rolls on hold on for that. i'm uma pemmaraju. make it a great day, everybody. hello, i'm kelly write. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's news headquarters. >> i'm julie banderas. topping the hour, isis terrorists have taken a key dam in northern iraq that suppliesmost of the country's walter and electricity. we are live on the ground. and now a new round of air strikes targeting terrorist locations around that dam as the u.s. military road deepens in iraq. this raising concerns of mission creep. and texas governor rick perry indicted on felony charges on 0 abuse of power. the political fallout across the spectrum could be epic. but first, we begin with new

violence erupting last night in ferguson, missouri. anger hitting the boiling point over last week's shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer. demonstrators also looting the convenience store michael brown allegedly robbed moments before his deadly encounter with officer darin wilson. mike tobin has been following the story, joins us from sa sam's meat market in ferguson, also targeted last night. mike, what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, let me show you around, kelly. this is where the looters first tried to get in, by breaking out a window. they couldn't get in there so they came over here to the corner, broke out this window, pushed through the gate that's been replaced now. let me show you something else. this is where they started a fire and tried to burn the place down. what were they after?you can se. shelves of booze that have been looted. now, back in the store you have a lot of other goods. you've got the meat. they got the good meat. got into the beer cooler, got a lot of beer. and ransacked the store. the store looks a lot better because the community has been pitching in to clean up.

ground and leave. they are on my property. they are here on the property and the business. but we don't need no problem. we're not coming here to start a problem. we're just coming here to protect the store. >> reporter: i saw you today reach into your pocket and give a woman money because you couldn't fulfill her order because the mraet weat was stol >> yes. >> reporter: why did you do that? >> she come in here all the time. it's not her problem. she come to grab her stuff. she paid for it. now the store is closed. i have to give her the money back. >> reporter: what does any of this have to do with the denning death of mike brown? >> nothing to do with michael brown. the family of michael brown was here in the store. they tried to clean up, tried to do everything. the family come in here, and i appreciate everything, you know. i appreciate the community. i appreciate everybody coming to my store here to clean and to clean the store. >> reporter: well, there you have it from mike jacob, a guy

who came to the united states from palestine of all places, trying to make a living, keep his store up and rupp inning. he's been looted twice now. promising to rebuild. this is the atm. they took the money out before the looting last night. guys, back to you in new york. >> mike, thank you for that revealing and riveting report with mr. mike jacob, the owner of that store. also quickly, my understanding through other report sz that some of the community members actually locked arms to try to keep some of the looters out. is that true? >> reporter: yeah. there was a real division among the demonstrators. a lot of demonstrators wanted a peaceful demonstration. they would stand in front of some of the stores as the looters came through. you've got a lot of people saying looters are outsider whoz ip jekted themselves into the situation, nothing more than opportunists trying to take advantage of a mob mentality. >> mike, thank you. julie? kelly, here is a time line of how the situation played out of the at 11:51, police get a

robbery of a ferguson convenience store. three minutes later an officer arrives and gets a description of the suspect. it's broadcast three minutes later. shortly after that at noon, officer darin wilson leaves the scene of a different call. he almost immediately encounters michael brown walking on a street and that is when the shooti shooting happens. another officer then leaves and arrives three minutes later, and an ambulance is called. the u.s. launching new air strikes against islamic terrorist in northern iraq in a bid to knock out isis from the mosul dam. this is after isis massacre 80 yazidi men and kidnap women and children. greg joins us with the latest. hi, greg. >> reporter: hey, julie. this operation around the dam is quite significant. it really represents a new front

that the united states has opened up in its war on the isis militants in this country. fox news has learned that f-16 and f-18 fighter planes as well as unmanned drones were involved in this operation. they've been hitting militant positions around the strategic mosul dam since early this morning. six strikes all told. there are reports of fighters killed and one report says it represents air cover for a possible attempt to retake the dam. sources say that the u.s. is trying to head off chance that isis will blow that dam up or let it burst, which would be deadly, devastating to the entire region. now, as more details are coming out about that terrible massacre of ethnic minority area seyazey spent some time with some yazidi refugees in a shelter here in erbil. at least 80 men were killed, 100 women and children kidnapped

after they refused to convert to isl islam. one eyewitness said there were corpses all around. and the u.s. military said, after spotting the massacre from the air, they hit isis vehicles with drone missiles, killing some of those involved. now, we were with the yazidi refugees today. they came from that same area. they told us that they were shocked by the news of this. they had traveled 150 miles to get here, to get away from the militants. there are 400,000 refugees, 1.millio1.5 million across the en0 tire region. we've seen and heard about international air lift humanitarian supplies as well as elsewhere. one final note from our sister networking sky news, they are reporting that own sources that there have been more killings in that town today by isis militants. we do not have that confirm canned.

we do have kfconfirmed that the are a very dangerous lot. back to you. >> greg, thank you so much. the battle against isis has sent 130 more u.s. troops to iraq this week. we want to hear from you. does this have the earmarks of mission creep back into iraq? tweet me. i'll 0 read some of your responses and questions for our expert later in the show when i speak with captain chuck nash. kelly? >> we'll have more on iraq later this hour. also be sure to tune in tomorrow to "sunday morning futures" with marie 0 area bartiromo. she'll be talking with arizona congressman trent franks a member of the house armed services committee, tomorrow right here on fox news channel at 10:00 a.m. eastern. a grand jury indicting texas governor rick perry on two felony counts for allegedly abusing his veto power. the case makes perry the first

texas governor to be indicted in nearly a century and could throw cold water on a possible white house run in 2016. our chief washington correspondent james rosen picks up the story live from d.c. james, good to see you. what's happening with this? >> kelly and julie, good afternoon. america's longest serving governor now facing two felony counts of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. these carry a maximum punishment of 109 years in prison. a travis county grand jury charged that perry tried to force the resignation of this woman in austin after she was arrested on a drunken driving charge last year. when she refused, perry made good on a threat to veto claiming she had lost the public's confidence. the special prosecutor in this case says governor perry will soon be arraigned at the county criminal courthouse a few blocks from the governor's mansion. in a statement, perry's counsel

called the indictment a political abuse of the court system adding, the facts of this case conclude that the governor's veto was lawful, appropriate and well within the authority of the office of the governor. today's action which violates the separation of powers outlined in the texas constitution is nothing more than an effort to weaken the constitution authority granted to the office of texas governor and sets a dangerous precedent, unquote. of course the indictment poses a serious challenge to perry's effort to position himself as a leading contender for the 2016 republican presidential nomination. in a recent op-ed perry attacked for dangerous foreign policy of fellow republican and 2016 as print senator rand paul of kentucky. paul shot back that perry was full of bluster and doubling down on the failed policies of the iraq war. in short, it requires of suspension of disbelief to imagine that even in the event of dismissal of the charges or full equital they won't somehow be used against perry by his rivals.

>> james rosen, thank you. coming up, we'll have more on governor rick perry in just a few minutes when our political panel weighs in on the case. stay tuned for that. now to weather and severe thunderstorms expected to develop in the nation's midsection. parts of kansas, missouri and iowa could see strong winds, large hail and even isolated tornadoes. meanwhile, a cold front extending across the northern plains and the upper mississippi valley. this system is expected to generate thunderstorms in the region as it collides with a warm air mass. the latest on the investigation of an american woman's body found stuffed inside a suitcase at a luxury resort overseas. what police are now saying about the two suspects. plus, an historic carousel that managed to survive hurricane sandy now a target of controversy. we'll tell you why, coming up.

time now for a quick check of your latest headlines. authorities say a new york couple suspected in the abduction of two amish sisters may also have planned to take other children. the pair was arrested yesterday, a day after the girls were found safe and sound luckily. new developments after

authorities found an american's woman stuffed inside a suitcase on bali. a couple arrested in connection with the crime could face the death penalty. the victim was the mother of a female suspect. and pope francis holding an open air mass in front of some 800,000 of the faithful in south korea. the pontiff honoring dozens of korean mortgaartyrs for spread christianity through the region. critics call it an abuse of power, but rick perry says he was exercising his right and document when he vetoed state funding for the office of public attorney after she refused to step down after a drunken driving address. joining me angela mcglowan and doug thornell. good of you to join us today. first of all, are you surprised by this? doug? >> am i surprised? doug, are you surprised by this?

>> am i surprised? well, it is a political bombshell. i mean, look, this is a nightmare scenario for someone thinking about running for president. you know, it's a bonanza -- i don't think democrats quite frankly are worried about rick perry right now. for the folks who benefit are rand paul, jeb bush, marco rubio, some of those thinking about running in 2016. >> do you think they're behind it? >> absolutely not. what i'm 0 saying is just politically this has to benefit the people who are not under indictment, not facing criminal investigations. i think that the next two days, next few days will be really tough for rick perry. he's going to be booked, fingerprinted, and have his mug shot. these are not in a presidential playbook. >> hold on to that point. angela, here's the big question. governor rick perfect riff becomes the first governor indicted in tex it tex since 1917. the governor's private attorney responds this way, basically, stating i am outraged and appalled that the grand jury has

taken this action, given the governor's constitutional right and duty to street toe funding as he deems inappropriate. so is this political theater, angela, or did the governor abuse his power? >> this is political theater, but it's a pr nightmare. if i were the governor's strategist, i would have had him meet with the d.a. privately. kelly, this is a district county. travis county reelected this lady by 74.4% of the vote. she's very popular. why have a public war with the d.a.? now, as the commander in chief, would i want a d.a. to break the law while prosecuting the law? no. but there was a better way to handle this. doug is right. for a presidential hopeful to have a mug shot does not bode well for maybe the next president of the united states. i do think it is politically motivated but not by my republican colleagues. it is the democratic county near austin. >> let's point out that governor perry is not commander in chief. that's president obama. >> no. he's commander in chief of his state. >> chief executive of his state.

essentially the governor vetoed some $7 million in state money to fund the travis county district attorney's office after the d.a. we're talking about, rosemary lehmberg, as we saw in james rosen's package, refused to step down following a drunk driving arrest in 2013. so given that, what's the governor supposed to do in order to correct that when he believes she has violated the public trust, doug? >> well, i think -- look, i think the issue here is not whether or not the governor has the right to veto funds. he clearly does. the question here is whether or not tying it in a way that is intended to coerce a public official to step down makes it an abuse of power. and we'll see. look, i believe in america. look, you're innocent until proven guilty. he has a right to make his case. i don't know what other steps were at his disposal. public pressure on her to step down. it is an someone who has a dui conviction

to be a d.a. but at the same time i think rick perry -- and i agree with angly -- probably could have been a little smarter in terms of how he applied the pressure on this lady to resign. >> you know, angela, in texas they do things big. did the governor do something big in terms of a big blunder? >> he made a big blunder. again, as the chief executive officer, he can stop appropriation funds. that is his job at his discretion and the people of texas elected him to do that. however, kelly, in trying to have this lady actually resign, he hurt the constituents, his constituents and her constituents, that actually elected her. so he should have done some type of shadow campaign, had the actual public ask her to resign instead of saying, if you don't resign, i'm going to veto a bill to give you $7 million. >> how do you think this will play out, both of you, in the bid that he would like to make for the 2016 presidential election? >> i think he'll be victorious

and not be prosecuted. however, he will be prosecuted in the court of public opinion and perception is reality. go ahead, doug. >> he has to hope that this goes away, some way or another. his legal team has to make this go away, whether it's plea bargaining or get the charges dropped before next winter/early spring when the campaign is going to be in full force. you don't want to have an indictment -- you don't want to be under an indictment during a presidential campaign. what it does is scares funders. it scares political supporters around the country. it makes it so he becomes unelectable. so he's got to deal with this very quickly or else i think his prospects are very, very dim. >> both of you make a valid point. democrats in texas claim the governor's action amounted to improper coercion of an elected official but republicans say the public integrity unit is actually a partisan operation for democrats hand-pick grand jurors to harass hk orepublican officials. seems to be a real partisan

divide. do they resolve that? >> i think the governor will be exonerated, but his reputation will be smudged. if i were running against him as a republican hopeful will for president, i would bring out the mug shot. it's sad, and the fact is you do have corruption in politics. but in the united states we have the best political system in the world. >> doug quickly? >> this is a big blow to republican governors across the country. you know, about three or four years ago they were the shine stars of the party of the now you consider chris christie under investigation, scott walker in wis under investigation, bob mcdonnell, a former governor of virginia, on trial, now rick perry. >> they have nothing to do with rick perry running for president, doug. >> angela and doug, we have to leave it there. you continue the log. we've got to go. thank yoution angela and doug. good of you both to join us. thank you. >> thank you. hurricane sandy destroyed thousands of homes and landmarks. fortunately, though, some

managed to weather the storm. one of those survivors a historic carousel is up for auction. and that is sparking major controversy. brian joins us from the new york newsroom with the details. >> well, that 104-year-old iconic carousel is one of about 150 vintage merry-go-rounds left in the united states it's a jersey shore staple. the family who owns it says they have to sell the ride because of, quote, current market conditions putting it on the auction block for potentially $3 million. the management company points to insurance costs and says people will forget about the merry-go-round when they add newer rides. >> i think it's a piece for people to look at, take pictures with, but as you can see, it as not as thrilling a viride that kids are more excited to ride. >> local residents say the carousel is a national landmark. they've started a facebook page

and online petition with over 5,000 signatures. >> people have been coming to this carousel for years. i used to. my daughter does now. she loves it. i don't see why they would want to sell this. >> the auction house says if someone doesn't step up to buy the carousel, they'll dismantle it and auction it piece by piece. the carousel features 58 elaborately carved horses, cal ells, a lion and each animal could fetch up to $2000,000. >> carousel isn't a carousel once it's broken up. it's a series of horses sitting in somebody's living room. it's lost all its spirit. it would be lovely to keep it together, and i would just urge that the community and the state think about it, think hard about it. >> the owners say they're trying their best to keep the carousel intact. the auction could happen sometime in the fall. so far, ten potential bidders

have expressed interest. julie? >> brian, thank you very much. the u.s. military carrying out air strikes near a major dam in iraq, targeting isis, this as the obama administration sends more troops to the country. so is our involvement there getting deeper and deeper? and an ordinary guy doing some extraordinary things. we will show you how this man uses his creativity to raise awareness of safety. yeah...

more air strikes in northern iraq today, this time targeting isis militants who have taken control of a critical dam, this after a week of attacks to free

religious refugees who are under siege by the terror group. and now 130 more u.s. troops are on the ground there. that's a big development. does this have the earmarks of mission creep back into iraq? captain chuck nash a retired navy captain and fox news military analyst. he joins me now. first let's get to the breaking news that came out last night and this morning that according to a senior u.s. against official that u.s. war planes began launching air strikes last night continuing this morning. the operation involved f-16 and f-18 fighter jets, manned and unmanned planes dropping bombs around mosul dam. that if isis fighters were to release water from that dam it could be flooded with an estimated 60 feet of water creating a humanitarian zast iter. new question to you is, why wasn't this done weeks ago? >> well, isis just took the dam not long ago. they pushed the kurdish forces off of there. it's not just the flood

potential. this is a very, very, very large dam. it's the largest dam in iraq and the fourth or fifth largest dam in all of southwest asia and the middle east. this is a massive dam. the other part of the issue is, other than the flooding, it is the major source of electrical power for the entire northern reach of iraq. so if you were to take out the electrical side of this, the hydro electrical side of this, the distribution piece, then you can't pump sewage, you can't pump water, food rots, and it would cause a massive humanitarian disaster. the way to look at this dam is it is a stationary weapon of masses destruction if it is mishandz elled. >> and another way to look at this is it seems everybody is on board here in the united states as far as going after isis. >> yes. >> we have a fox news poll i want to put up asking our viewers whether or not they approve or disapprove of the u.s. air strikes in iraq. an overwhelming 65% of us

approve. retired united states marine corps general and the former united states national security adviser general james jones writes an interesting column in the "wall street journal." i want to quote him and you react to 0 this. the iraq crisis is far worse than anything we've faced since the 2003 invasion. we have a duty to defeat isis and keep the country intact. >> i couldn't agree with him more. i met general jones when he was a colonel commanding a marine xexpedition or unit special operations capable up in northern iraq. i met him up there at that time. he goes way back. he understands northern iraq and the dynamics up there. especially the cukurdish region. we really have to separate the kurdish region from the rest of iraq because it is uniquely different, and it is prospering. that's why the attack up there has so much devastation, because it's upsetting that one part of iraq that was really stable and

had a future. so, yes, it's not just that the kurds need defending. >> right. >> it's that this gross concept of isis needs to be destroyed. it cannot be reasoned with. this beast must be destroyed. >> general jones also points out that, quote, we now see how unwise the policy was to trust malaki who resigned thursday after eight years of misrule, a quote, adding that washington bears some blame for not taking timely action that could have limited this summer's chaos. what should the obama administration have done to prevent this mess? how many troops should we have left in iraq in order to protect the christians there that are now refugees? >> well, it's no surprise and general jones points it out, we're making up for lost time and missed opportunity, united states supported malaki twice in his elections. both of those were mistakes, especially when we could see -- >> the world knew we couldn't protect him, we shouldn't be

protecting him, that we couldn't trust him. why didn't our president know that? >> well, there's been a change in iraq, of course. haider al abadi has been elected. he is moving into the position of being tprime minister. malaki is out. they're given a change. this is a potential inflection point. now, we'll see if al abadi does actually does what needs to be done. he was the spokesman for a while on critical issues for malaki. they're both shia. both very tightly politically aligned. we'll see. but malaki could not do what needs to be done because he's got so many cronies involved in this. that's what happened to the whole iraqi military. they threw out the guys who really knew what they were dog of the he put his cronies in, and then when it hit the fan, they all took a hike and the troops bailed out, too. if the officers run, what are the troops going to do? >> exactly.

very good question. defense secretary hagel refers to those troops as the extra are troops we sent in there. i wanted to ask you and our viewers at home on twitter, does this have the earmarks on mission creep back into iraq? >> this has all of the earmarks of the necessary steps that are going to be needed to make up for the misjudgment of not doing what we should have done to wind this thing down once we achieved success. >> a couple tweets. this is not mission creep back into iraq. this is a terror threat to the free world who just happened to be in iraq. stop isis. mark g. says, the iraq situation a golden opportunity. send in division of tanks and a-10s to crush isis. i believe the rest of the world would agree. that would be the job that needs to be done. >> well, i don't think u.s. ground forces in mass is the answer. i think it's kurdish forces, iraqi military forces, and i would love to see what the turks think about this because they

are sitting all along that northern flank of isis as it comes from syria east into iraq. so if the turks could get involved and the kurds, if we had not broken our promise to them and armed them the way we told them we would -- >> exactly. arming the kurds is where we went wrong there. >> yes. >> we can't name and count all the wrongs. but it's time to right the wrongs. >> it is. it's not going to be easy but has to be done. >> that's all the time we have. we appreciate having you on. i wish we had more time. thank you so much, sir. >> my pleasure. in today's "beyond the dream" we look at a young man who uses his talent to educate and encourage people. how we can use our creativity to enhance our service to each

other and thrive in our careers. hurricanes, tornadoes and other forms of severe weather can wreak havoc for communities. fallen trees and downed power lines can cause power outages, leaving millions of customers without power for hours, days, or even weeks. on the front lines to restore that power are linemen and servicemen for power companies. they are the unsung heroes. for some, restoring power to your home, it doesn't seem like standout work. often we take for granted people putting their lives on the line for our needs and safety. but standing out comes natural to dennis mcdade of dominion power. he's an ordinary guy doing some extraordinary things. a man of many talents, dennis produces video journals, animations to create awareness of safety. >> what happened? >> it was the last job of the day, and i took a shortcut. >> and give insight as to what

hardworking servicemen do. >> i'm going to go ahead and install this fault chaser on the line, hook up the underground line, just in case this cable is bad. it's not a violent explosion. >> his most popular work to date is a rap video called "safe." ♪ safe i got my hard hat on ♪ safe i got my fr ♪ safe i got my gloves on >> dennis attributes the creation of his video journals, safety raps and safety animations to dominion power embracing diversity. >> when i first brought the safety rap to dominion's attention, they instantly ran with it. they appreciated the song. it became a hit. everyone is singing the song. it's for the public, gives the customers at look at what we do, insight into how we approach a job when the lights are out, the precautions we take, the safety measures we take to get the lights back on. because i am an active member of

fairfax safety committee, i always try to come up with more creative ways to promote safety. i never want to have the same message so i want to try something different. i always wanted to get into animation so i gave it a try. >> it's getting late. let's pay our tab and get out of here. we have to make sure we're fit for duty in the monk. >> dennis is fully tapping into his creativity and applying it to his work. he says it all tied in to what he learned as a child growing up in cleveland, ohio, plus his experience in the air force. >> my mother and grandmother always instilled in me a hard work ethic. anything in life you want you actually have to work hard for it. you give it your all, give god the glory,s and you go ahead and anything in life you want, you go ahead and get it. >> and all that he does, dennis never take iz his focus off the main thing about his job. >> safety is paramount. what we do every day has to be revolved around safety. i have a family at home who loves me so i have to make sure i'm safe each and every day so i can go home to them and continue to do my job. >> dennis' attitude is very

inspiring. we can learn a lot from his example of how to become a better employee and a better neighbor and pursue a life "beyond the dream". >> give everything your all. help each other. keep safety paramount. safety should always be first. look out for each other. we're all here. we all have dreams. we all have ambitions, things we want to do. let's all support each other's dreams and help each other make our dreams come true. >> well said, dennis mcdade. >> i love him! we all love him. he was doing backup singing for him safe and swinging all over the setup. he was great. >> a renaissance man. >> his drawings were impressive. and his rapping. i wanted to hear more of that. he needs to release that. is it on youtube? >> you can find it on youtube. i'm sure if you're listening, do the right thing, put it out there. >> he's great. he's really, really good. i think he's got another career ahead of him. >> he wants to be president of dominion power. >> that's amazing. i like the rapping. >> living "beyond the dream". well, coming up, more

there's an investigative phase going on right now on two tracks. one of them is an administrative track to 0 see if the officer violated policy, if the officer was properly trained, if his equipment allowed him to do the job. then the second track of the investigation is a standard homicide investigation. somebody was killed, and the homicide investigators will be looking at that investigation, trying to determine whether the officer was justified in using deadly force. after those are done, there will be a prosecutorial investigation where the prosecutor's office will either present to a grand jury or review it themselves. >> where does the police force go from here? you talked about the prosecutorial standpoint. what about right now? how do the police actually defuse the situation? >> well, what you saw happening with captain johnson with the state patrol is exactly what they need to be doing, going into the communities talking to people. there's community outreach going on on a regular basis, but obviously right now those relationships are strained.

so behind the scenes what you can't see is people meeting, trying to discuss with community leaders and individuals, some of those shop owners my heart goes out to. they live in that community and some of them have lost everything. trying to bring the community together is probably the first priority for law enforcement. second to investigating what happened last week. >> it's interesting you talk about the shop owner. we had a good shop owner talking today about it, originally from an area where he's accustomed to seeing this kind of atrocity or this kind of violence against his own people. but even if the officer is cleared in this case, how is this police officer affected with this in terms of his future? can he ever expect to serve there again? >> it would probably be very dangerous to put him on the street for a very long time. when cops kill, i interviewed officers who were shot in the line of duty and officers who had used deadly force in the line of duty. it changes their lives forever,

even one officer i interviewed 15 years after he used deadly force. he was still emotional and had to stop the interview. i can tell you that this officer, officer wilson, is going to be going through a tremendous amount, even irrespective of any type of unrest here. and he has a presumption of innocence in this investigation. he's required to participate in one side of the investigation, the administrative, but he has a right not to speak to any criminal investigators, whether they're state or federal. so he's going through a great deal right now. >> lance, that's a good thing you bring up about the officer. but then you go back to the actual shooting, and this young teenager, known to many as big mike, mike brown, also had a presumption of innocence. yet this unfortunate tragedy took place. >> oh, absolutely. it is a tragedy. what we have to understand, anytime someone uses deadly force, a law enforcement officer or a private citizen, the burden is always on them to justify their actions. that's why it's called a

justification. it's an act otherwise justified would be a violation of the law. that's essentially what they're looking into, whether or not the use of deadly force was justified by some action of mr. brown, and that is what the focus of the criminal investigation will be. >> lance lorusso, thank you for your insights and sharing your perspective with us. >> thank you for having me. one governor declaring a state of emergency over synthetic marijuana. what every parent needs to know, next.

the governor of new hampshire declaring a state of emergency, quarantining synthetic marijuana. joining me, private practice md nina radcliffe. emergency public health officials are now allowed to search for this stuff. what are they looking for, and what is synthetic pot? >> there's a term they call it, smack, k2, spice. there's a number of different terms. they're going into the areas and confiscating it and closing down their businesses as well. >> so what do people do with this stuff? >> well, they smoke it. the problem is, it's being marketed as being incense or, for example, potpourri.

it's sold next to gum or other types of candy with rainbow colors. it looks innocuous. it's being masqueraded as something safe. >> how dangerous is this stuff? >> it's very dangerous. it can actually be dead live. we never take a chemical agent like 0 a cleaning agent and ingest it, but this is what we're doing essentially. this is a chemical that can kill. >> new hampshire isn't the only state that's had a synthetic pot problem. what do we do to fight it? >> there's been a ban on this for some time, but it's fallen under the radar. parents need to speak with their children, they need to look at signs for anxiety, psychosis. it can cause seizures, coma, death. we need to talk to our children as well as talk to them about problems with snomoking and alcohol. >> it makes since to get this off the market. >> is it possible to get it all off the market? is it that realistic? >> we want it off the market and bring awareness. we want to talk to our children, hey, there are poisons out there. they may be marketed. not to sit and experiment with.

>> what is it advertised to be? the people who are making this stuff, they're making potpourri? >> they're saying it's potpourri, incense. >> but they know people are going to smoke it. >> they're specifically saying it's not to be inxbrest gesting. dubious advertising. when this gets off the market, it won't be long to change one or two molecules and put another one on the market. >> very dangerous. >> it can a>> doctor, thank you >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> stay away from the spice. >> i thought potpourri was pleasant, but maybe not. >> that will do 0 it for us. i'm kelly write. >> i'm julie banderas. the editorial report is up next. so i can focus on what matters most.
