8:04 am
people, even iran is backing this more moderate figure a more inclusive government could mean more international help for people like the ethnic minority yazidis. many of them have fled the isis militants, they are, maybe, in their numbers about 20,000 on a mountain about, west of here, stranded, desperate for food, desperate for water. also just learned from centcom, in addition to relief missions they have been flying to this mountain, a u.s. drone has hit a mortar position of the isis militants, firing on kurdish peshmerga fighters. there are also trying to help the i can't seed cities. they are -- yazidis, and they are crucial to the city of irbil where the front lines of the militants is 30 miles away. in the city of irbil that waves of christian refugees coming, told by the militants they have to convert to islam or die. they have coexisted with must limbs in this region for century
8:05 am
after century. now, with this new brand of extreme terrorism, they're driven from town after town after town. desperate times. back to you, jenna. jenna: greg, great to have you on the ground there. thank you very much. ed? >> one-time member of white house inner circle taking aim at his former bosses for what he calls the curse of the second term. making a rather radical proposal to fix it. economist larry summers served as treasury secretary of course in the clinton administration and director of the national economic council for president obama. in "the washington post" he addresses second term problems as far as back as fdr, writing, quote, second presidential terms almost without exception very difficult for the president and his team and for the government and the country. his answer, no more second terms at all. talk to ellison barber, staff writer of the "washington free beacon." thanks for joining us. we'll get to the prescription larry summers talks about. let's get to the problem. when one of your former economic advisors is saying you hit the second term wall this president
8:06 am
has really reached those second term blues, hasn't he? >> we see hillary clinton as well. hillary clinton and larry summers says if you criticize the administration, administration we were part of, now is probably better time. he has low approval rating on foreign policy and overall. the time to do it is now. i read the larry summers article thought it was more of defense than criticism. what he is saying some way the problems he has now are not entirely his own fault and maybe not related to his first term policies, hey, look, going back to fdr this is problem they all have. this the nature how it is. this is offering an excuse to some degree for the problems this administration is having right now, saying that is the nature of way things are. correlation is not necessarily a causation. >> larry summers, you're right, talks about a broken congress and how media plays a role and partisan divide and suggests perhaps one way to fix this,
8:07 am
eliminate a second term and have one 60-year term. what do you think about that? >> it is interesting argument and that is one you doesn't necessarily hear often. should the 22nd amendment be ratified or removed has been around forever. representative jose serrano proposed 10 years different bills to repeal that. steny hoyer supported that idea, mitch mcconnell, and harry reid. this is debate people have a lot. i saw 2003 poll from fox at some point bill clinton brought up idea of getting rid of term limits. that is argument you hear. not making one but getting rid of them entirely and only 20% of the politics. >> we get tired of them after four or five years, democrat, republican. >> all the time. >> serving three, four terms, seems more radical. this idea, look, eliminate re-election, so you're not focused on polls all the time. not focused on fund-raising in years, 3, 4 of your first term, instead one and done. you have to get stuff done. >> counter argument, look at
8:08 am
first terp, sometimes the first terms are more successful and incentive and accountability those politicians have to worry about the fact they will be held accountable for voters. look back at the president's state of the union speech say i have a pen and phone. he would not say that out on election campaign because he knows that wouldn't do well. after the fact when he doesn't necessarily worry about re-election, everyone else, media, everyone is worried who the next guy is going to be you can get away with saying things like that. there is a strong argument another election is very food incentive to make politicians and make presidents want to do more while they're in there because they have to worry how voters would respond. >> you would be lame duck almost immediately and people might wait you out. i live in washington area and virginia, governors with one four-year term. whether democrat or republican he have this to get moving on day one. there is no we're going to bicker and sit around. they have got to get moving. >> that could be a fair argument maybe it's a good idea worth debating what larry summers
8:09 am
ultimately concludes, we should have this debit but i think a lot of people will say and consistently seen argument years and years now, people bring up idea of changing the 22nd amendment, on the whole it is good thing to have term limits and have it kind of contained in presidents where they have to be accountable for the next election. in the senate and house, they don't have term limits. a lot of people say that is not bad. other people like jim demint made that big part of his tenure should have term limits for senators. >> didn't go anywhere. >> didn't go anywhere. debate in washington a long time. >> didn't go anywhere. ellison barber, thanks for joining us. jenna: what is in your bathroom? your morning routine could expose you to a chemical linked to cancer. a lot of companies are getting rid of this particular chemical but not this particular company. we'll explain. robin williams made the whole world laugh but his wildly personality had a side few really saw, a side he battled for decade. >> one on time, spirit all

sweating, extreme drowsiness, dizziness, or confusion. (male announcer) today's the day to ask your doctor about levemir® flextouch. covered by nearly all health insurance and medicare plans. ed: did you brush your teeth this morning? i certainly did. would appreciate it, thank you. can you do it with a cancer causing substance? millions of americans may have. an ingredient in colgate total toothpaste linked to cancer cell growth and other problems. it is called try close san. colgate said, for over 20 years, colgate total is subject of rigorous scientific review by fda and regulators in e.u., australia and canada, other countries which affirm the safety and unique effectiveness of colgate total in preventing
8:14 am
gingivitis. there the process used to gain fda approval in 1997. >> never seen him before in your life. ah. >> you won't believe this. i found my happy spot. took me three days to find it. guess what happened when i did think win. you know where it was? ♪ it was you. jenna: one of the many faces of robin williams as we remember his incredible talent and boundless energy and talent. he is dead at the age of 63. one ever his roles was all to real he talked about openly as addict. he admitted to abusing cocaine in the '70s an 08's n 2006 he checked himself into center for alcohol addiction falling off the wagon after 20 years. three years later he had heart surgery which mr. williams said
8:15 am
caused him to take stock of his life. bring in psychologist, chuck williams. addiction expert runs a recovery program, rebound brooklyn. great to have you on the program. so much to learn about what happened to robin williams today. joe, what are the things you've seen in your experience working with addicts? the surge are you say is key to look at. potentially a change in his life. why is that? >> you know, i don't know that anybody really knows. we don't totally understand addiction and depression but there is a strong correlation to a major surgery and heart surgery that correlates to severe depression. so he was, he had a number of risk factors. he was probably bipolar. didn't know the man personally. so i can't definitely say. he certainly acknowledged addictive behavioral problems. there are lots and lots of risk factors. bipolar people, 50% of them will attempt suicide at some point in their life. 15% of them will complete it. like any other chronic illness,
8:16 am
addiction and mental health requires it is continually treated and managed. and so i'm not exactly sure what happened. i think it was sort of the perfect storm of many many things that came together. jenna: you know, doctor, let me get dr. chuck in this as well because that is where the confusing part of it is, for all of us, dr. chuck. someone with such a bright light could be such a dark place. it comes as such a surprise for so many. >> right, jenna. the reality is that with the research shows that with folks like that, who are very talented, who are brilliant, gregarious, outgoing, effusive as robin williams was to put it lightly you can often times see also that they deal with mental health problems, like anxiety and like depression. it is not uncommon. we knew robin williams would have to carry this monkey on his back and posted a picture on instagram which is prophetic sadly, definitely for the rest of his life. he talked about it in the stand-up routine. and talked about it when he gave
8:17 am
interviews. it is genetic, organic, biological and wouldn't go anywhere. >> what about warning signs, joe, in general. taking a step back from this specific story, are there warning signs especially someone with a history as robin williams did, that we should pay attention in our own lives, if we know somebody that with the same story? >> i think warning signs are very subtle and very nuanced t would take a highly trained and skilled clinician, seasoned with many years of experience to be able to spot the warning signs just in our daily lives, it is very difficult for people to do that. that is one of the reasons we advocate for continued care well into, almost, like a maintenance level. even when people are in remission from their mental illness or they're sable or doing we, we continue to see mental health professionals. patrick kennedy always says that checkup from the neck up which is kind of corny but it is apropos. we always check our physical health, whether it is cancer
8:18 am
screenings or blood pressure and we don't check our mental health. that should be something that is done. jenna: dr. chuck, with so many different drugs out there, why is there no cure? >> because we don't understand, like my colleague said, we understand it in part. we don't understand it completely. the human mind is complicated, very interesting place which i love studying psychology and mental health. we have some of it figured out but we don't have a lot of it. we're still mapping interventions that would be appropriate to treat depression and we're even further behind when it comes to addiction, jenna. we're looking to make physical changes to the brain to treat addiction. outside of that we don't really have good treatment or intervention for it. jenna: with some people afflicted by this obviously, something that is unique story to an individual as we're pointing out for robin williams but not necessarily unique story for american families. one we continue to talk more about. dr. chuck, joe, great to have you both. thank you so much. >> thank you, jenna.
8:19 am
ed: important discussion moving forward. meanwhile a 17-year-old accused of horrific crime. the teen under arrest booked on charges of rape and murder of 6 years janise wright. backing new leaders in baghdad and terrorists tank take over territory in the another and current prime minister won't go. what should the u.s. do right now?
8:22 am
did you know a ten-second test could help your business avoid hours of delay caused by slow internet from the phone company? that's enough time to record a memo. idea for sales giveaway. return a call. sign a contract. pick a tie. take a break with mr. duck. practice up for the business trip. fly to florida. win an award. close a deal. hire an intern. and still have time to spare. go to comcastbusiness.com/ checkyourspeed if we can't offer faster speeds - or save you money - we'll give you $150. comcast business. built for business. jenna: right now some new information on a few come stories we're keeping an on happening now. 17-year-old from washington state appearing in court accused of the rape and murder of his 6-year-old neighbor, jenise wright. the girl went missing earlier this month. her body was found in the woods last thursday. in texas a dallas man is in custody after police believe was an ambush.
8:23 am
they arrived at reports of a fire and gunshots fired at one of their engines. police arrived. shots fired at them. standoff ensued. no one was injured. quite a situation in texas. mean naics arizona, police say five suspects part of a same family have been arrested after shoplifting from numerous stores including this dillard's on your screen. officers say when a guard confronted them, they doused him with pepper spray. >> prime minister maliki is still the prime minister right now. he is legally the prime minister. ed: the state department giving rather tepid statement to say the least about the status of iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki as president obama urges iraq new leaders to form a new government. iraq's president appointed his choice to replace maliki but he is clinging to power. this comes as the u.s. launches airstrikes on isis militants. what is the obama administration strategy moving forward?
8:24 am
my next guest was key player in the war in iraq. paul bremer, envoy to iraq under president bush. welcome, mr. ambassador. you heard right there, the state department, not so delicate dance. they basically want maliki out. they can't say that publicly. take us inside the room. you worked with maliki inside the bush administration. you had your frustrations with him how he was wielding power. do you think he will dig in here? we heard about tanks and troops lined up in baghdad. he wants to hold on to power. will he dig in? not even handwriting but sky writings on the wall at this point. >> i think i'm sympathetic with the administration's dilemma here. it is always difficult to get somebody to go ashore who has been your ally. on the other hand maliki has been clearly sectarian and iraq will be better off. under the constitution he is still technically the acting prime minister until the new government is formed. that part is correct. i think the president deserves
8:25 am
credit for making a tough decision to re-engage militarily in iraq which to me is the key issue. i'm not so clear exactly what the objectives are. there is lot of ambiguity of administration objectives in this military operation. ed: let's talk military then we'll get to diplomacy. the lt. general william mayville said flat-out we're not breaking momentum of isis. if we're not breaking momentum what is the point? are these airstrikes half-measures at this point? >> that is the problem. the president said over the weekend in an interview he did we will not allow the establishment of an islamic caliphate. in fact the terrorists have establish ad caliphate. i think it should be our policy not to allow terrorists not to get control of iraq. it's a major arab country in the heart of middle east. this is not afghanistan off not mountains somewhere. if that is our policy, it has to be our policy to change the balance of forces on the ground. the president yesterday from martha's vineyard went back and said, this really the job of the
8:26 am
iraqi government of the if it is in america's interest as the president said to prevent establishment of a terrorist caliphate, then america has to do something about it. which i think means a number of steps need to be taken. ed: can you briefly, i want to get to diplomacy, give me in 20 or 30 second what is steps specifically. >> there are three. one we've started arming the kurds. we need to do more of that and need to step up our intelligence coordination with them and special operations coordination. two, when iraqi government is putting together we need to help re-establish the officer corps that maliki purged in iraqi army. third as i suggested we need a broader campaign against islamic terrorists, certainly the case of the president's stated objective. ed: let's go to the formation of a new government. you mentioned interview the president did with "new york times" thomas friedman. he said his biggest regret foreign policy not preparing for basically a post-qaddafi libya. see similar candor from you.
8:27 am
you've taken a lot of heat over the years not preparing bell enough for postwar iraq. that is maybe part of the reason we're in this boat. president said he learned a lesson, do we have a answer day after. has he learned from that lesson and what lessons did you learn from your mistakes? >> same lesson if you go into country like iraq, libya or syria you have to have a postwar plan, that involves first and foremost adequate security. we didn't have adequate security in iraq until the surge. we never provided security in libya. those are the absolute prerequisite for any political development. in fact you say the same thing today in iraq. if we can provide security for the iraqis it is more likely we have a broad, unified, democratic iraq. ed: can that happen without u.s. ground troops though in 30 seconds? >> i think it probably can. i would never exclude it. i don't think it's a good idea to exclude anything in foreign policy but i think an air campaign with reconstituted
8:28 am
iraqi army and peshmerga, the kurdish force, could do it. ed: ambassador paul bremer. we appreciate your candor. thanks for joining us. >> nice to be with you. jenna: a big story there. tech experts going over lois lerner's hard drive saying they tried but can't recover anymore of her lost emails. what happens to the irs investigation now? we'll have a live report on that. plus the latest on the legal and financial fallout for tony stewart following that deadly racetrack crash this weekend. plus with so much serious news and important news at that we want to hear from you on lighter topic today, what are old wives tales or on pregnancy? ed has not cashed his vote yet predicting gender of the baby. we'll get ed on the record. dr. manny will be along with the truth. how do you tell, if you don't know, how do you tell if someone is having a boy or a girl? live chat is running. foxnews.com,/happening now. click "america's asking" tab to
8:29 am
8:32 am
ed: right now a quick look what is still to come this hour of "happening now." she told police she was kidnapped at gunpoint for 16 hours. why this michigan teenager may be the one facing very serious charges into. >> a spanish missionary priest infected with ebola virus in africa has died. is the outbreak getting worse. new details on a brazen bank
8:33 am
robbery that ended in a deadly shootout with police. what an autopsy report revealed about the death of a woman who was taken hostage. meanwhile, new information today on the irs targeting scandal. agency technology experts now telling a federal district court that they will not be able to recover anymore of lois lerner's lost emails after all of this. doug mckelway live in washington with more. doug, this story just keeps on going? >> reporter: sure does, ed. this information comes to us at a series of sworn declarations all filed by a conservative watchdog group, judicial watch. under court order the several i.t. exert perts had to recount on oath attempts to recover lois lerner's e-mails. the first man wrote quote, quote i made multiple attempts to run the test, each time the test would freeze and fail to complete. the failure of this test confirmed that the hard drive was not working properly.
8:34 am
the computer was later examined by a john minsek at irs. he wrote, he quote, opened the subject hard drive and notice ad well-defined concentric scoring around the center of the top platter that. means circular gouges were carved into the data platter. his declaration doesn't say how that could have happened. congressional investigators demand they turn over the barcode for learn ear's laptop but the deputy chief information officer wrote that they use quote, barcode property tags, placed on whole equipment and not on component parts. ultimately the hard drive was degoesed according to manning and batched with other miscellaneous equipment and transferred to external recycling contractor and destruction for recycling that. means that the hard drive or a shredded parts will never be found. judicial watch president tom fit 10 reacted to declarations with a statement, quoting, frankly
8:35 am
seems like the cover-up continues he said. he believes there are recipients of lerner's emails and people cc'd and lerner's assistants who monitored the emails will have access to them. they will make the case with a federal judge in another hearing august 25th. ed, back to you. ed: doug mckelway all over the latest twists and turns. thank you, doug. >> reporter: you bet. jenna: more fallout for three-time nascar champ tony stewart after his car struck and killed fellow driver, kevin ward, jr. in that fatal crash this weekend. investigators have not found out any criminal intent but not ruling out possibility of charges. there is question how stewart's long-time sponsors may react. there is lot more to this story. we have melissa francis host of "money" with melissa francis joins us live from the fox business network. one of the reasons we're looking at this because he is a big name, a big earner, right? >> he is a three-time nascar champ. he owns part of the stewart-haas
8:36 am
race team racing empire. with interest in nascars and sprint cars and stable of drivers include names like danica patrick. according to nascar team finances he made $17.3 million last year. if you break that down, 11.3 million was from salary and winnings, but 6 million was from endorsements. names like bass pro shop, mobile one, coca-cola, ritz, oreo and chevrolet. we're wonder about those sponsors and if they will stand by him. jenna: what does it seem like now? those are some big names you're mentioning. >> there is almost certainly a morals clause in his contract. there usually is. even if he is not charged or convicted they can say he is getting too batched press and that is enough for them to get out of it. this is not the first time trouble has surrounded him. four years ago in australia he allegedly hit a track promoter with a helmet. he shoved a photographer in 2002. according to reports he had another physical incident in 2004. he has been to anger management in the past. he is known for his temper
8:37 am
flaring that. makes this situation that much more difficult. jenna: but as you point out he is known entity, right? some of the sponsors know that about him, have sponsored him regardless. makes you wonder, is this comparable to some other athletes who lost a lot of endorsements when there was bad press surrounding them but perhaps not a conclusion you? think about tiger woods for example. >> right. jenna: the situation like that. >> that is the name thaw most often think of. there is always a caveat in these situations. you know the public tend to forget and focus goes back on your performance. a lot of tiger's problems, if you follow golf is that he just isn't the dominant, exciting golfer he once was. he is still fantastic. there was a time he never lost. he is still very bankable and watchable. for tony stewart continues to be a winning driver and trouble stops, stops following him around, he could be as bankable as ever. that is a lot of ifs. jenna: you're certainly right. a lot of ifs. this tuesday, only a few days since this incident over the weekend. >> it is tragic.
8:38 am
jenna: we'll see what the week brings. melissa, thank you. >> absolutely. ed: speaking of money, sad sign of the types in atlantic city. why this billion dollar casino is closing its doors after only two years and what it means forethe resort city's gambling industry. police say this 18-year-old woman lied about being kidnapped with a man from with a gun. trouble she could be in for next.
8:42 am
on "outnumbered." harris and kimberly are there. what is coming up? >> coming up those airstrikes in iraq, they may have little impact on jihadist fighters who overrun the country. the stunning admission from the pentagon as bad guys appeared to change tactics. new numbers, enroll mane in the affordable care act slash obamacare is way down. what could this mean for the health care survival? >> do you have cinderella syndrome. >> that is personal. >> why online dating may make folks stay single much longer, harris. >> #oneluckyguy at top. hour, on "outnumbered." there is a hint. is there a doctor in the house? ed, we want to have you back. ed: i've been one lucky buy. you are both tough on the couch. jenna is nice, kind, gentle. >> how can we compete with jenna, right? >> we know. but you know what? don't get on her bad side. she is stuff. she is tough. >> warning harris, thank you very much. stay in line for the next few
8:43 am
days here on "happening now." also more trouble on the boardwalk in atlantic city. a story we're watching because so many other different states and communities are trying to develop some of these casinos. the rebel casino and hotel will shut down after failing to buy a buyer in bankruptcy court. look at that property. $2.4 billion. it opened two years ago. it never turned a profit. it will be the second of four atlantic city casinos to close its doors this year. trump plaza and showboat casinos are closing in a matter of weeks. ed? ed: incredible. she said she was kidnapped by a man with a gun and held hostage for hours last thursday night but michigan place say 11-year-old haily turner made it up. she could face felony charges for filing a false report. her 16-hour disappearance involved a massive police search that involved two counties. damage shore, former prosecutor and doug purposes, criminal defense attorney. it is interesting, first of all
8:44 am
she is facing charges but also cost taxpayers there a lot of money. >> right the money is important. even more important she put people at risk. helicopter were part of the search. there were federal law enforcement agencies. state law enforcement agencies were diverted from other law enforcement activity. there is a real public safety risk when someone make as false report. false reports lead to arrests of innocent people. that didn't happen here but that is another danger when this happens. ed: how do you defend someone who has been involved in this. >> remember jennifer will banks. the bride. you don't need to throw the book at every single person n. doesn't necessarily have to involve prison time. however i think likely outcome, ed, will be a misdemeanor, some restitution for some of the expenses of overtime and so on. i mean i don't think she get off scott-free. what i'm saying we don't need to throw the book at her. ed: what do you think,
8:45 am
prosecutor? are with we throwing book. >> i agree she doesn't have serve prison time. should be some prosecution or conviction of misdemeanor or probation. you need to send a message to wider community if you make a false report there will be consequences. you don't get to say, no, i made it up and move on with your life. as i said before puts a lot of people at risk. fortunately no one was arrested. what if someone was? we've seen innocent people go to jail. we've seen it with a false report. ed: he is tough. >> she doesn't have to go to jail but at least some kind of prosecution. misdemeanor with probation might be appropriate here. we need to know what the motivation was. ed: doug, make as fair point. there is a spate of these. you mentioned runaway bride. is there copycat nature? people see that and want to get their 15 minutes? you. >> punish crime for different reasons. punishment, retribution and there is deterrence. that is what he is take talking about. we want to deter people from doing this and getting away with it. there is middle ground analysis.
8:46 am
