You switch to geico. Its what you do. We sat here walking away from the podium and do this demonstration which got the attention of the secret Service Agents on either side of the stage. Watch as he demonstrates his doubts about a story that ben carson has hold about trying to stab a close friend and relative as a teenager. Watch and well talk about it on the other side. He took a knife and he went after a friend and he lunged. He luggaged that knife into the stomach of his friends. But low and behold, it hit the belt. Can a a subconscious. Mind .

And you are getting this they had gotten eyes on him, so information just as were going to speak and were tracking him. On the air tonight im hearing they have very strict rules. They can only take that drone shot with a missile from the it. Im getting it in realtime right drone when they are certain of now.

Has conducted an air strike in and the pentagon in announcing this still saying they are raqqah, syria, earlier today, waiting final confirmation. Targeting the man known to the world as jihadi john, the he had been the face of isis in the beheading videos. Notorious murderer of several that is it for us tonight. American, japanese, british, other hostages, someone who has had hostages under his control ac360 starts right now. And we saw those terrible beheading videos. Good evening, thanks for let me be very precise with what joining us tonight. Donald trump is not backing down we know and what we do not know from his promise of if elected at this hour. To round up and deport 11 u. S. Forces conducted this air Million People living in this strike. We do believe at this hour it country illegally. Was a drone but that has not trump says he would establish a been officially confirmed. Deportation force to do the job. He says his plan would be jihadi john, his name, is effective, humane and pass legal muster. And some within his party and Mohammad Emwazi. He is a kuwaitiborn brit. Across the political spectrum he is someone the United States, have doubts about all of it. Briton and japan wanted to get others dont want to make it the very badly for many months. Center piece of a president ial campaign. And democrats are looking at the he has caused utter misery and demographics of the elections and hope that trump grief to the families of the hostages in so many countries. The families getting family notification this evening, we are told. This is going to be a very interesting several hours ahead of us. The u. S. , the administration believes when it took the strike it did get him, that it did kill Mohammad Emwazi. But that is not confirmed at this hour. There are no u. S. Troops, military or intelligence personnel on the ground in raqqah, syria where this took place. In the coming hours, while they believe they got him, no absolute confirmation, they will be doing at social media accounts and Monitoring Communications around the world of various isis elements to see what they have to say about this. They will be trying to do everything they can to get absolute confirmation. But what we do know is earlier this evening, the families were notified that the United States conducted an air strike, they do believe at this hour they killed jihadi john, they are hoping very much for that absolute confirmation. Stand by. I want to bring in buck stetson to talk about what this means to the war on or repoterraare on h it is not going to change the reality on the ground in syria. This is the sort of thing that is a victory but its not going to have the impact that you would see if perhaps you got the top leadership, and then quite honestly when you loob at the past of insurgencies in iraq, they were great victories but the insurgencies got worse afterwards. If you want to get him because he had american blood on his hands, absolutely, this is a big victory. From the case of what happens now with the war against isis, with the kurds, all of that, its more complicated. They have plenty of fighters and unfortunately he is just one of them. Barbara is getting new information. What do you know about his recent movements . I want to jump in on this point. Hes absolutely right. We ask every day if not every week about jihadi john for months now. And so much that the u. S. Wanted to get to. Is he raeeally a socalled high value target . The league of Osama Bin Laden . The top leaders of the terror organizations . What u. S. Officials have said very privately is no, he is not a highvalue target in terms of making a substantive difference on the war against isis. He is an evil killer that they want to bring to justice and thats how they did it they hope this evening. It is absolutely right. These are two essentially different things. This, if it was a drone strike, let me explain about how the drone strikes are conducted. It is the joint special Operations Command from fort bragg, north carolina. This is the command that has been gathering intelligence, very precise bits of intelligence on the top isis operatives. They operate in very quietly and under the table, a series of drones and many of the drone strikes youve seen have actually been conducted by this military organization. They have very strict rules of engagement. They do everything to avoid civilian casualties. They try to get a bead on where someone is, follow them around, keep surveillance on them overhead and essentially, quite frankly, take the shot when this person is either out in the open or not surrounded by civilians. Its very painstaking work and why there have been so few of these and so difficult to do. But clearly for the last 48 hours, they had a clear idea where jihadi john was. And let me add that all of the information that we have been told is that after all these terrible beheading videos, there are some elements of isis that pushed jihadi john to the side. They perhaps did not want as much to do with him as before. He is bringing a lot of heat on the organization. What we dont know is how much jihadi john had been forced to move around. When they move around thats when the u. S. Can try to spot them. He essentially correct me if im wrong he had become the face of isis, what people related to isis most. The terrible beheading videos that we had to, edit to make sure we dont show how horrific they are. He had become the face but recently they wanted to put him to the side . At cnn we had reporting from u. S. Officials indicating that that is what they thought was going on inside isis. Of course the u. S. Has a limited vision at times into the isis organization. I dont think its anything other than evident to the public that the way that the u. S. Tries to track isis the most is by connecting overhead surveillance with aircraft and drones over syria and iraq and also of course, monitoring the electronic communications. This is something that has gone on now with al qaeda, all major terrorist organizations around the world including isis, this monitoring their communications on the dark web, monitoring their communications in secure chat rooms. This is well understood that this is what the u. S. Government does. We are not revealing any extremely Sensitive Information here. This is a very open matter. Barbara. I want to ask you a question before we get to break. Considering, as you say, they were trying to marginalize him, what sort of a blow is this for isis . What this is, i think every u. S. Official will tell you come tomorrow, this is a message to isis, we will find you, we will kill you. But still, they have to absolutely confirm that they got him. That may be a very difficult thing to do. They believe that they do. They are telling us tonight that they believe they got him. But very clearly. They are waiting for that final confirmation but the message to isis in syria, in raqqah in their capital is you can run but you cant hide. Okay, stand by. The man behind the beheading videos, it is believed that he was killed in a raqqah, syria drone strike. Welcome to todays working world. Companies everywhere are working harder and investing more.

It has been quite a day. Joining me is bob beckel, author of i should be dead. I thought i read that earlier. Angela rye is here. And former navy seal, carl higby and buck sexton who is a former cia and navy seal. Im going to how is this going to affect the race . Missouri . No, trump. We jumped from cia to seal. Jihadi john. How is jihadi john going to affect the race . Yeah. Not very much at all. They will talk about foreign policy. But anyone who knows what the situation was going after hvts in iraq, someone will take his place. There will be another executioner tomorrow who is willing to do some of the same things. Isis is in control of large swaths of territory. There are a few Million People that are in what you have to call the islamic state. Put the video up of donald trump. This is the first day with secret service and he did something that caught him off guard. What do you think of this belt buckle thing . First of all, think about this, how lucky can trump get . Thats a big story right there. He called one of his opponents a path logical liar, he stepped out in front of a crowd and said knife me and you get news of this drone attack. You know, trump has been in for the summer and now moved off broadway and he is about to set the big lights. I mean, you cant say things like this over and over and get away with it. And so far he has but im not one of the people that buy the fact he can make it to convention. Mr. Higby, he is your guy, did that make you uncomfortable . I dont think so. People are looking for strength as a leader. And he stepped out and said try it. Look at me. And he called it for what it is. He said this is a path logical syndrome. I dont think it happened. Dont be fooled. Thats what attracts people to trump. People like what he has to say. Its real. Lets talk about the Washington Post tonight. They are reporting tonight that the republican establishment worried that trump or carson might win and that some on the right are contemplating drafting mitt romney. What is your reaction to that, angela . 6 million votes. Thats how many he lost by last time. That would be a terrible decision. I understand why the establishment is very afraid right now. Donald trump and ben carson do not have what it takes to win the general election. And so i understand the fact that theyre frazzled, their golden guy, i wont call him the golden boy. That name belongs to marco rubio. But they golden guy, jeb bush has not done what they thought he would do. He has been a flop at every debate. He shook up his campaign and that only shook him up. Thats one of the reasons for the reporting. I get it. But the problem is they i dont know. You tell me. The thing that ben carson has what it takes. Ben carson has been beating Hillary Clinton in national polls. He is one of several candidates that the republicans have. Just with one sentence. There are several candidates that are beating hillary in the polls in recent weeks. Trump is not one of them its halloween the year before. What are you talking about . Let me finish. Go ahead. I was getting ready to tell you that the electorate is very, very different than what it was in 2012. You have frustrated republicans. You are eager to jump in tonight and the reason is that establishment just wont do. So they are flocking to donald trump and to ben carson but the rest of the country is not going to be there with you. Listen they wont be Hillary Clinton. Lets remember that the rules of nominating a president at convention are very, very tough for the republicans. If the establishment who does control all super delegates, if they want to get in and encourage, say, favored sons to run in certain states to take votes away from carson or trump, they could stop him. I could sit down right now and figure out a way to deny them a majority of the delegates in the Convention Even if they win iowa and new hampshire. Donald trump, the Republican Party knows darn well if they push him out unfairly he could run as an independent and he has the resources to win. Stop, everybody. I want you to listen to this, donald trump talking about romney tonight. Listen. Something happened to romney. He choked. I always said he choked. For a month and a half before the election you didnt see him. Say what you want about obama. He was on jay leno, he was on david letterman. I said i was backing romney. I said when are you going to go on television . Then he announces he is building a 12car garage in malibu. And the horses. His wife has horses. Anyway, he loses. We should have won. He certainly doesnt seem worried. Its donald trump. I cant believe well talk about this all you want. Hes got a lot of money and presence. But when they decide, they, the establishment that everybody is revolting against. And its a slim percentage here. But leave that aside. If trump runs as an independent he may get 15 of
