That part of the forecast and a look at the weekend, too, coming announcer youre wat new calls for an investigation this morning after the release of the ray rice assault video. A new jersey state senator wants to know why a county prosecutor allowed rice to enter a pretrial Probation Program rather than press charges immediately. Last night steve busineisciot s they ask for the tapes. They said they should have pursued their own investigation more gorously. Meanwhile, nfl commissioner Roger Goodell said the league also tried to get the elevator video but was denied. In an interview with cbs he was asked how tmz got the video if he couldnt. He said he relied on Law Enforcement and he dropped the ball. We didnt get this right. Thats my responsibility and im accountable for that. I would tell you what we saw in the first videotape was troubling to us in and of itself, about you what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic and it was sickening and thats why we took the action we took yesterday. The League Suspended ray rice indefinitely, but a new policy only calls for six game suspension for first offenders of domestic violence. That opens the door for rice to play for a Different Team later this season. Goodell said hed have to be confident rice addressed his personal issues and paid a price before allowing him to play again. This morning were getting an interesting and maybe surprising perspective from the wives of several former nfl players. While they understand the outrage from the rice tape, many say the public shouldnt judge the couple while theyre trying to rebuild. Theyre just feeling very ostracized, like youre not helping. Everybody is continually making us relive this when were trying to heal and grow from this. I do believe the nfl mishandled this situation tremendously. The nfl can figure out who draft picks or potential draft picks are dating, what their grades are in the school but they couldnt find this video. He doesnt have to remain a bad guy. He needs some help. You know, it was wrong what happened. Most of the wives also added that they are not gold diggers and nfl families are not that different from any other family in america. Encouraging, thats how doctors are describing the recovery of a third american infected with ebola. Rick sacra is being treated at a specialized Treatment Facility in nebraska. His doctors say he is becoming more alert and active. Sakra became infected while working in liberia. A fourth member arrived in the u. S. Yesterday. Hes being treated in atlanta where two other americans are being cured. Dr. Kent brantley is one of those cured americans, and he recently thanked the organization he was working for when he contracted the ebola virus. Brantley and his family had been serving in liberia with samaritans purse for ten months when he fell ill. These are pictures from his address. Yesterday he thanked Staff Members in person for their prayers. He said, quote, im going to keep telling my story so i can remember what god has done in my life. And right now the white house is starting the groundwork for International Support against isis. Secretary of state john kerry met with iraqs new Prime Minister in baghdad this morning. The u. S. Has constantly pushed the need for an inclusive government for more support can be given it isis. Kerrys focus will be on forming a coalition against the militants. New poll shows the American People are in favor of military action against isis, and for moren that were joined by kerry dann, a Political Writer for nbc. Good morning, kerry. Good morning. Tell us about this poll on how people feel. This poll showed a surprising amount of support for military intervention in iraq and syria. 61 of respondents to the poll said that they do believe that military intervention is in the national interest. Now compare that to a year ago when the president was talking about airstrikes in syria. Just 20 of americans said the same. Obviously the threat from isis, the beheading of those two journalists that were so widely disseminated and so many people have seen that now, thats really increased american willingness to say, lets put airstrikes and even a third of respondents said im willing to put troops on the ground. We saw on that chart 40 want it limited to airstrikes. Is that surpri low number or surprisingly high number . Thats surprisingly high number. Also another 1 3 of americans said boots on the ground are acceptable to them. Combined youre looking at 3 4 of the american electorate saying we need to address this now. For a war weary nation, thats a big zblum that poll had a question about the countrys safety. Do we feel more safe now or less safe than before 9 11. 47 of people said that they feel less safe than they did before theattack. Thats the highest that number has been since september 11 itself, the highest number weve seen. 26 of people, one of the lowest numbers that weve seen, say that they feel more safe. Obviously this threat from isis has really increased fear among the American People and concern that isis is something that could come home and they want to address this threat while they can now. The president has a chance to talkbout that tonight. Will this make his job a little bit easier seeing these kind of numbers . I think it does. The president instead of trying to convince the American People, we need to do this. Hes been in situations where hes tried to convince the American People that we needed to take military action. Now hes meeting them where they are. Hes supposed to announce airstrikes from syria. It looks like americans are by and large ready to say, sure, whatever it takes. We will know 9 00 tonight what he has to say. Im sure the polls will reflect by tomorrow right. How americans react. Absolutely. Well be watching. For more from kerry and the rest of the nbc News Political Team check out first read on nbc news. Com. We will be carrying the president s address right here on nbc news 4.
