on his adversaries in the senate. >> the president is still standing by his man. the white house had this to say. listen to this. >> i have full confidence in john brennan. i think he has acknowledged and directly apologized to
senator feinstein that c.i.a. personnel did not properly handle an investigation as to how certain documents that were not authorized to be released to the senate staff got somehow into the hands of the senate staff. it's clear from the i.g. report that some very poor judgment was shown in terms of how that was handled. keep in mind that john brennan was the person who called for the i.g. report. >> john brennan is also the guy who said we didn't do anything wrong. >> how do you summon the appropriate amount of outrage in terms of understanding this? this seems like something out of 24 or some terrible novel or something that the man who works for the president, the head of the c.i.a., is spying on the united states senate. >> the language you just heard from the president of the united states as he attempted to justify it is enough to make george orwell blush. and right before the president made that announcement, in order to bury this, he said you know
what? i looked at that senate report and we did torture people. we tortured some folks, the way he put it, in the bush administration. by the way, the c.i.a. has been spying on the smat and john brennan admits it. all this on a sleepy, lazy friday afternoon when the public's attention is elsewhere. the government is out of control. the president is permitting spying on the senate. and these guys can't keep their jobs when they lie. >> and democrats are calling for -- >> the democrats are calling for this. >> the attorney general investigating this? >> the activist attorney general? i wish he would investigate. a great point, peter because when the c.i.a. said -- when the senate ak cowed -- when the senate accused of cry of spying on it, they made referrals to the justice department and what did the justice department do? the activist attorney general punted. >> what peter is referring to -- >> who is the activist?
>> eric holder, our attorney general, was interviewed by juan williams of fox news and he also has a column as well. and this is what the attorney general said partisan. if you-- said. if you want to call me an activist attorney general i will proudly accept that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things, bring the u.s. closer to ideals expressed in our founding documents. judge, i thought we wanted an attorney general who looked at the law and said that is either legal or it's not legal. and not somebody who says i think i can make this legal if i do this. >> to look at the law, look at human behavior, decide whether it is legal or not, decide whether there is evidence or not to prosecute, independent of the ideological wishes of the president, that is the reason we have an attorney general. in fairness to eric holder, attorneys general of both parties have been wedded at
the hip to the president. but for him to use that hot button word activist, and i know juan ginned him up a little bit, if by activist he means by defending the constitution, i'm with him. >> is he closer to an activist or closer to a community organizer? >> closer to a community organizer in the sense of i will do the president's bidding and look the other way when something happens that i don't want to prosecute because it is a hot political potato. >> is it a mistake to use this with juan williams and use hot button words? >> i think the word activist will be one he wishes he could have used another phrase. >> think about the supreme court. do you want a justice on the supreme court who is an activist? no. >> we connote activist with someone who inl -- injects their own ideology and uses
that as a guidepost. that is not what we want, not what we need now. he shouldn't have punted on this n.s.a. spy. he shouldn't have punted to the black panthers preventing everyone from voting in philadelphia six years ago. selective enforcement of the law. is that activism or such a good lawyer? that is what it is. that is the phrase, selective enforcement of the law based on political ideology. >> in new york city there is this case where this fellow who had been selling loose cigarettes for 50 cents, he was taken by the cops, involved in an altercation. eventually he died and the medical examiner said he died because of a choke hold or something like a choke hold which was executed by one of the cops. now reverend al sharpton and others are calling for the attorney general and the department of justice to get involved.
is this the kind of case given the fact that he's an activist attorney general he would inject himself into? >> i might be on the other side of this one. but this is initially a state crime and there is probable cause to believe there is a crime because the medical examiner ruled this a homicide, the choke hold. if the state fails to prosecute, the feds should come in. >> in the ordinary course the state has the first crack at it? >> absolutely because this is on its face a violation of state law. >> interesting stuff. i love having a judge and an attorney. judge, thank you very much. >> pleasure, guys. i love the purple anna. >> we're still on tv. >> i haven't had my espresso yet. >> coming up, youtube's newest and dumbest and most dangerous teen trend. we're warning it's hard to watch.

otherwise stay up late and watch the news for, check an app on your phone. the idea is that apps will leap off the phone into everyday objects. so this has a little transmitter that gets data from accuweather.com for your zip code and just makes a little sprinkling led pattern so you don't forget it on the way out. >> right down there. so if you had that in your umbrella stand and you looked at it as you headed out and it's going off, you know to take it with you. >> that's right. couldn't be simpler. >> this is another one you invented. >> yes. this is called a glow cap. this fits on ordinary medication packaging. it will pulse with light and play cute ring tones and text you so you don't forget to take your medication. so it's another example of sort of embedding sensors in everything. medication packaging so that people are healthier and taking medication. >> and for something like this, people will take their medication in a better way and more effectively and more faithfully. >> yeah. we did a clinically controlled pilot with hour regard and found
that -- harvard and found with this, people take their meds over 90% of the time, which is much greater than the average. >> some people think the microphone is bigger. but this is a camera clip. tell bus it. >> this is a life logging camera. takes a photo every 30 seconds and makes a flip book your day. it helps to capture your moments. it reveals things to you, like how often do you snack, how often are your friends looking at you and smiling. so my current company in boston called ditto labs is an image recognition company that looks at all these photos taken by something like this or social media to find brands -- >> when we saw you in the hallway, you were capturing me. >> that's right. the cameras will proliferate. >> talk about the sun sprite. >> sure. i have a bag, my bag has a little sensor on it that is solar powered that makes sure that i get another kind of
medicine which is sun. so it makes sure i get enough sun in the morning, which resets your rhythm and improves your mood throughout the day. >> especially people who live in climates that don't get a lot of sunshine. >> right. >> on your wrist, tell bus that gizmo. first i thought it was a fit built it's not. >> no. it's by a company called jaw bone. it's jewelry with sensors imbedded. so this tells me if i'm getting enough activity throughout the day and what my sleep is like. actually if i've been sitting down for over an hour, it will give me a little nudge. it will vibrate lightly to sort of prompt me -- >> no sedentary activity. >> it's not going to zap you completely, right? >> hold that up. >> does it come in larger size? doesn't look comfortable.
>> this is a product by a company in boston called the memo. it's a little onesy that has a stretch sensor imbedded so you may not have heard of this type of sensor. it senses respiration. it knows the temperature of a child. if the kid is moving around and breathing frequency. >> if it sensed dampness, it would be a good sensor to tell to you change the diaper. >> right. >> or your husband can change the diaper. >> interesting stuff. >> so the big idea here is that our relationships with technology is entirely changing. at stores we know today will jump off of the screen, embed themselves into almost everything around us. >> thank you very much. interesting stuff. coming up straight ahead on our program, a fox news alert. sean hannity is in israel. that's him right there. talking to the soldiers and even going deep into the hamas tunnels himself. will the latest cease fire be honored? he's live with doving details.

good morning. today is tuesday, august 5, 2014. aim anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. sean hannity is in israel talking to the soldiers and even going deep into the hamas tunnels himself. he's joining us live in moments. and it's the newest, dumbest and most dangerous teen trend maybe ever. >> oh! >> what parents need to know coming up ahead. then how would you react if your kid did this when they found a gun? >> oh, oh.
>> our hidden cameras capture what happens when children are alone in the presence of guns and the parents watching behind closed doors are stunned. we got a busy hour kicking off right now. you're watching "fox & friends" right here on the fox news channel. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. ♪ ♪ >> are you in the market for a new car? we're not going to have any fear factors coming your way. we have "consumer reports" giving us the best cars in four separate categories. >> later today after the program, i actually am taking one of my children to look for cars because heading back to collod choices here. >> absolutely. if you're looking for a pick up truck, we'll tell you what "consumer reports" is the best. meanwhile, one minute after the top of the hour and we start this hour with a fox news alert.
sean hannity is live near the front line there between israel and gaza and he joins us live today. sean, the cease fire started a little while ago. how is it holding? >> steve, good morning. let me give you the lay of the land. so far it does seem to be holding at this moment, but it's very interesting where we are right now. we're on the israeli-gaza border and if you look over here to my right and to my left on my right you see an israeli regiment with tanks, et cetera. they have literally pulled back out of gaza, which is directly behind me. i'll give you the geographical location. the same thing is happening exactly to my left. now, if you look out where i am here straight out, there is a little bit of l.a. style haze and murkiness. but if you look way in the background, you can see gaza city. in the near distance, the second road that you will see here, that is exactly where the border lies, just beyond that is a town
that was a launching pad for hamas and where they were firing a lot of rockets and pretty much that town has been wiped out in just the last couple of weeks here. over to my left is stay road. we spent a good part of the morning here. the cease fire began at 8:00 a.m. local time. it's 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon here. and just 7:59, a minute before it began, 30 rocks literally were fired from where i just showed you right into stay road. i spent a lot of time with the mayor there today. he said that in the last ten years, over 10,000 rockets have been fired from gaza into that town. we spent a lot of time inside children's playground that has six separate bunkers in there because the kids can't literally play outside because as you know, you have 15 seconds to actually get to a bomb shelter. i interviewed a lot of the parents and a lot of the people that work there. very compelling story in terms of what life is really like on a day-to-day basis with all these
rockets being fired from gaza into that area. but it's been a pretty informative time here. since we've been down on the ground some 26 hours now. >> yeah. not just on the ground, but below the ground. we want our viewers to see some video of you going into some of the hamas tunnels. these elaborate infiltration tunnels that are hard concrete. let's take a look at this video. >> i used to be a contractor. look at the level of sophistication here. you've got these cement walls and blocks. >> all the same size. >> all built out, all pieced together. by the way, the construction overall, very solid. >> very. >> this isn't going anywhere. so they worked their way all the way lieu. >> and it takes a year. we estimate the progress it takes. >> and you have to have a lot of people working. >> and a lot of money t and a lot of digging to get this. >> this is cement that's incredibly valuable on the strip that's going here rather than
anywhere else. >> a benchmark for success for israel to possibly pull back is destroy the tunnels. we heard initially there may be 30, possibly more. your sources are saying a lot more than that. >> i've been told by people here that they may have as many as 100. what's amazing about this, as i walk through this tunnel, first of all, it's about 60 feet below ground and the israelis literally he is coo straighted around it. there was excavation going on so you could get to the actual tunnel location. you go down a very steep hill. you get inside the tunnel. when you get inside, it's probably made for somebody 5' 9 or 5' 10. i'm six foot. i had to crouch down a little bit. if you look at the top of the tunnel, you had prepared literally formed pieces of cement. the walls were reinforced concrete cement. they had tracks on the bottom to bring the materials in and obviously as they're digging, they can bring the ground out. that is about one. literally behind me right where
the border is, there is another tunnel location that the israelis found and out of that location came hamas militants that killed a couple of israelis just a few weeks ago. so it's a pretty sophisticated network of tunnels here and if the peace holds, israel has to ask the question, is it better to tip the job now or is this something they'll have to get back to in the near future? >> you asked some questions of some of the idf soldiers back from the front lines about why they're fighting in this incredible struggle and it's interesting what they had to say. let's watch together. >> when you go to just where a little over a mile away from the border and where the fighting is going on and earlier today we were at a playground and there you have all of these bomb shelters, when you see that, what do you think? >> i grew up like that. it's not new for me. >> how are you? you speak english, right? >> yeah, that's right. >> what do you say to how
important this operation is and to finish it? >> the operation is very, really important. we've been waiting for a long time for such a serious operation. our people in israel are being attacked every day, are being threatened, something that i believe that we are the only country in the world that has to face such a threat such as the people coming out of the tunnel. >> they are rough solved to -- resolved to settle this, aren't they? >> you know, steve, peter, let me just tell you this, so i spent the time today, again, you see behind me is where gaza city is right over my right shoulder, over that way and over there you've got starute where i spent a lot of time today. in there is this daycare center 'cause the kids can't play. we spent a lot of time with the mayor. we went to the police station. we saw literally hundreds and hundreds of rockets that have been recovered.
the guy who runs this daycare center, in part funded by a lot of americans, estee lauder and other people. but they built this one place where the kids can actually play and i asked the mothers that bring their kids there every day, okay. if you've had 4,000 rockets in the last six weeks which is what they told me have been fired from over there to right over here, why do you stay? the answer was very simple. this is our home. the man who runs the facility says if we leave, then that means everybody begins to surrender. we're fighting not only for us, but for you because this is the free world versus those that want to bring terror to the world. it was very interesting answer considering what they live under, the threat they live under each and every day. >> absolutely. it's relentless. you never know in this case, whether or not the cease fire will hold. all fingers are crossed because like you said, just a minute before it started, a bunch of rockets into that town in israel. >> sean, your reporting has been stellar on this.
very interesting stuff. >> be safe. >> peter, if i can add just one last thing here, one of the things for all the people -- for all those people, and i know, for example, valerie jarrett and i know the state department and some others and john kerry and a lot of the president's spokes people have been speaking in days, i just have to wonder if they would experience one day, one week, one month, three months, six months with their families in this constant threat that is going on here, if it's 3200 rockets in four weeks, if it's literally starot next door which had 4,000 rockets in the last six weeks, one has to wonder, how long would you live there? how long would you want your children to live there? if you saw the rockets that i saw that they recovered, it's almost a surreal way of life that they are living. very, very different, very shocking to the conscience to
see what life can be like in a war zone like this. >> what a good way to frame it. 1,000 rockets into new york city, you think that would get a response? absolutely. >> that's an astute observation. >> sean hannity live at the gaza-israeli border, thank you very much for providing reports throughout the day right here on the fox news channel. we're going to switch gears now and go down to the border crisis that we have going on. yesterday we told you about representative tom monroe and he was talking to nancy pelosi about hey, remember when you had control of the house and the senate and the white house? why didn't you do anything about immigration reform? why is it that the president is going to have to do this on his own now and potentially amnetize 5000000 immigrants and called him a liar, became completely unhinged. ed henry pressed the white house press secretary, josh earnest, on the very same thing and said the president was too busy back then. listen. >> nancy pelosi, harry reid is running the house and senate,
first two years of this administration. the president vowed back in 2008 by the end of my first year in office we'll pass comprehensive immigration reform. why didn't he do anything then? >> the first thing is that at the time, you'll recall in 2009 there were many things on the president's plate. israel, gaza, the economy, he had a lot going on now, right? >> he does. but the crisis that we face in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, emerging jobs, that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity, but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the white house, senate, and white house, 2009, 2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration then? >> my point is that there were a lot of other crises that the president was focused on at that time. >> so earnest says they were focusing on the financial crisis. but a lot of critics say they didn't focus on it in 2009 and 10, but were focusing on
obamacare at that point. so the crisis not focused on. >> so now what the white house is doing is trying to push out this message because congress didn't change the law, the president's going to do it himself. that would be illegal, but they're trying to soften up the main stream media to press that as the message, oh, that seems reasonable. congress wouldn't do anything, so the president is just doing it himself. a little crazy. what do you think about that? e-mail us and we will read that on our little laptop machine. >> there we go. heather nauert standing by with a look at the news headlines for us. >> good morning. i have an update on the condition of that nurse who has ebola. she is infected with the virus and she's now on her way to the united states. we're talking about nancy writebol and now being flown to emory hospital in atlanta and expected to land later today and undergoing an experimental treatment and appears to have positive effects.
she will join dr. kent brantley, her colleague, who has already been in isolation since saturday in atlanta. this is feared that the virus may have spread throughout the united states after a new york city man is now being tested for possible exposure. doctors at mount sinai hospital in new york saying it's unlikely that he has ebola, but they are still awaiting the test results. let's talk about extreme weather. six inches of rain within hours in naples. roads turning into rivers there during rush hour, stalling cars and stranding drivers. imagine that, six inches in an hour. then let's talk about california. clean-up now beginning in southern california. devastating floods and also the mud slides damaging at least 30 homes and stranding thousands of people in the town around san beer dino mountains. some of the roadways still being cleared. the mud slide also blocking in 500 adults and children at a church camp.
the roads there have since been cleared, but the kids are still there and they're all now helping with the clean-up. voters headed to the polls in four states and right now all eyes are on the kansas primary. three-term republican senator pat roberts in a tight race against tea party challenger milton wolf, he's on the right. wolf is a doctor and a second cousin of president obama. then in the kansas race for governor, sam brownback is facing opposition in the republican primary. business owner jennifer nguyen is a dark horse on the ballot there. now washington state. the race for one prosecutor is going to the dogs. 9-months-old dog, nima, in canada there, her owner says he's honest and charming and that's when we like to see in our politician. voters in michigan and missouri also head to the polls today. listen to this, a democratic congresswoman, julia brownly.
she made an error just about as big as an aircraft carrier. the democrat from california sent out a taxpayer-funded letter to voters in her district and it featured a photograph of a woman in uniform. see the bottom right corner of your screen? there is just one problem. these are costumes and they're not official uniforms. also, by the way, shows a gold insignia from the german air force and perhaps what's most embarrassing, she serves on the veterans affairs committee. and those are your headlines. >> oopsy daisy. thank you very much. parents, be on the alert. come to the tv to watch this. the latest youtube trend has teen-agers lighting themselves on fire. here is a warning, a little hard to watch. no! >> okay. it's being called the fire challenge where teen-agers pour flammable liquids on themselves and flick a lighter.
several kids have received second degree burns and it is just outright stupid. oftentimes they're close to a tub or a shower or a pool, they try to put themselves out quickly, but as we see right there, things can go horribly awry. we are joined by psychology professor, dr. charles williams. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> you know, i'm looking at this and i'm thinking, that's about as dumb as anything i've seen in a while. why are they doing it? >> you know, when you live in an era today where kids, too many kids will do almost anything to get attention, to get hits, clicks, views, likes on social media apps. now that includes setting themselves on fire. i can't believe i'm talking about this on national tv. seems like a cruel joke, but it's real and we have to talk about it so that parents can know what the signs are in terms of maybe their kid going out and
getting nail polish remover and then being able to talk to them about the possible dangers of not only this social media game, but other social media games we've talked about in the past. social media has become a very dangerous place for kids. >> sure. you're right. it's all about the number of clicks because i've got kids in their teens and 20s as well and they talk about hey, dad. look at this thing. it's gone viral. i'll look at it and sometimes it makes sense. but other times stuff like this. i'll be thinking, what is going through their head? doctor, we have talked on this program before about depraved kids who get bored and they went out and killed somebody because they had nothing else to do. is this another instance like that? >> well, it's similar in that like i believe that was the slender man, that whole debauchle which led to a young woman being maliciously attacked and killed and they decided to do that because they wanted to, i don't know, please slenderman,
the social media creation. i think what is similar is that again, to be liked, to get attention, to have followers, to feel as though you're part of something, to feel as though you feel in, young people will do some very malicious and heinous things, from the knockout games, flash mobs and now setting themselves on fire. so we have to be very aware of these dangerous trends and more importantly, parents have to be aware because can you imagine getting a phone call saying that one of your daughters, god forbid, participated in such a game like this? so we really have to talk about the dangers of social media now. the irony that social media was created for people to be more social, to engage in positive social behavior, to be connected, and now we have them engaging in these very dangerous acts. >> okay. so your advice is for parents to monitor their kids' social media. what does that mean? i know my kids have twitter and facebook and some other stuff i've never looked at before. i know they have it. but i'm not looking at it.
>> there you go. that's it, steve. you're not looking at it. as parent, i'm not lecturing but. but it's your responsibility to look at these things. back in the day we had the corner of the block. we had the mall, we had playgrounds. now we have twitter. we have facebook. we have vine. we have instagram. these are places in spaces where teens r they congregate and gauge in social behavior and sometimes that social behavior is dangerous and the reason why so many dangerous things are happening now in social media, it's my opinion because parents and adults aren't involved. we don't look. we look away. we say that's the private space. but bad things can happen in these private spaces. so parents have to be aware. they have to educate themselves about these dangerous trends and you have to monitor. there is software to monitor your kids on line behavior. >> and if people would like to know about that, just google it. dr. williams joining us from philly, thank you very much. talk being this. >> thank you.
>> thank you, sir. 20 minutes after the the hour. first it was our bank accounts. then high-tech cars. now a new warning that even passenger jets can get hacked. then meet the brand-new miss new teen usa. the message she has for every young girl, caylee graham walking into our studio right now. good morning to you. and welcome to "fox & friends"! >> thank you. ♪ ♪ (vo) get ready! fancy feast broths. they're irresistabowl... completely unbelievabowl... totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she's been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies,

file, we still have some evidence to enter into the record, it's going to keep dragging on a little bit more. it could be three months, but it could be a little more. >> okay. luckily we got peter johnson, jr. here, an attorney. how can this take three months more? >> because it's not the american system of justice. it's the mexican system of justice and it appears to me, based on what i've read, they're slow walking this a little bit. he's got a strong attorney, it appears. he's trying to check out the due process issues. was he given a translator? was the arrest processed properly? was there writings on the documents that didn't belong there? so he's trying, in terms of technicalities, to get this thing thrown out. but the issue becomes for a lot of americans, why can't the president pick up the phone and resolve this thing outside of the criminal justice system, especially when i understand that mexico has actually changed
the sign where our poor fellow took the wrong turn. it's been changed to make it clear. >> because apparently the day he went through, it was on the ground and you couldn't actually see it. some of the things his lawyer said was apparently he said that the arrest form was blank when mr. tahmoreesi was stopped, it was blank, and the mexican officers just filled it out right there, which seems a little odd. they also said, the attorney did, that apparently 11 pages were missing from the record. and the border patrol appeared to have been coached. >> they need a diplomatic resolution. that's the president. >> absolutely. come on, we've had the family on the show, his mother, saying remember this 911 call? it pretty much proved that he got lost. he didn't come here nefariously. he called 911 and said can you help me? she said, you've crossed the border, son. i'm sorry, there is nothing i can do for you.
but mom says it proved it. come on. >> crazy story. >> come on, mr. president. >> it doesn't look like he's out 'til november at the earliest. in the meantime, we got more news. heather? >> a lot of folks are nervous about flying these days. here is another issue to think b. passenger jets could be at risk for a cyber attack. researcher figured out how to hack into satellite communication systems. so this basically means a hacker could use a plane's on board wi-fi signal to interfere with navigation systems that rely on those satellite transmissions. frightening to think about. caught on camera, a woman at the beach nearly crushed by an out of control jet ski in the bahamas. look at this. >> oh, my god. is she okay?

temperatures are going to be climbing across parts of the east coast. you'll make it into the upper 80s in new york city, raleigh, north carolina, and you're in the 90s from atlanta to the plains. it's going to be another hot one across parts of arizona. but parts of southern californi. 80 degrees in l.a., areas of heavy rain forecast in the northern plains. now let's head over to peter. a new report shows small cars may not do well in some crash tests. so what are some of your best options at the dealership?

than a simpler leaf spring suspension like you see in a traditional truck. what that does is help handling and also helps the ride. >> wow. absolutely, this is a v. 8 and eight speeds? >> this one here is a diesel version, so this is the one that's right for towing and also excels for fuel economy. >> these are really interesting cars. i know steve is looking for one today. so maybe he'll be looking at one of these today. jeff bartlet from "consumer reports," good to see you aislings. >> good to see you. >> anna, what do you have to say? >> you're right. i am looking for a car for one of my college-age girls. >> yes. >> but i want a pick up truck. 19 minutes now before the top of the hour. coming up, how would your child react to finding a gun and their parents aren't around at the time? our hidden cameras capture what happens when kids encounter a gun while playing. see how differently the boys and

psychologist helped us with our observation and she joins us now. good morning. >> hi. thanks for having me. >> so were you surprised by what you saw? >> i was shocked. it was completely counter intuitive. i expected younger children to be exploring the guns and i found out that -- i'll let you see what happened. >> let's look at the first video we've got. a couple of brothers. one five, the other seven years old. given some instruction on what to do and not to do. here is the video. >> i have a question, what did you think about this gun? do you think it's a real gun or toy gun? >> real gun. >> you think it's a real gun? would you want to touch it? >> no. >> how come? i'm glad you don't want to, but how come you don't want to touch the gun? >> because -- whoa! >> did your mom teach you? did your dad teacher or school? how did you learn?
>> my dad. >> mom and dad taught you. >> okay. what's going on there? >> that was very interesting. that was our first group. five and seven-year-old boy. they had been taught not to touch guns. he actually told me that he would not trust me, that he did not know for sure if it was real or not and he was not going to touch it. and the five-year-old was not at all interested. it was really surprising. i would have expected younger children to want to know what that gun was all about. >> sure. >> then the next scenario we have are a couple girls and they actually find the gun in the room. let's watch this play out. >> what is this? >> what is it -- a gun! how do you use it? >> i don't know. >> oh, oh. >> what? >> put this down. i don't really know if it's
safe. >> put it away. don't touch it. >> that was really fascinating because i guess there was a little sexist, i did not expect the girls to be interested in the guns and they were the most interested in the guns. >> why is that? >> they had gun safety from their parents. they had been taught on a daily basis not to touch guns. so it was really surprising that they not only touched it, the older child really pointed it, pointed it at herself, really would have done something, possibly dangerous. and i think that was because -- she became familiar with the gun and therefore, she didn't expect the risk, like she thought she was more in control. but she did protect her younger sister as she said, let me feel it. she went like this and said no, no. this might be dangerous. >> let's look at the third one. this is a brother and sister and they're joined later by a group of siblings. let's see what happened and you determine really what was going
on. >> you can look around and i can see if there are any other toys. okay? >> i already checked this out. >> i checked that gun out. >> this is a toy gun. >> that's a dangerous toy. i'll get something else. i'll be right back. >> there was some fascinating things here. the kids, i had told them this is dangerous, don't play with guns. i put it back down. the minute i left, they started playing with the guns. i came back in and said were you playing with the gun? oh, no. i left gun, they picked up the gun, pointing it at everybody. >> interesting stuff. the key is you have to talk to your kids about it. we thank you very much.

hello. good morning. today is tuesday, 5th of august, 2014. aim anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. o of course news alert. today another american infected with ebola arrives back in the united states. this as doctors test a man in new york city for the deadly virus. and talk about wide open borders, look at this. >> how you doing? how many people on board? >> me. >> u.s. citizen? >> yeah, does it really matter? >> not anymore. unfortunately. thank you. >> not anymore unfortunately. thank you. up next, the trucker who took that video says this happens all the time.
he's here live. >> and then this man is being mauled by a bear, but just when it was about to get worse, justin bieber came to the rescue? mornings are better with friends. biebs will tell you that. >> this is rickey skaggs. >> your watching "fox & friends." >> leave it to bieber to help that guy. >> excellent, steve. >> look who is here today. we got brian gone, peter in for him. elisabeth is out and anna joins us. >> good morning. >> we've had a busy day. >> we have been talking for the last couple of weeks about the invasion on our southern border. and last week it was pretty clear that the president intends to amnetize 5000000 people in this country illegally. what they're essentially doing is saying look -- this is their
argument, although it's not true -- congress did not change the law, so the president is going to do it for them. that's not actually how things work in this country, but that, peter johnson, jr., i can see you're chomping at the bit. because that is not how things work. >> that's not how things work. but the white house press secretary, josh earnest, head to head with our chief white house correspondent, ed henry said, we were too busy back in 2009 to get that done. too busy! >> nancy pelosi and harry reid were hundred -- running the house and senate. the president vowed by the end of my first year in office, we'll pass comprehensive immigration law. they failed to act for two years. why didn't he do anything then? >> the first thing is that at the time, you'll recall in 2009 there were many things on the president's plate. israel, gaza, syria, the economy. he has a lot going on now, right? >> he does.
but the crisis that we faced in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs, that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity, but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the white house, senate and white house, 2009 and 2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration problems then? >> my point is that there are a lot of other crises that the president was focused on at that point. >> if you remember back during that period of time, they were working on a really big deal. remember this? >> ten americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barak obama. >> so back then -- josh earnest says look, we couldn't pass it when we controlled both houses and the white house back then 'cause we were too busy doing
that big [ bleep ] deal right there. how did that big [ bleep ] turn out? well, a lot of people would say it's a big [ bleep ] mess. >> they're talking about obamacare there, that they were spending their time, energy and efforts working on -- and not work on immigration reform when they did have the house, senate and the white house and they could have done something about it. >> there were no immigration bills pending at that point? no. >> even though the president has no legal authority, it looks like he is going to amnetize up to 5 million. and the border crisis may not be a new issue, but the broken spirit of our border agents is a growing one. watch this video that was taken by a guy on his i camera where he's driving a truck through one of the border patrol stops down in texas. he has an exchange with the border patrol agent who seems to be just as frustrated as all of us are.
>> how you doing? how many people on board? >> me. >> u.s. citizen? >> yeah, but does it really matter? >> not anymore, unfortunately. thank you. >> you, too. >> not anymore. >> joining us now over the phone, exclusive interview with the trucker who took that video, travis pope. you just pulled over, right? >> yes. >> travis, you say you see this all the time. you have these conversations with these borrowed patrol agents, who you like and who you trust, and this is the response that they give very often. >> yes. i travel the border states all the time. i ask that question of every one of them and that's what they give me. >> what made you decide to put these glasses on. something that you're fed up with watching these illegal immigrants flood through our borders with open doors? >> yes. i wear my glasses all the time. just this morning the sun was in my eyes and i just put them on and i turned them on. i always turn them on when i go
through the checkpoint just in case get pulled in or anything. >> so we understand, was it a set of icam glasses? >> yes. icam glasses. i got it at cabell a's. >> you pull up here. tell us where this is and what was going on at the time. >> it's there in sierra blanca, texas on interstate 10. i see and hear all the stuff all the time about the border, the immigrants coming across and our government isn't doing anything about it. they've tied their hands since janet napolitano was there giving the catch and release order, i've even asked about that. they said yeah, that's basically all it is. we catch them and release them. >> sure. travis, this is not the international crossing into mexico. is this an interior checkpoint
at sierra blanca, texas? >> yes. that's correct. we call them border checkpoints. >> so there is a checkpoint before you get to the border? >> no, it's not that type of checkpoint. >> travis, you also indicated that you believe the agent that's on this video and others that you met are true american heros, but they shouldn't be tied down changing diapers and doing the like. what do you mean by that? >> well, their job is to catch the people coming across the border, detain them and then we're supposed to deport them back. but our government isn't following the rules on the books. we don't have a border problem. we have a government problem. they won't enforce the laws that we have. >> travis, in your opinion, do you feel like these border patrol agents actually really deserve respect from everybody -- people are thinking they're not doing their job. well, they're trying to do their job, but they're taxed, with they not? >> yes. that's all they're trying to do is do their job.
but they're given orders from up above from the white house, administration not to do things. and they can't do it. and so they're basically reduced to just asking if we have -- if we're u.s. citizens and letting us go. they can't do nothing. >> i guess it's the honor system when they ask you. that agent right there, it does seem in his answer, he's just frustrated with the situation like the rest of us. >> yeah. he's an american. all of them down there are just as frustrated as all of us. same question i ask at all of them. they all say the same thing. they're just all fed up that they can't do their job. >> travis pope, we're going to let you get back on the road and do your job there driving your truck. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> travis, by the way, what are you hauling today? >> i don't know. >> just something in the back.
>> yeah. >> thanks a lot. one regular american speaking truth to power. >> there you go. >> heather nauert now waiting in the wings for a look at what else is making headlines. >> good morning. i've got news from overseas and from israel this morning. the cease fire taking effect earlier this morning and over the next three days. delegations from israel and hamas will meet in cairo to try to work out some sort of a long-term truce. this as israeli ground troops have pulled out of gaza. their mission of destroying 32 hamas tunnels is now complete. sean hannity on the show earlier saying that there could be a lot more tunnels than that. he got an inside look at some of those tunnels and here is what he told us earlier. >> but if you look at the top of the tunnel, you have prepared literally formed pieces of cement. the walls were reinforced, concrete cement. they had tracks literally on the bottom so that they can bring the materials in and obviously
as they're digging, they can bring the ground out. >> since the fighting began almost a month ago, nearly 1900 palestinians have died. that's according to palestinian aids groups and 67 israelis have been killed. a desperate search is underway in washington state for a missing six-year-old girl. she was last seen on saturday when she went to bed. her parents didn't report her missing until a day later when she didn't show up for dinner. they say that she often roams the neighborhood completely on her own. >> she went to bed, was asleep. wake up. she probably out running and playing. >> both parents have taken lie detector tests and allowed police to search their home. child protective services removed two of their other children. it's unclear at this point why. but we will keep watching that story for you. a mississippi law maker trying to use divine intervention to try to start the
deadlocked congress. republican congressman just delivered all 535 members in the house and senate with a bible, along with this letter, saying, quote, on a daily basis, we contemplate policy decisions that impact america's future, recommendations help us make informed decisions. however, i find the best advice comes through meditating on god's word. and do you remember that justin bieber song "baby" that came out four years ago? if you're like a lot of us, you probably found it a little unbearable. ♪ baby, baby, baby oh, baby ♪ baby, baby, baby, oh, >> here is the song it's unbearable. a russian fisherman saying the pop star saved his life. that guy was being attacked by a bear when his phone went off.
the ring tone on his phone was that song "baby." the man says the bear got scared and then ran away. and who can blame him? a big burly russian. >> his walls are plastered with posters. >> it reminds me of my father-in-law. he has a cabin in the woods. when we walk around the cabin, we have to blow a whistle to keep the bears away. going to use the bieber song from now on. >> what's his ring tone? >> thank you. things are ratcheting up across the globe. shaky cease fires in the middle east. after a month of fighting in gaza, other conflicts include a clashes between the ukraine and russia, growing threat of isis, and there is also renewed fighting in afghanistan. now amid all the chaos, there is some sobering news for our u.s.
forces. >> get this, while all that is going on, 550 army majors are being pink slipped while some of them are still deployed in a war zone. our next guest says cutting our most experienced troops is leaving our country very vulnerable at a precarious time. >> pete hegseth is the ceo for concerned veterans for america and a veteran of the iraq and afghanistan wars. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> these pink slips coming after another slash of 1200 captains and getting these pink slips while they're serving. is this the best time to be doing this at all? this world seems to be getting more dangerous? >> the world is getting more dangerous. the last thing a major needs is a pink slip saying within 30 days of this date, you have to be home and out of the military. think about majors. they've been in for ten to 15 years. that is the longevity of the conflict we've been in since 9-11. these are your most experienced officers. they've been platoon leaders and company commanders. they've seen the enemy firsthand on the battlefield.
they're going to be our future leaders. because we're right sizing the force, because the president wants to chop our military in order to maintain a smaller force, you got to cut majors and so the army is doing what it has to do in a tighter budget environment. >> and there is always going to be pink slips that come at certain times. it's just the way the military works. but to have so many at such kind of a scary time, given the fact that there are people all around the world who want to kill us and we're essentially going to have a brain drain. >> absolutely. and what we're creating is what i would call high risk force. are we still going to be the most powerful military in the world? yes. most technologically advanced? yes. can you scale up quickly again? you can't just recreate another major or another lieutenant colonel. the cuts we're making now will be saddled on the backs of future commanders in chief who will face future threats in a world that's getting more dangerous without 550 majors and
1200 captains. >> let's talk about the threats. we're talk being multiple threats in a complex world. we announced to the world that we can't handle multiple threats. we can't handle multiple theaters of war. >> that's right. >> so now are we trying to bring our forces down to a preworld war ii level? is that accurate? i've heard that description. >> yeah. we'll have the smallest land force, combat force since world war ii in our military. our combat air force will be the smallest it's been ever and less technologically advanced as far as the time frame. we are creating a force that reflects budget cuts, not strategy and not threats. this administration passed a review that said we can no longer fight two at the same time. it's fight one -- >> we announced that to the world. we wonder why vladimir putin does what he does. they read that and they calculate it. >> emboldening our adversary. >> and leaving our allies out there to dry.
you've seen netanyahu making calculations today based on america, he can't count on. >> what do you think this will do to morale for people serving now and also for little johnny who might want to grow up and be a soldier one day and then see this? >> let's say that gavin walked out with a pink slip for you right now and said just continue the rest of the show. that's necktively what you're telling these majors. here is a pink slip, but we want you to finish this time and then good luck finding a job. the military is not a jobs program. there is places where we can be more efficient in the way we spend. but to do this this way in the time of war sends a signal to the individual and the enemy that we're not serious about those threats. >> i know you never like to talk to the pentagon and tell them what they should be doing. but do you have a better idea on how to save some money, which they've got to do because we've got to take the money that we've got at the pentagon and put it in other programs. what would do you instead? >> you can start with processes like acquisitions reform. the way we procure new weapon systems, new missile, new
planes. we spend billions more than we should. it takes years longer than we should because it's a process that was started under the eisenhower adds managers and has -- administration and has never been reformed. our group is going to try to help them actually achieve this so that we cut the fat to keep the muscle. you keep the major, you lose the waste. it's not just waste. it's processes. there is things that need to be remind. the money is there to be found if you need to. but right now we're doing it arbitrarily. we're chopping people, personnel, which is the quickest, easiest way, but not the smartest way. >> change the system. >> that's right. >> captain pete hegseth reporting for duty on the curvy couch. >> thank you so much. fox news alert to tell you about. ebola scare in new york city. another infected american arrives back in georgia. we are live where the plane is about to land. and you know her from a little show called "bay watch." but she has a new game now. actress and host of the game show "the chase," brook burns is testing our trivia skills.

27-year-old woman, a mother of two, was pulled over during a routine traffic stop in atlantic city. she told the cops that she had a hand gun in her car and then showed them her concealed carry permit, which is from the state of pennsylvania. remember, she was now in the state of new jersey and the permit is not honored in new jersey. so she was arrested and here is what she told us about those charges. listen. >> i hope that they pardon me because i didn't know it could happen to anybody. >> she was a new gun owner and didn't know the law. if convicted, she faces up to three years in prison. she'll be before that judge at 1:30 eastern time today. caught on camera, a woman nearly crushed by an out of control jet ski in the bahamas. look at this. >> oh, my -- oh, my god. is she okay? >> we hear about these near misses all the time. this one, she is so lucky with just seconds to spare, she gets off the jet ski and out of the
way. you can see a guy and the girl on the other jet ski as they fly through the air after the crash. amazingly, everyone walked away okay. glad to hear that. he was the director of one of the nationest most popular marching bands. we all know this one. ♪ ♪ >> that is ohio state and the university's band director speaking out for the first time since he was fired over allegations that he knew about but failed to stop what was called a sexualized culture of rituals inside that band. among the findings of a two-month investigation, students marching in their underwear, written quizzes for new members. he says his dismissal was based on a, quote, very flawed report and he now wants a second chance. >> the culture in our band is
entrenched. and because it's entrenched, it doesn't turn on a dime. i was aware and i took great steps to eliminate them. we had this report cite things that happened before my leadership of the band. i love ohio state and i would love an opportunity to work with the university to improve the culture. >> ohio state loved its band. waters became director in 2012. army sergeant chris melendez lost his leg in iraq when he was just 19 years old. that did not stop him from fulfilling one of his life long dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. he makes his debut tonight. he stopped by here earlier and talked about achieving this incredible goal. >> the key i think helped me a lot as i said before, is my training in the military, just having that military mentality and you can't feel sorry for yourself. that's the key. you can't get down on yourself. >> his first big match airs on september 11. congratulations to him.
what an inspiration he is for so many of our wound warriors. >> that's cool. >> anna talked to him earlier. >> tonight is when he's actually going to be having his first match. then it will air on september 11. so obviously the significance is pretty important for him. >> absolutely. heather, thank you very much. we've got kind of a troubling story when you actually think about the top lawman in the united states of america is our attorney general, right? well, it turns out eric holder, our attorney general, revealed to juan woman's something very, very -- williams something very, very troubling. he's not just a referee trying to interpret the law, peter johnson, jr. he is an activist. >> he says he's an activist. here is what he said to juan williams. if you want to call me an activist attorney general, i will proudly accept that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things and bring us closer to ideals expressed in our founding
documents, to change things. i thought it was to enforce the law and to prosecute people who do wrong and engage in civil litigation as well? judge andrew napolitano was here earlier this morning and he really articulately and eloquently talked about the role of the attorney general and eric holder. >> to look at the law, to look at human behavior, decide whether it's legal or not, decide whether there is evidence or not to prosecute independent of the ideological wishes of the president. that's the reason to have an attorney general. we connote activists with someone who injects their own ideology and uses that as a guidepost in exercising the official power of the government. that's not what we want. >> also asked if eric holder would be unhappy looking back, if it was a good idea to use the word activist when being interviewed and he said yeah, i think he's probably going to wish he had never said that. but in the piece it seems he
thinks activist is a badge of honor. he's also been called president obama's heat shield, talk being things that the president can't easily talk about. >> we've got an activist president. why wouldn't we have an activist attorney general? >> activist usually connotes something political, someone involved in a political way trying to change things. he indicated he's trying to change things as an attorney general. what do you think? is that the role of an attorney general? enforce the law or to activate some sea change perhaps of a political nature? >> all right. it's 20 minutes before the top of the hour. we have dispatched our own maria molina out to the streets, 48th and ofth avenue. she joins us live with i think weather and a frizz quiz? >> yeah, that's right. let's get get to the weather forecast. i want to talk about bertha. yesterday this storm was upgrade to do a hurricane. now just a tropical storm, maximum sustained winds at 65 miles per hour. it is forecast to remain away from the east coast of the united states. of course, this is great news. temperature wise, highs in the
90s across the plains and to the southeast. upper 80s in new york city. so we are on that warming trend. as far as rain goes, we do expect heavy rain across parts of the northern plains. several inches expected out there. and some showers and storms as well across parts of south florida. now i want to switch gears a little bit. did you know that august is national anti-frizz month? that's according to vo 5 and year after year, i've been suffering with frizzy hair and one example was on hair. i was with you on this assignment at the big daddy golf classic. it was 95% humidity that day. we started out the day just fine. by the end of it, your hair was fine, but mine was not. this is a before and after. you can see there on your screen. yeah. so they gave me this poll. they gave me all these products because they felt bad and we learned how to combat my frizzy hair and make everything a lot better. >> thank goodness. >> actually. >> you look awful in that picture, maria. >> one here in my pocket.
don't leave here without it. they told me that 75% of women that they polled do look at the weather forecast to determine how frizzy their hair could potentially be. i went ahead and made your frizz cast and across parts of the southeast is going to be higher humidity. so there is a higher chance for some frizz. that's going to be the story as well across portions of the plains. >> this is your frizz quiz? >> no. that's supposed to be a map. it's a full screen. so you can see where there is going to be higher humidity in the southeast and across the plains. now for your frizz quiz. there you go. there is your frizz cast. now let's go ahead and hit those three questions that we want to ask you. these are true or false. here is the first one, how drying your hair can help tame frizz? is that true or false? >> absolutely true. >> it's false. peter, it's false. >> it's false. >> if you towel dry it too much,
then you start to create some frizz. >> what about a blow drier? can it burn my hair? >> you got to be careful, peter. the second question is, brushing your hair can lead it breakage and frizz? is that true or is that false? >> that's true, especially if you have hair spray. >> anna, you are right. it's true. >> it happens. the higher the hair, the closer to god. >> i find hot oil treatment is my best friend. >> peter johnson, jr., all right. thank you very much. maria, thank you very much for the frizz quiz. meanwhile, fox news alert. fighter jets have just been scrambled to escort a passenger plane into manchester airport near london. officials say the pilot radioed about a possible device on board the jet liner. this is a picture of the plane before it landed. right now the plane is on the ground and police are responding
to the scene. we don't know where the plane was coming from yet. but some reports say it came from the middle east. we're working on getting those details and we will bring you more right after our brief timeout. >> we know there are increased alerts at the european airports in terms of these newer devices that are not susceptible to being picked up on conventional devices. >> today is an election day. coming up, four states heading to the polls. a look at the hot races and what they mean for the balance of power in washington. a live report straight ahead. and apparently this kid interviewed on local news is going viral on the super net. he says apparently, apparently, apparently. it's easy to see why. >> they're blowing, i've never been on live television before, but apparently sometimes i don't watch the news because i'm a kid

good morning. fox news alert. fighter jets just scrambled to escort a passenger plane into manchester airport near london. officials saying the pilot radioed about a possible device on board. this is a picture of the plane before it landed. >> we don't know where the flight originated from, but some reports say it came somewhere from the middle east. >> let's listen to our partners in the u.k. right now, sky news. >> should there be a problem with the aircraft and its electronic flight control system navigation system, for example, then the typhoons could literally bring the aircraft into the runway. that didn't need to happen in this case as far as we can see, the aircraft is now down on the ground and that a disbursal at manchester, designed to be able to take these airplanes, emergency services from not just
the airport, but from the surrounding area. all of those people will be there. it's a well-practiced plan which is used so occasionally, perhaps once a year somewhere in the united kingdom. >> now that the plane is on the ground, is the job done? will they go back? >> yes. the royal air force have done their bit. the first line of defense. the primary role of the royal air force is the air defenses of the united kingdom. and so they have fulfilled that part of the bargain. it's now over to -- depends how far up the chain this has gone, but this is now a police matter once aircraft is on the ground. probably in the hands of the ctu, counter terrorist unit, which will be involved in man chester and if necessary, there are army units in the explosive ordinance disposal which could be called in.
and the royal air force has its own bomb disposal team as well. if it's an aviation related matter. it's all about judging who was the best responder to this, who can deliver the best and the quickest solution to bringing the situation back to normal. >> the latest beyond our getting it from manchester is flights in and out of the airport are being diverted. we had one eyewitness said that he could see no planes coming in or out of manchester airport while this operation was underway. that seems to be a concern that flights are being diverted and other flights will be using the airports. the plane at the end of the runway. at the airport itself, the third largest airport in the country, it's been evacuated there to ensure the safety of those at the airport who are waiting for their flights. joining us in studio, sam kyle
kylely. this flight came from qatar. you were saying security would have been very tight, wouldn't it, on one of these planes? >> yeah. it would be. the flights out of the middle east are very, very tight because of the history of hijacking out of the middle east, which has not been repeated too often. there is an attempt in the more recent past has been to smuggle bombs in underpants, shoes, precisely because it has been so effective. none the less, there are also, of course, all kinds of political tensions at work. we've seen people trying to seek asylum by hijacking aircraft in the past. in other words, with no real intent to blow them up, but simply to get out of the country they're in at that time. this took off in dohar, there is certainly fairly authoritarian structure. there aren't enough qataris to
generate very much an opposition. it's a wealthy country in any case. those areas are much less problematic. i think it's likely that this -- once an incident like this goes on, something gets reported, perhaps a member of the crew reports to the pilot, the expert was saying you then go into a protocol. it doesn't end until it ends. you don't suddenly halfway through say oh, no, we've changed our mind. we didn't think it was suspicious after all. if you hit that red button, that goes right through to the point at which the very least, the passengers are evacuated. >> but the pilots and the crew also have training to know that they don't hit that red button until they have a really strong suspicion. >> they can't afford to be jumpy, but also can't afford to be complacent. >> we are watching sky news, our sister network over in the united kingdom now because manchester airport is on full
alert. just a little while ago, at least one royal air force typhoon escorted in apparently a qatari airways plane. the pilot had radioed that there was a possible suspicious device on board and therefore, the escort plane was called. currently no takeoffs or landings at manchester airport. they are on full alert. there you can see the typhoon escorting the qatari jet liner into manchester. let's listen in some more to sky news to figure out what's going on over there. >> since you became aware of the plane being escorted in, you first said -- we're trying to get these pictures to you and 46 minutes ago seeing they're being escorted. he then also tweeted saying okay, i'm not worried and continued to tweet. he did say that emergency services were on the runway and as they were due to land, he seems completely unaware of what
was actually happening. he says that we've landed, but not entire leisure what is happening. his most recent update suggested that there are emergency services around the plane and that the royal police are outside the plane. so it does seem as we suggested, the plane has most certain leelanded and that there are certainly police and what looks like from this picture fire engines, which have surrounded the plane we think at the end of the runway, so away from the terminal buildings, and josh hartley, the passenger board suggesting there were armed police outside. he's also tweeted a picture of what looks like passengers walking around inside. so we're not entire leisure what's happening inside that plane, about it seems that there is a response from the different agencies on the runway. >> it does also -- if this is a genuine photo cam, it does seem to also confirm that flight has come from dohar.
>> indeed it does. before he took off. in fact, he's responding to people on social media to say that's where it came from. but it doesn't seem like there is necessarily panic on board. but it also doesn't seem like they were informed necessarily of what was happening. it seems that they spotted this typhoon jet outside the plane. he seemed to have turned on his phone and tweeted it. but from this most recent picture, passengers seem to be walking around inside. >> as you're talking to us, these are the shots that we have taken from josh hartley's twitter account. you can see that from the air bus window. you can see the typhoon there and the countryside surrounding manchester in the background. we also have some shots of inside the plane. i don't know if we'll be able to bring you those as well. we can also see the emergency services on the runway. we can see police and fire and a large number of fire engines.
we'll try and bring you those as soon as we can. let's bring in -- >> just to say he's just tweeted again. the passengers are still on the plane and there does seem to be several more police cars around the plane. though the plane itself doesn't seem terribly far away from other aircraft, certainly -- >> darren, what do we know about what's actually happening at the airport? >> as far as we know, the airport has in effect been effectively evacuated to a degree. we know the viewing platform, that glass platform where you see aircraft take off, people have been moved away because of what police say is they're trying to protect the security and they say people should not be alarmed. of course, the major focus has been on flights. if you look at departures and arrivals board, almost every
plane has been delayed. most planes are now being diverted to lees bradford airport because of this incident. we've now got moving footage of that plane about to land. the airport itself and as i said, we don't think it's been wholey evacuated, but in some sense of emergency planning situation that we always have in place for such situations. we know that police, services and armed police are on the airfield around the airplane at this time trying to deal with what they say is a comprehensive portion safety measure. what also seems clear is that the passengers on board have not left the plane itself. they seem to still be on board and to a degree, wholey unaware of what's happening apart from probably turning on their mobile phones and following what we're talk being and what other people on social media are talking about. >> we have seen some images from the passengers aboard these aircraft showing the emergency
services on the runway. i saw one of them from a young man saying that armed police were outside the cabin. >> yeah, indeed. we know that -- as i said, this man seems to have turned on his phone when he spotted these typhoons outside the plane and have said there are armed police outside the aircraft. certainly looking at another picture, he's just tweeted, we can see police vehicles on the runway next to the plane. the plane itself doesn't seem to be near a building from the angle that it's been shot at. but it seems near to other aircraft. it seems this tweet was sent five minutes ago. passengers themselves still seem to be on board. as i say, certainly on the approach in we're certain -- were unaware of what was happening. >> let's bring in chris yates who we often call on in
circumstances sufficient as this. of course, particularly with security. hello to you, chris. limited information at this stage. what are you making of what you've seen so far? >> limbed information indeed -- limbed informations a qatari je. the information coming in to me appears to be that the jet passed some information which seems to activate all of these measures going on at the moment. the jets guiding the aircraft in. the hold of the aircraft on the runway until such time as it can be cleared for an approach either to terminal building or literally left on the runway for a period of time. the emergency services now will be clearing off the aircraft,
well, valley clearing off the aircraft from passengers. it's likely that as that is taken up to the aircraft to bring people down and those people will be obviously interrogated, questioned very carefully as indeed that process goes on. >> stand by if you would. i want to bring in alister rosenshine, has friend of the program, a former pilot. hello to you. so talk us through the protocol. what happens in circumstances such as this, presumably one of the cabin crew will make the pilot aware that there is some incident and then what happens? >> hello, yes. the flight crew, either by cabin crew or air traffic control, depending on how the device, if there is such a thing, has been found or located on the aircraft, and the protocol would be to make air traffic control aware and to -- >> this has been extraordinary.
the pilot radioed. they found perhaps a device on board that qatari airways and this morning we've actually seen through social media pictures from inside the plane. we're going to be covering this story right now on "america's newsroom". bill: thank you, guys. breaking news. we are tracking it as best we can from new york. i'm bill hemmer. one royal air force typhoon jet escorting a flight back to plan chester or toward manchester airport northwest of london. the pilot radioed in there was a suspicious device on board. it seems to be a qatari airlines plane. there were reports it originated in doha. we can't confirm that. manchester is executing what has been practices and

homes and apartments in dallas denied them. they didn't want to house them for fear of ebola spreading. his mattress and towels were all put in sealed be destroyed and they are monitoring 50 people who may have had contact with them and checking their temperatures and no one is showing symptoms of ebola. >> he was exposed to his daughter who has children. their children went to school. >> and that's right. that is part of the fear as well as those four people sent to the private residence. one with a 13-year-old and children are involved and they are of the nine critical cases. 46 are monitored and nine critical cases that are confirmed contacts with duncan. and now, what kind of contact did they have?

handle this crisis. every ebola utbreak over 40 years has been stopped. we know how to do this and we will do it again. confident that this epidemic will be stopped. p>> there may be as many as 400 u.s. troops in west africa building hospitals and handing out splois and beef up the anti- ebola infrastructure there. >> is there any talk about closing the border and prevent sick people from coming to this country? >> reporter: there is not talk about that. and the reason is, officials think that slow down the spread of ebola, american experts need pto be able to travel freely an about west africa they are relying on the cvc and world
health organization to make a call p!out that. and we heard from the cvc. >> we might wish to seal ourselves off from the world. americans have the righá of return and many other people who have the right to enter into áhe country and we'll not get to 0 risk, no matter what we do unless or until we control the outbreak in west africa and that's what we are working intensively to do. >> an nbc cameraman who tested positive for ebola on assignment in africa is expected to a ratify in nebraska medical for treatment on monday. >> and this just in from the new jersey department of health regarding the story we told you about here on fox report and the two people taken off of the daughter. according to university hospital in newark in coordination with

>> reporter: biden may be smarting from bob gates who claimed that the vice-president was wrong on every major foreign policy policy for years. panneta does give the president for fixing a broken economy and aggressive on terrorism. but back pedalling on syria on assad was a huge mistake and it was a blow to american credibility when the president draws a redline. it is kridiccal to act if the line is crossed the power of the united states rests on the word. by failing to respond it sent the wrong message to the world. but he said the president had more pressure to get a deal for maliki were backed up by ryan crocker. we could have gotten that

grimes has a real chance at unseating the top republican in the senate. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads senator mitch mcconnell 46 to 44%. a month ago, mcconnell was up by eight points in the nbc news maris poll. that's not the only race by the way where democrats are showing strength. so we're seeing this in a couple of other key places. north carolina, kay hagen, has a four-point lead on tom tillis. still pretty close, but still leading him. the race in kansas already starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts. he's down by 10% to independent greg orman. in colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge on cory gardiner. that's close to a tossup. gardiner was leading by as much
as eight points. and jeanne shaheen is now leading over scott brown by seven. and in iowa where joannie ernst was leading by six, she is tied with democratic bruce braley. i don't know. you think the president is such a hindrance as sort of the narrative has been, dorian. yet, we are seeing something, potentially happening here. if you believe these polls. >> right, you know, we haven't seen the clintons in action yet, by the way. >> well, we're going to talk about them. good point. >> so that'll make a difference. but this -- it's hard to disentangle is this an anti-incumbency wave or potential wave or is this something that the democrats are doing in terms of their campaign strategy that republicans aren't? >> grimes, that's particularly remarkable. it started to slip away and then you saw mcconnell get some distance.
so she's closed that gap now with a month left to go. as you say, that whole campaign for mitch mcconnell has been about pairing her with president obama. >> yeah. >> now, here she is tied. >> i find that to be extremely interesting to watch. in alaska, mark begich has been losing ground. and tom cotton has a slight edge. and louisiana senator mary landrieu is down by six points to republican bill cassidy. there we're seeing a fight there for senator landrieu's life. the comeback kid though, as you mentioned is looking to help democrats in his home state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for democratic senator mark pryor. and gubernatorial campaign mark ross his former driver. he urged them to reject the
republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. >> thank you. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races they're saying you may like these guys, but you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise your last shot. it's a pretty good scam, isn't it? i may wander and groan, but i may never be far from home. you're in my heart and you'll always be arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don't vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. vote for the legacy and you'll be happy a month from now. thank you and god bless you. >> boy, he's something isn't he? willie geist -- >> yes you are. >> could he be any happier? getting to -- >> please don't do the face
scratching. don't do it. >> and how about mitch mcconnell, huh? he's down. >> yes. i mentioned that at the top of the show when you walked away. [ laughter ] >> that was great. >> we were chatting about that. >> i was excited about your reaction and you left. you just left. i'm going to do that. let me try that. >> me too. >> why? i thought we looked good. >> because i didn't want to hear andy williams' holiday song in my ear. we were talking before the show as we were coordinating our sweaters -- >> yeah. >> if you look what's happening with mcconnell and we were out asking what were the polls going to look like after the beheadings? after barack obama went out golfing. after the beheading. specifically. and now we're starting to see, like a big turn around in kentucky. you look in north carolina, big turn around, republicans were sure a month ago this is a wave election. it may still be a wave election. you just don't see the evidence of it out there. in fact, democrats are doing so
much better now than they should be doing. and republicans now are going to lose kansas? >> what do you make of kentucky though? i don't see it as sort of related to isis. do you? i mean, is that what's happening here? >> well, -- >> this is -- >> all democrats were hurt a month ago by barack obama's seeming obliviousness to what was going on with isis and the jv comments and the golfing after. but i think you're starting to see the races go back to sort of their set point. and the set point is, let's just say it, a lot of kentucky people can't relate to mitch mcconnell. they may not agree with grimes on a lot of issues. >> she and other candidates have run a smart campaign, distancing themselves from the president,
right? so as the president -- as the former president bill clinton said in arkansas yesterday -- this is not a vote for barack obama. this is a vote for mark pryor or lundergren grimes. this should have republicans worried for 2016, by the way. because they have a lot more seats to defend in 2016. >> on clinton's comments, they were interesting too. as dorian points out, he said this is two more years of president obama. don't worry, it's only two more years, but these guys are applying for six-year jobs. >> right. >> don't make this about president obama. maybe if you want to read a few things into that, there could be somebody else -- >> he's very, very good. >> if you talked to any republican strategist six months ago, a year ago, listen, a month before the election -- >> to an independent candidate. >> and there won't be a democrat in the race, you're losing north carolina, you're going to -- in some polls you're going to be losing louisiana. arkansas is going to be split
down the middle. i can tell you as a republican we're screwed. >> iowa is tied. >> iowa is tied. by the way, i'm sorry, the democrat out in iowa is a clown. i mean, democrats say quietly that guy is a clown. he's ill-fit for candidacy. he goes to texas trial lawyers, hey, the last thing we want is somebody from iowa -- dumb farm base is what he's saying running committees. >> joannie ernst -- >> against the candidate? >> clearly, iowa voters are thinking something else now. >> i don't know. i think if you look at the trend, it's all decidedly against the republicans right now. there are exceptions but go to scott walker, a guy i like very much. who was, you know, the great hope for a lot of conservatives like myself, he may not even win this year. >> well, he's being investigated
for corruption scandal. >> go a state over to michigan, one tough nerd. you know, the governor of michigan. a year ago, everything looked great. now, he's on the run. this is -- and here's the thing. this is what republicans need to understand. i have been saying -- you have to stand for something. you just can't be against president obama and if the republicans can't win, and reince priebus will say this, if the republicans can't win in 2014 when everything is breaking their way, when they are fighting on -- in red states, then in '16 all the senate fights will be in blue states, plus the presidential race is going to be especially ugly. >> yeah. let me get one other headline in here. officials are confirming the first case of ebola to be contracted outside of west africa. a nurse in spain is in stable condition at a hospital this morning after testing positive
for the deadly virus. officials say she cared for two spanish priests who both died from ebola. meanwhile, the parents of freelance nbc cameraman ashoka mukpo said he's in good spirits after arriving in omaha for treatment. meanwhile, dr. nancy snyderman and her team arrived in the united states last night on a charter flight and were checked by a health official upon arrival. all are feeling well, in good health. they're deemed low risk, but will be staying home and monitoring their temperature for the remainder of the 21-day period recommended by health authorities. and in dallas, the man being treated for the ebola virus remains in critical condition. we have learned thomas eric duncan is being given an experimental drug that was approved by the fda. president obama says his administration is working on increased screening for ebola at airports here in the u.s. and overseas. it comes as a new pew research poll finds nearly 60% of americans have either a great or
fair amount of confidence the government could prevent an ebola outbreak in the united states. but there's a sharp divide among parties. 69% of democrats share that confidence. while 51% of republicans have little or no confidence in the u.s. government in terms of how it could stop an outbreak. i think screening is going to be difficult. i don't know how they'll do it, because it's not just about cutting off flights if they go a step further. flights coming in from all sorts of different countries and flights going back. >> willie, what do you make of the poll, the republicans -- >> they don't trust -- >> it looks like it's about president obama. it's just a blind referendum. it's kind of strange that that -- that became a political question. >> i think it's a lot of things. obamacare, irs. a lot of things that have kind of made us think -- >> i agree. i think democrats feel the same way about government. if you asked them how is george
w. bush handling the outbreak you'd see that flip. this is political. >> it's strange. >> about ebola? >> and i guess -- at the local level versus the federal level especially since president obama's been in office. so that's not unusual. it's just the broad trends. but it is strange around ebola. it's not an explicitly political question. >> and the bigger question of whether people are losing faith in institutions we talked about for some time. anyway, we have a big show today. did you see chris matthews is dropping by to say hello? >> i can't wait. i can't wait. you two be nice now. all right. still ahead this hour, why you may look like a member of the courts militia if you stop at h&m -- if you shop at h&m. have you ever shopped there? >> i was there yesterday for the sweater. >> the kids love it. i can't believe you changed in the middle of the show. and plus an update, the bubble man. he is safe on land.
but what about the bubble? you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. >> what's wrong with that? it's ok that your soup tastes like my homemade. it's our slow simmered vegetables and tender white meat chicken. apology accepted. i'm watching you soup people. make it progresso or make it yourself [ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you're pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that's alright. because we'll text you when your package is on the way. we're even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is...was... and always will be...you.

females who are currently fighting the islamic state in syria, but others say it is insensitive. what? h&m spokesman -- i know the designer was not thinking kurdish militia. come on. move it on. i'm not reading it, it's stupid. that's stupid. anyone who would argue with that has no life. >> and i read the delaware news journal every morning. >> then you already read this story. the police have arrested the mother of a 4-year-old after the kid showed up to her day care with a backpack full of heroin. >> what? >> not good. >> the little girl was caught handing -- oh, my gosh. handing out packages of drugs. >> no! >> to her classmates, thinking it was candy. the mother has been charged with endangering the health -- >> what? >> heroin? >> what do you send them to

we have a bunch to get to here. "the wall street journal," joe biden's apology tour. and this is what the paper says. mocking joe biden is a national sport, but today we come to defend him. the vice president spent the weekend apologizing to middle eastern strongman for his comments about syria, but he's apologizing to the wrong people for the wrong reason. they did arm extremists in syria. if mr. biden is feeling contrite he ought to apologize to the syrian and the american people. for three years the obama administration sat on its hands in syria as the moderate army was marginalized on the battlefield, isis and others moved in. >> dorian, what's your take, is that true? >> this is the 111th apology tour he's gone on. that's his trademark, speaking honestly in a field that it's
hard to do that. >> sure. >> in terms of the actual apology, i don't think he needs to do that. but the editorial is interesting because there's an issue to be raising, what's our relationship with the previous ally in terms of the rebel forces in syria? >> and why? i understand he has to be diplomatic, but why apologize to turkey? turkey should be apologizing to us. turkey, if they continue to act this way should be kicked out of nato. turkey should be called out for what they are. >> well, when is the president in turkey going to apologize to the united states for having isis on his doorstep? and he's quite close to having to call nato 911 to rescue the turkish border. >> that's right. >> all right, let me get two more on this while we're on it. this is -- i'll go to "the wall street journal" again actually because senators john mccain and lindsey graham penned a piece.
remove assad. how can we arm and train 5,000 syrians and expect them to succeed against islamic state without protecting them and their families? from the assad's air strikes and bombs or expect moderate groups to take advantage of u.s. air strikes if we do not coordinate or communicate our operations with them? this is reportedly not happening. instead, mr. assad is exploiting u.s. air strikes to kill the very people we want as our partners. this is not just a recipe for failure. it is immoral. >> willie, okay, how do we do it? how do we invade syria and take out assad? how do we -- how do we do that? >> well, we have swung in a year from saying we wanted to get rid of assad to now kind of supporting people who are helping assad. we are fighting the people he's fighting inside the country. >> what void is created? >> i don't think people are talking about this, how is the
assad regime responding to what? we have gone into his air space and launched military strikes in here. what's his reaction, is there any coordination, what's going on between us and him? >> so we have this -- >> right now, it's -- >> right. >> he's like, go ahead. again, for lindsey and senator mccain, i would ask, we go in, let's say we take him out. what does syria look like in a decade? i'd like them to answer the question. i'm sure maybe one of them will. like to answer the question. would the middle east be safer today with saddam hussein in power or out of power? at what point do we start judging characters in the middle east by one very simple question. do they want to kill people in the united states of america or do they want to be left alone in their open countries? it's that simple. saddam hussein did not have
plans to blow up america. >> no. >> al qaeda did. isis does. >> saddam was never coming here. >> yeah, i know there's talk about a possible, you know, possible assassination attempt against 41. you can ask the same question though about -- as horrible of a human being as he is, does assad want to blow up buildings in washington and new york? i mean, and if he doesn't, who is going to replace him? possibili possibly -- these are questions that we don't answer before firing. >> i want to read part of "the new york times" editorial on ebola because it points to one of the reasons why it's so complicated to just sort of deny access and sort of siphon off an area of the world. they write in part this, top health officials are strongly opposed with good reason to take the more extreme step of banning
all travel to the united states from guinea, liberia and sierra leone where the epidemic is concentrated as several prominent republicans like louisiana's governor bobby jindal have recommended. that could actually hamper the battle to contain the epidemic abroad. the first line of defense against the disease in part by leaving americans who are risking their lives to contain the epidemic stranded in africa, with no way to return home. if volunteer workers can't return home, they may elect not to go in the first place. that's weakening the fight against the epidemic. >> that's a silly argument. >> i don't think it is. >> that's a silly argument. >> you do not want to it to explode there. >> that's silly. >> why? >> because you go, do you have an american passport? thank you. this is a false choice. to say, well, we can't ban people coming from west africa. that aren't aid workers here. i'm not recommending we do it. i am saying we need to ask the question.
and that -- this is -- this is why there's not a real discussion on this, because dorian this is a false choice to say somehow we aren't advanced enough to see who has an american passport and we allow them to come back, versus somebody like the gentleman that came back to dallas? >> all right. but i'm going to defend that editorial, joe, because the premise is that the -- there's an incentive. there's a signal that i would send to potential people that would go over. your plan sounds just fine to me. yes, maybe we could carve it out so that only american aid workers could get back in. but to a lot of people they just hear we're banning all people coming from west africa. that creates an incentive for people not to want to do good and go over and help. >> i think the aid workers, all the aid agencies, would be sending people over there, mike, would again, they would know if they were able to come back. >> but there's a larger issue
here and it gets into what we were talking about earlier. it gets into turkey and syria and saudi arabia and qatar. it's us. the world needs -- looks to us, to the united states for everything. where are the other countries? every country in the world can be affected by the ebola virus. >> that's true. >> you can carry it -- ships. you can -- it can leave by sea. it can leave by air. now, if you're in liberia and you have even a scintilla of evidence that you or a member of your family have the ebola virus, where are you going to go? you're not going to want to stay in liberia. >> you'll want to go to the united states. >> you'll want to come to the united states of america. so the larger universe depends on us for so many things that we should start using our influence and say to other countries, come on, come on. >> and the international response has been so slow and so -- >> yes. >> just -- >> the world health organization it has been absolutely scandalous. i just -- this op-ed you're talking about, in "the new york
times" i'm not saying put a wall up and don't let anybody come over from west africa. i just want a better argument. that's not a strong argument at all. you can allow aid workers to go over and to come back. and i just -- i want to know what's the argument for having people from liberia and the other affected countries not coming to the united states. unless they pass a really rigorous screening process. because again -- >> working on new -- >> if i had a child that had ebola i would figure out how to get to the united states. >> i would lie on every form. >> uptick screening process. what are we going to have at airports? you can't have the tsa people like two or three tsa people instead of one tsa person. you need nurses and doctors at the airports. >> the real problem, you have to have them camp out for 21 days. >> right. >> so even the screening process seems to be a nonstarter in many

fulfilling the promise of equality. >> that was virginia's attorney general praising yesterday's decision by the supreme court. the justices declined to rule on challenges to lower court decisions that overturn same-sex marriage bans in indiana, oklahoma, utah, virginia and wisconsin. marriage equality now exists in 24 states, plus the district of columbia. and the supreme court's decision will soon bring the marriage equality to 30. still, the supreme court did not settle the issue for the country as a whole. so joining us now, executive director of the national center for lesbian rights, kate kendall. good to have you on board with us this morning. >> great to be here. >> so kate, i take it you agree with the virginia attorney general that this was a great day for proponents of same-sex marriage? >> oh, it's a sweeping day. it's a ground breaking moment. i think it's a moment last year with the windsor decision and the striking down of the defense of marriage act, we hit an
undeniable tipping point. i think yesterday is the undeniable no going back point. it's really extraordinary. >> well, isn't there -- wouldn't it have been extraordinary if the supreme court actually decided to take the cases and rule on them? there's still ambiguity out there, right? >> we have to pick up the other 15 states, no doubt about that. i will say that the court's decision to deny review in all five cases and to now have the three circuit court rulings stand and to have marriage now immediately in another 11 states was not something any of us anticipated. but the momentum that that signals -- i think what the court is essentially indicating by declining review is that it is confirming that these circuit courts are getting it right. i think that's huge. >> but you said what you think, you're guessing which allows in another -- again, i'm not knocking you.
obviously if i were in your position and i took your position, i would be excited about it. everybody is saying this is a glorious day, but even your morning, you're saying i think what the court is saying, but this still allows another what, 25 states to ban same-sex marriage, right? >> well, it has 15 -- there will be 15 states that will not be states that recognize the right of same-sex couples to marry or perform those marriages itself. but you have to agree that this is a sweeping momentum shift and we had momentum before and now it's momentum like turbo charged. and i can't imagine a situation -- i think this is a clear signal to the remaining circuit courts that the -- where the court is on the ultimate question. because they're not going to have a ruling like this that they know will be so sweeping and then take it away. they're in our corner, they're ready to rule then we that moment comes. but they're happy to let this
play out. >> joe, i want to show you the response from republican governors, but governor pence,ly always believe in the importance of traditional marriage and abide by the rule of law. under our system of government, people are free to disagree with the court decisions but not to disobey them. governor walker says for us, it's over in wisconsin. the federal courts have ruled that this -- that this decision by this court of appeals decision is the law of the land and we will be upholding it. >> well, again, it was -- again for proponents of same-sex marriage yesterday was a great day. but it's not a slam dunk, kate, obviously until the supreme court rules at least five justices on the united states supreme court rule that you are a -- a state is violating the equal protection clause if they ban gay marriage. >> well, no, that's a really important point.
and we are one country. it is an untenable situation that we will have couples who will be married in wisconsin and if they -- if their car rolls across the state line, their relationship will not be recognized. that is obscene. so that -- that has to change. >> let me ask you, why do you think -- what's your gut on why the justices were afraid -- and they were. the justices did not want to touch this case. what's your gut? just your politics aside and your beliefs aside, as a legal analyst, why did the court shy away from ruling on this case? >> well, i think there are a couple -- i mean, i can't read the tea leaves any better than anyone else, but i think there are two reasons. one, they decided two really important cases for the lgbt community just last term. the windsor ruling and the
ruling on prop 8. and the second thing, this is like really from my first year in law school, there's no split in the circuits. every circuit -- fourth, seventh, tenth, all ruled in favor of marriage equality. i think if you go back to the classic reasons why a court would take a case for review, they want to settle a question among which there is disagreement. you know, ginsburg signalled this in a law school speech she gave a few weeks ago. it was the first time she laid out this possible scenario. i have to say a lot of my law school professor friends pretty much said to me, kate, that's how it's going to be. i actually think in some ways this is brilliant because what it will signal, as more people live with the reality of same-sex couples getting married in their communities and their marriage is still fine, the community is fine and they're celebrating love and they're seeing the relationships strong and nurtured by the government, people love it. it's fine. >> kate, thank you.

it began as an act of defiance, a way to turn a tragedy into a symbol of hope. 26 playgrounds have been built to honor the 26 victims of the sandy hook elementary school shooting. each one uniquely celebrates the children or teachers who lost their lives. brian williams brings us that story from the site of the 26th and final play ground. >> reporter: on a startlingly beautiful october day, happy children swarmed all over the brand new playground in connecticut, dedicated to the principal who died trying to protect her students at sandy hook elementary school two years ago now. after the ceremony and the flyover and the honor guard, there was raw emotion. a reading from a book that dawn loved to read to the children. it was led by one of her daughters.
the young children don't understand why this playground was built, but their faces remind us what it's meant for. >> it is amazing. she would be so, so happy. >> reporter: all 26 of the memorial sandy hook playgrounds are now happy places. they're all scattered around the new york area in towns that also suffered damage from hurricane sandy. and at each one, the family members pitched in. >> put my hands in the cement. >> reporter: what is your favorite job to watch and favorite job to do yourself? >> my favorite is probably the sidewalk. and my favorite job to watch is probably the panels that they put on the -- >> reporter: okay. for the other families who lost someone at sandy hook, this project has held so much meaning. >> we became a family with all the firefighters. >> our little daniel loved to go to the playground.
it's a beautiful tribute. >> today, the angels are looking down at us. wow, this is the final one. it's beautiful. >> reporter: the group behind this is a foundation called where angels play and they plan to keep doing this across the country in places where there's been tragedy. like boston, aurora, colorado, and moore, oklahoma. bill lavin is the founder of this whole concept. he's a retired new jersey firefighter who told me on the job site last week it doesn't get more personal for him. if you close your eyes can you see all 26, do they have a special meaning to you? >> every single one has a miracle that's happened. think of the moms and dads who have inspired this group here. who will work from dawn to dusk. then thank me for allowing them to do all of that. you know? they'll thank us. but quite frankly this is our blessing and privilege. >> what a beautiful idea. >> really is a beautiful, beautiful idea.
hard to believe, but this december it will be two years since sandy hook. and mike, tell you what, i just can't -- i can't, other than 911 i just can't think of a day that has shattered the peace of this country more than that day. and there's a lot of talk after about gun control. there are a lot of battles. nothing has been done on any front. the issue i talked about the most, the background checks. i went back and checked -- checked to see. because there are a lot of things like -- people talk about assault weapons bans and even mike bloomberg said that won't save lives down the ground. but the background checks, a new quinnipiac poll shows that -- i say new this year, still overwhelmingly support background checks. even gun owners. even gun owners.
even gun owners. >> yeah. >> support background checks. 92% to 6%. not gun control. background checks to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally deranged. out of the hands of terrorists. out of the hands of convicts. and congress does nothing. nothing, nothing. >> you mentioned september 11th. after september 11th, this country came out of that epic tragedy with a sense of purpose. with a sense of unity. now, it became misguided. we invaded iraq. after what happened in connecticut two years ago this december, it raises the question, who are we? i will forever be amazed that there was no sense of purpose, no specific sense of outrage
directed at our institutions, the congress, various state legislatures, ourselves as to why we can't do minimal steps to remove weaponry from the hands of the deranged. >> the cowards in congress ran and hid despite the fact that in some states 94, 95% of the people in their states supported background checks, expansive background checks, like ronald reagan supported background checks, like george w. bush supported background checks. like 92% of gun owners support background checks and they were afraid of the 4%. by the way, if -- forget gun control, forget ale the things that diane feinstein wants. if you take care of that, and you realize that the gun
violence is committed by the people who bought the gun, you take care of so much violence in this country. so much gang land violence. i'm wondering who thinks it's conservative? >> right. >> to let gang members traffic guns? who thinks it's conservative for drug addicts and drug dealers to traffic guns? i don't know. where i come from, that's not conservative. that's radical, that's dangerous, that's stupid. >> a good question. we'll be right back. then there's trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. it's no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. and during the big tire event, get up to $140 in mail-in rebates on four select tires. ♪

a pair of newscasters up in boston came back from commercial and something was a little off. just watch. >> good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us this morning on the october 4th. >> look at that guy's coffee mug again. just hold it -- the only way you can save that, mugs are they safer held upside down? a new report finds the answer. >> oh, my goodness. that's so funny. see, if we did that, all of the vodka would fall out. you have to keep it upright, joe. welcome back to "morning joe." joining us from washington, i've got a copy of tip and the gipper. did you get yours? >> a paper back. >> the host of "hardball", chris matthews.
his book. "tip and the gipper, when politics worked." now out in paper back. more than ever before, we need this book. >> chris, we'll talk to you about this book in a little bit. we want to get through some news first. but we'll talk -- looking through the lens of a story we just talked about about background checks. 92% of the people supporting it, but congress -- >> we'll do that. >> let's go through the polls first. >> if you believe, chris, the latest polling, alison lundergan grimes has a chance of unseating the top republican in the senate. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads senator mcconnell 46 to 44% that's within the four-point margin of error. a month ago, mcconnell was up by eight points in the nbc news/maris poll. what do you think is going on there? >> well, i think that's a robo poll. so i'm not sure that's not an
outlier. we have to watch the pattern, i think it's an outlier. >> not the only race that democrats are showing strength. kay hagen was a four-point lead over tom tillis. the race in kansas is starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts, he's done by ten to greg orman, an independent. >> we'll save this tape until wednesday after the elections. let's make our predictions a month out. in the republicans win the senate i think they have a good chance to do it. it will be the following route they'll take. they'll win south dakota, montana, west virginia for sure. the next states will be alaska, arkansas and louisiana. they'll then have to win iowa which i think they'll win because they have make up for the loss to the independent orman. again, south dakota, montana, west virginia, alaska, arkansas, louisiana, and iowa. if they want to pick up a little bit of a benefit or a premium, they'll win in north carolina. but i don't think they will. or in colorado or new hampshire or michigan.
>> chris -- >> just a minute, joe. just a minute. >> no no, it's my show. i'm going to ask you a question. >> no. >> you always do this and you act like you never ask follow-up questions and you come on my show and you're shocked and stunned that somebody stopped you and asked you a question. to the follow-up question, what's happening in north carolina? >> i think she's going to win it. >> why? >> really? >> she's a really good candidate. >> why though? i'm just curious. this is a state that obviously it's sort of a purple state right now. >> yes. >> she was supposed to be weak. look at the south, mary landrieu is keeping it close. arkansas is closer than it should be. north carolina is closer than it should be. it seems like the solid south for republicans isn't so solid anymore. >> yeah, well, i made my prediction for what i think going to happen. the net six pickup they'll squeak in. but it's a month out, of course. i think north carolina is interesting because tillis has to play defense as well as
offense. i know the state is moving to the right. certainly -- and i know that, i don't like it, but it's happening. but i think she's been running consistently well. this is going on for months now. a consistent performance ahead of tillis. i think she's capable of -- a winner again this time. >> i wonder if in north carolina you had republicans take over in 2010, they went further right than a lot of people in north carolina were ready for them to go. you have the state senator who's actually paying for that on the campaign trail now. >> yeah, well i have a sentimental thing, we're bringing the whole team down to follow around that race and i'm getting -- i'm bragging now. the north carolina hall of fame i'm getting down there. so i love the place down there. >> of course you do. congratulations. you sound like my dad right now. >> i love it. >> let's go to some other races. >> well, you mentioned colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge over cory gardner. >> yeah.
i think he'll win. >> last month cory gardner was leading. jean shne shaheen was tied with scott brown and now is leading. and now joni ernst is now tied -- >> maike barnicle i want to ask you, remember we heard in new hampshire, the day after president obama went golfing, right after the isis beheading, you had people up there telling you they saw immediately a drop in polls? >> yeah. >> a month ago we had republicans coming on here saying oh, this is going to be a wave election. we're feeling good about it. we have those elections after the president seemed disengaged on isis. and now in all of the states -- not all, but most, it looks like we're back in the democrats' favor from a tie a month ago in new hampshire to the seven point lead for jeanne shaheen.
i know chris said it's a robo call, but a lot of the twists around turns are going in the democrats' direction. >> you're seeing one consistent pattern, both in north carolina and in new hampshire. shaheen and in north carolina, both have achieved some separation from barack obama. and they have had to. because on the ground in both new hampshire and north carol a carolina, i assume in north carolina it would be the same as new hampshire, they don't want him in there. both candidates do not want the president of the united states in there. jeanne shaheen is a different, unique case. she is of new hampshire. >> she's of new hampshire. let's really quickly, willie, where republicans are ahead in alaska. mark begich has been losing ground. sullivan has a slight edge over pryor in arkansas. you know, that race keeps -- i'll tell you, i thought tom cotton would be six points ahead. but this race is still close.
cbs news/"new york times" poll, louisiana senator landrieu is down by six to republican bill cassidy. much different from a poll a couple of days ago. >> it is. you mentioned that arkansas race, president clinton was in the state yesterday. really feeling up in his home state. looking to help democrats get a win there. the former president returning there. headlining rallies for mark pryor and gubernatorial candidate mike ross who is the former driver by the way. >> that's great. >> he urged them to reject republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. >> you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races, they're saying, you may like these guys but hey, you know what you've got to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise you your last shot. it's a pretty good scam isn't it? i may wander, i may groan, but i'll never be far from home.
you're in my heart and you will always be. arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don't vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. vote for the legacy and you'll be happy a month from now. thank you and god bless you. >> it's like seeing elvis in vegas. it disn't matter -- it doesn't matter what happened before he got there and put the long scarf on, when he belts out like, you know, jailhouse rock. he's still elvis. that is a sight to behold. >> a man on his home turf. singing his favorite songs. >> i may go far -- >> chris matthews, were you moved? >> i hear 2016 calling already. >> it runs deep in you. >> it runs deep. 2016, yeah. >> hey, chris, let's say your
scenario plays out, that you laid out and republicans do squeak out the senate. okay, so they take the house. the senate. what are the last two years of president obama's second term looking like? >> well, it looks like -- go way back in history the republicans when they got the congress in '46 when truman was president, i see a lot of probes, investigations, a lot of that. you know, a lot of darrell isa stuff going on. mainly investigations and again going back to obamacare i don't think it will look good going into 2016. i think the no vote is what they're selling this time. but by 2016, people are looking for a yes candidate. somebody who offers something for the future. so they have to do a hell of a quick turn around from being the no party to the yes party.
i still think hillary has the yes, potentially over them. people want to say yes when they pick a new president. not no. i think. >> now, they do. and mika, things look very different for barack obama if republicans get in versus if the democrats hold. i will tell you this. for republicans it's the same. no matter what. whether they get in or not, if they don't have a forward looking, positive agenda they're doomed in '16. if getting in means stopping barack obama, they're going to lose in '16. the party just fold up the tent and go away. if winning the senate means they're moving forward with a positive, hopeful forward looking agenda, they have actually a shot at '16. when they're in the minority or the majority, it really doesn't matter for the '16 candidate if they're the party of no. as chris said, they are doomed in '16. i'll say it right now. they are doomed in '16 if they don't stop just playing. >> there's still time for
constructive ideas and candidat candidates who are exciting. let's get to the next story, same-sex couples in another five states are now able to be married. the supreme court declined to rule on challenges to lower court decisions that overturned same-sex marriage bans in utah and other states. and joining us now edward whalen, a former law clerk to antonin scalia and served on the senate judiciary committee. great to have you on. >> i'm just wondering, does this go on the pantheon of conservative disappointments when republicans supposedly rule the supreme court? sandra day o'connor, back in the famous missouri decision on abortion and now the roberts court deciding not to move on this issue? >> well, i think it's a
disappointment to all parties concerned, that is there are folks on both sides of the issue who thought it should be decided by the court and it's disappointing that they're letting the lower court ruling stand. that said, this seems to be a consequence of the court's opinion a couple years ago. especially in the united states versus windsor where the court ruled 5-4 that the federal defense of marriage act was unconstitutional. in reasoning that i think most people would find baffling. that act was passed by the overwhelming majorities by both houses of congress, including lots of strong supporters of gay rights. signed in to law by president clinton, but it could be explained only by an intent to injure. so i think with that sort of baffling reasoning, the conservatives on the court which a group that does not include justice kennedy, probably concluded that justice kennedy
was beyond persuasion on this. >> so governor walker said the fight is over when it comes to gay rights. do you agree? >> well, i think the question isn't one of gay rights broadly. the question is one of marriage and -- >> i misspoke. gay marriage. >> what marriage is and who decides what marriage is. obviously, in the state of wisconsin for now, there's been a judicial imposition of same-sex marriage and it's difficult to see what could possibly be done there. >> he's -- >> well, as a practical matter right now, it's difficult to see what can be done. now one could sketch a scenario in which it's not over. i won't claim to be an optimist on this. again, when one looks at where five supreme court justices appear to be there's little cause for short term optimism. >> ed, thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. again, none of the circuits disagree. if the circuits aren't disagreeing, they won't weigh in. >> chris matthews, "tip and the
gipper when politics worked." 92% of gun owners support background support and yet the extremes control so much. the big money on both sides control so much. we get nothing done. >> yeah, the funny thing is that for years, joe, you and i know that the slogan of the nra was guns don't kill people, people do. find out who are the people buying the guns. it's not about the gun, but about the person. so let's make sure that the right people are getting guns if they have to have a gun. and the wrong people don't. i mean, that seems to me consistent with what they have always argued about training and safety and everything else. isn't one of the safety precautions for the gun making sure that crazy people and murderers don't get them? isn't that safety precaution? it is logical and consistent with the way they have always approached at least theoretically gun ownership. >> chris matthews, we'll be watching "hard ball" tonight.
i love it. it's the show i'm watching as i'm winding the day down. >> can i tell one story? >> sure. >> i was on the air -- >> take about ten minutes. >> one second. one second. i was trying to explain my book when i started this push for the paper back the other day. and somebody gets on the phone with me from one of the local stations and says, when did tipper gore and ronald reagan begin their relationship? [ laughter ] >> oh! oh. >> i had no idea, mika, where to go with that. >> wow. >> i gave the bill clinton answer from the debates. i acted as if she had said tip o'neal and ignored what was -- >> that is so funny. don't you love book tours? >> sometimes you have to roll with it. like when pat buchanan had -- >> i had a doozie, remind me to tell you about it. thanks chris. after a rescue at sea, the bubble man is back.
>> he's back! >> and he wants his bubble back. >> what an idiot. >> then republicans can already claim victory in one key battleground area. that story is apparently on youtube. that's the area they've won. we'll explain when we come back. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪ oats go! wow! go power oats! go!

we'll take a look at the morning papers. "the wall street journal," the joe biden apologyç tour. it comes after making remarks critical about the allies in the middle east. >> he was right, other than confusing -- >> well, he shouldered the blame for the rise of isis and now the vice president is reaching out to officials in saudi arabia to clarify and apologize. he's spoken to leaders from turkey and the united arab emirates. >> shouldn't have done that. >> yesterday, the white house stood by the vice president. >> the vice president is somebody who has enough
character to admit when he's made a mistake. the vice president is somebody who continues to be a core member of the president's national security team. he is somebody who has decades of experience in dealing with leaders around the globe. and the president is pleased to be able to rely on his advice as we confront the variety of challenges that are so critical to american national security. >> and by the way, if you're keeping score at home, the no criticize joe zone still -- >> it applies here on the set of "morning joe." >> yeah. we're not going to criticize joe biden here. from "usa today," floyd mayweather said he's $1.4 million richer after bet on the indianapolis colts. >> hmm. >> the boxer took to instagram to share his ticket, showing he bet on week 3. he bet $373,000. negative 105 odds and the colt won it despite ending with 0-2 record. >> "the miami herald," the
endurance athlete rescued in the inflatable bubble off the coast of florida, this story brought to you by my sister-in-law. may be safe -- >> but he's still stupid. >> but he wants the bubble back. reza baluchi was attempting to run the border of the bermuda triangle in a bubble, it's called a hydropod. his journey was cut short on saturday when he was rescued by the coast guard due to extreme fatigue. his bubble was left in the water and now he wants it back. it cost him 4,500 bucks to build and it still has his green card, passport, wallet and cell phone and shoes inside. there's something so ridiculous about this story. and the guy's dead serious. he wants his bubble back. >> and how much did the coast guard spend on that, rescuing that idiot? >> yeah. maybe they can balance out after he pays them for what they did
for him, he can get his bubble back. >> we go from that story to a serious one. how about some fighting kangaroos. this is posted to reddit, two kangaroos boxing on a residential street in australia. nbc can confirm this is in fact a residential street and that those are in fact kangaroos! >> that looks like you and me after the show. >> well, sometimes during the show. look at that. >> oh, my goodness. is that -- they're raging roos. a good lower third. >> can you believe that? look at that. >> yeah. oh, yeah, you deserve that. all right. i don't know how to do this transmission. >> i'm mesmerized by that. >> can we see that again? >> okay. >> let's put it in the box in the lower left of our screen. as we take to mike allen, we can gaze at the kangaroos kick boxing. >> put it in the loop.
i'm serious. keep this up. >> keep it up and we'll talk to mike. >> we have mike allen, here with the morning playbook. if you know don't like what mike is a saying, look to the left side of your screen. mike, according to politico the midterm race for the campaign viral videos isn't close. we are going to be showing you this viral video throughout this entire segment, but first, let's take a look at what republicans are doing online. >> i'm matt rosen dale, this is how i look from the government drone. and this is what i think about it. >> sometimes when a politician has been in d.c. too long it goes to his head and he can't seem to get the job done. if you have a boehner lasting longer than 23 years seek immediate medical attention. >> i'm joni ernst, when i get to washington i know how to cut pork. >> mom, this is my decision. i see a better future with rick scott. >> sometimes it's hard to let go of old styles, but it all worked out in the end because brittany
said yes to rick scott. >> uh. >> i'm stuck on the first one. >> all right. now, the first one is pretty good. all right. so mike, why have -- i'm sorry, i don't see the kangaroos fighting, there we go. why have the republicans fared so much better than the democrats when it comes to this season? >> well, politico analyzed traffic stats from youtube and facebook and said that the republicans have a much bigger lead in the viral videos. and that's such a change from 2012 when obama and the democrats were so dominant in creating digital comment. the republicans are much better and one of the reasons is they're taking the more gorilla approach. the outsiders trying to take the senate, taking on obama. many of the most clicked ads which were made by the koch network had to do with obamacare.
and democrats say now they're more -- putting their digital resources into fund-raising e-mails. >> is there any evidence that this actually has an impact on supporters? >> i'm so glad you asked that because yes, this can change elections and could change the senate. joe, joni ernst had her stand out in a field of republicans. nobody knew who'd win that primary and now ernst who is looking strong in iowa could be a bluish state that could go red. she could be the majority maker. so in this time when everybody's attention is fractured a viral video can change the senate. >> we're looking at one right now. mike allen, thank you so much. we appreciate it. it's kind of like those old -- >> kick boxing kangaroos.
>> like the old palmolive videos, you're soaking in it. remember madge? >> yeah. bill clinton comes to the defense of mark pryor. but first, relieved to be back in the united states, but the freelance nbc cameraman still has a long way to go for recovery. we'll have kate snow with a special report coming up. and many more kangaroos kick boxing.

now the very latest on the ebola outbreak and the efforts to keep that virus from spreading. there's a nurse in spain that's the latest to be infected. the first diagnosis outside of west africa. meanwhile, the white house is rejecting calls for a travel ban but says it's working on increased screening at airports here in the u.s. and abroad. and we're learning new information about the nbc freelance photographer who arrived for treatment less than 24 hours ago. kate snow joins us live from home omaha. how is his treatment because they were deciding on what type of medicine to give him.
>> that's right, thomas. last night we learned that he will be given some kind of a experimental medication. his father telling us that his dad happens to be a doctor in his own right and he says they're really lucky that they caught the ebola virus pretty early. ashoka mukpo is waking up in isolation. he was able to walk off the plane from liberia. >> he gave a little wave earlier when he first came in. that was reassuring. >> he and his girlfriend lived together in liberia for two years. helen was due to join him in liberia this past weekend. >> i miss him i really miss him. i was meant to see him, you know, a couple of days ago. and i wish it was under different circumstances. >> his parents say he's scared by ready to fight. >> he said i'll get through this. >> it's a combination of emotions. we have been very afraid, on the
other hand we're very confident. >> the 85-year-old mother of ebola patient thomas eric duncan arrived in dallas monday. she drove 15 hours to be near him. hoping to find a way for him to hear her voice. he is taking an experimental drug. he was given the same dose on saturday, the same day that his condition took the turn for the worse. if duncan infected anyone else, they would likely have symptoms this week. so far, none of the 48 people being watched is sick. >> 100% seen yesterday. 100% of them had no signs of fever. had no signs of illness. 100% were doing well. >> still, authorities worry about the toll this ebola case is taking. >> the stress of this and the fear of this, you know, could be more damaging to this community than the virus itself. >> now, experts say we have the tools in this country to stop any kind of ebola outbreak.
the key tool is finding anyone who's been exposed to the ebola virus and making sure that we monitor those people. that's exactly by the way what's being done with dr. nancy snyderman and her team. the nbc news team returned late last night on a charter flight and we know that they were monitored by health officials when they got here, back to the u.s. we are told they're in good health, showing no symptoms. but just out of an abundance of caution they're quarantined and staying away at home for the next 21 days. >> explain the process that h e have -- that was and the decision process made to take mukpo to the hospital in omaha. >> yeah, it sounds random, but they have a bio containment unit here that has been set up for a number of years. they have been training extensively to handle any kind of infectious disease. by the way, they already treated one patient with ebola. remember, dr. rick sacre, he was treated here. so they have experience.
the doctors were pointing out to me yesterday this is not something that's been in the u.s. much before. so it's very new so they wanted to send him somewhere where they had the expertise. >> all right, kate snow, thanks. appreciate it. coming up next, bill clinton saying arkansas runs deep in him. >> yes, it does. >> when he's not in new york city. >> we'll hear more from the former president turned star in his home state as he fights -- as he fights it falling into republican hands. joe, what do you say to that? >> i want to see kangaroos.

democrat mark pryor is still hanging on in arkansas, but he's been slipping in the latest polls. he's now down by four to tom cotton. time to bring out the big guns and there's no one bigger in arkansas than bill clinton.
casey hunt is on the trail. >> i love my native state. without you i never would have had a chance to do anything. and i didn't come back to the briar patch, i came back to the future. >> reporter: for bill clinton this is where it all began. >> bill clinton who announced today he wants to be a democratic presidential nominee. >> i'm proud to say here in arkansas we have led the way. >> reporter: now clinton is trying to save what's left of his party in his home state. senator mark pryor, the son of clinton confidant david pryor in danger of losing to tom cotton. >> i didn't come here to talk about my opponent, but let me take this opportunity to do so. you know, he went to harvard. right? i know. he couldn't get into uca, what can i say? >> the president's unpopular in arkansas. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of the races they're saying you may like the guys,
but hey, you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. it's a pretty good scam, isn't it? >> reporter: arkansas had just one republican in congress and now pryor is the last democrat left. >> people like my parents used to vote democratic. but now the obama democrats in washington no longer represent arkansas's conservative values. >> is this still the arkansas you governed? >> oh, i think so. i think we've got a really good chance. i think he's run a great campaign, i think he -- i expect him to win. >> can he win this race for you? >> i have got to win this race on my own. >> reporter: if there's one thing they agree on it, might be bill clinton. >> i think a lot of arkansans look back on the clinton years like the obama years and view them favorably. >> president clinton, can i get a selfie? >> wow. >> with us is -- nobody draws them like bill clinton. certainly not in arkansas.
but this race has been up in the air. i said a couple of hours ago i thought tom cotton to be up by ten points now. but it's a lot closer. what keeps pryor close and what makes democrats think they can still win this race? >> reporter: it's a couple of factors, joe. this is a democratic state for decades. only recently it's finally started to slip away from the southern democrats and at this point, mark pryor still has a ton of goodwill from his father, david pryor, who is very close do former president bill clinton and bill clinton himself has been really engaged here. you know, he noted in his speech, hey, this isn't the only time i have been down here to arkansas. he's been back for three funerals, coming back for his high school reunion. he's still very connected to it. and if there's anybody that can make a difference for mark pryor it's bill clinton. that's what you're soing over -- seeing over the next few days.
>> what did you see down there? >> well, i travelled with tom cotton on saturday. i'm upset with the pryor campaign, he's a wonderful man. i asked what events, and they wouldn't tell me. >> that's weird. >> but aside from that -- >> okay. you have vented. >> aside from that, pryor is a very decent, lovely man. cotton is, you know, -- is moving with the trends down there. i saw him on saturday talking to a gun rally and saying that the right to bear arms was not just a constitutional right, but a god-given right. >> oh, my. >> and -- >> well, you obviously, it's the 11th commandment. >> yeah. >> okay. >> or the 12th maybe. >> so it's a very conservative state, but arkansas still a little different than let's say alabama or mississippi or tennessee.
there's still sort of -- >> yeah. >> more of the yellow dogs still running around in the south. >> one thing i noticed when talking about north carolina a little while ago, i was there as well on my road trip and the thing that -- that's keeping the democrat afloat there is the fact that tillis' legislature cut education funding. and in north carolina, there is a long, moderate tradition, 50 years since terry sanford of boosting education as a way to bring in industry. >> you know, i'll tell you what, for conservatives who are shocked when i say this, i mean, you've got to look at the tea leaves this year. this is in many ways i think a -- an election where the warning flags -- if they haven't gone up for republicans already, they need to go up on issues education and tax cuts. you can cut education to pay for tax cuts, you need to talk to
sam brown back, it's not paying anymore for republican. this tax cuts at all costs mentality, if brownback goes down, this as the center plank for the republican party -- >> i agree with joe scarborough on this one. i think you see two states now, north carolina and kansas are education cuts are paying heavily in the democrats' favor. what's interesting about a arkansas you have obamacare there and i'm curious what casey can tell us about how that -- obviously, medicaid expansion has insured a lot of people. i think arkansas has the steepest drop in the uninsurance rate in the country. casey, did you pick up anything from this? >> yeah, president clinton actually offered a pretty row
best defense of the president's health care law. which was interesting to me. following senator pryor's campaign. it is something they have tried to kind of run on a little bit. they have the one ad sort of praising obamacare and then they backed away from it. i think it illustrates this broader problem that he has in dealing with president obama. president clinton alluded to it, noting that president obama was unpopular in arkansas. and i asked pryor about the ebola crisis yesterday and i think it illustrates the problem he has here in the ad talking cotton. this is what he had to say. >> do you think that the obama administration has done an appropriate job handling the ebola crisis? >> um, i would say that it's hard to know because i haven't heard the latest briefing on
that to know all -- i read the paper and all, but my impression is that we have people over there, both from cdc and other medical type people and even some engineers to try to build, you know, medical facilities. that's what they need over there. they need the medical infrastructure. >> have we been aggressive enough in helping these people? >> um, again, i have to see the latest numbers. >> wow. >> stop it. stop it. stop it! stop it! >> what? >> just stop. >> you're like -- >> throw in the towel, casey, what was going on there? >> nice, gentle question. >> i'm not sure. i thought he would have a yes or no answer. but -- >> could i -- >> what was that, casey? >> she asked a gentle question. she was just being honest and the guy just collapsed. >> you were there, why were the questions so hard for the senator to answer? >> well, you know, like i said,
i was a little surprised that they were so difficult because he had aired this out on ebola late in august. accusing his opponent tom cotton of not doing enough to fight global pandemics. i -- >> you thought that was a softball? >> -- for that ad. >> news of the day question. >> joe klein? >> compare and contrast on saturday i asked cotton about ebola and he immediately said we have to shut down flights from that region because -- and this was the brilliant part, because the terrorists might send people infected with ebola over here. and, you know, when you think of boko haram, i think that deals to the sense of fear in the last three weeks -- >> that was an answer. >> a professional answer even if it was -- >> sam stein, you brought up the
ad that senator pryor had used before on ebola. >> yeah. >> trying to blame tom cotton for it. he was very critical and yet to have him stammer there with casey, pretty stunning. i mean, it's painful to watch. >> yeah. and the answer is pretty self-explanatory from mark pryor's perspective. go back to the facts of the ad. the budget for the centers for disease control has been cut by $600 million from 2010 to 2014. listen, the republican party and the austerity movement has cut cdc funding, but he stammered and couldn't come one the word, it was really awkward. i would say cotton referencing ebola patients and sending them across the border -- >> well, split screen with the kick boxing kangaroos -- >> no, no. let's watch this quickly. >> can you guys play it again? >> how do you say no mas in kangaroo? >> stunning.
>> do you think that the obama administration has done an appropriate job handling the ebola crisis? >> um, i would say that -- it's hard to know because i haven't heard the latest briefing on that to know all the -- i read the paper and all, but my impression is we have people over there, both from cdc and other medical type people and even some engineers to try to build, you know, medical facilities. that's what they need over there. they need the medical infrastructure. >> do you think we've been aggressive enough in -- >> um, again, i have to see the latest numbers. >> oh, my god. casey hunt, you have done it again. >> what is wrong with you? >> she is so mean. >> you're cruel. >> she asks such simple questions. >> it's a trap.

welcome back to "morning joe." there's outrage in one new jersey town this morning after a high school canceled the rest of the high school football season amid a hazing investigation. seniors on the team intimidated and bullied freshmen, including some acts that could be considered sexual assault. >> this district, in this board of education is making unified stance to say no. no to bullying. >> last night school officials in sayerville, new jersey, announced they will cancel the remainder of the football season. from freshmen to versety squads. the drastic measure less than a week after widespread allegations of hazing by senior team members towards freshmen, including severe bullying and possible sexual assault. >> there were incidents of
harassment and bullying that took base on a pervasive level, a wide scale level, and at a level in which the players knew, tolerated and in general accepted. >> the cancellation comes as schools nationwide are cracking down against bullying. >>. >> i'm not satisfied with the way we handled it from the get-go. >> meanwhile, in sayerville -- >> it's unfair for the kids that didn't have nothing to do with it. >> the community itself is like family. >> you're still proud of this community? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> it's just very devastating. it's very sad for the parents and the players. >> wow. >> no players have been suspended from school as the investigation goes on. there are questions about the role the coaches played. the superintendent said he asked the the assistant principal at the school to look at the sports
team and their protocols. they have a pretty good football program. >> so obviously for those of us -- i started playing football when i was 6. now play it your whole life. a lot of these kids, football has been their life for a decade. they get to senior year and because of the hazing, they're not going to have a senior year. this will impact them for years to come. >> why not just punish the people that were committing the mistakes, instead of the entire team. >> i sympathy in the context of everything going on in with the nfl and everything else, they want to make a big statement. it also includes the cheerleader and the band. all these people have their season completely wiped out. >> yeah, but to me it sounds like that's the leadership the nfl could use. >> they won three state titles in four years, then these seniors who were freshmen, this is behavior they've seen
cultivated over a certain period of time. >> it would have to be widespread, i would think, mike. to cancel the entire season. >> that's a huge crisis. >> for people that understand these kids, over a decade, their entire life, and the parents and the family every friday night. >> yeah. yeah. >> and so i'm just wondering and again, it does start at the top. those coaches should never coach again in jersey. >> if they knew. >> yeah, up next, a great poll showing a surjs of support for democrats across the country. is there any connection to president obama remaining off the campaign trail? plus, the most expensive hotel ever sold. who is buying the waldorf and what they plan to do with it and whatnot to send your kid today

where same-sex marriage is legal makes it inevitable, it seems, that the rest of the country will follow. >> inevitable that the rest of the country will follow. well, i guess that's it. i would like to thank my wife lorain for 25 good years. what can i say? we gave it a ghood shot, honey. i was just about going to get a photo of you. and i was going to announce my new governor appointed life partner, roger and i are registered at restoration hardware. we're doing the entire living room in hammered stainless steel. >> good morning, everybody. it's tuesday, october 7th. look at that times square. it's already buzzing. or still is. with us onset, we have msnbc contributor, associate professor at columbia university school of international and public affairs

unseating the top republican in the senate. this didn't look like it could happen until now. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads mcconnell 46 to 44%. that's within the four-point margin of error. a month ago mcconnell was up by eight points. it's not the only race, by the way, where the democrats are showing strength. we're seeing this in a couple of other key places. north carolina, kay hagan has a four-point lead. but she's leading. the race in kansas, already starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts. he's down by 10% to independent greg orman. in colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge of corey garner. that's close to a toss-up. he was leading by eight points at one point.
last month jeanne shaheen. and in iowa where two weeks ago joni ernst was leading by six, she's now tied with democrat bruce braley. i don't know. you think that the president is such a hint rans as the narrative has been, dorian. and yet we're seeing something possiblily happening here if you believe the polls. >> and we haven't seen the clintons in action by the way. >> we're going to talk about that. >> that mr. make a difference. it's hard to figure out, is this an anti-incumbency wave, or is this something the democrats are doing in terms of campaign strategy that republicans are not? it remains to be scene. >> particularly remarkable. grimes looked like she was starting to slip away. she had done so well for several month ls. you saw mcconnell getting some distance. so she closed the gap now with a
month left to go. and as you say, that whole campaign has been about pairing her with president obama, and now here she is tied. >> i find that to be extremely interesting to watch. in alaska, mark begich has been losing ground to sullivan. tom cotton has a slight edge on pryor in arkansas. and the cbs news "new york times" poll has louisiana senator mary landrieu down by six points to really bill kasz di. so there we're seeing a fight for senator mary landrieu. the comeback kid, as you mentioned, is looking to help democrats in his hometown state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for mark pryor. clinton urged votered to reject republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. >> you cannot afford to do what
their opponents want. they want you to make this a protest vote. all three races. they're saying you may like these guys, but you got to vote against the president. it's your last shot. it's a good scam, isn't it? i may wander and roam, but i will never be far from home. you're in my heart, and you will always be, arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don't tell you for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. and you will be happy a mon from now. thank you and god bless you. >> boy, he's really something, isn't he? >> yes, you are. >> i love that guy. >> could he be any happier? >> please don't do this. just don't do it. stop. >> and what about mitch
mcconnell, huh? he's down. >> yes, i mentioned that at the top of the show when you walked away. i was excited about your reaction. but you just left. i'm going to do that. i'm going to try that. why? i thought we looked good. >> i didn't want to hear andy williams holiday song. we were coordinating our sweaters before the show, it's a showing. if you look what's happening with mitch mcconnell. we were all asking, what were the polls going to look like? the first wave of polls after the beheadings. after barack obama went out golfing after the beheading specifically. and now we're starting to see a big turnaround in kentucky. you look at north carolina. big turnaround. republicans were sure ap month ago this is going to be a wave election. it may still be. you just don't see any evidence
of it out there. democrats are doing so much better now than they should be doing. and republicans are now going to lose kansas. >> what do you make of kentucky? i don't see it as related to isis. do you? is that what is happening here? >> all democrats were hurt a month ago by barack obama's seeming obliviousness to what was going on with isis. and the jv comments and golfing after the beheading. but i think you're starting to see these races go back to their set point. and the set point is a lot of kentucky people can't relate to mitch mcconnell. they may not agree with grimes in a lot of issues, but they just can't relate to mitch mcconnell. >> and she and other candidates have run smart campaigns distancing themselves from the president.
as the former president bill clinton said in arkansas, this is not a vote for barack obama. this is a vote for mark pryor or london grimes or other particular candidates. this should have republicans worried for 2016. they have a lot more seats to defend in 2016. >> i'm sorry. i was just going to say clinton's comments were interesting, too. he said this is just two more years of president obama. he's almost saying don't worry. it's only two more years. but these guys are aplaying for six-h year jobs. so don't make this about president obama. >> oh, my gosh. >> he's very, very good. >> if you talk to any republican strategist six months ago, a year ago and said a month before the election you're going to be losing kwst by ten. to an independent candidate. and you're going to be losing north carolina. in some polls you're going to be
losing louisiana. arkansas is going to be split down the middle. i can tell you as republicans we're screwed. >> iowa is tied right now. >> and the democrat out in iowa is a clown. i mean, democrats say quietly, that guy is a clown. he's ill fit for kansas. he goes to texas and say, the last thing we want is somebody from iowa, a dumb ass iowa farmer is basically what he's saying. >> well -- >> although i would say, joni ernst commercials -- >> the the castration candidates. >> i those were brilliant before. clearly iowa voters are thinking something else now. >> i don't know. i think if you look at the trend, it's all against the republicans right now. there are exceptions. scott walker, a guy i like very much. a great hope for a lot of conservatives like myself. he may not win this year. >> he's being investigated for
corruption scandal. >> go a state over to michigan. one tough nerd. the governor of michigan. a year ago everything looked great. now he's on the run. and here's the thing, this is what republicans need to understand. you got to stand for something. you can't just be against barack obama. and the problem is. if the republicans can't win. and priebus will say this. if the republicans can't win in 2014 when everything is breaking their way. when they were fighting in red states, then in 16 all the senate fights are going to be on blue states, plus the presidential race. r is going to be especially ugly. >> yeah. let me get one other headline in here. officials are now confirming the first case of ebola to be contracted outside of west africa. a nurse in spain is in stable condition at a hospital this morning after testing positive for the deadly virus.
officials say she cares for two spanish priests who boelt died from ebola. the parents of ashoka mukpo said he's in good spirits after arriving in omaha for treatment. dr. nancy sneiderman and her team arrived in the united states and were checked by a health pishl upon ail rival. all are feeling well, in good health. they're deemed low risk but will are be be staying home and monitoring their temperature for the remainder of the 21-day period. and in dallas, the man being treated for the ebola virus remains in critical condition. we've learned thomas eric duncan is being given an experimental drug approved by the fda. president obama says his administration is working on increased screening for ebola. it comes as a new research poll finds nearly 60% of americans have a great or fair amount of
confidence the government could prooent an ebola outbreak in the u.s. but there's a sharp divide among parties. 69% of democrats share the confidence. 51% of republicans have little or no krz in the u.s. government in terms of how it could stop an outbreak. i think screening will be difficult. i don't know how they're going to do it. the it's not just about cutting off flights. >> willie, what do you make of the poll we just talked about? is this -- >> it looks like it's about president obama. it looks like just a blind referendum. it's strange that became a political question. >> i think it's a lot of things. obamacare, irs. a lot of things that made us think, do you guys do anything? >> i think democrats feel the same way. how is george w. bush handling the outbreak, yould see the numbers flip.
this becomes split call. zblf it's strange, isn't it? >> and the government at the local level versus the federal level. especially since president obama has been in office. that's not unusual, the broad trends. but it is strange around ebola. >> coming up on "morning joe." as the white house plans new airline screening procedures to minimize the threat of ebola, we'll look at how one key american city is handling the the crisis. plus, michael bloomberg gets knighted by the queen. but don't call him sir just yet. speaking of sir, he always wants us to call him that. he always wants him to call us -- what is that? can we say it on the air? >> yeah, he loves that. it's better than what you could have gone with, i guess. good morning, everyone. including joe and mika. blood moon. have you heard the term? we're going to have one later tonight. all it means is we get these lunar eclipses with pretty much
the full moon. we get the refraction of the light off the earth. because of the dust and the dirt. it looks ret oud there during the eclipse. this is going to happen tomorrow morning very early. if you're on the east coast, a lot of clouds. but around 5:15 to 8:15. the best viewing will be the west coast around 3:30 to 4:30 in the morning. the next one will happen in april. we get four of these in two years. that doesn't usually happen. e back to weather. i mentioned the clouds blocking the view of the lunar eclipse in the east. a large amount of clouds and rain to the east. heaviest rains are in h northern new england. a a batch over north carolina. and pretty good amount of showers and thunderstorms between memphis and cape gerardo on the mississippi river. that could clip the memphis area shortly. and in nashville, we have rain for you. and new york city, southern new
england, and coastal jersey a line of strong storms will go there. gusty winds could bring down trees and maybe an isolated tornado. very weird scenario for you. if you're west of the mississippi, you're looking rather nice today. the exception being arizona. we leave you with a shot. can you believe this? the rink is back. they're making the ice. getting ready for the holiday season. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back.

28 past the hour. the terror threat of isis is now at the doorstep of a top american ally in the middle east. the front page of the wall street journal shows islamic state militants planting their flag near syria's border with turkey. it follows fierce battles between kurdish and isis
fighters. it now appears they're poised to take control. meanwhile, an american teenager has been arrested after trying to board a connecting flight to turkey with the intent of sneaking into syria and fighting with isis. the 19-year-old left a handwritten three-page letter to his parents begging them not to alert the authorities, while saying, quote, we are all witness that the western societies are getting more immoral day by day. >> syria, obviously, still under siege by isis, and now turkey who sat back and done nothing. now they are having isis knock at their o doorstep. this is going to be a real wakeup call to our alliance with turkey and our relationship with turkey. isis is now on the turkish border. turkey is a member of nato. if the president and the turks need help, they have to go
through nato to get help. we'll see what happens there. it's a disgrace. it's just a disgrace. >> yeah. they are not a strong ally. we don't have a lot of strong allies. >> in other news this morning, the first person diagnoseded with the ebola virus in the united states remains in critical condition. thomas eric duncan is being treated with an experimental drug in dallas. it comes as texas republican governor rick perry is forming a 17-person task force to focus on the current ebola outbreak, and how the state responds to other infectious diseases. and president obama says his administration is now working on increased screening for ebola at airports here in the u.s. and overseas, but he is resisting calls to impose any travel restrictions. joining us now from dallas, the city's mayor, mike rawlings.
good to have you on the show. >> great to be here. i watch you all the time, so it's fun for me. >> thank you. that's great. >> tell us, mr. mayor. you've been talking about this quite some time about what happened. but tell us how the hospitals across dallas and across texas have changed since the mistake. >> well, i'll tell you, everybody was trained in august. we had this incident, which is a agreement hospital. my daughter was born there. i had a close friend that had a baby there this weekend. everybody has been retrained, doubled up, and they know everybody is overanalyzing the situation now. that's okay to make sure the hospitals don't miss anybody. and we've got all individuals that had contact with the patient, we're checking them twice a day.
and hopefully we'll find any symptoms before they get there. >> let me tell you about the the fear factor in dallas and the country. there's la lot of information out there about isis. how is that impacting or affecting the citizens of dallas? >> i assume you're talking about ebola, not isis. >> ebola, yeah. isis is scary, too. >> yeah, i was thinking about turkey. >> that's all right. i think we're calm. we're sitting on pins and needles. but we had an all-time hoping of our state fair over the last week. and 92,000 people showed up to the cowboys game. i went to a big oktoberfest. people are out and about. this is a great time to be in dallas. the weather is good.
i don't see any pulling back on that. folks are going to school. but we're serious. this is a very tough issue. but i think it's only the mean people creating some of this -- some of this fear. >> let's talk about the incubation period. this is the critical week, as you pointed out, where people who came in contact with thomas eric duncan could show any type of symptom ls. no one was showing any signs. but we had ten people who had contact with duncan who are considered high risk. so explain exactly what the monitoring process is for those ten people. well, basically each -- we've got a couple of dozen people tracking, around 48 people and we visit with them every day.
they look at the temperature. they ask how they're feeling. they look at them from a health standpoint and give them a little checkup. and so every morning i'll get a report. we have one today at noon. so it's turning over a big blackjack card when i get the report to make sure they're healthy. >> mayor mike rawlings, thank you for being on the show. thank you for watching. >> thank you, mr. mayor, we'll have to drop by in dallas next. >> please do. >> we're you're in new york, come on the show. >> i would love to. >> still ahead, barack obama says the economy is stronger than it ever has been during his presidency. we're going to fact check that with our powerhouse economic round table straight ahead. plus, why one of our panelists says crazy is a compliment. >> i'm with him.

>> any time people come with an idea and say it's crazy -- >> exactly, if they're not calling you crazy, you're not thinking big enough. >> i'm reading the new google book. he said things move so quickly. if you're not being called crazy every week or month, tyou're going to be left behind. >> we can do nothing and hope our jobs are safe, or we can take risks. the riskier strategy is to do nothing. the reason i wrote crazy is a compliment is to bottle up my experience working with a thousand entrepreneurs to help people who have a dream but are feeling scared or stuck and create a road map for helping them go guard. >> so brian, we have, in the united states of america, a congress and a political structure that is just the
opposite of crazy in the good way. we're not doing anything to move this economy forward. >> no, we're not. >> and we'll have the pleasure of all kinds of great people, successful people. they have nothing in common, except for one thing. they all have this amazing ability to take risks and believe in yourself. congress is all about consensus. either it's red state or blue state. somebody is going to have to zag. >> and they're scared of their own shadow. >> yes, they are. >> that comes because we have a rough time in the economy. wanes haven't moved. jobs were very hard to come by. we're getting a little bit of a change in the overall economy. >> we got about a quarter million net jobs created. a lot of those didn't go where
we needed them. they didn't go to women. they didn't go to younger people. i think one of the things we're proud of. they have nearly 200 employees today. >> did you just use starbuck as a verb? >> he did, didn't he? you're starbucking a nail salon. >> trying to transform something mundane. the 65,000 nail salons in this country. $8 billion reported. it's probably closer to $14 billion. we need professional standards. >> right now it seems like a lot of people are intrigued. that's amongst the highest in the last decade. it's not going to things more mundane. the service economy. the service economy. the independent workers.
>> and what i think i love is it's not just technology where entrepreneurship is thriving. most people starting businesses are women and baby boomers over 55. we just don't hear their stories. and your point, entrepreneurship is not just entrepreneurs anymore. we haul need the skills of change making. >> and what you're talking about cannot be outsourced. you cannot amazon -- can i use that has a a verb? you cannot amazon nail care. you need people. and we hear from both parties. that's not true. new businesses are job creators. and so, yesterday i talked to a neighbor. and asked how is paul simon?ç but it's a guy that has a business. he's a small business owner.
mom and pop shop. runs it out of his house. and i ask him what i always ask with restaurants and businesses in the town. >> they all say the same thing? this month was good. last month was bad. the month before was so-so. the month before was terrible. the month before was agreement. i'm hearing this from all small business owners. they can't make plans because it's um and down. we have a schizophrenic consumer. >> and your neighbor will continue to say that until we have real wage gains. >> if it goels down. >> this is the next election. >> one of the issues around there is we're so focused on the demand side and not supply side. and what we need to do is focus
on them. be focused with the authentic crazy person was self care. only then can you get the predictability of revenue. the problem is trying to focus on the profit and performance. you need to start with product. >> so linda, how do you describe the the schizophrenic economy? you have unemployment below 6%. and that's because people have given up looking for jobs. and chaos favors the entrepreneur. but entrepreneurs are not about the farm. we imagine them going all in. entrepreneurs are risk minimizeers. so three facts i point out in crazy is a compliment. number one, you don't have to go all in. 50 pk 50% of the fastest growing companies start with under $5,000. the best innovators keep their
day jobs while they're starting their ideas. the founder of nike did taxes for ten years. you need to balance between taking risks and doing risk. deal with chaos. >> people are scarred, right? they're scared, too. i'm not going to leave my job where i feel secure after what just happened to start a company. >> that's why sho many are 20-year-olds. if they fail, they're okay. if you're 40 with a couple of kids and a mortgage, you're not starting a business. i've known tony two years now. i can't imagine him being a nail man. thank you so much. tony, greatly appreciate it. >> thank you so much for coming in. and the book is crazy is a
compliment. much more "morning joe" ahead. [ female announcer ] we help make secure financial tomorrows a reality for over 19 million people.

it began as an act of defiance. a way to turn a tragedy into a symbol of hope. 26 playgrounds have been built to honor the 26 victims of the sandy hook elementary school shooting. each one uniquely celebrates the student or teacher who lost their lives. brian williams brings us that story from the site of 26th and final playground. >> reporter: on a startingly beautiful day, happy children swarmed all over the playground dedicated to the principal who died trying to protect her students at sandy hook elementary schooler inially two years ago now. after, there was raw emotion. a reading from a book that dawn loved to read to the children. it was led by one of her daughters. the young children don't understand why this playground
was built, but their faces remind us what it's meant for. >> it is amazing. all 26 of the memorial sandy hook playgrounds are now happy places. they're all scattered around the new york area in towns that also suffered damage from hurricane sandy. >> put my hands in. >> what is your favorite job to watch and favorite job to do yourself? >> my favorite job to do myself is probably the sidewalk. and my favorite job to watch is probably the panels they put on the playstand. >> reporter: and for the other families who lost someone at sandy hook, this project has held so much meaning. >> we became a family with all the firefighters.
>> our angels are looking down at us. looking wow. the final one. it's beautiful. >> the group blind this is a foundation called where angels play. they plan to coop doing this across the country in places where there's been tragedy. like boston, aurora, colorado, and moore, oklahoma. bill laven is the founder of the whole concept. he's a retired new jersey firefighter who told me on the job site last week it doesn't get more personal for him. >> if you close your eyes, can you see all 26? do they all have a special meaning to you? >> every single one has a miracle that has happened. they will work from dawn to dusk and then thank me for allowing them to do all that. but this is our blessing and privilege. >> this september will be two years since the sandy hook
shooting. two years since a disturbed individual was able to get his hands on three semiautomatic weapons. and nothing has been done in congress. and it's not done on the campaign trail with isis, ebola and stagnant wages in the headlines. it's easy for politicians to ignore it for some reason. polls show americans overwhelmingly support background checks on all gun sales. even gun owners support it by a wide margin. 89 to 9%. >> that's straight forward. you start talking about gun control and the numbers drop quickly. >> i'm not sure why gun control, though. it's just a background check. >> i don't know. george w. bush supported background checks. i don't know. mike? we talked about this before.
endlessly. the institutional indifference and lack of courage. it's so depressing. you look at the numbers as we just ind kalted. when you walk a street and talk to ordinary human beings, it's depressing our political institutions don't react. >> having said that, bill laven, the firefighter who came up with that idea. >> what a great idea. >> what a hopeful, beautiful person to find a way to celebrate as well as remember these people. and that was a great piece. that was really nice. >> it's a wonderful thing to do. >> up next, what if anything did we learn today?

"hardball" starts right now. >> hard in the desert. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. we are headed to ferguson tonight but i'm compelled with start with the president's powerful reaction to the beheading of american james foley by the islamist group torturing and killing the way through syria and iraq. >> let's be clear about isil. they have rampaged across cities
and villages, killing innocent unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence. they have abducted women and children and subject them to torture and rape and slavery. they have murdered muslims, sunni and shia, by the thousands. they target christians and religious minorities, driving them from their homes. murdering them when they can. for no other reason than they practice a different religion. so isil speaks for no religion. their victims are overwhelmingly muslim. and no faith teaches people to massacre innocence. no just god would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day. >> the die is cast. we want to make war against this
band of killers. do people say with barack obama said today, you will back and allow killers to run free. we just learned earlier this summer the president authorized, he did, an operation to attempt to rescue american citizens kidnapped by isil. howard, many people said today they had never heard obama like this, the president, personally. i don't know how he may have scent actual execution pictures, we don't know. we're not showing them. we don't have them. i don't want to show them. a lot of americans don't want it look at it. this guy was decapitated for no reason other than they want to hurt our country. >> chris, someone close to the president and e-mailed me, from the inside, they have never seen him like that. i certainly from the outside have never seen him like that. i have been covering him ever since i saw him run for senate in the united states. that is barack obama who is not
only shocked, but angry, and determined. the question of course now is, since we are already slowly but surely beginning to ramp up in that region once again, how that anger, how that focus, which none of us i don't think has seen before in public, how that translates into the reality of american involvement, the american military, and in america itself weary of war yet faced with something more gruesome and more vivid than we've ever seen on television and an enemy that knows social media, that knows propaganda in the modern way. that by some government estimates has $2 billion at its disposal. that has real territory and real proto government in the heart of the middle east. not in afghanistan, but in the heart of the middle east. >> watching that execution set-up we were just witness to, they like to push the button and have all of the people killed.
this will cause rage in this country to see the way they did this. here is more from the president today. see how you hear him. >> today the entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of jim foley by the terrorist group isil. jim was a journalist. a son. a brother. and a friend. he reported from difficult and dangerous places bearing witness to the lives of people a world away. he was taken hostage nearly two years ago in syria and he was courageously reporting at the time on the conflict there. jim was taken from us in an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world. >> no matter how we get into this, it is obama's war now. i think he is saying that now. he decapitated this guy on tape to get even with him for starting the were on isis. we have at least one other
person kidnapped. another journalist. they are going to toy with that situation for a while. >> they basically said in so many words that he's next if the president doesn't call off the very limited really offensive that we have mostly from the air in iraq to prevent them from taking control of rifrvers and dams an water facilities. which is one of the methods these people use it gain territory. the message here, chris, the war that we fought a decade ago has produced a more veermt strain of everything we were trying to destroy. now the president, rightly criticized our first war, now has to deal with the consequences that may result in some kind of second one. the definition of which we don't know yet. >> a pain in the butt secular government, no real threat to the world, now fighting an islamic terrorist group which
somehow fed out of this situation. >> that's what i said. i think the president and i think history will show, that president obama was right to oppose the first war as a candidate, coming up and as presidential candidate. but now as president in the last two years of his second term, he has it deal with much more con consequences than he or anybody, including our people, thought would happen. they didn't tell me how bad this was getting this fast, he was blind-sided. if that's true, that's problem in and of itself. when we went in on this mission, when the president authorized the mission in syria to try to rescue american citizens, it turns out the intelligence was bad. the americans were not aware the pentagon was told they were. that's the situation. >> couldn't save them anyway. president obama said americans
will be protect ped. le let's listen to the defensive step he is taking. >> the united states of america will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. we will be vigilant and relentless. when people harm americans anywhere, we do what's necessary to see that justice is done and we act against isil standing along side others. >> i don't know why i use the word justice. this is not appropriate here. this is an attack on our country. we have to react to it. this is this country versus a group that declared war on us. i don't know why word used like we are going to a world court with this. >> especially since he previously in the same statement basically depicted them as killers who -- cold-blooded killers-tsh. >> they all belong in this. >> the question, chris, is the
president, and not in this vehement way, drawn lines in the sand and made verbal commitments before. this president acting this way has to follow through, intangible ways, or consequences for him politically and for the united states frankly, are probably going to be dire. and that's the problem he faces. this is not what he wanted. >> no. >> but he today do it. he did it forcefully today. the question is now what comes next. >> let's bring in andrea mitchell. chief correspondent for nbc news and host of "andrea mitchell reports." andrea, you are so schooled in this. this seems like a new situation. president of the united states called out by the enemy, isil here, saying, look, unless you stand back, stand down, stop attacking us, we will keep beheading americans. this is very personal stuff right now. >> to show you how committed he was to try to rescue james foley
and the other americans, what the pentagon released is that there was a rescue mission earlier this summer with shades of what happened all the way back in the carter years, with failed rescue. they sent in fighter jets and helicopters that landed in northern syria thinking they could rescue the westerners. and we know there were several americans involved. and it failed. there was heavy fighting with isis fighters. and one american pilot was injured in the failed rescue mission. they shows how much the u.s. military and white house has been focussing on this. >> can we decapitate isis? this issius now. such an islamic group. so zealous. it is killing christians. jews, anybody they can get their hands on that's not the kind of
sunni they like. they are killing them. how do you stop them without killing these people we are looking at marching around with the masks on? and why are they wearing masks if they think they are going to win? that's a question i always have with these people. your thoughts? >> the fear has been that isis is different from al qaeda that isis want to control territory. want to rule. that they've been trading some small amounts of oil. dealing as a sovereign state. what we have seen with the effective air power in iraq the last couple of woeeeks that the have been pushed back from mosul. they did lose control of the dam. with more defeats like that, they can be put back on their heels. there is another school of thought they aren't nearly as powerful and not as fearful as has been suggested by what they do to be terrorists, they do horrific things on video, and that is partly how they inspire
fear in people. >> andrea, one of the arguments made, the only way to get rid of these groups is to be done by islamic people themselves. are we going to have people willing to ealmost nate isis, go in there and get rid of these people. sunnis, larger community for example. perhaps in coalition with the kurds and reasonable shiites, go after them. >> that's been the hope. that's what president alluded to today, that middle eastern communities have to rise up, jordan, lebanon, the whole region could be threatened. the criticism has been of the quataris and others, when they were the best fighters in syria, that be careful what you wish for. now they have become the cancer president obama was describing today. >> let me go back to howard fineman and the president here. the president has been the dove. now you good to the case where
they declare war on us. behead them. not just a public insult but a desecration. and the president of the united states knows they did it to him because they went after him. how do you stop what is a mano a mano struggle between this president and an obama war against isil. i don't see it stopping. >> i think the president doesn't think in mano a mano terms. he likes to think of himself. i know he thinks of himself, as a broad-gauged deep guy who plays a long term game. has allies, has a plan. doesn't take it personally. this is the first time i've ever seen him sort of take something personally. >> it is aimed at him. >> chris, there is a school of thought. and some of our people are looking into this. there is a school of thought that says this is exactly what isil want. they want us to engage them. they want us to attack.
their theory is to push our buttons. >> well, we can help them out. >> that's the concern and conundrum -- >> what i've been saying to andrea for a long time now. no american president can survive the nuclear weapons and no american president can survive letting americans be headed on international television with impunity. he has to strike back. as an american. it's in our soul. your thoughts. >> that's exactly what he was saying today. he proved in the past we do go after terrorists. bin laden of course, case in point. there have been other big successes. so the failed rescue mission is not the last. we had assumed and correctly they wouldn't go into syria. wouldn't go on to syrian territory and that was incorrect. they were under operational security doing exactly that and they didn't know where these guys were. they thought they knew because they had been debriefing the french hostages who were released in rape ril.
and they, by the way, released by being ransomed. their government denied it. but they are intermediaries. everyone but the brits and americans were released starting in april. the trickle of others, the danes, spanish, they all got out. except for our people. and that's because we don't pay ransom. >> may god take the soul of james foley. and i mean it. this serious personal stuff. this is about killing good people. thank you andrea. thank you, howard fineman. today, attorney general her eric holder came to ferguson. can attorney general holder assure an angry community that brown's death will be investigated fairly and justly? that the name of the game here. plus, how do you break the cycle of vicious hopelessness, crime and fear.
here is one solution, jobs. good jobs. and dignity and respect that comes with a job. isn't it time president obama insistinsist the government of united states put people to work in this country? and one of the most mellow dramatic stories in the country in a virginia courtroom. bob mcculloch has taken the stand in his corruption trial. his strategy, make his wife the culprit. a reminder of what the gol needs to be in ferguson. true justice. this is "hardball," the place for politics. true justice. this is "hardball," the place for politics. needs to be in fer. true justice. this is "hardball," the place for politics.

welcome back to "hardball." attorney general eric holder arrived if ferguson missouri today meeting with community leaders and family of michael brown. he got an update on the case from fbi agents and federal prosecutors. according to the associated press, while meeting with student at a community college in the area, the attorney general told the group change is coming. he was talking about general relations between the community and local police. attorney general holder spoke broefly with capital ron johnson. who is in charge of security in ferguson. he told him quote, you are the man. attorney general said holder's visit is important for the community. >> i think it will show the people of ferguson, people of st. louis, people of our nation that their voices are heard. >> mean while a grand jury began hearing evidence in the case. prosecutors caution it could be
months before there's any decision on whether to indict the officer darren wilson. some good news tonight. last night saw relative calm on the streets of ferguson. no tear gas used. no molotov cocktails thrown. no shootings. 51 arrests, however mostly for file you're to disperse. people were told to keep moving and didn't. down from 78 people arrested the night before. craig mel sin is there, as he has been so well for all these days. craig, give us a sense of last night. the numbers are 778 down to 47. sounds like things are improving, at least over the last 24 hours. >>. >> reporter: chris, if this is any indication of tonight, i think we will have relative calm. we with have another vantage point. i can show you the scene of this main drag of ferguson. there have been times over the past few days and you've seen that shot, where the streets have been pretty full already.
this is the smallest crowd. this is the quietest crowd we have seen so far. in addition to that, the police presence also the smallest we've seen so far. again, it is obviously early. sun is still up and things can change. based on what we saw last night, looks like we are in for another peaceful night. in fact, it has been eerily quiet over the past, i would say, hour or two. we will see whether that remeans the case. there has been talk that attorney general holder might head to this area after the meeting that you just mentioned with the congressional delegation and meeting with michael brown's family. at this is point, no word on whether the attorney general will be here. >> there was great video shot by protesters. you can see a police officer pointing his semiautomatic at protesters. and he yells at one protester, i
will kill you. i will kill you, he said. the officer refused to give his name. another officer came by and got him to put his gun down. today the st. louis police department said the officers involved with the semiautomatic weapon las been removed from duty and suspended indefinitely. what's the impact of that story as it makes the round? >> here's the thing. you just cleaned that up, too. there was an expletive or two used that we can't say on cable, that happened shortly before cable. semiautomatic rifle. that officer we should note is from st. ann's, a neighboring jurisdiction. we've been talking about the relative peace, relative calm, but if you get out in the crowd and talk to individual protesters, and some of them, they don't have stories that are that extreme but they will tell that you they have, folks who have been out here night after night, they will tell you they have been talked to by police, by law enforcement in ways that
aren't nice. especially when the sun goes down. what is shocking about that is that it was caught on camera. that is not the first time something like that has likely happened here in ferguson over the past few days. that's the first time we have seen it. >> thank you, very much, craig. we will be back with you regularly. you're a great reporter to have out there. joining us right now from san francisco, paul let me ask you about this role. it is hard to read everyone's mind, coming out of their houses after dinner to see what is going on. a hell of an attraction, even if you are dispassionate. and everybody is passionate out there. people want to be noticed. in the good sense. as individual human beings and not dismissed and ignore ped. when a guy's body is laying on the street for five hours, they get the impression we aren't taken as human beings out here.
when you hear the attorney general of the united states in town thinking about whether he will substitute for the local prosecutor, some new form of prosecution, special prosecutor, does that get into the minds of people, generally, do you think? >> it does generally. but it doesn't answer all of the questions and all of the concerns the community is feeling and having the lack of representation with elected officiales with law enforcement and quite frankly, their representation with this grand jury. there is notoriously underrepresented. >> this is a real ush u. >> explain how that happens. if the county is 30% whiter, 30% minority, how do you pick a grand jury? >> they can be done in different ways in different cities. a lot of time those people are volunteers. i know here in california, i speak to many community groups getting people to volunteer and stressing the need to have more
minority representation from the disenfranchised community. i don't know what grand jury looks like but these are concerns we are hearing on the streets as we talk to people about why they are distrustful or not confident that the justice system is going to represent them well in spite of what is going on. we know eric holder is out there. i think that's great. he is showing outstanding leadership here. and that is helping people to feel a some sense of relief that there is a federal review that's going on to address some of their concerns. what holder is doing and what the federal jurisdiction is doing is reviewing the police department to see if possibly there are some civil rights violations in association with that specific police department. and also an independent investigation to determine whether or not criminal charges can be brought against officer wilson. so that does help and does speak
to the concerns that community is expressing an outrage over, over this entire process as it's unfolding in front of us. >> according to "the new york times," witnesses have given very different accounts of how it happened. some disagree on how it started with the struggle between the officer and teen-ager himself michael brown. some say the officer fired his weapon as michael brown was running away. witnesses give investigator sharply different accounts of the killing. some say, michael brown, 18 at the time, moved toward the officer when he was shot down. others say he was not moving and even had his hands up when he kass killed. it'll me what it is like for the grand jury when people come in with different views. they may have different views of the police opposed to civilians.
how do they know the difference between one statement compared to others. >> often times they evaluate testimony just like a jury evaluate evidence and testimony. one of the interesting things about a grand jury is that they hear hearsay evidence. often times they are unable to see the actual witnesses. i would presume in a case like this, the prosecutors would like to get those actual witnesses in front of that grand jury so they can see and hear them to estimate and judge their demeanor because they will get conflicting stories. we heard the con flinflicting stories. one of the interesting things of this process in missouri is that a defendant and officer wilson is allowed to come and testimony in front of them. that can be influential in front of a panel that is in an indictment. it'll be interesting to see what
prosecutors put in front of that grand jury. and that's part of the reason this process is taking so long because there are so many different reports. and keep in mind, we have these separate investigations going on concurrently so while police are canvassing and collecting this information, they are also talking to separate witnesses that saw or heard things about this incident and they want to present as much of that information as possible to this grand jury so that they have evaluated all of the information that prosecutors have on hand before they make a decision. >> paul wab this is "hardball," so i will cut through this a bit. how often does does a grand jury go against what a prosecutor says? do they say, oh, no, we see criminality, we want a trial in court. >> often times they -- they do have conflict. they don't have a lot of conflicts, what i think is particularly of note in this
situation. and actually if every situation where you have a grand jury, this is not the final step. because even if they grand jury comes back and they tell us there is no indictment, there are no constitutional protections for double jeopardy. so there still could be charges and indictment by the federal government as well. that actually does change things. but that grand jury isn't necessarily just going to follow as a knee jerk reaction what prosecutors present to them. although it obviously is very influential. >> i think someone once said, you can get a grand jury to indict a bologna sandwich. >> i have heard that. but not all grand juries want to indict a ham sandwich or bologna sandwich. you still have to do your due diligence. you still have to present a case. you still have to present them with evidence. because they do ask questions often times. they can come back and say there's nothing there that they don't think a crime has been committed and in this case, i believe that the grand jury will
be very much influenced by hearing that officer talking to them and telling his version of the story especially when it's compared against conflicting stories that are coming from the community. we just don't know exactly if we are going to have live witnesses or summations of report. and like i said, because we can accept hearsay evidence we're not sure what prosecutors will present to this grand jury specifically. >> you are a great guest to have on "hardball" tonight. thank you. we needed that richness and background. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> up next, protestes from ferguson. peaceful so far. as craig melvin said. but the big question, will it get violent again tonight like it has in the past p. this is "hardball," a place for politics.

i'm milissa rehberger, here is what is happening. airstrikes rezuks a day after talks have failed. at least 20 people have died in the latest raids. no casualties are reported in israel. the supreme court blocked
same-sex couples from marrying in virginia. this while the issue is being appealed to the high court and an appeals court struck down the state's ban on gay marriages last month. back to "hardball." back to "hardball" now. more on the situation in in ferguson, missouri. michael brown's death has ignited a fire which raced for 12 days now. in times violently, of course. as eugene washington writes in the washington post, there is a quote sense of being left behind. the poverty rate in ferguson is more than double since the year 2000 since the community has gone from 3/4 white to 2/3 black. more than half of the 46 million americans living in poverty live in the inner suburbs. breeding deep seeded unfairness and injustice. we are seeing it in ferguson. no wonder racial tensions can
set them ablaze. as eugene wrote, the fire this time is about invisibility. brown had no police record. he graduated hospital. given where he had come from, it is hard to do better an easy to do a lot worse. now that streets are filled with rage and rioting must be strongly condemned we can see brown's struggle at least after the smokes clear we will be blind once again. so much for that. how can we fix the problem? well, how about jobs. eugene robinson joins with us congresswoman karen bass, from california, whose district is at the site of the 1992 rodney king riots in los angeles. thank you. i want to start with eugene, congresswoman, because he has been writing about this so well. give us a sense, then respond congresswoman, if you had a congress that believed in action and creating jobs and taking these kids who are 18 years old, regular kids, regular kids, maybe troubled but regular, how do you help them find a career
in this country? >> you know, there's no one sort of magic remedy that -- or one thing that you can do to have guaranteed success. it takes a more holistic approach. there are lots of factors involved. education, employment, transportation, housing, health. a lot of things. one idea i had actually is you know, you've got to have jobs. where are the blue collar jobs that generations use. >> we were comparing notes about people who live if big cities. two generations ago for sure. maybe one. you could come out of high school with a c or b average. get a job at the plant and provide for a family. >> exactly. >> and you have job security and good wage. you can send your kids to college. and you would have a pension when you retire. >> and now? >> now those jobs don't exist. that's a fairy tale. it doesn't happen. especially doesn't happen in impoverished and increasingly forgotten neighborhood possess. let's have an infusion of capital. where is it going to come from? one idea i have is you've got
these hundreds of billions of dollars corporations are keeping overseas. why not a tax holiday for bringing that money back in you invest it in communities like these that need that investment. >> congresswoman, your thoughts. i know you people on hill, especially the caucus, which is the nickname for the black caucus of course, worry about this stuff. but the humphrey hawkins bill comes out, different budget bill coming out for the black caucus. the reality that gene talks about. the only business plan is the drug dealer coming down the street saying i have a neighborhood for you to cover. that an awful way to put it. but who else is coming down the street for a plan for you if you're a young kid. >> you're right in terms of the congressional black caucus has a jobs plan that they've put forward every year. every year we put forward alternative to the budget. but if we had that dream world where both houses of congress being with democrats, first thing we would do is to pass the president's jobs plan. of which he had that would have
directly impacted the inner city. there were proposals in there for job training. proposals to rehab houses. if we look at it, we know that infrastructure is one of the first places to go. but there's other things that have to happen too. and all the years that we incarcerate sewed many people, you know, we've blocked people from employment by banning employment if you have a felony or record. if you look at the arrest record, not only are there not jobs right now but a lot might be prohibited if they are working jobs. >> marion berry, a lot of people have mixed feelings of him. but one thing he did was give kids summer jobs. you wouldn't hang around convenient stores shoplifting if you have an income and you're proud of yourselves snpz the summer jobs program had a huge impact in d.c. a lot of people say, that was my first job.
marion berry gave me my first job. >> gave me my first job. >> really? tell us about it. >> i got a job with ceda. my first job not with the anniversary on the war on poverty we talked to members of congress and there were a lot of us that got our first jobs through those programs. that's a perfect example of what we can do now. >> what if congress would come back and give a passioned speech, which i'm sure you can do, about this case. let's not talk about the police that's part of the problem. let's not talk about the justice, that's up to the jury. but let's talk about it economically. kids grow up in the economically wrong neighborhoods. do not have a break coming to them. >> right. absolutely. you know what, i have no problem making that impassioned speech. bun thing i believe we will do is that we will have a special order hour where you know we can
speak on the floor after votes on the monday when we get back. the congressional black caucus does that fairly routinely. but there is a lot that we can do. as you know, los angeles went through this 22 years ago, you have theunder are lying bent up rage that happens in the cities and then have you a spark that ignites it and you have ferguson today. >> let's get back to the president. the congresswoman says the bill has a bill. i've never been impress bed it. it doesn't seem to be macro economic big time enough. you have to ask for what you want. i tell young kids, ask for what you want. they will give you what they can give you. ask for what you want. i don't think there's enough there. >> i'm with you on the theory, you don't ask for nothing, you don't get nothing. that's the way of the world. >> you ask for a penny, they won't give you two pennies. >> you go big and ask for what you can get.
>> white people got a lot of jobs from the government. and the ccc and nra. compared to the minority community today. and they got jobs. and nobody complained. everybody wanted those jobs. >> the sad thing is, we know our infrastructure is crumbling all across the country. in los angeles we add major water break at ucla. there is so much we could be doing if the political will was there. >> you ought to ride the roads of washington more, like i do. it feels like you're on a bug board. thank you so much congresswoman. and thank you gene for writing so well for us. up next, former virginia governor from the blind to the ridiculous. get to the corruption trial. he is blaming his wife. part of the soap opera defense. exposing the personal details of what he claims to be, claims to be a troubled marriage. this is "hardball," a place for politics. de of.

in what defense attorneys said would be the centerpiece of their case, bob mcdonnell took the stand in his own defense in his corruption trial in richmond, virginia. prosecutors tried to convince the jurors that he and his wife
tried to exchange gifts for wheeling and dealing. if convicted of those charges, the couple could face a minimum of 30 years in prison many in today's defense, the strategy appears to be this. show that his wife unhappiness and their broken marriage itself was proof that the former virginia governor and his first lady didn't work together to squeeze money from a wealthy businessman. mcdonnell testified his wife wasn't so happy when he was elected governor, was tense at being first lady and yelled at him the very next morning after wing the election. mcdonald testified on the hardships of running for office and the emotional and fine toll it can take on a family. for more of what happened in court today -- robert, first of all, the defense, no this wasn't bribery, we weren't taking these watches and all these trips and rides and all that stuff. we weren't doing that because we wanted to. we were doing that because my wife had a crush on this guy.
she wanted to spend time with him. she was spending time so she could spend time. now it seems to me my wife's hysterical. what's the defense? >> i think the idea is, she starts out hysterical, and she's not ready for prime time. she's not ready to be the first lady of virginia, she's worried about what she's going to wear and doesn't feel like she's up to it. later, we'll hear this tomorrow, when he talks more about the marriage, mcdonnell talks more about the marriage, tomorrow we'll hear about how they grew apart and she was supposedly doing all this wheeling and dealing behind the scenes with this businessman and he supposedly didn't know anything about it. >> i'm trying to cut through this from the rational to the irrational, there is a rational explanation of why a woman who's just become first lady would argue when she has the big inaugural ball every tv camera is watching her, and she shows up in a dress she's been wearing for ten years, there is that
concern that she had something special for the occasion opinion. >> they didn't have the money, they were $70,000 in credit card debt. she was disappointed that his salary in public service hadn't been so high, and they had these debts that we now learned about from the real estate investments that had gone bad, and i think she was worried, clearly about cutting the right figure and dressing right, and acting right. on the big stage in the executive mansion. >> let's cut to the chase in terms of how this case will be decided. will it not be decided by a jury that's watching all of this stuff? the hogwash and the reality and everything else? was this guy paid off? >> yeah, i think -- >> did he do something because they were giving him money and watches or did he just say fine i'll take that stuff from you, but i'm still going to be a good governor? >> he's emphasizing he didn't
give anything out of the ordinary to johnny williams. i think this whole strategy is a big gamble. he's trying to come across as mr. upright. mr. straight shooter. he had a priest testify today who had been his college roommate at notre dame, came in and testified about what an upright guy he was, that's half the case. the other half they're systematically tearing down the reputation of his wife. that doesn't look good, and i think those two things are sort of intentioned with each other, and i wonder how the jury's going to make sense out of it. >> you can argue, what else was he going to say? >> this is it. he con the say, i didn't take the watch, they have to picture him with the watch, the clothes and all this stuff was accepted. stipulated at will. >> this may be, clearly they think this is the best defense they've got. i don't feel like the two halves hang together. >> are you going to believe me or your lying eyes.

if you're waiting for me to act the role of d.a., judge or juror, keep waiting, i don't have the authority. it will be difficult enough finding the truth through what appears to be conflicting accounts. finding the facts of the case,

>> for surveillance flights. drones overseeria to gather intelligence on what is going on. the administration, we are going to take a look at all of the flip-flopping right now. because last thursday we actually heard this is more serious, that this was terror times two. we understood that this could effect the western world in a way that we haven't seen before. all of a sudden the president returns from vacation and yesterday we heard a very different story about isil. >> we were hoping the president would come out with a hard core plan for the way forward. he decides if we attack isis we have to start where the headquarters are in syria. to do that we have to get intelligence on the ground. a little disturbing we don't have any. so he is telling everybody we are going over with drones to take a look at where to hit. among the people upset by this
is the free syrian army. if they are saying you are just going to hit us once in a while and try to contain it you are tickling isis and doing more harm than good. >> you talk about the flip-flops with the administration. to your point it goes back last week when general dempsey was talking apocalyptic terms about how bad isis was. if we are going to get rid of them we have to go over there. then somebody must have gotten to general dempsy because he said it is really just kind of a regional threat. regional? really? >> the president of the united states has described it as a cancer which is funny because back in january when he was talking to the new yorker magazine he referred to that organization that wants to fly the black flag over the white house as the jv team. josh earnest, the president's spokesperson was asked about it
yesterday, that gaff the president made in january. he did his best to try to untangle the president. >> the president was not singling out isil. he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attacking the west or the united states. that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al qaeda network led by osama bin laden. >> that is such a load because david remnic asked the president specifically about isis. >> and he did and he talked about that. i remember when george bush said bring it on to what was left of the dead enders and he said i shouldn't have said that. that is wrong. the administration now to pretend as if they didn't call isis the jv while they flew the black flag is wrong. it is a relative insult to people who are paying attention,
which i imagine is you. the president of the united states has to look at this group, this group bringing in $2 million a day in oil revenue alone and in extortion in various points saying how do we contain them. >> in addition to that a state department official concluded 1,000 americans joined the forces such as isil. we had an american beheaded across the world globally on the web and witnessed what their intentions are. when you hear that reference back in january to these groups, isis, as j.v. it is insulting. right now colonel west said it is completely idiotic. >> when i listened to those comments made by josh earnest those were inane, incoherent,
incompetent. what josh earnest is doing and the obama administration is trying to relegate and define isis in a term or ideology that fits in their national security strategy so they don't have to take an action. >> we have found out in the after math in our operation in libya where we led from behind and had no plan afterwards egypt and the the uae have conducted air strikes in libya because extremists have taken over the airport. uae and egypt see this as a threat and conducted air strikes in the region and didn't even tell us. >> you know why they didn't tell us? they can't trust us. that's the problem. >> i get that. here is the thing. do you trust your government? because we have heard that louis
lerner who apologized at the irs they illegally targeted conservative groups and tea party groups. people tried to get her e-mail to make sure there wasn't coordination with the white house. it was revealed her e-mails were destroyed because there was a problem with the hard drive. people came out of the woodwork to explain away the problem. listen to this. >> the actual hard drive after it was determined it was dysfunctional and with experts no e-mails could be retrieved. >> was it physically destroyed? >> that is my understanding? >> because there was a computer crash? 67,000 e-mails provided to congress. 24,000 have come from this period during which her hard drive crashed and in which those e-mails were lost. >> in april determined that, in fact, there had been a hard drive crash and some e-mails may
have been lost our next step was to investigate how many e-mails did we have and could we find. >> so they are very clear there all of her e-mails gone. as it turns out judicial watch which has filed some freedom of information lawsuits against the irs were told by government attorneys on friday there is some backup system that keeps everything. it's in the end of days thing where if you need the continuity of government there is a copy of it somewhere. there is a copy. >> as the law dictates. >> it's just too hard to get so we are not going to try. what? >> everything we have been hearing about scratched hard drives and missing e-mails with lois lerner and other irs officials and other officials in the obama administration has been a pack of malarkey. they can get the records but they don't want to. they haven't told anyone about
it frankly until we were able to get it out of them on friday. >> just to be clear. there were backup tapes but too costly to retrieve and we are not sure if they are there. this is pretty much the same thing. who are we writing the checks to? if we can't retrieve it how much does it cost. is it in a vault? is it a trip? >> what did you know? when did kroun it? let's start from the beginning here and get to the truth on how this all started. >> the administration says there is no new backup system describes to judicial watch. do you believe that? did you see ansly this

in the back of me was burning. and then there was a big explosion. and it was really, really burning. they told me half of your place is gone. >> so everybody there having to figure out what to do and get their life back on track now and how to sort through the pieces as well as the small business owners we will be talking with the folks here. we will bring more of that to you in a bit. >> absolutely heartbreaking. live in napa. coming up on this tuesday, the president slams the use of enhanced irrigation. as the isis threat gets worse is it time to use them again? the cia official who ran the program under george w. bush is here live next. and a proposal so big it is catching the attention of police. the couple behind the incredible

...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. 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.

>> before i came into office i was very clear that in the immediate after math of 9/11 we did some things that were wrong. we did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. we did some things that were contrary to our values. >> that is the president's opinion that we tortured some folks. with enhanced interrogation techniques would it help us now. joining us now a man who defends the use of the techniques, the former head of the cia's clandestine service. your response to the president's characterization of what you did? >> i take tremendous exception to what the president said. it is very disturbing and it is not true.
as i have explained many times all of those techniques were approved by the president, authorized by the president, president bush at the time were certified as legal and were briefed to the congress. so when the president comes out and accuses cia officers of torture it creates tremendous problems for all of us. and we take tremendous exception. >> so would you say -- obviously you did everything right. you did what you were supposed to do and got tremendous intelligence out of it. now, with isis, this organization everyone says is as bad if not worse in al qaeda who beheaded a journalist from being a journalist, would you think some of these techniques would be effective in maximizing intelligence opportunities? >> yes, isis is a dangerous and evil organization that has no
problems beheading american citizens. mark my words, if we don't go after them, they will come after us here at home and try to kill us and terirorize us. we have to go after them. i don't think the enhanced interrogation program should be used against them. the reason why is because in the spring of 2009 president obama decided to release the legal justifications for the use of the techniques. he declassified it and released it to the world. and this document provided the details of the program and also the legal options available to us to undertake the program. so basically we have given away

important study. 8.5 to 9 hours. the new logo is let them sleep. what they found was about 20% of our teenagers are getting that number of sleep. we have a lot of accidents the next day. they are not functioning well both physical and mentally. memories are not functioning well as a result of not enough sleep. most of them are going to bed around 11:00 distracted by computers, ipads, facebooks and twitter. next day they are taking a nap and not doing so well in school. this is a new finding. >> the demand on them is high and the pressure to get into college and many holding down a job, homework, accounts to -- activities to build a resume before a resume. one study found a 70% drop in car crashes involving teens
driving after. when they push the school date back they found kids are safer on the road. that is a huge number. 70%. >> that is a big number. >> it's a huge finding. that is why they are emphasizing this. also as a physician i will tell you that lack of sleep leads to obesity. your cortisone level is all out of sync. risk of heart attack and diabetes. overall this will help us in a big way. there are also behavioral changes. you don't want to workout right before sleep. you don't want to take a lot of caffeine and energy drinks before you go to bed. make sure you go to bed at the same time and wake up the next morning at the same time so you have a system down. make the bedroom comfortable it them. >> phones and things like that should go off? how early before bed? a half hour before you want to go to sleep? >> at least about an hour or so. interesting finding.

circumstances. if you are in a bad section and have to worry about going outside your house it is an issue. in suburban america or cities without a high crime rate, just normal every day things i think it is a bad message. you scare the heck out of kids thinking you walk out and get kidnapped. i can't go in the park, parents paranoid. >> with everyone's head down into their device you don't necessarily feel that everyone has that neighborhood watch over the kids. when i grew up everyone was watching. elizabeth was doing this. people telling my mom what i did all day long. >> you were a bad kid for a while. >> the irony is all of us played in the park alone when we were in kindergarten. now we are all parents. there are so many helicopter parents who don't let the kids out of their sight and then scare them where they say you have to be careful. if you know your neighborhood. if your kid has a cell phone

our next guest says we dodged a bullet and the worst is still to come. here now is associate director at u.s. geological survey. >> we dodged a bullet i understand you told one of our producers. what are you talking about? >> a couple of different things. one is that this earthquake ruptured and began in the south and ruptured up to the north. so a lot of the energy was directed away from some of the most populated areas and particularly some of the soils, the california bay delta which is a major source of water for californians. a lot of levees are susceptible to liquid faction failure. the energy was directed up towards napa. of course, we saw what happened with the buildings there. you also saw a lot of sidewalks where there was rubble. this was in the middle of the night. we saw no fatalities. we are very grateful for that.
that is part of a factor. it was 3:00 in the morning. if it were a different time of the day we would have seen fatalities. >> it is interesting you talk about how thankfully the energy was directed to the north. had it been to the south that could have been much worse. automatically when people think about big california fault lines they think of the san andreas fault. this particular fault that had the earthquake the other day was the west napa fault. it kind of runs parallel to the big one, right sth. >> that's right. the san andreas is a system of faults. they are taking up movement all the time. about the speed the fingernails are growing. moves against north american plate. since we are talking about rocks even though plates may be moving slowly the rocks themselves get jammed up. pressure builds up and they fail. there is a whole sequence of
faults in the bay area that have the potential for building up strength and have the potential for a major damaging earthquake. >> and there is an image that shows 63%. put on your professor hat for just a second. what is a straight slip? >> there is essentially three ways that these plates can be interacting. one is that they are pressing against one another and you get for example subduction zones around the ring of fire in the pacific. where they are diving down against the other. you can get them pulling apart or have them moving side to side. that is what happens in the case of the san andreas system. it is what we call a strike-slip fault. it moves to the right or the left. it is accommodating that kind of a movement. >> very informative stuff. we thank you very much. i think people watching may have
got two hours of college credit. that was really good. folks, you know what a strike-slip is. >> thank you, david. burger king may be forced to leave the united states because they say their corporate taxes are too high. one democrat slamming the move. how about criticizing shouldn't our ridiculously high rates be the focus. for two years this 12 year old running a lemonade stand to help pay the bills. why is one neighbor trying to shut him down? that young entrepreneur here live next. ♪ ♪

on what these man asked unmanned aircraft see, the next move could be air strikes. >> we've been looking at syria from across the border with very high altitude observation for a long time. now he's given permission to fly drones over syria. this is a step props of increasing surveillance and reconnaissance over time, gather the information, find the targets and eventually i'll guarantee you, we're going to start bombing them. >> reporter: a syrian government official is warning the white house not to start air strikes unless their president, al assad, gives the okay. the obama administration says they may not ask permission. kind of like when they decided to go after bin laden in pakistan without giving anyone a heads up. >> i'm not going to get ahead of decision making that the president hasn't made yet or rule any option on our off the table, but we're not going to be restricted by borders. we're actively considering
what's going to be necessary to deal with this threat. we're certainly working with a range of partners in the region as we coordinate those efforts. >> reporter: there is a debate about how much of a threat isis really is. the white house says they don't know of any active isis plots against the u.s. homeland, but the house intel committee chairman mike rogers concerned with all the westerners getting involved with militants said this weekend, isis fighters are one plane ticket away from u.s. shores. back to you in new york. >> all right. thank you very much. it seems like the debate as well is going on between the white house and the pentagon. last week the pentagon, you got the joint chiefs chair, general dempsey, he said that the only way to take out isis is to go over to syria. couple days later, he walks it back. he says, you know what? it's really just kind of a regional threat. what happened? why did he flip flop? ralph peters has an idea.
>> took hem out behind the wood shed and for an extended period. general dempsey committed the greatest sin you can commit in the obama administration last week. he told the truth. and that just doesn't go with them being a jv team or the administration's narrative. he and secretary hagel were right, president obama would have to do something. with a wave of the president's magic golf club, suddenly within back to, where, it's not an immediate threat. >> so the question is, what would he be doing? so if we do start bombing there, we are technically helping assad who is our enemy and has done nothing for the last 15 years in that region but make life miserable for us and indirectly responsible for the loss of american lives. among the people who are critical of us taking action if it's just willie nilly and without a plan is the free syrian army who have been let down. they say we have not done anything we said we were going to do and that by doing what we
said we're going to do now, it would be like tickling them. >> it seems confusing at the border. -- that the border seems so administration to the administration, but our own border here does not. right now this imminent threat, there is no denying it. an american was beheaded and it went across the web waves like wild with a message from isis and their intentions to drown us in blood. we actually spoke with the former head of the c.i.a. rodriguez, and he said that if we don't do something, isis will sure do it. they'll do it right here in our soil. >> isis is a dangerous and evil organization that has no problems beheading american citizens and mark my words, if we don't go after them, they will come after us here at home and try to kill us and terrorize us. so we have to go after them. >> he handed up the clandestine
service. he knows it. what's interesting is the fact with this break news that -- apparently the white house authorized the flying of drones over syria. we weren't doing it before. isis has been over there for a long time and the fact that just now we're finding out that we're going back because the president didn't want to cross that international border? that is crazy. >> right. he said there was no dissemination. it was a fallacy to think we could just arm a small section of the anti-assad forces. we put in a request for $580 million to arm them and now we're looking to blow up isis to empower them, so something doesn't gel here. yet what's staggering is we still don't have a comprehensive plan. >> most people are praying we don't see a double bogey when it comes to syria with this administration. >> we've got another breaking news story. the iconic line from "jaws," we're going to need a bigger boat, left on this shore line as beach goers are warned of a great white shark in
massachusetts. leah gabriel joins us with the latest details. >> good morning. beach goers in massachusetts clearing the water on a beautiful sunny day after an unexpected visitor shows up. this massive great white estimated to be 15 feet long. spotted just yards off the shore line. the state police called in to verify it was indeed a shark, while confused beach goers had no clue. >> we're in the water maybe three feet deep and we saw the helicopter start coming from the south end of the beach. >> the lifeguard came and told people to get out of the water and i went down and i just asked and they said there had been a shark sighting. >> reporter: lifeguards ordering everyone out of the water for two hours. then the shark slowly swam for deeper water. once the coast guard determined it was safe, people got back in the ocean. at least one person having a little fun with it, leaving this message on the shore line. you're going to need a bigger boat. the famous line from the movie "jaws." and while the beach is now back

varney. >> wait a minute, there is a new angle. >> which is? >> warren buffet, president obama's major corporate supporter. he is facilitating burger king's move. >> wow. >> he is financing part of the deal. he is helping burger king leave america, which is an astonishing thing because he's the principle corporate supporter of president obama. >> ironic there. but explain why businesses are opting to do this or why they feel this is only, if not best choice for their business? >> several reasons. number one, if you go overseas, you get a lower corporate tax rate. america's tax rate is the highest in the world, 35%. go oversea, get a lower tax rate. more profit for you and your shareholders. number two, this is a very antibusiness country at the moment. the obama administration regulates business, tries to stamp down on business. corporations are fleeing in droves to a less regulated environment. who would have thought 20 years ago, 25 years ago that american companies would jump ship, go to
canada of all places for lower taxes, less regulation, more growth? who would have thought? >> why is the reaction -- this is devastating for business, the fact that they have to jump ship. >> it's very strong from american business. lower the tax rate, reform the corporate tax structure and let us grow in america. that's what they want. >> 70 companies have left the country and gone overseas since the 1980s. >> how long until somebody in the administration calls warren buffet unamerican? >> unpatriotic, unamerican. that's what president obama called these companies which have jumped ship. corporate deserters, unpatriotic. >> the interesting thing is so many people say, the most brilliant investor, the most brilliant businessman in the world is warren buffet, and he sees the utility in leaving the united states. corporate wise to avoid the tax. >> it's astonishing. president obama got a lot of support from warren buffet when he was doing the tax story.
warren buffet objected to pay ago lower tax rate than his secretary. of course, he didn't pay himself very much. that's why he paid a lower rate. now we have the instance of he's supporting burger king, financing burger king jumping ship to canada. >> that's the closest thing we have to royalty in this country and it's leaving. >> i'm sorry. i got it. i just got it. >> it's okay. >> we could say the same thing about larry king, but he's staying. we'll be watching you on fox business. >> thank you so much. coming up, his tickets sell tore over 100 bucks a pop. but gang members got to say david blane for free. we'll explain. >> did he disappear? and call dad's little helper around the house because it will launch your daughters to career success. mark meryl and just how real that impact is.

stay at home mom. what's your assessment of this? >> my assessment of this small university of british columbia study is i have five kids and i have three daughters. i have a corporate recruiter who is working out in the work field now. i have a nuclear engineer and then i have a musical theater major who is in college. i can tell you, the fact that i did a lot of laundry and dishes as my kids were growing up probably doesn't have too much to do with their career choice. now, i will have to say that there are fringe benefits to doing the chores. in fact, my wife, she loves it. >> i bet she does. let me ask you this, so how can we -- you're speaking from experience. five kids, three daughters who with well on their way to success. do you believe that there are things that you can do as a father specifically that impact their decisions, careers and self-esteem? and what are they? >> yeah. no question about. parental influence is one of the
biggest things that we can do as a parent to affect our kids' career choice. the first one is be a student of your child. watch and take mental notes of your child's natural inclination s in their areas of giftedness. we always did that when our kids were little. one of my daughters, emily, i noticed she was really creative. she loved to sing. so we made sure that we directed her in that area and put her in courses and allowed her to perform, to really work that out. >> what do dads get wrong, do you think? >> well, i think sometimes dads get it wrong that they just really don't understand the incredible impact that they can have on their daughters and mom, too. and so it's very important to be a student of your child. it's also very important to validate your children's gifts. not only observe them, but also look at them and say to them, you know what? i've noticed that you're really good with people. i think you should continue to
develop that because that's -- you're really, really good at that. that's something that we need to do as well. so not only be a student of your child, but also to validate them in their gifts. >> good advice there. dads across the nation right now are pretty psyched because they don't have to do extra chores, it won't make a difference in the career choice. but it's being there and what they can do with their kid that matters. thank you for that advice. >> thanks. tell tim no more chores. he's off the hook. he doesn't have to do anything else. >> i hope he didn't hear that. thanks, mark. >> thanks. coming up, they show up for the waffles and they stay for unlimited cocktails. new neighbors now are fighting back with this video of boozey brunchers. but is it legal? and the college football season kicks off in a matter of days. we are warming up in the middle of times square. brian loves soccer so much, we're going to see if he can kick a field goal.

material reason why the raid was successful, but the hostages were not there. >> okay. if the raid was successful but the hostages weren't there, that's not a successful raid because the idea is to pick up the hostages. >> exactly. their job. but you're saying that the reason it failed was because the president sat on it too long. >> yes. everything is going on here, steve, is seen through a political lens. let me be very clear for this, you've got to assess our national security based on the intelligence available and instead of doing what's best based on the intelligence, everything is run through this multiple-pronged political optic of the white house. in this case, i think clearly there was a loft down sizing going on with the mission, but they went with the mission and then when the mission didn't pl, the hostages weren't captured, they threw special operations under the bus, well, it was their fault. it was the president's fault for
not approving when he should have. >> the national security council put out a statement that says this report that the president sat on it not accurate. what are they doing there? just spinning? >> well, i'd like to hear the explanation then. okay. if it's not accurate, then with a is accurate? this is where they always play this political narrative game. they've got to get out there and talk about it. they're the ones that put the information out about the raid. they didn't want to talk about the raid, they shouldn't have put it out there. >> sure. what has happened over the last week where on thursday you've got hagel and dempsey and they're having a very somber press conference when they talk about how isis is bigger than anything they've ever seen before and dempsey is very them, we're going to have to go over to syria and do it there. then a couple days later, you know, they're really just kind of a regional threat. what happened with the general? >> again, politicalization. it was very clear last week when secretary of defense hagel stated what he did with general dempsey, isis is a threat, a global threat.
they're coming for us. they're well funded and well organized. and then something happened over the weekend. it's like a mind trick. the president comes into town and these are not the terrorists you want to pursue. clearly, steve, there is a political narrative which always supersedes whatever the intelligence is at the moment. again, it's politicalization of things which should not be politicalized. >> and exit question, the news this morning is that apparently now the president has authorized drones to be flying over syria to look for the bad guys. bad guys until today. >> exactly. this should have been going on the last couple of years since syria has been an issue. steve, you don't conduct military operations without having a clear picture as best you can establish and clearly there is something wrong that we're only now doing it? they went from one sortie per month to 50 a day now, finally. they should have been doing it a long time ago. >> no kidding. tony, thank you for your

"breaking bad" broke good. the tv show dominating the emmy awards almost a year after going off the air. >> and the emmy goes to "breaking bad". >> "breaking bad" took home six emmys, including best drama series. bryan cranston picked up the award for the lead actor. anna gun and aaron paul won for their supporting roles. "modern family" becoming the first sitcom since "frazier" to
win five emmys in a row. and a moving tribute by billy crystal to the late robin williams. >> as a genius as he was on stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine for almost 40 years. he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy. robin williams, what a concept. >> and did you see this steamy moment? julia louis-dreyfus getting quite the surprise from a former "seinfeld" co-star. >> you look so much like the actor in "seinfeld" who played the dentist that i dated. >> she's won five emmys and had 18 nominations. >> he was on "seinfeld." yeah. >> she took home the best actress emmy for "veep." those are your headlines. >> in watching the emmys last
night, i was shocked how little network television we watch now. >> yeah. >> it's all about cable and streaming. >> what about our own bill o'reilly was nominated for "jfk," but he did not walk away with it. >> hanging out with rob lowe. >> thank you very much, ainsley. >> thanks. we got a fox news alert. the united states has started flying drones over syria. apparently until today we weren't. >> this move authorized by president obama over the weekend brings the u.s. one step closer to an all-out air assault in the region. >> and by the way, did we ask syria, should we ask syria? peter doocy at the white house. it's going to be a big day. >> reporter: brian, it's been a big week. the week here at the white house started with the obama administration trying to clarify that when president obama said isis falls into the jv category of terrorists, he just meant at the time that they had no designs on attacking the west.
but now president obama wants to have a look at the of fire power isis is working with, so he's order these surveillance flights over parts of syria that isis controlled and we have heard in the last few minutes those flights have begun. >> we've been looking at syria from across the border with very high altitude observation for a long time. now he's given permission to fly drones over syria. this is a step process of increasing surveillance and reconnance over time, gather the information, and eventually i'll guarantee you, we're going to start bombing them. >> reporter: a syrian official, though, is warning the white house not to start with air strikes unless president al assad signs off. you remember, though, president obama said in no uncertain terms that assad must step down. so now the white house is having to explain that any potential air strike would be an american interest. not an assad interest.
>> the incident is no, we're not interested in trying to help the assad regime. in fact, we have been calling for a number of years now for the assad regime to step down. >> reporter: most of the president's day will be spent going to charlotte for an merge legion convention. but when he gets back, he has a meeting with the secretary of state, john kerry, on the schedule. back to you. >> all right. peter doocy, i'm sure the president will get a warm reception at the american legion later today. >> you're being sarcastic, right? think about what he's done to the military. think about what's happened with the v.a. >> are you talking defunding, underestimating, undermining the cost that would be need to do defend against something like an isis that could pop up and surprise us? >> like i said, a warm reception. meanwhile, the white house had a lot of explaining to do. we've been telling you about how general dempsey a couple of days ago said the ohm way to take out isis is to go into syria and do
something there. then he walked it back and he said essentially, you know, isis is just kind of regional. yesterday josh earnest was asked about the president who said in january to the new yorker magazine that isis was just a jv team. keep in mind, the president just last week referred to it as a cancer that needed to be dealt with. so we were going to play josh earnest trying to spin his way out of that and that will be followed by lieutenant colonel allen west who doesn't think that mr. earnest is honest. >> the president was not singling out isil. he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attack the west or attacking the united states. and that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al-qaeda core network that was led by osama bin laden.
>> when i listened to those comments made by josh earnest, those were inane, incoherent, incompetent, and absolutely idiotic. what josh earnest is doing and the obama administration is doing is trying to relegate and define isis in a term or an ideology that fits into their own national security strategy so they don't have to take an action. >> if the president was being candid and honest, he could say, hey, i totally underestimated what they can do and i was too slow off the mark and maybe in retrospect we shouldn't have pulled all our troops out. so as fallujah fell, we should have said that's a little bit of an issue. >> but al-qaeda was on the run, remember? >> right. that would have been trouble. but he had already won reelection and there is wrong with the president saying i misjudged and underestimated. you can say fdr misjudged japan. never thought they would bomb pearl harbor. oops. that happened. but in the big picture, i think the president has not come up with a plan yet to stop isis,
whether it's jv or varsity, and i think it's staggering to find out later that egypt and the united arab emirates had their own aerial campaign in libya without even telling us. these are allies of ours and we're pretty much in control of that region. that shows how little trust and little interest people have in checking with us 5 1/2 years after they were afraid of us. >> state department officials thursday estimate 12,000 fighters in 50 country, including up to 100 americans joined radicals fighting. we now know this is a big deal. why they're walking it back, we're not sure. why the president doesn't seem to have a handle on it verbally as a cancer. is this the worst thing we've yet to come and see. why doesn't he want to get a grip on it, many are asking. >> meanwhile, let's talk about the scandal. remember it was lois lerner who apologized to tea party groups and conservatives that the irs illegally targeted them. then there were lawsuits where people tried to get the e-mail to make sure whether or not the
white house was coordinating with lois lerner. well, then we learned that all the e-mails were gone because she had a crashed hard drive, blah, blah, blah, the dog ate my homework. as it turns out, judicial watch, which has filed freedom of information act lawsuits to get to the bottom of it, they were told by irs attorneys on friday, according to the man who runs it, that lois lerner's e-mail and all government records are backed up in case of a government-wide catastrophe. so her e-mail do exist. but government attorneys say it's too complicated to get them out. here is tom now. >> everything we've been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing e-mails with lois lerner, other irs officials, other officials in the obama administration, it's all been a pack of malarky. they could get these records, but they don't want to and they haven't told anyone about it.
frankly until we were able to get it out of them on friday. >> see how much it costs to get the records. >> chairman issa is saying he wants a close door questioning again of koskinen. >> i'm sure that will go well. coming up, a bombshell report claiming that special forces mission that tried to rescue james foley from isis was delayed because the president feared for his own image. karl rove on deck to weigh in on that. and it's a top secret weapon that could hit any target in the world within hours. it's not a secret anymore because it failed and we taped it.
breaking right now, a live look in texas where a house went up in flames overnight. you can see the smoke still smoldering. a charred mess indeed. fire crews still on the scene. at least one person was hospitalized and officials believe a gas explosion may be to blame. steve? >> in other news, the white house doesn't seem to be able to commit to a strategy to defeat isis. yesterday the press secretary even saying the president hasn't
figured out what to do about syria. >> in terms of giving an update on the status, i'm not in a position to do that beyond saying the president has not made a decision to order military action in syria. >> really? here to discuss fox news contributor karl rove. what's he saying there? >> he's saying they haven't made a decision, they're still thinking. they've been thinking about this for about six weeks, ever since isis exploded across the northern part of iraq. they have been befuddled and hyped the 8 ball and they continue to be. >> is it denial or procrastination? >> look, normally -- let's go back to last week. on tuesday the secretary of state comes out and says we must crush isis. they must be destroyed. on thursday we have this extraordinary press conference with hagel, secretary of defense, and martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs where they say we got to go after isis. they're a real threat. hagel says they're bigger than anything we faced before and dempsey says if we're going to get them, we have to get them in syria to destroy their command
and control nodes. normally you would take the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs as indicating more importantly, we had ben rhodes, the deputy national security director, completely political guy, he comes out and says they're dangerous. you would assume that the president was moving towards that. but then we had search dee walk -- search see walk it back yesterday. >> look. they're confused. the president has been disengaged as he has been on these big foreign policy questions. but they have to sort it out. the pressure from congress, the pressure from the international community is what does america intend to do? >> the military has been cut to the bones. the only thing the president has cut. now we're asking the aircraft carrier to move into the region, continue to fight in afghanistan. maybe take on an aerial campaign in, while putting advisors in syria and iraq. at what point does the military says you can't do this while giving pink slips?
>> the military will tell them that. you're right. the defense cuts have been deep. >> 19 40s level. >> yeah. in the process of getting there. and my hope is that this will cause the administration to rethink its priorities. >> one of the reasons the administration suddenly started thinking about isis and doing something about it is the beheading of jim foley that was youtubed and disseminated across the country. what's curious is there was a report in the sunday times of london that said special operators apparently gave the president a planning to and try to rescue them, but he sat on it so long, the information was stale and when they got there, he was gone. >> yeah. we do know -- we don't know the details about this. it will be interesting to see if this times report is accurate. you had tony on this morning who affirmed it. but we need to find out more about t. first of all, we know one of the most perishable things in intelligence is things like the whereabouts of high
valued targets and high value captives. so it's very perishable so you need to move quickly. the second thing we know is look, the administration, we lack assets in the region. i mean, i don't believe the administration was completely unaware of the threat of isis, but they were clearly surprised when it exploded through northwestern iraq and it's because we frankly have very few assets on the ground that can collect and evaluate the intelligence that's available. >> right. >> now we've got some drones. karl rove, thank you. >> thanks for having me. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, for two years, this 12-year-old has been running a lemonade stand to help pay the bills. so why is one cranky neighbor trying to shut him down? you're going to hear from the young entrepreneur straight ahead. >> he's impressive. and this mom lost 80 pounds. check out her results. how did she do it? with a little help from her friends, of course. these women are starting a mommy movement and you can do it, too.

and kayak where he was last seen and he joins us live this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i understand that lucius worked for you the last two summers at your family 4÷ busin. when he took off last tuesday, what did he say? >> you know, he said good-bye to everybody. he said that he was going to take a two-day drive up to montana for college and that he was excited to get up there and get going. >> so if he said he was going to take a couple of days to drive up there. and we've got this image from the chevron gas station in garden valley, idaho,$ñ i know that folks were unsure which route he might have taken. the fact that he's seen near that gas station tells you what? >> it tells us that he took one of two;ñ&ñ possible routes to go montana. so it makes the search area --
cuts it in half. it takes out the north route on highway 55 and allows us to look moore toward the garden valley, lowman area as opposed to wondering which direction that he went. >> all right. so they narrowed it down by half. so if he said as he was setting out, i'm going to take two days to drive to college, does that mean he would have been planning on doing some hiking along the way or some camping? did he have the supplies -- did he have a tent or would he just have stayed there in his subaru legacy? >> no, he definitely should have had the supplies. he was camping all summer, most of the -- we have a camp ground that we provide for the guys. so they do camp most of the summer. so he would have broken down his camp and presumably had all of that stuff in his car. so he definitely would have had those supplies. >> i understand some of the staff there at your place is actually helping in the search,
right? >> that is correct. yeah. many of the staff who have not left for their college for the winter have been looking in some of the camp grounds in the vicinity and driving up and down some of the forest service roads where he could have potentially gone off and maybe done hiking or kayaking. >> let's hope they're able to locate him safely. and he just lost track of the time in high country. >> absolutely. >> kenneth long, the owner of cascade raft and kayak, thank you very much. by the way, if anybody watching has any information, we're going on the screen, if you could just back the teleprompter up. it was the boise county sheriff's office, the telephone number is 208-392-4411. brian and elisabeth, outside to

i know that tempers flare and it's easy to hop out of the car and show your displeasure. i think all in all it's a good rule. >> you're 21-years-old, you've been racing since you were five, maybe? >> four. >> four. gosh. that's incredible. you're doing this and you have an excessive responsibility. you had diabetes, diagnosed three years ago? >> at 17 years old. >> there is somebody on your pit crew who can do what for you? >> giti je an insulin injection during a pit stop if needed. >> that's incredible. what a group to have behind you at all times. does it make it more difficult for you or just sort of another bump in the road? >> there isnjfw definitely challenges. it's definitely been a transition. i raced before i was diagnosed and afterment it's been a transition, but i have a great sports team withç doctors and american diabetes association, they're all behind me. so i know that i can do it with all their help. it's been a lot of fun. >> you're 9th in the point
standings right now. you're going to be racing atlanta this weekend. >> yep. >> you look so young. even though you're 20, you look so young. do you ever have trouble getting on the track? >> no. luckily i have a hard card that says i'm a driver. that makes it easier to get in and out of the track. being young. you have to earn your keep, i guess. >> some of the veterans give you a hard time? >> oh, yeah. >> is this the car you're racing? >> not this exact one, but it looks just like it. >> do you mind if and i take a trip in it? >> go for it. >> look at this. take a look inside this car. explain here, when you're sitting, you have the protection around your head. do you have anything in here for yourself in terms of diabetic rescue or is it just your pit crew? >> no. i have a monitor on the dash. i wireless monitor my blood sugar on the dash.

fox news alert. out of napa, california, rick
reichmuth just felt an aftershock. i'm looking at the national weather service. they say it's a 3.9o7b magnitude american canyon, california. >> exactly. the initial earthquake was about six kilometers from that area, napa valley fault line, which is exactly where this winery where we are is. so this aftershock right in the exact same area. 3.9. we moved out of this area with these barrels. you see the barrels that had toppled over during the initial quake. now if anything had resettled with this, we just came out here to be more safe. >> we talked before about an early warning system being in the works. do you have any updates on that? >> reporter: yeah. it's a really fascinating project that's out there. there is a way -- the speed at which a wave from an earthquake moves through the land that can actually get digitally signal out and warnings to people before that wave hits them. so during this earthquake that
just occurred two days ago, they got ten seconds notice of the system in a test. they believe that there is capacity that they could give people as much as 40 seconds advance notice of an earthquake coming, which could get people out of elevators, could get fire trucks to be able to open their doors so they could get out of their fire department, could allow people to get into safe spots in their houses. we talked yesterday to somebody from the usgs. take a listen to what he said about how this works. >> the early warning system uses sensors spread out all over the state and it detects earthquakes very, very rapidly, determines their size and their location and can actually send alert messages out faster than the seismic waves are moving. so you can get a warning before the seismic waves reach your location. >> reporter: yeah. this is super important, potentially really life saving. the problem is they need funding. they need congress to potentially get funds out there to get this system in place.
california obviously the threat of a big earthquake and it's something they hope they can maybe get funding out and get this in place just in time. guys? >> sounds like it would take at least $80 million, where does that come from? rick reichmuth live in napa where this just had a 3.9 aftershock. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. sign of the times, the majority of americans want to make it illegal for kids to go to the playground by themselves. should a walk in the park really be a crime for the parents? we asked you to send an e-mail. you've done it. first let's check in with martha mccallum. she promised to tell us what's on her show. >> who grew up playing by myself in the park. >> we all did. >> good morning. big show coming up today. the u.s. has now begun drone and surveillance in the skies over syria. so what happens next? general jack keane will tell us. and the white house tries to back pedal the jv characterization of isis. and the real shark week gets
