obama explain he wanting to enter a war that will align the u.s. with a government of the bar -- bashar al-asad in syria. troubling too is obama administration's seeming eagerness now to order our military in to war whether the ipresident and national media have guts to call it what it is or not it is war, in so doing advance not defeat hegemonic ambitions of iran. i hope that mr. obama's speech will include his pledge, and seek a national consensus, and congressional approval before sending our men and women in uniform into another conflict, i hope. and i pray. we're coming right back. lou: shocking new video, sends an nfl star to the sidelines, his wife comes to his defense. >> mental health expert dr. jeana loud en on domestic abuse jeana loud en on domestic abuse and the case of hard it can be...how ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe

not because of anything obama ever said or obama ever did. but it was the videos that had this dramatic psychological effect. so with the wind at his back, he's got the opportunity to explain one thing. and he should stop talking about what he's not going to do. there's no need to talk about that. just don't do it. and i also think his mission tomorrow night is not to lay out a plan, because the enemy is watching. it's to lay out the mission. what he wants to accomplish. no timelines. not like afghanistan where he said i'm going but i'm coming back. not like any of the other operations where he does one step this way and one step that way. he's got to say, here's the mission, here's how we know it will succeed, and i'm going to give the military the authority to go ahead and pursue it. don't give us details. don't tell us we're going to start to bomb in the isis headquarters of raqqa. they would presume that, i guess, but you don't have to announce it and you shouldn't. >> okay. putin, i guess he's not even going to deal with putin who i thin

should he point out that obama did not destroy the economy? but should they return the incumbent president to the white house? or take their chances on a challenger who claims he could be better? and then trying to enter that conversation with a journalist. >> host: did mitt romney ever have a chance? >> guest: absolutely. guess. he has said chance. but it was always going to be hard for him. >> host: talk about the obama field strategy. you cover that and "the gamble". >> guest: reid dash unloaded and addresses before the campaign ended. we knew where they were. i visited some local offices and then from the romney field offices. but to well-financed highly professional candidates but it will cancel out but in the advertising also. they have a lot of money. so it does not have been in a vacuum that mitt romney is in there to. so it has the bigger effect so maybe it does not mean better investment $4 per boat. >> host: use a barack obama did not have the field operations still would have won? >> he did have the advantages extroverts with the o

president obama president obama it is time for the world, especially muslim communities to explicitly, forcefully and consistently reject the ideology of organizations like al qaeda and isis. it is one of the tasks of all great religions to accommodate the faith with a modern, multi cultural world. no children are born hating. no children anywhere should be educated to hate other people. there should be no more tolerance of so-called clerics that call upon people to harm innocents because they're almost jewish or christian or muslim. it is time for a new compact among civilized people of this world toker rat cade war at most fund mental source and that is the corruption of young minds by violent ideology. >> president obama yesterday in his speech. we get your reaction today. and your confidence level of the president's strategy against isis. laying it out there in his comments before world leaders. if you want to watch the whole thing, go to our web site. c-span.org. u.s.a. today weighing in. in their opinion, the air strikes degrade isil but can they destroy. southeast man ticks asi

and obama himself will have to win. if it gains the alliances that it can actually use to defeat the islamic state group. >> nick schifrin in the middle east tonight. mike, welcome. >> hello john. >> what do you think the president's mission will be here? >> it's leadership. if he gets out in front and says the americans are going to lead this effort to destroy i.s.i.s. that will go a long way and then he will lay out a plan to do that. that's some of the things we expect, increase of air strikes, holistic approach, make sure the borders are sealed, contain them in iraq get the government stepped up and then deal with them in syria. >> there's been talk of air strikes in syria. what can be the ramifications of that? >> if they go after the head of the snake, that classic technique that we used in somalia, yemen, the leaders of this organization, it does degrade their capability on a going-forward basis. i would like to think we will gain intelligence over the next couple of months and then we'll look to pick off some of

president obama said obama care won't cost the american taxpayers a dime. he wasn't lying there either, because it's going to end up costing a trillion dollars, the games they play to try to cover up all the scandals and the lies they're perpetrating. the poor american public says why is fox reporting that -- you're right, they didn't have to dpi that day. >> i want to touch on the media stuff. i talked to bob earlier when he asked me, did you get krauthammer on tape when he saw this? >> i have been waiting for this. thank god we got him back finally. >> it takes a while. actually krauthammer and hayes discussing the media coverage on special report. >> the media aren't curious, nobody's asking why, it's a sleeper story, but once you get people under oath, you're going to get stuff coming in, this happened as maxwell is saying, then this is really serious. this is a cover-up. >> this is a nonstory to most people in the main stream media. >> if that actually happened, that's a huge story, that would be the beginning of the coverup. >> i think the scam here i

so we're just like the obamas, but we're not." so there's this way that as wonderful as it is-- this acceptance of the obama girls, this acceptance of michelle-- it still has the impact of marginalizing, for example, the fact that a majority of african-american children are being raised by... in households like mine, where you may have intergenerational women, but where you don't have a present father. it is still true that, for example, gay and lesbian families don't have the same kind of social recognition. so if you're a michelle obama but you're in a lesbian household, does the acceptance of the kind of heteronormative, you know, traditional picture of the obamas, does that, you know, kind of continue on and lead to a broader acceptance? i don't know. and i'm certainly, you know, a little distressed that at the same time that we have michelle obama, we have precious. >> hinojosa: and you're concerned about it because... i mean, that movie-- i haven't seen the movie, i read the book when it came out a long time ago-- is so incr

said it is not just an indictment of barack obama. it is about women putting their faith in government and big government and president obama promising them the federal government will do things like fill up their gas tank and reduce their student loans and give them free health care and expansion to health care when the reality is the government can't provide those things. charles: president obama got 55% of the women's vote in 2012. now have of the my disapproving of the job he is doing. look at sales growth, a huge winner, one of the top winners today up 20%. not bad for them. we have been teasing throughout the shows that there's a helmet with lasers inside that promise to help bald people grow their hair. the creator is here with us, former nasa scientist is with us. congratulations. you got a lot of hair, you are working at nasa. how did you decide to cure baldness? >> it has been known since 1965 that lasers do grow hair but it hasn't been brought to the house hold and taking $100,000 device and making it into a portable device

we have had the rhetoric from president obama. now comes the reality of those difficult choices, the killing of a hostage is designed to put pressure on president obama. and he does face some hard choices now. when does he take action here in syria? and where does he strike isis? who are the moderate rebels who might retake the ground after u.s. air strikes? pressure on president obama now to deliver on intentions here in syria. >> bill neely in damascus for us. thanks very much. stay safe as you travel in that country. you heard live reports in iraq and syria. earlier i spoke to denis mcdonough. welcome back. >> thanks for having me. >> let me start with this issue of terminology. i asked the president last week about whether he was preparing the country for war. he pushed back, said this is not a war. he has not used the terminology war. and yet there seem to be this debate about semantics between the pentagon, josh earnest. why are you calling a war on isis and why has the president been hesitant to call it a war. >> you asked

and obama. and you can't beat all that sort of stuff. >> that's where i have got my count right now, 52. you know, 52 for the republicans. and one of the things i have said before is how critical is that chairmanship of these committees? you cannot begin to contemplate this until you -- you have moved legislation on before. foreign policy has got, if you look at george h.w. bush, the only time foreign policy played that big a deal was the vietnam war. anyway, one more thing. >> i'm sorry. greg. >> i was actually going to agree with you on this. the issue is, it is what affects midterms might not be a person, but an event. the question is, do -- this is like for example like the gulf war, do americans care? and i always talk about what is the opposition to fnc, it's not cnn or msnbc, they don't actually matter. it's actually bravo and the e network. people are too distracted by -- now they're yelling at me, bob. people are too distracted by disposable entertainment. >> can we go now? one more thi

president obama wants to degrade isis, but do we want to see assad toppled? what is a strategy for iraq to put that country back together. >> with iraq to work with the kurds in the north and iraqi army and build up a new national guard of sunni warriors to be able to do more on ground as a companion to what we do in the air. i agree that american ground forces special forces and killers at night the way mcchrystal did would be far better but president president obama is not going to do is that, isn't that the next best thing? >> no, unless we're beating isis decisively, they are going to gaining ground. the basic problem here is that obama seems intent on deploying the minimum amount of force necessary to at least begin to achieve the objective. that approach is a grave mistake. actually we saw it in iraq in 2003. remember some of the democratic criticism coming from general s shinseki's approach -- >> inadds quaut force. >> we needed massive force up front, not at the back end. so the problem here is he's sending a kind of uncertain signal. it's not clear h

president obama has authorized u.s. airstrikes for the first time in syria and their expansion in iraq against the militant group islamic state. in a primetime address, obama vowed to hunt down islamic state militants wherever they are. >> we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. that means i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. this is a core principle of my presidency. if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. i want the american people to understand how this ever will be different from the wars in iraq and afghanistan. it will not involve american combat troops fighting on foreign soil. this counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, rely less effort to take out isil wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partners forces on the ground. >>'s plan includes over $500 million to arm and train syrian rebels. one group that has cast doubt on aiding the certain opposition is the family of steven sotloff, the a

obama claims was decimated. the president says america underestimated the threat from isis, formerly known as al qaeda in iraq, and who did the underestimating? why it was national intelligence director jim clapper and his colleagues. the president because not trying to blame clapper, how did we ever get that idea? what's happening here is simple. president obama misjudged the strength and resilience of america's terrorist enemies and has adopted an american foreign policy. the administration would like us to think we are seeing something else. brett? >> what do you make of this intelligence failure as the president talks about on 60 minutes? >> let's assume that there was a monstrous intelligence failure and all the intelligence agencies failed although they didn't to warn the president about isis. by february of this year, isis had captured ramadi and falluja, two big cities in iraq that had been formerly the focus of our activities in the past, falluja, especially. is you would think it might have dawned on s

it's aimed at america and president obama. another is just how calm steven sotloff is as he delivers what he probably knows is his last words, calm, even at the alarming point when the knife goes to his neck. this is a sad human story and the family says they know of the video and is grieving privately. jim sciutto, cnn, washington. >>> a fellow in the arab politics program and a friend of steven sotloff and joins us from jerusal jerusalem. >> steven was a very sweet guy. he was incredibly dedicated to covering syria and a number of conflicts and i think he probably would want to be known and remembered for his reporting, and his life covering these conflicts. >> do you ever talk about the risks of working in a place like syria? >> yes, he did, and in our last conversation last time i saw him, he talked about the problems of going into syria and to very chaotic situations and he was uncomfortable about it, but true to form, he was dedicated to his job. >> when you heard he had been taken, you know, it's horrible to think about

is obama going to do this? i don't know. the question is serious. but we just heard him saying a month ago, that it's a fantasy to imagine that the pharmacists and the doctors and the farmers of syria can in any way go against their enemies in the place and now he's going to announce that he's going to give the pharmacists tanks, without any other support on the ground, he's going to prevail. i think that's unlikely. the broad alliance, so far it's nine countries, all nato except australia, are any of them going to put soldiers on the ground? have we heard that? and if you compare it, what's the gold standard for a lorj coalition. george w. bush in iraq, the one that democrats called the unilateralists, who took us in alone. 37 countries with boots on the ground. >> here's how nancy pelosi describes the die colt my of how members felt about training an army of syrian rebels. >> i think that the threat of isis has changed some of the attitudes of members who before were concerned about hour training and assistance falling into the wrong hands. >> rem

obama also made fun of your views on russia. let's take a look at that. >> i'm glad that you recognize that al qaeda is a threat. a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest threat you said russia. not al qaeda. you said russia. in the 1980s are now calling to ask for your foreign policy back. >> when you look at ukraine and the decision not to keep u.s. troops in iraq and the decision not to arm the rebels in syria from the start, what do you make of the choices that this president has been making particularly here in the second term? >> well, i think the president is really out of touch with reality when it comes to what's happening in the world. and i don't know why that is. perhaps it's political philosophy, foreign policy views. he looked at russia and thought that was a friend we should reset relations with. he looked at al qaeda and said they're on the run. he looked at isis and said, oh, they're just the junior varsity. he looks at iraq and says they're strong and able to care for themselves. he is so out of

i think he's seen as obama's guy and people don't like obama. >> or his policies. there is a difference. i have a lot of problems with his policies. no, no, no. i think there is legitimate ways to go and political ways. but it is legitimate and there are people on the far right going back to the charge of muslim and is he born and health care leading us to damnations and that leads black people to be hilo sensitive why is there such harsh criticism directed at the president and attorney general. >> i seem to remember george bush and john ashcroft had pressure. it had nothing to do with race. >> there is a relationship why eric holder is the lost popular of the administration and nothing to do with race. it is his policies and if going to do with race, he is pushing the race in the face of americans and calling themal co criticism. and to energize the political base. he constantly uses race in ferguson and a texas courtroom challenging voter id. he uses race to mobilize the race. >> christian, i think what you have is a situation in the country where race is a major

and this guy barack obama got to win because of it. jack ryan probably would have won if he wasn't at the nightclub doing the wrong thing. these things happen. pat roberts is going to deal with this guy who is suddenly one of the most pivotal figures in the entire campaign majority backed if not in the senate. i think no one is going to go to the polls by the end of the public relations campaign to vote for the democrat. i think he is up against this guy greg or monday and he has a real race on his hand. >> roberts should stay out of night clubs. >> good advice. >> the panel leaves it there that's it for the panel. stay tuned to see how one late night show celebrated the return of football. hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov how can i ease t

this is obama's war. he has to convince the american public that his decision not to arm the syrian rebels when his military advisers urged him to a year ago was the right decision, whether or not his decision to hold off on bombing the assad regime was a good idea and whether pulling troops out of iraq was a good idea. history will judge whether or not this war which he is now launching is going to work and whether he can build a coalition domestically and internationally for this sustained mission. >> to nia's point the president and the pentagon deserves credit for pulling together the coalition quickly. the saudis maybe not doing anything, but part of the bombing campaign. in the short term he has to a degree you heard scott brown in the open say where is the clarity. he has muted the republican criticism. they say he was late to the game, should have been involved in syria earlier but he's essentially doing what they want to do as well. >> that rolls the ball forward because they want to argue about

what can president obama do? i mean -- saying we don't have a strate strategy, the pentagon says we're always -- we're always moving forward, trying to clean up a little after the president's remarks. nevertheless, they have not settled on a strategy that they want to convey, to defeat --not contain but defeat isis. >> yeah. i continue's about time to roll out some of these plans. the pentagon is working all the time on plans. it's just the administration that is not deciding. they is a broader range of options. they have to attack isis. they're doing some containment in iraq, but they cannot proceed without starting to take on isis in syria. they have to do so directly -- >> boundaries don't affect them. they said they're not going to be held back from boundaries. they keep seeing strikes, david, these strike of a convoy here, a truck there. it seems like we -- a lot more than that. killing hundreds of people, thousands of people in ditches. the report from amnesty international, they took a 3-year-old little gi

president obama yesterday saying that. we'll show you other comments from members of congress on their twitter page. but first more from the president last night where he talked about an outlined the threat that isis poses to iraq in the middle east. >> so isil poses a threat to the people in iraq and syria and the broader middle east, including american citizens, personnel and facilities. if left unchecked these terrorists could pose a growing threat, including to the united states. isil leaders have threatened america and our allies. intelligence community believes that thousands of foreigners, including europeans and some americans, have joined them in syria and iraq. trained and battle hardened, these fighters could try to return to their home countries and carry out deadly attacks. host: president obama outlining the threat posed by isis. go to our web site, c spain dooring for details. below that the story in the "washington times," you have have the story, militants have knowledge, cash, thrent in numbers. the intel

obama's approval sinks on tuesday, one day before president obama's speech outlining the u.s. fight against isis. the president's approval rating was at 42%. one day after his isis speech, according to gallup, his approval rating sank to 41%. his disapproval rating went to 54% after the speech. question, according to nielsen, 32 million viewers saw the speech. why did obama's approval ratings drop in the gallup tracking? too hawkish? too doveish? >> he's lost so much credibility of americans in terms of foreign policy. i don't think we've lived with anybody with that kind of record of failure as far as the american public sees it. so i think they are very nervous about what he's going to be leading the country into. and frankly, the more he goes in one direction, a lot of other americans are going to go in a different direction. >> americans hate isis, john, but they are really skeptical of plunging into another war in the middle east, i can tell you and they are going to get more so. obama was bounced into this thing by two videos. he called it syria, somebody else's civil wa

when president obama raised the possibility of the u.s. striking within syria, two and a half weeks ago, he had this reply. >> we are ready to be part of any coalition against terrorism. b, any strike in syria, without coordination with the sitting government is considered an aggression against syria. >> the u.s. did not coordinate with the assad regime. but shortly before the strikes, informed syria's envoy to the un that the strikes were coming. as to whether assad considers the strikes quote an aggression against syria, unquote, he certainly did not intercept or use antiaircraft power to stop the bombardment on his territory. >> question. why hasn't syria protested the violation of its sovereign air space? i ask you. go ahead. >> john what is happening here is the syrian regime of assad is basically content now to see the united states air force, as well as sunni arab nations in the middle east come together to bomb the opposition that assad has been effectively trying to fight for the last three years. let's roll it back a year ago. th

obama to join him in a campaign against a terrorist army in which the u.s. will clearly do less than it could and your ground troops and none of his will be the infantry, how eager would you be to sign up? bret? >> critics say this is like when he surged troops into afghanistan and then had a deadline date for withdrawal. what about sbrub agsds can with congress? the white house is not definitively saying he's going to ask for approval unlike the time when he was going to before the previous strike? >> the previous plan did an all but announced strike on syria was called off by him in order to go to congress. my sense about that was he didn't think he had to go to congress, but he thought if he tried it might be a way to get out of it. then of course vladimir putin came along and he made common cause with him that ended up leaving assad in power. he claims it got rid of nuclear weapons or chemical weapons, perhaps it did, at least some of them. i think in this instance now, i think he thinks he has to go ahead but i wouldn't rule out the possibility that he

if president obama is not going to do that, isn't this the next% thing? >> unless we are beating iciss and beating them decisively, the basic problem leer is that obama seems intent on deploying the minimum amount of force necessary to at least begin to achieve the objective. that approach is a grave mistake and actually we saw it in iraq in 2003, remember, some of the democratic criticism coming from the general's comments about our initial approach into iraq. >> an inadequate force. >> we needed the massive force up front, not at the back end. so the problem here is he's sending kind of an uncertain signal, it's not clear how long this is going to last. we still have the question of congressional authorization, maybe two months down the road for the broader strategy of arming the free syrian army. but you need a president that makes it much more clear that he intends to lead the american forces. >> democracies as we know are not very good at supporting long wars, we lose patience, is the president taking risk here when his advisors say this is going to

think obama will get support when he comes to wales? air forcees to get on one to leave wales, what does he want to walk away with? spearhead0 strong troop? a commitment from nato? what does he want us to mark -- what does he want? he was to send the message to the world that nato is a viable force. cameron willma and be pushing for more military spending by nato members. we have already seen a ramping the eastern and european states. it is a question of whether other countries are willing to follow suit. >> there is this almost ismongering perception, that one of the phrases used by the ukrainians. nato wants a spearhead him a ukrainian prime minister says, get ready for a full-scale invasion. merkel seems ready for more sanctions. when you talk to your client about the risks, where are we on the risk? you, one is the least and 10 is the most explosive, where are we on that scale? risk, you talk to clients every day about how to understand risk. in a are continuing to be high risk. on a scale of 1-10, we are up to seven or eight. russi

but the biggest news at this hour, president obama has -- the white house said that president obama will announce that eric holder, the u.s. attorney general, the fourth longest serving attorney general in the department's history, is going to resign. and that announcement is coming this afternoon. he's the first african-american attorney general, the longest serving member of president obama's cabinet. for more on this, randall pinkston joins us. >> reporter: yeah, this is a surprise for those of course who are not on the on the inside, but as you know, at the end of a first term of a president's office, there are changes in the guard, if you will, members of the cabinet in the private sector, and eric holder was among those who stayed on. and we had no idea this was going to happen. he has been in the office for six years, and he has been a long time prosecutor. at one point serving as a prosecutor in the district of columbia, and eric holder is from new york, and he was not a close friend of the president's, but of course they became very close in the course of their work together. he

president obama is pro-worker and america is in a better place for it. meanwhile, i think the president should be going to all of these states where the governors have failed, for instance, wisconsin, great start, mr. president. scott walker is an anti-union and of course wisconsin is worse off because of it. walker has passed sweeping anti-union legislation attacking public sector up ons. on monday president obama called out walker on backwards agenda. >> after all of the unions have done to build and protect working americans, i know it's frustrating when people have the gal to blame you for the problems facing working americans. i know you have some experience with that around here. >> walker is against raising the minimum wage and refused to set up a state exchange or expand medicaid under obama care. his radical agenda shows in the job performance. look at the numbers, from december of 2010 to december of 2013, wisconsin ranked 35th nationally in private sector job growth. every state bordering wisconsin has a higher job rate than the badger state.

obama boasted that the economy is improving on his watch. but the august jobs report released today shows otherwise. today's job report is the worst of this year and it shows a record number of americans no longer in the labor force. and the lowest total so far this year. while the unemployment rate dropped to 6.1%, 53 million of the people who are working do so on a freelance basis. that is one third of the total workforce. former clinton adviser doug schoen on this topic tonight. and also what happened in benghazi on september 112 years ago? the story straight from the men in the middle of the firefight that night in benghazi. brugger joins us with details of this exclusive interview with three of the men who survived. and at this hour, president obama returning to the from the nato summit in wales or one point it was considered by many to be weak and ineffective sections for the cease-fire reached today. >> the only reason that we are seeing the cease-fire at this moment is because of the sanctions that have already been applied and the t

, yo vi tu entrevista con obama. ¿dirÍas que fuiste duro con Él? >> despuÉs te cuento. >> ¿por quÉ? ¿por quÉ fuiste duro con él? >> creo que lo fui, fui duro, porque obama prometiÓ algo sobre inmigraciÓn y no lo cumpliÓ. >> yo soy duro con Él ahora porque Él estÁ haciendo un desastre. >> sÍ, tÚ crÍticas a obama, pero no criticaste igual al presidente bush. >> sÍ lo hice. >> yo vi la entrevista con bush, fue dÉbil. >> ¿quiÉn? >> tÚ disfrutas a bush: "¿dÓnde estÁn las armas de destrucciÓn masiva?", Él te dice: "no lo sé", y tÚ se lo dejaste pasar. >> lo dejÉ en el sentido de que ella quedaba claro que Él y su gobierno no habÍan librado una guerra efectiva en irak. >> no lo trataste igual, no trataste a bush de la misma manera que a obama. >> nuevamente, es tu opiniÓn, yo soy duro con todos. >> eso no es ni justo ni equilibrado. sÍ quieres ser justo y equilibrado tendrÍas que haber sido tan fuerte con los republicanos como lo eres contra los demÓcratas. no lo fuiste. >> si bajo el pr

c1 >>> obama escalates on isis. >> tonight i want to speak to you about what the united states will do with our friends and allies to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as isis. >> in a rare prime time address, president barack obama told the nation about his goals for dee feeding the islamic state. the president announced that in addition to the on going talk about airstrikes against isis in iraq, the u.s. will now likely begin bombing islamic state strong holds in syria. i have made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists in our country wherever they are. i will not hesitate to take action in syria as well as iraq. this is a core principle of my presidency. if you threaten america, you will findno safe haven. >> america will also take steps to cut off funding for the islamic states which range from foreign revenues to donations. he discussed the formation of an international coalition to fight isis. >> this is not our fight alone. american power can make a differs but we cannot do for iraqis what they can do for themselves. that is why i have insisted additio

president obama knows it. so he is imploring the world to unite against the islamic killers. >> in this century, we have faced a more lethal and ideological brand of terrorist who have perverted one of the world's great religions with access to technology that allows small groups to do great harm. they have embraced a night mariucci visn -- mariucciish division dividing the world into infidels killing as many americans as possible. >> you would think that fact alone would mobilize to all pitch in and directly attack terrorism. many of them don't. countries like germany, spain, japan, india do little to combat the jihad. sure, they will give us intel if they have it but you don't see leadership from much of the world. talking points has been pleasantly surprised by france. paris understands the danger and is helping out. great britain, canada, australia always help. but that pretty much ends the list of major contributors. president obama is making a big play to get muslim nations on board against the jihadists

the billion -- repeal of obama care. they are expected to spend millions, mostly though the dark money organizations. they pioneered the use of billionaire caucuses. closed door seminars to raise cash from donors. past attendees include sheldon aidel son, spending $100 million in the 2012 presidential election and committed $10 million this year to karl rove's crossroads g.p.s. nonprofit. these meetings known to raise as much as $50 million a pop. the democrats have taken on their own hush, hush affairs to rake in money. launched in 2005, the democracy alliance ams to: it's helped steer $500 million to liberal groups. attendees include billionaire financier george soro, and tom steyr, a heg funder, who has personally donated $26 million, and runs his own political nonprofit next gen climate. steyr focussed on defeating republican candidates in season state who question manmade climate change. >> billionaires thick tom steyr who hosted reed and others at his san francisco mansion. >> no matter who fakes control of condepr

una medida que prohibÍa a obama utilizar una amnistÍa. someter una votaciÓn. >>> el mundo entero ha condenado al futbolista ray ray ze el mundo entero menos ella su ahora esposa que lo defiende y asegura que la culpa de todo la tiene la prensa. cristina londoÑo informa. >>> las imÁgenes de lo ocurrido en el ascensor le han dado la vuelta al mundo y ahora estremecen las palabras de la novia no kaed inconsciente. en defensa de su ahora marido. aq >>> es nuestra vida, dijo en reacciÓn a la expulsion de su marido del football americano profesional y aÚn antes que se supiera que nike y electronic de video juegos han cancelado sus contratas. >>> a esta experta no le sorprende la defensa de la esposa ni que culpe al pÚblico y los medios de su desgracia. >>> quieren culpar un culpable, porque se quieren cubrir del problema. >>> aÑade que es comÚn que las vÍctimas minimo centro lo que les ocurriÓ. >>> si algo tiene de bueno el caso de ray rice es que ha sacado de las sombras a los estadios, la discusiÓn sobre la violencia domÉstica en

why what did you think of president obama's interview last night? >> i thought it was a blend of reasonable assertions and sleuth nonsense. >> all right. well let's start with the nonsense. >> i somehow thought you would. [ laughter ] >> all right. you are the nonsense thrower. go ahead. >> well, the thing that was most striking, of course, and which has made a lot of headlines today his effort to blame the intelligence community and its leader jim clapper for the failure to foresee the strength of isis in iraq. and the problem be with that is, even if we assume and it's not a correct assumption that there had been no intention to speak of on isis, back in february, isis had crossed the border from syria and captured fallujah and ramirez, -- ramadi, major iraqi. military action in the past so their capacities were unmistakable. that was back in ebb. if so the idea that along comes late summer and isis is sweeping across other parts of iraq and we miss the whole thing is absurd. >> well, it seems to me that president obama was saying, look, my intel

obama does not want to wage war. he wants to punt, to deflect the attack of americans on to the international community. >> we know that if we are joined by the international community we can continue to shrink isil's sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem. and the question is going to be making sure we have got the right strategy but also making sure that we have got the international will to do it. >> that statement is irresponsible. the president was elected to protect america and americans. the international community has nothing to do with that. now, if mr. obama can can rally the civilized world to help us, great. but you don't refuse to take protective action because places like italy and india won't join in. it is long past time for all americans to demand that their president protect them. it's that simple. teddy roosevelt's basic philosophy was speak softly and carry a big stick. with the obama administration we basicall

can president obama unite nato against russia and isis. meet an american who joined isis and find out why. also, a fighter jet goes terribly off course and the nfl on nbc kicks off tonight. good morning, and thank you for joining us. later today, the justice department is expected to launch a civil rights investigation of the entire ferguson, missouri police department. the new investigation will be broader because it looks into the conduct of the embattled police department over the past several years. the justice department with the help of the fbi already begun investigating the fatal shooting of unarmed michael brown by daren wilson. meanwhile, a missouri court official says broup was never kigted as a felony as a child and did not have an adult criminal record, but it never means he was not charge with lesser crimes. they are deciding whether or not to release the full record, juvenile records are sealed, but five news organizations filed motions to force the court to rerelease any records he might have had. president obama in wales f

nothing ever is ever going to be president obama's fault. as soon as i learn about that, i can tease, because the president used one of president reagan's favorite lines, are you better off since he's been in office? >>> the midterm elections are just five weeks away and president obama can feel it. his party is not going to lose control of the senate. >> do you think you can hold the senate? >> yes. i do. >> do you think you can sell this? >> you know what? -- >> you think you can convince people that they aring the fine economically? >> hopefully they get a chance to hear the argument. because all i'm doing is presenting the facts. >> president obama says he will hope in -- then he admitted some serious shortcomings. >> ronald reagan used to ask the question, are you better off than you were four years ago, in this case, are you better off than you were six? and the answer is, the country is definitely better off than we were when i came into office. and they don't feel, it, and the reasons they don't feel is it that incomes and the econom
