See you back here tomorrow. Fox friends starts right now. Ainsley is down there. Bye. Good morning. It is tuesday, september 16. Im Elisabeth Hasselbeck. We start with a fox news alert. Overnight the u. S. Carried out another round of airstrikes against isis just outside of baghdad, this on the heels of a serious warning to syrian president Bashar Alassad. Do not shoot down our planes or we will attack. We are live from washington. Its a shocking allegation. The department of state accused it is secretly destroying benghazi documents to protect Hillary Clinton, who was then secretary of state. The latest coverup the administration does not want you to hear about; were going to tell you about. A tasteless take to a whole new level. Urban outfitters has a kent state sweatshirt with blood splattered on it and holes. Wait until you hear how they try to explain this one away. Mornings are better with friends. Youre watching fox friends, and, by the way, happy anniversary, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Thats right, ladies and gentlemen. It was one year ago today we got a new couch. Yeah. And a new cohost. This has been an incredible year. Thank you both for the opportunity. And you guys treat me like a sister. You all treat me like a friend and i could not be more thankful to fox news, roger ailes and everybody on this floor. Best, best year ever, better with friends and thank you for you all. Thank you for letting me be in your breakfast kitchen room. Since you brought that up, talking about all the maces people watch pleases people watch fox
news. We would love to have you send a picture of where you watch fox friends. Please be wearing clothes. If its at the gym, Dunkin Donuts wherever it is, email them to us at friends foxnews. Com or twitter us. Use the hash tag better with friends. I was stunned its only been a year. Think about everything thats taken mace this year. And we have a unique retrospective to end the show like none before. Thats all im going to say. Like battle of the Network Stars. Physical challenge . Yes. Its a surprise. And every one of them weve lost. I can see something in your eyes. Thats what happens when you work with an olympian. Weve got a busy three hours. It kicks off with a fox news alert. Overnight the u. S. Watching new airstrikes against isis terrorists, this on the heels of a serious warning to syrian
president Bashar Alassad not to talk our planes. Peter doocy is live in washington with the latest details. Good morning to you, peter. What do we know this morning . Reporter there is a new warning for syrian president Bashar Alassad ahead of increased action in the skies above his country as Senior Administration officials now say the United States knows where its military keeps their air defense systems. And if those guns take aim and fire on u. S. Warplanes carrying out missions against isis, then assads systems will be targeted. We are not going to be working with the assad regime or to be sharing our plans with them, as we have in have not in the past, as you know, because we think the people were going to be working with are the moderate opposition in syria. On capitol hill there will be a debate on the measure to give the president permission to arm Syrian Rebels as long as the president reports back to capitol hill about how
its going. But some lawmakers are worried the white house isnt willing to go far enough to fight isis. The Free Syrian Army is being attacked by both Bashar Alassad and by isis, and they have suffered hundreds of casualties at the hands of both. I know that they are not giving up their foit. I know we can make them strong and resilient. But arming and equipping 5,000 a year in the face of a 30,000man army means that the United States of america is not serious. The first thing on the president s schedule today is an Oval Office Meeting with retired marine general john allen who is now working as a special envoy to the coalition against isis. Thanks a lot, peter. On this whole operation, this is like splitting hairs. Were going to be threading a needle because there is a danger of us being assads air force. This is a danger of us
wiping out isis to our benefit and safety but to the ultimate benefit of iran and assad because they would survive and they would thrive in a reformed iraq and an empowered assad. How are we doing this . Training the pharmacists and doctors and dentists as the president described in saudi arabia is going to take years. There is a line between conversation, communication and coordination with iran. There seems to be a blurred line there as well and danger as you mentioned brian. Weve got details of a story. It is a scandal in d. C. That threatens to derail Hillary Clinton. New explosive revelations from Cheryl Attkisson, former Investigative Reporter at cbs. She has now uncovered the fact that a fellow who was the former Deputy Assistant secretary at the department of state, a man by the name of Raymond Maxwell, he was so incensed by hearing
whats going on in the defense of the benghazi probe that the a. I. B. Had unfettered access to all the documents, he has come forward and saying that is not true because one weekend he went into the department of state and there was one of the people who work for him this was afterhours on a weekend in a room not normally gone to. All the benghazi documents were in the room, and the charge was this find anything that makes hillary or anybody on the seventh floor that looks back, take it out and give it to one of hillarys pals. According to attkissons investigation. Were going to speak to her at 7 15. Her exclusive information coming to you on this bombshell when she says were going to go through these stacks and put anything in the Near Eastern Affairs department, which is what he was a part of, front office or the seventh noor in a bad light seventh floor in a
bad light in the baseman level, though he says he was not invited to go to the basement level. There was zero coverage of it last night on abc, news and cbs. That is so weird because Cheryl Attkisson used to work at cbs. You would think they would be interested in it, but no. Everyone is tuned out of benghazi right now and that pales it were not. Hope people are paying attention to the special prosecutor not the special prosecutor but the select committee that is going to start tomorrow with their hearing that is going to go for about three months. You know who should be most outraged about everybody . Admiral mullen and thomas pickering, two of the members of the a. R. B. They said wait, i have my reputation on this. I told everyone there is no there there. Now they found out they didnt get efg they needed for this investigation, they should be calling a press conference because
they have embarrassed them. Admiral mullen doesnt look good in this because it is reported he apparently contacted your witnesses isnd said not very good. Pickering said i never would have done that. But the fact that it is not being covered by any of the Mainstream Media aside from fox just depicts the hypocrisy here and how Mainstream Media are trying to protect hillary, so says dr. Charles krauthammer. This is really serious. This is a coverup. Imagine somebody stumbled in on the Nixon Administration in a warehouse or in a basement in the state department sorting documents. That would have been on the post front page for seven days in a row. If it comes out in testimony as opposed to a news report, it will be very significant. It will be significant. And the key is in this Cheryl Attkisson report, there are other people in the room who doubtless will be called to testify. Mr. Raymond maxwell has already been deposed by the
select committee. Look for him as one of the first witnesses. From something that is not going to be sitting well with the American People now that theyre hearing about it, because they didnt on the other networks last night to this. Completely tasteless story. Urban outfitters selling a throw back, a kent state sweatshirt with bloodstains on it. Apologized saying this is not what they wanted for publicity but to go back to 1970 and allude to a time when four students shot dead, nine injured after 150 were being called to go to war and the college was going to be shut down at the time because of the they the. They said this happens to be the natural wearing of the sweatshirt. You notice the natural red. I guess it sold like crazy until it got pulled back. One person who purchased it was attempting to sell it for ten times the amount on ebay. Urban outfitters has a history of coming out with tshirts they think are clever and they put them on the market and then have to apologize for them. The average person who shops there is fairly young. The person who put them out there is banking on the fact would perhaps miss the message. There are so many people who dont know the story of kent state. That is a cool ohio school. I think ill buy that shirt. Weve got a busy morning on this tuesday. Ainsley earhardt is in with us, and we start with weather. We do. An extreme weather alert for you. Warning millions of people in the southeast about a Tropical Storm headed your way. Odile.

Scotland considering a split from the u. K. To become its own independent nation. British Prime MinisterDavid Cameron warned to scotland what would happen if they vote yes. It would mean half of scottish mortgages suddenly from one day to the next being provided by banks in a foreign country. It would mean that Interest Rates in scotland are no longer set by the bank of england with all the stability and security that promises. And it would mean for any banks that remain in scotland, if they ever got into trouble, it would be scottish taxpayers and scottish taxpayers alone that would bear the costs. What would the consequences be for the u. S. . Here to explain why it matters to us, stuart varney. Stuart, it would be bad for
the u. K. But good for us . How . Because a scottish independent vote, if they say yes, were splitting apart, were separate, that would create enormous instability especially in the u. K. And for all of europe. Instability anywhere in the world means hot money flows to america. The most stable, the country with real growth, a stable democracy. The money comes here. You could say an independent scotland, a vote for that would mean the money comes here. That would be good for america in a certain sense. But this instability it would create is bad news for everybody. Scotland saying we want to be on our own. We have a lot of oil revenue, were an established nation. We even have our own soccer team. Well still be friends with england. That is par for the course. Got that. But what currency are they going to use . The euro or new currency of their own. What are they going to do . They dont know. Are they going to be a member of the European Union . If they vote for independence theyre out of the e. U. And would have to reapply. What about all those independence movements across europe . The dutch speakers in belgium, they want to be separate. That creates enormous instability in europe at a time when theyre all in recession and half of them are bankrupt. What are the ramifications to englands economy should this vote go against them . For englands economy, again, it is the uncertainty and anxiety of separation. What do they counter them with . Nato has the british have the Trident Submarine with Nuclear Weapons on board. They are based in scotland. Scotland has said we dont want nukes. If we go independent, we want those nukes out. Where are they going to go . Who gets the oil . And what steve wants to
know most of all, who gets the scotch . The scotch will still be a product of the world but the oil is debatable. How much of the former parent country goes to Great Britain . How much to scotland . It is total uncertainty. I hope they dont do it. It is unbelievable we have to fight for our freedom. They get to vote for theirs. The same people. From 11 to 1, what are you going to be doing . A lot of on the scottish independent vote. Big deal. Stuart, great to see you. Ten minutes before the bottom of the hour. Coming up straight ahead, it is a myth of conservative women. Theyre meek and only defer to men. Our next guest says no and shes here to prove the change in the perception. Did the gold fish really go under the knife to avoid the final thrush . Im not afraid.
