Right now, ainsley has the weather. And im filling in for heather we are the a team. All right, let me tell you what happened over the weekend. There was extreme weather over the labor day holiday. Terrified beachgoers running for their lives as lightning
strikes three people on a new york beach. Two of the victims, a father and his teenage son, were taking shelter under a tree when that lightning bolt hit the tree, sending them flying at least ten feet. Take a look at this photo. The lightning was so powerful, look at that, it shredded their clothes. It was really loud, like, just, boom like a bomb blew up. Lightning hit the water. It hit the water . It hit the water or the sand. You could see an explosion. Just things lifting up and people just running. And this picture out of florida. Thunder and lightning forcing the Florida GatorsFootball Team to postpone and then cancel their home opener. Terrifying moments at a Church Bazaar in texas. Two people are seriously injured after falling nearly 30 feet to the ground midcarnival ride. Fire crews believe the ride malfunctioned, but witnesses say at least one person who fell was not wear his seat belt. The victims conditions were not yet released. A massive hacking scandal hitting hollywood. Racy photos of more than 100 celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and kate upton, leaked online. A glitch in apples icloud storage system apparently allowed the hacker to get into their iphones. Jennifer lawrences publicist saying this is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos. Coming up, well tell you how to protect your iphone from hackers. Every guy in studio paying attention to that story. A bittersweet return to r e racing for tony stewart fans, thrilled to see him after a threeweek break, but a flat tire forcing him out of the race. They seemed, though, very happy to see him back behind the wheel. We all look at him, you know, just to lead us and to guide us. And you know, it was good to have him back. We look forward to going on to the rest of the year and getting him back to victory lane. Stewart still troubled from the tragic death of kevin ward jr. Three weeks ago. And those are your headlines. Back to you guys. All right, ainsley. Thanks so much. Well, its jihadists gone wild, throwing a pool party at the cia annex in libya. How in the world did this even happen . Peter ducy joins us live from washington, d. C. , with the answer. Good morning, peter. Good morning, anna. And the latest video out of libya looks like a party theme from a movie about having the neighborhood over when someones parents are away, but the backdrop isnt a house, its this cia residential annex in tripoli, and the men on screen are not harmless teenagers, they are reportedly jihadists with a group called dawn of libya, who look like theyre having a blast, cheering each other on, diving off the roof and into the pool. Apparently, these militia men moved in a week ago, but its been more than a month since american personnel moved out, with the state department saying at this point, we believe the Embassy Compound itself remains secure, but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground, which remains very fluid. The primary reason the United States temporarily relocated our personnel and operations from tripoli recently was the ongoing fighting between militias occurring very close to our compound. Furthermore, ambassador to libya, deborah jones, tweeted per my knowledge and recent photos, the u. S. Embassy tripoli compound is now being safeguarded and has not been ransacked. Right now we still dont know exactly who the u. S. Government hired to guard these specific buildings in libya after all the americans left, but it doesnt look like those guards did a very good job. Back to you. All right, peter. Thanks so much. Interesting. Doesnt look like its all being that well protected. No. It looks like Justin Biebers house over there. Highdives and carrying on. Yikes. Well, today, britains Prime Minister, David Camerons going to be laying out a counterterrorism plan. We already saw him raise the Terror Threat level to severe, the highest its been in some three years. And hes going to be cracking
down on passports, making it easier to strip terror suspects of those. This is something that weve seen from a lot of commentators, saying the president is showing a real sign of weakness, not leading in the way that David Cameron is. This nostrategy strategy is not working for him. And he quickly raised the terror level threat and already is coming up with a plan, stating that today. Its creating mixed feelings, even among the democrats. One democratic congressman had this to say yesterday on the House Intelligence Committee. Take a listen. I know the president was criticized saying we dont have a plan. You just dont come in and bomb unless you know where you are, who youre going to get. You dont want Collateral Damage killing other people. And when the time is right, we will do what we have to do. You just dont rush in because the media is talking about it. You dont rush in because other countries arent going to tell
us what to do. Interesting. What does rush in mean . I mean, its not like this hasnt been going on for years and now, suddenly, we say wait, we dont want to rush in. And they say we dont want to rush in like the Bush Administration rushed lets remember, the Bush Administration put together a huge coalition. They had u. N. Resolutions, they had a vote in congress, there was a year leading up to that. So, i dont think anybodys accusing obama of rushing in. I think everybodys taking their time. But i think the point is, if youre going to announce that you dont have a strategy and then youre going to go play golf, i think the American People, after weve had an american beheaded, are wondering, why are you playing golf . Why arent you working on a strategy . Theres a big disconnect here with the president and the American People. Yeah, and weve heard from senator dianne feinstein, of course, a democrat, who says that, you know what, isis doesnt want to stop until they spill our blood and that the president is simply too cautious in his Foreign Policy, especially in this instance. Take a listen. Jordans at jeopardy, lebanon
as the jeopardy, the uaa and other countries are in jeopardy. So, there is good reason for people to come together now and begin to approach this as a very real threat that it in fact, is. The president back in january told the new yorker magazines David Remnick that isis is the jv team. That was clearly wrong. Well, i think its wrong, too. I think its a major varsity team. What do you think about the uprising in 2011 in syria . The president has said several options put before him, according to mike rogers. He says this is simply the president not wanting to be engaged. Hes had time, hes had the options, and this is methodical, this is on purpose. And also directly contradicting the president. So, completely, exactly the same not what the president is saying. Take a listen, though, to what one of the republican congressmen is saying, mike rogers. He is saying it is very simple. This is the president s plan. Its intentional, he just does not want to be engaged. Were spending a lot of time talking about things that we wont do. Thats the problem. The president wants to tell you what he wont do. Hes having a hard time putting the coalition together to talk about what they will do. Youre not going to humanitarian aid isis out of iraq and syria. Its going to take more than that. There have been plans on the table. The president just did not want to get engaged in any way. That is a decision. That is a policy. That is a strategy. And its not working. This does seem to be the strategy, is that there is no strategy. He doesnt want to get engaged. You saw it in libya. He led from behind. It was a total disaster. He led mubarak in egypt basically be deposed and did nothing. He drew a red line in syria, and assad is still there and genocides taking place. So, hes actively trying to not engage, because i think truthfully, he thinks u. S. Military power is going to have a negative effect on the region. I think a lot of people disagree with that. A lot of people are looking to join the coalition. But why would you join the coalition . Hes pulled the rug out from under our allies with the red line comment. Hes alienated some of our best friends in great britain, in germany, in israel. I think a lot of people dont trust the president to follow through on what he says hes going to do. Yeah, they think its a Foreign Policy failure all the way around and that, certainly, our adversaries are watching this coalition that is hopefully going to be formed at some point during this nato summit on thursday and friday in wales. Its going to be addressing not just isis, but also what putins doing in ukraine. Were going to get a lot more on this this morning. Guess what else is in the picture this weekend, labor day . Our buddle. Our buddy, alec baldwin. Coming unhinged again, getting into a scuffle with photographers. There you go. Hes outside a hamptons playground. Police are dispatched to handle the situation. The photographer was out there trying to take pictures of him and his family at the playground. And the cops had to be called. You know, in some instances, its like, you feel bad for these celebrities, right . They cant go anywhere. They cant even go out to the hamptons and new york and enjoy a nice day at the playground with the family, but who acts like this . And its not as if alec baldwin doesnt have a history of getting into scuffles with the media. Right. I mean, people say this photographer was provoking alec baldwin and his wife. Its a he saidshe said, you dont know what to believe. Its like you poke a bear and the bears going to attack and run wild, but you dont really give the benefit of the doubt to alec baldwin. Hes getting into scuffles almost every week with these guys. Its like a cottage industry. Its good for him, i think, his career now, because whenevhe pua ka areaman and hes back in the picture. He grabbed his shirt and apparently the guy didnt press charges. Apparently, alec has to behave until january. The cop told him if you have any more problems, its going to escalate. So, the photographer did not press charges on the guy because he said alec just wants to be with his family, can tell hes a good family guy, loves his kids,
didnt press charges. So, maybe either alecs learning and calmed him down or he realized, i have until january. I wouldnt give him to october to behave. Well see. Well follow that closely. We see how alec baldwin is spending his Labor Day Weekend. What about you . What are you up to . Barbecues, pool parties, neighborhood parades, fireworks . Send us your pictures and well be sharing them throughout the show. All right, coming up, the Boston Marathon bombing and ft. Hood shooting committed by radical muslim americans, but tell that to the fbi. The latest domestic terrorism report doesnt even refer to islamic terrorist threats .

Smoking with chantix. For 33 years i chose to keep smoking. Because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Its a nonnicotine 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. Dont take chantix if youve 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 threa 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 nonsmoker. But i do now. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Hey, everyone, good morning. Both the Boston Marathon bombing and ft. Hood shooting were committed by radical muslim americans, but tell that to the fbi. Their latest domestic terrorism assessment doesnt even refer to islamist terrorist threats. Here to weigh in is president of American Islamic forum philosophy and retired navy officer dr. Jasner. Good morning. Great to have you with us. Good morning. Its great to be with you. I want everyone to see what is involved with the fbi extremist list. It says antigovernment Militia Groups, White Supremacy extremists, black separatists, sovereign citizen nationalists, anarchist, Animal Rights extremists, environmental extremists, abortion activists and puerto rico nationalists. Theyre stealing the headlines today, arent they . Its jawdropping that islamic extremists are not on this list. What do you say to this . As a muslim who has been fighting radical islam, you wonder why the voice of moderates arent getting out . You have two major issues. One is, clearly, the administration and Homeland Security are in a deep state of denial, rooted in Political Correctness and, basically, a fear of engaging the ideology. Theyre just afraid to engage it. Secondly is, this really is a sign of the deep, profound influence of Muslim Brotherhood legacy groups and the
organization of islamic cooperation lobby in defining the language that we use in this debate. I mean, abroad in the middle east, they call themselves islamists, and yet, we cant even use that diagnosis to call them. And now we wonder, theres over 200 americans serving in isis, and that just happened in the last few months. It was happening when this report was made and they werent even talking about it. Right, and you think back to ft. Hood and the shouting of al you akbar, and somehow, its considered workplace violence. And then take the headlines from last week when we had the two guys from minneapolis who were radicalized and ended up being killed while fighting for isis. Weve got estimates of hundreds of western people who have gone, they have western passports. They can come back and hurt our homeland, obviously. What kind of a danger are we in if we dont recognize this issue . Were in danger of continuing to be in a whacamole program
where we continue to do the same thing in an insane way without learning the lessons that we have, because we arent engaged in solutions. The only solution is to engage in muslims that fight against this islamo patriotism that pulls our muslim youth into movements like isis, hamas and other radical groups and pulls them back into american nationalism, british nationalism, western loyalty. And unless we engage muslims like our group that has the Muslim Liberty project or our American IslamicLeadership Coalition to have a seat at the table, americas going to be more at threat than ever before. Im sorry, this report is a pre9 11 mentality. And muslims that are fighting for reform are being left in the shadows, because its as if theres nothing going on within the house of islam, and the oic lobby and the Muslim Brotherhood groups are driving american policy today. Dr. Jasser, why do you think more muslim groups arent speaking out like you . You have a unique perspective, being muslim and having served
in the United States navy. But why arent more speaking out to share the divide and make americans realize that we need to do something about this . Because the government doesnt want to engage islam and muslims. It wants to pretend no problem exists so we dont even exist, but we exist. Were making statements. If they listen to us, youll hear more of our voices. Okay. Dr. Zuhdi. Jasse
