Jennifer griffin live four says at the pentagon. What is the pentagon hoping to hear from the president . Well, one thing, gretchen, that all military officials agree upon is that air strikes alone will not be able to fight isis. A Senior Defense official tells me they dont need a surge, but they do need about 1,000 military advisor on the ground to interact. Right now there are about 300 advisors there. The rest are supposed to be providing security to american personnel. It comes to congress with some the authorization that we had previously in iraq under president bush is certainly long expired. Until we know what the strategy is, we dont know whats going to be involved. So its critically important that we take these in some organized steps, and the first step is whats the plan . The president is likely to prepare the American Public for greater involvement in iraq, to include a broadening of air strikes, were told. Secretary kerry is in the region trying to build a coalition with saudi arabia, but all of these arab allies, again, are reportedly asking for the u. S. To take the lead. Grechb. Very interesting. How important is the creation of the new Iraqi Government thats supposedly happening right now . Well, it is absolutely crucial to u. S. Military involvement or further u. S. Military involvement. The new Prime Minister narrowly formed the government late last night in a very heated, contentious session. Former Prime Minister nuri almaliki is named Vice President , meaning he is still a key part of the government, hugely problematic for the americans. Kurding only fwraeed to join the government for a threemonth trial period. They could pull out at any time. The shiites are angry because of the head of the contingent brigade was supposed to be the interior minister, but International Pressure forced the new Prime Minister to withdraw his name from consideration. This government, this new Iraqi Government, is very shaky, and what is important is that if it fails to bring unity, no amount of u. S. Military intervention will make any difference. What can president obama say to convince the American People that he has a strategy for taking on isis . Especially after dismissing the terror group as a jd tease. Remember he said that just a few months ago. He said recently he had new strategies for aing them out in syria. Speaking of the American People, they support such an effort. They speak to troops who ask for it to be executed, and he has to speak to allies who are associated right now with this coalition. Probably they are looking for that forceful and clear leadership. Two things in particular. I think if he is going to be serious about this approach, he has to talk about syria. In the second case he has to be very direct. Specifically about boots on the ground. He said no boots on the ground, but theres a difference between special operators and conventional troops. Will he blur that line to open the door, which as jennifer said, military analysts all agree that at some point were going to have to have boots on the ground. Well, you really have boots on the ground in iraq, and having a Mission Going on right now, but we really just havent named it. To me andore interested in what you think. Is it more about his actions after the speech, or actually what he said . I think its about both. I really do. He has been so waffling, so all overtime map with his articulation of the strategy, he has to look into that camera and clearly articulate a strategy that links with operational goals and then the tactics that meet it. He has to say this is the nature of the threat, this is how were going to strategically approach it. These are the tactics were going to use. These are the folks were going to work with both internationally, regionally, and local kurdish and iraqi forces. Then youre right. The American People of the world and our enemies will be watching. How do we follow through . How many does america lead . One other thing that americans are thinking of right now when theyre watching this broadcast is what about the homeland . What about the safety of the homeland . Josh ernest, the president s spokesperson, just asked that question. They are clearly destabilizing an already volatile region of the world. Thats why they exercise influence. Politically and diplomatly, and even militarily. The other concern that we have is right now isil is operating at a virtual safe haven in syria, and the United States is not aware of any active plotting thats yrnd way to attack the homeland. As we establish a safe haven in syria. I mean, i listen to that, and i think havent we known about that for a couple of weeks, even months now . This is nothing new. This is where why were doing this. Its to defend america, americas interests, the homeland, our people. We cannot tolerate heads being schopd off and then future threats. We are doing this not on some grand nationbuilding exercise. Were going to support democracy. Were doing this because our National Security interests are threatened. Another problem on the homefront. Shocking reports in the Washington Examiner about the Veterans AffairsInspector General report on vets dying at v. A. Hospitals across our country. Senate lawmakers holding key hearings today grilling the acting Veterans AffairsInspector GeneralRichard Griffin after the report claims that the i. G. Let Agency Officials alter crucial language in the final report. Its unbelievable. The specific change in report said this piece. While the case reviews the documents poor quality of care, we are unable to conclusively assert that the absence of timely quality care caused the deaths of these veterans. Pete, how the heck could this happen . That they would allow the very institutions that was being investigated to change the report . I am outraged. The only thing he should be doing is pulling the scab off this enfekted system, showing it for what it is so we can perform it and provide quality care. Heres another instance where the v. A. Got in the middle of an independent investigation and said, no, no, no, dont tell it like it really is. Change the language. Hang the talking points. Where have we heard this before is this this is exactly heats happened at the v. A. Its only going to feed more mistrust. No death certificates reads long wait times. Thats what theyre taking about. If you have stage two cancer and they wait for months and the advance is stage three or stage four and you die, that wait time caused or was part of that death. Thats what the report doesnt admit. Thank you. Fox news has this. A spokesperson for the new jersey state attorney general says it would have been illegal to release the ray rice video to the nfl. The new video of ray rice in the elevator punching his then fiance in the head, knocking her out cold, packing quite a punch for the rest of us as we continue to see this. Major questions still today about what the ravens and what the nfl knew and when they knew it. Time to dig into the real story with judge andrew napolitano, fox news ae senior analyst. The new jersey state attorney general says, hey, it would have been against the law to give the nfl the video. It would have been against the law for the government, for the attorney general himself or the county prosecutor in atlanta county way down at the bottom of new jersey geographically where atlanta city is locate to have surrendered the tape. It would not have been illegal for tmz and those folks to have surrendered it. It would have been illegal for the government to have done so. Lets say because people are saying that ray rices attorney actually had this video inside the elevator. Not just the one that we saw originally of ray rice dragging his fiance outside of the elevator. I dont know. Its unknown to anyone other than the attorneys who they had. If they had it, they have absolutely no obligation to surrender it to the government. The defendant has no obligation to give evidence against himself to the government. Rather, the government has the obligation to give evidence against the defendant to the defendant and his lawyer at the outset of the prosecution. But you believe that if, in fact, the video was in the hands of ray races attorney, that the prosecution probably had uncovered it as well . Yes. Fral, these prosecutions are generally thorough, and the prosecutor has vastly more resources to gather evidence than ray rices lawyer does. It is for sure the case that ray races lawyers got this tape from government investigators or prosecutors. The nfl could have gone not to the prosecutor to get the video, but they could have gone to whom . They said have gone to the hotel to ask for it, and if the hotel didnt surrender, there could have been an action in court for it. They could have gone to harvey levin and tmz and ray rice. Look, his lawyer would not have surrendered it. He had no obligation to do so, but there is an argument if the hotel had an aring obligation to have surrendered it. All right. Does the nfl face any legal problems right now in this whole dustup . Not from the government. The nfls decision to discipline ray rice or not to discipline ray rice is an internal matter between the nfl, the ravens, the players association, and ray rice, and their fan base, the nfl has a huge fan base they have to be concerned about. They have no legal obligation to do so. Could anybody sue the nfl because ray rice was not disciplined as quickly or as aggressively as a lot of people think he should have . I think such a lawsuit would be well have much more on the ray rice story coming up. Judge, thank you so much. Youre welcome.

Reports of more than 200 homes flooded and more than a dozen water rescues took place, and the bad part is that its not over yet. Forecasters say the southwest expected to get hit with at least another inch of rainfall throughout tonight. Time for real talk. Members of the 9 11 commission blasting members of congress saying lawmakers are partly to blame for the rise of isis because they failed to carry out recommendations the panel made more than ten years ago. The commissions also slamming congress saying theyve been reactive to what the president has said. They put forth nothing. They have done nothing. Got a feeling this could be some real and heated talks with alan combs, host of the alan combs show and the radio host in washington d. C. All right, guys. Larry, let me give you the first crack at it. The 9 11 panel says congress pointing the finger back at you. You guys have done and gals nada. Well, the good news here, gretchen, is its too late to blame george bush for this because thats what theyve been doing. Of course not. Here we go. Scrambling going on in washington. The scrambling from democrats trying desperately to make their president look president ial is pathetic. Heres the problem. Ill give you an example. Peter king is a serious man. Is he the chair of the subcommittee on Homeland Security with regard to counterterrorism. Whenever he does have a hearing, whenever he does raise the alarm, whenever he does point out the very real threat, people like, well, amman combs, they start destroy him for it. I do . Peter king said i think this is a terrorist attack. I think we have all of the data that tells us its a terror attack, and you made fun of him for that. I think i relayed what he said. Oh, no. Alan, respond to that. Alan, respond to that. Is larry right . I think we are ginning up fear in people saying we have to use the word terror, terrorist attack. We have to gin up about isis for the purpose of going in to once again fight a war we shouldnt have fought in the first place, and bush and cheney, had we not gone into iraq and had we left Saddam Hussein in power, this would not be happening. We have to go back to the root of this and see what led. I know conservatives hate when i say this. You cant ignore what led to this in the first place. Listen, we all learn from history. We all make mistakes. The fact of the matter is, were in 2014, and ice ice is breathing down our neck. No, theyre not. Oh really . Theyre actually taking peoples necks off. No, theyre not. Snoo theyre taking peoples necks off. Oh, my gosh, we have to go in and do something. Look, i dont agree with president obama that its not what, 500 myings now, 500 Bombing Missions in northern iraq. Drones over syria. Were ginning up for another war that we should not fighting. All right. I think youre proving my point. Were changing topics a little bit because the point of it was we have congress to blame, larry . I know. Exactly. I think alan is proving my point. As soon as republicans in Congress Actually do raise the flag and they point out the very real threat. People like alan attack them for it. Im going after democrats too. Not just republicans. I think both parties have this wrong. So you agree with the 9 11 commission, alan, then . Yes, i do. Congress is also to blame, and its not just the president . Yes. Thats correct. The 9 11 Commission Also pointed out, also with thomas kane, the head of the commission, that they have not listened to many of the proposals. For example, there are 92 committees and subcommittees in congress that have oversight over the department of Homeland Security, and they cant get anything done because of the tremendous amount of layers they have to go through, and they need to change the structure in order to accomplish anything. They havent listened what the 9 11 commission has said. Well, i am thrilled that alan combs agree that is a lot of layers and a Big Government bureaucracy is a bad thing. However, tim kane is not a good person to cite for a democrat. He is an establishment thats a terrible thing. One thing for sure, it was real, and it was heated. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thanks, gretchen. All right. We havent heard a lot about the u. S. Marine jailed in mexico, right . Guess what, a lot could happen today because he is back in court right now.
