The fireworks and insults sure have. We will take you there live. Good afternoon. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We begin today with our world lead. Today the fbi made a stunning admission. The u. S. Is losing the battle to stop isis recruiting on the internet. In front of congress the director of the fbis Counter Terrorism unit conceded that while the United States is furiously trying to counter the terrorist narrative online isis is still succeeding in radicalizing countless americans on u. S. Soil. Also today, testimony that 180 americans have tried or have successfully gone to syria to fight jihad. Some of them have come back here to the United States. Could one of them be the next jihadi john, whose real name was revealed this morning. The killer hiding behind the mask the isis terrorist who beheaded american and british hostages on camera alleged to be Mohammad Emwazi. U. S.

Hearing that hamas has rejected that extension for the last sort of 20 or 30 minutes or so weve heard outgoing rockets. Were getting reports that in israel the alarms have gone off. So it does appear that the extension, this additional fourhour ceasefire, has been canceled. Today while we were out during the ceasefire, we saw lots of palestinians stocking up on supplies, grabbing everything, because many of them felt that the violence was going to continue. What we saw today was a lot of devastation all around gaza. Have a look. This area has seen some of the heaviest fighting the past three or four days. You can see around me everything is destroyed, buildings burnt out. There is rubble everywhere. Nobody can go back for his home. No animals. No electricity. Nothing. Reporter workers are still pulling bodies from the rubble. It will take days before the actual death toll will be known, but the damage unlike anything palestinians say they have ever seen before. People are getting a fir
Been planning to do after the shocking murders. Police releasing a long list of what they found in the car that flanagan drove the day of the shooting. In addition to a glock semiautomatic pistol, a gun he purchased legally back in july, police found more ammunition, three license plates, a wig, a shawl. Investigators trying to determine where he was headed next. Coworkers of the two slain journalists, some holding hands, appeared together at a press conference where the news director offered a possible explanation as to how flanagan may have found out where the victims were filming that morning. It is conceivable that if someone saw their first hit on the air, which was probably about 5 10, they could get from wherever they were to Smith Mountain lake. Pamela brown is outfront tonight. What more are you learning about what appears to be or could have been a getaway plan, at least he seemed to be preparing for something after the shootings. Reporter right. Which is interesting. Because
President obama admitting to ellen why hes california dream. Its good to get out of washington, which sometimes can be depressing. To get out of washington . Or what part is depressing . Well, washington. Good afternoon. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. Over immigration and Social Security clashed over the issues with the Obama Presidency and the legacy. With Bernie Sanders taking offense to the latest line of clinton attacks. I think we have been an ally. Have you ever disagreed with a president . I suspect you may have. Calling the president weak, calling him a disappointment and calling several times that he should have a primary opponent when he ran for reelection in 2012, you know, i think further than saying we have our disagreements. One of us ran against barack obama. I was not that candidate. Alex seitzwald joins me now. Youve been covering Hillary Clinton going back. What do you make of the debate . A new tone to her. Its been striking, much hotter and calmer this time aroun
Right now. Good evening. Im chuck todd at election headquarters. Mainstream conservative and trumpism is everywhere you look. It was in d. C. On fox news and it seized the Battle Ground map which is where we will begin with breaking news. We have brandnew poll numbers from the wall street journal maris polling partnership. It is of likely voters in two key Battle Ground states. New hampshire where clinton opened up a ninepoint lead in a fourway race predebate. She led by just two. Lets look at nevada. Clinton and trump are in a dead heat. Last month trump held a lead and jill stein is not on the ballot in nevada. Another split in the party. New hampshire is a more educated state and less College Educated whites. That is a very competitive state. The numbers on the state that could decide Party Control of the senate and whether it is boom or bust for the gop candidates after both of them, the two nominees there abandon trump. We begin with a fascinating 24 hours of jarring and sometimes
