they found perhaps a device on board that qatari airways and this morning we've actually seen through social media pictures from inside the plane. we're going to be covering this story right now on "america's newsroom". bill: thank you, guys. breaking news. we are tracking it as best we can from new york. i'm bill hemmer. one royal air force typhoon jet escorting a flight back to plan chester or toward manchester airport northwest of london. the pilot radioed in there was a suspicious device on board. it seems to be a qatari airlines plane. there were reports it originated in doha. we can't confirm that. manchester is executing what has been practices and trained for

some time, a safety plan and security measure. the key objective, protect the passengers on board that plane. authorities don't know the threat was genuine but it was quote absolutely vital that we deal with it as a full emergency." sky news our sister network has had some terrific coverage. we'll listen to what we can from sky news. >> since 9/11 one has to be very careful to make sure everyone else on the ground is as safe as possible not just those in the aircraft itself. >> once it landed then what happens? >> once it landed obviously it's a security matter for which i would be not aware. once the aircraft -- >> my question to you is what does the pilot do once the plane

has landed and who takes control of the plane? >> well, pilots are always in control of the aircraft. the air traffic control instructions are followed exactly as they are requested to do. in that sentence you might say the air traffic controller is in charge. but the captain of the aircraft always does maintain control of the aircraft because he's in charge of the safety on board. >> reporter: how do you keep the passengers calm on board the aircraft when she they see the -- when they see the fight sister jets out the window? bill: we are listening to sky news. we want to report from reuters, manchester airport reopened after fighter jets escorted this qatari passenger plane to land.

we don't know what this device was or even if it exists. there is other breaking news, too. moments ago, western troops under attack in afghanistan, a man dressed in an afghan uniform opening fire at a nato military base east of kabul. the reports are that one dead, 15 injured but oftentimes these reports change and they change quickly. u.s. officials say a dozen of the victims there were american. gregg palkot is tracking that for us? >> reporter: that is the report that we are looking to confirm right now. the associated news press agency saying at least around a dozen american service members had been injured at this base in afghanistan. and that one has been killed. this base in afghanistan is a training facility for afghan

officers and it is believed according to the afghan defense ministry that it was someone, a terrorist they describe that could be taliban, dressed as an afghan officer who opened fire at around 12:30 today and opened fire and injured and killed according to reports american service members. we have been seeing other reports that indicate several of those individuals involved are of a high range, are officers. we even have one report that it was a general that was involved in the fatality. again, nothing confirmed but we are talking about high-ranging service members. according to one report possibly american, maybe other nationality as well. german soldiers were involved as well. and afghan military by the way, afghan defense ministry is

saying three of their soldiers were either wound or killed. again this is what is called an insider attack. in parlance of the military there blue on green attack. and those attacks have gone down dramatically. last year there were 16 deaths. in 2012 there were 33 deaths. a lot of attention being paid to taliban posing as officers as well as a general drawdown in the military there. again a potentially very serious incident in afghanistan. associated press quote awsmght s. official saying a dozen victims of this attack are americans injured and one killed. bill: afghan army uniform this person was wearing which shows you the relationship u.s. forces and nato forces have with the afghan military counter parts. >> yeah, it's called the west

point of afghanistan. it was set up last fall to train these officers. so it is our effort by the united states and the international forces there to try to stand the afghan troops up so they can pull back. but again a lot of tension and nervousness the past couple years. i have been out in the field and i heard from american soldiers. they are not easy working with a lot of their afghan counterparts. they are fearful of infiltration by the taliban and this appears to be a vivid example of that. bill: gregg, thanks. back to greg palkot in london, thank you, gregg. molly: the second american infected with ebola set to enter hospital. i'm molly line.

bill: i'm bill hemmer. writebol is her name. it's the same hospital where dr. kent brantly is being treated. both being flailsd a specialize laying unit down the street from the cdc. molly: a patient at a major hospital is being tested for the virus, but doctors say there is no need to worry. >> we have the patient in a special facility where effective treatment can be given. >> reporter: why didn't he go to atlanta like the other two? >> we believe the care that can be provided here would be sufficient for any patient with that disease. molly: onroberts is jsh john roberts is live in atlanta. >> reporter: they are expecting to receive the samples

from mount sinai hospital. then it will only be a couple of hours before we get the news back. doctors say they act out of an abundance of caution after a man tbhawkd complaining of a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. when he told them he traveled to west africa within the last month they immediately put him in isolation and had him test. hospital officials say he had none of the known risk factors associated with ebola. that has officials in atlanta scratching their heads as to why mount sinai would go to all of the links to go to a press conference about this and raise public concerns when they believe the odds are low. cdc officials told me there have been half a dozen similar incidents in the last few weeks and all of them have turned out to be negative in the end. molly: john roberts in atlanta,

thank you for keeping up to date on this situation, we appreciate it. bill: primary day. tea party upstarts looking to take down the incumbents. some arguing this is the last or the second to the last opportunity to do that. right now republicans try to pick up 6 seats. 53 democrats, two incumbents vote with democrats. you are 53-45 and you have to get 51 to get the majority. kansas may be the most interesting race to watch. senator pat roberts a mixture in congress for decade and pat wolf is a cousin to president barack obama. he says he's not a fan. he sums it up by saying you can't pick your family. >> pat roberts has been in

washington for 47 years. god expected moses to get things sorted out in 40. >> america will be america again. don't get down on what's happening in washington. kites fly the highest against a strong wind. bill: colorful language in this race. how does it shake up? how does it stack up? >> this race is tightening. roberts is still the fast it. wolf has gone after roberts as a washington insider. this year that's an attack that resonates. basically we had 7 republican senators scrambling for their lives and they have been able to winner. >> the other candidate drop out. so that's a big deal. the stabment in washington. they are getting the candidate they want. in this case i don't think it matters much. a democrat hasn't won since the

1930s. but overall the establishment is getting what they want and that means there is even more pressure to win the senate in november. bill: tennessee is thursday. so is it fair to characterize the race in kansas and the race in tennessee this week as the last two big opportunities for tea party upset? >> absolutely. the tea party has done well in the house because the tea party candidate beat the majority leader eric cantor. but in the senate it's been a different story. roberts is favorited to win. lamar alexander is favored to win. overall the incumbents have the edge and it is the last hope for this cycle for the tea party to take out a republican senator. bill: thank you, bob. we'll watch this and let you

know how it goes today. molly: the news is breaking on multiple fronts. we'll have the latest on the plane emergency in london and the attacks on soldiers in afghanistan. vladimir putin beefing up his forces on the poured and he could attack ukraine with no warning. we'll have the latest on that. bill o'reilly saying all the chaos in the world is the result of weakness. is the president's poll $i abroad hurting us at home. bill: president obama told us weeks ago he was studying the isis situation. that's the pattern. the president studies, and analyzes and does nothing. t is c that helps supplement good bacteria found in two parts of your digestive tract. i'm doubly impressed! phillips' digestive health. a daily probiotic.

bill: back to our breaking news in manchester england. reuters reports a man was escorted off that plane and the airport is back open. sky news, our sister network says the passengers are still on board. the plane is in the cargo area for police to investigate. they say its an isolated incident. john bolton with me now, former u.s. ambassador and fox news contributor. what can you add on what's napping england now?

>> i think they should take this very seriously. the possibility of terrorist strikes remain high. whether the plane originated in qatar it still poses risks. bill: one thing on this. some are suggesting it left manchester and was forced to come back to manchester, others reports are saying it came from doha, qatar. >> if it's coming from doha. potential terrorist.would want a detonation over u.k. soil. and it could be they saw suspicious behavior as they were leaving manchester. bill: to afghanistan. this is more breaking news. friendly fire. an afghan wearing a uniform at a

u.s. base east of the kabul. we have nato forces and a lot of american forces. 12 americans have been injured. it's a very difficult thing to figure out who is friend and who is foe in afghanistan today. >> i think unfortunately it's the shape of things to come as we continue to draw down. taliban tried to infiltrate the afghan national army with great success. they have seen our continued statements that we are getting out and combat operations are over. we'll have a complete u.s. withdrawal and this is taliban signaling we can penetrate ininto the inner sanctum of nato. bill: your hunch is taliban, right?

>> it amounts to the same thing. i think taliban or its supporters think they have got the upper hand. our influence is declining and they are determined to prove this so they rally people to their side. bill: two months ago two u.s. military advisors were wounded when an afghan policeman opened fire. two u.s. soldiers killed by two individuals wearing afghan force uniforms. this is a tough thing to get through. how do we do that when there is a suspected withdrawal. >> that was the mistake. for you to think you can create an afghan army when the conditions are not there. we need to be there much longer. we see the chaos in iraq. if the administration continues to push for withdrawal taliban

will take over very quickly after our departure tragically sacrificing all the lives we put into that. molly: police calling it more than just another tip. they say it's a solid lead in the whereabouts of a missing mother. we'll tell you what some tourists swear they saw. bill: jodi arias does not have a college degree but that's not stopping her from being her own attorney in court. >> i can't in good conscience ask you to sentence me to death. listen up... i'm reworking the menu. veggies you're cool... mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals.

molly: a mother missing for nearly two weeks may be bound for the island north of seattle. police say a couple tourists say they saw jennifer houston and her car on a ferry to san juan island. she hasn't been seen since leaving her home two weeks ago to run an errand she told her husband. police call this a good lead. >> this is something that's serious enough that we'll take a look at it and make sure it pans out. she could be on lopez or shaw using the ferry systems. molly: we are joined on the phone by a captain from the police department. what are you hearing from your counter parts to the north? >> i heard from the undersheriff

that they were able to confirm the ferry system was not able to find the vehicle that was reported on the ferry. ml do you mean via video that they scan the various videos of the ferries? >> that's correct. the ferry system was not able to confirm the sighting. molly: do you have of any information how much they looked over these video or if they were able to retrieve a great number of them for these different routes? >> i have been told they looked through all the videos they have but they were not releasing that to us. we are relying on them, the ferry operators, the ferry system to look over those videos. molly: this has been such an element of hope for the family and also for all of you who have been working so hard on this.

how do you feel now that you are getting word this may not lead to any more information? >> you said it best. it's hope. we want to have a positive resolution for the family and hopefully find her wherever she is. if she took off, just give us a call to let us know and we can pass it along to the family and that would let them know she is safe. molly: her husband had been concerned about this and hopeful this lead would lead to something but fearful resources would be put just on these islands and not elsewhere. are you getting tips from anywhere else beyond the seattle area? >> we have tips all throughout the west coast. some in idaho. i fielded some calls in texas. and everywhere we are able to we send law enforcement there to

try to retrieve video or confirm or deny those sightings are actually her. molly: thank you so much. bill: back door breaking news. a plane escorted back to the airport in manchester, originally leaving doha in qatar. the man has been taken off the flight. also, the federal debt spiking under president obama. can we get out from under the red ink ever and how we got so deep near the first place? >> we have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going have to pay back. $30,000 for every man, woman and child. that's irresponsible. it's unpatriotic.

bill: back to the breaking news. manchester england, this airliner that originated in doha, qatar. we know hah man apparently was escorted off the plane. our sister network sky news tweeted out a picture of what they say is a picture of the man being led away from that plane. you can see that in the bottom right-hanright-hand corner of yr screen. qatar airways put out a statement and confirm flight qr23 did originate in doha in qatar. there are 29 passengers, 13 crew members. the crew received a threat about a possible device on board and qatar airways immediately took the precautions to alert british authorities which meant

scrambling a filer jet. the crew is fully assisting police at the airport with inquiryies or questions. the safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority. what we do understand at the moment is what alerted the flight attendants and what alerted the captain on board to notify british authorities. what was that threat, was it something they said? was it something they saw on board? those are questions we don't know for the moment. but the plane is safe and we'll see whether this amounts to anything in the end. back to that breaking news and gregg palkot who was on that steery. molly: an alarming look at the total debt the federal government is racking up. in january 2009 the debt was $10 trillion. as of last week the debt soared to more than 17 million and more than the debt increased under

all the u.s. presidents from george washington to bill clinton combined. if you can talk about the historic nature of this. >> since president obama walked into the white house all the way through to now we have added $7 trillion to the debt. it's gone straight up. by the time he was out of the white house in january of 2017 it will be a total of $10 trial add to the debt. the thing to look at here is actually the interest that that's costing all of us. this fiscal year we are paying out $353 billion just in interest. that is $7 billion a week. 10 years from now we'll be paying out $17 billion a week in

interest. this is very, very important. just think about the mortgage you may or may in the have on your house. when you have a debt that's precisely the same size as the economy that you are running. in other words your mortgage is the same size as the house, the same value as your house you are in trouble. because you are about to pass the tipping point and that's where we are now. passing the tipping point where the overall debt and the money we owe on that debt is greater than the size of the our economy. that sends up the financial red signals. that's the alarm bells start ringing right about now. molly: the b why, where is it all coming from? >> the great recession 2008 on wards and the low recovery thereafter. a huge increase in government spending and no entitlement reform. those three factors pushed up

the debt in the five obama years. molly: $7 trillion is $61,000 per person. the median income $51,000. what do it mean for the average american? >> it means in the future a lot of the tax dollars we are paying will be taken up by paying down or paying off this debt. a big, big chunk of it goes not to spending on the people of our economy, but to paying off the debt, the interest on the debt. a big chunk of that interest goes overseas. it doesn't come here to america to simulate our economy. it goes overseas. another huge problem. molly: in other administrations the debt has been run up as well. we have a couple years left before a new president comes in. is there any hope for the american people? this is a long-time trend. >> the accumulation of debt has

speeded up because the numbers are so large. in the immediate future there is no prospect of getting this debt under control unless you control entitlement spending you haven't got a prayer of getting this debt really under control. even though president obama has brought down the deficit, the annual debt, he brought it down, it's still running close to a half trillion a year. it's unprecedented. you can't wrap your arms around numbers in the the trillions. you just can't do it. bill: a marine accused of crossing the mexican border with

weapons is facing court. >> the customs agents admitted that the order to search the vehicle was a blank order that was signed three days in advance of the fact taking place. and one of the agents admitted that with his own handwriting he filled in andrews name and the information for his vehicle. bill: william lajeunesse watched that trial. was anything resnostled this trial yesterday, william? >> reporter: in short, no, it wasn't. the number one takeaway that sergeant tahmooressi isn't getting out of the prison anytime soon and there is no certainty he will beat the charge that carries a sentence of up to 14 years. his attorney tried to do two things. lay that foundation that mexican customs denied him his civil

rights when they held him for 8 hours without an attorney, a translator or access to the consulate. secondly, there are violations in that paperwork to have that evidence thrown out such as the form used to search the vehicle was dated before he got to mexico, and secondly that it contained a forged signature. but the government attorney says the search was legal, the documents while not perfect reflect bureaucracy not fraud. surveillance video from the port of entry the government claims is confidential and won't hand over. >> it has been denied by customs under the guyunder the guise its confidential information and we are waiting for an answer from

customs. >> reporter: many want president obama to get involved. but mexico insists it's not a diplomatic or political issue but a legal issue that will be resolved in the mexican courts. bill: it's been months. what's next for tahmooressi. >> reporter: we don't have a new court date. because the court is not open we have a hard time getting read on that. we have video of him departing under very heavy guard. later today his mother jill will speak to us at the belly up tavern in solana beach. she spoke to andrew briefly yesterday. she says he's despondent after 4 months in jail and no prospects of getting out anytime soon. bill: police confirming to fox that a man has been detained on the news about the plane in manchester, england.

detained on suspicion of a bomb hoax after that qatar plane was grounded in the u.k. the plane was ground at manchester airport a short time ago. the airport has since reopened, the incident is under investigation. molly: a crisis after crisis emerges around the world, the position the president's foreign policy is putting us in and the trickle effect it's having at home. bill: in syria he drew a red line if they used chemical weapons. they did and the president did nothing. the cumulative message weakness.

get reait's crabfest atk, dip. red lobster! the years largest variety of crab. like new crab lover's trio! or try new jumbo lump crab over wood-grilled salmon. crabfest is now. but only for a limited time. so hurry in, and sea food differently! when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs.

advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. save you fifteen percent or huh, more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know the great wall of china wasn't always so great? hmmm...what should we do? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

molly: a senior u.s. military

official says the shooting in afghanistan left a significant number wounded both americans and afghans. bill: president obama told us weeks ago he was studying the isis situation and we haven't heard anything since. that's the pattern. the president studies, and analyzes and that's the problem. china is threatening to take island i doesn't have possession of in the far east. just take them. all over the world there is fear in the air. bill: bill o'reilly saying the world is descending into chaos and the united states is work from a place of weakness. we'll debate that from bob beblg

and rich lowry. good morning to both of you. i trust you were watching the factor last night? what did you think of the case he was laying out? >> i think internationally it's a slam dunk. you look after the red line fiasco. no one takes the u.s. seriously anymore. you pulled out of iraq. consequently you have a huge swath of territory in the middle east that is dominate bid arguably the strongest most powerful extremist group in modern times. congratulations, mr. president. >> you laid that all on barack obama. there would not be a single thing different in john mccain were president of the united states. what this is, it's sophomoric, it's uninformed. it used to be geopolitically in the world.

when the united states and the u.s.s.r. were against reach other you have line you have one against the other. but now you have unleashed these long held -- bill: you can see the evil in the world. but here is o'reilly's point, the president study ofsing with discusses and analyzes but does nothing. you look at the red line in syria, it was drawn and we did nothing. you look at the build yum of isis -- the buildup of isis in syria and we have done nothing. all i know they are doing about it is shipping a lot of the hellfire missiles into iraq. >> at the end of the world war ii colonial lines were drawn in africa were gone. the idea that somehow the united states is going stand between the sunnis and shiites and work out thousands of years of

cultural differences is absurd. >> the idea of the cold war is false. there were radioactive controversial issues about how we were going to respond to the soviets. the idea that a simple and easy when we had a nuclear armed soviet union threatening us. if we maintained a residual force we could have buttressed the iraqi army and restrained maliki and we could have kept these people from coming back. >> do you want to stay in iraq as as long as we are in korea. >> as long as you had a residual force. bill: the force would be able to push back. gentlemen, gentlemen, o'reilly says the cold truth is the american society is growing weak and anyone who points it out is demonized by the liberal media politically.

he says we are a divided nation and it's derelict of the media to report nothing on this. >> i think most people listen to what bill said and would not during most of it even if they had a equitablthey -- if they hb lerks. we are piling debt up to fund current consumption and our position is collapsing abroad. >> i agree with that. that's as corrosive an issue that we have got. but the idea that america is decline. the internet is here. this is a real world we are living in. the internet controls so much of what we do in terms of culture. you may not like it. bill may want to go back to "ozzy and harriet" but it's not going to be that way. his kids and my kids are living

in an internet world that wasn't there when we were kids. bill: you led the segment with sophomoric. thank you, my man, see you at 5:00. molly: a top democrat in new york and possible white house contender facing investigation after governor kom question quoe committee he started on corruption. bill: jodi arias says she'll defend herself and go at it legally alone. >> either way i'll spend the rest of the my life in prison.

bill: those are your eyes, aren't they? molly: they might be green. bill: i think they stole the blue eyes of molly line. police say anyone caught using their bright lights inappropriately will be forced to stare at them for five minutes in addition to paying a fine. molly: that's a bad idea. not a good idea. no way. molly: a judge giving jodi arias the green light to represent herself in the upcoming phase of

her murder trial where they will decide whether she'll be put to death. will carr is live in los angeles. why does jody want to represent herself? >> reporter: it's no secret areas and her attorneys d it's no see cress arias and her attorneys have clashes from the beginning. she maintains she killed her lover in self-defense. but the crime was gruesome. alexander was stabbed 3 times, had his throat slit and was shot. the jury hung when trying to decide to put jodi to death. now a new jury will decide on the death penalty. during the case her lawyers tried to withdraw from the case several times. >> there have been arguments. i'm fine with agreeing to

disagree. but what i don't -- what i like to do is understand their position. and their reason for their position because that helps me accept their position. so i won't name names, but sometimes certain individuals hesitant to explain themselves. >> reporter: arias' attorneys are off the case. they will still be there to advise. but now arias is the one calling the shots. molly: there are still people waiting for closure. do we expect that trial to get started next month? >> reporter: it's supposed to start september 8. the judge made it clear he will not allow arias any extra time top prepare. he even urged her to strongly reconsider. but you have to remember all she has to do is convince on con d e

juror. she could stave off the keith penalty and save her life. >> thank you so much. bill: sources telling fox news a significant number of casualties in afghanistan. a man dressed in an afghan police uniform opened fire there. a bomb scare on a plane out after qatar. a man under arrest for what may have been a hoax at 30,000 feet. is ready. you know what he brings? any questions? can i get an a, steve? yes! three a's! he brings his a-game! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com!

bill: police confirming with fox news a man has been detained on suspicion of a bomb hoax after a plane that rage in thed in qatar was ground manchester, england. at least one fighter jet scrambled as an escort for that

plane. 300 passengers and crew on board. the airport since reopened. we don't know why or what happened on board or what was said or what was seen. the incident is under investigation. and deadly insider attack at a military base in afghanistan. senior military officials telling fox news a man dressed in an afghan uniform opened fire on soldiers from nato killing at least one, wounding 15. many of the 15 american. welcome to america's newsroom. welcome back. molly: a deadly attack taking place at a military training academy at kabul. a chaotic situation. up s. officials still sorting out what happened there. ed henry live at the white house, what's the latest?

>> reporter: this was a base west of kabul. among the dead apparently was a german brigadier general. as for americans. a dozen of the wounded were americans. at least one of them killed. the white house is being cautious about putting out too much detail as they sort out what happened. a spokesman saying this -- we can confirm an incident happened today in kabul city. we are in the process of assessing the situation, more information will be released as we sort out the facts. what this under scores is this so-called blue on green violence. molly: certainly this is not good news for the white house.

they are trying to wind down the war. >> reporter: the president indicated most u.s. troops will be out of afghanistan in 2014. he will be going to a nato summit to cuss the drawdown and leave behind a small contingent of troops. ping slips have been going out to the battlefield including majors. certainly the morale is not very high. molly: thank you so much. bill: retired general jack keane is a fox news military analyst. good morning to you. there is not yet a way known to help prevent this entirely, general? >> we tried very hard. the best thing to do has to do with screening. so that you don't get these taliban inside your ranks or if there is a taliban sympathizer you are watching the after goons

and monitoring. this takes the afghan chain of command to do this effective live. we have 53 in 2012. 1 last year. but nonetheless. as ed pointed out in the intro, these things are devastating when they take place because they are demoralizing for sure. >> this is a base east of kabul. it's not bagram north of kabul. but you say this is an idea conceived by the british? what was the thinking there? >> this was an attempt to institutionalize the future development of the afghan officer corp. it's a great idea conceptualized based on sandhurst military academy which takes cadets in a one-year and gets them to the

level of platoon leader. the british put this model in place. they oversight. the instruction is all provided about it afghans. that is key to success here. so this is in its first 6 months of existence. and it is a brilliant idea and something that bodes well for the afghans. bill: 200 positions and 10,000 afghan men. >> over 10,000 people and they screened them anonymously. they didn't want to know anything about family background or what part of the country they were from because they didn't want to have any ancestral or family influence in this selection process. the brits are good at screening people to be for candidates. it's one of their great strengths they had during world war ii. bill: fox news confirmed 1

americans among the victims. 16 died, one is wounded. molly: a top aid to new york's democratic governor cuomo *. the governor disbanded the anti-corruption commission after the aide asked that they not investigate cuomo's allies. what do we know about this? >> reporter: these are allegations. the aide's name is larry schwartz. he's secretary to the governor. that's one of the most powerful positions in the state government. governor cuomo created the commission to root out crime. he creates this commission. when it gets to close to one of his allies, what he does is

disband that commission. that launches an investigation by one of the most powerful law enforcement officials in the country. no one is more powerful than him except eric holder. when that investigation begins. these are the allegations. mr. cuomo, aid to mr. cuomo subsequent out and started to influence the people on the commission saying he wasn't applying political pressure. we have a case, allegations involving obstruction of justice. i have covered politics for a long time particularly on the state level. that old saying it many the coverup not the crime that gets you. when you are talking about obstruction you are noting about not just the crime itself of disbanding it but trying to hide going out and disbanding it and tell people not to talk to a u.s. attorney is bad stuff.

does bharara take on another huge player in national and new york state politics andrew cuomo? he's up for reelection. that's where we are right now, pretty interesting story. molly: it will be interesting to see where this lead. bill: would it be handled differently by the media if the governor were a republican? who without question. in new york it would be quite a didn't tone and pace for this investigation. basically what we have had happen here is in new york the governor appoints the commission to root out public corruption last summer. by march he's disbanding the moreland commission because it's getting too close to some of his

particularly helpful campaign so much yats and allies and disbandit. the arrogance of doing so is breathtaking even by new york standards. a republican by now would be pilloried. does something smell here or not? where does this lead? >> if i may doing it smell to high heaven? this governor -- we talk about scandals, the coverup as charlie just mentioned. but the arrogance that leads a governor who has appointed a public integrity commission, 25 members, former prosecutors, and then to try to constrain their

activities because they get too close to people he happens to be associated with is mindlessness. andrew cuomo is no fool but he has behaved foolishly here. the second part of this really becomes what happens next. and the u.s. attorney is not a man to cross. and he has crossed a line in which bharara feels a responsibility to investigate. he will not be back off and he is quite a different entity than the commission and its members that governor cuomo appointed. bill: lou dobbs with us there. molly: a new court ruling sparking debate over what should happen to the detainees at guantanamo.

bill: hundreds of home in the path of a raging wildfire. how crews are making out in the battle to fight that fire. molly: a war of words over the immigration crisis at our southern border. >> this is a part of the war on whites that's being launched by the democratic party and the way in which they are launching this war is by claiming whites hate everybody else.

bill: disturbing news out of afghanistan. this is what we believe we know at the moment. among those injured and shot at this base east of kabul, 16 were americans and getting word moments ago at least one of those americans has died of injuries there. 15 others wounded and we are still trying to sort out the facts. this is east of the capital city of kabul. this is a base heavily populated by nato troops, american troops. a lot of afghanis work there as well. the reports indicate the afghan short was wear allege afghan police or military uniform and that's how they were able to get on to base and open fire. we are hoping for the best in the end given the news we have gotten already today. 15 minutes past. molly: new questions about the

future of some prisoners at guantanamo bay once the warp in afghanistan comes to an end. a federal judge now suggesting they may be set free. she turned down the request to be released upon the war is over but she says the government has a duty to let prisoners go once the war is gone. give us a little insight into this, what the judge has said, an apparent duty for people to be released. is that the case? do you agree with that? your thoughts on her making this argument. >> this is standard law of war jurisprudence. this is what the law of war requires. at the end of hostilities the detaining power must release those chief taind during the

duration of the hostilities. the 2001 authorization for use of military force and other case in our courts stood for the proposition that we can detain terrorists who were part of the taliban or quied al qaeda for the duration of hostilities. this kuwaiti was asking to be let go now since operations in afghanistan are going to end next year. molly: they said no for now but how can all of this wrap up? where do we go from here? >> there will come a point in time and i and others have been making the case that this is true. sooner or later combat operations will end in afghanistan. and that is a political and a legal judgment of when combat operations actually end. but when that happens at least

the taliban detainees will have to be released because our war against the taliban will have ended but our war against al qaeda detainees will not have ended. the tricky question is what about the guys who are to both al qaeda and taliban. do they need to be released? that's the question they will not answer. molly: the president himself acknowledged there is a certain recidivism rate. >> yes. there is never a risk-free release from jails and prison around the united states. so that's not surprising. the question is will the administration preemptively come out and say by the president himself combat operations have ended in afghanistan. they may do so through the bilateral security agreement.

or they have may sit back and become passive-aggressive and let the courts decide once the detainees file these petitions. molly: how close are we to the decision being made? >> the pentagon, the d.o.d. leaders have been ramping count number of combat troops in afghanistan. we'll have a bilateral security aagreement sooner or later. once that's signed and once the president determines as a legal and political matter that combat operations ended or the courts say look you have said repeatedly that they are just there in a support role. you have less than 10,000 troops and they start ordering these detainees one by one. molly: a lot of people will be watching this closely as it unfold. bill: the rains came fast and

hard causing flash flooding and we'll take twhru to find out at aftermath. a man said he grabbed a shotgun when he heard somebody bang on his door at 4-30 in the morning. now he's facing second degree murder charges. he says it was all self-defense. >> today in front of this jury, why did you pull the trigger? >> to protect myself. i have cop but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay.

facing tough challenge from dr. wolf. dr. wolf has been under fire. this would be a closer race if not for facebook posts discovered seven years ago, pictures and x-rays of people with gunshot wound and other injuries online. included some remarks and captions he thought were funny but most of the general public thought off color. pat roberts is very hard. been out-of-state money spent against roberts. he is insider and been in washington too long. he is going after wolf, making

issue of character talking about kind of things on facebook. listen. >> i think character counts and, facts are facts. facts are stubborn things. and so, when voting public discovers, that there is a question about character, i think they ought to turn the other way. i think they will. >> reporter: mr. wolf argues when voters realize how long pat roberts has been in washington they will toss him out. if it is low turnout race might help dr. wolf. low turnout rates, this is my last chances for tea partiers to knock off republican incumbent. there are only two republicans in primaries. this one in kansas and tennessee. in both cases incumbents are both favorites by small amount. bill: dr. wolf, getting attention? >> reporter: this is groundswell of report this will be grassroots get-out-the-vote

contest. low turnout primaries favor challengers. is making pat roberts spends most of time in washington, d.c. and residence predominantly been in virginia. he has a house in kansas but rents it out. when he comes home rents a room from one much his tons norse. that is mr. wolf says it is proof positive for pat roberts to go. watch. >> you know pat roberts is not a bad man. i never said a single disparaging word about him after 47 years in washington clear he didn't got the job done. he votes for barack obama debt ceilings and tax increases and votes for kathleen sebelius. we have to stand up and fight. >> reporter: voting for kathleen sebelius refers to voting for her to be hhs secretary in the obama administration. a fellow kansan. this will be one of races go quite late tonight. we don't know exactly where things are. last couple of weeks, looks like a real trench fight with tea partiers looking to out of another republican incumbent. so far this year they haven't

been successful in that. this is one of the chances before the clock wind down. bill: carl cameron in kansas. good luck. molly. molly: a republican critic of the border bill coming out with strong accusations. >> democrats, they have to demagogue on this and try to turn it into racial issue which is emotional issue rather than thoughtful issue. if it become as thoughtful issue if we win, we win big and they lose big. molly: why congressman mo brooks accusing white house and democrats waging a war on whites. bill: there is whole lot of junk floating around in space, molly. one country is taking action. which country is that? molly: we have to protect ourselves. bill: wait until you hear what they're doing. this is fascinating. ♪ veggies you're cool... reworking the menu.

situation. >> good to see you, molly. inch of rain in less than an hour doesn't sound like tremendous amount of flooding rainfall but in this part of the country, across parts of the desert southwest. that is a lot of rainfall, very significant. you saw images on your screen of just tremendous flooding across parts of nevada. you know what? the same storm system has been producing areas of rain across parts of california as well. over past 4hours. we saw mudslides out across southern california over the weekend. look how much is estimated that we saw in terms of precipitation, just a couple of inches out here across parts of sound california and parts of nevada, into western parts of that state. flood watches have been lifted across areas seeing flooding because that storm system is on the move because they have been extending far north parts of nevada and western colorado. these are areas that are expected to see some flash flooding later this afternoon and later today.

right here on the radar image already much quieter picture across parts of las vegas. significant storms roll through there over past 24 hours. molly, let's head over to you. molly: maria, thanks for keeping us up-to-date on situation that caught a lot of us by surprise. bill: a congressman making a claims that democrats and presidential obama using racial politics and dividing folks by skin color. it is how he is saying it has everybody's attention. have a listen on here. >> this is a part of the war on whites being launched by the democratic party. the way in which they're launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. it is a part of the strategy that barack obama implemented in 2008, continued it in 2012 where he divides us all on race, sex, greed, envy, class warfare all those kinds of things. that is not true. bill: that was part of what he had to say. david webb, radio talk show host

on siriusxm patriot. tammy bruce radio talk show host out of l.a., both fox news contributors. michael warren, staff writer for "the weekly standard." sit tight in washington. you will be arbiter in chief in matter of moments because tammy bruce is in new york city. welcome, good morning to you. what do you think about the claim he is making? >> look, this started because a columnist said that the republican party was the party of white people effectively. so he was asked about this he was baited. and i'm glad you're playing entire comment because there is context. however as you noted, when you say something that can be taken out of context, it will be. this is what i termed the squirrel in politics. this is about of course compression and race. when the real issue for everyone at border and what people are concerned about is economic instability, is sustainability of what is happening, which is a completely color-blind dynamic. we know when the economy goes down, that people of color in this country are hurt first. so these arguments of course abandoned people of color,

abandon middle class, people who are harped economically by pretty much kind of a chaotic dynamic not only at the border but how people expect to be able to handle this. here we are talking about race comments when real issues are economic ones. bill: his big point that democrats divide and they win on that. >> that is accurate. bill: but you don't win if you argue the merits and his big point david, is that people of all skin color believe you got to obey the law. >> yes they do. bill: that comes -- >> that is absolutely true. sadly when eric holder says he is activist, versus being attorney general responsible for upholding laws or juan womans talks about this or ron fournier or other journalists out there they push dynamic. yes, democrats i cans use this, ethnic strategy, identity politics does work. we have to be realistic out there, i wish what he said taken word whites out of it, the context of what is there is true. bill: you agree? >> we agree on that part of it,

here is reality us did matter in america, the population, the majority of america is still white. therefore the majority in both parties are white. that points to why identity politics matter for the democrats. hispanics and asians, fastest growing population, hispanics younger median age. therefore the longer term democrat voters if they convert them. asians same approach bit democrats. what is failed in our country is the voter. the willfully ignorant voter. republican, democrat or otherwise, bill who not stayed on issues and challenged politicians on both sides. bill: you have a point on that. >> let me suggest it is really difficult when you have a mainstream media is pushing this kind of a line. that is the first time really was obama campaign in '08, dividing american against american? whether it was 99 to the 1%. gays against straits, women against men. same war on women theme as well. is this really cynical kind of ugly divide. when the media is facilitating it, whether it is columnists

like ron fournier or anybody else who wants to inject race and they get self-righteous, oh, my gosh, look at horrible republicans and conservatives who get drawn into that argument when it is also liberal politics. bill: this is what mo brooks said. should not divide anybody based on national heritage or race but bring us all together. that is melting pot idea of america is all about. american's skin pigmentation is acquired at birth. has nothing to do with merits of person how one should -- quickly, going to arbiter in chief. >> if this was a liberal politician said there was a war on blacks, you would not be hearing the same kind of argument and shock. bill: you believe that? >> we hear it all the time. bill: michael, what do you think of this, based on what you're hearing? >> yeah, i think if mo brooks could have done it again he wouldn't use the term war on whites. i agree with the both the guests, this is something that affects people of all races.

i will say one thing, there is something interesting going on here, not necessarily a war on whites but i do think the democratic party is indifferent to the traditional white democrat. i don't think that white democrats really fit n. talking middle class, blue-collar, white democrats fit into the democratic coalition anymore. i think that is why you're seeing, what i would argue a little more indifference to some of the more populist arguments against some of these immigration reforms. bill: you say democrats are ignoring white voters in order to go after others? >> no, no. i would just say that i think the, a lot of the arguments i think a lot of democrats made along populist lines against immigration reform, there aren't too many of them, but some of them are making these arguments. i don't think that fits into the way the modern democratic party looks at their own coalition. i think they see themselves being a party of young people of unmarried single women, of racial minorities and rich liberals but not necessarily

old-school white democrats. bill: got to quickly. >> where republicans failed, when you have a candidate like kneel love in the last term and did not go out of your way, would be the first black woman. bill: they helped her. she had spot at convention. >> but that was pushed for. bottom line is. now she will get in. this feeds argument on the left. when that would be the first black woman, for republicans in congress, that tells you something, republicans have a long way to go when it comes to reaching out, because there is lots of conservative people -- bill: five seconds, david. >> what they need to do is get to work on the ground and stop playing top line headlines. i wish second comment by mo brooks was used, accident of birth is your ethnicity. after that we're all americans. bill: david, michael warren, thanks to you. welcome to new york. >> thank you, dear. pleasure. molly: massive earthquake leaving hundreds dead and thousands more homeless as crews search for survivors. bill: the man accused of killing

bill: stunning new images from the devastation from the earthquake in southwest china. 6.1 magnitude quake, killed more than 400, triggering massive landslides. some 10,000 troops leading recovery efforts, using pick axes and bulldozers, whatever they can to clear roads and collapsed buildings. other volunteers using bare hands to comb through the rubble and try to find survivors. now day three since that quake hit. molly: the man on trial for shooting and killing a woman on the front porch of his detroit home will be back on the stand

today. 55-year-old, theodore wafer said he heard banging on his door, 4:30 in the morning, got out the shotgun thinking to scare someone away, defend himself. he thought there could be home intruder there. when he opened his door and pulled the trigger and killed 19-year-old kanisha mcbride who was trying to get help after car crash. he said he feared for his life and didn't want to be victim in his home. >> i explained the best i could. that came out denial like this. >> today in front of this jury, why did you pull the trigger? >> protect to save myself, to defend myself. it was, it was them or me. at that moment. molly: wafer says second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. joining me now, wendy patrick a

prosecutor and deputy district attorney and brian claypool, a criminal defense attorney. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. molly: an interesting case. we're watching it. >> hi, molly. molly: hello. we're watching this unfold in court. this man has been testifying. he previously said he didn't know the gun was loaded. went through to the front door, shooting through a screen door, ultimately this was self-defense, doing it more in a reflex but prosecutors believe that there is enough to charge him and they have taken him to trial. wendy, your thoughts? >> well, this in a word, this is a case about options. there were other options available to this man than shooting a 12 gauge shotgun outside of the door. that is one of the things a jury will have to look at. the whole case will be viewed, viewed now in hindsight but foresight will be important to the jurors. they're going to want to know exactly what facts and circumstances this man was confronted with, that led him to believe that deadly force was necessary. molly: now, brian, your thoughts on this.

because he made a case there had been some crime in the neighborhood, that he was fearful. your thoughts. >> well this murder trial is much like fine art. whichever side gives the most vivid picture and snapshot of what happened on that evening is going to win this case. right now i think mr. wafer is going to win this case because he is giving vivid details of what he went through that evening, molly. remember, all he has to prove he had reasonable honest fear for his life. you're hearing him testify, that at 4:30 in the morning, he is hearing pounding on front door. pounding on the side door. he doesn't know who it is. he lives in neighborhood where drug paraphernalia out in the front yard. he then opens the door. here are a couple crucial facts weigh in his favor. he opens the door a little bit, molly. and she comes from the side. so he is alarmed. it escalates his fear. and then she is within a foot of him. he doesn't really have time to analyze it. then the most powerful piece of evidence he think he testified

about is, she did not say anything. had she said, hey, mr. so-and-so i need help, maybe he wouldn't have shot. molly: prosecutors make the point in this case he didn't initially run to call 911 first. he argues he was trying to find his cell phone. wendy. >> exactly. one of the things the jury gets to do, when the defendant takes the stand he is treated like any other witness. so they get to judge his credibility. part of way they will do that in this case, exactly what you said. they are going to compare what he said originally to what he is saying now. that is one of many things they get to do, to decide is that the original story he gave the police? if not, why not? the proverbial smoking gun if you will in this case the shotgun that he used because that was one of the topics that came up in the 911 call, whether he knew it was loaded. now of course, it is self-defense. so anytime you get inconsistent defenses, being offered by somebody on trial for this kind of a count, all of those things that the jury gets to look at,

think about, to compare the story. may come down to credibility, once they have a chance to weigh all the evidence. molly: renisha mcbride, 19 years old. not here to testify. we're relying on what the defendant got to say. he has gotten up on the stand. will that make a difference, brian. >> absolutely. he is the person can tell story how he felt that evening. he tells everybody, i live neighborhood, the by the way, molly the violence index in city of dearborn, 17%. 83% other cities are safer than dearborn. dearborn heights, the crime index is 33%. 67% of other cities are safer. he is telling story in the jury. he is saying sit in my chair. get in my shoes. i'm hearing pounding. i have time to get my phone. another thing he is being remorseful.

he is on the stand saying i'm really sorry she died. i'm really sorry this happened. that will help him. molly: thank you very much, brian claypool, wendy patrick, thanks for joining us. we'll watch it as it unfolds and trial goes forward. >> thank you. bill: jenna lee standing by. welcome back, jenna. how are you. >> hi, bill. we're watching breaking news out of england where fighter jets escorted airliner to manchester airport. took the man in handcuffs. turns out it was hoax. we'll talk about how officials responded. concerns of ebola spreading in major city as another infected american comes back to the united states. today is primary day in america. voters in four states are heading to the polls. we'll take you to major races. sunken treasure raised bit by bit from the ocean floor. we'll speak to explorers raising it from the deep. i have my eye on some of that jewelry. i have to tell you. not just gold. bill: good luck with that. thanks, jenna. see you at top of the hour.

dangerous objections. there are millions of little pieces of space junk. bill: why are they dangerous? what could they do? >> they're larger than the millions of tiny, like speck sized pieces of space junk still up in the air. the bigger ones are ones we have to worry about. bill: i see. the big danger they knock out satellites and then you lose what? you lose gps and what else? >> you lose gps. you lose the phone. you lose facebook. bill: what are we going to do? >> i know. it is bad. bill: the interesting thing about this story we talk about this quite often, every six months we visit issue, we think at some point it could happen. japanese are doing something about it. what is the plan in tokyo. >>? 2019 they're planning on launching a military space force that would use telescopes and radar to monitor these dangerous pieces of space junk to understand where they are and if they could potentially threaten satellites and even people in space. bill: so the japanese are doing this. what are we doing?

>> nasa is looking into the same problem. so the, nasa is looking at pieces of space junk that could potentially hit the international space station and actually just recently the space station had to go through evasive manuever to avoid pieces of space junk. bill: so it is issue? that happens pretty often actually. bill: more than we think, right? i thought idea was redirect asteroids away from earth. is this a similar concept where you redirect space junk so it doesn't come into contact with something we need? >> yeah. actually what is interesting, instead of directing away from her, direct the space junk towards earth to burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere. >> we can do that. >> yeah. bill: we can't do that right now. >> we can't do that right now. there are options for satellites that could be reused or refueled so they won't become space junk in the future. other companies and, organizations are look into taking, sort of a satellite and

pulling space junk into the atmosphere with it. bill: the japanese think they can do this in 2019. that is five years from now. i don't know, does it, does it take that long? is this kind of thing that keeps you worried at night? >> well, i mean, it is kind of thing that we do have eyes looking at these issues right now, but the more eyes we have the better. so with japan looking at it too, it will definitely help bolster every country around the world and protect that stuff. bill: space.com, her yam cramer. molly. molly: scare in the air after reports of a possible suspicious device on board. was it all sparked by a hoax?
