Thank ni it was quickly caught. Good news in the end. I dont blame them. Thanks for joining us. Fox friends starts now. See you here tomorrow. Same time. Bye. Good morning. Today is monday, the 8th of september, 2014. Im anna kooiman. This is what a two game nfl suspension looks back. The horrifying moment ravens running back ray rice punched his fiancee. A first look at what went down in that elevator. Not good. Meanwhile the president admitting hes not exactly sorry for playing golf while the family of james foley broke down in tears, but he does regret one thing. I should have anticipated the optics. Part of the job is also the theater of it. Thats not all he said. A major announcement from the duke and duchess of cambridge to the town crier. [bell ringing] hear ye, hear ye this is the town crier you are watching fox friends. He stole your lines. I cant answer that. Im done. Hear ye hear ye thats the news. God save the queen. Sounds like the duke and the dukess are expecting. The dukess . This is good. The first turned out dprait and so theyre going to go back and two for two. I said why do we care . You know how long we fought to get away. No taxation without representation. It is a minute after the top of the hour. Weve got a lot to talk to you about this morning. United states warplanes taking out isis targets near iraqs crucial dam. The new barrage of airstrikes comes as president obama prepares to outline a plan to fight isis. For more on that and what we expect from the president this week we turn to peter doocy live in washington. Reporter good morning. It could be three years until isis is eliminated. The New York Times reports the president wants to continue using scraiks in iraq to protect americans airstrikes in iraq. After next weeks iraqi elections the plan is to train the iraqi military. Third and finally, strike inside syria. The president is clear, his ideas do not include a longterm American Military presence in the area. This is not the equivalent of the iraq war. What this is is similar to
the kinds of counterterrorism campaigns that weve been engaging in consistently over the last five, six, seven years. That plan might not be good enough for some democrats, though. Youve heard senator Dianne Feinstein already call for airstrikes in syria and other lawmakers stress action against isis must be taken quickly because it may be hard to pick up american passport holders sympathetic to the cause. The fact of the matter is this group has among their ranks hundreds if not thousands of people with the capability of entering the United States quickly and easily, and we should not take that lightly. On wednesday the president is going to share his antiisis game plan with the nation, and ahead of that tomorrow he will sit down with democrats and republicans from the house and senate to explain his thinking. Back to you in new york. At that time with a meeting with members of congress hes probably
going to say i need half a billion dollars to help train these guys. The president is going to have his speech on wednesday. How many different signals has he sent out . In january he said they were the j. V. Last week or the week before he said im going to manage. No, im going to destroy. Apparently now he says hes going to destroy isis over three years leaving a lot for perhaps his successor. As peter mentioned, there are democrats who are saying, mr. President , youve got to do something. What i want to hear is to reassure the American Public and the world that were standing up, were going to have a strategy and were not going to rest until we bring these people to justice and stamp them out. Times a wasting because we now said were going to go on the offensive and its time for america to project power and strength. Heres the they think. We have a few nations who said theyre going to get involved. Once we get the strategy
well find out what their role will be. Maybe theyll feel the same way. Canada, france, germany, italy, poland and denmark. A lot of arab nations say dont sign me up yet because we need to know what you guys are going to do, what the plan is, because it affects them more they want to know theyre going to stick to it because were still paying the price for saying were going to do airstrikes on syria, saying that is a red line and not doing it and not financing the presyrian army. The president says when it comes to the ground game were motte not going to be doing that. But hes going to rely on the iraqi army to help out and the Free Syrian Army that he said wasnt an option to finance. Did he forget to bring up the kurds and other arab nations that should be pressured to do Something Else . In an interview on meet the press the president was asked about that moment that he went golfing just
moments after james foleys parents were just crying and so upset about their son being bow beheaded. He said im sorry but im not sorry. Listen. You know, it is always a challenge when youre supposed to be on vacation because youre followed everywhere. And part of what id love is a vacation from the press. Two and a half years. Yeah. After having talked to the family 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 anticipated the optics but part of this job is also the theater. Part of it is how are you its not something that always comes naturally to me. Many would argue that
the theater of it is something that the president is actually very good at and thats how he got into office. It wasnt because of his experience. It was because of how great he was at the theater. He said that was dumb of me but i did it. I was on vacation. He blames the optics, blames the theater, blames the press. He used to blame bush all the time. He blamed the illegal alien children, that wave of them. The worry is for a lot of people is that without the teleprompter the president doesnt know exactly what to do correctly. Thats what you need in a leader, somebody to do the right thing. And he just confessed he didnt do the right thing. But no one wants him to be perfect and it is impossible to be perfect. That is why president bush said i was not smart to go on the golf course and make those comments on the golf course. Im not going to golf again. It just so happens this is the same game. If president bushs passion was playing tennis or Something Like that, he would say i wont play tennis again. I just think there is nothing wrong, if the president wants to say i dont know what i was thinking, but he didnt really say that. Instead he said you guys keep following me around on vacation. The reason you came off vacation is because there was a beheading and taunting from one of our chief enemies on the planet who is looking to stage an attack here perhaps. Meanwhile mitt romney was the lead guest on fox news sunday. He was asked about the president and his wouldbe strategy were going to hear about on isis. Listen. We fought long and hard to provide security and freedom for those people. Yet the president was, i dont know, too busy on the golf course to pick up the phone and meet with leaders around the world and say what happens if . The know the pentagon was going through what if scenarios but the president wasnt. Hasnt developed a strategy. I dont know whether you cant see reality from a
fair way but the president has not seen reality internationally. Whats curious is it does appear official main astrodome media are Mainstream Media are starting to turn on the president. It is interesting the daily news. Nine minutes after the top of the hour. Heather nauert has come back to work with us for a little while. It is great to be back with you guys. Missed you a lot. I do have news to bring you. Weve got news out of texas. Dozens of volunteers spending the weekend certainlying for a woman missing in texas. 23yearold Christina Morris disappeared eight days ago. She was last seen leaving a mall parking garage with friends. Her family says they are not giving up hope. Im strong. I still have faith. I know my daughter is alive. Police are saying
theyre planning to talk with other drivers who parked in a nearby parking garage. Later on fox friends at 8 15 eastern time christinas parents will join us live. Months after the Donald Sterling scandal there is another nba team that is on the market due to offensive comments made by its owner. Bruce levinson is selling the Atlanta Hawks after he admitted to sending a racist email in 2012. He blamed the hawks attendance problems on, quote, the black crowd who scared away the whites. He has apologized to fans saying if youre angry about what i wrote, you should be. Im angry at myself too. A big announcement from the royal palace confirming Prince William and Kate Middleton are expecting their second child. Kate suffering severe morning sickness. You may remember she was hospitalized while she was pregnant with Prince George because of that. Right now she is being
treated by doctors at the palace. Her due date not yet released. The founder of chickfila has died. A spokesperson for the restaurant chain confirms that he passed away peacefully overnight at his home surrounded by family after he suffered a long time illness. He opened the first chickfila in that chain has more than 1,800 restaurants in 39 states. It is a 63 fortune for that family. He was 93 years old. Love that restaurant. They have Great Customer service and so many wonderful people working there. All right. We saw the video of him, ray rice, dragging his girlfriend through a hotel. Now were seeing inside the actual elevator and its very clear, he really let her have it. We did not know his fiancee now wife. We didnt know what happened in the elevator. Now the tmz got a hold of what happened inside. He clearly knocked her out. This just adds to it. Roger goodell said last week i blew it. When it comes to Domestic Abuse it shouldnt be two weeks. Its going to be six weeks and the second time youre banned for life. This happened at a hotel in Atlantic City that just shut down for good. What is so wild about it is he doesnt seem phased after it happens. He just drags her out. It looks like he kind of lunged at her first and she hits him and he gives her the onetwo punch that knocks her out. Boom, he smashed her head on the elevator handrail, knocked out cold. The nfl looked at this video reportedly before
they decided it would games is enough. Are you kidding me . Crazy. Coming up straight ahead, fixing the border crisis now on hold and who is the president blaming .

The president now holding off on any action to fix the Immigration Crisis until after the november elections. So he hopes the democrats control the senate once again. And he seems to be blaming now the problem on illegal immigrant children. This problem with unaccompanied children that we saw a couple of 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
weve got this Immigration Crisis on our hands. The fact of the matter is that the number of people apprehended crossing our borders has plummeted offense the course of the decade. Its far lower than it was ten years ago. But isnt this really more about political timing . Joining us is the spokesperson for the lee bra for the libra initiative. Good morning, rachel. Good morning. Thanks for having me on today. You bet. Theres the president blaming the children, but really what he should be doing when you know what the back story is, is through one of his executive actions, he essentially got the ball rolling where people thought if my kids get there, theyll be americans. So thats why they started pushing their kids towards the southern border. Exactly. It is a new low. You gaza strip mentioned before how he used to blame george bush for everything. Now hes blaming the innocent victims for his
policy, the daca policy. These are the same kids he refused to visit, didnt have the heart to visit them at the border. Absolutely. This is a crisis he created. What happened is it exposed anyone who had doubts that the border wasnt secure they saw that when all these Central American children were able to make it over. Now we have the croifs in the middle east and threats of the homeland from isis. His idea of Immigration Reform which was legalization, citizenship first and Border Security later really isnt that appealing to americans anymore. I think they really want Border Security first. Then i think its really clear that the most powerful members of congress both in the senate and in the house of representatives want to find a compromise. But i think for him the immigration issue is always about politics and not really about finding solutions or helping
hispanics. Thats why we dont have a solution. Right. If he does this by executive fiat, it is going to further polarize. The right is going to be angry. The left is going to be actually the left is angry right now. He says it is a problem with kids coming. It is a political calculation on the side of the president. Its always a political calculation with him. Doing an executive action will make things worse especially when we know there is a solution that everyone can agree on. Exactly. Rachel campos joining us from minneapolis to talk about this important issue. Thank you very much. 20 minutes after the top of the hour.
