>>anna: almost the unofficial end of summer. folks are getting ready for labor day weekend and we are too. we're finishing our all american summer concert series. today we have country superstar justin moore. >>tucker: they're amazing already before 6 a.m. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. brian kilmeade, where are you? >>brian: here's the thing. i know it's tradition for the anchors to screw together the stage every thursday night leading into friday morning. i feel bad you two had to do it yourself because i'm out on the road. >>tucker: it was a labor of love. >>brian: how much room is there on the couch right now? tremendous. >>anna: we miss you. >>tucker: you're in dallas, texas. what are you doing there? >>brian: this is the seventh patriot golf day. as you guys know and hopefully you know at home, this day people go out anywhere you golf to participate in clubs, and a portion of the proceeds of

the green fees on that day go to the families of the fallen. major dan rueny, put it together. president bush said i want to take part when i'm out of office. this will be the third year of the last four years that president bush has taken part. he's tpw-g to be joining us in -- he's going to be joining us in about two and a half hours, his first interview since his heart operation when he took a routine exam on august 6 and found out you've got a blockage, we've got to fix that. we'll have a drive. lee thevino will be here. falls of honor was put together to give scholarships for families of those wounded in battle. executives and people like you give on a regular basis. families have to move on and get on and the

financial resources are not there in many cases. you have success stories. you'll meet some of the families forced to move on without the dad in the house. you'll see one of those scenarios today and meet major dan roon he y -- major dan rooney and find out what we can do. >>tucker: are you playing? >>brian: we're going to tee off. this is the club that two years ago they were fitted for me. if anyone tries to use these clubs, they won't work. >>anna: do they work for you, brian? >>brian: as you know, anna, you're a much better athlete than i am and a better golfer. i'm barely passed the beginner stage. two out of every six times now i'll hit it straight. every once in a while i'll miss entirely. but i'll like to drive on national television along maybe with the president,

lee tre vino will be here. >>tucker: we'll be judging you. >>brian: thank you, tucker. you'll sit in judgment. turn up the pressure just a little bit. >>anna: we've got to get to your news headline. terrifying moments during the fourth quarter of the denver broncos game. crowds watched in horror as a fan fell from an escalator at sports authority field. it is unclear how far he fell but he was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. good news? he was conscious. no word if alcohol was a factor. >> police in north carolina issuing an amber alert for this little girl after she was snatched from a car in a grocery star parking lot. the one-year-old was inside a car around 9:00 last night at the food lion in high point, north.

the vehicle described as a 2003 white chevy suburban with north carolina license plate bjx-1565. anyone with information should call 911. >> the biggest union leader in the united states souring on obamacare? he wants the president to fix it. >> the affordable care act is a major step in the right direction. i said yeah, we made some mistakes along the way. it still need to be tweaked. when the act was put together it wasn't thought completely through. the other mistake we made is it took away government's power to use its buying power to drive down the price of prescription drugs. >>anna: trumka is meeting with the administration in the coming weeks. his biggest concern changing full time work week from 40 hours to 30

hours. new video giving an inside look at the convicted fort hood shaorgt before shaorgt -- shooter before the massacre. >> -- increase the morale of nonmilitary soldiers. >>anna: the video shows army major nidal hasan giving a presentation at walter reed in june of 2007. it was titled the koranic world view as it relates to muslims in the military. it was provided to the defense as part of the discovery process in the fort hood case. experts say this should have been a red flag. >> major hasan had a significant accomplice when he pulled out his weapon and started shooting down unarmed innocents, and that accomplice was political correctness in our military. >> after the massacre nine army officers were reportedly reprimanded for leadership failure. those are your news headlines. >>tucker: unbelievable. it turns out the british

are not coming, but france may be back in. america is ready to go it alone either way. we're talking of course about the intended -- apparently intended attack on syria. white house officials saying off the record it could come at any time, most likely after saturday when the final u.n. inspectors leave that country. but the president not getting the coalition he sought. overnight the british parliament turned down prime minister david cameron's request to back the u.s. in that effort. >>anna: you see the cover of the daily news, the british aren't coming, the british aren't coming, saying the president is looking more like the lone ranger than paul revere. parliament coming out a vote not to go a 0 long with the -- not to go along with the unilateral attack against bashar assad. what do you think, brian? >>brian: you've got to get a bigger coalition;

they were on president bush. you need more partners. the coalition always included tony blair and the british. david cameron doesn't have the votes and saying i'm not going to go further. this is embarrassing after news to the media this thing would start as early as thursday almost giving out the exact detail about the amount of tomahawk missiles going off, we're going to send a message, assad is not going to be the target. then we find out the u.n. inspectors are not out until friday. then we find out we've got to come out with conclusions first before we do anything. guess what syria is doing? spreading out their military assets. moving their soldiers and some of the people we would be sending a message to out to places we can't touch them. they're putting choppers into neighborhoods. what kind of message are we going to send as we telegraph we're going to hit and now we find out what kind of support we're going to need and factor in something else.

congress, they're saying excuse me. does anyone want to ask what i think? there is a democratic demonstration in britain, but in the u.s. congress verification we can handle this. obviously you can't. >>tucker: even as a life long connnoser of irony i'm amazed. the president is acting even more unilateral than bush was accused of acting ten years ago without great britain, without a resolution. obama is doing exactly what he ran for president against when he pledge never to do. it is like animal farm, repainting slogans on the farm and pretending they were always that way. >>anna: we're starting to see arguments on both side.

charles krauthammer saying is it something to do with the president's ego saying don't cross the red line and once crossed not doing anything about it. and jack keane saying something should have been done earlier. >> no purpose whatsoever unless it is to assuage the guilty conscience of a president or vindicate the vanity of a president who has become the laughingstock around the world and whose word means nothing because last year he spoke about a red line and allowed all the red lines to be crossed without lifting a finger. maybe he feels compelled as a way to vindicate himself. you don't take a country into war as a way to vindicate your own standing. you do it to achieve strategic objectives on behalf of your country. if they're going to do a three-day strike with no intention of altering the balance of power in syria, altering the course of that civil war, the whole exercise is pointless and dangerous. >> we are dead wrong in not

having completed this strike already. in my mind, we should have informed the congress, informed the u.n., informed the allies who are willing, tell them the delivery date, if they can meet it fine, and then strike. here we are going through all this. this is not going to war. this is a limited military action similar to what reagan did against qaddafi, what clinton did against the al qaeda in afghanistan and other -- and what we did in bosnia-herzegovina. we are not committing this nation to war. >>tucker: the fall outfrom israel. >>anna: joining us live from jerusalem with breaking details is connor powell. good morning, connor. >> good morning. the world waits to see what happens in syria. israel is preparing for the possibility that either syria or iran or lebanon could strike back in israel. yesterday prime minister netanyahu issued a statement saying israel

deployed additional iron dome missile defense units. there are at least two iron dome batteries in northern israel now in addition to several other antimissile defense systems. israel calling up a limited number of army reservists and the government has been busy handing out gas masks. israel kept a close eye on the war in syria. israel launched two or three airstrikes into syria to knock out syrian weapons being transferred to hezbollah. here in israel, there is a lot of concern that a strike in syria could dramatically impact israelis. >>tucker: coming up, it was a perfect match. a brother donates his kidney to his sister but there was one problem. the hospital threw that kidney in the garbage. >>anna: new york's attorney general says donald trump ripped off students at his on-line university but the same guy had nothing to say when jon corzine couldn't find $1

>>anna: 17 minutes after the hour. new york attorney general eric schneiderman levying charges against trump university saying its real estate training program engaged in consistent, fraudulent and deceptive conduct. >>tucker: in the wake of this lawsuit, schneiderman's own actions have come under scrutiny when it came to former m.f. global jon corzine and his bankruptcy scandal. is schneiderman's targeting of donald trump politics at work? stuart varney joins us with the answer. here you have an attorney general who has the power to crush people and you suspect he's doing this for

political reasons? >> he is the most political attorney general in the united states of america. remind me of previous attorney general general in new york state. the man only goes after -- he's a democrat of course, on the left of the democrat party. he only goes after republicans, president obama's opponents, banks and wall street. he's tried to ride that anti-wall street wave, goes after those people but doesn't go after people like jon corzine. corzine is a democrat, former democrat senator, democrat governor of new jersey. and he is the man who ran a fund which lost -- quote unquote -- lost $1 billion of private money, still unaccounted for. >>tucker: it's not just that they didn't make the money. they actually lost track of it. >> can't find $1 billion. where is mr. schneiderman on this? >>anna: stu, isn't it pretty ironic that president obama met with

schneiderman hours before the $40 million suit was filed against donald trump, one of the president's harshest critics? >> i call it very telling. he meets with the president in syracuse last week. a couple of hours later he files this suit against donald trump. $40 million for misleading potential students for the trump entrepreneurial initiative. he's highly political. let's not lose sight of who jon corzine is. i want to roll a sound bite from joe biden saying what a great guy jon corzine is. >> i literally picked up the phone and called jon corzine and said, jon, what do you think we should do? the reason why we called jon is because we knew he knew about the economy. >> i'm sorry i'm laughing. it's not funny. eric schneiderman, attorney general to new york, has

done absolutely nothing about jon corzine because he's a democrat. he only goes after the president's opponents, like donald trump. >>tucker: is there anything scarier than an attorney general or prosecutor with political ambitions willing to hurt people in order to get ahead? >> it is the abuse of the attorney general's power, just like spitzer did previously in new york state. abuse of power. >>anna: stao*urt thank -- stuart, thank you so much. watch varney and company at 9:20 a.m. >>tucker: looks like the obama administration snuck in gun control rules. stay tuned. >>anna: eric holder says having to show i.d. to vote discriminates against minorities in texas. does it? our next guest says absolutely not. he has the facts to prove it. we'll talk to him next. ♪ [ male announcer ] even ragu users a.

>>tucker: while the world is on edge waiting to see what's going to happen in syria, the obama administration seems to have snuck in new gun control rules. the proposed measures will stop people from skirting around the law during background checks and target the import of military surplus weapons. 75 years of federal drug policy up in smoke. the obama administration allowing new laws to go forward in colorado and washington state that legalize marijuana. the justice department ruling says people can smoke, grow and buy pot. it means the federal government is now refusing to enforce its own laws passed by congress. >>anna: the justice department is filing suit against the state of texas

injecting the -- objecting to the voter i.d. law. we have a senior legal fellow for the heritage foundation and former department of justice official. thanks for being with us on "fox & friends." you say texas needs to do the same thing south carolina did. challenge justice and win. why is that? >> well, eric holder, who is also a politically driven a.g., went to court, tried to stop south carolina's voter i.d. law. he lost. south carolina had to spend $3.5 million fighting him but that law is now in place. the same is true in texas. the census bureau just released a report on the november election. it shows that blacks voted at a higher rates than whites in georgia and indiana, states with two of the strictest voter i.d.

laws in the country. >>anna: contrary to powell's assertion that this actually slows down the process, indeed you say it actually speeds up the process because you can -- the election officials are able to find the person's ballot quicker? >> right. i've spoken with election officials. they tel voters are first checking in, having the i.d. out they can find the name faster on the voter registration list and people get in and they vote. >>anna: we've got to show both sides. eric holder has to say we are determined to use authorities including remaining sections of the voting rights act and where essential requiring preclearance. this is the latest action to protect voting rights but it will not be our last. isn't it interesting that when these texas attorneys, once they go to washington, d.c. and try to talk to the department of justice they're going to have to show an i.d. to get into

the darned building? >> that's right. i worked in the building where the voting lawyers are for the justice department. you have to have a government issued photo i.d. to get into that building? >>anna: the total number of poor whites in the state of texas is actually larger than the total number of poor hispanics and blacks, very different than what we're hearing from the department of justice. thank you so much for your time. got to leave it there. thank you. 27 minutes after the hour. remember this? the g.s.a. worker living the high life on your dime? you're going to love our next story because it appears the government hasn't learned its lesson. brian teeing off to support our troops. >> today if you're thinking about golfing, don't think about it. do it. a portion of the money goes

of folds of honor foundation, major dan roony who had three tours of duty in iraq. we love having you every year and honored you asked us down. first off, what prompted you to form this organization? >> as an f-15 pilot you understand freedom isn't free, having done three tours of duty in iraq, you witness things that you carry with you forever in your heart and soul. also i returned from my second tour of duty and i was on an united airlines flight with the remains of a corporal, his identical twin was bringing him home. that night i saw his four-year-old son and as that cargo inched down, i knew i had to do something. that was the inspiration, a moment when chance and purpose came together. here we are today. >>brian: here we are today. how much did you raise last year for folds of honor on

patriot golf day? >> thanks to the p.g.a. golf professionals across the country and great americans we raised $4.3 million by asking golfers to play golf and make a small donation when they do that. >>brian: i think golfers are a very patriotic bunch. it's a great way to get out there too. the families that are benefitting, they come down. if dad is no longer there, in some cases mom is no longer there. they've got to go to college. there is no scholarship waiting for them over the rainbow. what have you done? >> we raised overñi $25 million as an organization. we're going to meet some of the recipients in the next segment so you'll see the impact this is having. it's incredible. almost one million depend he depend he wants have had someone killed in iraq or afghanistan and approximately 80% get no benefits. >>brian: you have a

means the end -- next thing you know it will be snowing. i'll have to earn extra revenue by shoveling. i'm at the dallas national golf club. the reason i'm here fort second time in the last three years, it's patriots golf day. part of your green fees and donations for golf is everybody else raises millions for those who served in folds of honor. here is really good news, we're going to be meeting a family who benefits from folds of honor. president bush will be here shortly. the president of the united states, 43, his first interview since his heart procedure after they found out he had a blockage. he'll be here talking to us live on television. we're also going to be seeing lee trevino, he'll be out here. it will be a great d the golf national at the dallas national golf club. but also it's a very intriguing time to be on television because once again, are we in a war footing or not in a war footing?

it depends on what country you ask and what allies are for? i was shocked to see the vote in parliament. it did not go exactly like the president thought, nor that i thought david cameron thought. >> tucker: no. he tries to rally his country behind the imminent american attacks on syria, but he was turned down by his own members of parliament in a stunning and embarrassing review both for him and the president of the united states. who his aides say is ready to go it alone. president obama, who campaigned against unilateral attacks based on spotty evidence of weapons of mass destruction use, is now apparently about to launch unilateral attack based on spotty evidence of the use of chemical weapons. >> anna: brian, this came down pretty narrowly yesterday, 285-272 was the parliament vote. james cameron saying, the british people have spoken. i'm not going to try to do this. is the president going to be doing the same thing? doesn't he need congressional

approval? this is something that leaders on both sides of the aisle here in the united states are saying yes, absolutely, he does. >> brian: absolutely. here is rick santorum. he sees a huge problem, the same thing he said when he was trying to run for president, it's not bad leadership. it's not good leadership. it is no leadership. listen. >> the problem is the president mass provided no real path for leadership. you've had this discussed throughout this evening and unless we see some plan as to here is why we're acting to accomplish a certain purpose, if the purpose is only to defend his integrity, to say well, i said don't cross the line and you did, and therefore, we're going to do something, if there is no objective beyond that, it's hard to justify to the american public or to the world that it's worth harming -- killing potentially hundreds or thousands of people simply because the american government said that you can't do this and

you did. >> tucker: so some things never change no matter what the era, no matter the what the war. the french will, as is their habit, issue confusing statements. here is the latest from the french government. i'm quoting the spokesman. the international community must find a repost that is adapted to the situation, says france, whatever that means. what is striking, i think, is how closely what senator santorum just said tracks with what president obama himself said just a few years ago about how the executive ought to consult with congress before it attacks other countries. >> brian: it says iran and syria would start changing their behavior if they started seeing that they had some incentives to do so. but right now the only incentive that exist social security our president suggests 23 you do what we tell you, we may not blow you up. we also know if he said he was very critical of president bush for acting unilaterally, even though we had a coalition of the willing. and meanwhile, you have a president of the united

states -- this is what i think. if the president of the united states just took some time to explain his point of view, it's more than one speech, more than one interview, it's a series of interview, like, for example, he did when he was running for president. like we want to get obamacare done, when he wanted the stimulus package of the he knows how to do it. he's a wonderful communicator. what we do is he goes under the wire. he leaves his spokes people out there to define how he actually feels, leaks to the press exactly the battle plan of attack so syria can say let's get every military asset into neighborhoods so nothing gets blown um or destroyed -- up or destroyed and then comes out and realizes he got tripped from behind by the british. he never thought he would lose the british on this thing. let's be honest, we don't need the british. if we believe in the cause, we have five warships in the area, a fifth one just arrived. do what's in the best interest of the u.s. i can't get -- i asked president bush, he will never take aim at the former president. but it's as you said, it's unbelievably ironic that this

president finds himself in the position in the middle east with another nation exactly how he got elected president, by criticizing bush for doing it. >> tucker: exactly. not only has he lost great britain, our most reliable ahall, he's also losing members on his own caucus, democrats outraged by this. they're saying so out loud. you don't see that very often. >> anna: we're going to take a look at the way things unfolded this week. here is a list of what has kind of happened over this week. august 26, secretary kerry says he will hold the syrian government accountable for moral obscenities. on the 27th, the french president said france will punish those who took the heinous decision to gas the innocent. he said use of chemical weapons is wrong and the world shouldn't stand i'dley by. 28, president obama says the decision has not been made. on the 29th, yesterday, prime minister david cameron says it woulden unthinkable to take military action against syria without approval.

so is this something we're going to be seeing from our president as well or is -- >> brian: what i would like to say, good point, anna. do you think that if syria could be getting mixed messages, remember senator kerry said he thought the syrians and assad would be partners for peace? remember secretary of state hillary clinton thought he would be an agent of change? then you had the president of the united states when he was senator not calling out syria? so you got to wonder where they feel as though they lost the backing of u.s. leaders when we know they lost it. they lost it by gassing their own people. where they got the audacity to do that, i'm not sure. but contradicting themselves because they're on the record with what they thought of syria prior to this series of incidents. >> tucker: the u.n. stands by and does absolutely nothing. hamstrung by the russians. that's one lesson in this. the president got elected by saying the left will love me so much, they'll do my budding. that's not true.

israel is reacting. leaders announced they're deploying what they call the iron dome missile defense system. >> anna: joining us now live from jerusalem with the breaking details is conner powell. good morning, conner. >> good morning. israel is not standing by and doing nothing. they are preparing for the important that if the united states does strike in syria, that either syria or iran could strike back at israel. yesterday prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced that israel is deploying additional iron dome missile defense units to its border with syria. there are at least two iron dome batteries in northern israel right now, in addition to several other antimissile defense systems. israel also calling up a limited number of its reservists. they've been handing out gas masks across the country. israel kept a close eye on the civil war in syria, which killed roughly 100,000 people, twice already israel launched air strikes to prevent the assad regime from passing -- transferring weapons to hezbollah fighters in lebanon.

netanyahu also saying in a written statement that israel is not involved in the syrian conflict, but it must take all precautions to protect its people. guys, back to you. >> anna: conner, thank you so much. >> brian: i think it's important to understand that syria, if they can't reach our warship and some of their agents of terror, they might take it out on israel. iran, who says we better not do this, but can't really hurt us, might decide this is a perfect opportunity to get it up to one unifying force of the middle east and that is anti-israel behavior. maybe they hit israel. you talk about people on pins and needles, it's the israeli people who are on the doorstep and in the middle of this so-called arab spring. anna, i know you got the headlines. >> anna: thank you so much. ten minutes after the hour. developing story overnight, terrifying moments during the fourth quarter of the denver broncos game. crowds watched as a fan fell from the escalator.

soldiers and increase adverse events. >> tucker: it wasn't the only warning the government ignored. >> anna: do you think these two little kittens can't cause any trouble? think again. they just took down the nation's largest public transportation system. we'll explain too big. too small. too soft. too tasty.

>> the british parliament reflecting the views of the british people, does not want to see british military action. i get that and the government will act accordingly. >> tucker: that was david company ron yesterday following the political process in britain. some lawmakers want president obama to do the same thing here in the united states and consult

congress. ted poe pen ago letter to the president that said, quote, i urge you to send a plan to congress that clearly delynn i i can't tells the extent, goals and end game of our involvement and call congress back from recess so we can debate and vote on it. congressman ted poe joins us now from washington. congressman, thank you for joining us this morning. it looks like we're going to launch some sort of attack against syria imminently. what is the purpose of that attack? do you know? >> sure. what the purpose of it is. the president laid down his red line. now i think he has to save face, so to speak, and shoot missiles into syria. he hasn't evaluated the consequences of doing that, the reaction of syria. but most importantly, he ought to follow the lead of great britain and have congress, the people, make this decision whether to go to war or not. the constitution requires it. members of congress can come back even today. it's early enough, we could all come back up here today and make that decision whether america yet needs another war.

>> tucker: so is there precedent for that? i have to say, i've noticed in the past couple of decades, an awful lot of military actions have taken place without congressional approval. is this just another one of them in a long line? >> yes, but this one is even, to me, a more alarming one. this is no national security threat against the united states. this is, of course, a civil war, but assad has done is an awful thing. let's back up. is it a national security interest? are we threatened personally? the answer is no. so congress should make the decision whether we should go to war. the president shouldn't make that decision. >> tucker: let's say the assad regime is overthrown. the white house says that's not the intent of this attack. but clearly this is an attack against the assad regime. let's say assad leaves or is killed. who takes control of syria? >> then chef chaos. we have numerous rebel groups involved in trying to overthrow the regime.

one, of course, is an al-qaeda affiliate fighting for the rebels. so there will be chaos if he's overthrown. there is chaos now. but the president doesn't say that our objective is to get rid of assad. we just want to lob a few missiles in there to teach him a lesson, i guess. we don't know the purpose of the president's action, military action against assad. >> tucker: you hate to think the president of the united states, commander in chief, has no idea what he's doing. but is that the conclusion you're reaching? >> well, he wants to fire missiles. what is the purpose? what is the goal? what is the national security interest of the united states and what is the long-term consequences in the region and against the united states? he hasn't answered any of those questions. >> tucker: those are the key questions. congressman, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thanks. >> tucker: coming up, a child's heartbreaking call for help. >> do you know if she has a

disorder? >> what does that mean? i'm only six years old. i don't know what everything means. >> tucker: there is a happy ending, thank heavens. and we sent kevin mccarthy to interview the band, one direction. you can't even imagine what happened. we'll show you ♪ ho ho ho [ female announcer ] at 100 calories, not all food choices add up. some are giant. some not so giant. ♪ bigger is always better. ♪ ho ho ho ♪ green giant ♪ ho ho ho

i've ever seen. the direction of this movie is so bad that my eyes started to hurt and my brain was spinning. i felt dizzy. you can not see the action. i don't know who directed this film in the sense of like -- what were they thinking? it's one of the worse films i've seen. i found myself just so dizzy and my eyes -- i thought selena gomez was miscast in the row. ethan hawke, who i absolutely love as an actor, he's terrible in the film as well. there is one or two decent action scenes, which is why i didn't give the movie a zero. but i gave it a one out of five.

martyrdom and the number of virgins in paradise. >> it's there. there is virgins. it's heaven, you know. it's heaven. that's all i can say. it's there, though. >> in the video he presents a power point presentation where he lays out recommendations to reduce insider attacks. >> i think the department of defense should allow muslim soldiers the option of being released on conscious objectors, to increase the morale of non-muslim soldiers in the military, as well as decrease adverse event. >> he's sentenced to death and warned. >> talking about god in country. here we're really talk about god versus country. >> according to this senate report, a ticking time bomb, his presentation went through several drafts, with one supervisor describing the army psychiatrist as, quote, very lazy and a religious fanatic. >> there is a lot of soldiers that are leaving the military. they're actually joining or trying to join groups like the taliban and al-qaeda and so you have to ask yourself, there is

something out there with those groups that's resonating. >> as part of the its ongoing investigation, a leading researcher at stanford told fox news hasan's time at walter reed was a turning point. >> the only thing he didn't do was wear a t-shirt saying i'm going to attack fort hood tomorrow. >> anna: right. still workplace violence, is what it's considered and not terrorism. >> tucker: unbelievable. >> brian: just real quick, i want to weigh in, it's unbelievable that out of every one of the lieutenants, captains, corporals, no one stood up and said, who have been taped to fight al-qaeda, i'm not comfortable with this guy. i'm not comfortable, i don't care what uniform he's wearing, he's clearly not on our side, especially that's a formalized presentation that had its copy edited to be less, i guess, dramatic. that's unbelievable we got it tape and he actual will he had that mindset, was able to serve our country. >> anna: how could it have slipped through the cracks? i guess they're trying to be so politically correct and it

president obama, had tried to lay out legal and humanitarian case for possible military action. cameron says he expects president obama will, quote, understand that now the brits cannot join in any attack. >> i haven't spoken to him since the debate on the vote, but i would expect to speak to him over the next day or so. i don't think it's a question of having to apologize. >> after the u.k. parliament vote, a spokesperson for the president's national security council put out a statement saying, quote, the u.s. will continue to consult with the u.k. government, one of our closest allies and friends. as we've said, president obama's decision making will be guided by what is in the best interest of the united states. the german government also says it has no plans to join the u.s. in any kind of military strike, but don't count out the french. according to french president, who says he supports taking, quote, firm punitive action over the alleged chemical weapons

attack by the syrian government. he was asked by a newspaper if france might still take part in the military action even though the brits are now out. he responded, quote, yes, each country is sovereign to participate or not in an operation. that is valid for britain as it is for france. back here at home, president obama will continue to make his case to the american people for intervention in syria when his administration releases today, we're told, that declassified intelligence about what happened in syria last week, why the obama administration believes it was a chemical attack, why they believe that syrian president assad was behind it, and why they believe the u.s. cannot let it go unanswered. back to you all in new york. >> anna: molly, thank you so much. this definitely is the big story today. british aren't coming, the british aren't coming. president obama looking more like the lone ranger than paul revere. you see david cameron, the prime

minister of britain. parliament came down against his proposal. it was a narrow vote, 285-272. we're starting to hear from both sides. charles krauthammer saying does this have anything to do with the ego of the president and don't cross the red line and if you do, we're going to take action? is this him doing something like that, trying to keep his credibility intact? then you hear the other side, general keane saying, we should have done something a long time ago. >> it has no purpose whatsoever, unless it is to assuage the guilty conscience of a president, or to vindicate the vanity of a president who has become a laughing stock around the world and whose word means nothing because last year he spoke about a red line and has allowed all the red lines to be crossed without lifting a finger. so maybe he feels compelled as a way to vindicate himself. but you don't take a country into war as a way to vindicate your own standing. you do it to achieve strategic objectives on behalf of your

country. if you're going to do a three-day strike with no intention of altering the balance of power in syria, altering the course of that civil war, then the whole exercise is pointless and dangerous. >> listen, we are dead wrong in not having completed this strike already. in my mind, we should have informed the congress, informed the u.n., informed the allies who are willing, tell them what the delivery date was, if they can redefine and strike. and here we are going through all this. this is not going to war. this is a limited military action similar to what reagan did against gadhafi, what clinton did against the al-qaeda in afghanistan and what we did in bosnia. we are not committing to nation to war. >> tucker: for con certificates of irony, there is really not many stories that beat this one. here you have a president who was elected on the promise that he would never attack another

country unilaterally, who ran against the legacy of a president who invaded iraq because of concerns about wmd. and now obama is finding himself in a situation that's so similar, it's almost unbelievable where we have these reports of the use of weapons of mass destruction. they're not entirely confirmed. the white house concedes it doesn't really know whether assad himself ordered these attacks. now we're going into this with no allies. >> yeah. >> brian: all these leaks were coming out of the white house saying the attack will happen on thursday. it will be three days. no, two days. no, it's going to be one day. tomahawk missile, maybe stealth bombers. guess what? assad has adjusted. choppers have moved left and right. now, all of a sudden, it will be hard to hit those. we'll have empty warehouses and factories. pure symbolism. then you have the inspectors and will have a report which doesn't move anything quickly and will never be in support of it because the two nations called china and russia are allies in

that area, as well as iran threatening us not to do anything. here is the irony. president obama said this, remember -- look what he said to the "new york times," i think it was 2007-2008. 2007 rather. iran and syria would start changing their behavior if they started seeing that they had some incentive to do so. right now the only incentive that exists is our president suggesting that if you don't do what we tell you, we may not blow you up. they don't respond to that type of bluster. that was then senator obama. then what did they respond to? the fact that your former secretary of state said assad was a partner of peace. that nancy pelosi said when she was speaker of the house that the president bush does not speak for us, all americans, that senator kerry said he was a friend. maybe he's saying, what america do i believe? the one that president bush was running or the one who has now turned on me who was once friendly to me? it's amazing that president obama finds himself going along. let's be honest, militarily, we don't need anybody. we got five warships there.

we have the tomahawk missiles. we have the battle plans and incredible generals. we don't need anyone. but overall, if not this incident, syria has it coming. look at the role they played with the insurgency. allowing them to come back, shower, and train and go back into iraq into the sunni triangle and kill our guys. they've been a thorn in our side and an ally to iran. they deserve some type of retaliation from america. but the question is, did anyone prethink how to do it? could someone explain why we're doing it? could someone with a great persuasive skills that president obama use that same ability like he does with obamacare and attacking republicans to explain why syria matters? because he can persuade people. he got elected twice. let's see him use that talent now. >> tucker: i think he'd have to know the answer before telling us what it is. that's the question. >> brian: i hope he does. i hope he does. president bush is heckling me from behind the camera.

i apologize. >> anna: i can't wait for that interview. there he is. >> brian: he's wearing a great shirt, right? you look good. >> anna: president george bush on deck. >> brian: i just told him he looked good. he said he must have looked like hell before. he looks good now. guys, back to you. >> anna: 11 minutes after the hour. we have headlines. a developing story overnight. terrifying moments during the broncos game. crowds watched as a man fell from the escalator. he was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. good news, he was conscious. no word if alcohol was a factor. also breaking late last night, police in north carolina issuing an amber alert for a little girl you're about to see after she was snatched from a car in a grocery store park lot. the one-year-old girl was inside a car at 9:00 o'clock last night at the food lion in high point,

north carolina. moments ago, her grandmother made an emotional plea for her safe return. >> whoever took the vehicle, i'm not sure whether or not you are aware that the baby was in the car or not. once you figured it out, i just want her to be taken to a safe place. >> anna: the vehicle described as a 2003 white chevy suburban with north carolina license plates, bjx 1565. anyone with information should call 911 immediately. the biggest union leader in the united states souring on obamacare and richard trumka wants the president to fix it. >> affordable care act is a major step in the right direction. i said yeah, we made some mistakes along the way. it still needs to be tweaked. when the act was put together, it wasn't thought completely through. the other mistake we made is, took away government's power to use its buying power to drive down the price of prescription

drugs. >> anna: trumka is meeting with the administration in the coming weeks. his biggest concern, changing the definition of a full-time workweek from 40 hours to 30 hours. new video just in, a hijacking taking place over alaska and russia. but it was only an exercise. training pilots to find and track a hijacked plane. it was hijacked by fake terrorists after taking off from anchorage. canadian jets intercepted the plane over alaska and escorted it to the border, handing it off to russian fighter jets. those are your news headlines. >> tucker: the u.s. may be going at syria alone. our next guest know where is to start. he says take out president bashar al assad. he's here to defend those comments. >> anna: it's his first live interview since getting the stent put into his heart. president bush set to arrive at the golf course, hanging out with brian. we'll talk to him in about 20 minutes. don't go anywhere.

>> tucker: comments at that started a number of conversations. here is what bret stevens of the "wall street journal" said about president assad in a recent column. quote, the use of chemical weapons against one's own citizens plumbs the depths of barbarity matched in recent history only by saddam hussein. a civilized world cannot tolerate it. he says the united states ought to just take out president assad. is that the wise answer? the man who wrote it joins us now. "wall street journal" foreign affairs columnist bret steves. thank you for coming on. i don't think anyone would contest your claim that he deserves a vigorous response. the question is, what would come after assad were to be killed? >> there are a couple points here. first of all, this is a strike that the united states is

contemplating is explicitly in response to the use of chemical weapons. >> tucker: that's right. >> so simply to make the point that if you're a national leader and you use these chemical weapons, you will pay for it with your life or very nearly your life is a valuable lesson. second point is syria is a one family state. it has been that for 40 years. to do that is decapitate the regime every bit as much as taking out the gadhafi regime. so there is a strategic payoff. if it were a better world, we would be thinking much more seriously about what the future of syria is. but this is a strike conducted to punish the use of chemical weapons, which really is barghoutious -- barbarous. >> tucker: i don't think there is contesting any of the points you made. it's morally justified and it would end the regime. >> i'm getting this push back saying how dare you call for the assassination.

>> tucker: here is i think the smarter push back. once you kill the guy, then it's incumbent upon you to think what is next. what is the answer? >> look, what we should be doing is arming the aspects of the opposition and believe some fox viewers may not believe this, but they do exist. the free syrian army that we can live with to see them -- >> anna: oncrazy, non-- >> tucker: noncrazy, nonal-qaeda? >> they're out there and they control significant portions of syrian territory and they are well organized and have been fighting for two years to succeed the assad family. okay. if we just sort of allowed them to roll on, then we are inviting the worst possible roles. hezbollah becomes more powerful, al-qaeda becomes more powerful. >> tucker: that would be a disaster for the u.s. and israel thank you. a brother donates his kidney to his sister and the hospital tossed it into the garbage.

over the past two days. >> anna: you say 43% of people are paying no federal income tax. >> in 2013, that's right. 43%, or 70 million american households will not pay federal income tax and that number, according to the tax policy center, is expected to continue to decline over the next decade to about 34%. this is a consequence of tax cut, but also an improving economy. >> tucker: i guess we're not all in this together. aetna pulling out of another health insurance exchange. direct result of obamacare? >> you got that right. aetna is the world's third biggest health insurer. it's a $34 billion company. they're pulling out of new york after pulling out of georgia, ohio, maryland and connecticut. so five states. this is the reason why: it's not a good money making situation for them. they said state rules are going to limit their ability to make a profit. so now the new york market, when they do offer those state health

exchanges on october 1, aetna will not be on the list. >> anna: thank you so much. >> tucker: president obama might be going to syria alone, but should he be going against the constitution? senator rand paul joins us in a moment to weigh in. >> anna: and brian is live in dallas where president bush is set to join him in just minutes. brian? >> brian: thank you very much. this is president bush over here. we are having a great conversation and i guess we should start right now. all right. first, before we do that, let's go to justin moore. here he is.

>> anna: happy friday. great to be with you. brian joins us now live from dallas, texas, with a big interview with president bush and also more unfolds of honor. good morning. >> brian: yep. thank you very much. good morning to you. this is the patriot golf day where golfers come out to support military spouses and the children of wounded or fallen warriors. it's an unbelievable program. we've been chronicling it all morning and for the last few years. one of the biggest supporters on a here with me, the 43rd president of the united states. president bush. great to see you. major dan rooney who put this all together. first off, mr. president, how did he win you over that this program was worth your time, worth your effort and focus? >> it wasn't hard because i have a kinship with our vets. i respect our veterans and love our veterans and when he told me the size and extent of the program, it was provide scholarships for over 5500 kids, i said i'm in.

>> brian: right. even though he's a better golfer than you. >> that's not hard. >> brian: you're good. >> he may be better than you. i'm not sure. >> brian: let's not go too far. >> of that one of the most difficult decisions of my life. the first round we played together, should i beat the president? there is no rank on the golf course. >> i thought it was should i be getting if four foot putts. >> brian: three tours of duty in iraq and giving back to those who serve and you have 34,000 coming home this year who are going to need help and you give scholarships. first off, how are you, mr. president? we know august 6, you had a heart operation. >> i had a stent placed into my artery and i'm feeling pretty good. i wish i was a teen-ager so i could be out on my mountain bike today. but i'm slowly recovering. >> brian: it surprised you a little bit. you thought you would be out there on your mountain bike already. >> i thought i'd be healthy forever. aging got me.

>> brian: as i mentioned before, it's not -- you do look fantastic, but you said you didn't have any symptoms. no chest pains. you went for a routine exam and they said hey, mr. president, we got a blockage. >> yeah. that's an accurate recount of what happened. >> brian: but it was something that most people don't do. >> they should do it. i mean, i'm a fortunate man and i got great doctors at cooper clinic and a great heart surgeon. feeling pretty good. but not good enough to play 18 holes with you. >> brian: i almost hit you three times. >> that, too. >> brian: security was gonna jump me. major dan, right now do you feel as though there is emphasis on people coming home? i saw stats, there is a back log of 700,000 different cases at the v.a. for men who serve. >> i'll tell you, freedom isn't free. there is a great price and there

is 1% of our country that suits up every day to protect the other 99% of us. this is a weekend that we celebrate and honor the sacrifices that have been made and are currently being made to have president bush with us is a huge honor and one of the greatest honors of my entire life was the first time i met this man and got to salute him when he walked down the steps at air force one. he's always my commander in chief and today it's about helping and honoring those who have made that sacrifice. >> brian: how many scholar ships you giving out? >> almost 5500 total scholarships for spouses and kids in all 50 states across this great nation. >> brian: people talk about war and seeing it up close. we see it on video, there are certain things we don't see. we don't see the caskets. you do see this and that's what prompted this whole thing. mr. president, how do you feel about the day when a guy like lincoln, who everyone cites as one of the top president, he went into the battlefield. he saw both sides. do you see that being important

and happening again? >> i think it's important for the commander in chief to let the troops know that he supports them wholeheartedly with training, equipment and supports their families. that's the example of lincoln. lincoln would go to the battle fields and he would see the privates and the sergeants, as well as obviously talk to the generals. it's that kind of commitment that is necessary for a commander in chief. >> brian: you don't know this, but there are thousands of people that we have a chance at fox and some of the things that we do to come across, and they're in the military. some of them missing limbs, families affected. i really have a hard time finding anyone who doesn't feel honor to have served you. >> they don't serve me. they serve the country. >> brian: under you. >> that's what makes america great. we've got people who are willing to volunteer in the face of danger. i'm talking about millions of people who said i want to serve. our country honors those.

sure, there is back logs at the v.a., but the interesting thing about our country is there is private sector guys like dan who have started groups that are aimed to help our vets. there is a strong outpouring of support for this. >> brian: a portion of the green fees goes. if your wife is giving you a hard time about golfing, doing it for the troops, honey. and you are. mr. president, you follow the news, 'cause i talked to some of the people that used to work with you or work in the halls of fox. you see what's happening with syria. i know you don't like to comment about what's in the news, but you can comment about the syria you dealt with for eight years. >> i can comment about this, the president's got a tough choice to make and if he decides to use our military, he'll have the greatest military ever backing him up. >> brian: right. what has syria been like for the u.s. in the eight years you served? would you say -- the feeling that they had in supporting the insurgency, there was no doubt about that. am i correct in. >> i was not a fan of mr. assad.

he's an alie of iran -- ally of iran and he's made mischief. >> brian: made mischief. for a long time he felt impervious to america. >> yeah. and the president's going to have to make a tough decision. >> brian: what about the rest of the world saying, well, we're not too sure. we're going to wait fort u.n.? you've been through that before. >> the president has to make a tough call, brian. i know you're trying to subtly roll me into the issues of the day. i refuse to be roped in. >> brian: i understand. but you need perspective at the leadership level, which very few people get. >> mutt putting our military in harm's way is the toughest decision the president will make. >> brian: right now, major, we talked last night about the possibility of some of our fighter pilots going back into war. it must be really tough because

iraq just came to a close. afghanistan started and maybe syria. you talk to your guys and what the mindset is? >> i think i echo president bush's statement is they're honored to serve of the when called upon, they volunteer and they're ready to go. >> brian: lastly, september 11 is coming up. it will be 12 years. where are you going to be? what are your thoughts? >> i'll be in dallas. my thoughts are that as time pass, people forget the lessons of september 11 and one of the key lessons is the human condition elsewhere matters to the security of the united states. >> brian: we're going to be looking at that, too. the other thing that's changed since last time i saw you, you're a grandfather. you were pushing for that all along. you're a grandfather now. >> it is a joyous experience. little mila and i bonded a couple weeks ago and i am smitten. >> brian: are you going to spoil that girl? >> yes. [ laughter ] >> brian: your twins, you said

it's going to be different. >> i will spoil mila and every other grandchild that comes along. >> brian: is that another reason why your health matters? >> yeah, of course. yes. everybody's health matters. >> brian: right. especially you want to be around for them. i think it's time. it's time -- >> i had a sleepless night wondering about your swing. >> brian: if you had trouble sleeping, you can imagine how i felt because i spent a lot of time not swinging, which is not going to help me here today. but i'm willing to give it a shot and see if i can impress you more than let's say i have over the last two of the last three years. >> that won't be hard. [ laughter ] >> brian: am i going to get someone like to you tee off, mr. president? >> brian, actually i've got a designated tee offer. >> brian: you do? >> yeah. i've asked my dear friend, lee trevino to come and hit in my stead. >> i got the shoes, baby. >> brian: nice to see you.

>> anamarie. >> brian: nice to see you. >> once you're in, you're always in. >> this guy right here, is a strong patriot and a great man. >> brian: lee, i hear you're a tremendous golfer. >> not anymore. >> brian: that is not true. >> here, you hit one. we don't know whether we're going to let you play or not because arnie's got a thing out, while we're young. hit it. he's on my team? holy moly. come on, let me see. >> nice and easy. >> nice and easy. >> brian: you sure we're not out of time? >> we will be.

just hit it out there? >> just anywhere in the world. yeah. >> while we're young. jwoo! what's your handicap? >> brian: i'm retiring, mr. president. [ laughter ] thank you very much. you going to be able to keep up with me? >> i will keep up with you. >> brian: let's watch a real pro hit it. >> let me hit one. you want to hit one? >> no, you hit it. you ever felt pressure like this before? >> this is -- >> brian: how many major, lee? >> wow! he's about to hit it off. >> if you get a chance, go by sports authority and get you a real one. you got a good rod. >> brian: here is lesley.

president bush, major dan, back to you guys in the studio. >> anna: brian got a good whack in there. >> tucker: you're good! i'm impressed. he didn't crumble. >> anna: great to see president bush back on the golf course. hopefully he'll be riding that mountain bike. >> tucker: the british are not coming. they voted no to attacking syria along with the united states. france is unsure, needless to say. will the president go it alone? senator rand paul joins us here live in just a moment to react. >> anna: first, here is justin moore performing "small town usa". ♪

>> tucker: the british aren't coming. prime minister david cameron going to his parliament and getting voted down. his members of parliament saying they do not want great britain

to be involved in the conflict with syria. lawmakers want president obama to do the same thing, to go to congress and ask their permission as the constitution requires. here with more is kentucky senator rand paul who joins us live this morning. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> tucker: can you sum up what the point of this apparently imminent attack on syria is? what's our objective here? >> well, that's the real question. i think we have no strategic objective. i don't think it will change the course of the war. in fact, one of the thing that troubles me is that we've already announced in advance, it's not going to be too much of an attack. it won't last too long. and we're not for regime change. i've had conversations with the administration, both publicly and privately, and this sounds like what their objective is. their objective is stalemate. i've told them frankly, i'm not sending my son, your son, or anyone else's son to fight if your goal or your objective is stalemate. that's not what americans are about. >> tucker: so the idea is that the president gave his word that

there was this red line, he described the use of weapons of mass destruction, syria apparently has crossed that line and we need to act. is that the rationale? >> it sounds to me like saving face because he's made a promise, so he's going to follow through with his promise. that's why you ought to be very careful about drawing lines in the sand or red lines, because now he feels that he looks weak to both his colleagues and the united states, as well as his international colleagues. i don't think that's enough reason to go to war. the constitution is very explicit on this. when you go to war, congress must authorize this. both the president and the vice president once upon a time, before they became in power, understood this. as a senator, barak obama said that no president should unilaterally go to war without the authority of congress. i still believe that. it's one of the things that i liked about the president when he ran. of course, i didn't vote for the president, but there were a few things i liked and that was one of them. and he seems to have forgotten that now. i think that's disappointing. >> tucker: it seems like this

former constitutional law professor will just ignore that constitutional requirement and move without approval from congress. is congress going to put up with that? what exactly can the congress do if the president does that? >> he shouldn't. and we could come back into session on our own. we could send a rebuke and restraining order to him. the british parliament has and they seemed to be obeying their separation of powers. the vice president, joe biden, was very specific on this, too. both president and the vice president were outspoken and talked about the separation of powers and why this sort of allows emotions to cool and often keeps us from going into war. 80% of the american people want congress to vote on this. >> tucker: yeah. a rebuke and a restraining order. we'll be waiting for those. senator, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> tucker: next up, justin moore performing "point at you." first we check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> see new a couple minutes. good morning to you.
