you went and golfed. do you want that back? you know, it is always a challenge when you re supposed to be on vacation. because you re followed every where and part of what i would love is a vacation from the press. there s no doubt that after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that i made, that i should have anticipated the optics. you know, that s part of the job. it s serious business and you care about it deeply. but part of this job is also the theater, part of it is, you know, how are you it s not something that always comes naturally to me, but it matters. and i m mindful of that. oh, good lord. we re here. good lord? what do you mean? you re talking in my ear. i m excited. i accept him with open arms. i missed you. been away. field work. field work. oh, the kids. don t overdo it. willie and i have this, we love the kids. that s all i m going to say. we also have msnbc contributor dorian warren. what a title for a young guy. i m older than i look. i won t say a number. how old your? 38. you re so young. happy birthday. you ll have to get used to what we do here on morning joe. lots to talk about. a lot of clowns. clowns run out joe has lots of pot shots to go with the president, i m sure. the president, though, i got to say first of all chuck todd s interview i thought the interview what was so fascinating about it is okay, thank you. you just took that off of me. so i do meet the press yesterday. great job. i get home and my 11-year-old daughters says to me last night i saw you on meet the press. i go, really? my kids don t usually watch me on tv, they just don t. i said how did doi? she said you had a big piece of lint right here. all day. i said nobody could tell me until now. she watched you once on tv. it s distracting when you roll around in cat hair before you go on tv. everybody has their thing they do before they go on tv. as you were saying. i thought the president was engaged and i thought he did well. i actually found myself saying i think he s got this just about right. as you know, that s unusual. it is. for me to say that. let s face it i haven t always been the biggest support of barack obama. i called the stimulus package a steaming pile of garbage. said his health care plan was bad for america. you were wrong. bad for america. i said his massive spending program in 2009 was bad for american capitalism. the kids loved that one online. i repeatedly warned against tripling the number of troops in afghanistan, i condemned the drone policy and i had concern about a management style that leaves him isolated in d.c. and his own white house. but when it comes down to facing the greatest threat since 9/11 i think this president has it just about right. let republicans and hillary clinton play the cynical game that politicians love to play by second guessing his lack of action in syria and ranting on what might have been. let s not argue counter realist on this beautiful september morning. let s just stick to reality. americans would not have support ad third war against a muslim country in less than a decade and as eisenhower taught us during the suez crisis in 56, less can sometimes be more when it comes to wars in the middle east. because the president refused to rush in with guns blazing in the isis crisis, when he goes before the american people on wednesday night what will happen? he ll have the arab league behind him. you had the leader of the arab league basically saying we need the u.s. over here. for once it s going to be nice to actually go into battle against, i ll say it, an evil force where we re not going it alone, right? yes. but i think there s one key thing we should be looking for wednesday night and that s what s congress role authorizing any action that we might take in iraq and syria. this is broader than the president this, is presidential power versus congressional power. congress has a significant role to play in asking the right questions and authorizing force. i would argue for a limited time. all right. we ll talk about that. we ll start there because we have a little bit of what the president said yesterday make his case for action. here it is. the next phase is now to start going on some offense. we have to get an iraqi government in place and i m optimistic that next week we should be able to get that done. i want everybody to understand we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. that s not what this is about. what it s about is an organization that if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms, that over time that could be a serious threat to this would. we got a lot to talk about this morning including incredible story coming out of atlanta, atlantic hawks story. what have you noticed about the president yesterday in chuck s interview? i saw some emotion. i saw some passion out of him, on the obama level. he s not going to get fired up and scream at the camera. he s a pretty mellow guy. he talked about the optic, a word we used and overused about him playing golf immediately after the statement of james foley being executed. he said i probably got that wrong. that s the first time we herd him say there s something about theater in politics. the lead story is what s happening with isis but an interesting footnote. measured and careful actually worked in this interview while at other times it seems disengaged. but these are situations that do call for a measured, careful action with other countries helping. it s making sense. beginning to make sense. we ll see what happens when he addresses the nation wednesday night. the atlanta hawks are going up for sale. bruce levenson said he sent an insensitive e-mail in 2012 written to three team executives. levenson listed his concerns including the majority of fans being black. cheerleaders being black. and hip-hop music being played at the arena saying quote my theory is the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. the league had been investigating the e-mail prior to levenson s decision to sell. levenson said by focusing on race i sent the unintentional and hurtful message that our white fans are more valuable than our black fans. if you re angry about what i wrote, you should be. i m angry at myself too. nba commissioner adam silver said, as mr. levenson acknowledged the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles of the national basketball association. we have to separate these things out. i understand what the commission certificate saying. this guy just talked about southern whites, southern whites have a problem going to a place where they are in the minority. that may have been okay. the nba commissioner can act shocked all he wants. i read an espn article yesterday this guy said something in a very inartful clumsy way that every front office in the nba is grappling with, how to get white suburban fans in an arena along with people of color. can you just say let s we have to find ways to make this a more inclusive experience. give us the background. i lived in atlanta for seven years. it s a tough sports town. the hawks have struggled with attendance for many years. i think what he said in a private e-mail was he should not have said it, obviously, shouldn t have said it the way he said it. he s talking about demographics. he s talking about getting, the nfl talks about courting female fans. this is talking about courting more suburban white fans. and i think he said it in a way that was ugly and he did the right thing self reporting it and took himself out of the game. it s a problem not just in atlanta, it s a problem in other leagues, how do you fill these arenas. they have struggled with it for decades. what was shocking to me reading the emails is how bad of a manager he is. done he have staff to do the demographics and data collection on what will attract fans to the game? he s just spouting theories that has no basis in reality. that s the crux of the problem for me. and joe as you point out this is not isolated to this team, it s how the front office thinks. i hope they use data to support those assertions. the idea playing hip-hop in time-out is the reason why your fans are not coming? what your talking about. a lot of the white kids in suburbs are buying at least half the hip-hop music. what do you think of his apology? it s self serving. it s a good pr move for it. he ll come out fine because he ll sell a stake of the team and walk away. you don t buy it? no, not at all. in a few hours new jersey governor chris christie will help reverse atlantic city s bad fortunes. he ll lead a summit how to turn around the casino industry. four casinos are expected to close this year costing nearly 8,000 jobs. he s returning from a tripe to mexico which drew comparisons for a dry run for a 2016 presidential campaign. the governor also toned down his typically blunt style. but despite a successful trip christie returns to the harsh political realities of home. the dnc is launching an ad blitz in new jersey today reminding residents it s been one year since the bridge scandal. for the second time this year, fitch has downgraded the state s bond rating. citing economic woes including governor chris christie to cut pension payments. joan rivers had a final good-bye yesterday as she requested in her autobiography. it was hollywood all the way. nbc s ron mott has the story. reporter: the comic legend joan rivers got the final punch line she wanted. a roster of a-list guests from whoopi goldberg to barbara walters, and the show stopper himself howard stern. howard stern gets up unannounced and opens up with a line that brought the house down but boy was it risky. reporter: raunchy and wild, no holds barred. in her 2012 book i hate everyone starting with me, joan joked about her sendoff. i want lights, crams, action. i want it to be hollywood all the way. don t give me some rabbi rambling on. reporter: outside fans applauded her daughter and son as they left the service led by a band of bagpipers. you consider yourself a fan? absolutely. you could feel energy. reporter: nbc s hoda kotb shared many a giggle with joan. seems to be weird smiling after a memorial service. that s what this afternoon was. it was filled with laughter and joy and tears. the service was irreverent. joan rivers would have loved it. reporter: a farewell far from fun, though heavy on levity for the queen of comic. howard stern got up to give an eulogy and said something extremely off color and risky and brought the house down. what a shock. i can t believe he did that. no, what else would you do. you know what s interesting i heard jimmy kimmel said something last week she was a great role model for female comedian, no she was a great role model for all of us. pushed the envelope. say what s on your mind opinion say what other people are thinking. she was bigger than just a role model for women, she was a role model for everybody. you want to get to these senate poll. nbc news/marist poll republicans making big gains. in arkansas, tom cotton opened up a five-point lead against mark prior. the candidates now tied. mitch mcconnell leads democrat alison lundergan grimes. the senator minority leader holds a similar lead. little bit better news for democrats in colorado, mark udall is ahead of cory gardner by six points. the lead expands to eight among registered, essentially unchanged from july. in all three states president obama finds his approval rating sitting below 40%. in arkansas and kentucky he s at 31%. willie, a couple of things. first of all you get past labor day you re not in pre-season any more. these polls do start to matter. what do you see? you see a tale of two countries. red states are getting redder. seeing it in arkansas, and kentucky in a obligate way. blue states are getting bluer. you see it in colorado and oregon. all this could change. you never know what s going to happen if we go in and if the president does a really good effective job on managing the isis threat as we go through the fall, his approval ratings will go up, democrats approval ratings will go up. republicans last week said republicans have this in the bag? seriously, we don t know and won t know for a long time. coming up, congressman mike rogers on isis. and then mad dog chris russo to break down the nfl s opening weekend. that s ahead. then you know her from hbo s hit show girls actress zosia mamet will be with us. but first a mysterious virus affecting thousands of children. plus a pair of deer bringing traffic to a stop on the golden gate bridge for nearly 30 minutes. they have to get across. 30 minutes?

you know, talking to a producer and he asked me about the performance and went on for ten minutes about chuck todd. oh, you and inpresident. generally as he did it was a go goldilock performance. everybody knows it s a political decision. absolutely it s a political decision. and, you know why is that okay and other times it s not? why not just say it s a political decision. why not just admit it. yes politics is involved here. and, he s going to risk he s doing it for the senate but risk a turn out problem with a lot of the base in the democratic party. you look at the stakes. i guarantee you mary ann landrieu in louisiana doesn t want it. arkansas, mark pryor. just say it. let me get to the piece in the hill. obama s care second year bring news challenges. health insurance exchanges are set to re-open for enrollment 2019 months. this countdown has the white house and federal health officials bracing to see if the system encounters any fresh technical problems. the whole team is focused on avoiding the chaos of last year when healthercare.gov was unable to hand all small number of users and floundered for months. are you saying there s a rocky road ahead? do we know? there could be. there s parts of that website that have not been fully constructed and we just found out that it was hacked in a small way in july and so there s certainly on-the-spot right now answering questions. we do know there was an enormous text surge and enormous amount of money spent and around the clock work to make sure the website was functional by the end of spring. remember this time last year nobody anticipated it would go as badly as indict. i think they are focused this time on getting it right. on isis i have tom friedman writing, the most effective leadership abroad starts with respect earned from others seeing us commit to doing great and difficult things at home. that is how america inspires others to action. and the necessary impactful thing that america should do at home now is for the president and congress to lift ourselves-imposed ban on u.s. exports which would significantly dent the global high price of crude oil. and bind that with long overdue comprehensive tax reform that finally values our environment and security. nothing would make us stronger and putin and isis weaker, all at the same time. i agree with that. we re talking about isis. isis ain t looking at our tax policy. isis don t care about our oil export policy. if you want to stop isis there s only one way to stop isis. i remember a couple of years ago we had a pulitzer prize winner on here saying the bush administration is doing this and that because the pakistanis want to be like us. dr. brzezinski started laughing and said you re a fool. they do not want to be like us. they want to be the opposite of us. come on. i one what tom is saying. we need to get our house in order. getting our house in order will not face the isis crisis. killing bad guys and blowing up their equipment. people want to put them in two coordination. either bomb them back to the stone age or change our domestic policy and they will back off. not going to happen. this is an incredibly complex situation. that s why the president had a very difficult time. how do you think he s handling it? some neo-cons in the republican party, hillary clinton, all second guessing, we should have been stronger in syria. i think he s got it about right so far. you have to be why he got elected president in the first place. he s calibrated it fairly well. he s taking the right opportunity to speak to the country. i think wednesday is a big night. what do they want to hear on capitol hill? do you think republicans especially are going to step forward and engage this president and become a partner in a battle against isis? no. there s too much animosity between the white house and capitol hill. we have senator john mccain and lindsey graham speaking for that group. it s not politically popular to go out and say i want to commit a lot abroad and put troops on the ground and all of these things. you see a variety of lawmakers taking opinions on this but i think for the white house to come through and work with lawmakers is really going to be a long shot at this point. interesting. ted cruz is using this now as taunt to say i m going to run. all right. thank you both very much. still ahead on morning joe, bill krystal and janet napolitano they had the funniest. never with their likely downtown kids love these two when they get together. on immigration. right? you got label stuff going. a bunch of news. we ll get to that. first how far should the u.s. go to defeat isis. the chairman of the house intelligence committee congressman mike rogers standing by with his answers. morning joe will be right back. hey, i notice your car yeah. it s in the shop. it s going to cost me an arm and a leg. you shoulda taken it to midas. they tell you what stuff needs fixing, and what stuff can wait. high-five! arg! brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling) woman: everyone in the nicu all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment. i wouldn t trade him for the world. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we re owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. if you re caring for a child with special needs, our innovative special care program offers strategies that can help. here with us now from capitol hill republican representative from michigan and chairman of the house intelligence committee congressman mike rogers. congress man rogers senator feinstein says the president is on offense. do you agree? i certainly hope so. i got to see the action part of that and be given as the chairman of the intelligence committee we see the action part. do you like what you re hearing? i do. this is a gear shift for the president. that s important. i think, obviously, his discussions in nato, he believed he had support there in nato. all of that is progress in this particular case. and hopefully we ll get him to take and lay out a strategy to go after, dismantle all of isil. you can t do it just in iraq, you ll probably have to do some in syria as well. mr. chairman, a lot of times we ll say, pundits will say, politicians will say the president needs to educate america. he needs to get out there. something the president doesn t want to be educator in chief. what about him educating congress. isn t this threat grave enough that we really need the house and senate on board with the president? oh, absolutely. what does he need to do to get some people that are more reluctant to get in this fight against the islamic state? first of all, i think in congress we need to expose all members to the level of threat that those of us on the national security committee see every day. from what you know, how big is that threat? i think it s hugely significant because the longer they go in what appears to the rest of the world as progress for them, so they are advertising that they are winning, that means more and more westerners are showing up. so every time a werner shows up, becomes more radicalized and trained and is willing to go back and commit an act of political terror back home which could be europe, could be the united states, could be canada, that s dangerous for us. the longer they hold as much land as they hold in iraq, the more money they get and that also, that increases the threat against us, right in the clock is ticking? oh, absolutely. one of the things we learned about 9/11 time and space. and so we gave al qaeda all the time and all the space and so they had free operation in afghanistan, nobody disrupting their activities in any way and then they went out and raised money. it s more dangerous than them, they can go raise money for their operations, they had to out how to sneak people into the united states. they have time and space right now and they have money already and they have people with western passports, that s why this is so dangerous. hard and soft power do you think should be used, risk of american lives is something to be considered? you won t beat them by remote control. we ll have to have some exposure of u.s. service. intelligence service and special capability soldiers. not big armies. and why is because we need our arab league partners in the lead on this and we also, we have others that can help us and what we can do is add leverage. when you add leverage some u.s. forces will be exposed. thank you, mr. chairman. thank you so much for being with us. hope you come back. coming up next, mika a rare sight most of us won t see in person as an volcano erupts on camera in the south pacific. plus winners and losers from week one of the nfl season, mad dog is on the loose. he s on the loose. we ll be right back. we ll give the first week of the nfl and craziest man in showbiz with mad dog. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. centurylink your link to what s next. it s about getting to the finish line. in life, it s how you get there that matters most. it s important to know the difference. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. and that i had to take action. so he talked to me about xarelto®.

with a chance to get even at 31 a piece. they didn t score. manning let them in was a little bit of a surprise. denver 1-0. but the colts actually had a chance here to come back and win this game. the colts were the only team that peyton manning had not beaten in the nfl and now he can check that off. that s a good point. colts and patriots, i m worried about. good job by indianapolis getting back. what about clowney, the big defensive guy. out four to six weeks. and j.j. wats. he was all over the place. blocking passes. i would be worried about rg3 he did nothing. jay gruden utilized his

almost the top of the hour. okay. almost the top of the hour. shall we continue? doreen is back with us. mike is with us. willie is back with us. the president will deliver an address to the nation on wednesday outlining a plan to attack isis. it is a plan that could last longer than his term in office. it will last three years. using air strikes to halt isis and protect civilians, securing iraq s government and training troops and finally flushing isis from syria. so, the president is going to talk before the nation on wednesday. we were talking about this last hour. because he s done at any time way he s done it, when he goes there, he s already got the uae on board. egypt, last week we were talking to the white house and told us egypt was not far behind. you now have the arab league, the 22 country arab league is talking about stepping up and supporting this as well. we don t usually have arab countries begging us to come over with weapons to take care of their messes. we have that in this case. i think the president i think the time cigarette played out just about right. the time cigarette played out right. this is one of the campaign promises he s making good on. remember he shot the prominence for his senate race by opposing when we went into the iraq war the going it alone strategy. it s showing us a different kind of foreign policy strategy of bringing folks along. he has to answer the questions what s the imminent threat to the u.s. and what is congress role in authorizing the use of force here. mike how do you think he s doing he s doing well. mike, i said it last week i m sick and tired of other countries needing our help, quietly saying we need your help. come over here. and then we go over and help out and then suddenly their state-run newspapers are calling us the evil american imperialist dog. so i like the fact that this president, one of the few things i agreed with him consistently is that we re going to stop carrying the world s water and he s basically called the bluff of all of these countries and now i think we ll get more support from america because you have arab states begging us to come over, not as liberators, but to hurt an evil force. two things have occurred both in the last 48 hours. the president s meeting with chuck todd and yesterday the head of the arab league indicating it s time for arab nations to get on board to fight this evil. how important is that? hugely important but it proves the point that over the past two weeks with everything that s been going on in the american media, that being cautious and being methodical is not weakness. i was talking before about ike and the suez crisis in 1956. sometimes doing less in the middle east is doing more. yeah. for the past two weeks, there s bean barrage largely within the american media he s weak, he s not doing anything, any sensible person would have to know with any limited knowledge of washington that s what he said. i loved willie understands it. it s khaki and it s awesome. anyway, i aide after he said we didn t have a strategy not a big deal. he said something he shown have said. he said it in an inartful way. at the end of the day he ll be judged on his policy. now the arab league saying come over here we need you. 22 state arab league stepping up against isis. that exclusive interview on meet the press president obama made the case for action. the next phase is now to start going on offense. we have to get an iraqi government in place. i want people to under we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. that s not what this is about. what it s about is an organization that if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms, that over time that could be a serious threat to this would. over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil, we are going to systematically degrade their capability, we ll shrink the territory that they control and ultimately we re going to defeat them. long way, long way from when you described them as a jv team. was that bad intelligence or your misjudgment? keep in mind i wasn t specifically referring to isil. i said that regionally there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally, weren t focused on the homeland because i think a lot of us when we think about terrorism, the model is osama bin laden and 9/11 and the point of it you don t believe these people not yet. they can evolve. so we ll learn more about the strategy in the speech wednesday night. tricky part is isis, islamic state of iraq and syria. we can go into iraq, we can form partnership, perform air strikes inside iraq. what about syria? chuck asked him about that. we can partner with the free syrian army. not clear how you go after them. there s a different between what mike rogers was saying and the president was saying. that s where it gets murky. again, i ll repeat a quote that somebody said on this air several years ago. if you take vienna, take vienna. if you re going to defeat isis there s not a military leader that s going to tell you you can defeat isis in iraq. it s like my argument about not tripling the number of troops in afghanistan several years ago because everybody said well the problem it s not really in afghanistan it s in pakistan but we have to put the troops in afghanistan no. it didn t make sense. you didn t beat the islamic state in syria by going into iraq. he s going to have to make some tough choice. of course, his problem is if he goes into syria and he brings this group in syria he helps assad. that s the crux of his problem. if you re going to defeat isis you have to defeat isis. that s right. this will go beyond his administration, obviously and part of his legacy, the next president will have to continue this fight. ordeal with whatever he put on the plate. the nba s atlanta hawks is going up for sale. bruce levenson announced he ll sell his controlling interest after admitting he sent a racially insensitive e-mail back in 2012. written to three team executives, bruce levenson listed his concerns including the majority of fans being black, the cheerleaders being black, and hip-hop music being played at the arena saying in part quote, my theory is the black crowd scared away the whites and there s simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. the league had been investigating the e-mail prior to levenson s decision to sell. levenson said, quote by focusing on race i sent the unintentional and hurtful message that our white fans are more valuable than our black fans. if you re angry about what i wrote, you should be. i m angry at myself too. the fab commissioner said as mr. levenson acknowledged the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles of the national basketball association. i don t buy the apology. this is a long time in the making. the emails are going to be leaked. he handed them over. great pr move because he gets to come out without being sanctioned by the league. he s voluntarily selling. he ll walk away with a lot of money. any sentence that starts with my theory you know you re running into problems. what do you think he was trying to say? he made all sorts of assertion of what the fan base is and why ticket sales aren t up with any actual research or evidence. do you think he was being blatantly racist and no other business conintercept i think he was being dumb as a manager, first and foremost. he was the biggest critic of donald sterling. there s a little bit of hypocrisy. it s about framing. if he had said i m afraid that southern whites are not open minded enough to go into an arena where they are a majority, then he would have been fine. but, my god, you re playing with fire when you re talking about what every other nba front office is talking about. but in the clumsiest and worst way. also, there is, though, also, as we were saying last hour, also the question of where has this guy been for the 25 years. by the way, they exploded in the mainstream in 1989 and this guy is talking about hip-hop business is bad for white kids. it s not the ludicrous song. he s from atlanta. they love him there. we got chris mannix with senior writer for sports illustrated. i want to read what you wrote here. banishing sterling was the right thing to do but the nba opened pandora s box when it did. one comment, one e-mail, one statement never meant to become public can have catastrophic results. bruce levenson had an ugly skeleton buried in his closet, a sellton that would eventually emerge. this e-mail was written two years ago. he sees what happened to sterling. company have self-report ad couple of years ago and just did it this week. this is the attendance question is one that guys grapple with and it makes you wonder what are the private conversation happening behind closed doors that we don t see and emails that aren t released to the public. i wouldn t give him too much credit for self-reporting this e-mail because i don t believe he did it of his own volition. at some point he must have believed people in the organization were aware of this e-mail and aware he had to get it out there and get in front of this story before somebody else did. it certainly is a bad look for bruce levenson, but in terms of the league and how they look at this going forward, as i wrote it opens a pandora s box with what to donald sterling. every owner in the league is looking at themselves saying doi have this type of e-mail out there lurking. is there something i said in a group set or somebody has something on a cell phone. now all of a sudden if you make one insensitive comment or do something stupid like bruce levenson did with that earn mail could you be subject to the nuclear option. that s what s making owners nervous. what s left unsaid here with regard to the atlanta hawks, a, they don t win. so, that s tough. not terrible. not terrible but the other interesting aspect of it is the braves, the atlanta braves who also have difficulty growing are actually moving to the suburbs. in an attempt to moving north. where most white suburban, but affluent atlantians are living. got a brand new stadium. brand new for lack of ticket sales. on to other news. in just a few hours new jersey governor chris christie will try to help reverse atlantic city s bad fortunes. the governor will lead a summit on how to turn around the city s casino industry. four casinos are expected to close this year costing the town nearly 8,000 jobs. we should go to that. hold on. i ll see mccartney, the eagles 8,000 jobs. then jersey. chris christie. i want to cover the summit in new jersey and shed light on the jobs being lost there and people s whose lives have been turned upside down and what will to be done to fix it. i m serious. he s just back from mexico. he looks so presidential. he a three day trip to mexico. drew comparison force a dry run to a 2016 presidential campaign. reporters noticed there was contact choreography. the governor toned down his typically blunt style. despite that trip christie returns to the harsh political realities of home. the dnc is launching an ad blitz in new jersey reminding residents it s one year since the bridge scandal. for the second time this year fitch downgraded the state s bond rating. it cited the state s economic woes, including christie s decision to cut pension payments. a lot of new polls out. yesterday from meet the press. nbc news/marist poll showing republicans making significant gains in some closely watched senate races. in arkansas, tom cotton has opened a five point lead against the democrat there, senator mark pryor. the candidates now tied among registered voters. in may senator pryor had an 11 point lead. in kentucky mitch mcconnell leads democrat alison lundergan grimes by eight points. he holds a similar lead amongst registered voters. in may they were tied. better news for democrats in colorado where democratic senator mark udall is ahead of republican congressman cory gardner by six points. lead expands to eight among registered. unchanged from july. in all three states president obama finds his approval rating below 40%. look at those numbers, willie. arkansas 31%. kentucky 31%. colorado 39%. also fascinating in arkansas, bill clinton s approval ratings plus 30. mitt romney, he s upside down in a couple of those states. what you have is you got the blue states getting bluer, red states getting redder. you don t know how americans will react to the military threat coming from isis in the coming weeks. i think a lot of those numbers have actually been dragged down because the president has been seen bungling on foreign policy. whether it s fair or not. if he s forceful taken isis threat is neutralize and effective i think you re going to see those numbers go back up. for republicans claiming that these races are over and i heard this from way too many republicans last week, it s really early. it s the first quarter. we ll see what happens. i have to ask chris mannix something. we were talking about owners that were concerned. what about mark cuban. he had one of the most fascinating comments about race, he said everybody is prejudiced. there was not enough discussion. it was provocative but the kind of conversation that the nba, especially, has to have. is mark cuban worried right now mark cuban is worried and every other owner is worried. this is what mark was talking about when he made the initial statements after the donald sterling comments came to light. when somebody says something privately and becomes public. no question bruce levenson and the hawks owner was out of line and no question he completely misguided about what he was saying. atlanta has always been a very complicated city, very complicated starts city. it s not skbruft the demographics or france ses down there. it s about atlanta being a ran the ran ttransient city. this guy will lose his team, how far to wonder if there s an e-mail of something i said out there will i lose my team too. a divided city. it really is. you look at the perimeter, south of the perimeter the demonstrate month graphics are different. north of the perimeter, the atlanta braves moved because of that. sports illustrated chris mannix, thank you so much. great to have you on board today. happy birthday. you re a kid. he s 38. you re a kid. he s 38. shhh. that s awesome. still ahead on morning joe joan rivers gets the funeral she said she always wanted. we ll tell you about it in a few

why was the president sort of on his toes in the interview yesterday? i think part of it is because he does i think they feel they know what they have to try to do. doesn t mean they will accomplish it. they have to find these sunni states, gate saudi arabia and a jordan and a talk and get these, those countries to somehow put the boots on the ground in syria. they seem to have everybody on this team has agreed. will he go into syria. that s right now the big question. he pushed back when you talked about syria. he s going in some form of syria. he was very careful to say it won t be boots on the ground but it s going in some sort of supporting element. there s no other way to defeat isis and his own folks have said it. i said that to him. he agreed. but i think they think they are going to build this middle east coalition. i think they think they are going to do a jim baker style coalition, that john kerry essentially will be able to replicate what bush 41 incident 90 and 91 when it was a real coalition. you had dozens of countries involved and you had arab countries involved that were actually engaging in the military operation, you know. it was part of the question i said that there s plenty of people wondering at what point does all this military aid that the united states has given the saudi arabia for decades will be used by saudi arabia. this speech tomorrow night he has to make a major pitch to the american people. this is a new chapter in a war. let s be honest. you asked him are we going war but he hedged. last time we opened a new chapter, 13 years since we started it. we could be in for a long fight. does he feel he can convince the american people it s time to go back into a war. he can convince the american public they have to defeat isis. remember when he s giving the speech he s given it on the eve of the 13th anniversary of 9/11. you ll hear some 9/11 imagery from him. he says they are not al qaeda yet but could be if they somehow if we don t deal with them now. i think rallying the country by isis is one thing. i think the difficulty here is what do you do after? who fixes syria? who is in charge of rebuilding it? is it united states responsibility? that s the issue here. he himself said it. the united states was all in iraq, everything was okay and as the u.s. pulled out of iraq chaos ensued again. vacuum developed. here comes isis. isn t the same thing going to happen in syria after we re done? i thought it was interesting that you were able to talk to the president about the whole golf issue, the golfing incident after james foley and the president spoke. i have to ask you during that vacation made the statement on foley, your went and golfed. do you want that back? you know, it is always a challenge when you re supposed to be on vacation. because you re followed every where and part of what i would love is a vacation from the press. there s no doubt after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that i made, that, you know, i should have anticipated the optics. you know, that s part of the job. it s serious business. and you care about it deeply. but part of this job is also the theater of it. part of it is, you know, how are you well, it s not something that, that always comes naturally to me. but it matters. and i m mindful of that. he doesn t usually say that, does he mika. no. when you talk about optics in theater, looking to wednesday night it seems like he s doing everything right. how does he communicate that. how does he punch a wednesday night without falling into traps of rhetoric? well, i think the president said it very well. you got arab state, you got uae, egypt. chuck you were talking about syria. i think we ll get a lot of countries on board other than qatar that doesn t strike me as an ally of anybody but terrorists. there i said it. what does the president do on wednesday night to punch, not only to the american people but also to congress? exactly. look, i think congress is going to be there if it seems like a defined end, right. if there is evidence that this coalition is going to happen. i think he will get congress. i doesn t seem as if i ve noticed that the voice there s and look some, some on the campaign trail are very nervous about voting for something that is open ended. but if he can come up with a closed end ask of congress, it should be an easy thing. by the way going back to what he said, one thing that the public forgets is presidents if they don t know how to compartmentalize they would never get sleep. right. exactly. chuck todd, thank you very much. coming up a star studded affair as joan rivers was laid rotate. we got all the details next. later on morning joe one woman s battle with an eating disorder that nearly ruined her life. girls star, zosia mamet discusses why she s out an addict in eating. that s coming up. morning joe will be right back. rst modern airliner, revolutionary by every standard. and that became our passion. to always build something better, airplanes that fly cleaner and farther on less fuel. that redefine comfort and connect the world like never before. after all, you can t turn dreams into airplanes unless your passion for innovation is nonstop. unless your passion for innovation is nonstop. when folks think about wthey 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. and cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently. 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. welcome back. just as she requested in her au autobiography, the funeral for joan rivers was done in a big way. ron mott live in new york city outside of rivers apartment building. ron, good morning. reporter: good morning to you. it may be a while before we all stop talking about joan rivers. sales of her books online for example have surged since her passing on thursday. you can see the memorial here outside her home. friends say her legacy is being honored just as she would want. it was the final farewell joan rivers envisioned for self, a-list celebrities showing up in bunches for a memorial service that might have earned an r rating exactly what friends say she want. there was donald, barbara walters, whoopi goldberg and rosy. hugh jackman sang the song and the entire congregation gave joan one last stand ovation and nobody wanted to sit down. reporter: the sendoff the comic legend ordered was classic joan rivers. . it my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights and cameras and action. i want it to be hollywood all the way. don t give me some rabbi rambling on. reporter: outside a legion of fans took it all in while inside shock jock howard stern took the program in a direction no one saw coming. right after the rabbi does a beautiful job opening up and remember joan said i don t want a rambling rabbi, he took note of that. howard stern gets up unannounced and opened up with a line that brought the house down. opposite bagpipes finished. melissa rivers and her son getting cheers from the crowd. melissa spoke and read a letter she wrote to her matter. it was poignant and funny. she s been a rock through all of this. reporter: as a new week gets under way the investigation as to what caused her death continues on. we may hear some news on that this week. ron volunteered to repeat howard stern s line. reporter: it s a morning show, a family show. it was funny, though. we re trying to find what he said online and we can t find it. i mean, do you know what the line was? reporter: i do know what the line was. i can tell you this, he came out i won t say it, he came out and said joan rivers had a very dry there was this long pause and he delivered the punch line after that. i think you just said it. okay, ron. reporter: it s probably not the word you were thinking. that s how he delivered it. ron coming up i love you you re awesome. well done. we have to put him in the carrie sanders pantheon of greatness. you re definitely in the realm of greatness. all right. thanks very much. coming up, today marks the what a save. whoa! that was good. dry sense of humor. that s what he s saying. okay. it s good when you just say it and move on. today marks six months since flight 370 disappeared. tom costello will tell us where the investigation stands including a new phase of the search. up next is president obama doing enough to keep americans safe?

he s giving a speech wednesday. are you suggesting quid pro quo. define you guys. you. not mika. the president is worried about intervention. you re right to support the president. on the other hand janet napolitano was still there we would not have isis think about this. let s be serious. horrible thing. the threat of isis is unbelievably bad. we also agree isis needs to be stomped out. should never have been allowed to get this far. that s a huge problem. this is where we disagree as far as syria goes. it s a lot of easy for neo-cons and hillary clinton to say we should have invaded two years ago. we don t know what would have happened if he had done that. the american people are war weary and would not have supported a massive intervention in syria. it wasn t that easy. i supported the president a year ago. not a lot of republicans. it should have been two, three years ago. even a year ago. i supported him. it s gotten much worse. i hope, very much hope he now grasps reality, accepts reality and acts decisively. his secretary of state said the day before, two days before that interview we have a red line, no ground troops. really? you say natural you re a serious power. no. if you have to choose between assad and isis who do you zmoos. i don t choose. you have to choose. we can do boston them. that s what it means to be great power. get rid of assad. get rid of him right away. who runs syria? we don t know. there s a better chance of having decent people run syria two years ago. one of the most striking statements by a president let s talk about the future. citizens of syria demonstrated against the dictatorship. they were merchants and doctors. he drew red lines. ignored the red lines. the question is what do we do? hold on a second. if we hurt isis, we help assad. why we helping assad. if we decimate syria assad is a weak dictator. isis is a real threat. i hate to admit this. i think we may agree on moving forward. let the record show not nearly as bad with janet napolitano. all downhill since she left. border, thousands of people flooding across the border. janet, based on what you know, how dangerous is the isis threat to the american homeland? characterize it somehow for us. i think the number one threat the homeland are americans or europeans who have passport whose have been over there and trying to come back and do something in the united states. do we know who they are? i have been out for a year. we have some. but it s difficult to track travel, difficult to track travel particularly from turkey into the region. so we don t have 100% fix or we didn t at the time. mark mcginnis has a question. mark. you talk about americans or other foreign nationals that may be going in, or coming out. can you talk about americans, what homeland defense is doing about americans going over now, is there a system in place, or strategy for making sure that americans aren t going over now? and, again, i m not there. but, obviously, eyes and ears are attuned to americans who may be traveling into the region. trying to track travel with the travel documents that dhs does collect, but it s a very big region and these are very big borders and freedom of travel is freedom of travel. so i would be surprised if you could say yeah we have 100% control. janet said eyes and ears. that s another issue, national security agency and its listening in on an awful lot of conversations from abroad to here which i ve always defended. president says a few words how important it is against irresponsible critics of the left and right and defends our intelligence officers. isis jumped on everybody s radar screen and the american public in the last six months to a year, i would say. how much were they on your radar screen when you were secretary of homeland security. is this a group you were focused on, a group you were concerned about. a month ago the president called them a jv team. he didn t take them as seriously as they have now. they have grown in terms of size and capability. yes, they were on everybody s radar screen. they were there. the issue of travellers was already present. there were lots of discussions with how do you get the region and the countries in the region to participate in a more vital and more vigorous manner. but were they the dominant source of conversation? not at the time, no. madam secretary thank you so much for coming. we ll come out to berkeley and do a stand up routine. think the kids would loyalist. if you do it we ll host it. will the kids love us? i think we should. morning joe at berkeley. get out of the east coast and come out west. bill kristol can you stay with us. allegations of sexism on capitol hill taurnd lot of heads last week. kasie hunt cyst down with senator gillibrand. agony for families of mh-70. tom costello is next with the latest on the investigation. latest on the investigation. you re watching morning joe. it s monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. centurylink your link to what s next. 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. hard to believe it was six months ago today when malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared while on a flight to beijing. search teams spent months looking for the plane in the southern indian ocean but so far have not found a single trace of the plane or the 239 people on board. for the families of the missing the past six months have been just torture. nbc s tom costello has been following the story from the very beginning and he join us now with an update. search teams are about to start a new search more than 1,000 miles off the coast of australia after spending the last few months mapping the ocean floor. this comes down to hard science and guesswork. it s a mystery that for six months has held the world in suspense. no word what went wrong. no word on the lives of the 239 souls on board. continuing the search we seem no closer to knowing what actually happens. this morning, there is little to go on in the search. and the 239 people on board. for the families, agony. sara s partner phillip wood is still missing. i miss his daily presence. i still feel him in my heart, so that will never go away. flight 370 disappeared on the red eye flight on march 8th. the last radio contact with the pilot sounded routine. soon after, the plane dropped off radar and stopped its data transmissions. investigators soon discovered evidence that someone had turned the plane around and flown it into the remote southern indian ocean. engineer, analyzing attempted satellite communications or handshakes with the planes believe it went down here, somewhere along this arc. but where? it s 23,000 square miles and the ocean is vast and deep. an intense search in the air and on the surface using an unmanned submarine found nothing. now experts have refined the search area again. and a new phase of the search is about to begin. we will not give up until we have found what s left of flight mh-370. for months, dutch and chinese ships have been mapping the ocean floor. soon, they ll use advanced deep sea sonar technology. but aviation experts can t understand why six months later not a single piece of wreckage has washed ashore. the fact we have not found debris is one of the largest mysteries to me. there s so many light objects in the airline, in the galleys, the seat cushions themselves. those things float for a very, very long time. we mentioned the indian ocean is deep. something like three miles deep in some places. if they ever do find the plane and recover the flight data from the saltwater, investigators say the data should still be good on the block boxes and that will hopefully help them solve the mystery of flight 370. thomas. we still wait. thank you. still ahead, if a prolonged fight against i m sis is imminent, how long will it be before members of the arab league join in? plus, it s not preis season anymore. we have the latest nbc news polls in the battleground states that could determine the senate. and storms in the southwest. we ll check in for the forecast. we asked you the name of teddy roosevelt s regiment in the spanish-american war. and the correct answer to that question is the rough rides. @kristin s was the first person to send us that correct response. congratulations to you. keep watching morning joe for the roosevelts, an intimate history. we re going to be right back after this. before the names theodore, eleanor, and franklin were indelibly etched into the american consciousness. and the course of human history was forever changed by their individual endeavors. a prominent family made a point of teaching the value of altruism, the power of perseverance, and the virtue of helping out one s fellow man.

i wasn t specifically referring to isil. i ve said that regional there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally. weren t focused on the homeland. because i think a lot of us when we think about terrorism, the model is osama bin laden and 9/11. and the point that i was you don t believe that these people not yet, but they can evolve. president obama speaking to chuck todd on meet the press. welcome back to morning joe. managing editor of the news website quartz bobby gotz join us. a year ago today? i m a politician. a year ago at this very moment, let me exaggerate but a year ago. janet nap pal toon nepal nap you in as a citizen. it was a wonderful event, she gave a wonderful speech. she d done it lots and lots of times, but because it was her last so bobby, moving to the president obama, bill and i disagree about some things. one thing we don t disagree about on the president s policy is if you re going to take s vien vienna, you have to take vienna. if you re going to beat the islamic state in syria, you have to go into syria. which i suggest is why he calls it isil instead of isis. we ve got to go into syria. i m not talking about boots on the ground. we ve got to figure out how to destroy isis in syria or it just doesn t matter. i think we re trying to figure out how to do it too. all the talk of sending drones and eyes in the sky. that is adding up to something. that something has to be a sort of air strike campaign. how important that it looks like the arab league s about to follow the lead of the uae? it s an important first step, but it s only a first step. the arab league always gives itself room to back off and that s something to worry about. they did not specifically endorse an air strike campaign, which i think would have been better. it s all talk of, you know, we re all in agreement that something needs to be done. what that something is, they give themselves some funability, which is something you worry about. is the president not moving in the right direction? i think he is. very slowly. but yes, the right direction. bill, let me ask you, what does the president need to say to get congress on board? we always talk about educating the american people. i don t want to see a congress sit back and say we ll just wait and see whether this succeeds or fails. doesn t congress need to be brought in on this too? going after isis? i think the president needs the authority to act but i would be all for congress authorizing use of force. i ve talked to republicans about this the last week or two. they re all for it. they re all for it? i mean 80% of them are for it. contrary to all this talk, ooh, the partisanship in washington is terrible, the republicans will support a strong action against isis. even the rand paul wing rand paul will be against it and i think he will that hurt rand paul going forward if he s against this? in something that most americans see as a real threat? i think it will expose the threat he s had his own views, he s held them pretty but core policy outside the main is hawkish. i don t think that underestimates the importance, the perception of having a coalition of arab states asking us to come in and help. i think that s a huge difference. so obviously if the president gives an address to the nation to explain his plan on wednesday night. and of course the question will be after that if he can get real support from across the world in the form of action. let s bring in nbc news chief global correspondent bill neely. what are you hearing about in terms of how this is looked at outside the u.s.? clearly got some support at last week s nato summit, but it s all very well getting support from britain, france, germany, i understand also denmark and australia. countries that really fear a blowback from those of their citizens who have gone to iraq and syria. quite another thing to get the support of arab states, particularly sunni states, that you have to get on board. the target is a sunni group, isis. so that s the real challenge. but it s quite clear that the military, the diplomatic and the political offensive is now in full swing. i suppose looking further down the line, you know, we come up with the same issues. what does victory look like? what does victory against isis in iraq look like? more problematically, what about syria? and what is the end game in syria? is it the defeat of assad or the defeat of isis or both? really, anyone in the coalition has worked out those things yet. colin powell expanded on, before you go in, you try to figure out how to get out. what does victory against isis look like? i m totally against the powell doctrine. that s why you re wrong. no, i am, you never act because you never know what things will look like. what does victory look like against isis. when does he say, mr. president, good job, he won, they lost. in 2008, a huge victory in iraq, people not slaughtering each other. in syria, crushing isis and helping those moderates who are there to you were one of those moderates. there are still some. i didn t ask you, who was, i m asking who are those moderates now. you don t know who they are until you get involved and try to help them. and then you re in. that s the thing about war. who were the moderates in the balkans. were you against that intervention? of course i was. they hated each other for hundreds of years. they ll just slaughter each other. are the balkans better off now? yeah, but it was a gamble at the time. the gamble paid off. more times than not, the gamble doesn t pay off. that s not a risk more times than not, if you don t take that gamble, you get the current situation. 200,000 people dead in syria. a horrible terrorist group metastasizing throughout the middle east. let s talk about the arab league. we were leading from behind in libya. we get the arab league on board. then actually got some things. for not only the united states but for the rest of the world. not only did the arab league endorse libya, they participated. the uae sent aircraft that were part of of that whole effort to create a no-fly zone which took the initiative away from gadhafi and allowed the rebels to beat him. something similar needs to be done here. the arab league has to join. not enough to endorse on the sidelines. arab planes have to be in the air. arab logistics need to be offered. and a much more clear mandate saying, yes, we agree, we need military action. can i just say every time somebody talks, you re always shaking your head, chris. no, look what happened, libya, we didn t intervene we didn t follow up and we didn t have troops there for stability and we didn t have aids. but the arabs couldn t have done it. i have no problem with having arab troops there. the problem with libya, people like you were right about this, if you re going to intervene, you have to intervene. we now end up with terrorists controlling parts of libya. that s the part of the powell doctrine, believe, if you re going to go in, go in, don t go in halfway. what can we expect from france so americans don t feel like we re carrying it on our own? isis may pose a greater threat to some capitals in europe than they do new york and washington. exactly. there are two parts to the question. number one, what can we expect of this countries in respect of iraq and then further down the line in syria. in britain, the debate has shifted from providing ammunition and sleeping bags to kurdish rebels in northern iraq to actually support for british air strikes. tornado planes have been flying recounsel sans missions. edging towards getting involved in actual air strikes. i think with germany, they have just broken a long-standing decades-long taboo and are supplying german-made ammunition to kurdish fighters in northern iraq. with all these countries, it s a tiptoeing process. the danger is, you ve got to be very careful what you re tiptoeing into. for example, the u.s. yesterday in striking anbar province, there were two firsts there. this is the first time u.s. planes have struck western iraq and anbar province is an absolute hornet s nest where there s been a war that s displaced half a million people. and secondly it s the first time u.s. warplanes have taken action solely in support of iraq s government. nothing to do with the yazidis or kurds. we ve got to be careful what we re tiptoeing into, all of the coalition countries. bill, thank you so much. we really wish it was like 11:00 or 12:00 where we are. what time is it in london right now? it is just after 1:00 in the afternoon. we need to do this. have lunch and then do morning joe. bill neely. i hear him say anbar province. around this table, we ve talked about anbar province. i ve been very critical of george w. bush. very critical of his foreign policy. but, boy, as bill said a minute ago, what we would do to go back and have the anbar province of 2008/2009 when george w. bush all over again. so many remarkable gains and it went away. to an issue here at home, president obama is being accused of playing politics with the plight of immigrants. over his decision to delay taking executive action on immigration reform. the president says he will not take action until after the midterm elections. despite previously promising he would address the issue before the end of summer. some say because it s an election year. but president obama says that s not the case. not only do i want to make sure that the ts are crossed and the is are dotted, but here s the other thing, chuck, i m being honest now, about the politics of it. this problem with unaccompanied children that we saw a couple weeks ago, where you had from central america, a surge of kids who were showing up at the border, got a lot of attention. and a lot of americans started thinking, we ve got this immigration crisis on our hands. and what i want to do, when i take executive action, i want to make sure it s sustainable. i want to make sure that the public s not behind you? it sounds a little bit you re concerned the public wouldn t support what you did. what i m saying is i m going to act because it s the right thing for the country. but it s going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what the facts are on immigration, what we ve done on unaccompanied children and why it s necessary. hispanics make up less than 10% of the electorate. colorado is the sole exception. in austin, msnbc contributor and fellow for the center of politics at ut s school of public policy, victoria desanto. what do you think motivated the decision to put it off? politics? could it be anything else in. i m going to go with politics here mika. we know that latino patience has been worn very thin. they re going to be implications here. let me give you some numbers. a recent poll asked, if the president doesn t take executive action, what is the ennethuse y sam going to be for you to vote? compare that to 87% would said we d be more enthusiastic. the reason here is that over two-thirds of the latinos know someone personally would is undocumented and a third of latinos have a family member who s undocumented so it s a very, very personal issue. it may not affect senate races but where we re really going to feel it is here in texas. wendy davis, they need that vote in order to go purple or blue and it s not going to happen. let me grab on to a point mark mckinnon said earlier. does the denial not help in terms of trying to garner support for the president but if we had more democrats in power we could get this done so could you just admit it? i think it adds insult to injury. we ve got to hold on to the senate. let me be honest with you. and then we re going to work forward in order to try to get immigration reform. latinos have been waiting since 2008 for a bold immigration move and nothing has happened. so at least be honest with us. vicky, thank you very much. mark mckinnon now, you have some new polls by no labels that look at the caucus and primary states of iowa and new hampshire. some interesting results. in iowa, you have hillary clinton, right? no surprise, hillary clinton leading by 30 points over her close rival, which is somebody would says they re not going to run. the interesting news i think is with the republicans, where in new hampshire, nobody is even in double digits. not jeb bush, not chris christie. we ve seen some real impact for christie here. other than mike huckabee who s at 13%. the new hampshire democratic primary, hillary clinton easily ahead there. let s go to the republican primary. absolutely fascinating in new hampshire, everybody in single digits. rand paul at 9%. ryan, perry, walk, 6%. jeb, 5, christie, 2. undecided, 44%. i ve never seen anything like that in the republican primary. it s great. the republicans usually have the front-runner. the guy who ran last time. he gets the nomination. the democrats tend to have races like this. they flipped this year. i think hillary clinton will be challenged actually. joe biden shouldn t be counted out. he s running a strong no, seriously. but i do think on the republican side, a totally wide-open race. mitt. he could come back in, i guess. here s the interesting thing people not on these lists, in my view, could come in. anyone could jump in. could jump in late. yep. yep. come on here s the interesting findings. yeah. are the attributes that people are looking for in the next president, it s not the typical sort of things tall, 6 4 , what? i think that would be good for a vice president. we offered up about 15 different attributes. like shares your values in foreign policy. what s at the very top? the problem is are they a problem solver. can they bring people together. let s get the simple stuff done again. it s about problem solving. we ve got a book out called just the facts. it s basically just the opposite of bill kristol. i do think someone said what s so fascinating is the problem solver. i was thinking this past weekend, bill, about ike, that drove a lot of i d deo logs crazy, but ike saw himself as a problem solver. how do we beat the nazis? he was not as ideological as a lot of people. but he was constantly obsessed with one thing, what works. that s a powerful signal. and who knows, maybe that means you spend more on infrastructure at the same time you go after teachers unions and public education. but you spend more on education and r & d. but you go after entitlements. that s a powerful message. top of the list. a problem solver. strength in foreign policy. people want to sense that someone can stand up to putin and isis and deal with those problems. and real sensitivity about the middle class, working class squeeze. i ve seen another poll, you might agree with this, the degree to which middle class and working class americans are worried about their future is really starting just reading about that in just the facts. very good. still ahead, senator kristin gillibrand talks about sexism on capitol hill. casey hunt has that interview. it was a wild weekend for hundreds of party goers this weekend. things took a turn for the worst when they tried to go home. plus, new footage from the domestic violence incident that got ray rice suspended from the nfl. we re going to go inside the elevator next. first, bill carrons with a check on the forecast. have you ever been inside the elevator with bill carron? oh, god, i can t be. he presses stop. good morning, everyone. out of southern california yesterday, we got drenched. hurricane norbert last week was off the coast of mexico. a lot of that moisture got sucked north. it s good that some portions of southern california picked up heavy rain. in arizona, some outflow caused a dust storm. it s just a big wall of sand that blows in quickly. there s the time lapse video of it in phoenix. yesterday, phoenix got the dust storm. today, we re getting drenched. we is a bad flooding situation right now in the area. flash flood warning. many roads are closed. phoenix only gets 8 inches of rain a year. in the last eight hours, they ve had 2 inches. that s a lot of flooding. i-10 is closed in a few sections. so, again, it s only 5:00 in the morning there, but the rain still going on. there s a good chance that your morning commute is going to have a lot of delays and a lot of road closures. also, raining today in southern virginia, coastal north carolina and south carolina s not pretty. it s going to rain hard the next two days. the biggest problems, again, phoenix this morning and the mid-atlantic. tomorrow, we ll worry about severe storms in the northern plains. you re watching morning joe. we ll be right back. you can eat that on weight watchers?

free beer. whatever, usa. from the huffington post.com. trying to barter his freedom in exchange for mowing the lawn. they heard movement in their living room. the homeowner fired warning shots. he then held the suspect at gunpoint while waiting for police. at which point, the burglar offered to mow their lawn for free if they agreed to let him go. how about i ll let you stay alive. you re in my house and i will not shoot you dead. that seems like, okay, i ll take that one too. what s next? we want to warn everybody out there. it s an update to the ray rice situation. this is tmz. from tmz sports. reportedly shows what happens the moments before the ravens running back ray rice was seen dragging his then fiance out of an atlantic city elevator. the video shows him in this physical altercation in which the fiance was punch pd twice. the second hit, that was enough to knock her out. rice then had to carry her out of the elevator. so that s the part where we had seen the images before, where rice was seen bringing his fiance out of the elevator. that was so let me get this straight. this guy is going to play football this year? yep. but a guy that smoked pot is banned for the year? a guy that took molly is, like, banned for more games? i m sorry, you know what, the nfl has to go back and revitt this. you re right, nfl, you screwed up. you screwed up bad. you know what, you don t get off that easily. he needs to be out for the year. do you understand, out for the year. this is more information. this is more evidence. did they have this? this guy better not play a football game this year. seriously. you re a disgrace. there was a two-game suspension. a two-game suspension? they ban a guy for smoking pot for a year and they re letting this guy play football this year? how do they not have this video? who knows where this was in the investigation. this was before the couple got married. it just doesn t matter. it just doesn t matter. if he even looks at a woman wrong, the rest of the year, he should be banned for life. any union that would defend this guy and any union that would stand in the way of him he smoked a little weed on his own, wasn t bothering anybody?

we spent a day in new york with senator gillibrand. in just a short amount of time in the senate, she s had to learn the hard way about passing laws and also about passing off pretty insensitive comments from her colleagues. it was pretty funny when a southern congressman told me as i walked down the aisles in the house channel bettmber, he said even pretty when you re fat. i was like, okay, thanks. following in hillary clinton s foot steps. as ambitious senator from new york and as a female politician, constantly graded and how she looks. how does she respond? like any true new yorker. you said f.u.? i had colorful language for him. casting herself as part of the next generation, not afraid to talk about the challenge, of running as a woman, instead of simply trying to run as a man. do you think feminism has become a dirty word? just like ambition. it s perceived negatively by so many people. all it is is someone who believes in quality for all. you ask them, do you believe in quality for all? they would say absolutely. would you call yourself a feminist? definitely. i m not afraid of words. gillibrand was a pointed to the senate in 2009 after clinton left to be secretary of state. at 42, she became the youngest serving senator. but acceptance didn t come easy. maureen dowd compared her to the overbeari ining blonde from the movie election. but gillibrand has built a reputation on capitol hill as a tireless advocate, especially for women. black home, she presses for science education for girls in brooklyn. more support for business owners in the bronx. and justice for victims of sexual assault. it should not include a 1 in 5 chance of being sexually assau assaulted. her military sexual assault bill fail and she had a public falling out with senator mccaskill. there s no rift. it was just a policy agreement. i can tell you, i disagree with my male colleagues all the time. people focus less on that? of course. for now, gillibrand says she wanted to help clinton get elected president. after that, who knows where her ambitions will take her. i think she s the most qualified die famic candidate you could possibly put forth from our party. i think she could be an extraordinary president. do you want to be president some day? no, no, i feel so lucky i get to do my job in the senate. well, casey, first great interview. she did very well in the interview. she s on morning joe tomorrow by the way. more questions about the book. what struck you, especially in terms of where she s going to play in the coming years? sure. i was struck by, especially in this book she s put out there, how forward she was in talking about some of these issues she s faced as a female senator. something people have sort of avoided talking about. it s sort of one of those dirty little secrets. you accept these comments come your way. i remember, she went to dartmouth with my brother mark and he always saw her as really great and also put the word ambitious along with that. i had lunch with her i think what was it just when she was elected i believe, weeks after. i walked out of there and i said, watch out for her. don t even think about underestimating her. because she s really ambitious. i saw it as a great, great thing. i think she s right though. i think we struggle with that word when it compaes she writes about how ambitioambition is something that s perceived as negative for women. if you talk to capitol hill, that s the reputation. she s done a very good job of it. what she s doing with her fund-raising and her pac has people taking notice. the way she handled the military sexual assault bill drew a lot of attention. actually the other senator you mentioned in there, kristin gillibrand and claire mccaskill, both ambitious, aggressive and they do good things with those qualities and that s something i want to see more of across the board in business and politics. no doubt. all right kasie, thank you so much. i m a feminist. in your own weird way. some day, i ll tell that story. all right, one day. all right. actress sosha mamet. bringing light to an issue that affects millions of women. musical chairs. fun, right?

no, i think that i think what you think pretty much. oh, that sounds like joe. from hbo s girls. he sounds like that yeah, exactly. the star of girls. co-star and glamour columnist zosha mamet. there we go. it s not spelled for anybody to do it correctly. from mika better brzezinski, that, two zs. so girls. and i love your column. thank you so much. you talk about your struggle with an eating disorder. uh-huh. i ve written a book about this. i m a mother of two girls closer to your age than mine. and it seems to me like the struggle might be a lot harder for young people today. i mean, i just think even, you know, the world that we live in and the way we re bombarded with advertising of this one very specific body type which i think that that ideal has definitely changed from, you know, when fashion became as big as it has. it s definitely morphed into something much more androgynous, much more why do you look at me when you say androgynous? no particular reason. but i want to hear about the moment when your dad confronted you and how that hit you. i know people can go to glamour and read the article as well. it really goes in depth in a deeply personal way. tell me about your dad and what he said to you at a moment that was kind of pivotal. it was absolutely a pivotal moment. all the doctors had told me that. it just didn t seem to be hitting home. when you have an addiction, it becomes something out of your hands. you really sort of you lose control in a way. he knows you. absolutely. what did your dad say? he came home one night and he grabbed me by the shoulders and he looked me in the eye and he said, you can t die. and it was just it was a really enlightening moment for me. i suddenly realized my addiction wasn t only about me. it had become something that made me not really care if i lived or died because i was powerless at that moment. i suddenly realized that it would affect my family. mike. your father is obviously david mamet. he is actually david mamet. david s idea of a great day is write like four movies a day, two books. how has his in addition to the huge impact he had on you, with the story you just told obviously, how has his presence in your life affected up got a future now. you ve got a career. has it affected you negatively, positively, both? he s my dad. he s a very talented man. he introduced me to a lot of incredible things as a very young human which opened my eyes to the possibilities of this world. he installed me with i hope is a pretty good work ethic. he s got a good one. what he s been involved in. i mean, that s it, i m out. let s talk about girls. you portray four different characters. how important is it to portray strength and flaws? but then also what you re working with, with your book and glamour and trying to bring women to new york city, the make your mark contest? yeah, yeah, i think something that we do on our show is very much in kind with that kind of what i ll talk about in just a second is we kind of try to portray women in the most honest light we can. girls in their early to mid-20s which is what we re playing. we really try to show them in as honest and realistic a way so we can really reach girls that age who going through these experiences and hopefully make them feel not so alone. i ve partnered with glamour and with behr with the make your mark campaign. got it right here. on the lovely pellegrino bottle it you want something lovely and refreshing. it s just starting to inspire women from 18 and over from across america to submit an essay about the various ways in which they make their mark on the world. and i think it s really just about, you know, helping women feel confident in the ways in which they specifically contribute to the world and to get creative about that. sasha, thank you very much for sharing your story in glamour. she said it right. you did. i ll never get it wrong now. really, really great job. thank you so much. thank you very much. coming up, steve harvey on success and how to overcome failure in life. he joins us on set next on morning joe. yeah, i think he s done pretty well. hi, are we still on for tomorrow?

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? her music has defined a generation. you make me feel like a natural natural woman we re talking about the legendary singer and song writer carol king. now there is a tony award winning broadway hit about her life. michael tammero joins us, and they have had a landmark regarding this. hollywood has been struggling as of late but booming. they target baby boomers and that is where the money is. motown, the carol king musical monday. monday they passed the production cost. i had a chance to go behind stage and see what makes this musical so great. guys, we re back stage in the dressing room of broadway star and tony winner star of beautiful. the tony, how does it feel? it feels pretty good. not going to lie. where do you keep it at home? on the shelf in my living room. so everyone can see it when they come in it is not the focal point of the room. you catch it if you really look for you. what is it like playing carol king? hard to describe it. she means so much to so many people. she is a legend. you don t want to screw that up. when you met carol king for the first time, what was her reaction like? i got emotional and started to cry a little bit. she was amazing, let me give her a hug and she looked me in the eye. i think we both had a wild moment. we have a show to do tonight. have a good time. thank you. i told mike i d take him on a tour. first off is the wig room. the show starts from like 1953 all the way through 1971? yes. the hair styles change. the bell bottoms get wider, there s costumes and wigs in the way they tell that story. let s go to the orchestra pit. here we are in the orchestra pit. you want to hear something special?

you re going to have to tell them your race. why do they want that? we re asking the same. judge napolitano is on the case next. the nfl scandals keep growing. two more stars benched yesterday and the nfl admitting to more mistakes. is this just the beginning? 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!

wow. math teacher laughing all the way to the bank after becoming the third person to win $1 million and a grand prize on wheel of fortune. wow. fox news alert for you now. a live look at this historic vote taking place right now in scotland as they decide whether to split from the united kingdom. that decision could hinge on a 350,000 undecided voters. how can their choice impact you at home? 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.

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?

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?

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?

[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.

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?

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?

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?

(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?

birthday party. that s it for today. we ll see you next week on fox news sunday. for this urgent. on a very busy day and night for news, i m harris faulkner, an american journalist has been freed in syria after being held for two years. she s now to be safe. let s first go to california. serious injuries, widespread damage across california s napa valley in the wake of a powerful earthquake. at this hour, parts of the historic wine country are under a state of emergency. some people were able to see this by camera. it awakened them. they were on the move. 6.0 quake striking early this morning with devastating force. six miles from the picturesque town of napa. this is the strongest earthquake to rock that part of california in 25 years. at least 120 people now reported hurt, some critically. structural and fire damage is massive in that area. at least 15 buildings now tagged inhabitable. in and around the city of napa, roadways are cracked. thousands of homes without electricity or water. we think it may take a whole week to get ever restored. we are going to go as quickly as possible, but it may take us that long. here s what they re dooling with. officials say one of the biggest concerns right now, ruptured gas line which could ignite more fires in the coming hours, especially after dark, as the earthquakes continue to push off aftershocks. adam housely joins us now from napa. adam, your hometown is where you are, one of the heaviest tourism areas in the nation. reporter: yeah, one of the busiest times of tour season. so basically most of the hotels and motels in this town were absolutely booked when this earthquake hit. i m going to show you some of the damage. you mentioned about six or eight downtown buildings have been tagged. that number has gone up significantly. there are hundreds and hundreds of homes that have major damage. these are this is basically a retirement mobile home park that would four of these burned to the ground. you can see six others damaged. the water main burst here, and it took a water truck basquely to fuel the fire fight this morning. they were here for hours. there s still some smoldering smoke as you walk around, but harris, we have driven all over the city since this morning. no matter went, you see cracks in buildings, bricks down, udrive by and see a how that looks normal, and you ll see the foundation even buckled. so there would be a lot of investigation that will take some weeks to figure out the entirety of the damage here. i m curious about the whole thing with water lines and ruptured gas lines. i know that sometimes you can t always smell this, and some of it has been treated and you can smell the natural gas. what is the situation? they re doing a pretty good idea of checking thousand. if you have any thought at all there might be a gas leak, a smell, sound, if you re not getting consistent gas service to your home or where you live, obviously called the pacific gas & electric, and the same with water. they think they have determined where the leaks are, but there s still a lot of to fix. it s eyes and ears for everybody. you have only so many technicians. i mentioned the personal connection that you have. in fact your family has businesses there. i know you sustained some damage there. tell me about the local economy. you mentioned this is the time for tourism to really burst. i can tell you i delivered groceries to this park since i was about 12, 13 years old. you know a lot of people here, so there s that element. when you go to the local businesses, whether it s my family grocery store, some video my brother gave me. the damage will probably by in excess of $100,000 just for them. i went to some businesses in downtown in napa. like taquerita rosita, and every soda, every bottle of sauce, everything is oregon. restaurants are trying to clean up. this is the height of tourism season. most will not reopen until tomorrow. some are buildings that have sustained major damage. the downtown napa revitalized the buildings. a lot of those buildings are no longer inhabitable or not fully inspected. so there s a lot of issue hugheser to deal with. the wine think s multibillion won t affect the harvest, but we still don t have the full report from the wineries, whether some of the barrels came down. more importantly it s about human toll. i can tell you, harry, i was walking in downdown about a week ago, and also in the morning, there were hundreds of people walking around. if this had happened about four hours later, the fatalities would have been much, much worse. on the three people who are listed in critical condition, a man, a woman and child at this time, adam we ll come back as the news warrants. thank you very much. and as is the case following most powerful earthquakes, the threat of aftershocks can continues days, week, even months after the initial jolt. our scientists on staff this evening, janice dean will join me. not a weather event, but the science of earthquakes has you concerned? absolutely, harris, they re already feeling aftershocks. i ve seen reports of 3.0, and we have a 50% chance of a large aftershot over the next couple days that could cause more damage. i ve heard totals of over 30 already in the napa area of small aftershocks, and there s three different categories, foreshocks, the main shocks, and the aftershocks that occur. taking a look at the classification. this was a strong equality. above 7.0 is major, 8 or greater is great, and you remember the quaem just off the coast of sumatra in 2004, that was 9.1 magnitude. so there s what we typically look for and categories. how often do we see a 6 to 6.9? around 134 times a year. greater than that, 15 for over 6, and then 8 or greater very rare. so this area could be experiencing aftershocks in the next couple days, next couple weeks. let s shift to the weather. a storm by name. tell me about it. this is cristobal. it s a tropical storm, the third named storm of the season. of course the bahamas is getting drenched right now. i do have in great news report. we are not expecting this to make a landfall across the u.s. we ll still see high surf. rip currents will be a concern, but it s going to remain mainly offshore. becoming a hurricane, our third of the season. quick mention, harris, we have severe weather to talk about this evening. we have a tornado watch in effect for parts of minnesota as well as active tornado warnings right here in the red shaded area. these are tornado warnings, so some of these cells are producing some rotation. we ll continue to monitor this situation, it s a busy, busy sunday. harr harris, back to you. i see st. cloud at the bottom of the area. that s not too far between the twin cities? there s brainard, of course, heavily populated areas, where we could see some damaging winds, hail and tornado threats. my old home. janice dean, we ll come back to you. the obama administration says an al qaeda affiliate took peter theo curtis near the syrian border about two years ago. officials now expect him to be reunited with his family. his freedoms just days after the horrific video we saw, the terror group isis posted a graphic video showing the behinding of james followy. dominic dediini-natale picks up story. apparently he going under the guise of teachers as english. that s how journalist often try to get into the country. so we ve had a second video. harris, you and i were talking about it earlier. the second has emerged in which he appears he was being held under duress. listen to this. i have a message for governments in france and america and england, across europe. it has been 20 days now. 20 days of contact he s the only person that can save me. my life is in very, very grave danger. i have three days, three days to live, three days. if you don t do anything, i m finished. i m dead. now, the family very much kept under wraps he was being held, which is why we re only seeing this video right now, but the family releasing this statement, saying that please know we are eternally grateful and we appeal to the captors of the remaining hostages to release them in the same humanitarian spirit that prompted theo s release. those that were holding peter are not necessarily the same ones holding the other u.s. journalists, one of whom has been threatened to be executed imminently. back to you. what we know about this group, this group, it actually had a split with isis and al qaeda, and they ve actually fought each other, if in fact that s the group that was holding him. what is the white house s role in the release of curtis? we don t know how direct it s been. they have a close relationship with the qataris. they have brokered all sorts of agreements including with you recently very controversial with the taliban. so we know they will have been operating on their behalf. john kerry saying the white house and u.s. government relieved, issues this statement which gives us an idea of perhaps bhofs involved. the united states reached out to more than two dozens countries, asking for urgent help to secure theo s reese release and the release of any americans held hostage in syria. we continue to use every diplomatic, intelligence and military toad at our disposal to find them and bring our fellow citizens home. in fact we understand they re holding 20 journalists in total. how many of those are american we can t actually confirm, but if the qataris do have any influence, and they are sunnis, so they may be able to reach them, there could be movements on that, but that really is a big prayer. back to you. great information, dom. we appreciate it. as one hostage was released, we re learning more about the man behind is the mask that swung the blade. what the u.s. is doing to hunt down this man you see. apparently, according to reports. he loved rap music so much, he posted his singing online. and victims in today s earthquake getting a ten-second headstart thanks to a seismic warning system. have you heard about this if lin negatively impact good bacteria?

. actually, this guy is not exactly a top isis leader. exactly. certainly the u.s. wants to get this guy, but one former u.s. intelligence tissues says the u.s. shouldn t focus solely on foley s killer. it doesn t really matter who the executioner was. this was the group that killed james foley. this order came from the very top of the group. his egyptian-born father was expedited on terrorist charges in 2012. allegedly a close associate of osama bin laden, and u.s. officials believe he was connected to the 1998 bomb us of u.s. embassies in africa. molly, thank you very much. james foley s hometown is paying transcribed to butte to him. remembers james as a loving and caring man who went out of his ways to help those less fortunate. they called it a mats of healing, hope and for peace. speakers praised foley s determination to report on the victims inside of syria, but the ceremonies were not limited to just here in the united states. a crowd also gathered in erbil in northern iraq for a special memorial service. most people there never knew him, better wsh appalled by his death. the recovery is already under way in the golden state, but pretty soon it would be darkness setting in. they have to watch for dangers as aftershocks continue. the strongest earthquake to strike the bay area in a quarter century rocked napa valley today. our team coverage continues from the scene, next. and president obama is returning to the white house tonight following two weeks vacation on martha s vineyard. what will his first crisis be that he ll deal with? there s so many to choose from, unfortunately. our political insiders are coming up. can chime in while you tune in. get in on the conversation on twitter. also like me on facebook. and we ll read your tweets and postings, state close. [ 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. start a team. join a team. walk to end alzheimer s. visit alz.org/walk today. yep. but it s not just a tablet, it s really a laptop. it s a surface pro 3, with a touchscreen. well it can t be as fast as my mac. sure, it can. and it is. but you probably can t plug anything into it. i have a usb mini display port. plug away. and this is my favorite it s the kickstand. so you re saying it does more than my mac? well technically, you said it. well technically, you said it. with a newon: get a volkswagen turbo.ed reward card why are we so obsessed with turbo? because we like giving you power, but we also like giving you fuel efficiency. like the sporty jetta. and the turbocharged passat tdi® clean diesel. okay.. and the iconic beetle. and the powerful tiguan. okay you can t forget the cc. guys, this is going to take a while. avo: get a $1,000 turbocharged reward card on new 2014 turbo models or lease a 2014 jetta se for $169 a month after a $1,000 bonus. boy, it has been a busy hour. a terrifying day for people in northern california. 6.0 magnitude. some six miles from the city of napa, sending people running from their homes. at this hour, parts of california s historic wine country are under a state of emergency. the damage extensive, the threat may be far from over. let s go to will carr in napa valley. i do want to start with the human elements. we have three people in critical condition, will. and 120 morn that had to go to the hospital for various things. so it really had a big impact. a number of people injured. i want to show exactly why on the bottom floor, there was a restaurant. at you work your way up to the second and third floors. you can see at the very top where the brick walls just came flying down. right now there s pieces of metal being blown around in the wind. everybody is having to stay back, because authorities of worried that the roof could come flying down at any point. home, buildings, businesses, almost every block of napa that i ve gone through has some kind of destruction. for trailers in the area were completely destroyed, it sparked numerous fires. 120 people to the hospital like i mentioned, harris, three people with the critical injuries. three people are telling us they feel very lucky that more people weren t hurt or killed. will carr, live from there. at the top of the hour there s a scheduled news conference from napa. we heard from them the napa city manager talking about the cut gas lines and how dangerous it could be overnight as the darkness sets. we re also monitoring other situations. we have a lot of news tonight, so stick with us. we re going to do a second hour. for those of you clamors for the next three gentlemen, dreams do come true. president obama is returning to the white house after vacation on martha s vineyard. he certainly will have a lot waiting on his plate when he gets home, including how to stop isis. the fox news political insiders are here. you can join the conversation here #frw for fox report weekend, baby. john leboutillier former congressman from new york. pat caddell, a former pollster for jimmy my carter, and and th to the good lord, a freed american journalist. it is great when a hostage is leg go. we re all happy, about you now we ve got to find out in light of what happened with bergdahl, and giving we think a lot of money and firch taliban guys to get bergdahl out, and then we allegedly wouldn t pay to get mr. foley out, the poorman who got beheaded. did we reverse again and pay to get this guy out. you re talking about bowe bergdahl, five prisoners let go at gitmo. let s remember, they were the leaders in afghanistan of the taliban effort. these were not minor people. these were their leadership. the ga has done it was done another incidence of that, and john s raised the right question here. we know that qatar we know john kerry reached out to people begging them to help us. i think they were concerned about another beheading, doing something to alleviate the bad news isis said they would do do, doug. the personal dimension, pat and john have covered extremely well. i would focus what you re reported from northeast syria about the taking of the assad s regime of the last real base. we re in a war with isis. it is a multinational war. we are learns that isis may have recruited hundreds of americans. while the beheadings are unspeakably tragic, and john is right, we should be very, very pleased that a life was saved we are in a fight that involved our freedoms, or democracy and our core values. that s what the president will take up, i hope, tomorrow in the oval office. besides that base you mentioned in syria, also the airport in tripoli was taken over today. the chinese really buzzed one of our planes really close. yeah, that didn t get a lot of play this week. how can you? we kept describing we have a huge stove with all these pots bogeys. the bottom line, with all due deference to doug is that people, leaders in the world, believe they can take obama s measure and push is any way they want. that is the real problem going on. i think one of the turning points was 2 1/2 years ago the president was at a summit conference and medvedev, then the president of russia was there. you remember they caught them talking on a live mike, and the president says to medvedev, after i m reelected, will be able to be more flexibility. i wonder how flexible he s feeling now? but flexibility in the minds of a guy like putin is a bad thing. look what s happening. i know we re jumping around, but i asked the question before the commercial break which crisis do you start with when you come back from vacation, right? you ve got an estimated 18,000-plus massing at the border from russia into eye crane, you re putting their gear at the border. they were supposed to send 35 trucks last week with aid. ukraine tried to keep them at a check station, because they weren t trusting it, like a trojan horse. they spent more than 130 trucks from russia into ukraine. that s like an invasion. nato said on friday, right, doug? that there were artillery pieces in the ukraine manned by russian uniforms. potential we re told 10:00 p.m. eastern, air force one will touch down or so, and he ll be back from vacation. what do you hit first, pat? i think the first thing is isis. the defense the group that he described in january is the junior varsity, the jv team, is anything but. i mentioned this earlier in the week on another program during the day that we had to, i think, in syria, look, we cannot allow the isis in syria. we saw the base taken today. you have what we had in vietnam, which is the equivalent of a sanctuary. that s where the ammo dumps are. that s where the base troops are, and the pentagon is already pushing to hit them in syria. second, can they get any coalition support? they ve got to help the kurds. we need to step push some of our allies we need turkey to prevent isis from getting into syria and iraq. the president has to lead. he s got to lead. on both crises at the same time. he said during the campaign, i can multitask. can i ask a question? the president says the people are war weary. i m looking at the facebook page. one says isis should be killed and blown up. are people ready for us to go to war? or is the president right? i think with all due respect, erica is right. it s one thing to fight a foreign war in afghanistan or iraq, harris, where there s no great or immediate connection to the united states and our freedoms and liberties, but the beheadings send a message that we are all at risk. indeed the use of a executioner with a british accent under scores that point. pat and john are right. we need a strategy for our foreign policy, as john mccain said today on i believe it was fox news sunday he s quite detached, as senator mccain said, and we need a strategy of engagement to take on isis, to stop the russians and rally or allies. the reason the president has been so reluctant, again leading from behind as they like to say, is he s worried about his constituents and the democratic party, just as the white house is sending three people to the funeral tomorrow in ferguson for the young man that was killed. by the way, as you and john pointed out, think of the last time they sent three aides to one of our soldiers who died. they re worried about the minority politics. they re worried about their liberal base. they re worrd about this, and the president has gotten caught, because everyone now is worried about i was just going to say there s bipartisan concern now. you said leading from behind. what that brings up in my mind is shepherd. that s great if you re sheep. i don t know. i just thought of that. we re going to come right back. we ve got a lot of place on social media. if you can t get it all in now, second hour we re going to do a total block just social media, but i have some tweets and facebook posts to get to. we ll continue the conversation. stay close.

can we roll that? then you want your thoughts. no, we ll come back to it. some words from the chairman of the select committee on intelligence really interesting. hopefully we ll get he basically says isis could already be here in the united states. do we have it? no. some could be american citizens. they are, in eye says. one of problems is it s gone unabated for nearly two years. that drawing people across europe, even the united states to go and join the fight they are one plane ticket away from u.s. shores. that s why we are so concerned about it. pat? i think we had it a couple weeks ago, an isis fighter was taken into custody at jfk. i called him the advance team already. who knows how many are in here or coming up southern border, or anywhere. but yes, i just want to say parenthetically yesterday we were at yankee stadium with our boss, where we were having political insiders and baseball insiders. at one point, joe torre day, you want to all of us, who do you think the american people would rather have viewing with getting something done? barack obama or joe torre. everyone in the owners box cracked up, because they knew the answer. this is the problem with nonleadership. qpotus doesn t realize all the nations are wading for us to go in. we have a definite enemy now, not smoke. the first thing the president did wrong is the day of the beheading, he should have at least canceled that day of vacation. i mean, make it look like within five minutes, he was on the links already. meanwhile, david cameron gave it up and went back. they thought the man on the tape was british. i know, but that was before they had even identified him. but the victim is an american. if there was ever a precipitating event for the president of the united states to switch strategy, this is it. he stayed in martha s vineyard. we have six seconds. k.y. writes did isis get the weapons too?

we have to ask, if we re going to another war in iraq, pat said, they have to do it smartly, but we also have to all share in any more wars. we can t put it all on the same soldiers and families every five years. so let s have a draft, put everybody in, have a tax to pay for it, and let s have shared sacrifice. how many people want that? you see leadership, if the president wanted to lead when i said do it smartly, we could use, as we did in afghanistan, we could bring in allies, turkey, this the gulf states, their troops, we have special forces troops. we didn t put large units on the ground in afghanistan when we knocked the taliban off. airpower, we could do this smartly, but we need allies, and we need a leadership, as you said, a president who can not only lead the united states. look, the british, germans and french are already showing how concerned they are, and the first time we could rally if the president weren t so weak and weren t spending all of his time just sending images. of being on a golf course laughing and joking. and with you ukraine, the same thing. same allying, right, doug?

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?

sweet grass county, montana. really? sweet grass! because you re too far east for the wildfires but they don t get the tornadoes. what is the most dangerous place to live in america? ocean county, new jersey because of tidal surgeries and storms. what is the most dangerous intersection in missouri? flux county, pennsylvania. why is that? we are crunching this whole issue is a celebration of big data and amazing what we can now find out. i had a huge team of people crunching all of this data and that is from the national transportation safety board. how many photos are we going to take? we are a people now with digital photos. everyone takes a million photos. how many photos will americans take in a year? 880 billion photos. are you kidding me? 880 billion. 880 billion photos! wow. when do men lose their virginity?

i i i i would say down past up from the third base dugout toward left field. we charted in a bunch of stadiums, in citifield section 110 and at&t park in san francisco section 101. on time.com we have the interactives you can look how safe your county is where you live. when are we going to discover aliens? 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?

[ 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.
