wbr id= wbr0 /> we are doing our entire living room in stainless steel. very good. good morning, everybody. tuesday, october 7th. look at that times square. it s buzzing or still is. with us on set, we have associate professor from columbia school of university, along with willie, joe and me. /b> wbr-id= wbr600 /> yeah. what s up? we need to talk about what we ll wear, before we wear it. this is like just get it out of the way. a holiday party. i ve got to change. it s still october. what s going on? halloween i don t like this. this is not going to work. this is not going to work. i m sorry. can you do i m going to change. hold on. i ll be right back. you read the news. i ll be right back. no, please don t change. i like that sweater. it doesn t look like it will walk away. it doesn t look dirty. i m going to get another garanimals going on. that s the first time he actually wore a different sweater. all right. well, okay. he s gone. let s do the news, shall we? willie, dorian? i can t believe it. i like the holiday look. i thought he looked good. you know? just trying to mix it up a little bit. okay. if you believe the latest polling, allison lunder gram grimes has a real chance at unseating the top republican in the senate. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads senator mitch mcconnell 46 to 44%. a month ago, mcconnell was up by eight points in the nbc news maris poll. that s not the only race by the way where democrats are showing strength. so we re seeing this in a couple of other key places. north carolina, kay hagen, has a four-point lead on tom tillis. still pretty close, but still leading him. the race in kansas already starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts. he s down by 10% to independent greg orman. in colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge on cory gardiner. that s close to a tossup. gardiner was leading by as much as eight points. and jeanne shaheen is now leading over scott brown by seven. and in iowa where joannie ernst was leading by six, she is tied with democratic bruce braley. i don t know. you think the president is such a hindrance as sort of the narrative has been, dorian. yet, we are seeing something, potentially happening here. if you believe these polls. right, you know, we haven t seen the clintons in action yet, by the way. well, we re going to talk about them. good point. so that ll make a difference. but this it s hard to disentangle is this an anti-incumbency wave or potential wave or is this something that the democrats are doing in terms of their campaign strategy that republicans aren t? grimes, that s particularly remarkable. it started to slip away and then you saw mcconnell get some distance. so she s closed that gap now with a month left to go. as you say, that whole campaign for mitch mcconnell has been about pairing her with president obama. yeah. now, here she is tied. i find that to be extremely interesting to watch. in alaska, mark begich has been losing ground. and tom cotton has a slight edge. and louisiana senator mary landrieu is down by six points to republican bill cassidy. there we re seeing a fight there for senator landrieu s life. the comeback kid though, as you mentioned is looking to help democrats in his home state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for democratic senator mark pryor. and gubernatorial campaign mark ross his former driver. he urged them to reject the republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. thank you. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races they re saying you may like these guys, but you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise your last shot. it s a pretty good scam, isn t it? i may wander and groan, but i may never be far from home. you re in my heart and you ll always be arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don t vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. vote for the legacy and you ll be happy a month from now. thank you and god bless you. boy, he s something isn t he? willie geist yes you are. could he be any happier? getting to please don t do the face scratching. don t do it. and how about mitch mcconnell, huh? he s down. yes. i mentioned that at the top of the show when you walked away. [ laughter ] that was great. we were chatting about that. i was excited about your reaction and you left. you just left. i m going to do that. let me try that. me too. why? i thought we looked good. because i didn t want to hear andy williams holiday song in my ear. we were talking before the show as we were coordinating our sweaters yeah. if you look what s happening with mcconnell and we were out asking what were the polls going to look like after the beheadings? after barack obama went out golfing. after the beheading. specifically. and now we re starting to see, like a big turn around in kentucky. you look in north carolina, big turn around, republicans were sure a month ago this is a wave election. it may still be a wave election. you just don t see the evidence of it out there. in fact, democrats are doing so much better now than they should be doing. and republicans now are going to lose kansas? what do you make of kentucky though? i don t see it as sort of related to isis. do you? i mean, is that what s happening here? well, this is all democrats were hurt a month ago by barack obama s seeming obliviousness to what was going on with isis and the jv comments and the golfing after. but i think you re starting to see the races go back to sort of their set point. and the set point is, let s just say it, a lot of kentucky people can t relate to mitch mcconnell. they may not agree with grimes on a lot of issues. she and other candidates have run a smart campaign, distancing themselves from the president, right? so as the president as the former president bill clinton said in arkansas yesterday this is not a vote for barack obama. this is a vote for mark pryor or lundergren grimes. this should have republicans worried for 2016, by the way. because they have a lot more seats to defend in 2016. on clinton s comments, they were interesting too. as dorian points out, he said this is two more years of president obama. don t worry, it s only two more years, but these guys are applying for six-year jobs. right. don t make this about president obama. maybe if you want to read a few things into that, there could be somebody else he s very, very good. if you talked to any republican strategist six months ago, a year ago, listen, a month before the election to an independent candidate. and there won t be a democrat in the race, you re losing north carolina, you re going to in some polls you re going to be losing louisiana. arkansas is going to be split down the middle. i can tell you as a republican we re screwed. iowa is tied. iowa is tied. by the way, i m sorry, the democrat out in iowa is a clown. i mean, democrats say quietly that guy is a clown. he s ill-fit for candidacy. he goes to texas trial lawyers, hey, the last thing we want is somebody from iowa dumb farm base is what he s saying running committees. joannie ernst against the candidate? clearly, iowa voters are thinking something else now. i don t know. i think if you look at the trend, it s all decidedly against the republicans right now. there are exceptions but go to scott walker, a guy i like very much. who was, you know, the great hope for a lot of conservatives like myself, he may not even win this year. well, he s being investigated for corruption scandal. go a state over to michigan, one tough nerd. you know, the governor of michigan. a year ago, everything looked great. now, he s on the run. this is and here s the thing. this is what republicans need to understand. i have been saying you have to stand for something. you just can t be against president obama and if the republicans can t win, and reince priebus will say this, if the republicans can t win in 2014 when everything is breaking their way, when they are fighting on in red states, then in 16 all the senate fights will be in blue states, plus the presidential race is going to be especially ugly. yeah. let me get one other headline in here. officials are confirming the first case of ebola to be contracted outside of west africa. a nurse in spain is in stable condition at a hospital this morning after testing positive for the deadly virus. officials say she cared for two spanish priests who both died from ebola. meanwhile, the parents of freelance nbc cameraman ashoka mukpo said he s in good spirits after arriving in omaha for treatment. meanwhile, dr. nancy snyderman and her team arrived in the united states last night on a charter flight and were checked by a health official upon arrival. all are feeling well, in good health. they re deemed low risk, but will be staying home and monitoring their temperature for the remainder of the 21-day period recommended by health authorities. and in dallas, the man being treated for the ebola virus remains in critical condition. we have learned thomas eric duncan is being given an experimental drug that was approved by the fda. president obama says his administration is working on increased screening for ebola at airports here in the u.s. and overseas. it comes as a new pew research poll finds nearly 60% of americans have either a great or fair amount of confidence the government could prevent an ebola outbreak in the united states. but there s a sharp divide among parties. 69% of democrats share that confidence. while 51% of republicans have little or no confidence in the u.s. government in terms of how it could stop an outbreak. i think screening is going to be difficult. i don t know how they ll do it, because it s not just about cutting off flights if they go a step further. flights coming in from all sorts of different countries and flights going back. willie, what do you make of the poll, the republicans they don t trust it looks like it s about president obama. it s just a blind referendum. it s kind of strange that that that became a political question. i think it s a lot of things. obamacare, irs. a lot of things that have kind of made us think i agree. i think democrats feel the same way about government. if you asked them how is george w. bush handling the outbreak you d see that flip. this is political. it s strange. about ebola? and i guess at the local level versus the federal level especially since president obama s been in office. so that s not unusual. it s just the broad trends. but it is strange around ebola. it s not an explicitly political question. and the bigger question of whether people are losing faith in institutions we talked about for some time. anyway, we have a big show today. did you see chris matthews is dropping by to say hello? i can t wait. i can t wait. you two be nice now. all right. still ahead this hour, why you may look like a member of the courts militia if you stop at h&m if you shop at h&m. have you ever shopped there? i was there yesterday for the sweater. the kids love it. i can t believe you changed in the middle of the show. and plus an update, the bubble man. he is safe on land. but what about the bubble? you re watching morning joe. we ll be right back. what s wrong with that? it s ok that your soup tastes like my homemade. it s our slow simmered vegetables and tender white meat chicken. apology accepted. i m watching you soup people. make it progresso or make it yourself [ 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. holy cow. like a cashew? okay. wow. first time i heard that expression. well, so we have we re reading stories from local no, time to look at the morning papers that you care about. the los angeles times, pope francis has called a meeting of 200 cardinals and bishops in rome to consider controversial issues for the church. including divorce, contraception and sexuality. no topic is off limits and the holy father has encouraged attendees to speak openly and freely. they ll discuss the survey of catholics worldwide which many feel that the church is out of touch with their needs. new york times t waldorf astoria hotel will be sold to a chinese insurance company of course it will. for nearly $2 billion. one of the highest prices paid in a hotel sale. the landmark hotel which has hosted social gatherings will undergo a big renovation. the company plans to return the 47-story building to the original art deco style. h&m has come under fire for a khaki jumpsuit which many say resembles the uniforms worn by the female kurdish militia. i think it s fetching. what the heck is this story? so far reaction would you wear that? i kind of like that, mika. i don t think i could pull it off. but if you could, would you wear that? sure. the one on the right, with the gun and the hat. i could do that. the reaction has been mixed with some saying it celebrates the females who are currently fighting the islamic state in syria, but others say it is insensitive. what? h&m spokesman i know the designer was not thinking kurdish militia. come on. move it on. i m not reading it, it s stupid. that s stupid. anyone who would argue with that has no life. and i read the delaware news journal every morning. then you already read this story. the police have arrested the mother of a 4-year-old after the kid showed up to her day care with a backpack full of heroin. what? not good. the little girl was caught handing oh, my gosh. handing out packages of drugs. no! to her classmates, thinking it was candy. the mother has been charged with endangering the health what? heroin? what do you send them to school with? coke. diet coke. he loves it. he gets him buzzing around. mm-hmm. little jack. don t say that. not right. just joking. just joking. the telegraph stop it, willie. this is important. i don t know what that means. michael bloomberg was given an honorary knighthood by the queen of england. the british embassy said he was granted the honor due to his entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors. don t call him sir mike. bloomberg will not use the word sir because he s not a british citizen. thank you for clarifying that, mika. okay. go to new orleans. a collision between a train and a big rig has left two rail workers injured. thank think no one was injured. a truck was stuck on the track and here it comes. oh, no, not good. the train cut the trailer in half. the driver of the truck escaped unharmed. i with wish we could show that in slow motion. the train s conductor and engineer suffered minor injuries. residents have been evacuated due to concerns over a gas spill. my goodness. incredible. all right. coming up next, voters are still hungry for gun laws despite it getting little to no interest on the campaign trail. and joe biden defended by the editorial board that s standing up for the vice president ahead. don t go away. we may have another outfit change. no, no fashion changes. nothing. we ll be right back. stop!

[ cheers and applause ] i that s just not funny, actually. yeah. i watched the first two, funny. but when it kept going? that is just tremendous. whoa! scary. okay. so let s do the must reads. we have a bunch to get to here. the wall street journal, joe biden s apology tour. and this is what the paper says. mocking joe biden is a national sport, but today we come to defend him. the vice president spent the weekend apologizing to middle eastern strongman for his comments about syria, but he s apologizing to the wrong people for the wrong reason. they did arm extremists in syria. if mr. biden is feeling contrite he ought to apologize to the syrian and the american people. for three years the obama administration sat on its hands in syria as the moderate army was marginalized on the battlefield, isis and others moved in. dorian, what s your take, is that true? this is the 111th apology tour he s gone on. that s his trademark, speaking honestly in a field that it s hard to do that. sure. in terms of the actual apology, i don t think he needs to do that. but the editorial is interesting because there s an issue to be raising, what s our relationship with the previous ally in terms of the rebel forces in syria? and why? i understand he has to be diplomatic, but why apologize to turkey? turkey should be apologizing to us. turkey, if they continue to act this way should be kicked out of nato. turkey should be called out for what they are. well, when is the president in turkey going to apologize to the united states for having isis on his doorstep? and he s quite close to having to call nato 911 to rescue the turkish border. that s right. all right, let me get two more on this while we re on it. this is i ll go to the wall street journal again actually because senators john mccain and lindsey graham penned a piece. remove assad. how can we arm and train 5,000 syrians and expect them to succeed against islamic state without protecting them and their families? from the assad s air strikes and bombs or expect moderate groups to take advantage of u.s. air strikes if we do not coordinate or communicate our operations with them? this is reportedly not happening. instead, mr. assad is exploiting u.s. air strikes to kill the very people we want as our partners. this is not just a recipe for failure. it is immoral. willie, okay, how do we do it? how do we invade syria and take out assad? how do we how do we do that? well, we have swung in a year from saying we wanted to get rid of assad to now kind of supporting people who are helping assad. we are fighting the people he s fighting inside the country. what void is created? i don t think people are talking about this, how is the assad regime responding to what? we have gone into his air space and launched military strikes in here. what s his reaction, is there any coordination, what s going on between us and him? so we have this right now, it s right. he s like, go ahead. again, for lindsey and senator mccain, i would ask, we go in, let s say we take him out. what does syria look like in a decade? i d like them to answer the question. i m sure maybe one of them will. like to answer the question. would the middle east be safer today with saddam hussein in power or out of power? at what point do we start judging characters in the middle east by one very simple question. do they want to kill people in the united states of america or do they want to be left alone in their open countries? it s that simple. saddam hussein did not have plans to blow up america. no. al qaeda did. isis does. saddam was never coming here. yeah, i know there s talk about a possible, you know, possible assassination attempt against 41. you can ask the same question though about as horrible of a human being as he is, does assad want to blow up buildings in washington and new york? i mean, and if he doesn t, who is going to replace him? possibili possibly these are questions that we don t answer before firing. i want to read part of the new york times editorial on ebola because it points to one of the reasons why it s so complicated to just sort of deny access and sort of siphon off an area of the world. they write in part this, top health officials are strongly opposed with good reason to take the more extreme step of banning all travel to the united states from guinea, liberia and sierra leone where the epidemic is concentrated as several prominent republicans like louisiana s governor bobby jindal have recommended. that could actually hamper the battle to contain the epidemic abroad. the first line of defense against the disease in part by leaving americans who are risking their lives to contain the epidemic stranded in africa, with no way to return home. if volunteer workers can t return home, they may elect not to go in the first place. that s weakening the fight against the epidemic. that s a silly argument. i don t think it is. that s a silly argument. you do not want to it to explode there. that s silly. why? because you go, do you have an american passport? thank you. this is a false choice. to say, well, we can t ban people coming from west africa. that aren t aid workers here. i m not recommending we do it. i am saying we need to ask the question. and that this is this is why there s not a real discussion on this, because dorian this is a false choice to say somehow we aren t advanced enough to see who has an american passport and we allow them to come back, versus somebody like the gentleman that came back to dallas? all right. but i m going to defend that editorial, joe, because the premise is that the there s an incentive. there s a signal that i would send to potential people that would go over. your plan sounds just fine to me. yes, maybe we could carve it out so that only american aid workers could get back in. but to a lot of people they just hear we re banning all people coming from west africa. that creates an incentive for people not to want to do good and go over and help. i think the aid workers, all the aid agencies, would be sending people over there, mike, would again, they would know if they were able to come back. but there s a larger issue here and it gets into what we were talking about earlier. it gets into turkey and syria and saudi arabia and qatar. it s us. the world needs looks to us, to the united states for everything. where are the other countries? every country in the world can be affected by the ebola virus. that s true. you can carry it ships. you can it can leave by sea. it can leave by air. now, if you re in liberia and you have even a scintilla of evidence that you or a member of your family have the ebola virus, where are you going to go? you re not going to want to stay in liberia. you ll want to go to the united states. you ll want to come to the united states of america. so the larger universe depends on us for so many things that we should start using our influence and say to other countries, come on, come on. and the international response has been so slow and so yes. just the world health organization it has been absolutely scandalous. i just this op-ed you re talking about, in the new york times i m not saying put a wall up and don t let anybody come over from west africa. i just want a better argument. that s not a strong argument at all. you can allow aid workers to go over and to come back. and i just i want to know what s the argument for having people from liberia and the other affected countries not coming to the united states. unless they pass a really rigorous screening process. because again working on new if i had a child that had ebola i would figure out how to get to the united states. i would lie on every form. uptick screening process. what are we going to have at airports? you can t have the tsa people like two or three tsa people instead of one tsa person. you need nurses and doctors at the airports. the real problem, you have to have them camp out for 21 days. right. so even the screening process seems to be a nonstarter in many ways as well. up next, yesterday s ground breaking decision by the supreme court by not making a decision at all. plus, chris matthews will be with us at the top of the hour. more morning joe next. when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes?

oh, it s a sweeping day. it s a ground breaking moment. i think it s a moment last year with the windsor decision and the striking down of the defense of marriage act, we hit an undeniable tipping point. i think yesterday is the undeniable no going back point. it s really extraordinary. well, isn t there wouldn t it have been extraordinary if the supreme court actually decided to take the cases and rule on them? there s still ambiguity out there, right? we have to pick up the other 15 states, no doubt about that. i will say that the court s decision to deny review in all five cases and to now have the three circuit court rulings stand and to have marriage now immediately in another 11 states was not something any of us anticipated. but the momentum that that signals i think what the court is essentially indicating by declining review is that it is confirming that these circuit courts are getting it right. i think that s huge. but you said what you think, you re guessing which allows in another again, i m not knocking you. obviously if i were in your position and i took your position, i would be excited about it. everybody is saying this is a glorious day, but even your morning, you re saying i think what the court is saying, but this still allows another what, 25 states to ban same-sex marriage, right? well, it has 15 there will be 15 states that will not be states that recognize the right of same-sex couples to marry or perform those marriages itself. but you have to agree that this is a sweeping momentum shift and we had momentum before and now it s momentum like turbo charged. and i can t imagine a situation i think this is a clear signal to the remaining circuit courts that the where the court is on the ultimate question. because they re not going to have a ruling like this that they know will be so sweeping and then take it away. they re in our corner, they re ready to rule then we that moment comes. but they re happy to let this play out. joe, i want to show you the response from republican governors, but governor pence,ly always believe in the importance of traditional marriage and abide by the rule of law. under our system of government, people are free to disagree with the court decisions but not to disobey them. governor walker says for us, it s over in wisconsin. the federal courts have ruled that this that this decision by this court of appeals decision is the law of the land and we will be upholding it. well, again, it was again for proponents of same-sex marriage yesterday was a great day. but it s not a slam dunk, kate, obviously until the supreme court rules at least five justices on the united states supreme court rule that you are a a state is violating the equal protection clause if they ban gay marriage. well, no, that s a really important point. and we are one country. it is an untenable situation that we will have couples who will be married in wisconsin and if they if their car rolls across the state line, their relationship will not be recognized. that is obscene. so that that has to change. let me ask you, why do you think what s your gut on why the justices were afraid and they were. the justices did not want to touch this case. what s your gut? just your politics aside and your beliefs aside, as a legal analyst, why did the court shy away from ruling on this case? well, i think there are a couple i mean, i can t read the tea leaves any better than anyone else, but i think there are two reasons. one, they decided two really important cases for the lgbt community just last term. the windsor ruling and the ruling on prop 8. and the second thing, this is like really from my first year in law school, there s no split in the circuits. every circuit fourth, seventh, tenth, all ruled in favor of marriage equality. i think if you go back to the classic reasons why a court would take a case for review, they want to settle a question among which there is disagreement. you know, ginsburg signalled this in a law school speech she gave a few weeks ago. it was the first time she laid out this possible scenario. i have to say a lot of my law school professor friends pretty much said to me, kate, that s how it s going to be. i actually think in some ways this is brilliant because what it will signal, as more people live with the reality of same-sex couples getting married in their communities and their marriage is still fine, the community is fine and they re celebrating love and they re seeing the relationships strong and nurtured by the government, people love it. it s fine. kate, thank you. next hour good to have you. next hour we ll speak to a former law clerk to justice scalia on this issue, ed whalen. we visit a place of unbridled joy born out of unspeakable tragedy. more morning joe in a moment. 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. so why treat your half mouth any differently?

it s just i m a little reluctant to try new things. what s wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah. i do. try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. it began as an act of defiance, a way to turn a tragedy into a symbol of hope. 26 playgrounds have been built to honor the 26 victims of the sandy hook elementary school shooting. each one uniquely celebrates the children or teachers who lost their lives. brian williams brings us that story from the site of the 26th and final play ground. reporter: on a startlingly beautiful october day, happy children swarmed all over the brand new playground in connecticut, dedicated to the principal who died trying to protect her students at sandy hook elementary school two years ago now. after the ceremony and the flyover and the honor guard, there was raw emotion. a reading from a book that dawn loved to read to the children. it was led by one of her daughters. the young children don t understand why this playground was built, but their faces remind us what it s meant for. it is amazing. she would be so, so happy. reporter: all 26 of the memorial sandy hook playgrounds are now happy places. they re all scattered around the new york area in towns that also suffered damage from hurricane sandy. and at each one, the family members pitched in. put my hands in the cement. reporter: what is your favorite job to watch and favorite job to do yourself? my favorite is probably the sidewalk. and my favorite job to watch is probably the panels that they put on the reporter: okay. for the other families who lost someone at sandy hook, this project has held so much meaning. we became a family with all the firefighters. our little daniel loved to go to the playground. it s a beautiful tribute. today, the angels are looking down at us. wow, this is the final one. it s beautiful. reporter: the group behind this is a foundation called where angels play and they plan to keep doing this across the country in places where there s been tragedy. like boston, aurora, colorado, and moore, oklahoma. bill lavin is the founder of this whole concept. he s a retired new jersey firefighter who told me on the job site last week it doesn t get more personal for him. if you close your eyes can you see all 26, do they have a special meaning to you? every single one has a miracle that s happened. think of the moms and dads who have inspired this group here. who will work from dawn to dusk. then thank me for allowing them to do all of that. you know? they ll thank us. but quite frankly this is our blessing and privilege. what a beautiful idea. really is a beautiful, beautiful idea. hard to believe, but this december it will be two years since sandy hook. and mike, tell you what, i just can t i can t, other than 911 i just can t think of a day that has shattered the peace of this country more than that day. and there s a lot of talk after about gun control. there are a lot of battles. nothing has been done on any front. the issue i talked about the most, the background checks. i went back and checked checked to see. because there are a lot of things like people talk about assault weapons bans and even mike bloomberg said that won t save lives down the ground. but the background checks, a new quinnipiac poll shows that i say new this year, still overwhelmingly support background checks. even gun owners. even gun owners. even gun owners. yeah. support background checks. 92% to 6%. not gun control. background checks to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally deranged. out of the hands of terrorists. out of the hands of convicts. and congress does nothing. nothing, nothing. you mentioned september 11th. after september 11th, this country came out of that epic tragedy with a sense of purpose. with a sense of unity. now, it became misguided. we invaded iraq. after what happened in connecticut two years ago this december, it raises the question, who are we? i will forever be amazed that there was no sense of purpose, no specific sense of outrage directed at our institutions, the congress, various state legislatures, ourselves as to why we can t do minimal steps to remove weaponry from the hands of the deranged. the cowards in congress ran and hid despite the fact that in some states 94, 95% of the people in their states supported background checks, expansive background checks, like ronald reagan supported background checks, like george w. bush supported background checks. like 92% of gun owners support background checks and they were afraid of the 4%. by the way, if forget gun control, forget ale the things that diane feinstein wants. if you take care of that, and you realize that the gun violence is committed by the people who bought the gun, you take care of so much violence in this country. so much gang land violence. i m wondering who thinks it s conservative? right. to let gang members traffic guns? who thinks it s conservative for drug addicts and drug dealers to traffic guns? i don t know. where i come from, that s not conservative. that s radical, that s dangerous, that s stupid. a good question. we ll be right back. then there s trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. it s no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. and during the big tire event, get up to $140 in mail-in rebates on four select tires. into one you ll never forget. earn triple points when you book with the expedia app. expedia plus rewards. but i ve managed.e crohn s disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn s disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. 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. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. (receptionist) gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they ll only show up when you print a label and it s automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. a pair of newscasters up in boston came back from commercial and something was a little off. just watch. good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us this morning on the october 4th. look at that guy s coffee mug again. just hold it the only way you can save that, mugs are they safer held upside down? a new report finds the answer. oh, my goodness. that s so funny. see, if we did that, all of the vodka would fall out. you have to keep it upright, joe. welcome back to morning joe. joining us from washington, i ve got a copy of tip and the gipper. did you get yours? a paper back. the host of hardball , chris matthews. his book. tip and the gipper, when politics worked. now out in paper back. more than ever before, we need this book. chris, we ll talk to you about this book in a little bit. we want to get through some news first. but we ll talk looking through the lens of a story we just talked about about background checks. 92% of the people supporting it, but congress we ll do that. let s go through the polls first. if you believe, chris, the latest polling, alison lundergan grimes has a chance of unseating the top republican in the senate. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads senator mcconnell 46 to 44% that s within the four-point margin of error. a month ago, mcconnell was up by eight points in the nbc news/maris poll. what do you think is going on there? well, i think that s a robo poll. so i m not sure that s not an outlier. we have to watch the pattern, i think it s an outlier. not the only race that democrats are showing strength. kay hagen was a four-point lead over tom tillis. the race in kansas is starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts, he s done by ten to greg orman, an independent. we ll save this tape until wednesday after the elections. let s make our predictions a month out. in the republicans win the senate i think they have a good chance to do it. it will be the following route they ll take. they ll win south dakota, montana, west virginia for sure. the next states will be alaska, arkansas and louisiana. they ll then have to win iowa which i think they ll win because they have make up for the loss to the independent orman. again, south dakota, montana, west virginia, alaska, arkansas, louisiana, and iowa. if they want to pick up a little bit of a benefit or a premium, they ll win in north carolina. but i don t think they will. or in colorado or new hampshire or michigan. chris just a minute, joe. just a minute. no no, it s my show. i m going to ask you a question. no. you always do this and you act like you never ask follow-up questions and you come on my show and you re shocked and stunned that somebody stopped you and asked you a question. to the follow-up question, what s happening in north carolina? i think she s going to win it. why? really? she s a really good candidate. why though? i m just curious. this is a state that obviously it s sort of a purple state right now. yes. she was supposed to be weak. look at the south, mary landrieu is keeping it close. arkansas is closer than it should be. north carolina is closer than it should be. it seems like the solid south for republicans isn t so solid anymore. yeah, well, i made my prediction for what i think going to happen. the net six pickup they ll squeak in. but it s a month out, of course. i think north carolina is interesting because tillis has to play defense as well as offense. i know the state is moving to the right. certainly and i know that, i don t like it, but it s happening. but i think she s been running consistently well. this is going on for months now. a consistent performance ahead of tillis. i think she s capable of a winner again this time. i wonder if in north carolina you had republicans take over in 2010, they went further right than a lot of people in north carolina were ready for them to go. you have the state senator who s actually paying for that on the campaign trail now. yeah, well i have a sentimental thing, we re bringing the whole team down to follow around that race and i m getting i m bragging now. the north carolina hall of fame i m getting down there. so i love the place down there. of course you do. congratulations. you sound like my dad right now. i love it. let s go to some other races. well, you mentioned colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge over cory gardner. yeah. i think he ll win. last month cory gardner was leading. jean shne shaheen was tied with scott brown and now is leading. and now joni ernst is now tied maike barnicle i want to ask you, remember we heard in new hampshire, the day after president obama went golfing, right after the isis beheading, you had people up there telling you they saw immediately a drop in polls? yeah. a month ago we had republicans coming on here saying oh, this is going to be a wave election. we re feeling good about it. we have those elections after the president seemed disengaged on isis. and now in all of the states not all, but most, it looks like we re back in the democrats favor from a tie a month ago in new hampshire to the seven point lead for jeanne shaheen. i know chris said it s a robo call, but a lot of the twists around turns are going in the democrats direction. you re seeing one consistent pattern, both in north carolina and in new hampshire. shaheen and in north carolina, both have achieved some separation from barack obama. and they have had to. because on the ground in both new hampshire and north carol a carolina, i assume in north carolina it would be the same as new hampshire, they don t want him in there. both candidates do not want the president of the united states in there. jeanne shaheen is a different, unique case. she is of new hampshire. she s of new hampshire. let s really quickly, willie, where republicans are ahead in alaska. mark begich has been losing ground. sullivan has a slight edge over pryor in arkansas. you know, that race keeps i ll tell you, i thought tom cotton would be six points ahead. but this race is still close. cbs news/ new york times poll, louisiana senator landrieu is down by six to republican bill cassidy. much different from a poll a couple of days ago. it is. you mentioned that arkansas race, president clinton was in the state yesterday. really feeling up in his home state. looking to help democrats get a win there. the former president returning there. headlining rallies for mark pryor and gubernatorial candidate mike ross who is the former driver by the way. that s great. he urged them to reject republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races, they re saying, you may like these guys but hey, you know what you ve got to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise you your last shot. it s a pretty good scam isn t it? i may wander, i may groan, but i ll never be far from home. you re in my heart and you will always be. arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don t vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. vote for the legacy and you ll be happy a month from now. thank you and god bless you. it s like seeing elvis in vegas. it disn t matter it doesn t matter what happened before he got there and put the long scarf on, when he belts out like, you know, jailhouse rock. he s still elvis. that is a sight to behold. a man on his home turf. singing his favorite songs. i may go far chris matthews, were you moved? i hear 2016 calling already. it runs deep in you. it runs deep. 2016, yeah. hey, chris, let s say your scenario plays out, that you laid out and republicans do squeak out the senate. okay, so they take the house. the senate. what are the last two years of president obama s second term looking like? well, it looks like go way back in history the republicans when they got the congress in 46 when truman was president, i see a lot of probes, investigations, a lot of that. you know, a lot of darrell isa stuff going on. mainly investigations and again going back to obamacare i don t think it will look good going into 2016. i think the no vote is what they re selling this time. but by 2016, people are looking for a yes candidate. somebody who offers something for the future. so they have to do a hell of a quick turn around from being the no party to the yes party. i still think hillary has the yes, potentially over them. people want to say yes when they pick a new president. not no. i think. now, they do. and mika, things look very different for barack obama if republicans get in versus if the democrats hold. i will tell you this. for republicans it s the same. no matter what. whether they get in or not, if they don t have a forward looking, positive agenda they re doomed in 16. if getting in means stopping barack obama, they re going to lose in 16. the party just fold up the tent and go away. if winning the senate means they re moving forward with a positive, hopeful forward looking agenda, they have actually a shot at 16. when they re in the minority or the majority, it really doesn t matter for the 16 candidate if they re the party of no. as chris said, they are doomed in 16. i ll say it right now. they are doomed in 16 if they don t stop just playing. there s still time for constructive ideas and candidat candidates who are exciting. let s get to the next story, same-sex couples in another five states are now able to be married. the supreme court declined to rule on challenges to lower court decisions that overturned same-sex marriage bans in utah and other states. and joining us now edward whalen, a former law clerk to antonin scalia and served on the senate judiciary committee. great to have you on. i m just wondering, does this go on the pantheon of conservative disappointments when republicans supposedly rule the supreme court? sandra day o connor, back in the famous missouri decision on abortion and now the roberts court deciding not to move on this issue? well, i think it s a disappointment to all parties concerned, that is there are folks on both sides of the issue who thought it should be decided by the court and it s disappointing that they re letting the lower court ruling stand. that said, this seems to be a consequence of the court s opinion a couple years ago. especially in the united states versus windsor where the court ruled 5-4 that the federal defense of marriage act was unconstitutional. in reasoning that i think most people would find baffling. that act was passed by the overwhelming majorities by both houses of congress, including lots of strong supporters of gay rights. signed in to law by president clinton, but it could be explained only by an intent to injure. so i think with that sort of baffling reasoning, the conservatives on the court which a group that does not include justice kennedy, probably concluded that justice kennedy was beyond persuasion on this. so governor walker said the fight is over when it comes to gay rights. do you agree? well, i think the question isn t one of gay rights broadly. the question is one of marriage and i misspoke. gay marriage. what marriage is and who decides what marriage is. obviously, in the state of wisconsin for now, there s been a judicial imposition of same-sex marriage and it s difficult to see what could possibly be done there. he s well, as a practical matter right now, it s difficult to see what can be done. now one could sketch a scenario in which it s not over. i won t claim to be an optimist on this. again, when one looks at where five supreme court justices appear to be there s little cause for short term optimism. ed, thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. again, none of the circuits disagree. if the circuits aren t disagreeing, they won t weigh in. chris matthews, tip and the gipper when politics worked. 92% of gun owners support background support and yet the extremes control so much. the big money on both sides control so much. we get nothing done. yeah, the funny thing is that for years, joe, you and i know that the slogan of the nra was guns don t kill people, people do. find out who are the people buying the guns. it s not about the gun, but about the person. so let s make sure that the right people are getting guns if they have to have a gun. and the wrong people don t. i mean, that seems to me consistent with what they have always argued about training and safety and everything else. isn t one of the safety precautions for the gun making sure that crazy people and murderers don t get them? isn t that safety precaution? it is logical and consistent with the way they have always approached at least theoretically gun ownership. chris matthews, we ll be watching hard ball tonight. i love it. it s the show i m watching as i m winding the day down. can i tell one story? sure. i was on the air take about ten minutes. one second. one second. i was trying to explain my book when i started this push for the paper back the other day. and somebody gets on the phone with me from one of the local stations and says, when did tipper gore and ronald reagan begin their relationship? [ laughter ] oh! oh. i had no idea, mika, where to go with that. wow. i gave the bill clinton answer from the debates. i acted as if she had said tip o neal and ignored what was that is so funny. don t you love book tours? sometimes you have to roll with it. like when pat buchanan had i had a doozie, remind me to tell you about it. thanks chris. after a rescue at sea, the bubble man is back. he s back! and he wants his bubble back. what an idiot. then republicans can already claim victory in one key battleground area. that story is apparently on youtube. that s the area they ve won. we ll explain when we come back. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don t think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. oats go! wow! go power oats! go! go power! yayyyy! your customers, our financing. your aspirations, our analytics. your goals, our technology. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. enagage with us. we ll take a look at the morning papers. the wall street journal, the joe biden apologyç tour. it comes after making remarks critical about the allies in the middle east. he was right, other than confusing well, he shouldered the blame for the rise of isis and now the vice president is reaching out to officials in saudi arabia to clarify and apologize. he s spoken to leaders from turkey and the united arab emirates. shouldn t have done that. yesterday, the white house stood by the vice president. the vice president is somebody who has enough character to admit when he s made a mistake. the vice president is somebody who continues to be a core member of the president s national security team. he is somebody who has decades of experience in dealing with leaders around the globe. and the president is pleased to be able to rely on his advice as we confront the variety of challenges that are so critical to american national security. and by the way, if you re keeping score at home, the no criticize joe zone still it applies here on the set of morning joe. yeah. we re not going to criticize joe biden here. from usa today, floyd mayweather said he s $1.4 million richer after bet on the indianapolis colts. hmm. the boxer took to instagram to share his ticket, showing he bet on week 3. he bet $373,000. negative 105 odds and the colt won it despite ending with 0-2 record. the miami herald, the endurance athlete rescued in the inflatable bubble off the coast of florida, this story brought to you by my sister-in-law. may be safe but he s still stupid. but he wants the bubble back. reza baluchi was attempting to run the border of the bermuda triangle in a bubble, it s called a hydropod. his journey was cut short on saturday when he was rescued by the coast guard due to extreme fatigue. his bubble was left in the water and now he wants it back. it cost him 4,500 bucks to build and it still has his green card, passport, wallet and cell phone and shoes inside. there s something so ridiculous about this story. and the guy s dead serious. he wants his bubble back. and how much did the coast guard spend on that, rescuing that idiot? yeah. maybe they can balance out after he pays them for what they did for him, he can get his bubble back. we go from that story to a serious one. how about some fighting kangaroos. this is posted to reddit, two kangaroos boxing on a residential street in australia. nbc can confirm this is in fact a residential street and that those are in fact kangaroos! that looks like you and me after the show. well, sometimes during the show. look at that. oh, my goodness. is that they re raging roos. a good lower third. can you believe that? look at that. yeah. oh, yeah, you deserve that. all right. i don t know how to do this transmission. i m mesmerized by that. can we see that again? okay. let s put it in the box in the lower left of our screen. as we take to mike allen, we can gaze at the kangaroos kick boxing. put it in the loop. i m serious. keep this up. keep it up and we ll talk to mike. we have mike allen, here with the morning playbook. if you know don t like what mike is a saying, look to the left side of your screen. mike, according to politico the midterm race for the campaign viral videos isn t close. we are going to be showing you this viral video throughout this entire segment, but first, let s take a look at what republicans are doing online. i m matt rosen dale, this is how i look from the government drone. and this is what i think about it. sometimes when a politician has been in d.c. too long it goes to his head and he can t seem to get the job done. if you have a boehner lasting longer than 23 years seek immediate medical attention. i m joni ernst, when i get to washington i know how to cut pork. mom, this is my decision. i see a better future with rick scott. sometimes it s hard to let go of old styles, but it all worked out in the end because brittany said yes to rick scott. uh. i m stuck on the first one. all right. now, the first one is pretty good. all right. so mike, why have i m sorry, i don t see the kangaroos fighting, there we go. why have the republicans fared so much better than the democrats when it comes to this season? well, politico analyzed traffic stats from youtube and facebook and said that the republicans have a much bigger lead in the viral videos. and that s such a change from 2012 when obama and the democrats were so dominant in creating digital comment. the republicans are much better and one of the reasons is they re taking the more gorilla approach. the outsiders trying to take the senate, taking on obama. many of the most clicked ads which were made by the koch network had to do with obamacare. and democrats say now they re more putting their digital resources into fund-raising e-mails. is there any evidence that this actually has an impact on supporters? i m so glad you asked that because yes, this can change elections and could change the senate. joe, joni ernst had her stand out in a field of republicans. nobody knew who d win that primary and now ernst who is looking strong in iowa could be a bluish state that could go red. she could be the majority maker. so in this time when everybody s attention is fractured a viral video can change the senate. we re looking at one right now. mike allen, thank you so much. we appreciate it. it s kind of like those old kick boxing kangaroos. like the old palmolive videos, you re soaking in it. remember madge? yeah. bill clinton comes to the defense of mark pryor. but first, relieved to be back in the united states, but the freelance nbc cameraman still has a long way to go for recovery. we ll have kate snow with a special report coming up. and many more kangaroos kick boxing. twhat do i do?. you need to catch the 4:10 huh? the equipment tracking system will get you to the loading dock. there should be a truck leaving now. i got it. now jump off the bridge. what? in 3.2.1. are you kidding me? go. right on time. right now, over 20,000 trains are running reliably. we call that predictable. thrillingly predictable. [ 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. into one you ll never forget. earn points for every flight and every hotel. expedia plus rewards. here i am. rock you like a hurricane. fiber one now makes cookies. now the very latest on the ebola outbreak and the efforts to keep that virus from spreading. there s a nurse in spain that s the latest to be infected. the first diagnosis outside of west africa. meanwhile, the white house is rejecting calls for a travel ban but says it s working on increased screening at airports here in the u.s. and abroad. and we re learning new information about the nbc freelance photographer who arrived for treatment less than 24 hours ago. kate snow joins us live from home omaha. how is his treatment because they were deciding on what type of medicine to give him. that s right, thomas. last night we learned that he will be given some kind of a experimental medication. his father telling us that his dad happens to be a doctor in his own right and he says they re really lucky that they caught the ebola virus pretty early. ashoka mukpo is waking up in isolation. he was able to walk off the plane from liberia. he gave a little wave earlier when he first came in. that was reassuring. he and his girlfriend lived together in liberia for two years. helen was due to join him in liberia this past weekend. i miss him i really miss him. i was meant to see him, you know, a couple of days ago. and i wish it was under different circumstances. his parents say he s scared by ready to fight. he said i ll get through this. it s a combination of emotions. we have been very afraid, on the other hand we re very confident. the 85-year-old mother of ebola patient thomas eric duncan arrived in dallas monday. she drove 15 hours to be near him. hoping to find a way for him to hear her voice. he is taking an experimental drug. he was given the same dose on saturday, the same day that his condition took the turn for the worse. if duncan infected anyone else, they would likely have symptoms this week. so far, none of the 48 people being watched is sick. 100% seen yesterday. 100% of them had no signs of fever. had no signs of illness. 100% were doing well. still, authorities worry about the toll this ebola case is taking. the stress of this and the fear of this, you know, could be more damaging to this community than the virus itself. now, experts say we have the tools in this country to stop any kind of ebola outbreak. the key tool is finding anyone who s been exposed to the ebola virus and making sure that we monitor those people. that s exactly by the way what s being done with dr. nancy snyderman and her team. the nbc news team returned late last night on a charter flight and we know that they were monitored by health officials when they got here, back to the u.s. we are told they re in good health, showing no symptoms. but just out of an abundance of caution they re quarantined and staying away at home for the next 21 days. explain the process that h e have that was and the decision process made to take mukpo to the hospital in omaha. yeah, it sounds random, but they have a bio containment unit here that has been set up for a number of years. they have been training extensively to handle any kind of infectious disease. by the way, they already treated one patient with ebola. remember, dr. rick sacre, he was treated here. so they have experience. the doctors were pointing out to me yesterday this is not something that s been in the u.s. much before. so it s very new so they wanted to send him somewhere where they had the expertise. all right, kate snow, thanks. appreciate it. coming up next, bill clinton saying arkansas runs deep in him. yes, it does. when he s not in new york city. we ll hear more from the former president turned star in his home state as he fights as he fights it falling into republican hands. joe, what do you say to that?

i know. he couldn t get into uca, what can i say? the president s unpopular in arkansas. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of the races they re saying you may like the guys, but hey, you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. it s a pretty good scam, isn t it? reporter: arkansas had just one republican in congress and now pryor is the last democrat left. people like my parents used to vote democratic. but now the obama democrats in washington no longer represent arkansas s conservative values. is this still the arkansas you governed? oh, i think so. i think we ve got a really good chance. i think he s run a great campaign, i think he i expect him to win. can he win this race for you? i have got to win this race on my own. reporter: if there s one thing they agree on it, might be bill clinton. i think a lot of arkansans look back on the clinton years like the obama years and view them favorably. president clinton, can i get a selfie? wow. with us is nobody draws them like bill clinton. certainly not in arkansas. but this race has been up in the air. i said a couple of hours ago i thought tom cotton to be up by ten points now. but it s a lot closer. what keeps pryor close and what makes democrats think they can still win this race? reporter: it s a couple of factors, joe. this is a democratic state for decades. only recently it s finally started to slip away from the southern democrats and at this point, mark pryor still has a ton of goodwill from his father, david pryor, who is very close do former president bill clinton and bill clinton himself has been really engaged here. you know, he noted in his speech, hey, this isn t the only time i have been down here to arkansas. he s been back for three funerals, coming back for his high school reunion. he s still very connected to it. and if there s anybody that can make a difference for mark pryor it s bill clinton. that s what you re soing over seeing over the next few days. what did you see down there? well, i travelled with tom cotton on saturday. i m upset with the pryor campaign, he s a wonderful man. i asked what events, and they wouldn t tell me. that s weird. but aside from that okay. you have vented. aside from that, pryor is a very decent, lovely man. cotton is, you know, is moving with the trends down there. i saw him on saturday talking to a gun rally and saying that the right to bear arms was not just a constitutional right, but a god-given right. oh, my. and well, you obviously, it s the 11th commandment. yeah. okay. or the 12th maybe. so it s a very conservative state, but arkansas still a little different than let s say alabama or mississippi or tennessee. there s still sort of yeah. more of the yellow dogs still running around in the south. one thing i noticed when talking about north carolina a little while ago, i was there as well on my road trip and the thing that that s keeping the democrat afloat there is the fact that tillis legislature cut education funding. and in north carolina, there is a long, moderate tradition, 50 years since terry sanford of boosting education as a way to bring in industry. you know, i ll tell you what, for conservatives who are shocked when i say this, i mean, you ve got to look at the tea leaves this year. this is in many ways i think a an election where the warning flags if they haven t gone up for republicans already, they need to go up on issues education and tax cuts. you can cut education to pay for tax cuts, you need to talk to sam brown back, it s not paying anymore for republican. this tax cuts at all costs mentality, if brownback goes down, this as the center plank for the republican party i agree with joe scarborough on this one. i think you see two states now, north carolina and kansas are education cuts are paying heavily in the democrats favor. what s interesting about a arkansas you have obamacare there and i m curious what casey can tell us about how that obviously, medicaid expansion has insured a lot of people. i think arkansas has the steepest drop in the uninsurance rate in the country. casey, did you pick up anything from this? yeah, president clinton actually offered a pretty row best defense of the president s health care law. which was interesting to me. following senator pryor s campaign. it is something they have tried to kind of run on a little bit. they have the one ad sort of praising obamacare and then they backed away from it. i think it illustrates this broader problem that he has in dealing with president obama. president clinton alluded to it, noting that president obama was unpopular in arkansas. and i asked pryor about the ebola crisis yesterday and i think it illustrates the problem he has here in the ad talking cotton. this is what he had to say. do you think that the obama administration has done an appropriate job handling the ebola crisis? um, i would say that it s hard to know because i haven t heard the latest briefing on that to know all i read the paper and all, but my impression is that we have people over there, both from cdc and other medical type people and even some engineers to try to build, you know, medical facilities. that s what they need over there. they need the medical infrastructure. have we been aggressive enough in helping these people? um, again, i have to see the latest numbers. wow. stop it. stop it. stop it! stop it! what? just stop. you re like throw in the towel, casey, what was going on there? nice, gentle question. i m not sure. i thought he would have a yes or no answer. but could i what was that, casey? she asked a gentle question. she was just being honest and the guy just collapsed. you were there, why were the questions so hard for the senator to answer? well, you know, like i said, i was a little surprised that they were so difficult because he had aired this out on ebola late in august. accusing his opponent tom cotton of not doing enough to fight global pandemics. i you thought that was a softball? for that ad. news of the day question. joe klein? compare and contrast on saturday i asked cotton about ebola and he immediately said we have to shut down flights from that region because and this was the brilliant part, because the terrorists might send people infected with ebola over here. and, you know, when you think of boko haram, i think that deals to the sense of fear in the last three weeks that was an answer. a professional answer even if it was sam stein, you brought up the ad that senator pryor had used before on ebola. yeah. trying to blame tom cotton for it. he was very critical and yet to have him stammer there with casey, pretty stunning. i mean, it s painful to watch. yeah. and the answer is pretty self-explanatory from mark pryor s perspective. go back to the facts of the ad. the budget for the centers for disease control has been cut by $600 million from 2010 to 2014. listen, the republican party and the austerity movement has cut cdc funding, but he stammered and couldn t come one the word, it was really awkward. i would say cotton referencing ebola patients and sending them across the border well, split screen with the kick boxing kangaroos no, no. let s watch this quickly. can you guys play it again? how do you say no mas in kangaroo? stunning. do you think that the obama administration has done an appropriate job handling the ebola crisis? um, i would say that it s hard to know because i haven t heard the latest briefing on that to know all the i read the paper and all, but my impression is we have people over there, both from cdc and other medical type people and even some engineers to try to build, you know, medical facilities. that s what they need over there. they need the medical infrastructure. do you think we ve been aggressive enough in um, again, i have to see the latest numbers. oh, my god. casey hunt, you have done it again. what is wrong with you? she is so mean. you re cruel. she asks such simple questions. it s a trap. you re cunning. casey, thank you so much. we ll put that side by side with australian kick boxing. sam, painful. joe klein, thank you. i m sorry you re upset. boy, they just up next, one high school cancels the entire football season. and prosecutors are now involved. we ll tell you the major reason why. willie has that story for us next on morning joe. 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. your customers, our financing. your aspirations, our analytics. your goals, our technology. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. enagage with us. faster than d-con. what will we do with all of these dead mice?

we need to talk about what we re going to wear before we wear it. just get it out of the way here. it s ha holiday party. it s still october. what s going on? i don t know. i don t like this. this is just not going to work. i m sorry. i m going to change. i ll be right back. you read the news. i ll be right back. don t change. i like that sweater. it doesn t look like it s going to walk away. i m going to get another. read the news, mika. i m sure there s a lot to talk about. it s the first time he actually wore a different all right. okay. well, he s gone. let s do the news, shall we? i can t believe it. i like the holiday look. i thought it looked good, you know. just trying to make it up a little built. if you believe the latest polling, can you guys believe this? has a very real chance at unseating the top republican in the senate. this didn t look like it could happen until now. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads mcconnell 46 to 44%. that s within the four-point margin of error. a month ago mcconnell was up by eight points. it s not the only race, by the way, where the democrats are showing strength. we re seeing this in a couple of other key places. north carolina, kay hagan has a four-point lead. but she s leading. the race in kansas, already starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts. he s down by 10% to independent greg orman. in colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge of corey garner. that s close to a toss-up. he was leading by eight points at one point. last month jeanne shaheen. and in iowa where two weeks ago joni ernst was leading by six, she s now tied with democrat bruce braley. i don t know. you think that the president is such a hint rans as the narrative has been, dorian. and yet we re seeing something possiblily happening here if you believe the polls. and we haven t seen the clintons in action by the way. we re going to talk about that. that mr. make a difference. it s hard to figure out, is this an anti-incumbency wave, or is this something the democrats are doing in terms of campaign strategy that republicans are not? it remains to be scene. particularly remarkable. grimes looked like she was starting to slip away. she had done so well for several month ls. you saw mcconnell getting some distance. so she closed the gap now with a month left to go. and as you say, that whole campaign has been about pairing her with president obama, and now here she is tied. i find that to be extremely interesting to watch. in alaska, mark begich has been losing ground to sullivan. tom cotton has a slight edge on pryor in arkansas. and the cbs news new york times poll has louisiana senator mary landrieu down by six points to really bill kasz di. so there we re seeing a fight for senator mary landrieu. the comeback kid, as you mentioned, is looking to help democrats in his hometown state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for mark pryor. clinton urged votered to reject republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make this a protest vote. all three races. they re saying you may like these guys, but you got to vote against the president. it s your last shot. it s a good scam, isn t it? i may wander and roam, but i will never be far from home. you re in my heart, and you will always be, arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don t tell you for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. and you will be happy a mon from now. thank you and god bless you. boy, he s really something, isn t he? yes, you are. i love that guy. could he be any happier? please don t do this. just don t do it. stop. and what about mitch mcconnell, huh? he s down. yes, i mentioned that at the top of the show when you walked away. i was excited about your reaction. but you just left. i m going to do that. i m going to try that. why? i thought we looked good. i didn t want to hear andy williams holiday song. we were coordinating our sweaters before the show, it s a showing. if you look what s happening with mitch mcconnell. we were all asking, what were the polls going to look like? the first wave of polls after the beheadings. after barack obama went out golfing after the beheading specifically. and now we re starting to see a big turnaround in kentucky. you look at north carolina. big turnaround. republicans were sure ap month ago this is going to be a wave election. it may still be. you just don t see any evidence of it out there. democrats are doing so much better now than they should be doing. and republicans are now going to lose kansas. what do you make of kentucky? i don t see it as related to isis. do you? is that what is happening here? all democrats were hurt a month ago by barack obama s seeming obliviousness to what was going on with isis. and the jv comments and golfing after the beheading. but i think you re starting to see these races go back to their set point. and the set point is a lot of kentucky people can t relate to mitch mcconnell. they may not agree with grimes in a lot of issues, but they just can t relate to mitch mcconnell. and she and other candidates have run smart campaigns distancing themselves from the president. as the former president bill clinton said in arkansas, this is not a vote for barack obama. this is a vote for mark pryor or london grimes or other particular candidates. this should have republicans worried for 2016. they have a lot more seats to defend in 2016. i m sorry. i was just going to say clinton s comments were interesting, too. he said this is just two more years of president obama. he s almost saying don t worry. it s only two more years. but these guys are aplaying for six-h year jobs. so don t make this about president obama. oh, my gosh. he s very, very good. if you talk to any republican strategist six months ago, a year ago and said a month before the election you re going to be losing kwst by ten. to an independent candidate. and you re going to be losing north carolina. in some polls you re going to be losing louisiana. arkansas is going to be split down the middle. i can tell you as republicans we re screwed. iowa is tied right now. and the democrat out in iowa is a clown. i mean, democrats say quietly, that guy is a clown. he s ill fit for kansas. he goes to texas and say, the last thing we want is somebody from iowa, a dumb ass iowa farmer is basically what he s saying. well although i would say, joni ernst commercials the the castration candidates. i those were brilliant before. clearly iowa voters are thinking something else now. i don t know. i think if you look at the trend, it s all against the republicans right now. there are exceptions. scott walker, a guy i like very much. a great hope for a lot of conservatives like myself. he may not win this year. he s being investigated for corruption scandal. go a state over to michigan. one tough nerd. the governor of michigan. a year ago everything looked great. now he s on the run. and here s the thing, this is what republicans need to understand. you got to stand for something. you can t just be against barack obama. and the problem is. if the republicans can t win. and priebus will say this. if the republicans can t win in 2014 when everything is breaking their way. when they were fighting in red states, then in 16 all the senate fights are going to be on blue states, plus the presidential race. r is going to be especially ugly. yeah. let me get one other headline in here. officials are now confirming the first case of ebola to be contracted outside of west africa. a nurse in spain is in stable condition at a hospital this morning after testing positive for the deadly virus. officials say she cares for two spanish priests who boelt died from ebola. the parents of ashoka mukpo said he s in good spirits after arriving in omaha for treatment. dr. nancy sneiderman and her team arrived in the united states and were checked by a health pishl upon ail rival. all are feeling well, in good health. they re deemed low risk but will are be be staying home and monitoring their temperature for the remainder of the 21-day period. and in dallas, the man being treated for the ebola virus remains in critical condition. we ve learned thomas eric duncan is being given an experimental drug approved by the fda. president obama says his administration is working on increased screening for ebola. it comes as a new research poll finds nearly 60% of americans have a great or fair amount of confidence the government could prooent an ebola outbreak in the u.s. but there s a sharp divide among parties. 69% of democrats share the confidence. 51% of republicans have little or no krz in the u.s. government in terms of how it could stop an outbreak. i think screening will be difficult. i don t know how they re going to do it. the it s not just about cutting off flights. willie, what do you make of the poll we just talked about? is this it looks like it s about president obama. it looks like just a blind referendum. it s strange that became a political question. i think it s a lot of things. obamacare, irs. a lot of things that made us think, do you guys do anything? i think democrats feel the same way. how is george w. bush handling the outbreak, yould see the numbers flip. this becomes split call. zblf it s strange, isn t it? and the government at the local level versus the federal level. especially since president obama has been in office. that s not unusual, the broad trends. but it is strange around ebola. coming up on morning joe. as the white house plans new airline screening procedures to minimize the threat of ebola, we ll look at how one key american city is handling the the crisis. plus, michael bloomberg gets knighted by the queen. but don t call him sir just yet. speaking of sir, he always wants us to call him that. he always wants him to call us what is that? can we say it on the air? yeah, he loves that. it s better than what you could have gone with, i guess. good morning, everyone. including joe and mika. blood moon. have you heard the term? we re going to have one later tonight. all it means is we get these lunar eclipses with pretty much the full moon. we get the refraction of the light off the earth. because of the dust and the dirt. it looks ret oud there during the eclipse. this is going to happen tomorrow morning very early. if you re on the east coast, a lot of clouds. but around 5:15 to 8:15. the best viewing will be the west coast around 3:30 to 4:30 in the morning. the next one will happen in april. we get four of these in two years. that doesn t usually happen. e back to weather. i mentioned the clouds blocking the view of the lunar eclipse in the east. a large amount of clouds and rain to the east. heaviest rains are in h northern new england. a a batch over north carolina. and pretty good amount of showers and thunderstorms between memphis and cape gerardo on the mississippi river. that could clip the memphis area shortly. and in nashville, we have rain for you. and new york city, southern new england, and coastal jersey a line of strong storms will go there. gusty winds could bring down trees and maybe an isolated tornado. very weird scenario for you. if you re west of the mississippi, you re looking rather nice today. the exception being arizona. we leave you with a shot. can you believe this? the rink is back. they re making the ice. getting ready for the holiday season. you re watching morning joe. we ll be right back. ring ring! .progresso! you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well vegetables. shh! taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!?

i assume you re talking about ebola, not isis. ebola, yeah. isis is scary, too. yeah, i was thinking about turkey. that s all right. i think we re calm. we re sitting on pins and needles. but we had an all-time hoping of our state fair over the last week. and 92,000 people showed up to the cowboys game. i went to a big oktoberfest. people are out and about. this is a great time to be in dallas. the weather is good. i don t see any pulling back on that. folks are going to school. but we re serious. this is a very tough issue. but i think it s only the mean people creating some of this some of this fear. let s talk about the incubation period. this is the critical week, as you pointed out, where people who came in contact with thomas eric duncan could show any type of symptom ls. no one was showing any signs. but we had ten people who had contact with duncan who are considered high risk. so explain exactly what the monitoring process is for those ten people. well, basically each we ve got a couple of dozen people tracking, around 48 people and we visit with them every day. they look at the temperature. they ask how they re feeling. they look at them from a health standpoint and give them a little checkup. and so every morning i ll get a report. we have one today at noon. so it s turning over a big blackjack card when i get the report to make sure they re healthy. mayor mike rawlings, thank you for being on the show. thank you for watching. thank you, mr. mayor, we ll have to drop by in dallas next. please do. we re you re in new york, come on the show. i would love to. still ahead, barack obama says the economy is stronger than it ever has been during his presidency. we re going to fact check that with our powerhouse economic round table straight ahead. plus, why one of our panelists says crazy is a compliment. i m with him.

the author of crazy is a compliment, the problem with zigging while everyone else zags. i love that. you just complimented joe. any time people come with an idea and say it s crazy exactly, if they re not calling you crazy, you re not thinking big enough. i m reading the new google book. he said things move so quickly. if you re not being called crazy every week or month, tyou re going to be left behind. we can do nothing and hope our jobs are safe, or we can take risks. the riskier strategy is to do nothing. the reason i wrote crazy is a compliment is to bottle up my experience working with a thousand entrepreneurs to help people who have a dream but are feeling scared or stuck and create a road map for helping them go guard. so brian, we have, in the united states of america, a congress and a political structure that is just the opposite of crazy in the good way. we re not doing anything to move this economy forward. no, we re not. and we ll have the pleasure of all kinds of great people, successful people. they have nothing in common, except for one thing. they all have this amazing ability to take risks and believe in yourself. congress is all about consensus. either it s red state or blue state. somebody is going to have to zag. and they re scared of their own shadow. yes, they are. that comes because we have a rough time in the economy. wanes haven t moved. jobs were very hard to come by. we re getting a little bit of a change in the overall economy. we got about a quarter million net jobs created. a lot of those didn t go where we needed them. they didn t go to women. they didn t go to younger people. i think one of the things we re proud of. they have nearly 200 employees today. did you just use starbuck as a verb? he did, didn t he? you re starbucking a nail salon. trying to transform something mundane. the 65,000 nail salons in this country. $8 billion reported. it s probably closer to $14 billion. we need professional standards. right now it seems like a lot of people are intrigued. that s amongst the highest in the last decade. it s not going to things more mundane. the service economy. the service economy. the independent workers. and what i think i love is it s not just technology where entrepreneurship is thriving. most people starting businesses are women and baby boomers over 55. we just don t hear their stories. and your point, entrepreneurship is not just entrepreneurs anymore. we haul need the skills of change making. and what you re talking about cannot be outsourced. you cannot amazon can i use that has a a verb? you cannot amazon nail care. you need people. and we hear from both parties. that s not true. new businesses are job creators. and so, yesterday i talked to a neighbor. and asked how is paul simon?ç but it s a guy that has a business. he s a small business owner. mom and pop shop. runs it out of his house. and i ask him what i always ask with restaurants and businesses in the town. they all say the same thing? this month was good. last month was bad. the month before was so-so. the month before was terrible. the month before was agreement. i m hearing this from all small business owners. they can t make plans because it s um and down. we have a schizophrenic consumer. and your neighbor will continue to say that until we have real wage gains. if it goels down. this is the next election. one of the issues around there is we re so focused on the demand side and not supply side. and what we need to do is focus on them. be focused with the authentic crazy person was self care. only then can you get the predictability of revenue. the problem is trying to focus on the profit and performance. you need to start with product. so linda, how do you describe the the schizophrenic economy? you have unemployment below 6%. and that s because people have given up looking for jobs. and chaos favors the entrepreneur. but entrepreneurs are not about the farm. we imagine them going all in. entrepreneurs are risk minimizeers. so three facts i point out in crazy is a compliment. number one, you don t have to go all in. 50 pk 50% of the fastest growing companies start with under $5,000. the best innovators keep their day jobs while they re starting their ideas. the founder of nike did taxes for ten years. you need to balance between taking risks and doing risk. deal with chaos. people are scarred, right? they re scared, too. i m not going to leave my job where i feel secure after what just happened to start a company. that s why sho many are 20-year-olds. if they fail, they re okay. if you re 40 with a couple of kids and a mortgage, you re not starting a business. i ve known tony two years now. i can t imagine him being a nail man. thank you so much. tony, greatly appreciate it. thank you so much for coming in. and the book is crazy is a compliment. much more morning joe ahead.

my favorite job to do myself is probably the sidewalk. and my favorite job to watch is probably the panels they put on the playstand. reporter: and for the other families who lost someone at sandy hook, this project has held so much meaning. we became a family with all the firefighters. our angels are looking down at us. looking wow. the final one. it s beautiful. the group blind this is a foundation called where angels play. they plan to coop doing this across the country in places where there s been tragedy. like boston, aurora, colorado, and moore, oklahoma. bill laven is the founder of the whole concept. he s a retired new jersey firefighter who told me on the job site last week it doesn t get more personal for him. if you close your eyes, can you see all 26? do they all have a special meaning to you? every single one has a miracle that has happened. they will work from dawn to dusk and then thank me for allowing them to do all that. but this is our blessing and privilege. this september will be two years since the sandy hook shooting. two years since a disturbed individual was able to get his hands on three semiautomatic weapons. and nothing has been done in congress. and it s not done on the campaign trail with isis, ebola and stagnant wages in the headlines. it s easy for politicians to ignore it for some reason. polls show americans overwhelmingly support background checks on all gun sales. even gun owners support it by a wide margin. 89 to 9%. that s straight forward. you start talking about gun control and the numbers drop quickly. i m not sure why gun control, though. it s just a background check. i don t know. george w. bush supported background checks. i don t know. mike? we talked about this before. endlessly. the institutional indifference and lack of courage. it s so depressing. you look at the numbers as we just ind kalted. when you walk a street and talk to ordinary human beings, it s depressing our political institutions don t react. having said that, bill laven, the firefighter who came up with that idea. what a great idea. what a hopeful, beautiful person to find a way to celebrate as well as remember these people. and that was a great piece. that was really nice. it s a wonderful thing to do. up next, what if anything did we learn today?

really? the president of the united states has described it as a cancer which is funny because back in january when he was talking to the new yorker magazine he referred to that organization that wants to fly the black flag over the white house as the jv team. josh earnest, the president s spokesperson was asked about it yesterday, that gaff the president made in january. he did his best to try to untangle the president. the president was not singling out isil. he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attacking the west or the united states. that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al qaeda network led by osama bin laden. that is such a load because david remnic asked the president specifically about isis. and he did and he talked about that. i remember when george bush said bring it on to what was left of the dead enders and he said i shouldn t have said that. that is wrong. the administration now to pretend as if they didn t call isis the jv while they flew the black flag is wrong. it is a relative insult to people who are paying attention, which i imagine is you. the president of the united states has to look at this group, this group bringing in $2 million a day in oil revenue alone and in extortion in various points saying how do we contain them. in addition to that a state department official concluded 1,000 americans joined the forces such as isil. we had an american beheaded across the world globally on the web and witnessed what their intentions are. when you hear that reference back in january to these groups, isis, as j.v. it is insulting. right now colonel west said it is completely idiotic. when i listened to those comments made by josh earnest those were inane, incoherent, incompetent. what josh earnest is doing and the obama administration is trying to relegate and define isis in a term or ideology that fits in their national security strategy so they don t have to take an action. we have found out in the after math in our operation in libya where we led from behind and had no plan afterwards egypt and the the uae have conducted air strikes in libya because extremists have taken over the airport. uae and egypt see this as a threat and conducted air strikes in the region and didn t even tell us. you know why they didn t tell us? they can t trust us. that s the problem. i get that. here is the thing. do you trust your government? because we have heard that louis lerner who apologized at the irs they illegally targeted conservative groups and tea party groups. people tried to get her e-mail to make sure there wasn t coordination with the white house. it was revealed her e-mails were destroyed because there was a problem with the hard drive. people came out of the woodwork to explain away the problem. listen to this. the actual hard drive after it was determined it was dysfunctional and with experts no e-mails could be retrieved. was it physically destroyed? that is my understanding? because there was a computer crash? 67,000 e-mails provided to congress. 24,000 have come from this period during which her hard drive crashed and in which those e-mails were lost. in april determined that, in fact, there had been a hard drive crash and some e-mails may have been lost our next step was to investigate how many e-mails did we have and could we find. so they are very clear there all of her e-mails gone. as it turns out judicial watch which has filed some freedom of information lawsuits against the irs were told by government attorneys on friday there is some backup system that keeps everything. it s in the end of days thing where if you need the continuity of government there is a copy of it somewhere. there is a copy. as the law dictates. it s just too hard to get so we are not going to try. what? everything we have been hearing about scratched hard drives and missing e-mails with lois lerner and other irs officials and other officials in the obama administration has been a pack of malarkey. they can get the records but they don t want to. they haven t told anyone about it frankly until we were able to get it out of them on friday. just to be clear. there were backup tapes but too costly to retrieve and we are not sure if they are there. this is pretty much the same thing. who are we writing the checks to? if we can t retrieve it how much does it cost. is it in a vault? is it a trip? what did you know? when did kroun it? let s start from the beginning here and get to the truth on how this all started. the administration says there is no new backup system describes to judicial watch. do you believe that? did you see ansly this morning? i was looking for her. money must be flowing in her account to do two shows in a row. glad to be here. thanks for welcoming me to the show this morning. an update to a missing person s story. 21-year-old luge s rovy has been missing for a week after he failed to show up at college at the university of montana. now a new clue might shed some light. this surveillance footage from a chevron station in garden valley, idaho appears to show his green subaru. he was working at a raft and kayak camp in idaho. his friend and supervisor will join us at 8:15. thousands gathering paying final respects to michael brown. family, friends, celebrities and even strangers among the crowd there. the reverend al sharpton delivering a wild speech criticizing police and calling for justice. tomorrow the grand jury is set to resume hearing that evidence. as the fbi interviews witnesses as part of a justice department investigation. a united airlines flight heading from newark to denver forced to make a landing in chicago after a fight over leg room. a passenger used a banned knee defender device to stop the woman in front of him from reclining. the knee defender locked her seat into place. they got into a fight. the woman threw her water on the guy. both passengers were kicked off the plane. they were both sitting in economy plus which already allows for four inches of leg room. those are banned. don t buy one of those. let the person in front of you decline. the knee defender seems defensive. hundreds of residents in napa, california may be without running water for days following the 6 magnitude earthquake. the destruction may take a week to tally and damages could top a billion dollars. we are joined live from napa. good morning to you, rick. what can you tell us about today? good morning, elizabeth. people still working on the cleanup process and also not only small business owners going through inventory but homeowners who saw devastating damage. we have seen images and i believe we have video of the fire that struck one of the mobile home parks during the earthquake or immediately thereafter. yesterday we were able to get footage and see exactly what the area looks like and talk with one of the owners who survived and barely got out in time before her home was engulfed in flames. take a look at what she had to say. there was a fire in the house in the back of me was burning. and then there was a big explosion. and it was really, really burning. they told me half of your place is gone. so everybody there having to figure out what to do and get their life back on track now and how to sort through the pieces as well as the small business owners we will be talking with the folks here. we will bring more of that to you in a bit. absolutely heartbreaking. live in napa. coming up on this tuesday, the president slams the use of enhanced irrigation. as the isis threat gets worse is it time to use them again? the cia official who ran the program under george w. bush is here live next. and a proposal so big it is catching the attention of police. the couple behind the incredible gesture may stay a mystery forever. can this decadent, fruit topped pastry. .with indulgent streusel crumble, be from. fiber one. new fiber one streusel. 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 problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don t take chantix if you ve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. 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) even 10 miles away. they can see the light of a single candle. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins for your eyes, heart and brain. now, with a new easy to swallow coating. president obama earlier this month acknowledged the use according to him tortured al qaeda detainees after 9/11. before i came into office i was very clear that in the immediate after math of 9/11 we did some things that were wrong. we did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. we did some things that were contrary to our values. that is the president s opinion that we tortured some folks. with enhanced interrogation techniques would it help us now. joining us now a man who defends the use of the techniques, the former head of the cia s clandestine service. your response to the president s characterization of what you did? i take tremendous exception to what the president said. it is very disturbing and it is not true. as i have explained many times all of those techniques were approved by the president, authorized by the president, president bush at the time were certified as legal and were briefed to the congress. so when the president comes out and accuses cia officers of torture it creates tremendous problems for all of us. and we take tremendous exception. so would you say obviously you did everything right. you did what you were supposed to do and got tremendous intelligence out of it. now, with isis, this organization everyone says is as bad if not worse in al qaeda who beheaded a journalist from being a journalist, would you think some of these techniques would be effective in maximizing intelligence opportunities? yes, isis is a dangerous and evil organization that has no problems beheading american citizens. mark my words, if we don t go after them, they will come after us here at home and try to kill us and terirorize us. we have to go after them. i don t think the enhanced interrogation program should be used against them. the reason why is because in the spring of 2009 president obama decided to release the legal justifications for the use of the techniques. he declassified it and released it to the world. and this document provided the details of the program and also the legal options available to us to undertake the program. so basically we have given away the play book on this. our enemies have the play book. and i feel that they will be able to counter whatever we want. thank you so much for joining us. more fox & friends right after this. four wholesome grains. sugar. only six?

how early before bed? a half hour before you want to go to sleep? at least about an hour or so. interesting finding. only 15% of schools right now start later than 8:30 so maybe that number will changed based on this. it s a good move. good to see you. is this a sign of the times?

the emmy s did not disappoint. you are stepping in. were there more kisses? good morning. it was definitely tv s big night last night. for all the talk about big movie stars being invited and the tv academy nominated streaming services like netflix, they really stuck to their own last night. the academy while they gave them invites to the big party didn t get mvp passes. jim parsons won. a lot of people were shocked. matthew mcconaughey everybody thought he was a lock for last night. he was a big part of the program, a lot of jokes, a lot of comments headed his way. people were kind of surprised. what an amazing performance with breaking bad. billy crystal had a heart felt tribute. so amazing. one of the big more popular moments of the show and the highest rated moment of the show is in memorial. last year it was very depressing. this year they did it perfectly as each of the people came up of people we lost this year. at the end billy crystal did a tribute to his long time friend and colleague, robin williams. this is what he had to say. he made us laugh hard. it is very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. miraculously because they float in the heavens so far away from us now the beautiful light will continue to shine in us forever and the glow will be so bright it will warm your heart, it will make your eyes glisten. and you will think to yourselves, robin williams, what a concept. well said. very moving. it all started last night on the red carpet. we were there live. the big question we asked everyone last night was some of the best story telling is happening right now on television. we asked some of the stars what they thought about that. i think television is kind of like a new film. a lot of people are telling us television is where it is at. drawing the best actors out there? that s what great material does. it draws the best talent. the fact that networks put money behind big shows. i think boundaries are left because you can do any concept or idea and follow it to the darkest place. a great, great night out there. a little hot in the l.a. sun. that the where you are wearing a vest this morning? i figured why not? trying things different. we are bringing the vest back. it works, michael. thank you, sir. worked for chuck coners on the rifle men. he was not nominated. it is 25 minutes before the top of the hour. everyone loves you because you go from the emmy s to that. it is just so fun. it was a great show. it lightened my life in the afternoons after school. here is what is happening in the news. a football player turns hero when he jumps into action to save his nephew s life. star defensive back for the university of california was at his cousin s house when his 7-year-old nephew started to drown in a swimming pool. shaw jumped off of the second story balcony on to the concrete and pulled that boy to safely. he did severely sprain both ankles and will be sidelined. despite risking his season and potentially his career shaw says he would do it all over again. murderers on the loose. u.s. immigration and customs enforcement releasing convicted killers. 169 immigrants have been released with homicide related convictions because of a supreme court ruling which prohibits from detaining people who cannot be deported. ice said they cannot release identity and locations because of privacy concerns. it looks like a top model should get used to the perp walk and not the catwalk. this dutch beauty charged with shop lifting fish oil and chocolates from whole foods. appearing in a manhattan court the six foot stunner was told to stand up straight and unfold her arms. she declined a plea deal saying i m doing fashion week soon. a romantic mystery. police in london looking for a stolen car when their helicopter spotted this. will you marry me spelled out in lit candles. the thermal image picking up the man getting on one knee in a par. police left wondering who the couple was. thanks to twitter he they are. their back is to the camera. we know that she said yes. those are your headlines. brian, over to you. a buzzworthy performance at the u.s. open. let s talk tennis. a be wreaking havoc on venus williams first round win. the two bugging out as attendants tried to swat away the pesky opponent which would not get off her racquet. williams refused to kill the bee and later would not comment. the bee could not be reached for comment. this may be the last time they watch the nationals. a little girl in front of the nationals pitcher stephen strasburg as he winds up for a warmup pitch. the girl was involved in the pregame show and just didn t leave. she ran between the pitcher s mound and home plate. kids do not belong at baseball games. make the kids stay home. talk about crafting a message for new recruits the university of tennessee photo shop rolling stone of him with beyonce. it includes a section on why the pop star thinks tuttle belongs at tennessee. the big question is will it work. tuttle is still undecided. it is amazing what schools will do to get a top level recruit. in the world of polling a poll asking is it appropriate for young children to play at the park alone? 68% of you americans say that there should be a law that would require kids under 9 to be supervised. remember, this comes on the heels of a south carolina woman who was thrown in jail because she allowed her 9 year old to go to the playground unsupervised. 68% for a 9 year old. 43% feel the same way if a kid is 12. what do you think about that? obviously, it depends on the circumstances. if you are in a bad section and have to worry about going outside your house it is an issue. in suburban america or cities without a high crime rate, just normal every day things i think it is a bad message. you scare the heck out of kids thinking you walk out and get kidnapped. i can t go in the park, parents paranoid. with everyone s head down into their device you don t necessarily feel that everyone has that neighborhood watch over the kids. when i grew up everyone was watching. elizabeth was doing this. people telling my mom what i did all day long. you were a bad kid for a while. the irony is all of us played in the park alone when we were in kindergarten. now we are all parents. there are so many helicopter parents who don t let the kids out of their sight and then scare them where they say you have to be careful. if you know your neighborhood. if your kid has a cell phone when they are out and about they are going to be safe. what kid doesn t know about stranger danger? what teacher just get away from them. should be illegal. it criminalizes the kid and the parents, is that okay with you? there would be no satch, no mo. they went to the park alone. they were at the park alone. let us know what you think. e-mail us or facebook or twitter. northern california still reeling from a massive earthquake. our next guest says they actually dodged a bullet and the worst could be to come. and a top secret weapon that could hit any target in the world within hours. it is not a secret anymore after a mission failure is caught on camera. what is that?

a couple of different things. one is that this earthquake ruptured and began in the south and ruptured up to the north. so a lot of the energy was directed away from some of the most populated areas and particularly some of the soils, the california bay delta which is a major source of water for californians. a lot of levees are susceptible to liquid faction failure. the energy was directed up towards napa. of course, we saw what happened with the buildings there. you also saw a lot of sidewalks where there was rubble. this was in the middle of the night. we saw no fatalities. we are very grateful for that. that is part of a factor. it was 3:00 in the morning. if it were a different time of the day we would have seen fatalities. it is interesting you talk about how thankfully the energy was directed to the north. had it been to the south that could have been much worse. automatically when people think about big california fault lines they think of the san andreas fault. this particular fault that had the earthquake the other day was the west napa fault. it kind of runs parallel to the big one, right sth. that s right. the san andreas is a system of faults. they are taking up movement all the time. about the speed the fingernails are growing. moves against north american plate. since we are talking about rocks even though plates may be moving slowly the rocks themselves get jammed up. pressure builds up and they fail. there is a whole sequence of faults in the bay area that have the potential for building up strength and have the potential for a major damaging earthquake. and there is an image that shows 63%. put on your professor hat for just a second. what is a straight slip? there is essentially three ways that these plates can be interacting. one is that they are pressing against one another and you get for example subduction zones around the ring of fire in the pacific. where they are diving down against the other. you can get them pulling apart or have them moving side to side. that is what happens in the case of the san andreas system. it is what we call a strike-slip fault. it moves to the right or the left. it is accommodating that kind of a movement. very informative stuff. we thank you very much. i think people watching may have got two hours of college credit. that was really good. folks, you know what a strike-slip is. thank you, david. burger king may be forced to leave the united states because they say their corporate taxes are too high. one democrat slamming the move. how about criticizing shouldn t our ridiculously high rates be the focus. for two years this 12 year old running a lemonade stand to help pay the bills. why is one neighbor trying to shut him down? that young entrepreneur here live next. here i am. rock you like a hurricane fiber one now makes cookies. find them in the cookie aisle. that s why i always choose the fastest intern.r slow. the fastest printer. the fastest lunch. turkey club. the fastest pencil sharpener. the fastest elevator. the fastest speed dial. the fastest office plant. so why wouldn t i choose the fastest wifi? i would. switch to comcast business internet and get the fastest wifi included. comcast business. built for business. sweater, extra sweater oh and this is the xfinity tv go app. he can watch live tv from over 50 channels and xfinity on demand movies and shows wherever he wants. have fun, make some friends. alright? did i mention his neck pillow? (blowing) he s 12 years old, but fort last two years, t.j. has been hard at work running a lemonade stand in his fellow there neighborhood. but while cops say it s completely legal, one neighbor has been pushing to shut him down. joining us is lemonade stanine, t.j., welcome. when did you get this idea for a lemonade stand with different flavors and the location? well, my friends, they did a lemonade stand in the summer before i did it. i figured that was a good idea, so i decided to try it. were you surprised that someone by the name of doug wilke decided to complain and doesn t think you should have this. he says it s an illegal business, causes traffic problem, too much noise and trash? yes, i was very surprised. so has he said anything to you directly? no, not really. wow. they actually we know around, the police went around and said the neighbors were polled and no one around seems to have a problem but this gentleman. what would you tell him about this business and why it s so important to you? that this lemonade stand is a very good business and that everybody else is supporting the lemonade stand. so i think he should, too. right. it s totally legal right now. he s just made a few phone calls. how much is the lemonade and what kind of flavors do you offer? lemonade is one dollar and i have pink, strawberry and regular for one dollar. i said that. and 50 cents for cookies. you get cookies, too. so you expanded into food. yes. i heard you re 12 years old now. i heard you can t wait to be 14. why is that? because when i m 14, i can apply for a bagger job at publix. right. what do you do with the money? i buy my mom and i dinners. i pay for cell phone bill. all different things. wow. that s tremendous. such an entrepreneur. it doesn t get you down that your neighbor is complaining and has hurt your business, cause he says it s very loud and some of the people that come there use profanity. it does kind of make me upset the fact that he is kind of lying, because nobody does that. but everybody else has supported me so much. so that just brings me right back up. we actually reached out to him to see if he would join us and provide a comment, but we haven t heard back yet. have you given him any remedy, maybe a free cup? i tried, but he won t really listen. he won t come to the stand. he won t answer the door. why do you think that is? i guess he s just not really into the lemonade stand, so he doesn t want to join. right. i tell you, it looks like everything that s good about america. beautiful neighborhood, beautiful town. great drinks. what else can you ask for? a fantastic entrepreneur who can t wait to get his first official job. we are impressed, we have some cheers to you today with our own lemonade. it s not as good as yours, but it will have to do. thank you. thanks for hanging with us this morning and hope you have good sales. if we only can get him to deliver. four minutes before the top of the hour. it s the most popular week for beach goers. but this could change all that. a great white shark could be coming to your beach. where that shark is heading and does he have your name on his mind? and they show up for waffles and stay fort alcohol. the new york neighborhood getting up in arms over these boozey brunchers in this video right here. good morning. it is tuesday, august 26. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. they told us lois lerner irs targeting e-mails were gone forever. a hard drive crash and some e-mails may have been lost. hard drive crashed in which the e-mails were lost. no e-mails could be retrieved, was recycled and destroyed. this morning a huge bombshell. they were never really gone. it turns out it was just too much work for the government to find them. great. meanwhile, a flight diverted at 30,000 feet because two passengers came to blows over leg room. that little gizmo right there featured in the green circle led to an epic midair meltdown. we ll tell you about it. a quiet day at the beach turns terrifying when this, yep, that, you know, this and that was spotted swimming just feet away from shore. that s a great white shark with the capability of coming on land. run for your lives, but team your tv on so we get the ratings cause mornings are better with friends. hear ye, hear ye, this is the town crier! you are watching fox & friends ! thank you, town cryer. brian, i think you re confusing the news of the day, which is big out of massachusetts, with sharknado. that wasn t real? it wasn t? wicked big news coming out of massachusetts. yeah. we got a reporter to tell us about that in a moment. but right now, ainsley earhart joins us on this tuesday with an update. hey. yes. let me tell you what s happening in the headlines. an update to a missing person story. we first told you about it yesterday. 21-year-old lucas roby has been missing for a week after he failed to show up for college at the university of montana. now a new clue might be shedding some light on all this. this surveillance footage from garden valley, idaho, appears to show his green subaru last tuesday. search teams and volunteers are now scouring the mountains of the boise national forest for any signs of him or his car. kenneth long was the last person to see him. he will join us at 8:15 with the latest on this search. lois lerner s lost irs e-mails do exist. that according to government watchdog judicial watch. they say justice department attorneys are admitting now the e-mails are likely on back up computers, but they say they re just too difficult to retrieve. the agency accused of targeting conservative groups has repeatedly said that her lost e-mails cannot be recovered. just an amazing sequences of cover-up, delay, denial, even what now appears to be a false statement from the new irs commissioner in which he said he moved heaven and earth to give us lois lerner s lost e-mails. he either lied under oath or he chose not to know a critical fact. judicial watch now plans to ask a federal judge to force the irs to hand over those e-mails. a united airlines flight forced to land in chicago because of a battle over leg room. a passenger using the band s knee defender device to stop the woman in front of him from reclining. the knee defender essentially locked her seat into place so that she couldn t move it back and she became angry. a flight attendant intervened asking the man to remove the gadget. he refused. the two passengers got into it. the furious female even throwing water on the guy. both passengers were kicked off the plane when it landed in chicago. get this, they were both seated in economy plus, which already has four inches of more leg room. breaking bad broke good. the tv show dominating the emmy awards almost a year after going off the air. and the emmy goes to breaking bad . it took home six emmys, including best drama series. bryan cranston picked up lead actor. anna gun and aaron paul won for supporting roles. one of the best dressed, modern family star sofia vergara. with missing one thing, her new boyfriend. sofia vergara said that she didn t bring him because he s too hot for the red carpet. you be the judge. there he is. and speak of steamy, julia louis-dreyfus got quite a surprise from former seinfeld flame. you look so much like the actor in seinfeld who played the dentist that i dated. she won five emmys and had 18 nominations. previous wins have been for seinfeld he was on seinfeld, yeah. she took home her third emmy award in a row for best actress. those are your headlines. very thorough. thank you. meanwhile, we ve got a fox news alert. united states has overnight started flying surveillance drones over the country of syria. this move authorized by president obama over the weekend brings the u.s. one step closer to an all-out air assault in the region. could it happen and did we ask the government for permission? how do they feel about this? let s go live to peter doocy in washington. hey, peter. reporter: hey. the goal right now is to get a better look at what kind of fire power isis is working with in syria. that s why president obama signed off on surveillance flights over syria and depending on what these man asked unmanned aircraft see, the next move could be air strikes. we ve been looking at syria from across the border with very high altitude observation for a long time. now he s given permission to fly drones over syria. this is a step props of increasing surveillance and reconnaissance over time, gather the information, find the targets and eventually i ll guarantee you, we re going to start bombing them. reporter: a syrian government official is warning the white house not to start air strikes unless their president, al assad, gives the okay. the obama administration says they may not ask permission. kind of like when they decided to go after bin laden in pakistan without giving anyone a heads up. i m not going to get ahead of decision making that the president hasn t made yet or rule any option on our off the table, but we re not going to be restricted by borders. we re actively considering what s going to be necessary to deal with this threat. we re certainly working with a range of partners in the region as we coordinate those efforts. reporter: there is a debate about how much of a threat isis really is. the white house says they don t know of any active isis plots against the u.s. homeland, but the house intel committee chairman mike rogers concerned with all the westerners getting involved with militants said this weekend, isis fighters are one plane ticket away from u.s. shores. back to you in new york. all right. thank you very much. it seems like the debate as well is going on between the white house and the pentagon. last week the pentagon, you got the joint chiefs chair, general dempsey, he said that the only way to take out isis is to go over to syria. couple days later, he walks it back. he says, you know what? it s really just kind of a regional threat. what happened? why did he flip flop? ralph peters has an idea. took hem out behind the wood shed and for an extended period. general dempsey committed the greatest sin you can commit in the obama administration last week. he told the truth. and that just doesn t go with them being a jv team or the administration s narrative. he and secretary hagel were right, president obama would have to do something. with a wave of the president s magic golf club, suddenly within back to, where, it s not an immediate threat. so the question is, what would he be doing? so if we do start bombing there, we are technically helping assad who is our enemy and has done nothing for the last 15 years in that region but make life miserable for us and indirectly responsible for the loss of american lives. among the people who are critical of us taking action if it s just willie nilly and without a plan is the free syrian army who have been let down. they say we have not done anything we said we were going to do and that by doing what we said we re going to do now, it would be like tickling them. it seems confusing at the border. that the border seems so administration to the administration, but our own border here does not. right now this imminent threat, there is no denying it. an american was beheaded and it went across the web waves like wild with a message from isis and their intentions to drown us in blood. we actually spoke with the former head of the c.i.a. rodriguez, and he said that if we don t do something, isis will sure do it. they ll do it right here in our soil. isis is a dangerous and evil organization that has no problems beheading american citizens and mark my words, if we don t go after them, they will come after us here at home and try to kill us and terrorize us. so we have to go after them. he handed up the clandestine service. he knows it. what s interesting is the fact with this break news that apparently the white house authorized the flying of drones over syria. we weren t doing it before. isis has been over there for a long time and the fact that just now we re finding out that we re going back because the president didn t want to cross that international border? that is crazy. right. he said there was no dissemination. it was a fallacy to think we could just arm a small section of the anti-assad forces. we put in a request for $580 million to arm them and now we re looking to blow up isis to empower them, so something doesn t gel here. yet what s staggering is we still don t have a comprehensive plan. most people are praying we don t see a double bogey when it comes to syria with this administration. we ve got another breaking news story. the iconic line from jaws, we re going to need a bigger boat, left on this shore line as beach goers are warned of a great white shark in massachusetts. leah gabriel joins us with the latest details. good morning. beach goers in massachusetts clearing the water on a beautiful sunny day after an unexpected visitor shows up. this massive great white estimated to be 15 feet long. spotted just yards off the shore line. the state police called in to verify it was indeed a shark, while confused beach goers had no clue. we re in the water maybe three feet deep and we saw the helicopter start coming from the south end of the beach. the lifeguard came and told people to get out of the water and i went down and i just asked and they said there had been a shark sighting. reporter: lifeguards ordering everyone out of the water for two hours. then the shark slowly swam for deeper water. once the coast guard determined it was safe, people got back in the ocean. at least one person having a little fun with it, leaving this message on the shore line. you re going to need a bigger boat. the famous line from the movie jaws. and while the beach is now back open, warnings is posted to swim at your own risk. there is stepped up police presence as we head into the holiday weekend. i don t know about you, but swimming with sharks not on my to do list. i wouldn t be the first one back in the water either. thank you very much. a little close to home, the movie jaws was filmed in massachusetts at martha s vineyard. yes. which has a big problem now. with the cops there, no shark wants to get a ticket on a holiday weekend. coming up, they show up for the waffles and stay for unlimited cocktails. now neighbors fighting back with this video of boozies brunchers. but is that legal? how many mimosas in that? right. i think you got to cut them off. burger king under fire for wanting to leave the united states over high taxes. but is burger king really to blame? stuart varney is from england. they re buy ago canadian doughnut chain. here is what happened when they made the announcement in the city council up there in toronto, the burger king is buying a canadian doughnut shop. here is what happened. out of my way, lady! out of my way! i got to get to the doughnuts. in a whopper of a move, burger king is in talks to buy a canadian company so they can move their operation, burger king, out of this country and into canada which some are calling unamerican. i think it is also about taxes. i think you re right because burger king is so visible, it puts the focus on the general behavior of corporate america and in a sense, the contempt that they feel for the average citizen of the united states. is this a bad move or a response to the high regulation and taxes in this country? here to discuss is the host of varney and company, stuart varney. wait a minute, there is a new angle. which is? warren buffet, president obama s major corporate supporter. he is facilitating burger king s move. wow. he is financing part of the deal. he is helping burger king leave america, which is an astonishing thing because he s the principle corporate supporter of president obama. ironic there. but explain why businesses are opting to do this or why they feel this is only, if not best choice for their business? several reasons. number one, if you go overseas, you get a lower corporate tax rate. america s tax rate is the highest in the world, 35%. go oversea, get a lower tax rate. more profit for you and your shareholders. number two, this is a very antibusiness country at the moment. the obama administration regulates business, tries to stamp down on business. corporations are fleeing in droves to a less regulated environment. who would have thought 20 years ago, 25 years ago that american companies would jump ship, go to canada of all places for lower taxes, less regulation, more growth? who would have thought? why is the reaction this is devastating for business, the fact that they have to jump ship. it s very strong from american business. lower the tax rate, reform the corporate tax structure and let us grow in america. that s what they want. 70 companies have left the country and gone overseas since the 1980s. how long until somebody in the administration calls warren buffet unamerican? unpatriotic, unamerican. that s what president obama called these companies which have jumped ship. corporate deserters, unpatriotic. the interesting thing is so many people say, the most brilliant investor, the most brilliant businessman in the world is warren buffet, and he sees the utility in leaving the united states. corporate wise to avoid the tax. it s astonishing. president obama got a lot of support from warren buffet when he was doing the tax story. warren buffet objected to pay ago lower tax rate than his secretary. of course, he didn t pay himself very much. that s why he paid a lower rate. now we have the instance of he s supporting burger king, financing burger king jumping ship to canada. that s the closest thing we have to royalty in this country and it s leaving. i m sorry. i got it. i just got it. it s okay. we could say the same thing about larry king, but he s staying. we ll be watching you on fox business. thank you so much. coming up, his tickets sell tore over 100 bucks a pop. but gang members got to say david blane for free. we ll explain. did he disappear? and call dad s little helper around the house because it will launch your daughters to career success. mark meryl and just how real that impact is.
it s raining numbers. that means it s time for news by the numbers. first, 169 convicted killers. that s how many murderers the united states immigrations and customs enforcement have released over the last year. 169. due to privacy laws, they can t reveal their names or locations. terrific. next, $15,000. that s how much oprah spends on water tankers to keep her 40-acre california estate looking green. this as other lawns in the state suffer water restrictions amid a very long drought. and finally, $10. that s how much arby s new sandwich is going to cost you. the super sized sandwich boasts eight different delicious kinds of meat and two different cheeses. look at that. what time does arby s open? that made me hungry. thanks. they say actions speak louder than words and it turns out this could be the case when it comes to fathers and daughters. a new study finding dads who help out more with household chores ended up having daughters who aspire to less traditional feminine jobs. could that be true? joining us is the president of family first and author of all pro dad, mark meryl. good morning. good morning. so the study is interesting. it basically said if a dad helps out, their daughters would most likely be astronauts, marine biologists, geologists, police officers, professional hock you re owe soccer players. if they don t help out, the daughters would tend toward more feminine jobs, being a nurse, fashion designer, librarian or stay at home mom. what s your assessment of this? my assessment of this small university of british columbia study is i have five kids and i have three daughters. i have a corporate recruiter who is working out in the work field now. i have a nuclear engineer and then i have a musical theater major who is in college. i can tell you, the fact that i did a lot of laundry and dishes as my kids were growing up probably doesn t have too much to do with their career choice. now, i will have to say that there are fringe benefits to doing the chores. in fact, my wife, she loves it. i bet she does. let me ask you this, so how can we you re speaking from experience. five kids, three daughters who with well on their way to success. do you believe that there are things that you can do as a father specifically that impact their decisions, careers and self-esteem? and what are they? yeah. no question about. parental influence is one of the biggest things that we can do as a parent to affect our kids career choice. the first one is be a student of your child. watch and take mental notes of your child s natural inclination s in their areas of giftedness. we always did that when our kids were little. one of my daughters, emily, i noticed she was really creative. she loved to sing. so we made sure that we directed her in that area and put her in courses and allowed her to perform, to really work that out. what do dads get wrong, do you think? well, i think sometimes dads get it wrong that they just really don t understand the incredible impact that they can have on their daughters and mom, too. and so it s very important to be a student of your child. it s also very important to validate your children s gifts. not only observe them, but also look at them and say to them, you know what? i ve noticed that you re really good with people. i think you should continue to develop that because that s you re really, really good at that. that s something that we need to do as well. so not only be a student of your child, but also to validate them in their gifts. good advice there. dads across the nation right now are pretty psyched because they don t have to do extra chores, it won t make a difference in the career choice. but it s being there and what they can do with their kid that matters. thank you for that advice. thanks. tell tim no more chores. he s off the hook. he doesn t have to do anything else. i hope he didn t hear that. thanks, mark. thanks. coming up, they show up for the waffles and they stay for unlimited cocktails. new neighbors now are fighting back with this video of boozey brunchers. but is it legal? and the college football season kicks off in a matter of days. we are warming up in the middle of times square. brian loves soccer so much, we re going to see if he can kick a field goal.
all right. damage estimates following the 6 magnitude earthquake in napa, california on sunday could take weeks to tally. fixing the damages could top $1 billion. but experts say we dodged a bullet and the worst could still be to come. there is a whole sequence of faults in the bay area that have the potential for they re building up strength and have the potential for a major damaging earthquake. rick reichmuth is live in napa with how this quake could actually impact the wine industry moving forward. a lot of people worried in the coming days here that the worst could be yet to come as we heard and the wine industry one of them. yeah. wine industry is a really difficult thing, especially small business owners. large wine companies, or wine makers, maybe not having as much of an impact, but it s really the small wine make that are will have some of the biggest impact. i m joined by karen, a wine owner. thank you for letting us be in your space. all of these barrels that we re looking at fell very quickly, you say. yes. it happened very fast. it was 3:20 in the morning. my husband and i live next to the winery. so obviously a loud boom came. we later realized the boom was the barrels coming down. and it happened instantly. and you look at all of this, so you still don t have a good sense on the economic loss for you guys? we re in the process of pulling the barrels out, finding out how much wine we actually lost and as you can see, we still have a lot of work to do. kind of a dangerous process in trying to get this out as well. you have people in here doing this, but there is danger to the people as they re trying to pull these out. you re right. it s very dangerous and slow. we have to be very careful and it s not something people do all the time. so there is not a whole practice on how you pick up barrels that have toppled over like this. we have been hearing that earthquake insurance is prohibitive to get. it s so costly. so any loss here is directly to you. right. as a small business owner. my husband and i own the business ourselves. we just happen to sell wine. and each bottle, each barrel lost is all directly affecting us. i want to say, first of all, it is harvest season, so that s one of the reasons why this happening at this time is so difficult. you got grapes that you have to get off of the vines right now. they are, these bottles that were not damaged, but you can see the labels are damaged. you guys are selling these as collector s items now. karen, thank you very much and best of luck to you guys. thank you. back to you. all right. rick, real quick, those big barrels behind you, if they re not broken and the wine is still in them, is it still drinkable? it s a great question. if the barrel is intact, the wine is completely fine. there will be no damage to the wine at all. quality stays the same. that s the most important part to this. certainly. it s just all shook up. and a great note to everyone out there, if they want to be able to help out, buy a bottle. why not. collector s item. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. ainsley earhart has headline duty today. yes. thank you. a new twist in the michael brown shooting case. a new audio recording claims to have captured the very moment that officer darren wilson opened fire on the 18-year-old. on the recording which has not been verified, 11 shots are allegedly fired. an autopsy showed brown was hit six times. this as thousands gathered inside a st. louis church paying final respects to brown. family friends, celebrities and strangers among the crowd. the reverend al sharpton delivering a wild speech, criticizing police and calling for justice. and hopefully he didn t give tips how to escape. dare devil magician david blane performing tricks for dozens of new york city s most dangerous inmates. the hour long free show reportedly a reward for the high security inmates with good behavior. inmates included gang members from the rival bloods and crypts, guards are not happy. one saying, quote, how the am i allowed to say that on air? all right. how the hell does a killer get to watch a rabbit get pulled out of a hat? good question. they show up for breakfast and they stay for booze. look at this video. boozey brunchers are popular in new york and in this one neighborhood, people are up in arms over the boozey brunchers there. and there is video to prove it. footage posted on youtube shows young patrons hunched over, stumbling, getting sick on the sidewalk, and even falling on the ground and it s all thanks to a bottomless brunch at a restaurant called prana. the management says they re beefing up security, watering down drinks and decreasing the number of reservations in an effort to keep their liquor license. those are your headlines. they re very popular. that s not the only restaurant in new york that has that. a lot of them have the bottomless mimosa cup. 45 bucks and you can get all you can eat and drink. they get pancaked is what i ll call that, thanks. brian kilmeade joins us from the crossroads of the world as the football season kicks off for college. yes. here we are on 44th street at times square. we haven t been here since the super bowl and it was minus 1 degree out. college football starts in the summer. kirk said i ll come do a spot with you. one of the finest commentators in college football. a fine player in his day. why did you drag me all the way down here from this beautiful studio? look at this. what is going on here? brian put one right through the uprights. but i m here to hang out with you, of course. allstate s got an amazing thing going on. celebrator their ten-year anniversary to the good hands net. you see them in all the college football games. the thing that i think is most impressive is they have a sweepstakes called it s good sweepstakes. a chance to go to the sugar bowl for four people, the national championship for four people and win $100,000. right. that s it. that s cool. today you ve come to take a field goal, meet kirk, as well as have a chance to get these college football prizes. let s talk about this year. for the first time ever, the president has been calling for a football playoff. what s it going to look like?

you re going to want to stick around. welcome back. quick headlines. gmail users may be at risk of getting hacked. researchers claim after getting gmail users to download an app, they could hack the account with a 92%atl success rate. also high at risk, chase bank and h & r block. this weakness found in android, windows and ios operating systems. yikes. and the government may soon be snooping on twitter. the feds are spending $1 million to create an on line database to track misinformation and hate speech. the database will also focus on political activity as well. over to you, steve. did president obama wait too long to launch a rescue mission for eç-including the journalists beheaded, james foal zoo according to the uk sunday times, quote, pentagon sources said foley and the others might well have been rescued, but obama concerned about the ramifications of u.s. troops being killed or captured in syria took too long to authorize the mission. he took too long. lieutenant colonel tony schaefer says his sources confirm that report and he joins us live from d.c good morning to you. thanks for having me. we had phil balbonioç on, he was jim foley s boss. when a bunch of european hostages, they negotiated the release for them, they immediately spilled the beans and said we gave them the exact location in the spring where jim foley was. and to account for the missing time, by the time the information got out, we had to do our own verification, assessment. and then to put together a planning to in. steve, my understanding is that plan was ready to go in june, early june, like the first before the first week and then it took about 30 days for quote, unquote, the assessment of the white house, to go through it. i think that delay was a material reason why the raid was successful, but the hostages were not there. okay. if the raid was successful but the hostages weren t there, that s not a successful raid because the idea is to pick up the hostages. exactly. their job. but you re saying that the reason it failed was because the president sat on it too long. yes. everything is going on here, steve, is seen through a political lens. let me be very clear for this, you ve got to assess our national security based on the intelligence available and instead of doing what s best based on the intelligence, everything is run through this multiple-pronged political optic of the white house. in this case, i think clearly there was a loft down sizing going on with the mission, but they went with the mission and then when the mission didn t pl, the hostages weren t captured, they threw special operations under the bus, well, it was their fault. it was the president s fault for not approving when he should have. the national security council put out a statement that says this report that the president sat on it not accurate. what are they doing there? just spinning? well, i d like to hear the explanation then. okay. if it s not accurate, then with a is accurate? this is where they always play this political narrative game. they ve got to get out there and talk about it. they re the ones that put the information out about the raid. they didn t want to talk about the raid, they shouldn t have put it out there. sure. what has happened over the last week where on thursday you ve got hagel and dempsey and they re having a very somber press conference when they talk about how isis is bigger than anything they ve ever seen before and dempsey is very them, we re going to have to go over to syria and do it there. then a couple days later, you know, they re really just kind of a regional threat. what happened with the general? again, politicalization. it was very clear last week when secretary of defense hagel stated what he did with general dempsey, isis is a threat, a global threat. they re coming for us. they re well funded and well organized. and then something happened over the weekend. it s like a mind trick. the president comes into town and these are not the terrorists you want to pursue. clearly, steve, there is a political narrative which always supersedes whatever the intelligence is at the moment. again, it s politicalization of things which should not be politicalized. and exit question, the news this morning is that apparently now the president has authorized drones to be flying over syria to look for the bad guys. bad guys until today. exactly. this should have been going on the last couple of years since syria has been an issue. steve, you don t conduct military operations without having a clear picture as best you can establish and clearly there is something wrong that we re only now doing it? they went from one sortie per month to 50 a day now, finally. they should have been doing it a long time ago. no kidding. tony, thank you for your perspective.% thanks. do you like sports and beef? ip &c @&c@ other companies are hiring right next coming up. first on this date in history in 1986, higher love by steve winwood was the number one song in america. the job market may be toughç but that doesn t mean there aren t plenty of jobs out there. from the fox business network, cheryl casone joins us with the top companies hiring right now. always great to see you. goodh;$w ing. who who is hiring?

a live report from the white house at the top of the hour. and no one is talking about it. who won the emmys last night? but everyone is talking about who stole a kiss. we ve got all the juicy details. d good morning. it is tuesday, august 26. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. the united states has begun flying surveillance drones over syria to lay the ground work for a potential air strike. but just yesterday the administration said a strike there is not happening. so what in the world is going on? also they told us those lois lerner irs targeting e-mails gone forever. remember? a hard drive crash and some e-mails may have been lost. hard drive crashed in which the e-mails were lost. no e-mails could be retrieved, was recycled and destroyed. well, that sounds bad. but this morning a big bombshell. those e-mail never really gone. turns out to get them out of a big machine, it s going to be too much work for the government. we ll tell you everything you need to know. i m so confused. and remember this? (sound) the newest high school class has no idea what else they don t know. you re going to see how much things have changed that will make you feel really, really old. at least you ve got us. mornings are better with friends. how you doing? this is andrew dice clay, you re watching fox & friends. oh! remember he was a fill-in host here? he did three hours. did a lot of the international relations segments. i don t remember. i know. he did a segment when he was very in touch with his emotions. i ll be darn. then he could probably identify that die-up sound. he probably could. remember those old days? that s coming up in a minute. right now, ainsley earhart joins us today. heather nauert has the day off. you re in her shoes. i am. let me start with this, an update to a missing person s story we first told you about yesterday. 21-year-old lucius roby has been missing for a week after he didn t show up to college at the university of montana. now this surveillance footage from a chevron station in garden valley, idaho, appears to show his green subaru. you can see it there. it was last seen on tuesday. search teams and volunteers are now scouring the mountains of the boise national forest for any signs of him or signs of his car. kenneth long was the last person to see roby and he s going to join us live about 15 minutes with the latest on this search. a united airlines flight heading from newark to denver forced to land in chicago because of a battle over leg room. a passenger using a banned knee defender device, you can see it there, to stop the woman in front of him from reclining. the knee defender essentially locked her seat into place so she couldn t move back. that made her angry. flight attendant intervened, asked the man to remove the gadget, but he refused. that s when the passengers got into an argument. the furious female even threw her water on the guy. both passengers were kicked off the plane when it landed in chicago and they were both seated in economy plus, which already gave them four extra inches of leg room. batteryies in the apple iphone 5 turning rotten. apple recalling the iphone 5 because the batteries no longer hold their charges. the company saying it is a very small percentage of those phones. brian apparently has one that will need their battery replaced. to see if your phone is eligible, head to apple s web site and enter in your serial number. i need something else to do. i ll do it for you. breaking bad broke good. the tv show dominating the emmy awards almost a year after going off the air. and the emmy goes to breaking bad . breaking bad took home six emmys, including best drama series. bryan cranston picked up the award for the lead actor. anna gun and aaron paul won for their supporting roles. modern family becoming the first sitcom since frazier to win five emmys in a row. and a moving tribute by billy crystal to the late robin williams. as a genius as he was on stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine for almost 40 years. he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy. robin williams, what a concept. and did you see this steamy moment? julia louis-dreyfus getting quite the surprise from a former seinfeld co-star. you look so much like the actor in seinfeld who played the dentist that i dated. she s won five emmys and had 18 nominations. he was on seinfeld. yeah. she took home the best actress emmy for veep. those are your headlines. in watching the emmys last night, i was shocked how little network television we watch now. yeah. it s all about cable and streaming. what about our own bill o reilly was nominated for jfk, but he did not walk away with it. hanging out with rob lowe. thank you very much, ainsley. thanks. we got a fox news alert. the united states has started flying drones over syria. apparently until today we weren t. this move authorized by president obama over the weekend brings the u.s. one step closer to an all-out air assault in the region. and by the way, did we ask syria, should we ask syria? peter doocy at the white house. it s going to be a big day. reporter: brian, it s been a big week. the week here at the white house started with the obama administration trying to clarify that when president obama said isis falls into the jv category of terrorists, he just meant at the time that they had no designs on attacking the west. but now president obama wants to have a look at the of fire power isis is working with, so he s order these surveillance flights over parts of syria that isis controlled and we have heard in the last few minutes those flights have begun. we ve been looking at syria from across the border with very high altitude observation for a long time. now he s given permission to fly drones over syria. this is a step process of increasing surveillance and reconnance over time, gather the information, and eventually i ll guarantee you, we re going to start bombing them. reporter: a syrian official, though, is warning the white house not to start with air strikes unless president al assad signs off. you remember, though, president obama said in no uncertain terms that assad must step down. so now the white house is having to explain that any potential air strike would be an american interest. not an assad interest. the incident is no, we re not interested in trying to help the assad regime. in fact, we have been calling for a number of years now for the assad regime to step down. reporter: most of the president s day will be spent going to charlotte for an merge legion convention. but when he gets back, he has a meeting with the secretary of state, john kerry, on the schedule. back to you. all right. peter doocy, i m sure the president will get a warm reception at the american legion later today. you re being sarcastic, right? think about what he s done to the military. think about what s happened with the v.a. are you talking defunding, underestimating, undermining the cost that would be need to do defend against something like an isis that could pop up and surprise us? like i said, a warm reception. meanwhile, the white house had a lot of explaining to do. we ve been telling you about how general dempsey a couple of days ago said the ohm way to take out isis is to go into syria and do something there. then he walked it back and he said essentially, you know, isis is just kind of regional. yesterday josh earnest was asked about the president who said in january to the new yorker magazine that isis was just a jv team. keep in mind, the president just last week referred to it as a cancer that needed to be dealt with. so we were going to play josh earnest trying to spin his way out of that and that will be followed by lieutenant colonel allen west who doesn t think that mr. earnest is honest. the president was not singling out isil. he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attack the west or attacking the united states. and that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al-qaeda core network that was led by osama bin laden. when i listened to those comments made by josh earnest, those were inane, incoherent, incompetent, and absolutely idiotic. what josh earnest is doing and the obama administration is doing is trying to relegate and define isis in a term or an ideology that fits into their own national security strategy so they don t have to take an action. if the president was being candid and honest, he could say, hey, i totally underestimated what they can do and i was too slow off the mark and maybe in retrospect we shouldn t have pulled all our troops out. so as fallujah fell, we should have said that s a little bit of an issue. but al-qaeda was on the run, remember? right. that would have been trouble. but he had already won reelection and there is wrong with the president saying i misjudged and underestimated. you can say fdr misjudged japan. never thought they would bomb pearl harbor. oops. that happened. but in the big picture, i think the president has not come up with a plan yet to stop isis, whether it s jv or varsity, and i think it s staggering to find out later that egypt and the united arab emirates had their own aerial campaign in libya without even telling us. these are allies of ours and we re pretty much in control of that region. that shows how little trust and little interest people have in checking with us 5 1/2 years after they were afraid of us. state department officials thursday estimate 12,000 fighters in 50 country, including up to 100 americans joined radicals fighting. we now know this is a big deal. why they re walking it back, we re not sure. why the president doesn t seem to have a handle on it verbally as a cancer. is this the worst thing we ve yet to come and see. why doesn t he want to get a grip on it, many are asking. meanwhile, let s talk about the scandal. remember it was lois lerner who apologized to tea party groups and conservatives that the irs illegally targeted them. then there were lawsuits where people tried to get the e-mail to make sure whether or not the white house was coordinating with lois lerner. well, then we learned that all the e-mails were gone because she had a crashed hard drive, blah, blah, blah, the dog ate my homework. as it turns out, judicial watch, which has filed freedom of information act lawsuits to get to the bottom of it, they were told by irs attorneys on friday, according to the man who runs it, that lois lerner s e-mail and all government records are backed up in case of a government-wide catastrophe. so her e-mail do exist. but government attorneys say it s too complicated to get them out. here is tom now. everything we ve been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing e-mails with lois lerner, other irs officials, other officials in the obama administration, it s all been a pack of malarky. they could get these records, but they don t want to and they haven t told anyone about it. frankly until we were able to get it out of them on friday. see how much it costs to get the records. chairman issa is saying he wants a close door questioning again of koskinen. i m sure that will go well. coming up, a bombshell report claiming that special forces mission that tried to rescue james foley from isis was delayed because the president feared for his own image. karl rove on deck to weigh in on that. and it s a top secret weapon that could hit any target in the world within hours. it s not a secret anymore because it failed and we taped it. breaking right now, a live look in texas where a house went up in flames overnight. you can see the smoke still smoldering. a charred mess indeed. fire crews still on the scene. at least one person was hospitalized and officials believe a gas explosion may be to blame. steve? in other news, the white house doesn t seem to be able to commit to a strategy to defeat isis. yesterday the press secretary even saying the president hasn t figured out what to do about syria. in terms of giving an update on the status, i m not in a position to do that beyond saying the president has not made a decision to order military action in syria. really? here to discuss fox news contributor karl rove. what s he saying there? he s saying they haven t made a decision, they re still thinking. they ve been thinking about this for about six weeks, ever since isis exploded across the northern part of iraq. they have been befuddled and hyped the 8 ball and they continue to be. is it denial or procrastination? look, normally let s go back to last week. on tuesday the secretary of state comes out and says we must crush isis. they must be destroyed. on thursday we have this extraordinary press conference with hagel, secretary of defense, and martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs where they say we got to go after isis. they re a real threat. hagel says they re bigger than anything we faced before and dempsey says if we re going to get them, we have to get them in syria to destroy their command and control nodes. normally you would take the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs as indicating more importantly, we had ben rhodes, the deputy national security director, completely political guy, he comes out and says they re dangerous. you would assume that the president was moving towards that. but then we had search dee walk search see walk it back yesterday. look. they re confused. the president has been disengaged as he has been on these big foreign policy questions. but they have to sort it out. the pressure from congress, the pressure from the international community is what does america intend to do? the military has been cut to the bones. the only thing the president has cut. now we re asking the aircraft carrier to move into the region, continue to fight in afghanistan. maybe take on an aerial campaign in, while putting advisors in syria and iraq. at what point does the military says you can t do this while giving pink slips? the military will tell them that. you re right. the defense cuts have been deep. 19 40s level. yeah. in the process of getting there. and my hope is that this will cause the administration to rethink its priorities. one of the reasons the administration suddenly started thinking about isis and doing something about it is the beheading of jim foley that was youtubed and disseminated across the country. what s curious is there was a report in the sunday times of london that said special operators apparently gave the president a planning to and try to rescue them, but he sat on it so long, the information was stale and when they got there, he was gone. yeah. we do know we don t know the details about this. it will be interesting to see if this times report is accurate. you had tony on this morning who affirmed it. but we need to find out more about t. first of all, we know one of the most perishable things in intelligence is things like the whereabouts of high valued targets and high value captives. so it s very perishable so you need to move quickly. the second thing we know is look, the administration, we lack assets in the region. i mean, i don t believe the administration was completely unaware of the threat of isis, but they were clearly surprised when it exploded through northwestern iraq and it s because we frankly have very few assets on the ground that can collect and evaluate the intelligence that s available. right. now we ve got some drones. karl rove, thank you. thanks for having me. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, for two years, this 12-year-old has been running a lemonade stand to help pay the bills. so why is one cranky neighbor trying to shut him down?

yep. well, kids started college this year, they do not remember that. the deloitte college put out a list to show how different life is for those kids born in 1996. any time that they see wired rim glasses, they say they think of harry potter. not john lennon. and the pound button on the phone is now called the hashtag button. those are your headlines. time marches on. thank you very much. in other news, the search continues for a missing 21-year-old montana student. he was last seen a week ago today wrapping up his summer job as a guide at cascade raft and kayak in horseshoe bend, idaho. he was headed to his student orientation at the university of montana, but he never showed up. this morning new surveillance footage from a chevron gas station 20 minutes from where he was last seen is helping searchers narrow down the search area. kenneth long is the owner of kayak raft and cascade raft and kayak where he was last seen and he joins us live this morning. good morning to you. good morning. i understand that lucius worked for you the last two summers at your family 4÷ busin. when he took off last tuesday, what did he say? you know, he said good-bye to everybody. he said that he was going to take a two-day drive up to montana for college and that he was excited to get up there and get going. so if he said he was going to take a couple of days to drive up there. and we ve got this image from the chevron gas station in garden valley, idaho,$ñ i know that folks were unsure which route he might have taken. the fact that he s seen near that gas station tells you what? it tells us that he took one of two;ñ&ñ possible routes to go montana. so it makes the search area cuts it in half. it takes out the north route on highway 55 and allows us to look moore toward the garden valley, lowman area as opposed to wondering which direction that he went. all right. so they narrowed it down by half. so if he said as he was setting out, i m going to take two days to drive to college, does that mean he would have been planning on doing some hiking along the way or some camping? did he have the supplies did he have a tent or would he just have stayed there in his subaru legacy? no, he definitely should have had the supplies. he was camping all summer, most of the we have a camp ground that we provide for the guys. so they do camp most of the summer. so he would have broken down his camp and presumably had all of that stuff in his car. so he definitely would have had those supplies. i understand some of the staff there at your place is actually helping in the search, right? that is correct. yeah. many of the staff who have not left for their college for the winter have been looking in some of the camp grounds in the vicinity and driving up and down some of the forest service roads where he could have potentially gone off and maybe done hiking or kayaking. let s hope they re able to locate him safely. and he just lost track of the time in high country. absolutely. kenneth long, the owner of cascade raft and kayak, thank you very much. by the way, if anybody watching has any information, we re going on the screen, if you could just back the teleprompter up. it was the boise county sheriff s office, the telephone number is 208-392-4411. brian and elisabeth, outside to you. he has now missed his third race since the death of ken ward, junior. joining us right now is somebody special. ryan reed, we are so thankful that you re here. saw you on twitter yesterday and as brian just mentioned, a lot of talk about tony stewart aft%[ he went intod4 kevin ward, junir from potentially all angles to see what his intent was. what s your gut instinct there in terms of what happened? yeah. thoughts and prayers go out to both sides. that s an awful situation. i wasn t there. tape. but i wasn t there, so it s really hard to form an opinion. but thoughts and temporaries go out. do you think tony will be back racing? i hope so. he s a great racer. i have a lot of respect for him. but like i said, thoughts and prayers. people thought about chaining things, you re not going to be able to walk on the track. is that something you look forwardw5 to? i think it s probably a good rule. i know that tempers flare and it s easy to hop out of the car and show your displeasure. i think all in all it s a good rule. you re 21-years-old, you ve been racing since you were five, maybe? four. four. gosh. that s incredible. you re doing this and you have an excessive responsibility. you had diabetes, diagnosed three years ago? at 17 years old. there is somebody on your pit crew who can do what for you? giti je an insulin injection during a pit stop if needed. that s incredible. what a group to have behind you at all times. does it make it more difficult for you or just sort of another bump in the road? there isnjfw definitely challenges. it s definitely been a transition. i raced before i was diagnosed and afterment it s been a transition, but i have a great sports team withç doctors and american diabetes association, they re all behind me. so i know that i can do it with all their help. it s been a lot of fun. you re 9th in the point standings right now. you re going to be racing atlanta this weekend. yep. you look so young. even though you re 20, you look so young. do you ever have trouble getting on the track? no. luckily i have a hard card that says i m a driver. that makes it easier to get in and out of the track. being young. you have to earn your keep, i guess. some of the veterans give you a hard time? oh, yeah. is this the car you re racing? not this exact one, but it looks just like it. do you mind if and i take a trip in it? go for it. look at this. take a look inside this car. explain here, when you re sitting, you have the protection around your head. do you have anything in here for yourself in terms of diabetic rescue or is it just your pit crew? no. i have a monitor on the dash. i wireless monitor my blood sugar on the dash. we wish you well. thanks for stopping by. congratulations. steve, tell me what you have planned for the last 25 minutes. we ve got a fox news alert. northern california just hit with another aftershock from the 6 earthquake. we are live with the latest on the ground from napa where that video was taken a couple of days ago. then they showed up forsesz wafs and then they got toasted with the unlimbed cocktails. now neighbors are fighting back by taking pictures of the boozey brunchers. sounds like i ve had a couple. is that legal? fox news alert. out of napa, california, rick reichmuth just felt an aftershock. i m looking at the national weather service. they say it s a 3.9o7b magnitude american canyon, california. exactly. the initial earthquake was about six kilometers from that area, napa valley fault line, which is exactly where this winery where we are is. so this aftershock right in the exact same area. 3.9. we moved out of this area with these barrels. you see the barrels that had toppled over during the initial quake. now if anything had resettled with this, we just came out here to be more safe. we talked before about an early warning system being in the works. do you have any updates on that? reporter: yeah. it s a really fascinating project that s out there. there is a way the speed at which a wave from an earthquake moves through the land that can actually get digitally signal out and warnings to people before that wave hits them. so during this earthquake that just occurred two days ago, they got ten seconds notice of the system in a test. they believe that there is capacity that they could give people as much as 40 seconds advance notice of an earthquake coming, which could get people out of elevators, could get fire trucks to be able to open their doors so they could get out of their fire department, could allow people to get into safe spots in their houses. we talked yesterday to somebody from the usgs. take a listen to what he said about how this works. the early warning system uses sensors spread out all over the state and it detects earthquakes very, very rapidly, determines their size and their location and can actually send alert messages out faster than the seismic waves are moving. so you can get a warning before the seismic waves reach your location. reporter: yeah. this is super important, potentially really life saving. the problem is they need funding. they need congress to potentially get funds out there to get this system in place. california obviously the threat of a big earthquake and it s something they hope they can maybe get funding out and get this in place just in time. guys? sounds like it would take at least $80 million, where does that come from? rick reichmuth live in napa where this just had a 3.9 aftershock. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. sign of the times, the majority of americans want to make it illegal for kids to go to the playground by themselves. should a walk in the park really be a crime for the parents? we asked you to send an e-mail. you ve done it. first let s check in with martha mccallum. she promised to tell us what s on her show. who grew up playing by myself in the park. we all did. good morning. big show coming up today. the u.s. has now begun drone and surveillance in the skies over syria. so what happens next? general jack keane will tell us. and the white house tries to back pedal the jv characterization of isis. and the real shark week gets underway as a 15-foot great white is spotted off the coast, when we see you at the top of theño hour. some quick headlines for you. a top model in court for stealing chocolate bars from whole foods. the dutch beauty was told by the judge to stand up straight and uncross her arms. since she s never left the store with the bars, she was given probation, then she told reporters to watch for her at fashion week. and one new york neighborhood is up in arms over the boozey patrons from an all you can eat brunch. footage posted on youtube shows patrons hunched over, falling on the ground and this is all before 3 p.m management says they are working to fix the problem. it s not the all you can eat part that s the problem. it s all you can drink, cause it s a bottomless mimosa or floody mary. yes. the restaurants are trying to dilute the drink. or people can get familiar with their own limits. maybe. but when it s free, you know. of course you re talking about chris chulo. that s a message to you. recent magazine did a survey. remember it wasn t long ago a south carolina woman was thrown in jail because she let her nine-year-old go to the playground unsupervised. well, this new poll, about 70% of you support a law that would require kids under nine years old to be supervised and if they do go there alone, the parent would get in trouble. really? 70% of you? and for the 12s? 43% thought 12-year-olds should be supervised the entire time. we asked you what you thought about that. here is what you said. heather wrote, didn t realize we were so incapable of raising our own kids now. looks like it. i get the sarcasm. donald white on facebook says, i have to say times are much different now. most parks are not safe for even adults. it s not the world i knew as a child. i think a lot of it s hype. mike says this on twitter, if unsupervised kids in the park was an unenforced crime in the 350s and 60s, my mom would still northbound jail. every case is different. remember the mom who said go out and do something. when the lights come off, come back. a college professor said i doubt there has ever been a human culture that ever understatements children than we do in our culture today. one for the road after this. we re look for you. oas÷ before we re history, tennessee pulling out all the stops to recruit a top football prospect. they sent him a photo shopped rolling stone magazine next to beyonce. she s not really next to him. but they re hoping that will help him decide to go there. right now he s undecided. still undecided. junk food sales marketing saying eating carrots is just as much fun as eating doritos. grocery stores creating new kid friendly snacking selections. tiger woods may be the best golfer ever, but he needs to get his game back together and he s fired his swing coach, sean foley. this after he won 13 times two years ago. the question is, will he go back and hire his first coach when he won eight majors but never paid him? good question. by the way, yesterday we had jim courier on our program where we played for $100. jim had 100 bucks and the winner was going to get to keep it. we won. i left it in my pocket. i actually have jim courier s dough. party! fox news confirming u.s. spy planes are flieght skies over syria possibly preparing form s. airstrikes against isis in syria. eric: i m eric in for bill hemmer. syria asking the u.s. ask permission before launching any attacks. repte
was 98-71. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that is it for this special report. fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes trord right now, special report online in two seconds. did president obama just confuse you? so which is it? destroy isis or manage isis? can t be both. in his first comment since the beheading of a second american journalist. president obama contradicting himself, changing his message halfway through today s speech. our objective is clear. and that is to degrade and destroy isil and those who make the mistake of harming americans learn that we will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served. we know that if we are joined by the international community, we can continue to shrink isil s sphere of influence, it s effectiveness, it s financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem. joining us our political panel the national review jim garety the hill review a.b. stoddard and byron york. are we nitpicking or did he change? what s the story? no we are not nitpicking. the president has caught himself in a cycle of statements and clarifications. first came the we don t have a strategy. then age tried to clarify and then the president s statement today was a clarification of that statement. now, mark my words, is he going to have to clarify what he said today. and i think what you are seeing in washington is there is r. are a number of people, democrats included who are kind of looking past the president and saying we need to get a strategy in place. there are democrats now who are introducing legislation that would authorize the use of military force in syria, not covered by the authorization for iraq right now. i think they are just going to go ahead, regardless of what the president says right now. you know, a.b., there is a big difference between degrade and destroy. and let s face it, they are trying they are not just trying to killing people, they are killing people. manage the home depot or wal-mart. you kill and destroy people who are killers. it seems pretty plain to me what we should be doing. and so i wonder if it s i don t think his stomach is in it yet because he is allowing officials throughout his administration, jen socket, state department actually used the phrase yesterday the goal is to destroy isil but and she interrupts. she you see the defense secretary, the chairman of the joint chiefs, the pentagon spokesman everybody say words to this effect this is unprecedented threat. something we have never seen before. of course america is a target and there is a threat to the homeland, this can cannot be contained. it can only it must be destroyed and byron is right. the democrats who come back to town next week and are facing a panicked electorate, what is isis? what is isil? what is going on here? are looking for not only a strategy but a goal. there is nothing coming out of president obama s mouth about what he sees this threat what it represents are and what has to be done. he doesn t have to give the details of the strategy, but he is not engaging the public on the poo tensey of the threat. if you combined what president obama said today with what vice president joe biden was saying elsewhere in the country, you end one a philosophy which we are going to manage them to the gates of hell. if you are a war time president, you are seeing americans getting beheaded, i don t want the commander and chief to sound like espn dan patrick saying we can t stop them but we are going to hope to contain them. is there a certain level of beheadings that would be acceptable to this administration? you bring up vice president biden i think we had the sound bite just to show the contrast for the viewers. this is vice president biden on what he had to say about oh oh oh we don t have it yet. i m told we don t have it. anyway, it s joe biden yelling basically. is it yell or yelling or conviction by killers? we will follow terrorists to the gates of hell. isn t that the american people want to hear? probably so from the president. we have heard red line comments from the president in the past and he didn t stick with those. i think what the president needs to do is come up with a plan we re going to our goal is this and to achieve that goal we are going to do this, this, and this, and i m going to congress and talk about that and i think the president could impress the american people a lot more by actually having a plan. he doesn t have to give a big speech. i think though at least for me, i want some sort of passion or fire in the belly or clarity or direction. but we do have vice president biden right now. here is how vice president biden said it. they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. because hell is where they will reside. a.b., if that s not sort of we re going to shrink and manage passionate and the president pacific. i don t think the details need to be made public yet. i know they don t have a strategy but when they do they can take their time. the problem is you need to tell america is this a threat to the homeland right-hand we containing or destroying? but vice president biden gave away no strategy. what i sort of got like he is going to protect at least he has got some fire in his belly on this. we have a war time vice president and a peace time president right now. what we need at least biden has the passion. the strategy can come from it. look, we are going to do high feel more secure with the fact that biden is going to get the job done or do you think president obama is just listening to those two today? when you see biden is he pissed as hell that americans is getting tv language. they are tikd ticked as hell. i am writing a check to the fcc right now. something to be passionate about. we are managing. the only person who can make the case is the president. and so he has got to sign on to a plan and then he has to sell it. and to the american people because they want to hear from him. i think he just has to tell us that he is going to do something. you know, and really convince us. he doesn t have to give us the details, anyway. all right. panel, thank you. and president obama is sending those conflicting signals as he begins that european trip to attend the nato summit. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry is traveling with the president. he joins us live from whales. ed, nice to see you and notice the bar behind you. is that yours? henry s? it says henry s. i have no ownership but i might be there after this live shot, greta. we will see how it goes. what s going on, ed? bottom line is as you lay that out the white house is pushing back against this saying you don t have to have either/or you can have both. what the president meant was this is a two step process. in the short-term he wants to degrade isis to the point that they are less of a terror threat and then long term destroy them meaning that you are not going to destroy them overnight. this is going to take time. we ever dealing with them in iraq right now and is he still obviously, based on the beating he took at the news conference last week figuring out a strategy to deal with them in syria. problem of course is he is under pressure now not just from republicans but democrats as well. you heard dianne feinstein, the democratic chair of the intelligence committee over the weekend saying he is perhaps too cautious on all of this. now we have got a little pressure today from democratic senators bill nelson as well as mark warner of virginia. both democrats saying, look, you have got to come to congress with a strategy to actually eliminate isis and, in fact, nelson is now saying he is going to push legislation to authorize u.s. air strikes in syria, something the president is not ready for yet. he has left the door open to that but is he not quite ready for it yet. bottom line is bill nell sob the democratic senator from florida says you have got to go after the head of the snake and that s in syria right now, not iraq. so you see pressure not just from the right but the left as well with folks saying what is the strategy. so the more the president sort of tries today was almost a do-over, greta from last week s news conference and he was trying to clarify what he said last week about the no strategy. but then he left it so that white house aides it was so muddled they were clarifying the clarification. that s not any place a president wants to be. it shows that his message is a bit stuck right now as well as the actual substance of the strategy, greta. ed, thank you. and first president obama says he didn t have a strategy for syria and now he seems to have a very confusing goal. critics are outraged by what the president said today. our objective is clear. that is to degrade and destroy isil. the president at some point used fuzzy words. to the point where it is a manageable problem. are we going to contain isis or are we going to crush isis and the president has not answered that. the lack of having goal and objective unequivocal clear one continues to chase him. justice will be served. isis, what are we going to do about it? kill them. and representative jason chaffets joins us. good evening, sir. hey, greta. is it possible to destroy isis and also simultaneously manage the problem? i mean, i put the question to the panel. we sort of nitpicking or is the president have a confusing message? no. it s very confusing. the president seems to be a definite maybe. that is not what we need in the commander and chief of the united states of america. i think history will show that the president failed to deal with this about a year too late. we should have been dealing with this a year ago. nevertheless we are here today. we need a goal and an objective and then we need a strategy. it does not feel that the president of the united states has his heart into it because the moment he gets off the teleprompter we get this different answer saying it s manageable. manageable? that s when you are closing a lane on the freeway and you have got to go down the freeway with three lanes instead of four then you manage it this is isis they want death and destruction to the united states of america. what happens when congress comes back to town and president obama returns from the nato summit? well, i think you will see an increasing number of people from both sides of the aisle demanding that the president of the united states put forward an objective it and be candid with the american people as to what was going on. why didn t he deal with this when it was a little bit more contained when it spread into iraq and spread into other places. and now when we hear these beheadings which are just the most horrific things you see or can hear of. then he is thinking that maybe he ought to get a strategy? come on, mr. president. you have to do better than that. on the issues of war we always hope that members of house and the senate and the president rise above politics. and politics has no role in when it comes to war. but i m curious to what extent we are rapidly approaching the mid terms. are people going to i mean, to what extent are members of the house, the senate, and even the president going to be making decisions based on not what s right, necessarily or what is their conviction but on politics. if there is a clear and present danger to the united states of america, the president has all the authority he needs right now to deal with it immediately. now, i do think there is strength in the united states of america in a bipartisan way standing up strong the way we do consistently in support of israel, for instance. but we have got to come together as a nation. set this aside. this is not political theater here. what does that mean though? because, look, we can t get isis unless we go into syria. let s face it that s where isis is starting. nobody wants to admit that. and all the generals say we can t get them from the air. and so that s code for we have got to have boots on the ground. nobody wants to put boots on the ground. everybody is war weary. no wants to do that where are we right now if we want to kill isis, what are we going to do? we have to have the human intelligence. we have to have the signals intelligence. we have to act upon that intelligence in an immediate way. we have to form an international coalition of people. not listening to the u.n. but actually leading people. joining together with the saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and others and convincing them we are on the right side of this. i know there is some nefarious actors in that place. look what s going on. we have problems and chaos in libya. we have problems in egypt. we just have a foreign policy that over the last four and a half, five years has just fallen off. and we have to deal with it seriously. the problem is fundamentally, the president of the united states is not believed by the rest of the country. they don t trust him. they don t believe him. we have to get that credibility back. and how does he do that? we only have 30 seconds left but how do you get that? look. when the president puts out a red line, you have to act upon it. we are the united states of america. when our united states military is given a task, they will get it done. i have no doubt about their capability. but when it s ambiguous, when it s politically correct. when it s trying to be something that s just all these different nuances, then it doesn t work. and that s the fundamental problem. we started to have that problem. we had that problem in iraq and having that problem with isis. we are having that problem with president obama. that s the fundamental problem. elections have consequences and this is one of the consequences. congressman, thank you and we look forward to having you on the set when you get back to town. thank you, sir. thanks, greta. now to disturbing and maybe even terrifying new information about one of the americans who went to syria to fight for isis and got killed in battle. turns out before he left to join isis in syria, he worked at minneapolis saint paul international airport. now, reporter tom wyden broke that story. he joins us with the very latest. thank you for joining us. tell me who is this man? where did he work? you know, all great questions, greta. late this afternoon the airport confirmed our reporting from last night and also filled in the details of that work history you are talking about and some of the items on the resume quite frankly are going to cause real concern the airport knew muhammad by his real name ahmed. law enforcement sources confirm we are dealing with the same man. he worked at the airport 2001 and may 2011 and had access to the tarmac and planes. for most of that time he worked fueling up the planes themselves most recently though 2010, 2011 he worked cleaning planes. part of that job also was securing the planes. that was for delta global services which is owned by delta airlines. for both jobs he held security clearance secure identification display area you need an fbi back ground check to get that clearance but allows you to skip the metal detectors to get right on to the airport tarmac. the checkpoints involve a fairly cursory inspection of the vehicles going through. we don t know under what circumstances he left his job in may of 2011. the airport says it doesn t know. delta won t comment except to say it is aware of our reporting and working with local law enforcement. greta, can i tell to you some extent the chronology is going to come as a relief to law enforcement because it appears from social media accounts he was radicalized later than 2011 after he left the airport. around 2013, socialed me a count shifted from talking about women and dating. he was a bit of a player four wives, nine kids to talking about fighting and dying for a lie. last year he made that shift. maybe fbi feels better about that. i don t feel better somebody gets fbi check. works on a tarmac a reporter who exposed this. we didn t hear this from the airport or delta. the fact that he has changed what his content of social media doesn t make me feel a whole lot better. but what i do want to know do we know how he got into isis? that is stills a mystery what the recruiting level on the ground. obviously i was reporting back in 2007, we broke the story about the 20 minnesota some mall i didn ts who went to fight for al shabaab. we believe that this a whole different recruiting apparatus than what we are talking about today there were indictments for that case. we don t know how the recruiting was going down. people on the ground here recruiting or done mostly through social media at internet. you mention not feeling so great about this we didn t know about it? i will throw one other wrinkle. we didn t know about this alias until two hours ago. with the somali community here in minneapolis of them come toifficult this country not knowing their exact date of birth. their date of birth lists january 1st, 1972 because they don t know their birthday and also many of these clan names are very very similar. we have done stories where you can have two different individuals same name, same date of birth it gets very very confusing and appears to be confusing in this case as well. american people big thanks to you for breaking this story. they will look a lot closer at a lot of people. if people hadn t been broking locking our seat so the person in front of us couldn t recline, thank you. sure. while president obama sends mixed message the first arab country to condemn isis making a statement that is bold and is certain. ambassador john bolton is here next. plus, where has this been?

female narrator: sleep train challenged its manufacturers sleep train challenged its manufacturers to offer even lower prices. but the mattress price wars ends sunday. now it s posturepedic versus beautyrest with big savings of up to $400 off. serta icomfort and tempur-pedic go head-to-head with three years interest-free financing, plus free same-day delivery, setup, and removal of your old set. when brands compete, you save. mattress price wars ends sunday at sleep train. your ticket to a better night s sleep it is a manageable problem. a manageable problem. that is one of the ways president obama talked about isis today. but we are now hearing much stronger and yes straightforward language from the first arab country to condemn isis. a statement from the united arab emirates saying now is the time to it act the uae is ready to join. the international community sustained effort to threat unchecked will leave global ramification torres gek cadz to come. former u.n. ambassador john bolton joins us. uae coming out strong swinging. a very good friend to the united states, i think he and his government see is that if somebody doesn t stand up to the islamic state that the first victims will be arab governments friendly to the united states. i think this is very important. very unusual for the uae to be that far out front. i think they are representing a number of other arab governments on the peninsula there. and i think what they are begging for at this point is american leadership. you have got david cammeron who has got rather strong language as well. what is sort of interesting is tomorrow going into the nato conference that everyone thought that it would be all ukraine. there could be a lot of isis discussion because, you know, this does have broad ramifications. i think the europeans are are extraordinarily concerned about the hundreds, maybe thousands of people fighting with isis right now who have pass pordz to come back into their countries and perhaps obama hasn t figured out that we re similarly at risk. but the europeans see it very very acute maybe that will help wake him up but i doubt it. the man who worked isis fighter, american, who worked for 10 years the a minneapolis airport fueling planes and cleaning plans planes with a security clearance and the fbi didn t know about him. i think that s a failure by the fbi. no question about it. but the failure by the president is his world view. his ideology. he will not admit that this threat is real. he won t see it as a war. and, therefore, he won t act to do something about it this press conference today which everybody has remarked about is the reflects the triumph of ideology over your script writers. because they told him who what to say degrade and destroy. but then when he got a chance to answer questions, what came out was what he actually believes. he does believe you can make it a manageable problem because it s a law enforcement issue. it s not a war. well, look, the first we have had two beheadings of americans. and the worst video. it s hard to think of, you know, it s almost seems inevitable isis has threatened to kill those two and they did it they have threatened to come to the united states and do things here. i don t know why we would think that suddenly they wouldn t follow through. their record are, they are 2-ofor their threats. they re killing americans. that gives the president full power under the constitution to defend the united states and its citizens. whether he goes to congress for authorization or not, i don t think he needs it but the fact is i think the people are way ahead him. that s why you see democrats rushing to introduce authorizations to use military force because they see themselves in peril if somebody in their party doesn t act. but it will be. that bothers me. then we go i hate the political aspect of it. i hope that, you know, in the issue of warp, that, you know, we look beyond that. we should but he doesn t see it as a war. and i will just give you one example. to quote from him back in 2009, referring to afghanistan to try and people are trying to tease him out in an abc news interview what s your objective in afghanistan he said the following: i m always worried about using the word victory because, you know, it invokes the notion of emperor coming down and signing a surrender to mcarthur. now, obviously the president didn t study much american history at college because he didn t sign the instrument of surrender. he says flat out i m worried about this word victory if you are in a war, that s the only legitimate objective and he won t declare the war. he won t acknowledge the war. and he won t go for victory. ambassador, thank you, sir. thank you. and this could be huge. new surveillance video, 18 cameras rolling at the check point where and when sergeant tahmooressi was arrested in mexico. what is in those tapes and could it get the marine out of prison? sergeant tahmooressi san? lawyer trord next. kid: do you pay him? dad: of course. kid: how much? dad: i don t know exactly. kid: what if you re not happy? does he have to pay you back? dad: nope. kid: why not?

my problem is i crossed the border by accident and i have three guns in my truck. so you are in mexico? yeah. there is nothing i can help you with. did you ever intend to drive into mexico? no. i told them i said i have all my stuff back here plus i have three guns but i didn t mean to be in mexico it was an accident. a military officer come, found me guilty from the beginning and made me sign paperwork that i it was like a math equation in his head, three guns, man, equals prison, what could the surveillance video show and how could it help free our marine. his lawyer joins us from tijuana. good evening, sir. good evening, greta. thanks for having me. good to have you. those tapes will either help or hurt sergeant tahmooressi. it will either corroborate his statements or it will help the mexican authorities. you have seen the tapes or do you know what it shows? they are strictly video footage not audio from the screen. there are 18 cameras. the defense asked for each and every camera that was deployed at the customs check point. however, we suspect that andrew s image will appear only on some of them and we might, of course, get redundant footage from different angles but, basically, what we intend to prove, first and foremost is his prolonged detention at the border inspection station at the secondary inspection area for what amounted to almost 8 hours. that s the main purpose of viewing the tapes. you have heard from the prosecutor or from any witness in the case that he was acting in a way at the border which suggests he was trying to hide something or obnoxious or trying to avoid detention or do you hear the flip side and cooperative and guns were in the car? what are you hearing might be showing on the tape and what are you hearing from people who were there? well, the initial written report by the customs officers is pretty abstract it does not lend itself to that interpretation. it only says what andrew s arrival time was and the step-by-step procedure for reviewing an inspection of the vehicle. however, however, when the officers were questioned at several past hearings, they insisted that communication with andrew was forth right and forth coming. and they insist that they spoke in english which i have serious doubts to that. andrew has always said that they were speaking in spanish and that only at the end of his incursion in that secondary inspection area was he made available, some summary translation of what was happening. but he wasn t involved in the conversation as it took place because he couldn t because of the language barrier. so, i think a lot gets lost in translation. picture tells a thousand words. we will hope to see if this footage croshtsz his version, i believe it will. the most important version is his detention of 7 and a half hours. signs or clean them up at that exit or change so others are less likely to make a mistake? yes, they have. immediately following andrew s arrest bigger and more visible signs were placed and i believe if anything else, this case has served the purpose of making people aware that there is a possibility of accidently driving in to the customs inspection area. am i correct in that the mexican law is to violate the mexican law you have to intend to bring the guns into the country against the law so that an accidental driving into the mexico would not be a violation? you actually have to have the intent? that s exactly right, greta. under mexican law, this particular offense requires criminal intent whereby to argue the contrary point, this is not an offense that could be committed accidently or negligently. so, prosecutor needs to prove criminal intent and direct will to commit the crime on the part of the defendant. that has not happened yet. so, we believe that once the trial is over, we will of course, prevail and andrew will be acquitted. fernando, thank you, the next court hearing is tuesday. thank you very much, fernando. thank you. let s go off the record for answer m why are we justout? 18 cameras with surveillance tape on mexican border check point where and when sergeant tahmooressi entered mexico. that s huge. those 18 cameras of tapes could tell or corroborate whether he committed a crime whether he intended to violate mexico s gun law or mistakenly entered the country and happened to have his law lawfully registered gunness his possession. one is a crime, the other is not. those tapes could be crucial evidence. they might show his demeanor was he obnoxious and defiant or confused and compliant obeying every direction suggesting it s one big mistake. there is no audio. it could help tend to corroborate. beyond that one thing is certain those tapes should have been seen by the judge months ago. that s what this is. mexico doesn t give a damn and apparently neither does the obama administration. they never pushed to have this case fast tracked. as a consequence our marine has been sitting in a prison not able to speak the language. not knowing what to expect. sergeant tahmooressi needs the judicial process sped up. tomorrow is not justice. it s cruel. get it done. let s move this forward. that s my off-the-record comment tonight. straight ahead is as president obama and western allies head to the summit. vladimir putin try to pull the rug out underneath nato with a big suggestion. what is the russian president up to now. find out next. boardwalk arcade regulated by a las vegas casino. regulations threatening to put a a family business out of business. that s coming up. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you re like nothing can replace brad! then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we ll pay for a car that s a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. i wish. please, please, please, please, please.

well, it s actually late to the game. i mean, president poor shenk co-of ukraine has put out a peace plan several months ago when remains a well thought out restructured plan which which we have been encouraging, ukraine has been encouraging and all of ukraine has been encouraging the russians to support. it is certainly curious that president s putin creativity comes right before nato is about to meet. right before u leaders are getting together to decide the next round of sanctions. what we need from the russians is action, not words at this point. how do you think it will be received by nato? i realize that nato is a big organization with about 28 countries. i realize that how do you think this last minute putin peace plan is going to be received? well, look. you know, obviously, all along we have been emphasizing that there are opportunities for russia to be a constructive partner to choose an off ramp instead of an escalation and russia has missed those opportunities at every chance. if russia is now ready to be constructive party and engage in decan a late bringing russian troops back off ukrainian soil. deescalate the violence in eastern ukraine, of course there will be support for that there is going to be a great deal of skepticism. we have heard words before and we haven t seen them followed through with action. as nato leaders get together in wales this week obviously concerned about reinforcing security in europe and that will be their focus. well, obviously the prime minister of ukraine is unconvinced. he has said that this is an attempt by putin, by moscow to deceive. so, he is not persuaded by this at all. any last ditch attempt that comes with this curious timing i think is warrants great skepticism. at the same time we need to be always at the ready to welcome a diest can a la tore diest could you la move. do you think that the news today that france is going to cancel the delivery of the helicopter carrier is making at least moscow making russia feel the pinch at all? is this something that, you know, is going to have any impact at all? sure it has an impact and has an impact as part of a broader, i mean, it s another evidence of how you isolated russia is now in the international community and how isolated it finds itself. and it has an impact in the context of the broader costs that are being imposed on russia for the irresponsible behavior that has been perpetrated by the kremlin over these last months. i don t know why but for some reason i find it a badge of honor to you, tip my hat that the foreign minister of russia is accusing you of boorish behavior. what provoked that and what are your thoughts about that? well, you know, this was reportedly in response to the statement that i delivered on behalf of the united states at the osc permanent council last thursday. you know, i gone back and looked at the statement in fact the russian ambassador complained at the time i asked him to point out what he didn t like in that statement. he was unable to and then they put out name calling. you know, if the russian foreign ministry had some counter arguments i would be happy to sit down and talk with them about them. to me and rest of the world, i think it s plain that the russian government has failed to take every opportunity to deescalate here. this crisis is in part connected to the deep problems russia has at home. we can t see russia s aggression abroad as disconnected from russia s oppression at home. these are no acts that russia takes, no wrong that russia commits abroad will fix any of the problems it has at home with corruption, with restrictions on human rights, et cetera. ambassador, i take it, you are not backing down one second from anything you have said and you stand by everything you have said? i stand by the statements of the u.s. delegates here, absolutely. you know, and that is not to say that the you he know, the objective here is to make a difference, not to make a point. the fact is that the russian government, the kremlin has been making a series of decisions and taking a series of actions, which are counter productive for security in europe. which are counter productive for russia s long-term interests and which they need to be held to account for. it is the responsibility of the international community. this is part of the international system. sometimes there are costs to enforcing and reinforcing the rules of the international system that provide for international commerce. international security. russia needs to be held to account for the violations that they perpetrated over the last month. ambassador, thank you, sir for joining us. and a popular ocean front arcade now drowning in regulations. will the boardwalk business be forced to shut down. the latest in our choking capitalism investigation. that s next. 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 anuto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. that would be my daughter hi dad. she s a dietitian. and back when i wasn t eating right, she got me drinking boost. it s got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

[ laughter ] they re all a bunch of bol cheffics. historically at least. why do they hit him when he was just picked? because he was picked by obama. they re for a travel ban. obama isn t. there s nobody he could have picked other than john boehner that they wouldn t have protested. i know ron klain and the way josh describes him is exactly right. his job is not to be the chief doctor. we have people at cdc. he is to be there for dod and hhs and cdc jam together on this stuff and to smooth it over from a bureaucratic perspective. now, is that truly necessary? maybe, maybe not. [ all speak at once ] we need somebody that s going to have policy, someone who is going to set the policy, slam the door on west africa or we don t. somebody s got to do something on preparation, training nurses, make sure that gets done. and someone has to explain the whole damn thing to the country. this person has to wear a lot of hats. a lot of hats. but does his appointment as ebola czar make the general public feel any safer or more confident? i think the answer is no. when you say somebody has to be in charge. the person who should be in charge and the president of the united states and the surgeon general that we still don t have. right. we need to look, we need to have a surgeon general upon. who s fault is it that we don t have a surgeon general? it s congress s fault we don t have a surgeon general. the president knows who he wants and congress doesn t want that person because it s the president of the united states making the decision. take a look at this. before today, many republicans were pushing the president to appoint a czar. today many are attacking the new czar already. john fleming of louisiana tweeted, obama appoints a czar, not even a doctor. congressman from maryland, worst ebola epidemic in history. president obama puts a government bureaucrat with no health care experience in charge. and here comes stephen king, he tweeted, president obama will name political operative ron klain as ebola czar. too much obama administration competition to name him ebola spin czar. ted cruz said, we don t need another so-called czar. we need presidential leadership. this is a public health crisis and, the answer isn t another white house political operative. the answer is the commander in chief who stands up and leads, and banning flights from those nations and acting decisively to secure our southern border. the southern border, the african traffic, he s covering all the ethnic bases. yeah, yeah. hispanics, blacks, probably got something for arabs too here. it s so blatantly tribal and not useful what s the southern border got to do with it has nothing to do with anything we re talking about. senator ted cruz, from texas, at reign of april. this 28 wtweet was fantastic. i m not sure how you can ban flights from africa, but not out of texas. all of the cases are from people who worked with thomas eric duncan, who died, the first person who had ebola in the united states and died. now amber vinson, nina pham, the person on the cruise ship, all from texas. why aren t these people calling for a ban on flights from texas. do the people on the carnival cruise line know who is cruising with them? they do now. this is going to be like jonah and the whale. what s still amazing, the republican party is once again doing their war on science. you ask any public health expert on this, and they ll say a travel ban is a bad idea. [ all speak at once ] i know emotionally tell me why it is. because the way to deal with ebola is to stop the fire where it s burning brightest, which is in africa. if you have a travel ban, people can t get in, people can t get out. i so, so totally disagree on this. british airways has enacted a travel ban. we have to be really serious about this. why import it into the country? we re not importing it. but there can be exceptions made, doctors, health care providers that need to go to africa and deal with the crisis can fly let me finish. [ all speak at once ] imagine if you are the person who, for example, all the women who were in this bridal boutique in texas over the weekend, shopping with someone with ebola, doesn t know it. my 8-year-old daughter has asked me, why are we not treating people in africa? somebody answer that question. politico has a great story, they talked to transportation experts who say, that if you ban all commercial flights, there s no way you can get people in and out to deal with this the way you need to. the military aircraft can do that. we don t have that happening. but we can have it happen. secretary levitt who is hhs secretary under bush was on this network earlier today saying that every study that s been done with travel bans and epidemics has shown that they don t work. [ all speak at once ] didn t we go through this? there s precedence here. didn t they shut down all traffic and and what did we do with h 1 n 1 influencea, with the pandemic. there were all kinds of things that were enacted that we re still not doing. we don t have all the answers. [ all speak at once ] it s not the right thing to do. but the public health we don t want people to panic, but the public health experts have also told us you can t easily transmit it. where are you on this? i think it s a bad idea, also because, one, you can t do it because there are no direct flights, as jeremy peters said. it s through brussels and paris right. but you lose the ability to monitor and track. you will have people who will slip out of guinea, sierra leone, the other country that i cannot remember. liberia. liberia, thank you. and come through europe and other places where the person looking at passports are not going to see they ve come from these places. i think it s important from a public health standpoint that we know who has the disease won t they still see the origin, where they came from. let s say they re coming through australia. do the australians let them on the plane? let s say they re coming through singapore. [ all speak at once ] people who don t have passports from these countries. the experts state it s not practical and won t have real benefit. i know people are freaked out, but we ve had only three cases so far and no american is yet to die from this. and it s three too many. the question i would ask is, if we can t control, if the hospital can t control, i think it s texas presbyterian, didn t even keep a list of all of the people who were in contact with the gentleman who died, how on earth do we think that we are safe by continuing to allow people to come in the country and we don t even know if they re sick? well, travel ban won t lead to better hospital practices. and thousands of more people die from the flu in this country than ebola. for liberals, progressives and moderates on this panel, tough question. is the president trusted on this? or do people think he s being politically correct? do they trust him to make a national security on this, or are they saying he doesn t want to offend the african countries? that s what i keep hearing. i think i trust the president to do the right thing, but the appointment of klain as a czar that doesn t direct does not report directly to the president, but reports to susan rice and to the homeland security people, that smells of politics. he should be reporting to the president. he should be a czar? absolutely. and i agree with michelle on that. but we have to keep in mind, there are capable people in the places where they need to be. dr. frieden is a very respected person in the field of infectious diseases. i agree. he s been an incredible leader of the cdc. why don t they make him the czar? [ all speak at once ] we don t want to take him away from what he s doing. there s a different philosophy, even in moderate form, the republican philosophy. there has to be a clear chain of command, five-star general, and work your way down to colonel and everybody knows who to salute. when you have somebody at the hhs and somebody at homeland security, and there s one person to report to all of them. are they the boss and he s the spokesperson? they ll say, wait a minute, who s idea was this? is this susan rice s idea? is it monica what s her name, is it her idea? and this is the problem. it s structural. i m telling you, this has been the president s problem from the beginning, no chief of staff, not a clear line of authority and the people don t believe in his effectiveness. anyway, the round table is coming back and how close are the midterm elections? so close the smallest, most trivial things, like a guy using a fan, or a woman keeping a secret who she voted for could decide the whole shebang. and that s a fact. whether you like it or not, this is hardball, a place for politics. really important to us. you can just get on the plane and relax. i love to travel, no foreign transaction fees means real savings. we can go to any country and spend money the way we would in the us. when i spend money on this card i can see brazil in my future. i use the explorer card to earn miles in order to go visit my family which means a lot to me. a wake-up call. but it s not happening out there. it s happening in here. [ sirens wailing ] inside of you. even if you re treating your crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis, an occasional flare may be a sign of damaging inflammation. learn more about the role damaging inflammation may be playing in your symptoms with the expert advice tool at crohnsandcolitis.com. and then speak with your gastroenterologist. two new polls to tell you about. let s check the hardball scoreboard. first to colorado, a poll has corey gardner up by six now over udall. gardner s been leading in recent polls by six points, his biggest lead so far, it could be breaking gardner s way. next to georgia, michelle nunn is up one point over perdue. that race is close, but it looks like it might be moving to nine. we ll be right back. (receptionist) gunderman group. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they ll only show up when you print a label and it s automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. 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. welcome back to hardball. call it razzle-dazzle or trivial pursuit. tight races in the country. tied in the florida governor s race, 44-44. virtually tied in kansas. and baker and coakley are dead tide there. nearly all the senate contests are all within the margin of error, and anything can move the needle on this stuff. even the weird stuff. yes, there s been weird stuff. especially this week. let s begin with that odd story in kentucky this week. this week, democratic senate candidate alison lundergan grimes battled mitch mcconnell, and they were peppered with tough questions, but it was the one that grimes didn t answer which has exploded into the headlines. why are you reluctant to give an answer on whether or not you voted for president obama? bill, there s no reluctancey. this is a matter of principle. our constitution grants here in kentucky, the constitutional right for privacy at the ballot box, for a secret ballot. so you won t answer that question tonight? again, you have that right. senator mcconnell has that right. every kentuckian has the right for privacy at the ballot box. if i as chief election official don t stand up for that right, who in kentucky will? principle? in an upcoming documentary she isn t afraid to tell you how she voted in a different 2008 contest. take a look. tell me about the first time you voted. who did you vote for and what issues were most important to you? well, i turned 18 in 1996. unfortunately, it was after president clinton s election. i had hoped to be able to vote for him. i got a chance to vote for secretary clinton in 2008. there s the big smile, when i voted for clinton. my mom never told my dad ever that she voted for kennedy. of course it s a right. of course it s a right. there s a principle. it s a secret ballot. it s okay to say you voted for hillary, and now i think it may be more political. i honestly don t have a clue who she voted for. i suspect that there really is a possibility that she voted that she might have voted for romney, or maybe she didn t vote for president at all. why wouldn t she vote for obama? i don t know. maybe she didn t like him. maybe she was out of loyalty to hillary clinton in 2008. maybe she didn t like the direction of the country. here s the problem for her. from my appreciate as perspective as a female, this is an opportunity as a female candidate to stick it to her opposition, to speak up and speak her mind and explain how she voted and why she voted. because in 2012, the difference between who we saw speaking at the republican national convention and who we saw speaking at the democratic national convention, showed two fundamentally different visions of what the future of the country should look like and kentuckians would know that based on who she voted for. she s being hammered for not answering the question. i get why she didn t answer the question. politically, she can t. she s running in a state that absolutely hates the president. and so for her to say, i voted for barack obama is to try to snuff out her chances against mcconnell. would that be a headline? in kentucky it would be. for a democrat, yeah. she s in a close race against the senate minority leader who could become majority leader. in a close race [ all speak at once ] you have a theory here. it was strategic, she had it ready. she was going to say it on principle. did she know the documentary was coming out next week? maybe she forgot about it. let s say she voted for romney in 2012 or mccain in 2008, that kills her with democrats. so i m of the thinking that she can t answer the question because that s a fair statement, assuming rationality. [ all speak at once ] but the last thing anyone can not that it doesn t hurt her? right. the last thing a politician can do is look shifty. right. and for her to come, let s assume she voted for barack obama, or assume she didn t, she s running as a democrat, she needs the democratic base to turn out. she can t win without them. why she didn t say initially, listen, i did not vote for the guy who wanted to lower taxes on the rich and wanted not to give health care to half a million kentuckians, so i didn t do that. i voted for the guy who i disagreed with on other matters, but who wanted to give the middle class people a tax cut and give you health care. if she can t pull that off up against mitch mcconnell who is sort of the rocky of politics in terms of throwing hard hits, then she s not punching at her weight level. let s move on. we don t know if it has an impact. we assume it hurt her, but we haven t seen the new polls. anyway, the florida tan and the florida fan. [ laughter ] i ve known about this since i moderated his first debate eight years ago. that s his deal. in the strangest debate moment of our times, it could decide the florida governor s race. it s 44-44. anyway, there he is. the democrat charlie crist is tied with rick scott. it s a big real state. it isn t some back water. it s a big state with a lot of different people in it. 44 all. crist took the stage. scott didn t, for seven minutes. here s what happened. governor crist has asked to have a fan, a small fan placed under his podium. the rules of the debate that i was shown by the scott campaign, say that there should be no fan. somehow there is a fan there, and for that reason, ladies and gentlemen, i am being told that governor scott will not join us for this debate. frank, have you ever seen anything like this? no, i haven t. this is remarkable over sort of a trivial issue, no matter which side you believe you re on. [ cheers and applause ] that has to be the most unique beginning to any debate i don t think we ll forget. not only in florida, but i think anywhere in the country. why did you insist on bringing a fan here when your campaign knew this would be a contentious issue? [ cheers and applause ] why not? you know, is there anything wrong with being comfortable? i don t think there is. anyway, the vote was energized to the crist campaign. they re fund-raising off it. there s this ad, attacking scott. [ fan sounds ] are we really going to debate about a fan? or are we going to talk about education, and the environment and the future of our state? [ cheers and applause ] i mean, really. well, in its response, the republican party of florida sponsored a post on buzz feed called, crist hits the fan, including 25 pictures of crist with his fan. i think charlie is winning this, maybe because i like him personally. i don t know the issues, but it looked like he was prepared for this. he was very debonair and the other guy who didn t show up, had no idea what to say. he was totally inarticulate. but of course crist looked cool, calm, and collected and tan. and a man with a plan. you knew he always used a fan. other reporters know that he uses it. so he s standing there, thinking, i can t believe this. i came here to debate this guy. he won t come out because of the fan. give me some psycho babble. why did scott make an issue of this? anybody got a theory? i think he was thinking about the ads that he could use. one of his lines [ all speak at once ] in the debate, he s sweating, he s sweating because of the 800 in x, y, z it s florida! that s the key thing. anybody watching at home says, i like my fan. in fact, a little ac would be nice too. did you see, gentlemen, the cover of time magazine about the male menopause? and that s what i thought about. crist is having a hot flash. [ laughter ] but you didn t show the clip when scott comes finally comes out after seven minutes. so bad. that he then insists he didn t come out because crist wasn t there. but people said, he was there. he s been standing there for seven minutes and scott became goofy and odd, and i think that was the worst part of the night. remember groucho marks? are you gonna believe me or we all saw this. i think it helps crist, but at 44-44, something s going to happen. when we come back, here s something you don t see every day. a celebrity has an attack ad, this is west wing s martin sheen going after the other guy. this is rare. they re usually nice to their guy and they don t dump on the other guy, but he does. this is hardball, the place for politics. s-fedex has flat rate shipping. it s called fedex one rate ®. and it s affordable. sounds great. (cell phone typing) (typing continues) (woosh) (cell phones buzz, chirp) and we have to work the weekend. great. more good news-it s friday! woo! ship a pak via fedex express saver® for as low as $7.50. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night,nd. and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. don t let non-24 get in the way of your pursuit of happiness. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are24/7branches? it s just i m a little reluctant to try new things. what s wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah. i do. try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. there was no question she reminds you every day. but your erectile dysfunction-that could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat 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 symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial. for over 19 million people.

[ cheers and applause ] ha. is there anything wrong with being comfortable? now that is how you win votes in florida. right now a million people in florida are turning to their friends going i mean he s got a point. you know, you stand all night in the lights, i mean, he should be comfortable. back to hardball, time for the side show. florida governor rick scott seven-minute boycott over charlie crist s fan on wednesday night debate has continued to dominate political news and the fanfare shows no sign of dying down. here s stephen colbert s reaction. all anyone is talking about today is fangate. folks, clearly for scott s campaign, last night blew. and if you turn the switch the other way, it sucked. [ laughter and applause ] meanwhile, both sides in this debate are still oscillating over whether a fan was a violation. scott s campaign signed a rules document stating that candidates may not bring electronic devices, including fans. but crist campaign added with understanding that the debate host will address any temperature issues with a fan if necessary. all of which is just splitting hairs, which is also unfair to rick scott. [ laughter ] next up, martin sheen is known to be an activist for democratic causes. now he s gone a step further and narrated an attack ad. released on the web today, it resembles a classic film, accusing the republican of practicing the same kind of vulture captain talism that romney got accused of in 2012. he made a fortune on the misfortune of the hard-working people. he got his start with mitt romney and those bane boys. after that, he headed west to the windy city. the pattern started to emerge. patterns with zeros and dollar signs, patterns where other people suffered, where other people took the hit. and rauner, he took the money and ran. he s a man who runs over people to get what he wants. now he wants something new. what s next? they re all going to be doing it now. finally president obama signs an executive order today to protect credit card holders from the increasing threat of identity theft. when he was signing the order, he shared a personal story, the president did about a recent experience when his own credit card was canceled due to suspected fraud. i went to a restaurant up in new york when i was there, and my credit card was rejected. [ laughter ] i guess i don t use it enough. they thought there was some fraud going on. fortunately michelle had hers.

[ all speak at once ] the story s not over. it s like jesus from the bible. this came out at the beginning of the week. on thursday, they changed changed the language. the english version of this. can i explain this to you, my brother? it doesn t matter what the english version. it s the italian version that matters. it s the american catholics who are more conservative, who wanted this change. i think what we have here is the beginning of a very public fight. you may want to get us involved in a fight, but the report was met with some resistance from more conservative parts of the church. some wording in the english translation was revised. quote, a section titled welcoming homosexual persons was changed in the english translation to providing for homosexual persons. a little different there. in reference to people in same-sex union, as partners, was changed to these people. [ laughter ] but the italian version has not been changed and that s the official text that the reverend lombar lombardi, the vatican spokesperson. he s representing the pope, no doubt, but while the people who pushed for the translation changed, or as you say, the american conservative members okay, captain quibble. [ laughter ] i m with jonathan and i think it s a wonderful thing. championing the cause for 20 years, we ought to treat each other as human beings. stop blowing police whistles when somebody is different from us. it is a civil rights issue, it s a human issue. i think this pope is fantastic. i will be very happy when all of the language in whatever version we re looking at, treats everyone equally. and they are touching it with the rest of the world in terms of gay marriage. and touch it with the united states concerning the role of women in the church. 2,000 years of division, 2,000 years of christianity. when you look at the arab world and say how awful, that was most of and then when you look at it, i guess that s why some people i work with, who are jewish, like to see this. because it s a broad statement. not about orientation and identity. but about us and them. we are one. that s a bigger statement than who s in and who s out, and what do you stand for and that s what most of european history is. it s about the self-perception of the church? do they see themselves as being exclusive, or holier and strict and that s okay because we re going to heaven and nobody else is. so i think the pope is expressing this really great humisthu human statistic in a wistic in - here s something you don t know. priest jobs are jobs. they don t just do servitude. when someone is having a marital problem with their husband beating them, or their kids are manic and they don t know how to deal with them. working and middle class women go to see the priest and sit down and say, i can t live with this guy anymore. you don t know what it s like. he hit me the other day. priests deal with that. or my son doesn t know what he is. he s confused. we have to figure out how to deal with this. that s the guy. so this pope is that guy. and not to pivot too much, but one of the reasons i brought up the issue in dealing with women, one of the things that we see here as the new frontier, there have been studies that show, for example, most women will go to their religious leader in a situation of domestic violence and ask what to do. you know why? it s secret. it s secret. does the leader say leave and make sure you re safe. or do they stay? and the roll of the church for women and homosexuality in the church and whether or not they ll view all of this as being equal in god s eyes is important, and we are well on that path. they start talking about punishment and you can t take communion, they create disincentives for women to do what they need to do to protect themselves. i don t think that s enforced, in fact. there s nobody at the altar saying, no, you don t get i know ex-communication means something, but you can go to communion. no one s stopping you. but the tone is stopping you. or the question, did you submit? why didn t you submit? i think you re on to something. because imagine if a priest said stick with joker man who is beating the hell out of you, that s frightening. because the woman would accept that religious leadership to a point. exactly. the round table will be back with the week s most interesting republican, rand paul. this is hardball, the place for politics. a villain is only as good as the technology at his fingertips. i love having a free checked bag. with my united mileageplus explorer card. i have saved $75 in checked bag fees. priority boarding is really important to us. you can just get on the plane and relax. i love to travel, no foreign transaction fees means real savings. we can go to any country and spend money the way we would in the us. when i spend money on this card i can see brazil in my future. i use the explorer card to earn miles in order to go visit my family which means a lot to me. trading places, rand paul makes a play for the african american vote for republicans. is it real? back with the round table after this. nineteen years ago, we thought, wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad? so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie s list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers. conveniently stay up to date on progress. and effortlessly turn your photos into finished projects with our snapfix app. visit angieslist.com today. the most amazing thing about the ford fusion isn t the way it looks. the most amazing thing? is the way it sees. with blind spot technology, a lane-keeping system and a standard rearview camera, the fusion is ready for whatever comes your way. go prepared. go further. a wake-up call. but it s not happening out there. it s happening in here.

[ laughter ] when we return, let me finish with my view about the historic challenge of changing any electorate to the other side. you re watching hardball, a place for politics. you know hidden things. ok, why s that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. (receptionist) gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they ll only show up when you print a label and it s automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome!

thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that s it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes on the record from washington right now. developing now, just got sprung out of quarantine. 45 people impose quarantine in dallas. back out in public, also tonight two nurses got sick with ebola treating ebola patients. some say it s because of their protective gear. did they wear it wrong? did the gear leak in the cdc expected to announce new guidelines at any moment. on the record investigates when i put on the hazmat suit to the test. also, breaking now, the search for a missing uva co-ed. right now race is on to identify human remains found in virginia. is it hanna graham? our on the record team is on the ground investigating. this is a fox news alert. isis launching multiple simultaneous attacks. keeping up pressure near baghdad. the u.s. military is now air dropping weapons to kurdish fighters inside syria in the town of kobani. tracking thee developments. tell me first what s going on in baghdad where you are and what s going on in kobani. baghdad targeting predominantly she a areas. targeting the city of can caballa. car bombs went off, targeting multiple areas in that province multiple casualties. baghdad, areas under severe for the week to 10 days. this is a form of isis retaliating against what s happening to them iraqi forces on the ground in anbar, closer to finally allowed iraqi kurdish fighters only the iraqis across the border from kobani. no turkish. and while that dropped drop off ammunition and other supplies to battle isis. saud, thank you. because of these new developments we spoke to admiral a short time ago. nice to see you, sir. good good to he see you, greta. i understand we are dropping some small arms or some arms at least to help the kurds in kobani. is that correct? that s correct. last night we conducted an air drop of some 28 bundles of arms, weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies to the kurdish forces that are fighting inside kobani. how did we do that? i mean, you know, was it just one single drop or multiple drops? what kind of aircraft? was there any dangers to our pilots. multiple air drops c 130 transport aircraft. they split the load between the three of them and it was in one mission. one sortee as we would call it, you know, together mission they took off enemy the time they got back. we did do an assessment this morning and able to assess but one of the bundles got into the right handle. the other bundle missed the target, but you may have seen in central command s press release today, we actually destroyed that bundle with a bomb so the isil terrorists couldn t get to it successful mission. done under cover of darkness last night over kobani. i take it that we did that because the kurdish forces in that city are not doing particularly well against isis or isil as you say. i take it had they been on a roll so to speak winning, we wouldn t need to do that. actually, greta, it s kind of the opposite. they have been doing very well against isil. we he that they are in control. kurdish forces are in control of the bulk of the city. doesn t mean it s not skill out of. they were running desperately low on arms, ammunition and medical supplies and needed it to continue it the fight. we have made kobani a priority because the enemy has made it priority. they are presenting themselves in much greater numbers there making themselves vulnerable, reviewing targets that we can take advantage of. we are taking add advantage of it that from the air. they have been fighting quite hard. let me talk about some of the simultaneous attacks they almost seem synchronized by isis including the area of the mosul dam i read earlier today. that of course, was something that the iraqi forces had taken back from isis before. have there been attacks in the last 24, 36 hours that put that dam at risk? there have been constant attacks through the iraq, greta. nothing that we deem that puts the mosul dam facility at any kind of imminent threat. again, doesn t mean that this enemy doesn t want that dam back, they do. and they continue to threaten other positions held by iraqi security forces and kurdish forces but nothing that we see right now that would tell us that the dam complex is in some kind of imminent threat of being retaken. i have also learned that turkey seems to be allowing kurdish fighters to cross over border; is that correct? is turkey now sort of stepping up a little bit more and participating more and helping more? i don t have anything on that particular report. i have seen those reports. again, i would kind of leaf it to the turks to describe what they are doing. but, look, turkey is a key nato ally and partner in this. they are on the border with iraq and syria. they have got more than a million refugees they are trying it deal with and doing quite well with that foreign fighter flow all by themselves a problem with that as well. they are in this coalition, they have said they are going to distribute. we know that they will, we have had had a great discussion with them just last week. three days european command and a central command team on the ground. turkey will step up. they continue to tribute. and, again, the specific ways they will do that that s really for t turks announce. how about saudi arabia? a lot of my viewers aren t happy that saudi arabia doesn t seem to be ponying up a lot in this. they have a lot of money. they could at least be footing a lot of this bill. what are they doing or not doing? they are involved in coalition air operations for one. and for number two, they have agreed to host the train and equip program that we want to get started. we to have a partner in the region so we can actually conduct this training. they have signed up for that. we have a team that s been working with saudi authorities to check out othe facility to build the regimen and curriculum and what is going to look like. the saudis have been a partner in this. out of syria, he has been so quiet in this. i have seen nothing. at least frat military perspective the way we would describe the sir yam regime as passive. certainly passive vocally as have you pointed out but also passive from interference perspective there has been no interference from syrian military forces at all in any of the activity that we have been doing inside that country. admiral, always nice to he see you. thank you, sir. thanks, greta. always great to be with you. earlier this month john kerry insisted saving co-ban was not key to u.s. strategy. what s up? does the air drop of weapons show a change it in u.s. strategy. lt. colonel oliver north joins us. it s a change in u.s. strategy in part because president of turkey who is adamantly opposed to an independent kurdistan, he has long seen kurds in kobani fighting desperately to save their city as part of the problem. because they are all affiliate with the pkk the kurdistan workers party. he is allowing them to come through because he sees those as different kurds. kobani has been a side show a diversion ever since it started. al baghdadi the head of isis wanted something is to focus our attention while he went to the main fight anbar province inside iraq. what you have got going on in iraq is dangerous. 15 simultaneous attacks today. iraq being attacked every day as saud did during your interview with him from baghdad. every sing day suicide bombers are probing and penetrating and rehearsing for attack on baghdad. the isis forces are ultimately commanded by ago bad dagy who sees himself as a kay live. he is going to protect himself from the hegemon of shiites. why they are getting in baghdad. exactly. he is describing as as affiliated with the shiites. what i will tell what you it will make its would. if we do a deal with the ayatollahs in iran, nuclear weapons, we will validate what his propaganda has been saying now for month. if you look at the leadership of isis inside iraq, they are nearly all former republican guards senior officers. they know baghdad they lived in baghdad. they are the ones preparing operations for attack. most people and there is a report on it right now from people on the ground. these are boots on the ground. they are predicting that there is going to be a major attack in baghdad against the largest u.s. embassy on the planet. they are the gates of baghdad. they are coming for us. all right. isis is growing. every day. stronger? meanwhile while there is attention on doe bane and what is happening there that isis is exploding in growth and power and moving in on baghdad? indeed they are. invested now in three sides. on bar province which is the euphrates river valley going all the way from one side of iraq all the way out to the syrian border is now in the hands, except for ha haditha dam they will not blow up. they want to control that third of electrical power going into baghdad. what do you think president obama is thinking? i don t think he gives a dam. i think he is hoping that he can hold the lid on this until after this election so it won t be just another disaster for this administration. let s say that s true. move into december and january, isis has shown no indication it s shrinking or getting weaker. if it is getting stronger and stronger and growing in numbers, what happens? unless we can build a relationship with the sunnies we abandon in on garr. is there still hopeless. there may be time to get him over the election. force all this attack on the american embassy in baghdad, obama can take a deep breath and it really doesn t matter to him as long as he gets election. how good is the information? is this just supposition that our baghdad embassy is going to get hit? i think there is a lot of americans out there deeply concerned about it. deeply concerned or any sort of evidence, i mean beyond deeply concerned. i m concerned every single day that i walk out i m not going to get hit by a bus? what s the deeply concerned level. probably more likely baghdad gets attacked and you get hit by a bus. we got that one. thank you sir. in a fox news alert. the cdc calling the first two nurses who got sick with protocol a breach in protocol. no one seems to be able to answer. the cdc is announcing new guidelines for the gear work by healthcare workers treating ebola patient. john roberts live in atlanta with the latest. john? greta, good evening to you. we will get to that in just a second. first of all, though, some good news on ebola from here in atlanta just down the street at emory university hospital after being hospitalized and treated for some 40 days patient x is released today. doctor infected treating patients in sierra leone. he has chosen to remain anonymous. we understand in the days to come he will make some public statements. meantime in class today, more questions about nurse amber vinson who was infected with ebola and is currently at emory university hospital and how she got on that flight from cleveland to dallas a week ago. officials in dallas politely today throwing the centers for disease control under the bus saying cdc scientists did not check with policymakers in dallas before giving vinson the green light to travel. judge clay jenkins one of those policymakers said that was an sleuth mistake on behalf of everyone this morning apologized that it ever happened. now, to the new protocol guidelines for the centers for disease control putting out for healthcare workers, it s going on right now. the press conference, tele briefing actually. they are saying that there has to be three things that happen before healthcare worker is allowed to get near ebola patient. they have to be repeatedly trained on healthcare equipment. putting it on taking it off. no skin imposed in all of their moments in an ebola ward have it be super advised by a trained person who can watch for any little mistakes that they re making. they have to be clad head to tow toe in one of those impermable suits head on and face shield as well and double gloves where necessary to make sure to minimize the chance of contamination. we also understand and hope to ask this question in a moment here of the cdc director. thought being given, greta of not a travel ban per se but on restricting travel in some way, shape or form, maybe restricting visas or the type of voice saturdays issued travelers from west africa here from here to the united states. hope to bring you more on that a little bit later. greta. john, the doctor released today, an american getting care in the united states or is that someone from another nation? it is an american doctor. don t forget that all at patients contracted ebola from west africa and brought here to the united states are american citizens. thank you, john. and in a few minutes, i will try on a hazmat suit myself. anyway, john, thank you. today in texas, it must have felt a lit like getting a monopoly get out of jail card. the quarantine springing dozens of people who had contact with thomas did you know duncan. they are no longer at risk of getting the disease or spreading the disease that includes his fiancee and their family. will carr live in dallas. will? good evening greta now that 48 people have been cleared or will be cleared very shortly. these people had had initial contact with thomas eric done can when he came to this hospital and mistakenly sent home it includes his fiancee and several of his family members. they have been living in seclusion in a gated neighborhood in dallas in a home provided by the logical catholic church. there are still 120 other people who had some kind of contact with duncan or his specimen when he came back here to texas health presbyterian. all of those people are continuing to be monitored. this afternoon about 50 nurses held a press conference to express their confidence in texas health presbyterian. they say it s a safe environment. but then refused to answer any question. this, of course, comes on the heals of duncan dying and two of their own getting ebola. tonight nina pham is in stable condition at the national institutes of health, her boyfriend, three of her family members and even dog bentley have all been quarantined. the second nurse to have ebola amber vinson is in stable condition in atlanta at emory hospital tonight. the cdc is monitoring more than 1440 people who she had contact in ohio two weekends ago. they also contacted everyone on her flight from dallas to cleveland and then back to dallas. overall tonight, greta, local leaders tell us they are cautiously optimistic but still monitoring a lot of people. back to you. thank you. vacation pastors are not very happy calling the cruise ship a floating petri dish. dallas hospital lab worker who handled bacteriological samples. that cruise ship after being refused to dock. the lab worker and husband were quarantine ited during the cruise. thousands of passengers streaming on to the dock expressing relief to get off that ship. griff jenkins spoke to some of them. this has been the most horrifying experience ever. back in port, passengers on board the carnival magic finally home, days after learning that someone on board handled samples of the ebola virus. the whole hospital shouldn t be able to take trips right now, basically. i mean until they know for sure people aren t contagious. but not all passengers nearly as concerned. seriously? heart disease is the number one killer in america and, yet, nobody was pushing themselves away from the buffet. so, obviously we were okay. we really felt at no danger. it was fine. october 12th, the at risk passenger faces no travel restrictions and boards the cruise. days later on wednesday the cdc contacts carnival and the woman voluntarily self-quarantines on board the ship. i think we have you had have been at least aware of it. i think it was a problem with the cdc approving her to travel. the cdc probably should have stopped her from traveling, period. and saturday, the coast guard arriving, transporting health workers to administer a blood test, a site that instilled little confidence in the passengers on board. i m glad everyone is okay and able to get off the ship. health officials confirm the lab worker has tested negative for ebola. and after leaving the ship, she and her husband drove home on their own a few hours before the other passe ahead, the cdc as it announces new guidelines for safety gear, we wanted to see how difficult it really is for healthcare workers to get in and out of those hazmat suits. we re going to show you my experience firsthand. putting the suits on or maybe testing me. that s next. also developing news in the case of hannah graham. will the remains found over the weekend turn out to be the missing uva co-ed? does her body hold a clue to who murdered her? plus the suspect in the graham case just now indicted another rain rape and attempted murder in the washington, d.c. area. all the latest ahead. and news tonight, there may be a suspected serial killer in the nation s heartland. the body count so far?

hi, greta. that s correct. jesse matthew indicted for attempted murder rape incident in fairfax county. what s significant as we all learned the sad and perhaps relieving news over the weekend the discovery of human remains believed that of hannah graham was also in the vicinity of morgan harrington. we all remember that case. and now for the first time, we can connect some dots linking d.n.a. evidence between jesse matthew, hannah graham, morgan harrington in this 2005 incident. we spoke earlier with the editor of this weekly newspaper courtney stuart. here is what she had had to say. there are new very serious charges against mr. matthew related to 2000 a sexual assault in fairfax. that is the case that provided a d.n.a. link to the morgan harrington case. d.n.a. was found from an unidentified assailant on her shirt, which was located a few weeks after she disappeared in 2009. we didn t know who that belonged to. now, with the indictment against him, in this fairfax case, it starts to become clear that, you know, d.n.a. likely playing a role in these investigations and they continue to help them as they these other places mr. matthew may have been involved. now, greta, what s important to note is that jesse matthew has not been charged in the morgan harrington case but the d.n.a. evidence connecting those dots. so we ll sees a the story continues to play out here in charlottesville, greta? ted williams went to the scene where the human remains were found. greta, this is the road, the area that on saturday around noon time searching for uva missing student hannah graham came upon remains about 200 yards up this road; this is now not a missing person investigation any longer. this is now a death investigation. and ted joins us live from charlottesville. ted, as i understand it it, 10 miles from where she was last seen. do you know why they happened to search there? is the man in jail talking good fortune in terms of finding her? greta, this is a very rural area where there are no lights. but what made this area important to it law enforcement was that jesse matthew lived in that area with his mother four miles from where morgan harrington was found in 2009. this was an area now that they wanted to search because method of operation having found morgan harrington in that area. but it s so vast. i mean, it really they just happened to be searching that area. so it wasn t like is he talking or they got a tip, you know, look in this area. they just figured this is where the other person is found and this is where he lives in the nearby area. they just searched the area. is that essentially what led to these remains? that essentially is what led to them. there was a search group on saturday searching that area. found nothing. decided to search abandoned property and there in a bed creek they found skeletal remains and they found clothing and they now believe that may very well be connected with the death perhaps of man na graham. i was just going to ask about the clothing. the d.n.a. tests haven t come back they have found clothing similar to what hannah was wearing that night? yeah. greta, what is also important as i was about to say is the skeletal remains, while i was there today i saw all sorts of animals. one of the animals i saw in that area was some the buzzards. buzzards have a way of dealing with scemght remains and as it pertains to the closing, try to remember jesse matthew was seen on the mall in charlottesville with his arms around hannah graham. if that is the case then there would be clearly a transfer of d.n.a. transfer of fibers as well. ted, thank you. and remains found identify her killer assuming that is hannah. what clues are on those remains, dr. michael baden with more. possible serial killer. seven peoplemore bodies expectee found. how many more?tomo gruesome thought live coming. up. quick look at the weather. nice day, beautiful tomorrow. tomorrow is full of promise. we can come back tomorrrow. and we promise to keep it that way. driven to preserve the environment, csx moves a ton of freight nearly 450 miles on one gallon of fuel. what a day. can t wait til tomorrow. right now investigators are trying to determine if human remains found in virginia are hannah graham s. if that is hannah, she has been missing since september 13. so, will they be able to determine how she was murdered? forensic pathologist dr. michael baden joins us. good evening, sir. hi, greta. good evening. dr. baden, if those are her remains outside, since september 13, in the environment and the cause of death becomes very important in an investigation. yes. how would you determine cause of death based on the fact that body has been exposed to the environment so long? well, apparently from the description of the skeletal remains there, that there is a great deal of decomposition which would go along with the fact that the time of death is very near, 35 days she has been missing. but, if there was a shooting, a stabbing, a bat injury, that would still be able to be determined from the injury to pope and skelton. if she was strangled, which is the more common way that deaths occur in these situations then it depends whether the bone in the wind pipe, the adam s apple is still there. they are small wokens bones that can be taken away. that would be important to see if there was an injuries to the skeletal structures in the neck to be able to declare that the death was due to strangulation. so that makes makes it more difficult to determine the actual cause of death. in light of fact that the body has been out there. if this woman, i m assuming it s hannah, if she were were in a struggle with her assailant is it likely to be any d.n.a. on her remains at this time that could identify her killer? well, probably not. and the problem is, even if matthew s d.n.a. were found on her, it was seen on the security camera that the night that he was with her, touching her and holding her. now, there could be then a defense of consensual touching and that s what explains the d.n.a. but, they have enough circumstantial evidence to have, you know, probable cause. but in a trial, it may be difficult even if they found d.n.a., which is unlikely under those conditions of the body and the weather. i suppose if her clothes are torn, i don t know if that s from the environment or whatever, but that might be a little bit helpful in terms of, you know, whether there was a struggle of any kind, right? yeah. that s very good. buttons were torn off and things like that. that can sometimes be an important clue clue as to the fact that it s non-con essential encounter greta, wonderful. saw buzzards up there. there is a report on the internet that two weeks before the next door neighbor had called the tip line to say that he had seen buzzards around the abandoned house nearby it would be interesting to see if police responded to that tip because the next door neighbor was right. that was two weeks earlier and the body would have been in better condition. then we would know a little bit more. dr. bae den, thank you, sir. thank you, greta. house oversight committee wants to hear from the new ebola czar. why is ron klain refusing to testify? our political panel is here next. i m going to talk to you off-the-record. i have some questions for president obama about sergeant andrew tahmooressi, our marine jailed in mexico. does the president know something we don t? if not, why is the president ignoring sergeant tahmooressi? i have a thought. i m going to tell you straight ahead. (receptionist) gunderman group. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they ll only show up when you print a label and it s automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. the nation s new ebola czar ron klain says no thanks for a chance to testify in front of the house oversight committee. he officially starts his new job on wednesday so should he testify or not? joining us our political panel national journal ron foreign yea, susan ferrechio and john mccormick. john, should he testify or not? no. he has barely been on the job. there is plenty of people that can talk about what the problem has been. all the problems made going forward. he can t talk about what he is going to be doing going forward. he hasn t even gotten into the job. i think the criticism of the appointment has been just as political as the appointment. well, why appoint a guy who can t come in and know what he is doing right from the beginning? this is a big serious problem. wouldn t you want to appoint someone who right out of of gate. first day on the job write on the first page. actually i may have. i will say it s not a reporter we are talking about here. somebody who is handling an immediate crisis. part of the criticism appointing klain is that is he a political operative and not an expert so kind of shines a light on whether or not he was a good choice, you know, the fact that he is not willing to come before this committee. i think it would be helpful if he had some healthcare experience, you know, the white house is pointing to his chief credentials the fact that he oversaw the stimulus. i don t think the stimulus was exactly acknowledged to be a great managerial success. neither was the chad for gore in florida which he participated in. looks good to me. specific issue was brought to him. just one example. everyone has bad judgment. emergency response, that s the president of the united states. if you are going to appoint a czar. two people responsible for what s been going wrong. so, we re talking about the wrong things here. we don t need a czar, we need a president who is really on top of it if you are going to have a czar, actually give him authority to disrupt the current system. right now ron klein has no authority. it would be embarrassment. if he he appeared before that committee he would be disseminated by all the angry republicans in his lack of knowledge what s going on. let me move to another subject, controversial memo focusing a former pollster warning the democrats that they better get the african-american vote out and now today president obama is doing interviews with african-american radio stations like he has been doing for the last week or so is what his press secretary said today. that s a hugely important for the president to make sure that as many voters get out that are favorable to him as possible. you know, part of the story in georgia, for example, is the demographic change that s gone on right there. in the year 2,000, 72% of the registered voters were white. and now only 59% are. so that changing demographics definitely helping out the democrats. it s going to be very difficult for republicans to win if they can t learn to do better among this voting block. it makes a huge difference whether you 5% or 15% of african-american voters. republicans can t write them off just because they are going to lose the majority. let me ask a question near and dear to your vote the african-american vote in detroit. has the president earned that african-american vote in detroit? he will get a huge share. has he earned it? i don t know. i think that s a better question for the african-americans to determine. what s going on right now is blame shifting and excuse making. you have the white house blaming the folks who are running the senate campaigns for not getting out the black vote. just before i came on here i got a text from a very senior democrat involved in these campaigns blaming the white house. that s all this is about right now. the unemployment rate for blacks is nearly doubled what it is for the general population. 11.4%. which is terrible. it s terrible for the african-americans unemployment rate that high. president obama is not on the ballot. that s another issue. i mean, they have had record urine turnouts for the last two presidential elections better turnouts in mid terms. democrats know they where to lose the senate. that s why they are throwing each other under the bus right now. ible pa, thank you. let s all go off-the-record for a minute. i just don t get it why is president obama show nothing interest in our marine sergeant andrew tam tahmooressi? since march 31st the guy has been rotting in a mexico call prison plus struggling in a very sluggish at best mexican court system. what i don t get all these months later is why president obama is not all over this being the fiercest advocate. he is he sergeant tahmooressi s commander and chief. dent tell me is busy yes he is bidsy. president obama has a lot of chances to make a statement at a press conference or even in passing as he walks in marine one just to show he cares or at least he knows about sergeant tahmooressi. he even had a chance to bring it up with the president in mexico when they spoke over the summer. he never mentioned it. he ignored our marine. i don t get it all these months not one word about our jailed marine by president obama. if there is a a good reason president obama is stiffing sergeant tahmooressi. tell us. if he knows something about sergeant tahmooressi that would change our minds, tell us. i don t want to pushto get him out of that mexican prison if there is not a good reason not to. i m also going to dissergeant tahmooressi either. he fight four for this country i owe it to him you owe it to him and so does president obama. that s my off-the-record comment tonight. suspected serial killer seven women murdered and there could be more. a live report is next. 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, nd custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. in life there are things you want to touch and some you just don t. introducing the kohler touchless toilet. come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar, ask your doctor about farxiga. it s a different kind of medicine that works by removing some sugar from your body. along with diet and exercise, farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. with one pill a day, farxiga helps lower your a1c. and, although it s not a weight-loss or blood-pressure drug, farxiga may help you lose weight and may even lower blood pressure when used with certain diabetes medicines. do not take if allergic to farxiga or its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include rash, swelling or difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you have any of these symptoms, stop taking farxiga and seek medical help right away. do not take farxiga if you have severe kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have bladder cancer. tell your doctor right away if you have blood or red color in your urine or pain while you urinate. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including dehydration, genital yeast infections in women and men, low blood sugar,kidney problems, and increased bad cholesterol. common side effects include urinary tract infections, changes in urination, and runny nose. do the walk of life yeah, you do the walk of life need to lower your blood sugar?

charges filed tonight against darren van. charged with one count of murder and one count of robbery but police suspect as you mentioned that there are six other cases tonight hook uphook up for prostitution web site. found him there. since is he arrest he has confessed he was trying work out a deal with prosecutor indiana. they have the death penalty, so the suggestion would certainly be that he was trying to get his own life spared. what we know about the victims is that they were all found in abandoned homes here in gary, indiana, only one of them had been reported missing. and one of them had been slightly decomposed in their body. police are now trying to put together details and investigate the claims that van gave them that he may be responsible for murders going back 20 years. so while these six bodies have been recovered in addition to the one found in the hotel, greta, police have a lot more work to do and there could be more bodies that turn up here in gary or in northwest, indiana. back to you. craig, thank you. and thank you for being with us. we will see you again tomorrow night right here at 7:00 p.m. eastern. right now it go to gretawire.com and answer. this why do you think president obama won t speak up about sergeant tahmooressi because he knows
