>> thanks, everybody. america lives starts right now. >> thank you, guys, starting with a fox news alert on the crisis in syria developments are changing by the moment on this as president obama prepares to address the nation eight hours from now. welcome everybody. i am martha in for megyn kelliy. >> it a pores that president obama would ask congress and the american people for support to launch a military strike against syria it so manies that the president is shifting his strategy on this. he has spoken with the leader was france and britain and looking into a russia proposal and russian plan to place syria chemical weapons under international control. that plan is expected to be discussed in the un. that could come up at 3 o'clock this afternoon. the president is on capitol hill

for a pair of closed doors meeting and sit down with the senate democrats and republicans. reporting live from capitol hill, mike emmanuel has the latest and coping you folks very busy there, mike. >> no question about that. president obama is here on capitol hill to make the personal appeal to law makers on syria house speaker john boehner said the president has his work cut out for him. >> members tend to reflect the constitiens. the american people are not supportive and he did not make the sale to the american people. that's why tonight is so important. >> while boehner and other top politicians supported the commander in chief in syria. but mitch mcconnell said the u.s. lacks a credible strategy. >> i will vote against the

resolution and voilths national risk is not at play. and there is too many questions on syria and including the fact that it is utterly detached from the sievele war there. >> russian president offers a transferring control of syria weapons. the house democratic leader said give the president some credit. >> i think what the initiative from the russians has done has given the president a victory. because it has taken and recognized that for two and half years, the president has used and attempted diplomacy to try to have a political solution to what is happenin syria. >> the truth is, the alternative proposal is a huge sigh of relief for democratic members who don't want to risk alienating the liberal base or constituents and voting on

military action in syria. every law make ares republicans and demdepsaid the response from the constituents is overwhelmingly against military action in syria a lot of folks on capitol hill hold out hope that the russian offer is for role, martha. >> mike, thank you very much. >> president obama only addressed the nation like this five times in his president so. the last was in a speech in july 2011 on the federal budget and spoke about the draw down of u.s. military. and he spoke about the death of osama bin laden. and august 2010 to address the end of combat operations in iraq. he delivered an address about the oil spill in the gulf of mexico in june of 2010. fox news will bring you complete

coverage of the nation tonight at 9 o'clock east other than time. and bret baier will come on as that gets rolling. as the president prepares to go on national tv tonight, what does he ask for now that we have a solution? chris host of the fox power play. it was clear 48 hours ago, that the president was going to go before the nation and say these are my reasons why you must back a military strike in syria. so what does he say now? >> well, nancy pelosi gave him an offering there in what we just heard. declare victory and say the whole plan was for vladimar putin to come and and a save the day and the syrians are breaking and running on. this but pelosi's problem and

the president tries to declare victory in this, is that no one believed anywhere on the earth that the united states congress was going to authorize the strikes. the president made it clear in saying six different ways that he did not see an immediate threat to the united states security and so that excludes his ability for urgent action. and so the idea the threat of a strike was credible is not credible itself. >> here is the problem, it is obvious. but if he doesn't continue the threat of military strike, where is the impettous for syrian to turn it over. >> it is a russia deal. they have a naval installation and their warm water port and their foot print in the region and russia is offering a protective embrace for the assad regime and the russians

would further incullicate and makes sure it stays in place. they want to do that. >> that still leaves us without reaching any of our goals and the american people are going to take this appearance of now their chemical weapons are wrapped up in a bow and tied and delivered for somebody for safe keeping, a lot of people believe that is not likely as you are ceding and so what can the president say tonight, it is a solution to the problem and hold on for 45 days? >> it is a wompered jaw case. it will be i don't want to do it and we coined of need to and maybe we ought to. and like getting a point for

a home loan. >> what is point in doing that? look at the other times he addressed the nation that we outlined serious moments in history whether the people did or didn't approve of them they had a mission. it is tough to go before the american people. he could say we'll put it on the back burner and then i will come forward and talk to you about it. >> you know what they had in common? good news for him. all of those. the bp was not great and not the super star, but all of the rest of them are good news. the troops are coming home. and i reached a deal with boehner and good and something that you want to hear and someone killed the most hated man in the world. osama bin laden, this is different. no body. and very few americans are interested in bombing syria in either party. the president will go out and make a partial case why in the

future congress might ought to want to do this and escape the scene and glad that putin took the onous on him. >> the rough moment after that if that is what we are going to hear comes the next time civilians are cracked down on in syria and it is back out there for everybody to figure out if it was a victory as nancy pelosi thinks it is or not. we'll see. chris, thank you. >> you bet. >> and in the meantime an ohio man, whose confession to a fatal drunk driving crash went viral is making a court appearance. this is an extraordinary story. he is 22 years old and admitted to drinking heavily in his car and killing a 61 year old man. his video was posted on youtube. watch. >> my name is matthew cordle and

on june 2nd. i hit and killed vincent. this video will act as my confession. when i get charged, i will plead guilty and take full responsibility for everything i did to vincent and his family. i am going to take a different route and maybe i will get a reduced sentence and maybe i would get off but i will not dishonored his memory by lying about what happened. i make this video and i know what it means and handing the proscoug whatever they need to put me away for a long time. i am willing to take that sentence for just one reason, and that reason is so i can pass this message on to you. >> he's not been charged yet when he made the video. he was on the police's radar for

the hit and run that left a 61-year-old man dead. it sparked a lot of controversy about what people think about what he did. hi, mike. >> martha, sadly this would be just another drunk driving fatality but for the individual instead of turning himself on the police. produced that video tape confession. he is matt dollars hew cordle and makes excuses for why he was drinking and he went from bar to bar and he ended up driving in the wrong lane of traffic and hitting and killing a 61-year-old. there is debate about the motives. because i said i would.comand producer of the video said it is only to discourage others from drinking and driving. >> people watch the video and say, oh, he's honorable and say

he's courageous or brave are missing the point. that was not matt's intend. it is to convince people not to drink and drive. >> now the fallout. cordle was indicted for aggravated vehicle homicide and he turned himself in and he will be arraigned soon and maximum sentence was eight and half years. it is not working to buy leniency. the prosecutor said he is pushing for the maximum sentence. martha. >> we'll see what happens. >> very interesting story, thank you, mike. >> and so with the launch of president obama's health care exchanges on october 1st, there are new reports that many people who are going to be used to help enrollees are not hired yet. and ohio governor john ca sack taking the bold advances on the issue of food stamp.

what healthy adults will have to do if they want to collect benefits. >> and new concern that changing the narrative on syria has fallout for u.s. troops in the field. we are going to debate that, we'll be right back. >> we have exhausted the alternatives. >> i think we should explore and exhaust all avenues of diplomatic resolution of this. with the spark cash card

from capital one... boris earns unlimited rewards for his small business.

far the fire is not showing much active behavior. we'll update you on that. in the meantime back to the top story, there are new concerns that the changing narrative that we are seeing on syria is making things more complicated. rueteres reporting that the russian president weighed in on the plan to have the international community take charge and he said that plan will only work if the u.s. rejects the use of force. in the last wrinkle, the u.s. had war ships in the mediterranean and crews had to adjust as the order of battle changed in washington. and some of the administration figures seek speaking. >> given our collective world weariness why we cannot use

nonmilitary tools to achieve the same end. my answer to the question is we have exhausted the alternatives. if the regime immediately surrendered the stock piles to international control as was suggested by secretary kerry, and the russians, that would be an important step. >> but it can't be done obviously. >> i think we should explore and exhaust all avenues of diplomatic resolution of this. >> and joined by lieutenant colonel michael kay. and a international analyst and peete hexet. ceo of concerned veteran was america. >> gentlemen, welcome. there is a concept that the cup passed us by for the moment and things are going to cool off for a moment and you heard me report the latest information, the

russian president said we'll work on these things with the syrian friends here but you need to back down and take the threat of force. >> we have stepped back from the pres pice and seemed to be pragmatism is unveiling and we should take as good news. russian gave the administration a lifeline in allowing them to pursue the diplomacy channel. but the administration is lacking on coherent foreign policy and iran and syria and egypt, there is no coherent foreign policy there. we'll enter a complicated next phase. if the u.s. starts diplomatic negotiations through russia on talking with assad, there is an a questionence that assad will remain in power. i don't know what the administration wants.

do they want to get rid of assad or keep a assumpted will it be signing up to the chemical ware fare convention, you have rebel groups that are fuelled by the west over the last year who are not going to put their weapons down and say we are happy, too. >> it is hard to look at theuation on the ground with egypt as a back grouvenltd we had mu barak must going by the president. and people screamed that in the streets of cairo. you had the pers kougz of christians and rise of muslim brotherhood. i don't know that the administration has an answer to the question of syria do they or not want assad to go? how dow so the threats on the ground in syria >> we have mixed messages on that. when the tide looked like was

turning against assad the president said he had to go. we did nothing but dabbled with the rebels. but never had the balance to tip against the assad regime. if we acqesans. but they never wanted force. they stepped in with a quick diplomatic win and asking for us to take the threat of attack off of the table. i think the president deserves some credibility. whether or not people believe he would strike there is a sense that putin and assad thought he would. they have never acknowledged having the chemical weapons and so the balance in syria will not tip in light of this and likely more to be a continued stalemate and we step back and incoherent

and confusing cross the board. >> you have the forces and al-qaeda linked forces and moderate opposition that is sort of hanging out in the middle and begging for help so they can tip the balance in syria and overthrow assad, they have no help. and then you have assad trying to hang on to power. how do you so the next move on the ground between the opposition forces and who wins that battle? >> it is a great question and they are opposed with the objectives. assad is objective counter fate to sharia. and then the syrian national council that is made up of the muslim brotherhood. it is complicated. and one thing i want to point out is the threat to u.s. homeland security by a military strike. we heard the secretary of state

saying it is in the national security to conduct the strike. you will radicalized the home grown threat. >> it is something that you don't want ultimately. >> we'll be right back. diagram [ male announcer ] this is claira. to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for her, she's agreed to give it up. that's today? [ male announcer ] we'll be with her all day to see how it goes.

>> so we are three weeks away from a key obama date when americans can enroll in the health insurance exchanges. but the people who were supposed to help enrollees are not ready yet. the so- called navigators that are trained are not there yet and many are not hired yet. melissa joins us from the fox

business network. >> thank you. nthere was a lot of skepticism and how the federal government is hiring all of the people. where are they? and how does someone sign up for one? >> there is a mad scramble to get them hired and trained and the vast majority of them is not hired. we are seeing the department of health and human services gave out approved grants for that on top of in july they put 150 million just to hoir these folks and you look at the companies that have applied for the grants and received them. these are shelters and they are food kitchens. and they are health clinics and they have signed up to train workers and help sign up people. yikes. we haven't hired people and need to get cracking on this and we haven't so far. >> it seemed like a mess. >> every day, there is new

information about different companies that are saying forget it like ibm and time warner. and now add sea world to the list that characterized themselves as part- time hours. and this is what the unions are up in weres. we fought for the 40 hour work week and now it is not going to exist anymore. >> we see the private sector and companies transforming much more quickly. this is comes whether we like it or not. we have share holders and have to deal with our employees. they will see health care costs go up and transition in one case, workers to private exchanges and it is a difference where we used to have defined benefit plan and to where we went to 401 ks. this is what ibm. you go to the private exchange

and choose. our contribution is fixed and what you get is what you get. >> here is your money that we would have spent and you take it out in the marketplace and decide what you like. in terms of the navigator system, what is it that these people are going to do once they are in place and trained? >> they are supposed to get out there and listen to the average person that comes in and real world situation and break it down and say you are eligible for medicare and this tax benefit and understand tax law and then go through the plan and show them what is available and sign them up. that sounds great but that sounds like something you need a training for. this is someone who can@troph of the hat your deductible is this and come back some later. this is what is happening.

they are talking about hiring people from a soup kitchen and paying them 15 an hour and they are going to understand the ins and outs of the tax code. >> nice try. >> what can go wrong with that? >> there is a market for a good entrepreneur to start a low cost h&r block style and walk in and we'll give you good advice. >> private sector solving a problem. >> yes. thank you, melissa and we'll watch for you tonight on the fox business network. it airs at 5 o'clock p.m. east other than time. don't miss it. >> and president making a major address on syria before the people of the united states and in a prime time address and congress set to vote tomorrow on a potential military strike and we know how that is looking, not to positive. and the situation on the ground there, meanwhile, what are they

make people earn their welfare benefits. able-bodied adults should have to work for them. at least 20 hours of week or training for a job or volunteering. hi, guys, good to have you here. >> hi, there. >> here is an interesting concept, lesly, let me start wu. what do you think? >> you know, whenny first read about this, i am not totally against them, chris, don't think. there was a guy called governor tommy thochson and pill clinton. one democrat and republican dwoized a welfare program. very different than this. we had a thriving economy and we had jobs to go to. two of the problems i have. we don't have enough jobs for

the people to go to in the training with the state of ohio and secondly who drps the kri teria. you can be disbelieved and not physically disabled and that disability can prevent you from benefitting from the program. >> chris, what do you think? >> i think, as leslie pointed out the. bill clinton and gingrich worked together. and it is too bad we live through obama's economy. and in john can you sack's state in ohio, he is lowering the unemployment rate difficult as that is. and this is obviously a good idea. i am glad to hear that leslie is with it and tinkering around the

fringes, promise. we live in a world where the democrat party put themselves in the unfortunate position where they are incent vised to keepas many people on the public deal as possible. a person at home and on the deal is a democratic voter. a person with a sense of pride and putting food on the table is a republican voter. look at the incentatives they have for creating wealth and jobs and government dependency you get to the rot here. >> i can imagine the back lash, leslie if someone in governor can you sack's shoes tries to implement this. and the comparison was made to the issue of college. if you are giving money to work in college and computer lab to

pay it off. no one thinks that is unfair or mean model, and so what is wrong with it? >> well, because this is not college and being someone who came from a poor family and had a pel grant and worked five jobs to get through. chris, this is not about votes, please. if it is, what is the governor thinking that if you are not on food stamps you will vote republican? many governors want to be less reliant on uncle sam and government. and they want to push the people off of the rolls. this is not the time. unemployment has decreased in ohio, but does not correlate. >> the way it is detailed it is not just jobs and it is a vol toor work. it is an issue for doing

something. and i commend you working five jobs and that's what we are talking about here. >> should i say i had seven jobs. that's right. were all puny l or less minimum wage. i haven't counted up the number of jobs i worked while in college. probably more than five and so take that. >> oh of course. you know, sitting around and people are exempted all over the place and if you are not physically able or disabled and if you have children. it is a reasonable and honest and decent approach to getting people back to work. and as martha said. you can volunteer and go through job training. it is about getting people back

to work and maybe something that president obama should think of and democrats should be thinking of. and leslie you know it is true. it is unfortunate situation that the democrats have created for themselves and they have incent vised creating a greater number of people and one of the areas of success for president obama and greater number of people are dependent on the public dole. thank you. >> coming up. we expect new details any time from the police on the 911 call from george zimmerman's estranged wife. it appears her claims of being threatened with a gun may have been made up. and a lot of questions on this. and we'll update you on that. and a head of this weekend's nas-car play-offs. teammates may have rigged

and to get the wild card spots. and one of the drivers, clint, is accused of spinning out on purpose to bring out a yellow to create a restart to give martin's teammate a chance to better the position. >> they got a $300,000 fine which they are not contesting and an audio recording that the racers who drove up in the pit. why would i drive off? and there is interesting evidence and i know you are being objective and not in the middle of it which i completely get. but how much does it affect the sport. and it is hard not to be fascinated. but i am glad nas-car brought down the penalties and there was

no admission to guilt. and nas-car felt that the integrity of the sport was at stake and they felt like it was a penalty that was necessary. i like. that >> send a message. >> you got to send a message and rowel with a heavies if. i am happy about the fact that they are governing. that is good. >> tell me about this weekend and how you are feeling out there? >> i am feeling confident. we had a up and down season. our car has been fast and i don't think that there is a clear favorite this year. all 12 teams have a potential to win a championship. and that gives me confidence that there is not just 2 or 3 guys to knock off and that means any one of us can win the championship. >> how dow feel about this. always the postdriver out there

and so many people rooting you to win. what would it mean to bring home the championship this year. >> i would be doing something for my fans. winning a championship. that's probably the top of the list for me as far as the goals i haven't achieved and that would complete my career. we are doing it a while and my fans are waiting on us and hopefully we'll do it this year. >> it is a pleasure to talk to you. and hope you do it for the fans and you, too. >> we wish you well. thanks for coming back. >> that is going to be fun in the course of the weekend. and in the meantime there is a lot of serious stuff in washington. and the president is going to make a major push on syria in the prime time address. congress is set to vote as early as tomorrow on a potential

new trouble for george zimmerman after his wife says that he threatened her and her dad with a gun. bill joins us live in miami with more. ph imt l, there is one side of the story and then perhaps the other here. this is a classic he said she said compounded by the fact that it is a cleary messy divorce proceeding. saying the investigation remains on going and the criminal charges could still be filed. even though neither party wants to see that happen. it all boils down to what they can see on the video clip. she was holding up that ipad yesterday during the in the house altercation with her soon to be ex-husband george

zimmerman. her 911 call conveyed fear of her husband during yesterday's dispute. they each hit or pushed the other inside the housement . in the end, everyone signed disputes of prosecution. shelly zimmerman stood by her man throughout the murder trial. two weeks ago when she pleaded guilty to perjury, she filed for divorce. yesterday a blond woman was seen with him on the scene talking with him by the trees and sitting with him in his car believed to be george's new girlfriend. their reaction at the end of that 911 call showed they were

shocked and floored that there was another woman out there with them. police are trying to expect from the ipad of shelly imer man the video clip that she claims that she was holding and taking of zimmerman. if they can pull that video and it shows a criminal act by george zimmerman, then he could face charges back into the courthouse. >> thank you phil. coming up an update to the first amendment fight between a major retailer and a former employee for wearing a head scarf to work. a lot of implications there. and folks saying that the crisis in syria is more than just a foreign policy problem.

fox news alert. brand new hour starts now of "america live". so right now, the senate intelligence committee is behind closed doors and the president arrived on the hill to meet separately with senate democrats and republicans to sell them on his evolving plan on syria. the white house ipsist insists will continue to pressure congress to authorize a strike.

tonight, on the eve of 9/11 the president is going to speak to the nation. is that something that the white house would ever agree to? new poll shows 60% of americans disapprove. new poll shows 54% of americans kis disapprove of the president's performance right now. meanwhile, 6,000 mile as way conventional warfare in syria,

more than 100,000 people have within killed. >> it is always in the details and there are a lot of details. we are two hours away from one of many security council meetings. this one is the russian proposal.

the russian president has said that the military option must be off the table as part of the deal. on the other side of the united states, you have france and the united kingdom who are leading this saying they want a deal if president assad does not give up his chemical weapons. it comes down to how much the syrians are willing to give up and how is this going to happen. the syrians have 1,000 tons of chemical weapons that is something which is very difficult to dispose of even under peace time there is a civil war raging right now inside of syria and so far there has not been serious discussion of having the un security council deal with that civil war

that is continuing to rage on. thousands are dying every month. 5,000 men, women and child died every month inside syria. that is 166 people per day that this continues going on. never mind any kind of deal that may happen about the chemical weapons. >> thank you very much. we are going to talk about this a he lot. and tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern. right here on fox news channel. you can watch president obama's live prime time address to you and everyone at home about this issue. he will try and convince the american people that we should bring forward a strike against syria.

in the meantime, can we trust a man who has slat terred and gassed his own people according to the administration to turn over those weapons to help ensure the survival of his own regime? >> i think we should explore and exhaust all avenues of this. i think it is important to keep the pressure on and paraphrase at least a former u.s. president. ronald reagan. it is not enough to trust, i think we are going to have to verify. >> let's bring in dr. jim walsh. good to have you with us this afternoon. >> good to be with you martha. >> i want to know what your take is on all of this.

this russian proposal and now the word that the only way that he will agree to get rid of these weapons is if the united states says that force is not off the table. >> you know if we were able to do this, it is a enormous challenge. if we were able to do it, it would have some advantages over a military strike. it was not going to go after the chemical agent for fear of sending off a plume of toxic gas. it was going to hit some of the chemical weapons units. the advantage of this it is a complex challenge. >> do you think that would happen, is russia hoping to

accomplish making the united states look effectless in all of this? >> i have had strong scepticism all along here. they would welcome the strike hope that go the strike would make the u.s. look bad and weaken the us. i'm sort of surprised that they jumped in at the last minute here. and might offer something that could be a deal that would get us ahead. the russians don't want -- they support their ally, but don't want to see the use of chemical weapons. i think everyone but assad would like to see syria get rid of the chemical weapons. >> you have the political level of all of this. and that he has come out looking

like the diplomate who is able to bring people together. in saying that the diplomatic avenues have been exhausted. what about the people? >> we look at these videos. if you are a civilian on the ground in syria, what is next for you? >> i think it is important to separate two big things. one is the civil war being fought with knifes and guns and that was going to continue whether we have a military strike which is going to be limit heed or continue if we get a deal that removes the chemical weapons. it is really focused on the use of chemical weapons very very narrowly. i'm sad to report that, that civil war is going to continue. you don't want to get stuck in

the middle of a civil war. my god, they are the worst thing that you can get involved in. this is going to continue regardless of whether there is a military strike or new deal with the russians and the americans work out. >> thank you very much. good to talk to you today. we will see where this goes and hear from the president tonight. >> one group that has been silent in this debate has been hollywood celebs. they were very incensed many many of them about that. what is different this time? >> we are live in los angeles, where is the outcry william? >> you have a democrat in office and president obama is popular here in hollywood. he had a $32,000 fundraiser

scheduled here. saddam hussein used chemical weapons against his own people. the same accusation is now being used to justify an attack in syria. innocent people will die. back then 100 hollywood elite said war is un-necessary. >> i need to know what did iraq do to us. >> don't invade iraq. >> i do not believe that this administration has made a logical case for a rush to war. war is never the answer to solving any problems. >> they were joined by don cheatle. among others but today, not a tweet, no "people" magazine, no access hollywood, not even sean penn who went to baghdad to stop

an air strike. why? >> some suggest call it a double standard. here is a former trustee. >> i mean they really really were adamant about not going to war in iraq. what about now? >> is this where okay or is it because they like him so much they are going to let him do whatever he wants to do? >> out of 100 clelebrities who have signed the petition, and some folks say that the crisis in syria is more than just a foreign policy problem for our current day. they team to see signs of the pock lips.

former employee claimed discrimination after she was fired for wearing her head scarf. the judge found: spokes man p replied: >> what is reasonable in this case. and judge joins me now. california has a statute that

has something where the employer had to show interference. you would think that they sell clothing with models that are 99% naked. she was not a model she was not in sales she was working in a storage facility. she wasn't somebody trying to sell garments that she was wearing. >> so what was their problem with her wearing it then? >> that is what the judge asked. if they didn't like what she was wearing because it did not fit in, that is not a sound basis for firing her under the statute. but they don't demonstrate to this judge that product sales

were hurt. but they have something called the look policy. we know what the folks look like. they consider that everything the associates at the store are basically considered to be living add ver advertisements. they want you to sell the lifestyle of the company. >> if the look policy is what the courts call a bonafied occupational qualification. something that cannot be done that has that look. >> then ambercrombie and fincess argument prevailed. the court must have found that whatever she did, didn't require the look policy.

how effective is our policy around the world today? >> president obama has actually going out there and claiming this as a victory saying that this is because the show of strength that we put on the world. was it a show of strength that the officials would tell us not to get mocked. was that a show of strength when obama walked back and said that it was the world's red line? >> tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the benghazi attack. no one has been held to the attack. if you want to know how much

respect the world has for us why did he use chemical weapons. >> let's talk about the country having the strength and the power and the will that it once had. that is why a multi national coalition has formed. and obviously mark has not been watching the news today.

talk to syria again. >> but now russia is saying that the only way that they will go forward with this is if we promise we won't use military force. >> okay well then the deal is done. >> he is about to strike. >> he was about to lose a vote in congress which would have negated it. if he wants to though some strength in the world he need to say you have to do this this and this in order to avoid military action and these demands are not negotiable and if you don't meet the demands -- >> i think that is what he will do. >> you do? >> but i think you are wrong. >> we are going to look tonight for the president to come out and say look, it is good that he is going to come up with the deal.

>> but these are our conditions. and you are going to abide by them or wrap up your chemical weapons in a box and send them to aplace that you will never see them again or we are going to hit you with a military strike and not going to give you the timeline the way that we have over the next couple of weeks. >> the strike should be limited and targets and it is not going to happen. >> what do you make about that? >> i mean. was that to garner support? and if so that is a rather strange way to do it. we don't need a massive strike to have this affect >> this is not a long-term en

a war of words between lawmakers turned ugly in jordan. after chasing a fellow lawmaker throughs halls of parliament allegedly firing at him with an automatic rifle. it is interesting how calm the folks in the other part of the room seem to be. the alleged shooter has been charged with attempted murder. there is that to think about. the crisis in syria may be more than just a current foreign policy problem. with some seeing signs of the events that are unfolding over seas. passages make reference to damascus falling into ruin.

joel rosen berg has written several books on the issue. i think it is interesting to look at this from that historic perspective. what you have here is a clash of civilizations in a larger sense and of christianity and of radical islam and a desire on the part of islamists on that part of the world. take us through. >> well, it is fascinating. we don't know that the current events are going to play out to be the fulfillment of bible prophecy. isaiah 17 both describe the destruction of damascus at some point in the future.

damascus has been attacked but it has never been removed to the city. first mentioned in the bible in genesis and now we are still talking about it today. >> it is interesting. as you say, damascus and the middle east have been under duress over the past several decades. why would this be at that moment. we have seen so many things happen in the bible over thousands of years? >> well, martha what is interesting about this one, we don't know for certain that we are in a time frame where these

have come true. so those are major end times prophecies. jews coming back to the holy land. jeremiah 49 says people will be fleeing from the holy land when this happens. five million syrians have been internally displaced and are fleeing from other towns and villages. but they are fleeing. the fear is, as we watch the implosion of the country, is it possible that a judgement is coming that would lead to the total fulfillment of the prophecies and the destruction of damascus. but it is possible. those have not yet been

fulfilled. i wrote a book about how it could happen, but we don't know for sure that it will happen. but it is a tragedy either way. >> you also see some parallels about what is said in the bible about egypt. >> isaiah speaks of a fierce king and a civil war. >> who is the fierce king? >> that is the question. the challenge prophecies. study the text and understand it in the historic context, and look at the current events but you have to be careful not to overreach or sensationalize the text. doing what people call newspapers -- trying to say the newspaper proves the bible. no, the bible stands on its own, and for many new jersey people didn't think israel would be reborne as a country, and jews

would come back to the holy land. but it's happened now and now that those series of professes happened it causes people, even skeptics to say, maybe the other things the bible say will happen in the future, will happen possibly even in our lifetime. >> it's interesting. has a lot of people thinking. "the new york times" best seller, and people are looking at the big historic and biblical picture and where all this fits in. interesting topic. thank you. so we are seeing a steady turnout in two recall votes that are testing popular support for new gun limits in a state with a strong tradition of gun rights. a live report on this battle getting a lot of attention, coast-to-toast. >> we're actually planning for an election which there are more votes cast than this election, the recall election, than the

the partisan push for tighter gun restrictions and the national backlash is playing out in colorado where two lawmakers who voted in favor of tougher gun laws are facing a recall vote. a battle that extends far beyond colorado. eli is reporting for our denver fox affiliate. live in colorado springs, colorado, with more on the vote today. hey, ely. how is it going? >> going all right. turnout is slow. we're standing out a polling location, and there are more people holding signs voting yes or no, than people inside casting ballots. the polls are open another six hours.

14,000 people have cast ballots down here in colorado springs but it's a small number of people, voters, who are deciding this election and the one down in pueblo. a small number of voters who are deciding these elections, although their votes are watched by folks all cross the -- across the country. the recalls in colorado, it's a symbolic litmus state whether politicians can take action on gun control. that is what colorado democrats did. some laws include a law expanding background checks and banning high-capacity magazines. now these two democratic lawmakers are on the ballots and after the grassroots activists got the signatures, this is an allout proxy war. michael bloomberg wrote a check for $250,000 to the two democrats to help them save their seats. probably has given more.

on the other side, the nra is involved, americans for prosperity, really democrats have outspent republicans in the recall by $3.5 million right now to about 500,000 on the other side. so, democrats putting their money into a ground game effort here, getting people to the polls. senator in pueblo may be safer then the senator here in colorado springs. >> it's gotten a lot of national attention. thank you very much. we have breaking developments on the crisis in syria. as the president prepares to address the nation tonight, what will he see to the american people about a military strike? he faces an uphill battle to get approval for that. will he stand by his mission? when we come back.

>> busy day here. i will see you back here tomorrow. "studio b" win shepard smith gets started right about now. >> shepard: the news begins anew on "studio b." a huge day in the debate on syria. our president addressing the nation tonight but the russians seem to be taking charge. this story has changed dozens of times, and here comes the president now. these are live pictures. the president just met with leaders on capitol hill with lawmaker from both sides of the political fence. let's listen in. >> shepard: members of congress on one side and then the other side, and he is pushing his case that action is necessary. listen. there's john mccain. who was for a less controlled strike, if you will, giving more option to the president than he appeared to be
