tv   Happening Now  FOX News  August 27, 2014 8:00am-9:01am PDT

8:00 am
guard base in westfield massachusetts, a training flight to new orleans, so that is latest on that. eric, thank you for being with us and i will see you at 2:00. "happening now" starts right n now. jon: chilling news of an american killed fighting for the enemy in syria, growing concern of u.s. citizens and other westerners crossing the line to join the terrorists. jenna: the pentagon confirming 33-year-old douglas macarthur was born and raised in the midwest and eventually moved to california before disappeared overseas when he was killed fighting for isis in syria. that news underscore in the report out that 300 u.s. citizens are believed to be fighting side-by-side with islamic terrorists in iraq and
8:01 am
also in syria. joining us in the newsroom in jerusalem, hello, connor. >> the exact details in the death are still sort of unclear. officials saying he was killed over the weekend in syria fighting alongside isis. one of hundreds of americans fighting in iraq and in syria alongside different militant groups. officials say these americans present a real threat to the united states, militants like mccain we use their passports returned to the united states along with some sort of an attack. he grew up in minnesota and recently lived in san diego. it isn't clear would let him down the path of radical islam but his social media account shows around the time of 2010, says they were unaware of his activities, they spoke to him just on friday and believe he
8:02 am
was in turkey, not syria. after james foley was killed by militants, the group is demanding nearly $7 million in exchange for the release of another american, identified 26-year-old female aid worker third known worker in custody. funding much of the activity through kidnapping and has amassed a huge fortune doing so. isis bankroll is gigantic. they stayed as one of the many reasons why isis is so dangerous and so scary, a real threat to the u.s. heather: close to $2 billion. thank you, more throughout the morning. jon: it was déjà vu with a twist in florida as the former governor charlie crist won the primary but this time he was running as a democrat, he will face the current republican governor rick scott who won his primary last night.
8:03 am
it is stated to be one of the nastiest and most expensive in recent history. joining us now with a look, karl rove, senior advisor also with us, former howard dean campaign manager, fox news contributors did charlie crist has name recognition in florida, he served as governor there before. are they going to resent the fact he has now switched parties twice since he had the governor's seat? >> this is one of the things he's going to have to overcome. he was running as an independent first at the public in claiming to be a ronald reagan republic republican, these are the kind of gymnastics charlie crist is famous for, one of the things that is going to make it a stiff climb for him to win even though governor scott has made some
8:04 am
tough decisions that were unpopular, they are now proving to be right, i think. it is going to be a tough contest, going to be resolved ultimately to scott's benefit, but a close contest. jon: he has name recognition, do they care he was republican and independent after that? >> this will go down to the wi wire. i think this will come down to turn out, and that is the republicans. in florida the last two or three governor races many more republican turned out that democrats so it is a question
8:05 am
one of the things that helped bring up the score yesterday was that he has lots of obama operatives on the ground helping him turnout democrats, that workworked to run up that margi. can that come together in the general election? i would not underestimate the ability to turn out votes in november. jon: let's talk about something else being talked about in the political senate circles, minority leaders, caught on tape detailing his plans if the g.o.p. should win back the senate in the upcoming midterm election, politico had this tape parent the of which mcconnell talking about things he would do, but essentially he has said the same things in public, has he not? >> this is a little weird, politico has a tape at a close
8:06 am
to meeting that he attended in which mcconnell says the things he has said publicly four months, republicans take control in the senate, they will use the power of the purse between the house and senate republicans, putting writers indicate the president of many states undertaking certain actions like refusing to allow money to be spent for certain activities. this is something the senator has been talking about four months as a way to constrain the presidency and yet politico tries to make a big deal out of the fact they got him a tape anything in a private meeting. he had said it publicly four months. jon: it is the nation who has that, i apologize. you say you were talking about the charlie crist race saying charlie crist will have the
8:07 am
advantage of the democratic ground game that has proved so valuable for president obama, is that going to work when it comes to the senate, democrats who seem to be hurting, is the ground game going to help them? >> i think that is democrats have to counter the ground game, look, i've started this whole season saying republicans were going to win 4-10 u.s. senate seats in november. even today i would edge up between 5-10. just looking at the trend, but all these races, think carl would agree is within the margin of error, and in the end the ground game. when you have the races one or two points apart, ground game turning out votes actually has an edge that kind of situation. you cannot do anything if you are down by eight points, i have
8:08 am
been on the other side of the obama ground game and it is for real, 2012 the nation got to see some of that, and i would not underestimate that ability in florida, i would not underestimate that ability in places like arkansas and louisiana and some of these other key states, north carolina and other key states that are really tight races right now. jon: president obama doesn't want to see himself hobbled in the last two years of his term by a completely related house and senate. he will probably do whatever he can to prevent that from happening. is he going to unleash the ground game that was so effective to help him when the white house? >> yes, he can, but a ground game is not something you put together in the last 68 days of a race. it depends on the candidate,
8:09 am
some of these candidates do not have the ability president obama did to energize, turnout the african-american community. third, this depends on the broader environment. we give this credit to president obama's ground game, but remember president obama only got 97% of the votes in 2012 that he got in 2008. what we ought to be looking at is the broader turnout, a gubernatorial primary out there, 407,000 republicans turned out in the republican primary, 233,000 turned out the democratic primary. registration cap, democrats for 75% of the registered republicans, the turnout yesterday among democrats equal to 55% of the turnout of republicans. there is an enthusiasm gap. more will be wired up of voting
8:10 am
against president obama than voting for president obama this fall. heather: is anybody paying attention? can you rely on the numbers you are seeing right now? >> you can't really: this stuff until your past labor day. all these candidates have a barrage of ads already on both sides, so the fact all these races are so tight, it is too early to tell if there is a wave election to something like 10 pickups or these are individual race against individual candidates and you get four or five pickups, but republicans are going to pick up seats, only question is is it four or five, or can they get to the magic six? we could be down to louisiana trying to break a tie because of a runoff.
8:11 am
jon: thank you very much. heather: let's head overseas now to middle east for the cease-fire between israel and hamas now seemto be holding, that deal hopefully ending the conflict in gaza. john hardy where we spoke to you 24 hours ago, what is different about it? >> there is a much different atmosphere at this point, heather. there is a writer optimism among people that this will indeed hold despite the other cease-fire that was brief and some failed, but there is an optimism. but they just give you an idea of what it is like. we have not seen this before, people, families have been showing up, you can see swimming. that is an area a couple of days ago was taking heavy navy
8:12 am
artillery fire. people are out, the stores are open, greater optimism the fighting is done, and today was the first wave of military aid to start pouring into gaza. take a look. >> behind me that is egypt, that is the egyptian border, and to the west, that is israel. very, very busy as the cease-fire went into effect. seeing vehicles coming and going from both sides bringing a relief supplies the essentials, water, powdered milk, sugar. what we have seen throughout the day. this one in particular. carrying the beef, tuna, chick
8:13 am
chicken. so, while the relief supplies continue to flow into gaza, the damage from the fiv from the fis to be contained. it seemed just about every building, every home was hit in some way or the other. >> and there are busloads of people leaving, folks trapped during the fighting and those coming back home across the border closed during the seven weeks of fighting. now if the cease-fire holds in the month they will sit back down at the negotiations table in cairo, egypt, to go for broader terms. israel's main term is hamas turns. i asked point blank will hamas
8:14 am
disarm, he said no, raising the question is this just another band-aid fix to an overall greater wound? back to you. heather: thank you so much. jon: he is a college football star who claimed he hurt himself trying to save a loved one but next, hear why there are new questions about this story and if he is actually telling the truth. and after the news of american killed fighting for isis, if you are there could be hundreds more fighting for the enemy, we want to know what you are thinking, should the u.s. be keeping a closer eye on passports? our chat up and running. get your thoughts into the conversation.
8:15 am
8:16 am
8:17 am
jon: some new information now, u.s. geological survey warning today northern california is still not out of the woods after last week's powerful earthquake. usgs says at this time one day
8:18 am
at the main shock, monday, the probability of a strong and damaging aftershock in the next seven days is approximately 1:4. over the next week there is a 12% chance of a strong and possibly damaging aftershock. a small chance of an earthquake equal to or larger than the main shock the possibly of up to 10 small aftershocks. coming up we will look at the response effort after sunday's earthquake, how hospitals in the area handled many injured peop people. heather: university of california is looking into a defensive back josh shaw story about his injured ankle. he told officials it happened when he jumped from his second-story balcony to save his seven-year-old nephew from drowning in a pool below the investigators say they have reason to believe that may not be what causes injury. live in the l.a. bureau with
8:19 am
that story. good morning. as far as we can tell, no family member has come out to back up his story, right? >> so far we have not heard from the family members, heather. usc is friday figure out exactly what happened because apparently the university received several phone calls that contradict his story. he is one of the trojans best defensive players, just named captain last weekend, he told the usc. in his hometown of palmdale on saturday when he saw his nephew drowning h that he jumped from e second story to save the seven-year-old and injured himself in the process. on monday they praised him putting a press release which impart had this quote saying i would do it again for whatever kid it was, did not have to be my nephew. yesterday they backtracked. >> we are looking at it, but beyond that i only know what i
8:20 am
know, josh is adamant with what occurred and we will continue to look at the other stories that have come across our desk or the phone. reporter: los angeles police department spokesperson tells us there is a report about a break-in saturday night 60 minutes from where he says he rested his nephew. joshua shaw was mentioned but not as a suspect. here is what we know for sure with all of these questions still going on. apparently he has to go high ankle sprains. next saturday big showdown against stanford, looks like he will not be able to play in either of those games because of the injury, this could have a big impact on the trojans schedule moving forward. jon: some other stories out of california also. a surfers dream could turn
8:21 am
deadly in california. monster waves have already taken a life as a hurricane skirts the west coast. we will have the latest weather advisory plus crossing over to join enemy in syria, will they return to attack us at home?
8:22 am
8:23 am
did you know a ten-second test could help your business avoid hours of delay
8:24 am
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. jon: a big storm surge expected for southern california as hurricane murray makes its way toward mexico. dangerous conditions at the malibu. three. it remained closed today after the unconscious man was pulled from the water. he later died. hurricane murray is not expected to make landfall but it is raising dangerous waves and flooding. expected and officials say
8:25 am
surfers and swimmers should be aware. the storm advisory will remain in effect through friday evening. heather: a lot of new fears of those joining the ranks of the terrorists. u.s. citizen douglas macarthur mccain died while fighting in syria. the first known american killed fighting for that group and there could be hundreds more and thousands of europeans joining the group as well. that is dangerous because their passport let them enter the united states very easily. a former spokesman to the united nations and fox news contribut contributor. the good news is they used mccain over there instead of having him come here to do something to americans. he was on the no-fly list, but was that enough? >> not enough. we have to reform the visa process. visas are given in the embassy
8:26 am
overseas. but >> are be at their the first and second officers, they are very junior. also very nervous. i have the keys to the united states for all of our embassy across the world. the software, computer system is not very friendly system. with the bosses sign their name on some of these so they take ownership. heather: there is so little accountability for the federal government. this virtually impossible to
8:27 am
fire somebody. >> specifically the 9/11 hijackers. heather: some of them came over on a student visa and a work visa. whole other issue to this, that is the americans going over there and can so easily come back. how do you prevent these guys that think they have gone to syria or elsewhere from coming back to the united states? >> we have to do more than the no-fly list. we have the technology, we should be able to act quickly. when they are on the no-fly li list, when the passport is scanned through delta airlines in cairo, you should absolutely be immediately at only flag, but the authorities should be notified and you should be arrested with some sort of issue tags to you, and we know there are individuals wanted not just on the no-fly list but wanted by
8:28 am
the fbi or interpol. heather: there are 38 countries on the visa waiver program where they are not required have a visa to come to the united states, what do we do about that program, to changes need to be made? >> changes have to be made but in europe. you can very easily go from is symbol to berlin easily, a turk they get into germany very quickly and once you are in germany as a european, it is easy to get to canada or even the united states because of what we have with europeans, so the 2500 european passports that are fighting for the islamist terrorists, all sorts of different organizations throughout the middle east is a real problem for the europeans, but it is coming to the
8:29 am
united states. we only have about 100 roughly they say that our american passports, but still that is a lot. heather: thank you so much, fox news contributor, i know we will continue on talking about this. what have you got over there? jon: good point about 9/11. it is banned by american airlines, just spark a battle that grounded united flight but you may be surprised to learn what has happened to the legroom gadget known as the knee defender since the incident. we have more on that. and the surreal stowaway strikes again. will she do real jail time this time? our legal panel weighs in.
8:30 am
8:31 am
8:32 am
8:33 am
jon: fox news alert. about half, i'm sorry, hour 1/2 ago authorities in rural western virginia got word of a plane crash. it appears to be a military flight, perhaps an f-15. our own on starve expert leah gabriel is former f-15 pilot. she joins us with more information. what do we know? >> pentagon officials confirmed to fox news this was a military jet that left from barnes international guard base in massachusetts. it was on a training flight to new orleans. a f-16 charlie from 104th
8:34 am
fighter wing. witnesses say this crash happened before 9:00 a.m. witnesses are tweeting out pictures of smoke coming up from the ground. state police located the crash site. they haven't yet reached the cash site. there is no worth of pilot or any on board the jet, their condition. the f-16 charlie is single seat, dual engine jet. it is older jet. it is being replaced in many cases by the f-22 at this point. at otis barnes field, where the 104th fighter wing is stationed, that is where this flight has taken off from, they do, their role is mainly to do air defense interceptor role. to protect border and arrogance identification zone around washington. this flight appears to be cross-country flight what we call in the in the militarily. about 1400 miles. they were almost halfway to the halfway point, probably flying at high altitude, jon.
8:35 am
jon: sounds like nobody even noticed this until they heard the boom and saw the smoke. i assume if the pilot was able to punch out, i mean, it is not surprising that we haven't heard anything about a parachute or a canopy or anything like that because nobody would have necessarily looking for something like that until they heard the explosion. >> of course. they probably wouldn't look for an ejection until they heard the explosion. the explosion was probably the jet impacting the ground. as i mentioned before, on a cross-country flight like this, around 1400 miles the pilot would have been flying at high altitude. if something went wrong with the jet or something like oxygen failure which i've seen before in f-18 where a pilot crashed you would her that impact coming from such a high altitude. this particular jet, they don't train a lot at low altitude. they're not air to ground type of mission. they mainly fly air-to-air missions, fire missions. so i know that right now people will be looking to see if there is someone who ejected, looking
8:36 am
to try to get to that crash site and try to find out what happened, jon. jon: very strange. we hope the pilot is okay. leah gabriel in our newsroom. we'll let you get more information. >> thank you. heather: leah mentioned, otis, massachusetts, isn't that one of the planes were scrambled from on 9/11 to try to intercept. jon: i believe that is the case. they started doing a homeland defense posture. heather: we hope the pilot is okay. we'll watch that one throughout the morning. we have a fox news business alert to bring you on the airline industry. american airlines pulled itself off the orbitz booking site so many of us use every day to book our flights. us airways merged with american and will they follow suit as well? lauren simonetti is live with all the details. how will this affect us travelers? >> it will get harder to compare airlines, the fares there. american airlines basically breaking up with orbitz at this
8:37 am
pointfies. you get feed to death when you're flying but american doesn't want to pay orbitz high fees for including their flights on orbitz website. no american fares are listed on orbitz. since american merged with us airways, no us air tickets will be on there either started monday. american wants orbitz and other booking sites as well to use better technology so it can sell you options like preferred seating. speaking of seating, did you guys hear about the two passengers who fought on a united flight over the weekend? one will call them, the tall passenger, they used what is called a knee defender. we have picture of it. it is basically a plastic gadget you place near your tray table to prevent the seat in front of you from reclining. well the passenger who was prevented from reclining got so mad, they apparently threw water at the tall passenger and the fight had to make unscheduled
8:38 am
landing. so the question is, who is to blame? the maker of the knee defender, a device on the market more than a decade or the airlines who keep making seats smaller, what do you think, heather? heather: always the airlines, blame it on them, they take all of our money. a lot of times they're not advice of it. >> in this case they were in economy comfort. paid more leg room. heather: passengers are at fault. lauren simonetti at fox business. thank you. you agree with that one? jon: not an airline fan right now. we're learning more about the american journalist held captive by islamic extremists in syria almost two years. there he is. peter curtis, home with his family in massachusetts now, telling his story, at least a tiny bit of it. a very fortunate man and thankful one. you will hear what he had to say coming up. a brazen robber and carjacker staking out a cash minute in bustling downtown. one atm, three robberies, but
8:39 am
this time he was caught by a security camera.
8:40 am
8:41 am
8:42 am
jon: let's check out what is coming up on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. andrea and sandra, what do you have? >> hey, jon. a top lawmaker calling out the u.s. intel community saying its failure to detect the spread of isis in the middle east is quote, the greatest intelligence failure since 9/11. >> plus, it will be the first-of-its-kind. a prime time sports show, hosted, produced and directed all by women, no men. so will people watch? i say only in sandra smith is on it. >> there you go. the pc police out in full force after the emmys. actress stacy dash will weigh in on the controversy behind sophia vergara's skit and tribute to robin williams. >> plus our #oneluckyguy on "outnumbered" at top of the hour. jon: we'll see you then. heather: police are searching
8:43 am
for accused cereal robber and carjacker in florida. three robberies at the same atm in downtown orlando. this one was caught on camera. officers say that the suspect tried to rob a women. instead of handing over money, she ran to a car where the friend was waiting. man was caught up, forced both of them out vehicle and took off. officers say he stole victim's car. look at that. door is open. guy keeps backing up. lucky the ladies were not seriously hurt. if they have information and no the guy at crimeline athundred-423-8477. that happening in orlando, the manhunt is on. jon: hope they get him. new information on the woman known as serial stowaway. madelyn hartman is at it again, for trying to sneak on to another flight without a ticket. she was caught at phoenix's sky harbor international airport. hartman, who claims to be homeless has been arrested or detained at least 10 times since
8:44 am
march for the same thing. joining us now, fred tecce, former federal prosecutor. esther panitche is a criminal defense attorney. esther, if you're defending this woman, what do you say to the judge or magistrate that is hearing this case? >> help. >> if you're defwoman clearly se of mental issue you want to explore. also you may want to have her kind of help out the authorities or offer to have her help out the authorities because clearly she is getting through where she shouldn't and tsa may want to use her as an advisor to try to find out where the holes are in their security. jon: yeah, fred. she actually managed to board a flight a couple of weeks ago, without a ticket. got on board. flew to some other destination. had no ticket. obviously she has got some issues but is she a danger? >> well, no, she is not a danger other than she shows that there are weaknesses in the u.s. security system that our enemies
8:45 am
may want to try to take advantage of. so i mean this woman has been told repeatedly, jon, you're a pilot, i'm a pilot. look out the window we can't wait to get up in the air. this lady is not a pilot and doesn't have a ticket and told to stay out of airports. esther is bite criminal defense lawyer, making lemonade out of lemons, she wants to government to hire the woman after she violated every court order. she should be in jail. jon: she was sentenced to six months and got out in three days because of overcrowding. you can see why on scale of burglars and robbers, people convicted of assault. you're keeping a woman in prison, jail, who boarded a flight without a ticket. >> well, it's a problem to board a flight without a ticket. it is incredible danger to national security, to our airlines and to the passengers on the flight. not to mention it is theft by using services that you didn't pay for. but again the government has done things like this or, in the
8:46 am
past. they have hired frank abnegale, based on the movie, catch me if you can, dealing with fraud. there are ways the government could use information that this woman has, by showing weaknesses in their security system. it is not unheard of. jon: fred -- >> you knee what? go ahead, jon. jon: if she has some kind of a sickness, is mental illness or mental deficiency, can she make that kind of a plea and avoid more jail time? >> well, i mean she can try but i mean this is not specific intent crime. this is one of those crimes if you do it, almost like a regulatory crime. look, i get this. esther is right. this isn't a bank robbery. this isn't a violent crime. ultimately sometimes cases stand for respect for the rule of law and this woman has completely disrespected and ignored court orders. has taken advantage of the fact she was able to be let out of prison. at some point when you're prosecutor, although you may
8:47 am
feel bad for this woman, sometimes you have to make, you have to take a hard-line and put this lady in jail. jon: why not put, esther, why not put an ankle monitor on her and just, you know, make sure that she stays away from the airport? >> she seems a little too smart for that. if she can get through security at an airport, i don't think an ankle monitor will be helpful at all. she will probably figure out a way to get herself out of it. >> in last two instances, she was arrested outside of a security check point. i think only, i don't know how many times she actually has gotten through, in phoenix, she was arrested loitering outside. she was told a day earlier to stop loitering around. she showed up day later, still outside the security check point without a ticket in violation of her probation. jon: we'll certainly keep an eye on marilyn. she whether she shows up again or what the judge does to her this time. esther panitche, fred tecce. thank you both. >> thanks for having me. heather: just a authority while ago we heard from an american
8:48 am
journalist who was released by al qaeda linked militants in syria after two years of captivity. peter theo curtis, you can see him right there on american soil. how thankful he is to be at home. appears very first time since his release and talks about what it is like to be home with his family in massachusetts. we'll look at a powerful effort after the earthquake hit in northern california. we'll tell you what every family need to know about surviving a disaster. >> just as put my right neon the floor, the chimney collapsed on my back. if i hadn't moved, i'm telling you shouldn't be here right now. i should be dead.
8:49 am
8:50 am
8:51 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. jon: to the latest on the response effort after this
8:52 am
weekend's earthquake in the napa valley region of california. more than 200 people were hurt in the quake. some much them quite seriously. most of them though were treated an released within hours of being admitted to a hospital. dr. marti mccarry, physician of public health at johns hopkins. he is author of, unaccountable and join us now. when you have an event like this, it has to be emergency room physician's nightmare, 200 people knocking on your doors, all hurt at the same time. how do you prioritize? what have we learned from this event? >> you know, jon, hospitals, and particularly emergency room staff prepare for this sort of thing all the time and in california that is even a greater sense of reapedness. they have hospitals they're building, jon, now, that can slide up to 30-inches in any direction. new san francisco general hospital is basically built on a bathtub and can lied 30-inches in any direction much the docs go through drills. that is all new.
8:53 am
we learn and our hospital systems are getting better with every major disaster really in our modern history. jon: just the damage to a hospital building in something like this can be catastrophic. that's why they're doing that, that bathtub you talked about, earthquake resistance that allows the building to slide while the earth around it is moving. how do you think overall how do you think they did in this particular situation? this is the biggest quake to hit that part of the country in 25 years. >> i think they did extraordinarily well but they did learn lessons. it is important to learn lessons. i was surgeon at time 9/11 happened on washington, d.c. there was announcement during surgery finish up quick as safely as you can. half the patients were discharged from the hospital instantly. people that didn't need to be there or could have recovered at home and were cleared out. we saw the hospitals in d.c. learn a lot from that disaster. in this catastrophe, there has been 200 patients that have come in.
8:54 am
luckily no direct more at that times. -- mortalities. they did a tremendous job setting up quick triage situations. doctors with wartime experience thrive in this situation. jon: that's what we have seen coming out of the wars in afghanistan and iraq. those doctors who have seen battlefield injuries, have to work quickly, they are some of the best at handling incidents like this, aren't they. >> absolutely. the most common injuries from earthquake and most mass disasters are broken fractures, concussions or these, sort of subclinical brain injuries and dehydration and burn injuries. people don't realize when an earthquake happens, there is fires that go off all the time from electrical systems and other things that go down. there were at least four fires with just this one earthquake. jon: that was the case this time. they had mobile homes and so forth destroyed. just the fact that the hospital was able to treat some of these people as you look at some of the other businesses that were badly damaged as a result of this quake, just the fact that
8:55 am
the hospitals were open and available to treat people is, well, a testament to good planning in and of itself. >> you never want to say the titanic can never sink, jon, looks like the hospitals now are preparing and more ready than we've ever seen in american history. jon: good to know. dr. marty makary from johns hopkins. thank you. >> good to be with you. heather: that was interesting. jon: some of the construction techniques they're employing to minimize earthquake damage, really interesting. heather: really. all right, news and information coming in now on the american journalist freed after two years of captivity. peter theo curtis making his first statement since being released by islamic militants in syria two days ago. he spoke about his ordeal earlier this morning from outside his home in cambridge, massachusetts. welcome home, theo. take a listen what he said. >> i had no idea whale i was in prison, i had no idea so much effort was being expended on my
