12:19 pm
contributors. cal, cameron importance about the terrorist threat. and says severe. and our president says, plan? what plan. >> this is not just about bombing isis and the cal fate over there. this is about a coordinated strategy to defeat this evil. if this were a disease we would be in stage four right now. the administrations going back several decades have made mistakes in approaching radical islam. not that it is a secret they are trying to destroy us. they say so in sermons every friday at mosques around the world. they teach it around the world including the united states. they have people going to british prisons recruiting mostly african american but not exclusively to the cause of radical islam. we need to close the border and find these people, these preachers e these immoms and get
12:20 pm
rid of them. get them out of the country. if we don't address this forcefully with more than just bombs king abdullah of saudi arabia is right. they are going to be in europe in a month and america just after that. >> how come the president hasn't taken action or has to strategy. >> i agree with everything with what everything cal said about this. but my only point is the president, he tried to rescue that journalist who got his head cutoff. and they went to the wrong place. our intelligence isn't that good and to just act to satisfy the american people or to look like he's taking action without being clear about what to do about all the things that cal just talked about is not a smart strategy either. so just acting without really a clear plan is not a good thing. so i think the president is getting bad press. >> well it may not be -- >> i agree with that. >> let he just say one thing.
12:21 pm
it's not just trying to protect the american people. it's trying to kill them before they kill us and stop the spread of the radical terrorism we've seen spread in new york and started back in 1990. we've been living through this for years. >> i agree with ellen. we need a coordinated strategy but this is not new. this is not something suddenly appeared overnight. we didn't see it coming before. george w. bush made some major failures in this regard. freedom beats in the heart of every human being. no it doesn't. at least not our kind of freedom. the radical islamist leaves the law is the radical kind of freedom. this is a war between civilizations. those who want toe drag us back to the cave and those who want to drag out to the future. >> i don't have the answer and i think what president obama needs to do is bring all sides in,
12:22 pm
including, you know, people like cal thomas, people who have had a long experience with it. >> don't bring me in. >> that will never happen. >> and then the move ahead and come one a coordinated plan. because i think honestly this is very complex. >> look, a couple years ago he refused to arm the syrian levels. and some think we might not have gotten to this point if we agreed with hillary clinton. >> there is hundreds if not thousands of syrian rebel groups operating there. free syrian army is the group we're working with and they are much more moderate. but this is something that switches very quickly. sometimes you don't know who you are dealing with. >> can this spreading ideology -- and it is spreading and growing. duke it can be shopped? >> i think it can be stopped but we have to fight it as if we are really in the a war. this is a war.
12:23 pm
this is not some come buyia. this is a major mistake during the bush administration, when karen hughes was dispatched to saudi arabia to talk to women there and say look in america we can drive cars. and she was told hay wee don't care. we don't want to drive cars. how do you respond to that. and if you blow up cities like las vegas and chicago that are rumored to be targets by jihadists, what are you doing to do? the first rule of the president, any president is to protect the american people and the american homeland with a porous border i don't care this president is doing that. i don't think this prosecute is doing that. >> what would you like to see? >> a closed border, number one. number two, shut down the schools that teach hate. we need to dpopt deport these who are not american citizens and engaged in sadism.
12:24 pm
we have got to behave as if we are at war because we are. and if we don't behave that we're going to pay the price. >> ellen? >> i agree with him on most things. except i think actually our borders have to be open to people people who really do need and will participate in our economy. >> thanks so much. that is the threat. that is what we face. it is the challenge of our generation. thank you so much. >> thanks eric. >> thank you. okay eric we have a programming note. a can't miss investigation. looks into the terrifying spielly face murders that spread panic across the u.s. >> the university in lacrosse seemed a great fit. not the at least of which it was close to his family's home. >> close enough he's away from home yet we can drive down and pick him up or visit or what
12:25 pm

affected. in ohio several fights broke out in the stands and on the field during a high school football game. the fight played into at least three arrests and the game being called off. both teams received a loss for the incomplete game. and small science of normalcy in gaza. families heading back to the beach after a cease fire. after more than 50 days of the fighting and according to reports more than 2200 people died during the hamas israeli conflict. the sister of the boston marathon bombing suspect now accuse of using her brother's reputation to scare the mother of her boyfriend's child. ailina tsarnaev was arrested and accused of one charge of harassment. does her case deserve special consideration because of her relationship to the alleged bombers? weighing in our legal panel.
12:32 pm
david schwartz and keysha. both former prosecutors. david i'm going to start with you. what now that she has made this threat? he's been arrested but can authorities take further action besides, of course, putting her under heavy surveillance, i'm guessing. but because she is the sister of, are there any grounds to call her in anymore? >> first we don't know if she made the threat. that is an accusation at this threat. i believe this case should be looked at in a vacuum. justice is blind. just because she has a relationship with the brother of the bomber. just because there is a family relationship there doesn't mean she should be treated any differently in case. so i don't think there should be any further action. besides analyzing the case. >> keysha, do you agree? a we're not sure if she made this threat. >> i don't. as with any prosecution, the defendant says i didn't do it.
12:33 pm
that is not anything new. but i do think her relationship to the bombing suspect should be considered in the prosecution. because it goes to what the victim of this threat felt. and any reasonable person who was told i have someone who can put a bomb o on you and you know they are related to this person, that would great high end alarm. >> regarding the so called "people" she allegedly has. what might that entail in terms of the possibly connecting the dots to those alleged people? >> i think that would be a far fetch. but i think there could be some further investigation into her. but i don't think it will affect their prosecution at all because it is not related to that incident. >> david, you are telling me she's been arrested and that's that. and maybe they will just keep her under scrutiny in terms of surveillance. but you are saying they are not going to be tracking her whereabouts in the u.s. and perhaps her travels abroad? >> look. it's a serious accusation to
12:34 pm
threaten to bomb someone. that is a very serious accusation. it has to be analyzed. my point is it has to be analyzed the same way every other case is analyzed. just because she has a relationship with these people doesn't mean the threat -- >> but again this is all alleged at this point. >> right. >> i understand however. you are saying just because she has a relationship, first of all a blood relationship. but secondarily because of who they are. we are not just talking about the college frat boys. >> right. >> she was not accused of anything during that horrible tragedy that took place. so she should be judged within herself. justice is blind. >> why would she make such a ridiculous comment knowing her brother is a suspect in the bombing that destroyed many people's lives. that is not something she should play with and to me makes her very suspicious. >> would it shock you if if victim knew about thank you and she made it p that the defendant said these horrible words to her knowing her brother was involved
12:35 pm
in the bombing? >> we know that does happen but it is all about credibility at this point. >> and that is my whole point. >> and keysha's point is that she would say -- we understand again it's all alleged. these are allegations and perhaps the girlfriend could have made this up. we don't know. but if you looking in terms of reputation, key ma sha's more likely to side in the with the girlfriend in this case. >> and i'm more likely to side with justice. justice is blind. let the case roll out, the prosecution do their thing. let the defense defend and let the people treat it like every ore case. that is the credibility of our justice system. >> let me ask, is there any further questioning of the baby mama, if you will? >> i think there has to be. okay, when did she say it? do you have proof? with any investigation. but i think in today's society you that can't take that lightly. i understand what you are saying about the justice but they have to look with high scrutiny on this type of situation.
12:36 pm
>> and i agree with that. they have to investigate the situation. but not more than any other situation. every threat -- >> so she can go about her business and they are not going to be tracking her moves. >> they may. with but if they do it in any other -- anyone who makes a threat like that could be potentially dangerous and people are tracked all the time. and sometimes people make good on threats and that's why this is very dangerous and has to be treated had same way. >> last word. >> i disagree. i think she has to be treated different because of her connection to the suspect in that bombing. and i feel if we didn't and something happened, then what? it will look gad. >> keysha heaven, david schwartz. now that you have done your duty and come to work today. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> eric. well, you know, hertz, aifs avis. nationals. they all rent cars and now you can do. would you be willing to give you keys to a stranger?
12:37 pm
one start-up wants to do that so you can make extra cash. live with the intriguing concept. hi brian. >> it's relay rides and now available in 2,300 cities allowing car owners to offer their vehicle's for rent on the company's website for free. you set your only price. mileage limits and availability. the average car is renting for about $40 a day. the money is direct deposited into your account within days and you keep 75% of the profit. >> the average owner makes around 250 to $300 a month. by renting out the car 8 to 10 days a month. so by sharing the car a third of the time they are recovering pretty much the cost of their car on a monthly basis. >> the ceo says prices are on average 35% lower that be traditional car rentals and offer more variety of cars. for instance they have over 800
12:38 pm
different car models available. car owners are protected be a million dollar liability insurance policy. every renter's driver history is screened and car owners choose who they want to rent to. in philadelphia we caught up with pamela who was handing off her keys for the day. >> having a little extra money never hurt anybody. you know, it's been great to have. it's just pocket money. you know, i don't have to think about it. >> i needed a car today. i wanted to go to the beach. and i just got the app on my phone and got in contact with her and i got a car now. >> now the company is a part of the emerging peer to peer market with owners renting or sharing their things for profit like air bnb for homes and spinders for bike renters. >> my car, the air conditioner doesn't really work but you can have it. >> it's just sitting there, put it out there.
12:39 pm
>> thanks. on a more serious note. the president of ukraine, what he is warning about the growing conflict with moscow? he says it threatens the stability of all of europe. vladimir putin is saying his country has no part in all this and of course that is something world leaders don't buy. our new flatbread sandwiches may be flat... the flavors, are anything but. so whether it's taste inspired by the freshness of the mediterranean...
12:40 pm
or the smoky spice of the southwest... or bold, adventurous thai flavors... ...you always get flavor that's anything but flat. and always with chicken raised without antibiotics. new flatbread sandwiches from panera... ... each 360 calories or less. try one today. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs.
12:41 pm
advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.
12:42 pm
12:43 pm
the european union potentially hitting russia with a whole new set of sanctions. earlier today leaders held a summit in brussels addressing the continuing conflict in ukrai ukraine. this as russian president putin claims that any russian soldiers in ukraine are there he says because they got lost. how do you spell hoots pa in russian. boy, does this guy have them north?
12:44 pm
it's unbelievable ambassador. you have the sanctions already. now they may put on even more. why would anyone think that further sanctions would deter putin when the previous sanctions have not. >> precisely. well the russians have calibrated their actions in ukraine, seizing crimea, engaging in this kind of activity in the two eastern provinces. giving the separatists weapons and equipment. people have forgotten about the shootdown of the malaysian passenger plane all because they don't see a effective u.s. european response. and as long as that continues put listen continin will contin strategy. and watching the european union meet to discuss new sanctions as if this is that is going to solve the crisis we might as well turn to the ladies aide society. >> the cowanis club.
12:45 pm
they had a meeting, poroshenko and putin. they had a meeting and shook hands. and during the meeting poroshenko the fate of europe is in stake. what is at stake if putin succeeds? >> well i think what putin ultimately wants a government in kiev that is ulterly compliant with moscow's wishes. in effect a satellite. they don't want ukraine toe join nato. and whatever economic connections ukraine may develop with the european union russia nonetheless would want them subordinate to its dominate economic position and i think he's using military force in the negotiations with poroshenko. but these things have a way of spinning out of control. the german foreign minister today effectively warned of that
12:46 pm
possibility. and poroshenko himself today said that ukraine and russia were right on the edge of all out war. this is extraordinarily serious. and i know the president is trying to find a strategy to deal with isis in syria. but the world's a complex place. and it requires american leadership to prevent these kinds of hostilities that we are seeing now spreading into something much worse. it is not just ukraine. i think all the countries of central and eastern europe t former republics of the soviet union are watching very carefully how the west responds to putin and ukraine. right now they are getting pretty cold comfort from it. >> he sent the signal canceling the antimissile shield in the czech republic and poland. do you think putin took a step from that and seeing his measure of the president obama and therefore felt emboldened to do this. >> absolutely.
12:47 pm
i think they have been watching obama in georgia in 2008 when he was just a candidate for president. watching him crushing the georgiaen army. canada called on both sides to exercise restrain. and watched the recap policy when the president put it up in first year in effect giving up the missile defense systems engaging in association over a very ill advised nuclear weapons treaty t new star treaty and on and on and on. they have bargained against obama in the classic way. whatever concession he makes the russians put it in their pocket and say what do you have for me now and obama doesn't seem to get it. i think he's hopefully outclassed by putin. obama things his words actually describe reality. putin knows reality is affected by raw power and that is what he's using.
12:48 pm
>> what about what would be the president's position. in is sense keeping us out of war, no boots on the ground and this being a good use of american strategic ability. >> what it is is display of this administration's weakness. and the laudable goal of preventing hostilities is undermined by american weakness. it is american strength and the deterrent power that we have that our alliances have that dissuade adversaries in engaging in this kind of hostilities. a weaker america doesn't make for a more peaceful world. it makes for a more complex and troubling world. and that is what we're seeing right now. this is a result of american and western weakness. >> ambassador john bolton. as always good to see you. we'll see you tomorrow at 12:00 noon in your usual spot. >> thank you. and you know labor day weekend means a trip of the beach or a day off from work. it also means the kickoff
