allowed access to the white house. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. fair, balanced and unafraid, greta goes on the record right now. this is a fox news alert. an al qaeda group ready to strike the u.s. a u.s. intelligence officer says khorasan was operational and in the final stages of plans to attack the u.s. homeland or europe. and last less than 24 hours ago, the u.s. launched air strikes in syria, bombing eisis targets inside syria first, john kirby, just moments ago, we spoke with him about the latest u.s. military action. admiral, thank you for join being us, sir. thanks for having me. what did khorasan have 24 hours ago that it doesn t have right now? we re still assessing the effects of the strikes that we took against the khorasan group in syria. we do know we hit what we were aiming at. some of it was their weapons-making capabilities and command-and-control. we re still assessing the effectiveness, the thoroughness of those strikes, and we ll know probably in the next day or so. how long have they been on our radar screen? i thought isis was our target in iraq and in syria. now i m hearing about khorasan. how long have they been on our so-called radar screen? we ve been watching this group khorasan for quite some time now. we ve been aware of them. they re a derivative of al qaeda, an offshoot of al nusra. while it may be a new name to many americans, it s not a new name to the defense department or intelligence community. we know what they re planning, and that s what led to the urgency of the strikes last night. what were they planning and has it been thwarted? they were planning attacks against western targets, either in europe or in the u.s. homeland. we also know they were very close to the end game on those efforts, and they getting close to the execution. it s hard to pinpoint exactly how long, but we know they were getting near the end just based on intelligence we were able to collect. i m not at liberty to go into too much detail about the attack itself, but i can tell you they were getting close. if we were fully successful in these strikes we believe we will have been able to thwart those attacks, but, again, we still need to wait and watch and take another look. okay. i note you use the word targets, i don t want to push you any further i know you don t want to tell me, and i got that. but does the pentagon know what the targets are or were? they re very specific? we have specific intelligence, specific information about the nature of the attack. that s really as far as i m able to go. now turn to isis. what did isis have 24 hours ago that it doesn t have right now in syria? we hit targets that get right at isil s community, excuse me, targets that fwekt their ability to command-and-control, to sustain themselves, to train themselves to recrete. we know that we hit hard targets that they have been using to sustain themselves in the fight in iraq and frankly, in syria. and this is not just like any other terrorest group. this is a dwrun that tries to grab ground. they have governing expectations. you ve seen some of the video and images. we know we hit what we were aiming at. we will be assessing for quite some time to get a better sense of how effective we were. but we know these strikes were at the very least successful. have we heard from the assad regime, president assad of syria since this happened? we ve been, from the military perspective, greta, we ve not been in any communication with the assad regime, before, during or after. do you know of others within the government that has been in contact with the assad regime before, during or after? through, through our u.n. ambassador the assad regime was notified of our intent to conduct air strikes in syria, but there was no deep-level coordination or communication about that, and certainly, again, from a military perspective, we have not and have no plans to coordinate our activities with the assad regime. we have been told that this is going to be a long, sustained effort to get isis. how do you define lock and sustained? is that a day? week? years? can you give me a little more of a time frame? sure, i think to put it simply, we need to steel ourselves for an effort that could take years, greta. everybody s here at the pentagon about the scope of this challenge and how significant it is to our interest, to our people in the region, but also to the interest of our partners and allies. and i think that you saw arab nations, sunni arab nations participate in air operations last night. that s a real statement. it speaks volumes of how they, too, share the significance of this threat. i think we re very, very honest with ourselves about the challenge here and we re prepared to be at this for a while. but in terms of scope, i would say, yeah, probably years. no matter which way you fall on any of this, i think we can all be proud of our military for executing a plan well done. no one has heard, at least not on our side. thank you very much for joining us. thanks for having me, greta. why now? what maid the unit decide to strike in syria right now? jennifer griffin live at the pentagon with the latest. reporter: we ve just learned that there were two additional air strikes carried out this morning at the end of the third wave of air strikes, raising the number of targets hit to 24. the president authorized the air strikes last thursday after visiting cent-com. the arab coalition came together in the past four days. that s when the u.s. decided it was ready to strike. cent-com commander lloyd austin gave the command on monday and they began at 8:30 eastern last night. the first missiles fired came from the uss army burk and the uss philippine sea. 47 tomahawk missiles were fired at command and control headquarters of the khorasan group, a group made up of pakistani and afghan fighters that u.s. officials claim was plotting against the united states. this group is a rival of isis. pentagon officials say the mission to defeat isis could take years. the significance of saudi and emiraty and jordanians cannot be understated. five nations joined this mission including qatar which flew but did not drop bombs. they targeted this group of pakistan and afghani fighters. they are a rival to isis. it was suggested they had entered a new phase of plotting against the u.s. and the west, possibly the homeland. jennifer, we re now, u.s. intelligence official says that khorasan was operational, was operational. is it still operational? because you know, we hit a lot of buildings and everything, but what makes everyone think that it is not still operational? what we know from pentagon officials that we talked to today is that they were not targeting high-value targets, the leaders of these groups. they were not going after any big names. and in fact, we know that the leader of khorasan, there was a tweet this morning suggesting he d been killed, but pentagon and intelligence officials say they have no indication he was killed. so in essence, the leaders of eye significance and the chore son group survived. the question is, will they try to target them. right now that does not seem to be part of this mission. and also, without boots on the ground, remember, greta, it is not that easy to, you need to be able to capture people, interrogate them to get the top leadership. it may not be mission, but everyone is wondering whether khorasan is operational still and whether they still plan on fulfilling their latest terrorism threat. anyway, jennifer, thank you. and the pentagon insisting the obama administration did not coordinate with the assad regime, but the u.s. did inform syria through our u.n. ambassador of our intent to take military action. so is thebama administration walking a fine line here? john bolden joins us. it s looking at the reports it doesn t look like assad is seriously upset because we helped kill his enemy. that s correct. but the difficulty here that the administration doesn t fully realize is that we ve got multiple enemies sitting right next to each other. and certainly the strike against isis was warranted and long overdue and presumably against khorasan as well, but that doesn t mean that it s to our advantage to see the assad regime encouraged or built up or given any sense that the united states is now prepared to accept its continued existence. and iran needs to know that even more directly. well, what gave us permission to do this? or gave us, you know, justification was the fact that at least the white house is saying is that iraq invited us in to help, and that iraq was being attacked by groups in syria, meaning isis. we, then, of course went on to go after a group that s threatening us which was not part of article 51, but i m curious if there s been any sort of backlash by the u.n., whether or not that we do have, that we were justified by article 51. i don t think we have to be justified by article 51. i couldn t care less in a sense. the united states has an inherent right of self-defense, whatever the u.n. charter says. that would be against khorasan. would that be against isis as well? of course. what the obama administration is saying is they did it for iraq. well, of course that s what they re going to say, because they don t want to be involved at all. they don t have their heart in it. the administration wishes they weren t going through this. but if you have to construct a legal definition, that s what article 51 says, that every nation retains the right of self-defense. but the united states has a right of self-defense independent of the u.n. charter. it didn t arise in 1945. is it not significant that we did get a coalition of five nations going alongside with us? is that not hugely significant? here s why it s newsworthy. not that the five arab nations joined us, but that we finally got off our posterior and joined them. they ve been allied with the united states. i m going to leave qatar aside for the second, but the other four have been tearing their hair out at the weakness and the threat that isis poses to them. i think they were delighted to fly with us and wished they could have done it six weeks ago. ambassador, thank you. and the pentagon warning that the battle will not be a quick one. we are striking through the depths of isil s formations because we are trying to disrupt their support bases. while we enable in iraq their iraqi security forces with the help of partners to dislodge and ultimately remove isil from iraq. could this take years? i would think of it in terms of years, yes. and nice to see you, sir. thank you, greta. a u.s. official says khorasan was operational and in the final stage of plans to attack the u.s. homeland or europe. that s why we attacked. right. what i don t get from anyone, is khorasan now handled? are they still in the operational stages? nobody knows. the taker of khorasan is that they bring two things to bear that are still out there. number one is the technology to develop second-generation bombs. this is non-metallic bombs that cannot be sniffed out by dogs. the second thing they bring since they re in syria is the ability to get a u.s., western passport holder. we say you can shoot at 50 meter targets. khorasan is a 50-meter target because all they had to do is put those two elements together, put this guy on an airplane and the results would have been a disaster. any idea why they didn t drop any bombs? what s so interesting is they from flying mirage 2,000s. i guess they were just up there boring holes in the sky. you think it s peculiar? i think it s weird. but it s a good thing that the other four states dropped bombs. the idea that they could put together these coalitions and strikes and the idea that they had intel jengs, good intelligence is pretty impressive by cent-com. what s next, tonight? no. we re going to continue this drip, drip, drip. their is a bombing campaign that s more of an aggravation than decisive. and it s going to last for years. and until we re able to put eyes on the ground, special forces into syria to start killing the middleman and the leadership in syria, the long-term effects of these periodic bombing strikes are not going to be decisive. all the attention has been on isis and this little group of khorasan that we have heard about. it s like that sort of a real and new threat that i think many of us woke up to today. absolutely. and what scares me, the bottom line is, these people are still there, and they have a sanctuary in syria, and they have the syrians looking the other way. and now they have the technology to start this all over again. it scares me to death. thank you, sir. thank you, greta. this is a fox news alert. police issuing an arrest warrant in connection with the disappearance of university of virginia student hannah graham. just minutes ago, the police chief announced the development. this afternoon we reached that point where the commonwealth felt we had sufficient probable cause to seek an arrest warrant. so we appeared before a magistrate, detective sergeant mooney did, late this afternoon and obtained an arrest warrant for jesse leroy matthew junior of charlottesville, charging him with a class two felony of abduction with the intent to defile. now i ve learned and on the record is investigating this case. we went to the home of jesse matthews grandmother. we ll show you what we found coming up. and new information about the chor son terrorists. they were ready to attack, having gone from the plotting and research phase to the carrying out phase. so you can enjoy that second home sooner. know the right financial planning can help you save for college and retirement. know where you stand with pnc total insight. a new investing and banking experience with personalized guidance and online tools. visit a branch, call or go online today. introducing a pm pain reliever that dares to work all the way until the am. new aleve pm the only one with a safe sleep aid. plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. iwith something terrible to admit. i treated thousands of patients, risked their lives, while high on prescription drugs. i was an addict. i m recovered now, but an estimated 500,000 medical professionals are still out there, abusing drugs or alcohol. police, airline pilots, bus drivers. they re randomly tested for drugs and alcohol. but not us doctors. you can change that: vote yes on proposition 46. your lives are in our hands. this is a fox news alert. it is not just isis. most of us were stunned to find out today that u.s. air strikes in syria also targeted another terror group, an al qaeda group who the obama administration says was nearing the execution phase here or in europe. kathrcatherine herridge joins u. i get it today who they are. what s the story? the khorasan group is really like the old boys club of al qaeda. these are folks that go way back with osama bin laden. they have family ties with him, and they trained in the camps in the 90s before 9/11. so this is kind of al qaeda seen ro senior leadership in syria. apparently the reason why the pentagon and the white house says they struck is because they ve gone from the plotting and research phase into the operational phase. what i don t get though, is if we did last night eliminated them or is the operational phase still in tact. where are they? one of the reasons that we went when we did is because we had updated location information for the leadership of the khorasan group. so we knew they were moving towards executing a plot. can you know that, but if you don t have good information about where they are, there s no point launching strikes. number two, just because you put them under pressure or take out some of the leadership, you re not really getting at the cancer at the heart of this, and these are the bomb makers who ve been trained to use the nonmetallic bombs such as the underwear bomb. you cannot drone this group out of existence in simple terms. we don t have confidence that they have been finished. they have been hit, but that s all. they are under pressure. and they re going to go to ground. but you can t have confidence that the operation is over, because it s bigger than just a single individual. cathrine thank you. we heard about the threat of khorasan, but it was not long ago that president obama said this. al qaeda is on the run, and we have decimated their leadership. al qaeda is on the run. a new tower rises above the new york skyline. al qaeda is on the path to defeat. al qaeda s on the run, al qaeda s on the run. today, al qaeda is on the run. the war in iraq is over. the war in afghanistan is ending. al qaeda is on the run. osama bin laden is dead. and joe trippi joins us. do you want to respond to all that? it looks like al qaeda is not on the run. well, they are. they re not gone. these guys were with osama bin laden. he s dead. now they re in syria, and they just got hit again. and they re running begin. as kathryn said, you re never going to extinguish every single one of these guys. you have to know where they are and monitor them and our intelligence said now is the time. they re trying to get operational, and we hit them. when he was at the democrat convention in 2012, he said al qaeda is on the path to defeat. i would not use that description. today we spend more of our time worrying about isil and that s wrong. there are other cells out there like this one that can be a much bigger threat to the unit today than isil is today. is the president s commencement of operations in syria, does that have any impact for democrats in the midterm elections? i don t think so. look, i just don t think that his approval ratings or anything else, any action he takes right now is really going to change the dynamic of the low approval ratings he has in terms of how it impacts democrats. they re all fighting their own races out there, staying competitive. he s going to be an anchor on them, and that s not coming off, no matter how successful these raids are. how about the impact on secretary of state hillary clinton runs in 2016. is this something that will have an impact on her? i don t think so at all. i think hillary clinton s going to stand on her own in 2016 if she runs. i m still not sure that she will. but i am not sure that anything the prid does right now is going to impact her standing. it doesn t seem that they re connected in that way. i know people try to do it, but she ran against them. they definitely have differences, and syria, arming the syrian rebels was one of them. how about vice president biden? he didn t run against them, he ran with him. yeah, he s got to carry the obama record with him. i mean, that s just the way this thing works. hillary clinton opposed him. he beat her. she went into his administration. she gave him advice, he didn t take it. i mean, these are all well-documented things that are not going to change. leon panetta said the same thing. i don t think she s going to be hurt much by anything the president does or doesn t. successor failure won t abide to her. so biden s married to him, she isn t. right. and it s a surprise. five arab nations attacking a sunni militant group. what does this mean for the region?

jason bellini joins us. defense officials told us that the vast majority of the strikes were fired by the u.s. and they were concentrated in three areas of syria, and there were three rounds of strikes. the first one involved cruise missiles aimed at the al qaeda group khorasan. they re in the far northwest corner of syria, near aleppo and raqqah. now only the u.s. was involved in this round of strikes. and those missiles hit at least two khorasan training camps. now jordan, united arab emirates and bahrain were involved. and the finance center was struck. the third wave was against targets in eastern syria. and we also have images today of a purported islamic state residence near the iraqi border. and, this is just the beginning. jason, in terms of the training camps, do we have any kind of asisment as to how successful they were in hitting khorasan? well, the pentagon said that they were successful. what that means exactly, we don t know. and we don t have images that show us what that means exactly. but the pentagon is saying that the real main aim of last night s strike was to not go after individuals, not to go after foreheads, but to go after mechanisms they use to communicate, and that these were very precision weapons they were using to attack chore son and to disable their ability to carry out a potential strike against the united states and other allies. i guess i don t have enough of a sense of this khorasan. i would like to think they were all in one group and at the other end of a cruise missile. but for some reason i m believing they re spread out over europe with their passports. these are veteran al qaeda. do you have any the indication at all as to the breadth of this group? i was talking to a source today who was saying that, you know what, there really is no difference between al nusra, that s the al qaeda affiliate inside of syria and this drupe that khorasan that we re now hearing so much about. they re pretty much one and the same. and, yeah, they re spread out. and they re in multiple nodes, so s hard to assess what their numbers are. but pretty much, if it s al qaeda, you re pretty much talking about the same thing, according to sources i spoke with. jason, thank you. thank you. five arab countries taking part in strikes against isis in syria. joining us is president of the american forum for democracy. good evening. good evening. it s great to be with you. thanks for having me. nice to have you. what does this mean that we had five arab countries go along with us against these sunni militants? i think it s obvious that the president s intention was to make it clear that this is not a sunni versus shiite sectarian war, that he stayed away from the shiite access and used the sunni countries, but i think the reality is, i m not impressed, because what he s doing is allowing the sunni monarchies, the gulf autocratic mafia, if you will, to maintain status quo. in the wake of the arab awakening, we lost some major opportunities. we re sort of on the side of our friend anies that create the ideology that creates isis. and the reason the qatarys didn t drop any bombs, i believe, is one of the spiritual heades of the brotherhood is probably saying we don t want to have any blood on our hands to kill any fellow sunni muslims. i think that s the narrative we re missing. the other awkward twist is that we actually helped president assad because isis is a problem for him as well, and he s a guy who gases his people. so there s that ugly twist to it. so, what would you do? well, i think, the saddest thing is we don t have nato. the narrative we need to push is an arab awakening. the people want reform. they see the arab fascist dictators, and on the opposite side of the coin, the islamist faction, the hezba law. they re looking for a third pathway. this is about liberty, freedom, about the free syrian army to replace assad. the political nuclear winter that created isis was because of american absence. that s the narrative. unfortunately is that we re pushing the old status quo of arab monarchies. the free syrian army, have they changed in the last year? because i know there was some discussion to arm them or equip them a year ago, does it make much difference that we re a year late on this? it does. they become more radicalized. but there are secular parts of them that we cannot find, the ones that are there for jihad. the more we do nothing, the more radicalized they become and the more unsettled the entire region is. so we need to at least show some push, if you will, towards the anti-assad movement that is more liberal rather than jihadist. thank you. i can t resist the little trivia that he s from appleton, wisconsin originally. thank you. thank you. and it s being dubbed the latte salute. the unusual gesture. plus the arrest warrant just issued in the case of the missing student. i remember when i wouldn t give a little cut a second thought. when i didn t worry about the hepatitis c in my blood. when i didn t think twice about where i left my razor. hep c is a serious disease. take action now. go to hepc.com or call 1-844-444-hepc to find out how you and your doctor can take the next step towards a cure. because the answers you need, may be closer than they appear. i got this.

just hours after thanking the troops, he saluted two marines by holding a coffee cup in one hand. some are calling it the latte salute. john, first, how about that salute? the whole world s watching to see how our president does, and probably it s a minor gaff. minor gaff? you re not supposed to salute with things in your hand, but this would be way, way, way down on the list. tiny. susan? part of the larger narrative, that he doesn t have a lot of reverence for the military. he s practically upside down on where he was a few years ago on foreign policy after he helped kill osama bin laden, but i think his poll numbers are probably going to improve. the poll was not taking in account last night. i think he ll start looking better, but only for a certain time. i think the lack of the strategy, the tone of the long mission in the middle east. it s a precarious situation for him. i think the handling of terrorism will go up as long as we don t get hit. i m troubled by this thing with khoran. they d gone behind the plotting and planning but they d gone to operational, which means ready to go. i don t know if hitting buildings defeats that or not. and this is a newell e that comes after this poll. republicans in this poll are the toughest against obama, obviously. they say he s not, he s not strong enough. but americans in this poll still said they don t want troops in the ground. some republicans say we need this. generals saying we need this. but on the campaign trail, as far as candidates and contested races, they re not saying it. so that s going to be an interesting thing to watch. do republicans in contested races start to come out and say we need more to be done? you can see the way the numbers have gone down, starting may 2011. look how high that was, 72%. and we haven t been hit by terrorism, but his numbers have gone down. as you pointed out correctly, the president run the platt forge that al qaeda was decimated. they re not decimated by any means, they re growing in power in the middle east. they have this terrorist army of 30,000 people. we don t know how many fighters were killed in syria and iraq yesterday. it s a very small number. this should have been launched months ago, al qaeda in iraq and isis, they were traveling down the road in open conveys. now they re hunkered down. there s more that can be done with air strikes. there s a photo someone should not have put on instagram for us to see. we haven t been hit by terrorism, so why is this number going down? there was the bombing at the boston marathon. these are things that lower the confidence. if you look at the poll number, those were taken, again before the strikes started. i think he ll start to improve on the terrorism aspect, but the whole quandary about people not wanting boots on the ground, and strategists saying nothing really can happen without boots on the ground. it s a real quandary. last night, numbers go up or down for the president? i think it s a very tough call. i think he s going to be in the 40s on every data point, whether it s the economy, immigration, foreign policy. you ve got a conflagration of events. there is a sense that he s a slow to this uptick. he s addressing this now. that hurts him, probably through the midterms, he s in the 40s. panel, thank you. let s all go off the record for a minute. a decision to go to war is the most important decision made on behalf of the nation. and last night the president made the decision without authorization from congress to bomb syria. this off the record is not whether the president s strategy is a smart one or not but a decision about syria should have been made a year ago or not. but about whether he should have made the decision to bomb without congress. if any members of congress have any problem at all, get on a plane and get back to d.c. and start the debate. not by describes from a campaign trail or some hastily sent press release or twitter account. they could have debated it last week but did not. war s a very serious issue. if any congress member, house or senate has an objection, get back now, not after midterms. and if no one shows up, it s fair to assume that congress feels that the president acted alone. if you are not here tomorrow, put up or shut up. and that s my off the record comment tonight. and straight ahead, news just in on theearch for the coed. live from virginia next.

reporter: tell me about jesse matthew. what was he like? i remember him being a standard cabdriver. he was nice, courteous to the customers. he was reliable. if i september him on an order, that order always got picked up. he didn t play games, you know, like some people do. and any feedback from clients was always positive. reporter: does a cabdriver have an expert knowledge of this area? in depth knowledge. very in depth knowledge. i can think of five or ten places to hide a body, easy, in this town. it s a smallish town. but the one thing people need to realize, cabdrivers we are consfatantly in our cars, 13 hos a day, constantly driving around the town, all the little nooks and crannies, where the stockyards are, over in hog waller, up to the little developments that you go in and there are 20 ways into it but only one way out of it. there are a lot of places in here that have nooks and crannies like that. and griff jenkins joins us live from charlottesville. i take the warrant s been executed by now or they don t now where he is. reporter: that s correct, greta. in a very short press conference, they said federal and state resources have been deployed to locate him. as you heard from his former taxi driver boss he was shocked that this nice fellow may have done this. and we are on the latest. we ve called the hospital as well, where he s currently employed, to get a reaction to find out if he s still employed. they have not gotten back to us. but as the chief said, the search for hannah continues. the last time he was seen he sped away in his car. there was that episode, they had the warrant because he was driving recklessly. is that the last time anyone has seen him? reporter: that s correct. the last time he was seen was speeding away in that 1997 blue nissan believed to have belonged to his sister nikki. we tried to find relatives today, including nikki, to find out where he was, but the last time he was seen was speeding away from authorities in that car. griff, thank you. and former d.c homicide detective is also in charlottesville. he and griff went to the home of jesse matthews grandmother. we just want to ask when you last saw him? i have nothing to say to you. get off my property. when was the last time you saw jesse? a girl is missing. reporter: have you talked to jesse? no one here has no comments. bye. and ted williams joins us live from charlottesville, that didn t work too well. reporter: no, it did not. but his grandmother is a victim of a grandson who s now, greta, been charged with a felony. a felony abduction with the intent to defile. the statkes in this case have nw been raised hugely. the ante is up. the grandmother had made some statements that she raised jesse matthew. so we wanted to talk to her. he s, as you know, on the run. and when you re on the run like that, greta, you re more likely to go to people who love you and care for you. and a grandmother, like i said, is someone we wanted to talk to. have you been to, has jesse lived by himself or have an apartment? where s he been living? reporter: well, greta, yes. we have been on numerous occasions to jesse matthew s apartment. they told me that he fellow. that he was wireird. while we ve heard that he was mr. nice guy, i ve got to tell you, there are people saying just the opposite about jesse matthew. maybe you can find jesse and he can talk to you. he s got a warrant out for him, though. and coming up, a member of the fox news team is on the terror watch list. really?

alberto wrote on facebook most americans believe in god. i can t believe how a small atheist minority can have more say than the rest of us believers. thanks to everyone who responded. fox & friends starts right now. bye. good morning. it is thursday, september 18. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. brand-new surveillance video of a missing college student shows that she was followed. but who is this mystery man and are the cops buying his story? the breaking details and search for hag hag. here for hannah graham. here s why the president is so sure there will be no boots on the ground. because he just changed the name to forward deployment. more semantics from a divided white house straight ahead. the nfl scandals keep on growing. you re not going to believe this. this morning two more stars get benched and the nfl admitting more mistakes on their part and then on the league s part. no mistake here. mornings are better with friends. time for fox &]3dí friends. welcome aboard, folks. thanks very much for joining us on this thursday morning. good morning, aberdeen. actually afternoon this. make sure you vote. the big vote over in scotland. we ve got stiewfort stewart varney to explain the ramifications. what it means for us, the nuclear subs and what it means for scotch. in the meantime serious business to tell you about, breaking developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video shows she was followed. quiem quiem is following this. anna kooiman is following this. anna, do we know who the guy in the surveillance video is? we don t know what his identity is. but he has come forward and spoken to police is what we re hearing and is signaling them to a new mystery man. this is what we learned. police are looking for that mystery man who was actually putting his arm around hannah graham in the moments before she disappeared according to man you see in the video. this video shows him walking through a mall in downtown charlottesville. he can be seen stepping into a door way as he walks by and follows her. he can be seen walking past a jewelry shop. seconds after that the same man can be seen slowly walking behind her. wednesday noit that man spoke to police saying he was walking with her because she seemed distressed. that s when he says another man approached hannah and put his harm around her. the first man told police she seemed to know the mystery man. he is only described as a black male. police are now looking for that second man. earlier today police released it would more surveillance videos of graham. one shows her walking past a bar apparently drunk. minutes later she can be seen running past a gas station and then slowing to a walk. police say they do not think graham was being followed at that point. they believe she walked at least a mile and a half from the party where she was on friday night. she was repor4pñ missing on sunday. today investigators are going door to door hoping to find more video that shows where she and the unidentified man went next. graham is the fourth young woman to go missing in the area in the past five years. a vigil will be held at hannah s hometown tonight. thank you very much, anna kooiman. troubling news. now that there are so many video cameras out there, it seems like we re getting more and more surveillance stuff where we can see things we didn t see before. anna s family and friends holding out hope for more information. if you have information, please call. the big story here, we were talking about the university of virginia student. now big news overseas which,z#y affects us here is what we re doing against isis. yesterday the president of the united states addressed the troops for a myriad of reasons. he wants to keep momentum and get financing for his battle plan to take on isis. number two, he felt he had to clarify what the secretary of defense said the day before about what he s been emphatic about, that this would be no troops on the ground. did he double down on that? did he make sure everyone was clear on that? in some respects. in some respects he also introduced another term. yesterday the president with the men behind him, he said and women behind him, you re not fighting a ground war in iraq. so the president yesterday said no, no boots on the ground. none of those boots on the ground. dempsey said he might ask the president for boots on the ground. biden said maybe. now the white house has decided maybe we should just mowf the goal post. move the goal post. rather than call them boots on the ground or combat troops now we ll refer to them as forward deployment. the american public says don t undermine our intelligence. we know what that means. why can t you say they are radical islamists, call war war and when you have boots on the ground, boots on the ground. you have the house voting to actually arm syrian rebels here to do what they need to do. obviously everyone understands you need feet on the ground. let s call it something.=d@v else. forward deployment? former secretary of defense robert gates who, by the way, airman himself. former air force, says they re great. they will do what they can do. but it s not going to be enough. why can t the president say that? they re not going to be able to be successful against isis strictly from the air. or strictly depending on iraqi forces or the peshmerga or sunni tribes acting on their own. so there will be boots on the ground if there is to be hope of success in the strategy. general odierno, the u.s. army chief of staff and helped through the surge with petraeus lead the surge said you ve got to have ground forces. it s got to be us. what also bothers me is general austin already asked for special forces to be in and direct airstrikes, some of the 176 on the ground already, and was rejected. already it is affecting our performance on the field. the advice of the president should be, given the time of peril we re in right now, just be honest with people. right now when they say no troops on the ground, people aren t believing that because we ve already got troops on the ground over there. meanwhile, is our commander in chief out of touch with the military? when you listen to former navy seal carl higbee, it is clear the men and women who wear the uniforms in challenge and they are up for it. is the president? don t know. for the most part, our troops will go over there. they want to fight this fight. they joined the fight a war, to combat the problem, to combat something that is threatening our homeland. these troops will go over there and fight with all their heart. we are the most lethal fighting force history has known. let us fight this battle. let s just think about this. they chop off the heads of two americans and more are lined up ready to go, and our response is we promise not to really get engaged. only hit you from above. it is a mixed mebl. message. iran says what kind of message is that too that we re scared to put boots on the ground, so they don t want to get involved. mark levin saw the backdrop of the president addressing the troops who signed up to fight and said this with sean yesterday. i want you to know that your sons and daughters are heroes. they did exactly the right thing. i want to apologize to you for this phony commander in chief who cut and run. and as a result, helped build up this enemy, this isis, isil, smisil, whatever the hell it is, these cockroaches we re having to deal with or should deal with once and for all. you know what? it just amazes me. do we want to win wars anymore? we know how we win them. we remember how we won doesn t call them wars. we call them kinetic military action. there is an op-ed today that says tell the american people the truth. they say quote this would make the islamic state less likely to doubt u.s. resolve while forcing liberals in congress to stand with mr. obama from the start and leave no openings for critics on the left or the right to claim they were not told the truth. i think the president is going to try to direct it itself. tell special forces you can t get involved or telling everyone he s got to sign off on any hit into syria. that is where two-thirds of isis operates. all their findings have pointed to that number as well. it is about ten minutes after the top of the hour on this very busy news day. heather childers joins us live. you start with a school closing. we have other news to talk about. schools are closed. an entire community on lockdown as we learn more about the crazed gunman who shot it would state troopers leaving one of them dead. police in pennsylvania say 31-year-old eric frein was part of a military reenactors group and he s acting out a fantasy pretending to be a soldier. in the event you re listening to this broadcast on a portable radio while cowering in a cool, damp hiding place, i want you to know one thing. eric, wore coming for you. byron k. dickson was killed in the attack. another trooper was critically hurt. the nfl scandal growing. two more stars benched. carolina panthers suspending greg hardy convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. hardy goes on trial in november but until now has never faced punishment with the nfl. then there is jonathan dwyer under arrest accused of beating his wife two separate times. in a few hours a new york man charged with aiding isis will face a judge in court. a naturalized u.s. citizen from yemen was trying to recruit americans to fight for isis and plotting to kill u.s. soldiers returning from the middle east. he faces up to 65 years in prison. his uncle, by the way, behind bars now for funneling millions of dollars to a terror network. a three-year-old boy upstaging his military mom as she returns home from afghanistan.

(announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. that s why we ve built powerful technology to alert you to your next opportunity. because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. we ve got a fox news alert for you. a live look in scotland where voters there are heading to the polls today to decide whether to split from the united kingdom. that decision, the fate of a nation and perhaps an entire part of the world could hinge on 35,000 voters on 350,000 voters who /:anv far undecided. if the scots say see you later to the united kingdom, how would american foreign policy change? here is stuart varney, who would like to see them stay. i would. if they vote yes for independence separate from the rest of britain, if they do that, america faces real challenge. america will face a broken britain because this is the break-up of great britain. it would face a disunited, unstable europe. there are all kinds of independence movements which will be very much strengthened if the scots vote for independence. and america faces a diminished nato. britain has nukes. those nukes are launched in scotland. if they vote for independence those nukes have to be moved. where to? we don t know. you re referring to submarines 20 miles from glasgow? yes. in terms of money, who benefits here? in the short run i think a vote for independence by scotland could push money over here because an unstable europe, a europe in recession and a broken britain, the heart money gets nervous and comes to the most stable part of the world and that would be the united states. this is the 31st country to break away from england since world war ii so what is the big deal? we ve seen the imperialistic power shrink. this leaves them wales and northern ireland. they would also hold on to the pound; right? scotland would have to come up with their own currency is i. scotland doesn t know what they re going to do about currency. they are undecided. they would like, i think, to stay with the british pound. but they might not let them. they won t have the bank of england to back up scotland. a good question is who gets the oil. that is not entirely decided. potentially scotland is taking a huge financial battle. they think they can finance a welfare state on the back of petro dollar earnings. that is a shaky decision in my opinion. stuart, while you were speaking i was looking at twitter and a fellow by the name of rupert murdoch has tweeted out this. he writes scotland now voting. nobody can be sure of outcome, but yes, organization, people who say yes, likely to make it very close. either way, u.k. changes forever. that s interesting. u.k. changes forever, whichever way the vote goes. you know why? a lot of centers are built in for them to stay. if they stay, wales and northern ireland are going to say what about giving me incentives to stay or i m going to leave. we don t have exit polls so we don t know which way the vote is going but it is going to be close and there s a lot hanging on this. it is a very liberal country. it is very left. it wants to go further left, wants to spend more government money, wants more welfare. very shaky propositions. isn t it like being engaged, calling it off and keeping the ring? you have a prediction? i think the no vote will win by just a very narrow margin. that s what i hope. i predict pain. we ll see the outcome this afternoon. what the scottish are doing. check out stuart varney s program 11 a.m. eastern time on fox business. coming up, joe biden does it again. i stopped in singapore to meet with a guy named lee kwan yu who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the most wisest man in the orient. it does go downhill from there. so many of you tweeted yesterday to write about this story, about the american flag confiscated on september 11. we tracked down one of the moms so disgusted by what has happened in the school she is fighting back. and she is here next. (vo) get ready! fancy feast broths. they re irresistabowl. completely unbelievabowl. totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she s been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies, and never any by-products or fillers. wow! being a cat just got more enjoyabowl. fancy feast broths. wow served daily. searching with devotion for a snack that isn t lame but this. takes my breath away 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. it s a non-nicotine 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 protaking chantix.ult wore don t take chantix if you ve 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 threatening. 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 non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. 23 minutes past the top of the hour. quick headlines for you. members of the mainstream media admitting they are lazy and biased. david gregory was booted from meet the press but this morning he s getting the last word saying this about journalism in washington. things that fight the nar narrative get harder to report out because of laziness in the media. david gregory said he is biased about reporting about the white house on networks. he said i m going to express my views but it would be disingenuous to pretend i wasn t loyal to the president. david was man schultz reports of an internal struggle between her and the white house after a series of public flubs including comparing scott walker to wife beaters. steve got a story you all loved. thank you very much, elisabeth. zero tolerance policy forces a south carolina forces south carolina students to remove american flags from their trucks on 9/11. this outraged our next guest, a local who posted this message on facebook: this is a call out to every person who lives in woodruff, south carolina. if you have a child who attends woodruff high school send them to school monday morning with an american flag on their car. also citizens of woodruff, show up carrying your own american flag. and she did show up. and hermw. name is lora. welcome. she posted this. good morning to you. told this story yesterday and we were so incensed because on 9/11 the principal went out on four vehicles in the parking lot of a high school. they confiscated the flags because they got a rule where you re not supposed to bring attention to yourself. why did this upset you? it upsets me because our american flag is our symbol. it s different than any other flag that s out there. it s above the flags. if i were to go across the seas and try to sail the american flag above a european flag, whoever, they wouldn t allow that. so we can t equate that with their flags flying here with us. it was taking those children s rights away, and i felt like they needed a voice. and so i made the post, a local station got it, and now you guys have it. and yesterday our superintendent made a formal public apology to the community and to anybody else in the nation that they had offended. he said we dropped the ball. we made a mistake. we are going to revise the handbook and change the policy. the united states flag does not bring attention undue attention to one s vehicle or one s self and they should be allowed to fly it. were you able to get some parents whose kids go to that school to stand with you and drive with you with the flag? there were approximately 12 people, i m told, that were there on the sidewalk. and honestly, i only knew one lady that was there. that was my next-door neighbor and she does have a student in the school. the other people, i have no clue who they were or if they have children that attend the school now or in the past.r9 the students were coming to school. we were informed that it was spirit week. it s homecoming week in south carolina and we still do spirit week. and they the principal and superintendent told us that america that monday had already been deemed america day, which that s okay. that s fine. but i think we had a bigger support, a bigger turnout from the student body because of the actions that were taken on 9/11. exactly. and that s the important part. the principal went out into the parking lot and took the flags off of the vehicles on september 11. if there is a day where people here in new york city, it was flags aplenty, flags all over the place. flags everywhere. absolutely. so it makes sense to show up they re patriotic kids at that high school, for them to show up with a big flag in the bed of their truck. for the school to do it it s great that they have apologized but it seems like they were completely tone-deaf to what goes on in this country on september 11. i don t know the principal. my children have been gone for quite awhile, but i m told that he is a patriotic man and he was trying to follow policy. you will think on that day they would make an exception to the policy. it s great that they apologized. and that is what the superintendent said. they dropped the ball, and they re sorry that they did so. it will never happen again were his words. i m very pleased. you and many of the people watching now. lora slocum, thank you very much. thanks for stangdz up standing up for the flag in south carolina. good to know they apologized, realized they made a mistake. 28 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, a new jersey boy allegedly murdered by a jihadist here in the united states. this morning that teenager s parents are speaking out for the first time. as a father and, you know, what she was going through, i just i wasn t there, so. man, more from their exclusive interview with fox coming up next. plus they were deported but now we could be paying for hundreds of thousands of illegals to come back. great. you re going to want to hear that story. first happy birthday to frankie avalon. the singer, 74. crest 3d white whitestrips vs. whitening trays. these trays feel a little loose. it s kind of hard to talk. the whitestrips really grip. look at that. crest supreme flexfit whitestrips grip to your teeth, and whiten as well as a $500 professional treatment. crest whitestrips. the way to whiten. where you can explore super destinations and do everything under the sun. 12 brands. more hotels than anyone else in the world. save up to 25% and earn bonus points when you book at wyndhamrewards.com. and u ll see just how much it has to offer, especially if you re thinking of moving an old 401(k) to a fidelity ira. it gives you a widrange of investment options. and the free help you need to make sure your investments fit your goals and what you re really investing for. tap into the full power of your fidelity green line. call today and we ll make it easy to move that old 401(k) to a fidelity rollover ira. sweenjoy it all.ry! cause red lobster s one and only endless shrimp is now! endless choices! endless variety! kick it up with our spicy new wood-grilled sriracha shrimp and it s back: parmesan crusted shrimp scampi! the year s largest variety of shrimp flavors! so many to explore! as much as you like, any way you like! endless shrimp is here! but not for long. so hurry in and sea food differently. i am so noh my gosh.now, it s not even funny. driver 1 you ready?

maybe i was abused, maybe i was forced to sign pieces of paper. advertise the settlement in mexico. all at the taxpayers expense. vice president joe biden does it again. on the way back from mumbai to meet with president xi in china, i stopped in singapore to meet with a guy named lee kuan yew who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the wisest man in the orient. that gaffe coming right after the vice president had another foot in the mouth moment. people would come to him and talk about what was happening at home in terms of foreclosures, in terms of bad loans that were being i mean these shylocks who took advantage of these women and men while overseas. shyhock refers to the jewish money lender in shakespeare. biden said it was a poor choice of words. you think?

brian bringing in hall of famer jerry rice. hello, jerry. shopping online is as easy as it gets. wouldn t it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie s list, now it is. start shopping online from a list of top-rated providers. visit angieslist.com today. if your alarm clock just went off, you need headlines, we ve got them from around the globe. iranian president taking a jab at president obama while vowing to give iraq support in fighting isis, he used the president s own words against his red line. the president, our president, against syria. when he says the red line, it means the red line which means woal we will not allow [inaudible] a british woman thrown in prison for two months after trying to watch a volleyball game in iran. the 25-year-old was arrested for trying to watch the iranian national team play. only men are allowed to watch apparently in that country. brand-new this morning, two more nfl players benched. overnight cardinals running back jonathan dwyer arrested on aggravated asalt charges involving his wife. carolina panthers suspending greg hardy convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. they won t wait for fleel. is this just the beginning? let s ask hall of famer and maybe one of the greatest players ever to play the game jerry rice. welcome back. first things first, everyone is talking about this. your reaction to the domestic abuse charges on this five-year player jonathan dwyer. i have a nontolerance towards domestic violence and also child abuse. i think these guys got to realize they re role models and they can t be doing things like what they re doing today. the whole thing is due process. while the courts are finding out who is guilty and who is not, who is only accused and who is not, should the league be suspending these players? should greg hardy after being convicted be told i don t care about your appeal, you re done. i think the right thing now is take them off the field because it s not about football until the situation is resolved. once it s resolved, then they can move on. do you think the league dropped the ball on this by not having hard core reactions to this and not doing it on a case by case basis? i think the league, with roger goodell and he s been known to be that type of person to really put the hammer down. and i feel like they, they have dropped it a little bit. and it s very important to let people know that we re just not going to tolerate that. and the players, they need to recognize that, hey, look, if i do something like that, i m going to get suspended or i could be banned from the league. real quick, adrian peterson suspended with pay. $900,000 a week. for child abuse. a lot of people say that s the way i was brought up. charles barkley, that s the way i was brought up. you were brought up in the south. i was brought up in the south and i got whippings. that s what they did back in the day. but i think my parents molded me into the guy that i am today. there is a disconnect because being disciplinednúy and being abused, because i feel if you leave physical marks now, that s abuse. with your kids, you don t. no, but my kids know, i can look at them a certain way, if i tap them on their leg they know they better straighten up. great. let s talk about the league s new drug policy that allows some players on the field right away and others have to have blood testing for the first time. what do you think the ramifications are going to be? see a lot less 300 pounders? i hope so. i feel some of the players have an extra edge. that was something i never did. i just did it the right way, with the sweat and the tears and going out, being the best football player i could possibly be. do you think there is an h.g.h. problem in the league? if anything, like you said, the testing is going to be able to eliminate those guys from getting so big and so huge and so fast. right. that could also play a role in the injuries. guys being that fast, that big, that strong, going at that velocity hitting other guys, that leads to head injury. anything knows anything about you, whether a football fan or not knows you re about excellence, about conditioning and if anything overtraining and you still look in great shape today. how does that play into your message? i have partnered with lysol. i m the first healthy habits coach. i can teach kids the importance of healthy habits and set them up in school where they can be successful. through out my career i practice nutrition, eating fruit, veggies, all that. stopping the sugary drinks. that helped mean play 20 years over 300 games and 189 games consecutive. just eating right. we need kids to get out and be more active. september 22 is healthy habits week. you can go to lysol.com healthy habits for all of the information. today you re going to be in queens? yes. i m going out and talk to the kids and let them know it s very important that they take care of themselves. washing their hands when they go to the bathroom and do all those things because the less sick days they have, they re in class and continuing to learn. jerry rice, great player, great role model and a very good dancer. thank you for that one. you could dance us out but unfortunately we re up against a break. that s that rhythm, baby. that s that rhythm right there. thanks a lot, jerry. appreciate it. i like the pocket square too. straight ahead, we have three big stories getting big traction. a state trooper booted from a waffle house because he was armed. a mother in trouble for letting her son play outside. that used to be normal. a kid who says he was bullied for not saying the pledge. i thought that was mandatory. what got you the most fired up? weigh in. want to buy a gun? you ll have them your race and why you want it. judge napolitano is here. he s outraged. he was going to sleep in today, but he heard about this story, he was scrambled to the studio. hello! three grams daily of beta-glucan. a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. thank you! co: until you re sure you do.you need a hotel room bartender: thanks, captain obvious. co: which is why i put the hotels.com mobile app on my mobile phone. hotels.com i don t need it right now. with the top speedou compare of comcast the top speed of business dsl from the internet. phone company well, there s really no comparison. why pay more for less?

that s what gun advocates claim inform the government of their race and ethnicity. is this government sanctions racial profiling and does it ultimately put people s privacy at risk? we re going to ask judge andrew napolitano that very question this morning. good morning. good morning. to start with the big picture, the right to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to defend yourself. that s not me. that s what the supreme court said twice in two different opinions in the past ten years. i forcefully and proceed foundly agree with that, basic constitutional law. so why do you need to fill out a form, the government s form, in order to protect yourself? the government s decided it wants to know who has guns. none of the government s business who has guns. it s none of the government s business the race or ethickity of the people who want to buy guns, and certainly none of the government s business to ask you why you want the gun. you want the gun? it s none of the government s business. we don t need the government s business to express our first amendment freedom, why do we need their permission to express our second amendment rights? so there is a privacy issue. but what if you don t answer the question? isn t that denying you the right theoretically the seller of the weapon has become the agent of the government by saying, look, i can t sell you this gun. i want to sell you the gun. i want to make the profit from the sale and i want you to be able to have the product you want to buy. but the government is telling me i can t sell it until you fill out the form. whether they overlook the fact that you refuse to tell the government your race, ethnicity and sell you the gun, then they re going to get in trouble. this is called forced speech. first amendment says congress can t inc. fringe speech. the courts have interpreted that to mean congress can t lot compel you to speak. so the government can t say, hey, what s your race? what s your ethnicity and why do you want that gun? the government doesn t have the lawful, moral authority to do that. but yet that s what it s trying to do with these forms. there is a blurred line there. it is. because the states regulate guns, but the feds are telling them how it do it. sounds like a big violation to most. gun advocates thinking the same. thank you. pleasure. coming up, a pop quiz. can you tell which one of these can you tell which one of these brownies is laced with5aa at od, whatever business you re in, that s the business we re in. with premium service like one of the best on-time delivery records and a low claims ratio, we do whatever it takes to make your business our business. od. helping the world keep promises. right here. with a control pad that can read your handwriting, a wide-screen multimedia center, and a head-up display for enhanced driver focus. all inside a newly redesigned cabin of unrivaled style and comfort. the all-new c-class. at the very touch point of performance and innovation. good morning. today is thursday, september 18. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brand-new surveillance video of a missing college student showing that she was followed. details on the man seen here on this tape and whether cops are buying his story ahead. wow. new this morning, more scandals unfolding in the nfl. two more players pulled off the field for alleged abuse. one of them under arrest. and three stories gaining serious traction right now at fox news.com. a state trooper booted from waffle house because he was carrying his gun. a mother in trouble for letting her son play outside the house across the street when she was watching him through the window. a kid who says he was bullied because he would not stand up and say the pledge of allegiance. we want to know which story has you the most fired up. that s right. it s another episode of you choose the news on this fox & friends live from new york city. this is jerry rice, 13-time pro bowler, three-time super bowl champ. don t drop the ball on fox & friends. that s the pressure on you at home. whatever you have, don t drop it. you heard him. we have a fox news alert. a live look right now in scotland. why? polls are open for the scottish independence vote. amy kellogg live in scotland for all the drama. it s a big day. what s the mood there? where do you think the public is leaning? reporter: brian, it s on a knife s edge. there is a trickle of people coming from the polling station behind me. but they are expecting here in scotland that this will be the biggest electoral vote in their history because they are voting on the future of scotland. it could be an independent country. they re expecting a turnout of 80 to 90%. no figures on that yet. eligibls about 4.2 or 3 million have registered. they ve opened up the voting to people as young as 16 years of age, which has been somewhat controversial. but a lot of these young people seem to have a very good grasp of the issues. i just think we need the support from england that we get. we ll be so vulnerable to attacks. we ve got no defense without england. i just think they do so much for us economically as well. reporter: those are two of the issues, defense and economy. britain s nuclear deterrent is based in scotland and they said if scotland becomes independent, the subs will be kicked out. also the economy, of course. we don t know where that will go if scotland becomes independent. they won t be able to keep the pound, they don t have a plan b. nay sayers say they will flourish if they re independent. all right. amy kellogg, where it is three minutes after noon in scotland right now. i got a feeling the polls will pick up a little later on when people are getting off work and out of school. i love hearing the perspective of a young person there concerned about security and economics moving forward. i think that s quite interesting, though some may say too young to participate. can you imagine having an election and 90% of the people showing up? that is unbelievable. that is great. you can t say that doesn t really involve me. meanwhile, heather, are you scottish? i am not. dutch irish. so you re not voting today? i m not. but we do have breaking news to tell you about. fox news alert. breaking developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video shows she was followed. hannah graham can be seen walking through a mall in charlottesville in front of her, stops and follows her. two minutes later, graham walks past a jewelry shop. a few seconds later, the same man can be seen walking behind her again. last night that man told police that he was walking with her because she seemed distressed. he says another man approached her and put his arm around graham. graham, by the way, the fourth young woman to go missing in the same area in the past five years. also breaking overnight, a terror plot foiled isis, calling for the kidnapping and innocent of innocent people in a major city. 15 suspected terrorists were arrested in australia s largest ever counterterrorism operation. the country now raising its terror threat to the second highest level. schools are closed, entire community on lockdown as we learn more about the crazed gunman who shot two state troopers leaving one of them dead. police in pennsylvania say that 31-year-old eric freen was part of a military reenactment group and that he s actually acting out a disturbing military fantasy pretending to be a soldier. in the event you re listening to this broadcast on a radio or portable radio while cowering in some cold, damp hiding place, i want you to know one thing, eric, we are coming for you. corporal brian dixon was killed in the attack. his funeral this morning. trooper douglas critically hurt, but alive. and now this, he learned the hard way you do not mess with a woman who is nine months pregnant. she chased him down after he swiped her purse outside a grocery store and knocked her to the ground. the woman s family grabbed him and held him down until police got there and here is the best part. just hours later, she gave birth to a healthy baby. so good for her. glad they had a happy ending. thank you very much. this headline i thought was taken from monday s show or last wednesday s show or last friday s show, it s thursday and we have more bad news for the nfl. it happened again. it s bad behavior. you might not know jonathan dwyer, but he s been in the league for five years. started with the cardinals. he s involved with his second domestic abuse accusation and it might involve child abuse as he went after his wife and also their text message revealed he threatened her if she in fact called the cops. one aggravated assault, including a minor of an 18-monthsan hold, and preventing use of phone in an emergency. he s out. he s not the only one out. greg hardy yesterday, he was convicted in july of assaulting and threatening to kill his girlfriend. the trial is scheduled for november 17. yesterday the carolina panthers said, you know what? why don t we just bench him? but still paying. $13 million base salary he still gets. $770,000 a week he will make during the season. so if he s still getting paid, it s a lot of money while you wait in the money for a verdict. in hardy s case, he s convicted already. this is an appeal. the audiotapes show basically it s almost like the transcript from the o. j. simpson situation and this woman was fearing from her life. this is from a neighbor. here is a question from the nfl, in hardy s case there was due process, there was a conviction. but without due process in dwyer s case, what does the league do? if you re convicted of this, you re off? but while you re actually going through the process, play. really? should you do that? especially when the circumstances, for example, of adrian peterson where his four-year-old had pictures? in hardy s situation where there were audiotapes. in dwyer s situation, i think that is the biggest story. where is the real deterrent when you take the money away and prevent anyone from getting close to the line of abuse at all. jerry rice, what did he have to say? listen to what he said about that. he said the one thing players care about is playing. i think the right thing right now is to take them off the field because it s not about football. and until the situation is resolved, it s very important to let people know that we re just not going to tolerate that. the players need to recognize that hey, look. if i do something like that, i m going to get suspended or i could be banned from the league. eli manning weighing in this morning. he was asked about it. he went into extensive detail saying enough. they got to go. it s not just outsiders. it s insiders. two more players not playing this weekend. meanwhile, mixed messages in washington, d.c president obama still insisting no troops on the ground in the his joint chiefs of staff seems to be on a different page. this as the house has just approved a plan to amount syrian rebels. peter doocy with the latest. reporter: on capitol hill, speaker boehner and minority leader pelosi united behind a measure to arm and train syrian rebels which easily passed the house with bipartisan support. had bipartisan opposition, with 85 democrats and 71 republicans voting no. this came shortly after president obama promised once again no combat troops in iraq while he s in charge. as your commander in chief, i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. after a decade of massive ground deployments, it is more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners on the ground so they can secure their own countries futures. reporter: isis fights might have a hard time believing the u.s. is not fighting in combat roles. u.s. advising iraqi and on air strikes. if they don t work, then the vice president is open to sending in ground forces. agree with general dempsey about using ground troops? reporter: another denial that ground troops in iraq are not are a possibility is coming from secretary of state john kerry who told the senate committee yesterday, americans will only go to iraq in support roles. that s it. back to you. that s it. peter, thank you. time for you choose the news. which of these stories has got you riled up. first of all, let s take you down to grapevine, texas. the waffle house there. there was a texas state trooper, a chopper pilot. he showed up to the place in his field uniform, which is a polo shirt, tan slacks, a badge and a gun. the manager came out and yelled at him, you got to get out of here. he said i m a state trooper in uniform. he said get out and don t ever come back! he s upset because of the way that he was singled out and embarrassed in front of them. since then, waffle house has said we are really sorry. but none the less, the trooper is amazed that he would be kicked out. right. north dakota, a school accused of bullying a child who had to stand outside of class because he didn t want to stand up and say the pledge of allegiance. the dad and an atheist group are saying you bullied our kid. you didn t want to stand during the pledge. the superintendent who is a military veteran said the child is actually told to stand up to say the pledge. when he didn t in order to avoid other students from becoming distracted and wanting to sit as well, they placed him outside and say stand outside the class, but you re not going to refuse to stand and distract everybody else. sounds more like distraction than anything else. now let s go out to austin, texas, where a kerry ann roy is outraged. she s a writer and mom of three and she s upset that a neighbor, a nosey neighbor called the cops because she let a six-year-old, her six-year-old play outside with her eight-year-old, who by the way she was watching from across the street. the neighbor called the cops. as if she was being an irresponsible mother. she said she was about 100 yards away. she could watch him the whole time. that s what kids do. she is pushing back. they actually brought the kid over to the house and child services showed up and asked all three questions a couple days later and asked them very detailed questions which they were quite uncomfortable with. about alcohol and drugs and porn and all sorts of weird stuff. so we d love to have you weigh in on this. go to our facebook page and take the quiz, which of those three stories are you most interested in hearing more about. facebook.com/foxandfriends. here is what s coming up, soon border patrol agents could be forced to wear body cameras. but not for their own protection. the move to give illegals an advantage. yep. we ll explain coming up. and the president and his top generals can t seem to agree on battling isis, sending mixed messages about boots on the ground. up next, a man who has been calling for boots on the ground from the beginning, carl oliver north reporting for duty. his boots are always on the ground. when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i m sold! a selling machine! ready for you alert, only at lq.com. before using her new bank of america credit card, which rewards her for responsibly managing her card balance. before receiving $25 toward her balance each quarter for making more than her minimum payment on time each month. tracy got the bankamericard better balance rewards credit card, which fits nicely with everything else in life she has to balance. that s the benefit of responsibility. apply online or visit a bank of america near you. the president has struggled to deliver a consistent message on how we re going to defeat isis. he s got one position that could not be more clear. this is not and will not be america s fight alone. the american forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. they will support iraqi forces on the ground. as your commander in chief, i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. some of the president s top generals, pictured here, and his former secretary of defense disagree. why the disconnect? joining us now is fox news military analyst, lieutenant colonel oliver north. isn t the president, by saying what we won t do, boxing himself in to a corner? no commander on the battlefield or commander in chief should ever tell the enemy what they will or won t do. right from the get go in this thing he has been saying words like you just put on the air. here is the worst problem, nobody really knows what he really wants to do because just hours after he said that down at the air force base in florida, josh earnest on air force one coming back to washington says, well, there are certain conditions where he may want to consider putting u.s. troops close in with iraqis in iraq. forward deployment? that s the new word, forward deployment. what does that mean? forward deployment for those of us who used to do that meant you were going to go from the united states to some forward deployed location where you might be engaged with the enemy. the bottom line of this is if he s going to do that and put them in close contact, he has to have an authorization from the congress of the united states. it s called use of force. and he has to get the congress to nod their heads and say yes, we ll support that. every president has done that. this president has been so confused, i ve now dubbed this operation enduring freedom. we have operation enduring confusion. it s confusing the troops. here is the bottom line, without putting forward controllers from the air force and other services on the ground with the iraqi battalion who are in combat, you will not have success using air power. arab air power is an oxymoron. they can t do it. furthermore, if you leave syria as a safe said he wouldn t do, you ve got to put somebody over there to help those fight. they promised they re going to train 5,000 so-called moderate syrians. they re going to export them, fly them to saudi arabia, u.s. special forces will train them. for about a year. 12 months. then bring them back. think of this, isil, isis, whatever it s calling itself this week, has grown in three weeks, from 15,000 to over 30,000. in a year, how are these guys, 5,000 of them, going to come back and go into syria, now they re going to ballot, 35, 30,000 isis and assad? we have to have ground forces, out of everybody you mention, where are the ground forces? peshmerga? is jordan going to be the answer? the 5,000 the answer? no. the problem is, he s got more faith in air power than billy mitchell. thanks a lot, colonel. friday night special on introducing chico s leggings. every style s a showstopper! with fabrics that flatter and prints to go wild for. legs look longer, you look leaner. any way you wear them. chico s leggings. we re famous for our legs. at chico s and chicos.com. ccaaaaaaaaaaaa!

neil cavuto has been covering the breaking details and he joins us now. good morning. good morning. it is very close. it s too close to call. but just judging from the markets and what they re doing, they don t expect scotland will break away. they don t expect the foot print to change a little bit in western europe. it s foot print that s been constant since the end of world war ii. that portion west of germany has not really changed. we know east of germany and the old iron curtain and the old soviet republic, there has been a lot of changes going on there. as you know, a few weeks ago, if you were to talk about volatility in europe, you would have been referring to what s going on in ukraine and all the nastiness there. now the concern is that out of nowhere, scotland just up and votes. they don t think that s going to happen. but obviously the markets are just sort of waiting to see how this folds out. one was saying if it s a close vote, it keeps out there that this notion of cesession. let s listen to the boss. the danger is that if they win and the column here revolts against their leaders who made these concessions and they go 4#n zu1c%u÷cj i am and it s been bothering people. that s no more scott than you are. i m trying. i think it s pretty good. watch fox business all day long if you would like coverage. that s what they re doing. thank you very much. coming up, the parents of a teen-ager allegedly murdered by jihaddist here in america speak exclusively with fox. does it make a difference? i mean, i know that to everyone else this is a domestic terrorism. does it make a difference? does it have any impact on either one of you in any way or not? their response to greta s question ahead. then. some parents are crying foul this morning about what s coming out of barbie s mouth. what did she say? she loves ken? that would be good. what she says later is a problem. walgreens knows that heartburn sufferers can sometimes find themselves at the corner of mmm, home cooking and umm, i think that s enough. that s why walgreens offers new nexium 24 hour, protection strong enough for whatever your day dishes out. walgreens makes it easy to treat frequent heartburn. with new nexium 24 hour, now get nexium level protection without a prescription. at the corner of happy and healthy. today we want to wish a big happy birthday to the united states air force. these brave men and women protecting america s skies for 67 years. we are joined by many of them here right now, including colonel bruce and amanda martino. congratulations. happy birthday and thank you for all that you do. thank you. what does the birthday mean to you, bruce? well, it s a time to look back at our heritage, our history, 67 years of air power and our heros and not only heros past, but heros of today. we have one standing right here with us. tell us a little about senior airman amanda martino. she s with the security forces in new york. she deployed last year to afghanistan and sustained two injuries in combat and awarded two purple hearts in combat action medal. she s also getting her mast s degree as well. what does this day mean to you? it means a great celebration for everything we ve been fighting for for years to come and everything that represents the nation in general. that s very nice. of course, as is the case on anniversaries like this, it falls to you, colonel, speak softly and carry a big sword. it s time to cut the cake. do you want to do that? we will. we overprepared. here we go. you ready? let her rip. as is the tradition, the senior and the junior personnel get to share the cake, right? fair enough. you created a new tradition. this is one time you don t want to lick the knife. we ll do that later. thank you for sharing this with us. it s a very great day. will you make sure they all get a piece? they got up early. that s right. you want a piece. i do. thanks so much for your service. everyone is talking about the air force. we just bombed, no big deal. it s big deal. and we know you put your lives on the line. happy birthday. thank you. meanwhile, now to a fox news alert. a new york man charged with aiding the brutal terror group isis due no court later today. that s him right there. and rick leventhal live outside the federal courthouse in rochester, new york. good morning to you, rick. what can you tell us? reporter: good morning. he s expected here in the federal court later this morning. one of the first if not the first american to be accused of recruiting for isis. he s scheduled to be arraigned before a u.s. magistrate judge at 11 a.m his public defender says he will plead not guilty. he was busted by the buffalo division of the f.b.i. s joint terrorism task force which began tracking him about a year ago. the feds say the convenience store manager was using social media, including twitter and facebook to voice support for terror groups, including al-qaeda and isis and tried to raise funds to help buy weapons for jihaddists. he also, according to the feds, tried to recruit at least two men to travel to syria and fight for isis, but both men were confidential informants for the f.b.i he was busted in may when feds say he met one of the confidential informants in a wal-mart parking lot to buy a hand gun, silencer and ammunition intending to kill american troops who served in iraq. feds say he wanted to kill shia muslims here in the rochester area. he faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious charges. his uncle, by the way, is suspected of trying to support terrorism and is doing time now for funneling millions of dollars to yemen. guys? all right. rick leventhal live with the latest out of rochester, new york, thank you. heather childers is here. a fox news exclusive for you. for the first time, we are hearing from the parents of brandon, murdered by a suspected jihaddist. he reportedly told police that he murdered the 19-year-old as pay back for u.s. military involvement in the middle east. in our opinion, they don t think he acted alone. he was looking to kill somebody. he changed his clothes. he was there to do what he did and what he accomplished. why was it brandon? if it was not him, it would be somebody else. brandon was a member of the national honor society, yauchistic minister. border patrol agents will under surveillance. the agency bought body cameras for agents to use on but it s not for their safety. no, the move is coming after accusations that agents used too much force. they will start testing the new cameras next month. and now this. barbie is a role model. but does the newest doll have a foul mouth? well, parents say that barbie is swearing. but mattel insists the doll is actually saying off the hook. yes. the company say several customers have complained and you can imagine why. they should offer a refund for any unsatisfied customers that might be parents who tonight like to have the blurry lines. all right. thank you. 21 minutes before the top of the hour. clean-up in mexico following cat 3 hurricane odile in coo boase. the storm knocked down a main bridge. the storm moving into the southwestern part of the united states. millions of people prepare for what could be historic flooding like you see there in arizona. maria molina joins us right now. they ve needed water down there. but right now they got too much in one spot. that s right. too much rain too quickly. we re talking between one and two inches of rainfall expected in some areas within just an hour. so those are very significant rainfall rates. i want to show you on the map how much rain we ve already picked up across parts of arizona, new mexico and western texas. many areas have seen two, three, locally more than four inches of rain. that storm system is still on the move. from southeastern parts of arizona through new mexico and western texas, still expecting locally up to four more inches of rain. those flash flood watches are still in effect out there. that storm system odile made landfall in cabo as category 3 hurricane and take a look at this. we have another hurricane right on the heels of that one. hurricane polo. we re going to have to watch this one closely coming up this weekend. it s forecast to move very close to cabo yet again. so we could be seeing impacts out there. otherwise here in the northeast, beautiful weather. we re looking at some sunshine and temperatures that feel very much like fall. coming up tomorrow morning, you ll be looking at some freeze warnings in effect across portions of new england and frost advisories, temperatures up there are going to be very cold. right now you re in the 50s and 40s widespread across parts of the northeast and there is a look at your high temperatures. let s head back inside. thank you. my furnace went on last night. it was cold. i m in between. i don t know what to put on, the heat or air conditioning. let the furnace decide. okay. i m going to put the coals in there, shovel some in and see what happens. coming up straight ahead, there was a common theme in yesterday s benghazi hearing. i do not know the answer to that. i do not know the answer to that, sir. i cannot answer that question for you. wow. it will be a long three months. the guys on the ground in benghazi have an answer. they are next. and a pop quiz for you. can you tell which of these candies is laced with pot? the answer could save your child s life. stick around. we ll be right back. ejl. the select committee charged with investigating the state department s botched response to the 2012 terrorist attacks in benghazi ended yesterday s hearing with more questions than answers. do you know if they had the opportunity to interview the c.i.a. contractors on the ground that night who might know something about the security, as well as the other facilities in benghazi that evening? i do not know the answer to that, sir. do you know if they have had the opportunity to interview the dia people who might have known something about the intelligence and the security situation on the ground that night? i m sorry, sir. i do not know the answer to that. wow. he does not know the answer or he says he doesn t. my next guests do. chris, known as tanto, and mark, known as. , former benghazi security contractors at the compound the night of the attack. they ve written about this in their new book called 13 hours. a lot of that tells things we ve never seen or known before because you guys were there. first off, does it bother you welcome back. does it bother you, a lot of the i don t know? of course it does. we want answers. sometimes it feels like that s a copout answer. i think they know what s going on. maybe they re not being able to put it into words that satisfies whatever agenda they re trying to pursue, but yeah. they re the state department, they should know about what s going on, what took place there and what took place before and how to move forward. they also had two years to find out. exactly. and they have our book. read it. that will give you some answers right there. absolutely. i agree. they need to talk to the people on the ground cause that s where the rubber meets the road. in terms of security, what should have been done and what was actually done, that was brought up yesterday. here is todd keel talking about the standards at benghazi at the time. were the standards followed at the benghazi facility? sir, we saw a memo which authorized the continual opening of the benghazi mission which referred to it as the special mission compound. in talking with people and based on my experience, it was a purposeful effort to skirt the standards. so the standards were followed? no. so they were not followed: did you guys know that a lot of this stuff is cutting corners, inadequate? you could sense some you could see it, yeah. you could definitely see it. mark said on several occasions when asked what does the security look like at the compound, he said well, what s security? it looked nice. but was there security? no. there wasn t security there. you have eight to ten acres protected by five u.s. diplomatic security agents at the most. sometimes there is as few as two there. the only security they depended on were four to five militia members hired and four to five libyan blue mountain that were unarmed. and useless. right. and that s security. obviously that s a great term for it because when the attack happened, they left. they were gone. they weren t there on the compound when it happened that night. so can we say they were useless now because we know for a fact they were because they left. admiral mullen, they were supposed to do the investigation. you guys were on the ground, you weren t questioned. that s what it was about. the accountability review board, their conclusions, did they get everything they wanted? did they question the people they should? were they truly independent? what s your overall impression of the irb report? ambassador pickering said it was fiercely independent. in that same hearing, admiral mullen admitted to oversight and government reform that he was reporting on arb proceedings to the senior staff of the state department outside of the precepts and requirements of being a member of the arb, i don t think that fits anyone s definition of being fiercely independent. you agree with what todd just said? yeah. i agree with that. you can t be playing both sides of the information flow and call yourself independent. the report itself, they didn t interview us. they didn t interview as far as i know, they didn t interview the state department people on the ground or eric nordstrom. so i don t know how that report can be actually conclusive when you re not talking to the people that were there that night. were you willing? oh, yeah. we ll talk to whoever wants to talk to us. the book is 13 hours. what you seen yesterday will run for three months. chris and mark, thanks so much. thank you for having us. elisabeth, tell me what s coming up next. it s all up to you. and me. the pop quiz coming up for you. can you tell which of these brownies, or this one, may be laced with pot? the answer could save your child s life. you don t want to miss it. dr. siegle is next. first on this day in history back in 1999, tlc had the number one song in america, i m pretty. [guy] i know what you re thinking- you re thinking beneful. [announcer]beneful has wholesome grains,real beef,even accents of spinach,carrots and peas.

[ woman ] take the next step. talk to your doctor and visit humira.com. this is humira at work. good morning. today is thursday, september 18. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brand-new surveillance video of a missing college student shows that she was followed and the man on this tape right here has come forward. what he is telling the cops. and here is why the president is so sure there will be no boots on the ground, because he changed boots on the ground to forward deployment. more semantics from a divided white house straight ahead. and we ve been asking you which story has you the most fired up. a state trooper booted from a waffle house for being armed. a mother in trouble for letting her son play outside, or a kid who says he was belayed for not saying the pledge, or was it a behavior issue? your choice is revealed after i say morning with friends and the animation comes up. hi, you re watching fox & friends . that s a woman who stopped every bullet with her wristlet. she was something. those were the days. all right. let s bring you up to date on what s going on of the we know isis is threatening over there, over here perhaps. we showed you a couple of over the last couple of days about general dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs, how he said essentially that if the situation changes, he would request the president authorize boots on the ground. yesterday joe biden said yeah, maybe boots on the ground. the white house, though, keeps doing somersaults saying absolutely not! there will be no boots on the ground! now as it turns out, they are talking about there is a possibility of a forward deployment. this is a new phrase they re using right now, and that means essentially boots on the ground, even though we currently do over there have boots on the ground. right. president obama saying we re not going to put you in combat roles. we re going to forward deploy you, which was the messaging there. it s confusing cause you re asking for strategy, you re getting semantics. you want clarity, but now we re confused. is it war? can we do this with boots on the ground? the problem is, whether you re the biggest obama fan or critic, he s not a military expert and the military experts all say you need people either with troops that are on the ground instructing them, coaching them, and calling in air strikes, or you need actually our troops to do this. nobody says it s going to be the same war as the one we fought before. many say the correct war would look like our invasion in afghanistan in 2001. former secretary of defense gates for president obama and president bush looked at the strategy as he heard it, says it s not going to work unless we fight. they re not going to be able to be successful against isis strictly from the air, or strictly depending on the iraqi forces or peshmerga or the sunni tribes acting on their own. so there will be boots on the ground if there is to be any hope of success in the strategy. that s what everybody says. so this white house has changed so many times over what the story is. remember, we don t have a strategy. okay, we got a strategy. there won t be any boots on the ground and we re not going to call it war. well, there are going to be boots on the ground, but we re going to call it forward deployment. is it going to be a war? no. it s going to be something to kill off isis. that s the whole thing. and you know who wants to do exactly that? our military. here is former navy seal carl hillary clinton, gby talking about how they want to take the fight to isis. for the most part, our troops will go over there. they joined the military to fight a war, to combat the problem, to combat something threatening our homeland. these troops will go there and fight with all their heart and we are the most lethal fighting force. let us go over there, take away the rules of engagement. every time the president interceded and let politics play a role, it has been a disaster. it is generally i don t known tr generals recommended that we have a residual force left behind. we pulled out, look at the disaster. general austin two weeks ago, he is the general in charge of the middle east, requested u.s. troops then with the iraqi and kurdish forces. he was rejected at the mosul dam and we re still balloting to suppress eye social security who are battling for it back. all in all, a lot of guys and a lot of women fought and they feel like it was fruitless. mark levin has a message for them. i want you to know that your sons and daughters are heros. they did exactly the right thing. i want to apologize to you for this phony commander in chief who cut and run. and as a result, helped build up this enemy, this isis, isil, whatever the hell it is, these terrorists, these cockroaches that we re now having to deal with or should deal with once and for all. you know what? it just amazes me, do we want to win wars anymore? because we know how to win them. we remember how we won world war ii. sure. so the message probably is, mr. president, just tell us the truth. there is a possibility that we might need some combat troops or some boots on the ground. in the end, don t be surprised if the number of american troops over there is probably pretty close to the number of residual troops that were requested by many experts before we got the heck out of there. we re the only ones who know how to do it. it s extremely tough. nobody else knows how to do it. nor willing to do it, too. let our military work with the branches there together on this mission. they re willing to do it for all of us. heather childers stands by with all that s been breaking. we re following this breaking developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video shows that she was followed. take a look. hannah graham can be seen walking through a mall in charlottesville, a man in front of her stops and follows her. two minutes later, graham walks past a jewelry shop. a few seconds later, we see the same man walking behind her. last night that man told police that he was walking with her because she seemed distressed. he says another man approached her, put his arm around graham. graham, the fourth young woman to go missing in the same area in the past five years. to stay or not to stay? let s go live to scotland where polls are open for an historic vote. turnout is expected to be high as the voters decide whether to remain part of the united kingdom or not. several opinion polls are showing support split down the middle. we re keeping a close eye on the election because britain is a close ally, a force of independence would weaken their defense capability. the nfl s in fact violence scandal growing. two more stars benched. greg hardy was suspended after convicted of assaulting his ex girlfriends. jonathan dwyer, arizona cardinal under arrest accused of beating his wife two separate times. here is hall of famer jerry rice s take on all of this. i think the right thing right now is it take them off the field because it s not about football. until the situation is resolved. it s very important to let people know that we re just not going to tolerate that and the players need to recognize that hey, look. if i do something like that, i m going to get suspended or i could be banned from the league. and finally, caught on camera, look at this. a wild police chase comes to a firey end in south l.a a man and woman actually robbed that van. they took off, drove on some flat tires. that caused the sparks that you see flying from the metal rims. then they jumped on to the sidewalks, nearly taking down pedestrians near the end of the chase, the driver hit a dog. we have good news. the dog survived. the drivers were arrested. those are a look at your headlines. craziness. they ran over one of those nail strips. why always in los angeles? unbelievable. because they ve got a helicopter following all those things. so they follow them, we put them on tv. it s time for you to choose the news. we re going to tell you about the three stories we ve been details this morning and tell you which has infuriated you the most. first waffle house in grapevine, texas, where a state trooper, who is also a chopper pilot for the texas state troops went into that location, wearing his uniform and he got yelled at by the manager. he said, you re wearing a gun. you got to get out of there. now waffle house is apologizing and said we didn t realize that he was in uniform. which is wrong. it s different. but the trooper says he felt humiliated because of the way the manager yelled at him from across the room. exactly. second story was a school being accused of bullying a child asked to stand outside the class because he did not want to say the pledge of allegiance. he was told to stand outside if he wasn t going to stand. the superintendent was a veteran and he said i didn t want him to disturb and distract the other children who wanted to say the pledge. so they put him outside. atheist group and parents saying that child was belayed. you re not supposed to reveal. the neighbors called the cops on a mom of three who let her six-year-old play outside. she was watching through the window. the cops come and ask her a bunch of questions. she really feels as though this nosey neighbor ruined her life. so now we put it up to you. we said what story bothers you the most? most intrigues you? 60% of you were bothered by the pledge bullying story where the child was asked to step outside after not standing and saying the pledge of allegiance. a quarter of you bugged by the cop who was asked to leave the waffle house and 16% about the nosey neighbor. it s interesting on the story on the pledge out of newtown, north dakota, apparently the father of the kid would not stand. he said we re trying to raise free thinkers and that s why he didn t want his child to stand up. then they were asked to go out in the hall where you know what? the kid could have done some free thinking. right. here is what you re saying on facebook. deb says if you don t want to say he doesn t want to hear it either, so problem solved. a stand in the hall. on facebook, sherry said, i do not agree he should have had to stand in the hallway, if we re allowed our right to say it, then he should have been allowed his right to say it. that does not mean i condone. another says i was brought up to say the pledge of allegiance. sing the star spangled banner and always respect the flag of this great nation. how can other countries respect us if we don t start demanding those basic respects? be respected. so anyway, continue to e-mail us about those if you would like to. or go to our facebook page and you can vote again. that s right. we love your comments coming in. coming up, new york man was charged with helping isis. the government launching a new program to catch homegrown terrorists. our next guest has seen this all before and says hold on to your tax dollars, people. plus, he was all smiles when he snagged a homerun ball. but what happened next isn t going to make his wife very happy. when la quinta.com sends sales rep steve hatfield the ready for you alert, the second his room is ready. you know what he brings?

(electric hedge trimmer) everybody loves the sweet, fluffy deliciouslness of king s hawaiian bread. find us in the deli or in-store bakery. also try the complete line of king s hawaiian sandwich rolls. stopping home grown terror in its tracks, that s a program being launched by feds in the twin cities to root out extremists being recruited by groups like isis and al-shabab. we re engaged with community leaders and we re engaged with concerned members of the public who are abhorred by what they see with respect to their young people and want to stop it. is this too little too late? joining us is investigative reporter tom lyden. thanks for being with us this morning. initially what are your instincts about this program? you ve seen it before. in some ways that is kind of the attitude here. we ve seen things like this before. back in 2009 there was another federal grant, more federal money. that was two years after we had about 24 young people leave to go fight for al-shabab in somalia. the purpose this time, the goal, according to the u.s. attorney here, is going to be different. last time they had more of a law enforcement emphasis. this time they want to go after why we re having young people radicalized in the so place, disenfranchised young people unemployed, who might otherwise be recruited by the gang members. they really want to target them with youth programs like one we have here, small programs, doesn t get hardly any government funding. most of it s private. what they do is started up boy scout camps for somali kids, after school programs for the older teen-agers. they have spoken words. things that go after these kids who may not have a job, english may not be spoken at home. and they re just prime recruiting for radical islamists who want to take these kids, give them some larger purpose. they tell them hey, your life may be meaningless. guess what? you can fight for the caliphate in syria and iraq. that will give broader purpose to your life. in some ways they really want to go after the root causes this time. getting into their hearts before evil does. how are they handling entering houses of worship, observing them without crossing the line into violation of rights? it may get tricky. it is tricky. i got to tell you, one member of the somali member said they want to work with the mosque. he said i want to make sure they re working with the right mosque. i don t want to have government resources or government money going to someone who, behind closed doors, is actually trying to radicalize people. the u.s. attorney here has a very good sense of that. he s been meeting with lots of local imams, loss of religious leaders. but it s fine line of the one of the things we know is that there is intelligence on the ground. there are undercover f.b.i. agents who are gathering information, gathering informants. but there is also some suspicion in the somali community, when they hear about programs like this, they re worried is this really just a guise to get federal agents into programs and start monitoring us? so there is some natural suspicion on behalf of the somali community. isn t that part of the failure and the reason behind the failure in the past of these programs is lack of trust? it is. i got to tell you, it is a hard community to get into. the somali community here estimated about 70,000 to 100,000, no one has really precise numbers on it, but we re talking about community with four different clans. and under that, a bunch of different subclans. in many ways, some of the issues that have played out in somalia played out here. there s a lot of distrust of not only the authorities, but within the community itself. there are lots of clan divisions. it s very hard to pierce that community and they ve been trying for a very, very long time to build up those human connections, law enforcement and otherwise. of course. hopefully they re checking into the social media being used as a recruiting tool. good to see you. thank you. so many of you e-mailed us yesterday about this story. american flags confiscated on september 11. what do we do? we tracked down one of the moms who was so disgusted by what happened, she is fighting back. hear from h just ahead. and then, you know her as winnie cooper from the wonder years. what is she up to now? danica is here walking into the studio with some huge news for you.

family dinner is huge. togetherness is family. everyone is so busy, dinner is the time when you get to sit down. we feel the same at our house. what he was talking about, and he s an editor at large at time magazine. he said his kids are at the stage where they don t want to be there. they want to be somewhere else. so why don t they eat, he ll sit next to them. then when they re done, he and his wife will eat. everyone has to make their own decisions. but for me, i embrace that time. i say, and i know you like math, i m doing one clean-up. not two. right. not at all. i know tbt is today. we love it. did you bring us a throwback for us?

philly with grilled onions, double portion of cheese whiz, a little bit of golden mustard and pretzel bun. that s not a it s a real american version of cheese whiz. this is cool from st. louis. this is our st. louis burger. cheese from st. louis. we grate it and melt it on our burger, grilled peppers, onions and mushrooms on a pretzel bun. the cool thing is how you get burgers to be burgers. can you smash a burger? that s why they call them smash burgers. but i ve never seen it in push. it s key to the success of smash burgers. we take certified angus beef, seals in all the juices so they percolate, and base in their own juice. it apparently works. he s a modest guy, but he s part of an american fast food history. when you were at pizza hut, you created stuffed crust pizza and when you were at mcdonald s, you invented mcgriddles. i did. now smash burgers. how do you come a concept officer? i studied food at michigan state. i was really interested in marketing and i kind of fell into it over the course of years, just fine tuning what i really loved to do. it s really great. i get to do every day what i love. i think most people sit around and wish i could combine this and this and you do it. i do. it s great. my kids will tell you i have the best job in the world. these are coming off the grill right now. this is our gluten free bun. i understand somebody needs that. that s our twin cities burger. i m so happy. these are all ready to eat, guys. send it over to heather inside. i ll bring you a burger. thank you. bring me a burger. that looks really good. some serious headlines to bring you. breaking overnight, a brutal terror plot foiled. isis calling for the kidnapping and beheading of innocent people in a major city. 15 suspected terrorists were arrested in australia s largest ever counterterrorism operation. the country now raising its terror threat to the second highest level. a fox news exclusive now for the first time we are hearing from the parents of brandon tevlin, murdered by a suspected jihaddist. brown reportedly told police that he murdered the 19-year-old as pay back for u.s. military involvement in the middle east. in our opinion, he is a murderer and in this case, they don t think he acted alone. definitely he was looking to kill somebody. he changed his clothes. he was there to do what he did and what he accomplished. in some ways i think why was it our son? if it wasn t him, it would be somebody else. brandon was a member of the national honor society, a eucharistic minister and fund his first year at university of richmond. some e-mailed us about this story. american flags confiscated on september 11. the flags were on students cars. the school removed them. a rule determines they were a distraction. we tracked down one mom who was so disgusted by what happened, she is fighting back. our american flag is our symbol. it s different than any other flag that s out there. it was taken those children s rights away and i felt like they needed a voice. the school now taking a look at that policy to see if it should be changed. and video everyone will be talking about. a chicago cubs fan catches a homerun ball, but as he is giving all this high fives, he loses something pretty important, his wedding ring. moment of euphoria immediately we ll be right backed. i love the play by play. there is a happy ending here, the camera guy later spotted the ring on the track at the edge of the field and he got his ring back. paradise is being destroyed. look at this new video. a bridge that we re going to show new cabo, mexico. the storm moving into the united states. what can we expect? let s go outside to mar for more on that maria for more on that. we have extreme weather out across parts of the southwestern u.s. look at how much rain has already come down out here across southeastern parts of arizona, new mexico, and western texas with many areas picking up over three inches of rain. we are still expecting several additional inches of rain here. so those watches are still in effect and flood warnings could be reissued as we continue to see flooding occurring out there with the heavy rain moving in. now, a lot of that flooding is occurring because of what was odile. that storm made landfall a few days ago across cabo. look at this in the eastern pacific ocean, we have another hurricane, polo. this is going to be coming very close to the southern portions of the california baha out there. it will be a big concern. temperature wise right now this morning, you re in the 40s across portions of new england. you ll be even colder come tomorrow morning out there with temperatures in the 20s and 30s. that s the forecast. your highs, for today, making it into the 90s across texas. let s head back inside. it s a busy weather day on this national cheeseburger day. 19 minutes before the top of the hour. fox news alert. all eyes on scotland this morning as it is voting underway in the country. why you should care and how it could impact america s markets. nicole petallides live at the new york stock exchange to break it all down very shortly. good morning to you. and he was booted from meet the press. not allowed to say good-bye. this morning david gregory is getting the last word. welcome back. quick headlines now. david gregory may have been silenced when he left meet the press. but this morning he is getting the last word. he had this to say about journalism in washington. quote, things that frighten the narrative get harder to report, i think often because of laziness in the media, end quote. and jay carney, the former white house press secretary turned cnn contributor says he s biased about the president, saying this, quote, i ain t going to express my views, but it would be disingenuous to pretend i wasn t loyal to the president. and speaking of politics, democrats may be turning on dnc head debbie wasserman schultz. reports of an internal struggle between her and the white house after a series of public slugs, including comments about scott walker, hasn t been sitting so well with them. fox news alert, labor department releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers. nicole petallides is live on the floor of the new york stock exchange and the numbers are, ma am? they re looking pretty good here. let s break it down. 280,000. so that was better than what was expected. the consensus for this was 305,000. you don t want too many claims. you don t want them above 300,000. so that s good news there. that shows obviously a recovery. it shows people are holding on to their jobs. that ultimately is good news. we ve had an uneven recovery. we got in our housing starts today. building permits. those were weaker today. so it shows a mixed bag. we got the fed yesterday talking and obviously leaving those rates near zero for now. also, over at the fox business network, all day long they re covering the vote in scotland, whether or not to become independent of the united kingdom. how would that impact us here in the united states financially? what s interesting here is that obviously if they do not go independent, that s where the markets are getting on right now, that s why you re seeing futures with an up arrow. if they were to become independent, that could affect currencies, the pound in particular. that could go weaker. the dollar would be exceptionally strong. we don t necessarily want that. maybe european banks, that s the story there. this is an historic time. you re talking about over 300 years of history. i know they have oil. i know they have scotch and the like. but we ll know by the end of the day. maybe we ll get a better feeling after the closing bell. so today will be a sort of uneven trading. this is where ali baba will trade. there will be a huge crowd. it could be the largest ipo ever. baba is the ticker symbol. tomorrow this will be a very big crowded trading post. you re all alone today. big crowd tomorrow. all right. thank you. meanwhile, it s 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this thursday. thousands of illegals are coming to the united states. john stossel says that s a good thing. why he says we should relax the rules and embrace the people from other lands. first we re going to check in with bill hemmer for what s coming up at the top of the hour. good morning to you. there is a major plot busted you mentioned this earlier. details on what we re learning in a moment. can benghazi happen again? jim jordan and what learned in the first public hearing this week. another arrest in the nfl. the new iphone is out and you will see it firsthand. what it can and cannot do. you a buyer? martha and i will see you here in ten minutes hello! three grams daily of beta-glucan. a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. thank you! he gets a ready for you alert hthe second his room is ready. so he knows exactly when he can check in and power up before his big meeting. and when alan gets all powered up, ya know what happens? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i m sold! he s a selling machine! put it there. and there, and there, and there. la quinta inns & suites is ready for you, so you ll be ready for business. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com! la quinta! well, they are apparently coming to america. fearing a crackdown in washington, a new report claims tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are set to stream across our southern border. according to a 2012 report on the fiscal impact of immigration, illegal immigrants cost the united states of america $346 billion across 15 federal agencies each year. our next guest says america needs immigrants. john stossel host of stossel at fox business joins us live. i m glad you corrected that. i don t say we want illegal immigrants. immigrants are good. we re a nation of immigrants. but people are concerned about the sudden the deluge of people coming across. it s awful that there is a swarm right there, but we have a smaller percentage of immigrants at the moment than we ve had in the past. but these statistics come from an anti-immigration group. 47% are on welfare. 39% need food assistance. 35% use medicaid. wait a second. you re not eligible if you re an illegal immigrant for welfare. yes, their children use some of these services and more of them use welfare than americans cause more of them are poor. but the national research council, which is much better research, says if you include their children and what these immigrants do later in life, they contribute on average $83,000 to america. you run through some of the companies that you claim are started by immigrants. they are. ebay, radio shack, sara lee, kraft food. blow dryers, all kinds of good stuff. we would still be towel drying if it wasn t for immigrants. i think we re just dealing with legal immigration and not illegal, these things wouldn t be argued. they can t get here legally. the waiting list, i want to say go back, apply and do it right. obey the law. if you re an indian computer programmer, you get here in 35 years. if you re a mexican high school student, 130 years. we re supposed to say obey the law. wait 130 years. so you re encouraging people, if you want to become an american, you re going to have to break the law? i don t want we should change the law to make it no doubt. there is immigration reform that we agree on, people are argue being what not to do. we should do the easy stuff first. that s show business to argue about what we don t agree with. start with securing the southern border. which would be easier if people could come here to work easier and focus on the crooks and terrorists. john is going to be focusing on this tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern time over on the fox business network. they are coming to america. thanks for coming here. thanks. one for the road is next. there it is. this is where i met your grandpa. right under this tree. (man) some things are worth holding onto. they re hugging the tree. (man) that s why we got a subaru. or was it that tree?

[guy] aarrrrr! [announcer]even accents of vitamin-rich veggies. [guy] so happy! you love it so much. yes you do! but it s good for you,too. [announcer] healthful. flavorful. beneful. from purina. talking about all the problems with the nfl. i think it s especially noteworthy when superstars sound off about some of the issues. says he doesn t like to see children being hurt. tells parents to go home and hug their children and it talks about how much you should covet your time in the nfl. that s in the daily news. it just got worse with the news that we were greeted with this morning. sure is interesting to hear eli s take. do not mess with a woman nine months pregnant. she chased him down after he swiped her purse outside a grocery store and knocked her to the ground. the woman finally grabbed him and held him down until the police got there. here is the best part, just hours later, she gave birth to a healthy baby. thank goodness. that s right. and finally, reilly the four-year-old dog and his owner jump from a plane. the san francisco photographer, he s completed more than 400 jumps. this is his first with his dog dangling right there. make it a great day. happy birthday to the air force. it s also national cheeseburger day. after the show show next. bill: want to start with a fox news alert. a major terror plot busted in australia with direct ties to isis. their plot was to kidnap innocents, publicly behead them and post it online. martha: this is the world we are living in where we report stories like this. hundreds of australian officials
jeffrey says it is not hate. it is heritage. thank you to evan who responded. appreciate it. we ll see you back here tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. fox & friends starts now. bye. good morning. it is wednesday, october 1. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. ebola here in america and this morning a warning to you, the very deadly and contagious virus may have spread. a hive report from the hospital straight a live report from the hospital straight ahead. the federal government getting involved now in the redskins controversy. the f.c.c. perhaps ready to ban announcers from saying the name redskin or face a big fine. as the secret service tries to explain how a guy with a knife ran into the east room, lawmakers offer a simple solution. have you ever heard of these guys? this morning the big question: how did a convict with a gun get face-to-face with the president in a separate incident? but be happy everyone. mornings are better with friends. i m bobby bowden. you re watching fox & friends. bobby and everybody else, you re watching fox & friends, and today we are clad in pink because october is breast cancer awareness month. it is. we encourage you to wear pink with us today. pink pajamas. throw on a pink tie like the guys. all of out there have a big head start on us. we had to remember at 3:00 in the morning. look at us and say now i remember why we should wear pink today. we ll remind you throughout the hour as well. this is one of those days where there s a lot of news and it starts in texas. a fox news alert. the first case of ebola found in america. at this hour the man this deadly disease in isolation at a dallas, texas, hospital. that is where we have a reporter live. what is the latest on this very scary news? reporter: the patient in isolation in i.c.u. because of privacy laws, they can t disclose his condition or his nationality or age. but we can tell you that, they re telling us that he is communicating and even saying that he s hungry. here s what we know. this is the time line. the patient left liberia on september 19 arriving in dallas on the 20th. no symptom for four days. on friday, september 26, he came to the e.r. here at the presbyterian hospital. doctors say he showed no signs of anything unusual, nondescript systems, they say. lab results, they were not impressive as they called it. he did not say, though, where he had traveled. he was given antibiotics, sent home. two days later on sunday, september 28, he was brought back to the hospital by ambulance to the e.r. he had diarrhea and other symptoms. it is important to know ebola is not an airborne virus. people have to come in contact with either blood or bodily fluids. we protect people in this case by making sure we find the contacts, identify them and make sure they re traced every day for 21 days. if they develop a fever, they re immediately isolated. officials here working with the c.d.c. to identify those who came in contact with him, including family members as well as other patients in the e.r. who were here on friday. again, they don t believe that those folks are in immediate danger, if you will, because of how this virus is transmitted. live in dallas, texas, at the hospital where this is an interesting bit of trivia. guess where my daughter works in dallas, texas? across the street from that hospital. i was talking to her last night. she said people down this, are you kidding? ebola is in america? we heard the president say it wasn t going to come here but it s here. the guy who heads up the c.d.c. with us in about an hour from now. he says they re on it. you don t have to worry. i watched him about 6:00 yesterday. the press conference was almost surreal, in the phone, on person, anybody else come in. we got it under control. got to run. it is interesting as we move into our next story, the president is actually visiting with the c.d.c. to get information on this situation. and this is where a huge secret service breakdown took place worse than we ever thought. apparently a convict came within inches of our president. this is two weeks ago. and no one even knew he had a gun until he ended up turning it over. shocking. this is on the heels of the guy who ran into the east room of the white house with a gun, omar gonzalez, you saw right there. what s extraordinary about this case is and jason chaffitz found out about this from a whistle-blower. some people are trying to throw the director of the secret service under the bus. the president is in an elevator in atlanta and a security contractor who had three felony convictions over in the corner he s got a cell phone and taking a picture of the president. one of the secret service guys says stop that. he keeps doing it. the president gets off the elevator and the agents go over and say what is your deal? they ran a background check, found out he had three convictions for assault and battery. they called his supervisor and the supervisor said you re fired. then the guy goes, all right, fine, then i m going to turn in my weapon. then they go he had a gun? are you kidding me? not until that point did they know. no idea. a huge breach. you understand why the grilling took place with the head of this department there on capitol hill. this is a systemic issue here. why aren t they taking it seriously? we re talking about the director, judy pierson. don t let somebody get close to the president. don t let somebody get close to his family. don t let them get in the white house ever. if they have to take action that s lethal, i will have their back. this, ladies and gentlemen, is not a democratic issue. this is not a republican issue. this is an american issue. this is also an issue of national security. have you ever heard of these guys? i wish to god you protected the white house like you re protecting your reputation here. this is unacceptable, and i take full responsibility. and i will make sure that it does not happen again. all these excuses. moral is down. some actually said sequester cut into the funding. the guys are overworked. a lack of leadership. just unbelievable because the secret service, if you come to new york when the president comes here, everything stops. innocent people can t get anywhere and you almost think it s overkill. on the other hand, you find out there s no excuse for the fact that this guy, omar gonzalez, gets over the fence, gets into the house, across the lawn with the ushers deciding to suppress the alarm as he gets inside. off-duty secret service officer is the one who tackles him, who is the detail assigned to the children. all this happens, and i think this woman in a way i feel so bad for her because she just took over a few months ago. she took over to bring some, i guess some sensitivity within the secret service because of two international incidents. she was also asked how many times she brings it to the president s attention when something like this happens. once in the past year in 2014 where this was actually brought to the president s attention. this is something looked at to be a systemic issue where those in the secret service apparently close to this situation feel as though they don t feel comfortable going to their superiors when they re not comfortable in a situation that could be potentially deadly or dangerous for our commander in chief. there s a fellow named dan emmet, former secret service marine as well. he says there s got to be big changes at the secret service. he says she has got to go. she s great. she s a career officer. she s a former cop. she was in the secret service for a long time but she s got no military background. and he makes the argument we are a nation at war. you need somebody with a military background. what he s suggesting is the military take over. he suggests lieutenant colonel allen west because he s a leader, he s got great diplomatic skills and you know what? he s got a military background. that is the facebook question. do you believe it is time for the military to take over the secret service? in your mind is lieutenant colonel allen west the perfect mix of military and congressional leader? meanwhile heather nauert is poised to tell us what else is happening. hi. you were talking about the c.d.c. they are still investigating what has so many parents nervous this morning. an alarming report is out that that fast moving mystery virus that has sent thousands of children to the hospital all across the country and is believed to be paralyzing some is growing this morning. doctors first reported ten cases in denver, colorado, and now there are four new cases in boston. the victims there range in age from 4 to 15 years old. a christmas party turned into a scene of mass murder and today muhammad muhammad will learn if he gets to leave prison if he is an old man. he was arrested in 2010 but he pressed a button on his cell phone to trigger a bomb and to try to kill thousands of people at a christmas tree lighting in portland. the bomb turned out to be a fake. pras provided by undercover it was provided by undercover agents. he could spend 40 years behind bar. police are saying aaron lewis, the suspect accused of murdering the real estate agent in arkansas is the only suspect in the case, even though we heard this yesterday. he pointed the finger at another man on live television. [inaudible] the air force has a military base why beverly? she was a rich broker. do you have anything to say to the family? beverly is the victim right there. police question that man trevor he spoke about but they ruled him out. lewis could face the death penalty. he is behind bars for murder but this morning van der sloot is now a father. his wife whom he met while he was in prison gave birth to a baby girl. van der sloot is behind bars for a 20 year sentence for a murder in peru. he remains the prime suspect. in the world of sports the f.c.c. yesterday says they re considering complaints filed to them by a person who is concerned about the renewal of the washington sports station that carries the redskins, wwxf f.m. why? they keep using the name redskins because that is the name of the team in the national football league and tom wheeler is considering whether they should get a license or not because they use this name. they could get severe punishment to be determined here. the owner, dan snyder, said he s not going to change the name. earlier this year the u.s. patent and trademark canceled the team s trademark on the famous logo saying it was disparaging to native americans. the team appealed the decision. this fine or punishment for anyone saying it over the air waves is a significant consideration. the f.c.c. would have to first pull the license that radio station. if they do, they effectively ban the use of that word on other radio stations and tv stations as well. wouldn t impact cable and stuff like that. nonetheless, we want to know what do you think? here s the administration once again injecting themselves into this debate about whether or not it is appropriate to use the word redskins. the name redskins. until they change the name, the name is the name. sitting bull called himself a redskin. the team was named in salute to the redskins. the redskins fans want it. the indian tribes in 2004, 90% had no problem with it. now 70% have no problem. what is the problem? let us know what you think. 6:13. coming up, he murdered a police officer in cold blood and is in prison but that won t stop him from giving a college commencement speech and you won t believe who invited that guy. chef emril is dipping into politics. his opinion on why the economy is tanking and why the president is to blame. at od, whatever business you re in, that s the business we re in. with premium service like one of the best on-time delivery records and a low claims ratio, we do whatever it takes to make your business our business. od. helping the world keep promises. a fox news alert. for the first time ebola is here in the united states, and the c.d.c. warns the deadly and contagious virus may have spread. so what do we need to know? joining us is the infectious disease expert dr. saul. thank you for being with us. scary information, as we know one confirmed case of ebola in the united states. what more do we know about this patient? we don t know a whole lot more than what the c.d.c. said. we we know is the patient traveled from liberia, got on a plane, was completely well when he got on the plane and developed symptoms after arriving in the united states. a few days later presented to medical care and was identified as a suspected ebola case. have they confirmed whether or not he came into close contact with any others and testing them as well? they know he s been in close cabt with some family contact with some family members and the health care providers who have been caring for him. they are in the process my understanding is the c.d.c. is in the process of investigating those close contacts and checking them for symptoms. is this virus, ebola, is it different here? is it different here in the united states than africa? if so, why? the virus itself isn t any different but the way we can care for it is different. the big problem with transmission in africa is they don t have as many resources in terms of protective equipment. they have care practices that sometimes involve coming into contact more with bodily influence. here we ve got modern equipment so it is a different beast. is it contagious if you re near somebody? is it contagious through air? how do you get it? it is not contagious through air per se. if i had ebola and sneezed right now and happened to get mucous on your face that potentially could transmit it. you need direct contact from fluids. if somebody is having vomiting, having diarrhea, bleeding and spitting up or sneezing, things like that. casual contact like we re having here is not a concern. i guess what s going through my mind and i m sure many others, he went on a plane. that s close contact and that air is recirculated. humidification systems et cetera. likely the chance for transmission or contamination is high. what are they doing to keepthese so the next round of people who get on there are not at risk or those who were on the plane are not at risk? you would think they were at risk but ebola is only transmitted when people have symptoms. what they re doing is at the airports they re screening everybody with thermometers. and anybody who has a temperature they re pulling aside. someone who is a symptomatic when they get on the plane can t transmit the virus. dr. hymes, thank you for joining us on a very important medical day. coming up, a television reporter makes a mother break down in tears. what did he do? we re going to roll that videotape for you. he dropped to his knees in prear and in prayer and was slapped with a penalty. was he punished just because he s muslim? love campbell s soup? well, it s been the number one soup in america. (slurp) (slurp) (slurp) (slurp) for four generations. (family laughs) some things just run in the family. (slurps) ahhhh. (family laughs) (gong) campbell s! m m! m m! good! for four generations back to school? time to stock up on the soups they always love. campbells! it s news time for you now on this wednesday morning. the sister of the accused boston bombers waking up in jail this morning. she couldn t come up with 5,000 bucks for bail money. she is accused of threatening to blow up her ex-husband. police busted her driving past the woman s house after the arrest. the suspect in hannah hannah graham s disappearance under investigation in a third case. investigators looking at whether jesse matthew was involved in the 2009 murder of a 23-year-old woman in virginia. brand-new evidence in the manhunt for cop killer eric frain. eric frein. police found two pipe bombs he left behind. they had a long trip wire meant to booby trap and try to kill more cops. two democratic candidates feeling the heat for being m.i.a. when it comes to the war on terror. the armed services committee holds a hearing on new global threats. senator kay hagan absent. missed half the armed services committee hearings this year. while isis grew obama kept waiting and kay hagan kept quiet. the price for their failure is danger. with american national security threatened, warnings of islamic extremists, isil talks but what does mark udall say? isil does not present an imminent threat to this nation. really? can we take that chance? with just five weeks until election day, will the democrats handling of the isis threat or not handling the isis threat help the g.o.p.? here to weigh in is former new york senator al d amato. who would have thought three months ago that foreign policy would matter so much and the war on terror matter so much. how does it play in this election? you just saw those ads. it is huge because isis and the threat and they re taking over major cities, taking over vast areas in iraq beheading americans. it has gotten the american public to wake up and say what s going on. when you look at the polls, you see people say this administration and the president is not handling this the right way. the president fails. and so those in the congress who didn t either listen to the briefings or didn t go to the meetings, who said isis is no threat, they re in trouble. look at this poll from the u.s. times and cbs, they worked together and came up with this. when asked who is going to deal with terrorism? 48% of americans say republicans are. 31% say americans. you believe it could play into what s happening in new hampshire? no doubt. scott brown, former military presents himself he is also in the national guard. he is now within striking distance. the polling has him, some of it one or two points down, some one or two points up. in new hampshire, no one thought republicans had a chance there. but what s happening is democrats are going to stay home. they are because they re very disaffected. and independents, polling shows, are coming over to the republican way. and for the first time foreign policy has really become an issue because we see it as a threat to the united states. people begin to understand when they see what these militants are doing. the beheading of the two american journalists really brings this home. and the failure of the president to follow his intelligence briefings, and he failed because the lieutenant general who is in charge of the defense agency, he said this in april. he said you better watch out guys. and was out there and is out there and his quotes can t be denied. senator, thanks so much. one of the new hampshire residents is one who was beheaded and now all of new hampshire, that independent state are really think upset, scott brown wins it. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. coming up straight ahead, he murdered a police officer in cold blood and is in prison but that will not stop him from giving a college commencement speech and you won t believe who invited him. celebrity chef emeril lagasse is dipping his ladle into politics and he s grilling the president. you ll hear what he has to say because he is seethed. say because he is seethed. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me, and you re talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic. this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. it s proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. talk to your doctor and visit humira.com this is humira at work yeah. it s in the shop. it s going to cost me an arm and a leg. that s hilarious. i m sorry. you shoulda taken it to midas. get some of that midas touch. they ll tell you what stuff needs fixing, and what stuff can wait. all right. next time i m going to midas. high-five! arg! did not see that coming.

take a look at this picture. two days ago my neighbor, j.r., called and said look out your window. there s a bear. it s going to visit you, steve. that s your bear? frankie, my next door neighbor texted me that picture. that is a bear in my neighborhood. that is the day before yesterday. brian, you complained about a squirrel on your house. i got a 300-pound bear in front of mine. you see the bear, what do you do? the bear yesterday in ridge wood was eventually tranquilized and captured and apparently he was hauled off to the woods. you know what? it was a crazy situation over in ridge wood, new jersey, yesterday because there were news helicopters and there were a thousand police, and they were all working with the cops to try to do something about the bear up in the tree next to the school. it sounds like a crazy question but do we know why the bear left the woods? because we moved into their neighborhoods. the same reason the chicken crossed the road. why yesterday? like what happened? he knew october was coming. if i don t get there it will no longer be spring. i m glad everyone s okay. very scary as we saw right there on the screen. take a listen to this. a former cop killer, black panther member actually was nominated to give a commencement address at a vermont college, chosen by the students to do so. we are talking about mumia abu-jamal. he was actually convicted of killing daniel faulkner, philadelphia police officer there. he was sentenced to death, by the way, and then nominated by one of president obama s selections to head a civil rights department. this guy is infamous. bad guy, convicted. he was sitting on death row. while he was there in prison, he graduated from this particular school in vermont. goddard college. he got a bachelor of arts degree by mail also it sets up the insensitivity of this new class of students who don t realize that somebody lost their husband and father when they were shot in the head by this guy. marie faulkner had this to say. i am outraged they would have such a hate-filled murderer on as a commencement speaker. i mean, this man, he murdered my husband with malice and premeditation. he is evil. what does he have to offer on any commencement? their commencement speech. exactly. she also said the selection of him was despicable. you know, here s the thing. les let s review. these nitwits at goddard college can choose anyone they want to. this choose this killer to be their commencement speaker. across the river at rutgers they said we don t want condi rice. is there a problem with this picture? this is a woman who already suffered the loss of her husband who was serving to protect his community. and every single time that this man, third time now, has been asked to give a commencement speech, she has to relive and hear his words, the pain there is immeasurable, i m sure. 24 minutes before the top of the hour. tell us what you think about that on twitter and on facebook. you can write our show directly. we ll go over it at some point. heather nauert, what s happening in your world. a family is feeling some pain this oklahoma today. he is accused of exegd beheading a co-worker. his facebook page includes pictures of osama bin laden but don t call it an act of terrorism and that is what has some people upset. alton nolen is now charged with murder. new details reveal he and a colleague fought about race earlier in the day. he was suspended and escorted off the property. police say he went home, got a knife and came back and then committed murder. what do you think of that? two hackers pleading guilty to stealing more than $100 million in u.s. army and x box technology, hackers accused of breaking into the u.s. system to steal helicopter training software. they also stole training secrets and financial information. it is not every day that a reporter becomes a part of the story but that is exactly what happened in tampa, florida. a reporter was reporting on a missing ten-year-old when all of a sudden he and his camera man spotted the boy hiding in a bush. the boy says that he ran away because he needed to get away from hi little brother. pollen tweeting out this photo with paul saying he is just happy to help. emeril lagasse may be rich and famous but he s even got a beef with the nation s economy. this morning he s pointing the finger at president obama. he says his policies of regulation are killing the restaurant business. he says, quote, it s becoming a very challenging industry and then you add all the obama nonsense in the last several years. i just say the government should stay out of things. what do you say about that? those are your headlines. i ve got some sports. husain abdullah was flagged down for prayer. players can thank god after scoring touchdowns. think of tim tebow. they did not give a penalty for that. the league now clarifying. there is an exception for players going to the ground for religious reasons. olympic gold medalist michael phelps apologizing for his d.u.i. he was pulled over in baltimore for failing a sobriety test. tmz reporting he just finished an eight hour gambling session. he said i take full responsibility. i know these words may not mean much right now but i am sorry to everyone i let down. for phelps this is his second d.u.i. in the last ten years. tiger woods trying new courses. the 14 time major exam i don t know opening champion opening up a restaurant in jupiter, florida. who would live in jupiter, florida? it is expected to open up early next year. no word on what kind of food will be served but it will be gluten-free. yes, but it will be low key. woods says he wants it to be a place where people can, quote, meet friends and watch sports on tv. we should point out brian was actually multitasking. not only was he walking over from doing the sports but he also kicked over his coffee. that s where that little almost expletive came off. with that much pause he managed to reset it. later, highlights of the big move game last night. big playoff game last night. where are you headed today? i m heading to dallas. president bush is warrior open where elite wounded warrior golfers compete to be the best of the best. and the president is going to sit down with us. he ll be live on our show tomorrow. president bush 43. it s been a tradition with you. this is a different tournament and i promise i don t play. cannot wait for that. this coming up, critics call the candidate s independent, will this race determine the balance of power in washington? would this school s players like to touch this historic statue before a game? a a a just about 15 minutes till the top of the hour. we have some headlines. just call it the end of an era. the end of classic cartoons on saturday morning. could it be? this past saturday the c.w. became the last broadcast television network to air cartoons in their classic time spot. broadcast channels face increased pressure from cable forcing them to replace the programming. so no more scobeeee and the gang in the morning. get ready for the coffee maker-toaster combo. it can brew coffee and make toast at the same time. that is some good news, steve. that is a game changer. meanwhile, g.o.p. incumbent pat roberts, a senator, neck and neck with independent greg orman who is making his message very clear. we are sending the worst of both parties to washington, bitter pts partisans who care more about pleasing the extremists than they care about moving our country forward. he is running as an independent because they essentially forced the democrat to get out of the race. but is he really a democrat in disguise? here to way in from rearclearpolitics.com. this made big news a couple of weeks ago where harry reid called the democrats running for senate in kansas and said you ve got to drop out and this left this guy, mr. orman, who is now neck and neck or a little ahead of of the incumbent. it has been fascinating to watch. roberts had trouble there, made it through the primary and republicans thought it would be okay in this three-way race. the democrat got out of the race and the independent is running almost ahead of him in some cases. and the republican party has flown out all the top surrogates that they can think of to campaign for roberts, spending some money this. this is a real wild card to watch in an extremely close race across the map. and he s running right now as an independent and he says i did vote for barack obama in 2008, the same year that i ran for senate against pat roberts as a democrat. john mccain came out to campaign on his behalf and said, look, the guy s a democrat. and republicans are pushing this very, very strongly, saying that he s kind of a democrat disguised as an independent. republicans are trying to get kansas voters to think about that in these last few weeks of the campaign. meanwhile pat roberts has a new campaign ad out, and here s 15 seconds of it. politician greg orman would make things worse. orman gave thousands of dollars to elect barack obama, even harry reid. now orman says he supports giving amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. greg orman is not independent. what s curious right now kaitlyn is the fabt that now that he s surging he s been asked questions like where are you on keystone pipeline? i don t know. what about an assault weapon ban? i don t know. what about whether you would cawkdz with the whether you would caucus with the democrats or republicans? i don t know. he s not really saying where he stands on particular issues, giving broader assessments. what s so fascinating about this race is that if there is a tie in the senate outcomes of these races, this could be a deciding race. and that will determine which party he caucuses with. all eyes on kansas. kaitlyn, thank you for joining us live today. coming up on this wednesday, so many of you have questions about the ebola virus. so do we. the director of the c.d.c., dr. tom frieden will join us live to answer them. a high school football team touches this historic statue before every game. it is a tradition, but atheists say it s too christian. one of those football players who touches that statue joins us next. will that be all, sir? thank you. ordering chinese food is a very predictable experience. i order b14. i get b14. no surprises. buying business internet, on the other hand, can be a roller coaster white knuckle thrill ride. you re promised one speed. but do you consistently get it? you do with comcast business. and often even more. it s reliable. just like kung pao fish. thank you, ping. reliably fast internet starts at $89.95 a month. comcast business. built for business. a high school football team s pregame tradition of touching a statue is making atheists furious. they claim engraved biblical verses violate the constitution and demanding that it be removed. sam bartlet is one of the football players fighting to keep the statue there and he joins us now. sam, thanks for getting up early this morning. we appreciate you being here. tell us what this statue actually means to you guys as players. well, it was actually donated to us by the same person who built our new locker room and it s a very nice facility. what it personally means to me is i am a christian and it does have the biblical versines there and i m very proud of this because it s a way to represent my faith and get christ s name out there where i can glorify him. talk about stepping up the defense there. what do your teammates say? do they want it to go or stay? many of my teammates agree with me and we personally are very thankful for the man that built this statue because he did it and donated it where it was totally free to our school. our school had no part in it. it was just a donation given by him along with the locker room. and so when you hear someone say look, this is a violation of my right to not believe in god, what do you say to someone who wants this removed, to the atheist group saying take this out of here? i personally don t have any anger towards them. i disagree. i feel like this is a way for me to represent my faith because jesus christ died on the cross for my sins, along with everyone else s. i don t feel like they re in the wrong because i understand where they re coming from, but the thing is like god, even before the statue was put up, was still god. even if that has to be altered or taken down, he will still be on his throne and he will still be my god and i will continue to glorify him. i have no anger or resentment toward them. kind of strong message. what s the school doing? right now the school is under like they have about a two-week period to make a decision on how this will be modified by either the statue being modified or taken down so we don t violate any laws or anything and get sued for them. okay. let me tell you something, i know this week is a tough one for you. hurt your ankle. you got two weeks out, i believe, and i m sure the verses on there, ones you will rely upon, we want to thank you for being with us. we wish you guys good luck this weekend and we ll stay on this. thank you. coming up, your e-mails are already pouring in on this story. if you could believe it, the ftc ready to ban announcers from saying redskins or face a fine. we re going to read your comments, top of the hour, without a fine. and they waited hours for their food on their anniversary. so why then did they give the waiter a $100 tip?

[ snoring ] [ male announcer ] zzzquil, the non habit forming sleep aid that helps you sleep easily and wake refreshed. because sleep is a beautiful thing. good morning. it is wednesday, october 1. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. ebola arrives in america. a man in texas infected. this morning a new warning, the deadly virus may have spread. a live report from the hospital straight ahead. wow. the secret service left fumbling trying to explain how a convict with a gun got face-to-face with the president. is it time for somebody else to take over security of our commander in chief? and they waited hours for their food on their anniversary. so why did they give their waiter a $100 tip? you know what? we re going to ask them because they are here live on this wednesday morning and live from new york city, you re watching fox & friends. this is dr. phil. you re watching fox & friends, the best treatment for waking up in the morning. i wonder if that s going to bug dr. keith ablow. of course. we re wearing pink for a great reason. it is breast cancer awareness month as we begin october and we just want to reach out with our awareness. you can join us in wearing pink, maybe send us a photo. also this morning, it s ebola awareness because ebola, ground zero, for ebola in the south. we re going to get to that fox news alert for you. the first case of ebola found on american soil. the cdc confirming a patient diagnosed with the deadly disease is in isolation in a dallas hospital. this is where we have k dfw reporter saul garza to give us the latest. good morning to you. reporter: good morning. in isolation, in icu. that s pretty much it. we do not know his condition because of privacy laws. all we know is that he is communicating. let s tell you what we do know and give you a time line here. the patient left liberia on september 19, arriving in dallas on the 20th. no symptoms at all for four days. then on friday, september 26, he came to the e.r. here at texas presbyterian hospital. doctors say he showed no symptoms of anything unusual, they say. lab tests were not impressive, as they call it. but he did not tell the staff here that he had been or had just traveled from liberia. but he was given antibiotics and then sent home. two days later on sunday, 28th, he was back here at the hospital, brought by ambulance to the emergency room and since then, he has been in isolation and yesterday is when it was official that he did have the ebola virus. officials here working to identify right now those who came in contact with him and that includes his family members, the folks here at the e.r., both from friday and on sunday, as well as the paramedics who brought him here. all those folks now being carefully monitored to see if they start showing any symptoms. all right. saul garza live in dallas with the very latest, we thank you very much. we know you have a lot of questions about ebola. in a couple of minute, we re going to have the director of the cdc, dr. freeden, with us. if you have a particular question of interest to ask the good doctor, e-mail it to us right now or facebook it or tweet us and we will pass it on. that s right. now this, a shocking secret service breakdown, just three days the white house fence jumper now disclosed security breach that has everybody up in arms, to say the least. a report claimed an armed convict got into an elevator with president obama. this is two weeks ago, and no one even knew he had a gun. he was taking videos and photos of the president and three convictions on his record there for assault. he s in an elevator, probably inches away from the president of the united states and no one even knew he had a gun about on him until he handed it over. if he wasn t such a knuckle head and ignoring the secret service saying turn it off, we never would have found out how bad he was and how much danger the president potentially could have been in. jason chaffetz heard about this particular breakdown from a whistle blower and he said, quote, the president s life was in danger. this country would be a different world today if he had pulled out his gun. so this very embarrassing news for the secret service came on the same day the director of the secret service was in the hot seat trying to answer the questions about how the guy with the knife and only a partial foot was able to jump the fence, run in through the unlocked front door of the white house and got into the east room before somebody who was off duty and just happened to be passing through saw him and tackled him. how does that happen? well, it was a substantial grilling and here is the director trying to answer the congress questions. we have an automated system that can lock down the white house. $800 million a year and that door was unlocked with no one standing at it when mr. gonzalez came through it. is that correct? the door was unlocked at the time of mr. gonzalez ent)y, that s correct. the full length of the east room, down to the green room, to the american public, that would be half of a white house tour and there should be an immediate understanding that there is not a restraint factor here. this is not the nice cuddly secret service. so the big question is, and there was an editorial today, as we see that the secret service has fallen on the job at least two times, it was all about the international incidents that took place a few years ago and we know this, most are extraordinary people who sign a letter saying i will take a bullet for somebody i barely know. very brave people. but maybe it s a situation where being that we ve been on a war footing really for 13 years whether they admit it or not, is this time for the military to take over? that s the case that dan emmitt, former secret service agent, former c.i.a. guy, he s a marine, he says the fence jumping and the fact that this particular guy, mr. gonzalez got that far, will embolden isis and others because you can do that. we need somebody who has got military background and he suggests number one, bring in the u.s. military essentially to guard the president of the united states and also says while julia pierson, former cop, 30 years at the secret service, highly competent, has good record, okay, she s done okay so far. but she s not the person for the job. we re in a war footing. he says we need somebody to lead in this time of war who has got some military background. he suggests somebody like lieutenant colonel allen west who was actually on this program a couple days ago. he s a leader. he s got a military background. he s got good diplomatic skills. he suggests somebody like that instead of the person who is at the head of the agency right now. good leadership would be key. right. and also we put that on facebook. people are going crazy writing back and forth. seven minutes after the top of the hour. other big news today, accused of beheading a co-worker while shouting arabic phrases. his facebook includes photos of osama bin laden. casey stegall live outside the jail in norman, oklahoma, where the suspect is expected to arrive today. it was a bizarre set of circumstances yesterday, casey. where are we at? reporter: yeah. we have a clearer picture now after this press conference of the district attorney held yesterday. this clearer picture of what happened inside that food processing facility where this unspeakable crime occurred last week. the d.a. now says that the man involved had been in some kind of an altercation with his co-workers earlier in the day over race. those co-workers apparently went to human resources and turned him in and then when hr later confronted 30-year-old altton nolan and suspended him for a few days, initially we were told he had been fired. he was actually suspended, escorted off the property. he went home, got the knife and then returned they say to exact revenge on the people who had turned him in to hr. officials have backed off their initial story that he had been turned in for trying to convert his co-workers to islam. however, listen to this interesting bit of information the d.a. said. my understanding that he was using some arabic terms during the attacks and certainly that s one of the many reasons why the f.b.i. is involved at this point in time. reporter: he is still in the hospital this morning. we are told he is expected to be released at some point today. he will then be brought to this location where he will be formally arraigned by video conference. we ll be here and keep you posted. all right. casey stegall live in norman, oklahoma with the latest. it s interesting that the d.a. should say arabic phrases. i mean, the average person in oklahoma, what arabic phrases do they know, have they heard, aside from alu akbar? we don t know what it is, but if it is something other than that, why haven t we heard whatever it was? also they want to make it about race and is it really about terror or both? nine minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert here with the latest. he tried to turn a christmas party into a scene of mass murder. this happened four years ago. today mohammed mohammed will learn if he gets to leave prison before he s an old man. he was arrested in 2010, he pressed a button on his cell phone to trigger a bomb and kill thousands of people at a christmas tree lighting in portland, oregon. the bomb turned out to be a fake. it was provided by undercover agents. he could spend the next 40 years hyped bars. an alarming new report out that fast-moving virus that is sending thousands of children to the hospital in virtually every state is believed to be paralyzing some is now growing. this morning there are now four cases that have now been reported in boston. the victims there range in age from four to 15 years old. doctors first reported ten cases in denver, colorado, a few days back. the cdc is now investigating. talk about adding insult to injury, an already crumbling atlantic city. look at this. battered this time by a massive fire. this video just in to fox & friends a short while ago. those flames ripping through several buildings just steps from the boardwalk there. no one has been hurt so far. but 17 people are now without a place to live this morning. atlantic city reeling from the closure of several casinos. i can t believe wal-mart is blaming me. that from tracy morgan. he is now firing back at the company after the company pointed the finger at him. wal-mart saying that the injuries from the crash were, quote, caused in whole or in part by the plaintiff s failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt. he felt compelled to speak out. not too happy. thank you very much. the sec received a petition to deny renewing the license of a radio station, sports radio station in washington, d.c. because they used the term, redskins all the time. it s the name of the team. well, if the fcc pulls the license, that will effectively ban stations from using redskins. we asked you in the last hour what you thought about it and the twitter machine and e-mail machine has lighted up. that s right. one says this, new sec means federal control of citizens instead of federal communications commission. david says on twitter, they are going way too far. but yet again, the pc police just will not stop. and bill e mailed us and writes, i m not a big football fan, but i feel the redskins name is no different than the indians or chiefs. the government needs to keep their noses out of it. or braves. there go. keep them coming. we ll watch and read. 12 minutes after the hour. many of you have questions about the ebola virus that is in dallas right now. so do we. the director of the cdc about be here to answer them live coming up next. and he dropped had his knees in prayer and slapped with a penalty. was he punished because it s a muslim prayer? the football controversy brewing this morning. when diet and exercise aren t enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. yeah! crestor is not for people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of serious side effects. are you down with crestor? ask your doctor about crestor. ok who woh, i do!t rolls? (whoooosh! smack!) (whoooosh! smack!) (whoooosh! smack!) (whoooosh! smack!) (whoooosh! smack!) (whoooosh! smack!) (whoooosh! smack!) thanks carol! (electric hedge trimmer) everybody loves the sweet, fluffy deliciouslness of king s hawaiian bread. e music there s never been a better time to come to bass pro shops than right now. announcer: bass pro shops is the place for huge savings. like our #1 selling angler jacket for under $20. and rugged, lockable plano storage totes starting at just $10. fox news alert. for the first time, the ebola virus is in the united states. the patient in isolation after being diagnosed at a dallas texas hospital. cdc director dr. tom frighten joins us live from atlanta, georgia. good morning. good morning. i saw your press conference yesterday. i know you say the public has nothing to worry about, but my daughter works in the building directly across the street from the hospital and i talked to her last night. she s a little freaked out. i understand. people are scared. it s a scary disease, but she s not a contact. let s go back and look at the plain truth of how ebola spreads. it only spreads from someone who is sick and only spreads from direct contact with the person or their body fluids. all right. we asked folks if they had any questions for you and we have hundreds of questions. somebody by the name of sally, my daughter s name, wrote this: why are we not stopping air travel between liberia and other nations struggling with the virus? why allow flights into the united states, doctor? the bottom line is that the best way to protect americans is first stop it at the source in africa. second, make sure that every single traveler who leaves the countries where ebola is spreading gets screened for fever. and cdc teams are on the ground and have made sure that that happens 100% of the time. and third, make sure that doctors and other health work increase this country think about the possibility of ebola in anyone who has been in west africa for the past 21 days. and test them and isolate them if they have been. let me ask you this, you say that we ve got cdc people there on the ground in west africa screening people as they get on the airplane. how do they do that? do they say, do you have a fever? do they have a wand to wave to see if they ve got a fever? do they just ask them? two different processes. one is a questionnaire where a series of questions is asked and second, hand held thermometers that work from a distance. so every single patient s temperature is measured at least once, often two or three times before they get on a plane. that s important not only to protect other people, but also to keep the airlines flying. the impulse might be to isolate these countries. if we do that, we ll be increasing our own risk because really the simple truth is by stopping it there there and by helping them stop it there, we re helping ourselves. you talked about how this guy s family there in the dallas area, you re monitoring them. i know three of the emergency workers who drove the ambulance are being monitored. what about the people who were in the emergency room when he first came in and said, i don t feel good, and they said, take some antibiotics, go home? those people are being monitored, too, right? we have a nine-person team in dallas working with the hospital, with the health department and the family to identify every possible contact and will be monitoring every one of those individuals for 21 days. that s the tried and true public health means of stopping an ebola outbreak. one other theme we got on the e-mail was this, this is a political thing, but you re part of the administration. they feel that the administration has misled a lot of people on a lot of things. why should we believe you when you re telling us this stuff? well, our approach at cdc is always to tell people more rather than less. we are going to tell you what happens, when it happens, when we don t know something, we ll tell that you as well. we level with people because that s the most important way, and that s the most effective way to get the information across and to get people to understand what we need to do and the fact is that what we need to do here is to trace every one of the contact carefully. and more broadly, stop it in africa for not just their sakes, but for ours. dr. frighten, i know you got a busy day, thanks for spending time with us today. thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, how would you like some free legal advice? you can t have it, but illegal immigrants can at taxpayers expense. the multi million dollar program that s bound to cause some controversy this morning. they waited hours for their food on their anniversary. why did they give the waiter a $100 tip? that couple joins us next to explain. $100 million, that s how much taxpayer money the pentagon spent bringing military trucks we do not need back from afghanistan. the new report finds in one year alone, 1,000 vehicles were shipped. the cost per truck? $107,000. please don t use it. next, $9 million. that s how much you the taxpayers pay to give children that cross into the country illegally from mexico, an attorney. the feds shelling out the amount over the last two years. over the next two years. finally, 788 hours. that s how much time president obama has spent golfing since taking office. he s only attended 700 hours of his daily intelligence briefings. you make the call on the difference. elizabeth? thanks. it was supposed to be a nice night out to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. instead they waited 20 minutes for a server to take their drink order and we ve all had experiences like that and been on the other end. but what they decided to do next was pretty extraordinary. instead of leaving a bad tip, they left a $100 tip on a 66-dollar tab. and a note that said we ve been in your shoes. paying it forward. their kind act has to say the least gone viral over 1.5 million likes on facebook. joining me are the couple. happy anniversary, first of all. we keep hearing how horrible this dinner was. thank you. tell us exactly describe the night for us. how bad was the night? well, from the moment we sat down, we could tell it was a little chaotic in the whole restaurant. you could see that they were understaffed and it was dinner time. so people were coming in the door fast and sitting down. so we sat down and within took us probably 20 minutes before we even were greeted or had water at the table. we decided to stay. we just were excited to try the food and from the minute we started the meal, we could just tell that everything was going to take a really long time. the server really didn t have much time to interact with us at all. so we could hear tables around us complaining and just really upset with the service and saying they weren t going to be coming back. one table did get up and leave. actually one table walked in and decided to leave and another table said the service is so bad, i don t think you ll want to stay here. so they went to another restaurant. we fell into that negativity at first and were kind of talking to each other about it and but halfway through the meal, we just said, we have nowhere to be, it s our anniversary, why are we in such a hurry all the time? let s kind of enjoy this extended dinner. this guy is working hard. he s doing all he can. he doesn t have enough time. at one point he had 12 tables plus the bar. more than any one person could handle. so we were just giving him a little bit of credit, like he s trying and there is nothing he can do but do his best. and then not only that, you left him such a generous tip. i ve waited tables before, you depend on them. anyone who has done that knows four tables is a lot. kyle hanson is his name, this is how he reacted to your big tip. i wasn t expecting that. it was a good ending to a really stressful night. my gosh, almost tears in his eyes. steven, were you surprised at how many people liked and related to your message? went viral, 1.5 million likes. yeah, i know. it s kind of surreal, but it s one of those things where he everybody can relate, either being in the service industry or as a patron. everybody can relate to the story. you ve also said in your post that everybody makes mistakes, right? so this is a great message of grace. we want to wish you again a happy anniversary and for a message of real love that millions of people have liked. thank you very much. great story there. coming up, she is facing criminal charges for making bomb threats. but apparently that s not enough to make the sister of the boston bombing suspects behave. what she just did. and the baggage claim bandits strike again. how are they getting away with your stuff?

golf joke. jimmy fallon, right across the street. 28 minutes before the top of the hour. we ve got a fox news alert for you on this wednesday morning. the first case of ebola in america. the centers for disease control have confirmed a patient diagnosed with the deadly disease is in isolation at aita. john roberts is live at the cdc headquarters in atlanta. john, are we we just had the guy who runs the cdc on and he wants to make sure everybody understands don t panic. reporter: right. that is the job of public health officials is to tell people not to panic. but there certainly are plenty of reasons for people to be concerned, particularly people who were in close contact with this fellow while he was showing symptoms. it looks like that might be limbed to family members. the doctor said yesterday that he expects at least a couple more patients may come forward presenting with symptoms of ebola in the wake of this. what he did say, however, was he doesn t believe that people who were on the aircraft that flew with this fellow from liberia here and we don t yet know how he got here. but it could be logical to assume maybe he flew an african regional carrier to nigeria and then flew from there here because there are plenty of flights between the united states and nigeria. he thinks because he was asymptomatic at the time, there is no need to screen those passengers. if you look at the math here, eight to ten days on average for incubation, ten days ago he flew here. if somebody was going to get sick, we might know about it by now. he was also asked this morning whether or not it made sense to suspend flights between the united states and west africa or other european countries in west africa. here is what he said. the impulse might be to isolate these countries. if we do that, we ll actually be increasing our own risk because really the simple truth is by stopping it there and by helping them stop it there, we re helping ourselves. reporter: obviously when there was a big outbreak you need to stop it in those countries. however that, is very problematic because of the lack of medical facilities. if you look at what happened in nigeria where the american flew in august, 19 other people were infected after he died from ebola. nigeria was able to get a lid on it and yesterday the cdc said it looked like that outbreak there was contained. our facilities here in the united states, much better than in nigeria. in terms of what s happening in west africa, that s still out of control and as long as people are migrating between the countries, there is always a chance that someone will get on an aircraft and land here in the united states infected with ebola. of course, are you just are you saying there is going to be no follow-up to the passengers of that plane as reported of yet, not in eight days, not in five days to see if any of them are displaying symptoms? reporter: at this point in time, the centers for disease control sees no reason to go back and monitor people who were on board the aircraft because dr. frieden says there is absolutely zero chance he passed along the virus to anyone traveling with him. what they re going to focus on immediately is family members that this guy had contact with, medical workers he had contact with when he first came to the hospital on the 26th of september presenting with symptoms and then when he came back on the 28th and was admitted. i don t know if everybody on the aircraft will feel comfortable about being monitored, but that s where they re going right now. john roberts. thank you. heather inaugurate, turning our attention to boston. the sister of the accused boston bombers is complaining hyped bars. she says she never threatened to blow up her boyfriend s ex and is being targeted because of her family. she was sent to the slammer when she couldn t come up with $5 million in bail. the luggage thief striking again. look at this video here. two men get out of a red car, make their way into phoenix sky harbor airport. they go to baggage claim, they walk away with three pieces of luggage, just sort of calmly putting the cases into their cars, like they owned them. weeks before at the same airport, a guy hops off the airport train, stole a suitcase, hopped back on without anyone noticing. a woman found alive after she was kidnapped and then shoved into the trunk of her car and held captive there for two days. dehydrated and struggling to breathe, she pounded on the car from the inside. good samaritans heard her. they called 911. but they could not wait for the emergency vehicles to get there. they threw a brick through the window and then were able to pop the trunk. the victim says she has no memory of what happened. listen. she got to a vehicle, there was a man inside, a white male in miss positive. she drove him around for a couple of days. she s not sure exactly where and what that situation was and subsequently she ended up inside the trunk. thank goodness she s okay. she s now in the hospital with a broken arm. no arrests have been made just yet. in kansas city, the nfl admitting they got it wrong by flagging chief safety for celebrate ago touchdown monday night with a muslim prayer, excessive celebrations include kneeling. they get an automatic penalty. there is an exemption for players going to the ground for religious reasons. those are your headlines. october is national pizza month, heather. entire month dedicated to one of america s favorite foods. to celebrate, we re cooking up personal pizzas with papa murphy s. so we re getting our gear on to celebrate. how many slices of pizza are consumed throughout the year?

good job. look at that. we re going to make how many different kinds of pizza? we re going to do four today. you ve got a gluten free. our brand-new gluten free dough. we re going to make thai chicken, spicy fennel sausage pizza and two others. you can put anything you want to on it. angus steak just this month on gourmet delight, that s what i m putting on. what s the number one pizza you sell?

i also carry with me an understanding of the mistrust that some citizens harbor for those who wear the badge. wow. is the administration turning its back on officers for political points? former f.b.i. assistant director ron hoskow next. dad,thank you mom for said this oftprotecting my future.you. thank you for being my hero and my dad. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance could be one of them. if you re a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. the police protect us. that s the nature of their job. who is forgetting our police? officer deaths in the line of duty, up 16% from last year. the president and members of his administration are giving speeches like this. as an african-american man who has been stopped and searched by police in situations where such action was not warranted, i also carry with me an understanding of the mistrust that some citizens harbor for those who wear the badge. in too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement. wow. is the obama administration turning its back on our police officers? ron hoskow is the former assistant director of the f.b.i. and president of the law enforcement legal defense fund. ron, is this the wrong tone or just an accurate tone we re getting from the white house? i think that it s a tone they ve been setting both the president and the attorney general for some period of time where race has become the topic of the conversation. the president has made some comments about having the bigger conversation. from my view of law enforcement, i think law enforcement would welcome that conversation. but you want to have a conversation that s a little bit broader than mistrust. you want to talk about actually race and law enforcement and who is committing the crimes and the role of the officers officers is well as the assailants. absolutely. everybody should be on the table. we look at places around our country. you can count chicago and philly and camden, oakland, flint, michigan, detroit that are high crime areas that police, it s their role to go there and police and sort through the bodies in the street and try to identify witnesses and build cases. and there is great distrust in those communities. in places where it s not police doing the killing, it s somebody else doing the killing. assaults are up, deaths are up. what about attitude on the streets for those who enforce the law, who don t make a million dollars and one of the few jobs you get up in the morning and not sure you ll go home at night? that s a great point. i m very troubled by the tone of the conversation, particularly in the wake of the ferguson situation. every year there are dozens of police officers killed in the line of duty. every year there are somewhere between 50 and 60,000 law enforcement officers assaulted while they re doing their job or trying to do their job. a mile from me is a memorial with over 20,000 names of deceased law enforcement officers carved into stone walls. i think that has to be part of the conversation, the role of our police in a civil society and i m not sure about the balance of the current administration. i noted three cases this summer where police officers were killed in the line of duty. and violent crimes. i did not see comments by the president. i did not see representatives from the white house at their funerals. i did not hear from the attorney general on any of those. the good news is, i think, the attorney general is leaving, we don t know how much damage he s actually done. ron, thanks for what you ve done and do and thanks for all those who serve. appreciate you joining us this morning. thank you. 13 minutes before the top of the hour. coming up, we watched this disturbing confession from the the realtor beverly carter, live as it happened. she was a rich broker. do you have anything to say to the family? sorry. yeah, right. this morning there is more. dr. keith ablow takes us inside the mind of this accused killer next. first on this day in 1908, henry ford introduced the model t. in 1961, new york yankees slugger roger maris broke babe ruth s record that stood for 34 years and it should still stand today. in 1980, another one bites the dust by queen was the number one song in america and it s on steve s ipod and walkman. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know certain cartoon characters should never have an energy drink? action! blah-becht-blah- blublublub-blah!!! geico®. introducing the birds of america collection. fifty stunning, hand-painted plates, commemorating the state birds of our proud nation. blah-becht-blah- blublublub-blah!!! geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. the man charged with murdering arkansas real estate agent beverly carter and burying her body outside a concrete mixing plant speak out in a disturbing live tv interview. there is the perp walk right here as you saw it live yesterday morning. how do you explain what happened? the military base. why beverly? she was a rich broker. do you have anything to say to the family? sorry. sorry. police say trevor was interviewed but doesn t appear to be involved in the crime. what s going on inside the mind of this suspected killer? we re talking to psychiatrist and fox news contributor dr. keith ablow. good morning to you. good morning. first of all, what did you make of the fact that he oftentimes there are news cameras around during the perp walks. usually nobody says anything. why would he feel like this is his chance to spill the beans? well, here is the thing, we don t know whether the guy is absolutely guilty or not. one thing i ve noticed in researching killers, particularly ones with a lot of narcissism, is that they think they re more believable than they are. so because they can t empathize, they can t feel the suffering of victims, they can t beauty emotions, so they think you ll believe their tall tales. and that may or may not be happening here because we don t know for sure whether the guy is guilty. so that i m sorry doesn t necessarily mean anything? well, i m sorry for this fellow may not mean much. it seems very surgical in its approach. it doesn t mean he wasn t there or in some way knew about it, but it s a hollow i m sorry and almost like look, you re in the wrong place at the wrong time, i m sorry the car hit you. but i don t feel anything about it. so it s fascinating and horrifying. listen to him a little later that afternoon. are you hurting for some reason? yeah. what s hurting? i got in a car wreck the other day. i haven t been to the hospital yet. you pled not guilty. why? because that s what my lawyer said to do. reporter: why? just wanting this all over with. just sorry it all happened. i just want it all over. wants it all over with. your characterization of his attitude? again, you would say if this were a fellow who was for some reason wrongly accused, sure, you would want it all over with. but the reason this is chilling is because of the lack of affect. if you or if i were in that situation and wrongly accused or god forbid had done something that was against the law, you d be weeping, yelling, let me out of here. i can t believe this happened. not this guy. this guy is generally very even, even after saying i m in pain. absolutely. and before he said i m sorry, is he why her? he said, she s a rich broker. what is the fact that she s a rich broker have to say? well, i think he said she was working alone. i believe he said that. i think we may see more of this. in other words, the division that has been encouraged between different classes in our culture, which is wrong, we re one people, can lead to violence because it suggests the person is the other, in the same way that folks hobbled by prejudice look at other races as the other. this could happen with socioeconomic groups and that would be devastating for our country. it was almost like him saying of course, why wouldn t i? she s rich, alone. i got money. is that a justification in his mind? again, imagine this fellow attacking you or stalking you or trying to plead with somebody like this because what you get back is arithmetic. not feeling. she was a rich broker. what do you have to say? sorry. why did you plead not guilty? my lawyer told me to. why are you doing this to me with the knife? because. thanks so much. yep. it s troubling. thank you, dr. keith. coming up. he considered himself a progressive, even worked for liberal michael moore until he made a documentary about islam, then everything he believed in changed. that film maker will join us here. then the federal communications commission ready to perhaps ban announcers from saying the name redskins, which is the name, or they face a fine. is it really the job of the government? congressman paul ryan works for the people of wisconsin and he s here and we ll talk to him coming up next half hour. [coughing] dave, i m sorry to interrupt. i gotta take a sick day tomorrow. dads don t take sick days, dads take nyquil. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. good morning. it is wednesday, october 1. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with o a fox news alert. ebola here in america. this morning a warning for you. it may have spread. what you need to know about this very deadly and contagious virus straight ahead. and as the secret service tries to explain how a guy with a knife ran into the east room, lawmakers offer a simple solution. have you ever heard of these guys? just 39 bucks a month. but this morning the big question, how did a convict with a gun get face-to-face with the president on an elevator? and the government getting involved in the redskin controversy. the fcc ready to ban announcers from saying the name or face a fine? your e-mails pouring in on this because mornings are better with friends. hi, this is sam waterston. you re watching fox & friends . we re really kind of a law and order kind of show. but today we re talking medicine and we re talking about things you re worried about regarding ebola. the first case of ebola found on american soil at this hour, a man, sounds like he s from liberia, diagnosed with the disease in isolation at that dallas hospital. we spoke to the director of the cdc earlier about the fears of the virus could be spread on airplanes. he says everything is fine because there is a strict screening process before they get on the plane. one of the questionnaire, where a series of questions is asked. and second, there are hand-held thermometers that work from a distance, so every single patient s temperature is measured at least once, often two or three times before they get on a plane. that s important not only to protect other people, but also to keep the airlines flying. what exactly do we all need to know this morning? we re going to ask disease specialist the very questions. this is a big deal. when we re talking about ebola, how contagious is it, in your mind? you have to be in close contact. now it s here in the united states. the conversation is reved up. it s not as contagious, it s very infectious virus burks it s nots contagious. you can t catch ebola from food, from talking to someone. got to have contact. you really have to have contact with bodily fluids. so that puts a little extra barrier. the other issue is that you really the infectious time is when you develop symptoms. so we re fortunate to at least have that because some diseases are infectious even before you develop symptoms. how concerned are you about the people that he may or may not have been in contact with? there seems to be a lax attitude about that and i m wondering if they re trying not to panic us or them. again, it s because we have his contacts will be monitored for 21 days with temperature regulation. the minute you develop a fever, that s when the infectious part develops and begins. so they will have to be monitored for 21 days during the period of time of incubation. what about those on the plane with him? no follow-up just to be safe? no eight to ten day follow-up with anybody on the plane? they were a symptomatic while on the plane. so there is no risk on the plane ride this time. but there should be obviously heightened caution because you really can t get on a commercial plane with a fever coming from an indemic area. right. and the doctor made it very clear, they screened people before they get on. maybe they should start screening people as they get off because it takes two days to get here from liberia oftentimes. so maybe they should be making sure people don t have a fever when they get off the airplane as well. that s a consideration. yeah. the other question, going back to what brian was talking about, people who came into contact with this person, the person comes to the united states, is here in the united states, no symptoms. and then a couple days later, feels lousy, goes to the emergency room. they say yeah, you got a fever, but we re going to give you some pills and he went home. all the people in that emergency room, he had the symptoms right then. shouldn t those people be monitored? they will be. that s part of the investigation and it should be because from the time that there were symptoms, anybody that potentially could come into contact with his bodily fluids should be monitored. you have a very calm tone. do you think the rest of us are saying, wait a minute. there is panic when it comes to flu, to lice. as a parent, i m thinking, there should be a little bit of justification for worry here. am i wrong? the virus behaves a little different and were you virus is something flu virus is contagious through the air, date of birthlets. this is a little different. it requires bodily fluids. but it s here. it is here. but we re not in the same infrastructure as other areas where this has taken off. dr. frieden was on earlier and talked about the possibility, should we isolate the countries that are experiencing this and protect the rest of the world? here is his take. it is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual could develop ebola in the coming weeks. but there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here. right. that wasn t so should you just say okay. let s avoid that area, the rest of the world? there should be no travel to that area unless completely necessary. the point is, is it irresponsible to not check people for temperature and fever as they exit a plane, in your estimation? minute with that travel history and with symptoms should definitely be evaluated. whether they re getting off the plane or two days after they arrive, anybody with that travel history, as health care professional, need to have a heightened sense of awareness. all right. thank you very much for making a couch call today. thanks a lot. meanwhile, we ve been talk being this the last couple of days. remember the guy who jumped over the fence, ran into the white house. he had a knife in his pocket and then tackled by somebody who was off-duty. just so happened to be in the east room, said, wait a minute. there is not supposed to be a guy here. there he is right there. mr. gonzalez. now on the same day that the director of the secret service was grilled on capitol hill for that security lapse, news comes out from a whistle blower that apparently two weeks ago when the president as it turns out was down at the cdc talking with the people there about the ebola virus, he got into an elevator at one point and he was face-to-face with a security contractor who had a gun in his pocket and he had three convictions for assault and battery, and now the secret service is scrambling because they have to explain how the president of the united states was next to a guy, a convict with a gun. if he wasn t so obnoxious with his camera and ignoring the secret service when they said, can you stop that, and then getting fired, they wouldn t have gone into his background, found out he had a gun and found out how in jeopardy the president could have been in. apparently the screening is supposed to keep people with a criminal history is supposed to keep them out of the reach of the president. it makes you understand why julia pierson with all that s going on with the secret service has been coming under extreme scrutiny and yesterday in her hearing she faced the music. don t let somebody get close to the president. don t let somebody get close to his family. don t let them get in the white house ever! if they have to take action that s lethal, i will have their back. this, ladies and gentlemen, is not a democratic issue. this is not a republican issue. this is an american issue. this is also an issue of national security. have you ever heard of these guys? i wish to god you protected the white house like you protecting your reputation here. this is unacceptable and i take full responsibility and i will make sure that it doesn t happen again. they re going to do a separate investigation and get independent counsel to look into it. is that going to be it? are heads going to roll? as you said, she had to face the music. now what? right. will there be a consequence? then he also said, how many times did you tell the president his security has been breached? she said once. he s not even being candid with the person she s protecting. more big news, he s accused of beheading a co-worker while shouting arabic phrases. his facebook page includes pictures of osama bin laden. but don t call him a terrorist. he s charged with murder. casey stegall is live outside the jail in norman, oklahoma, where the suspect is expected to arrive. they seem to be emphasizing more race than terrorist. why is that, case reporter: you know, it s some conflicting information. you mentioned the arabic phrases that the district attorney said he was saying during the attack itself. but what he was exactly saying, the translation, that has not been made clear. let me backtrack. shear what we expect to happen today. according to the district attorney, they believe that the suspect is going to be released from the hospital. when that happens, he s going to be brought right here to this location. the cleveland county jail in norman, oklahoma, where he will be formally arraigned. but it will happen via video conference. he won t physically go before the judge himself. meantime, the confusing investigation into this horrific crime continues. initially authorities had told us that 30-year-old alton nolan had been fired from his job at the vaughn food processing plant because he was trying to convert his colleagues to islam. now the d.a. said that he was not fired; he was suspended because he had been in an argument with co-workers earlier in the day over race, saying that he did not like white people. regardless, a virginia congressman has written a letter to eric holder demanding this be investigated as terrorism. not workplace violence. it is an act of terror, should be prosecuted at the federal level as an act of terror. what i m worried about is that the agents on the ground who believe this could be terror are being told by the leadership at the justice department workplace violence and sort of a disconnect. reporter: there is no terrorism statute here in the state of oklahoma. so as this investigation plays out, if it is determined that terrorism was a factor that, would have to be pursued at the federal level. of course, the f.b.i. among many agencies now investigating. and they wouldn t do it given what frank wolf just said. casey, thank you very much. we turn now to heather with the news. good morning. he tried to turn a christmas party into a scene of a mass murder. today mohammed mohammed will learn if he gets to leave prison before he s old. the f.b.i. arresting the somali american in 2010. he pressed a button on a cell phone to try to trigger a bomb. he wanted to kill thousands of people at a christmas tree lighting in portland, oregon. that bomb was fake. it ended up it was provided to him by undercover agents. he now could spend the next 40 years behind bars. an alarming new report of the fast moving virus that s sending thousands of children to the hospital. in virtually every state across the country, it s now believed to be paralyzing some children and it is growing. there are four cases that have been confirmed in boston. the victims ranging in age from four to 15 years old. doctors first reported ten cases in denver. the cdc is now investigating. and there is brand-new evidence this morning in the manhunt for the accused cop killer eric frien. police finding two pipe bombs that he allegedly left behind in the pennsylvania woods as a trap. they were covered and had a long trip wire that was meant to go off. and he is behind bars for murder. remember this guy, making headlines for creating a life. the convicted killer is now the father to this young baby. his wife, he met in prison, just giving birth to a baby girl. he s serving a 28-year sentence for murdering stephanie flores in peru. what a story. those are your headlines. he s the father? he is the father. how does that work if he s in prison? conjugal visits. okay. thank you. murderers get that. yeah. 28 years. meanwhile, coming up, the fight against isis is not a religious war? i made very clear, we are not at war against islam. islam is a religion that preaches peace. okay. a guy who once worked for michael moore is even disagreeing with the president. his firsthand evidence next. plus, emeril legace will share his recipe for why the economy is tanking and who is to blame. bam! [ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you re pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that s alright. because we ll text you when your package is on the way. we re even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is.was. and always will be.you. i made very clear, we are not at war against islam. islam is a religion that preaches peace. president obama stressed for a second time this week america is not at war with islam. my next guest, a former liberal film maker, disagrees with that. eric allen bell, used to be a blogger for the daily coast and michael moore.com. but his entire view changed unexpectedly while reporting on a controversial mosque in tennessee. he saw a darker side of islam that our politicians certainly won t touch. eric joins us this morning. great to have you here. what exactly did you find in tennessee while going through the footage for your documentary that really switched what you intended to do? i really read the koran and i read the hadif and i asked the tough questions to the islamic clerics and i found their answers matched the answers of people who wrote books that were critical of islam and i found out that islam is the greatest threat to human rights in the world today and the greatest threat to global stability. why do you say that? that realization changed my world view. i think we can judge islam first and foremost by its actions. you played a sound bite where the president said something to the effect that no faith teaches this. well, i would encourage anyone to simply read the koran. there are numerous 9:5, kill them wherever you find them. it teaches kill the unbeliever. it s obsessed with killing the unbeliever. do you believe that there are those that practice it peacefully? yeah. i think that islam is explosive, but thankfully not all muslims are explosive. the islamic world seems to be going through a bit of soul searching and i think they estimate two out of three muslims world wide don t know how to read or write, a lot of them don t really know what islam is. a lot of them are in it because they can t leave, because the penalty for apostasy is death. so a lot of people are captured by islam or indoctrinated, but don t know what it really is and don t stand behind it. what do you want people to take away from your words here and also why won t politicians touch this angle? i d like people to take away from my article why i do not hate muslims is that it is important as americans, as leaders, as an example that we not let ourselves become captured by hatred, that we not let that pollute our spirit. hating our enemy is not going to help us achieve anything meaningful. not all muslims are our enemy. islam, which is a belief system and not a human being, absolutely is our enemy and if you doubt that, read the koran, it makes it abundantly clear. as to why our politicians not touching this issue, i think that they do not yet have the sense that the american public will support them if they do. if they heard from more of their constituents that they re concerned about the spread of islam in america and radical islam in particular, i think they would go in another direction. okay. eric alan bell, provocative piece that you ve written. thank you for joining us this morning at fox & friends. we ll be right back. thank you insurance companies are spending millions of dollars trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. well here s the truth: 46 will save lives. it will save money too. i m bob pack, and i m fighting for prop 46 because i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i don t want anyone else to lose theirs. the three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. save money and save lives. yes on 46. story thousands of sudanese children orphaned by a brutal civil war told by some who survived. taken away by soldiers. instead of me. to protect us. to protect me. the stars of the good lie, a movie inspired by the more than 20,000 displaced children now known as the lost boys of sudan. good morning to both of you. thank you. tell me about when you were eight years old and the war broke out, what happened? well, as you can see in the movie, when the civil war broke out, it was very i was very young, probably eight years old. then the helicopter came in the village and started bombing and everybody started running, scattered everywhere. those are my early memories as a child. people started running and you wound up walking how far? that s in south sudan. now we have to walk for thousands of miles to go all the way to ethiopia where we can find safety. so i was among those kids that really fled the country by foot and made it to ethiopia. not only that, we encountered different civil war in ethiopia where we had to come back to south sudan. so it was a lot of war in 1991, which by then i was about eight or 13, 14. how emotional was it for to you make this film? very emotional, but we know that we need this story to be out there and in order for it to be told, we re lucky enough o have some sudanese telling the story. it s almost told through the eyes of kids who become adults. correct? what s that like, when we go see this film what, are we going to experience? you re going to experience the story of humanity because this is a story of survival, young kids who fled their homes, so their home destroyed. now they re in america. so from being children to adults. titanic humanitarian effort that brought this story out and saved what was left of the kids, right? yeah. it s a story that s going to create conscious global awakening. a story that s going to touch people s hearts and become more empathetic. because so many people don t know the story burks this is very personal for you, when you were eight, you wound up joining the army. yeah. this is the story, it s deep. i was born in a difficult time and i saw how the war affected my family. all my aunties died in the war, including my mom, and all my uncle the. by eight, i was trained to become a child soldier. what did you do? well, we plan escape and escaped, i got rescued by a british aid worker. she smuggled me too kenya and now the world broke loose. i became a recording artist, and as you can see now you re a movie star. trying survive in new york. we came from the bottom, like lobsters, now we re rolling on very good.rock never heard that before. that s great. what an expression. 400 started out, 16 survived. you re here to tell the story. reese witherspoon also plays a key role in this. great message to be told to those who don t know the story, and important, in fact. we see reese right there. she talked about it on fox news sunday with chris wallace. the movie opens in some big cities on friday and then opens across the country on october 24. the movie is called the good lie. thank you. rock star. america has been good so far. thank you. coming up on this wednesday, he murdered a police officer in cold blood, but that won t stop him from giving a commencement speech at a college and you re not going to believe who invited him. and then congressman paul ryan may have run against the president, but this morning they re actually agreeing on something, believe it or not. congressman ryan joins us and in a few minutes. come say hello to the congressman. cold. i took nyquil but i m still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don t unstuff your nose. really?

(cyclist) and i can do it all in spandex. with tena, i m not afraid. and you won t be either. call 1-877-get-tena our shot of the morning. wisconsin congressman paul ryan stumping in iowa and making two new friends at the anderson ericcson dairy. and joining us now is former vice president no, ma amy and chairman of the house budget committee, congressman paul ryan. he s the author of the new york times best seller the way forward. where was that? that was at the dairy in des moines. we have cows just like that in wisconsin. it looks so familiar. what would you doing in iowa? i was helping joany ernst. she ll be the next u.s. senator from iowa. she s running for tom harken s seat. she s part of our plan to get the majority of the united states senate. according to polls, she s starting to pull ahead. up six points now. let s talk about what s going on in the world. isis, a lot of people are terrified by the prospect of the beheadings and everything else. now in congress, it seems like a lot of republicans are on the president s side. we re glad he s taking the fight to isis. we ve been critical of his policy all along. he messed up iraq with not getting the agreement. series of missteps in syria. that helped give rise to isis. at least he s now taking the fight to them on both sides of the border. we were concerned he wasn t going to take it to them in syria. so we re supporting that. but my big fear now is we were talking, i worry he s going to in this case the and dime and micromanage the military. just like lbj did in vietnam. you never tell the enemy what he s doing. i saw that story this morning in politico. if you look, we almost bombed the free syrian arm a few days ago and heard from anglican priest that they are a mile from bad dad and the iraqi doesn t want to fight. when you say i won t put any boots on the ground what, you re basically saying is the things that make our air strikes much more effective, having special forces team on the ground coordinating air strikes, working with foreign fighters, working with sunnies and peshmerga and free syrian army, if you say they can t be there to do that, then we re much less effective. we learned in afghanistan, putting special forces on the ground, coordinating air strikes really makes a difference. i worry that he s pulling punches that we should not give the military the mission and stand out of their way. it s the words that i m hearing that are maybe troubling to you. what we re forecasting to the enemy, but also how we re depicting our fight, are we at war or not at war with isis? are you content with how the president portray this is war we re in? i worry a little bit about it. i think his speech at the u.n. was much, much better. it was more like a george bush speech. but he ll say something good on tuesday and then on wednesday walk it back. he has to communicate with the country. commander in chief needs to bring the american people along with the fight and show them we re going to have the resolve to see this through. so i think sometimes there is politically correct things that get mixed up in his wards that project ambiguity. do you feel bad for the president that he missed over half of his daily briefings? i used to get those briefs from the campaign. we get intel briefs in congress. we ve been warned about isis by the intelligence community for quite some time. how long? the intel community has been telling us for a couple of years. this is not new. it did not come as a surprise. maybe the speed of what they did in iraq, but isis has been a threat gathering for quite some time. what s the advantage of getting it verbally as opposed to reading it on your own? president bush wanted it read. president obama says 41% of the time. the rest i ll do it. i go down to the reading room in a classified room of the i read the briefs and then go and get intelligence officers and pick and prod on them with questions. the key is to getting an oral briefing, you can ask questions of the person who would be writing the brief. is it possible he doesn t have questions? i don t know the answer to that. this statistic about the daily brief, i have a hard time comprehending that because the primary job of the commander in chief is to keep the country safe. and you need to get from your intelligence community, the defense community, especially when we have troops in harm s way what s going on. so i m just dumb founded at that statistic. i hope it s not true. we all hope that. but remember, you mentioned george w. bush in this conversation. in one of the presidential daily briefings before 9-11, there was a reference to osama bin laden and he may try to attack the west. that s as specific as it got. he was excoriated for ten years and then you got the president of the united states, the current one, hearing about isis for 18 months in these briefs, nothing. the intel community has been telling us about isis. from isis to obamacare, once again we re coming up on another anniversary of the institution of it on the american system. you re worried a lot of people don t simply understand what s yet to come. oh, that s right. there are so many shoes have not dropped yet. this is one of the reasons why i wrote this book, is this which is we have real problems in this country and the government is going in the wrong direction. my point is we can turn this around. it s not too late to get things right. that s why i wrote a book to show how we can get things right in this country. with obamacare, the employer mandate hasn t kicked in yet. it s designed to kick people off their job-based insurance and put them into the exchange. the other point is the 15-person board that the president appoints to put price controls on medicare, to cut medicare by quota each and every year which leads to denied care for seniors. that hasn t even happened yet. that s this so-called death panels we heard about when it was first proposed. correct? these haven t even been started yet. so so many more things which will cause people to lose their current insurance. we have a new set of rate increases coming in a few weeks for the people already on obamacare. then we have all these price controls in medicare that have yet to hit seniors. is the government about to get it wrong for the redskins? the government shouldn t be involved in this. i d call every team the packers if i had my druthers. but the government has other things to do. considering a been now on the term and actually putting the brakes, the fcc is, putting the brakes on a station. if it goes forward, it could mean they can not this is a private business. people in the community and the owners of the business should make this decision. the federal government has other things to do and they should stick with it should be doing. once again, his book is a new york times best seller called the way forward. thank you very much. good to be with you. we want to see how the balance sheet is going. don t show us. there is the book right there. heather nauert has something to tell us. i ve got news now. controversy on a college campus after students select a convicted cop killer as their graduation speaker. abu jamal spent decades behind bars for murdering a police officer and this has been a big liberal cause celeb for years and years. now he s been asked to speak over the weekend at goddard college where he briefly studied. the police officer s widow is outraged. this man, he murdered my husband with ma little and premeditation. he is evil. what does he have to offer? the graduating students believe that he has a message coming from prison f a unique perspective and speaks to issues that are important to them. a unique perspective indeed. that speech of his has been prerecorded by prison radio. it s not every day a reporter becomes part of the story. this happened in tampa, florida. he was reporting on the missing ten-year-old when all of a sudden, the reporter and his cameraman spotted the little boy hiding in a bush in his neighbor s yard. listen. his family so happy to see that little guy. paul says he ran away because he needed to get away from his little brother. emeril legace may be rich and famous, but even he has a beef with the nation s economy. this morning he s pointing the finger at the president. he says his policies and regulations are killing the restaurant business saying, quote, it s become a very challenging industry and then you add all the obama nonsense. that s what it s become in the last several years. i m just saying the government should stay out of things. and those are your headlines at this hour. a lot more stuff coming up. bam. coming up, it doesn t even sound possible. a convict with a gun comes face-to-face with the president in an elevator. the secret service be held accountable for all of these security breaches? peter johnson, jr. next. but first it s the end of an era. no more saturday morning cartoons. just sleep til noon. dad, i know i haven t said this often enough, but thank you. thank you mom for protecting my future. thank you for being my hero and my dad. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance could be one of them. if you re a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. the head of the secret service in the hot seat trying to explain how a guy with a knife ran into the east room. the history of misbehavior, security failures has clearly blemished that record. don t let somebody get close to the president. don t let somebody get close to his family. don t let them get in the white house ever! this is not high math. it is processing a crime scene. i wish to god you protected the white house like you re protecting your reputation. this is unacceptable and i take full responsibility. okay. but it only gets worse. this morning we have learned that a convict with a gun came face-to-face with the president. who is going to be held accountable for that and the other stuff? peter johnson, jr. joins us live. this is something all americans are upset about this morning. on september 16, a trip to the cdc, the president was in the elevator with a so-calledsecuri. he had a record. he was questioned for videotaping the president, then it came out he had three convictions for assault and battery. the secret service was unaware, unaware that that contractor had a record and, in fact, had a gun in that elevator. he was fired after that incident. the head of the secret service, miss pierson, should be fired today. in fact, she should resign today as a matter of honor, duty and service to this country. this is the thing that affects all americans in a way that we really can t understand at this point. peter, you know how washington works, though. people go in front of a congressional committee and they say, i m sorry. i take full responsibility. the buck stops with me. and then that s it. nobody quits, nobody gets fired. we ve got to help the president and the first lady and the first family on this issue because it s embarrassing for them. it s hard for them to fire the first woman head of the secret service. we need to say, mr. president, we need you and your family, the free world needs you and your family. we can t allow political considerations to deter security. look what happened in december 2013 when the president, when alt empty men della s funeral service was a man who was a schizophrenic and said later he was delusional during the ceremony. what is that about? that s right. and you look at that, but you don t have to go that far back in american history. how about famously one of the president s first big wing dings at the white house, these two people come in, the solahi family. i absolutely forgot about that. things were supposed to change. the failures of the presidency, the failures of assassination have been secret service failures in the past. the kennedy assassination, the near reagan assassination. we need to understand and we need to tell the world that our president is protected. maybe, in fact, it takes the military to supplement what the secret service is doing. they re an incredible force. they re incredible people. but they need leadership from the top beginning with the president and then the secret service director. we need to change. we need it changed today big time. we shouldn t be discussing this. peter johnson, jr., saying she s got to go today. it s clear. all right. what do you think? please e-mail us. thank you very much. thank you. coming up, nascar race star danica patrick is here with a very special surprise under that rap. yes. i wonder what that is. some sort of a car, i got a feeling. martha mccallum joins us now. that can t possibly be your car parked under there. could it?

start to the labor day travel weekend. aaa expects it to be the busiest since the great recession. plus, there s going to be a three day birthday tribute to michael jackson. that s going to michael jackson will get under way in his boyhood home of gary, indiana. family members including his mother katherine and his children are expected to attend that celebration. that is going to do it of thursday s edition of way too early. morning joe starts right now. haes good morning. mike has been ordered around going back to parochial school. trying to get him ready for school is like getting a village ready. maggie is ready. you guys. a princess. i don t know where to start today. so much to talk about. when you re looking at the threat that isis proposes and it s hard for americans who poses a threat and who doesn t, let s face it, they have been lied to a lot over the past decade but the wall street journal has this great article talking about the industry that isis is, an industry of extortion. they have hundreds of millions of dollars and very dangerous. then the fallout yesterday from a story we first ran here yesterday morning on the tragic death of the gun range at the gun range. bullets and burgers is actually what they call the tourist the tour that these people were taking yesterday. they shoot all sorts of weapons. this girl girl was from new jersey and they drove out from las vegas. the parents, we find out, are the ones that are videotaping this. i talked to so much friends, because i have so many friends being from the south that grew up in a culture of guns. there s so many things that are wrong here. even the most ardent second amendment right supporters saying this should have never happened. it is so shocking that it has been covered around the world. my father was in town last night and he watches the bbc and they covered it in depth because it raises so many questions ranging from parenting to why in the world would an 9-year-old in this case would be handling a weapon like that? the gruesomeness of what happened. you hate to talk about the instructor who died tragically, but i ve heard so many people that have worked at ranges saying he should have had his hands on the gun. of course. there were so many things that went wrong here. and for the nuts, the absolute nuts to go online yesterday defending this is beyond me. i had a guy. oh, no. i had a guy tweet, and i asked the question, why would we have a -year-old girl shooting an uzi. and he showed a picture of somebody walking down a street in iraq carrying a separate hand and he said, this is why! this is why! i wanted to reply but my followers always told me don t feed the trolls. i wanted to reply, if we are depending on putting uzis in the hands of 9-year-old girls to save american, we might as well put the islamic flag over the brooklyn bridge right now. the family says it s fun for them. one could argue whether that should be, but, i mean, the reality was the instructor, she could barely hold the gun. i think you look at this poor girl and what is her life story from this moment on? and you can put aside all of the gun nuts and anything else of that, but you look at this. how is this little girl going to move forward? the thing is, i think there has to be a lot more regulation at these gun ranges. my argument has always been if you want to fire an automatic weapon, like a real not a semi. but if you want to fire these military style weapons, a gun range request proper training is actually the best place to do that. i ve always said, all of these people that want to have these massive weapons, military-style weapons in their home to protect from home invaders, that s crazy. people love firing these guns, that s great but fire them at gun ranges and have the gun ranges regulated so 9-year-old girls from jersey can t come in and get an uzi and fire it. it is a real tragedy. but we will get to that later in the show. yep. i want to get to the morning grind. toppling the news this morning a law enforcement official tells nbc news it appears a second american has been killed while fighting for the militant group isis in syria. his identity has not yet been revealed but reports suggests he died in the same firefight as american doug mccain who joined ranks with the terror group after crossing the border from turkey. let s get this right. another american goes to syria and joins isis and how does that end up? badly. they die. it s going to happen to you, okay? just stay in minnesota, okay? it s not going to end up well for you. when you go over there, we are going to kill you, right? don t join isis, okay? go to disney land. by some accounts up to 100 u.s. citizens are fighting along the lamic extremist. the mother of another u.s. journalist being held hostage by isis is speaking out. shirley sotloff made a plea to the leader of the islamic state, the group that executed james foley. since steven s capture i ve learned a lot about islam. i ve learned that they teach that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he s an innocent journalist. i ve always learned that you, the kaliff can grant amnesty. i ask you to please release my child. that was really compelling, mike barnicle. she put a challenge to this guy, basically, saying if you re so mighty and powerful, then you, islam teaches us, you have the power to show mercy to my son. unfortunately, sadly, it will fall on deaf ears because we are dealing with people with an apock apocalyptic version of the future. i doubt they will pay any attention to this woman. we will see. they will pay for what they did to jim foley and they will find out as the days and weeks or months go by that they have pissed off the american people who are war weary and wanted to stay out of iraq. i think that moment is going to do more to show the nature of this group s evil and they will rule the day. like i said before, we know how this story ends. osama bin laden, bullet through his eyes. saddam hussein head ripped clear off his shoulder. you could go through one terrorist after another terrorist. the most dangerous job in the world is being the number three world at al qaeda and this always ends this way. mike, i know you re the only one here old enough to remember like me. remember when noriega gives a speech and if americans come down to panama and has a sword and banging, they will die in the junglgles of panama! now he is in jail and he is going to rot in jail! this is how it always ends. we always get the enemy. we always get the thug. the vision of panama lasted about 45 minutes and noriega is in jail in florida and still in jail in florida. this is different. this is a hydra headed monster. we have been killing the number three person at al qaeda for 14 years. there is a always a new number three and there will be a new number one, two, and three of isis no matter what we do. the benefit we might gain from this is when congress comes back, they might be forced and the president might be forced to have a legitimate national discussion about this. guess what some they are going to come together. this is the danger. they have access to oil and they have access to extortion to hundreds of millions of dollars. they have the power. they have got money. they have the power to get their hands on some weapons that could kill a lot of people in the united states, kill a lot of people in london and kill a lot of people in paris and if we don t stop them and we don t take the territory away from them and seize their assets, we are all this is this is as grave of a threat as osama bin laden in 2001. a texas father has been acquitted of murder. david barajas was acquitted of shooting a drunk driver that killed both of his sons in a wreck. the family was in tears in the courtroom moments after the jury found him not guilty. bandas car slammed into barajas truck. he and his young sons were pushing it along the road to their nearby house. the prosecutor claimed barajas went home and got a gun and came back to the scene and shot banda in the head. in the end the jury acquitted barajas and he emerged to applause as he spoke to his family and media. how does it feel, david? a lot of weight lifted off my back. i ll still destroyed. i m missing my sons. always and forever. it s been a lot of weight lifted, but i m still hurt. i m still hurt. very hurt. listen. this story is heart breaking. it is so heart breaking. maggie, i m sorry, everybody on the jury and everybody in that courtroom and everybody in america knows who went home and got the gun and came back. like they were looking for an excuse not to convict this father and none of us can put ourselves in the position where this father is and where he was that night after he saw his two sons killed. if it happened, a crime of passion. that s what the prosecution said according to the reports that i read that the jury there was no actual physical evidence that linked him. there was no gun powder on his hands. i think the challenge is this is a crime of passion. the town, 50%, 60%, you go on the blogs this morning, i would have done the same thing. that s what parents say. unfortunately, the challenge is many people lose their family members, they don t go and take the law into their own hands and i think the challenge is how do we manage this and does it say something bigger about where we are with our justice system that most people felt this was justice versus the system. you wonder if i would have done the same thing is perhaps what was part of the equation in the decision that was made because so many people chiming in, what would you have done? what would you have done? and they are saying i have no idea what i would have done. i know most people in line say they would have done the same thing. i think all of us in this situation feel like our lives came to an end. yeah. i don t know in that moment what i would have done. you lose your mind. removed from it all, mike, we are a nation of laws, not a nation of men. that s what separates us from other countries. so if this man did this, if they had the evidence, then just letting him go revenge is understandable but it s not a code of law. yeah. he now lives with three losses. his two sons and the loss of something internally because if you kill another human being, that sits with you forever. he was acquitted. he was acquitted. i think that also the emotionalness of this trial, little boys were killed before christmas and they were buried with their toys that they were going to get. the entire town was really emotionally fighting. let me get one more story in. let me ask you this. in all of your years in working with news, did you ever have a fellow anchor or a news executive come up behind you, squeeze you and say, you know what? don t lose toomp weig much weig. i like my children chubby. no. it s been keep losing weight, please. i can t lose enough. they are just heartless around here. dresses aren t going to fit. senator kirsten gillibrand i was wondering where you were going with that. this is one of the most unbelievable i can t believe neanderthals. kirsten gillibrand is making new rounds for her book and revealing comments she made. people magazine details some of the more uncomfortable moments of the book. for instance, while in the congressional gym, the mother of two says another male colleague told her, quote, good thing you re working out because you wouldn t want to get porky. you were working there, right? no. on separate occasion you can t put that one on me. after she lost 50 pounds, a member of the senate squeezed her stomach saying, don t lose too much weight now. i like my girls chubby. who did that? it s madmen all over again. maggie, it s still madmen in a lot of places. i m sorry. tv networks. a lot of friends that work at a lot of tv networks. it s crazy. congress, crazy. i think it s worse than ever because we live in a visual age. our kids take pictures all of the time and they know how to pose and do all of these things. we are kind of caught in this middle ground between what sells, what people think sells, and what we are supposed to be which is real and normal. mike and i go through when we walk down these halls. you could see what happens to me in central park. bill called you yesterday and told you you needed to look more like a gq model. i need to lose a little bit of weight. no, that was me.

happened there, the sometimes is now suggesting that there was, in fact, a struggle inside the car and then michael brown ran away, then came back. they are trying to figure it out. trying to figure it all out. we would already have it figured out through body cams. i ve been talking about this for several weeks. body cams only hurt bad cops. everybody else is protected by body cams. claire mccaskill, yesterday, she said if you wanted to get this military equipment from the united states government, you re going to have to have every cop wearing body cams. i think that s a good idea. on wednesday, denver announced some of its policemen wearing cameras for month and next year each officer will be equipped with one. the first major city to do so. small cities already in the technology as well. there is video from selena, texas, a officer taking down a suspect for no reason. this is a camera on the dashboard. you look at the camera on the dashboard looked like the cop is using excessive force but look at it from the body cam it shows something different. you can see the officer is attacked. the chief says officers know they are being documented at all times but how important it is to get as many angles you can get. it can change the story. it can change from that angle, you see the cop is attacked and you hear the cop saying you don t want to do this. this doesn t end well. i don t know who the cop is. i don t know who the attacker is but this will also, even in a situation like this where a cop has to use force to get a suspect down, you re pretty sure when they have the cameras on, they are going to use the right amount of force. but this kind of juxtaposition of angles is what we will perhaps make it very difficult sometimes in some cases to find out what really happened. the one thing we have talked about police misconduct the past several weeks the one thing you don t realize is what is going through cops mind at all times. the danger they are in at all times. they want to get thome through their wife and children and husband or their children. they don t want to die. they see so many bad things day in and day out that we don t see on cameras. this puts us actually and has us walking a mile in their shoes and puts it into the right perspective. here you see the cop is attacked. he doesn t know if that guy has a gun or if if that guy has a knife so he takes him to the ground. nick christoff. is everyone a little bit racist? help wanted ads between white and black sounding names. they found it took 50% more mailings to get a call back for a black name. a white name yield issed as much benefit as eight years of experience according to the study. that is pretty revealing. it is revealing and that is the country that we live in and we have got to face up to it. we have made great progress. at the same time, we have a long way to go. we have julie pace with us from washington. welcome, julie. the washington post this is written the islamic state has hijacked a religion. the governor of anbar province provide this. we are fighting because we want to live free and rid the world of this cancer that hijacked our region. we are concerned that a generation will be brain washed. history will not forgive us if we allow this cancer to spread. it must be stopped. we cannot stop it alone. you know, mike, chairman said it was darkest before it completely went black. you are starting to see things as bobby ghosh said yesterday, a watershed moment. i don t know with exactly what happened if uae and libya did attack. if they did, it s an arab state saying we are not going to let freaks and radicals height our religion and it s a damn good thing that the united states is not putting this all on our own. if so i couldn t be more grateful to egypt and the uae for doing it. given their apocalyptic vision of the world and kill anyone and anything in their path, it could well be you see an unusual coalition coming together, amman, jordan, tel aviv and cairo and egypt because they are all in the scope of this threat. and assad in syria and the ayatollah s in iran. and turkey. see if turkey decides to be a responsible player. seriously. this is by rand paul how u.s. interventionist embedded the rise of is sisis. new regime might be isis. no to say the u.s. should ally with assad but we should recognize how regime change in syria could have helped and emboldened the islamic state and recognize that they are calling for war against isis and syrian civil war. we should realize that the interventionists are calling for islamic rebels to win in syria and for the same islamic rebels to lose in iraq. our middle eastern policy is unhinged flailing about to see who to act against next with little thought to the consequences. those not a foreign policy. it s very easy to say that after isis explodes. but, julie,, obviousl obviously the things that haunted the president and samantha powers 200 dead in syria because of a civil war. we find ourselves in a position that winston churchill said. if satan himself was fighting against hitler you may not ally with him, but at least he might say a good word or two for him on the floor of the parliament. rand paul is speaking to what is an incredibly complex situation in syria. and there are two pieces of this. one, there is this horrific humanitarian crisis as a result of this civil war but, second, all of these players involved in syria that are involved in this swrar. not all of them good. even the moderate opposition, the so-called moderate opposition is still loosely defined and the president has resistance of putting heavy arms in the hands of those moderate rebels. richard haass was on yesterday saying we are going to have a de facto alliance with assad. i know nobody will come out and say that publicly. does he realize the white house is whispering they understand if isis is going to be defeated in syria, we can t just bomb, we need help from assad? yeah. even before james foley s death, there was some conversation about going after the islamic state in syria and the question, those was if you do that, do you also have to strike assad targets? because if you don t, are you essentially helping him. the president is resistant to do that because if you take that step, then the u.s. has some responsibility perhaps to solving syria s larger political problem so you re looking at a situation do we have sort of a wink and nod relationship with assad if we do go after the islamic state? julie, stay with us. still

[ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you re pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that s alright. because we ll text you when your package is on the way. we re even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is.was. and always will be.you. 40 past the hour. we are going to continue the conversation about the threat of isis and the president s view. let s bring in editor of the washington post bob woodward. bob, great to have you with us. first question. you ve written so many books the past 10, 12 years of the inner workings of the white house. the war council around bush and barack obama. who is left in the white house when obama has to listen to. do i have to bomb syria or not, who has his ear? he has his own ear. you know, i think he feels he s done this for so many years. you have to remember the starting point for him. he doesn t like war and he said in that nobel prize acceptance speech that war is always an expression of human folly. indeed, thought and was one of the first to say that the iraq war was the dumb war, so he is resistant all of this. he said iraq war was a dumb war and right now he is having to go into that, quote, dumb war. i ve been saying it and i saw in your notes you re saying basically the same thing. you got democrats that want to say the republicans were on from 2003 to 2008. saying obama was run from 2009 to know. he is a hard step for him to take, isn t it? the first step should be let s not relitigate the iraq war and you ve got all these people are saying, we were right to support it, so, you know, this is just a continuation. those who opposed is say, no, no, wachlit a minute, we need te careful. obviously, it s a challenge for obama. i think it would be useful to look at it through optimistic lens for a moment. it s an opportunity for him to do the sort of meetings and discussions and bringing people in, not just from the administration and the cabinet and the white house straff, but from dreaded congress and come up with some strategy here. you know, one of the great conclusions from the vietnam war was that politics is the enemy of strategy. let s play less politics here and come up with a plan. mika, it was very interesting. mitch mcconnell said yesterday on the campaign stump in kentucky and said i ll surprise a lot of people. i think the president is doing the right thing now. you ll see when a lot of people come back to washington, d.c. a little more unity on foreign policy finally. maybe in this moment of crisis politics can end at the water s edge. that is hopeful. bob, i go back to joe s first question because i still can t get my sort of mind around who is putting their fingerprints at least on the president. i know he is against the war. i understand that. it starts and ends with him, but he has a group of advisers. what is the dynamic? what is the relationship with john kerry? is there one? and who are the others who have a consistent time with his ear in terms of helping him shape his decisions? as you said, one of the biggest problems managerially with this white house is barack obama and nobody can tell him no. i can t imagine. of course, know one can tell him no. mika, that is a really important question, but this gets to the mysteries of the white house, any white house. right. and you need to go back after it happens and piece it together. it takes a great deal of time. you know, let s be honest. we don t know. but, joe, i think you re right, that the early waves of, wow, this is a real serious new set of problems, this islamic state. let s get together and come up with some plan, but that takes a lot of time and that means time off the golf course, time on the phone, going up to congress, having people from congress down to the white house, the normal process of negotiation. i think it s possible here. surely the stakes are so high, so it ought to be done in a more methodical way. bob woodward, thank you so much. bob, it s great having you here again. hope to see you soon. nice to see you. up next, a new poll shows the republican party has a long way to go to win over female voters. it s really bad. okay? they are losing republican women. then smarter than your average bear. how a panda i tried this once, it didn t work. no, it almost worked. still didn t believe me. i almost had it. but you had the look going. a panda was able to pull off a fast one to trainers to get special perks. something about faking a pregnancy is all i m going to say. dust irritating your eye?

they say we can t ever be the democrats because we will not compromise on abortion. it s not abortion. it is not. it s about moms being able to take care of their children or being able to take care of their aging parents. women also, though, if you keep going they believe that equal pay for equal work is a policy that would help women the most. something you talk about an awful lot. let s bring in mike and right now. mike, not really surprising reports but i think a message to my party you re seen as intolerant and it s not all about abortion. you got to get better on the bread and butter issues for all americans and that is getting them back to work and giving them fair wages. no that is a great point, joe. the surprise here is that republicans have made up no ground since mitt romney lost. the day after mitt romney lost you and i talked about the fact they needed to do things to close the gap with women. that hasn t happened. joe, the four issues that you ticked through, education, health care, economy, jobs, that the campaign is going to be fought on, women go overwhelmingly on democrats. isn t that something? what do you do about this? the solution in this poll that was taken by crossroads gps and american action network is acknowledge those differences on abortion that you mentioned. quickly move on. talk about policies. connect with women on exactly those issues that you were mentioning. eric cantor was saying we can reconnect with women through charter schools. no. mika, the type of issues that will work are enforcing gender bias rules in the workplace, making it possible to for home health care through medicare. i ism. i-working on a book and it is about money, julie pace. women are really having an they are in a really kind of a time of change in terms of how they handle money, how they control it and what they feel about it. and republicans are going to need to tap into exactly where we re at. this, julie pace, an opportunity for a female candidate? it s a huge opportunity for a female candidate. obviously, the only real female candidate out there for president is on the democratic side and a bigger issue for republicans as well. it s not just necessarily having policies that appeal to women, though a huge part to it but you have to promote women on the leadership ranks on the hill and gubernatorial races and eventually for president and right now that is another weakness for the republicans. i think the other thing you ve got to understand the vast majority of businesses, entrepreneurial and small town businesses are started in the next five to ten years are started by women who have read and know your value and women are the business leaders of the next ten years, and that is where the republican party has an opportunity. those rotary clubs, those women who are starting businesses and really going to create the backbone and that is where the opportunity is. i always say we have got to make sure i say this to republican groups, if you want to win again you ve got to make your policies as relevant to a 17-year-old latino in south central l.a. starting first job as a 55-year-old hedge fund broker in connecticut. a 33-year-old woman who wants to start up her own business because she is quitting the first job she has that she doesn t like. she has been downsized and she wants to start again. create. why a texas father was acquitted gunning down a drunk driver who killed his two sons. outrage after a 9-year-old shoots and accidentally kills her instructor with an uzi. who is to blame?

i think it was a perfect ending. did you think at the end of show he was still alive? yes. did you really? i was sure he got what kind. no. that s crazy! it s kind of like all is lost. bob woodward. i m sorry, robert redford may be coming on the show in a couple of weeks. i can t wait to talk to him again about all is lost because that movie is extraordinary because at the end, you have no idea whether he lived. i guess i should shut up. such a scam to the academy not giving him the nomination! you want to talk about a scam? here is a panda who knows all about scams. this is a panda smarter than your average bear. experts believe a giant panda may have faked her pregnancy to get better care. workers at the research center where the 6-year-old is being kept after showing prenatal signs, the mothers-to-be on moved with air-conditioning and round-the-clock care and receiving more buns and fruits and bamboo. mike used to do that. no bamboo. they say it s common for a panda to fake a pregnancy to improve their quality of life. this was supposed to be the world s first live panda birth. nielson to say, it s called off. broadcast on tv. not the first panda birth but first on tv. maybe she thought she was pregnant and now she is very sad. tony lives! i never saw that coming! you know what else i didn t see coming? what? it s not as exciting but this is the biggest story when it comes to the long-term debt of this economy you will never hear on most tv shows. i m reading it right now. it is stunning. the cbo came out yesterday and they had, hey, by the way, we have revised our estimates and actually medicare is going to cost us $100 million less in 2019 than we thought. if you take the money that has been saved over the next decade just in that one year, 2019 is that more money that year than paid in unemployment. if it s bought of obamacare, i m saying, hell yeah. the debate begins but great news for the democrats on the campaign trail. the changes in medicare are big. the difference between the current estimate for 2019 budget and estimate for the 2019 four years is $95 billion. that sum is greater than than what the government is expected to spend that year in unemployment insurance and welfare and amtrak combined. oh, my lord. this is, as i ve said a zillion times, it is medicare and medicaid that is driving us towards debt, that is driving us towards bankruptcy. this is just great news. let s keep our fingers crossed. a couple of caveat. the great recession was causing inflation to go down before obamacare passed and it hasn t really passed all ever this stuff because, blah, blah, blah. i will just tell you if i m a democrat the most compelling argument is when hillary clinton started talking about health care reform in 1993, suddenly, medical inflation went down. a chilling effect. people who were overcharging we are about to kill the golden goose. even the threat of major structural changes may have also caused health care providers to say, hold on a second, we better stop spending like there is no tomorrow because, obviously, we are about to kill the golden goose. i think this is great political news for democrats. don t know if what their argument is going to be but the republican argument that obamacare is going to bankrupt america doesn t look so good now. great for the president s legacy at what he accomplished. one final thing we know. republicans will no longer call it obamacare. obamacare worked. it will be the affordable care act. remember when president obama said a huge if. if, if, if it is, in fact, what bent the curve. then yeah. it will not you the affordable care act. remember when the president said you can call it obamacare. i know in the long run this is going to pay off. we shall see. with e shall see. this is great news for younger americans. let s go et to other news stories of the morning. a law enforcement says it appears a second american has been killed while fighting for the militant group of isis in syria. his identity has not vet been revealed but reports say he died in the same firefight as american douglas mccain who joined the terror group after crossing the border in turkey. by some accounts u.s. citizens are fighting along the islamic extremists. the mother of another u.s. journalist held hostage by isis is speaking out. shirley sotloff made a plea to the leader of the islamic state the group that executed james foley. since steven s capture i ve learned a lot about islam. i ve learned that they teach that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he s an innocent journalist. i ve always learned that you, the caliph, can grant amnesty. i ask you to please release my child. a texas father has been acquitted of murder. david barajas was accused of shooting to death a drunk driver who killed both his children in a wreck. barajas family members were in tears in the courtroom moments after a jury found him not guilty. nearly two years ago, jose bandas car slammed into barajas truck. he and his young sons david and caleb were pushing it along the road to their nearby house. the prosecutor claimed barajas went home by the way, it was right by his home. they were so close to getting home safely. it was right before christmas. got a gun, came back to the scene and shot bandas in head. business defense said investigators never looked for other possible suspects. in the end the jury acquitted barajas and he emerged to applause as he spoke to family and media. how does it feel, david? a lot of weight lifted off my back. i ll still destroyed. i m missing my sons. always and forever. it s been a lot of weight lifted, but i m still hurt. i m still hurt. very hurt. what do you think, mika? i think that we probably will never know whether he did it, but i think it s pretty obvious. uh-huh. i think the fact is obvious he did it. i don t think somebody ran out of like the bushes and shot this guy and then ran away. i think it s pretty obvious he did it. i think the jury was looking for a reason to acquit a man, any reason whatsoever who lost his two sons and they gave him that opportunity. i m sure they couldn t even figure out how they would handle it. you go online. most people in the social media say if they were in his position, they would do the same thing. yeah. a brand-new poll shows mitt romney is still the clear favorite among republican voters in iowa. can you believe this? it s not even close! for 2016. the usa today poll shows the 2012 republican nominee with 35% support. let s just keep that number up there. 10% undecided and 9% backing mike huckabee. undecided is coming up fast. coming up fast. mike barnicle, let me tell you something. we have all said romney is not going to run, this can t happen. mitt romney, the longer this moves forward and you got chris christie and jeb bush who is playing hamlet and still doesn t know whether he is to be or not to be, the longer that goes on, let s look at what is happening right now in new hampshire and in iowa. if you went iowa and new hampshire even now. he wins both. if you win both, you get the nomination. mitt romney is up right now by 26 percentage points in iowa. a state that he struggled in twice. and he s killing it in new hampshire. if you are romney, are you going to let him run against hillary and let him go through this again? yes. really? yes, you are. if you re this far ahead and the republican party is facing eight more years of a democrat in the white house making supreme court appointments, regulating businesses the way they are regulating business, et cetera, et cetera, this, that and the other. i m saying if you put yourself he is this far ahead, just got to sit there and think i have to do this. he has a couple of big things going for him and it s really filled with irony. he has got dysfunctional field of candidates on the republican side and he s got vladimir putin that he can continual saying, see, i was right. whether he was or not, he continues to say, i was right. what my dad was saying too. he was right about vladimir and he was right about iraq. he actually, in the debates, went after barack obama for talking about how proud obama was that he got everybody out of iraq and he mocked mitt romney for wanting to keep a force there. i m telling you, the world stage right now, the only 30-second commercials he d have to do is go back and show clips from his last debate with president obama and then have people ask, how would the world have been different over the last four years? i m not saying it s a lock. he s got a lot of problems. he is awkward on the campaign trail. he is a wonderful man. but maybe the third time is a charm for him. i will tell you this, if he is this far ahead, at some point the republican establishment is going to look and say, please? please. please? please? all right. while we are on the issue of russia, a new offensive by separatists is under way in southern kraen. official say russia is leading the charge. the government in kiev say russian armored vehicles are pouring across the board. they are engaged in fierce battles. russian troops were captured this week by ukraine. moscow says they accidentally wandered into the country. whatever. on tuesday. accidentally? hey, by the way, canada has put out a helpful map. did you guys see this? yeah. i tweeted it. guys, if you can get it up. i retweeted it. canada has put out a map and say we understand you guys keep wandering into russia accidentally so we are going to help you out. they have this huge map of the world and they have russia, and then ukraine not russia. and say, you just use the map any time you want. on tuesday, president vladimir putin met with his ukraine counterpart but they are not no tangible signs that russia is pulling back. we will follow that. senator kirsten gillibrand is making media rounds for her must book and revealing offensive comments she said she endured in office like in this decade. this happened, the book off the sidelines is part biography and part call to action for the women s movement and people magazine are revealing the uncomfortable moments in the book. while in an congressional gym an older male colleague told her, quote, good things you re working out because you wouldn t want to get porky. that never happened to me once in the congressional gym. you know what? because you look so good. because i never once went to the congressional gym, except to smoke. a great place to smoke and hang out and talk to guys on the treadmill. a couple of rolling rocks. heart was beating like a rattle. sturm thurmond pinched me, i can remember that. that was a million years ago! this is now. on a separate occasion after she had lost 50 pounds, a member of the senate squeezed her stomach and said, don t lose too much weight now. i like my girls chubby. this is incredible. this is just unbelievable. yuck! how do you do that without it being awkward? you don t go there! you touch someone s shoulder but not their stomach. that doesn t happen. so many awkward things that happen down in the congressional gym. is that possible? really? what happens? what happens in the showers, joe? yeah. tell us about the showers. can we get a report on that? i m always concerned about that. michael sam, i always waited until i went into the shower because treadmill time for you. i was 40 years younger than everybody else. the most awkward moment for me, i decided anyone it was full. i decided i would go into the steam room, right? no! why would you decide that? i don t do steam rooms. because i was fresh off the farm. i had never been in a steam room before. for us the steam room was meeting in your double-wide trailer and closing all of the doors. now my mental image. i go in there and all of these members are like 87 years old. sitting around naked! i walk in, right? got my towel wrapped around me. they are all fat and old and naked and i just looked at them. i said, sweet jesus, deliver me! and i turned around and walked out. here we are 20 years later. the middle image still. some of them are still there! the last quote that you read from kirsten gillibrand s book or whatever it is, is the strongest argument i ve heard in a long time for term limit. get them out of there. can i just say we talk about cameras on cops. i think we need cameras on congressmen at all times except when in the steam shower. an accomplished elected woman senator, i like my girls chubby. come on. i think he was trying to be funny but not what you should do. on the steam room issue, i m just going to say, those things should be banned. you had an issue like this, right? i don t understand. sitting around with a bunch of strangers naked! fat and all over the steam room. it s repulsive. what happened? it s just not right. i don t understand. i hope i don t sound like borne out of eastern european countries. are they? to wrap it up. if you re at home, wrap a towel around it. still ahead on morning joe, everything you never needed to know. we got a really fascinating story in the new issue of time magazine. then troubles in the skies. malaysia air is reeling and their planes disappear and blown out of the sky and the airline is now facing tough decisions on how to keep its business alive. josh shaw admits he lied to usc officials how he injured himself and now he has retained a criminal defense attorney. thomas told us about this yesterday. it ain t looking good today. up next several u.s. companies hacked including jpmorgan and some are saying the russians are behind. it s always the russians. you re watching morning joe. we will be right back. lactaid® is 100% real milk?

right. he said he saw his nephew struggling in the pool and he was on the second story balcony when he witnessed it so he jumped off. broke his ankles and we shed a tear for him. so he suffered these high sprain ankle strains. a little bit more vetting from the school and it turns out it was not school. the school put out a statement. the head coach there saying we are extremely disappointed in josh. he let us all down. i ve said nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told of his injuries and nothing after our vetting of the story. shaw rah retained a criminal defense attorney david etra and confirming shawl injured himself in a fall but did not specify further. who wants snoop dogg s attorney? they say nothing criminal about this whatsoever. the allegation was that she was spotted potentially involved in some type of burglary. something i m looking at right here. we talked about it before. the media wars kick in in full force. david muir who i got to say this is the nicest guy. he is adorable. every time we see him, i don t know why mika feels compelled to be mean to him. i ll tell you why. david is so patient with you despite the fact you re very mean to him. no. but he s he does very well. he knows i m kidding. i don t know that he does. oh, well i ll apologize. the last time i had to whisper to him. the next time she does that, just go up and grab her stomach. has he done that yet? no, david has not done that. i remember we were in an elevator in new hampshire and you were like, mika! you were so rude to him. stop. it was a joke. i know you re joking with him. congratulations to david who is taking over abc. as we said before, quick and unexpected change. diane is going to travel the world and we will see her. hopefully, she will rest a bit. she hasn t slept in a decade. the wall street journal. the fbi and secret service are looking into whether russian hackers are behind the recent attacks on jpmorgan chase and four other u.s. financial institutions. according to bloomberg news officials are investigating the issue as possible retaliation for u.s. sanctions against russia over ukraine. officials say the cyberattack resulted in the loss of sensitive data. let s bring in nbc news justice correspondent pete williams. we have heard a lot of people and a lot of experts telling us the next war is going to be fought and it s going to be a cyberwar. here we have russia in the middle of it. what do you know? reporter: there are signs they say this came from russia. the series of attacks carried out earlier this month, but they say and that has led to speculation you noted that this could be in retaliation for u.s. economic sanctions after the moves into ukraine. but the officials say, normally speaking, when somebody wants to show they are retaliating they do it in a public way like denial of service attacks so you can t get into the website. this didn t get any attention at the time. they say the hackers scooped up a huge amount of data on customers and bank employees. but they haven t said whether that included bank account or credit card numbers or account passwords. the banks say so far no sign this information has been used to take money from any customer account. so it s still unclear what exactly the hackers were after. were they after money or were they after intelligence about the banking industry? nbc s pete williams, thank you very much. coming up, how long will we have to tolerate miley cyrus? it s like a rash that never goes away. a bad rash. it s a horrible rash. why? i like her. you do not! i do! you re giving me a rash! it s all right. i ll give you an ointment. i probably would like her too. i feel bad for her. that is from the steam room. when you start talking about creams and ointments, i m out of here. are you uncomfortable, joe?

it s the right thing. it s definitely a roller coaster that i m absolutely glad to get off of. the emotions, it s crazy. really excited now. we wouldn t have been doing it if it wasn t worth it. the man was worth it, absolutely. reporter: the man he is talking about artie t. the ousted market basket ceo who inspired nearly six weeks of protests and rallies to bring him back. we just want back the same as it always has been! we just want our job back! sno expectations. just what it was before. reporter: late wednesday, a spokesperson for market basket confirmed there is an agreement. artie t. who was fired by his cousin in june from the family owned chain will return to run the company s day-to-day operations. artie t. bought out his cousin s majority share of market basket for reportedly $1.5 billion. the deal is expected to be completed in the next two or three months. a statement reads in part our shared goal is to return mathematic basket to the supermarket that its customers have come to rely on for service, quality, and best prices. no shelves across the chain s 71 stores are bare. workers say that will be straightened out soon. give us a little bit. it s going to take a little time to stock so don t go crazy on us but we will get it there for you. don t worry about it. wow! what a story! what an amazing story and how the workers just basically quit their jobs in support of we hear about all of these horrible ceos and get a hundred million dollars on their exit. these working class americans in boston went out because they so believed in one guy running their company. that s crazy. a larger lesson here for i think anyone running sort of a company, large or small. the two cousins, arthur t. ran the stores until he was fired six or seven weeks ago. the majority of the work of market basket walked off the job in support of arthur t. why? because they knew him. more importantly, he knew the workers. he would go through the stores. he would know their names. he would know something about their families. hundreds of workers. and they stayed off the job in support of him. he is the victor. wow. i can t think of i can t either. i can t think of something else ever happening. it s great. fantastic. let s talk about the midterm elections and the big question for the mid terms, how will the president s approval rating impact voters? it turns out it may be as simple as throw the bums out. i think it is. here is derrick hits. he has the numbers in the mojo polling place. reporter: the popular prediction heading into this fall s midterm election says with the president s approval ratings in the cellar the end results may sink the democrats in congress. in looking at the polling data over the past year, there may be a different theme emerging. the president s poll numbers are down. in fact, the latest nbc news/ wall street journal poll has his job approval at all-time low. however when compared to the approval numbers of congress, the commander in chief doesn t look quite so bad. the public s discontent cuts both ways when it comes to the two parties on capitol hill. with the democrats faring only slightly better. it is the same discontent that fuels a 20-year high in a recent gallup pole showed most americans believe that most members in congress couldn t deserve re-election. this poll says 19% of the voters said they are dissatisfied satisfied with the way our political system functions. last october when votes asked if they would like to replace every single member of congress 60% said yes. we have seen signs of antiincumbent wave and house majority leader eric cantor losing earlier this summer and in hawaii, governor neil abercrombie the first incumbent government in his state s history to lose in a primary election. both suffering tough losses so far on the republican side the power of incumbency is not the power it s been historically. a new app is looking to reshape the way americans get involved in the political process and have their voices heard. joining us now is duncan dash. the founder and chairman and ceo of i citizen. derek hits joins the table as well. what does the app do? we needed to create a platform to leverage the technology and create that so there would be real transparency and accountability in terms of the issues you personally care about on a day-to-day basis so you can hold your representatives accountable. not only issues i care about but this is where you micro target as a consumer, as a constituent. i can pick out the issues that matter to me but also look at my representative. really almost sort of like a civic gps tracking device on the person that you elect. it s a very interesting analogy. you hit on a subtle point here which is important. first time it s ever happened that i hit on a subtle point. he s not so subtle. the subtle point you actually hit on is i-citizens is a nonpartisan platform. we focus on what we consider is the individual s dna. on you you may care about three or four issues at the federal, state, and local level and based on world events tomorrow that may change. those are really things that are important to you that will influence your voting behavior. there are things you want to monitor and you want to make sure your representatives are actively acting on. derrick, talk about the elections coming up. we are looking at all of these polls. larry sabato had this great piece in politico saying the republicans are expecting at this point in the election cycle to be moving out ahead and it s not happening. it s not happening. larry says the presser from virginia says, it s starting to cause a little crisis. you talked about a throw the bums out election. what is going on? i think the numbers are the highest they have been in 30 years, where the anti-imcouple bent out there. the anti-incumbent senate is out there. eric cantor is thrown out and abercrombie loses for the first time in the state of hawaii. you always laugh about it. lawyers walk out of courtrooms and say everybody hates lawyers, except their own. you can t get people. they are like velcro. what did they do? we always said the same thing about congressmen and congresswomen. everybody loves their own. that changed this time. the majority of americans want their own congressmen or congresswoman out. if given the opportunity to remove all of them and put in somebody new, they would take the opportunity. maybe i-citizen can bring the love back. thank you very much. you re very grateful. derrick, thank you as well. roll tide, how are we doing this year? we will see our second performs and what happens with our quarterback. there you go. he s edging it. i m going for florida state. morning joe will be right back. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that s not a coincidence. it s one more part of our commitment to america. try zyrtec-d® to powerfully clear your blocked nose and relieve your other allergy symptoms. so you can breathe easier all day. zyrtec-d®. find it at the pharmacy counter. that, my friends, is everything. and with the quicksilver card from capital one, you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase. not just everything at the hardware store. not everything, until you hit your cash back limit. quicksilver can earn you unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you could possibly imagine. say it with me everything. one more time, everything! and with that in mind. what s in your wallet?

we have an answer for everything, joe. that s the beauty of the data. in 2040 at the rate we are exploring star system. how many guns are there in the united states? i have no idea. 310 million. unbelievable. really important question for men. i actually had andrew, my son, tell me this. he always like grows a beard and drives me crazy. not good, andrew, not good. not good. no, not good. if you re a man you can do three things. let me ask thomas this. you can be clean shaven like you. you re perfect. you can have a beard and be like grizzly adams and have a stubble. what do women find attractive. how many days? two to three days. ten days of stubble. grow it out for ten days, guys, if you re trying to impress a woman. probably depends on the individual, doesn t it? i would think so. did you figure out, mika, do s.a.t. scores predict whether we are going to be success? let s hope not because mika and i just got triple digits. i am so bad at the s.a.t.s. either i m broken out in hives but i don t understand this answer. what we looked at, because we talked a lot about income and inequality. we looked in the top 5% what are the typical s.a.t. scores of those families for people who are in the medium, 30%. you do find that as income levels go down that average s.a.t. scores go down. really? there is a connection. it is not a cosmic effect. that is because institutions put too much emphasis on them and don t look at someone s creativity and moxie and talent. that s what i say! that s what i said to the president when he rejected me because of my s.a.t. scores. 31% of kids have tried drugs by age 16 and 32% of kids have had sex by the age of 16. pretty frightening for us old people. i don t want to hear stuff like that. who will choose the next president? unmarried people. right. we are looking at which demographic groups are growing fastest since the last election and which way they are leaning and a challenge for the republican party. republicans do very poorly with unmarried women. how long will we endure miley?

[ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica. transform tomorrow. the summer of this.mmer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours. moments ago malaysian airlines reported a loss of $8 million. it s leading to the big questions about the future of the company. which will announce a major restructuring plan tomorrow. let s bring in nbc keir include? reporter: well, mika, reports say there will be layoffs, review of aircraft orders, even replacing the chief executive officer. they were already facing tougher competition before the two tragedies where hundreds died and which left many passengers frightened. no line for the check-in desk an hour and a half before a flight. seats at the gate empty. these are pictures tweeted by malaysian airlines passengers seemingly showing ghost flights. fliers are skittish people, so they tend to stay away. no airline has ever faced such two disasters in a row with such mystery attached to them. reporter: the images of flight malaysia 17 in pieces sent a chill through the frequent flying public. but first, there was flight mh-370 which disappeared in march. there is still no sign of the wreck in the indian ocean. then last month, mh-17 crashed over ukraine, apparently shot down by accident. cabin crew is still waiting for the bodies of people to be returned. that really took a big toll on many of our people and now we are facing another big crisis. reporter: experts are predicting thousands of layoffs and route cancellations. there s talk that the chief executive officer may be replaced and orders for new aircraft could be cancelled, while the malaysian government plans to buy the airline back from sherareholders. it will give them a much freer hand to do things. they can terminate staff, unfortunately, start to retire uneconomic assets. reporter: but a freak series of accidents may be only partly to blame. there were more people on board this flight. the family behind this tweet says, suggesting social media has increased the pressure on an already struggling airline. and the continued confusion over what happened to flight mh-370 isn t helping. australian authorities believe it turned south earlier than previously thought based on an attempted phone call to the plane after it vanished, but you know, mika, i covered, as you recall recall, both mh-370 and mh-17. even at the time you really thought, wow, this really does represent a stunning sequence of disasters unprecedented in aviation history. you know, keir, the u.s., with valujet going into the everglades destroyed the company. here you have two accidents that have caused a disappearance and a shootdown that have literally caused an international incident in both cases. you just wonder if they even if they survive, do they rebrand? do they rename? what do they do to make flyers a little less skittish. i don t know that i d be getting on a plane called malaysian air right now and i fly a lot. reporter: right. passenger numbers are down about 11% they say in a year. what they are doing, joe, is they are taking the company basically back into state ownership. they are buying shares from shareholders. frankly, the reason why they re doing that is because they want to keep malaysia airlines going even while making enormous losses in the hope that down the line they can get it back on track. keir simmons, thank you so much. we always love having you on. we kind of wish we were in london because if we were in london, we wouldn t have to wake up at 4:00 a.m. to do this show. so maybe we ll see you over there sometime. morning joe starting at 11:00 or 12:00. i love that. coming up at the top of the hour, the call to arm police with body cameras. we ll show you the one incident that shows exactly why they could be a game changer for violent police encounters. plus is mitt romney the man america needs? this guy is blowing out republicans in iowa and new hampshire. well, who else is there? blowing them out. also, the closest thing you ll get to a friends reunion. we ll break down that in hollyweird and it was really weird. first, the west coast bracing for a big storm. bill karins will have that and more when morning joe returns. great. this is the last thing i need.) seriously? let s take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good ol midas touch. hey you know what? i ll drive! i really didn t think this through. brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling) my golden years will not just be gold plated. i had 3 different 401(k)s. e trade offers rollover options and a retirement planning calculator. now i know when i m going to retire. not if. thank ythank you for defendiyour sacrifice. and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance can be one of them. if you re a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. [ male announcer ] if you want to hear how their day went, serve manwich. and wait til they come up for air. [ laughs ] [ male announcer ] hold on. it s manwich. this morning both coasts of the united states are feeling the effects of a hurricane and a tropical storm causing high waves, rough surf and dangerous conditions. here s bill karins hey, bill. yeah. bill, we put up with all of your crap because, you know, quite frankly, phil wouldn t let us fire you. i slip phil half my salary is the reason for that. is that where he gets the extra $14? i love that, to get a burger. no, seriously, bill, you ve got to give us good weather this weekend, because i m hearing hurricanes on both coasts, not acceptable. we need a really nice labor day weekend. and i d say for about 90% of the country, you re going to get just that. but, you know what though, bill, i m not really interested in 90% of the country. i m just interested in mika s top 1%. how is mika s top 1% going to do? it s going to be about perfect. let s talk about those waves and show you those pictures. the largest waves in southern california from a hurricane in about the last 20 years. just look at that guy. there was even one or two piers that was tore apart because of these large waves. in one case a lifeguard had to be rescued that was in the water trying to rescue other people. the surfers love it. holy cow! look at these shots, bill! that s crazy! the new technology and the new gopro cams, we re just getting these amazing pictures from right in the water so it s pretty crazy stuff. this is all from what s tropical storm marie. now, on the east coast we ve got big waves. nothing like the california stuff, but hurricane cristobal is still a hurricane out there, it s now off virginia beach by 700 miles. that s going to cause six to ten-foot waves the next two or three days. yesterday was warm and the next two or three days looks warm in the east, less humid and pretty beautiful as we go throughout your friday for your travel day into what should be a great holiday weekend forecast for the east coast. came out to the range, had a nice lunch and shot the gun she wanted to shoot. it s something she wanted to do and her parents wanted her to do it. the chilling video shows a 9-year-old girl learning how to use an uzi submarine gun. moments before the accidental shooting of charles baka. i can t second-guess him, i wasn t there. but under normal circumstances he would not let a 9-year-old shoot an automatic weapon. have the gun ranges regulated so 9-year-old girls from jersey can t come in, get an uzi and fire an uzi. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he s an innocent journalist. 31-year-old steven sokloff who disappeared a year ago, today his mother made a dramatic plea for his release. appealing directly to the isis leader. i ask you to please release my child. for another american mother today, anguish turned to joy. total strangers have been coming up to me and saying, hey, we re just glad you re home. welcome home. if you guys only knew how much fun we have over here. this is the real disneyland. as much as the american hostages have focused attention on the syrian terror groups, it is the american recruits that have joined them that most worry authorities. in addition to this man, douglas macarthur mccain, a second isis fighter was killed in the battle northeast of aleppo. u.s. officials estimate 70 to 100 americans have gone to syria to join isis or other militant groups. this idea that foreign fighters could go over there, get radicalized, get equipped, get trained and come back to their homeland. we ve got so much to talk about, i don t know where to start. i was going to actually talk to bill karins. for the first time i wanted to talk to bill and t.j. cut me off. but this hour we re going to talk to a gun range owner. i talked to a lot of gun range owners, a lot of gun experts and a lot of my friends who spent their life hunting in northwest florida and alabama and they all said the same thing. this is not about gun rights or anything, this is about a very bad decision by sadly you hate to say it by parents, very bad decision by the young man who tragically died and we feel so badly for him. and also for gun range owners, you just don t let we ve got a gun range owner here and i m going to ask whether she would allow a 9-year-old girl to fire an uzi. there is a time and place for everything. i did find talking to a lot of gun range owners and second amendment champions, they said this is the sort of stuff that hurts us. yes. they say, joe, we re on the same side on 90%, 95%. that 5%, things like this, hurt the cause of fighting for the second amendment. but the question is, should there even be an opening for something like this to happen? it shouldn t be allowed. not for a 9-year-old girl. no. should a grown man or woman be able to do it under the right regulated circumstances? be my guest. a 9-year-old girl, no. let s go back to bill karins for a second. bill, some extraordinary pictures. the first shot of the surfer, i was asking t.j. to do something he s not going to do, we ll probably get pictures of the oakland a s baseball game but some of the surfer shots are extraordinary. but you ve got hurricanes going up and down the coast. incredible surf. but i saw the hot across the middle of the country. the debate is always going on about global warming. we live in the northeast and it s been a really cold year and yet actually this has been a warmer year worldwide, hasn t it? look at that shot. that s the hardest part to grasp of the whole climate change debate. everyone associates with what they experience, that s how we pretty much do life. but a lot of other areas like the coldest spot almost in the entire globe throughout this last year has been areas of central, eastern canada all the way down through the great lakes and the northeast. they never really have had summer in parts of minnesota, have they? there are people that will state that with the climate warming, some areas will be cooler and that may be some areas of north america, so we ll find out in the decades ahead, obviously, but, you know, joe, you have to remember, september 10th is the peak of hurricane season. that s when we get to the pinnacle. so the first two weeks of september is when we get these huge storms. there s nothing brewing over the next week or two. and we never know what s going to happen. everybody sees what s right in front of their nose. we will be able to tell a decade or two. i remember a decade ago, you and i were working together, 2004, 2005, and i remember in 04 there were three hurricanes in rapid succession. we went jean, frances, charley. it was like a blur. it was like six weeks, three hurricanes in florida. and we were escaping our house every couple of weeks. there were all of these articles that were written saying this is global warming and this is the new era of hurricanes, so what did i do? i went out and bought a generator. it was a big investment. that was the best insurance for northwest florida never having a hurricane again because we haven t had another one in a decade. the last major hurricane to hit this country, wilma. we have to go all the way back ten years. so we just don t know. we do know, though, these pictures absolutely extraordinary. and you re right, just because it s cold in your neck of the woods doesn t mean that the globe is still not warming. apparently this year, another year where it s getting warmer, mika. thanks, bill. have a great weekend, man. let s get to our top news stories. he cut him off again. well, there is a delay. let s try this again. thank you. bill, i hope you, your wife and kids have a great weekend. thank you, t.j. mika, let s get to the news right now because we don t know what t.j. will do next. there s going to be streaming porn somewhere in one of these screens if we don t hurry up. i m going to try. a law enforcement official tells nbc news it appears a second american has been killed while fighting for the militant group isis in syria. his identity has not yet been revealed, but reports suggest he died in the same firefight as american douglas macarthur mccain who joined ranks with the terror group after crossing the border with turkey. by some counts up to 100 u.s. citizens are now fighting long side the islamic extremists. meanwhile the mother of another u.s. journalist being held hostage by isis is speaking out, shirley sotloff made a plea to the islamic state, the group that executed james foley. since steven s capture i ve learned a lot about islam. i ve learned that islam teaches that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actions of the u.s. government. he s an innocent journalist. i ve always learned that you can grant amnesty. i ask you to please release my child. you know, mika, it s probably not going to work. like mike said, they are dealing with absolute animals over there, but that mother s plea i think was strategically was a pretty smart plea. it s also basically daring him. do you really have the power? are you big enough, all powerful mighty, are you powerful enough to let him go? if they re smart, and they don t seem to be smart, they will let him go because i tell you what, hell is going to rain down from above for what they did to james foley. it just is. do that to another american and really your death warrant is signed. we can only pray they will make that equation. you know they re going too far. hopefully. we are following developments new from kiev where ukraine s president claims russian forces have entered a southeastern border town but stopped short of calling it an invasion. poroshenko is convening an emergency meeting of ukraine security and defense council to decide the government s next step. the russian defense ministry has yet to comment on these latest claims. a new poll shows mitt romney is still the clear favorite among republican voters in iowa for 2016. the usa today /suffolk university poll shows the 2012 republican nominee with 35% support from likely caucus voters. 10% undecided. 9% backing mike huckabee. without romney s name in the poll, the top choice is undecided with 17%. so keep that up, mike. you also don t see a lot of names you would have seen a year ago, people like ted cruz and other conservative stal watwart. i think it shows that main street republicanism coming more in vogue because a lot of rock solid conservatives are saying we have to win in 2016. well, that s look, given the demographics of this country, they have a minimal chance of winning the white house, republicans. women, hispanics. mitt romney gives them their best chance one would think from looking at the rest of this field. i think rand paul will move up, we ll see. i m watching him. there s a growing push to arm police officers with body cameras that give a more complete view of incidents like the one involving michael brown. senator claire mccaskill says if departments want federal funding, the video recorder should be added to their everyday equipment. denver police announced they have been wearing cameras for months. small cities are already using the technology as well. look at this video from celina, texas, showing a police officer seemingly taking down a suspect for no reason. it s cut and dry, right? this is the dash cam and it looks like the cop is being aggressive and just tackled this guy for no reason. when you look at his body camera, you can see the officer is attacked. it tells a completely different side of the story. the chief there says his officers know they re being documented at all times. this is an incredible example of why you can t judge just one report from an event, just one side of the story or just one angle from a camera. you just can t. one angle from a camera so often doesn t tell the story. it also doesn t talk about the stress cops are under all the time. as i said before, you put cameras on all cops, the only people it hurts are bad cops. it s a great benefit to the police because what happens and the public because what happens, you get those two camera angles, those two events occur, obviously the police officer didn t do anything wrong really. he was attacked. what you do is given the power of social media is you put both of those right up on social media to calm any potential public unrest. yes. it s transparency at its best. and we still don t know what happened with michael brown. if those cops had been wearing cameras, we would know by now. and you know what would have happened by now? the cop would have either been indicted and in jail or it would have been seen as justified. and a lot of this hell that we ve gone through in august and the suffering that the people in ferguson have gone through in august would have been avoided. put cameras on cops. the one thing we do see out of this is whoevers alleged suspect is, what the cop had in his hand, the flashlight. we don t see him ever draw his weapon. so we don t know what happened in the michael brown story. we don t know exactly when the cop drew his weapon. there is cell phone video that s been turned in, but that s what that video shows, that there was a different assumption made. but that suspect, he thought he was trying to take someone into custody that wasn t going to be violent. that person turned out to be violent. but the cop didn t draw a weapon initially. senator kirsten gillibrand is making the roubnds. her book is part biography and part call to action for the women s movement. people magazine details some of the most uncomfortable moments in the book. while in the congressional gym, the mother of two said an older male colleague told her, quote, good thing you re working out because you wouldn t want to get porky. i think, joe, you ve come up with the answer. cameras on congressmen. especially congressmen. congresswomen usually are okay. on another occasion after she lost 50 pounds, a member of the senate squeezed her stomach who seiqueezes stomachs? who does that? and saying this while squeezing her stomach. don t lose too much weight now. i like my girls chubby. what a line. what a guy. so in usa today, your favorite republican candidate of the year, jodi ernst. oh, the castration candidate. she s in a deadlock in iowa. i ve got to say these races this fall, it s going to be one of the most fascinating midterm elections in our life times, because, mike, you said before, first of all, who s going to vote. low turnout. really low turnout. but secondly, every one of these races in close. in states where republicans should be ahead by five, ten, still close. it is deadlocked. these are going to go down to the wire and determine the last two years of barack obama s presidency and his legacy is pretty darn amazing how close all these races are. which of the senate races that are all contested senate races that we once thought would go gop big, which one surprises you the most? i m shocked by arkansas. me too. we had tom cotton on here. we all said when tom left why don t you just go ahead and call him senator. that guy is like this. well, but tom was forced to take a lot of votes in the house of representatives that a lot of people in the house of representatives thought made him cool to their constituents, to their base. and now even in a conservative state like arkansas, tom is having to answer for some of those votes. and that one shocks me. i thought arkansas would be off the board by now. it s not even close. is it okay to say that i did my run yesterday in a joni ernst t-shirt with a castrated pig on it? they re good, they re really soft. she is amazing. rick perry rick perry, we need we all wanting the wanted t-shirts. somebody won t be grabbing that. coming up, the national outrage over the shooting involving the 9-year-old girl with an uzi. still ahead, the founder of chic and shoot, tina wilson-cohen joins us next. she has a gun range. we ll ask her if she d ever let this happen. plus a man suspected of insider trading makes a run for it. that s pretty darn good form. he lost his flip-flop. and things get weird when jimmy kimmel tries to get jennifer aniston to relive her days on the set of friends. i know, jimmy, i know it s my line but this is a really stupid line. it s dumb. this is really dumb. is it dumber than living in a huge apartment in new york city for eight years even though you work at a coffee shop? that s in hollyweird. you re watching morning joe. [ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you re pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that s alright. because we ll text you when your package is on the way. we re even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is.was. and always will be.you. our priority is.was. wouldn t it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters shopping online is as easy as it gets. and even piano tuners were just as simple?

reporter: to many it s a shocking sight. a child holding an automatic weapon. if anything happens, i ll be right there to grab the gun, okay? reporter: but to some it s responsible parenting. once you desensitize your kids and let them shoot enough, they re not going to be curious. reporter: jeremy is the ceo of tactical firearms in texas. keep going, keep going. reporter: he teaches his children how to shoot guns starting at age 5. people may criticize me but i guarantee if something happens, i feel comfortable that my son is going to be alive. reporter: his son, ian, just turned 10, and usually doesn t shoot fully automatic weapons. he did wednesday with his dad s close supervision. i think it s fun and it s more of learning stuff. reporter: in most states, children with legally fire fully automatic guns at shooting ranges if they re supervised. but that practice is being questioned after a 9-year-old girl accidentally killed an instructor at an arizona gun range. she was firing an uzi at a place called bullets and burgers. these submarine guns are designed for military purpose. children 9 years old shouldn t shoot them, even with supervision. reporter: 39-year-old charles baka was killed. we loved charlie. reporter: the gun range allows supervised kids as young as 8 years old to fire guns but plans to review its policy after talking with authorities. it s not a terrible big loss if we don t let any children shoot, because they re on1% of r business. reporter: states are responsible for regulating gun access. after a connecticut boy died in a similar incident, that state did limit access to machine guns for kids who are under 16 years old. mika. nbc s joe fryer. thank you very much. let s bring in former secret service agent and founder of chic and shoot, tina wilson-cohen. good to see you again. you actually have a business that encourages women to learn how to shoot guns but how to shoot guns responsibly we talked to a lot of gun owners yesterday and people that have grown up around firearms their entire life. they just look at this video and they can t believe it happened. talk about all the things that went wrong. exactly. good morning. good morning. first of all, yes, i was i was shocked when i read this. first of all, my condolences to the family of this tragic death that did not have to happen, but also my apologies, you know, for every sensible, responsible gun owner out there to the family of this young girl. i m just appalled that we have children that will actually be able to shoot these types of weapons. you just wonder not only i talked to a lot of grown men that use these weapons and they talk about how much of a kick there is and weapons for even grown men, i m sitting there wondering, and you hate to talk about this young man that passed away, it s a terrible tragedy. but everybody said why wasn t his hands on the gun? why wasn t he behind her? it seems like pilots tell me airplanes don t crash for one reason, they crash when ten or 11 things went wrong. i think this is exactly what happened yesterday or the day before. you know, i agree with you on that. i can go ahead and provide maybe a flight class or have my son or daughter take a flying lesson but that doesn t mean i would release an f-18 for them to go ahead and go out and fly. the same analogy can be used in firearms. i mean this was a powerful gun that of course is used out in the field with our military or law enforcement. why would i let a 9-year-old child shoot this type of gun. so then i think i m going to try and ask this question because i think i don t want it to sound judgmental, i really don t, but even the name of this place and serving burgers and kids shooting uzis, tina, i think the question i have for you, especially since the business that you run, is it selling a good time to teach people how to use military weapons? shouldn t it be packaged differently? i mean this is a serious thing that people are learning to do. i m not sure i m against that. i m not sure i m against women learning to shoot weapons and what you do. but i think i am against it being a fun, great time to videotape your kid shooting an uzi. is it funny? what is the attitude toward this? a better way to put it is, i m just saying from somebody that has a lot of friends in the gun culture it s not funny. tina, i ve heard one instructor after another instructor say the first thing we do is we try to teach younger americans to respect the power and the danger of the weapon, just like a lifeguard might say respect the power of the ocean. but it s not child s play. yeah, it s not a little tourist trap. i totally agree with you. we have lost, it seems like, in this country the sensibility and also the liability or the consequences, you know, that when we get into the firearms and dealing with guns. it seems like we are it s the way it s packaged now to come out and have a good time. right. and shoot this type of weaponry, you know, burgers, fries and whatever else it may be. but we ve kind of gotten away from the responsibility that we have as gun owners. you know, i have to make sure that not only am i being safe, but i m also providing a safe environment for other people in that vicinity, in that area. tina, can you provide any common sense answer to the following question. why would anyone teach a 9, a 10, 11 or even a 12-year-old how to shoot a gun, any gun? for any gun, i am a firm believer that, yes, if you re going to have a firearm in the home, i have seen where if you take a mature child, and only you as a parent know the maturity level of your child. if you take a child and you feel that he or she is mature enough, responsible enough and understands and grasps the responsibility, then i ve seen it on many levels many times that this is prudent, it s wise to go ahead and introduce firearms training to a child. but to go ahead and take this type of gun, though, and place it in the hands of a child that even i myself when i was an agent out in the field, i would have a difficult time as a 105-pound woman shooting this type of gun. they do tend to ride up. we re talking about a fully automatic gun. there s no reason why you would want to introduce this type of skill to a child. as i said yesterday, thomas, you know, in certainly northwest florida and certainly when i was young in mississippi, a lot of dads would take their sons out hunting with them when they were 6, 7, 8, but it was all about gun safety. it was almost like yes, son, this is what i do every weekend in the fall. come along with me and i m going to show you the right way had to it. those kids grow up as responsible gun owners that respect the power of the weapon that they hold. most definitely. tina, real quickly, are you disappointed that the nra has not come out with any type of statement about what happened in arizona? frankly, and this is just my opinion, i m very disappointed in the nra. not only not coming out and speaking against this but on many other levels. there are other organizations out there like the national shooting sports foundation that maybe let s hear what they have to say. but yeah, i am very disappointed. all right, tina, thank you so much. tina wilson-cohen. thank you. the nra may come out with a statement later on, we ll just wait and see. it is such a tragedy, and i tend to think the further i get away from this that this is not really as such of a gun rights issue as it is decisions made by parents, decisions made by gun range owners. i don t know how a gun range owner allows an 8-year-old girl, a 9-year-old girl, because you may have parents, if it s like burgers and bullets, that come in that don t know the power of these weapons themselves. and it s selling a good time? i mean let s the video of susie shooting an uzi? it s in the interest of protecting everyone s right to the second amendment and protecting everyone s legal right to own guns would come out with a common sense approach that says we need better policies around the country to not put an uzi in the hands of a child. an overwhelming majority of nra members out there and i certainly know a hell of a lot of them, they don t think you should put an uzi of an 8 or 9-year-old girl. 50 years in the making, bob dylan s basement tape sees the light of day. and the stars of the basement tapes? roddy robinson, the band. and by the way, unlike martin scorsese we put leon s name first. he was the band. we ll be right back. ups is a global company, but most of our employees live in the same communities that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we re using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliable, that s good for business. but they also reduce emissions, and that s good for everyone. it makes me feel very good about the future of our company. so what we re looking for is a way to plus our accounting firm s mobile plan. and minus our expenses. perfect timing. we re offering our best-ever pricing on mobile plans for business. run the numbers on that. well, unlimited talk and text, and ten gigs of data for the five of you would be. one-seventy-five a month. good calculating kyle. good job kyle. you just made partner. our best-ever pricing on mobile share value plans for business. now with a $100 bill credit for every business line you add. burger king is moving to canada and they think that it s a tax dodge. they think if they move to canada and they bought up the doughnut place, tim horton s, now the government is not happy about it. president obama is not happy about it. take a look at what happened when he heard that burger king was moving to canada. watch this. financed by billionaire warren buffett, burger king will purchase canadian doughnut chain tim horton s in order to avoid paying american taxes. upon hearing about the deal, president obama immediately took back buffet s medal of freedom. more news after this. that s very cold. you know, bob dylan s six-disk compilation basement tapes complete. the bootleg series, volume 11, will be released more than half a century after it was recorded. this collection was restored from original tapes recorded in 1967 during dylan s legendary sessions with the band that levon helm ran called the band of the during that time they recorded over 100 songs in a studio in new york. the album hits shelves november the 4th. mike, i was just telling the story about the band told the story how they would just be sitting in a room. dylan would come over, say i wrote another song. he d teach them to them, record the song. dylan would come in and say i just wrote another song. they d go in. it was an extraordinary time for bob dylan as an artist. what a band to have backing him up. levon helm was such an artist and such a good man. i heard he was such a great man. played up until a few weeks before he died up in saratoga not saratoga woodstock, new york. would perform concerts nearly every weekend up in his barn up there. they re still doing it up there, right? you know something, at 9:00 we re going to go to spotify. can you imagine being that talented. where you leave the room, write a song and then record a song. this next story from cnbc.com. an insider trader suspect making a run, doing it barefoot, after noticing camera crews in front of his place. he fled from his manhattan apartment after spotting cameras. he kept running even after his flip-flops flipped off. he was indicted on 13 charges of securities fraud and was accused of making nearly $540,000 in illegal profits. but yep, they got the close-up of the flip-flops. the wall street journal, the fbi and secret service are looking into whether russian hackers are behind recent attacks on jpmorgan chase and four other u.s. financial institutions. according to bloomberg news, officials are investigating whether the incident is possible retaliation for u.s. sanctions against russia. officials say the cyber attack resulted in the loss of sensitive data. just moments ago a jpmorgan spokesperson said the company is taking additional steps to safeguard sensitive information. and that brings us to cnbc s sara eisen. sara, take us behind the scenes of jpmorgan and this hacking scandal. there s a lot we still don t know about this hack attack. the biggest question that the authorities and fbi are going to figure out at this point, is it financially motivated? in other words, we are hearing from sources that some of the credit card and account information was stolen, but not clear whether they re doing anything about it or using it or any consumers are facing losses. was it that or simply to gather intelligence which would point more to the direction of the bloomberg report that it could be state controlled. no definite answers on this point so i don t want to overplay what the motivation or who the source was. hold on. sara, that s what we do here on morning joe. we overplay things, we generalize. we try rumors, speculation. that s it. you have just described like that s our show. that was a pitch for a show. we re just going to make a lot of stuff up. let me ask you something about this warren buffett, burger king/tim horton s deal. now it appears that it s going to go through but they re not going to escape to canada. what do we know about warren buffett s dealings in this and when did they make the decision that they weren t going to move to canada to evade taxes? here s the deal. they are moving corporate headquarters, the address domicile will move from miami to ontario. they say it s not tax driven, it s not motivated, it s because they are acquiring tim horton s which is the largest fast food chain and the bulk of their assets will be in canada. analysts will tell you no question about it down the road, even if not immediately, this will save burger king, tim horton s if the deal goes through on taxes. it is lower tax rates. so this is a classic inversion, right? it is a classic inversion. if they want to call it that or not, that s become a very dirty word in washington right now and comes with all sorts of political ramifications. what they re saying also in terms of the head quarter mixup thing is burger king s operational headquarters will remain in miami so they re saying that in a nod to the criticism that they re getting about taking the whopper and moving it up north. so they will be doing a corporate inversion. it is wrong i m trying to figure out am i going to boycott the whopper for the rest of my life or just east at crystal s or not? look, some members of congress will probably tell you to do that. the point is, though, they re saying they re going to pay all of their american taxes. warren buffett is going to pay his u.s. taxes as he helps finance this deal. and the fact is, this is legal. they re not doing anything wrong. sure, the president has called them corporate deserters and the treasury secretary has called it unpatriotic, but that is just what companies do. they have a responsibility to their shareholders and to their businesses and they re trying to run them smoothly, efficiently and grow them. exactly, sara. thanks so much. greatly appreciate it. you know sara is right, if you re a ceo, your job is to maximize profit. but if you re a member of congress and you re the president of the united states, your job is to protect american workers and make sure that burger king doesn t have all of us pay their taxes. washington needs to do something. a corporate inversion is a corporate inversion. baseball s bad boy from the 1990s gets a makeover. we ll explain it in hollyweird. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that s not a coincidence. it s one more part of our commitment to america. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. so get out there, and get the best price guaranteed. find it for less and we ll match it and give you $50 toward your next trip. expedia. find yours. no question about that. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment s right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any allergic reactions like rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial.

[ rooster crowing ] and it s a friday, and welcome to the program. and we start with a fox news alert you ll want to know about. u.s. air strikes have taken out three senior isis terrorists, including the top aide to isis leader abu al baghdadi. he was killed in the terrorist strong hold of mosul. wow, many speculating that the president got his news when the secretary of state, john kerry, passed this note to him during nato meetings in wales yesterday. that s right. and this morning there s a new target. the fbi now hunting this guy, a tech-savvy american from boston believed to be the mastermind behind isis s brutal social media blitz. elizabeth is live in washington. what more do we know about this guy? reporter: officials here reportedly zeroing in on this american. he s been on the run from americans for years. ahmed abu al samarra. he s suspected of being behind their social media blitz that they ve been so advanced at, including gruesome youtube videos and twitter propaganda posts. he grew up, graduated from college in boston, even making the dean s list in undergrad, reportedly traveling back to the middle east back in 2004 where he worked essentially on media outreach for al qaeda in iraq. this is the kind of person that law enforcement has been very concerned about. he s somebody who knows the english language, somebody who is obviously taken into the jihad crusade. he s going to use those skills, the language skills and social media skills that he probably developed here in the united states, to try and do what isis is doing. they re trying to recruit from within. reporter: well, there s still more evidence needed to confirm the suspicions. many experts say he has all the tools he needs to be an effective asset at spreading global terror. he speaks fluent english and arabic, so he s able to communicate these on social media forums and get this message out from isis to americans and other westerners, making him extremely dangerous. reporter: the 32-year-old is wanted on nine terrorism-related charges. he s been on the fbi s most wanted terror list since last year, and he s suspected to be in syria. elisabeth, steve, brian, back to you guys. all right, elizabeth prann with the latest. thank you very much. i ve actually got a family connection to this guy and his history. well, according to reports, he attended a catholic high school in westwood, where my husband, his brothers all attended high school as well. looking back to see if there are any records there, pictures, et cetera, of course. you know, he also went to northeastern. that s where he did make the dean s list in terms of college, in massachusetts where many companies, one that i worked for, was located. typical american college kid. yeah, you know what i mean? look, good grades. but isis understands the power of social media following something brutal like a beheading. so, it s almost equal importance of recruiting people of these skills is high on their list. keep in mind, khalid shaikh mohammed, another guy who understands america because he went to college here. he was the college clown. they nicknamed him brutto, but he understands what might intimidate and motivate america. meanwhile, it s hard to believe it s been this many years since president bush authorized the surge in iraq, and he did it against the grain. he did it when the american people were saying, i m tired of this war here, it s going on forever. how do we ever get on top of the insurgency? well, the president, as you know, accepted a plan that might have been written mostly by our own general jack keane, implemented by general petraeus. and it is amazing, as you listen to what he s about to say, how pressing he was in his prediction of what would have happened had he pulled out in 2007, and what he actually predicted when we pulled out in 2011. listen to president bush and then his chief speechwriter. i know some in washington would like us to start leaving iraq now, begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region and for the united states. it would mean surrendering the future of iraq to al qaeda. it d mean that we d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in iraq to replace the one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean increasing the probability that american troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. every single thing that president bush said there in that statement is happening today. obama did withdraw our troops before the commanders on the ground said we were ready. the general wanted to keep 24,000 troops in iraq. obama went to zero. president bush said if we did that, there would be mass killings on a horrific scale. what are we seeing? mass killings on a horrific scale, execution, women and children being buried alive, crucifixions, beheading of american journalists. president bush said if we withdrew before we were ready, al qaeda in iraq, which is now isis, would establish a safe haven. they now control a swath of territory the size of belgium. all of these predictions have come true. and of course, we are back there right now launching strikes. we are. you know, i know that barack obama was running for president where i m going to end the war and we re going to come home and americans wanted that. we were all war-weary at that point back in 2007. but the way he pulled out of iraq essentially is the reason we are where we are today. and so, it was such a visionary prediction or a cautionary warning that president bush made there from the podium in 2007. a lot of people are probably scratching their heads going, i wish we would have listened to him. yeah. now we re in a situation that when you heard that last line, it gave you a chill. i mean, a chill through your spine, that we d be facing a much more dangerous enemy now. yes. it s called isis, and here we are. and our administration can t even verbalize what isis really is, you know, can t even say this is war. when james rosen went and, you know, pressed the state department, asked jen psaki, remember, tuesday or wednesday wednesday. will you call this war? are we at war? direct question. simple, okay? following beheading of american journalists, two. she couldn t even respond. so, when james was speaking with bill o reilly on the factor wednesday, bill had this assessment fair. with all due respect, and you don t have to comment on this, that woman looks way out of her depth over there, just the way she delivers. it just doesn t look like she has the gravitas for that job. okay, so, he says she doesn t have the gravitas for the job. and you look at her resume, and she essentially was a spokesperson for a bunch of politicians. where s her, you know, her background in world affairs? she, according to what i ve seen, she doesn t really have one. nonetheless, yesterday, deputy spokesperson at the department of state, marie harf, said bill o reilly, he s talking about her colleague. he s clearly a sexist! listen. i think that when the anchor of a leading cable news show uses, quite frankly, sexist, personally offensive language that i actually don t think they would ever use about a man against the person that shares this podium with me, i think i have an obligation, and i think it s important to step up and say that s not okay. yeah, there s a lot of things you could say about bill o reilly, and he d welcome them. there s a lot of people that could insult him. you might be accurate. you could compliment him, you might be accurate. but in terms of being a sexist, i don t think you re watching the show. right. he s an equal opportunity complimenter and defender. here s an example of bill o reilly noticing a few things about josh earnest. josh earnest. okay, he looks to me to be befuddled. i mean, jay carney, you may not have liked him, but he looked like he understood the process. mr. earnest doesn t look like he has a lot of credibility. so, there you go. marie harf? bill o reilly does not like men. that was less than ten days ago that he said that, okay? august 26th. and if you think he s a sexist, how many women are there that he s in complete dialogue, debate with every single night, brilliant women that he is there discussing the top issues with. right. and you know, he s been quite fair across the board. but was that comment by marie harf? meanwhile, ten minutes after the hour. another fox news alert spans the world, the queen of comedy, joan rivers, dead here in new york city yesterday at the age of 81. her daughter, melissa, here making the heartbreaking decision to take her off life support, saying my mother s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. although that is difficult to do right now, i know her final wish would be that we would be returning to laughter soon. rivers went into cardiac arrest last week during a routine procedure, under investigation by new york health officials this morning. many remembering the comedy legend who broke down tv barriers for women. trace gallagher has more. reporter: the entertainment world is mourning the loss of a legend, comedian joan rivers passing away at a new york hospital at the age of 81. she cut her own swath through the world of show business. we won t see her likes again. she was an incredible lady. she never relied on the same old tired punch lines. she stayed relevant, she stayed raw, she stayed real and edgy in a way that was really remarkable. celebrities taking to social media to pay tribute to rivers. whoopi goldberg tweeting, my friend, joan rivers, has passed away. once again, to quote billy crystal, there are no words. bon voyage, joan. and a tweet from bette midler joan rivers has died. what a sad ending to a brilliant and tragic comic life. one of the bravest and funniest of all. fans placing flowers around rivers s star on the hollywood walk of fame. i think it s fair to say there was only one joan rivers and never will be another. says what she thinks and doesn t care what anyone else thinks. reporter: rivers crashed the male-dominated realm of late-night talk shows and is seen as a trailblazer for female comedians. to be as sharp-tongued as she was, and you know, to attack celebrities in some ways on stage. she s also a beloved figure and innovator as well. so, there are comics like sir silverman and kathy griffin who would not exist without the path that paved by joan rivers. reporter: rivers will also be remembered as a red carpet fashion critic and a familiar face on tv shopping channel quuquuvc, where she sold her own line of jewelry. trace gallagher, fox news. joan rivers a good friend of the show, spent a lot of appearances here, was funny every time. joan rivers s funeral is set for sunday in new york city. no word on whether it will be open to the public. rivers always said she wanted it to be a huge showbiz affair, just couldn t figure out if she was being sincere when she said that. she liked to plan. she would be happy, then, she made the cover of the new york times. a comic stiletto quick to skewer, even herself. one ballsy lady. she was born joan polenski and her agent said, you ve got to change your name. that agent s name? tony rivers. she goes, i like your name, i m joan rivers, like that. sharp she always was, and could make the funniest of funny laugh. that s right. all right, 13 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, you attack us, there will be no mercy. that was one marine s message to isis weeks ago. he s back now with a new one, and he hopes the president is listening. plus, take a look at this. it s the funniest prank you probably will see, but the people being pranked are not laughing one bit. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that s not a coincidence. it s one more part of our commitment to america. yourturn night into day.ng. conquer the globe. stop floods. now she could use a hand, so she can keep living on her own. comfort keepers can help you help her. our professional caregivers are carefully chosen and highly trained to provide a variety of in-home services while truly engaging with your aging loved ones so they can stay happy at home. comfort keepers. keeping the comforts of home. call comfort keepers now to learn more. we don t have a strategy yet. i think what i ve seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we re at than we currently are. wow. the president may not have a strategy yet for battling isis, but our next guest always has. in an open letter to the terror group that s taken the internet by storm, has gone viral, marine corps veteran nick powers laid out his plan for the terrorists, adding, if you really think you stand a chance on u.s. soil, do you really think it would be smart to poke the bear? you attack us and there will be no mercy. man, that s the tact a lot of us wish this administration would take. powers joined fox & friends last month to talk about that letter and now is back with a message not only for isis, but the american people as well. nick, your message resonated with a lot of people. what s your message now? i mean, my message now is the same thing. you know, it s more of an outcry to the american public. you know, the framers of the constitution wanted to create a more perfect union, you know, a government that serves its people and also shows itself as a long-lived example to nations around the world. that s a statement that s on the whitehouse.gov website. and with that statement being on the website of this current administration, who obviously is not living by that, not only are we not an example, we re an embarrassment to the world, but they haven t been serving us for years. i mean, look at the exponential amount of debt that they ve inrescued, you know. and we re paying for all these officials to live these lavish lifestyles that aren t doing what they were sworn to do. right. don t forget, nick, we are cutting one thing, and that s the military. that makes a lot of sense. but here s the vice president seems to take a page from your letter. he did this a couple of days ago. listen. when people harm americans, we don t retreat. we don t forget. we take care of those who are grieving. and when that s finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. yeah. the only problem with the vice president s statement is, the 1,000 guys that we have there are saying this after hearing that quote. how can we follow them into the gates of hell? how can we accomplish that goal when we can t even leave the front gate of our own base? yeah, and that s been an issue for years. you know, i said it before on a previous interview, the rules of engagement, they have to be modified. we can t fight a force that especially doesn t play by the rules by having rules of engagement that limit us to being a responsive force. we need to be proactive. you know, these roes actually give power to groups like this because they know they can exploit it and use it against us. right. and nick, it s up to your leaders and the officers to go to battle so you can win, just go out and win the battles you re asked to fight. nick powers, thanks so much. appreciate your point of view and we ll be talking to you as this campaign continues. thanks. all right, thank you. all right, straight ahead, debbie wasserman schultz called wisconsin s governor a wife abuser. scott walker has given women the back of his hand. well, this hour, the governor s right-hand woman here with a message for her. then, which democratic governor s apologizing for tweeting this steamy picture?

she had such attention to the small things, the detail, the lighting, my socks, the texture of my coat. she was always looking for something to make a joke about. always looking for something, and she did. no, but she gave me the thumbs up. and she loved the idea that i wore two hats here, i was also doing entertainment news and also vice president of marketing. and she was like, you know, can you make a phone call? joan and melissa just got canceled. i think it would be a great fit for the fox business network, can you make it happen? i was like, i ll try. it would have been great. there was a business aspect to it, yeah. she loved working hard. she loved giving up her days and being busy and observing everything. she did. even up to the end. people half her age couldn t keep up with her pace. she went to l.a. twice a week for fashion police. she had a show the night before and had a gig scheduled the night after the procedure that ultimately did her in. you were on with greta last night, as she spent her whole hour remembering. you ve got some of the 45 minutes that you sat down with her. i did. well, you know, we talked a little bit about political correctness and all that. and when comedy falls to become politically correct i ll get it out pc. pc. we might as well all pack it in. joan was determined to not let that happen on her watch. do you think we re too politically correct these days? i think we are so politically correct these days that it s probably ruining everything. why is comedy important? somebody said it wasn t me, i think it was winston churchill, every time you make someone laugh, you give them a little vacation. sure. it just changes your life! it makes a terrible moment happy. you ve been in both sides of the business. yes. you go into business meetings and everyone s so, vrrrr. i ll do a joke, everyone will relax. then we ll say, okay, guys, now what do we want to do here? and it just changes everything. anyone you regret making a joke about? no. no, but it s all i say you re lucky to have a joke made about you exactly. because if america doesn t know who you are, they re not going to get the joke. so, i only put down people that are very, very famous. yes. cher. and i said this before, but she s not my act, she ll call me. why aren t i in the act? if you re relevant, you re in the act. how has your life changed since the carson show? it s gotten so much edgier and you can say so much more. i think it s great. i love being able to be here at this time to say what i m saying. you guys, right up to the very end she was relevant for over 60 years. that s a huge feat in this business. before we sat down with her, we debated a little bit, should we do the interview? is she demo-friendly? well, excuse me, caa, who she just signed with, did a study, her average demo was 22.7 years old. are you kidding? fantastic. fantastic. joan rivers was here before us. she was actually, back when she was younger, she was a tour guide at rockefeller center. that s right. she wore many hats in her career. she sure did, and was happy to do so. yeah. all right, michael. thank you. all right, coming up on this friday here on fox & friends, forget isis. hillary clinton says the most urgent issue for our nation is climate change. we ve got the video. and from the front lines to fashion week. our military members are hitting the catwalk, but this is about more than just fashion. our own lea gabrielle explains. american woman, get away from me great. this is the last thing i need.) seriously? let s take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good ol midas touch. hey you know what? i ll drive! i really didn t think this through. brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling) smoking with chantix. as a police officer, i ve helped many people in the last 23 years. but i needed help in quitting smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. 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. don t take chantix if you ve 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 threatening. 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 non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. i was watching our friends over at cbs this morning we love those guys and it was one reporter s very first day on the job. everything went great. take a look. chris, we just have to say to you, we just heard during the break that this is your first day of work. welcome. what a story you have. [ laughter ] true. he just walked right up, thought he was done with the report and then walked back. did he want more money, or did he feel as though the deal he signed wasn t effective? i think since had t was his first day, he didn t know how it all worked out. i ve been there. i think i can find tape of me doing that. my first day doing a live tv show, i was a little nervous, as most people are. one of the camera guys was so kind to relax me by mooning me. yeah. that always works. and chris chulo still works here today. why didn t i get the moon on my first day here? moon over manhattan oh, here it is. that was very nice of you to do, joel. real quick, one of the things steve did on my first day so, i m doing sports and weather, then we used to sit in the green room and play jacks. so, i go, it was my first day here, so i go out, and we were set to do this thing where we have to take our microphone off, even though the guy told us he would kill our mike while we re in the restroom. my mike s in wisconsin. so, you basically say talk into my lapel. so, the whole time i did sports while you sat there and you were my sportscaster, my color guy. he was. whatever happened to you? i had your back coming up on 20 years. absolutely. now you both have my back every day. absolutely. never taken for granted. no one s taken elisabeth s mike off. i think she would sue us. i wouldn t. i wouldn t. meantime, heather childers is back with the headlines. you know what they say, it s better with friends. hashtag! yeah. we have this for your headlines. a pilot forced to turn his plane around on command from the fbi. the reason? a mother was trying to kidnap her child and escape to china. now, the united flight returned to dulles airport five hours after taking off. the mother was taken into custody. investigators not releasing a whole lot of details about the custody case, but they do say that the child is back with his father. well, forget isis. no, according to hillary clinton, climate change, alignment change is our biggest threat. this is the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face. sea levels are rising, ice caps are melting, storms, droughts and wildfires are wreaking havoc. clinton speaking at nevada s national clean energy summit. well, the governor of delaware getting tied up by his twitter account. governor jack markell meant to send out this tweet on his official account, showing him at an elementary school event. but this is the actual photo that was attached to the tweet. clearly, a woman in leather straps is not elementary school material. the tweet was quickly deleted and an apology was sent out. and it may not be halloween just yet, but one prankster thought that she would pull this out of his bag of tricks and give some folks the scare of a lifetime. look. did you see that climbing up side there? a massive eight-legged monster terrorizing people on the streets of poland. but okay, it s actually a dog dressed up in a spider costume. yeah, but that s pretty convincing! yeah, i think that would fake me out and i would run for the hills. what about you? in the dark like that? that would be scary. giant tarantula attacks. that will boost your raarak phobia, for sure. no spiders for you, maria. good morning. good morning to see you. hello, everybody. i want to look at the weather across the country, because we have a strong cold front pushing eastward, and this is going to produce showers and storms across parts of the midwest and also into the east as we head into the next few days. and today we do have the risk for more severe storms across parts of michigan, ohio, indiana and also into illinois. and if you live in new york city, come tomorrow, you could be seeing some severe storms as well from parts of new york city all the way up into portions of new england. large hail, damaging winds, and even isolated tornadoes are a concern. now, behind this storm system, it s already going to start to feel a little bit like fall for some of you across parts of the northern plains. you re in the 60s today in minneapolis and rapid city. and by the way, these areas by next week, middle of the week to late in the week, we re going to have another front move through, and that s going to be bringing in some even cooler conditions, so very chilly out there expected into late next week. otherwise, ahead of that front today, 90s in places like dallas and also memphis. factor in that humidity, and it feels a little bit hotter than what the thermometer says. now let s head back inside. it s still summer. it is. it is also fashion week here in new york city with the top designers, models and trend-setters coming together. but this year they re adding some american patriotism, as u.s. veterans take to the catwalk. we have a former navy fighter who we call our anchor. you were a pilot, so you loved this. it was a mix of your reporting background as well as walking the runway. those of us who wore the uniform were so proud of it and how we look in it, but sometimes it s nice to just feel pretty. i spent my 20s in combat boots, a flight suit and smelling most like jp-5 jet fuel. i of all people know when you look great, you feel great. and that s what salute the runway is all about. check it out. what is it like sitting here, new york city fashion week, getting ready to walk down the runway? it s pretty unreal. reporter: these women may not be your typical fashion models, but they re certainly role models. they ve all fought for our freedom in the united states military, and now they re opening up fashion week in the salute the runway fashion show. you re used to your hair being back or up. you re wearing combat boots. what s it like being pampered like this? this was amazing. when you re in the rank, everybody s the same dress. it s limited. so, now you re like, diva. reporter: the show was hosted by fatigues to fabulous, an organization that supports military women as they transition to civilian life. i was a helicopter pilot, you know. you have all this meaning and purpose, and you get out, and all of a sudden, you re like, well, just one day, it s over, and you re starting over. so, that s the transition that s the most, i think, difficult to overcome. reporter: the women are given top model treatment from the best in the business. hair, makeup, and head-to-toe styling by high-fashion designers like calvin klein and tommy hilfiger. giving us the opportunity to get out there, wear amazing clothes, look beautiful, feel beautiful, and all at the same time feel proud of our service. reporter: retired army captain leslie nicole smith lost her leg and her eyesight from a blood infection while deployed in bosnia. her service dog, isaac, will help her navigate the runway. when this happened, you know, i never thought actually i would even walk again. and so, i have to tell you, walking the runway tonight is so extra special to me. i mean, it s just overwhelming and it s so emotional and very empowering. fashion week isn t where you d expect to find women who fly airplanes, fire weapons and wear combat boots for a living, but that s about to change tonight as they take the runway. that s great. fatigues to fabulous also helps women who serve by providing job training, networking and research on health conditions faced by our returning veterans. you can donate to the organization and they could use your help. do that by downloading the cell phone app shout for good or by visiting foxandfriends.com. you saw them strutting the runway. they were showing pictures of them in their body armor next to their aircraft waving american flags, saluting as they stood on the runway. these are women who are proud of their service, and this really meant something to them. it was great. well, it was great that we sent you. you know something about the other kind of runway. sure do. i do. and just the bravery it took to see leslie strut down the runway in that prosthetic leg, wow. moving. yeah. moving. and you are fierce on both levels, by the way. thank you very much. lea gabrielle, thank you. all right, coming up straight ahead, debbie wasserman schultz called wisconsin s governor a wife abuser yesterday. scott walker has given women the back of his hand. well, the governor s right-hand woman here to respond next. and you want to know if you re getting the best deal at the store?

well, she called wisconsin governor scott walker a wife abuser, and now dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz is trying to backtrack. she said this i shouldn t have used the words that i used. that shouldn t detract from the broader point that i was making, that scott walker s policies have been bad for wisconsin women. hmm. but she never actually apologized for those comments that many say went too far. here they are. scott walker has given women the back of his hand, and there is no i know that is stalk, i know that is direct, but that is reality. what republican party tea party extremists like scott walker are doing is they re grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back. well, here to respond is the governor s right-hand woman, the lieutenant governor of wisconsin, rebecca clayfish joins us this morning. good morning, lieutenant governor. what was your initial reaction when you heard those comments? well, i was shocked! they re horrible, hideous remarks, where she belittles the victims of domestic violence in order to score cheap political points. and the fact is, mary burke, the woman for whom she was in wisconsin, is not even denouncing these things. you know, you heard the nonapology apology coming out of debbie wasserman schultz. where is mary burke on this? we as women of wisconsin are waiting for her to stand up for us and say i stand with the victims of domestic violence and i stand against debbie wasserman schultz s horrible remarks. and what did you think after hearing her apology, the statement that i began with? it s not an apology! an apology means saying you re sorry, and debbie wasserman schultz not only did not do that, but she s certainly not encouraging mary burke to come out and apologize or denounce her remarks, as she should. governor scott walker has a sterling record on women s issues. but on top of that, on helping victims of domestic violence. this last year alone, you take a look at the commitment he has made to wisconsin women ending human trafficking with a bill that he signed, cracking down on restraining order loopholes, and on top of that, spending about $15 million in order to further protect and expand services for victims of domestic violence. here is a governor who cares deeply about victims of domestic abuse. and apparently, mary burke won t stand with the women of wisconsin and denounce these remarks. well, the clock is ticking on those remarks, if they are yet to come. but you know, debbie wasserman schultz has been known to make comments which made some people s eyebrows raise. take a listen. you have the republicans who want to literally drag us all the way back to jim crow laws. people in too many of the republican members of represent is a threat of bigotry, which is appalling. what the republicans are doing is dangerous for israel. they re undermining israel s security. the republicans are engaged in their circular firing squad and embracing extremism and running far to the right as humanly possible. i mean, we re talking the head of the dnc here. what message overall does that send about the party? apparently, that they can t find a high-quality leader with a little bit of class and a little bit of a filter, because you can differ on poll siitics day long, but there used to be some sort of standard by which you had an eloquent political debate. there is nothing eloquent about the shameful remarks that come out of her mouth. and there is nothing eloquent about mary burke s remarks simply saying, you know, i guess i probably wouldn t have put it that way. we need a forceful denouncement of the statements made by debbi. debbie wasserman schultz came into wisconsin to support mary burke. mary burke needs to stand with the women of wisconsin and governor scott walker and support women who are victims of domestic violence and say, hey, listen, this is absolutely unacceptable, shameful, disgusting, to belittle victims and try and score votes. well, we thank you for those clear comments today, lieutenant governor of wisconsin, rebecca clayfish. we thank you for being with fox & friends. thank you very much. coming up, it s a fox news exclusive. the men who tried to save ambassador chris stevens going on the record about what really happened in benghazi. and you want to know if you re getting the best deal? just look right at the price tag in front of you. did you know there are numbers like this one right here that hold the clue to your cash? don t need your money, money, money we just wanna make the world dance i rebalanced my portfolio on my phone. you know what else i can do on my phone?

here to help us crack the retail code, kyle james, shopping guru and founder of the coupon web site, ratherbeshopping.com. thank you. when people hear this, it will change the way you shop. trust me on this. how did you figure out that there is a code right in plain daylight in every store that you have detailed? i originally saw a story on target and it was by looking at the not the dollars, but the cents, you can figure out if it s a full price, clearance price, might it get cheaper. i thought that was cool. i did the research. found some mom blogs where some employees posted some stuff. before i knew it, i had employees saying this is how we do it at kohl s and home depot, or crabbing information i had. and it was a cool resource and kept growing. let s start with target. this is an actual price tag you would see in the store. what do you see right there? so that s a clearance tag. in the upper right-hand corner you ll see number, 1530, 50, 75, or 90, that s the percentage off the original price. that s cool. you can kind of tell it s already half price. but the neat thing is the target employee held me every ten to 14 days, they will make that down if it doesn t sell. a lot of things end in 99. but that ends in 98. so you also, if it ends in a 9, ends in an 8, they tell a different story. so they don t sell that in ten to 14 days, it will go to 75% off. so if it ends in a 9, that s full price. if it ends in an 8, it indicates clearance items. that s when you want to look in the upper right-hand corner. let s go to costco and this is an image of a regular price tag that you would see in a costco. there it is right there. let s pay attention. folks, see that star up in the upper right-hand corner? what does that tell you? that tells you it s a clearance price. more than that, you see the 97. that tells you it s a discounted price. so most things at costco end in a 99. full price. if you see 7, that means it s clearance. or discounted price. let s go to home depot. you want to look for the yellow tags, which are clearance tags. you want to look then if it ends in 06 or 03. if it s 06, there is six weeks until the next mark down. if they dent sell it, it will get marked down to 03. that s the best deal. let s go buy office supplies to office depot. you want to look for 01 is the first mark down. if they don t sell it, it will go to 02. it s great back to school. they have a lot of clearance stuff they re trying to get rid it. look for stuff that ends in 02 or 03. the holy grail is 04, the final markdown. and i understand you ve reached out to some stores and said is this what do you?

more from this stunning interview. and after years of hard work and very little pay, a washington, d.c. congressional staffer finally snaps, saying [ bleep ]. the epic resignation for the parts we can show on television. mornings are better with friends you re watching fox & friends. it s a fabulous show. thank you very much, elizabeth hurley and elisabeth hasselbeck and brian kilmeade. if you re just waking up now, we have a lot of news to report. we do. we ve got a fox news alert. top of this hour. u.s. air strikes taken out three senior isis terrorists, including the top aide to isis leader abu ba car al bagdadi. he was killed in the terrorist stronghold of mosul. there was a lot of speculation that he died yesterday. other speculation that the president got the news when secretary of state john kerry passed him this note during yesterday s nato meeting in wales. this morning there is a new target. the f.b.i. are now hunting for this guy you see here, a tech savvy american from boston believed to be the mastermind behind isis brutal social media blitz. elizabeth prann joins us live from washington. good morning to you. what more do we know about this guy? reporter: we know the f.b.i. is heating up its search for him. officials in the u.s. are using media and hopes to track down this so-called media expert by publishing this picture of amad and playing this recording of his distinct voice tone hoping someone will come forward with information. if they don t have a warrant, they don t have a right to do that. make sure you tell your mother that next time, cause they might scare her. you know what i m saying? he was suspected of being an architect hyped the internet and social media blitz. the group has become so advanced at that includes the gruesome youtube videos and twitter propaganda post. he grew up outside boston, the same city where he went to college before reportedly traveling back to the middle east back in 2004 where he worked on media outreach for al-qaeda in iraq. while many say there is still more evidence needed to confirm the suspicions, some experts say he has all the tools that he would need to be an effective asset at inflicting global terror. sometimes the pen is more powerful than the sword and i think that s exactly what they re using. it seems like they might be using this individual for. reporter: officials say he may be in syria. the 32-year-old is already wanted on nine terrorism-related charges. back to you guys. all right. elizabeth prann in dc, we thank you very much. speaking of terrorism, everybody is looking toward next week. it will be the anniversary of september 11. what s interesting now is you know those 37,000 kids who streamed across our southern border over the last year or so? where did they go? federal government isn t telling us that. all dino for sure is that our southern border is wide open and now there is a report from judicial watch that apparently isis is working in the border town across the river from el paso, juarez. there is a lot of chatter. radio chatter and other things, indicating that isis is going to carry out an attack on the border very, very soon. could be car bombs. could be vehicle borne bombs. don t know. there is just a lot of talk about how isis is across the river and could come over at any time. and maybe targeting fort bliss. so they re on alert and changed some of their security tactics reportedly just in case that would happen. also rick perry brought that up yesterday in a speech and says we have no clear evidence, but your common sense tells you when we see the number of criminal activities that occurred, rapes, assaults, murders, by individuals who have come in illegally over the last five years, it would not surprise him what i will share with you that we ve seen historic high levels of individuals from countries with terrorist ties over the course of the last month, the obvious great concern that because of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across, that individuals from isis or other terrorist states could be and i think is a very real possibility that they may have already used that. the pieces of the puzzle seem to indicate that. senior military official spoke with judicial watch this week and actually revealed that they only raised the security alert when clear and present threats are present. so this isn t anything to be taken lightly. they re making these adjustments because they do feel as though something may indeed happen indicated by evidence on the ground. sure. rick perry said in that sound bite, he said isis could be. now according to judicial watch, isis is in the mexican border town of ciudad juarez and they want to do something. remember when january net napolitano said the border was secure? right? yeah. i think harry reid said that. yeah, he confirmed it as well. it s secure. let s hope he s right. meanwhile, six minutes after the top of the hour. we ve got another fox news alert fans around the world mourning joan river, dead at the age of 81. her daughter melissa make the heart breaking decision to take her off life support, saying this: my mother s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. although that is difficult to do right now, i know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon. rivers went into cardiac arrest last week during a procedure. that clinic under investigation by officials. this morning many remembering the trail blazer who stayed in the spotlight for 60 years after smashing through the industry s glass ceiling. she got her first big break in 1965 on the tonight show with johnny carson. welcome please, joan rivers. carson became a mentor to rivers and eventually she became his permanent guest host. i love to shop, so when christmas is over action i am going out because i m a shopaholic. i m going to betty ford center for shopaholics. rough regime there. they take new a room and they sit you down and they show you pictures of queen elizabeth all dressed up. you ll never shop again. well. she left to host her own show. you just saw her competing on fox and if cost her friendship with carson. she is perhaps best known for her presence on the red carpet. rivers brought her take no prisoners judgment of celebrity fashion to e in 2002 on the series fashion police. joan rivers was 81 years old. and some people are wondering what exactly happened. we don t know. we just know she went in for a relatively minor procedure, a routine procedure. she was going to go on tour all over the country and she was having a procedure where a camera goes down her throat for policy lips, relatively simple procedure. but during it, she underwent cardiac arrest and now they re just trying to figure out what s going on. that s right. our hearts go out to melissa, obviously and her entire family. they were all so close. we re with you. heather childers is also with us and she s going to tell us what else is happening. she even had an event planned the very next night after the procedure. we have a fox news alert. live pictures coming in now from omaha, nebraska. just moments ago, we received word that the third american infected with the deadly ebola virus landed on american soil. he is headed to the nebraska medical center for treatment. dr. rick sacra got sick while treating pregnant women in liberia. in a few hours, family and friends will say a final farewell to murdered journalist steven sotloff. a public memorial is being held this afternoon at temple beth am in pine crest, florida. he attended elementary school there. 1,000 people are expected to attend. in prosecutor dice or paradise about to be lost?

i said hey, we re ready to go. bob looks right through me and looks at the team and goes you need to wait. bob was the c.i.a. s base chief in benghazi. he s on the phone talking to somebody. i assumed they were trying to coordinate us to link up with 17 february. which is the local militia. probably been 15 minutes, i think. and i got out of the car. the team leader was standing on the front porch. i said hey, we need to get over there. we re losing the initiative, you know. and bob just looked straight at me and said stand down. you need to wait. started to get calls from the state department guy saying hey, we re taking fire. we need you guys here. we need help. after being repeatedly told to wait, the security team says they defied orders and headed to the besieged consulate on their own. they asked repeatedly for armed air support, which never came. looking back, the team believes that if they hadn t been delayed for nearly a half hour, things might have turned out differently. i gave you that 30 minutes back, would ambassador and sean smith be alive today? yes. they would still be alive. my gut says so. new on that? i d strongly believe if we would have left immediately, they d still be alive today. this is all part of a new book coming out soon called 13 hours. you can watch the full one hour interview tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern time. bret baier anchors from washington. yeah. three years there. pseudo names. but there you might be getting the most accurate story to date?

(announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. that s why we ve built powerful technology to alert you to your next opportunity. because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. i quit smoking with chantix. before chantix, i tried to quit. probably about five times. it was different than the other times i tried to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it s a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking. 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. don t take chantix if you ve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. 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. my quit date was my son s birthday. and that was my gift for him and me. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. day after day we have shown you these faces, all of them americans who turn their backs on their country, many of them willing to die for the cause, fighting for isis overseas. it s even more disturbing is that they re not alone. reports suggest up to 100 more americans are waging jihad in the middle east and could return home here to strike. eric is a terror analyst who knows exactly where they are gathering and where their next move may be. eric, we want to thank you for joining us today. serious information right here obviously. we want to talk about the top five hot beds for terrorism and why individuals are there. we re going to start with chicago. yeah. just last week, speak of the devil, in chicago we had a man waving an isis flag outside of his car window and he led police on a high-speed chase. that s just last week. but the network in chicago goes back much further. in recent years, we know that isis talking about the caliphate and establishing an islamic state in the middle east. well, we ve had pro-caliphate conferences held in the chicago area over the past few years by a group called hiz but. we have a long running hamas support network in chicago. a hamas operative was arrested and convicted there and remember, number one, chicago has a large muslim immigrant population. number two, the seers tower is a sears tower is a major target. on twitter, isis made a threat against chicago. wow. we re going to move to virginia here. obviously proximity playing a major role. yeah. a few minutes from where i m sitting now, in northern virginia, in the shadow of the white house, a major al-qaeda-linked cell wassed here. 11 men. number two, we had radical mosques in this area. yes, just a few minutes from the white house on war al al-awlaki, you may remember him, the al-qaeda preacher who was killed in a u.s. drone strike in 2011. he was the imam at a major mosque right here in northern virginia. again, large muslim immigrant population here. and again, washington, d.c., obviously major terror target. dearborn, michigan, number three. very unflattering nickname. other than new york city, dearborn has the top number of people on the terrorist watch list. remember, this is a small city outside of detroit. only 96,000 people in this city. the worry in dearborn is not that people so much are going to go overseas to join isis, but that people from that area may go overseas to join hezbollah. there is a big hezbollah support network there. dearborn is heavily shiite. hezbollah is a shiite terror organization. we ve seen people in dearborn area convicted for financing and supporting hezbollah. sure. new york city, that won t surprise many people. but a city that did is minneapolis. what can you tell us about this? minneapolis, look, in the midwest, the twin city, the frozen tundra, look, minneapolis, number one. there is at least, by some accounts, a dozen folks from minneapolis who traveled to syria and iraq to join up with isis. but a big thing here is the large somali muslim migrant population in minneapolis. chilly minneapolis has the largest somali population in the united states and dozens, since 2008, dozens of somali immigrants have traveled to somalia to join al-qaeda linked groups and now traveling to syria to join isis. major problem. wow. eric, terror expert here, we want to thank you for the analysis and mapping out the hotbeds across the u.s. good to see you. thank you. snubbed again. another mistake at the v.a. costing our veterans millions. that s next. and one author telling americans to stop watching football, saying it fosters tolerance for violence and other things. do you agree?

well, because in a lot of ways, my own experience. football taught me lot. i was in a pretty bad way when i was in high school. my family was in bad shape, my sister just died. we were having a lot of trouble. and i was pretty aimless. i managed to get myself out for the team and worked pretty hard and changed my body and my mindset a little bit. i guess kids can develop courage and they can develop loyalty and they can develop character through playing football. and i d hate to see those things lost. i d like to see the game a lot safer. your dad wasn t a hands on parents. so-called helicopter parents you see in sports. but he did like football and he did say to you, you go play. let me see your helmet first. so he cared about safety. so that was a way for to you connect with your dad, right? it was, yeah. we spent a lot of sunday afternoons watching jim brown and his two favorite players. he told me a lot about what he valued. he valued that he started out with not a whole lot of ability, that i was familiar with. he built himself up a brick at a time and became a star. and jim brown was a man god. hearing a guy in the 1950s massachusetts talk about an african-american that way with plain good respect, that was something i didn t hear all that much. it was great to hear. you say do you have reservation. yeah, you learn aggression and courage, but you have to learn to leave it on the field. correct? yeah. that s a hard thing. they talk about this quality called timosis, desiring to be in first place. it s really good to get access to that quality and that spiritedness and energy. but then i think you got to learn how to control it. that s where the coaches coachee parents come in. they have to be careful because they ve unleashed kind of a beast. that beast will be put to good use or put to destructive use. one thing i really like about your book, it s easy to look at mike strahan and say football helped you, no kidding. but if you look at a professor at virginia and say football helped me, then people are intrigued because we can relate more to you than we can like this hall of famer who works down the street. well, there you go. i think i kind of have the every guy s relationship to football. i m still friends with a lot of my teammates. we sit there and we talk about the games we won and the ones we lost and also about the game and how it s good to be friends with them still. as you use a quote from tim green, former falcon, he said life is about getting knocked down and getting back up. that s with football teaches you. those are the types of things you pick up in your book that is now out why football matters. thanks so much. now to your students over at virginia. thank you so much. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. she called wisconsin governor scott walker a wife beater. up next, the governor s right hand woman responds and your e-mails pouring in. and after years of hard work and a little pay, congressional staffer finally snaps. the epic resignation, or at least the parts we can show and let you listen to on tv. [ male announcer ] behind every centrum multivitamin are over one million hours of research. inside are specific vitamins and minerals to help support your heart, brain and eyes. centrum silver. for the most amazing parts of you. some big tv news. abc just announced rosy perez will join rosie o donnell and whoopie goldberg as the new co-host of the view. which plays into the new sponsor, bohs noise canceling head phones. he s funny. what do you think about that? i got my head phones a long time ago. i wish them well. i just talked to whoopie. how did that go? well, she s good friend. it s very interesting because they re going to put these five together on the air, going to try to get chemistry. do they even know each other? i don t know. a couple worked together, i think. somebody who should probably have when you watch this, you ll probably wish that you had noise canceling head phones from bohs. here is dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz. she was trying to blast governor scott walker and she did so by essentially calling him a wife beater. here she is. scott walker has given women the back of his hand and there is no i know that is stark. i know that is direct. but that is reality. what republican tea party extremists like scott walker are doing is they re grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back and it s unacceptable and it s not going to happen on our watch. the outrage was immediate and she has since walked it back. tried to, at least. i shouldn t have used the words that i used, she said. that shouldn t detract from the broader point that s making that scott walker s policies have been bad for wisconsin women. in there somewhere, supposedly was an apology. but the governor s right hand woman, rebecca kleefisch was with us earlier and she said that s no apology. take a listen. this is absolutely unacceptable. shameful, disgusting, to belittle victims and try and score votes. governor scott walker has a sterling record on women s issues, but on top of that, on helping victims of domestic violence. you can differ on politics all day long. but there used to be some sort of standard by which you had an eloquent political debate. there is nothing eloquent about the shameful remarks that come out of her mouth. and there are plenty of them. we asked you what you thought. we got an e-mail from kay. kay says this: scott walker has been a great governor. debbie wasserman schultz showed her true colors by having her outrageous comments. the women of america should take note of that. larry said, i believe her time is ahead of the dnc, soon to be over. even they must be getting tired of apologizing for her stupid remarks. remember, she the official face of the democratic party. tough but she did say i shouldn t say this, but. she actually walked herself back and then said it anyway. she must have given some thought to the original comments. i think everyone deserves the ability to apologize and be forgiven, but to undermine domestic violence when it occurs, her apology should have been more direct and more broad, according to many of the e-mails we are getting. and the lieutenant governor herself. keep the e-mail coming. in the meantime, it is a news channel. we need the news and that s why heather childers is standing right there in the red dress. we have an update on a story. a dad going on trial for murder in the death of his son in a sweltering hot car. 22-months-old, his son, justin harris is the dad, he s accused of intentionally leaving little cooper inside a sweltering suv for seven hours while he sat in his office texting nude pictures to several minimum, including a teen-ager. prosecutors say that harris researched on line about how long it takes to die in a hot car and was desperately seek ago child-free lifestyle. he could face the death penalty. talk about a real shirt storm. a group of new york city teachers showing their support for the nypd by wearing these shirts on the first day of school. this is great. this despite warnings from their union, warning them of possible consequences. the union sent an e-mail to teachers that said, quote, public employees must remain objective at all times. this from the same union that backed an anti-cop rally and busted teachers or bussed teachers to a protest led by al sharpton. a school banning unsupervised cartwheels and hand stands. that is right. students at an elementary school in australia are not allowed to flip unless they re supervised by a trained gym teacher. the principal made the call after some students were hurt doing cheerleader-type stunts. maybe not a cartwheel on a slip and slide. a fed up capitol hill staffer going out with a bang after 20 years on the hill. the dc worker wrote a biting expletive filled resignation letter to her colleagues. he takes unnamed politicians to task, calling them crazy, stupid, whole lot worse. the letter ends by saying this, after nearly two decades of unpaid and underpaid work, dealing with angry phone calls and always being on call like a sleep-deprived florence nightingale, i got tired of hearing you re not dedicated enough. and they had it after 20 years. that s a look at your headlines. people are trying to figure out who that is and what congressman they work for. they ll probably figure out. thank you. we got to worry about 9-11 attacks here at home. we re following the latest on isis. but that s not all that s happening around the world. 22 before the top of the hour, a fox news alert. moments ago, the third american infected with the deadly ebola virus has arrived at a hospital in nebraska. john roberts joins us live from omaha and that hospital. good morning to you. reporter: steve, good morning to you. just a couple of minutes ago, we watched the ambulance go by, 51-year-old doctor arrived from monrovia, liberia, where he was infected with the ebola disease. he will go into the biocontainment unit here at the nebraska medical center. this is a special ten-bed unit, the largest one in the country. was built in 2005 after the sars epidemic. doctors said they were consulting with the people at emory university who took care of dr. brantley and nurse writebol to get tips how to take care of this patient. there was questions to why the patient was brought here to nebraska as opposed to emory university. the government apparently wanted to make sure that all of these biocontainment facilities were up and running, wanted to make sure that everybody was up to speed on treating patients. here is the interesting thing about dr. sacra. he has been working at the same hospital in monrovia, liberia where ebola patients have been brought, but he was not working in the ebola ward. he is an obstetrician. so sim-usa, the medical mission for whom he works, figures the best guess and it s only a guess at this point for how he got infected is a patient came in infected with ebola, but was not showing any symptoms at all and that s how he was infected with the virus. his wife yesterday gave a press conference in boston in which she said that his health condition seems to be pretty good. but he was not afraid to be with the lord if that s what his calling was. but instead, at the moment he is here at the nebraska medical center for top line treatment. he is indeed. all right. john roberts with the guy with ebola out there in omaha. thank you. all right. coming up, as we remember comedic legend joan rivers, the clinic where she stopped breathing during routine surgery, a procedure here in new york city, under investigation. what we know coming up next with peter johnson, jr. and the first lady s healthy lunches are proving too much to swallow. we have the story you

a mother was trying to kidnap her child and escape to china. the united flight returned to the dulles airport five hours after taking off. the mother was taken into custody. and some lucky passengers getting the view of a lifetime. a pilot taking a detour over an erupting volcano in iceland. passengers were able to snap incredible photos like these. i wonder if there are any selfies there, steve. thanks. we ve got a fox news alert. the new york state department of health now launching an investigation into the clinic that treated comedienne joan rivers just days before she slipped into a coma and died yesterday. rivers remembered for a career that spanned across five decades and several con meants. she even appeared right here as one of our friends. i met somebody on 48th street. he s homeless and it s work out great. what? every night he says to me, your doorway to mine. fantastic. oh, man. the question now, did something go wrong at the clinic? peter johnson, jr. has handled these types of cases in the past and he joins us now to explain. condolences to the family, too. absolutely. so we re starting with an investigation. the new york state department of health has launched an investigation. they say it s a routine investigation based upon the clinic identifying an outcome that went wrong. obviously joan rivers was brought in cardiac arrest to mount sinai medical center in new york after undergoing some kind of procedure. meaning a tube or some kind of device was put down her throat. perhaps a vocal cord procedure according to some reports. obviously something went wrong. either as a result of anesthesia or something called aspiration, when someone will disgorge the content of their stomach during a procedure. we don t know what s going on. so the department of health is looking into it. there is another body called the office of professional misconduct that would also look into a physician s conduct if it was warranted. you know what? a couple of people have said to me, why wasn t she in the hospital having something like this done? isn t this a procedure that generally hospitals don t do? you do have it done in clinics? that s an important question. almost half now procedures in this country are done in outpatient ambulatory facilities. we need to understand in new york and other states across the country, the same stricture, the same regulations do not apply to outpatient ambulatory facilities that they do to hospitals. very often there is nothing called accreditation. there is something called the joint commission on accreditation that every three years goes to hospitals and checks them out. these types of facilities, this one open just in the last couple of years, not subject to that kind of stricture. so the issue is investigation in terms of discipline. the secretary thing people are asking about, is there a potential malpractice case? of course. means wagon there a meaning was there a departure from the standard of care in the medical community of new york? did they do something that they shouldn t have done? the question you asked, should this procedure, based upon any preexisting medical condition she had, pulmonary problem, cardiac problems, diabetes, any kind of issue, should it have been done in a hospital setting where there were more crash carts, where there was more of an ability to resuscitate? by definition f something goes wrong in an outfaith-based initiative an outpatient facility. they must call 911. do you delay time? absolutely. one of the things i heard people say is at this point, they didn t know how long her brain went without oxygen, which suggests wasn t somebody watching that? absolutely. someone should have been watching it. either a board certified anesthesiologist, that s the physician. or a nurse practitioner anesthesiologist, a nurse who is trained to be an anesthesiologist, keeping something on her finger to measure the oxygen in her blood. were they monitoring that? her heart rate. yeah. it s tragic news. she died at the age of 81 and she was on this program a lot and you even sat down with her. i absolutely had a great opportunity to interview her here with brian and i went to see her show in vegas and she was so very nice to me. so we end on a very positive happy memory of fox & friends and joan rivers. want to give 12,000 people in that room. 1200 people. you have to make room for the walkers. joan rivers, died at the age of 81 and that s the way she would want it. she would want to leave us laughing. funny lady. indeed. thank you very much. okay. coming up, healthy lunches are proving too much to swallow. some kids are tossing them because they just don t taste good. how much money are we wasting? we compiled the numbers and you will see them next. first on this date in 2000, doesn t really matter by janet jackson number one song all across america. everybody s excited about the back to school savings at staples. from the customers, to the staples associates. with guaranteed low prices on mechanical pencils. you ll flip out! now go tell your friends. staples, make more happen for less. doctors have been prescribingdecade, nexium to patients just like you. for many, prescription nexium helps heal acid-related erosions in the lining of the esophagus. there is risk of bone fracture and low magnesium levels. side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. if you have persistent diarrhea, contact your doctor right away. other serious stomach conditions may exist. avoid if you take clopidogrel. nexium 40 mg is only available by prescription. talk to your doctor. for free home delivery, enroll in nexium direct today. oh, he fakes a handoff quaand he s making a run... for mattress discounters fall kickoff sale! right now, save up to $300 on sealy posturepedic and serta mattress sets. even get 24 months interest-free financing on every tempur-pedic. you re going to love their football field-size selection. this calls for a little touchdown dance. don t miss the fall kickoff sale at mattress discounters. mattress discounters two more schools in new york have dropped the school lunch program. they re dropping out of michelle obama s lunch program. it turns out the food isn t so popular with students. not at all. not only do they refuse to eat it, it s costing schools even more money when they throw it away. joinings now is the president of the school nutrition association. these findings are shocking. we re glad you re with us cause you understand the numbers behind what the kids should be munching on at lunch and breakfast. 81% more food is thrown away with this program. 60% more cost from whole grain that s been instituted there. and 80% 87% think breakfast will add a cost in 2014 and 15. when you see these numbers what, does that mean? where is the money coming from if refuse is down from these lunch sales? the school meal programs are very dependentent on the federal reimbursement and paid students cash. with increased cost is becoming increasingly difficult for districts to remain fiscally solvent. when the school meal program doesn t make money or loses money, then the school district has to pick up the tab. yeah. and kids are saying, i d rather just bring lunch from home or not eat at all. that s what they do in my high school. here are the recommendations. 15% of grains should be whole grain. there is nothing wrong with that. that s 100% nutritionally correct. maintain sodium levels and don t require a fruit or vegetable. and they want to loosen a la cart requirements. so these are the requests. what would the requests do to the bottom line? so first of all, the school nutrition association has supported strong standards for school meals for a long time. some of the new requirements go too far. and whole grain rich would allow school districts to occasionally offer white tortilla or white rice, products that students are more familiar with at home. many districts are struggling with acceptability of whole grain versions of popular products in their region like biscuits and grits in the south, tortillas in the southwest, and bagels in the northeast. so a little bit of flexibility would enable school food service directors to plan menus that are acceptable to students, and will give them time to identify products that are acceptable to their students and available in the markets where they operate. an apple isn t healthy if it s thrown away, or something that s mandated, isn t so healthy if the kids aren t eating it. we re learning the money that they re not going to get is going to come from the educational fund. this these suggestions will make a difference, you say? yes, they will. regarding the requirement for the fruit or vegetable, we support the expanded variety of fruits and vegetables that we offer and we also support larger serving sizes. but we don t want kids to have to take an item if they don t intend to eat it. one cornell researcher has estimated that it has increased waste 100% and there is over $680 million worth of fresh produce going into the trash each year. and people should keep their egos out of it and do what s work and hopefully they ll be open to your suggestions. you certainly carry a lot of weight. hopefully you ll be listened to. thanks so much. thank you for having me. straight ahead, an international manhunt is underway for this man. he s using his american education at one of the nation s top schools to wage jihad against the united states. are there more like him? geraldo rivera here live. forget isis. hillary clinton says the most urgent issue for our nation is climate change. we re going to play the tape. the kids went to take zznana s house. like. for the whole weekend! zzzquil, the non-habit forming sleep aid, that helps you sleep easily, and wake refreshed. because sleep is a beautiful thing. good morning. it is friday, september 5, 2014. a fox news alert, meet one of america s most wanted. the son of an american doctor raised in boston, educated at one of our top schools. now he s working for isis and leading the terror army social media campaign. what we are learning about him this morning. and what s it like to be face-to-face with a shark? ma am, where is the shark? i don t know. he bumped me out of my boat. more from that 911 call made from a kayak. and it s the funniest prank we have seen all day. (scream) these people are not laughing about the surprise. i think many of them nursing wounds and injuries right now. according to every stat, mornings are better with friends. what is happening to our show? that was willie robertson hyped us. he s right over there. that is so unprofessional. duck dynasty first episode of the season will be in scotland. also his daughter is a big star with tap shoes on. we got a lot to talk to him about. there is a lot going on. he s also got another job. yeah. another occupation. unbelievable how productive he is. what is this? it s a tease. hello. geraldo rivera is going to weigh in on the news of the day and willie is coming up in about a half hour. in the meantime, we start this hour with the headlines and heather. yes. we have a serious story to talk about. the ebola case, fox news alert for you this morning. new video just coming in showing the third american infected with the deadly ebola virus arriving in an ambulance at a nebraska hospital. dr. rick sacra got sick while treating pregnant women in liberia. health officials are confident patients, doctors doctors and sl be protected during his treatments. and a dad going on trial for the murder of for the death of his son in a sweltering hot car. his 22-month-old son. he s accused of intentionally leaving him in an suv for seven hours while he sat in his office texting nude pictures to several women, including a teen-ager. prosecutors say that harris researched on line about how long it takes to die in a hot car and he was desperately seek a child-free lifestyle. is paradise about to be lost? a major disaster unfolding on hawaii s big island at this hour. look at that lava. it s inching within just one mile of homes there. there is new fear this morning that it could reach them in just five days. the lava has been flowing about 800 feet per day since july. and finally, president obama getting the royal treatment in the u.k. while attending the nato sum in wales. president obama had time to pal around with prince charles. president obama saying this, quote, having a great time in the country that every american should visit. acts like he doesn t have a care in the world there. so the president living it up with prince charlesnd geraldo rivera, you ve never lived it up with prince charles. never houston out with prince charles. he doesn t seem like a party guy. maybe i m wrong about that. he s got the secret life. i can see him more with harry. yeah with harry or william. or how about this story about i like what cameron is doing over there. the prime minister. he s being more decisive than our chief executive. absolutely. he sounds like a leader. let s talk a little bit about isis. the very latest is apparently they ve been very effective with the social media. we found out the second beheading when it was accidentsally tweeted out, now the fox news alert is they re hunting for a guy who went to college, grew up in the boston area. he apparently is their social media expert, he is an american, that guy right there. went to boston university. his dad, a prominent doctor that. is the great fear, of course. chuck hagel says there is about 100 of them, american citizens carrying american documentation freely able to travel presumably. that s the great danger. that s how the war could go from the middle east, most directly, most immediately to the united states, these guys come home. they have shave the beard off. they look like anybody else. they ve got a proper passport f we don t know who they were when they left, there is a possibility, although we re obviously on high alert that, they could sneak back in. they know our ways. remember the world war ii movie, the japanese has the american pow, i know your ways, i went to ucla. that s what we re fearing now. if they didn t want to go one way, they could come from the south a border we re hearing in terms of raised elevation level of security there at some basis. we ve got an issue right now. exposure on the south of our own country here. i had heard those reports. i did an hour documentary about it. i can only say two quick things. number one, there has never been a verified penetration of the southern border by an islamic extremist terrorist. how would we know? let me go on to what has been verified. there has been penetrations from canada and successful terrorist attacks launched from canada, but we have no great clamor to put a wall up with the great white north. and i fear that that that fear, it is all justified that people could come in anyway. but i don t want our fight against terror to be mixed up with the whole debate on immigration. i fear that that is what s happening. it could be one of the causes. the story today is apparently judicial watch uncovered that apparently there is so much chatter on our southern border, they ve got evidence to suggest that isis is essentially in the town across the river from el paso and there is chatter, radio chatter i know juarez very well. i ve been there. i ve covered the dead bodies on the corner. if there was a muslim extremist there and the mexicans knew about t i would not want to be that muslim extremist. they re fierce in their own way. they have no common cause. they re deeply catholic. the people in mexico. i don t see that as the big threat. i see the big threat as people coming in with legal visa, like the 9-11 terrorists. next week is 9-11. how did they get here? with legal visas that they overstayed. that s the danger. i think that canada is a very porous border and they can fit in more there. just so you know, they always change their tactics. they always adapt. absolutely true. the other thing is drugs and terrorists, that s a way to finance their terror activity. also agree. you reported on that in afghanistan. let s switch to joe biden. firey rhetoric talked about we will follow you, meaning eye circumstances to the gates of hell because that s where you belong. i loved that speech. right. then bret baier came back. i loved it, too. more to look at our enchristmas eve say we re going to take you out, which i was hoping our president would say. so the vice president says that. and bret baier was able to get intelligence from our special ops on the ground who said how can we follow them to the gates of hell if we can t even get off our base? i totally get that. and i understand that we have to put our boots where our mouth is to a certain extent. you remember the campaign, the kosovo campaign against the serbs, how we did the whole thing by air. we even told the serbs we were going to hit that train at 12:00 o clock tomorrow and we hit them. i believe that the paranoia is given america s very shaky support for foreign intervention and boots on the ground, our fear is that we ll have american casualties. that s why you are seeing this fervent denial that we ll have troops on the ground. it s going to be an air campaign. and i believe in my heart of hearts as a veteran combat correspondent that an air campaign right now is sufficient. we are driving them back. what about saying what we re not going to do. nick powers a marine, said this to us earlier. the rules of engagement, they have to be modified. we can t fight a force that especially doesn t play by the rules, by having rules of engagement that limit us to be a responsive force. we need to be pro-active. these roes give power to groups like this because they know they can exploit it and use it against us. okay. so joe biden says we re going to follow you to the gates of hell. we can t because of the rules of engagement. even the invisible border with syria we re not bombing there. i lament a couple of things. i lament that the president has not acted sooner and more decisively. i am calling on the president today, as i have been all week, to bring back general david petraeus, the former director of central intelligence. i was with general petraeus in mosul, in northern iraq. no battlefield commander in the uniform of united states knows that territory better. he was disgraced, had an affair with a reporter or secretary, whatever. let s forgive him his trespass. none of us are perfect. bring back general petraeus and also bring back general stanley mccrystal who was our commander in afghanistan and commander of special forces in iraq. have him take over the kurdish fighters. let general mccrystal help direct the kurdish force. that s boots on the ground. exactly. general petraeus can give us an overall strategy for motivating. i have seen him with the sunni sheik, the tribal leaders. he s the best that would ever happen. on a much different note he may not want to be painted as a war president and those generals indicate war to many people and as keen and wise as much as they know about the region, our president may not want that. a declaration of war against isis. isis is a defacto state, let america declare war on isis. before you go, you got to talk about your friend more many years, joan rivers. i loved her. we were in the talk show business together. we did eight shows together. we just completed a reality show six weeks. she was a dear friend, tried, true, loyal. i think that back stage at tom hanks play a year ago, it was a fun night with erica and joan, i think the big story there will be this is michael jackson type story again. dr. conrad murray went to jail for administering this powerful sedative in a setting where he had no capacity to deal with an emergency, an emergency resuscitation. she did a store front clinic, an 81-year-old woman going to a store front clinic getting totally knocked out with propothol, this powerful sedative. they had no ability to resuscitate her. how can that be that they have to call 911, six minutes. she s already dead by the time they get her to bring her to the hospital. i think it s outrageous and i think that the department of health in new york state is righteously and importantly investigating that clinic. what s going to happen with that reality show? i ve never really remembered this, she s passed away now. we haven t seen episode one. how do you think this plays out? i think that my wife and i had this discussion yesterday. remember when fill philip seymorw died? sometimes there is more curiousity after the person is gone. in other terms it might turn off people. what do you think she would want? there is no doubt joan would want everything that she has on tape to be aired. there is no doubt. she had a gig planned that she we want to that procedure thursday. she was supposed to be at the theater in new jersey on friday. she left us laughing and you and she went under the needle together. remember that? when she filled the wrinkles in my forehead with the fat from my butt? yes. remember that? this is like free botox. the idea was they took the fat out of your butt to fill your wrinkles. and all of the jokes that i endured, you can imagine butt fat in my forehead. joan was delightful. she was so funny. thanks for cracking up with us. i loved her. she was great. our condolences to melissa who she loved, and cooper, her granson. she loved new york. she loved trump. she was a grand, grand dame and we ll miss her totally and it s outrageous that she died this way. loved and missed. well said. thank you. well, what s it like to come face-to-face with a shark? i can t say. ma am, where is the shark? i don t know. he bumped me out of my boat. please, i m floating away! please! please! i m scared! we have more of that 911 call. it came straight from a kayak. then is joe biden eyeing a bigger seat at the white house? our next guest says he s the perfect candidate for president. right. i mean right. when people arm americans, we don t retreat. we don t forget. we take care of those who are grieving and when that s finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice because hell is where they will reside! all right. vice president joe biden s visit to portsmouth naval shipyard fueling speculation that he could run for president in 2016. could he actually win? here to weigh in right now is democratic strategist chuck roker. good morning to you. hey, steve. he is the vice president of the united states. but historically, vice presidents have trouble winning. you tell us why joe biden could get the job. there is nobody more experienced in this town who is more qualified than joe biden. that s be obvious about that. he worked at every level of government. what you constantly hear about joe biden is his age. and that he s too old and hillary clinton is going to be the person. i d like to remind people the story of the old bull. i grew up in rural east texas and we had an old bull named jody. every year my grand daddy would bring a young bull into the pen to take care of the cows. the next spring when all the calfs were born, they looked like jody. don t understim the old bull. they re kind of cunning sometimes. you say everybody talks about his age. you know what? i hear people talk about joe biden and all the crazy stuff he says. i don t have to remind you, but for the people watching, here is some of his juicy ones. [ bleep ] put y all back in chains. my admiration for you is equally as deeply held by president stop moving that, you know, what s this thing called? you know. teleprompter. there is no reason the nation of africa cannot and should not join the ranks of the world s most prosperous nations. that s right. chuck, he had said some crazy stuff. he s got a lot of gaffes on the record and they re all on tape. absolutely. but you know today in today s politics, people are refreshed by people who will talk off the cuff, who are not actually run by teleprompter or so stiff that you never know where they re standing. i would remind people that in 07, we thought hillary clinton was goin thing hands down. we never thought we would actually elect an african-american president. especially one named barak obama. stranger things have happened and somebody who is qualified and good on the stump as you just saw, anything could happen. it sounds like you re saying he s more qualified, a better candidate than hillary. no, i said the best qualified probable low who is not named clinton. you pick. who do you like better? look, it s going to be hard to overcome hillary s money, but i never underestimate the old bull. we know that story. it s all about jody. all right. we thank you very much. he s the democratic strategist in d.c thanks. all right. is he leaving the duck dynasty behind? willie robertson is here with a big announcement. he s coming into the studio. there he is right behind brian. he s behind you. he s behind you. hello! three grams daily of beta-glucan. a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. thank you! ccaaaaaaaaaaaa!

just cause i m sitting on the couch doesn t mean i m comfortable in new york. out at the u.s. open last night. i was, yes. and i owe him some money. i lost a bet and he actually said to leave it here with fox & friends. so i will leave my money. so you re not worried about that? no, i m not. i think that s in you, where you come from. we haven t lost it yet. we ve been successful for sure in television. so no. we want to continue to move that spirit out of family and small town. it s okay. there is some small town in new york city. so you can take the boy out of the swamp, but you can t take the swamp out of the boy. still may smell as bad. you smell okay today. give our best to your family. sure will. new season starts in november. the movie is out october 3. we ll be watching sadie. besides that and the bowl game and nascar, you really don t have much on your plate. we ll think of a few other things. unbelievable. thanks. always great to see you. coming up, the president said we have no strategy to defeat isis. but his top jensening a very different message. so what is going on at 1600 pennsylvania avenue? chris wallace is next. and then the democratic governor who is apologizing for tweeting this steamy picture. how do you spell trouble? man: i know the name of eight princesses. i m on expert on softball. and tea parties. i ll have more awkward conversations than i m equipped for, because i m raising two girls on my own. i ll worry about the economy more than a few times before they re grown. but it s for them, so i ve found a way. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we re owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. ready to plan for your future? we ll help you get there. walgreens knows that heartburn sufferers can sometimes find themselves at the corner of mmm, home cooking and umm, i think that s enough. that s why walgreens offers new nexium 24 hour, protection strong enough for whatever your day dishes out. walgreens makes it easy to treat frequent heartburn. with new nexium 24 hour, now get nexium level protection without a prescription. at the corner of happy and healthy. car insurance companies say they ll save you by switching, you d have, like, a ton of dollars. but how are they saving you those dollars? a lot of companies might answer um or no comment. then there s esurance. born online, raised by technology and majors in efficiency. so whatever they save, you save. hassle, time, paperwork, hair-tearing out, and, yes, especially dollars. esurance. insurance for the modern world. now backed by allstate. click or call. we ve got a fox news alert. u.s. air strikes have taken out three senior isis terrorists, including the top aide to isis leader al bagdadi. he was killed in the terror stronghold of mosul. many speculate the president got the news when the secretary of state john kerry passed him this note during yesterday s nato meetings in wales. he continues those meetings today trying to both pressure russia to get out of ukraine and build a coalition to defeat isil. we ll bring in chris wallace with us now. chris, does it look like he s actually able to get through and get help in this coalition to fight isis and terror? i don t think it s clear, elisabeth. a number of countries have said yes, they re going to join and military efforts. but so far britain and france, other countries, mostly taken the form of military aid and assistance to the kurds, but not necessarily they re going to start flying air strikes as well. it s certainly good news to hear we got some of al bagdadi s top lieutenants. i wish we had gotten the top guy himself. joe biden talked about sending them to the gates of hell. i suspect if they get there, they ll be ushered right in. right. the big question was, we talked about on the radio yesterday, the intelligence and the white house on separate pages and now back at home, we might have a strategy, according to the defense department. general dempsey said this at a town hall on facebook, at the president s direction, we have developed a military strategy with a series of option on how we can initially contain, continue to disrupt and ultimately defeat isil. so do we have a strategy? we ll see. i mean, obviously we ll find out when they decide whether or not they re going to go across the border into syria. it s terrific that we were able to get them in mosul. but the fact is because they have the protection of this nonexistent border in syria and can just scurry back there because we have kind of kept our at least one arm tied behind our back, the question is are we going to strike them? they have a lot of targets. their main headquarters is in northern syria. a lot of their training camps. we believe the hostages, american and other foreign hostages were being held there. their supply lines are pretty exposed across the syrian border. so are we going to do that or not? we ll see. and what s interesting, he talked about the fact that we have a strategy or option for the president to decide on. the real question here has never been whether there are options and a strategy at the pentagon. it s been whether or not the president is going to adopt it. sure. and that could be one of the when the videos have come out where these americans are beheaded, if you watch what is available on line, it is despicable and disgusting and you see it and you re so affected and then you have the president of the united states, he s so cautious, some would say aloof in some instances. maybe that s one of the reasons americans now are giving him very bad grades. according to augural lop poll, he tied his all-time low. 30% of the people in the united states approve of the job he s doing. i don t know that it means it s interesting. i don t think it means that people are rush to go get into war. when asked specifically on foreign policy, they don t approve of it. on the other hand they aren t itching to get into a war again in the middle east. but they want somebody with a plan. if i may, i think the thing that is upsetting them so much is the idea of weakness, that they don t like the idea of america and the american president being pushed around, whether it s by al bagdadi in the middle east, whether it s by putin on the russia-syria border. i think it s that weakness upsetting people. and we talked about it yesterday, you have elizabeth warren, you don t get much further to the left in the democratic party than elizabeth warren and she did an interview yesterday or the day before in which she talked tougher than the president of the united states and talked about destroying isis. well, when elizabeth warren is to your right, you ve got an issue if you re the commander in chief. you also have an issue that the american people don t trust, you re convicted and you understand and believe we should be leading the way here. when you look back to 2007 and what president george w. bush said about iraq and hear it now, it is so relevant that getting out too early, getting out the wrong way in iraq could lead us to facing a much more dangerous enemy today and when you hear it now, it will give you chills. take a listen. i know some in washington would like to us start leaving iraq now. begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we re ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region, and for the united states. it means surrendering the future of iraq to al-qaeda. it means that we d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in iraq and replace with one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean the increasing the probability that american troops would have to return in some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. all that happened exactly like he projected and that was prior in the midst of the surge trying to get support. yeah. i was going to say, you don t even have to go nearly that far because at that point, the president was talking about a surge. we had over 100,000 troops in iraq. when he left, he had negotiated the status of forces agreement to leave a much smaller force, maybe 10,000 or 15,000 there as a kind of force to stabilize the iraqi government, to stabilize the iraqi army. and that s the one that president obama failed to work out a deal with al-maliki and as a result, we took all of our troops out and things kind of went to hell. so you don t have to have a surge. you could have had a much smaller force that the pentagon was calling for, 10 or 15,000. we still have over 30,000 troops in korea and it s been a half a century. so just because you have troops on the ground doesn t mean they re in a combat role. it s kind of an insurance policy. a policy that we decided we didn t need anymore. chris, that s looking back. now let s look forward. who are you going to be sitting next to on sunday morning? well, couple of very interesting people on just exactly this subject. first of all, mitt romney. we ll talk about this. he s got a tough editorial in the washington post today in which he talks about weakness and foreign policy and what it gets you. we ll also talk to mike mccall, the chairman of the house homeland security committee and the big concern is could some of those american fighters that go over to isis, could they come back and launch another 9-11 as we approach the 13th anniversary? so i think it will be a very interesting fox news sunday. we ll be tube side. thank you. mitt romney calling for the building up our defense forces again. meanwhile, here is heather with what else is happening in the world. we have other stuff going on to talk about. a brand-new. ems into some heart-stopping moments that a great white shark tossed two women from their kayaks and it comes from the 911 call that they made from the water with the shark. help! i was just on the boat! we re stuck in the water and there is a shark! where is the shark? i don t know, he bumped me out of my boat. please, i m floating away! please! please! i m scared! both women were rescued. the shark leaving behind some giant bite marks right there in one of the kayaks. a pilot forced to turn his plane around on command from the f.b.i the reason? a mother was trying to kidnap her child and escape to china. the united flight returned to dulles airport five hours after taking off. the mother was taken into custody. investigators not releasing many details about the custody case. but they did say that the child is back with his father. the governor of delaware getting tied up by his twitter account. tied up. wait til you see what i mean. he meant to send out this tweet showing him at an elementary school event. but instead, this is the photo that was actually attached to that tweet. clearly a woman in leather straps. not really elementary school material. the tweet was quickly deleted and an apology was sent out. and perhaps the funniest prank that you ve seen in a while, but being attacked by giant spider didn t have these folks laughing. (scream) yeah. the prank unfolding on the streets of poland. it actually looks like a giant spider, but it s just a dog in a costume. just in time for halloween. what would do you? that s a look at your headline. and they had the cameras all set up. exactly. how did that happen? yeah. you think they wanted to be on youtube. we got breaking news on the economy. brand-new numbers just released that reveal how the country is doing. we ll have them in a moment. you may think this will never happen to you, or your kids, being attacked on the street by a violent stranger. but there is a simple and legal way to protect yourself and we have the life-saving lesson next.

(whistling) fox news alert. moments ago, the u.s. labor department released its monthly jobs report. joining us right now here on the couch is from fox business, melissa francis. the news not good. it was a huge miss. economists were looking for an addition of 225,000 jobs to the economy. instead it was 142,000. way below expectations. we thought the labor force participation rate, the number of people who are out there actively looking for a job dropped. it means that even more people gave up. it was supposed to be 225. we ve been above 200,000 for more than six months now. moving along. we really need to be at 300,000 or 400,000 to really get the economy back on track. this is a big disappointment and a big miss. manufacturing very light. that s where we saw a lot of big drop. also retail. so people just not really hiring out there. could it be anything to do with the summer job dismissal? it could. some of it, there was a strike in the northeast. that s one of the things. at the auto plants, a lot of them are idle in august. you would have thought it would have been in the estimate because these are not things that are surprises. so that 142,000 really saying a lot. the unemployment rate now, 6.1%. you ve been talking about this throughout the day? we are. and you re seeing the stock market jump on this news because this is good for the walty t. means very low interest rates. this is something we ve seen through this whole administration. this is again, good for the wealthy, bad for the middle class. troubling numbers. yes. thank you very much. thank you. coming up, you may think this is never going to happen to you or your kids, being attacked on the street by a violent stranger, but it happens more than you think. and there is a simple and legal way to protect yourself. elisabeth will show us next. martha mccallum is here to tell us what s happening at the top of the here and if bill hemmer ever tries anything, i want you to take some of these things down. i will tell him you said so. he s going to be shaking in his boots up here. good morning, everybody. there are some new revelations to tell you about. benghazi investigation that come directly from the men who were on the ground last night. it is something. it comes from bret baier s exclusive. and debbie wasserman schultz in hot water and now backing down a little bit for something she said. how scott walker is now react to go that. and what happened to joan rivers?

it s the red zone right now. meaning now until thanksgiving is a time where the most injuries occur to college students and sexual assaults. 25 college age females are assaulted. this allows for protection at a safe distance. why go hands on when the attack could be more skilled? this pepper spray will fire up to ten feet, which gives awe huge advantage. give me ten meet. what would i do. you re approaching me, i see it, or maybe i don t. right. if you have a chance to give a verbal warning like stop, get back, that s great. but if you feel that your safety is in jeopardy, you re justified to use it immediately. take a simple spray ear to ear across the eyes. do it properly. that s exactly right. with the thumb? you always want to use your thumb. a lot of people use their index finger. makes the can vulnerable. you can take it out of their hand. with the thumb you get a better grip and more pressure and you can strike if need be, which is a big advantage. use your thumb. this is a common pepper spray where typically it s locked on the left. now unlocked and ready to go. so here i am. this is ten feet. exactly. so i can actually spray this here. this is a practice. you can spray the car or me. it s about ten feet. that actually shoots farther than i thought. if you spray ear to ear, exactly. this does what, right after you spray somebody, they re not able to see? right. you ultimately want to aim for the eyes. so even if they re under the influence of drugs or alcohol, here is another one, it will slam their eyes shut. taking away their ocular area. it takes away their vision, it gives you the opportunity to escape. tower spray and run away? exactly. think about it as a train coming down. you just want to step out of the way of that train, side step and escape to safety. they can t see you cause you ve taken away their vision. that s the biggest advantage of naturally occurring pepper spray. it slams the eyes shut, giving you that opportunity to escape. really blinding your opponent. your potential assaulter so you can get away to safety with sexual assault occurring on campuses. we thank you for being here today. i asked everybody here today if they had a young woman in their family if they would want her to be protected and use one of these and they said yes. one for the road is next. when you told me about this candy crush game at first i thought so what?
